The earnings call reflected significant challenges, including a steep decline in revenue and brand partner numbers, increased losses, and negative impacts of discounting on margins. However, there are strategic efforts underway, such as the shipping subscription launch and StoryMaker Summits, and the potential positive impact of the Hilti Complex sale. The company is focused on returning to a stronger financial position.
Company Guidance
During the Educational Development Corporation's Q3 2025 earnings call, the company reported a challenging financial period. Net revenues for the quarter were $11.1 million, down from $16.9 million the previous year. The company faced a net loss of $800,000 compared to a net income of $2 million in the same quarter last year, with a loss per share of $0.10 against last year's earnings per share of $0.24. Year-to-date figures showed net revenues of $27.6 million versus $42.1 million previously, and a net loss of $3.9 million compared to an income of $2.2 million. Average active brand partners dropped to 12,400 from 16,400. Despite these setbacks, the company is focused on operational improvements, including reducing excess inventory and borrowing, and pursuing strategic sales and marketing initiatives like the shipping subscription launch and StoryMaker Summits to drive future growth.
Shipping Subscription Launch
In November, PaperPie introduced a membership program offering reduced or free shipping and value-added perks, receiving positive feedback and supporting customer relationships and revenue.
StoryMaker Summits Announcement
PaperPie plans to host 5 StoryMaker Summits in various U.S. cities in 2025, promoting deeper engagement with brand partners compared to a single national convention.
Progress on Hilti Complex Sale
The asset sale agreement for the Hilti Complex is in due diligence, with completion expected by March. Proceeds will be used to clear bank debt, improve cash position, and exclude 17 acres of excess land to strengthen the balance sheet.
