The condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 39 weeks ended January 26, 2019 include the financial results of Student Brands in the DSS segment, and the condensed consolidated financial statements for the 13 and 39 weeks ended January 27, 2018 include the financial results of Student Brands from the date of acquisition on August 3, 2017.
On August 21, 2018, we acquired the assets of PaperRater, a leading website that offers students a suite of writing services aimed at improving multiple facets of writing.  PaperRater’s services include plagiarism detection, grammar feedback, and an AI-based writing score predictor, and are highly complementary to Student Brands’ existing writing service offerings.
