Chegg Inc. (NYSE: CHGG) said on Monday that its financial performance remained robust in the fiscal fourth quarter of 2020 amidst the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic that has so far infected more than 27 million people in the United States and caused a little under half a million deaths. The company also raised its guidance for the current financial year on Monday.
Chegg shares jumped a little under 5% in extended trading on Monday.

Chegg’s guidance for fiscal 2021
For fiscal 2021, Chegg now forecasts its revenue to fall in the range of £566.32 million to £573.58 million. It expects up to £196.03 million of full-year adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation).
The education technology company said that its revenue in the recently concluded year printed at £467.79 million that represents a 57% growth on a year over year basis. Its adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2020 came in at £150.36 million.
The company attributed its hawkish annual financial performance to the strong momentum in Q4 and robust growth in subscribers in the fiscal first quarter. According to Chegg:
“We expect continued growth in the United States and increased contribution internationally where we expect to surpass one million subscribers in 2021.”
In separate news from the U.S., the video game holding company, Take-Two Interactive also reported its financial results for the fiscal third quarter on Monday, after the bell.
