"We are pleased with our strong second-quarter results, which reflect continued momentum in our operating performance, as we delivered the third consecutive quarter of consolidated net sales growth, an increase in Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. Total net sales increased by 2.8% from the second quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a rebound in capital markets transactional activity as well as continued growth of our software solutions, despite a moderate decline in traditional compliance revenue, part of which was related to lower print and distribution revenue. The growth in higher-margin capital markets transactional and software solutions net sales, along with the impact of permanent changes to our cost structure and ongoing operating efficiencies, expanded second-quarter Adjusted EBITDA margin to 36.7%, an increase of approximately 170 basis points year-over-year. Additionally, improved profitability combined with lower capital expenditures resulted in strong improvements in both operating cash flow and free cash flow," said Daniel N. Leib, DFIN's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Leib continued, "During the second quarter, we continued to execute our strategy to expand the adoption of our software solutions offerings. We delivered record quarterly software solutions net sales of $99.4 million, an increase of 7.8% compared to the second quarter of 2025, driven by the continued momentum in ActiveDisclosure, a component of our compliance offerings, which grew approximately 29%. Venue delivered strong sequential net sales improvement, which resulted in modest year-over-year growth despite overlapping a large project which benefited last year's second-quarter sales. Software solutions net sales made up 44.3% of second-quarter 2026 total net sales, an increase from 42.3% of last year's second-quarter sales mix. In addition, the capital markets transactional environment remained active during the second quarter, despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility, resulting in better-than-expected transactional revenue."

"Our second-quarter performance, including the momentum of our top- and bottom-line results, highlights the progress we are making in our transformation. Our strategy and focus have resulted in DFIN being fundamentally and sustainably more profitable, as we continue to invest to achieve a more recurring sales mix, while aggressively managing our cost structure and being disciplined stewards of capital. While the macroeconomic outlook remains uncertain, the combination of our market position, cost structure, and strong balance sheet positions us well heading into the back half of the year," Leib concluded.

Net Sales

Net sales in the second quarter of 2026 were $224.2 million, an increase of $6.1 million, or 2.8%, from the second quarter of 2025. Net sales increased primarily due to higher capital markets transactional volumes and growth in software solutions net sales, primarily driven by ActiveDisclosure, partially offset by lower capital markets and investment companies traditional compliance revenue, part of which is related to lower print and distribution volumes.

Net Earnings

For the second quarter of 2026, net earnings were $36.4 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, as compared to $36.1 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2026 included after-tax charges of $8.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, primarily related to share-based compensation expense and restructuring, impairment and other charges, net. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2025 included after-tax charges of $6.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, primarily related to share-based compensation expense and restructuring, impairment and other charges, net.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Non-GAAP Net Earnings

For the second quarter of 2026, Adjusted EBITDA was $82.3 million, an increase of $6.0 million as compared to the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 36.7%, up approximately 170 basis points from the second quarter of 2025. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to higher net sales, a favorable sales mix driven by the growth in higher-margin software solutions and tech-enabled services net sales, and cost control initiatives, partially offset by higher selling expense as a result of the increase in sales volumes.

For the second quarter of 2026, adjusted non-GAAP net earnings were $44.5 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, as compared to $42.1 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Information

This news release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, adjusted non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), adjusted non- GAAP income from operations, adjusted non-GAAP operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted non-GAAP net earnings, adjusted non-GAAP earnings per diluted share, Free Cash Flow and organic net sales. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information about the Company's operating results and liquidity and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company's financial performance. The Company uses these measures, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business.

The Company's non-GAAP statement of operations measures, which include non-GAAP gross profit, adjusted non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A, adjusted non-GAAP income from operations, adjusted non- GAAP operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted non-GAAP net earnings and adjusted non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share, are adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of expenses associated with the Company's pension plan settlement charge, non-income tax, net, accelerated rent (benefit) expense, share-based compensation expense and eliminate potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures, taxation positions or regimes, restructuring, impairment and other charges, net and gain or loss on certain investments, business sales and asset sales.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. By adjusting for the level of capital investment in operations, the Company believes that free cash flow can provide useful additional basis for understanding the Company's ability to generate cash after capital investment and provides a comparison to peers with differing capital intensity.

Organic net sales is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as reported net sales adjusted for the changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of dispositions.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures are defined differently by different companies in our industry and, accordingly, such measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

Use of Forward-Looking Statements

This news release includes certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of, and subject to the safe harbor created by, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the business, strategy and plans of DFIN and its expectations relating to future financial condition and performance.

Words such as "believes," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "intends," "aims," "potential," "will," "would," "could," "considered," "likely," "estimate" and variations of these words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. While DFIN believes these expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond DFIN's control. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur. Actual results may differ materially from DFIN's current expectations depending upon a number of factors affecting the business and risks associated with the performance of the business. These factors include such risks and uncertainties detailed in DFIN periodic public filings with the SEC, including but not limited to those discussed under "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of DFIN's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, those discussed under "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in DFIN's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in other investor communications of DFIN's from time to time. DFIN does not undertake to and specifically declines any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

__________

(a)

The Company has a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"). The Revolving Facility is subject to a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, both as defined and calculated in the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2026, there were $96.5 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility as well as $1.4 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, all of which reduced the availability under the Revolving Facility. Based on the Company's results of operations for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026 and existing debt, the Company would have had the ability to utilize the remaining $202.1 million of the $300.0 million Revolving Facility and not have been in violation of the terms of the Revolving Facility agreement.
