At St. Augustine, we were pleased with our spring term performance as we remain focused on preparing health care professionals to serve and provide quality medical care to communities across the country."

    CAPITAL ALLOCATION

    During the first quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased just under 1.0 million shares of our common stock for $25.2 million at an average price of $25.58 per share and made capital expenditures of $1.7 million. As of March 31, 2025, approximately $21.9 million was available under our authorized stock repurchase program, which is set to expire on September 30, 2025.

    The board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share, which will be paid on June 13, 2025 for holders of record of common stock as of June 1, 2025. Any decision to pay future cash dividends, however, will be made by the board of directors and depend on the Company's available retained earnings, financial condition and other relevant factors. The Company expects quarterly dividend payments to be an integral and growing part of its balanced capital allocation strategy that also prioritizes investments in student support and technology projects, while also evaluating acquisitions and share repurchases.

    BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

    • For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $65.1 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $54.5 million for the prior year quarter.
    • As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale short-term investments totaled $612.2 million and $591.5 million, respectively.

    Operating income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted operating income, and earnings per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted earnings per diluted share, may not follow the same trends stated in the outlook above because of adjustments made for certain non-cash items. The operating income, adjusted operating income, earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share outlook provided above for 2025 are based on the following key assumptions and factors, among others: (i) prospective student interest in the Company's programs and trends in student retention and engagement remain consistent with management's recent experiences and future expectations, (ii) no significant impact from new or proposed regulations, or from updated interpretations of current regulation, administrative actions by or changes in the structure of federal agencies or other adverse changes in the legal or regulatory environment, which may require operational changes in the way the Company's academic institutions attract, connect with, enroll, support and educate current and prospective students, among other impacts, (iii) no significant operating impacts from the settlement with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission or other legal or regulatory matters, (iv) the positive impact on total enrollments from various student loan initiatives implemented by the prior administration remains consistent with management's estimates, (v) no material disruptions to the availability of the current levels of federal student aid whether due to the restructuring of federal agencies, staffing related changes or layoffs or changes to congressional funding priorities, (vi) earnings per diluted share outlook assumes an effective income tax rate of approximately 26.5% for the second quarter and approximately 26.0% for the full year, and (vii) excludes any future impact from the Company's stock repurchase program. Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management's good faith beliefs regarding current and future circumstances and actions that may be undertaken, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. In addition, decisions the Company makes in the future as it continues to evaluate diverse strategies to enhance stockholder value may impact the outlook provided above.

    PERDOCEO EDUCATION CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

    UNAUDITED RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP ITEMS (1) (cont'd)

     

    (1)

    The Company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures which may exclude certain non-cash items as a means to understand the core 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 and adjusted earnings per diluted share allow it to analyze and assess its 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 depreciation and amortization. The Company believes the items it is adjusting for are not normal operating expenses necessary to run its business. In evaluating adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per diluted share, 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 and adjusted earnings per diluted share 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 and adjusted earnings per diluted share have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, operating income, earnings per diluted share, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with 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.

     

    Results of operations include the USAHS acquisition as of December 2, 2024.

     

    (2)

    Amortization for acquired intangible assets relate to definite-lived intangible assets associated with acquisitions.

     

    (3)

    The tax effect of adjustments was calculated by multiplying the pre-tax adjustments with a tax rate of 25.0%. This tax rate is intended to reflect federal and state taxable jurisdictions as well as the nature of the adjustments.
