Exhibit 99.1
Skillsoft Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter of Fiscal Year 2023
BOSTON – December 6, 2022 (updated December 7, 2022) – Skillsoft Corp. (NYSE: SKIL) (“Skillsoft” or the “Company”), a leading platform for transformative learning experiences, today announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 ended October 31, 2022.
“Q3 results were in-line with our expectations, and we reaffirmed our full year guidance as we continue to be on track for strong bookings and revenue in Q4 which is our largest quarter of the year,” said Jeffrey R. Tarr, Skillsoft’s Chief Executive Officer. “I’m also pleased that we were able to grow our Global Knowledge segment bookings sequentially in the quarter and sustain double digit revenue growth in our Codecademy business.”
Fiscal 2023 Third Quarter Select Metrics and Financials from Continuing Operations1
| ● | Skillsoft Content segment LTM Bookings were up 5% and down 4% in the quarter on a constant currency basis due primarily to a downgrade by one account. |
| ● | Global Knowledge segment Bookings were up 3% sequentially and down 16% on a constant currency year over year basis due to previously disclosed subsidy reductions at one partner. |
| ● | Total Bookings of $133 million were down 9% on a constant currency basis primarily due to the Global Knowledge segment. |
| ● | GAAP revenue was down 1% and down 3% on a pro forma constant currency basis primarily due to the Global Knowledge segment. |
| ● | LTM Content Dollar Revenue Retention was 98% and 96% in the quarter. |
| ● | GAAP net loss of $528 million included a $571 million goodwill impairment charge and Adjusted EBITDA was $28M. |
| ● | Ended the quarter with $175 million of cash on the balance sheet after retiring $31 million of our Term Loan B. |
Outlook Commentary
We are reaffirming our outlook but moving to a GAAP revenue presentation to conform to GAAP accounting not due to a change in the fundamentals of the business. As such our GAAP revenue guidance excludes approximately $25 million to $30 million of reseller fees. Our other ranges remain the same.
Full Year Fiscal 2023 Outlook2 ($ millions)
Bookings |
| $580 to $615 |
GAAP Revenue | | $520 to $550 |
Adjusted EBITDA | | $105 to $125 |
1 Growth calculated compared to the prior year noted on a pro forma presentation basis as if Skillsoft, Global Knowledge and Codecademy had merged on February 1, 2021. Constant currency results represent current year period local currency amounts translated at prior year foreign exchange rates. Continuing operations excludes SumTotal results for all periods presented as a result of the sale on August 15th.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND KEY PERFORMANCE METRICS
We track the non-GAAP financial measures and key performance metrics that we believe are key financial measures of our success. Non-GAAP measures and key performance metrics are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies comparable to us, many of which present non-GAAP measures and key performance metrics when reporting their results. These measures can be useful in evaluating our performance against our peer companies because we believe the measures provide users with valuable insight into key components of U.S. GAAP financial disclosures. For example, a company with higher U.S. GAAP net income may not be as appealing to investors if its net income is more heavily comprised of gains on asset sales. Likewise, excluding the effects of interest income and expense moderates the impact of a company’s capital structure on its performance. However, non-GAAP measures and key performance metrics have limitations as analytical tools. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures and key performance metrics may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. They are not presentations made in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not measures of financial condition or liquidity, and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or operating cash flows determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a result, these performance measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute analysis for, results of operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
We do not reconcile our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding U.S. GAAP measures, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible; and because not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is available to us without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. We provide non-GAAP financial measures that we believe will be achieved, however we cannot accurately predict all of the components of the adjusted calculations and the U.S. GAAP measures may be materially different than the non-GAAP measures.
Page 3 of 15
We disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures and key performance metrics in this press release because we believe these non-GAAP financial measures and key performance metrics provide meaningful supplemental information. Excluding the effects of these items in non-GAAP measures would assist investors in analyzing and assessing past and future operating performance and comparison of operating results across reporting periods.
| ● | Bookings - Bookings in any particular period represents the dollar value of orders received during that period and reflects (i) subscription renewals, upgrades, churn, and downgrades to existing customers, (ii) non- subscription services, and (iii) sales to new customers. Bookings generally represents a customer’s annual obligation (versus the life of the contract), and, for the subscription business, revenue is recognized for such bookings over the following 12 months. We use bookings to measure and monitor current period business activity with respect to our ability to sell subscriptions and services to our platform. Bookings are adjusted and presented on a pro forma basis as if Skillsoft, Global Knowledge and Codecademy had merged on February 1, 2021, to enhance comparability. |
| ● | Pro Forma Revenue – Pro Forma Revenue is defined as GAAP revenue adjusted in accordance with Regulation S-X, Article 11 as if Skillsoft, Global Knowledge and Codecademy had merged on February 1, 2021, to enhance comparability. Pro Forma Revenue is reconciled to the reported GAAP revenue for all the periods presented. |
| ● | Dollar Retention Rate (“DRR”) - For existing customers at the beginning of a given period, DRR represents subscription renewals, upgrades, churn, and downgrades in such period divided by the beginning total renewable base for such customers for such period. Renewals reflect customers who renew their subscription, inclusive of auto-renewals for multi-year contracts, while churn reflects customers who choose to not renew their subscription. Upgrades include orders from customers that purchase additional licenses or content (e.g., a new Leadership and Business module), while downgrades reflect customers electing to decrease the number of licenses or reduce the size of their content package. Upgrades and downgrades also reflect changes in pricing. We use our DRR to measure the long-term value of customer contracts as well as our ability to retain and expand the revenue generated from our existing customers. |
| ● | Adjusted Net Loss - Adjusted Net Loss is defined as GAAP Net loss excluding non-cash items, discrete and event-specific costs that do not represent normal, recurring, cash operating expenses necessary for our business operations, and certain accounting income and/or expenses that management believes are necessary to enhance the comparability and are useful in assessing our operating performance, include the following (all net of the related tax effects): |
o | Stock-based compensation expense – Non-cash expense associated with stock-based compensation. |
o | Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets – Non-cash impairment charges associated with goodwill and intangible assets are unusual and of non-recurring charges. |
o | Restructuring charges – Severance costs and the abandonment of right-of-use assets resulted from the acquisition integration process and cost saving initiatives. |
o | Fair value adjustments – Mark-to-market adjustments of warrants and hedge instruments. |
o | Foreign currency impact – Unrealized and realized foreign exchange gains or losses due to fluctuations in exchange rates. |
o | Acquisition and integration related costs – Non-recurring costs incurred to effectuate an acquisition, including contingent compensation expenses, and integration related costs. |
o | Transformation costs – Non-recurring costs incurred to transform our operations through significant strategic non-ordinary course transactions. |
o | System migration costs – Non-recurring costs of temporary resources needed for the migration of content and customers from our legacy system to a global platform. |
o | Gain on sale of business – Non-recurring gain from the sale of SumTotal. |
o | Income from discontinued operations – Income from discontinued operations that do not reflect our current operating performance. |
Page 4 of 15
| ● | Adjusted EBITDA - Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Net Loss excluding interest expense or income, benefit from or provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. |
| ● | Pro Forma Adjusted Net Loss – Pro Forma Adjusted Net Loss is defined as Adjusted Net Loss adjusted in accordance with Regulation S-X, Article 11 as if Skillsoft, Global Knowledge and Codecademy had merged on February 1, 2021, to enhance comparability. |
| ● | Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA – Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA adjusted in accordance with Regulation S-X, Article 11 as if Skillsoft, Global Knowledge and Codecademy had merged on February 1, 2021, to enhance comparability. |

Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and we do not undertake to update these forward-looking statements unless required by applicable law.
