Outlook: Scholastic expects fiscal 2025 revenue growth of 4% to 6% and is targeting Adjusted EBITDA of $140 to $150 million, reflecting the partial-year contribution of 9 Story Media Group, partially offset by continuing spending on key growth initiatives and the impact of ongoing pressure on consumer and school spending. In its fiscal first quarter, the company expects a seasonal loss approximately in line with the prior year.
