Strategic Education, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2020 Results

HERNDON, Va.--()--Strategic Education, Inc. (Strategic Education) (NASDAQ: STRA) today announced financial results for the period ended June 30, 2020.

Karl McDonnell, Chief Executive Officer of Strategic Education said, “We are very proud of our staff and faculty’s ongoing commitment to help our students continue their educational journeys during the second quarter of 2020. As our organization continues to adapt to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain focused on maintaining the highest level of educational quality and access while investing in strategies and opportunities to support our mission of advancing career and economic mobility for all.”

UPDATE ON IMPACT OF PANDEMIC

The Company continues to take action to ensure the health and well-being of its students and employees during the ongoing pandemic. Current measures taken, which have been informed by guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other public health and government authorities, include:

  • Continuing 100% work from home for campus and most corporate office staff
  • Continued closure of all Strayer University campuses and Capella University Campus Centers
  • Shifting Strayer University’s on-ground campus class schedule to fully online through the Fall 2020 term (Capella University classes are already entirely online)
  • Postponing large student events, such as graduation ceremonies, and restructuring or rescheduling most Capella University residencies through the Summer 2020 term
  • Limiting all non-essential employee travel, large meetings, and events

The Company is continuing to provide financial relief to students and employer partners as they experience the negative impact of the pandemic. These measures, which include payment flexibility, scholarship opportunities, and other pricing relief, are likely to result in a full-year revenue-per-student decline of approximately one percent.

Finally, the Company maintains a solid financial foundation, with over $500 million in cash, $250 million of undrawn credit, and projected continued quarterly cash generation. Accordingly, the Company has maintained the position that it will not accept any financial support from the Federal or state pandemic related relief programs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In our press release and schedules, we report certain financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). We discuss management's reasons for reporting these non-GAAP measures below, and the press release schedules that follow reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each non-GAAP measure that we reference. Although management evaluates and presents these non-GAAP measures for the reasons described below, please be aware that these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for revenue, total costs and expenses, income from operations, operating margin, net income, earnings per share or any other comparable financial measure prescribed by GAAP. In addition, we may calculate and/or present these non-GAAP financial measures differently than measures with the same or similar names that other companies report, and as a result, the non-GAAP measures we report may not be comparable to those reported by others.

Management uses certain non-GAAP measures to evaluate financial performance because those non-GAAP measures allow for period-over-period comparisons of the Company’s ongoing operations before the impact of certain items described below. These measures are Adjusted Total Costs and Expenses, Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS). We define Adjusted Total Costs and Expenses, Adjusted Income from Operations, Adjusted Operating Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted Diluted EPS to exclude (1) amortization and depreciation expense related to intangible assets and software assets associated with the Company’s merger with Capella Education Company, (2) integration expenses associated with the Company's merger with Capella Education Company, and transaction expenses associated with potential future business combinations, (3) income recognized from the Company’s investments in partnership interests and other investments, and (4) discrete tax adjustments utilizing an adjusted effective tax rate of 27.5% and 28.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively. We define EBITDA as net income before other income, the provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and from this amount in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA we also exclude stock-based compensation expense and the amounts in (2) above. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measures in the sections that follow. Non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as substitutes for GAAP measures.
