Results Positively Impacted by 2015 Debt Refinancing
Reaffirming Full Year Outlook for Bookings, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Income Growth
DALLAS, May 05, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cambium Learning® Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABCD) (the “Company”), a leading educational solutions and services company committed to helping all students reach their full potential, announced today financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2016.
“Because the first quarter is seasonally the smallest of any year, historically representing less than 15% of full-year Bookings, it is generally not indicative of full-year trends. Therefore, while Bookings in our largest segments did get off to a slow start, our Q1 performance does not change our full-year outlook,” said John Campbell, Chief Executive Officer of Cambium Learning Group. “Our strategic progress so far this year in our development, marketing, and sales initiatives remains on track with our technology-enabled transformation, our second quarter is shaping up to be stronger, and we are gaining momentum for the upcoming school year. We therefore reiterate our unchanged full-year guidance of approximately 20% Bookings growth for Learning A-Z®, 1%-5% Bookings growth for Voyager Sopris Learning™, and 10%-20% Bookings growth for ExploreLearning®.”
First Quarter 2016 Financial Highlights
For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company reported the following financial results:

Cambium Learning Group’s business is highly seasonal; the first quarter historically represents less than 15% of Bookings, which tend to build through the second quarter and peak during the third quarter, representing by far the preponderance of Bookings, revenue, and income each year. As a result of seasonality, the Company has historically reported a net loss and negative Cash Income for the first quarter.
- Bookings for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 decreased by 4% to $21.3 million compared with $22.1 million in the first quarter of 2015.
- GAAP net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 increased by 7% to $33.7 million compared with $31.5 million in 2015. Although Bookings declined in the quarter, GAAP net revenues include a significant amount of recognition generated from prior period Bookings. GAAP net revenues by segment for the first quarter of 2016, and the change from the first quarter of 2015, were as follows:
- Learning A–Z—$15.7 million, increased $2.8 million or 22%
- Voyager Sopris Learning—$12.3 million, decreased ($1.4) million or (10%)
- ExploreLearning—$5.6 million, increased $0.8 million or 17%
- Adjusted EBITDA was $6.4 million, in line with 2015 as the increase in GAAP net revenues is offset by strategic investments into high-return, technology-enabled opportunities through segment-specific development, marketing and sales programs to support strong full-year and long-term growth.
- Cash Income was ($10.8) million compared to ($7.3) million reported in the first quarter of 2015, due to lower Bookings in the first quarter of 2016 and higher expenses due to the ramp up of investments to support growth. Capital expenditures reflect planned investments in product development and totaled $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2016 versus $4.8 million in the first quarter of 2015.
- The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4.9 million at March 31, 2016. For the first quarter of 2016, cash used in operations was $8.3 million, cash used in investing activities was $5.0 million, and cash provided by financing activities was $9.6 million. At March 31, 2016, the principal amount of term loans outstanding was $104.0 million and the revolving credit facility outstanding was $10.5 million.
- The Company reported a net loss of $0.1 million during the first quarter 2016 compared to a $2.5 million net loss in the first quarter of 2015. Net interest expense was $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, down $1.9 million from the first quarter 2015 as a result of the debt refinancing completed in December 2015.
First Quarter 2016 Segment Highlights
Bookings, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Income changes by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the same period of 2015 were:
Q1 - 2016 % Change | |||||||||
Bookings | Adjusted EBITDA | Cash Income | |||||||
Learning A-Z | (3 | )% | 15 | % | (197 | )% | |||
Voyager Sopris Learning | (13 | )% | (99 | )% | (79 | )% | |||
ExploreLearning | 64 | % | 21 | % | 25 | % | |||
Shared Services | 1 | % | (1 | )% | |||||
Cambium Learning Group, Inc. | (4 | )% | 1 | % | (49 | )% | |||
Bookings decreased 4% for the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015. By segment:
- Learning A-Z reported a 3% Bookings decrease compared to prior year, attributable to a higher number of early renewals in late 2015 and slower first quarter pacing in 2016. Full-year expectations for Bookings growth of approximately 20% for Learning A-Z remain unchanged, with growth anticipated to accelerate in the second or third quarter of the year.
- Voyager Sopris Learning reported a 13% decrease for the first quarter of 2016 versus prior year. First quarter 2015 pacing was stronger than normal in this segment due to timing of sales, representing 17% of full-year Bookings versus 14% in 2014 and 2013. Pacing in 2016 is expected to align more closely to historical patterns. Full-year expectations for Bookings growth between 1% and 5% for Voyager Sopris Learning remain unchanged, with growth beginning in the second or third quarter of the year.
- ExploreLearning experienced 64% growth in Bookings for the first quarter of 2016 versus prior year. As expected, first quarter 2016 Bookings were favorably impacted by timing of renewals, which tend to fluctuate in this segment from quarter to quarter, and also from strong momentum from Reflex® and the Gizmos® simulations which are now upgraded to HTML5. Full-year expectations for Bookings growth between 10% and 20% for ExploreLearning remain unchanged, as pacing for the first quarter is strong but attributable in large part to timing of sales.
- Technology-enabled Bookings represented 57% of total first quarter 2016 Bookings versus 60% of total first quarter 2015 Bookings, due to the slow first quarter pacing in the Learning A-Z and Voyager Sopris Learning segments.
2016 Outlook
Mr. Campbell concluded, “We are focused on our full-year objectives and the solid execution of our development, marketing and sales initiatives as we progress toward the seasonally more significant quarters leading up to the new school year. We are excited about our 2016 prospects and the completion of our technology-enabled transformation this year.”
The Company’s technology-enabled products continue to receive industry recognition. Cambium Learning Group recently received 13 Best Educational Software (BESSIE) awards sponsored by The ComputED Gazette, including 10 awards for Learning A-Z, spanning six of its products, two awards for ExploreLearning, and one award for Voyager Sopris Learning. The Company’s products are also finalists for 11 Software and Information Industry Association SIIA CODiE Awards, with winners to be announced later this month.
Company expectations for 2016 are unchanged and include the following:
- Learning A-Z: The Company expects Learning A-Z to continue to show strong double-digit Bookings growth in 2016, estimated at approximately 20%, with consistent Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Income margins. Learning A-Z will continue to make aggressive investments in development, marketing and sales to fuel future growth. Capital expenditures for product development are expected to be roughly $8.0 million in 2016.
- Voyager Sopris Learning: The Company expects this segment to return to top line growth in 2016, with a slight Bookings increase — likely in the 1% to 5% range — as the growth of newer and technology-enabled solutions is expected to outpace the continued decline of legacy print-based products.
Voyager Sopris Learning plans to continue to maintain its more effective cost structure, but in 2016 will be primarily focused on its return to growth. Voyager Sopris Learning plans to make investments in this growth, especially in sales and marketing, to fuel the success of the newer and technology-enabled solutions and to support the launch of Velocity in the second quarter of the year. As such, the 2016 Cash Income dollars and margin are expected to remain relatively consistent or increase slightly compared with 2015. GAAP net revenue growth will be slowed by the continued transition to technology-enabled subscription solutions, which are generally recognized over the subscription period rather than up front like print orders. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA dollars and margin are expected to decline in 2016. Capital expenditures for product development are expected to be roughly $7.5 million in 2016.
- ExploreLearning: The Company expects ExploreLearning Bookings growth to accelerate in 2016, as the entire library of Gizmos simulations is now upgraded to HTML5 and Reflex continues to show strong momentum. The Bookings growth is expected to range between 10% and 20%. Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Income margins are expected to grow slightly in 2016, as this segment gains scale but continues to invest aggressively in development, marketing and sales. Capital expenditures for product development are expected to be roughly $2.5 million in 2016.
- Companywide: The Company expects low double-digit Bookings and Adjusted EBITDA growth, and expects Cash Income growth to meet or exceed the Bookings growth rate. Overall capital expenditures are expected to range between $21 million and $22 million, given product development plans as noted above, plus roughly $3.0 million of general capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Bookings, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Income are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly named, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because they reflect the underlying performance of the ongoing operations of the Company and provide investors with a view of the Company’s operations from management’s perspective. Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Income remove significant purchase accounting, non-operational, or certain non-cash items from earnings. The Company uses Bookings, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Income to monitor and evaluate the operating performance of the Company and as the basis to set and measure progress toward performance targets, which directly affect compensation for employees and executives. The Company generally uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance and not as measures of the Company’s liquidity. The Company’s presentation of Bookings, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Income should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual, non-operational, or non-cash items.
