GRAND CANYON EDUCATION, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER 2025 RESULTSFebruary 18, 2026 4:05 PM
PR Newswire (US)
PHOENIX, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOPE), ("GCE" or the "Company"), is a publicly traded education services company that currently provides services to 20 university partners. GCE provides a full array of support services in the post-secondary education sector and has developed significant technological solutions, infrastructure and operational processes to provide superior services in these areas on a large scale. GCE today announced financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
Grand Canyon Education, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2025 ResultsFor the three months ended December 31, 2025:Service revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $308.1 million, an increase of $15.5 million, or 5.3%, as compared to service revenue of $292.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase year over year in service revenue was primarily due to an increase in university partner enrollments of 7.1% to 136,239 at December 31, 2025 as compared to 127,155 at December 31, 2024. Revenue per student decreased slightly between years primarily due to contract modifications with some of our university partners in which our revenue share percentage was reduced in exchange for us no longer reimbursing these partners for certain faculty costs which had the effect of reducing revenue per student, as well as a slight decline year over year in revenue per student for online students due to the continued mix shift to students that have a slightly lower net tuition rate. Revenue per student also declined due to the start date for the ground campus at Grand Canyon University ("GCU"), our most significant partner, shifting one day of revenue from the fourth quarter to the third quarter in 2025 which had a $0.9 million impact. These decreases were partially offset by the service revenue per student for accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing ("ABSN") students at our off-campus classroom and laboratory sites generating a significantly higher revenue per student than we earn under our agreement with GCU as these agreements generally provide us with a higher revenue share percentage, the partners have higher tuition rates than GCU and the majority of our partners' students take more credits on average per semester.GCU enrollments increased to 131,826 at December 31, 2025, an increase of 7.0% over enrollments at December 31, 2024. University partner enrollments at our off-campus classroom and laboratory sites were 5,738, an increase of 16.6% over enrollments at December 31, 2024, which includes 1,325 and 913 GCU students at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Excluding sites closed in 2024 to new enrollments, total enrollments at our off-campus classroom and laboratory sites increased 18.7% between years. We opened six sites in the year ended December 31, 2024 and five new sites in the year ended December 31, 2025, closed two sites at which we stopped recruiting new students in 2024 and merged two sites that were located in the same market bringing the total number of these off-campus sites to 47 at December 31, 2025, all of which has also positively impacted the enrollment growth. Enrollments for GCU ground students were 24,678 at December 31, 2025 up from 24,552 at December 31, 2024. GCU online enrollments were 107,148 at December 31, 2025, up from 98,597 at December 31, 2024, an increase of 8.7% between years.Operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $108.1 million, an increase of $8.1 million, or 8.1%, as compared to $100.0 million for the same period in 2024. The operating margin for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 35.1% and 34.2%, respectively.Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $25.0 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 13.5%, as compared to income tax expense of $22.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Our effective tax rate was 22.4% during the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 21.2% during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The effective tax rate increased year over year due to higher state income taxes.Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $86.7 million, an increase of $4.8 million, or 5.9% as compared to $81.9 million for the same period in 2024. As adjusted net income was $88.7 million and $85.1 million for the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.Diluted net income per share was $3.14 and $2.84 for the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively. As adjusted diluted net income per share was $3.21 and $2.95 for the fourth quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively.Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.8% to $123.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $116.6 million for the same period in 2024.For the year ended December 31, 2025:Service revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1,106.1 million, an increase of $73.1 million, or 7.1%, as compared to service revenue of $1,033.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase year over year in service revenue was primarily due to an increase in university partner enrollments of 7.1% to 136,239 at December 31, 2025 as compared to 127,155 at December 31, 2024. Revenue per student was flat between years primarily due to the additional day for leap year in 2024 which added additional service revenue of $1.5 million as compared to 2025, contract modifications with some of our university partners in which our revenue share percentage was reduced in exchange for us no longer reimbursing these partners for certain faculty costs, a slight decline year over year in revenue per student for online students due to the continued mix shift to students that have a slightly lower net tuition rate, and a slight decline in residential students at GCU between years. These decreases were offset by the service revenue per student for ABSN students at off-campus classroom and laboratory sites generating a significantly higher revenue per student than we earn under our agreement with GCU, as these agreements generally provide us with a higher revenue share percentage, the partners have higher tuition rates than GCU and the majority of our partners' students take more credits on average per semester.Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $265.9 million, a decrease of $9.5 million, or 3.4%, as compared to $275.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The operating margin for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 24.0% and 26.7%, respectively. Operating income and operating margin were materially impacted in the year ended December 31, 2025 by a litigation settlement of $35.0 million related to the qui tam lawsuit; lease termination, impairment and other costs in the amount of $2.4 million due to the Company executing its lease termination provision on an office lease and the impairment of two off-campus classroom and laboratory site leases as the teach out at those locations has completed; loss on disposal of assets of $0.9 million; and $0.3 million of severance costs. Operating income and operating margin were negatively impacted in the year ended December 31, 2024 by impairment and other costs of $1.9 million, severance costs of $1.1 million related to an executive that resigned effective June 30, 2024 and loss on disposal of assets of $0.1 million. Excluding these costs and the amortization of intangible assets of $8.4 million in both the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin were $313.0 million and 28.3%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin of $287.0 million and 27.8%, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2024. The operating income and operating margin for the year ended December 31, 2025 were positively impacted as compared to 2024 by contract modifications with some of our university partners in which our revenue share percentage was reduced in exchange for us no longer reimbursing the partner for certain faculty costs which had the effect of reducing operating expenses and revenue per student, which effects were partially offset by the additional day for leap year in 2024 which added additional service revenue of $1.5 million as compared to 2025.Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $63.7 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 2.2%, as compared to income tax expense of $65.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease is primarily due to the decrease in our income before taxes between years. Our effective tax rate was 22.8% during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 22.3% during the year ended December 31, 2024. The effective tax rate was favorably impacted year over year primarily due to an increase in excess tax benefits of $2.7 million as compared to $1.5 million in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate was also favorably impacted by an increase in contributions made in lieu of state income taxes to $5.0 million as compared to $4.5 million in the prior year. These impacts were offset by the tax treatment of the litigation settlement recorded in the third quarter and changes in state income taxes.Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $216.2 million, a decrease of $10.0 million, or 4.4% as compared to $226.2 million for the same period in 2024. As adjusted net income was $254.5 million and $235.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.Diluted net income per share was $7.71 and $7.73 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As adjusted diluted net income per share was $9.08 and $8.04 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.Adjusted EBITDA increased 8.4% to $368.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $340.0 million for the same period in 2024.Liquidity and Capital Resources Our liquidity position, as measured by cash and cash equivalents and investments decreased by $24.5 million between December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, which was largely attributable to cash expended for share repurchases and capital expenditures exceeding our cash provided by operations during the year ended December 31, 2025. Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and investments were $300.1 million and $324.6 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.Grand Canyon Education, Inc.

$1,502Grand Canyon Education, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter 2025 ResultsGRAND CANYON EDUCATION, INC.Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP Financial Measure)Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, less interest income and other gain (loss) recognized on investments, plus income tax expense, and plus depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as adjusted for (i) contributions to private Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of the payment of state income taxes; (ii) share-based compensation; and (iii) unusual charges or gains, such as litigation and regulatory costs, impairment charges and asset write-offs, severance costs, and exit or lease termination costs. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. We also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our operating performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA. All of the adjustments made in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are adjustments to items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period and does not consider the items for which we make adjustments (as listed above) to be reflective of our core performance.We believe Adjusted EBITDA allows us to compare our current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry because it does not give effect to potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting relative interest expense, including the impact of write-offs of deferred financing costs when companies refinance their indebtedness), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), the book amortization of intangibles (affecting relative amortization expense), and other items that we do not consider reflective of underlying operating performance. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties as a measure of performance.In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, investors should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments described above. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by expenses that are unusual, non-routine, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool in that, among other things, it does not reflect:cash expenditures for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital requirements;interest expense, or the cash required to replace assets that are being depreciated or amortized; andthe impact on our reported results of earnings or charges resulting from the items for which we make adjustments to our EBITDA, as described above and set forth in the table below.In addition, other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with and reported under GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and only use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure.The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure for the periods indicated:

$340,013Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Income Per ShareThe Company believes the presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted income per share information that excludes amortization of intangible assets; the litigation settlement; lease termination costs, impairments and other costs; severance costs; and loss on disposal of fixed assets allows investors to develop a more meaningful understanding of the Company's performance over time. Accordingly, for the three months and years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the table below provides reconciliations of these non-GAAP items to GAAP net income and GAAP diluted income per share, respectively:
