Kaplan International includes postsecondary education, professional training and language training businesses largely outside the United States. Kaplan International revenue increased 18% and 15% for the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively (increases of 19% each on a constant currency basis). The increases are due largely to growth at Pathways, Australia and Languages, partially offset by a decline at Singapore. Kaplan International reported operating income of $20.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. Operating income increased to $42.1 million in the first six months of 2023, compared to $39.6 million in the first six months of 2022. The improved results are due largely to improved results at Pathways and Australia, partially offset by declines at UK Professional and Singapore.

Higher Education includes the results of Kaplan as a service provider to higher education institutions. In the second quarter and first six months of 2023, Higher Education revenue increased 21% and 11%, respectively, due to an increase in the Purdue Global fee recorded. For the second quarter and first six months of 2023 and 2022, Kaplan recorded a portion of the fee with Purdue Global based on an assessment of its collectability under the TOSA. Enrollments at Purdue Global for the first half of 2023 increased 2% compared to the first half of 2022. The Company will continue to assess the collectability of the fee with Purdue Global on a quarterly basis to make a determination as to whether to record all or part of the fee in the future and whether to make adjustments to fee amounts recognized in earlier periods. Higher Education results increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 due to an increase in the Purdue Global fee recorded, and a decline in investment costs incurred related to other university agreements and other higher education development costs.

Supplemental Education includes Kaplan’s standardized test preparation programs and domestic professional and other continuing education businesses. Supplemental Education revenue declined 4% for the second quarter and first six months of 2023, driven mostly by softness in Real Estate, Securities and Medical Licensure test preparation, offset in part by growth in CFP and MCAT test preparation and publishing activities. Overall, demand for graduate and pre-college test preparation programs has declined due to the strength of U.S. employment markets and the decline in test-takers, while demand for professional programs remained stable. Operating results declined in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 due to lower revenues, partially offset by savings from reduced headcount.

Kaplan corporate and other represents unallocated expenses of Kaplan, Inc.’s corporate office, other minor businesses and certain shared activities. Kaplan corporate and other expenses increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, largely due to increased incentive compensation costs.

Television Broadcasting

Graham Media Group, Inc. owns seven television stations located in Houston, TX; Detroit, MI; Orlando, FL; San Antonio, TX; Jacksonville, FL; and Roanoke, VA, as well as SocialNewsDesk, a provider of social media management tools designed to connect newsrooms with their users. Revenue at the television broadcasting division decreased 3% to $118.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, from $122.4 million in the same period of 2022. The revenue decline is due primarily to a $2.5 million decline in political advertising revenue and a decline in national advertising revenue, partially offset by modest increases in digital advertising and retransmission revenues. Operating income for the second quarter of 2023 declined 16% to $33.2 million, from $39.7 million in the same period of 2022, due to reduced revenues and higher network fees.

Revenue at the television broadcasting division decreased 6% to $231.7 million in the first six months of 2023, from $245.8 million in the same period of 2022. The revenue decline is due primarily to winter Olympics and Super Bowl advertising at the Company’s NBC affiliates in the first quarter of 2022, a $3.5 million decline in political advertising revenue as well as modest declines in retransmission and digital advertising revenues. Operating income for the first six months of 2023 declined 22% to $61.8 million, from $79.6 million in the same period of 2022, due to reduced revenues and higher network fees. While per subscriber rates from cable, satellite and OTT providers have grown, overall cable and satellite subscribers are down due to cord cutting, resulting in retransmission revenue net of network fees in 2023 expected to be similar compared with 2022.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing includes four businesses: Hoover, a supplier of pressure impregnated kiln-dried lumber and plywood products for fire retardant and preservative applications; Dekko, a manufacturer of electrical workspace solutions, architectural lighting and electrical components and assemblies; Joyce/Dayton, a manufacturer of screw jacks and other linear motion systems; and Forney, a global supplier of products and systems that control and monitor combustion processes in electric utility and industrial applications.

Manufacturing revenues decreased 5% and 3% in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively. The revenue decline in the second quarter of 2023 is due primarily to lower revenues at Hoover and Dekko, partially offset by increased revenues at Forney. The revenue decline in the first six months of 2023 is due primarily to lower revenues at Hoover and Dekko, partially offset by increased revenues at Joyce. Revenues declined at Hoover due largely to lower wood prices, partially offset by increased product demand. Revenues declined at Dekko due largely to lower product demand, particularly in the commercial office electrical products sector. Overall, Hoover results included wood gains on inventory sales in the first half of 2023 and 2022, with gains in the first half of 2023 lower than the prior year. For the second quarter of 2023, Hoover results included wood gains on inventory sales, compared with wood losses on inventory sales in the second quarter of 2022. Manufacturing operating results increased in the second quarter of 2023, due primarily to improvements at Hoover, partially offset by a decline at Dekko. Manufacturing results increased for the first six months of 2023, due primarily to improvements at Hoover and Joyce, partially offset by declines at Dekko.

Healthcare

Graham Healthcare Group (GHG) provides home health and hospice services in seven states. GHG also provides other healthcare services, including nursing care and prescription services for patients receiving in-home infusion treatments through its 76.5% interest in CSI Pharmacy Holdings Company, LLC (CSI). In May 2022, GHG acquired two small businesses, one of which expanded GHG’s home health operations into Kansas and Missouri. In July 2022, GHG acquired a 100% interest in a multi-state provider of Applied Behavior Analysis clinics and in August 2022, GHG acquired two small businesses, which expanded GHG’s hospice services into Missouri and Ohio. Healthcare revenues increased 48% and 50% for the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively, largely due to significant growth at CSI and from businesses acquired in 2022, along with growth in home health and hospice services.

In 2022, GHG implemented a new pension credit retention program in order to improve employee retention and utilize the Company’s surplus pension assets. The GHG pilot program offers a pension credit up to $50,000 per employee, cliff vested after three years of continuous employment for certain existing employees and new employees hired from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. GHG recorded pension expense of $2.5 million and $6.7 million related to this program in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively.

The increase in GHG operating results in the second quarter of 2023 is due to improved results at CSI and in home health and hospice, partially offset by an increase in pension expense related to the new GHG pension credit retention program. The decline in GHG operating results in the first six months of 2023 is due to an increase in pension expense related to the new GHG pension credit retention program, partially offset by improved results at CSI and in home health and hospice. Excluding pension expense and net losses from newly acquired businesses, GHG operating results increased in the first six months of 2023 due to improved results at CSI and in home health and hospice. Adjusted operating cash flow (non-GAAP) at GHG increased to $13.2 million in the second quarter of

2023, from $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted operating cash flow (non-GAAP) at GHG increased to $22.6 million in the first six months of 2023, from $15.7 million in the first six months of 2022.

The Company also holds interests in four home health and hospice joint ventures managed by GHG, whose results are included in equity in earnings of affiliates in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded equity in earnings of$2.3 million and $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, from these joint ventures. The Company recorded equity in earnings of $5.0 million and $3.6 million for the first six months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.During the first quarter of 2022, GHG, through its Residential Home Health Illinois and Residential Hospice Illinois affiliates, acquired an interest in the home health and hospice assets of NorthShore University HealthSystem, an integrated healthcare delivery system serving patients throughout the Chicago, IL area. The transaction resulted in a decrease to GHG’s interest in Residential Hospice Illinois and a $0.6 million non-operating gain was recorded in the first quarter of 2022 related to the change in interest.

Automotive

Automotive includes six automotive dealerships in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area: Ourisman Lexus of Rockville, Ourisman Honda of Tysons Corner, Ourisman Jeep Bethesda, Ourisman Ford of Manassas, and Toyota of Woodbridge and Ourisman Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram (CDJR) of Woodbridge, which were acquired on July 5, 2022 from the Lustine Automotive Group. Christopher J. Ourisman, a member of the Ourisman Automotive Group family of dealerships, and his team of industry professionals operate and manage the dealerships; the Company holds a 90% stake.

Revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2023 increased significantly due to the acquisitions of the Toyota and CDJR dealerships and sales growth at the Ford, Honda and Lexus dealerships, partially offset by lower revenue at the Jeep dealership due to a decline in new vehicle sales. Additionally, all of the dealerships reported sales growth for services and parts. Operating results for the second quarter and first six months of 2023 improved due largely to the Toyota and CDJR acquisitions, and improved results at the Lexus and Honda dealerships, partially offset by declines at the Jeep dealership due primarily to declines in new vehicle sales and related margins, and declines at the Ford dealership in margins on new vehicle sales.

____________

(1)	Includes Society6 and Saatchi Art (formerly Leaf Marketplace) and Framebridge
(2)	Includes World of Good (formerly Leaf Media), Code3, Slate, Foreign Policy, Pinna and City Cast
(3)	Includes Clyde’s Restaurant Group, Decile and CyberVista

Overall, revenue from other businesses declined 16% and 12% in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively. Retail revenue declined in the first half of 2023 largely due to significantly lower revenue at Society6. Media revenue declined in the first half of 2023 due to lower revenue at World of Good and Code3, partially offset by revenue growth at Slate and Foreign Policy. Specialty revenue increased in the first half of 2023 due to revenue growth at Clyde’s Restaurant Group (CRG). Excluding the Leaf businesses, revenue from other businesses grew in the second quarter and first six months of 2023.

Overall, operating results at other businesses improved in the first six months of 2023 due to improved results at CRG, reduced losses at Framebridge, Slate, Decile and Foreign Policy, and a reduction in losses due to the sales of CyberVista and Pinna; partially offset by increased losses at the Leaf businesses, City Cast and Code3.

Leaf Group

On June 14, 2021, the Company acquired Leaf Group Ltd. (Leaf), a consumer internet company headquartered in Santa Monica, CA, that builds enduring, creator-driven brands that reach passionate audiences in large and growing lifestyle categories, including fitness and wellness (Well+Good and Livestrong.com), and home, art and design (Saatchi Art, Society6 and Hunker). In the second quarter of 2023, the Company restructured Leaf into three

stand-alone businesses: Society6 (formerly included in Leaf Marketplace), Saatchi Art (formerly included in Leaf Marketplace) and World of Good (formerly Leaf Media).

Revenue at each of the three Leaf businesses declined in the second quarter and first half of 2023, with substantial declines at Society6 and World of Good. Revenue decreases at Society6 are due to declines in traffic, conversion rates and related sales for both direct to consumer and business to business categories; revenue declines at World of Good are due to reduced traffic and the soft digital advertising market for both direct and programmatic categories. Overall, the Leaf businesses reported significant operating losses in each of the second quarters and first six months of 2023 and 2022, with an increase in operating losses in the first half of 2023.

In the first and second quarters of 2023, Leaf implemented a SIP to reduce the number of employees, which is being funded by the assets of the Company’s pension plan; $2.9 million and $3.9 million in related non-operating pension expense was recorded in the first and second quarters of 2023, respectively.

Clyde’s Restaurant Group

CRG owns and operates 12 restaurants and entertainment venues in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, including Old Ebbitt Grill and The Hamilton. CRG reported an operating profit for each of the second quarters and first six months of 2023 and 2022. Both revenues and operating results improved in the first half of 2023, due to strong guest traffic, modest price increases, and the absence of any significant adverse impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. Operating results in the second quarter of 2022 benefited from a favorable rent concession.

CRG recently announced plans to open new restaurants in Baltimore, MD; Washington, D.C.; and Reston, VA in early 2024, mid 2024 and early 2025, respectively.

Framebridge

Framebridge is a custom framing service company, headquartered in Washington, D.C., with 19 retail locations in the Washington, D.C., New York City, Atlanta, GA, Philadelphia, PA, Boston, MA and Chicago, IL areas and two manufacturing facilities in Kentucky and New Jersey. Framebridge continues to explore opportunities for further store expansion. Revenues increased modestly in the second quarter of 2023 but were flat for the first half of 2023, as Framebridge worked through a significant backlog of orders in the first quarter of 2022 that had built-up in the fourth quarter of 2021. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Framebridge successfully managed their production operations for timely completion of holiday orders without a significant backlog of orders going into the first quarter of 2023. Retail revenue increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2023 from same-store sales growth and operating additional retail stores compared to the same periods in 2022. Framebridge is an investment stage business and reported significant operating losses in the first six months of 2023 and 2022, with a reduction in losses in 2023.

Other

Other businesses also include Code3, a performance marketing agency focused on driving performance for brands though three core elements of digital success: media, creative and commerce; Slate and Foreign Policy, which publish online and print magazines and websites; and two investment stage businesses, Decile and City Cast. Slate, Foreign Policy and City Cast reported revenue increases in the first six months of 2023, while Code3 reported revenue declines. Losses from each of these five businesses in the first six months of 2023 adversely affected operating results.

Other businesses also included Pinna, which was sold in June 2023 when the Company entered into a merger agreement with Realm of Possibility, Inc. (Realm), a provider of audio entertainment services, to merge Pinna with Realm in return for a noncontrolling financial interest in the merged entity. In connection with the merger, the Company recorded a $10.0 million non-cash, non-operating gain related to the transaction. The Company held a noncontrolling interest in Realm prior to the transaction and continues to hold a noncontrolling interest in Realm following the transaction. The Company’s investment in Realm is reported as an equity method investment.

Other businesses also included CyberVista, which was sold in October 2022 when the Company announced a strategic merger of CyberVista and CyberWire, a B2B cybersecurity audio network to form a new parent company, N2K Networks. The Company’s investment in N2K Networks is reported as an equity method investment.

In the first and second quarters of 2023, Code3 implemented a SIP to reduce the number of employees, which is being funded by the assets of the Company’s pension plan; $1.2 million and $0.6 million in related non-operating pension expense was recorded in the first and second quarters of 2023, respectively.

The Company also holds interests in several other affiliates, including a number of home health and hospice joint ventures managed by GHG and two joint ventures managed by Kaplan.

Excluding these adjustments, the increase in net interest expense relates primarily to increased debt at the automotive dealerships and higher interest rates on the Company’s variable debt.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had $706.7 million in borrowings outstanding at an average interest rate of 6.0%, and cash, marketable equity securities and other investments of $813.7 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY

(Unaudited)

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) included in this press release, the Company has provided information regarding Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Net Income excluding certain items described below, reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

▪the ability to make meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s ongoing results;

▪the ability to identify trends in the Company’s underlying business; and

▪a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business.

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Net income, excluding certain items, should not be considered substitutes or alternatives to computations calculated in accordance with and required by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

The gains and losses on marketable equity securities relate to the change in the fair value (quoted prices) of its portfolio of equity securities. The mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the ownership portion of a group of minority shareholders at a subsidiary of the Company’s Healthcare business. The Company measures the redemption value of this minority ownership on a quarterly basis with changes in the fair value recorded as interest expense or income, which is included in net income for the period. The effect of gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest are not directly related to the core performance of the Company’s business operations since these items do not directly relate to the sale of the Company’s services or products. The accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) require that the Company include the gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest in net income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company excludes the gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest from the non-GAAP adjusted net income because these items are independent of the Company’s core operations and not indicative of the performance of the Company’s business operations.
