LAUREATE EDUCATION REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2016 FINANCIAL RESULTS

 

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND - March 28, 2017 - Laureate Education, Inc. (NASDAQ: LAUR), the global leader in higher education, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016, and provided guidance for the full year 2017.

 

Fourth Quarter 2016 Highlights (compared to fourth quarter 2015):

 

·                  Total enrollments increased 2%, up 3% excluding asset dispositions

 

·                  Revenue increased 2% to $1,176 million; up 8% on an organic constant currency basis

 

·                  Operating income increased by 37% to $171 million

 

·                  Net income for the quarter was $38 million, as compared to a net loss of $16 million in the fourth quarter of 2015

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA increased 25% to $285 million; up 34% on an organic constant currency basis

 

·                  Fourth quarter financial results benefited, in part, from the expected favorable timing impact related to the academic calendar (largely shifting timing of revenue and profits from the 2nd and 3rd quarter to the 4th quarter)

 

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Highlights (compared to year ended December 31, 2015):

 

·                  Revenue was down 1% to $4,244 million; up 6% on an organic constant currency basis

 

·                  Operating income increased by 14% to $383 million

 

·                  Net income for the year was $366 million, as compared to a net loss of $316 million in fiscal year 2015, partially due to gains from asset sales

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $766 million; up 12% on an organic constant currency basis

 

“Laureate is pleased to report strong operating and financial results for our fourth quarter and the full year of 2016,” said Doug Becker, Laureate founder, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our performance reflects our track record of delivering positive outcomes to our students while prioritizing accessibility and internationality, key factors for our continued success.”

 

“In many parts of the world, demand outweighs supply of quality higher education. With projected growth in the middle class population worldwide and limited government resources in many markets, our high-quality higher education institutions are well-positioned to meet this growing demand. And as a Public Benefit Corporation, we are committed to operating in a way that delivers strong outcomes to our students, employees and the communities we serve.”

Fourth Quarter 2016 Results

 

Total enrollments at December 31, 2016 grew 2% compared to December 31, 2015. Total enrollment growth reflects strong performance in certain Latin American markets (Peru, Mexico and Central America), partially offset by lower enrollment growth in Brazil related to the macroeconomic environment in Brazil and the reduction in the government student loan program in that market. Additionally, a planned strategic shift in AMEA and GPS to longer length of stay students with higher revenue and contribution margins affected growth rates during 2016. The sale of our business units in France (Europe segment) and Switzerland (GPS segment) resulted in the removal of those students from our enrollment base at December 31, 2016. Excluding the impact from the dispositions of France and Switzerland, total enrollment at December 31, 2016 increased by 3% compared to December 31, 2015.

 

Revenue in the fourth quarter of 2016 was $1,176 million, a 2% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. Operating income increased 37% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. Net income was $38 million compared to a net loss of $16 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Diluted earnings per share were $0.27 per share for the fourth quarter of 2016.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $285 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, a 25% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. On an organic (i.e., excluding acquisitions and asset dispositions) constant currency basis, revenue increased 8% and Adjusted EBITDA increased 34% compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. The fourth quarter of 2016 benefited, in part, from favorable timing impacts related to changes in our academic calendar. Therefore, the full year fiscal 2016 results are more indicative of run-rate operational growth rates.

 

Laureate ended the fourth quarter of 2016 with $465 million of cash on hand and $790 million in liquidity, including Laureate’s undrawn revolver. As of December 31, 2016, Laureate had $4.0 billion of gross debt and $3.6 billion net debt. Pro forma for: (i) the receipt of $457 million of net proceeds from Laureate’s initial public offering (the “IPO’’), which closed on February 6, 2017, (ii) the receipt of the remaining funds ($55 million, net) in January 2017 from the issuance of shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, and (iii) the conversion of $250 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.250% Senior Notes due 2019 which are contractually obligated to be exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock (the “Exchange Notes’’) within 366 days of the closing of our IPO, based on a conversion price of $14.00 per share of Class A common stock (the price per share to the public in our IPO); net debt was $2.8 billion and net leverage (net debt / Adjusted EBITDA pro-forma for asset divestitures) was 3.8x.

 

Year-to-Date 2016 Performance

 

For our fiscal year 2016, revenue was $4,244 million, a 1% decrease compared to fiscal year 2015. Operating income increased 14% compared to our fiscal year 2015. Net income for our fiscal year 2016 was $366 million compared to a net loss of $316 million in the prior year, affected by a $407 million gain on sale of subsidiaries. Diluted earnings per share were $2.76 per share for the fiscal year 2016.

 

Adjusted EBITDA was $766 million for the fiscal year 2016, a 9% increase compared to the fiscal year 2015. On an organic (i.e. excluding acquisitions and asset dispositions) constant currency basis, revenue increased 6% and Adjusted EBITDA increased 12%.

Outlook for Fiscal 2017

 

Laureate is providing the following financial guidance for full-year 2017. The guidance for 2017 reflects the impact from the sale of our French and Swiss assets in 2016, which will unfavorably impact both year-over-year Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA by approximately (3%). Additionally, currency translation from foreign exchange rates, based on current rates, is expected to cause a (1%) reduction year-over-year in 2017 for Adjusted EBITDA, with no material impact on Revenue expected.

 

Based on the current foreign exchange spot rates(1), Laureate expects its organic (i.e., excluding acquisitions and asset dispositions) performance to be as follows:

 

·                  Total enrollments of 1,064,000 to 1,080,000, representing 2.0-3.5% growth as compared to December 31, 2016

 

·                  Revenues of $4,287 million to $4,348 million, representing 4.5-6.0% organic (pro forma for asset disposition in 2016) constant currency growth

 

·                  Adjusted EBITDA of $789 million to $804 million, representing 8.0-10.0% organic (pro forma for asset disposition in 2016) constant currency growth

 

·                  Capex spending at 7% to 8% of revenues to support growth initiatives and ongoing maintenance

 

·                  Total Class A shares outstanding to increase by approximately 55.7 million upon conversion of the Exchange Notes and $400 million of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (assuming payment-in-kind dividends), in each case within 366 days of the closing of our IPO, based on a conversion price of $14.00 per share of Class A common stock, the price per share to the public in our IPO

 

·                  Reported earnings per share in 2017 to be affected by a $290-$300 million charge to earnings per share related to accounting for the non-cash beneficial redemption and conversion features due to the terms of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock

 


(1) Based on actual FX rates for January-February 2017, and current spot FX rates (local currency per US dollar) of MXN 19.03, BRL 3.08, CLP 661.00, PEN 3.25, EUR 0.93 for March - December 2017. FX impact may change based on fluctuations in currency rates in future periods.

 

An outlook for 2017 net income and a reconciliation of the forward-looking 2017 Adjusted EBITDA outlook to net income are not being provided as Laureate does not currently have sufficient data to accurately estimate the variables and individual adjustments for such outlook and reconciliation.

 

Please see the “Forward-Looking Statements” section in this release for a discussion of certain risks related to this outlook

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release includes statements that express Laureate’s opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. Laureate’s actual results may vary significantly from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘seeks,’’ ‘‘approximately,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘estimates’’ or ‘‘anticipates’’ or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to guidance, estimated and projected Adjusted EBITDA and earnings, costs, expenditures (including capital expenditures), cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed in the ‘‘Risk Factors” section of our Rule 424(b) prospectus filed with the SEC on February 2, 2017, our Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC and other filings made with the SEC. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the time of this release and we do not undertake to publicly update or revise them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

 

Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures

 

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) throughout this press release, Laureate has provided a non-GAAP measurement of Adjusted EBITDA. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a key input into the formula used by the compensation committee of our board of directors and our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the payment of incentive compensation to our executive officers and other members of our management team. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled from the respective measures under GAAP in the attached table “Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”

Forward Looking Statements 2 This presentation includes statements that express Laureate's opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. The Laureate’s actual results may vary significantly from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘seeks,’’ ‘‘approximately,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘estimates’’ or ‘‘anticipates’’ or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to guidance, estimated and projected Adjusted EBITDA and earnings, costs, expenditures (including capital expenditures), cash flows, growth rates and financial results are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, and, therefore, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed in ‘‘Risk Factors” section of our 424(b) prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 2, 2017 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC, and other filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the time of this presentation and we do not undertake to publicly update or revise them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation contains certain non-GAAP measures which are provided to assist in an understanding of the business and performance of Laureate Education Inc. These measures should always be considered in conjunction with the appropriate GAAP measure. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the relevant GAAP measures are provided in our SEC filings. In addition, this presentation contains various operating data, including market share and market position, that are based on internal company data and management estimates. While management believes our internal company research is reliable and the definitions of our markets which are used herein are appropriate, neither such research nor these definitions have been verified by an independent source and there are inherent challenges and limitations involved in compiling data across various geographies and from various sources, including those discussed under “Market and Industry Data” in Laureate’s filings with the SEC.
