1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Graham Holdings Company (the Company), is a diversified education and media company. The Company’s Kaplan subsidiary provides a wide variety of educational services, both domestically and outside the United States (U.S.). The Company’s media operations comprise the ownership and operation of 7 television broadcasting stations, several websites and print publications, podcast content and a marketing solutions provider. The Company’s other business operations include manufacturing, automotive dealerships, consumer internet brands, restaurants and entertainment venues, custom framing services and home health and hospice services.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: (i) generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information; (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q; and (iii) the guidance of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They include the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, including its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. As permitted under such rules, certain notes and other financial information normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented herein. The Company’s results of operations for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020 may not be indicative of the Company’s future results. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported herein. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates.

The Company assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information, in context with the information reasonably available to the Company and the unknown future impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and through the date of this filing. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, the Company’s carrying value of goodwill and other long-lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and related reserves, fair value of financial assets, valuation allowances for tax assets and revenue recognition. Other than the goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment charges (see Note 6 and Note 8), there were no other impacts to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 resulting from our assessments. The Company’s assessments as of and for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020 resulted in goodwill, indefinite-lived asset and other long-lived asset impairment charges (see Note 6 and Note 8). The Company’s future assessment of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF BUSINESSES

Acquisitions. On June 14, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Leaf Group Ltd. (Leaf) for $308.6 million in cash and the assumption of $9.2 million in liabilities related to their previous stock compensation plan, which will be paid in the future. Leaf is a consumer internet company that builds creator-driven brands in lifestyle and home and art design categories. The acquisition is expected to provide benefits in the future by diversifying the Company’s business operations and providing operating synergies with other business units. The Company includes Leaf in other businesses.

During 2020, the Company acquired 3 businesses: 2 in education and 1 in other businesses for $96.8 million in cash and contingent consideration. The assets and liabilities of the companies acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

In the first three months of 2020, Kaplan acquired 2 small businesses; 1 in its supplemental education division and 1 in its international division.

In May 2020, the Company acquired an additional interest in Framebridge, Inc. for cash and contingent consideration that resulted in the Company obtaining control of the investee. Following the acquisition, the Company owns 93.4% of Framebridge. The Company previously accounted for Framebridge under the equity method, and included it in Investments in Affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet (see Note 3). The contingent consideration is primarily based on Framebridge achieving revenue milestones within a specific time period. The fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date was $50.6 million, determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in Framebridge was $6.0 million as of the acquisition date, determined using a market approach. The minority shareholder has an option to put 20% of the minority shares annually starting in 2024. The acquisition is expected to provide benefits in the future by diversifying the Company’s business operations and is included in other businesses.

Acquisition-related costs for acquisitions that closed during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021 and 2020 were ~~$1.4~~$1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and were expensed as incurred. The aggregate purchase price of the 2021 and 2020 acquisitions was allocated as follows (2021 on a preliminary basis), based on acquisition date fair values to the following assets and liabilities:

The 2021 fair values recorded were based upon preliminary valuations and the estimates and assumptions used in such valuations are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The recording of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the amounts of residual goodwill and other intangibles are not yet finalized. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill recorded due to these acquisitions is attributable to the assembled workforces of the acquired companies and expected synergies. The Company expects to deduct $43.4 million and $3.2 million of goodwill for income tax purposes for the acquisitions completed in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The acquired companies were consolidated into the Company’s financial statements starting on their respective acquisition dates. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the third quarter of 2021 include aggregate revenues and operating losses for the company acquired in 2021 of $57.5 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include aggregate revenues and operating losses of $66.7 million and $9.1 million, respectively, for the first nine months of 2021. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company’s results as if the current year acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 2020. The unaudited pro forma information also includes the 2020 acquisitions as if they occurred at the beginning of 2019:

These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable, and include the historical results of operations of the acquired companies and adjustments for depreciation and

amortization of identified assets and the effect of pre-acquisition transaction related expenses incurred by the Company and the acquired entities. The pro forma information does not include efficiencies, cost reductions and synergies expected to result from the acquisitions. They are not the results that would have been realized had these

entities been part of the Company during the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations in future periods.

Investments in Affiliates. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company held an approximate 12% interest in Intersection Holdings, LLC, and in several other affiliates; Graham Healthcare Group (GHG) held a 40% interest in Residential Home Health Illinois, a 42.5% interest in Residential Hospice Illinois, a 40% interest in the joint venture formed between GHG and a Michigan hospital, and a 40% interest in the joint venture formed between GHG and Allegheny Health Network (AHN). For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recorded ~~$2.7~~$2.8 million and ~~$5.2~~$8.0 million, respectively, in revenue for services provided to the affiliates of GHG. For the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, the Company recorded ~~$2.2~~$2.4 million and ~~$4.7~~$7.1 million, respectively, in revenue for services provided to the affiliates of GHG.

In the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $6.6 million on 1 of its investments in affiliates as a result of the challenging economic environment for this business following an announcement by the Chinese government to reform the education sector for private education companies. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3.6 million on 2 of its investments in affiliates as a result of the challenging economic environment for these businesses, of which $2.7 million related to the Company’s investment in Framebridge. It is reasonably possible that further COVID-19 disruptions could result in additional impairment charges related to the Company’s investments in affiliates should the impact of COVID-19

not dissipate or have a worsening adverse impact on our affiliates in future periods. The Company records its share of the earnings or losses of its affiliates from their most recent available financial statements. In some instances, the reporting period of the affiliates’ financial statements lags the Company’s financial reporting period, but such lag is never more than three months. It is possible that the Company’s results of operations for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 does not capture the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the earnings or losses of the affiliates whose financial results are recorded on a lag basis.

In May 2020, the Company made an additional investment in Framebridge (see Note 2) that resulted in the Company obtaining control of the investee. The results of operations, cash flows, assets and liabilities of Framebridge are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company from the date of the acquisition. Timothy J. O’Shaughnessy, President and Chief Executive Officer of Graham Holdings Company, was a personal investor in Framebridge and served as Chairman of the Board prior to the acquisition of the additional interest. The Company acquired Mr. O’Shaughnessy’s interest under the same terms as the other Framebridge investors.

Additionally, Kaplan International Holdings Limited (KIHL) held a 45% interest in a joint venture formed with York University.

Cost Method Investments. The Company held investments without readily determinable fair values in a number of equity securities that are accounted for as cost method investments, which are recorded at cost, less impairment, and adjusted for observable price changes for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. The carrying value of these investments was ~~$45.1~~$48.5 million and $35.7 million as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the ~~three and six~~first nine months ~~ended June 30,~~of 2021, the Company recorded gains of ~~$7.8~~$10.5 million to those equity securities based on observable transactions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded gains of $1.6 million and ~~$10.5~~$4.2 million, respectively, to those equity securities based on observable transactions. During the ~~three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded gains of $2.6 million to those equity securities based on observable transactions. During the~~ first ~~six~~nine months of 2020, the Company recorded impairment losses of $2.6 million to those equity securities.

The Company finances new and used vehicle inventory through a standardized floor plan facility (the “floor plan facility”) with Truist Bank. The vehicle floor plan facility bears interest at variable rates that are based on LIBOR plus 1.15% per annum. The weighted average interest rate for the floor plan facility was ~~1.2%~~0.9% and ~~1.6%~~1.2% for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the floor plan facility was ~~1.2%~~1.1% and ~~2.2%~~1.9% for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the aggregate capacity under the floor plan facility was $50 million, of which ~~$16.4~~$10.9 million had been utilized, and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Changes in the vehicle floor plan payable are reported as cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The floor plan facility is collateralized by vehicle inventory and other assets of the relevant dealership subsidiary, and contains a number of covenants, including, among others, covenants restricting the dealership subsidiary with respect to the creation of liens and changes in ownership, officers and key management personnel. The Company was in compliance with all of these restrictive covenants as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

The floor plan interest expense related to the vehicle floor plan arrangements is offset by amounts received from manufacturers in the form of floor plan assistance capitalized in inventory and recorded against cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the associated inventory is sold. For the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a reduction in cost of goods sold of ~~$0.8~~$0.7 million and ~~$0.5~~$0.6 million, respectively, related to manufacturer floor plan assistance. For the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a reduction in cost of goods sold of ~~$1.4~~$2.1 million and ~~$0.9~~$1.5 million, respectively, related to manufacturer floor plan assistance.

6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company changed the presentation of its segments in the third quarter of 2021 into the following 7 segments: Kaplan International, Higher Education, Supplemental Education, Television Broadcasting, Manufacturing, Healthcare and Automotive (see Note 16).

In the third quarter of 2021, as a result of the emergence of the COVID-19 Delta variant and continued weak product demand in the commercial office electrical products and hospitality sectors caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed an interim review of the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles of the Dekko reporting unit. As a result of the impairment review, the Company recorded a $26.7 million goodwill impairment charge. The Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit by utilizing a discounted cash flow model. The carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value after taking into account the effect of deferred income taxes. Dekko is included in manufacturing.

In the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the uncertainty and challenging operating environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company performed an interim review of the goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and other long-lived assets of the Clyde’s Restaurant Group (CRG) and automotive dealership reporting units and asset groups. As a result of the impairment reviews, the Company recorded a $9.7 million goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge at CRG and a $6.7 million indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge at the auto dealerships. The Company estimated the fair value of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets by utilizing a discounted cash flow model. The carrying value of the CRG reporting unit and the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded the estimated fair value, resulting in a goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value. CRG is included in other businesses and the automotive dealerships are included in ~~other businesses.~~ automotive.

Additional COVID-19 disruptions could result in future adverse changes in projections for future operating results or other key assumptions, such as projected revenue, profit margin, capital expenditures or cash flows associated with fair value estimates and could lead to additional future impairments, which could be material.

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, was ~~$13.9~~$16.0 million and ~~$14.3~~$14.2 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, was ~~$27.8~~$43.8 million and ~~$28.5~~$42.6 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets is estimated to be approximately ~~$32~~$16 million for the remainder of 2021, $60 million in 2022, $51 million in 2023, $40 million in 2024, $33 million in 2025 and $48 million thereafter.

(2)			Includes U.S. Government Securities, corporate bonds, mutual funds and time deposits. These investments are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of the security or inputs that include quoted market prices for similar instruments and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
(3)			Includes Graham Holdings Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan and supplemental savings plan benefits under the Graham Holdings Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which are included in accrued compensation and related benefits. These plans measure the market value of a participant’s balance in a notional investment account that is comprised primarily of mutual funds, which are based on observable market prices. However, since the deferred compensation obligations are not exchanged in an active market, they are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation are included in operating income.
(4)			Included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other Liabilities. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities using either a Monte Carlo simulation or probability-weighted analysis depending on the type of target included in the contingent consideration requirements (revenue, EBITDA, client retention). All analyses included estimated financial projections for the acquired businesses and acquisition-specific discount rates.
(5)			Included in Other Liabilities. The Company utilized a market approach model using the notional amount of the interest rate swap multiplied by the observable inputs of time to maturity and market interest rates.
(6)			The fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is based on the fair value of the underlying subsidiaries owned by GHC One, after taking into account any debt and other noncontrolling interests of its subsidiary investments. The fair value of the owned subsidiaries is determined using enterprise value analyses which include an equal weighing between guideline public company and discounted cash flow analyses.
(7)			The Company’s money market investments are included in cash and cash equivalents and the value considers the liquidity of the counterparty.
(8)			Included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and valued based on a valuation model that calculates the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

The Department of Health and Human Services started to recoup this advance 365 days after the payment was issued and for the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, ~~$5.0~~$6.6 million and $11.6 million of the balance was recognized in revenue for claims submitted for eligible services. The remaining amount is included in the current deferred revenue balance on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the $31.5 million balance was included in the current and noncurrent deferred revenue balances on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The majority of the change in deferred revenue balance is related to the cyclical nature of services in the Kaplan international division. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recognized ~~$226.4~~$257.4 million related to the Company’s deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2020.

Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents deferred revenue amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the deferred revenue balance related to certain medical and nursing qualifications with an original contract length greater than twelve months at Kaplan Supplemental Education was ~~$8.0~~$9.4 million. Kaplan Supplemental Education expects to recognize ~~72%~~68% of this revenue over the next twelve months and the remainder thereafter.

11. EARNINGS ~~(LOSS)~~ PER SHARE

The Company’s unvested restricted stock awards contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and, therefore, are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The diluted earnings per share computed under the two-class method is lower than the diluted earnings per share computed under the treasury stock method, resulting in the presentation of the lower amount in diluted earnings per share. The computation of the earnings per share under the two-class method excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted stock awards from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares from the denominator.

The following reflects the Company’s net income ~~(loss)~~ and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings ~~(loss)~~ per share computations using the two-class method:

Defined Benefit Plan Assets. The Company’s defined benefit pension obligations are funded by a portfolio made up of a private investment fund, a U.S. stock index fund, and a relatively small number of stocks and high-quality fixed-income securities that are held by a third-party trustee. The assets of the Company’s pension plans were allocated as follows:


		As of					As of
		June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020			September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020

U.S. equities	U.S. equities	60	%	58	%	U.S. equities	60	%	58	%
Private investment fund	Private investment fund	18	%	18	%	Private investment fund	18	%	18	%

		100	%	100	%		100	%	100	%

The Company manages approximately 40% of the pension assets internally, of which the majority is invested in a private investment fund with the remaining investments in Berkshire Hathaway stock, a U.S. stock index fund and short-term fixed-income securities. The remaining 60% of plan assets are managed by 2 investment companies. The goal of the investment managers is to produce moderate long-term growth in the value of these assets, while protecting them against large decreases in value. Both investment managers may invest in a combination of equity and fixed-income securities and cash. The managers are not permitted to invest in securities of the Company or in alternative investments. One investment manager cannot invest more than 15% of the assets at the time of purchase in the stock of Alphabet and Berkshire Hathaway, and no more than 30% of the assets it manages in specified international exchanges at the time the investment is made. The other investment manager cannot invest more than 20% of the assets at the time of purchase in the stock of Berkshire Hathaway, and no more than 15% of the assets it manages in specified international exchanges at the time the investment is made, and no less than 10% of the assets could be invested in fixed-income securities. Excluding the exceptions noted above, the

investment managers cannot invest more than 10% of the assets in the securities of any other single issuer, except for obligations of the U.S. Government, without receiving prior approval from the Plan administrator.

In determining the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. In addition, the Company may consult with and consider the input of financial and other professionals in developing appropriate return benchmarks.

The Company evaluated its defined benefit pension plan asset portfolio for the existence of significant concentrations (defined as greater than 10% of plan assets) of credit risk as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021. Types of concentrations that were evaluated include, but are not limited to, investment concentrations in a single entity, type of industry, foreign country and individual fund. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the pension plan held investments in 1 common stock and 1 private investment fund that exceeded 10% of total plan assets, valued at ~~$976.9~~$967.0 million, or approximately ~~31%~~30% of total plan assets. At December 31, 2020, the pension plan held investments in 1 common stock and 1 private investment fund that exceeded 10% of total plan assets, valued at $850.6 million, or approximately 30% of total plan assets.

Other Postretirement Plans. The total cost arising from the Company’s other postretirement plans consists of the following components:

The gains on cost method investments result from observable price changes in the fair value of the underlying equity securities accounted for under the cost method (see Notes 3 and 8).

During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company recorded contingent consideration gains of ~~$0.6~~$1.3 million and ~~$1.5~~$2.8 million, respectively, related to the disposition of Kaplan University (KU) in 2018. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2020, the Company recorded contingent consideration gains of ~~$1.7~~$0.8 million and ~~$1.8~~$2.5 million, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company made an additional investment in Framebridge (see Notes 2 and 3) that resulted in the Company obtaining control of the investee. The Company remeasured its previously held equity interest in Framebridge at the acquisition-date fair value and recorded a gain of $3.7 million. The fair value was determined using a market approach by using the share value indicated in the transaction.

15. CONTINGENCIES

Litigation, Legal and Other Matters. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to complaints and administrative proceedings and are defendants in various civil lawsuits that have arisen in the ordinary course of their businesses, including contract disputes; actions alleging negligence, libel, defamation and invasion of privacy; trademark, copyright and patent infringement; violations of employment laws and applicable wage and hour laws; and statutory or common law claims involving current and former students and employees. Although the outcomes of the legal claims and proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management believes that there are 0no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, based on currently available information, management believes it is reasonably possible that future losses from existing and threatened legal, regulatory and other proceedings in excess of the amounts recorded could reach approximately ~~$10~~$15 million.

In 2015, Kaplan sold substantially all of the assets of the Kaplan Higher Education Campuses (KHEC) business to Education Corporation of America. In 2018, certain subsidiaries of Kaplan contributed the institutional assets and operations of KU to a new university: an Indiana nonprofit, public-benefit corporation affiliated with Purdue University, known as Purdue University Global. Kaplan could be held liable to the current owners of KU and the KHEC schools related to the pre-sale conduct of the schools, and the pre-sale conduct of the schools has been and could be the subject of future compliance reviews, regulatory proceedings or lawsuits that could result in monetary liabilities or fines or other sanctions. In May 2021, Kaplan received a Notice from the U.S. Department of Education (ED) that the department would be requiring a fact-finding process pursuant to the borrower defense to repayment regulations to determine the validity of more than 800 borrower defense to repayment claims and a request for documents related to several of Kaplan’s previously-owned schools. ~~More recently,~~In July 2021, Kaplan ~~has~~ received information requests from the ED related to over 1,400 student claims for the ED to grant debt relief. If the ED grants any student claims, it is possible that the ED would seek reimbursement from Kaplan. Based on Kaplan’s ~~initial~~ review of the information received from the ED, Kaplan believes it has legal claims that would bar any student discharge or school liability and expects to vigorously defend any attempt by the ED to hold Kaplan liable for any ultimate student discharges. At this time, Kaplan is uncertain as to the total number of possible claims or the amount of potential liability.

In June 2021, the Committee for Private Education (CPE) in Singapore instructed Kaplan Singapore to cease new enrollments for three marketing diploma programs due to non-compliance with minimum entry level requirements for admission and to teach out existing students in these programs. On August 23, 2021, CPE issued the same instructions in respect of the Kaplan Foundation diploma and four information technology diploma programs. In September 2021, CPE requested additional information related to admissions on a number of other awards. Kaplan Singapore has responded, and no additional instruction has been received from CPE to date. The impact from possible regulatory actions by the CPE could have a material adverse impact on Kaplan Singapore’s revenues, operating results and cash flows in the future.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

This analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Results of Operations

The Company reported net income attributable to common shares of ~~$115.4~~$39.6 million ($~~22.99~~7.90 per share) for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, compared to ~~$18.9~~$77.6 million ($~~3.60~~15.22 per share) for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to prevent its spread, such as travel restrictions, shelter in place orders and mandatory closures, significantly impacted the Company’s results for 2020 and the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021, largely from reduced demand for the Company’s products and services. This significant adverse impact is expected to continue for several of the Company’s businesses for the remainder of 2021. The Company’s management has taken a variety of measures to reduce costs and implement changes to business operations. The Company cannot predict the severity or duration of the pandemic, the extent to which demand for the Company’s products and services will be adversely affected or the degree to which financial and operating results will be negatively impacted.

On June 14, 2021, the Company closed on the previously announced acquisition of all outstanding shares of common stock of Leaf Group Ltd. (Leaf) at $8.50 per share in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $322 million. Leaf Group, headquartered in Santa Monica, CA, is a consumer internet company that builds enduring, creator-driven brands that reach passionate audiences in large and growing lifestyle categories, including fitness and wellness (Well+Good, Livestrong.com and MyPlate App), and home, art and design (Saatchi Art, Society6 and Hunker).

Division Results

Education

Education division revenue totaled ~~$340.0~~$336.0 million for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, up 2%11% from ~~$333.2~~$302.5 million for the same period of 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted Kaplan’s operating results beginning in February 2020 and ~~continuing~~continued through the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021.

Kaplan serves a significant number of students who travel to other countries to study a second language, prepare for licensure, or pursue a higher education degree. Government-imposed travel restrictions and school closures arising from COVID-19 had a negative impact on the ability of international students to travel and attend Kaplan’s programs, particularly Kaplan International’s Language programs. In addition, most licensing bodies and administrators of standardized exams postponed or canceled scheduled examinations due to COVID-19, resulting in a significant number of students deciding to defer their studies, negatively impacting Kaplan’s exam preparation education businesses. Overall, this is expected to continue to adversely impact Kaplan's revenues and operating results for the remainder of 2021, particularly at Kaplan International ~~Languages.~~Languages (Languages).

To help mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19, Kaplan implemented a number of significant cost reduction and restructuring activities across its businesses. Related to these restructuring activities, Kaplan recorded ~~$2.2~~$0.1 million and ~~$3.2~~$3.3 million in impairment of long-lived assets charges in the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2021, respectively. In the ~~second quarter and~~ first ~~six~~nine months of 2020, Kaplan recorded ~~$10.5 million and~~ $12.5 million in lease restructuring costs ~~respectively;~~ and ~~$1.2~~in the third quarter and first nine months of 2020, Kaplan recorded $1.9 million and $3.1 million in ~~second quarter 2020~~ severance restructuring ~~costs.~~costs, respectively. The lease restructuring costs included $3.4 million in accelerated depreciation expense in the ~~second quarter and~~ first ~~six~~nine months of 2020. Kaplan also recorded ~~a $10.0~~$1.9 million and $11.9 million in lease impairment ~~charge~~charges in connection with these restructuring plans in the ~~second~~third quarter and first nine months of ~~2020; this~~2020, respectively. These impairment ~~charge~~charges included ~~$2.0~~$0.2 million and $2.2 million in property, plant and equipment ~~write-downs. Also~~write-downs in the third quarter and first nine months, respectively. In the second ~~quarter~~and third quarters of 2020, the Company approved a Separation Incentive ~~Program~~Programs (SIP) that reduced the number of employees at ~~Kaplan International, Higher Education, Supplemental Education and Kaplan corporate,~~all of Kaplan’s divisions, resulting in ~~$5.0~~$7.8 million and $12.8 million in non-operating pension expense in the ~~second~~third quarter and first nine months of ~~2020.~~2020, respectively. Kaplan management is continuing to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 disruptions and changes in its operating environment and may develop and implement further restructuring activities in 2021.

In 2020, Kaplan also accelerated the development and promotion of various online programs and solutions, rapidly transitioned most of its classroom-based programs online and addressed the individual needs of its students and partners, substantially reducing the disruption from COVID-19 while simultaneously adding important new product offerings and operating capabilities. Further, in the fourth quarter of 2020, Kaplan combined its three primary divisions based in the United States (Kaplan Test Prep, Kaplan Professional, and Kaplan Higher Education) into one business known as Kaplan North America (KNA). This combination is designed to enhance Kaplan’s competitiveness by better leveraging its diversified academic and professional portfolio, as well as its relationship with students, universities and businesses. For financial reporting purposes, KNA is reported in two segments: Higher Education and Supplemental Education (combining Kaplan Test Prep and Kaplan Professional (U.S.) into one reporting segment).

The increase in the third quarter is due largely to ~~COVID-19 disruptions~~growth at ~~Languages, partially offset by~~Pathways, UK Professional and Languages. The increase for the first nine months is due largely to growth at UK Professional ~~Singapore,~~ and ~~Pathways.~~Pathways, partially offset by declines at Languages. Kaplan International reported an operating ~~income~~loss of ~~$14.1~~$1.0 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2021, compared to ~~$16.0~~$13.8 million in the ~~second~~third quarter of 2020.

The ~~decline~~increase in operating results in the ~~second~~third quarter and first nine months of 2021 is due to ~~COVID-19 reduced student levels~~a reduction in losses at ~~Kaplan’s UK student dormitories~~Languages, and improved results at Pathways and at MPW, partially offset by improvements at Languages and UK Professional. The decline in operating results in the first six months of 2021 is due primarily to declines in student levels at Kaplan’s UK student dormitories at Pathways and at MPW, and increased losses at Languages, partially offset by improved earnings at UK Professional. Overall, Kaplan International’s operating results were negatively impacted by ~~$12~~$5 million and ~~$26~~$31 million in losses, respectively, incurred at Languages from continued significant COVID-19 disruptions for the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2021.

For the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~half~~nine months of 2021, Kaplan recorded a portion of the fee with Purdue Global based on an assessment of its collectability under the ~~TOSA. Higher Education operating income was down substantially from the prior year, as the Purdue Global~~TOSA with a lower fee recognized in the first ~~six months~~half of 2021 ~~was lower than the amount recognized in the prior year,~~ due to less cash available for distribution at June 30, 2021 due to timing of cash receipts at Purdue Global. The Company will continue to assess the collectability of the fee with Purdue Global on a quarterly basis to make a determination as to whether to record all or part of the fee in the future and whether to make adjustments to fee amounts recognized in earlier periods. For the ~~second quarter and~~ first ~~six~~nine months of 2020, Kaplan Higher Education recorded ~~$1.5 million and~~ $3.5 million ~~respectively,~~ in lease restructuring costs, of which $0.1 million was accelerated depreciation expense.

The decline in revenues adversely impacted the operating results and liquidity of the business since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company concluded that these events are not indicative of an other than temporary decline in the value of its investment to an amount less than its carrying value.

Investments in marketable equity securities and other investments	779,073		587,582
Total debt	555,889		512,555

Cash generated by operations is the Company’s primary source of liquidity. The Company maintains investments in a portfolio of marketable equity securities, which is considered when assessing the Company’s sources of liquidity. An additional source of liquidity includes the undrawn portion of the Company’s $300 million revolving credit facility, amounting to ~~$223.8~~$177.7 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2021.

In March 2020, the U.S. government enacted legislation, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to provide stimulus in the form of financial aid to businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the CARES Act, employers may defer the payment of the employer share of FICA taxes due for the period beginning on March 27, 2020, and ending December 31, 2020. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company has deferred $21.4 million of FICA payments under this program, of which 50% is due by December 31, 2021 and the remaining balance due by December 31, 2022.

The CARES Act also included provisions to support healthcare providers in the form of grants and changes to Medicare and Medicaid payments. In the second quarter of 2020, GHG received $7.4 million under the CARES Act as a general distribution from the Provider Relief Fund to provide relief for lost revenues and expenses incurred in connection with ~~COVID-19.~~C\OVID-19. In addition to the above distribution, in April 2020, GHG applied for and received $31.5 million under the expanded Medicare Accelerated and Advanced Payment Program, modified by the CARES Act. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) started to recoup this advance in April 2021 by withholding a portion of the amount reimbursed for claims submitted for services provided after the beginning of the recoupment period. During the three and ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021, an amount of ~~$5.0~~$6.6 million and $11.6 million, respectively, was withheld by HHS and the Company expects the remaining balance of ~~$26.5~~$19.9 million to be withheld from claims submitted in the next twelve months.

Governments in other jurisdictions where the Company operates also provided relief to businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of job retention schemes, payroll assistance, deferral of income and other tax payments, and loans. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021, Kaplan recorded benefits totaling ~~$2.9~~$4.1 million related to job retention and payroll schemes, mostly at Kaplan International. ~~Additionally, Kaplan deferred VAT and other tax payments in Ireland, of which $1.4 million is outstanding as of June 30, 2021.~~

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by ~~$299.2~~$280.1 million, due to the acquisition of Leaf, the purchase of marketable equity securities, deferred payments on previous acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividend payments and ~~payments of dividends,~~share repurchases, which was ~~partially~~ offset by cash generated from

operations and the proceeds from the sale of marketable equity securities. In the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021, the Company’s borrowings ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$2.2~~$43.3 million, due to ~~repayments,~~additional borrowings under the revolving credit facility, which were partially offset by ~~foreign currency translation adjustments.~~repayments.

The Company had no money market investments as of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, compared to $268.8 million at December 31, 2020, which are included in cash and cash equivalents. At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company held approximately ~~$69~~$98 million in cash and cash equivalents in businesses domiciled outside the U.S., of which approximately $8 million is not available for immediate use in operations or for distribution. Additionally, Kaplan’s business operations outside the U.S. retain cash balances to support ongoing working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and regulatory requirements. As a result, the Company considers a significant portion of the cash and cash equivalents balance held outside the U.S. as not readily available for use in U.S. operations.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities was ~~$751.4~~$764.8 million, which includes investments in the common stock of seven publicly traded companies. The Company purchased $48.0 million of marketable equity securities during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2021, the Company sold marketable equity securities that generated proceeds of ~~$37.6~~$38.3 million.

The Company had working capital of ~~$738.0~~$681.0 million and $824.5 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company maintains working capital levels consistent with its underlying business requirements and consistently generates cash from operations in excess of required interest or principal payments.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had borrowings outstanding of ~~$510.3~~$555.9 million and $512.6 million, respectively. The Company’s borrowings at ~~June~~September 30, 2021 were mostly from $400.0 million of 5.75% unsecured notes due June 1, 2026, ~~£55~~$122.3 million in outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and a commercial note of ~~$23.8~~$23.0 million at the Automotive subsidiary. The Company’s borrowings at December 31, 2020 were mostly from $400.0 million of 5.75% unsecured notes due June 1, 2026, £55 million in outstanding borrowings under the ~~Kaplan Credit Agreement~~Company’s revolving credit facility and a commercial note of $25.3 million at the Automotive subsidiary. The interest on the $400.0 million of 5.75% unsecured notes is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1.

During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of approximately ~~$520.0~~$531.3 million and ~~$511.2~~$512.8 million, respectively, at average annual interest rates of approximately

	Moody’s	Standard & Poor’s
Long-term	Ba1	BB
Outlook	Stable	Stable

The Company expects to fund its estimated capital needs through existing cash balances and internally generated funds, and, as needed, from borrowings under its revolving credit facility. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2021, the Company had ~~$76.2~~$122.3 million outstanding under the $300 million revolving credit facility, which borrowing was used to purchase land and buildings at Kaplan International’s sixth-form college in London, U.K. and at the automotive division in the third quarter of 2021, and to repay the £60 million Kaplan U.K. credit facility that matured at the end of June 2020. In management’s opinion, the Company will have sufficient financial resources to meet its business requirements in the next 12 months, including working capital requirements, capital expenditures, interest payments, potential acquisitions and strategic investments, dividends and stock repurchases.

All public statements made by the Company and its representatives that are not statements of historical fact, including certain statements in this report, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report to Stockholders, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects on the Company’s operations, financial results, liquidity and cash flows. Other forward-looking statements include comments about expectations related to acquisitions or dispositions or related business activities, including the TOSA, the Company’s business strategies and objectives, anticipated results of license renewal applications, the prospects for growth in the Company’s various business operations and the Company’s future financial performance.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company faces a number of significant risks and uncertainties in connection with its operations. The most significant of these are described below. These risks and uncertainties may not be the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known, or currently deemed immaterial, may adversely affect the Company in the future. In addition to the other information included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the subsequently filed information included on Forms 10-Q, investors should carefully consider the following risk factors. If any of the events or developments described below occurs, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

• New regulations on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of employees could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

On September 9, 2021, President Biden directed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to develop an emergency temporary standard (ETS) requiring all employers with at least 100 employees to mandate vaccination or weekly testing for their unvaccinated employees. OSHA has not yet issued the ETS. It is currently not possible to predict the impact the ETS will have on our workforce. As a company with more than 100 employees, we would be required to mandate COVID-19 vaccination of our workforce or our unvaccinated employees would require weekly testing. Additional vaccine mandates may be announced in jurisdictions in which our businesses operate. This may result in employee attrition and difficulty in meeting labor needs, which could have an adverse effect on future revenues and costs, which could be material. Accordingly, the proposed new regulation when implemented could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
