Additional Commentary on Fourth Quarter 2025 Results
Division Results
Education
For the fourth quarter of 2025, education division revenue totaled $410.1 million, up slightly from $408.2 million for the same period of 2024. Kaplan reported operating income for the fourth quarter of 2025 of $24.6 million, compared to $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding a long-lived asset impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024, operating income increased.
Kaplan International revenue decreased 3% in the fourth quarter of 2025 (7% on a constant currency basis). The decrease is due largely to lower revenue at Pathways, partially offset by growth at UK Professional and Singapore. Kaplan International reported operating income of $24.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, a 29% increase from $19.0 million in 2024. The increase is due primarily to improvement at UK Professional.
Higher Education revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 7% compared to the same period of 2024 due to an increase in fees from Purdue Global and growth in other higher education programs. Kaplan recorded $17.4 million and $14.6 million in fees from Purdue Global in its Higher Education operating results for the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Higher Education results improved in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to an increase in the Purdue Global fee recorded.
Supplemental Education revenue increased 7% in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven by growth in most program offerings. Operating results were down in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 due to increased employee healthcare and incentive compensation expense, partially offset by revenue growth.
Kaplan corporate and other expenses were up in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to increased information technology and legal costs, and higher incentive compensation and employee healthcare costs compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, Kaplan recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $22.9 million related to one of the Kaplan International business units.
Television Broadcasting
For the fourth quarter of 2025, revenue decreased 32% to $110.5 million, from $161.7 million in 2024, due primarily to a $48.4 million decrease in political advertising revenue, a $3.9 million decrease in retransmission revenues, and a decline in digital advertising revenue, partially offset by an increase in local and national advertising revenue. Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2025 declined 58% to $33.2 million, from $78.5 million in the same period of 2024, due to decreased revenues, partially offset by lower overall costs.
Healthcare
Healthcare division revenues increased 28% in the fourth quarter of 2025, while operating income increased 77%. Adjusted operating cash flow (non-GAAP) at Healthcare increased to $36.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, from $24.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.
CSI Pharmacy Holding Company, LLC (CSI) revenue increased 44% and operating results were up from an expansion of infusion treatment offerings and patient service areas.
Home health and hospice and other healthcare revenue increased 9% due to growth in home health and hospice services and at all the other healthcare businesses. Operating results improved significantly at home health and hospice due to revenue growth and a reduction in incentive compensation and pension expense in the fourth quarter of 2025. Operating results declined modestly at the other healthcare businesses.
The healthcare division recorded equity in earnings of $4.1 million and $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to its interests in home health and hospice joint ventures.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing revenues increased 24% in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to higher revenues at Hoover, Dekko and Joyce, partially offset by lower revenues at Forney. The revenue increase at Hoover is due largely to the Arconic acquisition, partially offset by a decline in overall product demand. Operating results were down in the fourth quarter of 2025 due largely to a significant decline in results at Hoover and a small decline in results at Joyce, partially offset by improved results at Dekko and Forney. Hoover results in the fourth quarter of 2025 included transition and intangible asset amortization costs related to the Arconic transaction, along with a substantial decline in Hoover’s core fire-retardant wood products business from the continued sluggish multi-family housing market.
Automotive
Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased 6% due to the closure of the Ourisman Jeep of Bethesda dealership in September 2025, and declines in new and used vehicle sales and sales of finance and insurance product offerings that was partly related to the adverse impacts of the federal government shutdown in the fourth quarter of 2025. This decline was partially offset by the Honda of Woodbridge acquisition in October 2025 and sales growth for services and parts. Operating results for the fourth quarter of 2025 declined due to lower sales and overall gross margins on new and used vehicles and a decline in finance and insurance product sales, partially offset by the Honda of Woodbridge acquisition and higher gross profit on services and parts. In addition, as a result of underperformance at the Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram automotive dealership from a continued decline in revenues, the Company recorded a $10.1 million intangible asset impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Overall, revenue from other businesses decreased 2% in the fourth 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 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:
