Dropbox Q1 2026 earnings summary
Complete event summary combining all related documents: earnings call transcript, report, and slide presentation.Executive summary
Q1 2026 revenue reached $629.5 million, up 0.8% year-over-year; excluding FormSwift, revenue grew 2% year-over-year, driven by growth in Individual plans and favorable FX, partially offset by reduced investment in FormSwift and its planned wind-down by end of 2026.
Paying users totaled 18.09 million, with ARPU rising to $141.18; sequential growth outperformed expectations, though year-over-year decline was mainly due to the FormSwift wind-down.
AI-powered Dash and Dropbox Protect products are gaining traction, with Dash engagement metrics showing strong repeat usage and continued expansion.
Net income for Q1 2026 was $114.5 million, down from $150.3 million in Q1 2025, reflecting higher cost of revenue and increased interest expense.
Free cash flow for Q1 2026 was $203.3 million, up from $153.7 million in Q1 2025, primarily due to higher cash from operations and lower cash outflows related to prior restructuring.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
