  • Ongoing risks from potential loss of Title IV eligibility, accreditation challenges, and borrower defense liabilities specific to this filing year

  • Revenue $846.1M, up 24.2% YoY (+$164.8M), driven by USAHS acquisition (+$147.5M) and CTU enrollment growth (+4.1%)
  • Operating income $196.0M, up 12.5% YoY ($174.3M prior); operating margin 23.2% vs 25.6%; adjusted operating income $237.6M vs $188.9M

Risk Factors

  • Regulatory risk: Compliance with revised 90-10 Rule including American Rescue Plan Act amendments, effective July 1, 2023, complicates calculation of federal revenue percentages, increasing risk of Title IV funding loss
  • Geopolitical/macroeconomic risk: Enrollment mix and unexpected changes in student funding sources directly affect 90-10 compliance, creating revenue eligibility uncertainty
  • Operational risk: Dependence on the Department’s student loan servicers amid repayment transition struggles and litigation impacting SAVE plan disrupts cohort default rate management
  • Legal risk: Ongoing litigation and regulatory uncertainty around Borrower Defense to Repayment (BDR) rules, including Supreme Court review and injunctions, threaten potential loan forgiveness liabilities
  • Financial risk: Institutions must maintain a Department “Composite Score” of at least 1.0 to avoid posting letters of credit or cash monitoring, reflecting liquidity and profitability pressures
