Daily Journal Corporation (DJCO) reported shareholder approval of an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation eliminating cumulative voting in director elections, effective September 11, 2026, together with Board-approved Amended and Restated Bylaws.
The bylaws now include proxy access that permits a passive shareholder, or a group of up to 20 passive shareholders, owning at least three percent of shares for at least three years to nominate up to two directors (or twenty percent of Board seats up for election) for inclusion in the company’s proxy statement. The bylaws also add an exclusive forum provision for certain disputes in South Carolina courts, update officer titles and duties, and modernize advance notice so director nominations are generally due 60 days before the prior year’s meeting anniversary, while clarifying that shareholders cannot call special meetings. The Board authorized a share repurchase framework to buy up to 35,000 shares of common stock through September 30, 2027, and adopted a director resignation policy requiring a director to tender an irrevocable resignation if they receive more “no” than “yes” votes in an uncontested election, with the Board generally expected to accept it.
Daily Journal Corporation reported consolidated nine‑month revenue of $69.2 million, up 16.8% from the prior year, driven mainly by Journal Technologies. That software segment grew revenue to $55.6 million and pretax income to $9.8 million, helped by higher licensing, consulting, and e‑filing public service fees.
Despite operating profit of $8.7 million, large non‑cash market swings produced a net loss of $53.5 million, versus prior‑year net income of $70.0 million. The company recorded $87.0 million of unrealized losses on marketable securities, compared with $84.3 million of unrealized gains a year earlier. Marketable securities still had $405.96 million fair value and $266.9 million cumulative unrealized gains as of June 30, 2026.
Operating cash flow strengthened to $12.9 million, supporting a margin loan paydown to $20.0 million and working capital of $424.1 million. However, management continues to report material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls were deemed not effective as of June 30, 2026 while remediation testing continues.
Daily Journal Corporation reported strong top-line growth for the quarter and first nine months ended June 30, 2026. Third-quarter total revenue was $27.0 million, up 15.3% year-over-year, and nine-month revenue was $69.2 million, up 16.8%, driven mainly by Journal Technologies, Inc.
Journal Technologies revenue grew 19.5% in the quarter and 21% over the first nine months, with higher e-filing and public service fees, recurring license and maintenance revenues, and consulting activity. Income from operations increased to $5.3 million for the quarter and $8.7 million year-to-date, reflecting operating leverage in the technology business.
Despite this, the company recorded a quarterly net loss of $10.9 million and a nine-month net loss of $53.5 million, compared with profits in the prior-year periods, as net unrealized losses of $24.1 million in the quarter and $87.0 million year-to-date on marketable securities materially affected reported results.
Daily Journal Corporation is calling a special shareholder meeting on September 10, 2026 to vote on amending its Articles of Incorporation to eliminate cumulative voting in director elections. Approval requires a majority of the 1,377,752 outstanding common shares and failure if opposing votes could elect a director under cumulative voting.
The board unanimously recommends voting FOR eliminating cumulative voting and FOR allowing adjournment to solicit more proxies. If approved, the board plans related governance changes, including a director resignation policy under the Majority Voting Standard, a proxy access bylaw for 3%/3‑year holders, modernized advance notice deadlines, and increasing board size from four to at least six independent directors. Shareholders who do not vote in favor and comply with South Carolina Chapter 13 procedures may exercise dissenters’ rights to receive the court-determined fair value of their shares in cash; if dissent notices exceed 5% of outstanding shares, the board may decide whether to proceed or abandon the amendment.

Total revenue for the six-month period rose to $42.3 million from $35.9 million, driven mainly by Journal Technologies, which grew licensing, consulting, and public service fee revenues.
Despite stronger operating results, the company booked net unrealized losses on marketable securities of $62.9 million over six months, compared with prior-year unrealized gains of $72.8 million. This portfolio swing led to a six‑month pretax loss of $57.1 million and a net loss of $42.6 million, versus prior-year net income of $55.6 million.

First half total revenue rose to $42.3 million, a 17.8% increase from $35.9 million.
Income from operations improved to $3.0 million for the quarter and $3.5 million for the first half, showing better profitability in the core businesses.
