Revenue increased $14.7 million, or 16.7% to $102.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $88.2 million in the prior year comparable period. The
primary reasons for this increase were an 11.7% rise in average student population resulting from entering the quarter with 11.2% more students combined with new student start growth of 12.3%. Further revenue growth was driven by an increase
in average revenue per student.
