Workiva's new CFO scales company to $1B revenue after years as customer

Barbara Larson joined Workiva as EVP and CFO in January after using the company's financial reporting platform at previous employers including Workday and VMware. She brings over 20 years of financial leadership experience, most recently serving as CFO at SentinelOne. Workiva, which offers an AI-powered platform for governance, risk and compliance, reported $885 million in revenue for fiscal 2025, up 20% year-over-year. The company expects to reach $1 billion in revenue for fiscal 2026, with guidance between $1.036 billion and $1.040 billion. Larson emphasized the importance of reliable data for AI implementation, noting that fragmented systems accelerate wrong answers rather than insights. She's focused on driving AI adoption whilst maintaining profitability, having delivered 600 basis points of non-GAAP operating leverage alongside revenue growth in fiscal 2025.

Investment firm 13D initiates $4.49M stake in Workiva amid stock decline

13D Management LLC has initiated a $4.49 million stake in Workiva, acquiring 52,000 shares in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to an SEC filing. The investment represents 5.34% of the fund's $84.05 million in US equity assets. Workiva shares were trading at $61.93 as of 16 February 2026, down 32.55% over the past year. The decline has been driven by market concerns about AI disrupting software-as-a-service business models, pushing the stock to a 52-week low of $56.07. Despite the share price drop, Workiva reported strong fundamentals, with 2025 revenue reaching $885 million, up 20% year-on-year. The company projects revenue will hit $1 billion in 2026. The recent decline has brought Workiva's price-to-sales ratio down to approximately four, its lowest in a year.
