Financial and Other Results
As previously announced in February 2006, all financial information for 2005 has been restated to reflect a preferential change in accounting for tuition revenue.
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $346.6 million, an increase of 25% compared to total revenues of $276.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Total operating income for the fourth quarter of 2006 increased to $79.5 million, versus operating income of $69.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2005. Income from continuing operations available to common shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $54.1 million or $1.02 per diluted share including a ($0.03) EPS impact for SFAS123R stock option expense.
Included in the 2006 fourth quarter and full year results are impacts from the application of accounting for minority share ownership purchase agreements (“minority put agreements”). The Company concluded that the cumulative effect of the change is immaterial for restatement of prior years and as such, all adjustments have been recorded in 2006. Fiscal 2006 results were negatively impacted by a charge of ($0.13) per share ($0.03 per share relates to prior years) as a result of applying EITF 00-4, “Majority owner’s accounting for a transaction in the shares of a consolidated subsidiary and a derivative indexed to the minority interest in that subsidiary”, and ASR-268, Accounting Series Release 268 - “Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stocks”.
2
Under EITF 00-4, the Company treats minority share ownership purchase agreements (“minority put agreement”) as a financing arrangement and accounts for the acquired company on a combined basis as if it owned 100% of the venture. As a result, the Company’s balance sheet reflects a higher level of goodwill and an increased amount of debt. From an income statement perspective, applying EITF 00-4 resulted in a net $0.05 fourth quarter reduction in earnings. Specifically, interest expense increased as the agreement is now accounted for as debt, and the minority interest expense decreased as the acquired company is now accounted for as if it were a wholly owned venture.
Under ASR-268, the Company accounts for the minority partner’s put agreement similar to a mandatorily redeemable security. As such, to the extent the value of the minority partner’s put exceeds the minority interest, the Company has increased the minority interest for the obligation with a corresponding offset to equity. The Company’s earnings are not impacted for these charges to equity; however there is an impact to EPS. In 2006, EPS was reduced by $0.08 for the effect of this change. However, unlike EITF 00-4, the accounting under ASR-268 results in EPS timing differences. The negative EPS charges will ultimately be reversed once the minority partner exercises its put and the Company acquires the remaining ownership in the acquired company. (Please refer to the company’s Fiscal 2006 10-K for additional detail regarding the impact of this application of accounting).
Excluding the impact of the accounting for minority share ownership purchase agreements (“minority put agreements”) and the impact of stock option expense, EPS from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2006 would have been $1.18 or a 39% increase over fourth quarter 2005. (For details see Reg G Reconciliation in the financial tables that follow).
For the year ended December 31, 2006, total revenues were $1,145.8 million, an increase of 31% compared to total revenues of $875.8 million in the same period of 2005. Total operating income for the year 2006 increased to $148.4 million, versus operating income of $130.9 million in 2005. Income from continuing operations available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2006 was $104.2 million or $1.96 per diluted share, an increase of 18% over 2005. Excluding the impact of FAS123R stock option expense of ($0.10) per share and the full year impact of the accounting for minority share ownership agreements of ($0.13) per share, EPS would have been $2.19 or a 32% increase over 2005 results. (For details see Reg G Reconciliation in the financial tables that follow).
Total cash, including restricted cash, and marketable securities at December 31, 2006 were $130.6 million, while total company debt was $468.7 million.
