Adjusted EBITDA.
Revenue
|
•
|
Academic & Professional Learning declined
12% as reported and at constant currency mainly due to continued market pressures on print books and adverse COVID-19 impacts on Professional Learning, particularly in-person corporate training. In Education Publishing, digital content and
courseware growth accelerated while print textbooks continued to decline sharply.
|
|
•
|
Education Services increased 29% as reported
and at constant currency, driven by the three-month inorganic contribution from mthree (+$12 million) and organic growth of 4% in Online
Program Management (OPM) services.
|
Adjusted EBITDA
|
•
|
Research Publishing & Platforms grew 19%
at constant currency, reflecting revenue growth and lower discretionary spending.
|
|
•
|
Academic & Professional Learning declined
23% at constant currency, reflecting revenue performance, partly offset by lower discretionary spending.
|
|
•
|
Education Services grew from $0.4 million to
$8 million due to revenue growth and business optimization savings, notably improvement in student acquisition costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter was 13%.
|
|
•
|
Corporate Expenses declined 19% to $34 million mainly due to lower employee-related costs and professional fees.
|
EPS
|
•
|
GAAP EPS of $0.29 compared to $0.06 in prior
year period primarily reflected growth in Operating Income. Restructuring charges of $0.03 were lower by $0.11 from prior year but offset by a deferred tax charge of $0.12 in the current period related to a UK statutory rate increase.
|
|
•
|
Adjusted EPS (+124%) primarily reflected Adjusted Operating Income growth.
|
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
|
•
|
Net debt-to-EBITDA ratio (trailing twelve
months) at quarter-end was 2.0 as compared to 1.7 at the end of the year-ago period.
|
|
•
|
Available liquidity was approximately $750
million at quarter-end, including $101 million of cash on hand and $650 million of undrawn debt facilities.
|
Cash Flow and Return to Shareholders
|
•
|
Free Cash Flow less Product Development
Spending was a use of $145 million compared to a use of $125 million in the prior year. As a reminder, Wiley generated $173 million of Free Cash Flow in fiscal year 2020.
|
|
•
|
Quarterly dividend was raised for the 27th
consecutive year, declared on June 25, to $0.3425 per share on its Class A and Class B common stock.

ABOUT WILEY
Wiley drives the world forward with research and education. Through publishing, platforms and services, we help researchers, professionals,
students, universities, and corporations to achieve their goals in an ever-changing world. And for more than 200 years, we have delivered consistent performance to all our stakeholders. The Company's website can be accessed at www.wiley.com.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Wiley provides non-GAAP financial
measures and performance results such as “Adjusted EPS,” “Adjusted Revenue,” “Adjusted Operating Income,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted CTP,” “Free Cash Flow less Product Development Spending,” “organic revenue,” and results on a Constant Currency
basis to assess underlying business performance and trends. Management believes non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the impact of restructuring charges and credits and certain other items,
and the impact of acquisitions provide a useful comparable basis to analyze operating results and earnings. See the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures and explanations of the uses of non-GAAP measures in the supplementary information.

JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC.
|
|
Explanation of Usage of NON-GAAP Performance Measures
|
|
In this earnings release and supplemental information, management may present the following non-GAAP performance measures:
|
|
• Adjusted Earnings Per Share "(Adjusted EPS)";
|
|
• Free Cash Flow less Product Development Spending;
|
|
• Adjusted Revenue;
|
|
• Adjusted Operating Income and margin;
|
|
• Adjusted Contribution to Profit and margin;
|
|
• EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and margin;
|
|
• Organic revenue; and
|
|
• Results on a constant currency basis.
|
|
Management uses these non-GAAP performance measures as supplemental indicators of our operating performance and financial position as
well for internal reporting and forecasting purposes, when publicly providing its outlook, to evaluate the Company's performance and calculate incentive compensation. Non-GAAP performance measures do not have standardized meanings
prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial results under U.S. GAAP.
|
|
The Company presents these non-GAAP performance measures in addition to U.S. GAAP financial results because it believes that these
non-GAAP performance measures provide useful information to certain investors and financial analysts for operational trends and comparisons over time. The use of these non-GAAP performance measures may also provide a consistent
basis to evaluate operating profitability and performance trends by excluding items that we do not consider to be controllable activities for this purpose. For example:
|
|
• Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Contribution to Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and organic revenue provide a more comparable basis to analyze operating results
and earnings and are measures commonly used by shareholders to measure our performance.
|
|
• Free Cash Flow less Product Development Spending helps assess our ability, over the long term, to create value for our shareholders as it represents cash available to repay debt, pay common
stock dividends and fund share repurchases and acquisitions.
|
|
• Results on a constant currency basis removes distortion from the effects of foreign currency movements to provide better comparability of our business trends from period to period. We measure
our performance before the impact of foreign currency (or at “constant currency”), which means that we apply the same foreign currency exchange rates for the current and equivalent prior period.
|
|
In addition, the Company has historically provided these or similar non-GAAP performance measures and understands that some investors and
financial analysts find this information helpful in analyzing the Company's operating margins, and net income and comparing the Company's financial performance to that of its peer companies and competitors. Based on interactions
with investors, we also believe that the Company's non-GAAP performance measures are regarded as useful to our investors as supplemental to our U.S. GAAP financial results, and that there is no confusion regarding the adjustments
or our operating performance to our investors due to the comprehensive nature of our disclosures.
