LEARNING TREE INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES

THIRD QUARTER 2017 RESULTS

HERNDON, VA., August 8, 2017 – Learning Tree International, Inc. (OTCQX: LTRE) announced today its revenues and results of operations for its third quarter 2017, which ended June 30, 2017.

In its third quarter of fiscal year 2017, Learning Tree reported revenues of $16.4 million, loss from operations of $0.5 million, and a net loss of $0.9 million, or $(0.07) per share. These results compare with revenues of $21.1 million, loss from operations of $3.0 million, and net loss of $2.8 million, or $(0.21) per share, in Learning Tree’s third quarter of fiscal year 2016. The 22.2% decline in revenues for our third quarter of fiscal year 2017 when compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2016, was partially offset by a 27.7% reduction in cost of revenues. Total operating expenses decreased 31.8% quarter over quarter, from $10.8 million to $7.4 million.

For the first nine months of fiscal year 2017, Learning Tree reported revenues of $51.0 million, loss from operations of $3.1 million, and a net loss of $3.6 million, or $(0.27) per share. These results compare with revenues of $59.9 million, loss from operations of $10.5 million, and a net loss of $10.5 million, or $(0.79) per share, for the first nine months of fiscal year 2016. The results for the first nine months of fiscal year 2017 includes an additional restructuring charge of $0.4 million related to our Reston, Virginia facility due to changes in estimates used to calculate the original charge. Excluding the restructuring charge, the loss from operations for the first nine months of fiscal year 2017 would have been $2.7 million.

At June 30, 2017, our capital resources consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million. We have entered into a financing and security agreement that provides us with access to borrow through advances of funds up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $3.0 million. To date, we have not borrowed any funds under the financing and security agreement.
