Key Points Box exceeded Q2 fiscal 2027 expectations: Revenue rose 9% year over year to $321 million, while non-GAAP operating margin reached 29.4% and EPS was $0.40, both ahead of guidance. Enterprise Advanced and AI adoption strengthened growth: Billings increased 17%, net retention improved to 106%, and customers are increasingly using Box for secure, governed AI workflows, legacy migrations and agent integrations. Full-year revenue guidance was raised: Box now expects fiscal 2027 revenue of approximately $1.29 billion, or 10% year-over-year growth, alongside continued momentum in cash flow, subscriptions and share repurchases.

Box reported second-quarter fiscal 2027 results that exceeded its guidance, citing record bookings, accelerating adoption of its Enterprise Advanced offering and increased demand for AI-driven content workflows. Revenue for the quarter totaled $321 million, up 9% year over year, or 11% in constant currency. The company posted non-GAAP operating income of $95 million and an operating margin of 29.4%, above its 28.5% guidance. Non-GAAP earnings per share were $0.40, compared with guidance of $0.39.

“Box delivered exceptional second quarter results, continuing the strong momentum we saw in Q1 and led by the rapid customer adoption of Enterprise Advanced,” Co-Founder and CEO Aaron Levie said. Bookings, Retention and Cash Flow Strengthen Second-quarter billings rose 17% year over year to $310 million, exceeding management’s expectation for low-double-digit growth. Remaining performance obligations increased 15% from a year earlier to $1.7 billion, or 17% in constant currency. Box said it expects to recognize roughly 55% of RPO over the next 12 months.

Net retention rose to 106%, compared with 103% in the prior-year period and above the company’s 105% target. CFO Dylan Smith attributed the improvement to seat expansion and strong retention within the Enterprise Advanced customer base. Annualized full churn remained 3%.
