Overview of the Company’s Financial Performance
Skillsoft Corp. is a leading provider of enterprise learning solutions, offering a comprehensive suite of premium, original, and authorized partner content across a broad spectrum of learning options. The company operates through two main segments: Technicals and Digital Skills (TDS) and Global Knowledge (GK).
Revenue and Profit Trends
- Total revenues remained relatively flat, declining slightly from $555.1 million in fiscal 2023 to $553.2 million in fiscal 2024. This was due to a decline in the GK segment, partially offset by organic growth in the TDS segment.
- In fiscal 2025, total revenues declined further to $531.0 million, with the GK segment experiencing a 15.4% decrease in revenues and the TDS segment seeing a slight 0.3% decline.
- The company’s operating expenses have decreased significantly, from $1,359.2 million in fiscal 2023 to $861.9 million in fiscal 2024, and further to $600.6 million in fiscal 2025. This was primarily driven by reductions in impairment charges, acquisition and integration costs, and other cost-saving initiatives.
- As a result, the company’s operating loss improved from 144.9% of revenues in fiscal 2023 to 55.7% in fiscal 2024, and further to 13.1% in fiscal 2025.
- The company’s net loss also improved from 130.6% of revenues in fiscal 2023 to 63.1% in fiscal 2024, and further to 23.0% in fiscal 2025.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths:
- Comprehensive suite of learning solutions across multiple domains, including application development, data science, cloud, and cybersecurity
- Innovative and popular Percipio learning platform with a large and growing user base of approximately 40 million registered learners
- Successful integration of Codecademy, a leading online learning platform for technical skills
- Significant cost-saving initiatives, including the Comprehensive Resource Reallocation Plan (CRRP), which is expected to result in $45 million of annualized cost savings
Weaknesses:
- Declining revenues in the GK segment due to weaker market demand, particularly in Europe, and a higher mix of lower-margin reseller business
- Impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets in fiscal 2023 and 2024, reflecting challenges in the business
- Reliance on debt financing, with a significant outstanding term loan balance of $594.6 million as of January 31, 2025
Outlook
The company’s outlook is cautiously optimistic, as it continues to focus on the more profitable parts of the market and capitalize on the shift from learning and skills to talent development. The successful implementation of the CRRP and the integration of Codecademy are expected to contribute to improved profitability. However, the company faces ongoing challenges in the GK segment and the need to manage its significant debt load. Continued execution of its strategic initiatives and cost-saving measures will be crucial for the company’s future success.
