"This quarter marks an inflection point for Chegg with our recent decisive action to streamline our structure, strengthen our balance sheet, and focus Chegg on the large and growing skilling market," said Dan Rosensweig, CEO and Executive Chairman of Chegg.

**<u>Prepared Remarks - Dan Rosensweig, CEO & Executive Chairman Chegg, Inc.</u>**

Thank you, Tracey. Hello and thank you everyone for joining Chegg's third-quarter 2025 earnings call.

Despite our current challenges, I'm honored to return as the CEO and Executive Chairman of Chegg. The board and I believe the company is undervalued and see a significant opportunity to rebuild and reinvent Chegg and return it to a growing company with strong adjusted EBITDA margins and cash flow. We split the company into two units: our growth business, Chegg Skilling, which we expect to have sustainable double-digit growth, and our legacy academic services, which will focus on generating cash. This new structure gives us the cash and assets we need to rebuild, and I firmly believe we will create significant long-term value for our shareholders.

It's clear that the rise of AI and the subsequent negative impact on traditional sources of traffic have disrupted almost every direct-to-consumer industry. We are dealing with these realities head on. Two weeks ago, we took decisive action, restructuring the company to enable our academic services to operate more efficiently and generate significantly more cash flow, while repositioning Chegg Skilling to become a larger, more profitable B2B SaaS business. This was hard because of the impact on a large number of employees, but it was a necessary and positive decision for the future of Chegg.

Our clarity of purpose and lower cost structure is energizing and gives us the ability to invest in our skilling business, which is experiencing tailwinds, and already generating double digit growth. We're now in the right categories with the right business model, and are beginning to see momentum from our efforts.

The impact of AI has resulted in a large number of companies needing to reskill their employees, especially around AI. The skilling market is already large – more than $40 billion today – and has turned its attention to workforce, AI and language learning.

We start from a position of strength. We have two valuable skilling assets. The first in language learning, with Busuu, and the second in skills, with Chegg Skills. Busuu is helping the true language learner, differentiated by its focus on speaking, not just translation. Chegg Skills already has a strong catalog of courses on in-demand topics, which will only get stronger. We are combining them, investing in them, and over time, will expand with additional assets. We plan to report them as a single unit called Chegg Skilling for external revenue reporting, so you can track our progress and growth.

In that spirit, Chegg Skilling is ending 2025 with strong momentum, expecting 14% year over year growth and full year revenue of $70 million. Looking ahead, we expect the business to continue growing at a double-digit pace.

I've spent 42 years in the technology industry, and one constant has been that platform changes bring both incredible disruption and opportunity. We reinvented Chegg and created a bigger, more valuable company, and we can do it again. What started as a textbook rental company transformed into an education technology company that helped tens of millions of students succeed. Our next chapter, Chegg Skilling, is in a very large and growing market. We have the ability to use our skilling assets and our balance sheet to build a great company. And we are excited about the opportunities ahead.

I'm confident that Chegg will evolve and thrive and I am grateful for the opportunity to lead our team through the next chapter.

With that, I'll turn it over to David.

**<u>Prepared Remarks - David Longo, CFO Chegg, Inc.</u>**

Thank you, Dan and good afternoon.

Today, I will be presenting our financial performance for the third quarter of 2025, along with the company's outlook for the fourth quarter.

We delivered a good third quarter, surpassing our revenue expectations, and outperforming our adjusted EBITDA guidance by $5 million, as a direct result of our cost cutting and restructurings. With our strategic shift toward the large and growing skilling market, we are now well positioned to enter the next phase of our growth.

In the third quarter, total revenue was $78 million, a decrease of 42% year-over-year. Reduced traffic impacted our business in two key ways. First, it led to fewer subscribers and less subscription revenue. And second, within Skills and Other, it led to fewer sessions, which significantly reduced advertising revenue.

------

As Dan mentioned earlier, going forward we will break out our Skilling Business, which only includes Busuu and Chegg Skills, so you can track our progress.

Moving on to expenses, non-GAAP operating expenses were $49 million in the quarter, a reduction of approximately $41 million, or 46%, year-over-year, driven by the execution of our restructurings. Our third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $13 million, representing a margin of 17%.

To position ourselves for future growth, we overhauled our cost structure to be more efficient and allow us to invest in future growth. To put this in context, in 2024, our total non-GAAP expenses were $536 million, and we're on track to reduce them to under $250 million by 2026.

Our investments in AI have enabled us to continue to reduce our CapEx, which was $6 million in Q3, down 63% year over year. We anticipate full-year 2025 CapEx of approximately $27 million, with a targeted further reduction of approximately 60% in 2026, while still delivering a high-quality experience that our students expect from us.

Free cash flow for the third quarter was negative $900 hundred thousand which was primarily impacted by a one-time $7.5 million settlement payment to the FTC and $5.5 million in severance payments related to our restructurings. Our company will continue to generate strong cash flow, although it will be temporarily affected by $15 to $19 million in cash expenditures for employee transition and severance costs associated with our recently announced restructuring. These payments will occur over the fourth and first quarters. Considering this, we are still on a path to generate meaningful free cash flow in 2026.

Looking at the balance sheet, we concluded the quarter with cash and investments of $112 million and a net cash balance of $49 million.

Looking ahead, and using our new revenue breakout, for Q4 guidance, we expect:

• $18 million of revenue from our Skilling business which represents an increase of 14% year over year;

• Total revenue between $70 and $72 million;

• Gross margin to be in the range of 57 to 58 percent;

• And adjusted EBITDA between $10 and $11 million.

In closing, the path has been difficult, but the outcome will be positive. We are now a more lean and efficient company with a Skilling business that is expected to grow 14% in Q4. We believe we are turning the corner and are on a path to future growth and profitability. We look forward to sharing more detail on our February earnings call, including greater visibility into our multi-year growth plan for skilling and how we intend to drive additional value in the years ahead.

With that, I will turn the call over to the operator for your questions.

**<u>Use of Non-GAAP Measures</u>**

To supplement Chegg's financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP weighted average shares, non-GAAP net income per share, and free cash flow. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, "Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA," "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures," "Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow," and "Reconciliation of Forward-Looking Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA."

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Chegg defines (1) adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, adjusted for share-based compensation expense, other income, net, acquisition-related compensation costs, impairment expense, restructuring charges, content and related assets charge and transitional logistic charges; (2) non-GAAP cost of revenues as cost of revenues excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related compensation costs, restructuring charges, content and related assets charge, and transitional logistic charges; (3) non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related compensation costs, restructuring charges, content and related assets charge, and transitional logistic charges; (4) non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by net revenues, (5) non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related compensation costs, restructuring charges, impairment expense, impairment of lease related assets, and loss contingency; (6) non-GAAP income from operations as loss from operations excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related compensation costs, restructuring charges, impairment expense, content and related assets charge, impairment of lease related assets, loss contingency, and transitional logistic charges; (7) non-GAAP net income as net loss excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related compensation costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, restructuring charges, impairment expense, content and related assets charge, impairment of lease related assets, gain on sale of strategic equity investment, gain on early extinguishment of debt, loss contingency and transitional logistic charges; (8) non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding as weighted average shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of shares for stock plan activity and shares related to our convertible senior notes, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding; (9) non-GAAP net income per share is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding; and (10) free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment. To the extent additional significant non-recurring items arise in the future, Chegg may consider whether to exclude such items in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses.

Chegg believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Chegg's performance by excluding items that may not be indicative of Chegg's core business, operating results or future outlook. Chegg management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Chegg's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods and believes that such measures enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of Chegg's performance to prior periods.

As presented in the "Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA," "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures," "Reconciliation of Forward-Looking Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA," and "Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow," tables below, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes or includes one or more of the following items:

*Share-based compensation expense.* 

*Amortization of intangible assets.*

Chegg amortizes intangible assets, including those that contribute to generating revenues, that it acquires in conjunction with acquisitions, which results in non-cash expenses that may not otherwise have been incurred. Chegg believes excluding the expense associated with intangible assets from non-GAAP measures allows for a more accurate assessment of its ongoing operations and provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results. No corresponding adjustments have been made related to revenues generated from acquired intangible assets.

*Acquisition-related compensation costs.*

Acquisition-related compensation costs include compensation expense resulting from the employment retention of certain key employees established in accordance with the terms of the acquisitions. In most cases, these acquisition-related compensation costs are not factored into management's evaluation of potential acquisitions or Chegg's performance after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to Chegg's core operating performance. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges can vary significantly based on the size and timing of acquisitions and the maturities of the businesses being acquired. Excluding acquisition-related compensation costs from non-GAAP measures provides investors with a basis to compare Chegg's results against those of other companies without the variability caused by purchase accounting.

*Amortization of debt issuance costs.*

The difference between the effective interest expense and the contractual interest expense are excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash expenses are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Chegg believes that the exclusion of the non-cash interest expense provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

*Content and related assets charge.*

The content and related assets charge represents a write off of certain content and related assets. The content and related assets charge is excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because it is the result of a discrete event that is not considered core-operating activities. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the content and related assets charge from non-GAAP financial measures because it enables the comparison of period-over-period operating results.

*Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments.*

We utilize a non-GAAP effective tax rate for evaluating our operating results, which is based on our current mid-term projections. This non-GAAP tax rate could change for various reasons including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, changes to our corporate structure and other significant events. Chegg believes that the inclusion of the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

*Restructuring charges.*

Restructuring charges represent expenses incurred in conjunction with a reduction in workforce. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude them from non-GAAP financial measures because they are nonrecurring and the result of an event that is

------

not considered a core-operating activity. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the restructuring charges from non-GAAP financial measures because it provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

*Impairment expense.*

Impairment expense represents the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude them from non-GAAP financial measures because they are the result of discrete events that are not considered core-operating activities and are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the impairment expense from non-GAAP financial measures because it provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

*Impairment of lease related assets.*

The impairment of lease related assets represents impairment charge recorded on the ROU asset and leasehold improvements associated with the closure of our offices. The impairment of lease related assets is the result of an event that is not considered a core-operating activity and we believe its exclusion provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

*Loss contingency.*

We record a contingent liability for a loss contingency related to legal matters when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. The loss contingency is excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are the result of discrete events that are not considered core-operating activities. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the loss contingency from non-GAAP financial measures because it enables the comparison of period-over-period operating results.

*Impairment of strategic equity investment.*

The impairment of strategic equity investment represents a one-time event to record an impairment charge on our strategic equity investment. The impairment of strategic equity investment is a non-cash expense and we believe the exclusion from non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period results.

*Gain on sale of strategic equity investment.*

The gain on sale of strategic equity investment represents a one-time event to record the sale of our equity investment in Sound Ventures. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude the gain from non-GAAP financial measure because it is the result of an event that is not considered a core-operating activity and we believe its exclusion provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

*Gain on early extinguishment of debt.*

The difference between the carrying amount of early extinguished debt and the reacquisition price is excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash gains are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Chegg believes that the exclusion of the gain on early extinguishment of debt provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

*Effect of shares for stock plan activity.*

The effect of shares for stock plan activity represents the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding.

*Effect of shares related to convertible senior notes.*

The effect of shares related to convertible senior notes represents the dilutive impact of our convertible senior notes, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding.

*Free cash flow.*

Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment. Chegg considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and

------

investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Chegg's business and make strategic acquisitions. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in Chegg's cash balance for the period.
