Grand Canyon Education, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2013 Results
For the three months ended March 31, 2013:
| • | Net revenue increased 21.3% to $142.0 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $117.1 million for the first quarter of 2012. |
| • | At March 31, 2013, our enrollment was approximately 53,600, an increase of 15.7% from our enrollment of approximately 46,300 at March 31, 2012. Ground enrollment increased 44.6% to approximately 7,300 from enrollment of approximately 5,000 at March 31, 2012. |
| • | Operating income for the first quarter of 2013 was $33.6 million, an increase of 38.9% as compared to $24.2 million for the same period in 2012. The operating margin for the first quarter of 2013 was 23.7%, compared to 20.7% for the same period in 2012. |
| • | Adjusted EBITDA increased 34.0% to $41.7 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $31.1 million for the same period in 2012. |
| • | The tax rate in the first quarter of 2013 was 40.4% compared to 39.7% in the first quarter of 2012. |
| • | Net income increased 44.8% to $20.9 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $14.5 million for the same period in 2012. Included in interest income and other gains in the three months ended March 31, 2013 is $2.2 million related to a settlement of a note receivable that was collateralized by real estate, one property of which is adjacent to the University’s campus. Excluding the impact of this settlement, net of taxes, net income would have been $19.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. |
| • | Diluted net income per share was $0.46 for the first quarter of 2013, compared to $0.32 for the same period in 2012. Diluted net income per share would have been $0.43, excluding the impact, net of taxes, of the settlement of the note receivable during the first quarter of 2013. |
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of March 31, 2013, the University had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and investments of $151.5 million compared to $105.1 million at December 31, 2012 and restricted cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 of $49.9 million and $56.2 million, respectively.
The University generated $31.7 million in cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $50.8 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease in cash generated from operating activities between the three months ended March 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to the timing of income tax and employee related payments.
Net cash used in investing activities was $10.8 million and $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment and short-term investments, partially offset by proceeds received from the settlement of a note receivable. Capital expenditures were $14.7 million and $16.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2013, capital expenditures primarily consisted of ground campus building projects such as the construction costs of two additional dormitories and an expansion of our food services and library to support our traditional student enrollment as well as purchases of computer equipment, other internal use software projects and furniture and equipment to support our increasing employee headcount. 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 as well as purchases of computer equipment, internal use software projects and furniture and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.7 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the first three months of 2013 proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $5.9 million and excess tax benefits from share-based compensation of $3.5 million were partially offset by $6.0 million used to purchase treasury stock in accordance with the University’s share repurchase program and principal payments on notes payable and capital leases that totaled $1.7 million. During the first three months of 2012 proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $2.3 million were partially offset by principal payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations of $0.8 million.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
The University also announced today that the Company’s Board of Directors has increased the authorization under its existing stock repurchase program by $25.0 million ($75.0 million total) and also extended the expiration date on the repurchase authorization to September 30, 2014. The Company had less than $3.4 million left under its initial $50.0 million authorization as of May 7, 2013. Accordingly, the Company may repurchase from time to time at management’s discretion approximately $3.4 million of the Company’s common stock, which is what is left under the initial authorizations and an additional $25.0 million during the period ending September 30, 2014, unless such period is extended or shortened by the Board of Directors.
The purchases may be made in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements. The level of purchase activity is subject to market conditions and other investment opportunities. The plan does not obligate Grand Canyon Education to acquire any particular amount of common stock and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The repurchase program may be funded using the Company’s available cash, short-term investments and revolving credit facility.

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) share-based compensation and (iv) one-time, unusual charges or gains, such as litigation and regulatory reserves, exit or lease termination costs or the gain recognized on the settlement of the note receivable. 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, unusual gains from settlements of receivables, 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:
