Management Commentary

"At APEI, we continue to simplify our business, execute on our growth strategy and deliver on our stated financial results,” said Angela Selden, President and Chief Executive Officer of APEI. “We exceeded the expectations we set for the second quarter with continued enrollment growth in our education units.”

“Our balance sheet was further improved through the redemption of our preferred equity, which will save approximately $6 million of go-forward annual cash expenses, and completed the sale of two corporate administrative buildings. In the second quarter, the Department of Education released the letter of credit of $24.5 million of cash that was previously held as restricted cash on our balance sheet. Finally, we are pleased to announce that we have completed the sale of GSUSA, which closed on July 25, 2025.”

Second Quarter and Full Year 2025 Outlook

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 June 30, 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.
