The jump in **total assets** in Q4 2024 was primarily driven by a significant **increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents** (rising by **$10,433 thousand** from FY 2023 to FY 2024), a growth in **Accounts Receivable** (an increase of **$4,067 thousand**), and an uptick in **Other Long-Term Assets** (up by **$5,223 thousand**). These increases were partly offset by depreciation in **Property and Equipment** and **Intangible Assets**, but the net effect was an overall rise in total assets for the period.  **[0000886206-24-000058_fc-20241106xex99_1.htm:7]** **[0000886206-24-000060_fc-20240831x10k.htm:67]** **[FC_3406220_4]** 

Why did Total assets jump in Q4 2024?

The **total liabilities spiked in Q4 2024** primarily because key liability components increased significantly. **Deferred subscription revenue** jumped from **$95,386 thousand to $101,218 thousand**, marking a rise of **$5,832 thousand** due to higher subscription sales yet to be recognized. In addition, **customer deposits** increased by **$4,835 thousand** (from **$12,137 thousand to $16,972 thousand**), and **accrued liabilities** grew by **$4,202 thousand** (from **$28,252 thousand to $32,454 thousand**). **Other liabilities** also rose by **$3,115 thousand** (from **$7,617 thousand to $10,732 thousand**). Although there were reductions in **notes payable** and **financing obligations**, these decreases did not offset the substantial increases in the other areas, leading to the overall spike to **$178,404 thousand** in Q4 2024.  **[0000886206-24-000058_fc-20241106xex99_1.htm:7]** **[0000886206-24-000060_fc-20240831x10k.htm:67]** 

Why did Total liabilities spike in Q4 2024?

The **current portion of notes payable** dropped dramatically in Q4 2024 because the company fully repaid the term loan payable under the **2023 Credit Agreement** in June 2024, which significantly reduced its obligations. The remaining balance pertains solely to the **Strive acquisition note payable**, requiring annual payments of **$0.8 million** for five years, reflecting a strategic shift in the company’s financial obligations.  **[0000886206-24-000060_fc-20240831x10k.htm:83]** **[0000886206-24-000058_fc-20241106xex99_1.htm:7]** **[0000886206-24-000060_fc-20240831x10k.htm:67]** 

Why did the current portion of notes payable drop dramatically in Q4 2024?

The **cash and cash equivalents** increased in Q1 2025 by **$4,631 thousand** because the company generated **$14,145 thousand** in cash from operating activities, which more than offset the cash outflows from investing activities (**$(2,754) thousand**) and financing activities (**$(6,579) thousand**), along with a minor negative impact from foreign currency changes (**$(181) thousand**).  **[0000886206-25-000004_fc-20241130x10q.htm:1]** **[0000886206-25-000002_fc-20250108xex99_1.htm:7]**

The documents indicate that **Income from Operations was $1.4 million in Q2 2024**, which is down from **$2.8 million in Q2 2023**.  **[0000886206-24-000024_fc-20240327xex99_1.htm:5]** **[0000886206-24-000028_fc-20240229x10q.htm:17]**  However, the documents do not provide specific reasons for this decline. They do note that **net income** and **Adjusted EBITDA** also fell during the same period—with net income dropping from **$1.7 million** to **$0.9 million** and Adjusted EBITDA declining from **$8.2 million** to **$7.4 million**—suggesting that overall financial performance was affected by changes in factors such as revenue and expenses, though the exact causes are not detailed.  **[0000886206-24-000024_fc-20240327xex99_1.htm:5]** **[0000886206-24-000028_fc-20240229x10q.htm:17]** 

Why was Income from Operations so low in Q2 2024?

Franklin Covey’s Q2 2024 drop in net income was driven primarily by **lower operating income** and changes in its **income tax provision**. **Operating income** fell from **$2.8 million in Q2 2023** to **$1.4 million in Q2 2024** due to a slower-than-expected rebound in services sales and longer decision-making cycles by clients, which greatly affected overall performance.  **[0000886206-24-000024_fc-20240327xex99_1.htm:5]** **[0000886206-24-000028_fc-20240229x10q.htm:17]**  Additionally, while the **income tax provision** declined from **$1.0 million** to **$0.5 million**, the **effective tax rate** in Q2 2024 actually increased from **37.5%** to **38.2%** due to non-deductible executive compensation and additional taxes on foreign earnings, further impacting net income.  **[0000886206-24-000024_fc-20240327xex99_1.htm:5]** **[0000886206-24-000028_fc-20240229x10q.htm:17]** 

What factors contributed to the drop in Net Income in Q2 2024?

The strong revenue performance in Q4 2024 was driven by several key factors. **Franklin Covey experienced robust growth in its Enterprise division**, which accounts for **73% of overall revenue** and grew by **8%** in the quarter – notably with North America Enterprise revenue increasing by **17%**.  **[FC_3406220_3]**  **Subscription and services revenues also rose**, with North America subscription revenue growing **3%** and the combination of subscription and subscription services revenue increasing **4%**.  **[FC_3406220_3]**  Additionally, there was strong momentum in deferred revenue, which increased by **9%**, indicating healthy future bookings.  **[FC_3406220_3]**  A **rebound in services revenue** further contributed to the overall growth, while the Education division remained stable at **$24.1 million** due to multiyear deals and grants.  **[FC_3406220_15]** **[FC_3406220_16]** 

What drove the strong revenue performance in Q4 2024?

The significant decline in net income in Q1 2025 is primarily attributed to **substantial growth investments** of **$16 million** impacting short-term profitability, **restructuring costs** of **$2.0 million** related to severance expenses for about 35 associates, a drop in **adjusted EBITDA** (from **$11 million** to **$7.7 million**), and revenue growth constraints in key segments such as the Enterprise Division due to challenging market conditions.  **[FC_3412222_6]** **[0000886206-25-000004_fc-20241130x10q.htm:7]** **[FC_3412222_5]**
