Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Gross margin expanded 320 basis points to 64.7% in Q2 2026.
  • Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed 68% to $0.9 million from $2.7 million, ahead of the midpoint of guidance.

Risks & pressure points

  • Full-year 2026 revenue guidance was cut to $168M-$175M from $180M-$190M due to the VT4S wind-down and First Tutors exit.
  • Full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA outlook lowered to negative $4 million to approximately breakeven, excluding exit costs.
  • Learning Memberships of 29.1 thousand were down 5% year over year and remain an objective to return to durable growth.
  • Net loss of $6.9 million, though improved from $12.0 million, remained a loss.
