Quarterly Results of Operations (Unaudited)
Quarterly Results of Operations (Unaudited)
Our operations are generally subject to seasonal trends, which vary depending on subsidiary. We have historically experienced, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in our results of operations as a result of seasonal variations in the level of our institutions’ enrollments.
•
University of Phoenix - Although University of Phoenix enrolls students throughout the year, its net revenue is generally lower in our second fiscal quarter (December through February) than the other quarters due to holiday breaks.
•
Apollo Global - Our Apollo Global subsidiaries experience seasonality associated with the timing of when courses begin, exam dates, the timing of their respective holidays and other factors. These factors have historically resulted in lower net revenue in our second and fourth fiscal quarters, particularly for BPP, which also results in substantially lower operating results during these quarters due to BPP’s relatively fixed cost structure.
The following unaudited consolidated quarterly financial information should be read in conjunction with other information included in our consolidated financial statements, and reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of interim periods. We have made certain reclassifications to the unaudited consolidated quarterly financial information associated with our presentation of IPD as discontinued operations. Refer to Note 3, Discontinued Operations.
