Apollo Group, Inc. News Release |
APOLLO GROUP, INC. REPORTS FISCAL 2011 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Phoenix, March 29, 2011 Apollo Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: APOL) (Apollo Group, Apollo or the
Company) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we continued to execute on the key strategic initiatives
that weve been developing and implementing, which are designed to enhance the student experience,
expand student protections and ensure that we enroll students who we believe have a greater
likelihood to succeed in our programs, said Apollo Group Co-Chief Executive Officer and Apollo
Global Chairman Greg Cappelli. While these initiatives are resulting in a period of transition for
our business, we are pleased that we have recently begun to see signs of improvement in several of
the leading indicators of future activity.
Apollo Group Co-Chief Executive Officer Chas Edelstein added, While we are in the early stage of
implementing these initiatives, we are excited to see some initial positive signs, such as
improving rates of student retention for those who complete Orientation and subsequently enroll, a
continued mix shift toward our higher degree-level programs, and lower bad debt expense. We believe
these actions are the right things to do for our students, and importantly, we are confident that
over time they will solidify our leadership role within the industry and put our organization on a
path of more consistently delivering high quality growth.
Unaudited Second Quarter of Fiscal 2011 Results of Operations
Consolidated net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 totaled $1,048.6 million, which
represents a 2.0% decrease from the second quarter of fiscal 2010, principally due to lower
enrollments at University of Phoenix, partially offset by selective tuition price increases, a
favorable mix shift toward higher degree-level programs, and improved student retention rates.
University of Phoenix Degreed Enrollment decreased 11.6% to 405,300 compared with the prior years
second quarter, primarily due to a 44.9% decrease in New Degreed Enrollment compared with the prior
year period. The Company believes the decline in New Degreed Enrollment is primarily the result of
the operational changes and initiatives it has implemented to more effectively support students and
improve educational outcomes, including changes in the manner in which admissions and other
employees are evaluated and compensated, the full implementation of University Orientation, and the
continued refinement of the Companys marketing approaches to more effectively identify students
who have a greater likelihood to succeed in University of Phoenixs educational programs. Also
contributing to the decrease in consolidated net revenue was a $6.4 million decrease in net revenue
at Apollo Global in the second quarter compared to the prior year period, due to lower student
enrollment at BPP and UNIACC.

The Company reported a loss from continuing operations attributable to Apollo Group for the three
months ended February 28, 2011, of $66.6 million, or $0.47 per share (142.4 million diluted
weighted average shares outstanding), compared to income from continuing operations attributable to
Apollo Group of $103.2 million, or $0.67 per share (155.2 million diluted weighted average shares
outstanding) for the three months ended February 28, 2010.
Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 contain special items that include goodwill and other
intangibles impairment charges of $219.9 million for the BPP subsidiary of Apollo Global ($188.3
million net of noncontrolling interests) and a $1.6 million charge for accrued incremental
post-judgment interest and other estimated costs related to a securities class action lawsuit
(Policemans Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago). The Company recorded a tax benefit of $5.0
million, net of noncontrolling interests, associated with these charges. The Company did not record
a net tax benefit associated with the goodwill impairment, as it is not deductible for tax
purposes. The fiscal 2010 second quarter results included a pre-tax charge of $44.5 million ($26.9
million net of tax) representing an accrual related to the previously mentioned securities class
action lawsuit.
Excluding these special items, income from continuing operations attributable to Apollo Group for
the three months ended February 28, 2011, was $118.2 million, or $0.83 per share (142.7 million
diluted weighted average shares outstanding), compared to income from continuing operations
attributable to Apollo Group of $130.1 million, or $0.84 per share for the three months ended
February 28, 2010. (See the reconciliation of GAAP financial information to non-GAAP financial
information in the tables section of this press release.)
Operating Expenses
Instructional and student advisory expenses increased by $6.2 million, or 1.5%, to $421.6 million
for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2010.
The increase was primarily due to various strategic initiatives implemented to more effectively
support students and improve their educational outcomes, which has resulted in increased
compensation related to certain student advisory and infrastructure support functions and increased
curriculum development and delivery costs.
Marketing expenses increased by $15.9 million, or 11.3%, to $157.2 million for the three months
ended February 28, 2011, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2010. The increase was
primarily a result of higher advertising expenditures, driven by the increased costs associated
with the Companys efforts to more effectively identify students who have a greater likelihood to
succeed in its educational programs and increases in advertising rates for traditional and online
media due to increased competition for higher degree level students.
Admissions advisory expenses decreased by $15.9 million, or 13.4%, to $102.3 million for the three
months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2010. The decrease
was a result of lower admissions advisory headcount, including the strategic reduction in force
implemented during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 that eliminated approximately 700 full-time
positions, principally among admissions personnel. Compensation expense was favorably impacted by a
reduction of approximately $8 million in the second
2
quarter of fiscal 2011 related to this reduction in force, the majority of which was in admissions
advisory. This decrease was partially offset by higher average employee compensation costs.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses increased by $15.5 million, or 22.6%, to $84.3 million
for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2010.
The increase is primarily attributable to expenses associated with the Companys investments in
its information technology resources and capabilities, as well as various expenses related to
compliance and external affairs activities.
The provision for uncollectible accounts receivable (bad debt expense) decreased by $28.3
million, or 38.4%, to $45.5 million for the three months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the
three months ended February 28, 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to reductions in gross
accounts receivable as a result of decreases in New Degreed Enrollment and improvements in student
retention rates, partially due to the full implementation of University Orientation. Improved
collection rates at University of Phoenix also contributed to the decrease.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $3.9 million, or 11.1%, to $39.1 million for the three
months ended February 28, 2011, compared to the three months ended February 28, 2010. The increase
was primarily due to increased depreciation related to computer equipment and software, partially
offset by a decrease in amortization of BPP intangible assets.

Unaudited First Six Months of Fiscal 2011 Results of Operations
Consolidated net revenue for the six months ended February 28, 2011, was $2.4 billion, a 2.0%
increase over the comparable period of fiscal 2010. The increase in consolidated net revenue was
primarily attributable to selective tuition price increases at University of Phoenix, partially
offset by a 3.2% decrease in University of Phoenixs average Degreed Enrollment during the six
months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to the six months ended February 28, 2010. The Company
reported income from continuing operations attributable to Apollo Group of $169.4 million, or $1.17
per share, (144.7 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding), and $343.7 million, or
$2.21 per share, (155.6 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding) for the six months
ended February 28, 2011, and February 28, 2010, respectively.
Results for the six months ended February 28, 2011 contain special items that include goodwill and
other intangibles impairment charges of $219.9 million for the BPP subsidiary of Apollo Global
($188.3 million net of noncontrolling interests), a $2.5 million charge for accrued incremental
post-judgment interest and other estimated costs related to a securities class action lawsuit
(Policemans Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago), and a $3.8 million restructuring charge
associated with a strategic reduction in force, primarily at University of Phoenix. The Company
recorded a tax benefit of $6.9 million, net of noncontrolling interests, associated with these
charges. The Company did not record a net tax benefit associated with the goodwill impairment, as
it is not deductible for tax purposes. Results for the six months ended February 28, 2010 contain a
pre-tax charge of $44.5 million ($26.9 million net of tax) representing an accrual related to the
previously mentioned securities class action lawsuit and a tax benefit of $11.4 million resulting
from the settlement of disputed tax issues with the Internal Revenue Service.
Excluding these special items, income from continuing operations attributable to Apollo Group for
the six months ended February 28, 2011 was $357.1 million, or $2.47 per share, compared to income
from continuing operations attributable to Apollo Group of $359.2 million, or $2.31 per share, for
the six months ended February 28, 2010. (See the reconciliation of GAAP financial information to
non-GAAP financial information in the tables section of this press release.)
Unaudited Balance Sheet
As of February 28, 2011, the Companys cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash,
totaled $1,033.3 million as compared to $1,284.8 million as of August 31, 2010. The decrease is
attributable to repayments on borrowings, share repurchases, capital expenditures and an increase
in restricted cash, partially offset by cash generated from operations. Restricted cash and cash
equivalents (including long-term) increased by $21.5 million compared to August 31, 2010, primarily
due to increased student deposits associated with students receiving financial aid.
At February 28, 2011, accounts receivable decreased to $217.8 million from $264.4 million at August
31, 2010. Excluding accounts receivable and the associated net revenue for Apollo Global, the
Companys days sales outstanding (DSO) was 22 days at February 28, 2011, compared to 30 days at
August 31, 2010 and February 28, 2010. The decrease in DSO versus a
5
year ago is primarily attributable to reductions in gross accounts receivable as a result of
decreases in New Degreed Enrollment and improvements in student retention, partially due to the
full implementation of University Orientation. Improved collection rates at University of Phoenix
also contributed to the decrease.
Total debt outstanding (including short-term borrowings and the current portion of long-term debt)
decreased by $393.4 million to $191.0 million at February 28, 2011, from $584.4 million at August
31, 2010. The decrease is due to the repayment of U.S. denominated borrowings on the Companys $500
million credit facility.
Share Repurchases
The Company repurchased approximately 1.8 million and 6.5 million shares of its common stock at a
weighted average purchase price of $42.75 and $38.99 per share for a total expenditure of $75.0
million and $251.5 million during the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, respectively.
As of February 28, 2011, approximately $525 million remained available under the Companys current
share repurchase authorization.

The Company offers the following commentary regarding the outlook for fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2012
based on the business trends observed during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as well as
managements current expectations of future trends, which could change.

| Consolidated net revenue of $4.65-$4.75 billion; and | ||
| Operating income, excluding the impact of special items, of $1.15-$1.20 billion. |
Fiscal 2012:
| Consolidated net revenue of $4.00-$4.25 billion; and | ||

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release and the related conference call contain non-GAAP financial measures, which are
intended to supplement, but not substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Management uses, and chooses to disclose to investors, these non-GAAP financial measures because
(i) such measures provide an additional analytical tool to clarify the Companys results from
operations and help to identify underlying trends in its results of operations; (ii) as to the
non-GAAP earnings measures, such measures help compare the Companys performance on a consistent
basis across time periods; and (iii) these non-GAAP measures are employed by the Companys
management in its own evaluation of performance and are utilized in financial and operational
decision-making processes, such as budgeting and forecasting. Exclusion of items in
7
our non-GAAP
presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual,
infrequent or non-recurring. Other companies, including other companies in the education industry,
may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a
comparative measure across companies.

(1) | The $188.3 million charge for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011 represents impairments of BPPs goodwill and other intangible assets, net of noncontrolling interest. We did not record a tax benefit associated with the goodwill impairment because the goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. | |
(2) | The $1.6 million and $2.5 million charges for the three and six months ended February 28, 2011, respectively, represent an estimated loss related to a securities litigation matter (Policemans Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago). The $44.5 million charge for the three and six months ended February 28, 2010 represents an estimated loss associated with the same matter. | |
(3) | The $3.8 million charge for the six months ended February 28, 2011 represents a charge associated with a strategic reduction in force at University of Phoenix during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. | |
(4) | The $11.4 million tax benefit during the six months ended February 28, 2010 resulted from our settlement of disputed tax issues with the Internal Revenue Service during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. | |
(5) | Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 includes the dilutive effect of share-based awards that are not reflected in the comparable GAAP reported number due to their anti-dilutive effect on the net loss from continuing operations attributable to Apollo. |
