Last earnings call, Aug 5, 2026 AI summary

What they said
LegalZoom reported Q2 revenue of $205 million, up 7% year-over-year and in line with guidance, with adjusted EBITDA of $46 million (up ~18% YoY) beating the high end of guidance. Subscription revenue grew 11% to $133 million and now represents 65% of total revenue; ARPU increased ~5%. Management emphasized progress on higher-value, human-in-the-loop offerings (now ~40% of revenue) and continued investments in AI, channel diversification, brand, and partnerships. They disclosed a structural change in Google search (AI-generated answers replacing clicks) that materially reduced traditional search traffic and increased paid inventory costs; management incorporated this into updated guidance and intends to accelerate diversification into AI-native platforms, partnerships (GEO/AEO), and brand spend. The company implemented a 13% workforce reduction and expects CAM to step up a couple of points year-over-year as they invest in brand and partners. Management reiterated the durability provided by a subscription-heavy model but guided to near-term pressure on new customer acquisition and transactions, particularly in the back half of the year.
Guidance
Management indicated Q2 revenue was in line with guidance and adjusted EBITDA beat the high end. They guided to a high-single-digit to low-double-digit decline in transactions revenue in the back half of the year and signaled Q3 growth decelerating to low-single-digit. They built the recent structural Google search impact into their baseline guidance and are not assuming recovery or further degradation for the remainder of the year. CAM (marketing) is expected to step up a couple of percentage points year-over-year.
Risks flagged
A material structural shift in Google search toward AI-generated answers that reduces organic and paid click-throughs; rising paid inventory costs; concentration risk from dependence on Google historically; potential continued pressure on new customer acquisition and transactions; execution risk in accelerating channel diversification, brand investments, and partner performance; potential short-term headwinds from workforce reductions and reorganization.
