Adjusted EBITDA reached $42.7 million, a 14.3% margin, and management raised full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $1.220–$1.245 billion and increased the Adjusted EBITDA margin target to approximately 14%.

Coursera, Inc. has approved a workforce reduction plan tied to its recent merger with Udemy. The plan is meant to better align its cost structure and staffing with post-merger business objectives and operational priorities.
The company expects to record approximately $8 million to $11 million of expenses, mainly for termination benefits such as severance and healthcare coverage for impacted employees. Most of these cash charges are expected to occur in the third and fourth quarters of 2026. Stock-based compensation from this action is not expected to be material. Coursera notes that local laws and consultation requirements could extend some position eliminations beyond 2026 and that actual charges may differ materially from current estimates. Management also highlights broader efficiency and synergy efforts related to the Udemy merger, with any additional associated costs and benefits to be disclosed in future periodic reports.
Coursera discusses its post‑merger profile after combining with Udemy and shares a detailed 2026 outlook. On a pro forma basis, the combined company generated more than $1.5 billion of revenue in 2025, split between Enterprise and Consumer segments.
For 2026, Coursera guides to reported revenue of $1.21–$1.24 billion, up 60–64% due to including Udemy only from mid‑May. On a normalized combined basis that assumes Udemy for the full year, revenue is expected at $1.49–$1.52 billion, a 4–2% decline as Enterprise grows modestly and Consumer faces transactional headwinds despite double‑digit subscription growth.
More than 80% of Q1 2026 revenue came from recurring Enterprise and Consumer subscription streams, and Q1 combined Consumer subscription revenue rose 17% year over year while non‑subscription revenue fell 24%. Coursera targets $115 million+ of annual run‑rate net synergies by the end of 2027, including at least $80 million by the end of 2026, supporting an expected 2026 gross margin of about 61.5% and Adjusted EBITDA margin of 13%, rising to roughly 16% in Q4.
Pro forma cash was $1.15 billion with no debt as of March 31, 2026, and Coursera has a $500 million share repurchase authorization, under which it has already bought back about $70 million of stock.
