Sales increased by 7.3% year-over-year, with revenue hitting $709.64 million. This beat analysts’ expectations of $707.4 million. Interestingly, investors could have anticipated the solid results by simply looking at DocuSign’s website traffic. As the image below shows, the number of visitors rose during the most recent quarter. In fact, total estimated visits jumped 17.62% when compared to the same quarter of last year.
Looking forward, management now expects revenue and a non-GAAP operating margin for FY 2025 to be in the ranges of $2,920 million to $2,932 million and 26.5% to 28%, respectively. This was essentially in line with expectations, as analysts were looking for $2,926 million in revenue, and it is likely the reason why shares are down.
