Investor Day 2025 summary9 Dec, 2025

Strategic priorities and capital allocation

  • Focus remains on long-term growth of free cash flow per share through owners' earnings, selective share repurchases, pension optimization, and bolt-on acquisitions, with a disciplined approach to capital allocation and risk management.

  • Preference for bolt-on acquisitions in existing segments over new platform businesses, leveraging operational synergies and management familiarity.

  • Recent capital allocation included significant buy-in of minority interests and opportunistic investments in undervalued securities.

  • Overfunded pension plan is used strategically for acquisitions and employee benefits, not for withdrawals due to tax penalties.

  • Conservative leverage philosophy, maintaining strong liquidity and a net cash position of $504 million as of Q3 2025.

Business performance and segment updates

  • Adjusted operating cash flow increased to $310 million through Q3, despite a $45 million decline at Graham Media Group, driven by strong results in Kaplan, Healthcare, and Manufacturing.

  • Kaplan Supplemental achieved 9% revenue growth and 21% adjusted operating cash flow growth, marking a successful transition to an online model.

  • Healthcare segment revenue grew 36% and adjusted operating cash flow 46% year-to-date, with continued expansion into new geographies like California.

  • Manufacturing improved cash flow from $30 million to $40 million, while Automotive saw a decline due to dealership closure and investments.

  • Framebridge expanded store count by 40% in 2025, improved margins, and targets 20-25 new stores in 2026, with a scalable regional pod model.

Market and regulatory environment

  • Graham Media Group faces secular headwinds from audience fragmentation and regulatory constraints, with long-term viability dependent on potential regulatory changes.

  • Political advertising is expected to reach record levels in 2026, benefiting stations in battleground markets like Detroit.

  • Kaplan International is challenged by restrictive immigration policies in key markets, but is diversifying its student base and leveraging growth in regions like Singapore.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
