Management Commentary
“Our continued focus on achieving strategic revenue growth and targeted efficiency gains yielded another quarter of improvement in our earnings performance,” said Mark Allin, Wiley’s President and CEO.  “We continue to realize strong growth in our solutions businesses, including Online Program Management, Corporate Learning, and Online Test Preparation.  Meanwhile, our Journals business remains strong, although this quarter’s revenue performance was muted by the trailing effects of the Swets subscription agent bankruptcy.”

Fiscal Year 2016 Outlook
Wiley is reaffirming its fiscal year 2016 outlook of low-single-digit revenue growth and flat adjusted EPS growth on a constant currency basis as compared to fiscal year 2015, excluding the adverse transitional impact of shifting to time-based journal subscription agreements.  As previously announced, Wiley is moving to time-based digital journal subscription agreements for calendar year 2016.  The change will shift roughly $35 million of revenue and $0.35 of EPS from FY16 to FY17, with recurring effect annually thereafter.  Most of the revenue and earnings impact will occur in our third fiscal quarter, and the change will not impact cash flow.  Included in the FY16 EPS guidance is an incremental expense impact of more than $0.15 for the enterprise resource planning system (ERP) implementation as compared to FY15.

 
 

 
 
Foreign Exchange (FX)
Wiley generates half of its revenue from outside the United States, and is therefore exposed to a stronger dollar, particularly in relation to the euro and pound sterling.  For fiscal year 2015, the weighted average rates for sterling and the euro were 1.60 and 1.25, respectively, on a US dollar equivalent basis.  The weighted average rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 were 1.55 and 1.11, respectively. Throughout this report, references are made to variances “excluding foreign exchange” or “on a constant currency basis”; such amounts exclude both currency translation effects and transactional gains and losses.

Adjusted Results
The Company provides financial measures referred to as “adjusted” revenue, contribution to profit, and EPS, which exclude restructuring charges.  Variances to adjusted revenue, contribution to profit, and EPS are on a constant currency basis unless otherwise noted. Management believes the exclusion of such items provides additional information to facilitate the analysis of results.  These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the financial results reported in accordance with GAAP.

First Quarter Summary
·  
First quarter revenue grew 2% on a constant currency basis to $423 million due to strong organic growth in Online Program Management (+26%), Online Test Preparation (+40%), Custom Material (+16%), and Author-Funded Access (+14%).  CrossKnowledge contributed an additional $8.5 million of inorganic Corporate Learning revenue growth in the quarter, as the prior year period included only one month of results.  These areas of growth offset a 9% decline in Print Book revenue and a 1% decline in Journal Subscription revenue, which was primarily due to the trailing effects of the Swets bankruptcy.  Including a $22 million unfavorable impact of currency, overall revenue declined 3%.
·  
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) grew 11% on a constant currency basis to $0.58.  Adjusted EPS excludes certain one-time or unusual items as further described in the attached reconciliation of US GAAP to Adjusted EPS.  Adjusted EPS growth was driven by revenue growth, cost reductions, and lower tax expense partially offset by investment in Online Program Management.  EPS on a US GAAP basis declined 2% mainly due to a $0.04 unfavorable impact of currency and a $3.4 million ($0.03 per share) restructuring charge in the quarter.
·  
Share Repurchases: Wiley repurchased 230,400 shares this quarter at a cost of $12.7 million, an average of $55.22 per share.
·  
Dividend: In June, the Board of Directors increased Wiley’s quarterly cash dividend by 3% to $0.30 per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock.  It was the 22nd consecutive annual increase and raised the annualized dividend payout to $1.20 per share.

RESEARCH
·  
Revenue:  First quarter revenue of $237.4 million was flat on a constant currency basis.  A marginal decline in Journal Subscription revenue (-1%), driven by the trailing effects of the Swets bankruptcy, offset growth in Author-Funded Access (+14%).  Research Books revenue was flat.
·  
Calendar Year 2015 Journal Subscriptions:  At the end of July, calendar year 2015 Journal Subscriptions were up 0.4% on a constant currency basis, with 98% of targeted business contracted for the 2015 calendar year.
·  
Adjusted Contribution to Profit:  First quarter adjusted contribution to profit of $65.9 million rose 1% on a constant currency basis mainly due to cost reductions.  Contribution to profit on a US GAAP basis declined 6% primarily due to the unfavorable impact of currency.
·  
Society Business: Four new society journals were signed in the quarter with combined annual revenue of $12.0 million; eighteen were renewed with approximately $20.4 million in combined annual revenue; and four were not renewed, worth $1.9 million annually.
·  
Journal Impact Index:  In July, Wiley announced a strong performance in the number of its journal titles indexed in the Thomson Reuters® 2014 Journal Citation Reports (JCR).  A total of 1,200 Wiley titles were indexed, with 24 Wiley journals achieving the top rank in their respective categories and 240 achieving a top 10 ranking.  The Thomson Reuters index is a barometer of journal influence across the research community.
 
 
 

 
 
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
·  
Revenue:  First quarter revenue rose 10% on a constant currency basis to $98.7 million due to two additional months of reported corporate learning results for CrossKnowledge in the current period ($8.5 million) and organic growth on a comparable basis, as well as strong organic growth in Online Test Preparation (+40%) due to CFA and GMAT programs.  On a constant currency basis, Print and Digital Books declined 5% and 1%, respectively.  The Assessment business rose 1% with post-hire assessment growth offsetting an expected decline in pre-hire assessment revenue following portfolio actions to optimize longer-term profitable growth.
·  
Adjusted Contribution to Profit:  First quarter adjusted contribution to profit more than doubled to $19.0 million due to efficiency gains.
·  
Alliances: In July, CrossKnowledge and Schouten Global, a European market leader in the development of soft skills, team performance and leadership, announced a global partnership to mutually offer global clients a broader range of impactful blended learning solutions. The global partnership enlarges the international network of clients, universities and learning and development partners of Schouten Global, including their 700 global trainers, coaches and consultants, and CrossKnowledge.
 
EDUCATION
·  
Revenue:  First quarter revenue declined 1% on a constant currency basis to $86.9 million, with Print Textbooks declining 17% and offsetting a strong quarter for Online Program Management (+26%), Custom Material (+16%), and Digital Books (+6%).  The decline in Print Textbooks reflects the continued shift of student demand toward alternative formats and further declines in student enrollment at for-profit institutions.
·  
Adjusted Contribution to Profit:  First quarter adjusted contribution to profit declined 37% on a constant currency basis to $4.7 million, reflecting lower Print Textbook revenue and continued investment in Online Program Management.
·  
Online Program Management (formerly Deltak):  As of July 31, 2015, Wiley had 38 university partners and 210 programs under contract, compared to 200 programs at the end of last quarter.  New programs were signed with George Washington University, University of Scranton, and St. Mary’s University of Minnesota.
·  
Alliances:  In July, Wiley announced a partnership with InsideTrack, a leading student success organization, to make career coaching possible at a low fee for all students who use the WileyPLUS platform for Intermediate Accounting by Kieso, Weygandt, Warfield.  Wiley’s partnership with InsideTrack will offer those students enrolled in the Intermediate Accounting WileyPLUS course free introductory career-related videos and, to paid subscribers, access to InsideTrack’s web and mobile-enabled platform.  InsideTrack’s career coaches will work with students to assess their career-readiness, plan their job search, and develop the skills that employers value most.

Note: As part of Wiley’s restructuring and reorganization program the Company consolidated certain decentralized business functions (Sales Support, Marketing Services, etc.) into global shared service functions. These newly centralized service groups enable significant cost reduction opportunities, including efficiencies gained from standardized technology and centralized management. The cost of these functions were previously reported as direct operating expenses in each business segment but are now reported within the shared service functions and then allocated to each business segment above. Prior year amounts have been restated to reflect the same reporting methodology.

Note: The Company’s management evaluates performance using free cash flow.  The Company believes free cash flow provides a meaningful and comparable measure of performance.  Since free cash flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered as a substitute for other GAAP measures, including cash used for or provided by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, as an indicator of performance.
