Following its acquisition of NWEA earlier this year, learning technology company HMH today announced an important first step for the combined organization. NWEA’s flagship assessment MAP Growth will now be used for automatic placement into HMH’s best-in-class connected solutions Read 180, Math 180 and Waggle to further enhance personalized learning. Customers using NWEA MAP Growth with HMH Waggle will benefit from placement into Waggle’s CODiE-award winning gamified personalized learning. The Read 180 and Math 180 student applications, trusted and effective intervention programs built on decades of research, will use MAP Growth data to place students into Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention. This offers educators a powerful new option to deepen student learning through more targeted placement based on refined data.

"Q3 marked an important milestone for the company as we substantially completed the platform consolidation and the restructuring announced earlier this year in February," said Christopher North, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Now, Shutterfly, TinyPrints, and our Weddings business - representing the overwhelming majority of our Consumer customers - are on a single technical platform. Combined with our streamlined cost structure and sharpened focus, we're in a strong position to execute against our growth plan going forward." "Our Shutterfly brand and Shutterfly Business Solutions performed well in Q3. We continue to make good progress against our areas of strategic focus while maintaining strong cost control, and also closed a $500 million credit facility. And we're ready for the fourth quarter with a beautiful selection of holiday products for both Shutterfly and TinyPrints customers, and having significantly improved customer experiences both on the web and in our mobile app." Net revenues totaled $195.4 million, a 4% year-over-year increase. Consumer net revenues totaled $135.4 million, a 6% year-over-year decrease as anticipated, as we migrated TinyPrints customers to the Shutterfly Platform, and shut down Wedding Paper Divas in the quarter and MyPublisher earlier in the year. Shutterfly Business Solutions net revenues totaled $60.0 million, a 39% year-over-year increase. GAAP Operating loss totaled $35.8 million and Net loss was $25.6 million or $0.78 per share.
