“Strong execution, both during the fourth quarter and for the full year, allows Lincoln to enter 2022 in an extremely strong operating position with
approximately 850 more students compared to the year-ago period. Additionally, the proceeds from the sale-leaseback transactions significantly improved our liquidity, giving us one of the strongest balance sheets in Lincoln’s 75-year history,”
said Scott Shaw, President & CEO. “Our continued success, high graduate placement rates and a more favorable outlook for high school student starts compared to a year ago, gives us a high degree of confidence that we can achieve even
greater results for years to come.
1
The expected proceeds of approximately $34.0 million from the contemplated sale of our Nashville, Tennessee property, assuming consummation, combined with
our continuing strong cash flow provides the Company with even more financial resources to execute our near and long-term growth strategies. During 2022, we plan to begin the relocation of our Nashville campus to a new and more efficient
facility in the Nashville area. Furthermore, we plan to expand our footprint through a new campus while continuing to invest in new programs. We are poised to execute these strategies to generate consistent, long-term growth while enhancing our
ability to serve our growing student population as well as our corporate partners.”
2021 FOURTH QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
(Quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to quarter ended December 31, 2020)
| • |
Revenue increased $6.0 million, or 7.4%, to $87.8 million from $81.8 million. The increase in revenue resulted from a 6.3% increase in average population, driven by a 7.5% increase in starts for the year.
|
| • |
Educational services and facilities expense increased $3.3 million, or 10.6%, to $34.8 million from $31.5 million in the prior year comparable period. Increased costs were primarily concentrated in instructional expense,
books and tools expense and facilities expense. In addition to increases resulting from higher student populations, instruction expense rose due to higher salaries as a consequence of inflationary pressures and instructor shortages,
particularly in nursing programs. Facility expenses increased $0.6 million due to additional rent expense in the current quarter as a result of the sale-leaseback transactions.
|
| • |
Selling, general and administrative expense increased $1.6 million, or 4.0% to $40.8 million primarily due to an increase in benefits expense driven by an uptick in medical claims in the current year in combination with a
slight increase in salaries.
|
| • |
Gain on sale of assets was $22.5 million recorded upon the consummation of the sale-leaseback transactions involving the Denver, Colorado and Grand Prairie, Texas campuses.
|
| • |
Operating income increased to $34.0 million in 2021, from $11.1 million in the prior year period. The increase was mainly driven by a $22.5 million gain resulting from the sale-leaseback transactions, partially offset by $0.6
million of additional rent expense related to the two campuses that were subject of the sale-leaseback transactions and a $0.7 million non-cash impairment charge to adjust the book value of a former campus facility, which closed about 10
years ago. Excluding the impact of the sale-leaseback transactions and the impairment charge as a one-time event, operating income would have increased $1.7 million, or 15.2%.
|
| • |
Net interest expense increased
$0.8 million, to $1.1 million from $0.3 million in the prior year comparable period. The additional expense was driven by the sale-leaseback transactions which included $0.5 million related to terminating the interest rate hedge early
and $0.5 million non-cash write-off of deferred finance fees.
|
| • |
Net income of $24.0 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared to $46.0 million, or $1.44 per diluted share. In 2021, income tax provision was $12.5 million compared to $35.1 million
tax benefit related to a full valuation allowance reversal in 2020.
|
| • |
Debt-free balance sheet as
of December 31, 2021 after payoff of all outstanding debt in the fourth quarter compared to $17.8 million of borrowings in the prior year.

FOURTH QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS
Transportation and Skilled Trades Segment
Revenue increased $4.3 million, or 7.3% to $62.9 million from $58.6 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase in revenue results from a 7.5% higher
average student population, driven by the 9.0% increase in student starts for the year.
Operating income improved to $16.6 million from $15.6 million in the prior year comparable quarter, driven mainly by revenue growth.
Healthcare and Other Professions Segment
Revenue increased $1.7 million, or 7.4% to $24.9 million from $23.2
million in the prior year comparable quarter. The increase in revenue results from a 3.9% higher average student population, driven by the 4.8% increase in student starts for
the year, and a 3.3% increase in average revenue per student in the current quarter.
Operating income was $4.1 million down slightly from $4.7 million in the prior year comparable quarter due primarily to higher instructional salaries.
Corporate and Other
This category includes unallocated expenses incurred on behalf of the entire Company. Corporate and other expenses were $8.5 million compared to
$9.2 million after excluding the $22.5 million gain from sale-leaseback transactions, partially offset by a one-time non-cash impairment charge of $0.7 million in the current year.
YEAR-END FINANCIAL RESULTS
(Period ended December 31, 2021 compared to December 31, 2020)
| • |
Total revenue increased by $42.2 million, or 14.4%, to $335.3 million, compared to $293.1 million
|
| • |
Student starts grew by 1,081 or 7.5%, to 15,402 compared to 14,321

FULL YEAR 2022 OUTLOOK
Through the combination of cash generated from Lincoln’s strong operating performance and additional liquidity provided by the
sale-leaseback transactions, Lincoln entered 2022 with over $80 million of net cash. In addition, the Company has availability under its credit agreement and anticipates increasing its cash position from the contemplated consummation of the sale
of its Nashville, Tennessee campus. Lincoln will utilize this strong balance sheet to increase its level of investment in growth strategies and operating efficiencies.
Specific operating and financial guidance for the coming year is as follows:
| • |
Revenue in the range of $350 million to $365 million
|
| • |
Student start growth in the range of 5% to 10%
|
| • |
Adjusted EBITDA* in the range of $35.0 million to $40.0 million
|
| • |
Net Income in the range of $17.0 million to $22.0 million
|
| • |
Capital expenditures in the range of $7.0 million to $9.0 million
|
*See Use of “Non-GAAP Financial Information” below
The 2022 guidance excludes the impact of the contemplated consummation of the sale and relocation of the Nashville, Tennessee campus, which is under
contract, as well as additional costs associated with a new potential campus. The outlook is based on, among other things, current enrollment trends and does not account for the impact from continuing COVID-19 issues or any new COVID-19 variants.
Accordingly, as is always the case, the guidance may be revised as the year unfolds due to changes in student demand and other factors.
The Company is also providing additional information as to the progress of operations through 2022. This information represents management’s current
expectations for the upcoming year and may be revised in-line with the developing business environment.
Revenue
Pursuant to the Company’s seasonality patterns, it is anticipated that approximately 45% of revenue will occur in the first half of the year.
Student starts are expected to increase in the low single digits during the first quarter, with higher start growth in the remainder of the year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are expected to range in the low to mid $80 million level each quarter, with the third
quarter’s expenses expected to reflect the high point of the year, consistent with the seasonality of the Company’s business. This higher level of operating expenses for the full year includes the addition of $3.2 million of rent expense resulting
from the sale-leaseback transactions as well as $2.0 million of additional spending related to growth initiatives, efforts to streamline operations and development and implementation of improvements to Lincoln’s hybrid teaching model. First
quarter operating expenses will show the largest increase year over year, as the first quarter of 2021 included a one-time $3.0 million benefit due to Care Act funds credited to student’s accounts.
4
Other
Interest expense, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation expense are expected to be approximately $0.4 million, $6.6 million, and
$4.5 million respectively, recognized evenly throughout the year. The effective tax rate for the year is projected to be 28.5%.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures that
exclude certain significant items as a means to understand the performance of its business. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, reconciled net cash and Adjusted Pre-tax income are measures not recognized in financial statements presented in accordance with
GAAP.
| • |
We define EBITDA as income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
|
| • |
We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus stock compensation expense and adjustments for items not considered part of the Company’s normal recurring operations.
|
| • |
We define reconciled net cash as our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash less both the short and long-term portion under the Company’s credit agreement, and deferred financing fees.
|
| • |
We define Adjusted pre-tax income as pre-tax net income before gain on sale of assets, non-cash impairment charges and expenses incurred resulting from the consummation of the sale-leaseback transactions.
|
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, reconciled net cash and Adjusted Pre-tax income are presented because we believe they are useful indicators of our performance and our ability
to make strategic acquisitions and meet capital expenditures and debt service requirements. However, they are not intended to represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss) as
indicators of operating performance or cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, reconciled net cash and Adjusted Pre-tax income are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, reconciled net cash and Adjusted Pre-tax income:
