We have some of the best-known solutions in the industry, including a suite of individual-effectiveness and leadership-development training and products based on the best-selling books, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The Speed of Trust, The Leader In Me, and The Four Disciplines of Execution, and proprietary content in the areas of Leadership, Execution, Productivity, Sales Performance, and Educational improvement. Our solutions and offerings are described in further detail at www.franklincovey.com and elsewhere in this report. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the dates and for the periods indicated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the quarter and three quarters ended May 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the entire fiscal year ending August 31, 2026, or for any future periods.

Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain expenses in our fiscal 2025 condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Expenses related to the movement of our corporate headquarters incurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, which totaled $0.4 million, and for the three quarters ended May 31, 2025, which totaled $0.5 million, were reclassified from selling, general, and administrative expense to building exit costs.
Accounting Pronouncement Issued And Not Adopted	Accounting Pronouncement Issued Not Yet Adopted On December 14, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 provides guidance to enhance transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the effective income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. This new guidance also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. We are currently assessing the anticipated impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements. The amendments are effective for our annual periods beginning September 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires a public entity to disclose certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization on an annual and interim basis. The guidance in ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The provisions within the update may be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the financial statements. While we are still evaluating the specific impacts and adoption method, we anticipate this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures. On September 18, 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. This ASU makes targeted improvements to the accounting for software costs. ASU 2025-06 also supersedes the guidance for website development costs along with the recognition requirements for development costs specific to websites. This guidance is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in an interim or annual reporting period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the ASU to determine its impact on our financial statements.
