Last earnings call, Aug 4, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Workiva reported a strong Q2 2026 with total revenue of $255M, up 19% year-over-year and beating the high end of guidance by $3M. Subscription revenue was $236M, also up 19%. The company delivered meaningful margin expansion, reporting a non-GAAP operating margin of 16.8% (a 180 bps beat vs. guide and 1,300 bps improvement vs. prior year) and raised full-year 2026 non-GAAP operating margin guidance to 18%, achieving the 2027 operating-model target a year early. Key operating metrics included 6,750 customers (+283 YoY), gross retention of 97% (above 96% target) and net retention of 111% (above 110% target). Management emphasized broad-based demand across the portfolio, traction in premium tiers and AI agent capabilities, and growing momentum in financial services/fund reporting and IPO-related work. Management reiterated discipline on scaling, continued investment in go-to-market, and stated 2030 targets remain unchanged.
Guidance
Raised full-year 2026 non-GAAP operating margin guidance to 18% (up from prior guide). For the back half of 2026, currency assumptions assume rates roughly flat at end-of-June levels. Company reaffirmed 2030 targets (no update) and said seasonality for billings and free cash flow will be in line with historical trends.
Risks flagged
Increased deal scrutiny and lengthier legal/approval cycles; potential FX volatility (prior quarters benefitted from currency tailwinds that have abated); some services revenue strength was driven by one-time items (11-K filings) and may not repeat; public fund reporting and AI agent monetization are early-stage and could take longer to scale.
