McGraw Hill Billings Rise 42% in Q1 of Fiscal 2023, Driven by K-12 Performance

Q1 results driven by strong K-12 adoption performance and multiyear COVID-related fiscal stimulus available to school districts

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- McGraw Hill today reported significant growth in its Q1 fiscal 2023 results driven by strong performance in its K-12 business unit. Total Q1 billings were up 42% compared to the same quarter last year, rising to $543 million. Digital billings grew by $63 million in the quarter, demonstrating the company's ongoing digital transformation with total annualized digital billings now exceeding $1.2 billion. Adjusted EBITDA increased 59% year-over-year, rising to $203 million for the quarter.

Leading performance in key K-12 English language arts and math adoptions as well as continued benefits from multiyear COVID-related fiscal stimulus programs contributed to the strong K-12 performance.

In a seasonally small quarter, Higher Education billings declined 4%, aligned with enrollment declines nationally. Inclusive Access billings continued to grow, up 8 percent for the quarter when compared to last year as institutions look to reduce costs for students. Inclusive Access provides course materials to students by the first day of class at a cost that is as much as 70% lower than traditional print.

McGraw Hill's International unit performed well with billings growth of 7% compared to prior year after adjusting for the impact of foreign exchange rates.
