Excluding acquisitions and currency impact, revenue rose 7% for the quarter. Wiley recorded a favorable FX variance of $16.7 million in Revenue, $3.7 million in Adjusted EBITDA, and $0.05 in Adjusted EPS.
Revenue
- Research Publishing & Platforms rose 14% as reported, 10% at constant currency and 5% excluding acquisitions, driven by strong growth in open research, platforms and corporate sales.
- Academic & Professional Learning grew 10% as reported and 7% at constant currency, driven by strong growth in digital courseware and professional publishing, accompanied by further recovery in corporate training.
- Education Services increased 16% as reported and 13% at constant currency, driven by growth in university services (formerly OPM) and talent development (formerly mthree).
Adjusted EBITDA
- Research Publishing & Platforms rose 12% at constant currency primarily driven by revenue growth.
- Academic & Professional Learning rose 37% at constant currency, reflecting revenue growth and continued business optimization gains.
- Education Services declined 21% at constant currency due to higher marketing costs and investments in growth initiatives.
- Adjusted Corporate Expenses were up 18% mainly due to higher unallocated benefit costs.
EPS
- GAAP EPS was $0.24 as compared to $0.29 in the prior year period, primarily reflecting non-cash deferred tax expense of $21 million arising from an increase in the UK corporate income tax rate from 19% to 25% effective April 2023.
- Adjusted EPS of $0.54 was up 17% at constant currency, driven by higher adjusted EBITDA and a lower adjusted effective tax rate.
Adjusted EPS Change
Going forward, Wiley’s Adjusted EPS metric will exclude the impact of certain non-cash items directly related to acquisitions, most notably the amortization of acquired intangible assets. The Company does not consider these non-cash items to be indicative of its ongoing operating performance. For the first quarter, under the new measurement, Adjusted EPS (excluding the impact of amortization of intangibles) was $0.85 compared to $0.67 in the prior year period. See the Adjusted EPS reconciliation table toward the end of this release for more information.
Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and Capital Allocation
- Net debt-to-EBITDA ratio (trailing twelve months) at quarter-end was 2.0, even with the year-ago period.
- Net Cash Used in Operating Activities was $85 million compared to $121 million in the prior year period, with the $36 million improvement driven by higher cash earnings and favorable changes in working capital. Note, Wiley’s regular use of cash in the first half of the fiscal year is driven by the timing of cash collections for annual journal subscriptions, which are concentrated in the third and fourth fiscal quarters.
- Free Cash Flow less Product Development Spending was a use of $108 million as compared to a use of $145 million in the prior year, an improvement of $37 million.
- Dividends: In June, Wiley raised its dividend for the 28th consecutive year. The current quarterly dividend is equivalent to an annual dividend of $1.38 per share, an increase from $1.37 per share in Fiscal 2021.
- Share Repurchases: The Company utilized approximately $7.4 million to repurchase approximately 130,000 shares at an average cost per share of $56.88.
FISCAL YEAR 2022 OUTLOOK
The Company is reaffirming its full year outlook and adding the newly defined Adjusted EPS metric. Going forward, Wiley will discontinue reporting on the former Adjusted EPS metric.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Wiley provides non-GAAP financial measures and performance results such as “Adjusted EPS,” “EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Contribution to Profit,” “Adjusted Income before Taxes,” “Adjusted Income Tax Provision,” “Adjusted Effective Tax Rate,” “Free Cash Flow less Product Development Spending,” “organic revenue,” and results on a Constant Currency basis to assess underlying business performance and trends. Management believes non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the impact of restructuring charges and credits and certain other items, and the impact of acquisitions provide a useful comparable basis to analyze operating results and earnings. See the reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures and explanations of the uses of non- GAAP measures in the supplementary information. We have not provided our 2022 outlook for the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measures, as they are not available without unreasonable effort due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to certain items, including restructuring charges and credits, gains and losses on foreign currency, and other gains and losses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could be material to our consolidated results computed in accordance with US GAAP.

| Notes: | ||
| (A) | The gain on sale of certain assets is due to the sale of our world languages product portfolio which was included in our Academic & Professional Learning segment and resulted in a pretax gain of approximately $3.8 million during the three months ended July 31, 2021. | |
| (B) | On June 10, 2021, the UK officially increased its corporate tax rate from 19% to 25% effective April 1, 2023. This resulted in a $20.7 million non-cash deferred tax expense from the re-measurement of the Company’s applicable UK net deferred tax liabilities during the three months ended July 31, 2021. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the UK officially enacted legislation that increased its statutory rate from 17% to 19%. This resulted in a $6.7 million non-cash deferred tax expense from the re-measurement of the Company’s applicable UK net deferred tax liabilities during the three months ended July 31, 2020. | |
| (C) | For the three months ended July 31, 2021, substantially all of the tax impact was from deferred taxes. For the three months ended July 31, 2020, the tax impact was $0.2 million from current taxes offset by $0.1 million from deferred taxes. | |
| (1) See Explanation of Usage of Non-GAAP Performance Measures included in this supplementary information for additional details on the reasons why management believes presentation of each non-GAAP performance measure provides useful information to investors. The supplementary information included in this press release for the three months ended July 31, 2021 is preliminary and subject to change prior to the filing of our upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. | ||

| Notes: |
| (A) Reflects the amortization of intangible assets established on the opening balance sheet for an acquired business. This includes the amortization of intangible assets such as developed technology, customer relationships, tradenames, etc., which is reflected in the “Amortization of intangible assets” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income. It also includes the amortization of acquired product development assets, which is reflected in “Cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income. |
| (B) For Fiscal Year 2020, represents the impact of using diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (56.7 million shares for the year ended April 30, 2020) included in the Non-US GAAP Adjusted EPS calculation in order to apply the dilutive impact on adjusted net income due to the effect of unvested restricted stock units and other stock awards. This impact occurs when a US GAAP net loss is reported and the effect of using dilutive shares is antidilutive. |
| (C) These adjustments substantially impacted deferred taxes. |
| (D) These adjustments impacted deferred taxes. |
| (E) The tax impact was $8.4 million from current taxes and $5.6 million from deferred taxes in the three months ended October 31, 2020 and the year ended April 30, 2021. |
| (1) See Explanation of Usage of Non-GAAP Performance Measures included in this supplementary information for additional details on the reasons why management believes presentation of each non-GAAP performance measure provides useful information to investors. The supplementary information included in this press release for the three months ended July 31, 2021 is preliminary and subject to change prior to the filing of our upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
