RingCentral Inc. has raised its 2025 free cash flow outlook to $520 million and expanded its AI-driven product suite. The company also announced the appointment of Vaibhav Agarwal as its new Chief Financial Officer, highlighting his nine-year tenure and instrumental role in scaling the business and increasing profitability.

The new CFO, Vaibhav Agarwal, has been a key leader at RingCentral for over nine years, previously serving as the company's Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Transformation Officer, and Deputy Chief Financial Officer. He played a critical role in RingCentral's financial transformation, including scaling the company from $400 million in revenue to a $2.6 billion run rate business while significantly increasing profitability [1].

RingCentral's latest financial results, reported for the second quarter of 2025, demonstrated robust performance with all key metrics meeting or exceeding guidance. The company achieved a 5% year-over-year increase in total revenue, reaching $320 million, and reported positive GAAP operating and net income for the first time in its history [1].

The company's AI-driven product suite, which includes Ring CX, Ring Sense, and AI receptionists, is already contributing to its growth. RingCentral is investing over $250 million annually in innovation, with a significant and growing share dedicated to AI. The company's focus on AI is evident in its strategic partnerships, including a multi-year extension of its partnership with NICE and an expansion of its relationship with AT&T [1].

Despite the strong financial performance, RingCentral's stock experienced a slight decline of 0.71% in after-hours trading following the earnings report. The stock closed at $23.79, moving away from its 52-week high of $42.19 but remaining above the 52-week low of $20.59 [1]. The decline in stock price may be attributed to broader market conditions or investor concerns beyond the earnings figures.

RingCentral's outlook remains positive, with the company maintaining its full-year subscription revenue guidance and raising its free cash flow outlook to $520 million. The company expects its new AI products to contribute an additional $100 million to annual recurring revenue (ARR) this year [1].
