MOUNTAIN VIEW, California - August 5, 2026 - LegalZoom (Nasdaq: LZ), America’s #1 online legal services company, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026.
"Since late 2024, we've deliberately repositioned LegalZoom around subscription relationships that pair AI with trusted human expertise," said Jeff Stibel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of LegalZoom. "That strategy is working. While demand for what we do is intact, discovery is moving. We have been actively building new customer acquisition channels for more than a year, and our outlook fully reflects today's environment, with no recovery in traditional search assumed. In the AI channels where discovery is heading, every visit is incremental. We've partnered with the leading AI companies, we have more brand references across AI platforms than any competitor, and we haven't assumed how quickly this scales. That's the upside we're positioned to capture."
"We're updating our revenue expectations based on recent changes in the customer acquisition environment, while our profitability outlook reflects the discipline of our operating model," said Noel Watson, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. "We continue to improve operating efficiency, expand margins and generate strong cash flow while investing behind the initiatives that support our long-term growth strategy."

Financial Guidance and Outlook
LegalZoom is updating its revenue outlook and Adjusted EBITDA outlook for the full year ending December 31, 2026 as follows:
- Revenue is expected to be in the range of $795 million to $805 million, or 6% year-over-year growth at the midpoint. This compares to the Company’s previous revenue outlook in the range of $810 million to $830 million, or 8% growth at the midpoint. LegalZoom’s outlook reflects the continued scaling of our higher-value growth initiatives and ongoing momentum from our partner channel, partially offset by a more cautious view of customer acquisition for the remainder of the year.
- Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $190 million to $195 million, reflecting 12% year-over-year growth at the midpoint, and a 24% margin. This compares to the Company’s previous Adjusted EBITDA outlook of $190 million to $200 million, or 13% year-over-year growth, and a 24% margin. LegalZoom’s outlook reflects disciplined cost management, ongoing gross margin improvement and the benefits from a 13% workforce reduction announced today.
For the third quarter ending September 30, 2026 LegalZoom expects:
- Revenue in the range of $192 million to $196 million, or 2% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $49 million to $51 million, an 8% year-over-year increase at the midpoint, and a 26% margin.

These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this press release, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
About Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income (loss) margin, Non-GAAP net income per share and free cash flow. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to better understand and evaluate our core operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide management and our investors with useful information about our financial performance and liquidity, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to important measures used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We also believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute or an alternative to, measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest income, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other expense (income), net, stock-based compensation and certain non-recurring income and expenses from time to time. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary performance measures used by our management and our board of directors to understand and evaluate our financial performance and operating trends, including period-to-period comparisons, preparing and approving our annual budget and operational planning. In assessing our performance, we exclude certain expenses that we believe are not comparable period over period or that we believe are not indicative of our underlying operating performance. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which include that Adjusted EBITDA:
- may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure;
- does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- excludes depreciation and amortization and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may be replaced in the future;
- does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
- excludes stock-based compensation expense, which has been, and will continue to be, a significant recurring expense for our business and an important part of our compensation strategy; and
- does not reflect certain expenses that we do not consider representative of our underlying operating performance, but that reduce cash available to us.
We define Non-GAAP net income as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and certain non-recurring income and expenses from time to time, net of related income tax impacts. We define net income (loss) margin as net loss as a percentage of revenue. We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) margin as Non-GAAP net income as a percentage of revenue. We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders as Non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by basic and diluted weighted-average common stock.
Free cash flow is a liquidity measure used by management in evaluating the cash generated by our operations after purchases of property and equipment including capitalized internal-use software. We believe free cash flow provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by our business that can be used for strategic opportunities, including investing in our business and strengthening our balance sheet, once our business needs and obligations are met. The usefulness of free cash flow as an analytical tool has limitations because it excludes certain items that are settled in cash, does not represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenses, does not reflect our future contractual commitments, and may be calculated differently by other companies in our industry.
We are not providing a reconciliation for our non-GAAP outlook on a forward-looking basis (including the information under “Financial Guidance and Outlook” above), as we are unable to provide a meaningful calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure that have not yet occurred, are out of LegalZoom’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
The tables in this press release contain more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.
