Daily Journal Corporation Announces Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Results

Fiscal Year 2025 Achieves Annual Revenue of $87.7 Million,

Reflecting a 25% Increase Year Over Year

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – December 29, 2025 – Daily Journal Corporation (Nasdaq: DJCO), a publishing and technology company, today announced financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Total consolidated revenue for fiscal year 2025 was $87.7 million, representing a 25% increase from the $69.9 million reported in fiscal year 2024, driven primarily by growth at Journal Technologies.

“Fiscal year 2025 was an exceptional year for Daily Journal Corporation, highlighted by record revenue and continued momentum at Journal Technologies,” said Steven Myhill-Jones, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Daily Journal Corporation. “Journal Technologies delivered strong growth across consulting, e-filing and other public service fees, and recurring license and maintenance revenues, as we continued investing in modernization and implementation capacity. While some of this year’s profitability benefited from contract timing and revenue recognition dynamics, we remain focused on expanding recurring revenue, maintaining low churn, and building long-term client relationships. We also see a blue ocean opportunity in the courts and justice agency sector for a company that consistently raises the bar, and we believe we are well positioned to create durable value over time.”

● Journal Technologies reported revenue of $69.9 million for fiscal year 2025, marking a 32% increase over the $53.1 million recorded in fiscal year 2024.
