Exhibit 99.1

Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

On May 10, 2021, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company (“HMH Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company (the “Company” and together with HMH Sub, the "Sellers") completed the previously announced sale of all of the assets, including intellectual property, used primarily in its HMH Books & Media business (the “Business”) pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated March 26, 2021 (the “Agreement”) with HarperCollins Publishers L.L.C.  (the "Purchaser"), for cash consideration received by the Sellers of approximately $349.0 million, with net proceeds estimated to be approximately $337 million, and the Purchaser’s assumption of all liabilities relating to the Business subject to specified exceptions (collectively, the “Transaction”). The results of the Business were previously reported in the Company’s Books & Media segment, which has been classified as a discontinued operation since March 26, 2021 and reflected in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021, as filed on May 6, 2021.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 13, 2021.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented to comply with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and follow prescribed SEC regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements do not purport to present what the Company’s results would have been had the disposition actually occurred on the dates indicated or to project what the Company’s results of operations or financial position would have been for any future period. The prescribed regulations limit pro forma adjustments to those that are directly attributable to the disposition on a factually supported basis. Consequently, the Company was not permitted within the condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements to allocate to the disposed operations any indirect corporate overhead or costs, such as administrative corporate functions or any other costs that were shared with the retained business of the Company. As a result, such costs are not reflected in the pro forma adjustments and are included in the retained business of the Company. The pro forma adjustments are described in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements have been prepared for informational purposes and to assist in the analysis of the Company’s sale of the Business to the Purchaser. This information should be read together with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, assume the sale occurred on the first day of the earliest fiscal period presented and reflect the Business as a discontinued operation for the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable in the circumstances.
