Current report
Excluding the operating and administrative expenses from the Held for Sale or Sold segment, operating and administrative expenses decreased 1% as compared with the prior year on a constant currency basis primarily due to lower depreciation and amortization and, to a lesser extent, employments costs, partially offset by an increase in enterprise modernization costs.
Current report

For the years ended April 30, 2025 and 2024, we recorded pretax loss on sale of businesses, assets, and impairment charges related to assets held-for-sale as follows:
Current report
These charges are reflected in Net (loss) gain on sale of businesses, assets, and impairment charges related to assets held-for-sale on our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).
Current report
On August 31, 2024, we completed the sale of CrossKnowledge which was included in our Held for Sale or Sold segment. The pretax loss on sale was $51.3 million after accounting for the assets sold, liabilities transferred upon sale, transaction costs, and the write-off of cumulative translation adjustments in earnings. In connection with the held-for-sale classification prior to the sale, we recognized cumulative impairment charges of $51.0 million on the remeasurement of the disposal group at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, which included $55.4 million recognized in fiscal year 2024. Upon the completion of the sale, we recognized a net gain of $4.1 million in the year ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to subsequent changes in the fair value less costs to sell, as well as changes in the carrying amount of the disposal group.
Current report
On May 31, 2024, we completed the sale of Wiley Edge which was included in our Held for Sale or Sold segment, with the exception of its India operations which sold on August 31, 2024. The pretax loss on sale was $34.3 million after accounting for the assets sold, liabilities transferred upon sale, transaction costs, and the write-off of cumulative translation adjustments in earnings. In connection with the held-for-sale classification, during fiscal year 2024, we recognized cumulative impairment charges of $19.4 million on the remeasurement of the disposal group at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Upon the completion of the sale, we recognized a net loss of $14.9 million in the year ended April 30, 2025, primarily due to subsequent changes in the fair value less costs to sell including reducing the fair value of the contingent consideration in the form of an earnout from $15.0 million to zero in the third quarter of fiscal year 2025, partially offset by the sale of the India operations. See Note 4, "Acquisitions and Divestitures" for further details.
Current report
On January 1, 2024, we completed the sale of University Services, which was included in our Held for Sale or Sold segment. On June 5, 2025, Wiley entered into an agreement with Metis Aggregator L.P. and Vistria AP Aggregator, LLCto sell the Seller Note, the fiscal year 2026 University Services Earnout, and the TVG Investment, and agreed with Upper Holdings and Academic Partnerships on the fiscal year 2025 University Services Earnout for total cash consideration of $119.5 million (Sale Agreement), which was fully paid in June 2025. As a result of this Sale Agreement, all amounts due to Wiley in accordance with the University Services Agreement have been settled. In the year ended April 30, 2025, due to the process of selling these assets, as well as third-party customer consents, working capital adjustments, and changes in the costs to sell, we recognized an additional net loss on sale and impairments of assets of $12.6 million.
Current report
In the year ended April 30, 2025, there was a reduction in the pretax loss on the sale of our Tuition Manager business previously in our Held for Sale or Sold segment of $0.1 million due to a selling price adjustment for cash received after the closing.

Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS):
Current report
Research revenue for the year ended April 30, 2025, increased $32.8 million, or 3%, as compared with the prior year. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 3% as compared with the prior year primarily due to an increase in author-funded open access, institutional models, AI licensing revenue and, to a lesser extent, Research Solutions, partially offset by a decrease in ancillary and print products. The increase in Research Solutions was due to an increase in databases, and content solutions for corporations, partially offset by a decrease in recruitment. Open access article output growth was approximately 16% as compared with the prior year. Research AI licensing revenue for the year ended April 30, 2025 was approximately $11 million.
Current report
On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% as compared with the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher employment related costs.
Current report
Learning revenue for the year ended April 30, 2025, increased $10.0 million, or 2%, as compared with the prior year. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 2% as compared with the prior year primarily due to an increase in licensing revenue, including AI revenue, and growth in Academic from steady market conditions, notably student enrollment, the shift to inclusive access, and growth in digital content and courseware, partially offset by a decrease in Academic print book sales and retail channel softness in Professional. Learning AI licensing revenue for the year end April 30, 2025 was $29 million compared to $23 million in the prior year due to demand for Academic and Professional backlisted content.
Current report
Held for Sale or Sold revenue for the year ended April 30, 2025, decreased $238.2 million, or 93%, as compared with the prior year on a reported and constant currency basis as compared with the prior year. This was primarily due to the sale of University Services on January 1, 2024, Wiley Edge on May 31, 2024, with the exception of its India operations which sold on August 31, 2024, and CrossKnowledge on August 31, 2024.

Previous report
On June 1, 2023, Wiley’s Board of Directors approved a plan to divest certain businesses that we determined are non-core businesses. Those businesses are University Services, Wiley Edge, and CrossKnowledge. On January 1, 2024 we completed the sale of University Services. On January 8, 2024 we entered into an agreement to sell our Wiley Edge business, which closed on May 31, 2024, with the exception of its India operations. The sale of Wiley Edge’s India operation will be finalized later in calendar year 2024. We expect to complete the sale of CrossKnowledge by the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. As a result of these planned divestitures, in the three months ended July 31, 2023 we reorganized our segments and our new structure consists of three reportable segments which includes Research (no change), Learning, and Held for Sale or Sold, as well as a Corporate expense category (no change). Prior period segment results have been recast to the new segment presentation. There were no changes to our consolidated financial results.
Previous report
•Held for Sale or Sold includes businesses held-for-sale including Wiley Edge, and CrossKnowledge, as well as those sold in fiscal year 2024 which includes University Services, and Tuition Manager, and in fiscal year 2023 Test Prep and Advancement Courses.
Previous report
Operating and administrative expenses for the year ended April 30, 2024 of $1,013.5 million decreased $23.9 million, or 2%, as compared with the prior year. On a constant currency basis, operating and administrative expenses decreased 3% as compared with the prior year primarily reflecting lower employee costs associated with recent restructuring actions and, to a lesser extent, a $3.7 million charge related to the settlement of a litigation mater related to consideration for a previous acquisition in the three months ended January 31, 2023, and lower professional fees. These were partially offset by higher amortization due to the decision to discontinue the use of certain capitalized software resulting in accelerated amortization and impairments of $15.9 million, partially offset by the cessation of depreciation for held-for-sale assets. Excluding the operating and administrative expenses from the Held for Sale or Sold segment, operating and administrative expenses increased 1% on a constant currency basis.
Previous report
Due to the segment realignment in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, we were required to test goodwill for impairment immediately before and after our segment realignment in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Prior to the realignment, we concluded that the fair value of the Education Services reporting unit was below its carrying value, which resulted in a pretax noncash goodwill impairment of $31.0 million. Education Services was adversely impacted by market conditions and headwinds for online degree programs. This has led to a decline in projected student enrollments from existing partners, pricing pressures and revenue share concessions, and a decline in new partner additions over both the short-term and long-term, which adversely impacted forecasted revenue growth and operating cash flows. This was partially offset by projected growth in talent placements, partially due to expansion into new regions and the addition of new corporate clients, which were forecasted to have a positive impact on revenue growth and operating cash flows.
Previous report
After the realignment, we concluded that the fair value of the University Services reporting unit within the Academic segment was below its carrying value, which resulted in an additional pretax noncash goodwill impairment of $68.8 million. University Services was adversely impacted by market conditions and headwinds for online degree programs, which lead to a decline in projected enrollments from existing partners, pricing pressures and revenue share concessions, and a decline in new partner additions over both the short-term and long-term which adversely impacted forecasted revenue growth and operating cash flows.
Previous report
In May 2022, the Company initiated a global program (Global Restructuring Program) to restructure and align our cost base with current and anticipated future market conditions, which was previously referred to as the Fiscal Year 2023 Restructuring Program.

Under this program, we reduced our real estate square footage occupancy by approximately 22%.
Previous report
For the years ended April 30, 2024 and 2023, we recorded pretax restructuring charges of $61.6 million and $48.9 million, respectively, related to this program.

Foreign Exchange Transaction (Losses) Gains:
Previous report
Foreign exchange transaction gains were $0.9 million for the year ended April 30, 2023, and were primarily due to the write off of the $1.1 million cumulative translation adjustment in earnings since the Russia entity was deemed substantially liquidated.

Other (Expense) Income, Net:
Previous report

Research revenue for the year ended April 30, 2024 decreased $37.6 million, or 3%, as compared with the prior year. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased 4% as compared with the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to the full year impact related to the carryover of the Hindawi publishing disruption experienced in fiscal year 2023 and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in Research Solutions due to market conditions. On a constant currency basis excluding Hindawi, Research revenue was flat as compared with the prior year. Hindawi’s special issues program was suspended in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 due to the presence in certain special issues of compromised articles. Open access article output declined 23% as compared with the prior year. Excluding Hindawi, open access article output growth was approximately 18% for the year ended April 30, 2024.
Previous report

On a constant currency basis excluding the GenAI project, Learning revenue increased 1% as compared with the prior year.
Previous report
Held for Sale or Sold revenue decreased $137.7 million, or 35%, as compared with the prior year on a reported basis. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased 36% as compared with prior year. This was due to a decrease in University Services due the sale of the business on January 1, 2024 and lower enrollments prior to the disposition, a decline in placement revenues and, to a lesser extent, the disposition of certain businesses in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 and in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. For the year ended April 30, 2024, placements declined 51%.
Previous report
On a constant currency basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 27% as compared with the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to lower revenues, partially offset by a decrease in marketing and employment costs in University Services due to the sale of the business on January 1, 2024 and restructuring actions and, to a lesser extent, a decrease in employee costs related to the Wiley Edge business, and the impact of the disposition of certain businesses in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023 and in fiscal year 2024.
Previous report
On a constant currency basis, adjusted corporate expenses of $163.0 million on an Adjusted EBITDA basis increased 4% as compared with the prior year.

Previous report
Impairment of Goodwill:
Previous report
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we were required to test goodwill for impairment immediately before and after our segment realignment. Prior to the realignment, we concluded that the fair value of the Education Services reporting unit was below its carrying value, which resulted in a pretax noncash goodwill impairment of $31.0 million. Education Services was adversely impacted by market conditions and headwinds for online degree programs. This has led to a decline in projected student enrollments from existing partners, pricing pressures and revenue share concessions, and a decline in new partner additions over both the short-term and long-term, which adversely impacted forecasted revenue growth and operating cash flows. This was partially offset by projected growth in talent placements, partially due to expansion into new regions and the addition of new corporate clients, which are forecasted to have a positive impact on revenue growth and operating cash flows.
Previous report
After the realignment, we concluded that the fair value of the University Services reporting unit within the Academic segment was below its carrying value, which resulted in an additional pretax noncash goodwill impairment of $68.8 million.

Due to the segment realignment in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we were required to test goodwill for impairment immediately before and after our segment realignment in accordance with applicable accounting standards. Prior to the realignment, we concluded that the fair value of the University Services reporting unit within the former Academic segment was below its carrying value, which resulted in a pretax noncash goodwill impairment of $11.4 million. University Services was adversely impacted by market conditions and headwinds for online degree programs, which lead to a decline in projected enrollments from existing partners, pricing pressures and revenue share concessions, and a decline in new partner additions over both the short-term and long-term which adversely impacted forecasted revenue growth and operating cash flows.
