    • Revenue of $167.3 million for the quarter, an increase of 8% year-over-year
    • Subscription revenue of $104.5 million for the quarter, an increase of 14% year-over-year
    • $212.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and no debt outstanding as of September 30, 2023
    • Strong product velocity: launched a Business Licenses compliance product, accounting solution LZ Books, AI powered document summarization tool Doc Assist and a revamped Legal Forms library during and subsequent to the end of the third quarter

    MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Nov. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  LegalZoom.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:LZ), the No. 1 choice in online small business formations, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2023, including the following highlights:

    • Revenue was $167.3 million for the quarter, up 8% year-over-year:
      • Transaction revenue was $57.4 million, down 2% year-over-year. The decline was primarily driven by a 6% year-over-year reduction in average order value driven by our nationwide roll-out of free LLC formations beginning in the first quarter of 2023, partially offset by a 5% increase in transaction unit volume.
      • Subscription revenue was $104.5 million, up 14% year-over-year. The increase was driven by a 2% year-over-year increase in average revenue per subscription unit and the addition of 153 thousand net new subscription units added during the trailing twelve months.
      • Partner revenue was $5.5 million, flat year-over-year.
    • Gross margin was 65% for the quarter, compared to 68% in the same period in 2022, primarily driven by higher filing fees as a percentage of revenue due to an increase in business formation volumes associated with our nationwide roll-out of free LLC formations beginning in the first quarter of 2023.
    • Net income was $7.5 million for the quarter, or 5% of revenue, compared to net loss of $12.0 million or 8% of revenue, for the same period in 2022.
    • Adjusted EBITDA was $33.7 million for the quarter, or 20% of revenue, compared to $16.9 million, or 11% of revenue, for the same period in 2022.
    • Non-GAAP net income was $23.3 million for the quarter, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in 2022.
    • Cash and cash equivalents were $212.1 million as of September 30, 2023, compared to $189.1 million as of December 31, 2022.
    • Cash flow provided by operating activities was $27.4 million for the quarter compared to $27.3 million for the same period in 2022.
    • Free cash flow was $19.4 million for the quarter compared to $21.2 million for the same period in 2022.
    • Basic and diluted net income per share was $0.04 for the quarter compared to a basic and diluted net loss per share of $0.06 for the same period in 2022, and basic and diluted Non-GAAP net income per share was $0.12 for the quarter compared to basic and diluted Non-GAAP net income per share of $0.04 for the same period in 2022.
    • Launched new products during and subsequent to the end of the third quarter:
      • LZ Books, an online accounting solution that includes invoicing, payments and automated expense categorization, as well as seamless integration with LegalZoom's LZ Tax product.
      • Doc Assist, a free document summarization tool powered by generative AI which leverages LegalZoom's expertise in legal technology and provides users access to legal expertise from LegalZoom's attorney network.
      • Business Licenses, a compliance product built on a proprietary nationwide database that matches a small business profile with the licenses and permits required to operate the business.
      • A revamped Legal Forms library allowing users free access to over 160 attorney certified forms, with the ability to personalize the document or execute via LegalZoom's eSignature tool for a fee.

    "We had another strong quarter of financial performance, but equally important, we continue to demonstrate increased product velocity with the release of Business Licenses and the continued evolution of Legal Forms," said Dan Wernikoff, LegalZoom's Chief Executive Officer.

    Noel Watson, LegalZoom's Chief Financial Officer added, "Our third quarter results outperformed our expectations and reflect strong growth in business formations as well as strength in our subscriptions business. This, combined with our continued focus on profitability, drove third quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $33.7 million, double the prior-year period."

    This press release contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

    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 margin, Non-GAAP net income per share and Free cash flow. To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of our financial performance and liquidity and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide 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 are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a management view and because we 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.

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest income (expense), net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, other expense (income), net, stock-based compensation, impairment of goodwill, long-lived and other assets, legal expenses, restructuring expenses, transaction-related expenses and certain other non-recurring income and expenses from time to time. Our Adjusted EBITDA financial measure differs from GAAP in that it excludes certain items of income and expense. 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, prepare and approve our annual budget, develop short and long-term operational plans and determine appropriate compensation plans for our employees. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management team and board of directors. 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. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA rather than net income (loss), which is the nearest GAAP equivalent of Adjusted EBITDA. Some of these limitations include that the non-GAAP financial measure:

    • 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 other 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, certain transaction-related expenses, and certain other non-recurring income and expenses from time to time, net of related income tax impacts. Our Non-GAAP net income financial measure differs from GAAP in that it excludes certain items of income and expense. 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 (loss) 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. We believe Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Non-GAAP net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders are operating performance measures that provide investors and analysts with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business.

    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 consider Free cash flow to be an important measure because it 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, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. 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. Accordingly, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of other GAAP financial measures, such as net cash used in or provided by operating activities.

    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.
