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, 2025 and 2024 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, 2024.
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.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
– In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance that requires enhanced income tax disclosures related to the rate reconciliation, information on income taxes paid and other items. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The standard permits both prospective and
7
retrospective application. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the disclosures within its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2024, FASB issued new guidance that requires disclosures about certain significant expense categories including inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and selling expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the disclosures within its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2025, FASB issued new guidance which updates the accounting for internal-use software by removing references to software development project stages and adding new criteria to determine when an entity is required to start capitalizing internal-use software costs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF BUSINESSES
Acquisitions.
On October 21, 2025, the Company’s automotive subsidiary acquired a Honda automotive dealership, including the real property for the dealership operations. In addition to a cash payment and the assumption of $
4.9
million in floor plan payables, the automotive subsidiary borrowed $
38.7
million under the delayed draw term loan to finance the acquisition (see Note 7). The dealership is operated and managed by an entity affiliated with Christopher J. Ourisman, a member of the Ourisman Automotive Group family of dealerships. This acquisition expands the Company’s automotive business operations and will be included in automotive.
During 2025, the Company acquired
two
businesses:
one
in education and
one
in manufacturing for $
19.9
million in cash and the assumption of $
107.4
million in net pension obligations. The assets and liabilities of the companies acquired were recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
In July 2025, Hoover acquired
100
% of Arconic Architectural Products, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arconic Corporation, which manufactures aluminum cladding products and operates within the broader non-residential materials space from its facility in Eastman, GA. A significant portion of the purchase price was funded by the Company’s assumption of certain pension obligations. The acquisition expands Hoover’s product offerings and is included in manufacturing.
In June 2025, Kaplan acquired
one
small business which is included in its supplemental education division.
During 2024, the Company acquired
two
small businesses. In January 2024, the Company acquired
one
small business which is included in other businesses. In May 2024, Kaplan acquired
one
small business which is included in its international division.
Acquisition-related costs for acquisitions that closed during the first nine months of
2025 were
$
2.0
million and were expensed as incurred.
The aggregate purchase price of the 2025 acquisitions was allocated as follows, based on the acquisition date fair values to the following assets and liabilities:

Aggregate purchase price, net of cash acquired
$
19,866
The 2025 fair values recorded were based upon preliminary valuations and the estimates and assumptions in such valuations are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The recording of the amounts of residual goodwill, other intangibles and pension liabilities are not yet finalized. Goodwill
8
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 attributabl
e to the assembled workforce of the
acquired companies and expected synergies. The Company expects to deduct $
1.3
million of goodwill for income tax purposes for the acquisitions completed in 2025.
The acquired companies were consolidated into the Company’s financial statements starting on their respective acquisition dates. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the
three months ended September 30, 2025 includes aggregate revenues and operating losses for the companies acquired in 2025 of
$
25.7
million
and
$
1.2
million
, respectively. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations includes aggregate revenues and operating losses of
$
25.7
million
and
$
1.3
million
, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information includes the 2025 acquisitions as if they occurred at the beginning of 2024:

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.

$
66.2

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In the second quarter of 2024, as a result of substantial digital advertising revenue declines and continued operating losses at WGB, the Company performed an interim review of the goodwill and intangible assets at the WGB reporting unit. As a result of the impairment review, the Company recorded goodwill and amortized intangible asset impairment charges totaling
$
26.3
million
. The Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit and amortized intangible asset by utilizing a discounted cash flow model. The carrying value of the reporting unit and amortized intangible asset exceeded their estimated fair values, resulting in goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges for the amount by which the carrying values exceeded their estimated fair values. WGB is included in other businesses.
Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $
9.7
million and $
8.4
million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, was $
24.8
million and $
29.2
million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $
7
million for the remainder of 2025, $
24
million in 2026, $
9
million in 2027, $
6

Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest.
The mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the ownership portion of a group of minority shareholders, consisting of a group of senior managers of the healthcare business, in subsidiaries of GHG. The Company established GHC One and GHC Two as vehicles to invest in a portfolio of healthcare businesses together with the group of senior managers of GHG. As the holder of preferred units, the Company is obligated to contribute
95
% of the capital required for the acquisition of portfolio investments with the remaining
5
% of the capital coming from the group of senior managers. The operating agreements of GHC One and GHC Two require the dissolution of the entities on March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2029, respectively, at which time the net assets will be distributed to its members. As a preferred unit holder, the Company will receive an amount up to its contributed capital plus a preferred annual return of
8
% (guaranteed return) after the group of senior managers has received the redemption of their
5
% interest in net assets (manager return). All distributions in excess of the manager and guaranteed return will be paid to common unit holders, which currently comprise the group of senior managers of GHG. The Company may convert its preferred units to common units at any time after which it will receive
80
% of all distributions in excess of the manager return, with the remaining
20
% of excess distributions going to the group of senior managers as holders of the other common units. The mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is reported as a current and noncurrent liability at September 30, 2025 and a noncurrent liability at December 31, 2024 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Other.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded intangible and other long-lived asset impairment charges of $
2.2
million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $
26.3
million. 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.

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
17
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 ne

Defined Benefit Plan Assets.
The Company’s defined benefit pension obligations are funded by a portfolio made up of private investment funds 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 Berkshire Hathaway stock, with the remaining investments in private investment funds, Markel stock, 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 each of the stocks of Alphabet and Berkshire Hathaway, and no more than
50
% of the assets it manages in specified international exchanges at the time the investment is made. The other investment manager cannot invest more than
19
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. 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 September 30, 2025. 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, 2025, the pension plan held investments in
one
common stock and
one
private investment fund that exceeded
10
% of total plan assets, valued at $
1,283.9
million, or approximately
38
% of total plan assets. At December 31, 2024, the pension plan held investments in
one
common stock and
one
private investment fund that exceeded
10
% of total plan assets, valued at $
1,178.5
million, or approximately
40
% of total plan assets. Assets also included $
110.9
million and $
100.1
million of Markel shares at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

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 $
10
million.

Kaplan International includes postsecondary education, professional training and language training businesses largely outside the United States (U.S.). Kaplan International revenue increas
ed
6% and 2%
for the third quarter and
first nine months of 2025, respectively (4% increase and flat, respectively, on a constant currency basis) due to increases at UK Pathways, UK Professional and Singapore, partially offset by lower student enrollments at US Pathways, Languages and Australia. Kapl
an International reported
operating income of $28.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $25.5 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase is due to improved results at UK Pathways and Singapore, partially offset by declines at US Pathways and Languages. UK Pathways revenues and operating results benefited significantly from favorable timing differences for certain programs in the third quarter of 2025, previously recorded in fourth quarter of 2024; consequently, revenue and operating results at UK Pathways are expected to be down in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared with the fourth quarter of 2024. US Pathways revenues and operating results were down significantly in the third quarter of 2025, due to changes in US visa policies and practices for international students recruited by Kaplan to study in the U.S. Operating income increased to $88.9 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared to $82.7 million in the first nine months of 2024. The increase is due largely to improved results at UK Pathways, Singapore and Australia, partially offset by declines at US Pathways, Languages and MPW.
Higher Education includes the results of Kaplan as a service provider to higher education institutions. Higher Education revenue increased 8% for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, due primarily to an increase in the Purdue Global fee recorded. Enrollments at Purdue Global, the largest institutional client, increased 3% for the first nine months of 2025 compared to the first nine months of 2024. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, Kaplan recorded the full fee from Purdue Global. For the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, Kaplan recorded a portion of the fee from Purdue Global. The Company will continue to assess the fee it records from 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 adjust fee amounts recognized in earlier periods. Higher Education operating results improved in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 due to an increase in the Purdue Global fee recorded, and a decline in higher education development costs.
Supplemental Education includes Kaplan’s standardized test preparation programs and domestic professional and other continuing education businesses. Most of the program offerings in Supplemental Education experienced growth in the first nine months leading to a 9% revenue increase. Operating results improved in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 due largely to revenue growth.
Kaplan corporate and other represents unallocated expenses of Kaplan’s corporate office, other minor businesses and certain shared activities.
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company offered a SIP to certain employees at Higher Education and Supplemental Education; $1.3 million in related non-operating pension expense was recorded in the third quarter of 2025. In the second quarter of 2025, the Company offered a SIP to certain employees at Higher Education and Supplemental Education; $0.7 million in related non-operating pension expense was recorded in the second quarter of 2025.
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company offered a SIP to certain employees at Supplemental Education; $2.7 million in related non-operating pension expense was recorded in the third quarter of 2024. These programs were funded from the assets of the Company’s pension plan.

Graham Media Group (GMG) 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 manageme
nt tools designed to connect newsrooms with their users. Revenue at the television broadcasting division decreased
28%
t
o
$105.1 million
in the third quarter of 2025, from $145.4 million in the same period of 2024. The revenue decline is due to a $33.4 million decrease in political advertising revenue, a $2.3 million decrease in retransmission revenue and declines in local and digital advertising revenue. Operating income for the third quarter of 2025 was down 57% to $26.8 million, from $61.9 million in the same period of 2024, due to lower revenues, partially offset by lower overall costs.
Revenue at the television broadcasting division was down
16%
to
$314.6 million
in the first
nine
months of
2025
, from
$374.0 million
in the same perio
d of 2024. The revenue decline is due to a $39.5 million decrease in political advertising revenue, a $6.4 million decrease in retransmission revenue and declines in local and digital advertising revenue. Operating income for t
he first
nine
months of
2025
was down
36%
to
$79.1 million
, from
$122.7 million
in the same period of
2024
, due to lower revenues, partially offset by lower overall costs.
While p
er subscriber rates from cable, satellite and OTT providers have grown, overall cable and satellite subscribers are down due to cord cutting, resulting in retransmission revenue net of network fees in 2025 expected to decline compared with 2024, and this trend is expected to continue.
In the second and third quarters of 2025, the Company offered SIPs to certain employees at the television broadcasting division; $0.1 million in related non-operating pension expense was recorded. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company offered a VRIP to certain employees at the television broadcasting division; $14.3 million in related non-operating pension expense was recorded in the second quarter of 2024. These programs were funded from the assets of the Company’s pension plan.

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. On July 15, 2025, Hoover acquired Arconic Architectural Products, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arconic Corporation (operating as Hoover Architectural Solutions), which manufactures aluminum cladding products and operates within the broader non-residential materials space from its facility in Eastman, GA. A significant portion of the purchase price was funded by the Company’s assumption of $107.4 million in net pension obligations.
Manufacturing revenues increased 30% and 6% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively. The revenue increases in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2025 are due to increased revenues at Hoover, Dekko and Joyce, partially offset by lower revenues at Forney. The revenue increase at Hoover is due largely to the Hoover Architectural Solutions business acquisition, partially offset by lower overall product demand at Hoover, particularly for multi-family housing. Hoover results included wood gains on inventory sales in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, with gains in the first nine months 2025 significantly higher than the prior year. Manufacturing operating results improved in the third quarter of 2025 due to significant increases at Dekko and Joyce, partially offset by declines at Hoover and Forney. Manufacturing operating results improved in the first nine months of 2025 due largely to a significant increase at Dekko, along with increases at Joyce and Forney, partially offset by a decline at Hoover. Hoover results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 were adversely impacted by transaction, transition and intangible asset amortization costs related to the acquisition.
34

Graham Healthcare Group (GHG) provides home health and hospice services in seven states. GHG also provides nursing care and prescription services for patients receiving in-home infusion treatments through its 87.5% interest in CSI Pharmacy Holding Company, LLC (CSI), and other healthcare services through Clarus (provides call management SaaS-based solution for physician groups and hospitals), Impact Medical (an Allergy, Asthma and Immunology physician practice), Skin Clique (a concierge provider of aesthetics products and services) and Surpass Behavioral Health (provides therapy for autism patients). Healthcare revenues increased
34%
and 36% and operating results were up substantially in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, largely due to significant growth at CSI from an expansion of infusion treatment offerings and patient service areas,
and growth in home health and hospice services and at the other healthcare businesses; operating results also benefited from a reduction in pension expense.
In January 2022, GHG implemented a pension credit retention program offering a pension credit up to $50,000 per employee, cliff vested after three years of continuous employment for certain existing employees and new employees. Effective April 1, 2024, this program is no longer being offered to new employees.
In August 2025, CSI purchased Pine Drug Holdings, LLC and was issued a California pharmacy license, with dispensing operations expected to commence later in the fourth quarter of 2025.
In the third quarter of 2025, home health and hospice recorded $1.0 million of lease impairment charges.
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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded equity in earnings of $2.9 million and $3.4 million for the third quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, from these joint ventures. The Company recorded equity in earnings of
$9.6
million and $10.2 million for the first nine months of
2025
and 2024, respectively.

The Company also holds interests in several other affiliates, including a number of home health and hospice joint ventures managed by GHG and two joint ventures managed by Kaplan. Overall, the Company recorded equity in earnings of affiliates of $15.8 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to losses of $13.4 million for the third quarter of 2024. These amounts include $5.8 million and $2.3 million in net losses for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, from affiliates whose operations are not managed by the Company. The 2025 amount also includes a gain of $18.6 million in equity earnings related to the Company’s investment in Intersection. The 2024 amount also includes a $14.4 million impairment loss on the Company’s investment in N2K Networks.
The Company recorded equity in earnings of affiliates of $10.5 million for the first nine months of 2025, compared to losses of $8.5 million for the first nine months of 2024. These amounts include $18.1 million and $4.9 million in net losses for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, from affiliates whose operations are not managed by the Company.

Net Interest Expense and Related Balances
The Company incurred net interest expense of
$15.7 million

for the third quarter and first nine months
of 2024.
The Company recorded interest expense
of
$0.7 million and $68.3 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively; compared to $9.7 million and $85.1 million in the third quarter and first nine
months of
2024, respectively, to adjust the fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest at GHG. The significant
37
adjustments recorded in the first quarter of 2025 and the first nine months of 2024 are largely related to a substantial increase in the estimated fair value of CSI. On February 25, 2025, the Company and a group of minority shareholders entered into an agreement to settle a significant portion of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest for a total of $205 million, which consisted of approximately $186.25 million in cash and $18.75 million in Graham Holdings Company Class B common stock.
Excluding these adjustments, the decrease in net interest expense relates primarily to lower interest rates on the Company’s variable debt.
At September 30, 2025, the Company had $731.9 million in borrowings outstanding at an average interest rate of 5.9%, and cash, marketable equity securities and other investments of $1,242.9 million.

nine
months of 2025 and 2024 was 30.6%
and 32.2%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2025 is based on the estimated full year 2025 effective tax rate, which includes the adverse impact of the permanent difference related to the interest expense recorded to adjust the fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest at GHG. For the first nine months of 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was based on the estimated full year 2024 effective tax rate, which includes the adverse impact of the permanent differences related to the interest expense recorded to adjust the fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest at GHG and goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges.
On July 4, 2025, legislation known as "An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Title II of H. Con. Res. 14" (the Act) was enacted in the U.S., which includes, among other things, many corporate income tax provisions that will impact the Company. The Company has considered the Act in its estimated full year 2025 effective tax rate,
38
and continues to analyze its various provisions. At this stage, the Company expects the Act will result in a significant decline in federal taxable income for 2025 and a related reduction in federal income tax payments for the remainder of 2025 as a result of changes to the income tax treatment of certain research and development costs and accelerated income tax deductions for certain capital expenditures.

Other
Graham Healthcare Group Leadership Changes
David Curtis and Justin DeWitte, co-CEOs of GHG, recently made the decision to step down from their respective leadership roles at GHG. Both will remain with GHG for a transition period and to support the search and onboarding of a new leader for the home health and hospice businesses. The other healthcare businesses are now reporting into Graham Holdings leadership directly.
Tariffs
Historically, tariffs have had a limited impact on the Company’s financial operations and business strategy. The Company’s holding company structure, with a diverse portfolio of U.S. businesses and international operations, serves to limit its overall risk. While the Company believes it is reasonably well insulated from tariffs currently, there is significant uncertainty as to future policies regarding U.S. and worldwide tariffs. Therefore, it is possible that the Company could be significantly impacted. At this time, however, we believe that macroeconomic risks related to tariff policies and a potential economic slowdown pose the most meaningful risk to the Company’s financial results. In considering our approach and strategy related to tariff policies and changing conditions, the Company will continue to track developments and develop plans as needed.
Financial Condition: Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 $232.8 million at September 30, 2025 and the undrawn $50.0 million delayed draw term loan at the automotive subsidiary; the delayed draw term loan was subsequently utilized to finance the acquisition of a Honda automotive dealership in October 2025.
During the first nine months of 2025, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased by $70.0 million, due to the
settlement of a significant portion of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest,
capital expenditures, purchase of marketable equity securities, business acquisitions, investments in equity affiliates, dividend payments, and net repayments of the vehicle floor plan payable and other borrowings, which was offset by cash generated from operations. In the first nine months of 2025, the Company’s borrowings decreased by $16.3 million, primarily due to repayments under the term loan, commercial notes at the automotive subsidiary and other debt.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had money market investments of $5.6 million and $3.9 million, that are included in cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2025, the Company held approximately $108 million in cash and cash equivalents in businesses domiciled outside the U.S., of which approximately $6 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
39
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, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s investments in marketable equity securities was $998.8 million, which includes investments in the common stock of five publicly traded companies. During the first nine months of 2025, the Company purchased $29.8 million of marketable equity securities. There were no sales of marketable equity securities during the first nine months of 2025. At September 30, 2025, the net unrealized gain related to the Company’s investments totaled $741.9 million.
The Company had working capital of $549.3 million and $898.8 million at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The working capital at September 30, 2025 includes the Company’s $400 million senior unsecured fixed rate notes that are due on June 1, 2026, which the Company intends to refinance on or before the due date. 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had borrowings outstanding of $731.9 million and $748.2 million, respectively. The Company’s borrowings at September 30, 2025 were mostly from $400.0 million of 5.75% unsecured notes due June 1, 2026, a term loan of $134.6 million, $67.2 million in outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, and real estate and capital term loans of $120.0 million at the automotive subsidiary. The Company’s borrowings at December 31, 2024 were mostly from $400.0 million of 5.75% unsecured notes due June 1, 2026, $62.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, a term loan of $140.1 million, and real estate and capital term loans of $127.6 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of approximately $835.2 million and $819.6 million, respectively, at average annual interest rates of approximately 6.0% and 6.4%, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred net interest expense of $111.3 million and $130.0 million, respectively. Included in the interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is $68.3 million and $85.1 million, respectively, to adjust the fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest (see Notes 7 and 8).
On February 25, 2025, the Company and a group of minority shareholders entered into an agreement to settle a significant portion of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest related to GHC One, including CSI, for a total of $205 million, which consisted of approximately $186.25 million in cash and $18.75 million in Graham Holdings Company Class B common stock.
The settlement agreement resulted in a $66.2 million increase to the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest obligation, which the Company recorded as interest expense in the first quarter of 2025. The remaining mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest obligation related to GHC One and GHC Two was $22.2 million at September 30, 2025.
On June 12, 2025, Standard & Poor’s affirmed the Company’s credit rating and maintained the outlook as Stable. On December 20, 2024, Moody’s affirmed the Company’s credit rating and maintained the outlook as Stable.
The Company’s current credit ratings are as follows:

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had $67.2 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.

Forward-Looking Statements
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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 and in the Company’s
2024
Annual Report to Stockholders, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, forecasts, and assumptions by the Company’s management and involve a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those stated, including, without limitation, comments about expectations related to acquisitions or dispositions or related business activities, the Company’s business strategies and objectives, the prospects for growth in the Company’s various business operations, the Company’s future financial performance, and the risks and uncertainties described in Item 1A of this report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement after the date on which such statement is made, even if new information subsequently becomes available.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to market risk in the normal course of its business due primarily to its ownership of marketable equity securities, which are subject to equity price risk; to its borrowing and cash-management activities, which are subject to interest rate risk; and to its foreign business operations, which are subject to foreign exchange rate risk. The Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in its 2024 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K have not otherwise changed significantly.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of September 30, 2025. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
September 30, 2025
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 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.
•
Changes in International Laws and Regulations, Travel Restrictions and Related Policy Announcements, Have Materially Adversely Affected, and Together with Changes in Immigration Laws or Sanctions, Could Continue to Materially Adversely Affect International Student Enrollments and Kaplan’s Business.
Kaplan is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations relating to its international operations. These include domestic laws with extraterritorial reach, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, international laws such as the U.K. Bribery Act, as well as the local regulatory regimes of the countries in which Kaplan operates. These laws and regulations change frequently. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in significant penalties or the revocation of Kaplan’s authority to operate in the applicable jurisdiction, each of which could have a material adverse effect on Kaplan’s operating results.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many governments imposed student travel restrictions (applicable to exit and entry), made recommendations for their students to return home and closed physical campus locations, and many state and professional bodies postponed or canceled examination dates related to state examinations and professional education programs, all of which have materially adversely affected Kaplan International’s operations and resulted in significant losses at Kaplan Languages Group during the pandemic. The emergence of new pandemics and consequential changes to travel and study arrangements in one or more countries could negatively affect Kaplan International and its operating results.
Further changes to the regulatory environment, including changes to government policy or practice in oversight and enforcement, or other factors, including war, civil unrest, geopolitical instability, imposition or extension of international sanctions, a natural disaster or a pandemic in either the students’ countries of origin or countries in which they desire to study, could continue to negatively affect Kaplan’s ability to attract and retain students and negatively affect Kaplan’s operating results. Increasingly, governments have begun imposing sales taxes on digital services, such as education, offered in their jurisdictions by foreign providers. Any significant changes to the availability of government funding for education or training, visa policies for students and their dependents, or other administrative immigration requirements, or the tax environment, including changes to tax laws, policies and practices, in any one or more countries in which KI operates or makes its services available could negatively affect its operating results. KI’s operations, institutions and programs in the U.S. may be subject to state-level regulation and oversight by state regulatory agencies, whose approval or exemption from approval is necessary to allow an institution to operate in the state. These agencies may establish standards for instruction, qualifications of faculty, location and nature of facilities, financial policies and responsibilities and other operational matters. Institutions that seek to admit international students are required to be federally certified and legally authorized to operate in the state in which the institution is physically located in order to be allowed to issue the relevant documentation to permit international students to obtain a visa. Agencies at both local and national levels in other countries may also impose similar requirements on Kaplan International’s operations outside the U.S.
A substantial portion of KI’s revenue comes from programs that prepare international students to study and travel in English-speaking countries. In 2024, university preparation programs were principally delivered in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the U.K. KI’s ability to enroll students in these programs is directly dependent on its ability to comply with complex regulatory environments.
KI’s ability to enroll international students in programs in the U.K., U.S., Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and other countries and to recruit students for study with KI’s partners is directly dependent on the laws and regulations governing student immigration. Changes to student immigration rules in a number of countries have impacted, and will continue to impact, KI’s ability to recruit students for study at its own colleges and its partner universities. Overall, there is a trend of tightening of student immigration regulations and access to student visas worldwide. Since entering office in January 2025, the new U.S. presidential administration has issued executive orders and announced policy changes that may affect international student entry to, or ability to study in, the U.S., including increased visa vetting for individuals seeking to enter the U.S. and restrictions on conduct while in the U.S. Negative perceptions regarding travel to the U.S., as well as the legal and regulatory environment’s susceptibility to change by the new administration, could have a negative impact on KI’s ability to recruit international students, which could materially adversely affect Kaplan’s U.S. Pathways business as well as the U.S.-based Kaplan
44
Languages Group. Changes to visa policies and practices have had a negative impact on students’ ability to travel to the U.S. to begin their courses, and this has significantly adversely affected those Kaplan International businesses.
Changes to levels of direct and indirect government funding for international education programs would also materially affect the success of KI’s operations. For example, if access to student loans or other funding were to be lost for KI operations that admit students who are entitled to receive the benefit of this funding, Kaplan’s operating results could be materially adversely affected. The U.K. government has announced that it will reduce funding for the Level 7 apprenticeship (“L7”) effective in 2026. Presently, these apprenticeships, equivalent to masters degree level study, can be funded from U.K. employer apprenticeship levy payments. The apprenticeship levy funds are payments to the government by U.K. employers of a certain minimum size calculated as a percentage of the employer’s wage bill. Beginning on January 1, 2026, the U.K. government will limit the use of levy funds primarily to individuals aged 21 or under at the start of their apprenticeships. This change will impact Kaplan Financial (a division of Kaplan Professional UK), an apprenticeship training provider whose U.K. apprenticeship business is a meaningful part of Kaplan Professional UK’s business. Kaplan Financial expects that the majority of the L7 revenues would now also be supported through an increased number of self-funded commercial transactions. Apprenticeships already enrolled prior to January 1, 2026, will still benefit from the levy funded model through the term of their apprenticeship. However, enrollments after that date will be impacted.
