Covista Inc. (NYSE: CVSA), the largest healthcare educator in the United States, today reported third quarter fiscal year 2026 results (ended Mar. 31, 2026).

We are raising guidance because execution is translating into results. The need is urgent, our role is clear, and the opportunity ahead is significant.”

Walden revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 was impacted by a shift of one academic week from the third quarter to the second quarter, which resulted in $18.0 million of revenue being recognized during the second quarter of fiscal year 2026. Including the $18.0 million revenue timing impact in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, Walden segment revenue would have increased 14.7%, or $26.2 million, to $204.6 million and consolidated revenue would have increased 8.4%, or $39.0 million, to $505.0 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Covista’s ongoing operations as seen through the eyes of management and are useful for period-over-period comparisons. We use these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally in our assessment of performance and budgeting process. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following are non-GAAP financial measures used in the subsequent GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables:

Adjusted net income (most comparable GAAP measure: net income) – Measure of Covista’s net income adjusted for restructuring expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, strategic advisory costs, loss on debt extinguishment, litigation reserve, asset impairments, debt modification costs, and loss (income) from discontinued operations.

Adjusted earnings per share (most comparable GAAP measure: diluted earnings per share) – Measure of Covista’s diluted earnings per share adjusted for restructuring expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, strategic advisory costs, loss on debt extinguishment, litigation reserve, asset impairments, debt modification costs, and loss (income) from discontinued operations.

Adjusted operating income (most comparable GAAP measure: operating income) – Measure of Covista’s operating income adjusted for restructuring expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation reserve, asset impairments, strategic advisory costs, and debt modification costs.

Adjusted EBITDA (most comparable GAAP measure: net income) – Measure of Covista’s net income adjusted for loss (income) from discontinued operations, interest expense, other income, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of cloud computing implementation assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring expense, litigation reserve, asset impairments, strategic advisory costs, and debt modification costs. Provision for income taxes, interest expense, and other income, net are not recorded at the reportable segments, and therefore, the segment adjusted EBITDA reconciliations begin with adjusted operating income.

Free cash flow (most comparable GAAP measure: net cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations) – Defined as net cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations less capital expenditures.

Net debt – Defined as long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.

Net leverage – Defined as net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA.

A description of special items in our non-GAAP financial measures described above are as follows:

• Restructuring expense primarily related to workforce reductions, costs to exit certain course offerings, and prior real estate consolidations at Covista’s home office. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our restructuring expense.

• Amortization of acquired intangible assets.

• Amortization of cloud computing implementation assets.

• Strategic advisory costs related to expanding capabilities and bringing new capacities to market to further enhance our strategic position. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our strategic advisory costs.

• Reserves related to significant litigation.

• Loss on debt extinguishment related to amendments and repayments of our Senior Secured Notes due 2028, Term Loan B, and Revolver.

• Asset impairments related to adjusting certain operating lease assets and property and equipment as a result of adjusting carrying values to fair values.

• Debt modification costs related to refinancing our Term Loan B.

• Loss (income) from discontinued operations includes activity from ongoing litigation costs and settlements related to divestitures and the earn-outs we received.
