    A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures has been provided in the tables included in this press release. An explanation of these measures is also included below under the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics."

    Operational and Other Financial Highlights:

    Launches Docusign IAM ("Intelligent Agreement Management"): Docusign announced a significant expansion of its company strategy at its Momentum24 NYC conference. Docusign IAM is a platform with services that transforms how customers create, commit, and manage agreements. Services include:

    • Docusign Maestro: Automate and accelerate agreement creation and processes through flexible, customizable workflows without using code. Maestro integrates Docusign products, including eSignature, ID verification, and data verification, with third-party applications.
    • Docusign Navigator: A smart repository that enables organizations to centrally store, manage, and analyze agreements from any source. Powered by Docusign AI, Navigator transforms unstructured agreements into structured data, making it easy for users to find agreements, access vital information, and gain valuable insights from agreements.
    • Docusign App Center: Customers can discover, install, and connect third-party applications to integrate their existing systems with IAM. At launch, App Center will feature an initial set of commonly used apps, including HubSpot, ServiceNow, Stripe, and document-sharing services like Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and Microsoft Sharepoint.
    • IAM application suites: The IAM platform will be offered through purpose-built applications for specific functions within organizations. With the initial Q2 IAM launch, Docusign will offer IAM for Sales, IAM for Customer Experience, and IAM Core. Future application suites will include IAM for Legal, IAM for Procurement, IAM for Human Resources, and other solutions for functions and industry verticals.

    Subsequent to the end of Q1, Docusign announced in late May the general availability of IAM for an initial set of customers. From that point, IAM will gradually roll out across customer segments and geographies.

    AI Innovation Leadership:

    • Lexion Acquisition: After Q1, Docusign closed its acquisition of DocuSmart, Inc. d/b/a Lexion ("Lexion"). Lexion is a leader in AI-based agreement technology with solutions designed to automate workflows and extract vital information from contracts. Founded in 2019, Lexion accelerates Docusign's AI-powered IAM roadmap and brings industry leaders into its technology teams.
    • AI Momentum24 Announcements: Docusign announced the launch of AI-powered Agreement Summarization in Docusign CLM, enabling the creation of concise summaries of large amounts of agreement text. Docusign is also one of the first integrations with Microsoft Copilot for Sales, giving sellers using Microsoft Dynamics or Salesforce Sales Cloud the power to surface and instantly access agreement data relevant to a CRM record.

    Increase to Stock Repurchase Program

    • Docusign's board of directors has authorized an increase to its existing stock repurchase program for an additional amount of up to $1.0 billion of Docusign's outstanding common stock. The program has no minimum purchase commitment and no mandated end date. The repurchase is expected to be executed, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases, and other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and the amount of any repurchased common stock will be determined by Docusign's management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate Docusign to acquire any particular amount of common stock and the repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time at Docusign's discretion without prior notice.

    Guidance

    The company currently expects the following guidance:

    A reconciliation of non-GAAP guidance measures to corresponding GAAP guidance measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, expenses that may be incurred in the future. Stock-based compensation-related charges, including employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions, are impacted by many factors, including the timing of employee stock transactions, the future fair market value of our common stock, and our future hiring and retention needs, all of which are difficult to predict and subject to constant change. We have provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for our historical non-GAAP financial results included in this release.

    The company will host a conference call on June 6, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. PT (5:00 p.m. ET) to discuss its financial results. A live webcast of the event will be available on the Docusign Investor Relations website at investor.docusign.com. Prepared remarks and the news release with the financial results will also be accessible on Docusign's website prior to the webcast.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics

    To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

    We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a management view, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. However, these non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, a substitute for, or superior to our GAAP results.

    Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective GAAP measures, excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation, employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, fair value adjustments to strategic investments, acquisition-related expenses, lease-related impairment and lease-related charges, restructuring and other related charges, as these costs are not reflective of ongoing operations and, as applicable, other special items. The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. When evaluating the performance of our business and making operating plans, we do not consider these items (for example, when considering the impact of equity award grants, we place a greater emphasis on overall stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants). We believe it is useful to exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies and over multiple periods. In addition to these exclusions, we subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to calculate non-GAAP net income. We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 20%.

    Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment, for operational expenses, investment in our business, and to make acquisitions. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in excess of our capital investments in property and equipment. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.

    Billings: We define billings as total revenues plus the change in our contract liabilities and refund liability less contract assets and unbilled accounts receivable in a given period. Billings reflects sales to new customers plus subscription renewals and additional sales to existing customers. Only amounts invoiced to a customer in a given period are included in billings. We believe billings can be used to measure our periodic performance, when taking into consideration the timing aspects of customer renewals, which represents a large component of our business. Given that most of our customers pay in annual installments one year in advance, but we typically recognize a majority of the related revenue ratably over time, we use billings to measure and monitor our ability to provide our business with the working capital generated by upfront payments from our customers.

    For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
