Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- Ongoing regulatory initiatives, including proposed changes to SEC reporting requirements intended to reduce burdens on public companies and enhance the attractiveness of capital markets, could affect the performance of certain of our businesses.
- Since solution-based licensing offers our customers an unlimited number of seats for each solution purchased, we expect customers to add more seats over time.
- We intend to continue to build our sales and marketing organization and leverage our brand equity to attract new customers.
- We intend to introduce new solutions to continue to meet growing demand for our platform.
- We believe this expansion will add new users, increase revenue and continue to support our high revenue retention rates.
- However, we expect that enterprise-wide deals will be larger and more complex, which tend to lengthen the sales cycle.
- Our advisory and service partners offer a wider range of domain and functional expertise that broadens our platform’s capabilities and promotes Workiva as part of the digital transformation projects they drive for their customers.
- We plan to continue to invest in the development of our platform, fit-for-purpose solutions and application marketplace to enhance our current offerings and build new features.
- In addition, we expect to continue to invest in our sales, marketing, professional services and customer success organizations to drive additional revenue and support the needs of our growing customer base and to take advantage of opportunities that we have identified in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") and Asia-Pacific ("APAC") regions.
- We continue to transition consulting and other services to our partners and expect the revenue growth rate from subscription and support to continue to outpace revenue growth from professional services on an annual basis.
- On February 16, 2026, our board of directors modified the 2024 Repurchase Plan to authorize an additional $250 million of our outstanding Class A common stock for repurchase under the 2024 Repurchase Plan.
- The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined at our discretion, and the share repurchase program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason.
