Management Commentary
“Wiley’s revenue growth in this quarter was fueled by double-digit growth rates across most of our Education portfolio, as well as contributions from our newly acquired Talent Solutions businesses.  In addition, our journal revenues continued to grow at low-single-digit rates, supported by growth in subscriptions and author funded access,” said Steve Smith, President and CEO.  “Our solutions businesses achieved important new milestones, with CrossKnowledge rising to #8 in worldwide market share for Learning Management Systems and Deltak signing its first UK university partnership in late August.”

Fiscal Year 2015 Outlook
Wiley is reaffirming its fiscal year 2015 outlook of mid-single-digit revenue growth and EPS in a range of $3.25 to $3.35, including a 10-cent per share dilutive earnings impact from recently acquired CrossKnowledge and Profiles International.

Financial Highlights
·  
First quarter revenue grew 4% on a constant currency basis to $438 million due to strong organic growth in Education (+12%) and the contribution from recent acquisitions in Professional Development (+$9.6 million).  Including the impact of currency, revenue grew 7%.
·  
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) on a constant currency basis grew 8% to $0.56.  Adjusted EPS excludes certain one-time or unusual items in the prior year as further described in the attached reconciliation of US GAAP to Adjusted EPS. Adjusted EPS growth was due to revenue growth in Education and company-wide cost savings resulting from restructuring, partially offset by investments in technology and Education Services (Deltak) partnership programs. EPS on a US GAAP basis fell 8% primarily due to a large tax benefit in the year-ago period related to a UK corporate income tax rate reduction.
 
 
 

 
 
 
·  
Share Repurchases: Wiley repurchased 200,492 shares this quarter at a cost of $12.2 million, an average of $60.72 per share.
·  
Dividend: In June, the Board of Directors increased Wiley’s quarterly cash dividend by 16% to $0.29 per share on its Class A and Class B Common Stock.  It was the 21st consecutive annual increase.

Revised Allocations of Shared Services and Administrative Costs
As part of Wiley’s restructuring and reorganization program, the Company consolidated certain decentralized business functions (Content Management, Vendor Procurement Services, Marketing Services, etc.) into global shared service functions. These newly centralized service groups enable significant cost reduction opportunities, including efficiencies gained from standardized technology and centralized management. The costs of these functions were previously reported as direct operating expenses in each business segment but are now reported within the shared service functions.  Prior year amounts have been revised to reflect the same reporting methodology.

Adjusted Results
The Company provides financial measures referred to as “adjusted” revenue, contribution to profit, and EPS, which exclude restructuring charges and deferred tax benefits related to a UK corporate income tax rate reduction.  Variances to adjusted revenue, contribution to profit, and EPS are on a constant currency basis unless otherwise noted. Management believes the exclusion of such items provides additional information to facilitate the analysis of results.  These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the financial results reported in accordance with GAAP.

Foreign Exchange (“FX”)
Throughout this report, references are made to variances “excluding foreign exchange” or “on a constant currency basis”; such amounts exclude both currency translation effects and transactional gains and losses.  

RESEARCH
·  
Revenue:  First quarter revenue of $254.9 million was flat on a constant currency basis.  Growth in journal subscription revenue (+1%) and funded access (+54%) was offset by declines in other journal revenue (-1%), book sales (-8%), and other research revenue (-8%).
·  
Calendar Year 2014 Journal Subscriptions:  At the end of July, calendar year 2014 journal subscriptions were up 1.5% on a constant currency basis, with 98% of targeted business closed for the 2014 calendar year.
·  
Adjusted Contribution to Profit:  First quarter adjusted contribution to profit after allocated shared service and administrative costs of $69.7 million was flat on a constant currency basis, in line with the flat revenue trend.  Contribution to profit after allocated shared service and administrative costs on a US GAAP basis rose 6%.
·  
Society Business:  Two new society journals were signed in the quarter with combined annual revenue of $0.3 million; seven were renewed with approximately $11.4 million in combined annual revenue; and four were not renewed, worth $2.3 million annually.
·  
SimBioSys Acquisition:  In June 2014, Wiley announced the acquisition of SimBioSys Inc., a provider of scientific software tools that facilitate the drug discovery process.  SimBioSys is a pioneer in the field of computer-aided retrosynthetic analysis, where it supports chemists in the challenges of organic synthesis.  It was founded in 1996, privately held, and is based in Toronto, Canada.  Terms were not disclosed.
·  
Journal Impact Index:  In July, Wiley announced a continued increase in the number of its journal titles indexed in the Thomson Reuters® 2013 Journal Citation Reports (JCR).  A total of 1,202 Wiley titles were indexed, up from 1,193 in the previous year report, with 27 Wiley journals achieving the top rank in their respective categories, compared to 25 in 2012.  The Thomson Reuters index is a barometer of journal influence and impact.

 
 
 

 
 
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
·  
Revenue:  First quarter revenue grew 9% on a constant currency basis to $92.3 million due to revenue from recent acquisitions, including a one-month contribution from CrossKnowledge (+$4.1 million) and a full quarter contribution from Profiles International (+$5.5 million).  Excluding the contributions from both acquisitions, revenue was down 3% from prior year as declines in book sales (-3%) exceeded growth in post-hire assessment (+16%) and online test preparation (+4%).   Financial results for the recently acquired CrossKnowledge subsidiary will be reported on a two-month delay pending implementation of reporting process improvements.
·  
Adjusted Contribution to Profit:  First quarter adjusted contribution to profit after allocated shared service and administrative costs more than tripled to $7.8 million, principally due to savings from the company’s restructuring program.  Contribution to profit after allocated shared service and administrative costs on a US GAAP basis rose by $8.9 million to $7.6 million.
·  
Assessment Program Launch:  Wiley, in collaboration with best-selling author Patrick Lencioni, has launched The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team™, an assessment-based facilitation tool and program designed to help professionals and their organizations build cohesive, effective teams.  Powered by Wiley’s Everything DiSC® assessment platform, The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team is showing strong momentum since its release in June.
·  
CrossKnowledge Ranking:  In a recently released Bersin by Deloitte report entitled, “Global Market for Learning Management Systems 2014,” CrossKnowledge was ranked 8th in worldwide market share for Learning Management Systems, up from 12th a year ago.  Learning Management Systems (LMS) are defined as training technologies that enable companies to develop and share content, deliver instructional materials to employees, and administer formal training.  Bersin by Deloitte estimates that spending on LMS applications will grow 21% to more than $2.5 billion in 2014.
·  
Alliance:  Wiley has partnered with the Chinese Cultural University to distribute the CPAexcel® test preparation platform in China.

EDUCATION
·  
Revenue:  First quarter revenue on a constant currency basis grew 12% to $90.7 million, due to growth in print textbooks (+8%), digital books (+36%), and custom products (+20%).  The favorable pace of growth was driven by a combination of earlier ordering patterns at US bookstores and new adoptions at US high schools.  Education Services (Deltak) revenue grew by 10%.
·  
Adjusted Contribution to Profit:  First quarter adjusted contribution to profit after shared service and administrative costs grew 58% to $8.7 million, reflecting revenue growth and cost savings.   Contribution to profit after allocated shared service and administrative costs on a US GAAP basis grew 59% to $8.7 million.
·  
Education Services:  As of July 31, 2014, Deltak had 36 university partners, compared to 33 in the prior year period.  During the quarter, the Company signed one new partner, a highly prestigious US university and the largest contract in its history.  Two expiring partnerships, totaling five programs, concluded during the quarter.  After the quarter closed, Deltak signed its first UK university partnership.  At quarter end, Deltak had 179 programs under contract (47 in development but not yet generating revenue) compared to 173 programs in the previous quarter (53 in development) and 129 programs in the prior year period (29 in development).  Note:  Wiley has revised previously reported Deltak program counts. The revised program count had no impact on current or previously reported financial results.  Please see the Company’s first quarter fiscal year 2015 10Q for the fiscal year 2014 revised program counts by quarter.

 Adjustments:
         
 (A)
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES: The adjusted results exclude restructuring (credits) charges related to the Company's Restructuring and Reinvestment Program of ($0.2 million) for fiscal year 2015 and $7.8 million, or $0.08 per share, for fiscal year 2014.
 
 (B)
Deferred Income Tax Benefit on UK Rate Change: The adjusted results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 exclude deferred tax benefits of $10.6 million, or $0.18 per share, associated with tax legislation enacted in the United Kingdom that reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rates by 3%.  The benefits reflect the remeasurement of the Company's deferred tax balances to the new income tax rates of 21% effective April 1, 2014 and 20% effective April 1, 2015 and had no current cash tax impact.
 
             
             
Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
         
In addition to providing financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided adjusted financial results that exclude the impact of other nonrecurring items described in more detail throughout this press release.  These non-GAAP financial measures are labeled as "Adjusted" and are used for evaluating the results of operations for internal purposes.  These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with GAAP.  Rather, the Company believes the exclusion of such items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations. Unless otherwise noted, adjusted amounts in the attached schedules include foreign exchange.
