• | Financial highlights for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 included the following: |
◦ | Net revenues were $638.9 million, a decrease of 9.1% from $702.5 million recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily due to an 11.4% decline in average enrolled student body for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the prior year quarter. |
◦ | The Company recorded a net loss of $284.0 million, or $2.28 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $417.1 million, or $3.31 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter. The prior year quarter included a goodwill impairment charge of $495.4 million. |
◦ | As noted in the table below, the Company incurred long-lived asset impairments, a loss on debt refinancing, and a reversal of an uncertain tax position liability in both the current quarter and the prior year quarter, as well as a restructuring charge in the prior year quarter. After adjusting for these expenses, net income would have been $30.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the current quarter compared to net income of $41.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. |
◦ | Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was a loss of $206.9 million compared to a loss of $376.3 million in the prior year quarter. After adjusting for impairment charges, a debt refinancing charge and restructuring charges described below, EBITDA would have been $122.0 million in the current quarter compared to $134.5 million in the prior year quarter. |

• | On March 5, 2013, the Company completed an offer to exchange the 8.75% Senior Notes due June 1, 2014 ("Old Notes") for new Senior Cash Pay/PIK Notes due July 1, 2018 ("New Notes") and cash. In connection with this exchange offer and a simultaneous private exchange on the same terms, the Company issued $203.0 million of New Notes and paid down $162.3 million of Old Notes with cash on |
• | Despite lower operating performance in the current period, cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 were $286.2 million compared to $152.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Current year operating cash flows were comparatively higher primarily due to a transfer of $210.0 million to restricted cash in the prior year quarter in connection with the issuance of letters of credit under the Company's cash secured letter of credit facilities, which reduced the prior year period's cash flow from operating activities. The cash secured letter of credit facilities are being used to help satisfy the Company's previously disclosed letter of credit requirement with the U.S. Department of Education. |
• | At March 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents were $183.6 million, compared to $287.5 million at March 31, 2012. |
• | On a cash basis, capital expenditures were $64.6 million, or 3.4% of net revenues, for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $64.7 million, or 3.0% of net revenues, in the same period in the prior year. |
