FLORHAM PARK, N.J., July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barnes & Noble Education, Inc. $(BNED)$, ("Barnes & Noble Education," "BNED," "the Company," "we," "us," "our"), a leading solutions provider for the education industry, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended May 2, 2026.

FY2026 Financial Results

Full-year revenue in fiscal 2026 was $1.715 billion, an increase of $104.6 million, or 6.5%, over the prior year. Fiscal 2026 comprised 52 weeks compared with 53 weeks in fiscal 2025, which modestly understates growth on a comparable-period basis. Comparable store sales increased by $71.3 million, or 4.4%, year-over-year. In addition, total gross margin dollars increased by $28.4 million, or 8.4%, year-over year, with the Company's gross margin percentage increasing to 21.4% from 21.0% in the prior fiscal year.

Revenues from BNC First Day$(R)$ programs increased by $166.3 million, or 28.0%, year-over-year, to $760.1 million, as First Day(R) Complete continues to see strong growth in institutional adoption. A total of 232 campus stores utilized First Day Complete in the spring 2026 academic term with a total enrollment of approximately 1,249,301(1) undergraduate and graduate students, up 31% from 957,000 in the prior year.

Full-year fiscal 2026 net income was $16.9 million compared to a net loss of $(65.8) million in the prior year. The fiscal 2025 net loss includes a $55.2 million non-cash charge related to the extinguishment of debt.

Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2026 was $76.5 million, an increase of $17.1 million, from $59.4 million in the prior fiscal year, representing an increase of 28.8%.

Total debt at year-end was $71.0 million compared to $103.1 million at the end of fiscal 2025. After subtracting $8.4 million of cash on hand, total net debt was $62.6 million, representing a $31.4 million, or approximately 33%, year-over-year decrease. The Company's net working capital position remained strong with $200.9 million of positive working capital at year-end, representing a 7.9% increase year-over-year.

The Company also recently introduced an inaugural quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share which will be payable on July 30, 2026 to shareholders of record on July 16, 2026.

Management Commentary

"Fiscal 2026 marked another year of meaningful progress for Barnes & Noble Education," said Jonathan Shar, Chief Executive Officer. "We achieved solid revenue growth, significantly increased Adjusted EBITDA, returned to net income profitability, and realized meaningful debt reduction. These results were driven by continued growth in First Day(R), improved comparable store performance, disciplined expense management, and strong sales contributions from new store partnerships secured through recent business wins."

Mr. Shar continued, "As we enter fiscal 2027, we believe we are well positioned to build on this momentum. Demand for our BNC First Day(R) offerings continues to accelerate, with fall 2026 First Day Complete enrollment expected to reach approximately 1.4 million undergraduate and graduate students, up approximately 23% from fall 2025. We are excited about the expansion of new offerings, including Room Service, and are focused on creating long-term value for our institutional partners, students, employees, and shareholders. Our recent initiation of a quarterly dividend reflects our strong confidence in the business."

Outlook

Barnes & Noble Education is reiterating the fiscal 2027 outlook provided on June 24, 2026. The Company expects continued growth in revenues and is focused on driving operating leverage with disciplined expense management. The Company is targeting Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $85 million to $92 million and anticipates further significant improvements in net income profitability. The Company also sees opportunities to drive better capital efficiency, which should contribute to additional reductions in debt and interest expense. The Company anticipates approximately $20 million in capital expenditures and should be a normal cash taxpayer in fiscal 2027.

Earnings Calls

Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2027, the Company will host earnings conference calls following its second quarter and full-year earnings releases. Given the highly seasonal nature of the Company's business, these periods provide the most meaningful opportunity to discuss operating performance, financial results and business trends. Further details, including the exact date and time, will be announced in advance of each call. In the meantime, the Company will continue to report quarterly financial results in accordance with applicable SEC reporting requirements and be available for investor questions following the release of quarterly results.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information--Adjusted EBITDA

To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses the financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure under Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regulations. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) interest expense, net (3) income taxes, and (4) as adjusted for non-cash or non-recurring items, and other adjustments permitted under our credit agreement.

Adjusted EBITDA has been reconciled to the most comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, consolidated net income (loss). All of the items included in the reconciliation are either (i) non-cash items or (ii) items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is not intended as a substitute for and should not be considered superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company's use of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from similarly named measures used by other companies, limiting its usefulness for comparison purposes.

We review Adjusted EBITDA as an internal measure to evaluate our performance at a consolidated level to manage our operations. We believe that this measure is a useful performance measure which is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our on-going operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone, as it excludes certain items that management believes do not reflect the ordinary performance of our operations in a particular period. Our Board of Directors and management also use Adjusted EBITDA at a consolidated level as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting expected performance, for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a measure for performance incentive plans. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted EBITDA results provides investors useful and important information regarding our operating results, in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance.

The Company urges investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year-ended May 2, 2026. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial metrics, because reconciling information is not available without an unreasonable effort, such as attempting to make assumptions that cannot reasonably be made on a forward-looking basis to determine the corresponding GAAP metric.

(a)    Given the growth of our BNC First Day(R) programs, 
        the timing of cash collection from our school partners 
        may shift to periods subsequent to when the revenue 
        is recognized. When a school adopts our BNC First 
        Day(R) affordable access course material program offerings, 
        cash collection from the school generally occurs after 
        the institution's drop/add dates, which is later in 
        the working capital cycle, particularly in our third 
        quarter given the timing of the Spring Term and our 
        quarterly reporting period, as compared to direct-to-student 
        point-of-sale transactions where cash is generally 
        collected during the point-of-sale transaction or 
        within a few days from the credit card processor. 
        As a higher percentage of our sales shift to BNC First 
        Day(R) affordable access course material program offerings, 
        we are focused on efforts to better align the timing 
        of our cash outflows to course material vendors and 
        cash inflows from collections from schools. 
(b)    Purchases of property and equipment are also referred 
        to as capital expenditures. Our investing activities 
        consist principally of capital expenditures for contractual 
        capital investments associated with renewing existing 
        contracts, new store construction, and enhancements 
        to internal systems and our website. The following 
        table provides the components of total purchases of

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information - Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses the financial measures of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures under Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regulations. We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for certain reconciling items that are subtracted from or added to net income (loss). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) interest expense, net and (3) income taxes, (4) as adjusted for other non-cash or non-recurring items, and adjustments defined in the Company's credit agreement. We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Cash Flows from Operating Activities less capital expenditures, cash interest and cash taxes.

These non-GAAP measures have been reconciled to the most comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP as follows: the reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) to net income (loss); the reconciliation of consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income (loss); and the reconciliation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Cash Flows from Operating Activities. All of the items included in the reconciliations are either (i) non-cash items or (ii) items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended as substitutes for and should not be considered superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company's use of these non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly named measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.

We review these non-GAAP financial measures as internal measures to evaluate our performance at a consolidated level to manage our operations. We believe that these measures are useful performance measures which are used by us to facilitate a comparison of our on-going operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business than measures under GAAP can provide alone, as they exclude certain items that management believes do not reflect the ordinary performance of our operations in a particular period. Our Board of Directors and management also use Adjusted EBITDA at a consolidated level as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting expected performance, for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a measure for performance incentive plans. We believe that the inclusion of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA results provides investors useful and important information regarding our operating results, in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance. We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides useful additional information concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements and assists investors in their understanding of our operating profitability and liquidity as we manage the business to maximize margin and cash flow.

The Company urges investors to carefully review the GAAP financial information included as part of the Company's Form 10-K dated May 3, 2025, filed with the SEC on December 23, 2025. We do not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial metrics, because reconciling information is not available without an unreasonable effort, such as attempting to make assumptions that cannot reasonably be made on a forward-looking basis to determine the corresponding GAAP metric.
