Barnes & Noble Education reported profitable third quarter results, with sales benefiting from persistent growth in the company's First Day program offerings. However, net income would have been negative without a sizable one-time benefit from the termination of liabilities related to a frozen retirement benefit plan. While Adjusted EBITDA increased by almost 30% on a year-over-year basis, improved profitability did not translate into higher cash generation.

Barnes & Noble Education: Strong Q2 Results But Questions Remain - Hold
Barnes & Noble Education reported decent Q2/FY2025 results, driven by strong growth in First Day program contributions and ongoing cost savings initiatives. While revenues were down slightly due to additional store closures, Adjusted EBITDA of $66 million increased by more than 30% on a year-over-year basis.
