Audited Financial Results

● During the year ended December 31, 2023, overall revenue totaled $23.1 million, or an increase of 27%, compared to $18.2 million in the previous year. This was driven by an increase in Education Revenue of 37% from $13.6 million to $18.6 million and decrease in campus revenue by 4% from $4.6 million in 2022 to $4.5 million in 2023 as a result of the ERL spin off.

● Operating expenses decreased to $48.3 million in 2023 compared to $51.1 million in 2022. The decrease in our operating expenses is the result of lower impairments offset by continued investment in our business.
