Universal Technical Institute Reports Fiscal Year 2023 Second Quarter Results

PHOENIX, May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — 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 2023 second quarter ended March 31, 2023. 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 was $163.8 million with UTI increasing 5.4% versus the prior year period and Concorde contributing $56.3 million
Net income of $3.5 million, adjusted net income* of $6.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA* of $19.2 million.
Total new student starts of 4,626 with UTI increasing 4.4% versus the prior year period and 2,252 contributed by Concorde.
The Company reiterates its full year, fiscal 2023 guidance across all key metrics.
The Company’s current year results include Concorde for the four months ended March 31, 2023, reflecting the December 1, 2022 closing date of the acquisition. Total company year-over-year comparisons are shown on an “as-reported basis,” consistent with the Company’s previously provided fiscal 2023 guidance.

“Our second quarter performance reflects our continued execution on reaching the fullest potential of our growth and diversification strategy,” said Jerome Grant, CEO of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. “We delivered top- and bottom-line results that exceeded our expectations, aided by the first full quarter of financial contribution from Concorde. Further, we strengthened our divisional operating model and overall leadership capabilities by appointing higher education veteran Tracy Lorenz as President of UTI, and appointing Trinity Health’s President and CEO, Michael Slubowski, to our board of directors. I am proud of the progress we have made with building out the infrastructure for our combined company.

“As we enter the second half of fiscal 2023, we remain focused on our key growth drivers for the UTI and Concorde segments. Within UTI, we will continue working to scale enrollment growth at our newest campuses in Austin, Texas and Miramar, Florida. We also remain underway with launching 14 new programs across nine UTI campuses, with the first new program launches currently on track for July. For Concorde, we will work to maintain the smooth progress we have made with integration, initially focusing on meeting public company requirements while facilitating a seamless student and staff experience, and also continuing efforts to launch three new dental hygiene programs in fiscal 2024. We look forward to further leveraging the benefits of our diversified business model as we support strong student outcomes across a growing, in-demand range of fields.”

Financial Results for the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to 2022

Revenues increased 60.5% to $163.8 million compared to $102.1 million primarily due to the $56.3 million addition for the Concorde acquisition.
Operating expenses rose by 59.9% to $157.9 million, compared to $98.7 million. The acquisition of Concorde contributed $50.1 million of the increase. The remainder was driven primarily by the incremental cost of delivery associated with UTI new campus and program rollouts in the prior year, and both one-time and ongoing investments in support of our growth and diversification strategy.
Operating income was $5.9 million compared to $3.4 million.
Net income was $3.5 million compared to $7.4 million. Adjusted net income* was $6.3 million compared to $6.4 million.
Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $0.04 compared to $0.11.
Adjusted EBITDA* was $19.2 million compared to $12.6 million.

UTI

UTI had revenues of $107.6 million, a 5.4% increase from the prior year quarter revenues of $102.1 million driven primarily by the new campuses and programs launched in the prior year, and overall higher revenue per student, partially offset by lower average undergraduate full-time active students.
Operating expenses for UTI were $94.5 million, compared to $86.5 million. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation related and other expenses incurred during the current year due to the new campuses and welding programs launched in the prior year, along with costs for incremental advertising and admissions resources to support growth objectives for the segment.
Adjusted EBITDA* was $20.7 million compared to $21.5 million.
New student starts increased from prior year by 4.4%, while average undergraduate full-time active students decreased 3.0%.

Concorde

Revenues of $56.3 million.
Operating expenses were $50.1 million.
Adjusted EBITDA* was $8.4 million.
New student starts of 2,252 and 7,808 average undergraduate full-time active students.

“With our financial and operational execution during the quarter, we are entering the second half of fiscal 2023 on solid footing,” said Troy Anderson, CFO of Universal Technical Institute. “Our second quarter revenue and profitability performance reflect the benefits of Concorde’s contribution and the UTI fiscal 2022 new campus and program launches. We continue to reiterate our fiscal 2023 guidance, however, the anticipated phasing of our revenue and profitability throughout the year has shifted favorably relative to our initial expectations as a result of our strong first half results. Additionally, while we expect overall new student starts will be within our previous guidance range, we now see UTI starts at the lower end of their previously expected range, or approximately 8% year over year growth, and Concorde starts at the higher of their previously expected range. We continue to focus on execution across both segments of our business, along with further development of their respective strategic roadmaps.”

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At March 31, 2023, the Company’s total available cash liquidity was $120.6 million, with an additional $8.2 million available from its revolving credit facility. In March 2023, the Company purchased the three primary buildings and associated land at its Orlando, Florida campus for $26.2 million. The purchase was completed using proceeds from its revolving credit facility that were drawn down in the previous quarter. Excluding the Orlando campus purchase, capital expenditures for the quarter and year total $4.2 million and $11.0 million, respectively, with the primary drivers being the completion of the UTI Austin and Miramar campus buildouts, as well as UTI and Concorde program expansions.

Financial Results for the Six-Month Period Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to 2022

Revenues increased 37.0% to $283.8 million compared to $207.2 million primarily due to the $70.7 million addition for the Concorde acquisition.
Operating expenses rose by 43.8% to $273.4 million, compared to $190.2 million. The acquisition of Concorde contributed $65.2 million. The remainder of the increase was primarily driven by the incremental cost of delivery associated with UTI new campus and program rollouts in the prior year, and both one-time and ongoing investments in support of our growth and diversification strategy.
Operating income was $10.4 million compared to $17.0 million.
Net income was $6.1 million compared to $22.2 million. Adjusted net income* was $11.7 million compared to $21.8 million.

UTI

UTI had revenues of $213.1 million, a 2.9% increase from the prior year quarter revenues of $207.2 million driven primarily by the new campuses and programs launched in the prior year and overall higher revenue per student, partially offset by lower average undergraduate full-time active students.
Operating expenses for UTI were $183.5 million, compared to $168.4 million. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation related and other expenses incurred during the current year due to the new campuses and welding programs launched in the prior year, along with costs for incremental advertising and admissions resources to support growth objectives for the segment.
Adjusted EBITDA* was $44.0 million compared to $50.2 million.

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

For fiscal 2022, the Company defined adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for items not considered as part of the Company’s normal recurring operations. Starting in fiscal 2023, 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.  Prior year amounts have been restated to include stock-based compensation expense.

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.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss)

The Company defines adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss), adjusted for items that affect trends in underlying performance from year to year and are not considered normal recurring operations, including the income tax effect on the adjustments utilizing the effective tax rate.     

We disclose any campus adjustments as direct costs (net of any corporate allocations). Management utilizes adjusted figures as performance measures internally for operating decisions, strategic planning, annual budgeting and forecasting.  For the periods presented, this includes acquisition-related costs for both announced and potential acquisitions, integration costs for completed acquisitions, costs related to the purchase of our campuses, impairment charges related to intangible assets, start-up costs associated with the Austin, TX and Miramar, FL campus openings, lease accounting adjustments resulting from the purchase of our Lisle, Illinois campus and our campus consolidation efforts, the income tax benefit recorded as a result of the CARES Act, and severance expenses due to the CEO transition. 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 2023 guidance for new student start growth (decline), revenue growth, Adjusted net income, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow; (2) expectation that it will continue to expand its value proposition and build a business that can grow in low-to-mid single digits with potential upside, regardless of the economic environment; (3) the Company’s expectation that it will succeed in new campus launches next year; and (4) the Company’s expectation of the successful integration of the Concorde acquisition. 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, impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, changes to federal and state educational funding, changes to regulations or agency interpretation of such regulations affecting the for-profit education industry, possible failure or inability to obtain regulatory consents and certifications for new or modified campuses or instruction, potential increased competition, changes in demand for the programs we offer, increased investment in management and capital resources, failure to comply with the restrictive covenants and our ability to pay the amounts when due under the Credit Agreement with Fifth Third Bank, National Association, the effectiveness of our student recruiting, advertising and promotional efforts, changes to interest rates and unemployment, general economic and political conditions, the adoption of new accounting standards, 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.

The GAAP effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2023 has been adjusted to remove the impact of the Concorde acquisition related costs. The GAAP effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 has been adjusted to remove the impact from the MIAT purchase accounting adjustments for deferred tax liabilities and the reversal of the valuation allowance, both of which created a net tax benefit for the periods.
