Prepared Remarks - Dan Rosensweig, CEO & Executive Chairman Chegg, Inc.
Thank you, Tracey, and thanks everyone for joining Chegg’s third quarter 2026 earnings call. Over the last year our focus was rearchitecting our cost structure, accumulating cash, eliminating our debt, and positioning Chegg to return to growth. I am happy to report that the balance sheet reset is complete. In Q3, we had revenue of $46.5 million, adjusted EBITDA of $5.4 million, and ended the quarter with $43.6 million in cash and no debt. Core to our reinvention, we have repositioned Chegg from being a homework help company to an employability company, focused on helping students find internships, assess and learn relevant job skills and find full-time employment. Our mission is simple; to help people get the jobs they want and build the careers they deserve. David will take you through the financials in more detail, but I want to walk you through what we are building.
Higher education is going through a dramatic transformation, but one thing that will never change is that students go to college to get a job. Economic uncertainty and anxiety around AI have made the path to a first job even more daunting for students, and the need for what we are building even more urgent. In September, we launched our new employability platform on Internships.com - a comprehensive experience that gives students personalized job matching, resume tailoring, one-click apply, interview prep, skills assessment, and curated network connections, all in one place. We are rapidly expanding the platform’s capabilities and will soon be adding 70,000 early career listings as we move beyond internships into entry-level roles. Since launch, we have had over 100,000 visitors to the site, a clear signal that employability is top of mind for students and their families. We recently rolled out our first marketing campaign for Internships.com, both as a standalone product and bundled with Chegg, and the early results are encouraging.
At the same time, we are seeing our first institutional momentum. Since September, we have signed pilot programs with College of Charleston, Salem College, and Radford University, and we have several more schools set to sign in the coming weeks. The reason is straightforward, as institutions, colleges, and universities increasingly know that their own success is measured by whether their graduates get jobs. We are in active conversations with a meaningful number of schools, and we believe this B2I channel is just getting started. Every time Chegg has evolved to serve students’ most critical needs, it has entered a new growth chapter. This is that moment. We will continue to expand our offering through 2027 and beyond, but the foundation is live and the momentum is real.
As we expand how we serve students on the path from learning to earning, we continue to invest in our skills platform which, thanks to AI, we are able to develop and launch more programs and more capabilities, rapidly, for more partners at a much lower cost. Our multi-channel approach continues to build, and we believe we are on a path to consistent growth in that business. We have signed 11 new distribution partners since the start of the year, including our recent announcement of Power Train. In Q3, we made significant product enhancements to how we build and deliver skills programs for our B2B clients. We can now scale tailored learning programs directly from a company’s own systems, documents, and objectives, grounded in our proven instructional design methodology. And critically, we measure actual demonstrated proficiency. That is what enterprise buyers need, and what sets us apart.
And I am genuinely excited that our language learning product, in both our B2B and B2C channels, is returning to growth. The new capabilities we have added create a better, more powerful experience for learners that combines language courses with workplace skills content, delivered through adaptive AI, expert human coaching and real-world practice. Learners build both the language and the communication skills they need to perform in the moments that matter most. In Q3, our workplace skills content went live for English-speaking premium subscribers and is now expanding to Spanish, French, German and Italian. The goal is a performance platform designed around real-life outcomes, not lesson completions.
The last year has been both complicated and exhilarating. Complicated because AI hit our business hard, and we had to reinvent the company, financially, structurally, and across our product offerings. And exhilarating because we see all of the opportunities ahead of us. We have been operating knowing that our traditional academic services business would wind down over time, and while it did, we would generate significant cash. That continues to play out as we anticipated, and that cash has allowed us to pay down our debt and invest in the future of the company. As I said at the top of the call, we are on our way to being a very different company, focused on employability, and as we look ahead, we will be strategic and targeted in how we think about growth across the company, with both organic and inorganic opportunities. We are reviewing companies with strong IP and customer bases that could benefit from our new employability platform to help them grow faster at much lower costs. We will be judicious, but the pipeline is real. With a clean balance sheet, a market opportunity that is only getting bigger, and the positive signals we are seeing in our most recent product launch on Internships.com, we are excited about what is ahead and I look forward to updating you on our progress next quarter.
With that, I’ll turn it over to David.
Prepared Remarks - David Longo, CFO Chegg, Inc.
Thank you, Dan and good morning.
Today, I will review our financial performance for the third quarter of 2026, along with the company’s outlook for the fourth quarter.
We delivered a strong third quarter, exceeding our expectations while making meaningful progress in reshaping our business and balance sheet, executing our strategic priorities, and delivering free cash flow. Over the past year, we have significantly reduced our cost structure, repaid our remaining convertible debt, and established a stronger financial foundation that expands our ability to invest in future growth. We are now focused on building our employability business, helping learners develop workforce-ready skills while enabling employers to build and maintain a more skilled workforce. We believe this represents an attractive opportunity to create long-term value. As we execute our strategy, we remain focused on identifying additional cost savings, improving operational performance, and leveraging AI across the business.
In the quarter, Total Revenue was $46.5 million, exceeding our expectations. Our legacy homework-help business continued to decline as expected, while we focused investment on the areas we believe offer the greatest long-term opportunity. We entered into new skilling distribution partnerships, enhanced our language offering, and continued to build our employability platform, which we expect to contribute more meaningfully in 2027.
Turning to expenses, Q3 non-GAAP operating expenses were $31.2 million, down 36% year-over-year. This reduction reflects the impact of our cost management initiatives and the use of AI to streamline operations and improve productivity across the organization. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $5.4 million, representing a margin of 12%.
Third quarter CapEx was $1.7 million, down 71% year-over-year. For full year 2026, we are targeting a greater than 60% reduction in CapEx.
Free cash flow in the quarter was $5.5 million, reflecting our continued focus on cash generation and disciplined financial management.
Looking at the balance sheet, we ended the quarter with $43.6 million in cash and investments and fully repaid our remaining convertible debt. Eliminating our debt was a key objective for 2026 and marks an important milestone in strengthening our balance sheet.
Moving to guidance. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we expect:
- Total revenue between $38 and $40 million;
- Gross margin in the range of 46% to 48%;
- And adjusted EBITDA of approximately $1 million
With our debt eliminated, our capital allocation strategy remains focused on generating free cash flow, maintaining a strong balance sheet, and thoughtfully deploying capital to create long-term shareholder value.
In closing, we have made significant progress repositioning Chegg for its next phase. We have strengthened both the business and the balance sheet, creating a more focused, efficient, and financially flexible organization as we continue to build our employability platform. We believe we are well positioned to create long-term value through disciplined execution and thoughtful investment in future growth opportunities.
With that, I will turn the call over to the operator for your questions.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement Chegg’s financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), this press release and the accompanying tables and the related earnings conference call contain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP cost of revenues, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP loss from operations, non-GAAP net (loss) income, non-GAAP weighted average shares, non-GAAP net (loss) income per share, and free cash flow. For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, please see the section of the accompanying tables titled, “Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA,” “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow,” and “Reconciliation of Forward-Looking Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.”
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Chegg defines (1) EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; (2) Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for share-based compensation expense, gain on lease termination, litigation settlement (credits) charges, other income, net, restructuring (credits) charges, impairment of equity investment, impairment of lease related assets, and impairment expense; (3) non-GAAP cost of revenues as cost of revenues excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and restructuring (charges) credits; (4) non-GAAP gross profit as gross profit excluding amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, and restructuring charges (credits); (5) non-GAAP gross margin is defined as non-GAAP gross profit divided by net revenues, (6) non-GAAP operating expenses as operating expenses excluding share-based compensation expense, gain on lease termination, litigation settlement credits (charges), restructuring credits (charges), impairment of equity investment, impairment of lease related assets, and impairment expense; (7) non-GAAP loss from operations as loss from operations excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, gain on lease termination, litigation settlement (credits) charges, restructuring (credits) charges, impairment of equity investment, impairment of lease related assets, and impairment expense; (8) non-GAAP net (loss) income as net loss excluding share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments, amortization of debt issuance costs, gain on lease termination, litigation settlement (credits) charges, restructuring (credits) charges, gain on early extinguishment of debt, impairment of equity investment, impairment of lease related assets, and impairment expense; (9) non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding as weighted average shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of shares for stock plan activity and shares related to our convertible senior notes, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding; (10) non-GAAP net (loss) income per share is defined as non-GAAP net (loss) income divided by non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding; and (11) free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment. To the extent additional significant non-recurring items arise in the future, Chegg may consider whether to exclude such items in calculating the non-GAAP financial measures it uses.
Chegg believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding Chegg’s performance by excluding items that may not be indicative of Chegg’s core business, operating results or future outlook. Chegg management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing Chegg’s operating results, as well as when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods and believes that such measures enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons of Chegg’s performance to prior periods.
As presented in the “Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA,” “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” “Reconciliation of Forward-Looking Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA,” and “Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow,” tables below, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes or includes one or more of the following items:
Share-based compensation expense.
Share-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond Chegg's control. As a result, management excludes this item from Chegg's internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted for share-based compensation expense provide investors with a basis to measure Chegg's core performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by share-based compensation as a result of the variety of equity awards used by other companies and the varying methodologies and assumptions used.
Amortization of intangible assets.
Chegg amortizes intangible assets, including those that contribute to generating revenues, that it acquires in conjunction with acquisitions, which results in non‑cash expenses that may not otherwise have been incurred. Chegg believes excluding the expense associated with intangible assets from non-GAAP measures allows for a more accurate assessment of its ongoing operations and provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results. No corresponding adjustments have been made related to revenues generated from acquired intangible assets.
Amortization of debt issuance costs.
The difference between the effective interest expense and the contractual interest expense are excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash expenses are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Chegg believes that the exclusion of the non-cash interest expense provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.
Income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments.
We utilize a non-GAAP effective tax rate for evaluating our operating results, which is based on our current mid-term projections. This non-GAAP tax rate could change for various reasons including, but not limited to, significant changes resulting from tax legislation, changes to our corporate structure and other significant events. Chegg believes that the inclusion of the income tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.
Restructuring (credits) charges.
Restructuring (credits) charges represent expenses incurred in conjunction with a reduction in workforce. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude them from non-GAAP financial measures because they are nonrecurring and the result of an event that is not considered a core-operating activity. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the restructuring charges from non-GAAP financial measures because it provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.
Impairment expense.
Impairment expense represents the impairment of property and equipment. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude it from non-GAAP financial measures because it is the result of discrete events that are not considered core-operating activities and are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Chegg believes that it is appropriate to exclude the impairment expense from non-GAAP financial measures because it provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.
Impairment of lease related assets.
The impairment of lease related assets represents an impairment charge recorded on the ROU asset and leasehold improvements associated with the closure of our offices. The impairment of lease related assets is the result of an event that is not considered a core-operating activity and we believe its exclusion provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.
Litigation settlement (credits) charges.
Litigation settlement (credits) charges represent discrete events that are not considered core-operating activities, and as such, are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because it provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.
Impairment of equity investment.
The impairment of equity investment represents a one-time event to record an impairment charge on our equity investment. The impairment of equity investment is a non-cash expense and we believe the exclusion from non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period results.
Gain on early extinguishment of debt.
The difference between the carrying amount of early extinguished debt and the reacquisition price is excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash gains are not indicative of ongoing operating performance. Chegg believes that the exclusion of the gain on early extinguishment of debt provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.
Gain on lease termination.
The gain on lease termination represents a gain from fully terminating an office lease agreement that relieved us from all future obligations. We excluded from management's assessment of our operating performance because management believes that these non-cash gains are not indicative of ongoing operating performance and its exclusion provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results.
Effect of shares for stock plan activity.
The effect of shares for stock plan activity represents the dilutive impact of outstanding stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding.
Effect of shares related to convertible senior notes.
The effect of shares related to convertible senior notes represents the dilutive impact of our convertible senior notes, to the extent such shares are not already included in our weighted average shares outstanding.
Free cash flow.
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities adjusted for purchases of property and equipment. Chegg considers free cash flow to be a liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after the purchases of property and equipment, which can then be used to, among other things, invest in Chegg's business and make strategic acquisitions. A limitation of the utility of free cash flow as a measure of financial performance is that it does not represent the total increase or decrease in Chegg's cash balance for the period.
