Workiva’s Q3 2025 Results Signal the Rise of “Assured Data Platforms” in the IRM Market

Workiva’s Q3 2025 results represent more than a financial beat—they reveal a strategic inflection point for the Integrated Risk Management (IRM) market. The company delivered total revenue of $224 million, up 21% year over year, with subscription and support revenue growing 23%. Its non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 12.7%, nearly tripling from the prior year. Just as significant, customers with annual contract value (ACV) above $500,000 rose 42%, confirming enterprise-scale adoption of Workiva’s unified disclosure and assurance platform.

This growth underscores a broader market movement toward “assured data platforms”—solutions that unify financial, sustainability, and risk reporting within one governed architecture. As ESG regulation, audit digitization, and AI assurance converge, Workiva’s performance signals what IRM leaders should expect across the next phase of market maturity.
