Announces acquisition of StackAI, expanding Asana’s cross-system workflow orchestration capabilities for human-agent teams

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Asana, Inc. (NYSE: ASAN)(LTSE: ASAN), the operating system for human-agent teams, today reported financial results for its first quarter fiscal 2027 ended April 30, 2026.

“Asana is the operating system for human-agent teams,” said Dan Rogers, Chief Executive Officer of Asana. “We believe the real enterprise productivity unlock from AI comes when humans and agents work together across the critical workflows that run the business. Customers are increasingly using AI Studio and AI Teammates to coordinate work faster, automate complex processes, and embed AI more deeply into their operations. The addition of StackAI strengthens our position as the operating system for human-agent teams by enabling customers to coordinate complex, cross-system workflows across humans and AI agents.”

“We exceeded the high end of our guided metrics and improved NRR for the fourth consecutive quarter,” said Aziz Megji, Chief Financial Officer of Asana. “The business continues to show improving fundamentals, supported by momentum in AI product adoption, customer expansion, and operating efficiency. The acquisition of StackAI further differentiates our operating system for human-agent teams and reinforces our confidence in Asana’s long-term growth and profitability potential.”

These statements are forward-looking and actual results may materially differ. Refer to the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below for information on the factors that could cause Asana’s actual results to materially differ from these forward-looking statements.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP outlook measures to corresponding GAAP measures is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, many of these costs and expenses that may be incurred in the future. Asana has provided a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the financial statement tables for its first quarter fiscal year 2027 non-GAAP results included in this press release.

Earnings Conference Call Information

Asana will hold a conference call and live webcast today to discuss these results at 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time. A live webcast and replay will be available on the Asana Investor Relations webpage at: https://investors.asana.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our financial and operational performance, expectations related to our market opportunity, the potential and impact of AI, the expected benefits of AI Studio and AI Teammates, including our expectations regarding revenue to be generated by AI Studio and AI Teammates, our ability to execute on our current strategies, including our acquisition of StackAI, our expectations regarding our acquisition of StackAI, including the potential benefits of the acquisition, our technology and brand position, expectations regarding product launches and capabilities, our growth and expansion opportunities, Asana’s outlook for the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2026 and the full fiscal year ending January 31, 2027, Asana’s outlook for the expected benefits of our offerings, and our market position. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Asana’s future financial or operating performance. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts and in some cases can be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “potential,” “may,” “will,” “goal,” or similar expressions and the negatives of those terms. However, not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including factors beyond Asana’s control, that may cause Asana’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties related to: Asana’s ability to achieve future growth and sustain its growth rate, Asana’s ability to attract and retain customers and increase sales to its customers, Asana’s ability to develop and release new products and services and to scale its platform, including the successful integration of AI, Asana’s ability to increase adoption of its platform through Asana’s self-service model, Asana’s ability to maintain and grow its relationships with strategic partners, the highly competitive and rapidly evolving market in which Asana participates, Asana’s international expansion strategies, and broader macroeconomic conditions. Further information on risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from forecasted results are included in Asana’s filings with the SEC, including Asana’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2026 and subsequent filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that Asana believes to be reasonable as of this date. Except as required by law, Asana assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement Asana’s consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, Asana utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures to assist in understanding and evaluating its core operating performance. In this release, Asana’s non-GAAP gross margin, operating income, operating income as a percentage of revenue, operating margin, net income, basic and diluted net income per share, adjusted free cash flow, and revenues adjusted for the impact of foreign currency are not presented in accordance with GAAP and are not intended to be used in lieu of GAAP presentations of results of operations. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of Asana’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures which can be found in the accompanying financial statements included with this press release.

Asana is presenting these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about its financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of Asana’s past performance and future prospects, facilitate period-to-period comparisons of operations against other companies in Asana’s industry, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by Asana’s management for financial and operational decision-making.

Asana believes the following adjustments and exclusions from its non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors and others in assessing Asana’s operating performance due to the following factors:

There are a number of limitations related to the use of non-GAAP financial measures as compared to GAAP financial measures, including that the non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, a significant recurring expense in Asana’s business and an important part of its compensation strategy.

In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures outlined above, Asana also uses the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted free cash flow, which is defined as free cash flow plus costs paid related to restructuring. Asana believes adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures and operational expenses, for investment in its business and to make acquisitions. Asana believes that adjusted free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures Asana’s ability to generate or use cash. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted free cash flow as compared to net cash from operating activities, including that adjusted free cash flow excludes capital expenditures, the benefits of which are realized in periods subsequent to those when expenditures are made.

Definitions of Business Metrics

Customers spending $5,000 or more on an annualized basis, or Core customers

We define customers spending $5,000 or more, which we also refer to as Core customers, as those organizations on a paid subscription plan that had $5,000 or more in annualized GAAP revenues in a given quarter, inclusive of discounts.

Customers spending $100,000 or more on an annualized basis

We define customers spending $100,000 or more as those organizations on a paid subscription plan that had $100,000 or more in annualized GAAP revenues in a given quarter, inclusive of discounts.

Dollar-based net retention rate

Asana’s reported dollar-based net retention rate equals the simple arithmetic average of its quarterly dollar-based net retention rate for the four quarters ending with the most recent fiscal quarter. Asana calculates its dollar-based net retention rate by comparing its revenues from the same set of customers in a given quarter, relative to the comparable prior-year period. To calculate Asana’s dollar-based net retention rate for a given quarter, Asana starts with the revenues in that quarter from customers that generated revenues in the same quarter of the prior year. Asana then divides that amount by the revenues attributable to that same group of customers in the prior-year quarter. Current period revenues include any upsells and are net of contraction or attrition over the trailing 12 months, but exclude revenues from new customers in the current period. Asana expects its dollar-based net retention rate to fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors, including the expected growth of its revenue base, the level of penetration within its customer base, its ability to retain its customers, and the macroeconomic environment.

We began excluding amortization of stock-based compensation capitalized in internal-use software from our non-GAAP measures starting in the quarter ended April 30, 2026 and have presented the change prospectively as prior period amounts were immaterial. The amounts of amortization of stock-based compensation capitalized in internal-use software was $1.1 million for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and was $0.6 million for the three months ended April 30. 2025. This change has no impact on our GAAP financial results.
