DeVry Announces Sale and Leaseback of Houston Facility

Continues to rebalance capacity

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DeVry Inc. (NYSE: DV), a global provider of educational services, announced today that it has completed a sale-leaseback transaction at its Houston, Texas, facility. This is part of DeVry University’s ongoing strategy of rebalancing capacity.

On February 29, 2008, DeVry University completed the sale of its 98,000 square foot Houston campus for approximately $14.5 million. DeVry will leaseback approximately 60 percent of the original space, thereby reducing facility operating expenses, but go-forward lease costs will exceed prior depreciation expense. In addition, an accounting gain from the sale of the facility of $2.2 million will be recognized ratably over the 12-year lease period. Overall, net income should improve by approximately $200 thousand per year as a result of the transaction.

“This is another example of how DeVry University is unlocking economic value while working to meet student demand in each of the markets we serve,” said Daniel Hamburger, president and chief executive officer, DeVry Inc. “While in some locations we are reducing our square footage, we are also adding new locations in order to reach more students.”
