    Prepared Remarks - Nathan Schultz, CEO & President Chegg, Inc.

    Thank you, Tracey. Hello and thank you for joining Chegg's second-quarter 2025 earnings call. Today's call will be structured in two areas: first, an update on the strategic review process; and second, detail and depth on our transformation to profitable growth, specifically within Skills and Busuu, which we believe will be the growth engines for Chegg going forward.

    As part of the strategic review process, in conjunction with our advisors, we have undertaken a comprehensive evaluation of both our internal operations and the broader market landscape to drive the best possible outcome for our stockholders and maximize long-term shareholder value. As a reminder, we are exploring a range of outcomes including being acquired, undertaking a go-private transaction, or remaining as a public standalone company. We continue to engage with a select group of parties.

    Q2 was a good quarter for Chegg. We surpassed our guidance and delivered $105 million in revenue and $23 million in adjusted EBITDA. I'm pleased by our continued focus on disciplined expense management, having identified an additional $17 million in CapEx and expense savings that we will realize in 2026. Additionally, I'm encouraged by the revenue growth in Busuu, and the reinvention of Chegg Study into a Personalized Learning Assistant that continues to get less expensive to run thanks to AI. We remain firmly on track to achieve the targets outlined in our previously announced restructuring efforts and reduce non-GAAP expenses by $165 -175 million in 2025 and now expect the total non-GAAP expense savings in 2026 to be $110-120 million.

    As we look towards 2026, Chegg is evolving into a skills focused organization, investing in two large growth areas: language learning, and workplace readiness and upskilling. These businesses, Busuu and Skills respectively, represent the future of our company and will serve as our primary growth engines, while our core academic product, Chegg Study, will remain a valuable service for millions of students and generate meaningful cash that will support our investments in Busuu and Skills.

    Busuu, is our language learning business that caters to adults who need to learn a new language to better their life or career. This is an enormous market of 78 million success seeking learners with a $3.2 billion market opportunity. Our recent investments are paying off, and if you haven't tried Busuu yet, now's a great time—we encourage you to explore our new AI-powered features, including our new speaking bites product.

    Busuu continues on a strong path, achieving a 15% year-over-year revenue increase in Q2, with good performance in both the B2C and B2B segments.

    • Busuu's B2C revenue increased 6% year-over-year. In the second half of the year, B2C focus will be on product innovation with continued emphasis on AI as a driver for personalization
    • Busuu's B2B business achieved an even more impressive 39% year-over-year revenue growth, continuing a robust double-digit growth trajectory, including retention improving by 22 percentage points year over year. Throughout H2, we will continue our rollout with Guild into the English learning vertical and expand our offering with Learning Pathways , which offer personalized courses focused on key language and professional skills for specific roles and industries. We have had significant B2B traction in the DACH region with new partners such as HSF Fenster & Turen and Hubert Burda Media.

    We remain confident that Busuu will achieve approximately $48 million of revenue in 2025 and will be adjusted EBITDA positive by the first quarter of 2026.

    Our Skills business focuses on the $40 billion dollar market serving workplace readiness and upskilling for professional adults looking to move ahead in their careers.

    We spent the last 12 months modernizing our product offering and prioritizing three growth areas: AI programs, career fundamentals and professional upskilling. We're really excited to be seeing exactly what we want: enrollments have increased 16% quarter over quarter, and an 11% increase in monthly active users across our new programs quarter over quarter.

    Looking ahead to Q3, we will continue to invest in and expand our go-to-market strategy for Skills. Here are our priorities:

    • We are focusing on growing our direct B2B presence as well as deepening relationships with distribution partners such as Guild.
    • We are also pursuing ACE Credit recommendations for several of our Skills programs to count for college credits, helping to better support those seeking degrees and creating a bridge for us to monetize students as they transition from our academic services to our career services.
    • Finally, we are continuing to strengthen and broaden our programs, expanding our reaching into the enormous upskilling market opportunity. For a complete view of our skills catalog, please reference our Investor Deck.

    We are optimistic about the potential for our Skills business and believe it is on a path to profitability and positive double digit revenue growth in 2026.

    Chegg Study continues to serve millions of students, and our investments in AI have transformed Chegg Study into a personalized learning coach that helps students succeed and improve their opportunity to graduate. Earlier this year we launched Solution Scout and AI-powered practice and flashcard generators. We're getting positive feedback, with students reporting a 23% lift in the statement "Chegg helped me learn today" and a 17% lift in students who "intend to use Chegg in the next 30 days." Most importantly, our monthly retention rate was up 117 basis points in Q2.

    For the rest of 2025, we'll continue to push the differentiated and personalized nature of our product. Research from the Pew Center confirms that the freshman class of 2025 is expected to be the biggest, most diverse ever. This September, we'll introduce two new core capabilities into the existing user interface; pushing Chegg Study into a personalized learning coach for the modern learner:

    • First, we are building a smart planning tool to help students set learning goals, organize their work, and stay on track with personalized, step-by-step guidance.
    • Second, we are introducing a voice interface that, when combined with visual aids and a thoughtful AI agent, will enable deeper learning across topics and disciplines. Voice matters for learnings because it improves comprehension and memory, clarifies thinking and increases engagement.

    Finally, our business-to-institution pilot program continues to expand, moving from 5 active pilot programs at the start of the year, to now 23. With many pilots in place, we are focused on efficacy studies validating what we have always known: students who use Chegg perform better academically. We believe there is a tremendous opportunity to support a broader range of students in achieving their academic goals while increasing persistence and graduation rates.

    To wrap us up, we continue to make progress towards the strategic alternatives process, and are pleased with the positive trends we've seen in Busuu and Skills, and the technology investments we've made in Chegg Study to allow the business to run efficiently and be the investment vehicle for the company in 2026.

    With that, I'll turn it over to David.

    Prepared Remarks - David Longo, CFO Chegg, Inc.

    Thank you, Nathan and good afternoon.

    Today, I will be presenting our financial performance for the second quarter of 2025, along with the company's outlook for the third quarter.

    We delivered a good second quarter, exceeding our guidance on both revenue and adjusted EBITDA. We continue to prioritize disciplined cost management in line with our business outlook. We are on target to fully realize the non-GAAP expense savings objectives we previously announced of $165 - $175 million in 2025, and $100 - $110 million in 2026. As Nathan highlighted earlier, we are not stopping there. We have identified an additional $10 million of operating expense savings and $7 million in CapEx savings in 2026. Expense discipline is now in our DNA, and we are committed to unlocking each and every opportunity to strengthen cash flow and create shareholder value.

    In the second quarter, total revenue was $105 million, a decrease of 36% year-over-year. This includes Subscription Services revenue of $90 million. We had 2.6 million subscribers during the quarter, representing a year-over-year decline of 40%, as we continue to feel the impact of lower traffic, largely due to Google AI Overviews. Despite the traffic trends, retention and ARPU increased year over year, demonstrating that when students find Chegg, they value the service and are retaining as well as ever. Skills and Other revenue was $15 million in the quarter, which includes approximately $7 million of revenue from content licensing. As we outlined last quarter, these content licensing agreements are non-exclusive and for a small percentage of our content.

    Non-GAAP operating expenses were $64 million in the quarter, a reduction of approximately $31 million, or 33%, year-over-year, driven by the execution of our multiple restructurings.

    Our second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $23 million, representing a margin of 22%.

    Capital expenditures for the quarter were $7 million, a decrease of 60% year-over-year. We anticipate full-year 2025 CapEx of approximately $30 million, with a targeted further reduction of approximately 50% in 2026. Through innovative use of AI, we are on track to reduce content and software development CapEx by over $50 Million in 2026 versus 2024, while still delivering a high-quality experience that our students expect from us.

    Free cash flow for the second quarter was negative $12 million, which was impacted by severance payments of $12.5M related to our restructuring, as well as our annual pre-payment for hosting expenses.

    Looking at the balance sheet, we concluded the quarter with cash and investments of $114.1 million and a net cash balance of $52 million.

    Looking ahead, for Q3 guidance, we expect:

    • Total revenue between $75 and $77 million, with Subscription Services revenue between $67 and $69 million;
    • Gross margin to be in the range of 56 to 57 percent;
    • And adjusted EBITDA between $7 and $8 million.

    In closing, we have adapted our business in response to evolving consumer expectations and ongoing market turbulence. We are especially encouraged by the momentum we are seeing in Busuu, as well as the strong potential of Skills, and for both to be significant growth drivers in our portfolio. We are investing in these platforms to accelerate growth and ensure they remain key drivers of long-term shareholder value. At the same time, we continue to align our cost structure to support our priorities of generating cash flow and maximizing value for shareholders. Finally, I am pleased to announce that we have successfully cured our stock price deficiency during the quarter and regained compliance with the NYSE's price listing requirements.

    With that, I will turn the call over to the operator for your questions.

    Use of Non-GAAP Measures

    To supplement Chegg's financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP weighted average shares, non-GAAP net income per share, and free cash flow. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, "Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA," "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures," "Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow," and "Reconciliation of Forward-Looking Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA."

    The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Chegg defines (1) adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, adjusted for share-based compensation expense, other income, net, acquisition-related compensation costs, impairment expense, restructuring charges, content and related assets charge and transitional logistic charges; (2) non-GAAP cost of revenues as cost of revenues excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related compensation costs, restructuring charges, content and related assets charge, and transitional logistic charges; (3) non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, acquisition-related compensation costs, restructuring charges, content and related assets charge, and transitional logistic charges; (4) non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by net revenues, (5) non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related compensation costs, restructuring charges, impairment expense, impairment of lease related assets, and loss contingency; (6) non-GAAP income from operations as loss from operations excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related compensation costs, restructuring charges, impairment expense, content and related assets charge, impairment of lease related assets, loss contingency, and transitional logistic charges; (7) non-GAAP net income as net loss excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related compensation costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, restructuring charges, impairment expense, content and related assets charge, impairment of lease related assets, gain on sale of strategic equity investment, gain on early extinguishment of debt, loss contingency and transitional logistic charges; (8) non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding as weighted average shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of shares for stock plan activity and shares related to our convertible senior notes, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding; (9) non-GAAP net income per share is defined as non-GAAP net income divided by non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding; and (10) free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment. To the extent additional significant non-recurring items arise in the future, Chegg may consider whether to exclude such items in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses.

    Chegg believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Chegg's performance by excluding items that may not be indicative of Chegg's core business, operating results or future outlook. Chegg management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Chegg's operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods and believes that such measures enhance investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of Chegg's performance to prior periods.

    As presented in the "Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA," "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures," "Reconciliation of Forward-Looking Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA," and "Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow," tables below, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes or includes one or more of the following items:

    Share-based compensation expense.

    Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond Chegg's control. As a result, management excludes this item from Chegg's internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted for share-based compensation expense provide investors with a basis to measure Chegg's core performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by share-based compensation as a result of the variety of equity awards used by other companies and the varying methodologies and assumptions used.

    Amortization of intangible assets.

    Chegg amortizes intangible assets, including those that contribute to generating revenues, that it acquires in conjunction with acquisitions, which results in non‑cash expenses that may not otherwise have been incurred. Chegg believes excluding the expense associated with intangible assets from non-GAAP measures allows for a more accurate assessment of its ongoing operations and provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results. No corresponding adjustments have been made related to revenues generated from acquired intangible assets.

    Acquisition-related compensation costs.

    Acquisition-related compensation costs include compensation expense resulting from the employment retention of certain key employees established in accordance with the terms of the acquisitions. In most cases, these acquisition-related compensation costs are not factored into management's evaluation of potential acquisitions or Chegg's performance after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to Chegg's core operating performance. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges can vary significantly based on the size and timing of acquisitions and the maturities of the businesses being acquired. Excluding acquisition-related compensation costs from non-GAAP measures provides investors with a basis to compare Chegg's results against those of other companies without the variability caused by purchase accounting.

    Amortization of debt issuance costs.

    The difference between the effective interest expense and the contractual interest expense are excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash expenses are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Chegg believes that the exclusion of the non-cash interest expense provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

    Content and related assets charge.

    The content and related assets charge represents a write off of certain content and related assets. The content and related assets charge is excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because it is the result of a discrete event that is not considered core-operating activities. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the content and related assets charge from non-GAAP financial measures because it enables the comparison of period-over-period operating results.

    Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments.

    We utilize a non-GAAP effective tax rate for evaluating our operating results, which is based on our current mid-term projections. This non-GAAP tax rate could change for various reasons including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, changes to our corporate structure and other significant events. Chegg believes that the inclusion of the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

    Restructuring charges.

    Restructuring charges represent expenses incurred in conjunction with a reduction in workforce. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude them from non-GAAP financial measures because they are nonrecurring and the result of an event that is not considered a core-operating activity. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the restructuring charges from non-GAAP financial measures because it provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

    Impairment expense.

    Impairment expense represents the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude them from non-GAAP financial measures because they are the result of discrete events that are not considered core-operating activities and are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the impairment expense from non-GAAP financial measures because it provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

    Impairment of lease related assets.

    The impairment of lease related assets represents impairment charge recorded on the ROU asset and leasehold improvements associated with the closure of our offices. The impairment of lease related assets is the result of an event that is not considered a core-operating activity and we believe its exclusion provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

    Loss contingency.

    We record a contingent liability for a loss contingency related to legal matters when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. The loss contingency is excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are the result of discrete events that are not considered core-operating activities. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the loss contingency from non-GAAP financial measures because it enables the comparison of period-over-period operating results.

    Impairment of strategic equity investment.

    The impairment of strategic equity investment represents a one-time event to record an impairment charge on our strategic equity investment. The impairment of strategic equity investment is a non-cash expense and we believe the exclusion from non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period results.

    Gain on sale of strategic equity investment.

    The gain on sale of strategic equity investment represents a one-time event to record the sale of our equity investment in Sound Ventures. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude the gain from non-GAAP financial measure because it is the result of an event that is not considered a core-operating activity and we believe its exclusion provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

    Gain on early extinguishment of debt.

    The difference between the carrying amount of early extinguished debt and the reacquisition price is excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash gains are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Chegg believes that the exclusion of the gain on early extinguishment of debt provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.

    Effect of shares for stock plan activity.

    The effect of shares for stock plan activity represents the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding.

    Effect of shares related to convertible senior notes.

    The effect of shares related to convertible senior notes represents the dilutive impact of our convertible senior notes, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding.

    Free cash flow.

    Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment. Chegg considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Chegg's business and make strategic acquisitions. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in Chegg's cash balance for the period.

    Forward-Looking Statements
