Software revenue and adjusted EBITDA represents an increase of 1 million $2 5 million and $1 5 million respectively. At the midpoint from our guidance last quarter now I would like to turn the call over to the operator to open up the line for Q&A operator.

Again to ask a question simply press star followed by the number one on your telephone keypad and we'll pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster.
Speaker #4: Our fiscal year 2025 guidance for total revenue software revenue and adjusted EBITDA represents an increase of 1 million to 2.5 million and 1.5 million respectively at the midpoint from our guidance last quarter.
Our first question comes from the line of D. J Hynes with Canaccord Genuity. Please go ahead.
Okay.
Congrats on the quarter.
So I know there's been this push for with you in every case and sort of raising the awareness around the holistic offering to the platform and service capabilities.
Speaker #4: Now I'd like to turn the call over to the operator to open up the line for Q&A. Operator?
Are you thinking of services and.
Speaker #1: Again, to ask a estion, simply press star followed by the number one on our telephone keypad. We will pause for just a moment to compile the Q&A roster.
Kind of working with clients is like a tip of the sphere for new customer acquisition or more expansion within the existing restaurants.
Speaker #1: Our first question comes from the line of DJ Hines with Canaccourt Genuity. Please go head.
Yeah. Thanks T. J, let me tell you how I think about services, we're more specifically with you in every case because with every case is really about being able to support our customers with whatever they need for their largest and most complex cases.
Speaker #5: I think that's in the quarter. So I ow that there's been this push for the with you in every case and a sort of raising this awareness around, you know, the holistic offerings of the platform and service capabilities.
And when we really dug in and met with our customers over the last several quarters to try to determine.
Speaker #5: Are you thinking of, you ow, services and, you ow, kind of working with clients as like a tip of the spear for new customer acquisition or more expansion within the existing customers?
In situations, where they're not putting their largest cases into desk.
Why aren't they doing that and at the.
The most common reason that we heard was that they needed to leverage services are needed the access to services.
Speaker #6: Yeah, thanks, DJ. Let me tell you how I think services or we're more specifically with you in every case because with you in every case is really about being able to support our ustomers with whatever they need for their largest and most complex cases.
Typically it can be project management forensics ingestion type services.
And so we recognized that we needed to do a much better job educating the market that we have those types of services capabilities.
Speaker #6: And, you ow, when we really dug in and met with our customers over the last several quarters to try to determine in situations where they're putting their largest cases into Disco, why aren't they doing that?
We've seen great results, increasing our software revenue specifically related to doing better education around that exact topic last quarter I shared an example of a customer that I met with in the U K in February once we educated them about their services they tripled their software revenue with us.
Speaker #6: And the most common reason that we heard was that they needed to leverage services or they needed the access to services. And that, you know, typically could be project management, forensics, ingestion-type services, and so we recognized that we needed to do a much better job educating the market that we have those types of services capabilities.
In the first three months after that.
Since then they've doubled again.
And so that's just an example, and there's many examples across the board where by educating customers that we have these types of services available. They are more inclined to leverage us. So we're not trying to promote our services, we're not trying to drive up our services revenue that's not in the least that the point.
Speaker #6: And we've seen great results in increasing our software revenue, specifically related to doing better education around that exact topic. I, you know, last quarter, I shared an example of a customer that I met with in the UK in February where once we educated them about their services, they tripled their software revenue with us in the first three months after that.
<unk> is we're with them and whether they leverage our services, whether they leverage a partner's services or whether they leverage their internal services. Some of the bigger law firms have centralized medication support teams with centralized E. Discovery teams that can serve them really well and we can support those teams.
Speaker #6: Since then, they've ubled again. And so that's just an example and there's many examples across the board where by educating customers that we have these types of services available, they're more inclined to leverage us.
But again, it's not about driving up the software revenue its about driving up I'm, sorry, it's not about driving up the services revenue, it's about helping our customer and driving up our software revenues.
Speaker #6: So we're not trying to promote our services. We're not ying to drive up our services revenue. That's not in least bit the point. The point is we're with them.
Okay got you and then maybe a quick follow up for Michael.
So we have your target for.
Speaker #6: And whether they leverage our services, whether they leverage a partner's services, or whether they leverage their internal services, some of the bigger law firms have centralized litigation support teams or centralized e-discovery teams that can serve them really well, and we can support those teams.
I know there is still probably about six six quarters give or take away from the quarterly EBITDA targets you gave us.
But it still sounds like you guys are working to implement a couple changes operationally. So do you think achieving these targets is going to hinge more on an inflection in revenue growth or do you think the operational improvements so that's going to get us there.
Speaker #6: But again, it's not about driving up the software revenue. It's about driving up, 'm sorry, it's not about driving up the services revenue. It's helping our customer and driving up our software revenues.
So P. J that's a good question.
Speaker #5: Okay. Gotcha. And then maybe a quick follow-up for Michael. So, you know, we have your target for, you know, I know we're probably about six quarters, give take away from the quarterly EBITDA targets you ave us.
The guy that the feedback we've provided previously and we're standing by that feedback is.
Our goal is to be adjusted EBITDA positive or breakeven in Q4 of 2026 and we that.
Speaker #5: But it still sounds like you guys are working to implement a couple of es operationally. So do you think, you know, achieving these targets is going to hinge more on an inflection in revenue growth or do you think operational prudence is what's going to get us there?
That is that it continues to be the goal and it obviously there is revenue growth growth assumptions in that from an expense structure. We're planning on keeping our expenses relatively the same there might be a modest uptick in certain departments.
Speaker #6: So DJ, that's a good question. I, you know, the guy, the feedback we've provided previously and we're standing by that feedback is our goal is to be adjusted EBITDA positive or break even in Q4 of 2026.
But most of what we're doing on the expense side is primarily reallocation in areas of the business that will drive that we continue to believe will drive growth.
And that we've been doing over the last couple of quarters.
And just to add on to that I mean I'm extremely.
Speaker #6: And we that is that it continues to be the goal and it obviously there's revenue growth, growth assumptions in that from an expense structure.
Pleased that we were able to beat the high end of our.
Our EBIT guidance in Q2 pretty considerably.
Look I think this business can be at 20% plus grower.
Speaker #6: We're planning on keeping our expenses relatively the same. There might be a modest uptick in certain departments. But most of what 're doing on the expense side is primarily reallocation in areas of the business that will drive that we continue to believe will drive growth.
We're charting our path towards that.
Part of that is going to involve continuing with some of the investments that we have committed to around building out things like customer success.
Sales enablement, finishing.
Finishing up the implementation of our quote to cash system and these are just critical investments that need to be able to make to accelerate our growth to get to that 20% plus number over time and to take advantage of the huge market opportunity. So.
Speaker #6: And that we've been doing over the last couple of quarters.
Speaker #5: Yeah. And just to add on to that, I mean, ou know, I'm extremely pleased that we were able beat the high end of our EBITDA guidance in Q2 pretty considerably.
We're absolutely committed as Michael mentioned to being EBIT breakeven adjusted EBITDA breakeven in Q4 of 2026.
Speaker #5: Look, I think this business can be a 20% plus grower. We're charting our path towards that. Part that is going to involve continuing with some of the investments that we have committed to around building out things like customer success, sales enablement, finishing out the implementation of our quote-to-cash system.
And we've had some good success along the way at beating our expectations around EBITDA, but we're still are going to make some investments along the way.
Okay. Thanks, guys appreciate it.
<unk>.
Speaker #5: And these are just critical investments that need to be le to make to accelerate our growth, to get to that 20% plus number over time.
The next question comes from the line of Scott Berg with Needham <unk> Company. Please go ahead.
Speaker #5: And to take advantage of this huge market opportunity. So, you know, we're absolutely committed as Michael mentioned to being able to break even adjusted EBITDA break even in Q4 of 2026.
Hi, This is Ian black on for Scott Berg, Congratulations on the great quarter.
As you guys move up market into larger matters, how does that increase your revenue visibility and durability.
Speaker #5: And, you know, we've had some good success along the way at beating our expectations around EBITDA, but we still are going to make some investments along the way.
Yes, that's a great question Ian.
I think one important thing to point out obviously, we're a usage based business and as we've spoken as we have spoken about in the past.
Speaker #5: Okay. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.
Speaker #6: You bet.
Matters begin and then revenue begins matters and in revenue and that's the vast majority of the revenue that comes in for disco one of the things not only our larger matters larger revenue, but they tend to last a lot longer as well, which gives us the opportunity to.
Speaker #1: Our next question comes from the line of Scott Burke with Native and Company. Please go head.
Speaker #7: Hi, this is Ian Black. I'm for Scott Berge. Congratulations on the great quarter. As you guys move up market into larger matters, how does that increase your revenue visibility and durability?
Have a little bit better I guess predictability from a revenue standpoint over time as well. The other thing is those larger matters oftentimes are coming from our larger customers and larger customers tend to have larger wallet. They tend to have more matters and the more traction we get with those customers. The more opportunity we have to expand even further within those customers.
Speaker #6: Yeah, that's a at question. Ian. I ink one important thing to point out, you know, obviously we're a usage-based business. And as we've oken as we have spoken about in the past, you know, matters begin and then revenue begins.
Speaker #6: Matters end and revenue ends. That's the vast majority of the revenue that comes in for Disco. One of the things, not only are larger matters larger revenue, but they tend to last a lot longer as well.
It becomes a much more efficient cost of sale through that expansion. So as I mentioned in the past we've got well now we're up to we've actually just grew 6% but were up to 323 customers that spend over 100, K a year with us up 6% year over year and in many of those customers, who might only have 10 or 15% of.
Speaker #6: Which gives us the opportunity to have a little bit better I guess predictability from a revenue standpoint over time as well. The other thing is those larger matters oftentimes are coming from our larger customers.
Their wallet share and we're hyper focused on growing our wallet share within those customers. So larger matters equals more wallet share larger matters equals longer longer revenue streams.
Speaker #6: And larger customers tend to have larger wallets. They tend to have more matters. And the more traction that we get with those customers, the more opportunity we have to expand even further within those customers.
Speaker #6: And it becomes a much more efficient cost of sale through that expansion. So as I mentioned in the past, you know, we've got well, now we're up to we've actually just grew 6%, but we're up to 323 customers to spend over 100K a year with us, up 6% year over year.
Thank you and then one quick follow up you guys called out.
<unk> growth can celiac, what is the revenue uplift of that product.
So good question. So we're really really pleased with our overall software performance in Q2 and also coming in about 900 K above the guidance range. We've provided really really strong execution across the board in terms of this facility, we don't break out that actual number but we're really pleased with.
Speaker #6: And in many of those customers, we might only have 10 or 15% of their wallet share. And we're hyper-focused on growing our wallet share within those customers.
Speaker #6: So larger matters, equals more wallet share. Larger matters, equals longer revenue streams.
Number of databases, using Cecilia and the other thing that we're really pleased about is.
Speaker #7: Thank you. And then one quick follow-up. Are you guys called out a significant growth from Cecilia? What is the revenue uplift of that product?
A lot of our larger multi terabyte matters. They use force in facility has gone up a fair amount, we talk about that a little bit previously and that is really part of our overall strategy of driving larger matters and also focusing on our larger customers. So we're just overall really pleased with the adoption of Cecilia yeah.
Speaker #6: So good question. So we're really, really pleased with our overall software performance in Q2 and also coming in about 900K. Above the guidance range we had provided.
Speaker #6: Really, really strong execution across the board. In terms of Cecilia, we don't break out that actual number, but we're really pleased with the number of databases using Cecilia.
Just to add into that we're also pleased with the revenue that we're getting from Cecilia.
So it's great that we have 150% growth in the first half of the year and the number of large cases, but the revenue associated dose is great too, but equally important honestly is the value that the customers are getting from Cecilia that makes them want to keep using it. So many of our customers that use phacelia will use it again and again and that makes that core EDA.
Speaker #6: And the other thing that we're really pleased about is a lot of our larger multi-terabyte matters, the use for in Cecilia has gone up a fair ount.
Speaker #6: We talk about that a little bit. Previously, and that is really part of our overall strategy of driving larger matters and also focusing on our larger customers.
<unk> product that much stickier.
Speaker #6: So we're just overall really pleased with the adoption of Cecilia.
Thank you and congratulations on the good quarter.
Speaker #7: Yeah. And just to into that, you know, we're also pleased with the revenue that we're etting from Cecilia. So it's great that we have 150% growth in the first half of the year on the number of large cases, but the revenue associated with those is great too.
Great. Thanks, Ian.
Your next question comes from the line of Mark <unk> with loop capital. Please go ahead.
Hi, Thank you for taking my questions Eric a couple of questions around go to market with respect to the increasing focus on larger customers. I was wondering if you could just discuss the progress you've made just bringing in the right type of sales rep.
Speaker #7: But equally important honestly is the value that the customers are getting from Cecilia that makes them want to keep using it. So many of our customers that use Cecilia will use it again and again.
Speaker #7: And that makes our core e-discovery product that much stickier. Thank you. And congratulations on the good arter.
And then of course, the right shows up and has the capability to sell higher up into the organization.
Sure, Yes, I mean, I think you know we brought on Lauren Caruso as our Chief sales officer, it's been about six months ago. I think it was October of last year, you, obviously have a lot of enterprise experience that's been super helpful.
Speaker #6: Great. Thanks, Ian.
Speaker #1: Your next question comes from the line of Mark Chappelle with Loop Capital. Please go head.
Speaker #8: Hi. Thank you for taking my questions. Eric, a couple of questions around go-to-market. With respect to the increasing focus on larger customers, I was wondering if you could just discuss the progress you've made just bringing in the right type of sales rep, bringing them in the at least the right sales rep that has the capability to sell higher up into the organization.
We have brought on several more enterprise grade salespeople, who have experience not just with large accounts, but also in the legal technology industry. So that's been extremely helpful.
And then a lot of it is about focus we've actually opened up more racks in that space.
We've got less people that are working on small accounts and more people that are working on large accounts and then it's the plays that we're running so for example, we've got a strategic account management program, where we have a set of accounts that we have multiple resources working on across the country or in some cases, even in the UK and Canada.
Speaker #6: Sure. Yeah. I mean, well, I ink, you know, we brought on Lauren Caruso as our ief sales officer. It's been about six months ago.
Speaker #6: I ink it was October of last year. She obviously has a lot of enterprise experience. That's been super helpful. We have brought on several more enterprise-grade salespeople who have experience not just with large accounts, but also in the legal technology industry.
Where it's not just one experienced enterprise sales person, it's multiple because theres a decentralized aspect in a centralized aspect to how we grow our share within these particular accounts. In addition to that we've got an account based marketing approach.
Speaker #6: So that's been extremely pful. And then a lot it is about focus. You know, we've actually opened up more reps in that space. We've, you know, we've got less people that are working on small accounts and more people that are working on large accounts.
So that.
We're putting again extra very focused resources on.
Speaker #6: And then it's the plays that we're ning. So for example, we've got a strategic account management program where we have a set of accounts that we have multiple resources working across the country or in some cases even in the UK and Canada.
Sharing the content the stories the value that we're getting are.
Our customers are getting within those accounts to try to work to expand so its a real cross functional approach between sales self development marketing and customer success.
Speaker #6: Where it's not just one experienced enterprise salesperson. It's multiple because there's a decentralized aspect and a centralized aspect to how we grow our share.
Yes.
Thanks, and then as a follow up I was wondering if you could just review some of the changes you've made to your lead.
Gen team.
Speaker #6: Within these particular accounts, in addition to that, we've got an account-based marketing approach. So that, you know, 're putting again extra very focused resources on sharing the content, the stories, the value that we're etting or that our customers getting within those accounts to try to work to expand it.
Yeah, well so the lead Gen team and if we just rewind all the way back to the time before I got here.
It is really just all about setting up meetings with customers and those meetings could be and they were incentivize that way and those meetings could be with small customers that could be with large customers. We've really changed if you think about the way I. Just described our go to market approach and how its integrated between sales sales development marketing and customer success sales.
Speaker #6: So it's a real cross-functional approach between sales, sales development, marketing, and customer success.
Speaker #8: Thanks. And then as a follow-up, I was wondering if you could just review some of changes you've to your lead gen team.
Rep now really orchestrates all of that so think of them as almost like kind of like a quarterback and away, making sure that they're taking the inputs for marketing and.
Speaker #6: Yeah. Well, so the lead gen team, and this if we just rewind all the way back to, you know, the time before I got here, was really just all about setting up meetings with customers.
Quantifying the opportunity and sending it along to the salesperson and the customer success person is working in coordination with them.
Speaker #6: And those meetings could be and they were incentivized that way. And those etings could be with small customers that could be with large customers.
Because again a lot of our focus is on these existing accounts, where we're expanding the wallet share. So it's very much more now of an orchestration type of an approach rather than just a prospecting type of an approach.
Speaker #6: We really changed if you think the way I just described our o-to-market approach and how it's integrated between sales, sales development, marketing, and customer success, the sales development rep now really orchestrates all of that.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yes, no problem. Thanks Mark.
Speaker #6: So think of them as almost like kind of like the quarterback in way, making sure that, you know, they're taking the inputs from marketing and and, you ow, qualifying the opportunity and sending it along to the salesperson and that the customer success person is working in coordination with them.
Again to ask a question. Please press star one on your telephone keypad again that is star one to ask a question.
Speaker #6: Because again, a lot of our focus is these existing accounts where we're expanding the wallet share. So it's very much more now of an orchestration type of an approach rather than just a prospecting type of an approach.
Okay.
And our next question comes from the line of Closeout Akita with Bank of America.
Hey, guys. Thanks, so much for taking the questions Michael.
Speaker #8: Thank ou.
<unk> been awesome working with you over the years and that's it.
Speaker #6: Yeah, no problem. Thanks, Mark.
Good luck with whatever journey you have next coming for you.
Speaker #1: Again, to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. Again, that is star one to ask a estion. And our next question comes from the line of Koja Akita.
I have a question on maybe go to market and any sort of additional pieces that.
You may need to bring into the into the company to kind of execute the long term growth strategy, either from additional executives or regions or capacity.
Figure out is there more to go or is it team here in place to really drive the kind of the next story of growth here for for disco.
Speaker #1: With Bank of America.
Speaker #9: Hey, guys. Thanks so much for taking the questions. Michael, it's been awesome working with you over the years and best of luck with whatever journey you have next coming for you.
Yeah, Thanks, Koji I mean.
If I think about the story of the transformation journey that we're on I guess I would I would really sort of phase it out and I would say the first phase started when I got here 15 months ago and it was really about digging in deep learning the business meeting with our customers and I met with over 100 customers that first year, but many many in the first.
Speaker #9: I have a question on maybe go-to-market and any sort of additional pieces that you may need to bring into the into the company to kind of execute the long-term growth strategy.
Speaker #9: Either from, you know, additional executives or regions or capacity? I mean, just trying to figure out is there more to go or is the team here in place to really drive, you ow, the kind of the next story of growth here for Disco?
A couple of quarters.
Digging in deep on our ideal customer profile understanding exactly where we can add the most value to customers and where we can generate significant revenue improvement from customers looking at the types of matters that we should focus on so really digging deep learning the business. The next phase was all about developing the strategy and developing a very very clear.
Speaker #6: Yeah, thanks, Koji. I mean, you ow, if I think about the story the transformation journey that we're on, I guess I would I would really sort of phase it out.
Speaker #6: And I would say, you know, the first phase started when I got here 15 months ago. And it was really about digging in deep, learning the business, meeting with our ustomers.
Our strategy, where we knew exactly who we were going to focus on how we were going to go after them.
So we're going to drive efficiency into the operations of the business. The third phase was really about team development.
Speaker #6: And I met with over 100 customers that first year. But many, many in the first couple of quarters. Digging in deep on our ideal customer profile, understanding exactly where we can add the most value to customers and where we can generate significant revenue rovement from customers.
The biggest phase of building out the senior leadership team, which was sort of a combination of taking the extremely talented people that we have on staff and adding some more been there done that executives who have help scale organizations in the past. So so that was the next phase and then the next phase was really about alignment, making sure that everybody in the company is 100%.
Speaker #6: Looking at the types of matters that we should focus on. So really, you know, digging deep and learning the business. The next phase was all about developing the strategy and developing a very, very clear strategy where we knew exactly who we were going to focus on, how we were going to go after them, how we were going to rive efficiency into the operations of the business.
And our strategy.
And that's what we went through and then there's a lot of phases, but those all happened.
Quite quickly in succession, and when we launched into 2025 at our company kickoff meeting in January.
Speaker #6: The third phase was really about team development. know, the biggest phase of, ou know, building out the senior leadership team, which was sort of a combination of taking the, ou know, extremely talented people that we have on staff and adding some more been there, done that executives who have helped scale organizations in the past.
I told the company that are rally Cry for 2025 is it's go time.
And it's all about execution and I acknowledge the fact that we have more transformation to do and frankly.
Speaker #6: So that was the next phase. And then the next phase was really about alignment, making sure that everybody in the company is 100% aligned on our strategy and that's what we went through.
Koji, we still do we still do have more transformation to do but just because we are still doing transformation doesn't mean that we can't execute it doesn't mean that we can't start getting results and starting to perform and so.
Speaker #6: And then there's a lot of phases, but those all happened, you ow, quite quickly in succession. And when we launched into 2025, at our company kickoff meeting in January, I told the company that our rally cry for 2025 is it's go time.
Look I think what I would say is.
There is still more to go but I consider that a good thing.
In fact, there probably always will be something to go we're an innovative company right there'll always be some transformation, but theres still some more to go we are rolling out new plays there is some more that we can do around specific matter types that we're starting to execute on where I think we can perform even better.
Speaker #6: And it's all about execution. And, you know, I acknowledged the fact that we have more transformation to do. And frankly, Koji, we still do.
Speaker #6: We still do have more transformation to do. But just because we are still doing transformation doesn't mean that we can't execute. It doesn't mean that we can't start getting results and starting to perform.
So there is some more to go there, but we're a good chunk of the way through.
The transformation is such that we can start executing getting results.
Thank you.
Speaker #6: And so, look, I think what I would say is there is still more to go, but I consider that a good thing. In fact, you know, there will probably always be something to go.
Yeah, you bet.
Okay.
And with no further questions in queue I will now hand, the call back over to Eric Friedrichsen.
Speaker #6: We're an novative company, right? There'll always some transformation. But there's still some more to go. We're olling out new plays. There's I think some more that we can do around specific matter types that we're starting to execute on where I think we can perform even better.
CEO for closing remarks.
Yes, Thank you very much and thanks really for everybody for joining us today.
<unk> team just continues to make strong progress I'm really encouraged by the momentum that we're seeing across the entire business.
Speaker #6: So there's more to go there, but, you ow, we're a good chunk of the way through the transformation such that we can start executing and getting ults.
I'm, especially pleased that this has enabled us to beat the high end of our guidance for both software and adjusted EBITDA in Q2 and to lift our guidance for the full year as I mentioned earlier right now its all about execution I believe that this business can be a 20% plus grower, we're really just getting started.
Speaker #9: Thank ou.

Speaker #6: I'm really encouraged by the momentum that we're seeing across the entire business. I'm especially pleased that this has enabled us to beat the high end of our guidance for both software and adjusted EBITDA.
Optimistic about the road ahead I believe that the initiatives that we've already launched are just starting to show that early impact and they will serve as long term drivers of our performance.
Speaker #6: In Q2 and to lift our guidance for the full year. As I mentioned earlier, you know, right now it's all about execution. I believe that this business could be a 20% plus grower.
Even even though I'm proud of the fact that we had 12% software growth and that we're able to raise the midpoint of our guidance by $2 $5 million on software for the year, It's really more about how we got there. We said we were going to go focus on expansion within our large customers and acquiring larger.
Speaker #6: We're really just getting started. There's much more progress that we can make. At the same time, I'm just incredibly proud of the talented Disco teammates that we have throughout the entire organization.
Speaker #6: I'm optimistic about the road ahead. I believe that the initiatives that we've already launched are just starting to show that early impact. And they will serve as long-term drivers of our performance.
Customers with larger wallets, we said it was going to be about I'm, starting to work on the larger and more strategic matters.
From our customers and we saw incredible strides there in terms of both revenue and quantity for those areas, which gives me more and more confidence about the future and gives me that much more confidence to be able to raise the guidance. So while I'm proud of what will be accomplished so far we're really just getting started we have got the right people. We've got the right strategy, we're starting to see.
Speaker #6: You know, even though I'm proud of the fact that we had 12% software growth and we're able to raise the midpoint of our guidance by two and a half dollars on software, for the year, it's really more about how we got there.
Speaker #6: It's, you know, we said we were going to go focus expansion within our large customers and acquiring larger customers with larger wallets. We said it was going to be starting to work on the most the larger and more strategic matters from our customers.
