Total Revenue of $43.1 Million, A Year Over Year Increase of 13% CS Disco, Inc. (“DISCO”) (NYSE: LAW) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2026. “This was another strong quarter for DISCO as we continue to deepen our relationships with our largest customers, secure large and complex matters and extend our lead in AI built specifically for litigators," said Eric Friedrichsen, CEO of DISCO. "We are also excited to announce our new unified litigation solution that will move DISCO well beyond traditional ediscovery and into delivering full-stack litigation capabilities unlike anything else on the market." Second Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights: Software revenue was $36.8 million, up 13% compared to the second quarter of 2025.Total revenue was $43.1 million, up 13% compared to the second quarter of 2025.GAAP net loss was $8.7 million, compared to $10.8 million in the second quarter of 2025.Adjusted EBITDA was $(3.4) million, compared to $(2.7) million in the second quarter of 2025. Recent Business Highlights: Director Appointment: DISCO welcomed longtime information security expert and former Meta senior executive, Andre Mintz, to the Board of Directors in July 2026.Large Customers: DISCO grew to 354 customers with revenue in excess of $100,000 over the previous 12-month period as of June 30, 2026, a 10% increase compared to June 30, 2025.Unified Litigation Solution: DISCO announced the launch of a new unified litigation solution that combines the facts of a matter with the relevant U.S. case law to give litigators instant access to their most critical information in a single, powerful AI-native application. Third Quarter and Full Year 2026 Financial Outlook As of August 5, 2026, DISCO is issuing the following outlook for the third quarter of 2026 and fiscal year 2026: Third quarter of 2026: Software revenue in the range of $38.1 million - $39.1 million.Total revenue in the range of $43.75 million - $45.75 million.Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $(1.75) million - $(0.25) million. Fiscal year 2026: Software revenue in the range of $147.5 million - $152.5 million.Total revenue in the range of $172.0 million - $179.0 million.Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $(8.0) million - $(5.0) million. DISCO’s third quarter and fiscal year 2026 financial outlook is based on assumptions that are subject to change, many of which are outside of its control. If actual results vary from these assumptions, these expectations may change. There can be no assurance that DISCO will achieve these results. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is not available without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from this non-GAAP measure; in particular, the effects of stock-based compensation expense specific to equity compensation awards that are directly impacted by unpredictable fluctuations in DISCO’s stock price and expenses associated with the stockholder litigation. DISCO expects the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

References to “DISCO,” the “Company,” “our” or “we” in this press release refer to CS Disco, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures DISCO uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin; non-GAAP cost of revenue; non-GAAP gross profit; non-GAAP gross margin; non-GAAP research and development expense; non-GAAP research and development expense as a percentage of revenue; non-GAAP sales and marketing expense; non-GAAP sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue; non-GAAP general and administrative expense; non-GAAP general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue; non-GAAP loss from operations; non-GAAP operating margin; non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders, non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders per share (basic and diluted) and non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders as a percentage of revenue. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful measures of operating performance because they exclude items that DISCO does not consider indicative of its core performance. In the case of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, DISCO adjusts net loss for such items as depreciation and amortization expense; income tax provision; interest and other, net; stock-based compensation expense; payroll tax expense on employee stock transactions; expenses associated with stockholder litigation; and other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable. In the case of non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP research and development expense, non-GAAP research and development expense as a percentage of revenue, non-GAAP sales and marketing expense and non-GAAP sales and marketing expense as a percentage of revenue, DISCO adjusts the respective GAAP balances for stock-based compensation expense, and other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable. In the case of non-GAAP general and administrative expense, non-GAAP general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders, non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders per share (basic and diluted) and non-GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders as a percentage of revenue, DISCO adjusts the respective GAAP balances for stock-based compensation expense, expenses associated with stockholder litigation, and other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable. There are limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, do not reflect a comprehensive system of accounting and may not be completely comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies due to potential differences in the exact method of calculation between companies. Certain items that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures can have a material impact on operating loss and net loss. As a result, these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, the closest GAAP measures, or other financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. DISCO's management uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance; to prepare DISCO's annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of DISCO's business; to evaluate the effectiveness of DISCO's business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of DISCO's results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communication with DISCO’s board of directors concerning financial performance.
