Total revenue was $805 milliona, up 11% year-over-year, and subscription revenue was $793 million, up 12%. Remaining performance obligations (RPO) were $4.858 billion, up 17%, and current RPO (cRPO) was $2.585 billion, up 14%. GAAP operating income was $107 million (13% of revenue) versus $41 million a year earlier, and GAAP net income was $116 million, or $0.65 per diluted share.
Non-GAAP operating income was $226 millionb (28% of revenue) and non-GAAP diluted EPS was $1.05 versus $0.91. Operating cash flow was $234 million and free cash flow was $227 million, or 28% of revenue. Management highlighted accelerating cRPO, success with its largest customers, and strong profitability and cash flow.
CFO Brett Tighe credited core workforce and customer identity for ACV acceleration and cited strong contributions from new products, led by Okta Identity Governance. The company settled the remaining $350 millionc principal of its 2026 convertible notes in cash during the quarter and ended the quarter with $2.299 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Repurchases of common stock were $372 million for the six months ended July 31, 2026.
For fiscal 2027, Okta now expects total revenue of $3.216 billion to $3.226 billiond (10% to 11% growth), non-GAAP operating income of $830 million to $840 million (26% margin), and non-GAAP free cash flow of $910 million to $930 million (28% to 29% margin). Guidance reflects roughly a one-percentage-point revenue growth headwind from accelerating the shift of professional services to partners, and roughly a one-point free cash flow impact from lower interest income tied to buybacks and the note settlement. For the third quarter, the company guides to revenue of $813 million to $817 million and non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.92 to $0.94.
