Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (GCE) (NASDAQ: LOPE) is a publicly traded education services company established in 2008. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, GCE provides comprehensive support services to 25 university partners, most notably Grand Canyon University (GCU). GCU, an Arizona non-profit corporation, offers a wide range of graduate and undergraduate programs, certificates, and emphases across nine colleges. These programs are available both online and on ground at its Phoenix campus and four additional off-site locations.
GCE's core operations involve delivering an extensive array of services to support its university partners' educational missions. These services include marketing, strategic enrollment management, counseling, financial services, technology, technical support, compliance, human resources, classroom operations, curriculum development, and faculty recruitment and training. By leveraging its technological solutions and operational processes, GCE enhances the educational experiences of students, faculty, and staff.
Recent financial updates highlight the company's steady performance. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, GCE reported a decrease in liquidity by $27.3 million from December 31, 2022, primarily due to share repurchases and capital expenditures. At the end of Q3 2023, unrestricted cash and investments stood at $154.4 million. The Board of Directors recently increased the stock repurchase program authorization by $200 million, with the current authorization expiring on March 1, 2025.
Despite facing regulatory challenges, including ongoing audits and lawsuits from federal agencies, GCE remains resilient. For instance, a recent risk-based audit by the Arizona State Approving Agency (SAA) for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs concluded with no findings against GCU. The audit was part of coordinated actions by federal agencies against GCU, which the university has vehemently contested.
Looking ahead to 2024, GCE projects robust financial performance with anticipated non-GAAP diluted income per share ranging from $7.39 to $7.91. The company continues to expand its services, recently reporting positive liquidity growth for Q1 2024, attributed to strong operational cash flows.
GCE's leadership, with over 30 years of expertise in the education services sector, positions the company uniquely to support large-scale educational initiatives. For more information, visit the company's website at www.gce.com.
