**Scholastic Reports Fiscal 2026 Third Quarter Results**

Board Authorizes Planned $200 Million Modified Dutch Auction Tender Offer as Part of $300 Million Total Share Repurchase Authorization

Company Establishes Long-Term Net Leverage Target of 2.0-2.5x Adjusted EBITDA, Consistent with Disciplined Approach to Balance Sheet Management and Shareholder Returns

**New York – March 19, 2026** – Scholastic Corporation (NASDAQ: SCHL), the global children's publishing, education and media company, today reported financial results for the Company's fiscal third quarter ended February 28, 2026.

Peter Warwick, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Last quarter Scholastic made significant progress in its ongoing plan to enhance shareholder value, including optimizing our balance sheet with over $400 million in net proceeds from two sale-leaseback transactions and advancing our strategy to drive long-term growth and margin expansion. After returning over $147 million to shareholders through open-market share repurchases since December, our Board has additionally authorized a $200 million "modified Dutch auction tender offer" anticipated to be launched in the coming days. This is a core part of a new $300 million share repurchase authorization that, underscores our confidence in Scholastic's long-term opportunity.

"Also in the third quarter, Scholastic's children's publishing, entertainment and distribution businesses continued to prove their strength, led by solid performance in Book Fairs, and underpinned by our iconic franchises across formats and platforms, our proprietary school-based channels and an integrated media business, which is rapidly expanding our reach and access to kids and families on screens and digitally. Looking ahead, our upcoming releases and media slate reinforce the depth and durability of our franchise portfolio and support sustained growth.

"In Education, we are making meaningful progress in the transformation of the division, as performance trends improved sequentially and year-over-year declines again moderated, despite continued funding volatility for schools and districts. We are benefiting from a focused strategy, execution and a lower cost structure, positioning the business for renewed growth as market conditions improve and go-to-market execution accelerates.

"Third quarter performance was consistent with expectations, reflecting the seasonal cadence of our business. Book Fairs performed solidly in the quarter, while Trade results reflected expected publishing variability compared to the prior year. Looking to the remainder of the fiscal year, we remain focused on maximizing shareholder value, disciplined execution and accelerating profitability, as we position the company for growth in fiscal 2027 and fulfill our mission to help children read, learn and thrive."

**Outlook**

The Company has reaffirmed its outlook for full-year Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow (both defined in the accompanying tables) which include adjustments for the sale-leasebacks of its major real estate assets. The outlook for full-year Adjusted EBITDA remains $146 million to $156 million, including the $14 million partial-year impact from these highly accretive transactions on rental income and expense. Fiscal 2026 free cash flow is forecasted to exceed $430 million, reflecting proceeds from the sale of the Company's real estate assets.

The Company expects full-year revenue to be approximately flat with the prior year, reflecting year-to-date softness in Education and strong comps in Trade a year ago.

**Revenues** decreased 2% to $329.1 million, primarily reflecting lower revenues in the *Children's Book Publishing and Distribution* and *International* segment due to the timing of publishing releases compared to the prior year, partly offset by higher revenues in the *Entertainment* segment.

**Operating loss** increased 13% to $26.9 million in the quarter compared to $23.9 million a year ago, including $2.6 million and $3.0 million in one-time charges in each period, respectively. Excluding one-time charges in both periods, operating loss increased $3.4 million to $24.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure of operations explained in the accompanying tables) was $0.0 million in the quarter compared to $6.0 million in the prior year period. Excluding the partial-year impact of the sale-leaseback transactions of $3.0 million on adjusted operating loss and $6.7 million on adjusted EBITDA in the current period, adjusted operating loss was $21.3 million and adjusted EBITDA was $6.7 million. These improved results primarily reflect higher profits in *Children's Book Publishing and Distribution* and operating performance in the *Education* segment reflecting continued cost discipline.

**Quarterly Results** 

*Children's Book Publishing and Distribution*

In the fiscal third quarter, the *Children's Book Publishing and Distribution* segment's revenues decreased 3% to $197.6 million. Book Fairs revenues were $113.3 million, up 2% from the prior year period, primarily driven by higher revenue per fair. Book Clubs revenues were $14.6 million, down modestly compared to $15.2 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting modestly lower participation. Consolidated Trade revenues were $69.7 million, down 10% from the prior year period, primarily reflecting the expected comparison with last year's publishing calendar, which benefited from a major *Dog Man*<sup>®</sup> release in the third quarter of fiscal 2025.

Segment operating income was $8.9 million, compared to $7.6 million, improving $1.3 million. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by higher revenues in Book Fairs and continued operating efficiencies.

*Education*

*Education* revenues decreased 2% to $56.1 million, reflecting continued challenging funding environment for schools and school districts, which has impacted spending on supplemental curriculum materials. Segment operating loss improved $1.7 million to $5.2 million, compared to segment operating loss of $6.9

million in the prior year period, reflecting an improved cost structure. The division continued to execute on its transformation through focused product, marketing and sales strategies with the long-term focus on cost discipline and regaining market share in core product segments, in anticipation of an expected market recovery.

*Entertainment*

*Entertainment* segment revenues increased 25% to $16.0 million, primarily reflecting higher episodic deliveries and production services revenues in the quarter. Segment operating loss improved to $3.5 million in the quarter compared to $3.9 million a year ago, including $1.0 million and $1.5 million in one-time charges in each period, respectively. Excluding one-time charges, adjusted operating loss increased $0.1 million.

*International*

*International* revenues decreased 7% to $58.7 million, excluding favorable foreign currency exchange of $3.5 million, reflecting the impact of the year-over-year timing of the *Dog Man*<sup>®</sup> publishing calendar. Segment operating loss was $4.7 million, compared to $2.1 million a year ago, including one-time charges of $0.1 million in the prior year period. Excluding one-time charges, adjusted operating loss increased by $2.7 million, primarily driven by lower revenues.

*Overhead*

Overhead costs were $22.4 million, which included one-time charges of $1.6 million, compared to $18.6 million in the prior year period, which included one-time charges of $1.4 million. Excluding one-time charges, adjusted overhead costs increased $3.6 million primarily reflecting higher lease expense and lower rental income of $3.0 million, associated with the company's sale-leaseback transactions.

During the quarter, the Company completed its sale-leaseback transactions, generating over $400 million in net proceeds. These transactions are expected to reduce fiscal 2026 operating income and Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $7 million and $14 million, respectively, on a partial-year basis.

Net cash used in operating activities was $30.5 million, compared to $12.0 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by higher tax payments related to the sale-leaseback transactions, partly offset by the timing of royalty payments. Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure of operations explained in the accompanying tables) was $407.0 million in fiscal 2026, compared to free cash flow use of $30.7 million in the prior period, reflecting over $400 million in net proceeds from the Company's sale-leaseback transactions closed during the quarter.

Net cash was $90.6 million compared to net debt of $189.4 million in the prior year period, primarily reflecting net proceeds from the Company's sale-leaseback transactions, repayment of the outstanding balance on its unsecured revolving credit facility and free cash flow over the prior twelve months, partially offset by capital returns to shareholders.

Since completing the sale-leaseback transactions in December, the Company has returned approximately $147.0 million to shareholders through open-market share repurchases. In the third quarter, the Company distributed $5.1 million in dividends.

Consistent with its disciplined approach to balance sheet management, including the recent sale-leaseback transactions, and to shareholder returns, the Company has established a long-term net leverage target of 2.0 to 2.5 times Adjusted EBITDA.

As a step toward that long-term goal and as announced today, the Company's Board of Directors has authorized a new $300 million share repurchase program, including a planned $200 million modified Dutch auction tender offer with a price range between $36 to $40 per share. The remaining portion of the authorization will be available for open-market repurchases.

**Revenues** of $1,105.8 million year to date deceased 1.0%, compared to $1,117.2 million in the prior year period. The modest decline primarily reflects lower supplemental curriculum and collections product sales in *Education* in a continued challenging funding environment, partly offset by strength in Book Fairs and the Company's major global publishing franchises.

**Operating loss** was $36.2 million year to date, compared to operating loss of $37.7 million a year ago, including $25.0 million and $10.1 million in one-time charges in each period, respectively. Excluding one-time charges, operating loss improved $16.4 million from a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.6 million to $66.8 million. Excluding the partial-year impact of the sale-leaseback transactions of $3.0 million on adjusted operating loss and $6.7 million on adjusted EBITDA in the current period, adjusted operating loss was $8.2 million and adjusted EBITDA was $73.5 million. These results primarily reflect higher revenues in the *Children's Book Publishing and Distribution* segment and a reduction in discretionary overhead expenses, which more than offset the impact of lower sales in *Education Solutions*.
