Dear Fellow Stockholders:

Fiscal 2024 was another strong year for Workiva and I am very proud of our team'sexecution. We achieved 20% year-over-year

subscription revenue growth, improved operating margins, and generated record cash flow. A healthy balance of new logo growth

and solution expansion with existing customers speaks to the significant opportunity ahead of us. We now have a global customer

base of over 6,300 organizations that trust Workiva with their most sensitive data.

With the shifting technology landscape around AI, an evolving regulatory environment, and continued pressure to realize operational

efficiencies, business leaders increasingly turn to Workiva as the trusted platform for transparency and disclosure of financial and

non-financial data. We deliver a unified platform offering financial and non-financial investor-grade business reporting, which 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.

We are a company of over 2,800 diverse and talented professionals dedicated to amazing our customers and making a positive

daily impact. Our company values and leadership principles inspire everything we do—from how we build our software and secure

ourcustomers' data to how we treat our employees and foster a culture of innovation.

Accordingly, on behalf of the Board of Directors and our leadership team, I’d like to invite you to attend the 2025 Workiva Inc. Annual
