(1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
Skillsoft Corp. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Skillsoft”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a global leader in skills management for the human + artificial intelligence (“AI”) era. The AI-native Skillsoft platform gives a clear view of workforce capability, closes critical skill gaps, and proves the impact of skills on business outcomes. With Skillsoft, organizations can build AI-ready teams, lower the cost and time of workforce development, and reduce execution risk as work continues to change. Our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”), has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “SKIL” since June 14, 2021. Skillsoft previously had two operating and reportable segments: Talent Development Solutions (“TDS”) and Global Knowledge (“GK”). On April 30, 2026, we committed to a plan to sell the business of our GK segment, and determined that such business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and as discontinued operations. As a result, our TDS is our only remaining operating and reportable segment. Accordingly, the historical results of our former GK segment are presented as discontinued operations, and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented herein. See Note 3 “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” for additional information.
References in the accompanying footnotes to Skillsoft’s fiscal year refer to the fiscal year ended January 31 of that year (e.g., fiscal 2026 is the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026).
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Financial Statement Preparation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the "Interim Financial Statements") include the accounts of Skillsoft Corp. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Any subsidiaries that are formed or acquired during the year are consolidated from their respective dates of formation or acquisition. We prepared the Interim Financial Statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim reporting, and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information or footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Interim Financial Statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly present our financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for any other interim period or a full fiscal year. The Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto (“2026 AFS”) included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2026 (“2026 Form 10-K”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures with respect to contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of such financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We base our judgments, estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The economic environment also impacts certain estimates and discount rates necessary to prepare our consolidated financial statements, including significant estimates and discount rates applicable to the determination of the fair values used in the impairment testing of our nonfinancial assets. Our assessment of these factors forms the basis for our judgments on the carrying values of our assets and liabilities, and the accrual of our costs and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates. We review our estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis and make revisions as determined necessary by management. Revisions are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and may also impact subsequent periods.
