Figma, Inc. (FIG)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Strong first public quarter: revenue $249.64M (+41% y/y), non-GAAP operating margin 5%, adjusted FCF margin 24%; beats vs Street on both revenue and EPS. The company launched four new products (Make, Draw, Sites, Buzz) and highlighted AI as a near‑term margin headwind offset by product differentiation and platform expansion .
  • Guidance: Q3 revenue $263–$265M and FY25 revenue $1.021–$1.025B; FY25 non‑GAAP operating income $88–$98M. Guidance reflects changing monetization with AI credits and consumption elements alongside seat subscriptions .
  • Estimates context: Q2 revenue slightly beat consensus ($249.64M vs $248.67M*) and EPS beat ($$0.09 vs $$0.08*). Q3 guidance midpoint (~$264.0M) was essentially in line with Street ($263.90M*) *. Values retrieved from S&P Global.
  • Potential stock reaction catalysts: lock‑up mechanics—early release for employee shares conditioned after Q2 announcement and extended lock‑ups with staged releases for large VC holders; CEO 10b5‑1 plan for up to ~3.3% of holdings—could influence supply/demand around future earnings dates .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Record revenue and profitable growth: $249.64M revenue (+41% y/y), GAAP operating income $2.08M, non‑GAAP operating income $11.47M; adjusted free cash flow $60.60M (24% margin) .
  • Platform expansion and customer adoption: launch of Make, Draw, Sites, Buzz; >80% of customers using 2+ products and ~⅔ using 3+ products, signaling multi‑product engagement and cross‑sell .
  • Enterprise expansion and retention: Net Dollar Retention Rate 129% (>$10k ARR cohort), 11,906 customers >$10k ARR and 1,119 >$100k ARR (+42% y/y), underscoring seat growth and renewals on new pricing/packaging .

What Went Wrong

  • Gross margin compression: CFO flagged near‑term pressure from AI inference costs as new AI products roll out; Q2 non‑GAAP gross margin 90% (down q/q) with expectation of further compression .
  • Elevated S&M around Config: sales and marketing spend rises in the quarter when the user conference occurs; management notes recurring Q2 seasonality and higher public company readiness costs in G&A .
  • Monetization still evolving: AI credits and consumption model integration are early; management is not strictly enforcing full‑seat limits yet and plans to transition customers to paid credits, creating near‑term revenue recognition uncertainty .

Management Commentary

  • “We achieved $250,000,000 of revenue…41% year over year growth…non GAAP operating margin of 5% and adjusted free cash flow margin of 24%.”
  • “You should expect to see significant investments in our AI efforts…we expect margins to come down in the near term as we invest in the long term.”
  • “We doubled our product portfolio…Figma Make, Figma Draw, Figma Sites, and Figma Buzz.”
  • “Our net dollar retention rate…was 129% in Q2…driven by seat expansion…along with renewals on our new pricing and packaging model.”
  • “We intend to complement the existing seat-based model with a consumption model…We also plan to provide annual guidance for operating income…as we expect timely opportunities to reinvest.”

Q&A Highlights

  • Monetization of new AI products: Near term, broader S&M pushes and inference investments; moving to AI credits and consumption, with intentional transition for customers to understand value/pricing .
  • Competitive differentiation: Make leverages design context and interoperability across the Figma platform to produce higher-quality outputs versus other “AI coding” tools .
  • Persona expansion: Make serves designers, developers, PMs, marketers; “lower the floor, raise the ceiling” to broaden participation while enabling higher fidelity work for professionals .
  • Use of cash and “big swings”: $1.6B liquidity supports AI/product investments; strict M&A framework (team/asset quality, cultural fit, top-priority alignment) for any large transactions .
  • Pricing/packaging outcomes: Multiproduct seat, admin approval, full-seat price change—management expects mid‑ to high‑single‑digit growth tailwind in FY25 .

Estimates Context

  • Q2 results beat consensus: revenue $249.64M vs $248.67M*, EPS $$0.09 vs $$0.08*. Street may raise near‑term revenue and EPS given demonstrated multi‑product engagement and retention metrics *. Values retrieved from S&P Global.
  • Q3 guidance midpoint is ~in line with consensus ($264.0M vs $263.90M*), but management flagged evolving monetization and AI cost dynamics; expect estimates to adjust as AI credit pricing/consumption ramps *. Values retrieved from S&P Global.

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Execution and platform expansion: Strong revenue growth, early traction in four new products, and high NDR support a durable growth profile despite AI‑driven margin pressure in the near term .
  • Monetization transition: Watch AI credits and emerging consumption model alongside seats—near‑term uncertainty but medium‑term ARPU and attach rate opportunities if engagement stays high .
  • Margin trajectory: Expect gross margin compression from AI inference; operating margin flexibility maintained given disciplined capital allocation and reinvestment focus .
  • Enterprise/customer mix: Rising counts of >$100k ARR customers (+42% y/y) indicate deeper enterprise adoption; admin control and pricing/packaging changes are tailwinds in 2H .
  • Liquidity and optionality: ~$1.6B cash/marketable securities plus a $500M revolver provide ample capacity for product investment and selective M&A aligned to top priorities .
  • Supply considerations: Early employee lock‑up release post‑Q2 and extended VC lock‑ups staged through mid‑2026; CEO 10b5‑1 plan starting November 2025—monitor share supply around earnings catalysts .
  • International growth: Localization (Korean, Brazilian Portuguese) and notable LatAm references (Itaú, Nubank) support a broader global thesis .
