CAREER EDUCATION CORPORATION REPORTS
RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2013
Schaumburg, Ill. (February 27, 2014) – Career Education Corporation (NASDAQ: CECO) today reported operating and financial results for the fourth quarter of 2013, posting its fourth consecutive quarter of sequential improvement in the decline of new enrollments and total enrollment across its family of ongoing schools.
Non-financial metrics indicating positive trends for the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to fourth quarter of 2012, excluding Transitional Schools, include:
| | • | | New student enrollment growth for CTU (4%), Health Education (21%) and Design & Technology (12%), |
| | • | | a 49% improvement in the rate at which we convert a prospective student to a new student enrollment, cumulatively reflecting improvement across all segments, |
| | • | | higher student applications across all segments with a 38% overall improvement, |
| | • | | slight improvement in retention rates, and |
| | • | | a 2.1% decline in new student acquisition costs. |
“We continue to make solid operational progress in the turnaround of the Company,” said President and CEO Scott W. Steffey. “We had new student enrollment growth in the last part of the fourth quarter at CTU, Design & Technology, and Health Education and the early results in 2014 are encouraging, which I will speak to in more detail on the earnings call. Furthermore, we expect Culinary Arts’ total enrollments to improve as we mark the one year anniversary, in April, of the re-introduction of the associates program.”
The Company disclosed that operating expenses dropped by $59.0 million in the fourth quarter and by more than $200.0 million for the full year (excluding significant items disclosed in the non-GAAP reconciliation referred to below). Net cash used in operating activities dropped to $8.0 million in the fourth quarter versus $10.9 million in the third quarter and $52.8 million in the second quarter.
“We significantly reduced operating expenses, completed the sale of our International operations and continued winding down campuses in our Transitional Schools segment during 2013,” said Steffey. “There is still more room for operating expense reduction in 2014, without negatively impacting our improving results, over and above the Transitional School closures.”
Career Education reported total revenue of $247.1 million, and net loss of $30.6 million, or -$0.46 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to total revenue of $303.3 million and net loss of $61.5 million, or -$0.93 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full year 2013, total revenue of $1.06 billion, and net loss of $164.3 million, or -$2.46 per diluted share decreased from total revenue of $1.34 billion and net loss of $142.8 million, or -$2.15 per diluted share, for the full year 2012.
The Company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude certain significant items, as a means to understand the performance of its core business. On a non-GAAP basis, the loss per diluted share from continuing operations was-$0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to a loss per diluted share of -$0.54 for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, on a non-GAAP basis, the loss per diluted share from continuing operations was -$1.41 as compared to a loss per diluted share of -$0.67 for the year ended December 31, 2012. (See tables below and the GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation attached to this press release for further details.)

| | • | | During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded $15.7 million in legal settlements primarily related to a $15.5 million pending legal settlement within Culinary Arts. In addition, the Company recorded $7.0 million of non-cash asset impairments primarily within Design &Technology ($4.0) related to long-lived assets for ongoing schools ($2.3) and decisions made to exit certain leased facilities ($1.7), and within Transitional Schools ($2.5). The Company also recorded $1.8 million of severance and related costs in connection with both its reduction in force and campus closure actions. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded $40.8 million of non-cash asset impairments charges primarily within Transitional Schools ($28.3) and trade name impairment charges within Culinary Arts ($8.1) and Health Education ($3.5). The Company also recorded $13.1 million of severance and related charges related to its reduction in force and campus closure initiatives in the fourth quarter of 2012. |
| | • | | During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a $72.2 million valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. This non-cash charge, reducing the benefit from income taxes for continuing operations, is a result of the Company’s assessment of the realizability of its deferred tax assets over a certain period of time. A primary factor in the assessment is that the Company is in a cumulative loss position over the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. This valuation allowance can be reduced or reversed in the future as the Company returns to profitability. |
| | • | | Excluding the significant items in the table above, the operating loss was $34.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to $37.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The operating margin was -14.0 percent during the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to -12.4 percent during the fourth quarter of 2012. |

| | • | | The operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $214.7 million, versus an operating loss of $197.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The operating margins were -20.3 percent and -14.6 percent for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
| | • | | The loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, was $201.7 million, or -$3.02 per diluted share, compared to the loss from continuing operations of $149.0 million, or -$2.24 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2012. |

| (1) | The Company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain significant items as a means to understand the performance of its core business. As a general matter, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP to help analyze the performance of its core business, assist with preparing the annual operating plan, and measure performance for some forms of compensation. In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze the Company’s historical results and to provide estimates of future performance and that failure to report non-GAAP measures could result in a misplaced perception that the Company’s results have underperformed or exceeded expectations. |
Non-GAAP financial measures when viewed in a reconciliation to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides an additional way of viewing the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.
