Skillsoft Q2 Earnings: Debt Reduction Hampered By Growth Challenges

Summary Skillsoft's revenue for Q2 came in lighter than expected, while margins remained solid due to cost discipline and AI-driven efficiencies. Full year growth expectations have been toned down, while Adjusted EBITDA and FCF guidance was maintained. FCF of $15.5 million is expected for FY 2026 at the midpoint, weighed down by nearly $60 million in annual interest expenses. The lack of growth is likely to prolong the deleveraging process, with net debt standing at $478 million at the end of the quarter. I am maintaining my Hold rating on SKIL stock.

Skillsoft: Still Low Visibility For A Rebound

Summary Skillsoft, an education technology company, is undergoing a transformation with a focus on Talent Development, which comprises 70% of its business. Despite a 111% share price increase over the past year, SKIL remains a high-risk investment due to the weak fundamentals and limited growth visibility into FY 2025 and FY 2026. SKIL's liquidity and operating cash flow have declined, and the company faces significant debt, making its financial position precarious. I assign SKIL stock a neutral rating with a price target of $26.7, projecting a 9.3% upside but advising investors to stay cautious, due to the very high risk. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Skillsoft Q3: A Turnaround Showing Signs Of Progress

Summary The market has reacted favorably to the Q3 results, with Skillsoft Corp. shares up 25% since then. While total revenue was down slightly versus last year, margins were helped by the cost savings program. Despite strong FCF during the quarter and the cheap valuation, the heavy debt load remains a concern. I retain my Hold rating until I see a clearer path for the business to return to organic growth.
