Grand Canyon Education, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2012 Results
For the three months ended December 31, 2012:
| • | Net revenue increased 25.0% to $141.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $113.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2011. |
| • | At December 31, 2012, our enrollment was approximately 52,300, an increase of 19.1% from our enrollment of approximately 43,900 at December 31, 2011. Ground enrollment increased 52.1% to approximately 7,600 from enrollment of approximately 5,000 at December 31, 2011. |
| • | Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $33.2 million, an increase of 42.6% as compared to $23.3 million for the same period in 2011. The operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 23.5%, compared to 20.6% for the same period in 2011. Excluding the contributions we made in lieu of state income taxes, operating income and operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $35.2 million and 24.9%, respectively. Excluding the contributions we made in lieu of state income taxes, operating income and operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2011 were $24.3 million and 21.5%, respectively. |

The low effective tax rates in the fourth quarters of both 2012 and 2011 were primarily due to the University making contributions of $2.0 million in 2012 and $1.0 million in 2011 to school tuition organizations in lieu of state income taxes, which had the effect of increasing operating expenses and decreasing income tax expenses. |
| • | Net income increased 36.4% to $20.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $15.3 million for the same period in 2011. |
| • | Diluted net income per share was $0.46 for the fourth quarter of 2012, compared to $0.34 for the same period in 2011. |
For the year ended December 31, 2012:

| • | Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $114.1 million, an increase of 38.8% as compared to $82.2 million for the same period in 2011. The operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2012 was 22.3%, compared to 19.3% for the same period in 2011. Excluding the contributions we made in lieu of state income taxes, operating income and operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $116.1 million and 22.7%, respectively. Excluding the contributions we made in lieu of state income taxes, operating income and operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $83.2 million and 19.5%, respectively |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA increased 39.3% to $149.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $107.4 million for the same period in 2011. |

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of December 31, 2012, the University had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $105.1 million compared to $21.2 million at December 31, 2011 and restricted cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of $56.2 million and $56.7 million, respectively.
In December 2012, the University entered into a new credit agreement, which refinanced our prior indebtedness, with multiple lenders. This credit facility increased our term loan to $100 million with a maturity date of December 2019 and decreased the interest rate on the outstanding balance from the BBA Libor Rate plus 200 basis points to the BBA Libor Rate plus 175 basis points, with monthly principal and interest payments. Additionally, this facility provides a revolving line of credit in the amount of $50 million through December 2017 to be utilized for working capital, capital expenditures, share repurchases and other general corporate purposes. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by our assets and is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. No amounts were drawn on the revolver as of December 31, 2012.
The University generated $144.2 million in cash from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $88.0 million for the same period in 2011. Cash provided by operating activities in 2012 and 2011 resulted from our net income plus non-cash charges for provision for bad debts, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation and improvement in our working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities was $131.5 million and $75.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Our cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment, leasehold improvements, and the purchase of two real estate related assets that we plan to develop and then sell to third parties during the next six months. Capital expenditures were $97.7 million and $80.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In 2012, capital expenditures primarily consisted of construction costs associated with two additional dormitories, an Arts and Sciences classroom building, a remodel of our student union, and a parking garage to support our increasing traditional student enrollment as well as purchases of computer equipment, internal use software projects and furniture and equipment to support our increasing employee headcount. Also, in 2012 we purchased an on campus dormitory that was previously leased. In 2011, capital expenditures completed consisted of a 140,000 square foot/5,000 seat basketball and entertainment arena, a student activity center that contains a food court, a bowling alley, and other student services, and a new dormitory, as well as campus improvements to support our growing on-campus student population, purchases of computer equipment, leasehold improvements, infrastructure licenses and software development costs, and office furniture and fixtures to support our increasing employee headcounts. In 2011 expenditures were partially offset by a $5.4 million decrease in restricted cash as a result of payment of the settlement amount related to the qui tam legal matter in June 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $71.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net cash used in financing activities was $25.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. During 2012, we received $99.2 million from our new credit facility and $8.0 million from the exercise of stock options, which was partially offset by $21.7 million used for principal payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations and $15.2 million to repurchase our common stock. During 2011, $23.1 million was used to repurchase our common stock and principal payments on notes payable and capital leases totaled $3.7 million.

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) the amortization of prepaid royalty payments recorded in conjunction with a settlement of a dispute with our former owner; (ii) contributions to Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of the payment of state income taxes, which we typically make in the fourth quarter of a fiscal year; (iii) litigation and regulatory reserves, if any (iv) exit costs, if any; (v) contract termination fees, if any; (vi) lease termination costs, if any; and (vii) 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 and regulatory reserves, exit costs, contract and lease termination fees, and share-based compensation 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.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure for the periods indicated:
