Q2 2027 Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call was broadly positive: Box reported revenue, billings, RPO and net retention improvements, beat guidance on top- and bottom-line results, raised full-year revenue guidance, generated strong cash flow, and highlighted accelerating Enterprise Advanced and AI adoption with meaningful product and partnership momentum. Headwinds include FX impacts, cloud capacity-driven margin pressure, early-stage AI consumption monetization, and quarter-to-quarter billings lumpiness, but management outlined clear product, go-to-market and governance investments to address these risks.Company Guidance
Revenue Growth Above Guidance
Q2 revenue of $321M, up 9% year-over-year (11% in constant currency), exceeded guidance and marked the fifth consecutive quarter of accelerating revenue growth in constant currency.
Strong Bookings, RPO and Billings Momentum

Improving Customer Metrics and Mix
Net retention rate improved to 106% (above guidance of 105% and up from 103% a year ago). Customers paying at least $100K annually grew 10% year-over-year. Suites customers represent 69% of revenue, up from 63% a year ago, indicating increased enterprise adoption and account expansion.
Profitability and Margins
Q2 non-GAAP operating income was $95M with an operating margin of 29.4% (90bps expansion year-over-year despite FX headwinds). Q2 gross margin was 81.2%, and Q2 EPS was $0.40, above guidance of $0.39.
