American Public Education Reports First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Net Income & Adjusted EBITDA Exceeded Guidance, Driven by Increased Enrollment and Operating Leverage in Rasmussen Segment

CHARLES TOWN, W.V. – May 12, 2025 -- American Public Education, Inc. (Nasdaq: APEI), a portfolio of education companies providing online and campus-based postsecondary education and career learning to over 125,000 students through four subsidiary institutions, has reported unaudited financial and operational results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Key First Quarter 2025 Highlights

Management Commentary

"This first quarter of 2025 proved to be an excellent start to the year,” said Angela Selden, President and Chief Executive Officer of APEI. “We exceeded the expectations we set forth for the first quarter largely due to strong enrollment trends at Rasmussen which are beginning to show the operating leverage benefits of greater enrollment and disciplined operations.”

“The areas for improvements that we have focused on over the past two years are driving better and more consistent financial results. We have been able to deliver better results due to improved operations and student outcomes at our educational units, and we continue to educate service-minded professionals in high demand industries," concluded Selden.

The following statements are based on APEI's current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. APEI undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason unless required by law. Refer to APEI's earnings conference call and presentation for further details.

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 March 31, 2025 and 2024, adjusted EBITDA excludes stock compensation, loss on disposals of long-lived assets, loss on assets held for sale, 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.
