NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which statements involve substantial risk and uncertainties. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, market growth and trends, and objectives for future operations, and the impact of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (the “COVID-19 pandemic”) on our financial conditions and results of operations are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, statements about:
▪ our ability to effectively sustain and manage our growth and future expenses, and our ability to achieve and maintain future profitability;
▪ our expectations regarding the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our business, the businesses of our customers, partners and suppliers, and the economy;
▪ our ability to attract new customers and to maintain and expand our existing customer base;
▪ our ability to scale and update our software suite to respond to customers’ needs and rapid technological change;
▪ the effects of increased competition on our market and our ability to compete effectively;
▪ our ability to expand use cases within existing customers and vertical solutions;
▪ our ability to expand our operations and increase adoption of our software suite internationally;
▪ our ability to strengthen and foster our relationship with developers;
▪ our ability to expand our direct sales force, customer success team and strategic partnerships around the world;
▪ our ability to identify targets for and execute potential acquisitions;
▪ our ability to successfully integrate the operations of businesses we may acquire, or to realize the anticipated benefits of such acquisitions;
▪ our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our brand;
▪ the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to satisfy our liquidity needs;
▪ our failure or the failure of our software suite of services to comply with applicable industry standards, laws and regulations;
▪ our ability to maintain, protect and enhance our intellectual property;
▪ our ability to successfully defend litigation against us;
▪ our ability to attract large organizations as users;
▪ our ability to maintain our corporate culture;
▪ our ability to offer high-quality customer support;
▪ our ability to hire, retain and motivate qualified personnel;
▪ our ability to estimate the size and potential growth of our target market; and
▪ our ability to maintain proper and effective internal controls.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, including risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Many risks and uncertainties are currently elevated by, and may or will continue to be elevated by, the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We cannot assure you that the results, events, and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur, and actual results, events, or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
DocuSign, Inc. | 2022 Form 10Q | 3
The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which such statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to conform such statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Description of Business
DocuSign, Inc. (“we,” “our” or “us”) was incorporated in the State of Washington in April 2003. We merged with and into DocuSign, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in March 2015.
We provide a platform that enables businesses of all sizes to digitally prepare, sign, act on and manage agreements, thereby simplifying and accelerating the process of doing business.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include those of DocuSign, Inc. and our subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Therefore, these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our fiscal 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on a basis consistent with that used to prepare the audited annual consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2021 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending January 31, 2022 .
O ur fiscal year ends on January 3 1. References to fiscal 2022, for example, are to the fiscal year ending January 31, 2022 .
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions made by management include, but are not limited to, the determination of:
• the average period of benefit associated with deferred contract acquisition costs and fulfillment costs;
• the valuation of strategic investments;
• the fair value of certain stock awards issued;
• the f air value of the liability and equity components of convertible notes;
• the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets;
• the discount rate used for operating leases; and
• the recognition, measurement and valuation of deferred income taxes.
Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, we have undertaken measures to protect our employees, partners and customers, including providing the majority of our employees the option to work remotely until at least January 10, 2022. However, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective, that we will be able to adopt new measures as needed or that we will be able to discontinue these measures without adversely affecting our business operations. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic and related recent developments (including vaccine deployments, national and regional outbreaks and the emergence of disease variants) have created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in global financial markets, which may decrease technology spending, depress demand for our products and harm our business and results of operations. As of the date of issuance of the financial statements, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require us to update our estimates or judgments or revise the carrying value of our assets or liabilities, except for a sublease that resulted in an impairment of $ 3.9 million on operating lease right-of-use assets recorded during the three months ended July 31, 2021. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, which could be recognized in the
DocuSign, Inc. | 2022 Form 10Q | 12
condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.
Significant Accounting Policies
Other than as described below, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our fiscal 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Convertible Debt
Effective February 1, 2021, we account for our convertible debt instruments as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. See “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” below. At issuance, the carrying amount is calculated as the proceeds, net of initial purchasers’ discounts and transaction costs. The difference between the principal amount and carrying value is amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible debt instruments using the effective interest rate method.
At settlement, the carrying amount of the liability is derecognized and the excess of the cash consideration, if any, over the carrying amount is recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
Refer to Note 1 of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our convertible debt policy prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On February 1, 2021, we early adopted ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) using the modified retrospective approach. This ASU removes separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. Such convertible debt is accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost and convertible preferred stock will be accounted for as a single equity instrument measured at its historical cost, as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. The ASU also requires the if-converted method to be used for convertible instruments and the effect of potential share settlement be included in the diluted earnings per share calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The adoption of the ASU using the modified retrospective method resulted in:
• an increase of $ 77.3 million to the total carrying value of our convertible senior notes to reflect the full principal amount of the convertible notes outstanding net of issuance costs,
• reductions of $ 86.1 million to additional paid-in capital and $ 3.4 million to mezzanine equity to remove the equity component separately recorded for the conversion features associated with the convertible notes, and
• a cumulative-effect adjustment of $ 12.2 million to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit as of February 1, 2021.
Note 2. Revenue
Subscription revenue is recognized over time and accounted for approximately 97 % and 96 % of our revenue for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020 and approximately 97 % and 95 % of our revenue for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020.
Performance Obligations
As of October 31, 2021, the amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts greater than one year was $ 1.5 billion. We expect to recognize 52 % of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations within the 12 months following October 31, 2021 in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Contract Balances
Contract assets represent amounts for which we have recognized revenue, pursuant to our revenue recognition policy, for contracts that have not yet been fully invoiced to our customers where there remains a performance obligation, typically for our multi-year arrangements. Total contract assets were $ 15.0 million and $ 17.5 million as of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, of which $ 0.3 million and $ 0.6 million were noncurrent and included within “Other assets—noncurrent” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in contract assets reflects the difference in timing between the satisfaction of our remaining performance obligations and our contractual right to bill our customers.
DocuSign, Inc. | 2022 Form 10Q | 13
Contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue and include payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Such amounts are generally recognized as revenue over the contractual period. For the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenue of $ 730.7 million and $ 463.1 million that was included in the corresponding contract liability balance at the beginning of the periods presented.
We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules. We record accounts receivable when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 30 days.
Geographic Information
Revenue by geography is based on the address of the customer as specified in our master subscription agreements with our customers. Revenue by geographic area was as follows:

(2) Included in “cash and cash equivalents” in our consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2021, in addition to cash of $ 281.7 million.
We use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets to determine the fair value of our Level 1 investments. The fair value of our Level 2 investments is determined using pricing based on quoted market prices or alternative market observable inputs . The fair value of our Level 3 investments is determined based on an income approach using unobservable inputs.
The fair value of our available-for-sale securities as of October 31, 2021, by remaining contractual maturities, were as follows (in thousands):
Due in one year or less $ 320,571
Due in one to two years 89,455
$ 410,026
DocuSign, Inc. | 2022 Form 10Q | 15
As of October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, securities in an unrealized loss position were, individually and in aggregate, not material. An allowance for credit losses was deemed unnecessary for these securities, given the extent of the unrealized loss positions as well the issuers' high credit ratings and consistent payment history.
Strategic Investments
During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values increased by $ 4.8 million due to adjustments related to observable price changes that occurred primarily during the three months ended April 30, 2021. Such investments are recorded in “Other assets—noncurrent” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Convertible Senior Notes
We estimated the fair value of the convertible senior notes based on the quoted market prices in an inactive market on the last trading day of the reporting period (Level 2). The Notes are recorded at face value less unamortized debt discount and transaction costs as “Convertible senior notes—current” and “Convertible senior notes, net—noncurrent” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 6 for further information.

Note 6. Debt
Convertible Senior Notes
In September 2018 we issued $ 575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 0.5 % Convertible Senior Notes due in 2023 (“2023 Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2023 Notes were $ 560.8 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and transaction costs. Based upon the reported sales price of our common stock, the 2023 Notes became convertible on August 1, 2020 and continue to be convertible through October 31, 2021.
In January 2021 we issued $ 690.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 0 % Convertible Senior Notes due in 2024 (“2024 Notes,” and together with the 2023 Notes, the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2024 Notes were $ 677.3 million after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and transaction costs. As of October 31, 2021, the conversion conditions for the 2024 Notes described in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K were not met.
Conversions of the 2023 Notes
We accounted for early conversions and settlements of the 2023 Notes during the nine months ended October 31, 2021 under ASU 2020-06. Refer to Note 1 for further discussion of early adoption.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, we settled $ 64.8 million aggregate amount of the principal of 2023 Notes, including $ 23.9 million elected for conversion as of January 31, 2021, for aggregate consideration of $ 207.3 million, consisting of $ 64.8 million in cash and 0.6 million shares of our common stock with a value of $ 142.5 million. The $ 0.8 million excess of the cash consideration over the corresponding carrying value was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
Additionally, as of October 31, 2021, we had received conversion notices on our 2023 Notes for $ 11.6 million in aggregate principal amount, the corresponding carrying value is reflected in Convertible senior notes—current on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. From November 1, 2021 through December 3, 2021, we received conversion notices on our 2023 Notes for $ 1.5 million in aggregate principal amount. We plan to settle the principal amount in cash during the three months ended January 31, 2022.

Capped Calls
To minimize the potential economic dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the Notes, we entered into privately-negotiated capped call transactions (“Capped Calls”) with certain counterparties.
The material terms of the capped call transactions were as follows:
(in thousands, except per share amounts) 2023 Notes 2024 Notes

DocuSign, Inc. | 2022 Form 10Q | 18
Impact on Loss Per Share
After February 1, 2021, upon adoption of ASU 2020-06, in periods when we have net income, the shares of our common stock subject to the Notes outstanding during the period are included in our diluted earnings per share under the if-converted method. As of the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2021, share settlement was presumed, and shares subject to the Notes would have been included under the if-converted method. In periods prior to that, cash settlement was presumed and shares subject to the Notes would have been included under the treasury stock method. Capped Calls are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share, as they would be antidilutive.
Upon conversion, there will be no economic dilution from the Notes unless the market price of our common stock exceeds the cap prices listed above in the Capped Calls section, as exercise of the Capped Calls offsets any dilution from the Notes from the conversion price up to the cap price. As of October 31, 2021, the market price of our common stock exceeded the $ 110.00 per share cap price associated with the 2023 Notes but not the $ 525.30 cap price associated with the 2024 Notes; therefore, the 2023 Notes would have caused economic dilution if converted.
Revolving Credit Facility
In January 2021, we entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks. The credit agreement extended a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to us in an aggregate principal amount of $ 500.0 million, which amount may be increased by an additional $ 250.0 million subject to the terms of the credit agreement. We may use the proceeds of future borrowings under the credit facility to finance working capital, for capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions.
The Credit Facility matures in January 2026 and requires us to comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants. We were in compliance with all covenants as of October 31, 2021. As of October 31, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is subject to customary fees for loan facilities of this type, including ongoing commitment fees at a rate between 0.25 % and 0.30 % per annum on the daily undrawn balance.
Note 7 . Commitments and Contingencies
As of October 31, 2021, we had outstanding unused letters of credit associated with our various operating leases totaling $ 7.3 million.
We have entered into certain noncancellable contractual arrangements that require future purchases of goods and services. These arrangements primarily relate to cloud infrastructure support and sales and marketing activities. As of October 31, 2021, the future noncancellable minimum payments due under these contractual obligations with a remaining term of more than one year were as follows:

Indemnification
We enter into indemnification provisions under our agreements with customers and other companies in the ordinary course of business, including business partners, contractors and parties performing our research and development. Pursuant to these arrangements, we agree to indemnify and defend the indemnified party for certain claims and related losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party from actual or threatened third-party claims because of our activities. The duration of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification clauses or agreements is not determinable. Historically, we have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the fair value of these indemnification agreements is not material as of October 31, 2021, and January 31, 2021. We maintain commercial general liability insurance and product liability insurance to offset certain of our potential liabilities under these indemnification agreements.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors, executive officers and certain other officers. These agreements require us to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, for certain liabilities to which they may become subject as a result of their affiliation with us.
Claims and Litigation
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation made against us in the ordinary course of business. We believe the final outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 8. Stockholders' Equity
Equity Incentive Plans
We maintain three stock-based compensation plans: the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”), the Amended and Restated 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Plan (the “2003 Plan”).
As of October 31, 2021, 42.0 million shares of our common stock were available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at a discounted price, normally through payroll deductions, subject to the terms of the ESPP and applicable law. As of October 31, 2021, 8.0 million shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance under the ESPP.
Compensation expense related to the ESPP was $ 4.8 million and $ 3.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, and $ 13.9 million and $ 8.2 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020.

Note 10 . Income Taxes
Our tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter, we update our estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if our estimated tax rate changes, we make a cumulative adjustment. There were no material discrete items in the quarter.
DocuSign, Inc. | 2022 Form 10Q | 21
Our income tax benefit was $ 0.1 million and income tax provision was $ 1.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020. Our income tax provision was $ 2.0 million and $ 4.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020.
We review the likelihood that we will realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets and, therefore, the need for valuation allowances, on a quarterly basis. We maintain a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets, including all U.S. consolidated group deferred tax assets and certain foreign deferred tax assets as a result of our history of losses in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions, and the variability and uncertainty of our operating results. In the event we determine our deferred tax assets are realizable based on our assessment of relevant factors, an adjustment to the valuation allowance may increase income in the period such determination is made.
As of October 31, 2021, our gross unrecognized tax benefits totaled $ 45.6 million, excluding related accrued interest and penalties, of which $ 15.1 million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. Our policy is to account for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax provision. We do not expect to have any significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.
We are subject to taxation in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Our tax years from inception in 2003 through October 31, 2021 remain subject to examination by U.S. and California taxing authorities, as well as taxing authorities in various other state and foreign jurisdictions. We are under examination by the Israel Tax Authority for tax years 2016 through 2019. We are not under examination in any other material jurisdiction. We believe that adequate amounts have been reserved in all jurisdictions.
