Financing Receivables

9. Financing Receivables

Adtalem’s financing receivables consist of trade receivables related to institutional loan programs available to students at Chamberlain, AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM. These loan programs are designed to assist students who are unable to completely cover educational costs consisting of tuition, books, and fees, and are available only after all other student financial assistance has been applied toward those purposes. In addition, AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM loans may be used for students’ living expenses. Repayment plans for institutional loan program balances are developed to address the financial circumstances of the particular student. Interest charges at rates from 3.0% to 12.0% per annum accrue each month on the unpaid balance. Most students are required to begin repaying their loans while they are still in school with a minimum payment level designed to demonstrate their capability to repay, which reduces the possibility of over borrowing, and minimizes interest being accrued on the loan balance. Payments may increase upon completing or departing school. After a student leaves school, the student typically will have a monthly installment repayment plan. In addition, the Becker CPA Exam Review Course can be financed through Becker’s flexible payment plans with terms of up to 12-months.

Allowances for uncollectible loans are determined by analyzing the current aging of institutional loans and historical loss rates of loans at each institution. Management performs this analysis monthly and quarterly throughout the year. In evaluating the collectability of all our receivable balances, we set our bad debt reserves incorporating the most recent and updated circumstances, facts, and analytics. Changes in assumed collection rates will result in changes in the necessary reserves. Loans are considered nonperforming if they are more than 90 days past due. Since all of Adtalem’s institutional

loans are generated through the extension of credit to fund educational costs, all such receivables are considered part of the same loan portfolio.

The following table details the institutional loan balances along with the related allowances for credit losses (in thousands):

In connection with the completion of the sale of DeVry University, Adtalem loaned $10.0 million to DeVry University under the terms of the Note. The Note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable annually in arrears, and has a maturity date of January 1, 2022. The value of the DeVry University loan receivable included in other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019, June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using an average of current rates for similar arrangements, which is estimated at 4% per annum. Management has evaluated the collectability of this note and has determined no reserve is necessary.
