American Public Education Reports First Quarter 2020 Results
Highlights Expected Increases in New Student Enrollment and Strong Financial Position
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va., May 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- American Public Education, Inc. (Nasdaq: APEI) – parent company of online learning provider American Public University System (APUS) and campus-based Hondros College of Nursing (HCN) – announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
First Quarter Highlights:
- Consolidated revenue increased 1.6% year-over-year to $74.6 million.
- Net income was $2.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2019.
- Net course registrations at APUS increased by approximately 1% year-over-year.^1^
- APUS student enrollment increased 2% to 82,800 students, compared to the prior year.^2,3^
Additional Highlights:
- For second quarter 2020, at APUS, net course registrations by new students are expected to increase between 8% and 12% year-over-year.
- For the three months ended June 30, 2020 (Spring Term), new student enrollment at HCN increased 56% year-over-year - a spring-term record for new student enrollment - and total student enrollment increased 14% year-over-year.^4^
- American Public Education anticipates second quarter 2020 consolidated revenue to increase between 8% and 12%, compared to the prior year period. The Company expects diluted earnings per share to be between $0.20 and $0.25 in the second quarter of 2020.
- In response to COVID-19 pandemic, APEI has successfully implemented its business continuity plan, which includes moving nearly all employees to remote work and supporting learners so that they may continue with their studies at APUS and HCN without significant interruption.
"We are grateful that our operations have not suffered negative impacts from pandemic-related issues thus far, ensuring that our students' higher education journey can continue on schedule. I am incredibly inspired by our faculty and staff who have managed to move all operations – Hondros, APUS and APEI - to remote working. Certainly our primary concern has been and continues to be the health and safety of all employees and students." said Angela Selden, Chief Executive Officer of APEI.
"In these challenging times, we could not be more pleased with momentum across all of our business units. Our institutions of higher learning are well positioned financially and operationally to serve current and prospective students, as well as visiting students whose education may have been disrupted or those considering alternative options for the fall," Selden added. "Our unique capabilities, coupled with our affordability and culture of service, will enable us to fulfill our mission with distinction and carry us well into the future."
Financial Results:
Total consolidated revenue for the first quarter of 2020 increased by 1.6% to $74.6 million, compared to total revenue of $73.4 million in the first quarter of 2019. The increase was driven by a $1.4 million, or 2.1%, increase in APEI Segment revenue and a $0.2 million, or 2.7%, decrease in HCN Segment revenue.
Consolidated income from operations before interest income and income taxes in the first quarter of 2020 was $2.7 million, compared to consolidated income from operations before interest income and income taxes of $1.4 million in the first quarter of 2019. APEI Segment income from operations before interest income and income taxes decreased by $3.9 million, compared to the prior year period. APEI Segment income includes a $2.3 million increase in pretax advertising costs as compared to the prior year period and $0.9 million in pretax costs related to APEI's information technology transformation project. HCN Segment loss from operations before interest income and income taxes decreased to $0.9 million, compared to a loss of $6.1 million in the prior year period.
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $2.4 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the same period of 2019. The weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 were approximately 15.1 million and 16.7 million, respectively.
Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2019 was $5.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share. Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2019 excludes a non-cash expense of $5.9 million associated with a reduction in the carrying value of goodwill for the Company's HCN Segment, as well as the applicable tax effect of the adjustments. For additional information regarding adjusted net income (a non-GAAP measure), please refer to "GAAP to Adjusted Net Income Reconciliation" in the financial tables that follow.
Total cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020 were approximately $196.8 million, compared to $202.7 million as of December 31, 2019. Capital expenditures were approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $1.6 million in the prior year period.

Second Quarter 2020 Outlook:
The following statements are based on APEI's current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason unless required by law.
American Public Education anticipates second quarter 2020 consolidated revenue to increase between 8% and 12%, compared to the prior year period. The Company expects diluted earnings per share to be between $0.20 and $0.25 in the second quarter of 2020.
American Public Education expects the following results from its subsidiaries in the second quarter of 2020:
- At APUS, net course registrations by new students are expected to increase between 8% and 12% year-over-year and net course registrations are expected to increase between 6% and 10% year-over-year.
- At HCN, new student enrollment increased approximately 56% and total student enrollment increased approximately 14% year-over-year for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure ("Adjusted Net Income"):
This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. American Public Education believes that the use of adjusted net income is useful because it allows investors to better compare results to prior year periods.
This non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The principal limitation of adjusted net income is that it excludes expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In addition, non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses are excluded.
The Company is presenting adjusted net income in connection with its GAAP results and urges investors to review the reconciliation of adjusted net income to the comparable GAAP financial measures that is included in the tables following this press release (under the caption "GAAP to Adjusted Net Income Reconciliation") and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
Webcast:
A live webcast of the Company's first quarter 2020 earnings conference call will be broadcast today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. This call will be open to listeners who log in through the Company's investor relations website, www.apei.com.
A replay of the live webcast will also be available starting approximately one hour after the conclusion of the live conference call. The replay will be archived and available to listeners for one year.
