Apollo Education Group, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2016 Results
Phoenix, April 6, 2016 - Apollo Education Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: APOL) (“Apollo” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the three and six months ended February 29, 2016, with second quarter revenue of $465.3 million and a $0.56 diluted loss per share from continuing operations, or a $0.31 loss per share excluding special items.
“While we are facing significant industry and regulatory headwinds that have resulted in declining enrollment at University of Phoenix, we remain focused and committed to a transformational plan that will help the university improve student outcomes and compete more effectively over a long-term period,” said Greg Cappelli, Chief Executive Officer of Apollo Education Group. “We continue to expand internationally through Apollo Global, which again generated double-digit revenue growth on a constant currency basis. We also continue to improve operating efficiency throughout the entire organization.”
Second Quarter 2016 Results of Operations
Apollo Education Group reported net revenue for the second quarter 2016 of $465.3 million compared to $575.1 million for the second quarter 2015. Second quarter 2016 University of Phoenix New Degreed Enrollment was 17,200 and Degreed Enrollment was 162,400, compared to New Degreed Enrollment of 28,300 and Degreed Enrollment of 213,800 for the prior year second quarter.

Loss from continuing operations attributable to Apollo Education Group for the second quarter 2016 was $60.4 million, or $0.56 per share, compared to loss of $23.2 million, or $0.21 per share, for the prior year second quarter.
Excluding special items, loss from continuing operations attributable to Apollo Education Group for the second quarter 2016 was $33.2 million, or $0.31 per share, compared to $7.9 million, or $0.07 per share, for the second quarter 2015. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $12.9 million for the second quarter 2016 compared to $17.9 million for the second quarter 2015. (Special items and Adjusted EBITDA for the respective periods are included in the reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information tables of this press release.)
First Six Months of 2016 Results of Operations
Net revenue for the first six months of fiscal year 2016 totaled $1.1 billion, compared to $1.3 billion in the first six months of fiscal year 2015. In the first six months of 2016, University of Phoenix Average Degreed Enrollment was 176,700, compared to 224,900 for the prior year period.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of February 29, 2016, the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities (including current and noncurrent) totaled $675.1 million, compared to $794.2 million as of August 31, 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to $101.2 million paid to acquire Career Partner GmbH and capital expenditures.
Total debt outstanding (including short-term borrowings and the current portion of long-term debt) was $62.0 million as of February 29, 2016.
Business Outlook
The Company continues to experience headwinds causing further reductions to the operating outlook for the year. Domestically, the primary factors include lower New Degreed Enrollment and fewer than expected continuing students at the University of Phoenix. This is in part attributable to the implementation of components of the university’s transformation plan, including the reduction in the frequency of course start dates, which has impacted the timing of student breaks and reenrollment. In addition, we have reduced the number of associate programs, realigned the campus strategy, focused on a new approach to admissions diagnostics, and discontinued the use of any third-party marketing affiliates. Internationally, the strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies is negatively impacting reported revenue. While efforts to reduce expenses remain on track, the latest projections for Revenue, Operating Income and Degreed Enrollment are below the outlook provided on the first quarter earnings call. Due to the pending merger transaction and the challenges in accurately forecasting operating results during the implementation of the transformational plan for the University of Phoenix, the Company is withdrawing the prior guidance issued on the first quarter earnings call on January 11, 2016, and is not providing an updated financial outlook at this time.
Conference Call Information
In light of the pending merger announced February 8, 2016, the Company will not be hosting an investor conference call following the issuance of its fiscal year 2016 second quarter earnings press release.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures 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 Company’s 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 Company’s performance on a consistent basis across time periods; and (iii) these non-GAAP measures are employed by the Company’s 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 the 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, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure across companies.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings from continuing operations before interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and special items. It is intended to provide an indicator of our operating performance across time periods.
Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor

These forward-looking statements are based on current information and expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual plans implemented and actual results achieved may differ materially from those set forth in or implied by such statements due to various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the timing of the completion of the previously announced pending merger transaction with AP VIII Queso Holdings, L.P., an affiliate of Apollo Management VIII, L.P., which is a fund managed by an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, LLC, an entity unrelated to Apollo Education Group; (ii) the failure of the merger counterparty to obtain the necessary equity financing to complete the merger and the related transactions; (iii) the inability to complete the merger due to the failure to obtain shareholder approval or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the merger, including receipt of required regulatory approvals; (iv) the risk that regulatory agencies impose restrictions, limitations, costs, divestitures or other conditions in connection with providing regulatory approval of the merger; (v) the outcome of pending or potential litigation or governmental investigations; (vi) disruptions resulting from the proposed merger making it more difficult for Apollo Education Group to maintain relationships with its students, customers, employees, suppliers and strategic partners; (vii) competitive responses to the proposed merger; (viii) unexpected costs, liabilities, charges or expenses resulting from the merger; (ix) the inability to obtain, renew or modify permits in a timely manner, or comply with government regulations; (x) the inability to retain key personnel of Apollo Education Group or its subsidiaries; (xi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, including a termination of the merger agreement under circumstances that could require Apollo Education Group to pay a termination fee; (xii) unexpected expenses or other challenges in integrating acquired businesses, student, consumer or regulatory impact arising from consummation of such acquisitions, and unexpected changes or developments in the acquired businesses; (xiii) diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns; (xiv) limitations placed on Apollo Education Group’s ability to operate its business by the merger agreement; (xv) the impact of increased competition from traditional public universities and proprietary educational institutions; (xvi) the impact of the initiatives to transform University of Phoenix into a more-focused, higher-retaining and less-complex institution, including the near-term impact on enrollment; (xvii) the impact of Apollo Education Group’s ongoing restructuring and cost-reduction initiatives; (xviii) impacts from actions taken by our regulators that could affect University of Phoenix’s eligibility to




participate in or the manner in which it participates in U.S. Federal and state student financial aid programs, including the recent requirement that all substantial changes be approved by the U.S. Department of Education in advance; (xix) further delay in University of Phoenix’s pending recertification by the U.S. Department of Education for participation in Title IV student financial aid programs, or any limitations or qualifications imposed in connection with any recertification; (xx) the impact of any reduction in financial aid available to students, including active and retired military personnel, due to the U.S. government deficit reduction proposals, debt ceiling limitations, budget sequestration or otherwise; (xxi) changes in regulation of the U.S. education industry and eligibility of proprietary schools to participate in U.S. Federal student financial aid programs; (xxii) changes in University of Phoenix’s enrollment or student mix; (xxiii) the impact on student enrollments of the announcement of the proposed merger and general economic conditions; (xxiv) the impact of third party claims that Apollo Education Group’s products and services infringe their intellectual property rights; and (xxv) fluctuations in non-U.S. currencies that could impact reported operating results of foreign subsidiaries.
