Latest quarter
Okta reported Q2 FY2027 revenue of $805.0 million, above the consensus of $792.1 million. Adjusted earnings per share were $1.05, compared with the consensus of $0.96.
Revenue rose from $728.0 million a year earlier. In its filing, Okta attributed subscription revenue growth primarily to more users and additional solutions sold to existing customers, as well as new customers. Professional services and other revenue fell as the company shifted that business to global systems integrators.
Gross margin increased to 79.6% from 76.9%, while operating margin rose to 13.3% from 5.63%. Okta attributed the increase in subscription gross margin primarily to lower amortization of acquired technology and improved spending efficiency. The company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.65, up from $0.37 a year earlier, and free cash flow of $225.0 million, up from $162.0 million.

What management said on the call
An earnings call was not available. In its filing, Okta said it charges subscription fees primarily according to the solutions customers use and the number of users on its platforms.
The company said it expects professional services and other revenue to decline as it shifts more engagements to partners. Okta also said it expects interest income to decrease in FY2027 following the cash settlement of its notes and as it deploys investable cash for share repurchases.
Guidance
Okta raised its FY2027 revenue outlook to approximately $3.2 billion. The company also raised its full-year free cash flow outlook to $910.0 million to $930.0 million.
