Dear Fellow Stockholders:

Workiva delivered strong financial results in 2023 for our stockholders, beating full year guidance on revenue and

operating margin. We delivered 20% subscription growth, improved operating margins, and achieved record cash flow.

Our performance was a direct result of our global team of talented and dedicated employees who continue to execute

on our strategy, take care of our customers and each other, and live by our company values.

Workiva set out to transform the world of financial reporting and disclosure. Today, we strive to fulfill our expanded

mission to power transparent reporting for a better world. We are a company of over 2,500 diverse and talented

professionals dedicated to amazing our customers and making a positive impact every day. Our company values and

leadership principles inspire everything we do—from how we build our software and secure our customers to how we

treat our employees, foster a culture of innovation, and positively impact our world.

As the regulatory environment continues to grow in scope and complexity, so does the need for transparency and

disclosure of financial and sustainability data. We deliver a unified platform offering financial and non-financial investor-

grade business reporting that is a unique and key differentiator that separates us from the competition. We shine where

data consistency, data integrity, and data accuracy are critical and narrative is required. We remain bullish on our future

opportunities as we continue to address the large global reporting market that we see before us.

Accordingly, on behalf of the Board of Directors and our leadership team, I’d like to invite you to attend the 2024

Workiva Inc. Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The meeting will be held virtually via live webcast on Thursday, May 30,

2024, at 9:00 a.m. (Central Time).

All Workiva stockholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2024, are welcome to attend the Annual Meeting,

but it is important that your shares are represented at the Annual Meeting whether or not you plan to attend. To ensure

that you will be represented, we ask you to vote by telephone, by mail or over the Internet as soon as possible.
