LegalZoom cuts 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook; keeps revenue midpoint at $800 million

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 guidance

LegalZoom reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $195.1 million, up 3% year-over-year, and net income of $8.1 million, up from $4.5 million a year earlier. It lowered its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to $180 million to $185 million from $190 million to $195 million, while keeping the $800 million revenue midpoint and narrowing the range to $797 million to $803 million. The company cited a challenging customer acquisition environment and continued investment, which matters to shareholders because it reduces expected profitability for the year.
