LEARNING TREE ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL YEAR 2010 RESULTS

Reston, VA — February 9, 2010 – Learning Tree International, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTRE) announced today its revenues and results of operations for its first quarter of fiscal year 2010, which ended January 1, 2010. Revenues for the quarter ended January 1, 2010 were $32.5 million, a 14% decrease from the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Learning Tree reported income from operations for the quarter of $3.9 million, compared to income from operations of $2.7 million for the same quarter of fiscal 2009. Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was $2.4 million, compared with net income of $1.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 were $0.18, compared with earnings per share of $0.11 for the same quarter of fiscal 2009.

“Our performance in our first quarter reflects significant benefits from profitability improvements and cost savings we have made during these challenging economic times,” commented Learning Tree President and CEO Nicholas R. Schacht. “We are pleased that these changes have resulted in increased profitability compared to a year earlier, and we look forward to being able to build on our strong financial base and market position to capitalize on opportunities as they arise.”

Mr. Schacht also commented on the continued roll-out of the Learning Tree AnyWare™ e-Learning platform: “We are pleased by our customers’ enthusiastic response to the introduction of AnyWare, which allows individuals located anywhere in the world to use an ordinary Internet connection to attend a live instructor-led class being conducted in a Learning Tree Education Center or at a customer location. Remote participants have real-time video of their instructor, their classmates and their instructor’s annotations. They participate fully in discussions, ask questions, collaborate in breakout sessions and complete the same hands-on exercises (with the same personal assistance from the instructor) as their classroom-based counterparts. Because of this complete involvement, AnyWare participants achieve the same level of knowledge and skill transfer as our in-class participants.”
