1. Nature of Operations

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Adtalem Global Education Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is collectively referred to as “Adtalem,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar references. Adtalem reports on a fiscal year period ending on June 30. Therefore, this Quarterly Report for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2024 is for our second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

Adtalem is the leading healthcare educator in the U.S. Our schools consist of Chamberlain University (“Chamberlain”), Walden University (“Walden”), American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (“AUC”), Ross University School of Medicine (“RUSM”), and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (“RUSVM”). AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM are collectively referred to as the “medical and veterinary schools.” “Home Office” includes activities not allocated to a reportable segment. See Note 18 “Segment Information” for information on our reportable segments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). We have prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. We use the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, amounts presented within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements refer to our continuing operations. Unless indicated, or the context requires otherwise, references to years refer to Adtalem’s fiscal years. Certain items presented in tables may not sum due to rounding. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform with the current period presentation. These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with our annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our 2024 form 10-K.

Business integration expense was $6.9 million and $12.2 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. We did not incur business integration expense in the three and six months ended December 31, 2024. In the prior year, we incurred costs associated with integrating Walden into Adtalem. In addition, we initiated transformation initiatives to accelerate growth and organizational agility and certain costs relating to the transformation were included in business integration expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03: “Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The guidance was issued to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The amendments should be applied prospectively, however retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments

will expand our footnote disclosures to include a disaggregation of expenses in accordance with the amendments but will not otherwise impact Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07: “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” The guidance was issued to improve disclosures about reportable segments and addresses requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses by requiring entities to provide disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments will impact our segment disclosures but will not otherwise impact Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09: “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The guidance was issued to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring entities to provide additional information in the rate reconciliation and additional disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied prospectively, however retrospective application is permitted. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted. The amendments will impact our income tax disclosures but will not otherwise impact Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revision to Previously Issued Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, Adtalem identified an error in the presentation of capitalized cloud computing implementation costs in its previously issued financial statements. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40 “Intangibles, Goodwill and Other, Internal-Use Software,” capitalized cloud computing implementation costs should be presented in the same line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a prepayment of the fees for the associated hosting arrangement, and the cash flows from capitalized implementation costs should be presented in the same manner as cash flows for the fees associated with the hosting arrangement. Adtalem previously presented capitalized cloud implementation costs in property and equipment, net rather than as prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Adtalem previously presented the cash flows from capitalized implementation costs as capital expenditures within investing activities rather than within cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Adtalem assessed the materiality of this error individually and in the aggregate with other previously identified errors to prior periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99 “Materiality” and SAB 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” codified in ASC 250 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” Adtalem concluded that the error was not material to prior periods and therefore, amendments of previously filed reports are not required. However, Adtalem determined it was appropriate to revise its previously issued financial statements. In accordance with ASC 250, Adtalem corrected the prior period presented herein by revising the financial statement line item amounts previously disclosed in SEC filings in order to achieve comparability in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The impact of this revision on Adtalem’s previously reported Consolidated Financial Statements are detailed below. We have also revised impacted amounts within the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Discontinued Operations

On December 11, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of DeVry University to Cogswell Education, LLC (“Cogswell”) for de minimis consideration. As the sale represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on Adtalem’s operations and financial results, DeVry University is presented in Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements as a discontinued operation. The purchase agreement includes an earn-out entitling Adtalem to payments of up to $20.0 million over a ten-year period payable based on DeVry University’s financial results. Adtalem received $7.0 million and $5.5 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to the earn-out. To date, we have received a total of $19.5 million related to the earn-out.

The following is a summary of income statement information reported as discontinued operations, which includes expense from ongoing litigation costs and settlements related to the DeVry University divestiture and the earn-outs we received (in thousands):

In addition, see Note 18 “Segment Information” for a disaggregation of revenue by geographical region.

Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognition

Tuition and fees: The majority of revenue is derived from tuition and fees, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the academic term as instruction is delivered.

Other: Other revenue consists of housing and other miscellaneous services. Other revenue is recognized over the period in which the applicable performance obligation is satisfied.

Arrangements for payment are agreed to prior to registration of the student’s first academic term. The majority of U.S. students obtain Title IV or other financial aid resulting in institutions receiving a significant amount of the transaction price at the beginning of the academic term. Students not utilizing Title IV or other financial aid funding may pay after the academic term is complete.

Transaction Price

Revenue, or transaction price, is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services.

Students may receive scholarships, discounts, or refunds, which gives rise to variable consideration. The amounts of scholarships or discounts are generally applied to individual student accounts when such amounts are awarded. Therefore, the transaction price is immediately reduced directly by these scholarships or discounts from the amount of the standard tuition rate charged. Scholarships and discounts that are only applied to future tuition charged are considered a separate performance obligation if they represent a material right in accordance with ASC 606. In those instances, we defer the value of the related performance obligation associated with the future scholarship or discount based on estimates of future

9

redemption based on our historical experience of student persistence toward completion of study. The contract liability associated with these material rights is presented as deferred revenue within current liabilities and other liabilities within noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the amounts expected to be earned in the next 12 months. The contract liability amount associated with these material rights presented as deferred revenue within current liabilities is $32.1 million and $24.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and the amount presented as deferred revenue within noncurrent liabilities is $21.3 million and $19.6 million as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The noncurrent contract liability associated with these material rights is expected to be earned over approximately the next four fiscal years.

Upon withdrawal, a student may be eligible to receive a refund, or partial refund, the amount of which is dependent on the timing of the withdrawal during the academic term. If a student withdraws prior to completing an academic term, federal and state regulations and accreditation criteria permit Adtalem to retain a set percentage of the total tuition received from such student, which varies with, but generally equals or exceeds, the percentage of the academic term completed by such student. Payment amounts received by Adtalem in excess of such set percentages of tuition are refunded to the student or the appropriate funding source. For contracts with similar characteristics and historical data on refunds, the expected value method is applied in determining the variable consideration related to refunds. Estimates of Adtalem’s expected refunds are determined at the outset of each academic term, based upon actual refunds in previous academic terms. Reserves related to refunds are presented as refund liabilities within accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All refunds are netted against revenue during the applicable academic term.

Management reassesses collectability on a student-by-student basis throughout the period revenue is recognized. This reassessment is based upon new information and changes in facts and circumstances relevant to a student’s ability to pay. Management also reassesses collectability when a student withdraws from the institution and has unpaid tuition charges. Such unpaid charges do not meet the threshold of reasonably collectible and are recognized as revenue on a cash basis.

Contract Balances

Students are billed at the beginning of each academic term and payment is due at that time. Adtalem’s performance obligation is to provide educational services in the form of instruction during the academic term and to provide for any scholarships or discounts that are deemed a material right under ASC 606. As instruction is provided or the deferred value of material rights are recognized, deferred revenue is reduced. A significant portion of student payments are from Title IV financial aid and other programs and are generally received during the first month of the respective academic term. For students utilizing Adtalem’s credit extension programs (see Note 9 “Accounts and Financing Receivables”), payments are generally received after the academic term, and the corresponding performance obligation, is complete. When payments are received, accounts receivable and financing receivables are reduced.

Deferred revenue within current liabilities is $171.5 million and $185.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and deferred revenue within noncurrent liabilities is $21.3 million and $19.6 million as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively. Revenue of $6.8 million and $173.2 million was recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of fiscal year 2025. Revenue of $2.0 million and $152.1 million was recognized in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of fiscal year 2024.

The difference between the opening and closing balances of deferred revenue includes decreases from revenue recognized during the period, increases from charges related to the start of academic terms beginning during the period, increases from payments received related to academic terms commencing after the end of the period, and increases from recognizing additional performance obligations for material rights during the period.

5. Restructuring Expense

During the six months ended December 31, 2024, Adtalem recorded restructuring expense primarily driven by workforce reductions, costs to exit certain course offerings, and prior real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office. We continue to incur restructuring charges or reversals related to exited leased space from previous restructuring actions. During the six months ended December 31, 2023, Adtalem recorded restructuring expense primarily driven by prior real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office. When estimating costs of exiting lease space, estimates are made which

10

could differ materially from actual results and may result in additional restructuring charges or reversals in future periods. Termination benefit charges represent severance pay and benefits for employees impacted by workforce reductions. Restructuring expense by segment were as follows (in thousands):

Investment (loss) gain includes trading gains and losses related to the rabbi trust used to fund nonqualified deferred compensation plan obligations.

7. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 22.8% and 22.0% in the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and 17.1% and 17.5% in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 increased compared to the prior year periods primarily due to an increase in the percentage of earnings from operations in higher taxed jurisdictions and a limitation of tax benefits on certain executive compensation. The income tax provisions reflect the U.S. federal tax rate of 21% adjusted for taxes related to global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), limitation of tax benefits on certain executive

11

compensation, the rate of tax applied by state and local jurisdictions, the rate of tax applied to earnings outside the U.S., tax incentives, tax credits related to research and development expenditures, changes in valuation allowance, changes in uncertain tax positions, and tax benefits on stock-based compensation.

RUSM and RUSVM each have agreements with their respective domestic governments that exempt them from local income taxation. RUSM has an exemption in Barbados until 2039 and RUSVM has an exemption in St. Kitts until 2038.

9. Accounts and Financing Receivables

Our accounts receivables relate to student balances occurring in the normal course of business. Accounts receivables have a term of less than one year and are included in accounts and financing receivables, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our financing receivables relate to credit extension programs, which provides student with payment terms in excess of one year and are included in accounts and financing receivables, net and other assets, net on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The classification of our accounts and financing receivable balances was as follows (in thousands):

	December 31, 2024

Total financing receivables	$	41,453	$	(12,558)	$	28,895

Our financing receivables relate to credit extension programs available to students at Chamberlain, AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM. These credit extension programs are designed to assist students who are unable to completely cover educational costs consisting of tuition, fees, and books, and are available only after all other student financial assistance has been applied toward those purposes. In addition, AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM allow students to finance their living expenses. Repayment plans for financing agreements are developed to address the financial circumstances of the particular student. Interest charges at rates from 3.0% to 12.0% per annum accrue each month on the unpaid balance once a student withdraws or graduates from a program. Most students are required to begin repaying their loans while they are still in school with a minimum payment level. Payments may increase upon completing or departing school.

Credit Quality

The primary credit quality indicator for our financing receivables is delinquency. Balances are considered delinquent when contractual payments on the loan become past due. We generally write-off financing receivable balances when they are at least 181 days past due. Payments are applied first to outstanding interest and then to the unpaid principal balance.

The credit quality analysis of financing receivables as of December 31, 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses represents an estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in our accounts and financing receivable balances as of each balance sheet date. In evaluating the collectability of our accounts and financing receivable balances, we utilize historical events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future.

For our accounts receivables, we use historical loss rates based on an aging schedule and a student’s status to determine the allowance for credit losses. As these accounts receivables are short-term in nature, management believes a student’s status provides the best credit loss estimate, while also factoring in delinquency. Students still attending classes, recently graduated, or current on payments are more likely to pay than those who are inactive due to being on a leave of absence, withdrawing from school, or not current on payments.

For our financing receivables, we use historical loss rates based on an aging schedule. As these financing receivables are based on long-term financing agreements offered by Adtalem, management believes that delinquency provides the best credit loss estimate. As the financing receivable balances become further past due, it is less likely we will receive payment, causing our estimate of credit losses to increase.

The following tables provide a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses (in thousands):

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, management committed to a plan to sell a building owned by Adtalem located in Naperville, Illinois, and the building met criteria to be classified as assets held for sale. As a result, the building’s carrying value of $8.4 million was adjusted to its estimated fair value less cost to sell of $7.8 million, and the resulting $0.6 million charge was recognized within student services and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2023. In addition, the building is presented as assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

11. Leases

We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception. We have entered into operating leases for academic sites, housing facilities, and office space which expire at various dates through August 2040, most of which include options to terminate for a fee or extend the leases for an additional five-year period. The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease, as well as any periods for which we are reasonably certain to exercise extension options. We elected to account for lease and non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs) as a single lease component for all operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have not entered into any financing leases.

Operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the lease term. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease assets are adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, lease incentives, initial direct costs, and impairments. Our incremental borrowing rate is utilized in determining the present value of the lease payments based upon the information available at the commencement date. Our incremental borrowing rate is determined using a secured borrowing rate for the same currency and term as the associated lease. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As of December 31, 2024, we had entered into one operating lease that has not yet commenced. The lease is expected to commence during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, has a 13-year lease term, and will result in an additional operating lease asset and operating lease liability of approximately $2.8 million.

The components of lease cost were as follows (in thousands):

Adtalem maintains agreements to sublease either a portion or the full leased space at three of its operating lease locations. Adtalem’s sublease agreements expire at various dates through December 2025. We record sublease income as an offset against our lease expense recorded on the head lease. For leases which Adtalem vacated or partially vacated space, we recorded estimated restructuring charges in prior periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates, which could result in additional restructuring charges or reversals in future periods. Future minimum sublease rental income under these agreements as of December 31, 2024 was as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense on finite-lived intangible assets was $2.8 million and $5.6 million in three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and $9.3 million and $20.0 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. Future amortization expense on finite-lived intangible assets, by reporting unit, is expected to be as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Year	Walden
2025 (remaining)	$	5,610
2026		11,220
2027		1,394
Total	$	18,224

Curriculum is amortized on a straight-line basis. Student relationships was fully amortized as of June 30, 2024.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to trade names and Title IV eligibility and accreditations are not amortized, as there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, economic, or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets to the reporting entity.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. Our annual testing date is May 31.

Adtalem has five reporting units, which are Chamberlain, Walden, AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM. These reporting units constitute components for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management. We have the option to assess goodwill for impairment by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If it is determined that the reporting unit fair value is more likely than not less than its carrying value, or if we do not elect the option to perform an initial qualitative assessment, we perform a quantitative assessment of the reporting unit’s fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit containing the goodwill exceeds the fair value of that reporting unit, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. We also have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by determining whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired. If it is determined that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is more likely than not impaired, or if we do not elect the option to perform an initial qualitative assessment, we perform a quantitative assessment of the indefinite-lived intangible assets. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds fair value.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, Adtalem performed an assessment to determine whether there were indicators of a triggering event which could indicate the carrying value of the reporting units may not be supported by the fair value. No indicators of a triggering event for potential impairment were noted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

17

If economic conditions deteriorate, or operating performance of our reporting units do not meet expectations such that we revise our long-term forecasts, we may recognize impairments of goodwill and other intangible assets in future periods.

Senior Secured Notes due 2028

On March 1, 2021, Adtalem issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), which mature on March 1, 2028, pursuant to an indenture, dated as of March 1, 2021 (the “Indenture”), by and between Adtalem and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and notes collateral agent. The Notes were sold within the U.S. only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the U.S. to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes were issued at 100.0% of their par value. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2021, to holders of record on the preceding February 15 and August 15, as the case may be. The Notes are guaranteed by certain of Adtalem’s subsidiaries that are borrowers or guarantors under its senior secured credit facilities and certain of its other senior indebtedness, subject to certain exceptions. The Notes are secured, subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions, by first priority liens on the same collateral that secures the obligations under Adtalem’s senior secured credit facilities.

 We may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2024 at redemption prices equal to 102.75%, 101.375%, and 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed if the redemption occurs during the twelve-month periods beginning on March 1 of the years 2024, 2025, and 2026 and thereafter, respectively, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but not including, the applicable redemption date.

On April 11, 2022, we repaid $373.3 million of Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes. During June 2022, we repurchased on the open market an additional $20.8 million of Notes at a price equal to approximately 90% of the principal amount of the Notes. This debt was subsequently retired. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, we repurchased on the open market an additional $0.9 million of Notes at a price equal to approximately 92% of the principal amount of the Notes. This debt was subsequently retired. The principal balance of the Notes is $405.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

Accrued interest on the Notes of $7.4 million and $7.4 million is recorded within accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Credit Agreement

On August 12, 2021, in connection with the Walden acquisition, Adtalem entered into its new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for (1) a $850.0 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan B”) with a maturity date of August 12, 2028 and (2) a $400.0 million senior secured revolving loan facility (“Revolver”) with a maturity date of August 12, 2026. We refer to the Term Loan B and Revolver collectively as the “Credit Facility.” The Revolver has availability for letters of credit and currencies other than U.S. dollars of up to $400.0 million.

On June 27, 2023, Adtalem entered into Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, identifying the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the benchmark rate to replace LIBOR for eurocurrency rate loans within the Credit Agreement effective the first quarter of fiscal year 2024.

Term Loan B

Prior to January 26, 2024, borrowings under the Term Loan B bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 4.00% to 4.50%, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.75%, or an alternate base rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.00% to 3.50% depending on Adtalem’s net first lien leverage ratio for such period.

On January 26, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, which resulted in a 0.50% reduction in our Term Loan B interest rate margin. From January 26, 2024 through August 21, 2024, borrowings under the Term Loan B bore interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, SOFR plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.50% to 4.00%, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.75%, or an ABR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.00% depending on Adtalem’s net first lien leverage ratio for such period.

On August 21, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, which resulted in a further 0.75% reduction in our Term Loan B interest rate margin and removed the leverage-based pricing grid. After August 21, 2024, borrowings under the Term Loan B bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, SOFR plus 2.75%, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.75%, or an ABR plus 1.75%.

As of December 31, 2024, the interest rate for borrowings under the Term Loan B facility was 7.11%, which approximated the effective interest rate. The Term Loan B originally required quarterly installment payments of $2.125 million beginning on March 31, 2022. On March 11, 2022, we made a prepayment of $396.7 million on the Term Loan B. With that prepayment, we are no longer required to make quarterly installment payments. We made additional Term Loan B prepayments of $100.0 million, $50.0 million, and $50.0 million on September 22, 2022, November 22, 2022, and January 26, 2024, respectively. The principal balance of the Term Loan B is $253.3 million as of December 31, 2024. On January 17, 2025, we made an additional prepayment of $100.0 million on the Term Loan B, reducing the principal balance on the Term Loan B to $153.3 million as of January 17, 2025.

Revolver

Borrowings under the Revolver bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.75%, plus an applicable margin ranging from 3.75% to 4.25% or an ABR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.75% to 3.25% depending on Adtalem’s net first lien leverage ratio for such period. There were no borrowings under the Revolver during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The Credit Agreement requires payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.25% as of December 31, 2024, of the unused portion of the Revolver. The commitment fee expense is recorded within interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The amount unused under the Revolver was $301.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

Debt Discount and Issuance Costs

The Term Loan B was issued at a price of 99% of its principal amount, resulting in an original issue discount of 1%. The debt discount and issuance costs related to the Notes and Term Loan B are presented as a direct deduction from the face amount of the debt, while the debt issuance costs related to the Revolver are classified as other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The debt discount and issuance costs are amortized as interest expense over seven years for

19

the Notes and Term Loan B and over five years for the Revolver. The following table summarizes the unamortized debt discount and issuance costs activity for the six months ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

	Notes		Term Loan B		Revolver		Total
Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs as of June 30, 2024	$	4,446	$	5,125	$	4,327	$	13,898

Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs as of December 31, 2024	$	3,852	$	4,507	$	3,313	$	11,672

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On December 6, 2024, the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) notified Adtalem that the $69.4 million surety-backed letter of credit in favor of ED on behalf of Walden, which allows Walden to participate in Title IV programs would be permitted to expire on December 31, 2024. A letter of credit in the amount of $157.9 million, representing 10% of the consolidated Title IV funds Adtalem’s institutions received during fiscal year 2022, was delivered to ED on November 1, 2023 with an expiration date of December 31, 2024. On December 3, 2024, ED requested Adtalem amend the letter of credit to $179.0 million, representing 10% of the consolidated Title IV funds Adtalem’s institutions received during fiscal year 2024 with an expiration date of January 31, 2026. As requested, Adtalem delivered this amended letter of credit to ED on December 13, 2024. Adtalem satisfied this request by securing a $99.0 million letter of credit under its Revolver and an $80.0 million surety-backed letter of credit. As of December 31, 2024, Adtalem had $179.0 million of letters of credit outstanding in favor of ED.

Many states require private-sector postsecondary education institutions to post surety bonds for licensure. In the U.S., Adtalem has posted $63.9 million of surety bonds as of December 31, 2024 with regulatory authorities on behalf of Chamberlain, Walden, AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM.

Total	$	13,909	$	16,693	$	28,391	$	32,350

Covenants and Guarantees

The Credit Agreement and Notes contain customary covenants, including restrictions on our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interest on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances or investments, or sell or otherwise transfer assets. Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the assets of Adtalem and certain of its domestic wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default for facilities of this type. If an event of default under the Credit Agreement occurs and is continuing, the commitments thereunder may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding thereunder, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owed thereunder, may be declared immediately due and payable.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, Adtalem is required to maintain a Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of equal to or less than 3.25 to 1.00. Adtalem was in compliance with the Credit Agreement debt covenants and the Notes covenants as of December 31, 2024.

14. Share Repurchases

On March 1, 2022, we announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized Adtalem’s thirteenth share repurchase program, which allowed Adtalem to repurchase up to $300.0 million of its common stock through February 25, 2025. On January 16, 2024, Adtalem completed its thirteenth share repurchase program. On January 19, 2024, we announced that the Board authorized Adtalem’s fourteenth share repurchase program, which allows Adtalem to repurchase up to $300.0 million of its common stock through January 16, 2027. Adtalem made share repurchases under its share repurchase programs as follows, which include the market price of the shares, commissions, and excise tax (in thousands, except shares and per share data):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Total number of share repurchases		471,327		1,350,735		933,390		3,509,133
Total cost of share repurchases	$	37,517	$	69,301	$	71,429	$	161,186
Average price paid per share	$	79.60	$	51.31	$	76.53	$	45.93

As of December 31, 2024, $140.1 million of authorized share repurchases were remaining under the fourteenth share repurchase program. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will be determined based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through open market purchases, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Repurchases will be funded through available cash balances and ongoing business operating cash generation and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Shares of stock repurchased under the programs are held as treasury shares. Repurchases under our share repurchase programs reduce the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

15. Stock-Based Compensation

Adtalem’s current stock-based incentive plan is its Fourth Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2013, which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Under the plan, employees and directors are eligible to receive stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”), and other forms of stock awards. As of December 31, 2024, 1,610,726 shares of common stock were available for future issuance under this plan.

Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We account for forfeitures of unvested awards in the period they occur. Adtalem issues new shares of common stock to satisfy stock option exercises, RSU vests, and PSU vests. Stock-based compensation expense is included in student services and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. There was no capitalized stock-based compensation cost as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024.

Stock Options

Beginning in fiscal year 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board determined to no longer grant stock options. Prior to fiscal year 2023, we granted stock options generally with a four-year graded vesting from the grant date and expire ten years from the grant date. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the six months ended December 31, 2024:

				Weighted-Average
	Number of			Remaining	Aggregate
	Stock	Weighted-Average		Contractual Life	Intrinsic Value
	Options	Exercise Price		(in years)	(in thousands)
Outstanding as of June 30, 2024	550,343	$	37.34
Exercised	(267,685)		36.73
Expired	(1,325)		36.46
Outstanding as of December 31, 2024	281,333		37.92	5.8	$	14,890
Exercisable as of December 31, 2024	238,525	$	38.08	5.7	$	12,586

21

The fair value of stock options that vested during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, $0.2 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 0.7 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $10.2 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

RSUs

Prior to fiscal year 2023, we granted RSUs generally with a four-year graded vesting from the grant date. Beginning in fiscal year 2023, we grant RSUs generally with a three-year graded vesting from the grant date. We also grant RSUs to our Board members with a one-year cliff vest from the grant date. The fair value per share of RSUs is the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. The following table summarizes RSU activity for the six months ended December 31, 2024:

		Weighted-Average
	Number of	Grant Date
	RSUs	Fair Value
Unvested as of June 30, 2024	755,841	$	40.51
Granted	213,030		88.98
Vested	(340,570)		39.98
Forfeited	(22,739)		46.65
Unvested as of December 31, 2024	605,562	$	57.62

The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of RSUs granted in the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $88.98 and $44.17, respectively. The grant date fair value of RSUs that vested during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $13.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, $23.8 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

PSUs

We issue PSUs generally with a three-year cliff vest from the grant date. The fair value per share of PSUs is the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. We estimate the number of shares that will vest under our PSU awards when recognizing stock-based compensation expense for each reporting period. The final number of shares that vest under our PSUs is based on metrics approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The following table summarizes PSU activity for the six months ended December 31, 2024:

		Weighted-Average
	Number of	Grant Date
	PSUs	Fair Value
Unvested as of June 30, 2024	629,770	$	43.77
Granted	167,050		89.74
Vested	(83,357)		33.84
Forfeited	(70,643)		39.94
Unvested as of December 31, 2024	642,820	$	57.42

The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of PSUs granted in the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $89.74 and $50.07, respectively. The grant date fair value of PSUs that vested during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $2.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, $32.4 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested PSUs is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

16. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined under GAAP as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is a market-based measurement that

22

is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The following fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs in valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These fair value measurements require significant judgement.

The valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value and their classification in the valuation hierarchy are described below.

The carrying value of our cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and is classified as Level 1.

Adtalem maintains a rabbi trust with investments in stock and bond mutual funds to fund obligations under our nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The fair value of the investments in the rabbi trust included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 was $12.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively. These investments are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices using Level 1 inputs.

The carrying value of the credit extension programs, which approximates its fair value, is included in accounts and financing receivables, net and other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 of $26.4 million and $28.9 million, respectively, and is classified as Level 2. See Note 9 “Accounts and Financing Receivables” for additional information on these credit extension programs.

Adtalem has a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for highly compensated employees and its Board members. The participant’s “investments” are in a hypothetical portfolio of investments which are tracked by an administrator. Changes in the fair value of the nonqualified deferred compensation obligation are derived using quoted prices in active markets based on the market price per unit multiplied by the number of units. Total liabilities under the plan included in accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 were $12.1 million and $12.2 million, respectively. The fair value of the nonqualified deferred compensation obligation is classified as Level 2 because their inputs are derived principally from observable market data by correlation to the hypothetical investments.

As of both December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the principal balance of our Notes was $405.0 million, with a fair value as of those dates of $397.4 million and $389.5 million, respectively. The valuation of the Notes was based upon quoted market prices and is classified as Level 1. As of both December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, the principal balance of our Term Loan B was $253.3 million, with a fair value as of those dates of $255.1 million and $254.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively. The valuation of the Term Loan B was based upon quoted market prices in a non-active market and is classified as Level 2. See Note 13 “Debt” for additional information on our Notes and Term Loan B.

As of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.

Adtalem has elected not to measure any assets or liabilities at fair value other than those required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill, intangible assets, and assets of businesses where the long-term value of the operations are deemed to be impaired. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently completed as of May 31, 2024. See Note 12 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional information on the impairment review, including valuation techniques and assumptions.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Adtalem is subject to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews, and investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other matters arising in the conduct of its business and certain of these matters are discussed below. Descriptions of certain matters from prior SEC filings may not be carried forward in this report to the extent we believe such matters no longer are required to be disclosed or there has not been, to our knowledge, significant activity relating to them. As of December 31, 2024, we adequately reserved for matters that management has determined a loss is probable and that loss can be reasonably estimated. For those matters for which we have not recorded an accrual, their possible impact on Adtalem’s business, financial condition, or results of operations, cannot be predicted at this time. The continued defense, resolution, or settlement of any of the following matters could require us to expend significant resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, and result in the imposition of significant restrictions on us and our ability to operate.

On January 12, 2022, Walden was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland by Aljanal Carroll, Claudia Provost Charles, and Tiffany Fair against Walden for damages, injunctive relief, and declaratory relief on behalf of themselves and all other similarly-situated individuals alleging violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Minnesota Prevention of Consumer Fraud Act, the Minnesota Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Minnesota statutes prohibiting false statements in advertising, and for common law fraudulent misrepresentation. Plaintiffs allege that Walden has targeted, deceived, and exploited Black and female Doctor of Business Administration (“DBA”) students by knowingly misrepresenting and understating the number of “capstone” credits required to complete the DBA program and obtain a degree. At a non-binding mediation held on September 21, 2023, the parties agreed on a $28.5 million payment to resolve the issues in the case, subject to agreement on non-financial terms. The parties subsequently agreed to the non-financial terms including an agreement by Walden to implement certain website disclosures and verifications and to make certain programmatic changes. A settlement agreement has been executed by the parties. The settlement agreement in no way constitutes an admission of wrongdoing or liability by Walden. Plaintiffs filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement on March 28, 2024. On April 17, 2024, the District Court preliminarily approved the settlement, which includes the provisional certification of the settlement class (the “Class”). The Class opt-out deadline was June 19, 2024. On October 17, 2024, the Court held a fairness hearing, following which, the Court entered an Order granting final approval of the settlement. We recorded a $28.5 million loss contingency accrual for this matter within accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2024. On November 27, 2024, Adtalem paid the $28.5 million as required under the settlement agreement. In January 2024, Adtalem made a claim for indemnification under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Laureate Education, Inc. (“Laureate”), dated September 11, 2020, pursuant to which Adtalem purchased Walden. Adtalem received $5.6 million in November 2024 from Laureate in satisfaction of this indemnification claim.

On June 6, 2022, plaintiff Rajesh Verma filed a lawsuit on behalf of himself and a class of similarly situated individuals in the Circuit Court of the Fourth Judicial Circuit, Duval County Florida, against Walden alleging that Walden was placing telephonic sales calls to persons on the National Do-Not-Call Registry, in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq. Although originally filed in state court, Walden removed the case to federal court and filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint. On August 26, 2022, plaintiff filed a motion to remand Count I of the complaint to state court. On March 2, 2023, plaintiff filed an amended complaint to add a Florida state law claim against Walden under the Florida Telephone Solicitation Act (“FTSA”). On March 16, 2023, Walden filed its answer to the amended complaint. On March 29, 2023, Walden’s motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint and plaintiff’s motion to remand Count I of the complaint were denied. A non-binding mediation was held on September 18, 2023. The parties reached a settlement for an immaterial amount, subject to Court approval. On November 27, 2023, the parties filed a motion for preliminary approval of the settlement agreement. On May 20, 2024, the Court granted preliminary approval to the settlement. On October 29, 2024, the Court conducted a final settlement approval hearing at which the Court indicated that it would approve the settlement. On October 31, 2024, the Court entered a final approval for the settlement. On December 6, 2024, Walden paid an immaterial amount as required under the settlement agreement.

As previously disclosed, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) by and between Adtalem and Cogswell, dated as of December 4, 2017, as amended, Adtalem sold DeVry University to Cogswell and Adtalem agreed to indemnify DeVry University for certain losses up to $340.0 million (the “Liability Cap”). Adtalem has previously disclosed DeVry University related matters that have consumed a portion of the Liability Cap.

In late January 2024 and early February 2024, ED sent notice to Chamberlain, RUSM, RUSVM, and Walden that it had received approximately 3,225, 1,700, 1,900, and 7,740 borrower defense to repayment applications filed by students at Chamberlain, RUSM, RUSVM, and Walden respectively between June 23, 2022 and November 15, 2022. Each application seeks forgiveness of federal student loans made to these students. In the notices received, ED indicated that: (1) the notification was occurring prior to any substantive review of the application as well as its adjudication; (2) it would send the applications to each institution in batches of 500 per week; (3) it is optional for institutions to respond to the applications; and (4) not responding will result in no negative inference by ED. ED has also explained that it will separately decide whether to seek recoupment on any approved claim and that any recoupment actions ED chooses to initiate will have their own notification and response processes, which include an opportunity to provide additional evidence to the institutions. ED has indicated that an institution will learn of ED’s determination to forgive student loans only if it approves a borrower defense to repayment application and ED seeks recoupment. Chamberlain, RUSM, RUSVM, and Walden have responded to all of the applications received and they believe that none properly stated a claim for loan forgiveness.

18. Segment Information

We present three reportable segments as follows:

Chamberlain – This segment includes the operations of Chamberlain, which offers degree and certificate programs in the nursing and health professions postsecondary education industry.

Walden – This segment includes the operations of Walden, which offers degree and certificate programs, including those in nursing, education, counseling, business, psychology, public health, social work and human services, public administration and public policy, and criminal justice.

Medical and Veterinary – This segment includes the operations of AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM, collectively referred to as the “medical and veterinary schools,” which offers degree and certificate programs in the medical and veterinary postsecondary education industry.

These segments are consistent with the method by which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (Adtalem’s President and Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance and allocates resources. Performance evaluations are based on each segment’s adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income excludes special items, which consists of restructuring expense, business integration expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation reserve, loss on assets held for sale, and debt modification costs. Adtalem’s management excludes these items from its review of the results of the operating segments for purposes of measuring segment profitability and allocating resources. “Home Office” includes activities not allocated to a reportable segment and is included to reconcile segment results to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Total assets by segment are not presented as our CODM does not review or allocate resources based on segment assets. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Second Quarter Highlights

Financial and operational highlights for the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 include:

● Adtalem revenue increased 13.9%, or $54.5 million, to $447.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year period driven by increased revenue across all of our segments.

● Net income increased 90.2%, or $36.0 million, to $75.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue along with decreases in litigation reserves, amortization of acquired intangible assets, and business integration expense, partially offset by increases in labor and other costs to support increased enrollment, marketing expense, investments to support growth initiatives, and the provision for income taxes.

● Diluted earnings per share increased 102.0%, or $1.00, to $1.98 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year period driven by the increase in net income and lower diluted shares due to share repurchases.

● Adjusted net income increased 38.1%, or $19.1 million, to $69.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year period. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in revenue, partially offset by increases in labor and other costs to support increased enrollment, marketing expense, investments to support growth initiatives, and provision for bad debts.

● Diluted adjusted earnings per share increased 47.2%, or $0.58, to $1.81 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year period driven by the increase in adjusted net income and lower diluted shares due to share repurchases.

● For the November 2024 session, total student enrollment at Chamberlain increased 11.5% compared to the same session last year.

● As of December 31, 2024, total student enrollment at Walden increased 13.2% compared to December 31, 2023.

● Adtalem repurchased a total of 471,327 shares of its common stock under its share repurchase programs at an average cost of $79.60 per share during the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will be determined based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

Enrollment has improved in all graduate and doctoral programs, the undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Nursing (“BSN”) programs, and the Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (“RN-BSN”) online degree program. Chamberlain is achieving growth by optimizing investments in student enrollment and experience while leveraging scale through a national footprint and providing a full breadth of nursing programs and modalities.

Walden total student enrollment represents those students attending instructional sessions as of the dates identified above. Walden revenue increased 16.7%, or $24.5 million, to $171.3 million in the second quarter and increased 15.4%, or $44.4 million, to $332.8 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods, driven by an increase in enrollment, higher tuition rates, and an increase in average credit hours per student. Walden’s improved enrollment has been accelerated by investments in student experience and brand along with providing flexibility to working adults through part-time and Tempo Learning® competency-based programs.

Tuition Rates:

Tuition rates for Walden programs, including general education are charged on a per credit hour basis that varies based on the nature of the program. For other programs such as those with a subscription-based learning modality, tuition is charged on a per term basis. Students are also charged program and clinical fees depending on the specific programs. Some

29

programs require students to attend residencies, skills labs, and pre-practicum labs, for which tuition is charged per event. In most programs, these tuition rates, event charges, and fees increased by approximately 2% from the prior year.

Management’s focus is on increasing enrollment and renewing operational effectiveness, specifically around academic support, the enrollment experience, and marketing.

Tuition Rates:

● Effective for semesters beginning in September 2024, tuition rates and administrative fees for the beginning basic sciences and clinical rotation portions of AUC’s medical program increased 4.0% and 4.25%, respectively, from the prior academic year.

● Effective for semesters beginning in September 2024, tuition rates and administrative fees for the beginning basic sciences and clinical rotation portions of RUSM’s medical program increased 4.0% and 4.25%, respectively, from the prior academic year.

● Effective for semesters beginning in September 2024, tuition rates for the pre-clinical and clinical curriculum of RUSVM’s veterinary program increased 2.0% from the prior academic year.

Cost of Educational Services

The cost of educational services expense category includes expenses related to the cost of faculty and staff who support educational operations, facilities, adjunct faculty, supplies, housing, bookstore, other educational materials, student education-related support activities, and the provision for bad debts. The following tables present cost of educational services by segment detailing the changes from the prior year periods (in thousands):

% change from prior year		15.9	%		6.1	%		4.3	%		9.4	%

Cost of educational services increased 8.5%, or $14.6 million, to $186.6 million in the second quarter and increased 9.4%, or $31.9 million, to $372.6 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. These cost increases were primarily driven by an increase in labor and other costs to support increased enrollment and an increase in the provision for bad debts.

As a percentage of revenue, cost of educational services was 41.7% and 43.1% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025, respectively, compared to 43.8% and 44.7% in the prior year periods. The decreases in the percentages were primarily the result of revenue growth accompanied with cost efficiencies.

Student services and administrative expense increased 0.8%, or $1.3 million, to $156.9 million in the second quarter and decreased 1.8%, or $5.7 million, to $316.0 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. Excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation reserves, and loss on assets held for sale, student services and administrative expense increased 9.0%, or $14.0 million, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year period. Excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation reserves, loss on assets held for sale, and debt modification costs, student services and administrative expense increased 10.2%, or $32.7 million, in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year period. These increases were primarily driven by an increase in marketing expense and investments to support growth initiatives.

As a percentage of revenue, student services and administrative expense was 35.0% and 36.5% in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025, respectively, compared to 39.6% and 42.2% in the prior year periods. The decreases in the percentage were primarily the result of revenue growth accompanied by decreases in amortization of acquired intangible assets and litigation reserves.

Restructuring Expense

Restructuring expense in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 was $0.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, compared to $0.1 million and $0.7 million in the prior year periods. These increases were primarily driven by workforce reductions, costs to exit certain course offerings, and prior real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025. We continue to incur restructuring expense or reversals related to exited leased space from previous restructuring activities.

Business Integration Expense

Business integration expense in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2024 was $6.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively. We did not incur business integration expense during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025. In the prior year, we incurred costs associated with integrating Walden into Adtalem. In addition, we initiated transformation initiatives to accelerate growth and organizational agility and certain costs relating to the transformation were included in business integration expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Consolidated operating income increased 77.2%, or $45.3 million, to $103.9 million in the second quarter and increased 100.6%, or $87.3 million, to $174.1 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. The operating income increases in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 were primarily driven by an increase in revenue and decreases in business integration expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation reserve, and loss on assets held for sale, partially offset by increases in labor and other costs to support increased enrollment, marketing expense, investments to support growth initiatives, and provision for bad debts. The decreases in amortization of acquired intangible assets are driven by the decreases in amortization relating to the Walden student relationships intangible asset, which was fully amortized as of June 30, 2024. The decrease in litigation reserves includes

33

a $5.6 million receipt in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 from a claim made for indemnification under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Laureate Education, Inc.  

Consolidated adjusted operating income increased 34.2%, or $25.9 million, to $101.4 million in the second quarter and increased 27.7%, or $38.4 million, to $177.3 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. The adjusted operating income increases in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 were primarily driven by an increase in revenue, partially offset by increases in labor and other costs to support increased enrollment, marketing expense, investments to support growth initiatives, and provision for bad debts.

Chamberlain

Chamberlain operating income increased 42.5%, or $12.6 million, to $42.2 million in the second quarter and increased 26.4%, or $14.2 million, to $68.2 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. Segment adjusted operating income increased 42.7%, or $12.7 million, to $42.3 million in the second quarter and increased 30.0%, or $16.2 million, to $70.1 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. The adjusted operating income increase in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in revenue, partially offset by increases in labor and other costs to support increased enrollment, investments to support growth, and provision for bad debts. The adjusted operating income increase in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 was primarily driven by an increase in revenue, partially offset by increases in labor and other costs to support increased enrollment, investments to support growth initiatives, and marketing expense.

Walden

Walden operating income increased 126.4%, or $27.3 million, to $48.9 million in the second quarter and increased 277.0%, or $65.2 million, to $88.7 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. Segment adjusted operating income increased 53.1%, or $16.0 million, to $46.2 million in the second quarter and increased 44.9%, or $27.5 million, to $88.8 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. The adjusted operating income increases in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 were primarily driven by an increase in revenue, partially offset by increases in labor and other costs to support increased enrollment, investments to support growth initiatives, and marketing expense.

Medical and Veterinary

Medical and Veterinary operating income decreased 2.5%, or $0.6 million, to $21.5 million in the second quarter and decreased 0.7%, or $0.2 million, to $36.1 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. Segment adjusted operating income decreased 2.6%, or $0.6 million, to $21.5 million in the second quarter and decreased 0.9%, or $0.3 million, to $36.2 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2025 compared to the prior year periods. The adjusted operating income decreases in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 were primarily driven by increases in investments to support initiatives to drive future growth and provision for bad debts, partially offset by increases in revenue.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 was $13.9 million and $28.4 million, respectively, compared to $16.7 million and $32.4 million in the prior year periods. The interest expense decreases in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 was primarily driven by lower interest expense on our Term Loan B due to decreased borrowings and a lower interest rate (as discussed in Note 13 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Other Income, Net

Other income, net in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 was income of $2.2 million and income of $4.9 million, respectively, compared to income of $3.6 million and income of $5.8 million in the prior year periods. These decreases were primarily the result of decreases in interest income and investment income.

34

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate (“ETR”) from continuing operations can differ from the 21% U.S. federal statutory rate due to several factors, including tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), limitation of tax benefits on certain executive compensation, the rate of tax applied by state and local jurisdictions, the rate of tax applied to earnings outside the U.S., tax incentives, tax credits related to research and development expenditures, changes in valuation allowance, changes in uncertain tax positions, and tax benefits on stock-based compensation awards.

Our effective tax rate from continuing operations was 22.8% and 22.0% in the three and six months ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and 17.1% and 17.5% in the three and six months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2024 increased compared to the prior year periods primarily due to an increase in the percentage of earnings from operations in higher taxed jurisdictions and a limitation of tax benefits on certain executive compensation.

Discontinued Operations

Income from discontinued operations in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 was $4.7 million and $4.6 million, respectively, compared to $2.2 million and $0.9 million in the prior year periods. We recorded income within discontinued operations related to the DeVry University earn-out of $7.0 million and $5.5 million in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, we continue to incur costs associated with ongoing litigation and settlements related to the DeVry University divestiture, which was completed during fiscal year 2019, and are classified as expense within discontinued operations.

Financial Aid

Like other higher education institutions, Adtalem’s institutions are dependent upon the timely receipt of federal financial aid funds. All public financial aid programs are subject to political and governmental budgetary considerations. Adtalem’s institutions and their students participate in a wide range of financial aid programs, including U.S. federal financial aid, state financial aid, Canadian financial aid, private loan programs, tax-favored programs, Adtalem-provided financial assistance, and employer-provided financial assistance. In the U.S., the Higher Education Act (as reauthorized, the “HEA”) guides the federal government’s support of postsecondary education. If there are changes to financial aid programs that restrict student eligibility or reduce funding levels, Adtalem’s financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Legislative and Regulatory Requirements

Government-funded financial assistance programs are governed by extensive and complex regulations in the U.S. Like any other educational institution, Adtalem’s institutions’ administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by regulatory agencies and is subject to audit or investigation by other authorities. Any violation could be the basis for penalties or other disciplinary action, including initiation of a suspension, limitation, or termination proceeding.

Financial Responsibility

Institutions must pass a U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) financial responsibility test, also known as a “composite score,” to maintain eligibility to participate in Title IV aid programs. For Adtalem’s institutions, this test is calculated at the consolidated Adtalem level. Applying various financial elements from annual audited financial statements, the score is a composite of three ratios: an equity ratio that measures the institution’s capital resources; a primary reserve ratio that measures an institution’s ability to fund its operations from current resources; and a net income ratio that measures an institution’s ability to operate profitably. A score greater than or equal to 1.5 indicates the institution is considered financially responsible. A score less than 1.5 but greater than or equal to 1.0 is considered financially responsible but requires additional oversight. For example, an institution with a score in this range is subject to heightened cash monitoring and other participation requirements. An institution with a score of less than 1.0 is not considered financially responsible but may continue to participate in the Title IV programs under provisional certification. In addition, this lower score typically requires that the institution be subject to heightened cash monitoring requirements and post a letter of credit (equal to a minimum of 10% of the Title IV aid it received in the institution's most recent fiscal year).

35

Prior to fiscal year 2022, Adtalem’s composite score was greater than 1.5. However, on September 25, 2023, ED notified Adtalem that its fiscal year 2022 composite score had declined to 0.2. As previously disclosed, this was expected due to the acquisition of Walden and other transactions. ED advised that Adtalem’s five institutions will be permitted to continue to participate in Title IV under provisional certifications with heightened cash monitoring and continued reporting. A letter of credit in the amount of $157.9 million, representing 10% of the consolidated Title IV funds Adtalem’s institutions received during fiscal year 2022, was delivered to ED on November 1, 2023 with an expiration date of December 31, 2024. On December 3, 2024, ED requested Adtalem amend the letter of credit to $179.0 million, representing 10% of the consolidated Title IV funds Adtalem’s institutions received during fiscal year 2024 with an expiration date of January 31, 2026. As requested, Adtalem delivered this amended letter of credit to ED on December 13, 2024. Adtalem satisfied this request by securing a $99.0 million letter of credit under its Revolver and an $80.0 million surety-backed letter of credit. Management does not believe these conditions will have a material adverse effect on Adtalem’s operations.

The financial responsibility rules include other mandatory or discretionary triggers that could require an institution to post a letter of credit. ED recently amended the financial responsibility regulation and the changes took effect July 1, 2024. The changes include additional triggers which could require additional letters of credit.

Program Participation Agreement (“PPA”)

All institutions must apply periodically to ED for continued certification to participate in Title IV programs. Such recertification generally is required every six years, but may be required earlier, including when an institution undergoes a change in control. ED may place an institution on provisional certification status if it finds that the institution does not fully satisfy all of the eligibility and certification standards and in certain other circumstances, such as when an institution is certified for the first time or undergoes a change in control. During the period of provisional certification, the institution must comply with any additional conditions included in the institution’s PPA. In addition, ED may more closely review an institution that is provisionally certified if it applies for recertification or approval to open a new location, add an educational program, acquire another institution, or make any other significant change. Students attending provisionally certified institutions remain eligible to receive Title IV program funds. If ED determines that a provisionally certified institution is unable to meet its responsibilities under its PPA, it may seek to revoke the institution’s certification to participate in Title IV programs without advance notice or opportunity for the institution to challenge the action.

Chamberlain was most recently recertified and issued an unrestricted PPA in September 2020, with a reapplication date of June 30, 2024. The lengthy PPA recertification process is such that ED allows unhampered continued access to Title IV funding after PPA expiration, so long as materially complete applications are submitted at least 90 days in advance of expiration. A complete application for Chamberlain’s PPA recertification has been timely submitted to ED.

ED approved Walden’s change in ownership application and issued Walden a provisional PPA through June 30, 2025, with its application for PPA recertification due March 31, 2025.

ED provisionally recertified AUC and RUSM’s Title IV PPAs through March 31, 2025. Complete applications for AUC and RUSM’s PPA recertification have been timely submitted to ED. ED has provisionally recertified RUSVM’s Title IV PPA through March 31, 2027.

The provisional nature of the PPAs stemmed from Adtalem’s composite score declining and failing to meet ED’s standards of financial responsibility as described above.

Walden, AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM’s provisional PPAs included financial requirements, such as letter of credit, heightened cash monitoring, and additional reporting. We do not believe these requirements will have a material effect on Adtalem’s financial position or results of operations. With the approval of its change in ownership, Walden has the ability to request ED approval for new programs.

As of December 31, 2024, Adtalem had $179.0 million of letters of credit outstanding in favor of ED. See “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in Note 13 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

36

Gainful Employment

The HEA requires certificate programs at all Title IV institutions and degree programs at proprietary Title IV institutions to prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation. In October 2023, ED released new Financial Value Transparency (“FVT”) and Gainful Employment (“GE”) rules effective July 1, 2024. GE programs must meet a debt-to-earnings test in which graduates’ annual debt payments must not exceed 8% of their annual earnings or 20% of their discretionary earnings. GE programs must also meet an earnings premium test in which graduates’ earnings must exceed those of a typical high school graduate. Under the regulation, programs that fail either metric must provide warnings to students and prospective students that the program is at risk of losing Title IV eligibility and programs that fail the same measure in two out of three consecutive years lose Title IV eligibility. The GE regulation also includes a transparency framework in which debt-to-earnings, earnings premium, and a wide range of other program outcomes for all Title IV programs are disclosed on a website hosted by ED. Because there are many factors and unknowns, including the earnings of program graduates, Adtalem is reviewing the regulation to determine what impact, if any, the regulation will have on its programs. In addition, multiple parties are seeking to block enforcement of the FVT/GE rule under the Administrative Procedure Act and other legal theories.

The “90/10 Rule”

An ED regulation known as the “90/10 Rule” affects only proprietary institutions participating in Title IV programs, including each of Adtalem’s institutions. An institution that does not meet the 90% threshold for two consecutive fiscal years loses its eligibility to participate in Title IV programs. Previously, an institution could not derive more than 90% of its revenue on a cash basis from Title IV financial aid funds. In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act amended the 90/10 calculation to require no more than 90% of revenue at proprietary institutions be derived from any federal education assistance funds, including but not limited to previously excluded U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs benefits and Department of Defense tuition assistance funds. This change was subject to negotiated rulemaking with the final rule published by ED in October 2022. The amended rule applies to an institution’s fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023. For Adtalem’s institutions, the updated 90/10 rule is therefore effective with the calculation for fiscal year 2024. The following table shows the 90/10 rates for each Adtalem institution for fiscal year 2024 based on the new 90/10 rules and fiscal year 2023 based on the old 90/10 rules that were still in effect for that period. We are also providing a consolidated rate for Adtalem even though it is not subject to 90/10 requirements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Adtalem’s primary source of liquidity is the cash received from payments for student tuition, fees, books, and other educational materials. These payments include funds originating as financial aid from various federal and state loan and grant programs, student and family educational loans, employer educational reimbursements, scholarships, and student and family financial resources. Adtalem continues to provide financing options for its students, including Adtalem’s credit extension programs.

The pattern of cash receipts during the year is seasonal. Adtalem’s cash collections on accounts receivable peak at the start of each institution’s term. Accounts receivable reach their lowest level at the end of each institution’s term.

Adtalem’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents balance of $194.0 million and $219.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively, included cash and cash equivalents held at Adtalem’s international operations of $5.8 million and $4.6 million as of December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, respectively, which is available to Adtalem for general corporate purposes.

Cash Flow Summary

Operating Activities

The following table provides a summary of cash flows from operating activities (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended
	December 31,
	2024		2023
Income from continuing operations	$	117,421	$	49,672
Non-cash items		114,746		95,337
Changes in assets and liabilities		(166,210)		(72,656)
Net cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations	$	65,957	$	72,353

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations in the six months ended December 31, 2024 was $66.0 million compared to $72.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease was driven by changes in working capital, partially offset by income from continuing operations and non-cash items. The increase of $19.4 million in non-cash items between the six months ended December 31, 2024 and the six months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily driven by an increase in deferred income taxes and stock-based compensation, partially offset by a decrease in amortization of acquired intangible assets. The decrease of $93.6 million in cash generated from changes in assets and liabilities between the six months ended December 31, 2024 and the six months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to timing differences in accounts and financing receivables, prepaid assets, cloud computing implementation assets, accounts payable, accrued payroll and benefits, accrued liabilities, accrued interest, and deferred revenue.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $20.2 million and $19.5 million, respectively, and was primarily driven by capital expenditures of $21.1 million and $19.6 million, respectively. The capital expenditures in fiscal year 2025 primarily consisted of spending for information technology investments and Chamberlain’s campus development. For the remainder of fiscal year 2025, we expect capital spending on information technology, new campus development at Chamberlain, and facility improvements at the medical and veterinary schools. Management anticipates full fiscal year 2025 capital spending to be in the $55 to $65 million range. The source of funds for this capital spending will be from operations or the Credit Facility (as defined and discussed in Note 13 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

On March 1, 2022, we announced that the Board authorized Adtalem’s thirteenth share repurchase program, which allowed Adtalem to repurchase up to $300.0 million of its common stock through February 25, 2025. On January 16, 2024, Adtalem completed its thirteenth share repurchase program. On January 19, 2024, we announced that the Board authorized Adtalem’s fourteenth share repurchase program, which allows Adtalem to repurchase up to $300.0 million of its common stock through January 16, 2027. As of December 31, 2024, $140.1 million of authorized share repurchases were remaining under the fourteenth share repurchase program. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will be determined based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors. See Note 14 “Share Repurchases” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our share repurchase programs.

On March 1, 2021, we issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), which mature on March 1, 2028. On August 12, 2021, Adtalem entered into its new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for (1) a $850.0 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan B”) with a maturity date of August 12, 2028 and (2) a $400.0 million senior secured revolving loan facility (“Revolver”) with a maturity date of August 12, 2026. We refer to the Term Loan B and Revolver collectively as the “Credit Facility.” As of December 31, 2024, the principal balance of the Notes and Term Loan B was $405.0 million and $253.3 million, respectively. On January 17, 2025, we made an additional prepayment of $100.0 million on the Term Loan B, reducing the principal balance on the Term Loan B to $153.3 million as of January 17, 2025. See Note 13 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Notes and our Credit Agreement.

In the event of unexpected market conditions or negative economic changes that could negatively affect Adtalem’s earnings and/or operating cash flow, Adtalem maintains a $400.0 million revolving credit facility with availability of $301.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

Material Cash Requirements

Long-Term Debt – As of December 31, 2024, we have principal balances of $405.0 million of Notes and $253.3 million of Term Loan B, which requires interest payments. With previous Term Loan B prepayments, we are no longer required to make quarterly principal installment payments on the Term Loan B. On January 17, 2025, we made an additional prepayment of $100.0 million on the Term Loan B, reducing the principal balance on the Term Loan B to $153.3 million as of January 17, 2025. See Note 13 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Notes and our Credit Agreement.

As of December 31, 2024, Adtalem had $179.0 million of letters of credit outstanding in favor of ED. See “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in Note 13 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Many states require private-sector postsecondary education institutions to post surety bonds for licensure. In the U.S., Adtalem has posted $63.9 million of surety bonds as of December 31, 2024 with regulatory authorities on behalf of Chamberlain, Walden, AUC, RUSM, and RUSVM.

Operating Lease Obligations – We have operating lease obligations for the minimum payments required under various lease agreements which are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we sublease certain space to third parties, which partially offsets the lease obligations at these facilities. See Note 11 “Leases” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our lease agreements.

Cautionary Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future events based on certain assumptions and include any statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact, which includes statements regarding Adtalem’s future growth. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “future,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “can,” “continue,” “preliminary,” “range,” and similar terms. These forward-looking statements are subject to risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the statements. These risks and uncertainties include the risk factors described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2024 Form 10-K and that might be contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which should be read in conjunction with the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are based on

39

information available to us as of the date any such statements are made, and Adtalem assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations

We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Adtalem’s ongoing operations as seen through the eyes of management and are 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 this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

Adjusted net income (most comparable GAAP measure: net income) – Measure of Adtalem’s net income adjusted for restructuring expense, business integration expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation reserve, debt modification costs, loss on assets held for sale, and income from discontinued operations.

Adjusted earnings per share (most comparable GAAP measure: diluted earnings per share) – Measure of Adtalem’s diluted earnings per share adjusted for restructuring expense, business integration expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation reserve, debt modification costs, loss on assets held for sale, and income from discontinued operations.

Adjusted operating income (most comparable GAAP measure: operating income) – Measure of Adtalem’s operating income adjusted for restructuring expense, business integration expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, litigation reserve, debt modification costs, and loss on assets held for sale. This measure is applied on a consolidated and segment basis, depending on the context of the discussion.

Adjusted EBITDA (most comparable GAAP measure: net income) – Measure of Adtalem’s net income adjusted for income from discontinued operations, interest expense, other income, net, provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, amortization of cloud computing implementation assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring expense, business integration expense, litigation reserve, loss on assets held for sale, and debt modification costs. This measure is applied on a consolidated and segment basis, depending on the context of the discussion. Provision for income taxes, interest expense, and other income, net is not recorded at the reportable segments, and therefore, the segment adjusted EBITDA reconciliations begin with operating income.

A description of special items in our non-GAAP financial measures described above are as follows:

● Restructuring expense primarily related to workforce reductions, costs to exit certain course offerings, and prior real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our restructuring expense.

● Business integration expense include expenses related to the Walden acquisition and certain costs related to growth transformation initiatives. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our business integration expense.

● Amortization of acquired intangible assets.

● Amortization of cloud computing implementation assets.

● Reserves related to significant litigation, debt modification costs related to refinancing our Term Loan B loan, and loss on assets held for sale related to a fair value write-down on assets.

● Income from discontinued operations includes expense from ongoing litigation costs and settlements related to the DeVry University divestiture and the earn-outs we received.

The following tables provide a reconciliation from the most directly comparable GAAP measure to these non-GAAP financial measures. The operating income reconciliation is included in the results of operations section within this MD&A.
