Donnelley Financial Solutions Reports Record Software Sales and Strategic Shifts
Donnelley Financial Solutions reported record software solutions net sales of nearly $100 million in Q2 2026, driven by a 29% increase in ActiveDisclosure revenue. The company capitalized on strong capital markets activity to boost transactional revenue by 36%. It managed declining print and distribution sales through strategic exits from lower-margin work and adapting to regulatory changes reducing physical document demand. DFIN expanded adjusted EBITDA margins to a record high of 36.7% due to favorable shifts toward software solutions and disciplined cost management. The company also strengthened its leadership team and board, aiming to accelerate the transition to being more software-centric. It anticipates Q3 net sales between $175 million and $185 million, with continued momentum in software and transactional revenue. The SEC's proposed Regulation E-Delivery is expected to significantly impact the industry by 2028, accelerating migration away from print-based services. DFIN plans to leverage its digital capabilities during this transition.
