Forward guidance

Nerdy expects continued revenue growth and profitability improvements, driven by recurring revenue streams and scaling of the Institutional business. Third quarter revenue guidance reflects normal seasonality. Full year revenue guidance reflects normal back-to-school seasonality.

Tailwinds

  • Completion of the evolution towards recurring revenue streams in our Consumer business
  • Increase in the number of Learning Membership subscribers
  • Higher Institutional revenues
  • Recurring revenue products which focus on long-term relationships with higher value customers
  • Improving gross margin profile, and further operating efficiencies stemming from the completion of our evolution to recurring revenue business models

Headwinds

  • Third quarter revenue guidance reflects the quarterly low point in revenue during the year, which is due to normal seasonality
  • Lower revenues from Learning Membership, legacy package customers and Varsity Tutors for Schools when K12 schools and universities are on summer break
  • Third quarter adjusted EBITDA guidance reflects the impact of lower revenue due to normal summer seasonality
  • Higher variable costs in the third quarter as we ramp into the back-to-school selling season
  • We expect an adjusted EBITDA loss in a range of $8-10 million for the third quarter of 2023
