美國公立教育公司第二季收入增5.5%至1.717億美元 完成三大院校整合並上調全年指引
AI 繁中摘要
美國公立教育公司(American Public Education, Inc.,納斯達克:APEI)公佈截至2026年6月30日止第二季度業績,同時宣布已完成一項重大機構整合。集團於季度結束後,將American Public University System、Rasmussen University及Hondros College of Nursing合併為單一獲批「高等教育委員會」(HLC)認證的學府,名為American Public University System,標誌著集團戰略發展的重要里程碑。
受惠於旗下兩大業務分部需求持續增長,集團第二季表現理想。季內總收入為1.717億美元,按年增加5.5%(2025年同期為1.628億美元)。若剔除已於2025年7月出售的Graduate School USA(GSUSA)收入,收入增幅更高達7.8%。其中Health+分部收入錄得8,620萬美元,按年增長11.0%,主要受惠於入學人數增加及學費溫和上調;Military+分部收入則為8,550萬美元,按年上升4.7%,源於淨課程註冊數增加。
盈利能力方面,季內普通股股東可用淨溢利為980萬美元,相比去年同期虧損30萬美元大幅改善;經調整EBITDA(稅息折舊及攤銷前利潤)增加36.8%至2,070萬美元(去年同期為1,510萬美元)。攤薄後每股盈利為0.52美元,去年同期為每股虧損0.02美元。經營現金流為1,210萬美元。
財務狀況穩健。截至2026年6月30日,集團持有現金、現金等價物、受限制現金及短期投資合共2.228億美元,較去年底增加26.2%。集團已於第二季回購70,365股普通股,目前回購授權尚有4,500萬美元額度可用。
營運指標方面,Military+季度淨課程註冊數為98,300,按年增加2.0%;Health+學生總註冊人數為19,600,按年上升6.6%。
展望未來,管理層對下半年業務勢頭表示樂觀,並上調2026全年指引。集團預計全年收入介乎6.90億至6.98億美元(2025年為6.489億美元);普通股股東可用淨溢利介乎4,650萬至5,250萬美元;經調整EBITDA介乎9,600萬至1.04億美元;

"I am pleased with the strong financial
results we delivered in the second quarter, reflecting continued demand across our businesses and disciplined execution against our strategic
priorities, including the opening of Health+’s new Orlando campus, part of our “Trailblazer” campus opening strategy. Following
the end of the quarter, I am very pleased to announce that we completed the combination of American Public University System, Rasmussen
University, and Hondros College of Nursing into one Higher Learning Commission-accredited institution named American Public University
System,” said Angela Selden, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Selden concluded, "As we raise revenue,

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains the non-GAAP financial
measures of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA less non-cash expenses
such as stock compensation and non-recurring expenses), adjusted EBITDA margin, segment EBITDA, and segment EBITDA margin. APEI believes
that the use of these measures is useful because they allow investors to better evaluate APEI's operating profit and cash generation
capabilities.
Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June
30, 2026, and 2025, excludes stock compensation, loss on disposals of long-lived assets, other professional fees, and in the three months
ended June 30, 2025, loss on sale of subsidiary.
These non-GAAP measures should not be considered
in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
(GAAP). The principal limitation of our non-GAAP measures is that they exclude expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded. In
addition, non-GAAP measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses
are excluded.
APEI is presenting EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
in connection with its GAAP results and urges investors to review the reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the comparable
GAAP financial measures that are included in the tables following this press release (under the captions "GAAP Net Income to Adjusted
EBITDA" "GAAP Outlook Net Income to Outlook Adjusted EBITDA" and “Education Unit Profile – Segment Summary”)
and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate its business.
