Wiley (NYSE: WLY), one of the world’s largest publishers and a global leader in scientific research and career-connected education, today announced results for the third quarter ended January 31, 2023.
*GAAP Results: Revenue of $491 million (-5% vs. prior year), Operating loss of $67 million (-$113M vs. prior year), and EPS loss of $1.29 (-$1.92 vs. prior year). Losses primarily due to non-cash goodwill impairment in Education Services/University Services and restructuring charges
*Adjusted Results at constant currency: Revenue of $491 million (-2% vs. prior year), Adjusted EBITDA of $98 million (-3% vs. prior year), and Adjusted EPS of $0.85 (-9% vs. prior year)
*Fiscal 2023 Outlook: Reduced to reflect increased Academic headwinds and a publishing pause in a Hindawi special issues program
*Accelerating wide-ranging simplification and optimization efforts to drive meaningful margin improvement
“Our third quarter results and revised full year outlook are clearly below our expectations,” said Brian Napack, President and CEO. “While our core business and markets are strong, we’ve been challenged this year by unpredictable market headwinds and an unplanned publishing pause at Hindawi. Looking ahead, we are now accelerating and expanding our work to create a more-focused Wiley that drives consistent growth with fewer moving parts and greater profitability.”
