Insights

CS Disco's Q4 2024 results reveal a complex narrative of modest growth coupled with concerning profitability trends. The 4% year-over-year revenue growth to $37.0 million and 5% software revenue growth to $30.8 million significantly trail the broader legal technology market's growth rate, suggesting potential market share erosion in a competitive landscape.

The dramatic widening of GAAP net loss to $25.2 million from $5.8 million year-over-year raises serious concerns about operational efficiency and cost management. While the company added 26 large customers (those contributing over $100,000 annually), the 335% increase in net loss suggests that customer acquisition costs may be unsustainably high.

The introduction of new features like Reproductions and document-level Bates numbering represents incremental rather than transformative innovation, potentially insufficient to drive significant revenue acceleration in a market demanding more advanced AI and automation capabilities. The 2025 guidance, projecting total revenue of $145.5-157.5 million with continued negative EBITDA of $(19.0)-$(15.0) million, indicates that profitability remains a distant goal.

Three critical challenges emerge from these results:

  • Decelerating growth despite increased spending, suggesting diminishing returns on sales and marketing investments
  • Widening losses without a clear path to profitability, raising questions about the sustainability of current operations
  • Product innovation that appears focused on incremental improvements rather than market-expanding capabilities

First Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Outlook

As of February 20, 2025, DISCO is issuing the following outlook for the first quarter of 2025 and fiscal year 2025:

First quarter of 2025:

  • Software revenue in the range of $30.1 million - $31.1 million.
  • Total revenue in the range of $35.0 million - $37.0 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $(8.0) million - $(6.0) million.

Fiscal year 2025:

  • Software revenue in the range of $124.0 million - $131.0 million.
  • Total revenue in the range of $145.5 million - $157.5 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $(19.0) million - $(15.0) million.

DISCO’s first quarter and fiscal year 2025 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.

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. DISCO expects the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on its future GAAP financial results.

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; restructuring charges; acquisition revaluation expense; expenses associated with stockholder litigation; impairment of intangible asset and capitalized development; and other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable. In the case of non-GAAP cost of revenue, non-GAAP gross profit and non-GAAP gross margin, DISCO adjusts the respective GAAP balances for stock-based compensation expense. In the case of 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, restructuring charges, and other one-time, non-recurring items, when applicable. In the case of non-GAAP general and administrative expense and non-GAAP general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue, DISCO adjusts the respective GAAP balances for stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, acquisition revaluation expense, and expenses associated with stockholder litigation. In the case of 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, restructuring charges, acquisition revaluation expense, expenses associated with stockholder litigation, impairment of intangible asset and capitalized development, 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.
