Skillsoft Shares Rise After Increasing Outlook, Beating 3Q Estimates

Dow Jones2024-12-11

By Connor Hart

Shares of Skillsoft jumped after the company raised its full-year outlook as its loss narrowed and it posted higher-than-expected revenue in its third quarter.

The stock rose 8.6%, to $15.99, in after-hours trading Tuesday. Shares, which ended the regular session 1.4% higher at $14.72, are down 16% since the beginning of the year, despite having gained 17% in the last three months.

The education-software company after the bell increased its full-year revenue outlook to between $520 million and $530 million from between $510 million and $525 million. It backed its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization outlook of between $105 million and $110 million. Analysts surveyed by FactSet are expecting revenue of $517.1 million and adjusted Ebitda of $107.8 million.

In its recent quarter, Skillsoft reported a loss of $23.6 million, or $2.86 a share, compared with a loss of $27.7 million, or $3.45 a share, a year earlier.

On an adjusted basis, the company posted a loss of $1.82 a share for its three months ended Oct. 31. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting an adjusted loss of $3 a share.

Revenue fell to $137.2 million from $139 million, but came in ahead of the $130 million that analysts were looking for, according to FactSet.

Chief Executive Ron Hovsepian said the recent quarter's results represent the first step in the company's transformation strategy.
