**DFIN Reports Third-Quarter 2025 Results**

**CHICAGO – October 29, 2025 – Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: DFIN)** (the "Company" or "DFIN") today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2025.

Highlights for the third quarter of 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Third-quarter software solutions net sales of $90.7 million, an increase of 10.3% from the third quarter of 2024; Software solutions net sales accounted for 51.7% of total net sales, up from 45.8% in the third quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•GAAP net loss of $40.9 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $8.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024.

oAs previously announced, the Company completed the termination and settlement of its primary defined benefit plan during the quarter; the settlement resulted in a non-cash charge of $82.8 million and a $12.5 million cash contribution to fully fund the plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Non-GAAP net earnings<sup>(a)</sup> of $23.7 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, as compared to non-GAAP net earnings<sup>(a)</sup> of $14.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(a)</sup> of $49.5 million, up $6.3 million, or 14.6%, from the third quarter of 2024; Adjusted EBITDA margin<sup>(a)</sup> of 28.2%, up approximately 410 basis points from the third quarter of 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Gross leverage<sup>(a)</sup>of 0.7x and net leverage<sup>(a)</sup>of 0.6x as of September 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•The Company repurchased 659,367 shares for approximately $35.5 million at an average price of $53.79 per share. As of September 30, 2025, the remaining share repurchase authorization was $114.5 million.

(a) Non-GAAP net earnings, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, gross leverage and net leverage are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of certain items noted in the reconciliation tables below. The tables below provide reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.

"We are pleased with the results for the third quarter, as we continue to progress in our strategic transformation by delivering an improved sales mix, an increase in Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion compared to the third quarter of 2024. We experienced increased momentum in the growth of our software solutions net sales, which increased 10.3% versus the third quarter of 2024, driven by our recurring compliance products, ActiveDisclosure and Arc Suite, which grew approximately 16%, in aggregate. Venue, our virtual data room product, recorded sales growth of approximately 3%, an improvement compared to recent trend. In addition, during the third quarter, we launched new Venue following a comprehensive rebuild and have received very positive feedback in response to the most modern virtual data room on the market. Software solutions net sales accounted for 51.7% of total third-quarter net sales, up approximately 590 basis points from last year's third-quarter sales mix and represented the majority of our overall quarterly net sales, another positive proof point of our software-centric strategy," said Daniel N. Leib, DFIN's President and Chief Executive Officer.

Leib continued, "The improvement in the level of capital markets deal activity we experienced in the second quarter, especially the market for new equity issuances, strengthened in the third quarter, resulting in better-than-expected third-quarter capital markets transactional revenue. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $6.3 million, or 14.6%, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 28.2%, approximately 410 basis points higher than last year's third quarter, despite a modest year-over-year reduction in total transactional revenue. Our continued strong margin performance reflects the combination of our ongoing migration to a more favorable sales mix, permanent reductions to our cost structure, and operating efficiencies, all of which enable DFIN to operate at a higher level of profitability across various market cycles."

"Entering the fourth quarter, the government shutdown which started on October 1<sup>st</sup> and the resulting impact on the SEC's ability to declare registration statements effective has substantially curtailed IPO activity and impacted other capital markets transactions so far in the fourth quarter. While the outlook for the duration of the government shutdown remains unknown, our strong market position and deep domain expertise position DFIN well when market activity resumes. We will continue to aggressively manage our cost structure and remain disciplined in the allocation of capital as we execute our transformation to become the market leading provider of regulatory and compliance solutions," Leib concluded.

**Net Sales**

Net sales in the third quarter of 2025 were $175.3 million, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 2.3%, from the third quarter of 2024. Net sales decreased primarily due to lower investment companies and capital markets compliance revenue, part of which is related to a reduction in print and distribution volumes, and lower capital markets transactional revenue, which decreased $3.5 million year-over-year, partially offset by higher software solutions net sales primarily driven by ActiveDisclosure and Arc Suite.

**Pension Plan Termination and Settlement**

In August 2024, the Company executed an amendment to commence the process of terminating the Company's primary defined benefit plan (the "Plan") which had been frozen since 2011. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company settled the Plan obligations through a combination of lump sum payments to certain Plan participants and the purchase of a non-participating irrevocable group annuity contract from a third-party insurer, backed by state guarantees (the "Plan Settlement"). In connection with the Plan Settlement, the Company made a $12.5 million cash contribution to fully fund the Plan.

As a result of the Plan Settlement, the Company remeasured the Plan's assets and obligations and recognized a non-cash settlement charge of $82.8 million during third quarter of 2025, due to the recognition of unrealized accumulated Plan losses previously reported within accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Plan Settlement was recorded within Corporate. The Plan Settlement resulted in the removal of a net liability of approximately $10 million (approximately $200 million of Plan obligations and approximately $190 million of Plan assets) from the Company's balance sheet.

**Net (Loss) Earnings**

For the third quarter of 2025, net loss was $40.9 million, or $1.49 loss per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $8.7 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024. Net loss in the third quarter of 2025 included after-tax charges of $64.6 million, or $2.35 per diluted share, primarily related to the Plan Settlement and share-based compensation expense. Net earnings in the third quarter of 2024 included after-tax charges of $5.6 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, primarily related to share-based compensation expense.

**Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Net Earnings**

For the third quarter of 2025, Adjusted EBITDA was $49.5 million, an increase of $6.3 million as compared to the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 28.2%, an increase of approximately 410 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin was primarily due to higher software solutions net sales, a favorable sales mix, and cost control initiatives, partially offset by lower investment companies and capital markets compliance volumes and lower capital markets transactional revenue.

For the third quarter of 2025, non-GAAP net earnings were $23.7 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, as compared to $14.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024.

Reconciliations of reported net sales to organic net sales and consolidated net earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and non-GAAP net earnings are presented in the tables.

**Use of Non-GAAP Information**

This news release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP gross profit, adjusted non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted non-GAAP selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), adjusted non- GAAP income from operations, adjusted non-GAAP operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP earnings before income taxes, non- GAAP effective tax rate, adjusted non-GAAP net earnings, adjusted non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share, Free Cash Flow and organic net sales. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP measures, provide useful information about the Company's operating results and liquidity and enhance the overall ability to assess the Company's financial performance. The Company uses these measures, together with other measures of performance under GAAP, to compare the relative performance of operations in planning, budgeting and reviewing the performance of its business.

The Company's non-GAAP statement of operations measures, which include non-GAAP gross profit, adjusted non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, adjusted non-GAAP SG&A, adjusted non-GAAP income from operations, adjusted non- GAAP operating margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, non-GAAP earnings before income taxes, non-GAAP effective tax rate, adjusted non-GAAP net earnings and adjusted non-GAAP net earnings per diluted share, are adjusted to exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses and other specified items that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operations. These adjusted measures exclude the impact of expenses associated with the Company's pension plan settlement charge, non-income tax, net, accelerated rent (benefit) expense, share-based compensation and eliminate potential differences in results of operations between periods caused by factors such as historic cost and age of assets, financing and capital structures, taxation positions or regimes, restructuring, impairment and other charges, net and gain or loss on certain investments, business sales and asset sales.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as net cash flow provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. By adjusting for the level of capital investment in operations, the Company believes that free cash flow can provide useful additional basis for understanding the Company's ability to generate cash after capital investment and provides a comparison to peers with differing capital intensity.

Organic net sales is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined by the Company as reported net sales adjusted for the changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the impact of dispositions.

These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures are defined differently by different companies in our industry and, accordingly, such measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies.

__________

(a)The Company has a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"). The Revolving Facility is subject to a number of covenants, including a minimum Interest Coverage Ratio and a maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, both as defined and calculated in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2025, there were $43.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Facility as well as $1.5 million in outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees, all of which reduced the availability under the Revolving Facility. Based on the Company's results of operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2025 and existing debt, the Company would have had the ability to utilize the remaining $255.5 million of the $300.0 million Revolving Facility and not have been in violation of the terms of the Revolving Facility agreement.
