Perdoceo Education Corporation completes its previously announced acquisition of University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, LLC

Perdoceo Education Corporation (“Perdoceo” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PRDO), a provider of postsecondary education, today completed its previously announced acquisition of University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, LLC (USAHS). The Company paid a cash consideration of approximately $138M (net of cash acquired), which is subject to customary post-closing adjustments and escrow arrangements.

USAHS is one of the nation’s leading universities offering graduate health sciences degrees, primarily in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language therapy, nursing, as well as continuing-education programs. Founded in 1979, USAHS educates students through its network of campuses in San Marcos, California; St. Augustine and Miami, Florida; and Austin and Dallas, Texas; and through its online programs. USAHS is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, USAHS had unaudited revenues of approximately $114M, unaudited operating income of approximately $10.5 million and served approximately 4,100 graduate and post-graduate students across multiple health sciences disciplines.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, USAHS had approximately $25M of unaudited adjusted operating income. Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated by adding approximately $14.5M of depreciation and amortization to the operating income of $10.5 million.
Perdoceo expects the transaction to be accretive to the Company’s adjusted operating income immediately beginning in 2025 and the transaction to provide further growth in adjusted operating income in 2026.

Affirming Outlook for Fiscal Year 2024

Perdoceo remains on track to achieve its full year adjusted operating income outlook of $188 million to $191 million, as disclosed in the Company’s previous quarterly earnings release, subject to the assumptions and factors set forth therein.
