Q1 FY27 earnings call · Aug 13, 2026
Q1 FY27
TL;DR. McGraw Hill reported a strong fiscal Q1 2027, with revenue up 2.6% to $549.9 million, recurring revenue up 9.8%, and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 192 bps to 37.7%, beating company expectations. The company reaffirmed full-year FY2027 guidance as it awaits visibility on fall enrollment and K-12 award decisions.
Bullish
- + Recurring revenue grew 9.8% year-over-year, representing 77% of total revenue.
- + Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 192 basis points to 37.7%, with Adjusted EBITDA of $207.0 million.
- + Florida approved the company's Math program ahead of the upcoming fiscal 2028 adoption.
- + Moody's upgraded McGraw Hill's credit ratings in July 2026, reflecting a stronger financial profile.
Bearish
- − International revenue was impacted by Middle East shipment delays due to conflict.
- − Q1 K-12 outperformance partly reflected timing of print deliveries in June versus July, creating a pull-forward dynamic.
- − Higher Ed enrollment outlook still depends on a 1% growth assumption pending back-to-school visibility.
