Grand Canyon Education, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2010 Results

At December 31, 2010 our enrollment was 41,482, compared to 37,709 at December 31, 2009.
Enrollment at December 31, 2010 represents individual students who attended a course during
the last two months of the calendar quarter. Prior to our transition to BBAY, enrollment had
been defined as individual students that attended a course in a term that was in session as of
the end of the quarter. We estimated that enrollment at December 31, 2009 under the revised
methodology would have been between 34,000 and 35,000. |

we made in lieu of state income taxes, operating income and operating margin for the fourth
quarter were $21.5 million and 21.5%, respectively. Excluding the estimated exit costs
associated with our closing of the Utah call center and the charitable contributions we made

of 2009. Excluding the $1.0 million and $0.8 million of contributions made in lieu of state
income taxes in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively, our effective tax rate
would have been 37.5% and 39.8% in the fourth quarter of 2010 and 2009, respectively. |

a contract with a related party net of taxes of $5.5 million, diluted net income per share was
$0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2010. Excluding the estimated exit costs net of taxes of
$0.7 million, diluted net income per share was $0.26 for the fourth quarter of 2009. |

related party and contributions made in lieu of state taxes, operating income was $83.8
million and operating margin was 21.7% for the year ended December 31, 2010. Excluding the
estimated litigation loss, estimated exit costs and contributions made in lieu of state taxes,
operating income was $53.7 million and operating margin was 20.5% for the year ended December
31, 2009. |
|
|
Adjusted EBITDA increased 55.4% to $101.2 million for fiscal 2010, compared to $65.1 million

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of December 31, 2010, the University had unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of $33.6 million compared to $63.1 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of
2009 and restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments at December 31, 2010 and 2009 of $52.9
million and $3.2 million, respectively. As a result of our move to BBAY, the University receives a
greater
proportion of student financial aid prior to the time courses have begun, which has resulted in the
shift of unrestricted cash to restricted cash and caused a significant increase in our restricted
cash amount between December 31, 2009 and 2010.
The University generated $84.1 million in cash from operating activities in fiscal year 2010
compared to $61.2 million in 2009. Cash provided by operations in 2010 and 2009 resulted from net
income plus non cash charges for provision for bad debts, depreciation and amortization, settlement
losses, exit costs, share-based compensation and improvement in working capital management.
Capital expenditures in 2010 of $62.6 million were primarily related to the expansion of our
physical campus and significant investments in technology innovation to support our students and
staff. In 2010, the University completed construction on a 55,000 square foot recreation center
for both student-athletes and on-campus students, a new dormitory that can hold up to 600 students,
and a new College of Education classroom building. The University started development on a 140,000
square foot arena that will open in September 2011, and a new 500 bed dormitory and a food court
each of which that will be completed in August 2011. During 2009, cash used in investing
activities was primarily related to the acquisition of our campus land and buildings in the amount
of $35.5 million. Other capital expenditures in 2009 were $24.8 million and primarily consisted of
purchases of computer equipment, leasehold improvements, infrastructure licenses to facilitate our
transition from Datatel to CampusVue and Great Plains, and office furniture and fixtures to support
our increasing employee headcounts, and a significant increase in internal use software
development. Cash used in financing activities in 2010 of $1.2 million primarily represented
principal payments on notes payable and capital leases partially offset by proceeds from option
exercises. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $24.7
million which was primarily driven from proceeds from our secondary offering of $14.9 million net
of issuance costs and proceeds from debt financing associated with the acquisition of our campus
land and buildings of $25.5 million, partially offset by the repurchase of shares of our common
stock of $14.5 million.

Grand Canyon Education, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2010 Results
GRAND CANYON EDUCATION, INC.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense net of interest income, plus income
tax expense, and plus depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as adjusted for (i) royalty payments
incurred pursuant to an agreement with our former owner that has been terminated as of April 15,
2008; (ii) contributions to Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of state income taxes,
which we typically make in the fourth quarter of a fiscal year; (iii) litigation losses, if any;
(iv) exit costs, if any; (v) contract termination fees, if any and (vi) share-based compensation.
We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our
operating performance. We also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our
operating performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, and our loan agreement requires us to comply
with covenants that include performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA. All of
the adjustments made in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are adjustments to items that management
does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. Management considers our core
operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period
through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating
operations during that period. Royalty expenses paid to our former owner, contributions made to
Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of the payment of state income taxes, estimated
litigation losses, exit costs, share-based compensation, and contract termination fees are not
considered reflective of our core performance.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA allows us to compare our current operating results with
corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our
industry because it does not give effect to potential differences caused by variations in capital
structures (affecting relative interest expense, including the impact of write-offs of deferred
financing costs when companies refinance their indebtedness), tax positions (such as the impact on
periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), the book
amortization of intangibles (affecting relative amortization expense), and other items that we do
not consider reflective of underlying operating performance. We also present Adjusted EBITDA
because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested
parties as a measure of performance.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, investors should be aware that in the future we may incur
expenses similar to the adjustments described above. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should
not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by expenses that are
unusual, non-routine, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and
you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or
any other performance measure derived in accordance with and reported under GAAP or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. Some of these
limitations are that it does not reflect:
|
|
|
cash expenditures for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; |
|
|
|
changes in, or cash requirement for, our working capital requirements; |
|
|
|
interest expense, or the cash required to replace assets that are being depreciated
or amortized; and |
|
|
|
the impact on our reported results of earnings or charges resulting from the items
for which we make adjustments to our EBITDA, as described above and set forth in the
table below. |
In addition, other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate these
measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative
measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute
for net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP,
or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. We
compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA
only supplementally.
