2Q26 to include Udemy; Consumer revenue pressured 29 June 2026

Coursera completed its merger with Udemy on May 11, 2026, creating a scaled online Equity

learning platform across Enterprise and Consumer. For 2Q26, we estimate revenue of

~$293mn and EBITDA of ~$32mn (~11% margin), reflecting Udemy’s partial-quarter

Key Changescontribution. In FY26, segment-wise, Enterprise should see a near-term uplift from the

addition of Udemy Business, while Consumer is facing pressure from transactional (US$) Previous Current

declines (particularly Udemy legacy), partly offset by ongoing strength in subscriptions. Price Obj. 8.00 7.00

However, integration-related revenue dis-synergies (particularly in Enterprise from Nafeesa Gupta

salesforce integration and customer overlap) are expected to increase in FY27. Research Analyst
