Tailwinds

  • Anticipated levels of new customer acquisition as students return during back-to-school.
  • Higher ARPM and retention improvements stemming from our focus on premium Learning Memberships.
  • Return to durable and profitable growth as we exit the year.
  • improvements to our marketplace infrastructure systems, including: session scheduling enhancements, and invoice and tutor substitution automation improvements
  • Collectively are expected to meaningfully improve gross margin during the back-to-school period and on a go-forward basis

Headwinds

  • Consumer revenue is impacted by the higher than expected level of seasonal end of school year and summer cancellations
  • Fewer Active Members than anticipated as we enter the upcoming back-to-school period coupled with lower ARPM.
  • Third quarter revenue guidance reflects the quarterly low point in revenue during the year due to normal seasonality and the resulting lower revenues from Varsity Tutors for Schools when K12 schools and universities are on summer break.
  • Third quarter adjusted EBITDA guidance reflects the impact of seasonally lower revenue and higher variable costs in the third quarter as we ramp into the back-to-school selling season
  • Varsity Tutors for Schools sales team onboarding which has resulted in lower than anticipated bookings during the summer months and a more back-weighted bookings expectation as we enter the 2024-2025 school year.
