Wiley Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results
September 5, 2019John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (NYSE: JW-A and JW-B), a global research and education company, today announced results for the first quarter ended July 31, 2019.

GAAP results:  Revenue of $424 million (higher by $13 million, +3%), EPS of $0.06 (lower by $0.39 including a net restructuring charge impact of -$0.22) and Net Cash Used in Operating Activities of $94 million (improved $51 million)
Adjusted results excluding FX: Revenue +5% (+0.5% excluding acquisitions), EBITDA -18%, and EPS -53%
Free Cash Flow improvement of $45 million primarily driven by the timing of journal cash collections
Acquisition of Zyante (zyBooks) further positions Wiley as a leader in the fast-growing digital courseware market for computing and STEM

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY
“Our Research and Education Services segments demonstrated strong momentum in the first quarter,” said Brian Napack, Wiley’s President and CEO. “Softness in Education Publishing & Professional Learning revenue, in a seasonally smaller quarter for that segment, weighed on results overall.  That segment’s profit contribution was further impacted by investments in growth initiatives such as the acquisitions of zyBooks and Knewton, which significantly expanded our digital courseware offerings and adaptive learning technologies. Cash flow performance for the quarter was very favorable, consistent with our expectations for clearing the Q4 backlog of calendar year 2019 journal subscription collections.  We remain confident in our full year outlook.” 

NEW SEGMENT REPORTING
To reflect shifts in its management structure, the Company has implemented a new reporting structure comprised of three reportable segments: (1) Research Publishing & Platforms, which includes the Research publishing and Atypon businesses; (2) Education Publishing & Professional Learning, which is the former “Publishing” segment combined with our corporate training businesses – previously noted as Professional Assessment and Corporate Learning; and (3) Education Services, which is the online program management business.  Please see the attached financial schedules for more detail, including restated segment results for the prior year.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY
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,” “inorganic contribution,” 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, 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 accompanying this press release.

Wiley recorded foreign currency variances in the quarter of $6 million unfavorable in revenue, $0.7 million favorable in operating income, $0.2 million favorable in EBITDA, and $0.01 favorable in EPS.

Revenue growth in Research Publishing & Platforms and Education Services was offset by a decline in Education Publishing & Professional Learning.
o
Research Publishing & Platforms Revenue increased 2% on a reported basis and 3% on a constant currency basis driven by sustained growth in Research Publishing (+3%) and Atypon platform services (+10%).
o
Education Publishing & Professional Learning Revenue declined 7% on a reported basis and 6% on a constant currency basis, mainly due to declines in the books businesses and test prep, partially offset by growth in corporate training.  On July 1, Wiley acquired Zyante (zyBooks), a leading provider of computer science and STEM education courseware, for $56 million in cash.
o
Education Services Revenue increased 69% (reported and constant currency), driven by the addition of Learning House (acquired November 2018) and organic growth of 9% at constant currency.
GAAP Operating Income decline included an $11 million restructuring charge in this period.  Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA declines were mainly due to investment in growth initiatives and technology, accompanied by higher operating expenses in Education Publishing.
o
Research Publishing & Platforms CTP declined 3% on a reported basis but rose 3% on an adjusted basis at constant currency.  Improved performance was driven by revenue growth.  Adjusted EBITDA rose 5% at constant currency.
o
Education Publishing & Professional Learning CTP declined 77% on a reported basis and 64% on an adjusted basis at constant currency due to the revenue decline, investments in growth initiatives, and costs associated with the Knewton and Zyante acquisitions.  Adjusted EBITDA declined 37% at constant currency.
o
Education Services CTP declined by $2 million to a loss of $7 million primarily due to $2 million in restructuring charges.  Adjusted EBITDA grew to $0.4 million from a loss of $1.8 million.
o
Corporate Expenses for the quarter increased 29% over prior year to $49 million.  At constant currency and excluding restructuring charges (credits), expenses rose 9%, driven mainly by an increase in costs associated with strategic planning and business optimization efforts.
Restructuring charges recorded in the quarter were $11 million for severance and other costs related to our multi-year business optimization program, for a year-over-year unfavorable cost variance of $17 million.
GAAP EPS decline reflected lower operating income, partially offset by foreign exchange gains and a lower effective tax rate.  Adjusted EPS decline was primarily due to lower adjusted operating income.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $94 million compared to a net use of $145 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by the timing of cash collections and payments.  Free Cash Flow less Product Development Spending was a use of $125 million compared to a use of $170 million in the prior year.  Generally, Cash From Operating Activities is a use of cash in the first half of Wiley’s fiscal year principally due to the timing of collections for annual journal subscriptions.  Capital expenditures, including Technology, Property, and Equipment and Product development spending, rose $6 million to $30 million due to increased investment in products and platforms.
Acquisitions:  Wiley spent $73 million in total on acquisitions in the quarter, including zyBooks and Knewton.  zyBooks and Knewton significantly expand Wiley’s market position in high-growth areas of education, including digital courseware and adaptive learning for high-demand disciplines and low-cost, high impact offerings.
Shareholder Return: In June, Wiley raised its dividend to $0.34 per share (+3% increase).  The Company repurchased 217,511 shares for a total of $10 million, with an average per share cost of $45.97.  Approximately 1.7 million shares remain in the current authorization for share repurchases.

FISCAL YEAR 2020 OUTLOOK

See Explanation of Usage of Non-GAAP Measures included in this supplemental information.
               
(1) The supplementary information included in this press release for the three months ended July 31, 2019 is preliminary and subject to change prior to the filing of our upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 
(2) The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended July 31, 2018, includes a reclassification of $4.5 million between Operating Activities within the net change in operating assets and liabilities and Investing Activities related to costs to fulfill a contract and product development spending. In addition, for the three months ended July 31, 2018, amortization expense related to costs to fulfill a contract of $0.8 million was reclassified from amortization of product development spending to other non-cash charges (credits) within Operating Activities.

 


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 ("CTP") and margin;
        EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA;
        Inorganic contribution;
        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 to evaluate and calculate incentive compensation. Non-GAAP performance measures do not have standardized meanings prescribed by US 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 US GAAP.

The Company presents these non-GAAP performance measures in addition to 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 across accounting periods. The use of these non-GAAP performance measures provides 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 Profit, Adjusted Contribution to Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Inorganic contribution provide a 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 dividends and fund share repurchases and new 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 our non-GAAP performance measures are regarded as useful to our investors as supplemental to our 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.
