change to the Companys fiscal quarter ending dates from a
modified 52/53-week calendar in which quarterly periods ended on
different dates from year to year, to the last day of the
calendar month in each quarter. With the introduction of the All
Access Pass (AAP) in fiscal 2016 and the expected impact of
annual AAP renewals, the Company believes this change will
produce more consistent quarterly financial results as an initial
AAP contract sale to a client and subsequent annual renewals will
generally be in the same quarterly period. For instance, an AAP
contract signed on February 26, 2016 was accounted for in the
second quarter of fiscal 2016, but a contract renewal effective
February 26, 2017 would have been accounted for in the third
quarter of fiscal 2017 prior to the change. Beginning with the
second quarter of fiscal 2017, the Companys fiscal quarter ending
dates will be November 30, February 28 (or February 29 in leap
years), and May 31, rather than on February 25, 2017 and May 27,
2017 as previously announced for the end of the second and third
quarters of fiscal 2017. The Companys fiscal year end will remain
unchanged at August 31 of each year.
