John Wiley & Sons Announces First Quarter Fiscal Year 2011 Results
Hoboken, NJ, September 9, 2010-
| · | Revenue growth of 9% currency neutral (5% on a reported basis) |
| · | Revenue growth by segment, excluding FX: STMS 7%, P/T 12%, HE 12% |
| · | Operating income growth of 26% currency neutral (13% reported) |
| · | Excluding a $0.07 per share non-cash tax benefit, EPS grew 40% on a currency neutral basis |
| | | | Change |
| $ millions | FY11 | FY10 | | Excluding FX | Including FX |
Revenue: Q1 | $408 | $388 | | 9% | 5% |
Adjusted EPS: Q1 | $0.65 | $0.45 | | 40% | 44% |
EPS: Q1 | *$0.72 | $0.45 | | 56% | 60% |
* Includes a $0.07 per share deferred income tax benefit (see below).
For the first quarter, revenue grew 5% to $408 million, or 9% on a currency neutral basis. Strong growth in Professional/Trade (P/T) and Higher Education (HE) drove top-line results, with mid-single digit revenue growth in STMS, excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.
Operating income grew 13% to $63 million, or 26% on a currency neutral basis. Growth was driven by strong top-line results and improved gross margin due to increased digital revenue.
Earnings per share (EPS) rose 60% in the quarter to $0.72, or 56% on a currency neutral basis, reflecting increased operating income, reduced interest expense and a deferred tax benefit. In July, the UK enacted legislation to reduce corporate income tax rates by 1% to 27%, effective April 1, 2011. The Company reported a $4.2 million ($0.07 per share) non- cash deferred tax benefit from the rate reduction. The Company’s effective income tax rate excluding the UK tax benefit increased 2.5% to 30.1%. Excluding the deferred tax benefit and foreign exchange, EPS increased 40% in the quarter.
Management Commentary
“We are pleased with our strong first quarter performance, as reflected in solid top-line growth and improved profitability,” said William J. Pesce, President and CEO. “Our strategy of investing in ‘must-have’ content and enabling technology continues to yield positive results. During the past decade, technology investments have transformed our business by opening new distribution channels and revenue streams, which are enabled by innovative business models. Wiley is providing more access to more content by more people around the world than ever before in its 203-year history.”
He continued, “In August, we launched Wiley Online Library to enhance discoverability, improve search, allow greater personalization, provide more services and create new revenue streams. The transition to Wiley Online Library from Wiley InterScience, which was launched 11 years ago, was achieved successfully. In all of our businesses, we are experiencing growth in sales of digital content. We recently added Google to the extensive list of eBook channel partners. Margins in our Higher Education business continue to improve with the growth of WileyPLUS, digital content sales to institutions, customized offerings and low-cost print products.”
Mr. Pesce added, “We continue to implement carefully developed plans for the next generation of Wiley leadership. Effective August 1, 2010, Mark Allin succeeded Stephen Kippur as Senior Vice President, Professional/Trade. Mark joined Wiley with the acquisition of Capstone in 2000 and became Vice President and Managing Director, Wiley Asia in 2003. He has a distinguished track record in professional and educational publishing, having held senior positions at two large publishers prior to becoming co-founder of Capstone in 1996. His role as the leader of Wiley Asia provided him with valuable experience across all three Wiley businesses.”
Outlook
Mr. Pesce concluded: “Based on first quarter results, market conditions and leading indicators, we reiterate our fiscal year 2011 guidance of mid-single-digit revenue growth on a currency neutral basis. Excluding the effect of foreign exchange and the UK deferred tax benefit, we continue to project EPS growth of approximately 10% from fiscal year 2010 adjusted EPS of $2.58. For comparative purposes, the full year weighted average foreign exchange rates reflected in Wiley’s income statement for fiscal year 2010 were approximately 1.60 Sterling and 1.40 Euro.”
Foreign Exchange
The foregoing and following references to “currency neutral basis”; “excluding foreign exchange” and “performance basis” exclude the effect of foreign exchange transactions and translations.
SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL, MEDICAL AND SCHOLARLY (STMS)
| ● | Revenue +7% on a currency neutral basis |
| ● | Contribution to profit +9% on a currency neutral basis |
| ● | Wiley Online Library launched successfully in August |
| ● | Major online book agreement with Saudi Arabian consortium |
| ● | Wiley journals receive highest recognition for influence and impact |
For the first quarter, STMS revenue was flat at $229 million, or 7% higher on a currency neutral basis. Higher journal subscription revenue and sales of rights, licenses and backfiles were offset by lower reprint and advertising revenue. As of July 31, calendar 2010 subscription billings increased 3% on a currency neutral basis, which is consistent with our expectations.
Book revenue on a currency neutral basis grew 22%, reflecting a new online book license with a consortium in Saudi Arabia and growth in other publishing income. Book revenue increased in all regions on a performance basis.
Direct contribution to profit was flat at $94 million, but up 9% on a currency neutral basis, reflecting top-line results and gross margin improvement related to eBook revenue, partially offset by increased editorial costs associated with society journals.

| Note: The Company’s management evaluates performance using free cash flow. The Company believes free cash flow provides a meaningful and comparable measure of performance. Since free cash flow is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered as a substitute for other GAAP measures, including cash used for investing activities and financing activities, as an indicator of performance. |
