Prepared Remarks -
Thank you, Tracey. Hello and thank you for joining Chegg’s second-quarter 2025 earnings call. Today’s call will be structured in two areas: first, an update on the strategic review process; and second, detail and depth on our transformation to profitable growth, specifically within Skills and
As part of the strategic review process, in conjunction with our advisors, we have undertaken a comprehensive evaluation of both our internal operations and the broader market landscape to drive the best possible outcome for our stockholders and maximize long-term shareholder value. As a reminder, we are exploring a range of outcomes including being acquired, undertaking a go-private transaction, or remaining as a public standalone company. We continue to engage with a select group of parties.
Q2 was a good quarter for
As we look towards 2026,
- Busuu’s B2C revenue increased 6% year-over-year. In the second half of the year, B2C focus will be on product innovation with continued emphasis on AI as a driver for personalization
-
Busuu’s B2B business achieved an even more impressive 39% year-over-year revenue growth, continuing a robust double-digit growth trajectory, including retention improving by 22 percentage points year over year. Throughout H2, we will continue our rollout with Guild into the English learning vertical and expand our offering with Learning Pathways , which offer personalized courses focused on key language and professional skills for specific roles and industries. We have had significant B2B traction in the DACH region with new partners such as HSF Fenster & Turen and
Hubert Burda Media .
We remain confident that
Our Skills business focuses on the
We spent the last 12 months modernizing our product offering and prioritizing three growth areas: AI programs, career fundamentals and professional upskilling. We’re really excited to be seeing exactly what we want: enrollments have increased 16% quarter over quarter, and an 11% increase in monthly active users across our new programs quarter over quarter.
Looking ahead to Q3, we will continue to invest in and expand our go-to-market strategy for Skills. Here are our priorities:
- We are focusing on growing our direct B2B presence as well as deepening relationships with distribution partners such as Guild.
- We are also pursuing ACE Credit recommendations for several of our Skills programs to count for college credits, helping to better support those seeking degrees and creating a bridge for us to monetize students as they transition from our academic services to our career services.
- Finally, we are continuing to strengthen and broaden our programs, expanding our reaching into the enormous upskilling market opportunity. For a complete view of our skills catalog, please reference our Investor Deck.
We are optimistic about the potential for our Skills business and believe it is on a path to profitability and positive double digit revenue growth in 2026.
Chegg Study continues to serve millions of students, and our investments in AI have transformed Chegg Study into a personalized learning coach that helps students succeed and improve their opportunity to graduate. Earlier this year we launched Solution Scout and AI-powered practice and flashcard generators. We’re getting positive feedback, with students reporting a 23% lift in the statement “Chegg helped me learn today” and a 17% lift in students who “intend to use
For the rest of 2025, we’ll continue to push the differentiated and personalized nature of our product. Research from the Pew Center confirms that the freshman class of 2025 is expected to be the biggest, most diverse ever. This September, we’ll introduce two new core capabilities into the existing user interface; pushing Chegg Study into a personalized learning coach for the modern learner:
- First, we are building a smart planning tool to help students set learning goals, organize their work, and stay on track with personalized, step-by-step guidance.
- Second, we are introducing a voice interface that, when combined with visual aids and a thoughtful AI agent, will enable deeper learning across topics and disciplines. Voice matters for learnings because it improves comprehension and memory, clarifies thinking and increases engagement.
Finally, our business-to-institution pilot program continues to expand, moving from 5 active pilot programs at the start of the year, to now 23. With many pilots in place, we are focused on efficacy studies validating what we have always known: students who use
To wrap us up, we continue to make progress towards the strategic alternatives process, and are pleased with the positive trends we’ve seen in
With that, I’ll turn it over to David.

About
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement Chegg’s financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
As presented in the “Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA,” “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Reconciliation of Forward-Looking Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA,” and “Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow,” tables below, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes or includes one or more of the following items:
Share-based compensation expense.
Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond
Amortization of intangible assets.
Acquisition-related compensation costs.
Acquisition-related compensation costs include compensation expense resulting from the employment retention of certain key employees established in accordance with the terms of the acquisitions. In most cases, these acquisition-related compensation costs are not factored into management's evaluation of potential acquisitions or
Amortization of debt issuance costs.
The difference between the effective interest expense and the contractual interest expense are excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash expenses are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.
Content and related assets charge.
The content and related assets charge represents a write off of certain content and related assets. The content and related assets charge is excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because it is the result of a discrete event that is not considered core-operating activities.
Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments.
We utilize a non-GAAP effective tax rate for evaluating our operating results, which is based on our current mid-term projections. This non-GAAP tax rate could change for various reasons including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, changes to our corporate structure and other significant events.
Restructuring charges.
Restructuring charges represent expenses incurred in conjunction with a reduction in workforce.
Impairment expense.
Impairment expense represents the impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, and property and equipment.
Impairment of lease related assets.
The impairment of lease related assets represents impairment charge recorded on the ROU asset and leasehold improvements associated with the closure of our offices. The impairment of lease related assets is the result of an event that is not considered a core-operating activity and we believe its exclusion provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.
Loss contingency.
We record a contingent liability for a loss contingency related to legal matters when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. The loss contingency is excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are the result of discrete events that are not considered core-operating activities.
Impairment of strategic equity investment.
The impairment of strategic equity investment represents a one-time event to record an impairment charge on our strategic equity investment. The impairment of strategic equity investment is a non-cash expense and we believe the exclusion from non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period results.
Gain on sale of strategic equity investment.
The gain on sale of strategic equity investment represents a one-time event to record the sale of our equity investment in
Gain on early extinguishment of debt.
The difference between the carrying amount of early extinguished debt and the reacquisition price is excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash gains are not indicative of ongoing operating performance.
Effect of shares for stock plan activity.
The effect of shares for stock plan activity represents the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding.
Effect of shares related to convertible senior notes.
The effect of shares related to convertible senior notes represents the dilutive impact of our convertible senior notes, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding.
Free cash flow.
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which include, without limitation, statements regarding our ongoing process to explore strategic alternatives and the outcome of such process; our ongoing restructuring plan, including the amount and timing of the charges we will incur in connection with the restructuring and the impact of the restructuring on our non-GAAP financial measures, including the amount of cost savings and the timing of those savings; our ability to increase efficiency across the business and to manage our expenses prudently as the competitive landscape evolves; our strategy to diversify our revenue streams with question-and-answer pair licensing, business-to-institution programs and other enterprise offerings; our ability to weather current and future business challenges and to stabilize the business; the impact of generative AI for academic support on the education ecosystem at large, including universities and education technology companies broadly; the speed, scale and potential impact of
