GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Graham Holdings Company (the Company), is a diversified education and media company. The Company’s Kaplan subsidiary provides a wide variety of educational services, both domestically and outside the United States. The Company’s media operations comprise the ownership and operation of five television broadcasting stations. The Company's other business operations include home health and hospice services and manufacturing.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: (i) generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information; (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q; and (iii) the guidance of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They include the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, including its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. As permitted under such rules, certain notes and other financial information normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented herein. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 may not be indicative of the Company’s future results. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes the reclassification of the results of operations of certain businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Out of Period Adjustment – In the second quarter of 2016, the Company benefited from a favorable $5.6 million out of period adjustment to the provision for deferred income taxes related to the $248.6 million goodwill impairment at the KHE reporting unit in the third quarter of 2015.  With respect to this error, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for 2016 and 2015 and the related interim periods, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported herein. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued comprehensive new guidance that supersedes all existing revenue recognition guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidance that defers the effective date by one year. The new guidance requires revenue to be recognized when the Company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also significantly expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new guidance with a restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new guidance with disclosure of results under the old guidance. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and believes such evaluation will extend over several future periods because of the significance of the changes to the Company’s policies and business processes.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have an impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

5

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the gross amount of debt instead of classified as a deferred asset. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted the new guidance retrospectively as of January 1, 2016. Therefore, prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this guidance which resulted in the reclassification of $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Company's 7.25% unsecured notes from deferred charges and other assets to long-term debt within its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that substantially revises the recognition, measurement and presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities. The new guidance, among other things, requires, (i) equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, with some exceptions, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (iv) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements, and (v) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that requires, among other things, a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset representing an entity's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a liability for lease payments on its balance sheet, regardless of classification of a lease as operating or financing. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and account for the lease similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. This new guidance supersedes all prior guidance. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation. The new guidance (i) requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recognized in the income statement with the tax effects of vested or exercised awards treated as discrete items. Additionally, excess tax benefits will be recognized regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period, effectively eliminating the APIC pool, (ii) concludes excess tax benefits should be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows, (iii) requires an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate a forfeiture rate for awards or account for forfeitures as they occur, (iv) changes the threshold for equity classification for cash settlements of awards for withholding requirements to the maximum statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction and (v) concludes cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Cable ONE Spin-Off. On July 1, 2015 (the “Distribution Date”), the Company completed the spin-off of Cable One, Inc. (Cable ONE) as an independent, publicly traded company. The transaction was structured as a tax-free spin-off of Cable ONE to the stockholders of the Company as one share of Cable ONE common stock was distributed for every share of Class A and Class B common stock of Graham Holdings outstanding on the June 15, 2015, record date. Cable ONE is now an independent public company trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CABO”. After the spin, the Company does not beneficially own any shares of Cable ONE common stock.

The results of operations of Cable ONE are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for 2015. The Company did not reclassify its Statements of Cash Flows to reflect the various discontinued operations.

6

Cash flows from Cable ONE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are combined with the cash flows from operations within each of the categories presented. Cash flows from Cable ONE are as follows:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	76,917		$	116,133

Other Discontinued Operations. In the third quarter of 2014, Kaplan completed the sale of three of its schools in China that were previously included as part of Kaplan International. An additional school in China was sold by Kaplan in January of 2015 that resulted in a pre-tax loss of $0.7 million. The results of operations of the schools in China are included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as income from discontinued operations, net of tax, for 2015.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF BUSINESSES

Acquisitions.  In May 2016, Graham Media Group entered into an agreement to acquire two television stations for$60 million in cash and the assumption of certain pension obligations. The acquisition is subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission, other regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of closing conditions.

In the first six months of 2016, the Company acquired three businesses included in its education division totaling $208.7 million. In January and February 2016, Kaplan acquired a 100% interest in Mander Portman Woodward, a leading provider of high-quality, bespoke education to UK and international students in London, Cambridge and Birmingham; and a 100% interest in Osborne Books, an educational publisher of learning resources for accounting qualifications in the UK.These acquisitions are included in Kaplan International. In the first six months of 2015, the Company did not make any acquisitions.

Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and were not significant. The aggregate purchase price of these 2016 acquisitions was allocated as follows on a preliminary basis:

	Weighted Average Life	Purchase Price Allocation
(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents		$	8,370
Accounts receivable		6,065
Other current assets		748
Property, plant and equipment		1,940
Goodwill		161,399
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
Trade names and trademarks		53,110
Amortized intangible assets
Student and customer relationships	3 years	5,174
Trade names and trademarks	5 years	1,347
	3 years	6,521
Current liabilities		(18,353		)
Noncurrent liabilities		(11,094		)
		$	208,706

The fair values recorded were based upon preliminary valuations and the estimates and assumptions used in such valuations are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The recording of deferred tax assets or liabilities, and the final amount of residual goodwill are not yet finalized. The Company expects no tax basis of goodwill for income tax purposes from these three acquisitions.

The acquired companies were consolidated into the Company’s financial statements starting on their respective acquisition dates. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include aggregate revenues and operating income for the companies acquired in 2016 of $13.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2016 and $25.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively, for the first six months of 2016. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company’s results as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 2015. The unaudited pro forma information also includes the 2015 acquisitions as if they occurred at the beginning of 2014:

	Three Months Ended   June 30				Six Months Ended   June 30
(in thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Operating revenues	$	628,933	$	740,593	$	1,230,852	$	1,440,903
Net income	62,133		65,341		102,225		90,915

These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable. They are not the results that would have been realized had these entities been part of the Company during the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations in future periods.

On November 13, 2015, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Group Dekko, a Garrett, IN-based manufacturer of electrical solutions for applications across threebusiness lines: workspace power solutions, architectural lighting, and electrical components and assemblies, which is included in other businesses. On December 22, 2015, Kaplan acquired a 100% interest in SmartPros, a provider of accredited professional education and training, primarily in accountancy, which is included in Higher Education.

Spin-Off. On July 1, 2015, the Company completed the spin-off of Cable ONE, by way of a distribution of all the issued and outstanding shares of Cable ONE common stock, on a pro rata basis, to the Company's stockholders (see Note 2).

Sale of Businesses. In January 2016, Kaplan completed the sale of Colloquy, which was included in Kaplan Corporate and Other.

On September 3, 2015, Kaplan completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its KHE Campuses business, consisting of 38 nationally accredited ground campuses and certain related assets, in exchange for a preferred equity interest in Education Corporation of America (ECA). KHE Campuses schools that were closed or were in the process of closing were not included in the sale transaction. In connection with the sale agreement, if required by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) in connection with its post-closing review of the transaction, Kaplan will provide a letter of credit or other credit support with the ED of up to approximately $45 million; any such letter of credit or other credit support could be drawn by the ED in the event that ECA defaults on its obligations to students. If issued, such letter of credit or other credit support would have a term of two years, after which Kaplan would haveno further obligations.

The revenue and operating losses related to schools that were sold as part of the ECA transaction are as follows:

	Three Months Ended   June 30, 2015			Six Months Ended   June 30, 2015
(in thousands)
Revenue	$	63,036		$	124,123
Operating loss	(4,287		)	(7,301		)

In the second quarter of 2015, Kaplan also recorded a $6.9 million long-lived assets impairment charge in connection with the KHE Campuses business, of which $4.7 million was an unfavorable out of period expense adjustment related to the first quarter of 2015 (this amount is included in the above table). With respect to this error, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the first or second quarter of 2015, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.

In the third quarter of 2015, Kaplan sold Franklyn Scholar, which was part of Kaplan International. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold The Root, a component of Slate, and Kaplan sold two small businesses, Structuralia, which was part of Kaplan International, and Fire and EMS Training, which was part of Kaplan Higher Education. As a result of these sales, the Company reported gains in other non-operating income (see Note 10). In the third quarter of 2014, Kaplan completed the sale of three of its schools in China that were previously included as part of Kaplan International. In January 2015, Kaplan completed the sale of an additional school in China.

Other.In June 2016, Residential and a Michigan hospital formed a joint venture to provide home health services to patients in western Michigan. In connection with this transaction, Residential contributed its western Michigan home health operations to the joint venture and then sold 60% of the newly formed venture to its Michigan hospital partner. Although Residential manages the operations of the joint venture, Residential holds a 40% interest in the joint venture, so the operating results of the joint venture are not consolidated and the pro rata operating results are included in the Company's equity in earnings of affiliates.

In June 2016, the Company purchased the outstanding 20% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Residential. At that time, the Company recorded an increase to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $3.4 million, with a corresponding decrease to capital in excess of par value, to reflect the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest at $24.0 million. Following this transaction, Celtic and Residential combined their business operations to form Graham Healthcare Group (GHG). The redeemable noncontrolling interest shareholders in Celtic exchanged their 20% interest in Celtic for a 10% mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest in the combined entity and the Company recorded a $4.1 million net increase to the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest to reflect the estimated fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest. The minority shareholders have an option to put their shares to the Company starting in 2020, and are required to put a percentage of their shares in 2022 and 2024, with the remaining shares required to be put by the minority shareholders in 2026. The redemption value is based on an EBITDA multiple, adjusted for working capital and other items, computed annually, with no limit on the amount payable. The Company now owns 90% of GHG. Because the noncontrolling interest is now mandatorily redeemable by the Company by 2026, it is reported as a noncurrent liability at June 30, 2016.

In January 2015, Celtic and AHN closed on the formation of a joint venture to combine each other’s home health and hospice assets in the western Pennsylvania region. Although Celtic manages the operations of the joint venture, Celtic holds a 40% interest in the joint venture, so the operating results of the joint venture are not consolidated and the pro rata operating results are included in the Company’s equity in earnings of affiliates.

The Company’s income from continuing operations excludes Cable ONE and the sold Kaplan China school, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax (see Note 2).

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $6.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $12.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively. Amortization of intangible assets is estimated to be approximately $12 million for the remainder of 2016, $21 million in 2017, $19 million in 2018, $17 million in 2019, $15 million in 2020 and $17 million thereafter.

6. DEBT

The Company’s borrowings consist of the following:

	As of
	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
(in thousands)
7.25% unsecured notes due February 1, 2019 (1)	$	398,824	$	398,596
Other indebtedness	1,204		1,204
Total Debt	$	400,028	$	399,800

____________

(1) The carrying value is net of $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company’s other indebtedness at June 30, 2016 is at an interest rate of 6% and matures in 2019.

On June 29, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) providing for a U.S. $200 million five-year revolving credit facility (the Facility). The Company may draw on the Facility for general corporate purposes. The Facility will expire on July 1, 2020, unless the Company and the banks agree to extend the term. The Credit Agreement contains terms and conditions, including remedies in the event of a default by the Company, typical of facilities of this type. As of June 30, 2016, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants.

On July 14, 2016, Kaplan entered into a Facility Agreement (the Kaplan Credit Agreement) among Kaplan International Holdings Limited, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, HSBC BANK PLC as Facility Agent, and other agents party thereto. The Kaplan Credit Agreement provides for a four-year credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of £75 million. Borrowings will bear interest at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus an applicable interest rate margin between 1.25% and 1.75%, in each case determined on a quarterly basis by reference to a pricing grid based upon the Company's total leverage ratio. The credit facility requires that 6.66% of the outstanding aggregate amount of the loan be repaid on the first three anniversaries of funding, with the remaining balance due on July 1, 2020.

On July 25, 2016, Kaplan borrowed £75 million under the Kaplan Credit Agreement. On the same date, Kaplan entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a total notional value of £75 million and a maturity date of July 1, 2020. The interest rate swap agreement will pay Kaplan variable interest on the £75 million notional amount at the three-month LIBOR, and Kaplan will pay the counterparties a fixed rate of 0.51%, effectively resulting in a total fixed interest rate of 2.01% on the outstanding borrowings at the current applicable margin of 1.50%. The interest rate swap agreement was entered into to convert the variable rate British pound borrowing under the Kaplan Credit Agreement into a fixed rate borrowing. The Company provided a guarantee on any borrowings under the Kaplan Credit Agreement. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap agreement and the underlying borrowing, the interest rate swap agreement was determined to be effective, and thus qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As such, any changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap will be recorded in other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of approximately $400.0 million and $454.4 million, respectively, at average annual interest rates of approximately 7.2% and 6.8%, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net interest expense of $7.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of approximately $399.9 million and $450.2 million, respectively, at average annual interest rates of approximately 7.2% and 7.0%, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net interest expense of $14.6 million and $16.0 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s 7.25% unsecured notes, based on quoted market prices, totaled $437.5 million, compared with the carrying amount of $398.8 million. At December 31, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s 7.25% unsecured notes, based on quoted market prices, totaled $436.6 million, compared with the carrying amount of $398.6 million. The carrying value of the Company’s other unsecured debt at June 30, 2016 approximates fair value.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

	As of June 30, 2016

Liabilities
Deferred compensation plan liabilities (5)	$	—	$	48,055	$	48,055

____________

(1) The Company’s money market investments are included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

(2) The Company's commercial paper investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.

(3) The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.

(4) Includes U.S. Government Securities, corporate bonds, mutual funds and time deposits. These investments are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of the security or inputs that include quoted market prices for similar instruments and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

(5) Includes Graham Holdings Company's Deferred Compensation Plan and supplemental savings plan benefits under the Graham Holdings Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which are included in accrued compensation and related benefits. These plans measure the market value of a participant's balance in a notional investment account that is comprised primarily of mutual funds, which are based on observable market prices. However, since the deferred compensation obligations are not exchanged in an active market, they are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation are included in operating income.

(6) The fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is based on an EBITDA multiple, adjusted for working capital and other items, computed annually. 

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $6.9 million. The remeasurement of the long-lived asset is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed in the determination of the fair values.

8. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company's unvested restricted stock awards contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and, therefore, are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The diluted earnings per share computed under the two-class method is lower than the diluted earnings per share computed under the treasury stock method, resulting in the presentation of the lower amount in diluted earnings per share. The computation of the earnings per share under the two-class method excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted stock awards from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares from the denominator.

The following reflects the Company's income from continuing operations and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations using the two-class method:

Weighted average restricted stock	41	55	39	54

The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 exclude the effects of 102,000 stock options outstanding as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to a market condition. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 exclude the effects of 50,000 stock options outstanding as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to a market condition. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 exclude the effects of 6,100 restricted stock awards as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to a performance condition. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 exclude the effects of 5,850 restricted stock awards, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to a performance condition.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company declared dividends totaling $1.21 and $3.63, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company declared regular dividends totaling $2.65 and $7.95, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the net periodic cost for the Company's SERP, as reported above, includes costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, reported in discontinued operations.

Defined Benefit Plan Assets. The Company’s defined benefit pension obligations are funded by a portfolio made up of a U.S. stock index fund, a relatively small number of stocks and high-quality fixed-income securities that are held by a third-party trustee. The assets of the Company’s pension plan were allocated as follows:

	As of
	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
U.S. equities	74	%	62	%
U.S. fixed income	20	%	13	%
International equities	6	%	25	%
	100	%	100	%

Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, the Company started managing approximately 44% of the pension assets internally, of which the majority is invested in a U.S. stock index fund with the remaining investments in Berkshire Hathaway stock and short-term fixed income securities. The remaining 56% of plan assets are still managed by two investment companies. The goal for the investments is to produce moderate long-term growth in the value of these assets, while protecting them against large decreases in value. Both investment managers may invest in a combination of equity and fixed-income securities and cash. The managers are not permitted to invest in securities of the Company or in alternative investments. The investment managers cannot invest more than 20% of the assets at the time of purchase in the stock of Berkshire Hathaway or more than 10% of the assets in the securities of any other single issuer, except for obligations of the U.S. Government, without receiving prior approval from the Plan administrator. As of June 30, 2016, the investment managers can invest no more than 23% of the assets they manage in specified international exchanges, at the time the investment is made, and no less than 10% of the assets could be invested in fixed-income securities.

In determining the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. In addition, the Company may consult with and consider the input of financial and other professionals in developing appropriate return benchmarks.

The Company evaluated its defined benefit pension plan asset portfolio for the existence of significant concentrations (defined as greater than 10% of plan assets) of credit risk as of June 30, 2016. Types of concentrations that were evaluated include, but are not limited to, investment concentrations in a single entity, type of industry, foreign country and individual fund. At June 30, 2016, the pension plan held investments in one common stock and one U.S. stock index fund that exceeded 10% of total plan assets, valued at $894.0 million, or 45% of total plan assets. At December 31, 2015, the pension plan held common stock in two investments that exceeded

14

10% of total plan assets, valued at $562.6 million, or 25% of total plan assets. At December 31, 2015, the pension plan held investments in one foreign country that exceeded 10% of total plan assets, valued at $332.4 million, or 15% of total plan assets.

Other Postretirement Plans. The total cost arising from the Company’s other postretirement plans consists of the following components:

	Three Months Ended June 30						Six Months Ended June 30
(in thousands)	2016			2015			2016			2015
Service cost	$	347		$	333		$	693		$	666

Net Periodic Cost	$	194		$	283		$	389		$	566

10. OTHER NON-OPERATING INCOME

A summary of non-operating income (expense) is as follows:

	Three Months Ended   June 30					Six Months Ended   June 30
(in thousands)	2016			2015		2016			2015
Gain on sale of land	$	34,072		$	—	$	34,072		$	—
Foreign currency (loss) gain, net	(24,084		)	3,608		(29,527		)	(3,219		)
Gain on sales of businesses	—			2,918		18,931			2,918
Gain on sales of marketable equity securities (see Note 3)	4,502			—		6,256			—
Gain on formation of joint ventures	3,232			—		3,232			5,972
Additional gain on sale of Classified Ventures	—			4,827		—			4,827
Other, net	1,278			325		1,132			75
Total Other Non-Operating Income	$	19,000		$	11,678	$	34,096		$	10,573

In the second quarter of 2016, the Company sold the remaining portion of the Robinson Terminal real estate retained from the sale of the Publishing Subsidiaries, for a gain of $34.1 million.

In June 2016, Residential contributed assets to a joint venture entered into with a Michigan hospital in exchange for a 40% equity interest and other assets, resulting in a $3.2 million gain (see Note 4). The Company used an income and market approach to value the equity interest. The measurement of the equity interest in the joint venture is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed in the determination of the fair value.

In the first quarter of 2016, Kaplan sold Colloquy, which was a part of Kaplan corporate and other, for a gain of $18.9 million.

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold The Root and Kaplan sold two small businesses for a total gain of $2.9 million.

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company benefited from a $4.8 million favorable out of period adjustment to the gain on the sale of Classified Ventures related to the fourth quarter of 2014. With respect to this error, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations for 2015 and the related interim periods, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.

In January 2015, Celtic contributed assets to a joint venture entered into with AHN in exchange for a 40% equity interest, resulting in the Company recording a $6.0 million gain (see Note 4). The Company used an income and market approach to value the equity interest. The measurement of the equity interest in the joint venture is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed in the determination of the fair value.

12. CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Legal Matters.  The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcomes of the legal claims and proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management believes that there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Also, based on currently available information, management is of the opinion that the exposure to future material losses from existing legal proceedings is not reasonably possible, or that future material losses in excess of the amounts accrued are not reasonably possible.

Certain Kaplan subsidiaries are subject to two unsealed cases filed by former employees that include, among other allegations, claims under the False Claims Act relating to eligibility for Title IV funding. The U.S. Government declined to intervene in all cases, and, as previously reported, court decisions either dismissed the cases in their entirety or narrowed the scope of their allegations. The two cases are captioned: United States of America ex rel. Carlos Urquilla-Diaz et al. v. Kaplan University et al. (unsealed March 25, 2008) and United States of America ex rel. Charles Jajdelski v. Kaplan Higher Education Corp. et al. (unsealed January 6, 2009).

In August 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida issued a series of rulings in the Diaz case, which included three separate complaints: Diaz, Wilcox and Gillespie. The court dismissed the Wilcox complaint in its entirety; dismissed all False Claims Act allegations in the Diaz complaint, leaving only an individual employment claim; and dismissed in part the Gillespie complaint, thereby limiting the scope and time frame of its False Claims Act allegations regarding compliance with the U.S. Federal Rehabilitation Act. In October 2012, the court entered summary judgment in favor of the Company as to the sole remaining employment claim in the Diaz complaint. In July 2013, the court likewise entered summary judgment in favor of the Company on all remaining claims in the Gillespie complaint. Diaz and Gillespie each appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Judicial Court. Arguments on both appeals were heard in February 2015. In March 2015, the court issued a decision affirming the lower court's dismissal of all of Gillespie's claims and three of the four Diaz claims but reversing and remanding on one remaining claim alleging that incentive compensation for admissions representatives was improperly based on enrollment counts. Kaplan filed an answer to Diaz's amended complaint in September 2015 and a renewed motion to dismiss, and a hearing was held in December 2015. In March 2016, the Court denied the motion to dismiss and discovery is proceeding in the case. In February 2016, Gillespie filed a new motion with the District Court alleging that the Court improperly refused to consider a motion to vacate while the case was on appeal; Kaplan filed an opposition to this motion that was denied by the Court.

In February 2016, Acquire Learning (Acquire) filed a statement of claim against Kaplan Australia and Kaplan Inc. in the Victorian Supreme Court, alleging breaches of warranty in connection with Acquire's September 2015 purchase of Franklyn Scholar from Kaplan Australia, and seeking payment under the indemnity provisions of the sale

17

agreement. The alleged breaches of warranty relate to certain courses which were the subject of Victorian Government Department of Education and Training audits and subsequent repayment demands. Kaplan Australia filed its "Defence and Counterclaim" in April 2016, denying the allegations and bringing claims against Acquire. In June 2016, the claim was settled.

ED Program Reviews.  ED has undertaken program reviews at various KHE locations. Currently, there are five open program reviews, four of which are at campuses that were formerly a part of the KHE Campuses business, including the ED’s final reports on the program reviews at KHE’s Broomall, PA, and Pittsburgh, PA, locations. Kaplan retains responsibility for any financial obligation resulting from the ED program reviews at the KHE Campuses business.

On February 23, 2015, the ED began a review of Kaplan University. The review will assess Kaplan’s administration of its Title IV, HEA programs and will initially focus on the 2013 to 2014 and 2014 to 2015 award years. On December 17, 2015, Kaplan University received a notice from the ED that it had been placed on provisional certification status until September 30, 2018, in connection with the open and ongoing ED program review. The ED has not notified Kaplan University of any negative findings. However, at this time, Kaplan cannot predict the outcome of this review, when it will be completed or any liability or other limitations that the ED may place on Kaplan University as a result of this review. During the period of provisional certification, Kaplan University must obtain prior ED approval to open a new location, add an educational program, acquire another school or make any other significant change.

In March and April 2015, the ED conducted a program review of the nationally accredited San Antonio (Ingram) and Hammond (Indiana) KHE campuses. These campuses were subsequently a part of the sale of the nationally accredited campuses to ECA. Kaplan retains liability for any deficiency findings relating to pre-sale conduct. On July 20, 2016, ECA received the Preliminary Program Review Report for the two reviews from the ED. The Report highlighted a number of required policy changes and requires ECA to conduct a full review of student files over a two year period to help the Department determine if the school properly reported enrollment status for certain students to the National Student Loan Data System. Failure to properly report status could result in students receiving funds for which they were not entitled. Kaplan will work with ECA on these reviews; however, until they are completed, Kaplan cannot predict the final outcome or potential liability associated with these reviews.

The Company does not expect the open program reviews to have a material impact on KHE; however, the results of open program reviews and their impact on Kaplan’s operations are uncertain.

Accreditation Review. In the second quarter of 2016, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), Kaplan University's accreditor, conducted an on-site review as part of Kaplan University's regularly scheduled reaffirmation of accreditation. HLC is expected to issue its final report in September 2016.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

This analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Results of Operations

The Company reported income from continuing operations attributable to common shares of$60.8 million ($10.76 per share) for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $39.3 million ($6.71 per share) for the second quarter of 2015. Net income attributable to common shares was $57.8 million ($9.87 per share) for the second quarter of 2015, including $18.5 million ($3.16 per share) in income from discontinued operations. (Refer to “Discontinued Operations” discussion below.)

Items included in the Company’s income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2016:

• a $38.6 million non-operating gain from the sales of land and marketable equity securities (after-tax impact of$23.9 million, or $4.23 per share);

• a $3.2 million non-operating gain arising from the formation of a joint venture (after-tax impact of $1.7 million, or $0.29 per share);

Kaplan Higher Education (KHE) includes Kaplan’s domestic postsecondary education businesses, made up of fixed-facility colleges and online postsecondary and career programs. KHE also includes the domestic professional and other continuing education businesses.

Since 2012, KHE has closed campuses, consolidated facilities and reduced its workforce. On September 3, 2015, Kaplan completed the sale of substantially all of the remaining assets of its KHE Campuses business. In connection with these and other plans, KHE incurred $2.5 million and $5.4 million in restructuring costs in the second quarter and first six months of 2015, respectively. For the second quarter of 2015, these costs included severance ($1.0 million), lease obligation losses ($0.9 million) and accelerated depreciation ($0.6 million). For the six months of

22

2015, these costs included severance ($2.2 million), lease obligation losses ($1.8 million), accelerated depreciation ($1.3 million) and other items ($0.1 million).

In the second quarter of 2015, Kaplan recorded a $6.9 million long-lived asset impairment charge in connection with the KHE Campuses business. KHE results, excluding the impairment charge, include revenue and operating losses (including restructuring charges) related to all KHE Campuses, those sold or closed, including Mount Washington College and Bauder College, as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30						June 30
(in thousands)	2016			2015			2016			2015
Revenue	$	266		$	66,152		$	1,064		$	131,459
Operating loss	$	(907	)	$	(6,776	)	$	(2,099	)	$	(19,063	)

In the second quarter and first six months of 2016, KHE revenue declined 34% and 32%, respectively, due to campus sales and closings, and declines in average enrollments at Kaplan University. KHE operating results declined in the second quarter of 2016 due primarily to lower enrollment at Kaplan University, offset by reduced losses at the KHE Campuses business. KHE operating results improved in the first six months of 2016 due to reduced losses at the KHE Campuses business and lower marketing expenditures at Kaplan University.

New higher education student enrollments at Kaplan University declined 25% in the second quarter of 2016 and 31% for the first six months of 2016 due to lower demand across Kaplan University programs.Total students at Kaplan University were 33,367 at June 30, 2016, down 19% from June 30, 2015.

Kaplan University enrollments at June 30, 2016 and 2015, by degree and certificate programs, are as follows:

	As of June 30
	2016		2015
Certificate	6.6	%	2.9	%
Associate’s	20.4	%	28.0	%
Bachelor’s	50.4	%	46.8	%
Master’s	22.6	%	22.3	%
	100.0	%	100.0	%

Kaplan Test Preparation (KTP) includes Kaplan’s standardized test preparation programs. KTP revenue declined 1% and 3% for the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively. Enrollments, excluding the new economy skills training offerings, were down 10% for the first six months of 2016 due primarily to declines in pre-college programs; however, unit prices were generally higher. In comparison to 2015, KTP operating results were down 1% in the second quarter of 2016, but improved for the first six months of 2016. KTP's results reflect a reduction in operating expenses, despite increased investment in new economy skills training programs.

Kaplan International includes English-language programs, and postsecondary education and professional training businesses largely outside the United States. In January and February 2016, Kaplan acquired Mander Portman Woodward, a leading provider of high-quality, bespoke education to UK and international students in London, Cambridge and Birmingham; and Osborne Books, an education publisher of learning resources for accounting qualifications in the UK.

Kaplan International revenue declined 9% and 10% for the second quarter and first six months of 2016, of which 3% was due to currency fluctuations. The remaining decrease is due to enrollment declines in English-language and UK Pathways programs, partially offset by enrollment growth in Singapore and Australia higher education programs. Revenue growth from the 2016 acquisitions was largely offset by revenue declines due to prior year dispositions. Operating income declined in the second quarter and first six months of 2016, due largely to the declines in English-language and Pathways results, partially offset by operating income from newly acquired businesses.

Kaplan corporate and other represents unallocated expenses of Kaplan, Inc.’s corporate office, other minor businesses and certain shared activities. In the second quarter of 2015, Kaplan corporate recorded $13.6 million in restructuring charges, including accelerated depreciation ($9.7 million) and lease obligation losses ($3.8 million), related to office space managed by Kaplan corporate. In the first six months of 2015, Kaplan corporate recorded $21.2 million in restructuring charges, including accelerated depreciation ($16.2 million) and lease obligation losses ($4.9 million) related to office space managed by Kaplan corporate. In 2016, Kaplan corporate expenses also declined due to the benefits from restructuring activities. Also, 2015 spending for the replacement of its human resources system was not repeated in 2016.

In the first quarter of 2016, Kaplan sold Colloquy, which was a part of Kaplan corporate and other, for a gain of $18.9 million that is included in other non-operating income. In the second quarter of 2015, Kaplan sold two small

23

businesses; one was part of KHE and the other was part of Kaplan International. The gains on these dispositions are included in other non-operating income in the second quarter of 2015.

Television Broadcasting

Revenue at the television broadcasting division increased 6% to $96.5 million in the second quarter of 2016, from $90.8 million in the same period of 2015; operating income for the second quarter of 2016 increased 5% to $44.2 million, from $42.0 million in the same period of 2015. The revenue increase is due primarily to $5.3 million more in retransmission revenues. The increase in operating income is due to the revenue increase, offset by higher spending on digital initiatives and increased network fees.

Revenue at the television broadcasting division increased 8% to $188.5 million in the first six months of 2016, from $174.3 million in the same period of 2015; operating income for the first six months of 2016 increased 6% to $85.4 million, from $80.6 million in the same period of 2015. The revenue increase is due primarily to $10.1 million more in retransmission revenues and a $2.7 million increase in political advertising revenue. The increase in operating income is due to the revenue increase, offset by higher spending on digital initiatives and increased network fees.

In May 2016, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement with Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. and Media General, Inc. to acquire WCWJ, a CW affiliate television station in Jacksonville, FL and WSLS, an NBC affiliate television station in Roanoke, VA for $60 million in cash and the assumption of certain pension obligations. The Company will continue to operate both stations under their current network affiliations. The acquisition is subject to approval by the FCC, other regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of closing conditions. 

Other Businesses

Other businesses is comprised of three manufacturing businesses, including Dekko, a manufacturer of electrical workspace solutions, architectural lighting, and electrical components and assemblies acquired in November 2015; and providers of home health and hospice services. Other businesses also include SocialCode, a provider of marketing solutions on social-media platforms; Slate and Foreign Policy, which publish online and print magazines and websites; and certain other new ventures.

The increase in revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 is mostly due to the Dekko acquisition. In the second quarter and first six months of 2016, positive operating results from the manufacturing and healthcare businesses were offset by intangibles amortization and losses from publishing, SocialCode and new ventures.

Supplementary information regarding manufacturing results is as follows:

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended   June 30, 2016		Six Months Ended   June 30, 2016
Operating revenues	$	58,026	$	114,701
Operating expenses	50,455		101,303
Depreciation	1,906		3,779
Amortization of intangible assets	2,816		5,633
Operating income	$	2,849	$	3,986

In June 2016, the Company acquired the outstanding 20% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Residential Healthcare (Residential). Also in June 2016, Celtic Healthcare (Celtic) and Residential combined their business operations and the Company now owns 90% of the combined entity. The Company incurred approximately $2.0 million in expenses in conjunction with these transactions in the second quarter of 2016.

In June 2016, Residential and a Michigan hospital formed a joint venture to provide home health services to West Michigan patients. Residential manages the operations of the joint venture and holds a 40% interest. The pro rata operating results of the joint venture are included in the Company's equity in earnings of affiliates. In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $3.2 million in thesecond quarter of 2016 that is included in other non-operating income. 

In January 2015, Celtic Healthcare and Allegheny Health Network formed a joint venture to combine each other’s home health and hospice assets in the western Pennsylvania region. Celtic manages the operations of the joint venture for a fee and holds a 40% interest. The pro rata operating results of the joint venture are included in the Company’s equity in earnings of affiliates. In connection with this transaction, the Company recorded a noncash pre-tax gain of $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 that is included in other non-operating income.

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold The Root, an online magazine; the related gain on disposition is included in other non-operating income.

24

Corporate Office

Corporate office includes the expenses of the Company’s corporate office, the pension credit for the Company’s traditional defined benefit plan and certain continuing obligations related to prior business dispositions. The total pension credit for the Company’s traditional defined benefit plan was $32.1 million and $34.1 million in the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Without the pension credit, corporate office expenses declined in the first six months of 2016 due primarily to lower compensation costs.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Affiliates

At June 30, 2016, the Company held interests in a number of home health and hospice joint ventures, and interests in several other affiliates. The Company recorded equity in losses of affiliates of $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to losses of $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2015. The Company recorded equity in earnings of affiliates of $0.1 million for the first six months of 2016, compared to losses of $0.8 million for the first six months of 2015.

Other Non-Operating Income (Expense)

The Company recorded total other non-operating income, net, of $19.0 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $11.7 million for the second quarter of 2015. The 2016 amounts included a $34.1 million gain on the sale of land; a $4.5 million gain on the sale of marketable equity securities; a $3.2 million gain on the Residential joint venture transaction and other items, offset by $24.1 million in unrealized foreign currency losses. The 2015 amounts included $7.7 million in gains from the sales of businesses and an investment, $3.6 million in unrealized foreign currency gains and other items.

The Company recorded total other non-operating income, net, of $34.1 million for the first six months of 2016, compared to $10.6 million for the first six months of 2015. The 2016 amounts included a $34.1 million gain on the sale of land; an $18.9 million gain on the sale of a business; a $6.3 million gain on the sale of marketable equity securities; a $3.2 million gain on the Residential joint venture transaction and other items, offset by $29.5 million in unrealized foreign currency losses. The 2015 amounts included a $6.0 million gain on the Celtic joint venture transaction, $7.7 million in gains from the sales of businesses and an investment, and other items, offset by $3.2 million in unrealized foreign currency losses.

Net Interest Expense and Related Balances

The Company incurred net interest expense of $7.3 million and $14.6 million for the second quarter and first sixmonths of 2016, respectively, compared to $8.0 million and $16.0 million for the second quarter and first six months of 2015. At June 30, 2016, the Company had $400.0 million in borrowings outstanding at an average interest rate of 7.2% and cash, marketable equity securities and other investments of $999.8 million.

In July 2016, a Kaplan UK company entered into a 4-year loan agreement for a £75 million borrowing. The overall effective interest rate is 2.01%, taking into account an interest rate swap agreement the Company entered into on the same date as the borrowing.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate for the first six months of 2016 was 31.7%, compared with 34.8% for the first sixmonths of 2015. In the second quarter of 2016, the Company benefited from a favorable $5.6 million out of period deferred tax adjustment related to the KHE goodwill impairment recorded in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding this adjustment, the Company's effective tax rate for the first six months of 2016 was 35.6%.

The Company continues to record a valuation allowance with respect to Kaplan education division’s operations in Australia. As of June 30, 2016, a full valuation allowance is recorded on Australian net deferred tax assets of approximately $18 million, related to net operating tax loss carryforwards and other net temporary differences (excluding Australian capital loss carryovers). Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating sufficient future operating income.  Based primarily on a history of prior year losses, the company determined it is not more likely than not that the benefit of the net deferred tax assets would be realized, and accordingly, maintains a full valuation allowance. However, Kaplan's Australian operations recently began to generate positive ordinary income, and should operating results continue to improve in the future, management believes it is possible that it may become more likely than not that all of the Australian deferred tax assets will be realized, and accordingly, a release of the Australian valuation allowance would be recorded at that time. The Company will continue to closely monitor actual and projected education division operating results in Australia.

25

Discontinued Operations

In 2015, the Company completed the spin-off of Cable ONE as an independent, publicly traded company and the sale of a school in China that was previously part of Kaplan International.

As a result of these transactions, income from continuing operations excludes the operating results and related loss, if any, on dispositions of these businesses, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax, in 2015.

Earnings Per Share

The calculation of diluted earnings per share for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 was based on 5,574,336 and 5,612,959 weighted average shares outstanding, respectively, compared to 5,804,511 and 5,797,756 for the second quarter and first six months of 2015. At June 30, 2016, there were 5,617,444 shares outstanding. On May 14, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to acquire up to 500,000 shares of its Class B common stock; the Company has remaining authorization for 267,528 shares as of June 30, 2016.

Kaplan Higher Education (KHE) Regulatory Matters

On January 12, 2016, the ED commenced a negotiated rulemaking session to determine rules defining when a student may discharge certain federal financial aid debt based on improper actions by the student’s institution and when the ED may seek reimbursement from the institution for any discharged debt. On June 16, 2016, the ED issued proposed rules on borrower defenses to repayment and the ED’s comment deadline was August 1, 2016. The ED's goal is to issue a final rule by November 1, 2016; if the final rule is published by that date, it is expected to be effective July 1, 2017. ​If finalized, such rules could add significant risk to institutional participation in Title IV programs by greatly expanding loan discharges and mandating reimbursement from the student’s institution. The proposed rules for loan discharges include situations where mere allegations of misrepresentation by an institution may allow for discharge; in some cases, by classes of students as well as individual students. In addition, the proposed rules impose new requirements related to the financial responsibility rules; for schools to continue participation in the Title IV program, they would need to prove each year that they are financially sound. The ED is proposing use of a financial responsibility ratio calculation to make this determination. Under the rules, schools will be deemed “not financially responsible” if certain events happen, such as initiation of a lawsuit by a governmental agency or significant defense to repayment claims by students. Such “triggering events” would require schools to post a letter of credit equal to at least 10% of their total yearly Title IV draw. If the rule goes into effect as written, it is possible that Kaplan University will be subject to such letter of credit requirements in the future.  The proposed rules would also require schools not meeting a loan “repayment rate” threshold calculation to post public warnings in all marketing materials stating that the school may be financially risky to students. Finally, the draft rules include prohibitions on class action waivers in enrollment contracts and mandatory arbitration provisions. Kaplan University currently uses both mandatory arbitration and class action waivers to limit exposure to class action cases, and to more quickly and efficiently resolve student complaints. The Company cannot predict the ultimate scope and content of the final regulations, which may have a material adverse effect on KHE’s business and results of operations.

Financial Condition: Capital Resources and Liquidity

Acquisitions, Dispositions and Exchanges

Acquisitions.  In May 2016, Graham Media Group entered into an agreement to acquire two television stations for$60 million in cash and the assumption of certain pension obligations. The acquisition is subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission, other regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of closing conditions.

In the first six months of 2016, the Company acquired three businesses included in its education division totaling $208.7 million. In January and February 2016, Kaplan acquired a 100% interest in Mander Portman Woodward, a leading provider of high-quality, bespoke education to UK and international students in London, Cambridge and Birmingham; and a 100% interest in Osborne Books, an educational publisher of learning resources for accounting qualifications in the UK.These acquisitions are included in Kaplan International. In the first six months of 2015, the Company did not make any acquisitions.

On November 13, 2015, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Group Dekko, a Garrett, IN-based manufacturer of electrical solutions for applications across threebusiness lines: workspace power solutions, architectural lighting, and electrical components and assemblies, which is included in other businesses. On December 22, 2015, Kaplan acquired a 100% interest in SmartPros, a provider of accredited professional education and training, primarily in accountancy, which is included in Higher Education.

26

Spin-Off. On July 1, 2015, the Company completed the spin-off of Cable ONE, by way of a distribution of all the issued and outstanding shares of Cable ONE common stock, on a pro rata basis, to the Company's stockholders.

Sale of Businesses. In January 2016, Kaplan completed the sale of Colloquy, which was included in Kaplan Corporate and Other.

On September 3, 2015, Kaplan completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its KHE Campuses business, consisting of 38 nationally accredited ground campuses and certain related assets, in exchange for a preferred equity interest in Education Corporation of America (ECA). KHE Campuses schools that were closed or were in the process of closing were not included in the sale transaction. In connection with the sale agreement, if required by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) in connection with its post-closing review of the transaction, Kaplan will provide a letter of credit or other credit support with the ED of up to approximately $45 million; any such letter of credit or other credit support could be drawn by the ED in the event that ECA defaults on its obligations to students. If issued, such letter of credit or other credit support would have a term of two years, after which Kaplan would haveno further obligations.

In the second quarter of 2015, Kaplan also recorded a $6.9 million long-lived assets impairment charge in connection with the KHE Campuses business.

In the third quarter of 2015, Kaplan sold Franklyn Scholar, which was part of Kaplan International. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold The Root, a component of Slate, and Kaplan sold two small businesses, Structuralia, which was part of Kaplan International, and Fire and EMS Training, which was part of Kaplan Higher Education. As a result of these sales, the Company reported gains in other non-operating income. In the third quarter of 2014, Kaplan completed the sale of three of its schools in China that were previously included as part of Kaplan International. In January 2015, Kaplan completed the sale of an additional school in China.

Other.In June 2016, Residential and a Michigan hospital formed a joint venture to provide home health services to patients in western Michigan. In connection with this transaction, Residential contributed its western Michigan home health operations to the joint venture and then sold 60% of the newly formed venture to its Michigan hospital partner. Although Residential manages the operations of the joint venture, Residential holds a 40% interest in the joint venture, so the operating results of the joint venture are not consolidated and the pro rata operating results are included in the Company's equity in earnings of affiliates.

In June 2016, the Company purchased the outstanding 20% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Residential. At that time, the Company recorded an increase to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $3.4 million, with a corresponding decrease to capital in excess of par value, to reflect the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest at $24.0 million. Following this transaction, Celtic and Residential combined their business operations to form Graham Healthcare Group (GHG). The redeemable noncontrolling interest shareholders in Celtic exchanged their 20% interest in Celtic for a 10% mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest in the combined entity and the Company recorded a $4.1 million net increase to the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest to reflect the estimated fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest. The minority shareholders have an option to put their shares to the Company starting in 2020, and are required to put a percentage of their shares in 2022 and 2024, with the remaining shares required to be put by the minority shareholders in 2026. The redemption value is based on an EBITDA multiple, adjusted for working capital and other items, computed annually, with no limit on the amount payable. The Company now owns 90% of GHG. Because the noncontrolling interest is now mandatorily redeemable by the Company by 2026, it is reported as a noncurrent liability at June 30, 2016.

In January 2015, Celtic and AHN closed on the formation of a joint venture to combine each other’s home health and hospice assets in the western Pennsylvania region. Although Celtic manages the operations of the joint venture, Celtic holds a 40% interest in the joint venture, so the operating results of the joint venture are not consolidated and the pro rata operating results are included in the Company’s equity in earnings of affiliates.

Capital Expenditures

During the first six months of 2016, the Company’s capital expenditures totaled $25.0 million. This amount includes assets acquired during the year, whereas the amounts reflected in the Company's Condensed Statements of Cash Flows are based on cash payments made during the relevant periods. The Company estimates that its capital expenditures will be in the range of $70 million to $80 million in 2016.

Liquidity

The Company’s borrowings were $400.0 million and $399.8 million, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments in marketable securities and other investments totaling $999.8 million, compared with $1,154.4 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease is largely due to acquisitions and common share repurchases. The Company’s net cash provided by operating activities, as reported in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, was $135.5 million for the first six months of 2016, compared to $77.3 million for the first six months of 2015. The increase is largely due to significant income tax payments made in the first quarter of 2015, offset by the absence of the cable division operating results for the six months of 2016.

On June 29, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) providing for a U.S. $200 million five-year revolving credit facility (the Facility). The Company may draw on the Facility for general corporate purposes. The Facility will expire on July 1, 2020, unless the Company and the banks agree to extend the term. The Credit Agreement contains terms and conditions, including remedies in the event of a default by the Company, typical of facilities of this type.

On July 14, 2016, Kaplan entered into a Facility Agreement (the Kaplan Credit Agreement) among Kaplan International Holdings Limited, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, HSBC BANK PLC as Facility Agent, and other agents party thereto. The Kaplan Credit Agreement provides for a four-year credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of £75 million. Borrowings will bear interest at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus an applicable interest rate margin between 1.25% and 1.75%, in each case determined on a quarterly basis by reference to a pricing grid based upon the Company's total leverage ratio. The credit facility requires that 6.66% of the outstanding aggregate amount of the loan be repaid on the first three anniversaries of funding, with the remaining balance due on July 1, 2020.

On July 25, 2016, Kaplan borrowed £75 million under the Kaplan Credit Agreement. On the same date, Kaplan entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a total notional value of £75 million and a maturity date of July 1, 2020. The interest rate swap agreement will pay Kaplan variable interest on the £75 million notional amount at the three-month LIBOR, and Kaplan will pay the counterparties a fixed rate of 0.51%, effectively resulting in a total fixed interest rate of 2.01% on the outstanding borrowings at the current applicable margin of 1.5%. The interest rate swap agreement was entered into to convert the variable rate British pound borrowing under the Kaplan Credit Agreement into a fixed rate borrowing. The Company provided a guarantee on any borrowings under the Kaplan Credit Agreement. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap agreement and the underlying borrowing, the interest rate swap agreement was determined to be effective, and thus qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As such, any changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap will be recorded in other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows.

In the first six months of 2016, the Company acquired an additional 186,246 shares of its Class B common stock at a cost of approximately $89.1 million.

On June 24, 2015, due to the pending Cable spin-off, Moody’s downgraded the Company’s long-term credit ratings from “Baa3” to “Ba1” and the short-term rating from “Prime-3” to “NP”. On July 1, 2015, due to the Cable ONE spin-off, S&P lowered its corporate credit rating from “BBB” to “BB+” and its short-term rating from “A-2” to “B”. In addition, S&P removed the ratings from Credit Watch. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company decided to no longer have the rating agencies provide a short-term rating on the Company.

The Company’s current credit ratings are as follows:

	Moody’s	Standard & Poor’s
Long-term	Ba1	BB+

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had working capital of $883.1 million and $1,135.6 million, respectively. The Company maintains working capital levels consistent with its underlying business requirements and consistently generates cash from operations in excess of required interest or principal payments. The Company expects to fund its estimated capital needs primarily through existing cash balances and internally generated funds. In management’s opinion, the Company will have sufficient liquidity to meet its various cash needs throughout 2016.

In July 2016, Kaplan International Holdings Limited (KIHL) entered into an agreement with University of York International Pathway College LLP  (York International College) to loan the LLP approximately $35 million over the next eighteen months, to construct an academic building in the UK to be used by the College. York International College is a limited liability partnership joint venture between Kaplan York Limited (a subsidiary of Kaplan

28

International Colleges UK Limited) and a subsidiary of the University of York, for a pathways college. The loan will be repayable over 25 years at an interest rate of 7% and the loan is guaranteed by the University of York. While there is no strict requirement to make annual principal and interest payments, interest will be rolled up and accrue interest at 7% if no such payments are made. The loan becomes due and payable if the partnership agreement with Kaplan is terminated. 

There were no other significant changes to the Company’s contractual obligations or other commercial commitments from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements that are based largely on the Company’s current expectations. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and achievements to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. For more information about these forward-looking statements and related risks, please refer to the section titled “Forward-Looking Statements” in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The Company is exposed to market risk in the normal course of its business due primarily to its ownership of marketable equity securities, which are subject to equity price risk; to its borrowing and cash-management activities, which are subject to interest rate risk; and to its foreign business operations, which are subject to foreign exchange rate risk.

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange rate risk primarily at its Kaplan international operations, and the primary exposure relates to the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the British pound and the Australian dollar. This exposure includes British pound and Australian dollar denominated intercompany loans on U.S.-based Kaplan entities with a functional currency in U.S. dollars. In the first six months of 2016, the Company reported unrealized foreign currency losses of $29.5 million as a result of the decline in the British pound currency in the first six months of 2016; this includes an $11.5 million loss related to a British pound intercompany advance made in the first quarter of 2016 related to Kaplan's UK acquisitions. 

The Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in its 2015 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K have not otherwise changed significantly.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer) and the Company’s Senior Vice President-Finance (the Company’s principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of June 30, 2016. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President-Finance have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice President-Finance, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company faces a number of significant risks and uncertainties in connection with its operations. If any of the events or developments described below occurs, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Other than as subsequently discussed, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in our 2015 Form 10-K.

• Changes in International Regulatory and Physical Environments Could Negatively Affect International Student Enrollments

A substantial portion of Kaplan International’s revenue comes from programs that prepare international students to study and travel in English-speaking countries, principally the U.S., the UK, Australia and Singapore. Kaplan International’s ability to enroll students in these programs is directly dependent on its ability to comply with complex regulatory environments. For example, on June 23, 2016 the UK held a referendum in which voters approved exit from the European Union (“EU”), commonly referred to as “Brexit”. As a result of the referendum, there has been a sharp decline in the value of the British pound sterling as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. In the longer term, any impact from Brexit will depend, in part, on the outcome of future negotiations regarding the terms of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. Although the results of such negotiations are unknown, the outcome may disrupt the free movement of people, including students and employees, and goods and services between the UK, and the EU, undermine bilateral cooperation in key policy areas and create global economic and legal uncertainty. Any significant changes to the regulatory environment, or a natural disaster or pandemic in either the students’ countries of origin or the countries to which they desire to travel or study, could negatively affect Kaplan’s ability to attract and retain students, which could negatively impact Kaplan’s operating results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased shares of its Class B Common Stock as set forth in the following table:

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plan*	Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plan*
April	16,480	$	468.22	16,480	267,528
May	—	—		—	267,528
June	—	—		—	267,528
	16,480	$	468.22	16,480

* On May 14, 2015 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase, on the open market or otherwise, up to 500,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock. There is no expiration date for that authorization. All purchases made during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 were open market transactions.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization, Basis of Presentation and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Graham Holdings Company (the Company), is a diversified education and media company. The Company’s Kaplan subsidiary provides a wide variety of educational services, both domestically and outside the United States. The Company’s media operations comprise the ownership and operation of five television broadcasting stations. The Company's other business operations include home health and hospice services and manufacturing.

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: (i) generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information; (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q; and (iii) the guidance of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They include the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, including its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. As permitted under such rules, certain notes and other financial information normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented herein. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 may not be indicative of the Company’s future results. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes the reclassification of the results of operations of certain businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Out of Period Adjustment – In the second quarter of 2016, the Company benefited from a favorable $5.6 million out of period adjustment to the provision for deferred income taxes related to the $248.6 million goodwill impairment at the KHE reporting unit in the third quarter of 2015.  With respect to this error, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for 2016 and 2015 and the related interim periods, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported herein. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued comprehensive new guidance that supersedes all existing revenue recognition guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidance that defers the effective date by one year. The new guidance requires revenue to be recognized when the Company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also significantly expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new guidance with a restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new guidance with disclosure of results under the old guidance. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and believes such evaluation will extend over several future periods because of the significance of the changes to the Company’s policies and business processes.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have an impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the gross amount of debt instead of classified as a deferred asset. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted the new guidance retrospectively as of January 1, 2016. Therefore, prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this guidance which resulted in the reclassification of $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Company's 7.25% unsecured notes from deferred charges and other assets to long-term debt within its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that substantially revises the recognition, measurement and presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities. The new guidance, among other things, requires, (i) equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, with some exceptions, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (iv) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements, and (v) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that requires, among other things, a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset representing an entity's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a liability for lease payments on its balance sheet, regardless of classification of a lease as operating or financing. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and account for the lease similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. This new guidance supersedes all prior guidance. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation. The new guidance (i) requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recognized in the income statement with the tax effects of vested or exercised awards treated as discrete items. Additionally, excess tax benefits will be recognized regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period, effectively eliminating the APIC pool, (ii) concludes excess tax benefits should be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows, (iii) requires an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate a forfeiture rate for awards or account for forfeitures as they occur, (iv) changes the threshold for equity classification for cash settlements of awards for withholding requirements to the maximum statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction and (v) concludes cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS OF BUSINESSES

Acquisitions.  In May 2016, Graham Media Group entered into an agreement to acquire two television stations for$60 million in cash and the assumption of certain pension obligations. The acquisition is subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission, other regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of closing conditions.

In the first six months of 2016, the Company acquired three businesses included in its education division totaling $208.7 million. In January and February 2016, Kaplan acquired a 100% interest in Mander Portman Woodward, a leading provider of high-quality, bespoke education to UK and international students in London, Cambridge and Birmingham; and a 100% interest in Osborne Books, an educational publisher of learning resources for accounting qualifications in the UK.These acquisitions are included in Kaplan International. In the first six months of 2015, the Company did not make any acquisitions.

Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and were not significant. The aggregate purchase price of these 2016 acquisitions was allocated as follows on a preliminary basis:

	Weighted Average Life	Purchase Price Allocation
(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents		$	8,370
Accounts receivable		6,065
Other current assets		748
Property, plant and equipment		1,940
Goodwill		161,399
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
Trade names and trademarks		53,110
Amortized intangible assets
Student and customer relationships	3 years	5,174
Trade names and trademarks	5 years	1,347
	3 years	6,521
Current liabilities		(18,353		)
Noncurrent liabilities		(11,094		)
		$	208,706

The fair values recorded were based upon preliminary valuations and the estimates and assumptions used in such valuations are subject to change, which could be significant, within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The recording of deferred tax assets or liabilities, and the final amount of residual goodwill are not yet finalized. The Company expects no tax basis of goodwill for income tax purposes from these three acquisitions.

The acquired companies were consolidated into the Company’s financial statements starting on their respective acquisition dates. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include aggregate revenues and operating income for the companies acquired in 2016 of $13.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2016 and $25.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively, for the first six months of 2016. The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company’s results as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 2015. The unaudited pro forma information also includes the 2015 acquisitions as if they occurred at the beginning of 2014:

	Three Months Ended   June 30				Six Months Ended   June 30
(in thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Operating revenues	$	628,933	$	740,593	$	1,230,852	$	1,440,903
Net income	62,133		65,341		102,225		90,915

These pro forma results were based on estimates and assumptions, which the Company believes are reasonable. They are not the results that would have been realized had these entities been part of the Company during the periods presented and are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s consolidated results of operations in future periods.

On November 13, 2015, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Group Dekko, a Garrett, IN-based manufacturer of electrical solutions for applications across threebusiness lines: workspace power solutions, architectural lighting, and electrical components and assemblies, which is included in other businesses. On December 22, 2015, Kaplan acquired a 100% interest in SmartPros, a provider of accredited professional education and training, primarily in accountancy, which is included in Higher Education.

Spin-Off. On July 1, 2015, the Company completed the spin-off of Cable ONE, by way of a distribution of all the issued and outstanding shares of Cable ONE common stock, on a pro rata basis, to the Company's stockholders (see Note 2).

Sale of Businesses. In January 2016, Kaplan completed the sale of Colloquy, which was included in Kaplan Corporate and Other.

On September 3, 2015, Kaplan completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its KHE Campuses business, consisting of 38 nationally accredited ground campuses and certain related assets, in exchange for a preferred equity interest in Education Corporation of America (ECA). KHE Campuses schools that were closed or were in the process of closing were not included in the sale transaction. In connection with the sale agreement, if required by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) in connection with its post-closing review of the transaction, Kaplan will provide a letter of credit or other credit support with the ED of up to approximately $45 million; any such letter of credit or other credit support could be drawn by the ED in the event that ECA defaults on its obligations to students. If issued, such letter of credit or other credit support would have a term of two years, after which Kaplan would haveno further obligations.

The revenue and operating losses related to schools that were sold as part of the ECA transaction are as follows:

	Three Months Ended   June 30, 2015			Six Months Ended   June 30, 2015
(in thousands)
Revenue	$	63,036		$	124,123
Operating loss	(4,287		)	(7,301		)

In the second quarter of 2015, Kaplan also recorded a $6.9 million long-lived assets impairment charge in connection with the KHE Campuses business, of which $4.7 million was an unfavorable out of period expense adjustment related to the first quarter of 2015 (this amount is included in the above table). With respect to this error, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the first or second quarter of 2015, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.

In the third quarter of 2015, Kaplan sold Franklyn Scholar, which was part of Kaplan International. In the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold The Root, a component of Slate, and Kaplan sold two small businesses, Structuralia, which was part of Kaplan International, and Fire and EMS Training, which was part of Kaplan Higher Education. As a result of these sales, the Company reported gains in other non-operating income (see Note 10). In the third quarter of 2014, Kaplan completed the sale of three of its schools in China that were previously included as part of Kaplan International. In January 2015, Kaplan completed the sale of an additional school in China.

Other.In June 2016, Residential and a Michigan hospital formed a joint venture to provide home health services to patients in western Michigan. In connection with this transaction, Residential contributed its western Michigan home health operations to the joint venture and then sold 60% of the newly formed venture to its Michigan hospital partner. Although Residential manages the operations of the joint venture, Residential holds a 40% interest in the joint venture, so the operating results of the joint venture are not consolidated and the pro rata operating results are included in the Company's equity in earnings of affiliates.

In June 2016, the Company purchased the outstanding 20% redeemable noncontrolling interest in Residential. At that time, the Company recorded an increase to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $3.4 million, with a corresponding decrease to capital in excess of par value, to reflect the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest at $24.0 million. Following this transaction, Celtic and Residential combined their business operations to form Graham Healthcare Group (GHG). The redeemable noncontrolling interest shareholders in Celtic exchanged their 20% interest in Celtic for a 10% mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest in the combined entity and the Company recorded a $4.1 million net increase to the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest to reflect the estimated fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest. The minority shareholders have an option to put their shares to the Company starting in 2020, and are required to put a percentage of their shares in 2022 and 2024, with the remaining shares required to be put by the minority shareholders in 2026. The redemption value is based on an EBITDA multiple, adjusted for working capital and other items, computed annually, with no limit on the amount payable. The Company now owns 90% of GHG. Because the noncontrolling interest is now mandatorily redeemable by the Company by 2026, it is reported as a noncurrent liability at June 30, 2016.

In January 2015, Celtic and AHN closed on the formation of a joint venture to combine each other’s home health and hospice assets in the western Pennsylvania region. Although Celtic manages the operations of the joint venture, Celtic holds a 40% interest in the joint venture, so the operating results of the joint venture are not consolidated and the pro rata operating results are included in the Company’s equity in earnings of affiliates.

The Company’s income from continuing operations excludes Cable ONE and the sold Kaplan China school, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations, net of tax (see Note 2).

Total Debt	$	400,028	$	399,800

____________

(1) The carrying value is net of $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company’s other indebtedness at June 30, 2016 is at an interest rate of 6% and matures in 2019.

On June 29, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the Credit Agreement) providing for a U.S. $200 million five-year revolving credit facility (the Facility). The Company may draw on the Facility for general corporate purposes. The Facility will expire on July 1, 2020, unless the Company and the banks agree to extend the term. The Credit Agreement contains terms and conditions, including remedies in the event of a default by the Company, typical of facilities of this type. As of June 30, 2016, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants.

On July 14, 2016, Kaplan entered into a Facility Agreement (the Kaplan Credit Agreement) among Kaplan International Holdings Limited, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, HSBC BANK PLC as Facility Agent, and other agents party thereto. The Kaplan Credit Agreement provides for a four-year credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of £75 million. Borrowings will bear interest at a rate per annum of LIBOR plus an applicable interest rate margin between 1.25% and 1.75%, in each case determined on a quarterly basis by reference to a pricing grid based upon the Company's total leverage ratio. The credit facility requires that 6.66% of the outstanding aggregate amount of the loan be repaid on the first three anniversaries of funding, with the remaining balance due on July 1, 2020.

On July 25, 2016, Kaplan borrowed £75 million under the Kaplan Credit Agreement. On the same date, Kaplan entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a total notional value of £75 million and a maturity date of July 1, 2020. The interest rate swap agreement will pay Kaplan variable interest on the £75 million notional amount at the three-month LIBOR, and Kaplan will pay the counterparties a fixed rate of 0.51%, effectively resulting in a total fixed interest rate of 2.01% on the outstanding borrowings at the current applicable margin of 1.50%. The interest rate swap agreement was entered into to convert the variable rate British pound borrowing under the Kaplan Credit Agreement into a fixed rate borrowing. The Company provided a guarantee on any borrowings under the Kaplan Credit Agreement. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap agreement and the underlying borrowing, the interest rate swap agreement was determined to be effective, and thus qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As such, any changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap will be recorded in other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of approximately $400.0 million and $454.4 million, respectively, at average annual interest rates of approximately 7.2% and 6.8%, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net interest expense of $7.3 million and $8.0 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company had average borrowings outstanding of approximately $399.9 million and $450.2 million, respectively, at average annual interest rates of approximately 7.2% and 7.0%, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net interest expense of $14.6 million and $16.0 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2016, the fair value of the Company’s 7.25% unsecured notes, based on quoted market prices, totaled $437.5 million, compared with the carrying amount of $398.8 million. At December 31, 2015, the fair value of the Company’s 7.25% unsecured notes, based on quoted market prices, totaled $436.6 million, compared with the carrying amount of $398.6 million. The carrying value of the Company’s other unsecured debt at June 30, 2016 approximates fair value.

____________

(1) The Company’s money market investments are included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

(2) The Company's commercial paper investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.

(3) The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.

(4) Includes U.S. Government Securities, corporate bonds, mutual funds and time deposits. These investments are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of the security or inputs that include quoted market prices for similar instruments and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

(5) Includes Graham Holdings Company's Deferred Compensation Plan and supplemental savings plan benefits under the Graham Holdings Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which are included in accrued compensation and related benefits. These plans measure the market value of a participant's balance in a notional investment account that is comprised primarily of mutual funds, which are based on observable market prices. However, since the deferred compensation obligations are not exchanged in an active market, they are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation are included in operating income.

(6) The fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is based on an EBITDA multiple, adjusted for working capital and other items, computed annually. 

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a long-lived asset impairment charge of $6.9 million. The remeasurement of the long-lived asset is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed in the determination of the fair values.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company's unvested restricted stock awards contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and, therefore, are considered participating securities for purposes of computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The diluted earnings per share computed under the two-class method is lower than the diluted earnings per share computed under the treasury stock method, resulting in the presentation of the lower amount in diluted earnings per share. The computation of the earnings per share under the two-class method excludes the income attributable to the unvested restricted stock awards from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those underlying shares from the denominator.

The following reflects the Company's income from continuing operations and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings per share computations using the two-class method:

The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 exclude the effects of 102,000 stock options outstanding as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to a market condition. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 exclude the effects of 50,000 stock options outstanding as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to a market condition. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 exclude the effects of 6,100 restricted stock awards as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to a performance condition. The diluted earnings per share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 exclude the effects of 5,850 restricted stock awards, as their inclusion would have been antidilutive due to a performance condition.

In the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company declared dividends totaling $1.21 and $3.63, respectively. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company declared regular dividends totaling $2.65 and $7.95, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the net periodic benefit for the Company's pension plans, as reported above, includes costs of $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, reported in discontinued operations.

The total cost arising from the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), including a portion included in discontinued operations, consists of the following components:

	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
(in thousands)	2016		2015		2016		2015
Service cost	$	246	$	509	$	492	$	1,018

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the net periodic cost for the Company's SERP, as reported above, includes costs of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, reported in discontinued operations.

Defined Benefit Plan Assets. The Company’s defined benefit pension obligations are funded by a portfolio made up of a U.S. stock index fund, a relatively small number of stocks and high-quality fixed-income securities that are held by a third-party trustee. The assets of the Company’s pension plan were allocated as follows:

	As of
	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
U.S. equities	74	%	62	%
U.S. fixed income	20	%	13	%
International equities	6	%	25	%
	100	%	100	%

Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, the Company started managing approximately 44% of the pension assets internally, of which the majority is invested in a U.S. stock index fund with the remaining investments in Berkshire Hathaway stock and short-term fixed income securities. The remaining 56% of plan assets are still managed by two investment companies. The goal for the investments is to produce moderate long-term growth in the value of these assets, while protecting them against large decreases in value. Both investment managers may invest in a combination of equity and fixed-income securities and cash. The managers are not permitted to invest in securities of the Company or in alternative investments. The investment managers cannot invest more than 20% of the assets at the time of purchase in the stock of Berkshire Hathaway or more than 10% of the assets in the securities of any other single issuer, except for obligations of the U.S. Government, without receiving prior approval from the Plan administrator. As of June 30, 2016, the investment managers can invest no more than 23% of the assets they manage in specified international exchanges, at the time the investment is made, and no less than 10% of the assets could be invested in fixed-income securities.

In determining the expected rate of return on plan assets, the Company considers the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. In addition, the Company may consult with and consider the input of financial and other professionals in developing appropriate return benchmarks.

The Company evaluated its defined benefit pension plan asset portfolio for the existence of significant concentrations (defined as greater than 10% of plan assets) of credit risk as of June 30, 2016. Types of concentrations that were evaluated include, but are not limited to, investment concentrations in a single entity, type of industry, foreign country and individual fund. At June 30, 2016, the pension plan held investments in one common stock and one U.S. stock index fund that exceeded 10% of total plan assets, valued at $894.0 million, or 45% of total plan assets. At December 31, 2015, the pension plan held common stock in two investments that exceeded 10% of total plan assets, valued at $562.6 million, or 25% of total plan assets. At December 31, 2015, the pension plan held investments in one foreign country that exceeded 10% of total plan assets, valued at $332.4 million, or 15% of total plan assets.

Other Postretirement Plans. The total cost arising from the Company’s other postretirement plans consists of the following components:

	Three Months Ended June 30						Six Months Ended June 30

Total Other Non-Operating Income	$	19,000		$	11,678	$	34,096		$	10,573

In the second quarter of 2016, the Company sold the remaining portion of the Robinson Terminal real estate retained from the sale of the Publishing Subsidiaries, for a gain of $34.1 million.

In June 2016, Residential contributed assets to a joint venture entered into with a Michigan hospital in exchange for a 40% equity interest and other assets, resulting in a $3.2 million gain (see Note 4). The Company used an income and market approach to value the equity interest. The measurement of the equity interest in the joint venture is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed in the determination of the fair value.

In the first quarter of 2016, Kaplan sold Colloquy, which was a part of Kaplan corporate and other, for a gain of $18.9 million.

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold The Root and Kaplan sold two small businesses for a total gain of $2.9 million.

In the second quarter of 2015, the Company benefited from a $4.8 million favorable out of period adjustment to the gain on the sale of Classified Ventures related to the fourth quarter of 2014. With respect to this error, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations for 2015 and the related interim periods, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.

In January 2015, Celtic contributed assets to a joint venture entered into with AHN in exchange for a 40% equity interest, resulting in the Company recording a $6.0 million gain (see Note 4). The Company used an income and market approach to value the equity interest. The measurement of the equity interest in the joint venture is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed in the determination of the fair value.

CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Legal Matters.  The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. Although the outcomes of the legal claims and proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management believes that there are no existing claims or proceedings that are likely to have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Also, based on currently available information, management is of the opinion that the exposure to future material losses from existing legal proceedings is not reasonably possible, or that future material losses in excess of the amounts accrued are not reasonably possible.

Certain Kaplan subsidiaries are subject to two unsealed cases filed by former employees that include, among other allegations, claims under the False Claims Act relating to eligibility for Title IV funding. The U.S. Government declined to intervene in all cases, and, as previously reported, court decisions either dismissed the cases in their entirety or narrowed the scope of their allegations. The two cases are captioned: United States of America ex rel. Carlos Urquilla-Diaz et al. v. Kaplan University et al. (unsealed March 25, 2008) and United States of America ex rel. Charles Jajdelski v. Kaplan Higher Education Corp. et al. (unsealed January 6, 2009).

In August 2011, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida issued a series of rulings in the Diaz case, which included three separate complaints: Diaz, Wilcox and Gillespie. The court dismissed the Wilcox complaint in its entirety; dismissed all False Claims Act allegations in the Diaz complaint, leaving only an individual employment claim; and dismissed in part the Gillespie complaint, thereby limiting the scope and time frame of its False Claims Act allegations regarding compliance with the U.S. Federal Rehabilitation Act. In October 2012, the court entered summary judgment in favor of the Company as to the sole remaining employment claim in the Diaz complaint. In July 2013, the court likewise entered summary judgment in favor of the Company on all remaining claims in the Gillespie complaint. Diaz and Gillespie each appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Judicial Court. Arguments on both appeals were heard in February 2015. In March 2015, the court issued a decision affirming the lower court's dismissal of all of Gillespie's claims and three of the four Diaz claims but reversing and remanding on one remaining claim alleging that incentive compensation for admissions representatives was improperly based on enrollment counts. Kaplan filed an answer to Diaz's amended complaint in September 2015 and a renewed motion to dismiss, and a hearing was held in December 2015. In March 2016, the Court denied the motion to dismiss and discovery is proceeding in the case. In February 2016, Gillespie filed a new motion with the District Court alleging that the Court improperly refused to consider a motion to vacate while the case was on appeal; Kaplan filed an opposition to this motion that was denied by the Court.

In February 2016, Acquire Learning (Acquire) filed a statement of claim against Kaplan Australia and Kaplan Inc. in the Victorian Supreme Court, alleging breaches of warranty in connection with Acquire's September 2015 purchase of Franklyn Scholar from Kaplan Australia, and seeking payment under the indemnity provisions of the sale agreement. The alleged breaches of warranty relate to certain courses which were the subject of Victorian Government Department of Education and Training audits and subsequent repayment demands. Kaplan Australia filed its "Defence and Counterclaim" in April 2016, denying the allegations and bringing claims against Acquire. In June 2016, the claim was settled.

ED Program Reviews.  ED has undertaken program reviews at various KHE locations. Currently, there are five open program reviews, four of which are at campuses that were formerly a part of the KHE Campuses business, including the ED’s final reports on the program reviews at KHE’s Broomall, PA, and Pittsburgh, PA, locations. Kaplan retains responsibility for any financial obligation resulting from the ED program reviews at the KHE Campuses business.

On February 23, 2015, the ED began a review of Kaplan University. The review will assess Kaplan’s administration of its Title IV, HEA programs and will initially focus on the 2013 to 2014 and 2014 to 2015 award years. On December 17, 2015, Kaplan University received a notice from the ED that it had been placed on provisional certification status until September 30, 2018, in connection with the open and ongoing ED program review. The ED has not notified Kaplan University of any negative findings. However, at this time, Kaplan cannot predict the outcome of this review, when it will be completed or any liability or other limitations that the ED may place on Kaplan University as a result of this review. During the period of provisional certification, Kaplan University must obtain prior ED approval to open a new location, add an educational program, acquire another school or make any other significant change.

In March and April 2015, the ED conducted a program review of the nationally accredited San Antonio (Ingram) and Hammond (Indiana) KHE campuses. These campuses were subsequently a part of the sale of the nationally accredited campuses to ECA. Kaplan retains liability for any deficiency findings relating to pre-sale conduct. On July 20, 2016, ECA received the Preliminary Program Review Report for the two reviews from the ED. The Report highlighted a number of required policy changes and requires ECA to conduct a full review of student files over a two year period to help the Department determine if the school properly reported enrollment status for certain students to the National Student Loan Data System. Failure to properly report status could result in students receiving funds for which they were not entitled. Kaplan will work with ECA on these reviews; however, until they are completed, Kaplan cannot predict the final outcome or potential liability associated with these reviews.

The Company does not expect the open program reviews to have a material impact on KHE; however, the results of open program reviews and their impact on Kaplan’s operations are uncertain.

Accreditation Review. In the second quarter of 2016, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), Kaplan University's accreditor, conducted an on-site review as part of Kaplan University's regularly scheduled reaffirmation of accreditation. HLC is expected to issue its final report in September 2016.

Organization, Basis of Presentation And Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2016

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: (i) generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information; (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q; and (iii) the guidance of Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They include the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, including its domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. As permitted under such rules, certain notes and other financial information normally required by GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Management believes the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented herein. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 may not be indicative of the Company’s future results. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Certain amounts in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, which includes the reclassification of the results of operations of certain businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported herein. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be affected by changes in those estimates.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued comprehensive new guidance that supersedes all existing revenue recognition guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to the guidance that defers the effective date by one year. The new guidance requires revenue to be recognized when the Company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also significantly expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new guidance with a restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new guidance with disclosure of results under the old guidance. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and believes such evaluation will extend over several future periods because of the significance of the changes to the Company’s policies and business processes.

In August 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that requires management to assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have an impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires that debt issuance costs be reported in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the gross amount of debt instead of classified as a deferred asset. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted the new guidance retrospectively as of January 1, 2016. Therefore, prior periods have been adjusted to reflect this guidance which resulted in the reclassification of $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Company's 7.25% unsecured notes from deferred charges and other assets to long-term debt within its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that substantially revises the recognition, measurement and presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities. The new guidance, among other things, requires, (i) equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, with some exceptions, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, (iv) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements, and (v) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that requires, among other things, a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset representing an entity's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and a liability for lease payments on its balance sheet, regardless of classification of a lease as operating or financing. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities and account for the lease similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. This new guidance supersedes all prior guidance. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The standard requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation. The new guidance (i) requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recognized in the income statement with the tax effects of vested or exercised awards treated as discrete items. Additionally, excess tax benefits will be recognized regardless of whether the benefit reduces taxes payable in the current period, effectively eliminating the APIC pool, (ii) concludes excess tax benefits should be classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows, (iii) requires an entity to make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate a forfeiture rate for awards or account for forfeitures as they occur, (iv) changes the threshold for equity classification for cash settlements of awards for withholding requirements to the maximum statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction and (v) concludes cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2) The Company's commercial paper investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.

(3) The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.

(4) Includes U.S. Government Securities, corporate bonds, mutual funds and time deposits. These investments are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of the security or inputs that include quoted market prices for similar instruments and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

(5) Includes Graham Holdings Company's Deferred Compensation Plan and supplemental savings plan benefits under the Graham Holdings Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which are included in accrued compensation and related benefits. These plans measure the market value of a participant's balance in a notional investment account that is comprised primarily of mutual funds, which are based on observable market prices. However, since the deferred compensation obligations are not exchanged in an active market, they are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation are included in operating income.

(6) The fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is based on an EBITDA multiple, adjusted for working capital and other items, computed annually.

[1] The Company’s money market investments are included in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

[2] The Company's commercial paper investments with original maturities of 90 days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.

[3] The Company’s investments in marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.

[4] Includes U.S. Government Securities, corporate bonds, mutual funds and time deposits. These investments are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of the security or inputs that include quoted market prices for similar instruments and are classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy.

[5] Includes Graham Holdings Company's Deferred Compensation Plan and supplemental savings plan benefits under the Graham Holdings Company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which are included in accrued compensation and related benefits. These plans measure the market value of a participant's balance in a notional investment account that is comprised primarily of mutual funds, which are based on observable market prices. However, since the deferred compensation obligations are not exchanged in an active market, they are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) on deferred compensation are included in operating income.

[6] The fair value of the mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interest is based on an EBITDA multiple, adjusted for working capital and other items, computed annually.
