LINCOLN EDUCATIONAL SERVICES CORPORATION
|

Date: August 14, 2019

|
/s/ Brian K. Meyers

Brian K. Meyers

Title:
|
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer
|
|
and Treasurer
|
• |
Total revenue increased 4% to $63.6 million; same school revenue up 6.6%.
|
• |
Same school average student population rose approximately 5.8%.
|
• |
Same school student starts increased approximately 3.6%.
|
• |
Reiterates 2019 guidance.
|
• |
Total revenue for the second quarter increased by $2.5 million, or 4%, to $63.6 million. Revenue on a same school basis increased by 6.6%, or $3.9 million.
|
• |
Total student starts rose 2.5%, while same school student starts rose 3.6%. Transportation and Skilled Trades segment starts were up approximately 3.5% and Healthcare and Other Professions segment starts increased 3.7%. These
increases represent nearly two years of consistent student start growth.
|
• |
Educational services and facilities expense decreased by $0.4 million, or 1.4%, to $29.8 million. The expense reductions were primarily due to the Transitional segment, which accounted for $1.2 million in cost savings partially
offset by $0.8 million of increased instructional expenses related to our continued growth in student population in addition to increases in instructor salaries.
|
• |
Selling general and administrative expense increased by $1.4 million, or 4.2%, to $35.9 million. Excluding the Transitional segment, which had cost reductions of $1.1 million, selling, general and administrative expenses would have
increased $2.6 million. This increase was primary driven by additional bad debt expense, marketing expense and sales expense. Increased bad debt expense was a result of a growing student population, which drove an increase in accounts
receivable and the correlating bad debt expense. Marketing and sales increases were a result of initiatives implemented during the quarter designed to continue to drive start growth during the second half of the year.
|
• |
Operating loss improved by $1.4 million during the current quarter to $2.1 million from $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2018.
|
• |
Net loss for the quarter decreased by $1 million to $3.1 million, or $0.12 per share, as compared to $4.1 million, or $0.17 per share, for the prior year comparable period.
|
• |
Revenue and student starts are expected to increase 3% to 5% from the prior year, excluding the Transitional segment.
|
• |
Net income and EBITDA are projected to be approximately $2 million and $12 million, respectively.
