CORRECTED: CAREER EDUCATION CORPORATION REPORTS

RESULTS FOR 2004 FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END

 

Hoffman Estates, Ill. (February 15, 2005) – Career Education Corporation (Nasdaq:CECO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2004.  The company noted that its results include an adjustment related to an increase in the estimate for its allowance for doubtful accounts and a restatement for a change in revenue recognition method for its Culinary and Healthcare externships.  Additionally, the company provided updated information concerning the ongoing independent investigation being conducted by the special committee of its Board of Directors.

 

Significant Items

 

In connection with reporting its results for the fourth quarter of 2004, the company increased its estimate for its allowance for doubtful accounts.  The company periodically evaluates its receivables and establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts based on methodologies and assumptions, which the company reviews and modifies based on emerging information.  The company recently analyzed its receivables collection rates together with changes in financial aid funding sources and improved analytical tools, and determined it should increase its estimate for its allowance for doubtful accounts.

 



 

CECO Reports 4Q 2004 Results

 

As a result, the company recorded a non-cash, pre-tax charge for the change in accounting estimate of its allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $18.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2004.  This change in estimate does not affect prior period financial statements.  This additional charge, included in General and Administrative expense, less the related tax benefit of $7.6 million, represented $0.11 per diluted share in the quarter.  The bad debt expense, excluding the charge related to the change in accounting estimate, was 4.6% of total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

 

In addition, the company changed its method of revenue recognition related to its Culinary and Health Education externships.  These student externships are required to be taken at the end of certain academic programs, following the conclusion of in-school instruction, in order to satisfy graduation requirements. The new revenue recognition method recognizes tuition revenue through the end of the student’s externship period, while the prior practice recognized revenue only over the period of in-school academic instruction.  This change, as shown in the attached financial tables, results in a restatement of the company’s financial statements for 2000 through 2004.  The full-year and fourth quarter 2004 restatement resulted in a non-cash reduction of $11.5 million and $3.4 million in revenue and $0.06 and $0.02 per diluted share after taxes, respectively.  This revenue will be earned and recognized in subsequent periods net of student refunds.  The company noted that the restatement does not materially affect year-over-year growth percentages or trends for revenue and earnings per share as prior-period results have been restated to reflect this change.

Three Months Ended December 31

 

                  Fourth quarter 2004 total revenue increased 33% to $485.9 million from a restated $366.7 million for the same period last year.  The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to a 30% increase in same-school revenue driven by an increase in same-school population (21.5% increase at October 31st ) and an approximate 8% increase in average revenue per student during the fourth quarter.

 

                  Net income was $59.8 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, up 18% from last year’s fourth quarter restated net income of $50.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share.  Fourth quarter 2004 net income includes the following items:

                  Approximately $18.9 million of pre-tax General and Administrative expense is related to the aforementioned increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

                  Approximately $3.4 million of pre-tax revenue reduction is related to the aforementioned restatement for the externship revenue.

 

                  Approximately $4.9 million of pre-tax legal and other expenses related to the SEC investigation, investigation being conducted by the special committee of the Board of Directors, and shareholder class action and derivative lawsuits.

 

                  Approximately $2.2 million of pre-tax expense is related to CEC’s self-funded medical and dental plan.  The company adjusted its year-end accrual as actual costs were higher than previously anticipated for 2004, the first year these plans were self-funded.

 

                  Approximately $3.0 million of income is related to a reduction on our effective tax rate from 40.25% to 39.25%.  The lower tax rate was driven by a reduction in the company’s state income taxes and tax free investment earnings.  The effective state income tax rate was reduced by the mix of earnings and various state tax credits generated.

 

Twelve Months Ended December 31

 

                  Full year 2004 revenues increased 47% to $1.73 billion from $1.18 billion for the same period last year, after reflecting the externship revenue recognition restatement.  The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to a 33% increase in same-school revenue driven by an approximate average 25% increase in same-school population for the period and an approximate 4% increase in average revenue per student during the year.

 

                  Net income was $179.6 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, up 61% from $111.9 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, after adjusting for the 2-for-1 stock split effected in August 2003 and the externship revenue recognition restatement.  Full year 2004 net income includes the following items:

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

 

                  At December 31, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $348.1 million, compared with $161.2 million on December 31, 2003.  Short-term and long-term debt as of December 31, 2004 was $23.9 million.

 

                  Net cash provided by operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2004 was $114.5 million compared to $113.3 million for the same period of 2003.  The fourth quarter cash flow improvement was attributable primarily to the increase in net income.

 

                  Purchases of property and equipment for the quarter were $48.8 million and for the year were $142.8 million.  Purchases of property and equipment for 2004 represented approximately 8.3% of total revenues.

 

5



 

                  Quarterly days sales outstanding (DSOs) for total net receivables were 18 days at December 31, 2004.  This represents a 10-day decrease from the quarterly DSOs at December 31, 2003 of 28 days, reflecting the revenue recognition restatement. Before the increase in the allowance of doubtful accounts, quarterly days sales outstanding (DSOs) for total net receivables were 21 days at December 31, 2004.  We calculate DSOs by dividing the sum of net student receivables and net other receivables by average daily revenue.  Average daily revenue is computed by dividing quarterly “total revenue” by the total number of days in the quarter.

 

Population Data

 

                  Total CEC student population on January 31, 2005 was approximately 101,500, up 21% compared with approximately 84,100 on January 31, 2004.  On a same school basis, total CEC student population was up approximately 19.5%.

 

                  The aforementioned student population data excludes previously disclosed teach-outs related to the Academy division, but includes the effect of the restatement of the Culinary and Healthcare externship revenue recognition.  Students participating in externship programs are now included in our student population as we are recognizing revenue through the end of the externship period.  These externships were previously excluded from the company’s population statistics as the company was not earning revenue over the student externship period.

 

                  Total student population of CEC’s Online Education Group on January 31, 2005 was approximately 24,900, up from approximately 12,200 students on January 31, 2004. 

 

                  Fourth quarter 2004 new student starts were approximately 28,600.

Information Concerning Special Committee Investigation

 

                  As previously reported, our Board of Directors formed a special committee to conduct an independent investigation of allegations of securities laws violations against the company, including allegations relating to the company’s accounting practices and reported statistics relating to starts, student population and placement.  At that time, we announced that the special committee had retained the law firm of McDermott, Will & Emery LLP to represent and assist it in its review.  Additionally, it was previously reported that by the special committee’s direction, McDermott, Will & Emery retained Navigant Consulting, Inc. to assist in the investigation.  Navigant Consulting is providing independent forensic accounting services in connection with the special committee’s review of allegations relating to previously reported financial information and related matters.  At the request of the special committee, Navigant reviewed the company’s new methodology for estimating its allowance for doubtful accounts and found it to be reasonable.  The special committee investigation has not yet been completed.

Business Outlook

 

While we may make further acquisitions, none are contemplated by these forward-looking statements.

 

                  We expect full year 2005 revenues to be approximately $2.1 billion and full year 2005 earnings per share to be approximately $2.27.  Our full year earnings expectations include an approximate $0.05 per share impact for the effect of the externship revenue recognition change.  Additionally, the earnings expectations include higher costs for legal and regulatory matters.

 

                  We expect the Online Education Group’s full year 2005 revenues, included in the preceding amounts, to be approximately $600 million.

 

                  We expect full year 2005 operating profit margin improvement to be approximately 150 basis points.

 

                  We expect first quarter 2005 revenues to be approximately $500 million and first quarter 2005 earnings per share to be approximately $0.51.  We expect diluted weighted average shares outstanding to be approximately 105 million for first quarter 2005.

 

                  We expect bad debt levels to be approximately 5% of total revenue for 2005.

 

                  We expect our 2005 effective income tax rate will be approximately 39.25%.

 

                  We expect that 2005 capital expenditures will be approximately 7.5% of total revenue.
