LINCOLN EDUCATIONAL SERVICES CORPORATION
|

Date: November 7, 2022

By:
|
/s/ Brian K. Meyers
|
Name:
|
Brian K. Meyers
|
|
Title:
|
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
|
• |
Revenue of $91.8 million
|
• |
Net income of $3.5 million
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA* of $7.4 million
|
• |
Earnings per share of $0.10
|
• |
Cash of $69.6 million and debt free
|
• |
Repurchased 668,440 shares of Company common stock for $4.2 million
|
• |
Revenue increased $2.7 million, or 3.1% to $91.8 million from $89.1
million in the prior year. The revenue increase was driven by a 5.9% increase in average revenue per student which more than offset the 2.7% decline in the average student population. The decline in average student population resulted
from the reduction in student starts of 9.2%. The higher revenue per student resulted from tuition increases combined with more efficient program delivery through the roll-out of the Company’s new hybrid teaching model. The hybrid model
delivers higher daily revenue rates in certain programs as their overall duration can be shortened.
|
• |
Educational services and facilities expense increased $1.8 million, or
4.8% to $39.9 million from $38.1 million in the prior year. Increased costs were primarily concentrated in instructional expense and facilities expense. Instructional salaries increased due to higher staffing levels in addition to
expenses incurred in connection with the transition to our new hybrid teaching model. Facility expenses increased due to $0.8 million of additional rent expense associated with our Denver and Grand Prairie campuses incurred as a
consequence of the sale leaseback transaction of such campuses consummated in the fourth quarter of 2021.
|
• |
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $1.8 million, or
3.9% to $47.0 million from $45.2 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by several factors including increased headcount, higher salaries, higher medical claims, severance expense to better align our cost structure in certain
functions, additional spending for the centralization of financial aid expected to be completed by year-end, and one-time expenses in connection with growth initiatives.
|
• |
Total revenue increased $9.0 million, or 3.6%, to $256.5 million, compared to $247.5 million.
|
• |
Transportation and Skilled Trades segment revenue increased $6.5 million, or 3.7%, to $184.1 million, compared to $177.6 million.
|
• |
The Healthcare and Other Professions segment revenue increased $2.5 million, or 3.6%, to $72.4 million, compared to $69.9 million.
|
• |
Revenue in the range of $340 million to $350 million.
|
• |
Student start decline / growth in the range of -3% to 3%.
|
• |
Adjusted EBITDA* in the range of $25 million to $30 million.
|
• |
Net income in the range of $10 million to $15 million.
|
• |
Capital expenditures in the range of $8 million to $11 million.
