About Daily Journal

Daily Journal helps legal teams manage cases and court records. It publishes legal newspapers and websites for professionals in California. It also provides software for governments to process legal documents.

Software and Legal News

  • Case Management Systems: Browser-based tools for justice agencies to manage legal records; accounts for roughly 78% of revenue.
  • Electronic Services: Portals for attorneys and the public to file documents and pay traffic fines online.
  • Legal Publications: Printed and digital newspapers covering legal news in California and Arizona; accounts for roughly 22% of revenue.
  • Specialized Info Services: Targeted data and news for legal professionals and public notice advertising.

Growing Beyond the Border

  • Formed a wholly-owned subsidiary named Journal Technologies (Canada), Inc. in August 2022 to expand software operations.
  • Repaid $2 million of an investment margin loan during the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
  • Began working on four software installation projects in Australia through the Journal Technologies subsidiary.
  • Approved the sale of a building and related land in January 2026 to optimize assets.

How Does Daily Journal Stand Out?

The company serves justice agencies in 42 states and several international locations. It maintains a large portfolio of marketable securities concentrated in six companies to support its financial position.

Important Financial Facts

  • Revenue reached $19.5 million in Q1 2026, up 10.4% from $17.7 million in Q1 2025.
  • Net income fell to a loss of $8 million in Q1 2026, worsening 173.2% year-over-year.
  • Operating income hit $477,000 in Q1 2026, down 35.7% from $742,000 the previous year.
  • Journal Technologies generated $1.1 million in pretax income for Q1 2026, up 140% from Q1 2025.
  • Free cash flow dipped to negative $1.9 million in Q1 2026, worsening from positive $2.2 million in Q1 2025.

Bottom Line

Daily Journal has transitioned from a traditional publisher into a technology provider for government agencies. Its operations rely on long-term software contracts and its significant portfolio of corporate securities.
