| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $185M | $175.3M | +5.53% |
| Profit | $21.3M | -$40.9M | +152.08% |
| Profit per share | $0.85 | -$1.49 | +157.05% |
| Free Cash Flow | $85.8M | $59.2M | +44.93% |
These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.
Donnelley Financial Solutions, Inc. has no earnings call transcript available.
“We are pleased with our performance in the quarter, which featured 5.5% consolidated net sales growth, an increase in Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion. Software solutions net sales increased 5.0% versus the third quarter of 2025, driven by the continued momentum of ActiveDisclosure, a component of our compliance offerings, which grew approximately 24% as we continued to expand client adoption, increase the value of our offering, and migrate certain traditional services onto the platform. Software solutions net sales accounted for 51.5% of total net sales, similar to last year’s third-quarter software sales mix, despite a moderate increase in both tech-enabled services and print and distribution net sales,”

Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
