Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Financial Highlights
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $2.5 million, or 2%, to $122.3 million compared with $119.9 million in 2017. GAAP net revenues by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and the change from the same period of 2017, were as follows:
Learning A-Z® - $59.5 million, increased $4.2 million or 8%

1



ExploreLearning® - $23.2 million, increased $2.5 million or 12%
Voyager Sopris Learning® - $39.6 million, decreased $(4.3) million or (10)%
Bookings for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased by 7% to $135.8 million, compared with $127.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, with growth at the Learning A-Z and ExploreLearning segments offset by a decline in the Voyager Sopris Learning segment.
The Company reported GAAP net income of $12.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, decreasing $1.9 million compared to net income of $14.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Net income includes expenses of $2.1 million related to the Company's definitive agreement to acquire VKIDZ Holdings Inc. ("VKidz") and its review of strategic alternatives and subsequent merger agreement with certain affiliates of Veritas Capital, in addition to higher tax expense. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is higher than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of reducing most of the valuation allowance against most of the Company's deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA was $37.4 million, increasing $1.4 million from $36.0 million in 2017. The increase in GAAP net revenues, along with a greater portion of the top-line mix coming from the higher margin Learning A-Z and ExploreLearning segments, drove improvement in Adjusted EBITDA.
Net interest expense was $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, down $1.2 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of the scheduled debt amortization payments and voluntary prepayments made during 2017.
Cash Income was $36.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to Cash Income of $28.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Capital expenditures totaled $12.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 versus $13.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $26.3 million at September 30, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash provided by operations was $33.2 million, cash used in investing activities was $12.1 million, and cash used in financing activities was $3.4 million. At September 30, 2018, the principal amount of term loans outstanding was $44.0 million, there was $29.8 million available under the revolving credit facility and no borrowings were outstanding.
The Company's technology-enabled products continue to receive industry recognition. The Company was recently awarded 14 Education Software Review (EDDIE) Awards for 2018, with Learning A-Z receiving 12 EDDIE awards, and ExploreLearning receiving two EDDIE awards.

Third Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights
GAAP net revenues for the third quarter of 2018 increased by $1.2 million, or 3%, to $44.7 million compared with $43.5 million in 2017. GAAP net revenues by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and the change from the same period of 2017, were as follows:
Learning A-Z - $20.0 million, increased $1.5 million or 8%
ExploreLearning - $8.0 million, increased $0.8 million or 11%
Voyager Sopris Learning - $16.8 million, decreased $(1.1) million or (6)%
Bookings for the third quarter of 2018 were $82.9 million, an increase of 6% compared with $78.5 million in the third quarter of 2017.
The Company reported net income of $5.9 million during the third quarter of 2018, decreasing $0.6 million compared to net income of $6.5 million during the third quarter of 2017. Net income includes expenses of $1.0 million related to the Company's definitive agreement to acquire VKIDZ Holdings Inc. and its review of strategic alternatives and subsequent merger agreement with certain affiliates of Veritas Capital, in addition to higher tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2018 was $15.9 million, increasing $1.7 million from $14.1 million in 2017. The increase in GAAP net revenues, along with a greater portion of the top-line mix coming from the higher margin Learning A-Z and ExploreLearning segments, drove improvement in Adjusted EBITDA.

MERGER AGREEMENT and VKIDZ TRANSACTION
As previously announced on October 15, 2018, the Company has entered into a definitive merger agreement with certain affiliates of Veritas Capital, a leading private equity investment firm, for the acquisition of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the holders of common stock of the Company currently outstanding are entitled to receive $14.50 in cash per share at the closing. The transaction was unanimously approved by the board of directors of the Company. Following the execution of the merger agreement, the stockholder representing a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock delivered a written consent approving and adopting the merger agreement and the transaction. The Company's outstanding credit facility will be repaid at closing. Subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, the Company expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2018 or the first quarter of 2019.
Immediately prior to the closing, the Company will close its previously announced acquisition of VKIDZ Holdings Inc. ("VKidz"), an award winning Florida-based edtech company dedicated to helping deliver the best education to students using digital solutions. Under the terms of the agreement, the purchase price will include issuance of 6.7 million shares of Cambium Learning Group common stock to the sellers, plus payment of outstanding debt of VKidz on the consummation date of the transaction. In 2017, VKidz had Bookings of approximately $21.1 million and Cash Income of approximately $5.7 million. At September 30, 2018, VKidz had debt principal outstanding of $19.8 million and cash of $3.3 million. For each share of Company common stock issued in connection with the Company's acquisition of VKidz, holders are entitled to receive $11.50 in cash.

Conference Call
In consideration of the Company's recently announced definitive merger agreement with certain affiliates of Veritas Capital, management will not conduct a third quarter 2018 conference call.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Income are not prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly named, non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors because they reflect the underlying performance of the ongoing operations of the Company and provide investors with a view of the Company's operations from management's perspective. Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Income remove significant restructuring, non-operational, or certain non-cash items from earnings. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Income to monitor and evaluate the operating performance of the Company and as the basis to set and measure progress toward performance targets. Further, the Cash Income measure directly affects compensation for employees and executives. The Company generally uses these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance and not as measures of the Company's liquidity. The Company's presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Income should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual, non-operational, or non-cash items.
