Product Revenue
Product revenue decreased $70.3 million, or 52%, to $66.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 from $136.3 million during the year
ended December 31, 2014. Product revenue primarily decreased $58.6 million, $9.8 million, and $1.2 million in our direct-to-consumer, global retail, and
homeschool sales channels, respectively. Product sales volume decreased as we continue to carry out our strategy to migrate our Consumer business to
subscription-based products. Product revenue also decreased due to the year-over-year decline in product unit sales volume as a result of the strategic
decision to be more disciplined marketing and advertising expenses and curtail promotional pricing to focus on stabilizing prices.
Subscription and Service Revenue
Subscription and service revenue increased $26.1 million, or 21%, to $151.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015. Within the Enterprise &
Education segment, the increase in subscription and service revenue was primarily due to the $12.0 million increase in Enterprise & Education literacy
revenue combined with revenue increases within Enterprise & Education language of $3.2 million and $0.9 million in the education and non-profit service
sales channels, respectively. These increases were slightly offset by a decrease of $2.1 million in the corporate sales channel within Enterprise & Education
language. The Consumer segment realized increases of $10.5 million, $1.6 million, and $0.4 million in direct-to-consumer, Fit Brains, and global retail
service sales channels, respectively. Our 2014 subscription and service revenue was lower due to the write-down effects of purchase accounting on the pre-
acquisition deferred revenue balances associated with Lexia and Tell Me More. We continue to experience these purchase accounting impacts for Lexia due
to the typical subscription length. As a result, we expect the growth rates from our Enterprise & Education segment to mitigate over time. Subscription and
services sales volume increased as we continue to carry out our strategy to migrate our Consumer business to subscription-based products. However, it is
important to note that these subscribers generally only stay for the duration of the subscription period, which could negatively impact our revenue in the
future.
