REVENUE

For the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2017, total revenue was $146.2 million and $308.3 million representing a decrease of 19.9 percent and 19.2 percent, respectively, compared to total revenue of $182.6 million and $381.5 million for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The decrease was primarily driven by declining revenues within the Transitional Group and Culinary Arts segments which are in teach-out.

Total revenue for the University Group was $137.4 million and $285.7 million representing a decrease of 3.5 percent and 0.5 percent, respectively, for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2017. The decrease for the current quarter is primarily driven by the academic calendar redesign at AIU.

New student enrollments were impacted by a change to how the Company records certain cancelled students. Excluding the impact of this change new student enrollments would have decreased 3.9 percent for CTU, increased 5.1 percent for AIU and decreased 0.9 percent for the University Group for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior year quarter and for the current year to date CTU would have decreased 1.7 percent, AIU would have decreased 1.9 percent and the University Group in total would have decreased 1.8 percent as compared to the prior year to date.

(2)

Teach-out campuses within the Transitional Group and Culinary Arts no longer enroll new students; students who re-enter after 365 days are reported as new student enrollments.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale short-term investments totaled $172.1 million and $207.2 million, respectively.

 

OUTLOOK

Second quarter results came in ahead of our previously provided outlook and continued execution against our strategy has provided us further visibility into our anticipated operating results. As a result, the Company is providing an update to its previous outlook for adjusted operating losses related to our teach-out operations and for ending cash balances for 2017 as well as a third quarter outlook for the University Group and Corporate. The Company currently expects the following results, subject to the key assumptions identified below (see the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation for adjusted operating income (loss) attached to this press release for further details):

 

University Group and Corporate adjusted operating income in the range of $22 to $24 million for the third quarter of 2017, compared to $19 million in 2016.

 

University Group and Corporate adjusted operating income in the range of $100 to $105 million for the full year 2017, compared to $89 million in 2016.

 

New student enrollment expected to grow at CTU during the third quarter of 2017. Although new student enrollments are expected to decline for AIU in the third quarter of 2017 primarily due to the academic calendar redesign, AIU’s third quarter decline is expected to be more than offset with new enrollment growth during the fourth quarter of 2017.

 

Adjusted operating loss for our Transitional Group and Culinary Arts segments in the range of $45 million to $55 million in 2017, compared to adjusted operating loss of $30 million in 2016, and in the range of $10 million to $15 million in 2018 as we wind-down the remainder of our teach-out campuses.

 

End of year cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale short-term investments, net of any borrowings, as reported on the consolidated balance sheets of approximately $155 million to $160 million for the year ending December 31, 2017, and expected to increase in 2018.

 

Operating income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted operating income (loss), may not follow the same trends as discussed in our outlook above because of adjustments made for unused space charges that represent the present value of future remaining lease obligations for vacated space less an estimated amount for sublease income as well as depreciation, amortization, asset impairment charges and significant legal settlements. The operating income (loss) and adjusted operating income (loss) and cash outlook provided above for 2017 and 2018 are based on the following key assumptions and factors, among others: (i) prospective student interest in our programs continues to trend in line with recent experiences, (ii) modest total enrollment growth within the University Group while achieving the intended University Group efficiencies, (iii) teach-outs to progress as expected and performance consistent with current trends, (iv) achievement of recovery rates for the Company’s real estate obligations and timing of any associated lease termination payments consistent with the Company’s historical experiences, (v) continued right-sizing of the Company’s corporate expense structure to serve primarily online institutions, (vi) no material changes in the legal or regulatory environment and excludes legal and regulatory liabilities which are not probable and estimable at this time and any impact of new or proposed regulations, including the “borrower defense to repayment” regulations and the gainful employment regulation and any modifications thereto, and (vii) consistent working capital movements in line with historical operating trends and potential impacts of teach-out campuses on working capital in line with expectations. Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s good faith beliefs regarding current events and actions that may be undertaken in the future, actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

The Company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain significant items as a means to understand the performance of its operations. As a general matter, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP to help analyze the performance of its operations, assist with preparing the annual operating plan, and measure performance for some forms of compensation. In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze the Company’s historical results and to provide estimates of future performance.

The Company believes adjusted operating income (loss) allows it to analyze and assess its ongoing operations and compare current operating results with the operational performance of other companies in its industry because it does not give effect to potential differences caused by items it does not consider reflective of underlying operating performance, such as unused space charges and significant legal reserves. In evaluating adjusted operating income (loss), investors should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses similar to the adjustments presented above. The presentation of adjusted operating income (loss) should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by expenses that are unusual, non-routine or non-recurring. Adjusted operating income (loss) has limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), or any other performance measure derived in accordance and reported under GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity.

Non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in a reconciliation to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide an additional way of viewing the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Amounts relate to the University Group and Corporate.

(4)

Unused space charges represent the net present value of remaining lease obligations for vacated space less an estimated amount for sublease income. These charges relate to exiting leased space as the Company continues to right-size the organization and therefore are not considered representative of ongoing operations.

(5)

Management assesses results of operations for the University Group and Corporate separately from the Transitional Group and Culinary Arts. As the Transitional Group and Culinary Arts have been announced for teach-out, management views these operations as not reflective of the ongoing business. As a result, management views adjusted operating income from the University Group and Corporate separately from the remainder of the organization, to assess results and make decisions.

(6)

Amounts relate to the Transitional Group and Culinary Arts.
