Skillsoft Reports Improved Q1 Net Loss, Reaffirms FY27 Guidance Amid Strategic Shift
Summary
Skillsoft reported a 37% improvement in its Q1 FY27 net loss to $18.7 million, despite a 5% revenue decline to $94.5 million. The company reaffirmed its full fiscal year 2027 guidance, with adjusted EBITDA remaining flat at $27 million but margins improving. This follows a period of significant financial distress and a recent agreement to divest its Global Knowledge business to focus on its AI-native skills management platform. The core platform showed strong operational progress with new customer growth of 67% quarter-over-quarter and a Dollar Retention Rate of 105%. These results indicate early signs of progress in the company's strategic turnaround.
