Organization and Description of Business

Docusign, Inc. (“we,” “our”, “us”, “Docusign”, 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 offers solutions that address agreement workflows and digital transformation. Docusign’s core offerings, including the world’s leading electronic signature and contract lifecycle management (“CLM”) products, allow organizations to boost productivity, accelerate contract review cycles, and transform agreement data into insights and actions while providing a better experience for their customers. Additionally, Docusign has introduced its Intelligent Agreement Management (“IAM”) platform, enabling organizations to create, commit to, and manage agreements, 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 2024 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, 2024 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 six months ended July 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2025.

Our fiscal year ends on January 31. References to fiscal 2025, for example, are to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2025. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These amounts were not material to any of the prior periods presented.

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 fair value of intangible assets acquired in business combinations;
the average period of benefit associated with deferred contract acquisition costs and fulfillment costs;
the fair value of certain stock awards issued;
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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which enhances disclosures required for operating segments. ASU 2023-07 expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. All disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-07 are required for entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual filings for the Company’s fiscal year beginning February 1, 2024, and interim filings for the fiscal year beginning February 1, 2025, and should be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2023-07 on our financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), amending existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting ASU 2023-09 on our income tax disclosures.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted the final rules under SEC Release No. 33-11275, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, which requires registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. As it pertains to the financial statements, the final rules require the financial statement footnotes to include certain disclosures regarding the amounts of expenses (or capitalized costs) incurred that relate to severe weather events and other natural conditions, as well as other disclosures regarding the material impact on financial estimates and assumptions of severe weather events and other natural conditions or disclosed targets or disclosed targets or transition plans. It also requires disclosure of financial statement amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits. The disclosure requirements will be phased in beginning with our annual filing for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. In April 2024, the SEC issued an order staying these rules pending the completion of judicial review of litigation challenging the validity of the rules. We are currently evaluating the disclosure impact of adoption of the standard on our consolidated financial statements.

We have not adopted accounting pronouncements during the three and six months ended July 31, 2024.
