    LANHAM, Md., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 2U, Inc. (NASDAQ:TWOU), a leading online education platform company, today reported financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

    "With our leading position in the education industry, 2U has a significant opportunity to respond to and support the current technology moment, where advances in generative AI are driving strong demand for workforce development," said Paul Lalljie, Chief Executive Officer of 2U. "In order to make the most of this opportunity, we are focused on ensuring that we have the right operating model, an effective and efficient organization and cost structure, the right products, and a balance sheet that provides a sound financial foundation for the future. We continued to make progress on all of these fronts in the quarter while launching 42 new degree programs and building on our momentum in executive education."

    "While we are pleased that first quarter results were better than our expectations, significant work remains to execute our turnaround," added Matthew Norden, Chief Financial Officer of 2U. "We continue to deliver strong growth in our executive education offerings and are pursuing additional operating efficiencies across the business by reducing personnel expense, rationalizing our real estate footprint and lowering delivery costs. We believe our increased cash position of $137 million, together with the kick-off of our performance improvement initiatives, put us in a strong position to fix our balance sheet."

    Results for First Quarter 2024 compared to First Quarter 2023

    • Revenue decreased 17% to $198.4 million
    • Degree Program Segment revenue decreased 21% to $111.5 million
    • Alternative Credential Segment revenue decreased 11% to $86.8 million
    • Net loss was $54.6 million, or $0.65 per share

    Non-GAAP Results for First Quarter 2024 compared to First Quarter 2023

    • Adjusted EBITDA decreased 43% to $17.3 million; a margin of 9%
    • Adjusted net loss was $18.1 million, or $0.22 per share

    Discussion of 2024 Results

    Revenue for the quarter totaled $198.4 million, a 17% decrease from $238.5 million in the first quarter of 2023. Revenue from the Degree Program Segment decreased $28.9 million, or 21%. This decrease was primarily due to certain programs operating in 2023 that are no longer operating in 2024 due to portfolio management activities. Revenue from the Alternative Credential Segment decreased $11.2 million, or 11%. This decrease was primarily due to a $21.9 million decrease in revenue from the company's boot camp offerings driven by a 30% decrease in FCE enrollments, particularly in coding boot camps. This decrease was partially offset by an $11.0 million increase in revenue from the company's executive education offerings driven by a 32% increase in FCE enrollments.

    Costs and expenses for the quarter totaled $225.7 million, a 13% decrease from $258.7 million in the first quarter of 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a $29.5 million decrease in personnel and personnel-related expense, a $5.6 million decrease in paid marketing costs, and a $5.3 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense. These decreases were partially offset by a $7.0 million increase in costs to implement the company's comprehensive performance improvement initiative.

    As of March 31, 2024, the company's cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $137.4 million, an increase of $64.0 million from $73.4 million as of December 31, 2023. This increase includes net proceeds of $74.0 million from the previously announced receivables transaction. As of March 31, 2024, the company's total debt was $906.4 million, including borrowings of $40.0 million under the company's revolving credit facility.

    Forward-Looking Guidance

    The company reaffirmed its full-year 2024 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance provided on February 12, 2024 and updated its guidance for net loss as follows:

    Full-year 2024

    • Revenue to range from $805 million to $815 million
    • Net loss to range from $103 million to $98 million
    • Adjusted EBITDA to range from $120 million to $125 million

      The company is providing its second quarter guidance as follows:

    Second quarter 2024

    • Revenue to range from $191 million to $194 million
    • Net loss to range from $37.5 million to $32.5 million
    • Adjusted EBITDA to range from $16 million to $18 million

    The company is implementing and continuing to refine its comprehensive performance improvement initiative, the potential results of which are not fully reflected in the guidance above.  In addition, guidance assumes the following: (i) no new portfolio management activities in 2024 and (ii) revenue from 2023 portfolio management activities of $15 million in full-year 2024.

    For full-year 2024, we anticipate approximately $45 million in capital expenditures and weighted average shares outstanding of 85 million.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    To provide investors and others with additional information regarding 2U's results, the company has disclosed the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA (loss), adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted free cash flow, adjusted unlevered free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per share. The company has provided a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure used in this earnings release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The company defines adjusted EBITDA (loss) as net income or net loss, as applicable, before net interest income (expense), other income (expense), net, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, transaction costs, integration costs, performance improvement initiative implementation expense, restructuring-related costs, stockholder activism costs, certain litigation-related costs, consisting of fees for certain non-ordinary course litigation and other proceedings, impairment charges, debt modification expense and loss on debt extinguishment, and stock-based compensation expense. The company defines adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. The company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less capital expenditures, payments to university clients, and certain non-ordinary cash payments. The company defines adjusted unlevered free cash flow as adjusted free cash flow less cash interest payments on debt. The company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net income or net loss, as applicable, before other income (expense), net, acquisition-related gains or losses, deferred revenue fair value adjustments, transaction costs, integration costs, restructuring-related costs, stockholder activism costs, certain litigation-related costs, consisting of fees for certain non-ordinary course litigation and other proceedings, impairment charges, debt modification expense and loss on debt extinguishment, and stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted net income (loss) per share is calculated as adjusted net income (loss) divided by diluted weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for periods that result in adjusted net income and basic weighted-average shares outstanding for periods that result in an adjusted net loss. Some of the adjustments described above may not be applicable in any given reporting period and may vary from period to period.

    The company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, to understand cash that is generated by or available for operational expenses and investment in the business after capital expenditures, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, for short- and long-term operating plans, and to evaluate the company's financial performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect the company's ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of trends in the company's business as they exclude expenses that are not reflective of ongoing operating results. Management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the company's operating results and prospects in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of peer companies.

    The use of adjusted EBITDA (loss), adjusted free cash flow, adjusted unlevered free cash flow, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted net income (loss) per share measures has certain limitations, as they do not reflect all items of income and expense that affect the company's operations. The company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Management encourages investors and others to review the company's financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
