GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY REPORTS
SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS
ARLINGTON, VA - Graham Holdings Company (NYSE: GHC) today reported its financial results for the second quarter and first six months of 2024. The Company also filed its Form 10-Q today for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Division Operating Results
Revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $1,185.3 million, up 7% from $1,105.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. Revenues increased at education, healthcare and automotive, partially offset by declines at television broadcasting, manufacturing and other businesses. The Company reported operating income of $25.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $58.1 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in operating results is due to goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges at World of Good Brands (WGB) and declines at television broadcasting, manufacturing and other businesses, partially offset by increases at education, healthcare and automotive. The Company reported adjusted operating cash flow (non-GAAP) of $98.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $100.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. Adjusted operating cash flow declined at television broadcasting, manufacturing and other businesses, partially offset by increases at education, healthcare and automotive. Capital expenditures totaled $20.8 million and $22.5 million for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Revenue for the first six months of 2024 was $2,337.9 million, up 9% from $2,136.5 million in the first six months of 2023. Revenues increased at education, healthcare and automotive, partially offset by declines at television broadcasting, manufacturing and other businesses. The Company recorded operated income of $61.4 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to $85.7 million for the first six months of 2023. The decrease in operating results is due to goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges at WGB and declines at television broadcasting, manufacturing, automotive and other businesses, partially offset by increases at education and healthcare. The Company reported adjusted operating cash flow (non-GAAP) of $181.3 million for the first six months of 2024, compared to $171.6 million for the first six months of 2023. Adjusted operating cash flow improved at education, healthcare, automotive and other businesses, partially offset by declines at manufacturing. Capital expenditures totaled $42.2 million and $44.8 million for the first six months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses
There were no significant business acquisitions or dispositions during the first six months of 2024.
Debt, Cash and Marketable Equity Securities
At June 30, 2024, the Company had $834.8 million in borrowings outstanding at an average interest rate of 6.4%, including $132.2 million outstanding on its $300 million revolving credit facility. Cash, marketable equity securities and other investments totaled $1,009.6 million at June 30, 2024.
Overall, the Company recognized $19.6 million and $123.8 million in net gains on marketable equity securities in the second quarter and first six months of 2024, respectively, compared to $78.6 million and $96.7 million in net gains on marketable equity securities in the second quarter and first six months of 2023, respectively.
Common Stock Repurchases
During the second quarter and first six months of 2024, the Company purchased a total of 40,180 and 68,786 shares, respectively, of its Class B common stock at a cost of $29.5 million and $49.5 million, respectively.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY
(Unaudited)
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) included in this press release, the Company has provided information regarding Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Net income excluding certain items described below, reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures, when read in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financials, provide useful information to investors by offering:
•the ability to make meaningful period-to-period comparisons of the Company’s ongoing results;
•the ability to identify trends in the Company’s underlying business; and
•a better understanding of how management plans and measures the Company’s underlying business.
Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Net income, excluding certain items, should not be considered substitutes or alternatives to computations calculated in accordance with and required by GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be read only in conjunction with financial information presented on a GAAP basis.
The gains and losses on marketable equity securities relate to the change in the fair value (quoted prices) of its portfolio of equity securities. The mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the ownership portion of a group of minority shareholders at a subsidiary of the Company's Healthcare business. The Company measures the redemption value of this minority ownership on a quarterly basis with changes in the fair value recorded as interest expense or income, which is included in net income for the period. The effect of gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest are not directly related to the core performance of the Company’s business operations since these items do not directly relate to the sale of the Company’s services or products. The accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) require that the Company include the gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest in net income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company excludes the gains and losses on marketable equity securities and net interest expense related to fair value adjustments of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest from the non-GAAP adjusted net income because these items are independent of the Company’s core operations and not indicative of the performance of the Company’s business operations.
