John Wiley & Sons, Inc. reported its Q1 FY2027 financial results for the three months ended July 31, 2026.

10-Q Financial Filing Analysis for Scholastic (2026-09-25)
Scholastic Corporation reported its Q1 FY2027 financial results for the quarter ended August 31, 2026, posting consolidated revenues of $216.8 million, down 3.9% from $225.6 million in the prior-year period. The revenue decline was primarily driven by continued spending pressure across school and district budgets impacting the Education segment (down $9.7 million to $30.4 million) and non-repeating co-edition trade sales, partially offset by a 47.8% revenue expansion in the Entertainment segment to $20.1 million. Operating loss held flat year-over-year at $(92.2) million, reflecting standard summer seasonality in school channels and higher rent expenses from prior sale-leasebacks, balanced by $6.6 million in IEEPA tariff refunds and lower severance costs. Net loss was $(71.2) million, yielding a diluted loss per share of $(3.77), impacted by a reduced share count following ongoing stock repurchases.
10-K Financial Filing Analysis for Scholastic (2026-07-24)
Scholastic Corporation reported its annual results for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, generating consolidated revenue of $1,581.9 million, down 2.7% year-over-year compared to $1,625.5 million in fiscal 2025. The top-line decline was primarily driven by lower sales in the Education segment (-13.6% to $267.6 million) due to persistent volatility and constraints in school and district funding for supplemental curriculum materials, alongside softer trade revenues. These headwinds were partially offset by revenue growth in School Reading Events book fairs and expanded Entertainment production services following the full-year contribution of 9 Story Media Group. Despite revenue contraction, operating income remained stable at $15.2 million versus $15.8 million in the prior year, bolstered by disciplined cost management. Net income surged to $56.7 million (diluted EPS of $2.34) from a net loss of $1.9 million, largely driven by a $99.7 million pre-tax gain on sale-leaseback transactions involving its New York headquarters and Missouri distribution facility, which funded over $285 million in capital returns via tender offers, buybacks, and dividends.
