Insights

Legacy Education's Q2 FY2025 results reveal a compelling growth story with several key strengths and some areas warranting attention. The 29.2% revenue growth to $13.6 million is particularly impressive when considering the challenging environment for higher education institutions.

The company's operational metrics show strong fundamentals. The student population increase of 44.8% significantly outpaces revenue growth, suggesting potential for future revenue acceleration as these students progress through their programs. The acquisition of Contra Costa Medical Career College strategically positions LGCY in the healthcare education sector, where demand for skilled professionals remains robust.

However, investors should note the cost structure dynamics. Educational services expenses grew 35.3%, outpacing revenue growth, while G&A expenses increased 32.5%. This cost growth reflects necessary investments in program quality and expansion but may pressure margins in the near term. The 3.0% increase in new student starts, while positive, shows more modest organic growth compared to total enrollment gains.

The balance sheet remains solid with $16.9 million in cash and $18.9 million in working capital, providing ample resources for continued strategic investments and potential future acquisitions. The adjusted EBITDA of $1.9 million demonstrates healthy cash flow generation, though margins will need monitoring as the company scales.

Looking ahead, the surpassing of 3,000 enrolled students in January 2025 indicates continued momentum. The focus on healthcare education through the Contra Costa acquisition appears well-timed given persistent healthcare workforce shortages. The company's ability to maintain enrollment growth while managing integration costs and regulatory compliance will be important for sustaining this positive trajectory.

Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement Legacy Education's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, Legacy Education furnishes certain adjusted non-GAAP supplemental information to our financial results regarding EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. This reconciliation adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude operating income to adjust the impact of non cash compenation in the periods presented. We use such adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management team believes that by excluding the effects of such adjusted GAAP-related items that, in their opinion, do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations, it enhances investors' overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future by (i) providing a more comparable measure of our continuing business, as well as greater understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business, (ii) affording a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to our peer companies, and (iii) enabling investors to consider our operating results on both a GAAP and adjusted non-GAAP basis (including following the integration period of our prior and proposed acquisitions). However, this adjusted non-GAAP information is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and should be considered in conjunction with our GAAP results as the items excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP information may have a material impact on Legacy's financial results. A reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP adjustments to Legacy's GAAP financial results is included in the tables at the end of this press release.

In the noted fiscal periods, we adjusted net income for the items identified from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our adjusted non-GAAP financial measures:

Stock-based compensation - We exclude stock-based compensation to be consistent with the way management and, in our view, the overall financial community, evaluates our performance and the methods used by analysts to calculate consensus estimates. The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. As such, we do not include these charges in operating plans.
