Graham Holdings Company Reports Second Quarter Earnings

July 30, 2026 8:30 AM

ARLINGTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Graham Holdings Company (NYSE: GHC) today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026. The Company also filed its Form 10-Q today for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Division Operating Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $1,302.5 million, up 7% from $1,215.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. Revenues increased at television broadcasting, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive and other businesses, partially offset by a decline at education. The Company reported operating income of $83.6 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $72.8 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase in operating results is due to improved results at education, television broadcasting and other businesses, partially offset by declines at healthcare, manufacturing and automotive. The Company reported adjusted operating cash flow (non-GAAP) of $119.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $111.3 million for the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating cash flow increased at education, television broadcasting, manufacturing and other businesses, partially offset by declines at healthcare and automotive. Capital expenditures totaled $19.8 million for each of the second quarters of 2026 and 2025.

Revenue for the first six months of 2026 was $2,538.5 million, up 7% from $2,381.7 million in the first six months of 2025. Revenues increased at television broadcasting, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive and other businesses, partially offset by a slight decline at education. The Company reported operating income of $141.5 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to $120.2 million for the first six months of 2025. The increase in operating results is due to improved results at television broadcasting, manufacturing and other businesses, partially offset by declines at education, healthcare and automotive. The Company reported adjusted operating cash flow (non-GAAP) of $232.7 million for the first six months of 2026, compared to $199.4 million for the first six months of 2025. Adjusted operating cash flow increased at education, television broadcasting, manufacturing and other businesses, partially offset by declines at healthcare and automotive. Capital expenditures totaled $40.6 million and $33.9 million for the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Kaplan Languages Group (KLG) included in Kaplan International and recorded a $19.0 million pre-tax impairment charge. The transaction closed on May 1, 2026; the Company recorded a $5.2 million loss on the sale of the business in the second quarter of 2026.

Pension Plan

In June 2026, the Company purchased an irrevocable group annuity contract from an insurance company for $113.9 million to settle $124.3 million of the outstanding defined benefit pension obligation related to certain retirees and beneficiaries. The purchase of the group annuity contract was funded from the assets of the Company’s pension plan. As a result of this transaction, the Company was relieved of all responsibility for these pension obligations and the insurance company is now required to pay and administer the retirement benefits owed to approximately 1,080 retirees and beneficiaries, with no change to the amount, timing or form of monthly retirement benefit payments. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax noncash settlement gain of $137.0 million in the second quarter of 2026.

Income Taxes

The Company recognized a U.S. income tax benefit of $69.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, in connection with the restructuring and sale of the KLG business.

As a result of this significant U.S. income tax benefit, the Company accrued a non-U.S. global minimum corporate top-up income tax expense of $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2026. This accrual relates to non-U.S. jurisdictions that have not yet enacted legislation adopting recent guidance from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which would exempt U.S. parent multinational groups from Pillar Two top-up tax on their U.S. source income. The enactment of legislation in the U.K. and other jurisdictions would have a favorable impact on the Company’s income tax provision and could result in a complete reversal of the $19.2 million accrued amount without payment.

Debt, Cash and Marketable Equity Securities

At June 30, 2026, the Company had $900.4 million in borrowings outstanding at an average interest rate of 5.7%, including $231.2 million outstanding on its $400 million revolving credit facility. Cash, marketable equity securities and other investments totaled $1,297.4 million at June 30, 2026.

Overall, the Company recognized $101.9 million and $33.0 million in net gains on marketable equity securities in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, compared to $11.5 million in net losses and $32.3 million in net gains on marketable equity securities in the second quarter and first six months of 2025.

Common Stock Repurchases

During the first six months of 2026, the Company purchased a total of 110,471 shares of its Class B common stock at a cost of $122.0 million. At June 30, 2026, there were 4,251,268 shares outstanding. On September 12, 2024, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to acquire up to 500,000 shares of its Class B common stock; the Company has remaining authorization for 352,011 shares as of June 30, 2026.

Overall Company Results

The Company reported net income attributable to common shares of $281.1 million ($64.86 per share) for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $36.7 million ($8.35 per share) for the second quarter of 2025. For the first six months of 2026, the Company reported net income attributable to common shares of $310.2 million ($71.04 per share), compared to $60.6 million ($13.81 per share) for the first six months of 2025.

The results for the second quarter and first six months of 2026 and 2025 were affected by a number of items as described in the Non-GAAP Financial Information schedule attached to this release. Excluding these items, net income attributable to common shares was $84.2 million ($19.46 per share) for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $63.1 million ($14.33 per share) for the second quarter of 2025.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY

(Unaudited)

In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) included in this press release, the Company has provided information regarding Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Net income excluding certain items described below, reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Net income, excluding certain items, should not be considered substitutes or alternatives to computations calculated in accordance with and required by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.

The gains and losses on marketable equity securities relate to the change in the fair value (quoted prices) of its portfolio of equity securities. The mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the ownership portion of a group of minority shareholders at a subsidiary of the Company's Healthcare business. The Company measures the redemption value of this minority ownership on a quarterly basis with changes in the fair value recorded as interest expense or income, which is included in net income for the period. The effect of gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest are not directly related to the core performance of the Company’s business operations since these items do not directly relate to the sale of the Company’s services or products. GAAP requires that the Company include the gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest in net income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company excludes the gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest from the non-GAAP adjusted net income because these items are independent of the Company’s core operations and not indicative of the performance of the Company’s business operations.

The following tables reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures for Net income, excluding certain items, to the most directly comparable GAAP measures:
