The standout driver behind the results was a sharp acceleration in Box's platform strategy: Suites attached to 73% of deals over $100K, up dramatically from 49% the prior quarter, reflecting strong customer appetite for bundled offerings that simultaneously lifted net retention rate to 106% from 103%. Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 500 basis points year-over-year to 21%, demonstrating that revenue gains are flowing through to profitability rather than being absorbed by costs. Looking ahead, Box guided Q3 FY22 revenue to $218–$219 million with non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 20%, and reiterated full-year FY22 revenue guidance of $856–$860 million, with management projecting revenue growth rate plus free cash flow margin of at least 32% for the year.
