DeVry Inc. Announces First-Quarter 2013 Results

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 25, 2012--DeVry Inc. (NYSE: DV), a global provider of educational services, today reported academic, operational and financial results for its fiscal 2013 first-quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012. DeVry also reported enrollment results at DeVry University, DeVry Medical International, Chamberlain College of Nursing, Carrington Colleges Group, DeVry Brasil, and graduate coursetakers at DeVry University/Keller Graduate School of Management.

Operational accomplishments this quarter included:

  • A reduction in total costs for the quarter of $27 million on a sequential basis
  • A 53 percent increase in new student enrollments at Chamberlain, resulting in more than 12,000 total students for the September session
  • An increase in new enrollments at Carrington of 33 percent versus prior year
  • An 8.4 percent increase in new students at DeVry Medical International
  • The completion of the Faculdade do Vale do Ipojuca (FAVIP) acquisition resulting in a total of more than 26,000 students in DeVry Brasil’s institutions

Selected financial data for the three months ended Sept. 30, 2012:

  • Revenues decreased 7.0 percent to $482.7 million
  • Net income decreased 44.4 percent to $32.0 million
  • Diluted earnings per share decreased 41.0 percent to $0.49
  • Operating cash flow of $164.1 million generated during the quarter
  • 1.1 million shares repurchased during the quarter

“We are off to a good start in achieving our top two priorities of realigning our costs and regaining enrollment growth,” said Daniel Hamburger, DeVry’s president and chief executive officer. “We are now on track to deliver cost savings of $60 million for fiscal 2013, and Carrington’s new student enrollments exceeded our expectations. These efforts, combined with the results from DeVry Medical International, Chamberlain and Becker, demonstrate that we are making solid progress on our performance improvement plan.”


Real Estate Optimization

Given recent reductions in force, primarily at DeVry University and Carrington, the organization has excess administrative office capacity in the Chicago area. As part of its ongoing real estate optimization program, management plans to sell the Wood Dale, Ill., administrative office building later this year and relocate those employees to existing administrative office space in other Chicagoland locations. DeVry anticipates recording a non-cash restructuring charge of $9 to $10 million associated with this transaction in the second fiscal quarter of 2013. It expects to save approximately $2 million annually as a result of this consolidation.

Organizational Highlights

Business, Technology and Management Segment

DeVry University

For the September session at DeVry University, new undergraduate enrollments decreased 8.6 percent to 6,580 compared to 7,200 for the previous year. Total undergraduate students decreased 14.9 percent to 56,086 versus 65,933 for the session a year ago, reflecting a continuation of the trends experienced in previous periods.

At the graduate level, total coursetakers in the September session decreased 7.8 percent to 22,072 versus 23,937 for the same session a year ago. DeVry believes these results can be viewed in the broader context of declining enrollments at the graduate level in all sectors of higher education, particularly among MBA programs.

The total number of DeVry University online undergraduate and graduate coursetakers in the September session decreased 9.4 percent to 71,200 versus 78,602 in the same session a year ago.

DeVry University recently launched a new advertising campaign that underscores the growing need for an educated workforce to fill tomorrow’s jobs in high-demand sectors. The new campaign can be seen at the following link: http://investors.devryinc.com/Investor-Relations/Presentations-and-Reports/default.aspx


As an example of the strong value proposition of our career-focused programs, graduate employment at DeVry University was 85.7 percent in the most recent annual reporting period. This average includes graduates of associate and bachelor’s degree programs for the twelve-month period ending February 2012. See the enrollment table on page six for additional information.

Medical and Healthcare Segment

DeVry Medical International

In the 2012 September session for DeVry Medical International, new students increased 8.4 percent to 925, compared to 853 students for prior year session. Total students increased 2.1 percent to 6,209 compared to 6,082 students in the same session last year. Expansion of American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine’s (AUC) campus continues with a new academic building under construction, which is scheduled for completion in fall 2013.

Chamberlain College of Nursing

Chamberlain's new student enrollment in the September session increased 52.6 percent to 1,625 students, compared to 1,065 in September 2011. Total student enrollment increased 20.2 percent to 12,050 students compared with 10,029 during the same period last year.

These results reflect strong demand at campuses opened in the last several years and a record grand opening at Chamberlain’s Atlanta campus. In September, Chamberlain received approval for a new campus in Cleveland with classes scheduled to start in January 2013.

Chamberlain recently partnered with the National League for Nursing (NLN) to establish the NLN Chamberlain College of Nursing Center for the Advancement of the Science of Nursing Education. The NLN/Chamberlain Center will promote evidence-based nursing education and the scholarship of teaching, enabling the expansion of NLN programming in nursing education research.


Carrington Colleges Group

For the three month period ending September 30, 2012, new student enrollment for Carrington Colleges Group increased 33.3 percent to 3,396 versus 2,548 in the previous year. Total enrollment decreased 8.3 percent to 7,628 compared to 8,322 in the prior year.

These institutions continued to make progress on their turnaround plans, which led to higher quality inquiries, and improved conversion and retention rates in the quarter.

International, K-12, and Professional Education Segment

Becker Professional Education

Becker recently announced that it has been named an approved provider of continuing professional education (CPE) to the IRS for its Registered Tax Return Preparers and Enrolled Agents. Becker also launched CPA preparatory courses in Mandarin, continuing the expansion of its international presence.

DeVry Brasil

During the quarter, DeVry Brasil acquired Faculdade do Vale do Ipojuca (FAVIP). In the September 2012 term, new students increased 2.2 percent to 4,179, compared to 4,090 students last year. Total students increased 9.2 percent to 26,346 compared to 24,135 students in the same term last year. DeVry Brasil continues to expand its curriculum and invest in student services, new programs, and new campus locations.

Balance Sheet/Cash Flow

For the first quarter, DeVry generated $164.1 million of operating cash flow. As of Sept. 30, 2012, cash, marketable securities and investment balances totaled $250.3 million and there were no outstanding borrowings.

Share Repurchase Plan

During the quarter, DeVry repurchased 1,130,874 shares of its common stock for approximately $25.7 million, at an average cost of $22.74 per share, under its seventh share repurchase program.
