Delivered a clean beat on both lines in its fiscal first quarter of 2027, extending its EPS consensus beat streak to five consecutive quarters as the identity security company demonstrated durable momentum in a competitive market. Revenue rose 11.2% year-over-year to $765.00 million, edging past the $751.79 million consensus estimate by 1.76%, while non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.91 topped the $0.85 estimate by 6.69%, supported by subscription revenue of $750.00 million that accounted for 98% of the total. The quarter's most compelling signal may have been remaining performance obligations of $4.72 billion, up 16% year-over-year, which management tied directly to go-to-market specialization initiatives driving stronger large enterprise traction. Recent recognition as a leader in a major analyst evaluation of workforce identity platforms adds further credibility to that competitive positioning. Looking ahead, Okta guided Q2 revenue of $790 to $794 million and raised full-year fiscal 2027 revenue guidance to $3.19 to $3.21 billion, reflecting 9-10% growth, with full-year free cash flow expected between $855 and $885 million.

- • cRPO grew 12% YoY to $2.499 billion
- • Go-to-market specialization driving continued strength with large enterprises and increased sales productivity
- • Strong free cash flow of $271 million representing 35% margin
OKTA Forward Guidance & Outlook
For Q2 FY27, Okta expects total revenue of $790–$794 million (9% YoY growth), cRPO of $2.505–$2.515 billion (11% YoY growth), non-GAAP operating income of $204–$208 million (26% margin), non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.95–$0.97, and free cash flow of $155–$165 million (20–21% margin). For full-year FY27, the company now expects total revenue of $3.185–$3.205 billion (9–10% growth), non-GAAP operating income of $806–$826 million (25–26% margin), non-GAAP diluted EPS of $3.79–$3.87, and free cash flow of $855–$885 million (27–28% margin). Revenue guidance reflects approximately one percentage point headwind from accelerating the shift of professional services to partners. Free cash flow guidance reflects approximately one percentage point impact from lower interest income due to share repurchases and intent to settle the remainder of the 2026 convertible notes in cash. The company adopted a lower 21% long-term non-GAAP tax rate (reduced from 26%) primarily due to the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
