2024 年第三季度業績

2024年第三季度,報告基礎下的營業收入爲36860萬美元,比2023年第三季度增加了710萬美元,增長了2%。按照有機常貨幣基礎,營業收入增長了9%。2024年第三季度的營業利潤爲7200萬美元,比2023年第三季度的5870萬美元增加了1330萬美元。2024年第三季度的淨利潤爲8530萬美元,而2023年第三季度的淨利潤爲3600萬美元。淨利潤增加是因爲2024年第三季度錄得約3790萬美元的離散稅收利益,以及營業利潤的增加。2024年第三季度的基本和稀釋每股收益爲0.56美元。

2024年第三季度調整後的EBITDA爲9140萬美元,相比於2023年第三季度的7840萬美元的調整後的EBITDA。

2024年9月30日結束的九個月業績

2024年9月30日結束的九個月內,新生報名人數同比增加4%,而截至2023年9月30日的九個月內的新生報名活動相比,總報名人數增長了5%,與去年同期相比,秘魯的新生和總報名分別增加了4%和3%。與去年同期相比,墨西哥的新生和總報名分別增加了4%和7%。

截至2024年9月30日的九個月,按報告計算,營業收入爲114320萬美元,比2023年9月30日結束的九個月增加了6830萬美元,增幅爲6%。按照有機恒定貨幣計算,營業收入增長了6%。截至2024年9月30日的九個月,營業收入爲24980萬美元,而2023年9月30日結束的九個月爲22880萬美元,增長了2100萬美元。截至2024年9月30日結束的九個月,淨利潤爲20280萬美元,而2023年9月30日結束的九個月的淨利潤爲6550萬美元。淨利潤的增加主要是由於外匯匯率變動對公司間結算的影響和2023年期間相比,截至2024年9月30日的九個月內公司內國際間結算的變化,以及運營收入增加以及2024年9月30日結束的九個月內記錄的離散稅收效益。截至2024年9月30日結束的九個月,基本每股收益和稀釋每股收益爲1.31美元。

2024年9月30日止九個月調整後的EBITDA爲30890萬美元,而2023年9月30日止九個月的調整後EBITDA爲28730萬美元。

2024財年前景

勵耀(Laureate)正在提高其全年的不變貨幣增長預期, 並調整其按報告計算的指引,以反映最近外匯匯率受到墨西哥披索近期波動的影響。

根據當前匯率期貨現貨匯率2Laureate現預計其2024財年結果如下:

預計總入學人數約爲470,000名學生,較2023年增長約5%;
收入預計將在155100萬至155600萬美元的區間內,按照報告基礎增長5%,按照有機恒定貨幣基礎增長7%,相較於2023年;和
調整後的EBITDA預計將在44700萬到45100萬區間,按照報告基礎增長7%至8%,按照有機恒定貨幣基礎增長9%至10%,相對於2023年。

根據不良行為處理行動(Non-GAAP)指標的調和,具體為2024年調整後的EBITDA展望,到相關的前瞻性GAAP指標是無法提供的,因為勵德現在無法準確估計這些展望和調和的變數以及個別調整。由於這種不確定性,公司無法在沒有不合理的努力的情況下,調和預測的調整後EBITDA與預測的凈利潤。

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.
