Exhibit 99.1
American Public Education Reports Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results that Exceed Top End of Guidance
CORRECTION: The previous press release understated full year 2025 Net Income guidance. The updated full year 2025 Net Income guidance has been corrected.
Revenue, Net Income, EPS and Adjusted EBITDA All Exceeded Guidance and Prior Year
CHARLES TOWN, W.V. – November 10, 2025 -- American Public Education, Inc. (Nasdaq: APEI) is a company which, through its three subsidiary education institutions, transforms lives, advances careers and improves communities by providing online and campus-based postsecondary education to approximately 108,000 students. APEI has reported unaudited financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Key Third Quarter 2025 Highlights
| · | Consolidated revenue for Q3 2025 increased 7% year-over-year to $163.2 million. |
| o | Revenue for the quarter was driven by year-over-year revenue increases of 19% at Hondros College of Nursing (“HCN”), 16% at Rasmussen University (“RU”), and 8% at American Public University System (“APUS”), partially offset by a decrease of 90% at GSUSA (sold in July 2025); excluding Graduate School USA (“GSUSA”) from both periods, revenue would have increased 12% year-over-year. |
| · | Net income available to common stockholders for Q3 2025 was $5.6 million, or 660%, higher than net income available to common stockholders of $0.7 million in Q3 2024. | |
| · | Adjusted EBITDA increased 60% to $20.7 million compared to $12.9 million for Q3 2024, driven by increased revenue and margin expansion of 424 bps. | |
| · | Cash flows from operations increased 56% to $73.5 million from $47.3 million for Q3 2024. | |
| · | Strong balance sheet with $193.1 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at September 30, 2025, simplified capital structure and no net debt. | |
| · | Edward H. Codispoti joined the Company as its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer effective October 20, 2025. |
Management Commentary
"I am very pleased that we have again exceeded our guidance ranges for all metrics by continuing to grow revenue and enrollment and by expanding margins,” said Angela Selden, President and Chief Executive Officer of APEI. “Rasmussen delivered double-digit enrollment growth and positive EBITDA in the third quarter. Strong registrations at APUS also meaningfully contributed to revenue growth and margin expansion.”
“In the fourth quarter, campus-based enrollments at Rasmussen continue to accelerate with 13% growth. At APUS, the government shutdown has muted military enrollments. We are pleased that several of the military branches are now authorizing tuition assistance (“TA”) benefits through the $100 million of TA funds authorized in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Meanwhile, we have implemented various cost savings measures and are continuing to evaluate additional opportunities to mitigate the adverse impacts.”
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) and adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA less non-cash expenses such as stock compensation and non-recurring expenses). APEI believes that the use of these measures is useful because they allow investors to better evaluate APEI's operating profit and cash generation capabilities.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, adjusted EBITDA excludes stock compensation, loss on disposals of long-lived assets, loss on sale of subsidiary, transition services, severance expense, other professional fees, and loss on leases.
These non-GAAP measures 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 our non-GAAP measures is that they exclude 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.
APEI is presenting EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in connection with its GAAP results and urges investors to review the reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the comparable GAAP financial measures that is included in the tables following this press release (under the captions "GAAP Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA" and "GAAP Outlook Net Income to Outlook Adjusted EBITDA") and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
