Universal Technical Institute Reports Fiscal Year 2025 First Quarter Results
Delivers Financial and Operational Outperformance in Fiscal Q1; Raises Fiscal 2025 Guidance Ranges for All Metrics
PHOENIX, ARIZ. - February 5, 2025 - Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (NYSE: UTI), a leading workforce solutions provider of transportation, skilled trades and healthcare education programs, reported financial results for the fiscal 2025 first quarter ended December 31, 2024. Universal Technical Institute, Inc. operates in two reportable segments, Universal Technical Institute (UTI) and Concorde Career Colleges (Concorde), and together with its segments and subsidiaries is referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.”
•Revenue of $201.4 million representing 15.3% growth versus the comparable period.
•Total new student starts grew 22.3% while average full-time active students grew 11.1% versus the comparable period.
•Net income of $22.2 million, an increase of 113.2% over the comparable period.
•Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $35.5 million, an increase of 44.8% over the comparable period.
•Full year guidance raised for all key metrics.
“In the first quarter of 2025, we continued to deliver on our growth, diversification, and optimization strategy, leading to outperformance across our key financial and operational metrics," said Jerome Grant, CEO of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. "Both divisions experienced strong year-over-year growth, with consolidated revenue increasing 15%, average full-time active students growing 11%, and new student starts growing over 22%, while considerably increasing our bottom line. As a result, I’m proud to report that we are increasing our guidance ranges for fiscal 2025. We are fully aligned with our strategic growth objectives and are making steady progress toward achieving them throughout the year.
"As a reminder, the beginning of this year officially marked the start of our North Star Phase II strategy, building on our proven track record of success and leveraging our strong balance sheet to create value for all stakeholders. Our focus on strategic investments, technological innovation, and strong partnerships positions us to expand our brand, drive enrollment, and continue delivering industry-leading student outcomes. With a clear vision and a commitment to excellence, we are well-positioned to achieve sustainable growth and create a positive impact for our students, faculty, staff, and shareholders in the years to come.”
Financial Results for the Three-Month Period Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to 2023
•Revenues increased 15.3% to $201.4 million compared to $174.7 million primarily due to the growth in average full-time active students at both UTI and Concorde.
•Operating expenses increased by 8.4% to $174.0 million, compared to $160.5 million primarily due the growth in average full-time active students at both UTI and Concorde and costs associated with program expansions.
•Operating income increased to $27.5 million compared to $14.2 million.
•Net income increased to $22.2 million compared to $10.4 million.
•Basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) were $0.41 and $0.40, respectively, compared to $0.18 and $0.17, respectively.
•Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 44.8% to $35.5 million compared to $24.5 million.
•Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 111.9% to $23.0 million.
•Adjusted free cash flow increased 85.1% to $18.9 million.
•New student starts of 5,313 compared to 4,346, with average full-time active students increasing 11.1%.
UTI
•Revenues of $131.5 million, an increase of 14.0% from the comparable period revenues of $115.4 million due primarily to growth in average full-time active students.
•Operating expenses were $106.0 million compared to $100.3 million. The increase was primarily due to growth in average full-time active students and additional expenses incurred related to new program launches.
•Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $31.9 million compared to $21.6 million.
•New student starts increased 19.0% to 2,753, while average full-time active students increased 8.0%.
Concorde
•Revenues of $70.0 million, an increase of 17.9% over the comparable period revenues of $59.3 million due primarily to growth in average full-time active students.
•Operating expenses were $58.8 million compared to $52.2 million. The increase was primarily due to growth in average full-time active students and additional expenses incurred during the current year related to new program launches.
•Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $13.0 million compared to $8.8 million.
•New student starts increased 26.0% to 2,560, while average full-time active students increased by 16.4%.
“Our first quarter results exceeded our expectations across both the top and bottom line,” said Christine Kline, Interim CFO of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. “The Concorde division continued its growth trajectory, driven by investments in marketing and admissions efforts that led to higher average full-time student enrollment and improved start rates. The UTI division demonstrated significant year-over-year growth, primarily driven by an increase in new student starts and higher average full-time students, with some of the growth driven by start deferrals from the fourth quarter into the first quarter as a result of FAFSA delays. The top-line growth combined with a shift in timing for strategic investments resulted in lower than anticipated spend in the quarter, and drove the outperformance on the bottom line.
“As we look at the remainder of 2025, we are raising our annual guidance ranges for all key metrics with the expectation to generate $810 million to $820 million in revenue, $122 million to $126 million in adjusted EBITDA, and 28,500 to 29,500 in new student starts. With favorable macro-economic dynamics, a healthy balance sheet, and an experienced team with a strong focus on executing our strategic growth initiatives, we believe we are well-positioned to meet our expectations for fiscal year 2025, along with our longer-term growth targets for Phase II of our North Star Strategy."
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
At December 31, 2024, the Company’s total available cash liquidity was $246.0 million which includes $74.0 million available from its revolving credit facility. Capital expenditures (“capex”) for the year-to date period were $3.3 million. The primary driver of capex for the quarter was the program expansions at both UTI and Concorde.

A live webcast of the call will be available via the Universal Technical Institute, Inc. investor relations website at https://investor.uti.edu. Please go to the website at least 10 minutes early to register, download and install any necessary audio software. The conference call webcast will be archived for fourteen days at https://investor.uti.edu.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information in this press release and may similarly disclose non-GAAP financial information on the related conference call. These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and are not intended to be and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company discloses these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they provide investors an additional analytical tool to clarify its results of operations and identify underlying trends. Additionally, the Company believes that these measures may also help investors compare its performance on a consistent basis across time periods. Additional details on our non-GAAP measures and the tables reconciling these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are provided below.
Adjusted EBITDA: The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and items not considered normal recurring operations.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow: The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for items not considered normal recurring operations.
Management utilizes adjusted figures as performance measures internally for operating decisions, strategic planning, annual budgeting and forecasting. For the periods presented, our adjustments for items that management does not consider to be normal recurring operations include:
•Integration-related costs for completed acquisitions: We have excluded integration costs related to business structure realignment and new programs for recent acquisitions to allow for comparable financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance. In addition, the nature and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. By excluding the referenced expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures, our management is able to further evaluate our ability to utilize existing assets and estimate their long-term value. Furthermore, our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance.
•Restructuring charges: In December 2023, we announced plans to consolidate the two Houston, Texas campus locations to align the curriculum, student facing systems, and support services to better serve students seeking careers in in-demand fields. As part of the transition, the MIAT Houston campus, acquired in November 2021, began a phased teach-out in May 2024, and such campus began operating
under the UTI brand. MIAT-Houston students who have not completed their programs before their program’s teach-out date may enroll at UTI-Houston to complete their program. Both facilities will remain in use post-consolidation.
To obtain a complete understanding of our performance, these measures should be examined in connection with net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual and quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Because the items excluded from these non-GAAP measures are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance under GAAP, these measures should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of our operating performance or liquidity. Exclusion of items in the non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Other companies, including other companies in the education industry, may define and calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure across similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is provided below and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations.
Forward Looking Statements
All statements contained in this press release and the related conference call, other than statements of historical fact, are "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). These forward-looking statements which address our expected future business and financial performance, may contain words such as "goal," "target," "future," "estimate," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "project," "may," "should," "will," the negative form of these expressions or similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding (1) the Company’s expectation that it will meet its fiscal year 2025 guidance for new student start growth, revenue growth, net income, diluted earnings per share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow; (2) the Company’s expectation that it will continue to expand its value proposition and build a business that can grow in double digits with potential upside, regardless of the economic environment; and (3) the Company’s expectation that it will succeed in new program launches next year. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could affect our actual results include, among other things, failure of our schools to comply with the extensive regulatory requirements for school operations; our failure to maintain eligibility for or our ability to process federal student financial assistance funds; the effect of current and future Title IV Program regulations arising out of negotiated rulemakings, including any potential reductions in funding or restrictions on the use of funds received through Title IV Programs; the effect of future legislative or regulatory initiatives related to veterans’ benefit programs; continued Congressional examination of the for-profit education sector; regulatory investigations of, or actions commenced against, us or other companies in our industry; changes in the state regulatory environment or budgetary constraints; our failure to execute on our growth and diversification strategy, including effectively identifying, establishing and operating additional schools, programs or campuses; our failure to realize the expected benefits of our acquisitions, or our failure to successfully integrate our acquisitions.; our failure to improve underutilized capacity at certain of our campuses; enrollment declines or challenges in our students’ ability to find employment as a result of macroeconomic conditions; our failure to maintain and expand existing industry relationships and develop new industry relationships; our ability to update and expand the content of existing programs and develop and integrate new programs in a timely and cost-effective manner while maintaining positive student outcomes; a loss of our senior management or other key employees; failure to comply with the restrictive covenants and our ability to pay the amounts when due under the credit agreement; the effect of our principal stockholder owning a significant percentage of our capital stock, and thus being able to influence certain corporate matters and the potential in the future to gain substantial control over our company;
the effect of public health pandemics, epidemics or outbreak, including COVID-19, and other risks that are described from time to time in our public filings. Further information on these and other potential factors that could affect the financial results or condition may be found in the company's filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statements made by us in this press release and the related conference call are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which it is made. We expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments, changes in expectations, any changes in events, conditions or circumstances, or otherwise.

2 Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Forward-looking statements may contain words such as "goal,“ "target," "future," "estimate," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "project," "may," "should," "will," the negative form of these expressions or similar expressions. These statements are based on our management’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions about future events, conditions and results and on information currently available to us. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. Discussions containing these forward-looking statements may be found, among other places, in the sections entitled “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and certain of our Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In addition, statements that refer to projections of earnings, revenue, costs or other financial items in future periods; anticipated growth and trends in our business or key markets; cost synergies, growth opportunities and other potential financial and operating benefits; future growth and revenues; future economic conditions and performance; anticipated performance of curriculum; plans, objectives and strategies for future operations; and other characterizations of future events or circumstances, and all other statements that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on currently available operating, financial and competitive information and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or implied in our forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our filings with the SEC. Important factors that could affect our actual results include, among other things, failure of our schools to comply with the extensive regulatory requirements for school operations; our failure to maintain eligibility for federal student financial assistance funds; the effect of current and future Title IV Program regulations arising out of negotiated rulemakings, including any potential reductions in funding or restrictions on the use of funds received through Title IV Programs; the effect of future legislative or regulatory initiatives related to veterans’ benefit programs; continued Congressional examination of the for-profit education sector; our failure to maintain eligibility for or the ability to process federal student financial assistance; regulatory investigations of, or actions commenced against, us or other companies in our industry; changes in the state regulatory environment or budgetary constraints; failure to comply with private education loan requirements; the effect of "borrower defense to repayment" regulation; the effect of postsecondary education regulatory environment as a results of U.S. federal elections; our failure to execute on our growth and diversification strategy, including effectively identifying, establishing and operating additional schools, programs or campuses; our failure to realize the expected benefits of our acquisitions, or our failure to successfully integrate our acquisitions; our failure to improve underutilized capacity at certain of our campuses; enrollment declines or challenges in our students’ ability to find employment as a result of macroeconomic conditions; our failure to maintain and expand existing industry relationships and develop new industry relationships; our ability to update and expand the content of existing programs and develop and integrate new programs in a timely and cost-effective manner while maintaining positive student outcomes; a loss of our senior management or other key employees; failure to comply with the restrictive covenants and our ability to pay the amounts when due under the Credit Agreement; increased scrutiny and changing expectations regarding our environmental, social and governance practices; the effect of public health pandemics, epidemics or outbreak, including COVID-19, and other risks that are described from time to time in our public filings. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Neither we nor any other person makes any representation as to the accuracy or completeness of these forward-looking statements and, except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to revise any forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties, and by us, relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry and our business. This data involves several assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

Executing Multifaceted Approach in Ongoing Expansion Efforts1 Optimize Add New Optimized Tailored Co-branded Program Expansions New Campuses Continue to add programs from our current portfolio to more existing campus locations Increase the capacity of current programs in current locations Launch new, in-demand program areas we do not currently offer Improved model for new campuses with more offerings for students and stronger financial profile for the company Geography-specific sites with a customized set of programs, for example skilled-trades-only2 locations for the UTI division in new markets, requiring less space and start-up costs 1. All initiatives contingent on requisite regulatory approvals. 2. Skilled-trades-only UTI campuses may include programs such as HVACR, Welding, Energy & Robotics but exclude Auto & Diesel, resulting in significant reductions to square footage and CapEx requirements. 3. See, for example, Company press release 8/1/2024 announcing a first-of-its-kind partnership to develop a co-branded campus with Heartland Dental. 10 Leverage deep industry relationships to partner in launching locations that will address the significant demand for our students in the workforce3

23 Differentiated Industry Partnerships UTI’s relationships with more than 35 leading brands, and other industry and employer partners for both UTI and Concorde, provide unique value propositions and competitive differentiation for our schools and students.

24 Non-GAAP Information
25 In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information. These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and are not intended to be and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company discloses these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they provide investors an additional analytical tool to clarify its results of operations and identify underlying trends. Additionally, the Company believes that these measures may also help investors compare its performance on a consistent basis across time periods. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and items not considered normal recurring operations. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for items not considered normal recurring operations. Management utilizes adjusted figures as performance measures internally for operating decisions, strategic planning, annual budgeting and forecasting. For the periods presented, our adjustments for items that management does not consider to be normal recurring operations include: • Acquisition-related costs: We have excluded costs associated with both potential and announced acquisitions to allow for comparable financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance. • Integration-related costs for completed acquisitions: We have excluded integration costs related to business structure realignment and new programs for recent acquisitions to allow for comparable financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance. In addition, the nature and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. By excluding the referenced expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures, our management is able to further evaluate our ability to utilize existing assets and estimate their long-term value. Furthermore, our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance. • One-time costs associated with new campus openings: During fiscal 2022, we opened new campus locations in Austin, Texas and Miramar, Florida. We continued to incur one-time costs during fiscal 2023 for the campus opening as we completed the build-out of the remaining programs in the new facilities. We disclose any campus adjustments as direct costs (net of any corporate allocations). Outfitting a new campus requires significant facility improvements and modifications, and the purchase of technical equipment and training aids necessary for teaching our programs, the combination of which requires a significant investment by the Company which would not be considered part of normal recurring operations. • Restructuring charges: In December 2023, we announced plans to consolidate the two Houston, Texas campus locations to align the curriculum, student facing systems, and support services to better serve students seeking careers in in-demand fields. As part of the transition, the MIAT-Houston campus, acquired in November 2021, began a phased teach-out in May 2024, and such campus began operating under the UTI brand. MIAT-Houston students who have not completed their programs before their program’s teach-out date may enroll at UTI-Houston to complete their program. Both facilities will remain in use, operated by UTI-Houston post-consolidation. • Facility lease accounting adjustments: During 2024, we recorded a lease accounting adjustment for a lease termination payment for the previous Concorde corporate offices. These adjustments are not considered part of normal recurring operations. To obtain a complete understanding of our performance, these measures should be examined in connection with net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual and quarterly filings with the SEC. Because the items excluded from these non-GAAP measures are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance under GAAP, these measures should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of our operating performance or liquidity. Exclusion of items in the non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Other companies, including other companies in the education industry, may define and calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure across similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the following slides and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations. Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort. The company is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA or adjusted free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because certain items required for such reconciliation are uncertain, outside of the company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to the provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliation would require a forward-looking statement of income and statement of cash flows prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information PAGE 14 In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information. These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and are not intended to be and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company discloses these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that they provide investors an additional analytical tool to clarify its results of operations and identify underlying trends. Additionally, the Company believes that these measures may also help investors compare its performance on a consistent basis across time periods. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense and items not considered normal recurring operations. The Company defines adjusted free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures, adjusted for items not considered normal recurring operations. Management utilizes adjusted figures as performance measures internally for operating decisions, strategic planning, annual budgeting and forecasting. For the periods presented, our adjustments for items that management does not consider to be normal recurring operations include: • Acquisition-related costs: We have excluded costs associated with both potential and announced acquisitions to allow for comparable financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance. • Integration-related costs for completed acquisitions: We have excluded integration costs related to business structure realignment and new programs for recent acquisitions to allow for comparable financial results to historical operations and forward-looking guidance. In addition, the nature and amount of such charges vary significantly based on the size and timing of the programs. By excluding the referenced expenses from our non-GAAP financial measures, our management is able to further evaluate our ability to utilize existing assets and estimate their long-term value. Furthermore, our management believes that the adjustment of these items supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance. • One-time costs associated with new campus openings: During fiscal 2022, we opened new campus locations in Austin, Texas and Miramar, Florida. We continued to incur one-time costs during fiscal 2023 for the campus opening as we completed the build-out of the remaining programs in the new facilities. We disclose any campus adjustments as direct costs (net of any corporate allocations). Outfitting a new campus requires significant facility improvements and modifications, and the purchase of technical equipment and training aids necessary for teaching our programs, the combination of which requires a significant investment by the Company which would not be considered part of normal recurring operations. • Restructuring charges: In December 2023, we announced plans to consolidate the two Houston, Texas campus locations to align the curriculum, student facing systems, and support services to better serve students seeking careers in in-demand fields. As part of the transition, the MIAT-Houston campus, acquired in November 2021, began a phased teach-out in May 2024, and such campus began operating under the UTI brand. MIAT-Houston students who have not completed their programs before their program’s teach-out date may enroll at UTI-Houston to complete their program. Both facilities will remain in use, operated by UTI-Houston post-consolidation. • Facility lease accounting adjustments: During 2024, we recorded a lease accounting adjustment for a lease termination payment for the previous Concorde corporate offices. These adjustments are not considered part of normal recurring operations. To obtain a complete understanding of our performance, these measures should be examined in connection with net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual and quarterly filings with the SEC. Because the items excluded from these non-GAAP measures are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance under GAAP, these measures should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of our operating performance or liquidity. Exclusion of items in the non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Other companies, including other companies in the education industry, may define and calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure across similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in the following slides and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations. Information reconciling forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort. The company is not able to provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA or adjusted free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because certain items required for such reconciliation are uncertain, outside of the company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, including but not limited to the provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Preparation of such reconciliation would require a forward-looking statement of income and statement of cash flows prepared in accordance with GAAP, and such forward-looking financial statements are unavailable to the company without unreasonable effort.
