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. The Company’s media operations comprise the ownership and operation of
seven
television broadcasting stations, several websites and print publications, and a marketing solutions provider. The Company’s other business operations include manufacturing, automotive dealerships 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 six
months ended
June 30, 2019
and
2018
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, 2018
.
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 February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance that requires, among other things, a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset representing an entity’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a liability for lease payments on its balance sheet, regardless of classification of a lease as operating or financing. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and account for the lease similar to previous guidance for operating leases. This new guidance supersedes all prior guidance. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard provides two methods of adoption under the modified retrospective approach. Under the comparative date method, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Under the effective date method, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases as of the period of adoption. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2019 using the effective date method.
The Company elected the available package of transition practical expedients, which allowed the Company to use its historical assessments of whether contracts are or contain leases, lease classification and initial direct costs. Additionally, the Company elected the transition practical expedient to use hindsight to determine the lease term. Upon adoption of the new guidance, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of $
369.3
million
and lease liabilities of $
418.3
million
.
6
The cumulative effect of the changes to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of adopting the new guidance was as follows:

The fair values recorded were based upon valuations. 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
$
32.3
million
of goodwill for income tax purposes for the acquisitions completed in
2018
.
The acquired companies were consolidated into the Company’s financial statements starting on their respective acquisition dates.

LEASES
The Company has operating leases for substantially all of its educational facilities, corporate offices and other facilities used in conducting its business, as well as certain equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.
Operating leases are included in lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of lease liabilities, and lease liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets also include any initial direct costs, prepaid lease payments and lease incentives received, when applicable. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company used the incremental borrowing rate on December 31, 2018 for operating leases that commenced prior to that date.
The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease by one to
10
years
or more when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. Leases with a term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; however, lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease components from nonlease components. As such, lease expense includes these nonlease components, when applicable. Fixed lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease expense is recognized when incurred. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. In some instances, the Company subleases its leased real estate facilities to third parties. The Company does not have significant financing leases.

The carrying value is net of
$
0.2
million
of unamortized debt issuance costs as of
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively.
The Company’s other indebtedness at
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
is at an interest rate of
2
%
and matures in
2026
.
On January 31, 2019, the Company’s automotive subsidiary entered into a Commercial Note with SunTrust Bank in an aggregate principal amount of
$
30
million
. The Commercial Note is payable over a 10 year period in monthly installments of
$
0.25
million
, plus accrued and unpaid interest, due on the first of each month, with a final payment on January 31, 2029.
The Commercial Note bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable interest rate of
1.75
%
or
2
%
per annum, in each case determined on a quarterly basis based upon the automotive subsidiary’s Adjusted Leverage Ratio.
The Commercial Note contains terms and conditions, including remedies in the event of a default
13
by the automotive subsidiary.
On the same date, the Company’s automotive subsidiary entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a total notional value of
$
30
million
and a maturity date of January 31, 2029.
The interest rate swap agreement will pay the automotive subsidiary variable interest on the
$
30
million
notional amount at the one-month LIBOR, and the automotive subsidiary will pay counterparties a fixed rate of
2.7
%
, effectively resulting in a total fixed interest rate of
4.7
%
on the outstanding borrowings at the current applicable margin of
2.0
%
. The interest rate swap agreement was entered into to convert the variable rate borrowing under the Commercial Note into a fixed rate borrowing. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap agreement and the underlying borrowing, the interest rate swap was determined to be effective and thus qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As such, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows.
On May 30, 2018, the Company issued
$
400
million
senior unsecured fixed-rate notes due June 1, 2026 (the Notes). The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries, as described in the terms of the indenture, dated as of May 30, 2018 (the Indenture). The Notes have a coupon rate of
5.75
%
per annum, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1.
The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time at the respective redemption prices described in the Indenture.
On June 29, 2018, the Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to
redeem the
$
400
million
of
7.25
%
notes due February 1, 2019.
The Company incurred
$
11.4
million
in debt extinguishment costs in relation to the early termination of the
7.25
%
notes.
In combination with the issuance of the Notes, the Company and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries named therein as guarantors entered into an amended and restated credit agreement providing for a U.S.
$
300
million
five-year revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) with each of the lenders party thereto, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries from time to time party thereto as foreign borrowers, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (Wells Fargo), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. as Documentation Agents (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), which amends and restates the Company’s existing Five Year Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2015, among the Company, certain of its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, the several lenders from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent (the Existing Credit Agreement). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends the Existing Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to May 30, 2023, unless the Company and the lenders agree to further extend the term, (ii) increase the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility to U.S.
$
300
million
, consisting of a U.S. Dollar tranche of U.S.
$
200
million
for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and a multicurrency tranche equivalent to U.S.
$
100
million
for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and certain foreign currencies, (iii) provide for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars and certain other foreign currencies specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, (iv) permit certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company to be added to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as foreign borrowers thereunder and (v) effect certain other modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement.
Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on a quarterly basis, based on the Company’s leverage ratio, of between
0.15
%
and
0.25
%
of the amount of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. Any borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are made on an unsecured basis and bear interest at the Company’s option, either at (a) a fluctuating interest rate equal to the highest of Wells Fargo’s prime rate,
0.5
percent above the Federal funds rate or the one-month Eurodollar rate plus
1
%
, or (b) the Eurodollar rate for the applicable currency and interest period as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is generally a periodic rate equal to LIBOR, CDOR, BBSY or SOR, as applicable, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b) plus an applicable margin that depends on the Company’s consolidated debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (as determined pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Total Net Leverage Ratio). The Company and its foreign subsidiaries may draw on the Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. Any outstanding borrowings must be repaid on or prior to the final termination date. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains terms and conditions, including remedies in the event of a default by the Company, typical of facilities of this type and requires the Company to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio of not greater than
3.5
to 1.0 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least
3.5
to 1.0 based upon the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense as determined pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Company is in compliance with all financial covenants as of
June 30, 2019
.
During the three months ended
June 30, 2019
and

of interest expense related to the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest redemption settlement at GHG (see note 2). The fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is based on the redemption value resulting from a negotiated settlement.
At
June 30, 2019
, the fair value of the Company’s
5.75
%
unsecured notes, based on quoted market prices (Level 2 fair value assessment), totaled

____________
(1)
The Company’s money market investments are included in Cash and Cash Equivalents and the value considers the liquidity of the counterparty.
(2)
The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are held in common shares of U.S. corporations that are actively traded on U.S. stock exchanges. Price quotes for these shares are readily available.
(3)
Includes U.S. Government Securities, corporate bonds, mutual funds and time deposits. These investments are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of the security or inputs that include quoted market prices for similar instruments and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
(4)
Included in Deferred Charges and Other Assets. The Company utilized a market approach model using the notional amount of the interest rate swap multiplied by the observable inputs of time to maturity and market interest rates.
(5)
Includes Graham Holdings Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan and supplemental savings plan benefits under the Graham Holdings Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which are included in accrued compensation and related benefits. These plans measure the market value of a participant’s balance in a notional investment account that is comprised primarily of mutual funds, which are based on observable market prices. However, since the deferred compensation obligations are not exchanged in an active market, they are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation are included in operating income.
(6)
Included in Other Liabilities. The Company utilized a market approach model using the notional amount of the interest rate swap multiplied by the observable inputs of time to maturity and market interest rates.
In the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded an other long-lived asset impairment charge of
$
0.7
million
. The remeasurement of the 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 other long-lived assets and made estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows and discount rates.

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:

PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT PLANS
On March 22, 2018, the Company eliminated the accrual of pension benefits for certain Kaplan University employees related to their future service. As a result, the Company remeasured the accumulated and projected benefit obligation of the pension plan as of March 22, 2018, and the Company recorded a curtailment gain in the first quarter of 2018. The new measurement basis was used for the recognition of the Company’s pension benefit following the remeasurement. The curtailment gain on the Kaplan University transaction is included in the gain on the Kaplan University transaction and reported in Other income, net on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Defined Benefit Plan Assets.
The Company’s defined benefit pension obligations are funded by a portfolio made up of a U.S. stock index fund, 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 plan were allocated as follows:

The Company manages approximately
44
%
of the pension assets internally, of which the majority is invested in a U.S. stock index fund with the remaining investments in Berkshire Hathaway stock and short-term fixed income securities. The remaining
56
%
of plan assets are managed by
two
investment companies. The goal for the investments 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, no more than
25
%
of the assets it manages in specified international exchanges at the time the investment is made, and no less than
5
%
of the assets could be invested in fixed-income securities. The other investment manager cannot invest more than
20
%
of the assets at the time of purchase in the stock of Berkshire Hathaway, 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 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.
18
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
June 30, 2019
. 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
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, the pension plan held investments in
one
common stock and
one
U.S. stock index fund that exceeded
10
%
of total plan assets. These investments were valued at
$
1,000.1
million
and
$
945.6
million
at
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively, or approximately
41
%
and
45
%
, respectively, of total plan assets.

CONTINGENCIES AND REGULATORY MATTERS
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, invasion of privacy; trademark, copyright and patent infringement; violations of 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
$
45
million
.

On September 3, 2015, Kaplan sold to ECA substantially all of the assets of KHE nationally accredited on-ground Title IV eligible schools (KHE Campuses). The transaction included the transfer of certain real estate leases that were guaranteed by Kaplan. As part of the transaction, Kaplan retained liability for, among other things, obligations arising under certain lease guarantees.
ECA is currently in receivership and has terminated all of its higher education operations other than the New England College of Business (NECB). The receiver has repudiated all of ECA’s real estate leases not connected to NECB. Although ECA is required to indemnify Kaplan for any amounts Kaplan must pay due to ECA’s failure to fulfill its obligations under real estate leases guaranteed by Kaplan, ECA’s financial situation and the existence of secured and unsecured creditors make it unlikely that Kaplan will recover from ECA. In the second half of 2018, the Company recorded an estimated
$
17.5
million
in losses on guarantor lease obligations in connection with this transaction in other non-operating expense. The Company continues to monitor the status of these obligations and there was no significant change to estimated losses in the first half of 2019.
Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), a department of the U.K. government responsible for the collection of taxes, has raised assessments against the Kaplan U.K. Pathways business for Value Added Tax (VAT) relating to 2017 and earlier years, which have been paid by Kaplan. In September 2017, in a case captioned
Kaplan International Colleges UK Limited
v.
The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs
, Kaplan challenged these assessments. The Company believes it has met all requirements under U.K. VAT law and expects to recover the
£
16.8
million
receivable related to the assessments and subsequent payments that have been paid. Following a hearing held in January 2019, before the First Tier Tax Tribunal, all issues related to EU law in the case were referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union. If the Company does not prevail in this case, a pre-tax charge of
£
16.8
million
will be recorded to operating expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
In March 2018, HMRC issued new VAT guidance indicating a change of policy in relation to certain aspects of a cost sharing exemption that could impact the U.K. Pathways business adversely if this guidance were to become law. As of March 31, 2019, this guidance had not been incorporated into U.K. law. If Kaplan is not successful in preserving a valid exemption under U.K. VAT law, the U.K. Pathways business would incur additional VAT expense in the future.
In a separate matter, there was a legal case awaiting judgment at the Supreme Court in the U.K. as at December 31, 2018 that could have impacted U.K. Pathways’ ability to receive the benefit of an exemption from charging its students VAT on tuition fees. The case could have reversed or amended the law and guidance permitting private providers to qualify as a “college of a university” and, therefore, receive the benefit of an exemption from charging its students VAT on tuition fees. However the Supreme Court decided the case in the college’s favor. The result was more favorable to private providers working in collaboration with a university than the opposing view. The Supreme Court emphasized five key tests for a private provider to satisfy so that it could exempt its services as a “college of a university”, even if it did not have a constitutional link to the university. Satisfying these tests would generally show that the college had a sufficiently close relationship with the university and its activities were sufficiently integrated with the university, to constitute a “college of a university”. The new test has now been incorporated into official HMRC guidance.
Department of Education (ED) Program Reviews.
The ED has undertaken program reviews at various KHE locations.
On February 23, 2015, the ED began a program review assessing KU’s administration of its Title IV and Higher Education Act programs during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 award years. In 2018, Kaplan contributed the institutional assets and operations of KU to Purdue Global, and the university became Purdue Global, under the ownership and control of Purdue University. However, Kaplan retains liability for any financial obligations the ED might impose under this program review and that are the result of actions taken during the time that Kaplan owned the institution. On September 28, 2018, the ED issued a Preliminary Program Report (Preliminary Report). This Preliminary Report is not final, and the ED may change the findings in the final report. None of the initial findings in the Preliminary Report carries material financial liability. Although the program review technically covers only the 2013–2015 award years, the ED included a review of the treatment of student financial aid refunds for students who withdrew from a program prior to completion in 2017–2018. KHE cannot predict the outcome of this review, when it will be completed, whether any final findings of non-compliance with financial aid program or other requirements will impact KHE’s operations, or what liability or other limitations the ED might place on KHE or Purdue Global as a result of this review.
There are also
two
open program reviews at campuses that were part of the KHE Campuses business prior to its sale in 2015 to ECA. The ED’s final reports on the program reviews at former KHE Broomall, PA, and Pittsburgh, PA, locations are pending. KHE retains responsibility for any financial obligations resulting from these program reviews.
21
The Company does not expect the open program reviews to have a material impact on KHE; however, the results of open program reviews and their impact on Kaplan’s operations are uncertain.
Regulatory Matters.
In November 2018, Kaplan Learning Institute in Singapore (KLI) was notified by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Education, that its right to deliver workforce skills qualifications (WSQ) courses under the Leadership & People Management framework would be suspended for six months from December 1, 2018. In June 2019, SSG notified KLI that from July 1, 2019, SSG was suspending KLI’s WSQ Approved Training Organization status for twelve months and terminating its WSQ course accreditation and funding due to findings of non-compliance with WSQ assessment principles. Kaplan Singapore subsequently began voluntarily de-registering KLI as a Private Education institution. These actions have and will continue to adversely impact Kaplan Singapore’s revenues and operating results for 2019, as compared to 2018.

from

Kaplan International includes English-language programs, and postsecondary education and professional training businesses largely outside the United States.
Kaplan International revenue increased
2%
for both the
second
quarter
and first
six
months
of
2019
.
On a constant currency basis, revenue increased 5% and 6% for the
second
quarter
and first
six
months
of 2019, respectively.
Operating income increased to
$25.5 million
in the
second
quarter of
2019
, compared to
$24.2 million
in the second quarter of
2018
. Operating income increased to
$49.8 million
in
27
the
first
six
months of
2019
, compared to
$44.6 million
in the first
six
months of
2018
. Revenue and operating
income increased
due to improved results at Pathways and UK Professional, offset by declines in Singapore and English Language training.
In November 2018, Kaplan Learning Institute in Singapore (KLI) was notified by SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG), a statutory board under the Singapore Ministry of Education, that its right to deliver workforce skills qualifications (WSQ) courses under the Leadership & People Management framework would be suspended for six months from December 1, 2018. In June 2019, SSG notified KLI that from July 1, 2019, SSG was suspending KLI’s WSQ Approved Training Organization status for twelve months and terminating its WSQ course accreditation and funding due to findings of non-compliance with WSQ assessment principles. Kaplan Singapore subsequently began voluntarily de-registering KLI as a Private Education institution. These actions have and will continue to adversely impact Kaplan Singapore’s revenues and operating results for 2019, as compared to 2018.
Prior to the KU Transaction closing on March 22, 2018, Higher Education included Kaplan’s domestic postsecondary education businesses, made up of fixed-facility colleges and online postsecondary and career programs.
Following the KU Transaction closing, the Higher Education division includes the results as a service provider to higher education institutions.
In the
second
quarter and first
six
months
of
2019
, Higher Education revenue was down
11%
and
14%
, respectively,
due to the KU Transaction.
In the first six months of 2019, the Company recorded a portion of the service fee with Purdue Global based on an assessment of its collectability under the TOSA.
This resulted in a decline in Higher Education results for the first six months of 2019, as the Company recorded the full service fee for Purdue Global for the first six months of 2018. Following the transition from KU, Purdue Global launched a planned marketing campaign to fully establish its new brand. This significant marketing spend, which the Company supports, impacts the cash generated by Purdue Global and its current ability to fully pay the KHE service fee under the TOSA. The Company will continue to assess the collectability of the service fee with Purdue Global on a quarterly basis to make a determination as to whether to record all or part of the service fee in the future and whether to make adjustments to service fee amounts recognized in earlier periods.
Kaplan Test Preparation (KTP) includes Kaplan’s standardized test preparation programs. In September 2018, KTP acquired the test preparation and study guide assets of Barron’s Educational Series, a New York-based education publishing company. KTP revenue
decreased
4%
and
1%
for the
second
quarter and first
six
months of
2019
, respectively. Excluding revenue from the Barron’s acquisition, revenues were down 11% and 8%, respectively, due to declines in demand for classroom-based offerings, offset in part by growth in online-based programs.
KTP operating results declined
30%
and
42%
in the
second
quarter
and first
six
months
of
2019
, respectively, due primarily to revenue declines for classroom-based offerings.
Operating losses for the new economy skills training programs were
$2.0 million
and
$1.8 million
for the
first
six
months
of
2019
and
2018
, respectively.
In the second quarter of 2019, the Company approved a Separation Incentive Program (SIP) that will reduce the number of employees at KTP and Higher Education. In connection with the SIP, the Company recorded
$6.6 million
in non-operating pension expense in the second quarter of 2019.
Kaplan Professional (U.S.) includes the domestic professional and other continuing education businesses. In the
second
quarter and first
six
months of
2019
, Kaplan Professional (U.S.) revenue was up
13%
and
19%
,
due to the May 2018 acquisition of Professional Publications, Inc. (PPI), an independent publisher of professional licensing exam review materials that provides engineering, surveying, architecture, and interior design licensure exam review products, and the July 2018 acquisition of College for Financial Planning (CFFP), a provider of financial education and training to individuals through programs of study for professionals pursuing a career in Financial Planning.
Kaplan Professional (U.S.) operating results declined in the second quarter of 2019, due to lower demand for real estate and accountancy programs and increased spending for sales and marketing.
Kaplan Professional (U.S) operating results increased
14%
for the
first
six
months of
2019
, due mostly to earnings from PPI and CFFP.
Kaplan corporate and other represents unallocated expenses of Kaplan, Inc.’s corporate office, other minor businesses and certain shared activities.
Television Broadcasting
Revenue at the television broadcasting division increased
2%
to
$116.6 million
in the
second
quarter of
2019
, from
$114.1 million
in the same period of
2018
. The revenue increase is due to
$4.8 million in higher retransmission revenues, offset by a $3.4 million decrease in political advertising revenue.
In the
second
quarter of
2019
and
2018
, the television broadcasting division recorded
$7.8 million
and
$0.8 million
, respectively, in reductions to operating expenses related to property, plant and equipment gains due to new equipment received at no cost in connection with the spectrum repacking mandate of the FCC.
Operating income for the
second
quarter of
2019
increased
8%
to
$44.5 million
, from
$41.1 million
in the same period of
2018
, due to increased property, plant and equipment gains, partially offset by higher network fees.
28
Revenue at the television broadcasting division increased
1%
to
$224.9 million
in the first
six
months of
2019
, from
$222.9 million
in the same period of
2018
. The revenue increase is due primarily to $14.4 million in higher retransmission revenues, offset by an $8.6 million decrease in 2018 incremental winter Olympics-related advertising revenue at the Company’s NBC stations and a $5.1 million decrease in political advertising revenue
. In the first
six
months of
2019
and
2018
, the television broadcasting division recorded
$9.6 million
and
$1.1 million
, respectively, in reductions to operating expenses related to non-cash property, plant and equipment gains due to new equipment received at no cost in connection with the spectrum repacking mandate of the FCC.
Operating income for the first
six
months of
2019
decreased
2%
to
$80.0 million
from
$81.7 million
in the same period of
2018
, due to the decline in political advertising revenue, the absence of winter Olympics-related advertising and increased network fees, partially offset by increased property, plant and equipment gains.
In March 2019, the Company’s television station in Orlando (WKMG) entered into a new network affiliation agreement with CBS that covers the period April 7, 2019 through June 30, 2022.
Healthcare
The Graham Healthcare Group (GHG) provides home health and hospice services in three states.
Healthcare revenues increased
in the
first
six
months of
2019
, largely due to growth in home health and hospice services.
The improvement in GHG operating results in 2019 is due to increased revenues and the absence of integration costs and other overall cost reduction in the
first
six
months of
2019
.

32
Capital Expenditures
During the first
six
months of
2019
, the Company’s capital expenditures totaled
$51.1 million
. This amount includes assets acquired during the year, whereas the amounts reflected in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are based on cash payments made during the relevant periods. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will be in the range of
$90
million to
$100
million in
2019
. This includes amounts for constructing an academic and student residential facility in connection with Kaplan’s Pathways program in Liverpool, U.K. This also includes capital expenditures in connection with spectrum repacking at the Company’s television stations in Detroit, MI, Jacksonville, FL, and Roanoke, VA, as mandated by the FCC; these expenditures are expected to be largely reimbursed to the Company by the FCC.
Liquidity
The Company’s borrowings were
$506.4 million
and
$477.1 million
, at
June 30, 2019
and
December 31, 2018
, respectively.
At
June 30, 2019
, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in marketable securities and other investments totaling
$724.5 million
, compared with
$778.7 million
at
December 31, 2018
. At
June 30, 2019
, the Company held approximately $86 million in cash and cash equivalents in businesses domiciled outside the U.S., of which approximately $8 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 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.
The Company’s net cash used by operating activities, as reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, was
$16.7 million
for the first
six
months of
2019
, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$70.5 million
for the first
six
months of
2018
. The decrease is due to changes in working capital and an increase in incentive compensation payments.
On January 31, 2019, the Company’s automotive subsidiary entered into a Commercial Note with SunTrust Bank in an aggregate principal amount of
$30 million
. The Commercial Note is payable over a 10 year period in monthly installments of
$0.25 million
, plus accrued and unpaid interest, due on the first of each month, with a final payment on January 31, 2029.
The Commercial Note bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable interest rate of
1.75%
or
2.00%
per annum, in each case determined on a quarterly basis based upon the automotive subsidiary’s Adjusted Leverage Ratio.
The Commercial Note contains 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 an interest rate swap agreement with a total notional value of
$30 million
and a maturity date of January 31, 2029.
The interest rate swap agreement will pay the automotive subsidiary variable interest on the
$30 million
notional amount at the one-month LIBOR, and the automotive subsidiary will pay counterparties a fixed rate of
2.7%
, effectively resulting in a total fixed interest rate of
4.7%
on the outstanding borrowings at the current applicable margin of
2.0%
. The interest rate swap agreement was entered into to convert the variable rate borrowing under the Commercial Note into a fixed rate borrowing. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap agreement and the underlying borrowing, the interest rate swap was determined to be effective and thus qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As such, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows.
The Company finances all new vehicle inventory through a standardized floor plan facility (the “floor plan facility”) with SunTrust Bank. The new vehicle floor plan facility bears interest at variable rates that are based on LIBOR plus
1.15%
per annum.
The weighted average interest rate for the floor plan facility was
3.4%
and
3.5%
, respectively, for the three and
six
months ended
June 30, 2019
. As of
June 30, 2019
, the aggregate capacity under the floor plan facility was
$60 million
, of which
$50.4 million
had been utilized, and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The floor plan facility is 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.
On May 30, 2018, the Company issued
$400 million
senior unsecured fixed-rate notes due June 1, 2026 (the Notes). The Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by certain of the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries, as described in the terms of the indenture, dated as of May 30, 2018 (the Indenture). The Notes have a coupon rate of
5.75%
per annum, payable semi-annually on June 1 and December 1.
The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time at the respective redemption prices described in the Indenture.
33
On June 29, 2018, the Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes, together with cash on hand, to
redeem the
$400 million
of
7.25%
notes due February 1, 2019.
The Company incurred
$11.4 million
in debt extinguishment costs in relation to the early termination of the
7.25%
notes.
In combination with the issuance of the Notes, the Company and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries named therein as guarantors entered into an amended and restated credit agreement providing for a U.S.
$300 million
five-year revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) with each of the lenders party thereto, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries from time to time party thereto as foreign borrowers, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (Wells Fargo), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. as Documentation Agents (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), which amends and restates the Company’s existing Five Year Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2015, among the Company, certain of its domestic subsidiaries as guarantors, the several lenders from time to time party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent (the Existing Credit Agreement). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends the Existing Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to May 30, 2023, unless the Company and the lenders agree to further extend the term, (ii) increase the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility to U.S.
$300 million
, consisting of a U.S. Dollar tranche of U.S.
$200 million
for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and a multicurrency tranche equivalent to U.S.
$100 million
for borrowings in U.S. Dollars and certain foreign currencies, (iii) provide for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars and certain other foreign currencies specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, (iv) permit certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company to be added to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as foreign borrowers thereunder and (v) effect certain other modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement.
Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on a quarterly basis, based on the Company’s leverage ratio, of between
0.15%
and
0.25%
of the amount of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. Any borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are made on an unsecured basis and bear interest at the Company’s option, either at (a) a fluctuating interest rate equal to the highest of Wells Fargo’s prime rate,
0.5
percent above the Federal funds rate or the one-month Eurodollar rate plus
1%
, or (b) the Eurodollar rate for the applicable currency and interest period as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which is generally a periodic rate equal to LIBOR, CDOR, BBSY or SOR, as applicable, in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b) plus an applicable margin that depends on the Company’s consolidated debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (as determined pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Total Net Leverage Ratio). The Company and its foreign subsidiaries may draw on the Revolving Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. Any outstanding borrowings must be repaid on or prior to the final termination date. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains terms and conditions, including remedies in the event of a default by the Company, typical of facilities of this type and requires the Company to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio of not greater than
3.5
to 1.0 and a consolidated interest coverage ratio of at least
3.5
to 1.0 based upon the ratio of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense as determined pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
