“Apollo is taking the necessary steps to enhance long-term shareholder
value through a series of strategic actions which include transforming
University of Phoenix into a higher retaining, more trusted provider of
career relevant higher education, continued expansion of our
international network, and a commitment to efficiency,” said Greg
Cappelli, Chief Executive Officer, Apollo Education Group. “The
University of Phoenix team is implementing major components of its
transformational plan as quickly as possible, and although this is
having a near-term negative impact on revenue, we believe speed of
execution will help the University return to stability more quickly.
Apollo Global continues to expand and grow its network through a
combination of high quality acquisitions and organic growth and is
on-target for a record year. Finally, we have committed to incremental
cost reductions in order to preserve our operating margin during this
transformational period.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement,
but not substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
Management uses, and chooses to disclose to investors, these non-GAAP
financial measures because: (i) such measures provide an additional
analytical tool to clarify the Company’s results from operations and
help to identify underlying trends in its results of operations; (ii) as
to the non-GAAP earnings measures, such measures help compare the
Company’s performance on a consistent basis across time periods; and
(iii) these non-GAAP measures are employed by the Company’s management
in its own evaluation of performance and are utilized in financial and
operational decision-making processes, such as budgeting and
forecasting. 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 calculate non-GAAP financial measures
differently, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure across
companies.
“Adjusted EBITDA” is earnings from continuing operations before interest
expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, and special items. It is intended to provide an indicator
of our operating performance across time periods due to the impact of
amortization from acquisitions and other factors.
Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor
Statements about Apollo Education Group and its business in this release
which are not statements of historical fact, including statements
regarding Apollo Education Group’s future strategy and plans and
commentary regarding future results of operations and prospects, are
forward-looking statements and are subject to the Safe Harbor provisions
created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements are based on current information and
expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual
plans implemented and actual results achieved may differ materially from
those set forth in or implied by such statements due to various factors,
including without limitation: (i) the impact of increased competition
from traditional public universities and proprietary educational
institutions; (ii) the impact of the initiatives to transform University
of Phoenix into a more focused, higher retaining and less complex
institution, including the near-term impact on enrollment; (iii) the
impact of the Company’s ongoing restructuring and cost-reduction
initiatives; (iv) impacts from actions taken by our regulators that
could affect University of Phoenix’s eligibility to participate in or
