GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
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
seven
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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 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, 2021.
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 2021 fair values include measurement period adjustments related to accounts receivable, goodwill, amortized intangible assets, current and noncurrent lease liabilities, deferred income taxes and contingent consideration. The 2022 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, working capital 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 $
38.0
million and $
80.1
million of goodwill for income tax purposes for the acquisitions completed in 2022 and 2021, 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 2022 include aggregate revenues and operating income for the companies acquired in 2022 of $
73.2
million and $
2.4
8
million, respectively. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include aggregate revenues and operating income of $
74.7
million and $
2.2
million, respectively, for the first nine months of 2022.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company’s results as if the current year acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 2021. The unaudited pro forma information also includes the 2021 acquisitions as if they occurred at the beginning of 2020:

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.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company held an approximate
12
% interest in Intersection Holdings, LLC (Intersection), and accounts for its investment under the equity method.

During the first quarter of 2022, GHG invested an additional $
18.5
million in the Residential Home Health Illinois and Residential Hospice Illinois affiliates to fund their acquisition of certain home health and hospice assets of the NorthShore University HealthSystem. The transaction diluted GHG’s interest in Residential Hospice Illinois resulting in a $

million and $

million in its investment account that represents cumulative undistributed income in its investments in affiliates as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
In the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $
6.6
million on

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

million, which loan is repayable over

20.4
million as of September 30, 2022. The loan is repayable by December 2041.

million and $

million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded gains of $

standardized floor plan facilities with Truist Bank (Truist floor plan facility) and Ford Motor Credit Company (Ford floor plan facility). The Truist floor plan facility bears interest at variable rates that are based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus
1.19
% per annum. On July 5, 2022, the Company entered into an amended agreement with Truist to increase the capacity under the Truist floor plan facility to $
80.0
million. The Ford floor plan facility bears interest at variable interest rates that are based on the prime rate, with a floor of
3.5
%, plus
1.5
% per annum. The weighted average interest rate for the floor plan facilities was
3.5
% and
0.9
% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the floor plan facilities was
2.6
% and
1.1
% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the aggregate capacity under the floor plan facilities was $
100.9
million, of which $
55.0
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 facilities are 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 September 30, 2022.
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 September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a reduction in cost of goods sold of $
1.4
million and $
0.7
million, respectively, related to manufacturer floor plan assistance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized a reduction in cost of goods sold of $
3.4
million and $
2.1
million, respectively, related to manufacturer floor plan assistance.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
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.
Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was $
14.6
million and $
16.0
million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, was $
44.4
million and $
43.8
million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $
15
million for the remainder of 2022, $
51
million in 2023, $
39
million in 2024, $
31
million in 2025, $
26
million in 2026 and $
40

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s
5.75
% unsecured notes, based on quoted market prices (Level 2 fair value assessment), totaled $
389.0
million and $
417.5
million, respectively.
On May 3, 2022, the Company amended the revolving credit facility to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity of the facility to May 30, 2027, (ii) eliminate borrowings under separate U.S. Dollar and multicurrency tranches, (iii) update certain interest rate benchmarks including replacing USD London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) with SOFR for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars, (iv) incorporate a sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit, and (v) allow for applicable margin for borrowings to be determined and adjusted quarterly based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio. The outstanding balance on the Company’s $
300
million unsecured revolving credit facility was $
180.7
million as of September 30, 2022, consisting of U.S. dollar borrowings of $
126
million with interest payable at SOFR plus
1.375
% or prime rate plus
0.375
%, and British Pound (GBP) borrowings of £
50
million with interest payable at Daily Sterling Overnight Index Average (SONIA) plus
1.375
%.
On July 5, 2022, the Company’s automotive subsidiary amended its commercial note, dated December 28, 2021, with Truist Bank to, among other things, increase the aggregate loan amount to $
71.6
million. The amended commercial note is payable over a
10-year
period in monthly installments of $
1.0
million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, for the first 24 months and $
0.5
million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, for the remaining 96 months due on the first day of each month, with a final payment of the outstanding principal balance due on July 1, 2032. The amended commercial note bears interest at variable rates based on SOFR plus
2.05
% per annum. The commercial note contains terms and conditions, including remedies in the event of a default by the automotive subsidiary.
On July 5, 2022, the Company’s automotive subsidiary entered into three additional commercial notes with Truist Bank in an aggregate amount of $
27.2
million. The commercial notes are each payable over a
10-year
period in aggregate monthly installments of $
0.1
million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, due on the first day of each month, with a final payment of the outstanding principal balances due on July 1, 2032. The commercial notes each bear interest at variable rates based on SOFR plus
1.8
% per annum. The commercial notes contain terms and conditions, including remedies in the event of a default by the automotive subsidiary. On the same date, the Company’s automotive subsidiary entered into three interest rate swap agreements with a total notional value of $
27.2
million and a maturity date of July 1, 2032. The interest rate swap agreements will pay the automotive subsidiary interest on the $
27.2
million notional amount based on SOFR plus
1.8
% per annum and the automotive subsidiary will pay the counterparty a fixed rate of
4.861
% per annum. The new interest rate swap agreements were entered into to convert the variable rate borrowings under these commercial notes into fixed rate borrowings. Based on the terms of the new interest rate swap agreements and the underlying borrowings, the new interest rate swaps were determined to be effective and thus qualify as cash flow hedges.
The fair value of the Company’s other debt, which is based on Level 2 inputs, approximates its carrying value as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants
of the revolving credit facility, commercial notes, and Pinnacle Bank term loan
as of September 30, 2022.
During the
three
months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of approximately $
714.1
million and $
545.9
million, respectively, at average annual interest rates of approximately
13
4.9
% and
4.8
%, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred net interest expense of $
10.8
million and $
9.4
million, respectively.
During the
nine
months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of approximately $
676.5
million and $
531.3
million, respectively, at average annual interest rates of approximately
4.6
% and
4.9
%, respectively. During the
nine
months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred net interest expense of $
36.8
million and $
22.5
million, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded interest expense of $
1.4
million and $
12.8
million, respectively, to adjust the fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded net interest expense of $
2.6
million and $
2.7
million, respectively, to adjust the fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest. The fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest was based on the fair value of the underlying subsidiaries owned by GHC One and GHC Two, after taking into account any debt and other noncontrolling interests of its subsidiary investments. The fair value of the owned subsidiaries is determined by reference to either a discounted cash flow or EBITDA multiple, which approximates fair value (Level 3 fair value assessment).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded goodwill and other long-lived asset impairment charges of $
26.8
million and $
31.6
million, respectively. The remeasurement of goodwill and other long-lived assets is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed in the determination of the fair value. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to determine the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and other long-lived assets. A market value approach was also utilized to supplement the discounted cash flow model. The Company made estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows, discount rates, market values, and long-term growth rates.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded gains of $
0.6
million to equity securities that are accounted for as cost method investments based on observable transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded gains of $

million of the balance in revenue for claims submitted for eligible services for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The advance has been recouped in full as of September 30, 2022. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, GHG recognized $
6.6
million and $
11.6
million of the balance in revenue for claims submitted for eligible services.
The majority of the change in the deferred revenue balance is related to the cyclical nature of services in the Kaplan international division. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $
296.6
million related to the Company’s deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2021.
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations represents deferred revenue amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods. As of September 30, 2022, 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 $
7.8
million. Kaplan Supplemental Education expects to recognize
66
% of this revenue over the next
twelve months
and the remainder thereafter.

EARNINGS 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 and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings 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 private investment funds, 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

The Company manages approximately
42
% of the pension assets internally, of which the majority is invested in private investment funds with the remaining investments in Berkshire Hathaway stock, a U.S. stock index fund, and short-term fixed-income securities. The remaining
58
% of plan assets are managed by
two
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
19
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 September 30, 2022. 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 September 30, 2022, the pension plan held investments in
one
common stock and
one
private investment fund that exceeded
10
% of total plan assets, valued at $
783.6
million, or approximately
33
% of total plan assets. At December 31, 2021, the pension plan held investments in
one
common stock and
one
private investment fund that exceeded
10
% of total plan assets, valued at $
998.8
million, or approximately
29
% of total plan assets.

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
no
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 $
15
million.
In 2015, Kaplan sold substantially all of the assets of the KHE 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. On May 6, 2021, Kaplan received a notice from the Department of Education (ED) that it would be conducting a fact-finding process pursuant to the borrower defense to repayment (BDTR) regulations to determine the validity of more than
800
BDTR claims and a request for documents related to several of Kaplan’s previously owned schools. Beginning in July 2021, Kaplan started receiving the claims and related information requests. In total, Kaplan received
1,449
borrower defense applications that seek discharge of approximately $
35
million in loans (excluding interest). Most claims received are from former KU students. The ED’s process for adjudicating these claims is subject to the borrower defense regulations but it is not clear to what extent the ED will exclude claims based on the underlying statutes of limitations, evidence provided by Kaplan, or any prior investigation related to schools attended by the student applicants.
On June 22, 2022, the ED filed a joint motion for approval of a settlement agreement in
Sweet, et al. vs. Cardona
, a case pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Kaplan is not a party to this case. This case was brought in 2019 by a purported class of borrowers demanding that the ED adjudicate all pending borrower defense claims. The settlement proposes that the ED will discharge the loans for students who borrowed to attend any school on a specified list. The list includes approximately 150 schools, including Bauder College, Mount Washington College, Kaplan Career Institute and Kaplan College, as well as Purdue University Global (encompassing the former Kaplan University). This proposed settlement would cover all claims to which Kaplan has previously responded to the ED and may also include new claims for which Kaplan has not received any information or which may still be filed prior to any final approval of the settlement by the court. ED has clarified that while attendance at one of the listed schools justifies presumptive relief for the borrowers, inclusion on the list is not a finding of misconduct by the school and does not provide an evidentiary basis upon which ED could rely to take action against any of the schools. In its July 25, 2022 filing, the ED stated that the proposed settlement in Sweet “creates no independent basis for action against the schools” and “any concrete consequences on the schools – financial or otherwise—could be imposed only after the ED initiates a separate, future proceeding...” The proposed settlement agreement will not be effective unless and until it achieves final court approval. In the event the
22
settlement is approved, the ED will likely be required to separately fully adjudicate the borrowers’ claims under the borrower defense rules process if it wishes to ultimately apply liability to institutions and seek recoupment of discharged amounts.
In any such process Kaplan believes it has defenses that would bar any student discharge or school liability including that the claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations, unproven, incomplete and fail to meet regulatory filing requirements. Kaplan will vigorously defend any attempt by the ED to hold Kaplan liable for any ultimate student discharges and is responding to all claims with documentary and narrative evidence to refute the allegations, demonstrate their lack of merit, and support the denial of all such claims by the ED. If the ED grants borrower claims through the BTDR process, the ED may seek reimbursement for the amount discharged from Kaplan. If the ED were to initiate a recoupment action against Kaplan, and that action successfully overcame Kaplan’s defenses, Kaplan could be subject to significant liability.
On October 31, 2022, the ED released the final Borrower Defense to Repayment rule with an effective date of July 1, 2023. Compared to the previous rule, this new rule in part, expands actions that can give rise to claims for discharge; provides that the borrower’s claim will be presumed true if the institution does not provide any responsive evidence; provides an easier process for group claims; and relies on current program review penalty hearing processes for discharge recoupment. Under the rule, the recoupment process applies only to loans first disbursed after July 1, 2023; however, the discharge process and standards apply to any pending application regardless of loan date.
On October 27, 2022, the ED released a final rule that among other things, changes the Title IV definition of “Nonprofit” institution to generally exclude from that definition any institution that is an obligor on a debt owed to a former owner of the institution or that maintains a revenue-based service agreement with a former owner of the institution. The final rule has an effective date of July 1, 2023 and could subject Purdue Global to additional regulatory requirements.
In August 2018, Purdue University Global received an updated Provisional Program Participation Agreement (PPPA) from the ED which is necessary for continued participation in the federal Title IV programs after the change in ownership from Kaplan to Purdue. The PPPA expired on June 30, 2021 but was extended to June 30, 2022. In August 2022, Purdue University Global received an extended PPPA that is effective through June 30, 2024. Under the extended PPPA, among other restrictions, Purdue University Global must also report information related to known open investigations and student complaints on a quarterly basis to the ED.
In June 2021, the Committee for Private Education (CPE) in Singapore instructed Kaplan Singapore to cease new enrollments for
three
marketing diploma programs on both a full and part-time basis due to noncompliance with minimum entry level requirements for admission and to teach out existing students in these programs. On August 23, 2021, the CPE issued the same instructions with respect to the Kaplan Foundation diploma and
four
information technology diploma programs on both a full and part-time basis. In November 2021, the CPE issued the same instructions with respect to a further
23
full-time or part-time diploma programs. Post regulatory action, Kaplan Singapore was still able to offer
449
programs that remained registered with the CPE, out of which there were
16
diplomas,
361
bachelors and the balance of which were certificate and postgraduate courses. In April 2022, Kaplan Singapore applied for re-registration for certain of the diploma programs and in July 2022 received approval from the CPE. In May 2022, CPE also renewed Kaplan Singapore’s registrations as a private education institution for a four year period expiring in 2026. In October 2022, Kaplan Singapore received approval from the CPE to re-register certain additional full-time and part-time programs. While the regulatory actions by the CPE in 2021 will have a significant adverse impact on Kaplan Singapore’s revenues, operating results and cash flows in the future, the impact is expected to be mitigated as a result of the recently approved registrations of certain impacted programs.

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.

The Company reported net income attributable to common shares of $32.8 million (

Revenue for the third quarter of 2022 was $1,012.4 million, up 25% from $809.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. Revenues increased
at education,
television broadcasting, manufacturing, healthcare, and automotive, partially offset by a decline at other businesses. The Company reported operating income of $59.5 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to an operating loss of $16.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. Operating results improved at all the Company’s d
ivisions.
For the first nine months of 2022, the Company reported net income attributable to common shares of $60.9 million (
$12.48
per share), compared to $267.4 million ($53.33 per share) for the first nine months of 2021.

:

•
$30.2 million in goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges (after-tax impact of $24.9 million, or $4.97 per share);

•
a net non-operating gain of $10.8 million from the sale, write-up and write-down of cost and equity method investments (after-tax impact of $7.9 million, or $1.58 per share);
•
$2.7 million in net interest expense to adjust the fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest ($0.54 per share); and
•

Revenue for the first nine months of 2022 was $2,860.5 million, up 23% from $2,323.0 million in the first nine months of 2021. Revenues increased at all the Company’s divisions. The Company reported operating income of $138.8 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $54.8 million for the first nine months of 2021. Operating results increased at education, television broadcasting, manufacturing and automotive, offset by declines at healthcare and other businesses.
The COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to prevent its spread significantly impacted the Company’s results for 2021 and, to a lesser extent, the first nine months of 2022, largely from reduced demand for the Company’s products and services. 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.
Division Results
Education
Education division revenue totaled $355.1 million for the third quarter of 2022, up 6% from $336.0 million for the same period of 2021. Kaplan reported operating income of $18.6 million for the third quarter of 2022, compared to $9.9 million for the third quarter of 2021.
For the first nine months of 2022, education division revenue totaled $1,066.1 million, up 6% from $1,005.3 million for the same period of 2021. Kaplan reported operating income of $57.8 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared to $42.0 million for the first nine months of 2021.
28
The COVID-19 pandemic adversely impacted Kaplan’s operating results during 2021 and, to a lesser extent, the first nine months of 2022. Kaplan serves a large 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 certain international students to travel and attend Kaplan’s programs, particularly at Kaplan International’s Language programs (Languages) in 2021.

Kaplan International includes postsecondary education, professional training and language training businesses largely outside the United States. Kaplan International revenue increase
d 15% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 (26% and 23%, respectively, on a constant currency basis). The increase is due largely to growth at Languages, Pathways and UK Professional, partially offset by a decline at Singapore. Kaplan International reported operating i
ncome of $8.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to an operating loss of $1.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. Operating income increased to $48.1 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $23.3 million in the first nine months of 2021
. The improved results are due largely to a reduction in losses at Languages, and improved results at Pathways, partially offset by a decline at Singapore.
Overall, Kaplan International’s operating results were negatively impacted
by $5 million and $31 million in losses,
respectively, incurred at Languages from COVID-19 disruptions for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021.
The losses incurred at Languages for the first nine months of 2022 were substantially lower than the prior year, and Languages reported an operating profit in the third quarter of 2022.
Higher Education includes the results of Kaplan as a service provider to higher education institutions. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, Higher Education revenue
declined 6%
and 4%, respectiv
ely, due largely to lower costs incurred for reimbursement under the Purdue Global agreement. For the third quarte
r and first nine months of 2022 and 2021, Kaplan recorded a portion of the fee with Purdue Global based on an assessment of its collectability under the TO
SA. Enrollments at Purdue Global for the first nine months of 2022 were approximately the same as the first nine months of 2021. 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. Higher Education results declined in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 due to increased investment costs incurred related to other university agreements, partially offset by an increase in the Purdue Global fee recorded.
As of September 30, 2022, Kaplan had a total outstanding accounts receivable balance of $88.9 million from Purdue Global related to amounts due for reimbursements for services, fees earned and a deferred fee. Included in this total, Kaplan has a $19.4 million long-term receivable balance due from Purdue Global at September 30, 2022, related to the advance of $20 million during the initial KU Transaction.
Supplemental Education includes Kaplan’s standardized test preparation programs and domestic professional and other continuing education businesses. In November 2021, Supplemental Education acquired two small businesses. Supplemental Education revenue declined 1% and 2% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, due largely to declines in retail comprehensive test preparation demand, offset in part by growth in demand for professional certifications. Overall, demand for graduate and pre-college test preparation programs has declined due to the strength of U.S. employment markets and the decline in test-takers. Operating results declined in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 due to lower revenues and increased advertising and product development costs.

Graham Media Group, Inc. owns seven television stations located in Houston, TX; Detroit, MI; Orlando, FL; San Antonio, TX; Jacksonville, FL; and Roanoke, VA, as well as SocialNewsDesk, a provider of social media management tools designed to connect newsrooms with their users. Revenue at the television broadcasting division increased 7% to $135.2 million in the third quarter of 2022, from $126.5 million in the same period of 2021. The revenue increase is due primarily to a
$19.4
million increase in political advertising revenue, partially offset by a decline in other categories from fewer available advertising spots, and a small decline in retransmission revenues. Operating income for the third quarter of 2022 increased 29% to $52.3 million, from $40.6 million in the same period of 2021
, due to increased revenues an
d a reduction in incentive compensation costs.
Revenue at the television broadcasting division increased 6% to $381.0 million in the first nine months of 2022, from $360.1 million in the same period of 2021. The revenue increase is due to a
$24.4
million increase in political revenue,
a $2.8 milli
on increase in retransmission revenues, and increases from winter Olympics and Super Bowl advertising revenue at the Company’s NBC affiliates in the first quarter of 2022. Operating income for the first nine months of 2022 increased 21% to $131.9 million, from $109.1 million in the same period of 2021, due t
o increased revenues and a reduction in incentive compensation costs. While per subscriber rates from cable, satellite and OTT providers have grown, overall subscribers are down due to cord cutting across all platforms, resulting in retransmission revenue net of network fees in 2022 expected to be flat compared with 2021, and this trend is expected to continue in the future.
In May 2022, the Company’s television station in Orlando (WKMG) entered into a new network affiliation agreement with CBS that covers the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2026.

Manufacturing includes four businesses: Hoover, a supplier of pressure impregnated kiln-dried lumber and plywood products for fire retardant and preservative applications; Dekko, a manufacturer of electrical workspace solutions, architectural lighting and electrical components and assemblies; Joyce/Dayton, a manufacturer of screw jacks and other linear motion systems; and Forney, a global supplier of products and systems that control and monitor combustion processes in electric utility and industrial applications.
Manufacturing revenues increased 23% and 3% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively. The revenue growth for the third quarter of 2022 is due primarily to significantly increased revenues at Hoover due to higher wood prices and increased product demand. The revenue growth for the first nine months of 2022 is due to increased revenue
s at Dekko, Joyce and Forney, partially offset by a reduction in revenues at Hoover from lower wood prices in the first half of 2022, but overall modestly higher product demand. Wood prices were highly volatile in 2021 and the first nine months of 2022. Overall, Hoover results included wood gains on inventory sales for both the first nine months of 2022 and 2021; however, wood gains on inventory sales were higher in the first nine months of 2022. For the third quarter of 2022, Hoover results included modest wood losses on inventory sales, compared with significant wood losses on inventory sales in the third quarter of 2021. Manufact
uring operating results increased significantly in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022. Operating results increased for the third quarter of 2022 due primarily to a
$26.7 million goodwill impairment charge recorded at Dekko during the third quarter of 2021 and significantly improved results at Hoover due to substantial wood losses on inventory sales in the third quarter of 2021. Operating results increased for the first nine months of 2022 due primarily to the Dekko goodwill impairment charge in 2021 and improved results at Hoover and Forney. Excluding the impact of wood gains and losses, Hoover results improved in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022.
30
In the second quarter of 2021, Dekko announced a plan to relocate its manufacturing operations in Shelton, CT to other Dekko manufacturing facilities, which was substantially completed by the end of 2021. In connection with this activity, Dekko implemented a SIP for the affected employees, resulting in $1.1 million in non-operating SIP expense recorded in the second quarter of 2021, which was funded by the assets of the Company’s pension plan.

Graham Healthcare Group (GHG) provides home health and hospice services in
seven
states. In December 2021, GHG acquired two small businesses, one of which expanded GHG’s home health operations into Florida. In May 2022, GHG acquired two small businesses, one of which expanded GHG’s home health operations into Kansas and Missouri. In July 2022, GHG acquired a 100% interest in a multi-state provider of Applied Behavior Analysis clinics and in August 2022, GHG acquired two small businesses, which expanded GHG’s hospice services into Missouri and Ohio. GHG provides other healthcare services, including nursing care and prescription services for patients receiving in-home infusion treatments through its 75% interest in CSI Pharmacy Holdings Company, LLC (CSI).
Healthcare revenues increased 57% and 44% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, largely due to significant growth at CSI and from businesses acquired in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first nine months of 2022, along with growth in home health and hospice services. The increase in GHG operating results in the third quarter of 2022 is due to improved results at CSI, partially offset by net losses from newly acquired businesses and increased marketing, human resources, recruiting and business development costs and overall increased compensation and transportation costs in nursing and clinical staffing. The decline in GHG operating results in the first nine months of 2022 is due to net losses from newly acquired businesses, increased marketing, human resources, recruiting and business development costs and overall increased compensation and transportation costs in nursing and clinical staffing, partially offset by improved results at CSI.
The Company also holds interests in four home health and hospice joint ventures managed by GHG, whose results are included in equity in earnings of affiliates in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded equity in earnings of
$1.5
million and $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, from these joint ventures. The Company recorded equity in earnings
of $5.1
million and $8.0 million for the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2022, GHG, through its Residential Home Health Illinois and Residential Hospice Illinois affiliates, acquired an interest in the home health and hospice assets of NorthShore University HealthSystem, an integrated healthcare delivery system serving patients throughout the Chicago, IL area. The transaction resulted in a decrease to GHG’s interest in Residential Hospice Illinois and a $0.6 million non-operating gain was recorded in the first quarter of 2022 related to the change in interest.

Automotive includes six automotive dealerships in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area: Ourisman Lexus of Rockville, Ourisman Honda of Tysons Corner, Ourisman Jeep Bethesda and Ourisman Ford of Manassas, which was acquired on December 28, 2021, from the Battlefield Automotive Group. In addition, on July 5, 2022, the Company acquired a Toyota dealership and a Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram (CDJR) dealership in Woodbridge, VA from the Lustine Automotive Group. Christopher J. Ourisman, a member of the Ourisman Automotive Group family of dealerships, and his team of industry professionals operate and manage the dealerships; the Company holds a 90% stake.
Revenues for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 increased significantly due to the acquisitions of the Ford, Toyota and CDJR dealerships an
d sales growth at the Jeep dealership due to an increase in new vehicle inventory provided by the manufacturer and higher average new and used car selling prices at the Jeep, Lexus and Honda dealerships as a result of strong customer demand and new vehicle inventory shortages related to supply
31
chain disruptions and production delays at vehicle manufacturers, partially offset by decreased revenues at the Honda and Lexus dealerships due to volume declines as a result of inventory shortages. O
perating results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 improved significantly due largely to the Ford, Toyota and CDJR acquisitio
ns and improved results at the Jeep dealership due to increased sales and margins, and at the Lexus dealership due to increased margins, offset by declines at the Honda dealership due to inventory shortages.
Other Businesses
Leaf Group
On June 14, 2021, the Company
acquired
Leaf Group Ltd. (Leaf), a consumer internet company, headquartered in Santa Monica, CA, 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). Leaf has three major operating divisions: Society6 Group and Saatchi Art Group (Marketplace businesses) and the Media Group. For the third quarter of 2022, revenue for Society6 Group and the Media Group declined, while Saatchi Art Group reported revenue growth. Overall, Leaf reported significant operating losses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022.
Clyde’s Restaurant Group
Clyde’s Restaurant Group (CRG) owns and operates
ten
restaurants and entertainment venues in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, including Old Ebbitt Grill and The Hamilton. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, CRG temporarily closed its restaurant dining rooms in Maryland and the District of Columbia in December 2020, reopening again for limited indoor dining service in February 2021. Various government-ordered dining restrictions continued until the middle of 202
1. CRG’s operating results are seasonal with the second and fourth quarters generally stronger than the first and third quarters. CRG incurred an operating loss for the third quarter of 2022, while reporting a small operating profit for the first nine months of 2022. Both revenues and operating results improved significantly from the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 due largely to the absence of government-ordered dining restrictions in 2022 and a favorable rent concession recorded in the second quarter of 2022. Improve
ment in both revenue and operating results is expected to continue in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Framebridge
Framebridge is a custom framing service company, headquartered in Washington, D.C., wit
h sixteen re
tail locations in the Washington, D.C., New York City, Atlanta, GA, Philadelphia, PA, Boston, MA and Chicago, IL areas and two manufacturing facilities in Kentucky and New Jersey. Framebridge opened an additional store in the New York City area in October 2022. Framebridge revenu
es increased in
the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 due to operating additional retail stores compared to the same periods in 2021. Framebridge is an investment stage business and reported significant operating losses in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021.
Code3
Code3 is a performance marketing agency focused on driving performance for brands through three core elements of digital success: media, creative and commerce. Code3 revenue declined in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 due to sluggish marketing spending by certain advertising clients. Code3 reported opera
ting losses in each of the
first nine months of 2022 and 2021. In the second quarter of 2021, Code3 recorded a $1.6 million lease impairment charge (including $0.4 million in property, plant and equipment write-downs).
Other
Other businesses also include Slate and Foreign Policy, which publish online and print magazines and websites; and four investment stage businesses, CyberVista, Decile, Pinna and City Cast. Slate, Foreign Policy, CyberVista, Pinna and City Cast reported revenue increases in the first nine months of 2022. Losses from each of these six businesses in the first nine months of 2022 adversely affected operating results. In October 2022, the Company announced a strategic merger of CyberVista and CyberWire, a B2B cybersecurity audio network to form a new parent company, N2K Networks. N2K Networks will focus on expanding its technology platform to enable development of more resilient enterprise cyber workforces, to pioneer new markets, and to create original “news to knowledge” audio brands. In conjunction with the merger, a Series A funding round led by the Company also closed. The Company’s investment in N2K Networks will be reported as an equity method investment.
Overall, for the third quarter of 2022, operating revenues for other businesses declined due largely to decreased revenues at Leaf and Code3, partially offset by an increase at CRG. For the first nine months of 2022, operating
revenues for other businesses increased due largely to the Leaf acquisition and increases at CRG and Framebridge. Ope
rating resul
ts declined in
the first nine months of 2022 due primarily to increased losses at Leaf and Framebridge, partially offset by improved results at CRG.

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 $119.3 million at September 30, 2022.
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. The Company deferred $21.5 million of FICA payments under this program, with $11.1 million of the deferred payments still payable at September 30, 2022. The remaining deferred balance is 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, an amount of $12.5 million was withheld by HHS. The advance has been recouped in full as of September 30, 2022.
During the first nine months of 2022, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.9 million, due to cash generated from operations, the proceeds from the sale of marketable equity securities and net borrowings, which was offset by acquisitions, additional investments in marketable equity securities and equity affiliates, capital expenditures, dividend payments and share repurchases. In the first nine months of 2022, the Company’s borrowings increased by $42.8 million, primarily due to additional borrowings at the Automotive subsidiary, partially offset by repayments under the revolving credit facility.
At September 30, 2022, the Company held approximately $117 million in cash and cash equivalents in businesses domiciled outside the U.S., of which approximately $7 million is not available for immediate use in operations or for
34
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 September 30, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities was $597.5 million, which includes investments in the common stock of five publicly traded companies. During the first nine months of 2022, the Company purchased $35.1 million of marketable equity securities and sold marketable equity securities that generated proceeds of $74.2 million. At September 30, 2022, the net unrealized gain related to the Company’s investments totaled $324.4 million.
The Company had working capital of $498.3 million and $680.8 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $710.3 million and $667.5 million, respectively. The Company’s borrowings at September 30, 2022 were mostly from $400.0 million of 5.75% unsecured notes due June 1, 2026, $180.7 million in outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and commercial notes of $120.2 million at the Automotive subsidiary. The Company’s borrowings at December 31, 2021 were mostly from $400.0 million of 5.75% unsecured notes due June 1, 2026, $209.6 million in outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and commercial notes of $47.0 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.
On May 3, 2022, the Company amended the revolving credit facility agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date to May 30, 2027.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of approximately $676.5 million and $531.3 million, respectively, at average annual interest rates of approximately 4.6% and 4.9%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred net interest expense of $36.8 million and $22.5 million, respectively.
On August 30, 2022, Moody’s affirmed the Company’s credit rating and maintained the outlook as Stable. On April 12, 2022, Standard & Poor’s affirmed the Company’s credit rating and maintained the outlook as Stable.
The Company’s current credit ratings are as follows:

The Company expects to fund its estimated capital needs primarily through existing cash balances and internally generated funds, and, as needed, from borrowings under its revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $180.7 million outstanding under the $300 million revolving credit facility. 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.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities consists primarily of cash receipts from customers, less disbursements for costs, benefits, income taxes, interest and other expenses.
For the first nine months of 2022 compared to the first nine months of 2021, the increase in net cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by higher net income, net of non-cash adjustments, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Changes in operating assets and liabilities were primarily the result of an increase in the collection of cash from customers that were offset by higher purchase of inventories and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
