Scholastic reported fiscal 2027 first-quarter revenue of $216.8 million, down 4% from $225.6 million a year earlier, with an operating loss of $92.2 million, unchanged from the prior year. The diluted loss per share widened to $3.77 from $2.83, and the company affirmed its full-year fiscal 2027 guidance. For shareholders, the quarter's headline measures declined, while the outlook was left unchanged.
Revenue fell 4% to $216.8 million, mainly due to lower Education and Children's Book Publishing and Distribution revenues and the elimination of rental income after the December 2025 sale-leaseback transactions.
Diluted loss per share was $3.77, compared with a loss of $2.83 in the prior year period; adjusted diluted loss per share was $3.63, compared with $2.52.
Net cash used in operating activities was $94.6 million, compared with $81.8 million a year earlier.
Fiscal 2027 guidance was affirmed: revenue growth of about 2% to 4%, Adjusted EBITDA of about $135 million to $145 million, and Free Cash Flow of about $35 million to $40 million.
