“2018 has started with positive momentum in key operating metrics with

REVENUE
For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, total revenue was $148.1 million,
representing an 8.7 percent decrease from $162.1 million in comparison
to the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by
declining revenues within our teach-out campuses. As of March 31, 2018,
there are six campuses remaining to complete their teach-outs during the
remainder of 2018 as compared to 28 campuses as of March 31, 2017.

OPERATING INCOME (LOSS)
For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded operating
income of $20.5 million compared to operating income of $9.8 million in
the prior year quarter. The University Group and Corporate recorded
operating income of $26.8 million for the first quarter of 2018,
compared to operating income of $23.1 million in the prior year quarter.
Operating income reported for the current year improved by $10.7 million
primarily driven by reduced operating expenses associated with the
substantial completion of the teach-out of the All Other Campuses
segment, as well as continued efficiencies of marketing and advertising
costs within the University Group.

means to understand the performance of its operations. (See tables below
and the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation attached to this press release
for further details.)
As shown in the table below, adjusted operating income for the
University Group and Corporate was $29.2 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2018 compared to adjusted operating income of $25.7 million in
the prior year quarter. Adjusted operating loss for All Other Campuses
was $3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 compared to an
adjusted operating loss of $9.8 million in the prior year quarter.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW
Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.1 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2018 as compared to net cash used in operating
activities of $39.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The
improvement in cash flow from operations was primarily driven by $32.0
million of legal settlement payments in the prior year quarter and
reduced operating losses at our teach-out campuses in the current
quarter.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, cash, cash equivalents,
restricted cash and available-for-sale short-term investments (“cash
balances”) totaled $187.6 million and $180.1 million, respectively.
OUTLOOK
Consistent with the objective of sustainable and responsible growth, the
Company is affirming its previously provided full year outlook for
adjusted operating income and ending cash balances for 2018 and 2019.
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):
Financial Outlook:
-
Full year 2018: total company adjusted operating income in the range
of $99 million to $106 million and University Group and Corporate in
the range of $110 million to $115 million.
-
Second quarter 2018: total company adjusted operating income in the
range of $19.5 million to $21.5 million and University Group and
Corporate in the range of $22.5 million to $24 million.
-
Year end 2018 cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term
investments to be in the range of $220 million to $225 million.
-
Adjusted operating income for the total company to grow in 2019 as
compared to 2018 and our ending cash balance for 2019 to increase as
compared to 2018.
University Group Enrollment Outlook:
- CTU
-
New student enrollments for the second quarter of 2018 are
expected to increase as compared to the prior year quarter.
- AIU:
-
We expect growth in new student enrollments in the second and
third quarter. This growth is expected to approximately offset the
decline in the first quarter of 2018.
-
We expect 2018 full year revenue growth at AIU.
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 the 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), enrollment and cash
outlook provided above for 2018 and 2019 are based on the following key
assumptions and factors, among others: (i) prospective student interest
in the Company’s programs continues to trend in line with recent
experiences, (ii) initiatives and investments in student-serving
processes and initiatives continue to positively impact enrollment
trends within the University Group, (iii) achievement of anticipated
recovery rates for the Company’s real estate obligations and timing of
any associated lease termination payments in line with current
expectations, (iv) no material changes in the current legal or
regulatory environment, and excludes legal and regulatory liabilities
and other related impacts which are not probable and estimable at this
time, and any impact of new or proposed regulations, including the
“borrower defense to repayment” and gainful employment regulations and
any modifications thereto, and (v) no material changes in the estimated
amount of compensation expense that could be impacted by changes in the
Company’s stock price.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 and non-cash 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.

Operating income for the University Group and Corporate and
operating loss for All Other Campuses make up the components of

| |
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 All Other Campuses. As All Other
Campuses have been announced for teach-out or have been taught 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 All Other Campuses.
