We expanded GAAP operating margin to 4.8% and non-GAAP operating margin to 22.5%, generated $530 million in free cash flow, achieved GAAP operating profitability, reduced stock-based compensation meaningfully, and lowered net leverage to 1.7x,” said Vaibhav Agarwal, Chief Financial Officer of RingCentral. “As we enter 2026, we remain committed to investing in durable growth anchored in ongoing world-class innovation, improving GAAP and non-GAAP profitability and free cash flow. We are targeting 20% GAAP operating margins over the next three to four years while further reducing stock-based compensation to drive EPS and free cash flow per share growth. We are also committed to deleveraging with an eye toward achieving an investment-grade profile in the near-term, while returning additional capital through dividends and share repurchases.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported financial results and financial outlook include certain Non-GAAP financial measures, including Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP income from operations, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Non-GAAP free cash flow and Non-GAAP free cash flow margin.

Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin is defined as Non-GAAP subscriptions gross profit divided by GAAP subscriptions revenues. Non-GAAP subscriptions gross profit is defined as GAAP subscriptions revenues less Non-GAAP subscriptions cost of revenues. Non-GAAP subscriptions cost of revenues is defined as GAAP subscriptions cost of revenues adjusted for share-based compensation which includes related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles, third-party relocation and other costs and restructuring costs.

Non-GAAP other gross margin is defined as Non-GAAP other gross profit divided by GAAP other revenues. Non-GAAP other gross profit is defined as GAAP other revenues less Non-GAAP other cost of revenues. Non-GAAP other cost of revenues is defined as GAAP other cost of revenues adjusted for share-based compensation which includes related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles and restructuring costs.

Non-GAAP income from operations is defined as GAAP income from operations excluding share-based compensation which includes related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles, asset write-down charges, third-party relocation costs tied to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and other costs including acquisition-related transaction costs, certain litigation-related costs, change in fair-value of contingent consideration, one-time expenses related to strategic consulting services, other cost-reduction and productivity initiatives, and restructuring costs. Non-GAAP operating margin is defined as Non-GAAP income from operations divided by total GAAP revenue. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is defined as Non-GAAP income from operations excluding depreciation and amortization.

Non-GAAP net income is defined as GAAP net income (loss) excluding share-based compensation which includes related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles, asset write-down charges, third-party relocation costs tied to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and other costs including acquisition-related transaction costs, certain litigation-related costs, change in fair-value of contingent consideration, net impact of amended agreements with partners, loss (gain) associated with investments, intercompany remeasurement gains or losses, one-time expenses related to strategic consulting services, other cost-reduction and productivity initiatives, restructuring costs, non-cash interest expense associated with amortization of debt discount and loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt, and the related income tax effect of these adjustments.

Non-GAAP free cash flow is defined as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for capital expenditures including purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software. We believe information regarding Non-GAAP free cash flow provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating the strength of liquidity and available cash. Non-GAAP free cash flow margin is defined as Non-GAAP free cash flow divided by total GAAP revenues.

We have included Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP income from operations, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income , Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Non-GAAP free cash flow and Non-GAAP free cash flow margin in this press release because they are key measures used by us to understand and evaluate our operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget, and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses and cash flow items in calculating Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP income from operations, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Non-GAAP free cash flow, and Non-GAAP free cash flow margin provide useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business.

Although Non-GAAP subscriptions gross margin, Non-GAAP other gross margin, Non-GAAP operating margin, Non-GAAP income from operations, Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per diluted share, Non-GAAP free cash flow and Non-GAAP free cash flow margin are frequently used by investors in their evaluations of companies, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered alongside other financial performance measures.

For a reconciliation of our forecasted non-GAAP operating margin and free cash flow, see “Reconciliation of Forecasted Operating Margin GAAP Measures to Non-GAAP Measures.” We have not reconciled our forecasted non-GAAP EPS to its respective forecasted GAAP measure because we do not provide guidance on it. We do not provide guidance on forecasted GAAP EPS because of the inherent uncertainty and complexity involved in forecasting the intercompany remeasurement gain (loss), gain (loss) associated with investments, gain (loss) on early debt extinguishment, and provision (benefit) from income taxes, which could be significant reconciling items between the non-GAAP and respective GAAP measures. The intercompany remeasurement gain (loss) is affected by the movement in various exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar, which is difficult to predict and subject to constant change. We do not provide guidance on gain (loss) associated with investments as it is based on future share prices, which are difficult to predict and subject to inherent uncertainties. We do not provide guidance on gain (loss) on early debt conversions and extinguishments as these are based on future conversion requests, future share prices, and interest rates, which are difficult to predict and are subject to inherent uncertainties. We do not provide guidance on forecasted GAAP tax rates as we do not forecast discrete tax items as they are difficult to predict. We utilized a projected long-term tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision. For fiscal 2026, we have determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 22.5%. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release.

Our reported results also include our annualized exit monthly recurring subscriptions (ARR), as well as Net Monthly Subscriptions Dollar Retention Rate. We define our ARR as our monthly recurring subscriptions (MRR) multiplied by 12. Our MRR equals the monthly value of all customer recurring charges contracted at the end of a given month. We believe this metric is a leading indicator of our anticipated subscriptions revenue. We define our Net Monthly Subscription Dollar Retention Rate as (i) one plus (ii) the quotient of Dollar Net Change divided by Average Monthly Recurring Subscriptions. We calculate dollar net change as the quotient of (i) the difference of our monthly recurring subscriptions at the end of a period minus our monthly recurring subscriptions at the beginning of a period minus our monthly recurring subscriptions at the end of the period from new customers we added during the period, (ii) all divided by the number of months in the period. We define our average monthly recurring subscriptions as the average of the monthly recurring subscriptions at the beginning and end of the measurement period.
