COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--McGraw Hill, Inc. (NYSE: MH) ('McGraw Hill' or the 'Company'), a leading global provider of information solutions across education from preK-12 through higher education and professional learning, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter 2026 ended June 30, 2025. Fiscal First Quarter 2026 Key Financial Highlights Total revenue of $535.7 million, an increase of 2.4% year-over-year. Re-occurring revenue of $387.6 million, an increase of 7.1% year-over-year. Digital revenue of $325.0 million, an increase of 7.2% year-over-year. GAAP gross profit of $412.3 million, an increase of 3.7% year-over-year.

Through our deep understanding of learning methodologies, our wealth of data and insights, and our responsible and impactful use of artificial intelligence, we are seeing strong demand for McGraw Hill solutions which personalize the learning experience for millions of educators and students around the world." 'Our fiscal first quarter performance reflects McGraw Hill's track record of disciplined execution and profitable growth with results landing at the upper end of the ranges provided in our registration statement filed in July,' said Bob Sallmann, McGraw Hill Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. 'The proceeds from our IPO have strengthened our balance sheet which we believe will deepen our competitive positioning through growth-oriented investments that leverage our scale ahead of robust market opportunities in fiscal year 2027 and beyond.' Fiscal First Quarter 2026 Business Highlights Revenue totaled $535.7 million, an increase of 2.4% year-over-year. The increase was driven primarily by re-occurring and digital revenue growth. Market share increased within U.S. higher education along with strong K-12 capture rate amid the predictably smaller fiscal year 2026 market. Gross profit margin improved over 90 basis points year-over-year to 77.0%, due to higher margin digital growth. Adjusted EBITDA margin (1) expanded over 150 basis points year-over-year to 35.7%, amid ongoing business reinvestment. New solutions and capabilities were bolstered through the impactful and responsible use of data science and GenAI to drive efficacy, solve pain points, and fuel continued growth and market expansion. Internal efficiencies captured through proprietary AI-powered solutions like Scribe, reducing cost and time to market within select product development. Performance on pace with historical seasonality with emphasis on first half fiscal year results in alignment with the academic calendar with approximately 60% of revenue and 65% of Adjusted EBITDA (1) typically realized in the first half of the fiscal year. K-12 Business Revenue totaled $270.9 million, a decline of 1.4% year-over-year. The decrease was expected due to the smaller overall market opportunity this fiscal year. Re-occurring revenue totaled $183.6 million, an increase of 10.1% year-over-year. Capture rates trended favorable with leadership across several state contracts and continued science program strength. Positioned for growth in the larger fiscal year 2027 market and beyond having secured review panel recommendation for California math while also conducting a nationwide flagship K-5 core literacy pilot. Higher Education Business Revenue totaled $182.4 million, an increase of 14.1% year-over-year. The increase was driven by share gains, enrollment, and continued demand for digital learning solutions. Re-occurring revenue totaled $159.6 million, an increase of 6.8% year-over-year. Momentum continued with Inclusive Access land and expand execution amid ongoing innovation. First-to-market Evergreen content delivery model gained traction, achieving a 95% acceptance rate among instructors receiving the update. Global Professional Business Revenue totaled $35.2 million, relatively steady year-over-year, as a 3.9% increase in re-occurring revenue was offset by the ongoing strategic exit of non-core solutions. International Business Revenue totaled $51.5 million, a decrease of 11.7% year-over-year, as regional specific contract timing resulted in an 8.7% re-occurring revenue decline amid continued digital transition.

Safe Harbor Statement This press release includes statements that are, or may be deemed to be, 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 'Exchange Act'), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including terms such as 'believes,' 'estimates,' 'anticipates,' 'expects,' 'projects,' 'intends,' 'plans,' 'may,' 'will,' 'should' or 'seeks,' or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, the Company's results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies and the industry in which it operates. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, as they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. The Company's expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith, and the Company believes there is a reasonable basis for them; however, the Company cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that the Company's actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the developments in the industry in which the Company operates, may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release, including those described under the headings 'Risk Factors' and 'Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements' in the Company's final prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, filed on July 24, 2025, the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other filings made with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ('SEC'). In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this press release, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. Any forward-looking statements the Company makes in this press release speak only as of the date of such statement. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information. future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by any applicable securities law. (1) Non GAAP Financial Measures In addition to presenting financial results that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted principles in the United States ('GAAP'), we have included in this release all of the following non-GAAP financial measures—EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, Adjusted operating and administrative expenses, Adjusted selling and marketing expenses, Adjusted general and administrative expenses and Adjusted research and development expenses—which are financial measures that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating our business and the underlying trends that are affecting our performance. The Company has included non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. We include these non-GAAP financial measures in this release because management uses them to assess our performance. We believe they reflect the underlying trends and indicators of our business and allow management to focus on the most meaningful indicators of our continuous operational performance. Although we believe these measures are useful for investors for the same reasons, readers of the financial statements should note that these measures are not a substitute for GAAP financial measures or disclosures. Each of the above measures is not a recognized term under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income (loss), or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. Such measures are presented for supplemental information purposes only, have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as substitute measures for our results as reported under GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, and our use of these measures varies from others in our industry. Such measures are not intended to be a measure of cash available for management's discretionary use, as they may not capture actual cash obligations associated with interest payments, taxes and debt service requirements. Because of these limitations, we rely primarily on our GAAP results and use these non-GAAP measures only supplementally. See 'Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures' in the 'Supplemental Information' section further below and 'Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Financial Measures' in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP. Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2026. We provide this non-GAAP measure to investors on a prospective basis for the same reasons (set forth above) that we provide it to investors on a historical basis. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of our forward-looking estimate of fiscal year 2026 net income (loss) to a forward-looking estimate of fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA because certain information needed to make a reasonable forward-looking estimate of net income (loss) for fiscal year 2026 is unreasonably difficult to predict and estimate and is often dependent on future events that may be uncertain or outside of our control. In addition, we believe such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our future financial results. Our forward-looking estimates of both GAAP and non-GAAP measures of our financial performance may differ materially from our actual results and should not be relied upon as statements of fact.
