“We are pleased with our positive first quarter 2021 results. Our focus on student experiences, retention and academic outcomes, in particular through our ongoing technology initiatives, has helped us to effectively serve and educate our students as they progress through their academic programs,” said Todd Nelson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As the year progresses, we will continue to invest in various initiatives that meet the evolving professional needs of our non-traditional learners, including working adults.”

REVENUE

The Company experienced organic revenue growth across both CTU and AIU while growth at AIU also reflects the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Trident University International on March 2, 2020 (the “Trident acquisition”).

	For the Quarter Ended March 31,
Revenue ($ in thousands)	2021		2020		% Change
CTU	$	105,822	$	103,588		2.2	%
AIU ⁽¹⁾		77,477		67,396		15.0	%
Corporate and Other		339		10	NM
Total	$	183,638	$	170,994		7.4	%

(1)		AIU’s results of operations include the Trident acquisition commencing on the March 2, 2020 date of acquisition and therefore the quarter ended March 31, 2020 does not reflect a full quarter of results for Trident.

TOTAL STUDENT ENROLLMENTS

As of March 31, 2021, CTU’s and AIU’s total student enrollments increased 12.8 percent and 5.0 percent, respectively, as compared to the prior year quarter end. Contributing to this increase was consistent levels of prospective student interest that were well served by student-serving functions as well as the academic calendar redesign at CTU.

	As of March 31,
Total Student Enrollments	2021		2020		% Change
CTU		27,300		24,200		12.8	%
AIU		16,800		16,000		5.0	%
Total		44,100		40,200		9.7	%

OPERATING INCOME

Operating income increased by 8.9 percent to $40.6 million as compared to the prior year quarter supported by revenue growth as well as operating efficiencies at both CTU and AIU. AIU’s operating income was also positively impacted by the Trident acquisition.

	For the Quarter Ended March 31,
Operating Income ($ in thousands)	2021			2020			% Change
CTU	$	36,143		$	34,619			4.4	%
AIU ⁽¹⁾		11,323			9,376			20.8	%
Corporate and Other		(6,849	)		(6,692	)		-2.3	%
Total	$	40,617		$	37,303			8.9	%

(1)		AIU’s results of operations include the Trident acquisition commencing on the March 2, 2020 date of acquisition and therefore the quarter ended March 31, 2020 does not reflect a full quarter of results for Trident.

ADJUSTED OPERATING INCOME

The Company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude certain significant and non-cash items, as a means to understand the performance of its operations. (See table below and the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation attached to this press release for further details.)

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, adjusted operating income of $44.6 million increased 11.7 percent compared to adjusted operating income of $39.9 million for the prior year quarter. Partially offsetting the revenue growth and efficiencies within operating processes were increased investments in technology and student-serving processes.

	For the Quarter Ended March 31,
Adjusted Operating Income ($ in thousands)	2021			2020⁽¹⁾
Operating income	$	40,617		$	37,303
Depreciation and amortization		4,002			2,639
Adjusted Operating Income	$	44,619		$	39,942

Increase (Decrease)		*11.7*	%

(1)		Beginning in 2021, the Company no longer adjusts operating income for expenses related to the vacated facilities at closed campuses as these expenses are expected to be immaterial. The prior period amounts were recast to maintain comparability to 2021 non-GAAP measures.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER DILUTED SHARE

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded:

Net income of $30.8 million compared to $29.1 million for the prior year quarter.
Earnings per diluted share of $0.43 compared to $0.41 for the prior year quarter.
Adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.44 compared $0.41 for the prior year quarter. (See table below and the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation attached to this press release for further details.)

	For the Quarter Ended March 31,
	2021		2020 ⁽³⁾

Reported Earnings Per Diluted Share	$	0.43	$	0.41

Pre-tax adjustments included in operating expenses:
Amortization for acquired intangible assets ⁽¹⁾		0.01		-
Tax effect of adjustments ⁽²⁾		-		-
Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share	$	0.44	$	0.41

(1)		Amortization for acquired intangible assets relates to definite-lived intangible assets associated with the Trident acquisition.
(2)		The tax effect of adjustments was calculated by multiplying the pre-tax adjustments with a tax rate of 25.0%. This tax rate is intended to reflect federal and state taxable jurisdictions as well as the nature of the adjustments.
(3)		Beginning in 2021, the Company no longer adjusts earnings per diluted share for expenses related to vacated facilities at closed campuses as these expenses are expected to be immaterial. The prior period amounts were recast to maintain comparability to 2021 non-GAAP measures.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $44.7 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $44.8 million during the prior year quarter.
As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and available-for-sale short-term investments totaled $451.0 million and $410.4 million, respectively.

	For the Quarter Ended March 31,

OUTLOOK

The Company is providing the following outlook, subject to the key assumptions identified below. Please see the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation for adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per diluted share attached to this press release for further details.

	Total Company Outlook
	For Quarter Ending June 30,		For the Year Ending December 31,

Adjusted Earnings Per Diluted Share ⁽¹⁾	$0.39 - $0.40	$0.41	$1.58 - $1.64	$1.55

(1)		Beginning in 2021, the Company no longer adjusts operating income or earnings per diluted share for expenses related to vacated facilities at closed campuses as these expenses are expected to be immaterial. The prior period amounts were recast to maintain comparability to 2021 non-GAAP measures.

Operating income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to adjusted operating income, and earnings per diluted share may not follow the same trends stated in the outlook above because of adjustments made for certain significant and non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization and significant legal settlements. The operating income, adjusted operating income, earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share outlook provided above for 2021 are based on the following key assumptions and factors, among others: (i) prospective student interest in the Company’s programs remains consistent with recent experience, (ii) no significant changes in the timing and amounts of planned investments and initiatives continue to positively impact student enrollments, (iii) no significant impact of new or proposed regulations, including the “borrower defense to repayment” regulations, or other adverse changes in the legal or regulatory environment, (iv) no significant operating impacts from the settlements with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general or other legal or regulatory matters, (v) no significant future operating or financial impacts relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, (vi) earnings per diluted share outlook assumes an effective income tax rate of approximately 26.5% for the second quarter and full year, and (vii) any future impact from the Company’s stock repurchase program is excluded. Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s good faith beliefs regarding current and future circumstances and actions that may be undertaken, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. In addition, decisions the Company makes in the future as it continues to evaluate diverse strategies to enhance shareholder value may impact the outlook provided above.

PERDOCEO EDUCATION CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP ITEMS ⁽¹⁾ (cont’d)

(1)		The Company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain significant and non-cash items as a means to understand the performance of its operations. As a general matter, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP to help analyze the performance of its operations, assist with preparing the annual operating plan, and measure performance for some forms of compensation. In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze the Company’s historical results and to provide estimates of future performance.

		The Company believes adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per diluted share allow it to analyze and assess its operations and compare current operating results with the operational performance of other companies in its industry because it does not give effect to potential differences caused by items it does not consider reflective of underlying operating performance, such as amortization for acquired intangible assets and significant legal settlements. In evaluating adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per diluted share, investors should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses similar to the adjustments presented above. The presentation of adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by expenses that are unusual, non-routine or non-recurring. Adjusted operating income and adjusted earnings per diluted share have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, operating income, earnings per diluted share, or any other performance measure derived in accordance and reported under GAAP or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity.

		Non-GAAP financial measures, when viewed in a reconciliation to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide an additional way of viewing the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

(2)		Amortization for acquired intangible assets relate to definite-lived intangible assets associated with the Trident acquisition.

(3)		Beginning in 2021, the Company no longer adjusts operating income or earnings per diluted share for expenses related to vacated facilities at closed campuses as these expenses are expected to be immaterial. The prior period amounts were recast to maintain comparability to 2021 non-GAAP measures.

(4)		AIU’s results of operations include the Trident acquisition commencing on the March 2, 2020 date of acquisition and therefore the quarter ended March 31, 2020 does not reflect a full quarter of results for Trident.

(5)		The tax effect of adjustments was calculated by multiplying the pre-tax adjustments with a tax rate of 25.0%. This tax rate is intended to reflect federal and state taxable jurisdictions as well as the nature of the adjustments. There is no tax effect applied to the adjustment related to the release of the valuation allowance as this is an adjustment for income tax.

(6)		This relates to the release of a valuation allowance in the amount of $16.0 million as a result of the determination that it is more likely than not that the Company will utilize its deferred tax assets associated with the portion of the foreign tax credit carryforward supported by an overall domestic loss account balance.
