Total Revenue of $61.1 million; Transportation and Skilled Trades Segment $42.1 million, Healthcare and Other Professions Segment $19.0 million.
|
· |
Transportation and Skilled Trades Segment Student Starts up 7.5%; Healthcare and Other Professions Segment Student Starts up 21.1%.
|
· |
Ending Student Population on a Same School Basis at June 30, 2018 Exceeds Comparable Prior Year Period by 350 Students.

|
· |
Conference Call Today at 10 a.m. ET.
|
· |
Total student starts increased by 11.6%. Transportation and Skilled Trades segment starts were up 7.5% and Healthcare and Other Professions segment starts were up 21.1%. The improved start growth is primarily due to strong results from the Company’s sales team combined with results from marketing investments and initiatives to improve the students’ enrollment experience. The increase in student starts has eliminated the carry in population deficit and the Company is now ahead of prior year by about 350 students.
|
· |
Total revenue for the second quarter was $61.1 million compared to $61.9 million in the prior year comparable quarter. Revenue on a same school basis increased by 3.2%, or $1.9 million.
|
· |
Educational Services and facilities expense decreased by $2.2 million, or 6.9% to $30.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $32.4 million in the prior year comparable period. The expense reductions were primarily due to the Transitional segment, which accounted for $2.1 million in the prior year and cost savings in facilities expense resulting from a reduction in square footage at one of the Company’s campuses. These cost savings were partially offset by an increase in spending on books and tools expense resulting from higher student population quarter over quarter.
|
· |
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $1.1 million, or 3.0%, to $34.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 from $35.6 million in the prior year comparable period. The expense reductions were due to the Transitional segment, which accounted for $1.3 million in the prior year.
|
· |
Net loss for the quarter decreased by $2.7 million to $4.1 million, or $0.17 per share, from $6.8 million, or $0.28 per share, in the prior year comparable quarter.
|
· |
Management continues to expect that student starts for 2018 are expected to increase by low single digits compared to prior year and excluding the 2017 Transitional segment.
|
· |
Management continues to expect revenue to increase by low single digits, compared to prior year and excluding the 2017 Transitional segment.
|
· |
Operating Income for 2018 is now expected to range between income of $1.0 million and a loss of $2.0 million.
|
· |
