What an earnings report is: every 3 months, a company tells everyone how much it sold and earned. We read the figures, the outlook, and how the stock moved after.
Sales of $195.1M, 3% more than a year ago; a profit of $0.05 a share, from $0.02.
“LegalZoom’s outlook continues to reflect the scaling of its higher-value growth initiatives and ongoing momentum from its partner channel, partially offset by continued pressure in customer acquisition for the remainder of the year.”
LZ's results filing gives no sales by line in a table we read.
| Measure | Figure |
|---|---|
| Adjusted EBITDA | $180M to $185M |
“Compared to the previous outlook, more than half of the change reflects continued investment in channel diversification, including partnerships, affiliates and AI channels, approximately one quarter reflects higher costs in paid customer acquisition channels, and the remainder reflects investment in higher-value expert services, as well as seasonal investment in sales capabilities ahead of the first quarter peak in business formations.”
