Q3 FY2027 results
From KinderCare Learning Companies, Inc.'s results release of November 12, 2026. These are the company's first figures; its 10-Q or 10-K replaces them when filed.
Revenue
Actual
$665.3M
-1.7% y/y ↓
-4.6% q/q ↓
Set against the company's own guidance and the same quarter a year earlier, not analysts' estimates, which we do not hold. Adjusted figures are the company's own non-GAAP measures, as stated in the release.
| Measure | 3 months toOct 3, 2026 | 3 months toSep 27, 2025 | Change |
|---|
| Total Revenue | $665.3M | $676.8M | -1.70% |
These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.
