Insights

Capital Structure Analyst

Debt reduced by $150 million via term loan paydown; modestly de-risking capital structure and lowering future interest burden.

McGraw-Hill Education, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of McGraw Hill, Inc., paid down $150 million of its Term Loan on October 16, 2025. The payment was made under the existing credit agreement originally dated July 30, 2021 and subsequently amended multiple times. This action directly reduces outstanding principal on the Term Loan and, by definition, the associated future interest on that repaid principal.

The disclosure is furnished under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD) and includes a press release as Exhibit 99.1, which means it is not deemed "filed" for Exchange Act Section 18 liability. While the filing does not quantify remaining borrowings or terms, a paydown of this size generally tightens the liability profile and can ease refinancing needs tied to that facility.

Key items to monitor in upcoming reports: updated total debt and liquidity, any changes to the credit agreement from prior amendments, and interest expense trends following the $150 million reduction. The next periodic filing after October 2025 should provide clearer visibility on debt balances and any knock-on effects.
