K12 Inc. Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2015 with Revenue of $236.7 Million

HERNDON, Va., Oct. 30, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- K12 Inc. (NYSE: LRN), a technology-based education company and leading provider of proprietary curriculum and online school programs for students in pre-K through high school, today announced its results for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 (First Quarter Fiscal Year 2015)

During fiscal year 2014, the Company sold certain businesses which, in aggregate, were responsible for $16.9 million in revenue for the full year and were close to breakeven for the year. Excluding the impact of these businesses, revenue for the first quarter of FY 2014 would have been $224.9 million.

Comments from Management

"K12 continues to drive the advancement of education by developing state-of-the art, adaptive learning programs for students," said Chairman and CEO Nate Davis. "We will continue to invest in emerging digital technologies that enhance the potential of each student and empowers them to achieve the highest quality of education possible."

Cash, Capital Expenditures and Capital Leases

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $109.2 million, a decrease of $86.9 million compared to the $196.1 million reported at June 30, 2014. This decrease is largely the result of normal seasonal trends and the cash consumed for the stock buyback.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $18.6 million, an increase of $6.0 million from the prior year's first three months, and was comprised of:

Capital leases financed additional purchases of $4.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily for student computers.

Share Buyback

On November 4, 2013, K12 announced that the Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $75.0 million of the Company's outstanding common stock. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company repurchased 1,307,402 shares of its common stock at a weighted average purchase price of $20.21 per share for a total cost of $26.5 million. With this quarter's investment, the Company has fully utilized the $75.0 million authorization by the Board. In total, the Company repurchased 3.5 million shares at a weighted average purchase price of $21.41 per share for a total cost of $75.0 million.

Revenue and Enrollment Data

The following tables provide detail on revenue and student enrollments in Public School Programs. Public School Programs include both virtual and blended schools where a district or independent board has contracted with K12 to provide a full-time program of educational products and services. Enrollments are classified into Managed Programs and Non-managed Programs. Managed Programs include schools where K12 provides substantially all of the management, technology and academic support services in addition to curriculum, learning systems and instructional services. Non-managed Programs include schools where K12 provides curriculum and technology, and the school can also contract for instruction or other educational services. Non-managed programs, however, do not offer primary administrative oversight. For reference, revenue and enrollment data in the prior format can be found in Appendix A. The Company has also provided fiscal 2014 revenue and enrollment data in the new disclosure format in Appendix B.

Revenue

The following table sets forth the Company's revenues -- Managed Programs (management, technology and academic support services provided to public schools), Non-managed Programs (curriculum, technology and other educational services where K12 does not offer primary administrative oversight), Institutional Software and Services (educational software and services provided to school districts, public schools and other educational institutions), and International and Private Pay Schools (private schools for which it charges student tuition and makes direct consumer sales) -- for the periods indicated:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA

EBITDA consists of net income (loss), plus net interest expense, plus income tax expense, minus income tax benefit, plus depreciation and amortization and non-controlling interest charges. Interest expense primarily consists of interest expense for capital leases. We use EBITDA in addition to income (loss) from operations and net income (loss) as a measure of operating performance. However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP. Not all companies use identical calculations for EBITDA, therefore our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management's discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as capital expenditures, tax payments, interest payments, or other working capital.

We believe EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because it is widely used to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets, and to present a meaningful measure of corporate performance exclusive of our capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired. Our management uses EBITDA:
