Adtalem Global Education Announces Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Results
Revenue increased 3.8% from prior year as COVID-19 impacted results in third and fourth quarters
Company continues to enhance portfolio and position itself for future growth
CHICAGO – August 18, 2020 – Adtalem Global Education Inc. (NYSE: ATGE), a leading workforce solutions provider, today reported academic, operating and financial results for its fiscal 2020 fourth quarter and full year ended June 30, 2020.
“Fiscal 2020 was another pivotal year for Adtalem as we worked to advance our Workforce Solutions Provider strategy, beginning with the divestiture of our Brazil assets, which further streamlined Adtalem to drive significant shareholder value while also fortifying our balance sheet. Although we faced significant headwinds as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second half of the year, our teams reacted quickly, leveraging our existing infrastructure to transition 15,000 on-campus students to our online platforms with minimal disruption, bringing the total number of online students to 40,000 students. The transition to virtual modalities across our businesses was very successful, enabling us to not only maintain superior academic outcomes for learners, but to also open up new opportunities to serve our institutional and employer partners,” said Lisa Wardell, chairman and CEO of Adtalem.
“We continue to strategically position the company for future growth. We have streamlined the portfolio to provide comprehensive solutions to employers in both medical and healthcare and financial services – industries where supply and demand imbalances will drive growth in upskilling, certifications, and degree enrollment. The pandemic has allowed us to leverage our robust e-learning capabilities and drive continued progress in solving complex issues for hospital systems and proactively assisting financial institutions as they respond to accelerated digital banking and cryptocurrency risk and compliance issues while navigating the “new normal” of increased digital banking and virtual assets,” concluded Wardell.
Financial Highlights
Selected financial data for the three months ended June 30, 2020:
● | Revenue of $259.7 million decreased 1.7% compared with the prior year, reflecting negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic |
● | New and total May student enrollments in Medical and Healthcare increased 5.9% and 6.9%, respectively |
● | Diluted loss per share was $4.86 compared with diluted earnings per share of $0.86 in the prior year; diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding special items, was $0.58, compared to $0.66 in the prior year |
● | Operating income from continuing operations was $21.7 million compared with $54.8 million in the prior year; operating income from continuing operations, excluding special items, was $40.0 million, a 23.2% decrease compared with the prior year, reflecting negative impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic |
● | Net loss attributable to Adtalem was $256.1 million, driven by a loss from discontinued operations of $327.6 million, compared with net income attributable to Adtalem of $49.5 million in the prior year; net income from continuing operations attributable to Adtalem, excluding special items, was $30.5 million, a 19.3% decrease compared with the prior year |
Selected financial data for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020:
● | Revenue of $1,052.0 million increased 3.8% compared with the prior year |
● | Diluted loss per share was $1.58 compared with diluted earnings per share of $1.60 in the prior year; diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, excluding special items, was $2.28, compared to $2.29 in the prior year |
● | Operating income from continuing operations was $142.3 million compared with $155.8 million in the prior year; operating income from continuing operations, excluding special items, was $166.1 million, a 9.1% decrease compared with the prior year |
● | Net loss attributable to Adtalem was $85.3 million, driven by a loss from discontinued operations of $329.3 million, compared with net income attributable to Adtalem of $95.2 million in the prior year; net income from continuing operations attributable to Adtalem, excluding special items, was $123.5 million, a 9.3% decrease compared with prior year |
● | COVID-19 negatively impacted certain aspects of our business in both our segments. We estimate the negative impact of COVID-19 to fiscal year 2020 revenue of $29 million, operating income of $19 million and diluted earnings per share in the range of $0.27 to $0.29, with the large majority of this impact occurring in the fourth quarter |
Fiscal 2020 fourth quarter results contained special items including total pre-tax restructuring charges of $18.3 million ($28.6 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020), the majority of which are related to Adtalem’s home office real estate consolidations and workforce reductions. The workforce reductions were driven by the desire to become more cost effective in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, a loss from discontinued operations of $327.6 million ($329.3 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020) was offset by a hedge gain of $26.9 million ($110.7 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020) on the deal-contingent hedge arrangement entered into in connection with the sale of Adtalem Brazil completed on April 24, 2020. The arrangement hedged the Brazilian Real denominated purchase price through mitigation of the currency exchange rate risk. Finally, a $25.7 million net tax benefit for a former subsidiary investment loss was recorded during the fourth quarter and the twelve months ended June 30, 2020.
Segment Highlights
Medical and Healthcare
Fourth quarter segment revenue of $211.4 million was flat compared with the prior year.
Chamberlain revenue in the fourth quarter increased 9.1% compared with the prior year. New and total student enrollment for the May 2020 session increased 5.4% and 8.2%, respectively, compared with the prior year.
Revenue in the fourth quarter for the medical and veterinary schools decreased 12.9% compared with the prior year, with the decline driven entirely by COVID-19, which resulted in reduced clinical weeks at the medical schools and loss of housing revenue during the quarter.
Segment operating income in the fourth quarter decreased 0.3% to $39.6 million compared with the prior year. The slight decrease in segment operating income is the result of the decline in revenue for the medical and veterinary schools as well as corporate costs that were previously allocated to our former Business and Law segment, partially offset by strong student enrollment and efforts to reduce travel and discretionary spend.
Financial Services
Fourth quarter segment revenue decreased 9.7% to $48.3 million compared with the prior year, reflecting negative impacts from COVID-19. This decline was driven primarily by the cancellation of ACAMS in person conferences and a decrease in Becker Accounting revenue. Becker Accounting revenue decreased 14.4% compared with the prior year, driven by the delay of CPA testing due to the closure of testing centers during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as constrained customer spending. Fourth quarter segment revenue included $5.0 million of inorganic revenue growth from the May 2019 acquisition of OnCourse Learning, the increase of which more than offset the decrease in revenue from the sale of Becker’s healthcare assets. Segment operating income decreased 54.0% to $6.8 million compared with the prior year. The decrease in segment operating income is the result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on revenue, an increase in marketing and sales investment to support future sales growth, and corporate costs that were previously allocated to our former Business and Law segment. Excluding special items, segment operating income in the fourth quarter decreased 46.9% to $8.5 million.
Adtalem Outlook
Due to continued uncertainty surrounding the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adtalem will not be providing guidance for fiscal year 2021 at this time. Over the long-term, the company remains confident in its ability to generate meaningful growth in revenue and earnings and to continue to deliver shareholder value.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Adtalem’s ongoing operations and is useful for period-over-period comparisons. We use these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally in our assessment of performance and budgeting process. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following are non-GAAP financial measures used in the subsequent GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables:
Net income from continuing operations attributable to Adtalem excluding special items (most comparable GAAP measure: net (loss) income attributable to Adtalem) – Measure of Adtalem’s net (loss) income attributable to Adtalem adjusted for restructuring expense, gain on sale of assets, settlement gains, gain on derivative, tax charges related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and the divestiture of DeVry University, a net tax benefit for a former subsidiary investment loss, and loss (income) from discontinued operations.
Earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items (most comparable GAAP measure: (loss) earnings per share) – Measure of Adtalem’s diluted (loss) earnings per share adjusted for restructuring expense, gain on sale of assets, settlement gains, gain on derivative, tax charges related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and the divestiture of DeVry University, a net tax benefit for a former subsidiary investment loss, and loss (income) from discontinued operations.
Operating income excluding special items (most comparable GAAP measure: operating income) – Measure of Adtalem’s operating income adjusted for restructuring expense, gain on sale of assets, and settlement gains. This measure is applied on a consolidated and segment basis, depending on the context of the discussion.
A description of special items in our non-GAAP financial measures described above are as follows:
● | Restructuring charges primarily related to the sale of Becker’s courses for healthcare students, Adtalem’s home office and ACAMS real estate consolidations, workforce reductions across the organization, and the closing of the Ross University School of Medicine (“RUSM”) campus in Dominica. The workforce reduction of 32 positions in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 was driven by the desire to become more cost effective in response to COVID-19. |
● | Gain on the sale of Adtalem’s Columbus, Ohio, campus facility. |
● | Settlement gains related to the final insurance settlement related to Hurricanes Irma and Maria at the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (“AUC”) and RUSM and a lawsuit settlement against the Adtalem Board of Directors. |
● | Gain on the deal-contingent foreign currency hedge arrangement entered into in connection with the sale of Adtalem Brazil completed on April 24, 2020 to economically hedge the Brazilian Real denominated purchase price through mitigation of the currency exchange rate risk. |
● | Tax charges related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and the divestiture of DeVry University. |
● | A net tax benefit for a former subsidiary investment loss. |
● | Loss (income) from discontinued operations include the operations of Adtalem Brazil, Carrington, and DeVry University. |
