2024年第三季度业绩

2024年第三季度,报告基础下的营业收入为36860万美元,比2023年第三季度增加了710万美元,增长了2%。按照有机常货币基础,营业收入增长了9%。2024年第三季度的营业利润为7200万美元,比2023年第三季度的5870万美元增加了1330万美元。2024年第三季度的净利润为8530万美元,而2023年第三季度的净利润为3600万美元。净利润增加是因为2024年第三季度录得约3790万美元的离散税收利益,以及营业利润的增加。2024年第三季度的基本和稀释每股收益为0.56美元。

2024年第三季度调整后的EBITDA为9140万美元,相比于2023年第三季度的7840万美元的调整后的EBITDA。

2024年9月30日结束的九个月业绩

2024年9月30日结束的九个月内,新生报名人数同比增加4%,而截至2023年9月30日的九个月内的新生报名活动相比,总报名人数增长了5%,与去年同期相比,秘鲁的新生和总报名分别增加了4%和3%。与去年同期相比,墨西哥的新生和总报名分别增加了4%和7%。

截至2024年9月30日的九个月,按报告计算,营业收入为114320万美元,比2023年9月30日结束的九个月增加了6830万美元,增幅为6%。按照有机恒定货币计算,营业收入增长了6%。截至2024年9月30日的九个月,营业收入为24980万美元,而2023年9月30日结束的九个月为22880万美元,增长了2100万美元。截至2024年9月30日结束的九个月,净利润为20280万美元,而2023年9月30日结束的九个月的净利润为6550万美元。净利润的增加主要是由于外汇汇率变动对公司间结算的影响和2023年期间相比,截至2024年9月30日的九个月内公司内国际间结算的变化,以及运营收入增加以及2024年9月30日结束的九个月内记录的离散税收效益。截至2024年9月30日结束的九个月,基本每股收益和稀释每股收益为1.31美元。

2024年9月30日止九个月调整后的EBITDA为30890万美元,而2023年9月30日止九个月的调整后EBITDA为28730万美元。

2024财年前景

励耀(Laureate)正在提高其全年的不变货币增长预期, 并调整其按报告计算的指引,以反映最近外汇汇率受到墨西哥比索近期波动的影响。

根据当前汇率期货现货汇率2Laureate现预计其2024财年结果如下:

预计总入学人数约为470,000名学生,较2023年增长约5%;
收入预计将在155100万至155600万美元的区间内,按照报告基础增长5%,按照有机恒定货币基础增长7%,相较于2023年;和
调整后的EBITDA预计将在44700万到45100万区间,按照报告基础增长7%至8%,按照有机恒定货币基础增长9%至10%,相对于2023年。

根据不良行为处理行动(Non-GAAP)指标的调和,具体为2024年调整后的EBITDA展望,到相关的前瞻性GAAP指标是无法提供的,因为励德现在无法准确估计这些展望和调和的变数以及个别调整。由于这种不确定性,公司无法在没有不合理的努力的情况下,调和预测的调整后EBITDA与预测的净利润。

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes statements that express Laureate’s opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, ‘‘forward-looking statements’’ within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. Laureate’s actual results may vary significantly from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘may,’’ ‘‘will,’’ ‘‘should,’’ ‘‘seeks,’’ ‘‘approximately,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘estimates’’ or ‘‘anticipates’’ or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. In particular, statements regarding the amount, timing, process, tax treatment and impact of any future dividends represent forward-looking statements. All statements we make relating to guidance (including, but not limited to, total enrollments, revenues, and Adjusted EBITDA), and all statements we make relating to our current growth strategy and other future plans, strategies or transactions that may be identified, explored or implemented and any litigation or dispute resulting from any completed transaction are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, including with respect to our current growth strategy and the impact of any completed divestiture or separation transaction on our remaining businesses. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed, and to be filed, with the SEC and other filings made with the SEC. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the time of this release and we do not undertake to publicly update or revise them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) throughout this press release, Laureate provides the non-GAAP measurements of Adjusted EBITDA, and total debt, net of cash and cash equivalents (or net debt). We have included these non-GAAP measurements because they are key measures used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income (loss), adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. The exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a key input into the formula used by the compensation committee of our board of directors and our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the payment of incentive compensation to our executive officers and other members of our management team. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

Total debt, net of cash and cash equivalents (or net debt) consists of total gross debt, less total cash and cash equivalents. Net debt provides a useful indicator about Laureate’s leverage and liquidity.

Laureate’s calculations of Adjusted EBITDA, and total debt, net of cash and cash equivalents (or net debt) are not necessarily comparable to calculations performed by other companies and reported as similarly titled measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled from the GAAP measure in the attached table “Non-GAAP Reconciliation.”

We evaluate our results of operations on both an as reported and an organic constant currency basis. The organic constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, acquisitions and divestitures. We believe that providing organic constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our results of operations, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. We calculate organic constant currency amounts using the change from prior-period average foreign exchange rates to current-period average foreign exchange rates, as applied to local-currency operating results for the current period, and then exclude the impact of acquisitions and divestitures as per the accompanying presentation.

(1) Organic Constant Currency results exclude the period-over-period impact from currency fluctuations, acquisitions and divestitures. Organic Constant Currency is calculated using the change from prior-period average foreign exchange rates to current-period average foreign exchange rates, as applied to local-currency operating results for the current period. The “Organic Constant Currency” percentage changes are calculated by dividing the Organic Constant Currency amounts by the 2023 Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA amounts, excluding the impact of the divestitures.
