Operating Highlights

Medical and Healthcare Segment

For the third quarter, segment revenue of $246.8 million grew 9.5 percent compared to the prior year, driven by solid growth at Chamberlain. Operating income, excluding special items, for the segment was $52.8 million, representing an increase of 15.2 percent from the prior year.

DeVry Medical International

Revenue for the third quarter at DeVry Medical International grew 3.7 percent to $88.3 million. In 2016, Ross University School of Medicine and American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine current and prior graduates earned more than 1,050 residency positions at hospitals in the United States and Canada. These graduates will continue their training in 47 U.S. states and three Canadian provinces, including such prestigious institutions as Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Stanford University Medical Center and University of Chicago Medical Center.

During the quarter, the American Veterinary Medical Association reaffirmed Ross University School of Medicine’s accreditation through 2018.

Chamberlain College of Nursing

For the third quarter, Chamberlain revenue increased 20.7 percent to $122.0 million. For the March 2016 session, new students increased 12.1 percent to 2,429 students versus 2,166 in the prior year. Total students increased 19.8 percent to 27,694 versus 23,108 in the prior year.

Chamberlain began classes at its new Sacramento, California, campus in May 2016.


Carrington College

Revenue at Carrington College decreased 6.7 percent in the third quarter to $36.6 million. For the three-month period ending March 31, 2016, new students decreased 5.9 percent and total students decreased 6.0 percent compared to the prior year.

International and Professional Education Segment

Third quarter revenue increased 17.4 percent to $71.7 million compared to the prior year, primarily driven by the acquisition of Ibmec Group. The decline in the Brazilian Real as compared to the U.S. Dollar reduced reported revenues by approximately $9 million. On a constant currency basis, revenue in the segment grew 31.7 percent. Segment operating income excluding special items in the third quarter was $4.6 million, essentially equal to the prior year.

Becker Professional Education

Third quarter revenue was roughly flat at $23.7 million compared to the prior year. During the quarter, Becker began developing licensing agreements in India and the United Arab Emirates to launch healthcare courses.

DeVry Brasil

Revenue in the quarter grew 28.2 percent to $48.1 million. Without the negative currency effect, revenue would have increased 51.4 percent. DeVry Brasil’s new student enrollment in the March term increased 26.4 percent to 24,768 students compared to 19,589 in the prior year. Total student enrollment increased 35.0 percent to 79,280 students compared to 58,724 last year.

Business, Technology, and Management Segment

DeVry University

In the third quarter, segment revenue decreased 23.3 percent to $156.4 million. The segment recorded operating income of $6.4 million for the quarter compared to $5.6 million in the prior year, excluding special items. DeVry University recovered more than its year-over-year revenue decline through continued cost control reduction initiatives. DeVry University is on track to maintain positive segment economics in fiscal 2016.


For the March 2016 session, new undergraduate students declined 28.5 percent to 2,970 students. Total undergraduate students declined 22.4 percent to 28,069 students. On a same-campus basis (excluding the locations moving to an online-only delivery), new undergraduate student enrollments declined 22.9 percent and total students declined 16.8 percent.

The number of graduate coursetakers in the March 2016 session was 11,699, a decline of 20.1 percent compared to the prior year.

Building on its programmatic focus strategy, DeVry University recently began offering new certificates in web design and web programming as well as a new specialization in software programming.

Balance Sheet/Cash Flow

DeVry Group generated $219.7 million of operating cash flow during the first nine months of fiscal 2016. As of March 31, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $330.2 million.

During the quarter, DeVry Group repurchased 400,800 shares at an average price of $19.63.

Outlook

DeVry Group provided the following outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016:

  • Fourth quarter revenue is expected to decrease 2 to 3 percent versus the prior year quarter, reflecting the declining revenue at DeVry University and Carrington College, which will offset revenue growth at DeVry Group’s other institutions
  • Fourth quarter operating costs before special items are expected to decline 3 to 4 percent versus the prior year quarter
  • The effective income tax rate in the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately 23 percent, before special items

These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as DeVry Group or its management "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "foresees," "forecasts," "estimates" or other words or phrases of similar import. Actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Supplemental Reconciliation Schedule

During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal years 2016 and 2015, DeVry Group recorded restructuring charges related to workforce reductions and real estate consolidations at DeVry University, real estate consolidations at Carrington College (“Carrington”) and write-down of assets at Becker Professional Education in order to align its cost structure with enrollments. Also, DeVry Group recorded a gain on the sale of the DeVry University, Fremont, Calif., campus and student housing facilities. In addition, in the first nine months of fiscal year 2016, DeVry Group recorded an asset impairment charge related to the write-down of Carrington's intangible assets and goodwill. The following table illustrates the effects of the restructuring expense, gain on sale of assets and asset impairment charge on DeVry Group’s earnings. Management believes that the non-GAAP disclosure of net income and earnings per share excluding these special items provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of DeVry Group’s ongoing operations and is useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations given the special nature of the restructuring expense, gain on sale of assets and asset impairment charge. DeVry Group uses these supplemental financial measures internally in its management and budgeting process. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, DeVry Group’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP information (in thousands, except per share data):

During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2016, DeVry Group recorded restructuring charges related to workforce reductions at DeVry University which is part of the Business, Technology and Management segment and real estate consolidations at DeVry University and Carrington College ("Carrington") which is part of the Medical and Healthcare segment and write-down of assets at Becker Professional Education which is part of the International and Professional Education segment in order to align its cost structure with enrollments. Also, DeVry Group recorded a gain on the sale of the DeVry University, Fremont, CA campus and student housing facilities. In addition, in first nine months of fiscal year 2016, DeVry Group recorded an asset impairment charge related to the write-down of Carrington's intangible assets and goodwill. During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2015, DeVry Group recorded restructuring charges related to workforce reductions and real estate consolidations at DeVry University and real estate consolidations at Chamberlain College of Nursing and Carrington which are part of the Medical and Healthcare segment in order to align its cost structure with enrollments. The following table illustrates the effects of restructuring expense, asset impairment charge and gain on sale of assets on DeVry Group’s operating income. Management believes that the non-GAAP disclosure of operating income excluding these special items provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of DeVry Group’s ongoing operations and is useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations given the special nature of the restructuring expense, asset impairment charge and gain on sale of assets. DeVry Group uses these supplemental financial measures internally in its management and budgeting process. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, DeVry Group’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP information (in thousands):
