Press Release: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Reports Significant Revenue Growth in Q2 Earnings Report
Second Quarter 2014 Unaudited Financial Results
Net Sales: HMH reported total net sales of $402 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, $39 million or 11% higher than the $363 million reported in second quarter of 2013. This increase was driven by a 13%, or $41 million, year-over-year rise in the Company's Education sales to $365 million from $324 million, as domestic education basal sales grew $47 million on increased adoptions primarily in Texas, and to a lesser extent, California and Florida. Deferred revenue increased $114 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from March 31, 2014, primarily due to higher digital components and print workbooks associated with the increased adoption sales. Additionally, assessment sales increased by $5 million following the launch of a new edition of the Woodcock Johnson product. This growth was slightly offset by $6 million and $5 million declines in professional services and international sales, respectively.
