Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Simultaneously herewith, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company, a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), issued a statement pre-releasing selected preliminary unaudited financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2015 in connection with the launch of its $500 million, 6-year Term Loan B syndication.

The Company has not finalized its financial statement reporting process for the first quarter of 2015. As a result, the information in the statement is preliminary and based upon information available to the Company as of the date of the statement. During the course of the Company’s reporting process, items may be identified that would require the Company to make adjustments, which may be material, and as a result, the preliminary unaudited financial information included in the statement (and appendix thereto) is forward-looking information and subject to risks and uncertainties, including possible adjustments to the preliminary unaudited financial information.

A copy of the statement is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section. Furthermore, the information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933.
