The earnings call presented a strong performance in the Children's Book Publishing and Distribution segment and successful financial maneuvers like the sale leasebacks.

Company Guidance
During the Scholastic second quarter fiscal year 2026 earnings call, the company reported a 13% growth in adjusted EBITDA, affirming its FY 2026 earnings guidance despite adjustments for recent sale leasebacks. The call highlighted significant achievements in strategic and financial initiatives, including a strong back-to-school season, which saw revenues rise to $551.1 million, up 1% from the previous year. Notable performance included a 4% increase in the Children's Book Publishing and Distribution segment to $380.9 million, driven by robust book fairs with higher fair counts and increased revenue per fair. Meanwhile, trade publishing saw a 7% rise to $110.4 million, fueled by successful releases like the fourteenth Dog Man title. Scholastic also reported a substantial net income of $66.3 million, up from $52 million the prior year, with adjusted earnings per diluted share at $2.57, compared to $1.82 last year. Additionally, the company completed sale leasebacks yielding over $400 million in net proceeds, with plans to enhance shareholder value through increased share repurchase authorization to $150 million. Looking ahead, Scholastic anticipates continued revenue growth in school reading events and entertainment divisions, although it expects modest declines in trade and international revenue compared to a strong prior year.
