Organization and Description of Business

DocuSign, Inc. (“we,” “our”, “us”, or “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Washington in April 2003. We merged with and into DocuSign, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in March 2015.

DocuSign is the global leader in the eSignature category. We offer products that address broader agreement workflows, and digital transformation, including the world’s leading electronic signature product, enabling agreements to be signed electronically on a wide variety of devices, from virtually anywhere in the world, securely.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Our condensed consolidated financial statements include those of DocuSign, Inc. and our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Therefore, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis consistent with that used to prepare the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2024.

Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2024, for example, are to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, the determination of:
the average period of benefit associated with deferred contract acquisition costs and fulfillment costs;
the fair value of certain stock awards issued;
the fair value of convertible notes;
the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets;
the discount rate used for operating leases;
the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies; and
the recognition, measurement and valuation of deferred income taxes.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our fiscal 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
