Record Quarter Caps a Billion-Dollar Year
Figma, Inc. (NYSE: FIG) closed fiscal year 2025 with full-year revenue of $1.056 billion, up 41% from $749 million in 2024, marking the company's first year as a publicly traded entity and its first crossing of the $1 billion revenue threshold. The fourth quarter alone contributed $303.8 million — the company's best quarter on record for net new revenue — surpassing analyst consensus and accelerating from prior-quarter growth rates.
On an adjusted (non-GAAP) basis, Figma reported earnings per share of $0.08 for Q4, beating the Street's expectation of $0.07. Non-GAAP operating income reached $44 million for the quarter, translating to a 14% non-GAAP operating margin. For the full year, non-GAAP operating income stood at $129.5 million.
"2025 was a massive year for Figma, and the fourth quarter was our best quarter yet," said co-founder and CEO Dylan Field. "Our accelerated revenue and customer growth going into 2026 reflect design's power and Figma's essential place at the center of the product development stack."

Net Dollar Retention Climbs to 136% on Platform Expansion
One of the most closely watched metrics for software companies, Net Dollar Retention Rate (NDR), rose to 136% in Q4 2025 — a meaningful uptick that signals existing customers are spending significantly more on Figma's expanding platform. The metric tracks expansion, contraction, and churn among paid customers with more than $10,000 in annualized recurring revenue.
Deferred revenue surged to $595.3 million at year-end, up from $381.4 million a year prior — a forward indicator of future recognized revenue. Accounts receivable climbed to $247.9 million from $131.3 million, reflecting the strength of enterprise deal flow in the quarter.CFO Praveer Melwani highlighted the health of Figma's financial engine: "Q4 was our best quarter for net new revenue on record, as platform-led adoption across our customer base — including enterprise and international — powered durable growth at scale. We closed the year with strong cash generation, with a 13% operating cash flow margin."

AI Product Figma Make Drives Usage Surge, Monetization Incoming
Figma Make, the company's AI-native tool that enables users to generate app prototypes from simple text prompts — powered by models from Anthropic and Google — emerged as a central growth driver in Q4. Weekly active users of Figma Make grew 70% quarter-over-quarter, with more than half of customers spending over $100,000 in ARR having employees using the tool on a weekly basis.Crucially, Figma managed this usage explosion while maintaining an adjusted gross margin of 86%, by optimizing its AI computing infrastructure and lowering per-user costs. The company recently announced a partnership with Anthropic to deepen its AI integration and is preparing to begin enforcing monthly AI credit limits in March 2026, shifting toward a usage-based and subscription monetization model for AI features.
The convergence of AI-driven design workflows and Figma's deeply embedded enterprise position positions the company to extract incremental revenue from a product set already seeing high organic engagement.

2026 Guidance Surpasses Consensus on All Key Metrics
Figma's forward outlook delivered a decisive upside surprise. For Q1 2026, management guided to $315–$317 million in revenue, implying approximately 38% year-over-year growth. The LSEG analyst consensus had projected just $292 million.
For the full year 2026, Figma targets $1.366–$1.374 billion in revenue, representing approximately 30% growth over fiscal 2025, alongside $100–$110 million in non-GAAP adjusted operating income. Wall Street's prior revenue consensus for 2026 stood at $1.29 billion — roughly $80 million below the company's own midpoint guidance.

GAAP Net Loss Reflects IPO-Year Stock-Based Compensation
On a GAAP basis, Figma recorded a net loss of $226.6 million in Q4, or $0.44 per share, compared to net income of $33.1 million in Q4 2024. For the full year, the GAAP net loss widened to $1.25 billion, driven primarily by $1.364 billion in stock-based compensation recognized following the company's July 2025 IPO, the vesting of long-standing RSU grants, and IPO-related costs.
Adjusting for these non-cash and one-time charges, full-year non-GAAP net income reached $166.8 million, up from $140.6 million in 2024, underscoring the underlying profitability of the business. Free Cash Flow for fiscal 2025 totaled $242.7 million, a dramatic reversal from the $(68.2) million recorded in 2024.

Enterprise Expansion and Strategic Partnerships Fuel Long-Term Growth
Beyond AI, Figma's enterprise go-to-market momentum remained intact. The company announced a strategic collaboration with ServiceNow (NOW) during the quarter to convert Figma designs directly into enterprise applications — a move that deepens Figma's position within large-organization product development pipelines.
Internationally and across the enterprise segment, customer growth continued to accelerate, with the number of paid customers generating more than $100,000 in ARR expanding at a healthy clip. Goodwill on the balance sheet rose to $101.4 million from $11.4 million, reflecting acquisition activity including Weavy Inc., which added collaborative inbox and notification capabilities to the Figma platform.

Market Reaction and Broader Context
Figma's FIG shares surged 15% in extended trading following the earnings release, a notable reversal after the stock had fallen approximately 35% year-to-date heading into the print, as broader software sector concerns over AI disruption weighed on valuations. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF had declined roughly 22% over the same period.
CEO Dylan Field acknowledged the competitive dynamics while expressing confidence in Figma's differentiated position: "If you look at software, not only is it not going away — there's going to be way more of it than ever before." The company's ability to simultaneously grow usage and protect margin in an AI-intensive environment provides a compelling case that design-layer platforms are resilient in the emerging agentic software landscape.
---
In summary, Figma closed fiscal 2025 as a billion-dollar-revenue company with an accelerating growth rate, a rising net dollar retention rate, and an AI product that is moving rapidly from a usage driver to a direct revenue contributor. With 2026 guidance that eclipses Street consensus by a substantial margin and free cash flow firmly positive, the company enters its first full year as a public company with operational momentum intact.---
