On December 4, 2017, Adtalem announced the signing of a definitive agreement to divest DeVry University, pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of a stock purchase agreement with Cogswell Education, LLC (“Cogswell”), with an expected closing date occurring in ~~early fiscal~~mid-fiscal year 2019. The decision to divest was made based on changes in strategic direction for the Adtalem portfolio of institutions.

~~NOTE 3: REGULATORY SETTLEMENTS~~

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, Adtalem, DeVry University Inc., and DeVry/New York Inc. (collectively, the “Adtalem Parties”) and the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) agreed to a Stipulation as to Entry of an Order for Permanent Injunction and Monetary Judgment (the “Agreement”) resolving litigation brought by the FTC regarding DeVry University’s use of employment statistics in former advertising. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Adtalem Parties agreed to pay $49.4 million to be distributed at the sole discretion of the FTC, to forgive $30.4 million of institutional loans issued before September 30, 2015, and to forgive outstanding DeVry University accounts receivable balances by $20.2 million for former students. In addition, the Adtalem Parties agreed that Adtalem institutions marketing to U.S. consumers will maintain specific substantiation to support any future advertising regarding graduate outcomes and educational benefits, and will implement training and other agreed-upon compliance measures. Adtalem chose to settle the FTC litigation after filing an answer denying all allegations of wrongdoing.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, Adtalem also recorded charges related to the resolution of an inquiry made by the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York (“NYAG”) to the Adtalem Parties regarding DeVry University’s use of employment and salary statistics in former advertising. The Adtalem Parties chose to resolve the NYAG inquiry by entering into an Assurance of Discontinuance (the “Assurance”) with the NYAG on January 27, 2017, without admitting or denying the allegations therein. Pursuant to the Assurance, the Adtalem Parties agreed to pay $2.25 million for consumer restitution and $0.5 million in penalties, fees and costs. In addition, the Adtalem Parties agreed that Adtalem institutions marketing to New York consumers will maintain specific substantiation and present certain statistics as prescribed to support any future advertising regarding graduate outcomes and educational benefits, and will implement other agreed-upon compliance measures.

~~Student services and access to federal student loans are not impacted by the Agreement or the Assurance and at no time has the academic quality of a DeVry University education been questioned.~~

The regulatory settlements expense of $56.3 million recorded during the first six months of fiscal year 2017 consists of the $49.4 million cash payment to the FTC, the $4.1 million unreserved and expensed institutional loans and the $2.75 million cash payment to the NYAG. Of these regulatory settlement charges, $4.1 million is recorded within discontinued operations and $52.2 million was allocated to the Adtalem home office which is classified as “Home Office and Other” in “Note 15: Segment Information.”

Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, DeVry University reached a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) regarding its January 27, 2016 Notice of Intent to Limit (“Notice”). The Notice related narrowly to a specific graduate employment statistic previously used by DeVry University, calculated since 1975. The settlement includes, among other things, an agreement to no longer use the statistic in question or to make any other representations regarding the graduate employment outcomes of DeVry University graduates from 1975 to October 1980. DeVry University will also refrain from making any future graduate employment representations without possessing graduate-specific information, and, for five years after the effective date of the settlement, to post a letter of credit with ED equal to 10% of DeVry University’s annual Title IV disbursement. A $68.4 million letter of credit was posted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 in relation to this requirement. Upon the close of the sale of DeVry University (see “Note 2: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale”), Adtalem will continue to post this letter of credit on behalf of DeVry University. Also, as a result of the settlement agreement, DeVry University’s participation in Title IV programs will be under provisional certification. The settlement in no way hinders DeVry University’s ability to serve current or future students. DeVry University resolved the Notice in full cooperation with ED. The settlement allows DeVry University to continue communicating its strong student outcomes, while providing assurances regarding the extent of its graduate employment data.

NOTE 4:3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Adtalem and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership interest is less than 100%, but greater than 50%, the noncontrolling ownership interest is reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The noncontrolling ownership interest earnings portion is classified as “Net ~~Income~~Loss (Income) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest” in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Unless indicated, or the context requires otherwise, references to years refer to Adtalem’s fiscal years.

~~Equity~~Equity/Cost Method Investment

The equity method of accounting is used for an investment where we have the ability to influence the operating and financial decisions of the investee but do not possess more than a 50% ownership interest. Generally, this occurs when the ownership interest is greater than 20%. The investment is initially recorded at cost and classified as Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted in subsequent periods for Adtalem’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee, which is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as Equity Method Investment ~~Income (Loss).~~Loss.

The cost method of accounting is used for an investment where we do not have the ability to influence the operating and financial decisions of the investee. Generally, this occurs when the ownership interest is less than 20%. The investment is recorded at cost and classified as Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents can include time deposits, high-grade commercial paper, money market funds and bankers acceptances with original maturities of three months or less. Short-term investment objectives are to minimize risk and maintain liquidity. These investments are stated at cost (which approximates fair value) because of their short duration or liquid nature. Adtalem places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. Cash and cash equivalent balances in U.S. bank accounts are generally in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. Cash and cash equivalent balances in Brazilian bank accounts are generally in excess of the deposit insurance limits for Brazilian banks. Adtalem has not experienced any losses on its cash and cash equivalents.

Management periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of the security issuers and financial institutions with which it invests and maintains deposit accounts.

Financial Aid and Restricted Cash

A significant portion of revenue is received from students who participate in government financial aid and assistance programs which are subject to political and governmental budgetary considerations. There is no assurance that such funding will be maintained at current levels. Extensive and complex regulations in the U.S. and Brazil govern all of the government financial assistance programs in which students participate. Administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by various regulatory agencies. Any regulatory violation could be the basis for disciplinary action, which could include the suspension, limitation or termination from such financial aid programs.

Restricted cash represents amounts received from federal and state governments under various student aid grant and loan programs and such restricted funds are held in separate bank accounts. Once the financial aid authorization and disbursement process for the student has been completed, the funds are transferred to unrestricted accounts, and these funds then become available for use in Adtalem’s operations. This authorization and disbursement process that precedes the transfer of funds generally occurs within the period of the academic term for which such funds were authorized.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers (students), in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The following tables disaggregate revenue by source (in thousands):

Memberships/Subscriptions: Membership revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the ~~applicable delivery~~membership period. ~~Revenue from conferences and training services, which are generally short-term in duration, is recognized when the conference or training service is provided.~~

~~Other Educational~~

Sales of ACAMS subscriptions, membership dues and certifications, along with textbooks, electronic books and other educational products, including Becker and ACAMS self-study sales, are included in Other Educational Revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Revenue from subscriptions and membership duesSubscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the ~~applicable~~ subscription ~~or membership~~ period. Revenue from certifications is recognized when the certification process is complete. Textbooks, electronic books and other educational products revenue is recognized when the sale occurs. In addition, fees from international licensees of the Becker programs are included in Other Educational Revenue and recognized when confirmation of course delivery is received.

~~Refunds~~Other: Other revenue consists of housing and ~~Provisions~~other miscellaneous services. Revenue is recognized over the period that the applicable performance obligation is satisfied.

Customer contracts generally have separately stated prices for each performance obligation contained in the contract. Therefore, each performance obligation generally has its own standalone selling price. For higher education students, arrangements for payment are agreed to prior to registration of the student’s first academic term. The majority of U.S. students obtain Title IV or other financial aid resulting in institutions receiving a significant amount of the transaction price at the beginning of the academic term. Students utilizing private funding or through Adtalem’s institutional loan program (see “Note 6: Financing Receivables” for further discussion) generally pay during or after the academic term is complete. For non-higher education customers, payment is typically due and collected at the time a customer places an order.

Transaction Price

~~Estimates~~Revenue, or transaction price, is measured as the amount of ~~Adtalem’s~~consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services.

For higher education, students may receive discounts, scholarships or refunds, which gives rise to variable consideration. The amount of discounts or scholarships are ~~determined at~~applied to individual student accounts when such amounts are awarded. Therefore, the ~~outset~~transaction price is reduced directly by these discounts or scholarships from the amount of ~~each academic term, based upon actual experience in previous terms. Inputs to this analysis include refunds issued,~~the standard tuition rate charged. Upon withdrawal, rates and historical amounts owed by students for that portion of a term that was completed. Management reassesses collectability throughout the period revenue is recognized by the Adtalem institutions, on a student-by-student basis. This reassessment is based upon new information and changes in facts and circumstances relevant to a student’s ability to pay. Management also reassesses collectability when a student ~~withdraws from~~may be eligible to receive a refund, or partial refund, the ~~institution and has unpaid tuition charges. Such unpaid charges do not meet~~amount of which is dependent on the ~~threshold~~timing of ~~reasonably collectible and are recognized as revenue on a cash basis.~~

~~The provisions for refunds, which are reported as a reduction to Tuition Revenue in~~ the ~~Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), are recognized in~~withdrawal during the same ratable fashion as revenue to most appropriately match these costs with the tuition revenue in that term. Provisions for refunds were $4.6 million and $9.1 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, and $4.0 million and $8.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

Provisions for refunds are monitored and adjusted as necessary within the academic term and adjusted for actual refunds issued and withdrawn student accounts receivable balances at the completion of an academic term. If a student withdraws prior to completing an academic term, federal and state regulations and accreditation criteria permit Adtalem to retain only a set percentage of the total tuition received from such student, which varies with, but generally equals or exceeds, the percentage of the academic term completed by such student. Payment amounts received by Adtalem in excess of such set percentages of tuition are refunded to the student or the appropriate funding source. For contracts with similar characteristics and historical data on refunds, the expected value method is applied in determining the variable consideration related to refunds. Estimates of Adtalem’s expected refunds are determined at the outset of each academic term, based upon actual experience in previous academic terms. Reserves related to refunds are presented as refund liabilities within Accrued Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All refunds are netted against revenue during the applicable academic term. ~~Reserves~~

Management reassesses collectability throughout the period revenue is recognized by the Adtalem institutions, on a student-by-student basis. This reassessment is based upon new information and changes in facts and circumstances relevant to a student’s ability to pay. Management also reassesses collectability when a student withdraws from the institution and has unpaid tuition charges. Such unpaid charges do not meet the threshold of reasonably collectible and are recognized as revenue on a cash basis.

For test preparation and other Professional Education products, the transaction price is equal to the amount charged to the customer, which is the standard rate, less any discounts and an estimate for returns or refunds.

We believe it is not probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Therefore, the estimate of variable consideration is not constrained.

Contract Balances

For higher education institutions, students are billed at the beginning of each academic term and payment is due at that time. Adtalem’s performance obligation is to provide educational services in the form of instruction during the academic term. As instruction is provided, deferred revenue is reduced. A significant portion of student payments are from Title IV financial aid and other programs and are generally received during the first month of the respective academic term. For students utilizing Adtalem’s institution loan program (see “Note 6: Financing Receivables”), payments are generally received after the academic term and the corresponding performance obligation is complete. When payments are received, accounts receivable is reduced.

For our Professional Education businesses, customers are billed and payment is due at the time of order placement. In most cases, performance obligations are delivered subsequent to payments received. Delivering our performance obligations reduces deferred revenue and accounts receivable is reduced upon payments received. Becker offers an 18-month term loan program as a financing option for the Becker CPA Exam Review Course (see “Note 6: Financing Receivables”). In this case, payment is received after satisfying the performance obligation.

Revenue of $83.7 million was recognized during the first three months of fiscal year 2019 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of fiscal year 2019. Revenue recognized from performance obligations that were satisfied, or partially satisfied, in prior periods was not material.

The difference between the opening and closing balances of deferred revenue includes decreases from revenue recognized during the period and increases from charges and payments received related to ~~refunds~~the start of academic terms beginning during the period.

Allowance for bad debts as of September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018 and ~~uncollectible accounts totaled $33.2~~September 30, 2017 was $21.9 million, ~~$30.6~~$27.6 million and ~~$35.0~~$27.0 million, ~~at December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,~~ respectively.

~~The allowance for uncollectible accounts~~Practical Expedients

As our performance obligations have an original expected duration of one year or less, we have applied the practical expedient (as provided in ASC 606-10-50-14) to not disclose the information in ASC 606-10-50-13, which requires disclosure of the amount of the transaction price allocated to our performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period and when the entity expects to recognize this amount as revenue. All consideration from contracts with customers is determined by analyzing the current aging of accounts receivable and historical loss rates on collections of accounts receivable. In addition, management considers projections of future receivable levels and collection loss rates. We monitor the inputs to this analysis periodically throughout the year. Provisions required to maintain the allowance at appropriate levels are charged to expense in each period as required. Provisions for uncollectible accounts, which are included in the Cost of Educational Services in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), were $5.1 million and $11.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, and $6.4 million and $11.9 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.transaction price.

Internal-Use Software Development Costs

Adtalem capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs that are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the software, not to exceed seven years. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of equipment, materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the internal-use software development project. Capitalization of such costs ceases at the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Capitalized internal-use software development costs for projects not yet complete are included as Construction in Progress in the Land, Building and Equipment section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of ~~December 31, 2017,~~September 30, 2018, June 30, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~December 31, 2016,~~September 30, 2017, the net balance of capitalized internal-use software development costs was ~~$8.6~~$12.4 million, ~~$11.8~~$13.5 million and ~~$15.0~~$5.0 million, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Adtalem evaluates the carrying amount of its significant long-lived assets whenever changes in circumstances or events indicate that the value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Events that may trigger an impairment analysis could include a decision by management to exit a market or a line of business or to consolidate operating locations. InDuring the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal year ~~2018,~~2019, we recorded impairment charges of ~~$23.4~~$2.2 million to write-down building, building improvements, furniture and equipment to zero based on the fair market value of the DeVry University operations, which isare classified within discontinued operations. ~~Additionally, during~~During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the campuses of AUC and RUSM were damaged from Hurricanes Irma and Maria, respectively. ~~Based on current estimates, we recorded hurricane-related~~Hurricane-related impairment charges toof $10.9 million were recorded in the first three months of fiscal year 2018 for building, building improvements, furniture and equipment of $19.0 million and $29.9 million in the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, along with receivables for insurance reimbursements of these amounts, less deductibles, of $20.8 million as of December 31, 2017.equipment. The impairment charges are included in Cost of Educational Services in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem announced its decision to relocate RUSM’s campus operations to Barbados and not return to RUSM’s Dominica campus. Adtalem recorded impairment charges of $37.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, to fully impair the land, buildings and equipment in Dominica as management has determined the market value less the costs to sell the facilities or move the equipment is zero (see “Note 10: Restructuring Charges”). The impairment charges are included in Restructuring Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). For a discussion of the impairment review of goodwill and intangible assets see “Note ~~10: Intangible Assets.~~9: Intangibles.”

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and results of operations of the AUC, RUSM and RUSVM Caribbean operations are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. As such, there is no translation gain or loss associated with these operations. Adtalem Brazil’s and EduPristine’s operations and Becker’s and ACAMS’s international operations are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these entities are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at monthly average exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the component of Shareholders’ Equity designated as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Transaction gains or losses during each of the three-month ~~and six-month~~ periods ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 ~~and 2016~~ were not material.

Noncontrolling Interest

Adtalem currently maintains a 97.9% ownership interest in Adtalem Brazil with the remaining 2.1% owned by members of the current Adtalem Brazil senior management group. In addition, Adtalem currently maintains a 69% ownership interest in EduPristine with the remaining 31% owned by Kaizen Management Advisors (“Kaizen”), an India-based private equity firm. The adjustment to increase or decrease the Adtalem Brazil and EduPristine noncontrolling interest each reporting period for ~~its~~their respective proportionate ~~share~~shares of Adtalem Brazil’s and EduPristine’s profit (loss) flows through the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) based on Adtalem’s noncontrolling interest accounting policy.

Since July 1, 2015, Adtalem has had the right to exercise a call option and purchase any remaining Adtalem Brazil stock from Adtalem Brazil management. Likewise, Adtalem Brazil management has had the right to exercise a put option and sell its remaining ownership interest in Adtalem Brazil to Adtalem.

Beginning on March 26, 2020, Adtalem will have the right to exercise a call option and purchase any remaining EduPristine stock from Kaizen. Likewise, Kaizen will have the right to exercise a put option and sell up to 33% of its remaining ownership interest in EduPristine to Adtalem. Beginning on March 26, 2022, Kaizen will have the right to exercise a put option and sell its remaining ownership interest in EduPristine to Adtalem.

Since the put ~~option is~~options are out of the control of Adtalem, authoritative guidance requires the noncontrolling interest, which includes the value of the put ~~option,~~options, to be displayed outside of the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to Adtalem by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus unvested participating restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to Adtalem by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. As required by GAAP, because the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~December 31, 2017~~September 30, 2018 resulted in a ~~net~~ loss from continuing operations, diluted earnings per share iswas computed by dividing the net loss attributable to Adtalem by the weighted average number of basic shares. Diluted shares are computed using the Treasury Stock Method and reflect the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive stock-based grants were exercised during the period. Excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share were outstanding stock-based grants representing ~~1,377,000~~272,000 and ~~1,866,000~~1,893,000 shares of common stock for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2018 and 2017, ~~respectively, and 2,643,000 and 2,808,000 shares of common stock for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016,~~ respectively. These outstanding stock-based grants were excluded because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares or the assumed proceeds upon exercise under the Treasury Stock Method resulted in the repurchase of more shares than would be issued; thus, their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Treasury Stock

Adtalem’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized share repurchase programs on ten occasions (see “Note ~~8: Dividends and~~7: Share Repurchase Programs”). The tenth share repurchase program was approved on February 16, 2017 and commenced in February 2017. Shares that are repurchased by Adtalem are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.

From time to time, shares of ~~its~~our common stock are delivered back to Adtalem under a swap arrangement resulting from employees’ exercise of incentive stock options pursuant to the terms of the Adtalem Stock Incentive Plans (see “Note 5:4: Stock-Based Compensation”). In addition, shares of ~~its~~our common stock are delivered back to Adtalem for payment of withholding taxes from employees for vesting RSUs. These shares are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.

Treasury shares are reissued on a monthly basis, at market value, to the Adtalem Colleague Stock Purchase Plan in exchange for employee payroll deductions. When treasury shares are reissued, Adtalem uses an average cost method to reduce the Treasury Stock balance. Gains on the difference between the average cost and the reissuance price are credited to Additional Paid-in Capital. Losses on the difference are charged to Additional Paid-in Capital to the extent that previous net gains from reissuance are included therein, otherwise such losses are charged to Retained Earnings.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenue and expense reported during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss is composed of the change in cumulative translation adjustment, primarily at Adtalem Brazil, and unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of the effects of income taxes.

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss balance ~~at December 31, 2017,~~as of September 30, 2018 consists of ~~$61.1~~$163.2 million of cumulative translation losses ($~~59.8~~159.4 million attributable to Adtalem and ~~$1.3~~$3.8 million attributable to noncontrolling interest) and unrealized gains on available-for-sale debt securities were immaterial. As of June 30, 2018, this balance consisted of $142.6 million of cumulative translation losses ($139.6 million attributable to Adtalem and $3.0 million to noncontrolling interest) and $0.4 million of unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.1 million and all attributable to Adtalem. As of September 30, 2017, this balance consisted of $36.1 million of cumulative translation losses ($35.3 million attributable to Adtalem and $0.8 million attributable to noncontrolling interest) and $0.4 million of unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.2 million and all attributable to Adtalem. At June 30, 2017, this balance consisted of $59.4 million of cumulative translation losses ($58.1 million attributable to Adtalem and $1.3 million attributable to noncontrolling interest) and $0.3 million of unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.2 million and all attributable to Adtalem. At December 31, 2016, this balance consisted of $51.1 million of cumulative translation losses ($50.0 million attributable to Adtalem and $1.1 million attributable to noncontrolling interest) and $0.2 million of unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.1 million and all attributable to Adtalem.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are recognized as expense in the period in which materials are purchased or services are performed. Advertising expense, which is included in Student Services and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), was ~~$22.6~~$19.0 million and ~~$49.0~~$20.2 million for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2018 and 2017, ~~respectively, and $24.2 million and $48.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016,~~ respectively.

Hurricane Expense

AUC and RUSM were affected by hurricane events occurring in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Adtalem recorded expenses of ~~$30.3~~$6.9 million and ~~$44.0~~$13.6 million associated with the evacuation process, temporary housing and transportation of students, faculty and staff, and incremental additional costs of teaching in alternate locations in the three months ~~and six months~~ ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. ~~Insurance proceeds~~Received and expected insurance proceeds of ~~$30.5~~$6.9 million and ~~$39.8~~$9.2 million were recorded to offset these expenses in the three months ~~and six months~~ ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Based upon ~~preliminary~~ damage assessments of facilities, impairment write-downs of ~~buildings,~~building, building improvements, furniture and equipment of ~~$19.0 million and $29.9~~$10.9 million were recorded in the three ~~and six~~ months ~~December 31, 2017, respectively. Expected insurance~~ended September 30, 2017. Insurance proceeds of ~~$19.0 million and $20.8~~$1.8 million were recorded to offset these expenses in the three months ~~and six months~~ ended ~~December 31, 2017, respectively.~~September 30, 2017. In total, ~~no net expense was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2017 and $13.4~~$13.6 million of net expense was recorded in Cost of Educational Services in the Consolidated ~~Statement~~Statements of Income (Loss) for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2017. The recorded expense primarily ~~represented the~~represents deductibles under the related insurance policies. No net expense was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Restructuring Charges

Adtalem’s financial statements include charges related to severance and related benefits for ~~reductions in staff.~~workforce reductions. These charges also include early lease termination or cease-of-use costs, ~~and~~ accelerated depreciation ~~and gains~~ and losses on disposals of property and equipment related to campus and administrative office consolidations (see “Note ~~11:~~10: Restructuring Charges”). When estimating the costs of exiting lease space, estimates are made which could differ materially from actual results and result in additional restructuring charges or reversals in future periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~November~~June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-18: “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” This guidance was issued to address the diversity that exists in the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. The amendments will require that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Changes in the restricted cash balance will no longer be included as cash provided by or used in operating activities since these balances will now be included in the beginning and ending balances of cash in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, we retrospectively adopted this guidance. See “Reclassifications” section below within this footnote, which discusses the disclosure impact to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15: “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This guidance was issued to address eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management has determined that our current accounting policies align with this guidance. Therefore, this guidance will have no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In June 2016, FASB issued ASU~~ No. 2016-13: “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance was issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected losses on financial instruments by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses by requiring a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09: “Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” This guidance was issued to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, forfeitures, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies will no longer be recorded to additional paid-in capital, but rather to income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, which may increase volatility in the income statement. An accounting policy election exists to account for forfeitures as they occur. Also, adoption will require changes to classification of certain stock-based compensation transactions on the statement of cash flows. The cash outflow from employee taxes paid when shares are withheld by the employer will be reclassified from operating activities to financing activities on the statement of cash flows. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, we retrospectively adopted this guidance. We elected to account for forfeitures when they occur versus our prior practice of applying a forfeiture rate. The election resulted in a cumulative adjustment to increase retained earnings and decrease additional paid-in-capital, each by $0.6 million and the corresponding tax effect to decrease retained earnings and increase deferred tax assets, each by $0.2 million. See “Reclassifications” section below within this footnote, which discusses the disclosure impact to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842).” This guidance was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-to-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements and believes the adoption will impact the Consolidated Balance Sheet with significant increases in assets and liabilities.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01: “Financial Instruments–Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This guidance was issued to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The guidance eliminates the classification of equity securities into different categories (that is, trading or available-for-sale) and requires equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, we retrospectively adopted this guidance. The adoption resulted in a cumulative adjustment to decrease retained earnings and increase additional paid-in capital, each by $0.4 million. This guidance ~~will require~~requires Adtalem to record the changes in the fair value of its available-for-sale equity investments through net ~~income. Management anticipates~~income, which is included within the ~~adoption will not have a significant impact on Adtalem’s~~ Consolidated ~~Financial Statements.~~Statements of Income (Loss) beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This guidance was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. ~~Adtalem will implement~~We adopted this guidance effective July 1, 2018 using the full retrospective approach. ~~Management is currently assessing Adtalem’s revenue recognition policies and procedures, and based on the analysis performed to date, anticipates the~~The adoption ~~will~~of this standard did not have ~~a significant~~any impact on Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial ~~Statements.~~Statements, and therefore, no adjustments were made to the prior year comparative financial statements. See subsection “Revenue Recognition” in “Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for the disclosures related to this new accounting standard.

Reclassifications

Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, we changed our reportable segments as described in “Note 15: Segment Information.” Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current reportable segment presentation within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, DeVry University isoperations were classified as discontinued operations. In addition, beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, Carrington operations were classified as ~~discussed in~~discontinued operations. See “Note 2: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for ~~Sale.”~~Sale” for further information. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current classification. Certain expenses in prior periods previously allocated to DeVry University and Carrington within the U.S. Traditional Postsecondary segment have been reclassified to the Home Office and Other segment based on discontinued operation reporting guidance regarding allocation of corporate overhead. See “Note ~~15:~~14: Segment Information” for additional information.

In addition, we have reclassified certain amounts in the operating section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to conform to current period classification.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017, we retrospectively adopted ASU 2016-18: “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” Under ASU 2016-18, changes in restricted cash is no longer included as cash provided by or used in operating activities since these balances are now included in the beginning and ending balance of cash in the statement of cash flows. In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, we retrospectively adopted ASU 2016-09: “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” Under ASU 2016-09, cash outflows from employee taxes paid when shares are withheld are classified as a financing activity. Our prior practice classified these amounts as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Therefore, we changed line items on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended December 31, 2016 based on adopting ASU 2016-09 and 2016-18 as follows (in thousands):

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:
Previously Reported $ 34,919
ASU 2016-09 Adjustment 2,650
ASU 2016-18 Adjustment 3,909
As Currently Reported $ 41,478

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities:

Net Decrease in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash:
Previously Reported $ (108,219 )
ASU 2016-18 Adjustment 3,909
As Currently Reported $ (104,310 )

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash at End of Year:
Previously Reported $ 199,945
ASU 2016-18 Adjustment 11,092
As Currently Reported $ 211,037

NOTE 5:4: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Adtalem maintains ~~three~~two stock-based incentive plans: ~~the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan,~~ the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2005 and the Fourth Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2013. Under these plans, directors, key executives and managerial employees are eligible to receive incentive stock or nonqualified options to purchase shares of Adtalem’s common stock. The Fourth Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2013 and the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2005 also permit the granting of stock appreciation rights, RSUs, performance-based RSUs and other stock and cash-based compensation. Although options remain outstanding under the ~~2003 and~~ 2005 incentive ~~plans,~~plan, no further stock-based grants will be issued ~~from these plans.~~under this plan. The Fourth Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2013 and the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2005 are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Options are granted for terms of up to ten years and can vest immediately or over periods of up to five years. The requisite service period is equal to the vesting period. The option price under the plans is the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Adtalem accounts for stock-based compensation granted to retirement eligible employees that fully vests upon an employee’s retirement under the non-substantive vesting period approach. Under this approach, the entire stock-based compensation expense is recognized at the grant date for stock-based grants issued to retirement eligible employees. For non-retirement eligible employees, stock-based compensation expense is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period. ~~With the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on July 1, 2017, we~~We account for forfeitures of outstanding but unvested grants in the period they occur.

~~At December 31, 2017, 8,797,617~~As of September 30, 2018, 7,632,222 authorized but unissued shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under Adtalem’s stock-based incentive plans.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2018 and 2017 ~~and 2016~~ was ~~$2.3~~$1.8 million and ~~$3.6~~$0.9 million, respectively.

The fair value of Adtalem’s stock option awards was estimated using a binomial model. This model uses historical ~~cancelation~~cancellation and exercise experience of Adtalem to determine the option value. It also takes into account the illiquid nature of employee options during the vesting period.

The weighted average estimated grant date fair value of options granted at market price under Adtalem’s stock-based incentive plans during the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal years 2019 and 2018 was $20.96 and ~~2017 was~~ $14.63, ~~and $9.09,~~ per share, respectively. The fair value of Adtalem’s stock option grants was estimated assuming the following weighted average assumptions:

Fiscal Year
2018 2017
Expected Life (in Years) 6.68 6.88
Expected Volatility 41.45 % 42.41 %
Risk-free Interest Rate 1.95 % 1.41 %
Dividend Yield 0.00 % 1.19 %
Pre-vesting Forfeiture Rate NA 10.00 %

	Fiscal Year
	2019			2018
Expected Life (in Years)		6.50			6.68
Expected Volatility		39.60	%		41.45	%
Risk-free Interest Rate		2.73	%		1.95	%
Dividend Yield		0.00	%		0.00	%

The expected life of the options granted is based on the weighted average exercise life with age and salary adjustment factors from historical exercise behavior. Adtalem’s expected volatility is computed by combining and weighting the implied market volatility, the most recent volatility over the expected life of the option grant and Adtalem’s long-term historical volatility. On February 16, 2017, Adtalem discontinued payment of cash dividends, resulting in the elimination of a dividend yield from the assumptions. The pre-vesting stock option forfeiture rate for fiscal year 2017 was based on Adtalem’s historical stock option forfeiture experience. With the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on July 1, 2017, we account for forfeitures as they occur. Therefore, no pre-vesting stock option forfeiture rate applies for fiscal year 2018.

If factors change and different assumptions are employed in the valuation of stock-based grants in future periods, the stock-based compensation expense that Adtalem records may differ significantly from what was recorded in previous periods.

During the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018,~~2019, Adtalem granted ~~493,880~~199,750 RSUs to selected ~~employees and directors.~~employees. Of these, ~~239,290~~65,160 are performance-based RSUs and ~~254,590~~134,590 are non-performance-based RSUs. Performance-based RSUs are earned by the recipients over a three-year period based on achievement of certain mission-based ~~and~~goals, academic goals, achievement of a minimum level of Adtalem’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), achievement of a minimum level of Adtalem’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) or achievement of a minimum level of ~~return on invested capital (“ROIC”).~~Adtalem’s free cash flow per share. Non-performance-based RSUs are subject to restrictions, which lapse ratably over one, three or four-year periods on the grant anniversary date based on the recipient’s continued service on the Board, employment with Adtalem or upon retirement. During the restriction period, the recipient of the ~~non-performance based~~non-performance-based RSUs has the right to receive dividend equivalents, if any. This right does not pertain to the performance-based RSUs. The following is a summary of RSU activity for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~December 31, 2017:~~September 30, 2018:

Adtalem has an established practice of issuing new shares of common stock to satisfy stock-based grant exercises. However, Adtalem also may issue treasury shares to satisfy stock-based grant exercises under certain of its stock-based incentive plans.

NOTE 6:5: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Adtalem has elected not to measure any assets or liabilities at fair value other than those required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill, intangible assets and assets of businesses where the long-term value of the operations have been impaired.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The guidance establishes fair value measurement classifications under the following hierarchy:

Level 1–Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

When available, Adtalem uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and such measurements are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, Adtalem makes use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates and yield curves. These measurements are classified within Level 3.

Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination. These assets are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently completed as of May 31, ~~2017.~~2018. See “Note ~~10: Intangible Assets”~~9: Intangibles” for further discussion on the impairment review including valuation techniques and assumptions.

NOTE 7:6: FINANCING RECEIVABLES

Adtalem’s institutional loan programs are available to students at ~~its~~ Chamberlain, AUC, RUSM ~~RUSVM~~ and ~~Carrington institutions.~~RUSVM. These loan programs are designed to assist students who are unable to completely cover educational costs consisting of tuition, books and fees and are available only after all other student financial assistance has been applied toward those purposes. In addition, AUC, RUSM and RUSVM loans may be used for students’ living expenses. Repayment plans for institutional loan program balances are developed to address the financial circumstances of the particular student. Interest charges at rates from 3.76% to 12.0% per annum accrue each month on the unpaid balance. Chamberlain ~~and Carrington require~~requires that students begin repaying loans while they are still in school with a minimum payment level designed to demonstrate their capability to repay, reduce the possibility of over borrowing and to minimize interest being accrued on the loan balance. Payments may increase upon completing or departing the program. After a student leaves school, the student typically will have a monthly installment repayment plan. In addition, the Becker CPA Exam Review Course can be financed through Becker with an 18-month term loan program.

Reserves for uncollectible loans are determined by analyzing the current aging of institutional loans and historical loss rates of loans at each institution. Management performs this analysis periodically throughout the year. Loans are considered nonperforming and are fully reserved if they are more than 90 days past due. Since all of Adtalem’s financing receivables are generated through the extension of credit to fund educational costs, all such receivables are considered part of the same loan portfolio.

All amortizable intangible assets except student relationships and customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis. The amount being amortized for student relationships is based on the estimated progression of the students through the respective ~~Centro Universitário Vale do Ipojuca (“Unifavip”),~~ Damásio Educacional (“Damasio”) and Grupo Ibmec Educacional S.A. (“Grupo Ibmec”) programs, giving consideration to the revenue and cash flow associated with both existing students and new applicants. The amount being amortized for customer relationships related to ACAMS is based on the estimated retention of the customers, giving consideration to the revenue and cash flow associated with these existing customers.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to trade names, Title IV eligibility, accreditations and intellectual property are not amortized, as there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets to the reporting entity.

In accordance with GAAP, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. Adtalem’s annual impairment review was most recently completed ~~during the fourth quarter~~as of ~~fiscal year 2017,~~May 31, 2018, at which time, there was no impairment loss associated with recorded goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for any reporting unit.

Adtalem ~~had six~~has five reporting units that contained goodwill as of the ~~start of the second~~first quarter of fiscal year ~~2018.~~2019. These reporting units constitute components for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit containing the goodwill exceeds the fair value of that reporting unit, an impairment loss to goodwill is recognized. In analyzing the results of operations and business conditions of all the reporting units, as of ~~December 31, 2017,~~September 30, 2018, it was determined that no triggering event had occurred that would indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit had exceeded its fair value, except at DeVry University. During the quarter, a triggering event did occur within the DeVry University reporting unit which resulted in a write-off of all goodwill balances as of December 31, 2017.value.

~~On December 4, 2017,~~ Adtalem entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Adtalem agreed to sell DeVry University to Cogswell Education, LLC (“Cogswell”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Adtalem will sell all of the outstanding equity interests of DeVry University, Inc. and DeVry New York Inc. to Cogswell for $1.00. As this sales price indicates a fair value that is less than the carrying value of the DeVry University goodwill and intangible asset balances, both amounts were written down to zero as of December 31, 2017. This resulted in impairment charges for goodwill of $22.2 million and indefinite-lived intangible assets of $1.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018. These amounts were charged to Discontinued Operations (see “Note 2: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale”).

~~For indefinite-lived intangible assets at the six~~has five reporting units that contained indefinite-lived intangible assets as of ~~December 31, 2017,~~the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, management first analyzes qualitative factors including results of operations and business conditions of the five reporting units that contained indefinite-lived intangible assets, significant changes in cash flows at the individual indefinite-lived intangible asset level, if applicable, as well as how much previously calculated fair values exceed carrying values to determine if it is more likely than not that the intangible assets associated with these reporting units have been impaired. At Carrington, management is executing a plan to increase enrollment and control costs to improve profitability. As a result, as of the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, management does not believe business conditions had deteriorated such that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Title IV Eligibility and Accreditation indefinite-lived intangible asset had fallen below its carrying value.Should declines in student enrollment at Carrington result in financial performance that is significantly below management expectations, the carrying value of this reporting unit’s indefinite-lived intangible assets could be impaired. This could require a write-off of up to $20.2 million.

Management does not believe the effects of Hurricanes Irma and Maria created a triggering event ~~which~~that would require an impairment analysis of AUC’s or RUSM’s indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill. Damage to physical property ~~will be~~is being repaired with the majority of costs expected to be reimbursable by insurance proceeds. The September 2017 semesters at both institutions were completed with minimal lost students and revenue and commencement of future semesters iswas not ~~in question.~~impacted. Management believes it is probable that the response to the crisis and its ability to continue providing educational services demonstrates AUC’s and RUSM’s ability to generate future revenue and operating results sufficient to maintain fair values of these assets in excess of their carrying values.

These interim triggering event conclusions were based on the fact that the ~~qualitative analysis~~annual impairment review of Adtalem’s reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted in no impairment indicators as of the end of fiscal year ~~2017, except at the DeVry University reporting unit,~~2018, and that no interim events or deviations from planned operating results occurred as of ~~December 31, 2017,~~September 30, 2018, that would cause management to reassess these conclusions.

On August 3, 2018, Adtalem announced plans to relocate RUSM to Barbados from its temporary location in Knoxville, Tennessee at facilities owned by Lincoln Memorial University (“LMU”) and a facility on St Kitts. Management believes the values of RUSM’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets will not be affected by this move. The Trade Name will continue to be used and we expect to receive the approval of the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) to operate in Barbados prior to the move. No new accreditation is necessary, RUSM’s secondary accreditor the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (“CAAM-HP”) will become its primary accreditor upon the start of the January 2019 semester, pending approval by ED. CAAM-HP is authorized by the government of Barbados to accredit medical programs.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit or an intangible asset involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Management bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable at the time, but such assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty. Actual results may differ from those estimates, which could lead to additional impairments of intangible assets or goodwill.

~~At December 31, 2017,~~As of September 30, 2018, intangible assets from business combinations totaled ~~$407.0~~$355.6 million and goodwill totaled ~~$832.9~~$805.3 million. Together, these assets equaled ~~approximately 56%~~49% of total assets as of such date, and any impairment could significantly affect future results of operations.

The ~~increase~~decrease in the goodwill balance from June 30, ~~2017~~2018 in the Professional Education segment is the result of a change in the value of the British Sterling Pound and Indian Rupee compared to the U.S. dollar. Since Becker’s European subsidiary’s and EduPristine’s goodwill is recorded in local currency, fluctuations in the ~~value~~values of the British Sterling Pound and Indian Rupee in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset. The ~~increase~~decrease in the goodwill balance from June 30, ~~2017~~2018 in the Technology and Business segment is the result of ~~the addition of $4.1 million with the acquisition of SJT. The increase was partially offset by~~ a change in the value of the Brazilian Real compared to the U.S. dollar. Since Adtalem Brazil goodwill is recorded in local currency, fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian Real in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset.

Total indefinite-lived intangible assets decreased by ~~$0.2~~$4.8 million from June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. The decrease is the result of a change in the value of the Brazilian Real as compared to the U.S. dollar.

NOTE ~~11:~~10: RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

During the first three months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to the impairment of the land, buildings and ~~six~~equipment at the Dominica campus of RUSM and severance related to workforce reductions in Dominica. On August 3, 2018, management announced its decision to relocate RUSM’s campus operations to Barbados and not return to Dominica. The land, buildings and equipment in Dominica have been fully impaired as management has determined the market value less the costs to sell the facilities or move the equipment is zero (see “Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”). In addition, during the first three months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office. During the first three months of fiscal year 2018, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to workforce reductions ~~in force (“RIF”) and real estate consolidations~~ at ~~Carrington and~~ Adtalem’s home office. When estimating costs of exiting lease space, estimates are made which could differ materially from actual results and result in additional restructuring charges or reversals in future periods. Termination benefit charges, as a result of reducing Adtalem’s workforce by 98176 and 7 positions in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year 2019 and 2018, respectively, represented severance pay and benefits for these employees. We also recorded a reduction to restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal year 2018 for an adjustment to previously accrued estimates for real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office. During the first three and six months of fiscal year 2017, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to real estate consolidations at Carrington and Adtalem’s home office. Adtalem’s home office is classified as “Home Office and Other” in “Note ~~15:~~14: Segment ~~Information” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.~~Information.” Pre-tax restructuring charges by segment were as follows (in thousands):

Of this liability balance, ~~$16.4~~$14.7 million is recorded as Accrued Liabilities and ~~$25.4~~$18.2 million is recorded as ~~Deferred Rent and~~ Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet ~~at December 31, 2017.~~as of September 30, 2018. These liability balances primarily represent rent accruals and costs for employees that have either not yet separated from Adtalem or their full severance has not yet been paid. All of these remaining costs are expected to be paid ~~over the next 12 months except for rent charges which may be paid~~ out for periods of up to 87 years.

NOTE ~~12:~~11: INCOME TAXES

~~Tax expense~~The effective tax rate on loss from continuing operations ~~of $109.6 million~~ was ~~recorded~~27.9% in the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared to 14.9% on income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. ~~As discussed below, tax expense from continuing operations includes $101.2 million to record~~This increase reflects the ~~one-time impact~~impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), and generated effective tax rates on income from continuing operations of 202.0% and 141.2% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2018, respectively. The effective tax rates on income from continuing operations excluding tax expense related to the Tax Act were 15.6% for the second quarter and 15.0% for the first six months of fiscal year 2018. A tax benefit of $10.1 million was recorded in continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, driven primarily from the settlement costs of various regulatory litigation, and generated effective tax rates on income from continuing operations of 362.0% and -7.6% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2017. The effective tax rates on income from continuing operations excluding the settlements were 19.4% and 20.8% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2017. Excluding the one-time impact of the Tax Act and settlements, the decrease in tax rates reflects the decrease in theincluding a lower U.S. tax rate resulting from the Tax Act ~~as well as~~Offset by higher additional expense from provisions of the Tax Act that are effective beginning in fiscal year 2019. The increase in the tax rate from the Tax Act was partially offset by an increase in the percentage of earnings from foreign operations, which are taxed at lower rates than domestic earnings.

The provisions from the Tax Act impacting fiscal year 2019 include a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), a deduction for foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”), a limitation of certain executive compensation, and the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction. We have elected to account for GILTI as a period cost. The effective tax rate includes estimates of these new provisions. Our estimates may be revised in future periods as we obtain additional data and any new regulations or guidance is released.

Four of Adtalem’s operating units, AUC, which operates in St. Maarten, RUSM, which ~~operates~~operated in Dominica, RUSVM, which operates in St. Kitts, and Adtalem Brazil, which operates in Brazil, all benefit from local tax incentives. AUC’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from investment incentives. RUSM and RUSVM each have agreements with their respective domestic governments that exempt them from local income taxation. Both of these agreements have been extended to provide, in the case of RUSM, an indefinite period of exemption and, in the case of RUSVM, exemption until 2037. On August 3, 2018, Adtalem announced plans to permanently relocate RUSM from Dominica to Barbados. Management expects to conclude discussions with the Barbados government in mid-fiscal year 2019 regarding local incentives, including tax matters. Adtalem Brazil’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from its participation in PROUNI, a Brazilian program for providing scholarships to a portion of its undergraduate students.

~~Adtalem had not previously recorded a U.S. federal or state tax provision for the undistributed earnings~~As of ~~its international subsidiaries. As a result of the Tax Act,~~September 30, 2018, Adtalem has revised its intent to indefinitely reinvest accumulated cash balances, future cash flows and post-acquisition undistributed earnings and profits in foreign operations, and only intends to maintain this position with respect to cash balances, cash flows and accumulated and future earnings in Brazil. In accordance with this plan, cash held by the subsidiaries in Brazil will not be available for general company purposes, and no foreign or state tax has been recorded on such amount. As of December 31, 2017, the cumulative undistributed earnings attributable to operations in Brazil was approximately $91 million.

Adtalem’s effective tax rate was impacted by the Tax Act, which was enacted into law on December 22, 2017. Income tax effects resulting from changes in tax laws are required to be accounted for in the period in which the law is enacted, and the effects are recorded as a component of provision for income taxes from continuing operations. As a result, a provision for income tax resulting from the enactment of the Tax Act was recorded in the quarter.

The Tax Act includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, which reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% as of January 1, 2018; shifts to a modified territorial tax regime, which requires companies to pay a transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred; and creates new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings. The decrease in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% results in a blended statutory tax rate of 28.1% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The new taxes for certain foreign-sourced earnings under the Tax Act are effective for Adtalem after the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.

The tax expense recorded in the quarter upon enactment of the Tax Act includes $96.3 million for the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, payable over eight years; $2.5 million to record the impact of the reduction in tax rates on our net deferred tax asset position; and $2.7 million for state income and foreign withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings that are no longer intended to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, partially offset by $0.3 million to reduce tax expense recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 for the reduction in the U.S. tax rate. As of December 31, 2017, Adtalem had not fully completed its accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Tax Act. We are still evaluating various impacts of the enacted legislation and these impacts may ~~materially~~ differ from the estimated impacts recognized in the second ~~quarter~~and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2018 due to future treasury regulations, tax law technical corrections, and other potential guidance, notices, rulings, refined computations and actions we may take as a result of the tax legislation, and other items. The SEC has issued rules that allow for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the legislation to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts.

The Tax Act also includes provisions for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) wherein taxes on foreign income are imposed in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. This income will effectively be taxed in general at a 10.5% tax rate. Because of the complexity of these provisions, Adtalem has not completed its analysis on the potential impact to its deferred tax assets and liabilities, or whether to (i) account for GILTI as a component of tax expense in the period in which Adtalem is subject to the rules (the “period cost method”), or (ii) account for GILTI in Adtalem’s measurement of deferred taxes (the “deferred method”).

~~Revolving~~Prior Credit Facility

Adtalem entered into a revolving credit facility on March 31, 2015, which ~~expires~~was set to expire on March 31, ~~2020.~~2020 (“Prior Credit Facility”). The ~~revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) provides~~Prior Credit Facility provided for a multi-currency revolving credit facility in the amount of $400 million and $100 million available for letters of credit. As of September 30, 2017, Adtalem’s borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility were $135 million with a weighted average interest rate of 3.24%.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On April 13, 2018, Adtalem replaced the Prior Credit Facility with new credit facilities under a new Credit Agreement (the ~~“Aggregate Commitment”~~“Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (1) a $300 million revolving facility (“Revolver”) with a maturity date of April 13, 2023 and (2) a $300 million senior secured Term B loan (“Term B Loan”) with a maturity date of April 13, 2025. We refer to the Revolver and Term B Loan collectively as the “Credit Facility.” The Revolver has availability infor currencies other than U.S. dollars of up to $200 ~~million.~~million and $100 million available for letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, the ~~Aggregate Commitment~~Credit Facility may be increased upby $250 million.

Term B Loan

For Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Term B Loan interest is equal to ~~$550 million. On October 4, 2016, Adtalem entered into~~LIBOR or a ~~First Amendment~~LIBOR-equivalent rate plus 3%. For Base Rate Loans, Term B Loan interest is equal to ~~Credit Agreement, which amends~~ the ~~Aggregate Commitment to increase~~base rate plus 2%. The Term B Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments of $750,000, with the ~~amount available for letters~~balance due at maturity on April 13, 2025. As of ~~credit from $50 million to $100 million. Adtalem may select~~September 30, 2018, the interest ~~rates~~rate for borrowings under the ~~Credit Agreement~~Term B Loan facility was 5.24%, which approximated the effective interest rate.

Revolver

Revolver interest is equal to LIBOR or a LIBOR-equivalent rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans or a base rate, plus an applicable rate based on Adtalem’s consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The applicable rate ranges from 2%1.75% to 3%2.75% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and from 1%0.75% to 2%1.75% for Base Rate Loans. As of December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Adtalem borrowings under this agreement were $165 million, $125 million and $225 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.42%, 3.18% and 2.73%, respectively. There are no required principal payments under the Credit Agreement and all borrowings and letters of credit mature on March 31, 2020. As a result of the agreement extending beyond one year, the borrowings are classified as long-term with the exception of amounts expected to be repaid in the 12 months subsequent to the balance sheet date, if any.

Adtalem letters of credit outstanding ~~under this agreement~~ were $68.4 as of each of September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 and $68.5 million as of ~~each of December 31, 2017, June~~September 30, ~~2017 and December 31, 2016.~~2017. Of this amount, $68.4 million was posted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 in relation to the ~~ED Settlement (see “Note: 3 Regulatory Settlements”).~~Federal Trade Commission Settlement. Upon the close of the sale of DeVry University (see “Note 2: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale”), Adtalem will continue to post this letter of credit on behalf of DeVry University.

As of ~~December 31, 2017,~~September 30, 2018, Adtalem is charged an annual fee equal to ~~2.0%~~2.25% of the undrawn face amount of the outstanding letters of credit under the ~~agreement,~~Revolver, payable quarterly. The agreement also requires payment of a commitment fee equal to ~~0.35%~~0.40% of the undrawn portion of the ~~credit facility~~Revolver as of ~~December 31, 2017.~~September 30, 2018. The ~~interest rate,~~amount undrawn under the Revolver, which includes the impact of the outstanding letters of credit, was $231.6 million as of September 30, 2018. The letter of credit fees and commitment fees are adjustable quarterly, based upon Adtalem’s achievement of certain financial ratios.

Debt Issuance Costs

Adtalem incurred $9.9 million in fees that were capitalized in relation to the Credit Agreement entered into on April 13, 2018, $7.1 million of which was related to the Term B Loan facility and $2.7 million of which was related to the Revolver facility. The deferred debt issuance costs related to the Term B Loan are presented as a direct deduction from the face amount of the debt, while the deferred debt issuance costs related to the Revolver are classified as Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the total deferred debt issuance costs for the Term B Loan and Revolver, which will be amortized over seven years and five years, respectively (in thousands):

Covenants and Guarantees

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including restrictions on our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interest on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances or investments, or sell or otherwise transfer assets.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. Maintenance of these financial ratios could place restrictions on Adtalem’s ability to pay dividends. These financial ratios include a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated leverage ratio and a U.S. Department of Education financial responsibility ratio based upon a composite score of an equity ratio, a primary reserve ratio and a net income ratio. Failure to maintain any of these ratios or to comply with other covenants contained in the agreement would constitute an event of default and could result in termination of the agreement and require payment of all outstanding borrowings and replacement of outstanding letters of credit. Adtalem was in compliance with the debt covenants as of ~~December 31, 2017.~~September 30, 2018.

The stock of all U.S. and certain foreign subsidiaries of Adtalem is pledged as collateral for ~~the~~ borrowings under the ~~revolving credit facility.~~Credit Agreement.

The Term B Loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to a percentage of Excess Cash Flow, which is defined within the Credit Agreement, subject to incremental step-downs, depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. Beginning in fiscal year 2019, the Excess Cash Flow payment will be due in the first quarter of each year, and is based on the Excess Cash Flow and Leverage Ratio for the prior year. No payment is due as of September 30, 2018.

Our borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and all of our domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) and secured by a first lien on our assets and the assets of our guarantor subsidiaries (excluding real estate), including capital stock of the subsidiaries.

Deferred Acquisition Obligations

Adtalem also has liabilities recorded for deferred purchase price agreements with sellers related to the purchases of Faculdade Diferencial Integral (“Facid”), Faculdade Ideal (“Faci”), Damasio, Grupo Ibmec, Faculdade de Imperatriz (“Facimp”) and SJT. This financing is in the form of holdbacks of a portion of the purchase price of these acquisitions or installment payments. Payments are made under these agreements based on payment schedules or the resolution of any pre-acquisition contingencies.

NOTE ~~14:~~13: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Adtalem is subject to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews and investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other matters arising in the normal conduct of its business. As of September 30, 2018, Adtalem believes it has adequately reserved for potential losses. The following is a description of pending legal and regulatory matters that may be considered other than ordinary, routine and incidental to the business. Descriptions of certain matters from prior SEC filings may not be carried forward in this report to the extent we believe such matters no longer are required to be disclosed or there has not been, to our knowledge, significant activity relating to them. The timing or outcome of the following matters, or their possible impact on Adtalem’s business, financial condition or results of operations, cannot be predicted at this time. The continued defense, resolution or settlement of any of the following matters could require us to expend significant resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and result in the imposition of significant restrictions on us and our ability to operate.

On August 28, 2015, DeVry University received a request from the Multi-Regional and Foreign School Participation Division of the Federal Student Aid office of the Department of Education (“ED FSA”) for documents and information regarding published employment outcomes and relative earnings information of DeVry University graduates (the “Inquiry”). The stated purpose of the Inquiry was to permit ED FSA to assess DeVry University’s compliance with applicable regulations under Title IV. On January 27, 2016, DeVry University received a Notice of Intent to Limit from ED FSA (the “ED January 2016 Notice”), based on a portion of the Inquiry, and on October 13, 2016, DeVry University and the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) reached a negotiated agreement to settle the ED January 2016 Notice (the “ED Settlement”).

On May 13, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, against Adtalem, Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst, and Timothy J. Wiggins in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased Adtalem common stock between February 4, 2011 and January 27, 2016. The complaint cites the ED January 2016 Notice and a civil complaint (the “FTC lawsuit”) filed by the ~~U.S. Federal Trade Commission~~FTC on January 27, 2016 against Adtalem, DeVry University, Inc., and DeVry/New York Inc. (collectively, the “Adtalem Parties”), which was resolved with the FTC in 2017, that alleged that certain of DeVry University’s advertising claims were false or misleading or unsubstantiated at the time they were made in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as the basis for claims that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and the earnings of DeVry University graduates relative to the graduates of other universities and colleges. As a result of these alleged false or misleading statements, the plaintiff alleged that defendants overstated Adtalem’s growth, revenue and earnings potential and made false or misleading statements about Adtalem’s business, operations and prospects. The plaintiff alleged direct liability against all defendants for violations of §10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act and asserted liability against the individual defendants pursuant to §20(a) of the Exchange Act. The plaintiff sought monetary damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, costs and other unspecified relief. On July 13, 2016, the Utah Retirement System (“URS”) moved for appointment as lead plaintiff and approval of its selection of counsel, which was not opposed by the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers and URS was appointed as lead plaintiff on August 24, 2016. URS filed a second amended complaint (“SAC”) on December 23, 2016. The SAC sought to represent a putative class of persons who purchased Adtalem common stock between August 26, 2011 and January 27, 2016 and ~~names~~named an additional individual defendant, Patrick J. Unzicker. Like the original complaint, the SAC asserted claims against all defendants for alleged violations of §10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act and asserted liability against the individual defendants pursuant to §20(a) of the Exchange Act for alleged material misstatements or omissions regarding DeVry University graduate outcomes. On January 27, 2017, defendants moved to dismiss the SAC, which motion was granted on December 6, 2017 without prejudice. The plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”) on January 29, 2018.

On or about June 21, 2016, T’Lani Robinson and Robby Brown filed an arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association in Chicago, seeking to represent a putative class of students who received a DeVry University education from January 1, 2008 until April 8, 2016 (the “Putative Class Period”). Following Adtalem’s filing of a declaratory judgment action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois seeking, among other things, an order declaring that federal court is the appropriate venue for this putative class action, on September 12, 2016, Robinson and Brown voluntarily withdrew their demand for arbitration. On September 20, 2016, Robinson and Brown answered the declaratory judgement action and filed a putative class action counterclaim, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, against Adtalem Inc., DeVry University, Inc., and DeVry/New York, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The counterclaim asserted causes of action for breach of contract, misrepresentation, concealment, negligence, violations of the Illinois Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and the Illinois Private Business and Vocational Schools Act, conversion, unjust enrichment, and declaratory relief. The plaintiffs sought monetary, declaratory, injunctive, and other unspecified relief. On November 4, 2016, following a stipulated dismissal of the declaratory action, the Adtalem Parties moved to dismiss the counterclaim after which plaintiffs voluntarily withdrew it. On December 2, 2016, Robinson and Brown filed an amended complaint adding two additional named plaintiffs. The amended complaint purports to assert nationwide class claims under the above-referenced Illinois statutes and common law theories on behalf of those who, during the Putative Class Period, (i) enrolled in DeVry University; (ii) financed their education with DeVry University with direct loans administered by ED; or (iii) entered into an enrollment agreement with DeVry University and otherwise paid for a DeVry University education. The amended complaint also seeks to represent a fourth class of individuals residing in, or enrolled in a DeVry University campus located in, California during the Putative Class Period bringing claims under the California Business and Profession Code. In addition to the claims previously asserted as described above, the amended complaint adds a claim for breach of fiduciary duty owed students in administering Title IV funds. The Adtalem Parties moved to dismiss the ~~amended complaint~~TAC on ~~January 13, 2017.~~March 30, 2018.

On October 14, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by Debbie Petrizzo and five other former DeVry University students, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, against the Adtalem Parties in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Petrizzo Case”). The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons consisting of those who enrolled in and/or attended classes at DeVry University from at least 2002 through the present and who were unable to find employment within their chosen field of study within six months of graduation. Citing the FTC lawsuit, the plaintiffs claimed that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and asserted claims for unjust enrichment and violations of six different states’ consumer fraud, unlawful trade practices, and consumer protection laws. The plaintiffs seek monetary, declaratory, injunctive, and other unspecified relief.

On October 28, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by Jairo Jara and eleven others, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, against the Adtalem Parties in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Jara Case”). The individual plaintiffs claim to have graduated from DeVry University in 2001 or later and sought to proceed on behalf of a putative class of persons consisting of those who obtained a degree from DeVry University and who were unable to find employment within their chosen field of study within six months of graduation. Citing the FTC lawsuit, the plaintiffs claimed that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and asserted claims for unjust enrichment and violations of ten different states’ consumer fraud, unlawful trade practices, and consumer protection laws. The plaintiffs seek monetary, declaratory, injunctive, and other unspecified relief.

By ~~Order~~order dated November 28, 2016, the district court ordered thePetrizzo andJara Cases be consolidated under thePetrizzo caption for all further purposes. On December 5, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint on behalf of 38 individual plaintiffs and others similarly situated. The amended consolidated complaint seeks to bring claims on behalf of the named individuals and a putative nationwide class of individuals for unjust enrichment and alleged violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act and the Illinois Private Businesses and Vocational Schools Act of 2012. In addition, it purports to assert causes of action on behalf of certain of the named individuals and 15 individual state-specific putative classes for alleged violations of 15 different states’ consumer fraud, unlawful trade practices, and consumer protection laws. Finally, it seeks to bring individual claims under Georgia state law on behalf of certain named plaintiffs. The plaintiffs seek monetary, declaratory, injunctive, and other unspecified relief. A motion to dismiss the amended complaint was filed by the Adtalem Parties and granted by the court, without prejudice, on February 12, 2018. Because the case was dismissed without prejudice, the plaintiffs can re-file the action.

On April 12, 2018, the Petrizzo plaintiffs refiled their complaint with a new lead plaintiff, Renee Heather Polly. The plaintiffs’ refiled complaint is nearly identical to the complaint previously dismissed by the court on February 12, 2018. The Adtalem Parties moved to dismiss ~~the~~this refiled complaint on ~~February 3, 2017.~~May 14, 2018.

On January 17, 2017, Harriet Myers filed a complaint derivatively on behalf of Adtalem in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against individual defendants Daniel M. Hamburger, Timothy J. Wiggins, Richard M. Gunst, Patrick J. Unzicker, Christopher B. Begley, David S. Brown, Lisa W. Wardell, Ann Weaver Hart, Lyle Logan, Alan G. Merten, Fernando Ruiz, Ronald L. Taylor and James D. White. Adtalem was named as a nominal defendant only. The plaintiffs have agreed to a stipulated order moving the case to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Citing the FTC lawsuit and settlement, the ED January 2016 Notice and ED Settlement, and the allegations in the lawsuit filed by the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers, each referenced above, the plaintiff alleges that the individual defendants have breached their fiduciary duties and violated federal securities law since at least 2011. The plaintiff asserts that the individual defendants permitted Adtalem to engage in unlawful conduct, failed to correct misconduct or prevent its recurrence, and failed to ensure the accurate dissemination of information to shareholders. The complaint attempts to state three claims: (i) breach of fiduciary duty by all named defendants for allegedly allowing the illegal conduct to occur, (ii) unjust enrichment by all individual defendants in the receipt of compensation, and (iii) violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by failing to disclose the alleged illegal scheme in proxy statements and falsely stating that compensation was based on “pay for performance” where those performance results were allegedly false. The plaintiff seeks on behalf of Adtalem monetary, injunctive and other unspecified relief.

On June 20, 2017, the City of Hialeah Employees Retirement System filed a complaint derivatively on behalf of Adtalem in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against individual defendants Daniel M. Hamburger, Christopher B. Begley, Lisa W. Wardell, Lyle Logan, Fernando Ruiz, Ronald L. Taylor and James D. White. Adtalem was named as a nominal defendant only. Citing the FTC lawsuit and settlement, the ED January 2016 Notice and ED settlement, and documents produced in response to plaintiff’s request under Section 220 of the Delaware Code, the plaintiff alleges that the individual defendants have breached their fiduciary duties. The plaintiff asserts that the individual defendants permitted Adtalem and DeVry University to make, and failed to stop, false and misleading advertisements in breach of their fiduciary duties and in bad faith. The plaintiff seeks on behalf of Adtalem monetary and other unspecified relief. A motion to dismiss the complaint was filed by the Adtalem Parties on September 1, 2017, which was partially granted as to one count and partially denied as to another count on April 20, 2018.

On April 13, 2018, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by Nicole Versetto, individually and on behalf of other similarly situated, against the Adtalem Parties in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division. The complaint was filed on behalf of herself and three separate classes of similarly situated individuals who were citizens of the State of Illinois who purchased or paid for a DeVry University program between January 1, 2008 and April 8, 2016. The plaintiffs claim that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and asserts causes of action under the Illinois Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and Illinois Private Business and Vocational Schools Act, and claims of breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation, concealment, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, unjust enrichment, and declaratory relief as to violations of state law. The plaintiffs seek compensatory, exemplary, punitive, treble, and statutory penalties and damages, including pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, in addition to restitution, declaratory and injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees. The Adtalem Parties moved to dismiss ~~the~~this complaint on ~~September 1, 2017.~~June 20, 2018.

On May 8, 2018, the Carlson Law Firm filed a lawsuit against the Adtalem Parties on behalf of 71 individual former DeVry University students. Calson filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. Plaintiffs contend that DeVry University “made deceptive representations about the benefits of obtaining a degree from DeVry University” in violation of Texas state laws and seek full restitution of all monies paid to DeVry University and any student loan lenders, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. The Adtalem Parties moved to dismiss this complaint on June 5, 2018.

On June 21, 2018, the Stoltman Law Firm filed a lawsuit against Adtalem in Cook County Circuit Court, alleging that Adtalem breached a contract with the Stoltman Law Firm to pay filing fees associated with arbitration claims the Stoltman Law Firm has filed with JAMS. The Stoltman Law Firm is seeking Specific Performance from the Court. Adtalem moved to dismiss this complaint on August 3, 2018.

On June 27, 2018, the Carlson Law Firm filed a lawsuit on behalf of 32 former DeVry University students against the Adtalem Parties. Carlson filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The allegations are identical to the allegations in the lawsuit The Carlson Law Firm filed on May 8, 2018. Specifically, plaintiffs contend that DeVry University “made deceptive representations about the benefits of obtaining a degree from DeVry University” in violation of Texas state laws and seek full restitution of all monies paid to DeVry University and any student loan lenders, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. The Adtalem Parties moved to dismiss this complaint on August 28, 2018.

NOTE ~~15:~~14: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, DeVry University operations iswere classified as discontinued operations. In addition, beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, Carrington operations were classified as ~~discussed in~~discontinued operations. See “Note 2: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for ~~Sale.” Therefore, segment~~Sale” for further information. Segment information presented excludes the results of DeVry University and Carrington, which iswere previously classified within our former U.S. Traditional Postsecondary segment and are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Discontinued operations assets are included in the table below to reconcile to Total Consolidated Assets presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, certain expenses previously allocated to DeVry University and Carrington within ~~the~~our former U.S. Traditional Postsecondary segment have been reclassified to the Home Office and Other segment based on discontinued operating reporting guidance regarding allocation of corporate overhead.

Adtalem’s principal business is the provision of educational services. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, Adtalem effected a change to reportable segments to align with current strategic priorities and resource allocation. As of the quarter ended March 31, 2017, Adtalem presents ~~four~~three reporting segments: “Medical and Healthcare,” which includes the operations of Chamberlain and the medical and veterinary schools (which include AUC, RUSM and RUSVM); “Professional Education,” which includes the operations of ACAMS, Becker and ~~ACAMS;~~EduPristine; and “Technology and Business,” which includes the operations of Adtalem ~~Brazil; and “U.S. Traditional Postsecondary,” which includes the operations of Carrington. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current reportable segment presentation.~~Brazil.

These segments are consistent with the method by which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (Adtalem’s President and Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance and allocates resources. Performance evaluations are based, in part, on each segment’s operating income. Intersegment sales are accounted for at amounts comparable to sales to nonaffiliated customers and are eliminated in consolidation. “Home Office and Other” includes activity not allocated to a reporting segment and is included to reconcile segment results to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Segments may have allocated depreciation expense related to depreciable assets reported as an asset in a different segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in “Note 4:3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Summary financial information by reporting segment is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 15: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In October 2018, Adtalem received the final Proof of Loss (“POL”) statements from its insurance carrier for losses sustained from Hurricanes Irma and Maria at AUC and RUSM, respectively. Funds from the final POLs, which are expected to be received in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, will provide an additional $40.0 million to offset all costs associated with these events. Adtalem intends to apply these funds against the $17.8 million receivable recorded at September 30, 2018 and additional expenses of approximately $7.0 million to be incurred in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, likely resulting in a gain of approximately $15.2 million, which Adtalem intends to also record in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Through its website, Adtalem Global Education Inc. (“~~Adtalem”~~Adtalem,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) offers its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Adtalem’s website is http://www.adtalem.com.

The following discussion of Adtalem’s results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto in “Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto in “Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Adtalem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2017.~~2018. Adtalem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a description of critical accounting policies and estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of Adtalem’s financial statements. These include, but are not limited to, the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; revenue and expense recognition; allowance for uncollectible accounts; internal-use developed software; land, building and equipment; stock-based compensation; valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets; valuation of long-lived assets; and income taxes.

The seasonal pattern of Adtalem’s enrollments and its educational programs’ starting dates affect the results of operations and the timing of cash flows. Therefore, management believes that comparisons of ~~its~~Adtalem’s results of operations should primarily be made to the corresponding period in the preceding year. Comparisons of financial position should be made to both the end of the previous fiscal year and to the end of the corresponding quarterly period in the preceding year.

~~As described further below, on~~On December 4, 2017, Adtalem announced the signing of a definitive agreement to divest the outstanding equity interests of DeVry University, Inc. and DeVry/New York Inc. (collectively, “DeVry University”), with an expected closing date occurring in ~~early fiscal~~mid-fiscal year 2019. In addition, on June 28, 2018, Adtalem signed a definitive agreement to divest U.S. Education Holdings LLC (d/b/a Carrington College (“Carrington”)), with an expected closing date occurring in mid-fiscal year 2019. Accordingly, the results of DeVry University and Carrington are presented as discontinued operations within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Also see “Note 2: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” to the Consolidated Financial Statements ~~in Part I, Item 1,~~ for further discussion.

Following changes in strategic priorities that were implemented in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, Adtalem is reporting its financial performance based on four reporting segments (Medical and Healthcare, Professional Education, Technology and Business, and U.S. Traditional Postsecondary). Prior periods are presented in accordance with these changes. Management has determined that these reporting segments align with Adtalem’s current strategic priorities and resource allocation. Adtalem’s Chief Operating Decision Maker, its President and Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews financial information and evaluates operating and management performance based on these segments. See “Note 15: Segment Information” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, for further discussion.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those that affect Adtalem’s expectations or plans, may constitute ~~“forward-looking statements”~~forward-looking statements subject to the Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties that could affect Adtalem’s results are described throughout this report, including those in ~~Part I, Item 1,~~ “Note ~~14:~~13: Commitments and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Item 1 – Legal Proceedings,” “Item 1A – Risk Factors,” and in Adtalem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 filed with the SEC on August 24, ~~2017,~~2018, including, without limitation, in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” and in the subsections of “Item 1 – Business” entitled “Market Trends and Competition,” “Student Admissions,” “Accreditation,~~” “Tuition and Fees,~~” “Financial Aid and Financing Student Education,” “Legislative and Regulatory Requirements,” “Seasonality” and “Employees.”

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Adtalem’s financial results for the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 reflect a revenue ~~growth~~decline of $9.0 million, or 3.1%, compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by negative foreign exchange impacts in Brazil and the planned shift of an Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (“ACAMS”) conference to the second quarter. This more than offset a revenue increase in the Medical and Healthcare ~~Professional Education and Technology and Business segments. These increases were partially offset by~~segment. On a ~~decrease in~~constant currency basis, revenue in the ~~U.S. Traditional Postsecondary segment (which as of~~quarter increased 1.2% compared to the ~~second quarter of fiscal year 2018 consists of only Carrington College (“Carrington”)). Pre-tax income~~prior year. Income from continuing operations ~~excluding regulatory settlements,~~before restructuring expenses increased ~~9.9%, or $4.9 million,~~ from the year-ago quarter, ~~primarily as a result~~which experienced lower revenue and increased expenses at American University of the ~~increased revenue~~Caribbean School of Medicine (“AUC”) and ~~cost control measures implemented across all Adtalem institutions and home office. Net income~~Ross University School of Medicine (“RUSM”) from hurricane related impacts in ~~the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 includes an increase in income tax expense of $101.2 million related to tax reform legislation signed into law in December~~September 2017. Operational and financial highlights for the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and first six months~~ of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 include:

~~Chamberlain~~Revenue at the medical and veterinary schools (AUC, RUSM and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (“~~Chamberlain”~~RUSVM”)) ~~revenue grew by 1.9%~~increased 14.3% in the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 compared to the year-ago quarter. Excluding the effects of the hurricanes in the year-ago quarter, revenue increased 4.4%. For the ~~November 2017~~September 2018 semester, new and total student enrollment at the medical and veterinary schools increased 9.5% and 2.5%, respectively, compared to the same term last year.

On August 3, 2018, management announced its decision to relocate RUSM’s campus operations to Barbados and not return to Dominica. Beginning with the January 2019 semester, pending final regulatory approval from the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”), RUSM expects to relocate to Barbados from its temporary location in Knoxville, Tennessee and a facility on St. Kitts. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded pre-tax non-cash restructuring charges of $37.8 million related to the impairment of the land, buildings and equipment at the Dominica campus and $1.3 million pre-tax expense for severance related to workforce reductions in Dominica. The land, buildings and equipment in Dominica have been fully impaired as management has determined the market value less the costs to sell the facilities or move the equipment is zero. Adtalem expects to incur additional restructuring charges during the remainder of fiscal year 2019 related to relocation costs that will be recorded as incurred.

For the September 2018 session, new ~~student enrollment increased 5.5%~~ and total student enrollment at Chamberlain University (“Chamberlain”) increased ~~5.1%~~9.5% and 4.1%, respectively, compared to the same term last year. ~~For the January 2018 session, new student enrollment increased 6.9% and total student enrollment increased 5.2%.~~ Chamberlain continues to invest in its programs, student services and campus locations.

HURRICANES

Hurricane Irma

On September 6, 2017, Category 5 Hurricane Irma (“Irma”) caused ~~widespread~~ damage ~~to a large section~~and disrupted operations at AUC. For the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, AUC recorded expense of $1.1 million and $5.0 million, respectively, associated with the evacuation process, temporary housing and transportation of students, faculty and staff, and incremental costs of teaching at alternative sites. Based upon the preliminary damage assessments of the islands of the Caribbean Sea. Irma forced the temporary shut-down of basic science academic instruction of AUC and caused significant damage to AUC’s physical property on the island of St. Maarten.

AUC management determined that repairs to its facilities and the island infrastructure could not be completed in time to teach the September 2017 basic science semester in St. Maarten; thus, an alternative teaching site was identified. AUC contracted with the University of Central Lancashire (“UCLAN”), a public university in Preston, United Kingdom to provide classroom facilities, housing and student support for AUC educational operations. All appropriate accreditation and regulatory approvals to teach in Preston were obtained and on September 29, 2017, AUC students began basic science academic instruction on the UCLAN campus.

Costs and damage repairs are expected to be covered under AUC’s insurance policies, subject to deductibles.~~which were capitalized as of September 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, AUC has received insurance proceeds of ~~$10~~$20 million and in ~~November 2017 and~~October 2018, received a ~~commitment to a partial~~final proof of loss authorizing the final insurance settlement to fully cover the cumulative expense incurred for the evacuation process, temporary housing and transportation of students, faculty and staff, incremental costs of teaching at alternative sites, and cumulative impairment write-downs, less $5.3 million in December 2017, authorizing an additional $10 million partial payment of insurance settlements. As of December 31, 2017, insurance proceeds of $9.8 million were recorded as an offset to the $11.3 million of evacuation expenses and incremental instructional costs incurred, less insurance deductibles of $1.5 million. Expected insurance proceeds of $11.6 million were recorded as income to offset the $15.4 million asset write-downs recorded through December 31, 2017, less insurance deductibles of $3.8 million.deductibles.

The effects of starting the semester late in September 2017 reduced revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 by approximately $3.4 million, of which $2.0 million ~~of which was~~and $1.4 million were recognized in the second ~~quarter~~and third quarters of fiscal year 2018, and $0.7 million, which was lost due to student withdrawals. The remaining $0.7 million will be recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 as AUC completed the September 2017 semester on January 5, 2018. Of the students originally registered for the September 2017 semester, approximately 94% continued the semester in Preston. Management expects that lost fiscal year 2018 revenue for students who decided not to attend AUC as a result of the hurricane will be reimbursable under its insurance policy, subject to deductibles. Beginning with the January 2018 semester, new AUC students, along with students in their second and third semesters will be back on the island of St. Maarten, while those in their fourth and fifth semesters will remain in Preston.

The operating results effect of Irma increased revenue by approximately $2.0 million in the second quarter and decreased revenue by approximately $1.4 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2018, compared to the year-ago periods. Operating expenses were not materially changed in the second quarter and increased by $5.3 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2018 compared to the year-ago periods. Management does not believe at this time that AUC has incurred significant uninsured costs associated with hurricane losses.respectively.

Hurricane Maria

On September 19, 2017, Category 5 Hurricane Maria (“Maria”) caused widespread damage to a large section of the islands of the Caribbean Sea. Maria forced the temporary shut-down of basic science academic instruction of RUSM and caused significant damage to RUSM’s physical property on the island of Dominica. All RUSM facilities on the island suffered some degree of damage and ~~could not sustain educational operations. The island’s infrastructure was severely incapacitated. Adtalem evacuated all students~~disrupted operations at RUSM. For the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and most faculty, and some staff from the island following the storm. RUSM basic science students had completed two weeks of classes in the September 2017 semester before the hurricane struck Dominica. Due to the significant damage on the island, repairs to the island infrastructure could not be completed in time to resume teaching the September 2017 semester in Dominica; thus, an alternative teaching site was identified. RUSM contracted with a cruise ship operator to provide a vessel, which was docked off of the island of St. Kitts and used for classroom facilities and housing for RUSM basic science educational operations. All appropriate accreditation and regulatory approvals to teach on the vessel in St. Kitts were obtained and on October 23, 2017, RUSM basic science students began completion of the September 2017 semester instruction on the ship.

~~As of December 31,~~ 2017, RUSM recorded expense of $5.8 million and $8.5 million, respectively, associated with the evacuation process, temporary housing and transportation of students, faculty and staff, and incremental costs of teaching at alternative sites. Based upon the preliminary damage assessments of the RUSM facilities, impairment write-downs of building, building improvements, furniture and equipment of $5.4 million were recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. No further impairments related to the hurricane were recorded for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. For the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, insurance proceeds of $5.8 million and $5.8 million were recorded as an offset to the evacuation expenses, incremental instructional costs and asset impairment charges. The proceeds recorded in first quarter of ~~$32.7~~fiscal year 2018 were net of insurance deductibles of $8.1 million, which were satisfied in full during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.

As of September 30, 2018, RUSM has recorded cumulative expense of $50.3 million associated with the evacuation process, temporary housing and transportation of students, faculty and staff, and incremental ~~additional~~ costs of teaching ~~on the ship~~at alternative sites, in ~~St. Kitts. Based upon preliminary damage assessments of the RUSM facilities,~~addition to cumulative impairment write-downs of ~~buildings,~~building, building improvements, furniture and equipment of ~~$14.5 million were recorded as of December 31, 2017. Management estimates that total~~$15.7 million.

As of September 30, 2018, RUSM received insurance proceeds of ~~$20~~$50 million and in ~~December 2017 and also~~October 2018, received a ~~commitment to a partial~~final proof of loss ~~in December 2017,~~ authorizing ~~an additional $10 million partial payment of~~the final insurance ~~settlements. As of December 31, 2017, insurance proceeds of $30 million were recorded as an offset~~settlement to fully cover the ~~$32.7 million of evacuation expenses and incremental instructional costs~~cumulative expense incurred less insurance deductibles of $2.7 million. Expected insurance proceeds of $9.2 million were recorded as income to offset the $14.5 million asset write-downs recorded through December 31, 2017, less insurance deductibles of $5.4 million.

The effect of interrupting the September 2017 semester, along with losing some students due to the transition from Dominica to St. Kitts, reduced revenue in the first six months of fiscal year 2018 by approximately $6.8 million. Approximately $4.0 million of this amount is expected to be recognized over the remainder of fiscal year 2018, as the semester was completed on January 5, 2018 and those students who took a leave of absence are expected to return for the ~~January 2018~~evacuation process, temporary housing and ~~May 2018 semesters. Of the~~transportation of students, originally registered for the September 2017 semester, approximately 78% continued the semester in St. Kitts. Of those not continuing the September 2017 semester, approximately 89% returned for the January 2018 semester. Management expects that lost fiscal year 2018 revenue for students who decided not to attend RUSM as a resultfaculty and staff, incremental costs of ~~the hurricane will be reimbursable under its insurance policy, subject to deductibles. Beginning with the January 2018 semester, RUSM students have been temporarily relocated to Knoxville, Tennessee~~teaching at ~~facilities owned by Lincoln Memorial University (“LMU”)~~alternative sites, and to a satellite facility on St. Kitts while the Dominica campus is repaired and rebuilt. Regulatory and accreditor approvals are expected to be finalized following a site visit by the Dominica Medical Board in early February 2018. RUSM is using its own medical sciences curriculum and faculty while making use of the LMU teaching and office facilities, including an anatomy lab.

~~The operating results effect of Maria decreased revenue by approximately $2.8~~cumulative impairment write-downs, less $8.1 million in the second quarter and decreased revenue by approximately $6.8 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2018, compared to the year-ago periods.

Management does not believe ~~at this time~~ that RUSM has incurred significant uninsured costs associated with hurricane losses.

RUSM recorded only two weeks of basic science revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 related to the September 2017 semester. The effects of not teaching the entire month of September 2017, along with losing some students due to the transition to alternative teaching sites, reduced revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 by approximately $4.0 million. Most of this amount was recognized over the remainder of fiscal year 2018.

Management believes ~~its~~Adtalem’s response to the crisis and its ability to continue providing educational services demonstrates RUSM’s ability to generate future revenue and operating results sufficient to maintain fair values of RUSM’s assets in excess of their carrying values.

As described above, on August 3, 2018, management announced its decision to restructure the operations of RUSM and to relocate its campus operations to Barbados. Since the Dominica facilities will no longer be used by RUSM, management evaluated the net realizable value of the land, buildings and equipment, which resulted in a $37.8 million impairment write-down during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

DIVESTITURE OF DEVRY UNIVERSITY

On December 4, 2017, Adtalem, entered into athe Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which Adtalem agreed to sell DeVry University ~~to Cogswell. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Adtalem will sell all of the outstanding equity interests of DeVry University, Inc. and DeVry New York Inc.~~ to Cogswell for de minimis consideration. To support DeVry University’s future success, Adtalem has committed to transferring DeVry University with a minimum working capital balance of $7.5 million ~~subject to increase under certain conditions of up to $20.1 million.~~at the closing date. The Purchase Agreement includes an earn-out entitling Adtalem to payments of up to $20 million paid over a ten-year period based on DeVry University’s free cash flow.

DeVry University is an operating segment and was previously included in ~~the~~our former U.S. Traditional Postsecondary reporting segment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement it will be sold in its entirety. Divesting DeVry University is a strategic shift in the operations of Adtalem. This segment offers principally bachelor’s and master’s degrees in technology and business in the U.S., and Adtalem will be exiting this market with this disposition. Adtalem’s only other operating segment that grants primarily bachelor’s and master’s degrees is Chamberlain, ~~University,~~ and these degrees are in nursing and related medical fields. Selling the DeVry University operating segment will reduce the organization’s dependence on government Title IV funds for its revenue, which is aone of Adtalem’s important strategic imperative. This operating segment is discussed in depth in the business section of the Adtalem Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 and in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) section of all quarterly and annual reports.goals. DeVry University is the legacy business of Adtalem and at one time accounted for the majority of its consolidated revenue and operating income. Disposal of this operating segment will have a significant effect on the operations and financial results of Adtalem. DeVry University employs approximately ~~1,100~~1,400 full-time faculty and staff and requires significant home office administrative support, absorbing approximately 30% of all home office administrative costs.

In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we are classifying the DeVry University entity as “Held for Sale” and “Discontinued ~~Operations” as of December 31, 2017.~~Operations.” As a result, all financial results, disclosures and discussions of continuing operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q exclude DeVry University ~~operations.~~operations, unless otherwise noted.

DIVESTITURE OF CARRINGTON COLLEGE

On June 28, 2018, Adtalem entered into the MIPA, pursuant to which Adtalem agreed to sell Carrington to SJVC for de minimis consideration. To support Carrington’s future success, Adtalem has agreed to make a capital contribution of $11.5 million to Carrington, subject to adjustment based on an agreed working capital balance at the closing date.

Carrington is an operating segment and was previously included in our former U.S. Traditional Postsecondary reporting segment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the MIPA it will be sold in its entirety. Divesting Carrington is a strategic shift in the operations of Adtalem. This segment offers principally career specific certificate or associate degree programs in the U.S., and Adtalem will be exiting this market with this disposition. Selling the Carrington operating segment will reduce the organization’s dependence on government Title IV funds for its revenue, which is one of Adtalem’s important strategic goals. Disposal of this operating segment will have a significant effect on the operations and financial results of Adtalem. Carrington employs approximately 550 full-time faculty and staff and requires home office administrative support, absorbing approximately 5% of all home office administrative costs.

In accordance with GAAP, we are classifying the Carrington entity as “Held for Sale” and “Discontinued Operations.” As a result, all financial results, disclosures and discussions of continuing operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q exclude Carrington operations, unless otherwise noted.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND SUPPLEMENTAL RECONCILIATION SCHEDULE

During the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and first six months~~ of fiscal year ~~2018,~~2019, Adtalem ~~classified the operating results of DeVry University as discontinued operations, and~~ recorded special items related to the following:

Restructuring charges ~~primarily~~ related to ~~reductions~~the closing of the RUSM campus in ~~force (“RIF”)~~Dominica, loss on sale charges at Adtalem Brazil related to the disposition of the Joao Pessoa institution, and real estate consolidations at ~~Carrington and~~ Adtalem’s home office.

~~Income tax charges related to implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.~~

During the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and first six months~~ of fiscal year ~~2017,~~2018, Adtalem recorded special items related to the following:

~~Charges arising from the settlement agreements with the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York (“NYAG”).~~

~~In addition, in accordance with GAAP, the operating results of DeVry University are reclassified as discontinued operations for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2017.~~

The following table illustrates the effects of ~~the~~ discontinued operations and special items on Adtalem’s net ~~income.~~income (loss). Management believes that the non-GAAP disclosure of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share excluding ~~the~~ discontinued operations and special items provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Adtalem’s ongoing operations and is useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations given the nature of discontinued operations and restructuring ~~charges and regulatory settlements.~~charges. Adtalem uses these supplemental financial measures internally in its management and budgeting process. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, Adtalem’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Management expects that for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, revenue will increase 3 to 4 percent compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. Revenue growth within the Medical and Healthcare, Technology and Business, and Professional Education segments is expected to be partially offset by U.S. Traditional Postsecondary continuing revenue declines resulting from the impact of lower total student enrollment.

The Chamberlain campus in Houston, Texas, was placed on conditional status, effective January 19, 2017, by the Texas Board of Nursing (“TBN”), as a result of falling below the state-required first time pass rate on the National Council of Nursing Licensure Exam (“NCLEX”). Conditional status prohibited the campus from admitting new students to its programs. The Houston campus improved its processes and achieved the required pass rate by the September 30, 2017 deadline. In January 2018, the TBN granted full approval status to the Houston campus. The campus is currently admitting new students for the May 2018 session.

Management believes the demand for medical and veterinary education remains strong and can support management’s longer-term ~~growth~~ expectations to grow new enrollments in the low-single digit range; however, heightened competition may adversely affect the medical and veterinary schools’ ability to continue to attract qualified students to its programs.

The medical and veterinary schools’ revenue increased 14.3%, or $11.1 million, to $88.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago quarter. The main driver of this increase was due to the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 experiencing $7.3 million in lost revenue at the medical schools as a result of the hurricanes and resulting forced postponement of the September 2017 semester basic science academic instruction at the medical schools, along with students withdrawing due to these disruptions. Additional drivers of the revenue increase were tuition price increases at the medical schools and RUSVM along with enrollment increases. Management is executing its plan to differentiate the medical and veterinary schools from the competition, with a core goal of increasing international students, and improving the effectiveness of marketing strategies by restructuring the marketing organization, and shifting from traditional media and event-driven marketing to greater use of digital and social media channels to drive awareness throughout the year.

increased competition. Adtalem Brazil students are eligible for loans under Brazil’s FIES public loan program, which is financed by the Brazilian government. ~~Management believes the decrease in new student enrollment in the September 2017 semester is the result of changes in the FIES program.~~ As of ~~June~~September 30, ~~2017,~~2018, approximately ~~26%~~16% of Adtalem Brazil’s degree-seeking students have obtained financing under the FIES program.

The Brazilian government has stated that it is supportive of the FIES program, which is an important factor in helping to increase the number of college graduates. However, the changes enacted in ~~calendar~~fiscal year ~~2015 to the FIES regulations have added restrictions limiting student eligibility for FIES funding and extended the government’s time to pay participating institutions.

Adtalem Brazil institutions have increased efforts to attract more non-FIES students in order to diversify their payer mix. Also, Adtalem Brazil is working with private lenders to increase funding sources for prospective students. Management believes Adtalem Brazil institutions offer programs of study and operate in areas of the country that the Brazilian government favors in issuing FIES loans. Should economic conditions continue to weaken and additional austerity measures be instituted by the Brazilian government, Adtalem Brazil’s ability to grow its student enrollment may be further impacted.

Key trends for Adtalem Brazil are set forth below.

These enrollment figures include students enrolled in degree-granting programs and exclude students enrolled in the test preparation programs at Damásio Educacional (“Damasio”). The November 2017 acquisition of São Judas Tadeu (“SJT”) did not affect the fiscal year 2019 or 2018 enrollment figures because these test preparation students are also excluded from reported enrollment. The increase in new and total student enrollment in the September 2018 term is driven primarily by increases in online enrollment and tuition discounting. This enrollment increase is not driving higher revenue due to deep discounting of the online programs as this business is established.

The Brazilian government recently changed regulations on opening and operating distance learning in the country. The approval process for launching online facilities was streamlined, making this segment more economically attractive to larger institutions.

To improve enrollment results, management has focused on bringing relevant programs at competitive prices to serve areas of the workforce where supply and demand imbalances exist. These strategies resulted in improved new student enrollment in the latest term, reversing the trend of nine quarters of enrollment declines which were the result of changing demand for career education given low unemployment, rising wages and increased competition.

~~Tuition Rates:~~

On a per credit hour basis, tuition for Carrington programs range from $306 per credit hour to $1,684 per credit hour, with the wide range due to the nature of the programs. General education courses are charged at $335 to $371 per credit hour. Total program tuition ranges from approximately $13,000 to $20,000 for most certificate programs and up to approximately $62,000 for a few advanced programs. These amounts do not include the cost of books, fees, supplies, transportation or living expenses.

Also, management is finding ways to be more efficient in marketing and recruiting efforts. The cost reductions were partially offset with cost increases to support growth atChamberlain, ACAMS and Adtalem ~~Brazil.~~Brazil were the main drivers of the increase in costs. Approximately $7.0 million of the increase was due to costs reallocated to continuing operations from DeVry University and Carrington. Student recruiting costs at Adtalem Brazil also increased as more effort to attract students was necessary due to the changes in the FIES program, as described in the earlier discussion on revenue. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets ~~was unchanged~~decreased by 15.5%, or $0.4 million, in the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and decreased by $0.7 million during the first six months~~ of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 compared to the year-ago ~~periods.~~quarter.

Restructuring Expense

During the first three months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to the impairment of the land, buildings and ~~six~~equipment at the Dominica campus of RUSM and severance related to workforce reductions in Dominica. On August 3, 2018, management announced its decision to relocate RUSM’s campus operations to Barbados and not return to Dominica. The land, buildings and equipment in Dominica have been fully impaired as management has determined the market value less the costs to sell the facilities or move the equipment is zero (see “Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, during the first three months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office. During the first three months of fiscal year 2018, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to workforce reductions ~~in force (“RIF”) and real estate consolidations~~ at ~~Carrington and~~ Adtalem’s home office. When estimating costs of exiting lease space, estimates are made which could differ materially from actual results and result in additional restructuring charges or reversals in future periods. Termination benefit charges, as a result of reducing Adtalem’s workforce by 98176 and 7 positions in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year 2019 and 2018, respectively, represented severance pay and benefits for these employees. We also recorded a reduction to restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal year 2018 for an adjustment to previously accrued estimates for real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office. During the first three and six months of fiscal year 2017, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to real estate consolidations at Carrington and Adtalem’s home office. Adtalem’s home office is classified as “Home Office and Other” in ~~Part I, Item 1,~~ “Note ~~15:~~14: Segment Information” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~Regulatory Settlements~~

~~In the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, Adtalem, DeVry University, Inc.~~RUSM to Barbados and DeVry/New York Inc. (collectively, the “Adtalem Parties”) and the FTC agreed to a Stipulation as to Entry of an Order for Permanent Injunction and Monetary Judgment (the “Agreement”) resolving litigation brought by the FTC regarding DeVry University’s use of employment statistics in former advertising. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Adtalem Parties agreed to pay $49.4 million to be distributed at the sole discretion of the FTC, to forgive $30.4 million of institutional loans issued before September 30, 2015, and to forgive outstanding DeVry University accounts receivable balances by $20.2 million for former students. In addition, the Adtalem Parties agreed that Adtalem institutions marketing to U.S. consumers will maintain specific substantiation to support any future advertising regarding graduate outcomes and educational benefits, and will implement training and other agreed-upon compliance measures. Adtalem chose to settle the FTC litigation after filing an answer denying all allegations of wrongdoing.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, Adtalem also recorded charges related to the resolution of an inquiry made by the NYAG to the Adtalem Parties regarding DeVry University’s use of employment and salary statistics in former advertising. The Adtalem Parties chose to resolve the NYAG inquiry by entering into an Assurance of Discontinuance (the “Assurance”) with the NYAG on January 27, 2017, without admitting or denying the allegations therein. Pursuant to the Assurance, the Adtalem Parties agreed to pay $2.25 million for consumer restitution and $0.5 million in penalties, fees and costs. In addition, the Adtalem Parties agreed that Adtalem institutions marketing to New York consumers will maintain specific substantiation and present certain statistics as prescribed to support any future advertising regarding graduate outcomes and educational benefits, and will implement other agreed-upon compliance measures.

Student services and access to federal student loans are not impacted by the Agreement or the Assurance, and at no time has the academic quality of a DeVry University education been questioned. See “Note 3: Regulatory Settlements” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

The regulatory settlements expense of $56.3 million recorded during the first six months of fiscal year 2017 consists of the $49.4 million cash payment to the FTC, the $4.1 million unreserved and expensed institutional loans and the $2.75 million cash payment to the NYAG. Of these regulatory settlement charges, $4.1 million is recorded within discontinued operations and $52.2 million was allocated to the Adtalemrealign home office ~~which is classified as “Home Office and Other” in “Note 15: Segment Information” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.~~

Excluding $2.4 million of restructuring expense, which decreased from $3.7 million in the year-ago period, the segment operating loss was $8.9 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2018 compared to a loss of $4.6 million in the year-ago period. These decreases were the result of a decline in revenue resulting from the impact of lower total student enrollments, partially offset by cost savings.

The effective tax rates on income from continuing operations excluding tax expense related to the Tax Act were 15.6% for the second quarter and 15.0% for the first six months of fiscal year 2018. A tax benefit of $10.1 million was recorded in continuing operations in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, driven primarily from the settlement costs of various regulatory litigation, and generated effective tax rates on income from continuing operations of 362.0% and -7.6% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2017. The effective tax rates on income from continuing operations excluding the settlements were 19.4% and 20.8% for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal year 2017.

The increase in the tax rate from the Tax Act was partially offset by an increase in the percentage of earnings from foreign operations, which are taxed at lower rates than domestic earnings. The provisions from the Tax Act impacting fiscal year 2019 include a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), a deduction for foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”), a limitation of certain executive compensation, and the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction. We have elected to account for GILTI as a period cost. The effective tax rate includes estimates of these new provisions. Our estimates may be revised in future periods as we obtain additional data and any new regulations or guidance is released.

In accordance with this plan, cash held by the subsidiaries in Brazil will not be available for general company purposes, and no foreign or state tax has been recorded on such amount. As of December 31, 2017, the cumulative undistributed earnings attributable to operations in Brazil was approximately $91 million.

Carrington

Revenue at Carrington decreased 12.0%, or $3.9 million, to $28.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago quarter. Revenue decreased as a result of student enrollment declines at Carrington as it repositions itself to stabilize enrollment as well as pricing reductions. Key trends for Carrington are set forth below.

Carrington’s operating loss was $2.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared to an operating loss of $4.1 million in the year-ago quarter. Restructuring expense of $49,000 and $1.3 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and 2018, respectively. ~~In September 2017, DeVry University announced~~Excluding the ~~closure~~restructuring charges, the operating loss was $2.7 million in the first quarter of ~~eight additional campus locations, which management expects will be completed~~fiscal year 2019 compared to an operating loss of $2.9 million in ~~early calendar~~the year-ago quarter.

2019, excluding restructuring charges, decreased by $4.0 million, or 11.4%, compared to the year-ago quarter. This expense reduction at Carrington offset more than 100% of the lower revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. Management continues to adjust costs to better align with current enrollment levels.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Student Payments

Adtalem’s primary source of liquidity is the cash received from payments for student tuition, books, other educational materials and fees. These payments include funds originating as financial aid from various federal and state loan and grant programs, student and family educational loans (“private loans”), employer educational reimbursements and student and family financial resources. Adtalem continues to provide financing options for its students, including Adtalem’s institutional loan programs.

The following table summarizes Adtalem’s cash receipts from tuition and related fee payments by fund source as a percentage of total revenue for fiscal years 2017 and 2016. Final data for fiscal year 2018 is not yet available.

	Fiscal Year						Fiscal Year
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Funding Source:
Federal Assistance (Title IV) Program Funding (Grants and Loans)		53	%		58	%		53	%		58	%
Brazil FIES Public Loan Program		4	%		4	%		4	%		4	%
State Grants		0	%		1	%		0	%		1	%

Total		100	%		100	%		100	%		100	%

The table above includes DeVry University and Carrington revenue. The increase in the “Student accounts, cash payments, private scholarships, employer and military provided tuition assistance and other” Funding Source is the result of management’s efforts to reduce Adtalem’s funding provided by U.S. federal and Brazilian FIES sources.

The pattern of cash receipts during the year is seasonal. Adtalem’s cash collections on accounts receivable ~~balances~~ peak ~~immediately after tuition bills are issued~~at the start of each ~~semester/session.~~institution’s term. Accounts receivable ~~reaches its~~reach their lowest level at the end of each ~~semester/session,~~term, dropping to ~~its~~the lowest point ~~during the year~~ at the end of December.

At December 31, 2017, total accounts receivable, net of related reserves, was $148.6 million compared to $127.9 million at December 31, 2016. The main drivers of the increase were a higher receivable balance at Adtalem Brazil from higher revenue and a reclassification of a long-term FIES receivable of $6.7 million to current accounts receivable. In addition, the student receivable balance at the medical and veterinary schools increased due to hurricane related delays in collections. These increases were partially offset by lower receivable balances at Becker from lower enrollment and revenue.

Adtalem’s consolidated cash balances of ~~$212.2~~$408.8 million at ~~December 31, 2017~~September 30, 2018 included ~~approximately $188.4~~$155.0 million of cash attributable to Adtalem’s international operations. As a result of the Tax Act, Adtalem has revised its intent to indefinitely reinvest accumulated cash balances, future cash flows and post-acquisition undistributed earnings and profits in foreign operations, and only intends to maintain this position with respect to cash balances, cash flows and accumulated and future earnings in Brazil. In accordance with this plan, only cash held by the subsidiaries inof Brazil will not be available for general company purposes. As of ~~December 31, 2017,~~September 30, 2018, the cash balance attributable to operations in Brazil was ~~approximately $67.3~~$74.5 million. Management does not believe this policy will adversely affect Adtalem’s overall liquidity. ~~Should it be necessary to repatriate the international cash balances at Adtalem Brazil to the U.S., the repatriated cash would be subject to taxation at certain state tax rates.~~

Financial Aid

Like other higher education institutions, Adtalem is highly dependent upon the timely receipt of federal financial aid funds. All financial aid and assistance programs are subject to political and governmental budgetary considerations. In the U.S., the Higher Education Act (“HEA”) guides the federal government’s support of postsecondary education. If there are changes to financial aid programs that restrict student eligibility or reduce funding levels, Adtalem’s financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Please see “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in Adtalem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2017~~2018 filed with the SEC on August 24, ~~2017,~~2018, for a discussion of student financial aid related risks. ~~Certain of these risks are updated in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” of this Form 10-Q.~~

In addition, government-funded financial assistance programs are governed by extensive and complex regulations in the U.S. and Brazil. Like any other educational institution, Adtalem’s administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by various regulatory agencies and is subject to audit or investigation by other governmental authorities. Any violation could be the basis for penalties or other disciplinary action, including initiation of a suspension, limitation or termination proceeding. A comprehensive program review of DeVry University was initiated in August 2014 and remains open and ongoing. On January 27, 2016, DeVry University received a preliminary program review report from the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”), which identified findings relating to its fiscal administration, student eligibility and administrative capability and provides DeVry University an opportunity to respond to the preliminary findings. DeVry University provided a comprehensive response to the report on October 11, 2016 disputing most of the findings. The timing or final outcome of the DeVry University program review, or its possible impact on the business, financial condition or results of operations of DeVry University or Adtalem cannot be predicted at this time.

If ED determines that we have failed to demonstrate either financial responsibility or administrative capability in any pending program review, or otherwise determines that an institution has violated the terms of its Program Participation Agreement (“PPA”), we could be subject to sanctions including: fines, penalties, reimbursement for discharged loan obligations, a requirement to post a letter of credit and/or suspension or termination of our eligibility to participate in the Title IV programs.

On October 13, 2016, DeVry University and ED reached a negotiated agreement (the “ED Settlement”) to settle the claims asserted in a Notice of Intent to Limit from the Multi-Regional and Foreign School Participation Division of the Federal Student Aid office of the Department of Education (“ED FSA”). Under the terms of the ED Settlement, among other things, without admitting wrongdoing, DeVry University, agreed to certain compliance requirements regarding its past and future advertising, DeVry University’s participation in the Title IV programs ~~will be~~is subject to provisional certification for five years and DeVry University ~~will be~~is required to post a letter of credit equal to the greater of 10% of DeVry University’s annual Title IV disbursements or $68.4 million for a five-year period. The posted letter of credit, which will continue to be posted by Adtalem following the closing of the sale of DeVry University, reduces Adtalem’s borrowing capacity dollar-for-dollar under its ~~credit facility.~~Credit Facility. Institutions under provisional certification must obtain ED approval before it may award or disburse Title IV funds based on a substantial change, including the establishment of a new location or the addition of an educational program. Provisional certification status also carries fewer due process protections than full certification. As a result, ED may withdraw an institution’s provisional certification more easily than if it is fully certified. Provisional certification does not otherwise limit access to Title IV program funds by students attending the institution.

In September 2017, ED completed the routine process of recertifying and updating the PPAs for all four Carrington College Office of Postsecondary Education Identification (“OPEID”) numbers. The Carrington College California OPEID was placed on a provisional PPA. The reason provided was the high Perkins loan cohort default rate, which was 33%. Because this rate was based on a very small cohort of six students, and Carrington College California is in the process of voluntarily liquidating ~~their~~its Perkins loan portfolio, we requested that ED reconsider the provisional PPA. ED responded by shortening the term of the provisional PPA, with its expiration moved from September 30, 2020 to September 30, 2018.

~~In October 2017, ED approved our request~~ That PPA remains in effect after the expiration date as the recertification application for ~~AUC to maintain Title IV~~Carrington College California was submitted in advance of that date. This recertification application maintains eligibility ~~while temporarily operating its basic science instruction in~~for the ~~United Kingdom (“UK”), following the widespread damage in St. Maarten caused~~OPEID until it is processed by ~~Hurricane Irma. The provisional PPA providing this approval extends to September 30, 2019, encompassing the duration of time we expect to be operating in the UK.~~ED.

In December 2017, ED approved our request for RUSM to maintain Title IV eligibility while temporarily operating its basic science instruction on a cruise ship docked in St. Kitts, following the widespread damage in Dominica caused by Hurricane Maria. The provisional PPA providing this approval extends to September 30, 2019. Beginning with the January 2018 semester, RUSM students ~~will be~~are temporarily relocated to Knoxville, Tennessee at facilities owned by ~~Lincoln Memorial University (“LMU”)~~LMU and to a satellite facility inon St. ~~Kitts while the Dominica campus is assessed for ability for RUSM to return to serving students on the campus.~~Kitts. Regulatory and accreditor approvals, including from ED, ~~are~~were finalized in March 2018. On August 3, 2018, Adtalem announced plans to relocate RUSM to Barbados from its temporary location in Knoxville, Tennessee at facilities owned by LMU and a facility on St. Kitts. The academic facilities will be located in Bridgetown. Student housing will be located close to academic facilities in the parish of Christ Church at an existing housing community that will include amenities, student services and convenient transportation to campus. It is expected ~~to be finalized following a site visit by~~that students will begin the ~~Dominica Medical Board~~January 2019 semester in ~~February 2018.~~Barbados, pending final regulatory approval from ED.

~~Gainful Employment~~ED regulations known as its “gainful employment” regulations (“GE”) ~~regulations~~, which became effective on July 1, ~~2015.~~ 2015, define which private-sector programs prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized profession and are therefore eligible for Title IV funding. ED announced a negotiated rulemaking process on June 16, 2017 to substantially revise the GE regulations and held rulemaking sessions beginning December 2017 through March 2018. Draft regulations rescinding the GE regulations have been published by ED; ED has allowed for a 30-day comment period and must publish final, revised GE rules by November 1, 2018 in order to effect a July 1, 2019 effective date.

Current GE regulations have three components:

Certification: Institutions must certify that each of their GE programs meet applicable state licensure and accreditation requirements and satisfy applicable educational prerequisites for professional licensure and certification.

Accountability Measures: To maintain Title IV eligibility, GE programs must meet minimum standards for limiting the debt burden versus the earnings of their graduates. GE programs will be considered passing, in the zone, or failing for each year in which the accountability measures are calculated, described as follows:

Pass: Programs whose graduates have an assumed annual loan repayment burden of 8% or less of total earnings or 20% or less of discretionary income.

Zone: Programs that are not passing and whose graduates have an assumed annual loan repayment burden greater than 8% and less than or equal to 12% of total earnings or greater than 20% and less than or equal to 30% of discretionary income.

Fail: Programs whose graduates have an assumed annual loan repayment burden greater than 12% of total earnings and greater than 30% of discretionary income.

Programs that fail ~~the requirements of these regulations~~ in two out of any three consecutive years or do not pass in any four consecutive years will be disqualified from participation in the Title IV programs for a period of three years, and an institution is prohibited from establishing Title IV eligibility for any substantially similar program during that period.

Transparency: Institutions are required to make annual public disclosures regarding the performance and outcomes of their GE programs. The disclosures include information regarding program costs, median debt of all graduates and completion and placement rates and may include additional disclosure items in future periods.

~~Approximately 11%~~

The accountability measures typically weigh a calculated debt burden from graduates who completed their studies three and four years prior to the measuring academic year against the mean or median earnings of ~~Adtalem’s~~these graduates during the most recent calendar year prior to the conclusion of the measuring academic year. Thus, for the 2014-2015 academic year (the first measurement year under these regulations), the cohort includes graduates from the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic years and earnings for these graduates from calendar year 2014. ED obtained its graduate earnings data from the Social Security Administration. Debt burdens for students enrolled in programs ~~fell into~~that require an internship or residency prior to licensure, such as the ~~failing category,~~medical doctor degrees offered by AUC and ~~approximately 15%~~RUSM, are calculated from cohorts who completed their studies six and seven years prior to the measuring academic year.

Final accountability measures for the 2014-2015 academic year were released to institutions on January 8, 2017. The table below provides a summary of ~~Adtalem’s programs fell into~~ the ~~zone category, including the RUSVM’s veterinary medicine program.~~percentage of total student enrollment at Adtalem Title IV-participating reporting segments and DeVry University and Carrington as discontinued operations by GE program classification for each of our Title IV-participating reporting segments and discontinued operations, based on student enrollment as of September 30, 2018 (percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding).

Information regarding each of the programs affected by GE based on the 2014-2015 academic year measures, including a summary of adjustments toand initiatives taken for each such program price, or, if appropriate and consistent with programmatic standards, the duration of programs. For programs where such adjustments or initiatives are not feasible, which may include RUSVM’s veterinary medicine program, we may discontinue such programs or direct students to third-party lenders for financial support of student tuition and other expenses. These adjustments or initiatives, or any requirement to issue warnings to enrolled and prospective students, could have a significant impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and result in the imposition of significant restrictions on us and our ability to operate. is set forth below:

Management expects RUSVM will continue to be in the zone for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic years ~~as well as, if potential initiatives to improve graduate gainful employment outcomes are not executable, are not executed or are unsuccessful,~~under the ~~2017-2018 academic year.~~current GE structure. This is possible notwithstanding strong student outcomes and very low Cohort Default Rates for RUSVM graduates (0.7% ~~as of September 30, 2013,~~for fiscal year 2015, the latest 3-year cohort period for which official data is available). In March 2017, ED delayed implementation of some portions of the GE reporting regulations until July 1, 2017. While the delay does not affect RUSVM’s status, ED indicated in the delay announcement that its action was taken to allow ED to further review the GE regulations and their implementation. On June 16, 2017, ED then announced its intention to re-negotiate these rules. The timing and effective date of any future final regulations cannot be determined at this time. If the GE regulations and guidance are not changed prior to 2019 and RUSVM’s veterinary program is determined by ED to be in the zone for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic years, RUSVM would be required to issue warnings to students as early as 2019 that Title IV funding may no longer be available to students attending RUSVM. ~~Further, if~~Management may seek to reduce RUSVM student indebtedness for the 2017-2018 academic year to avoid a zone determination for that academic year in the event a favorable outcome from the current rulemaking process is not anticipated. If the GE rule is unchanged and RUSVM’s veterinary program is determined to be in the zone for the 2017-2018 academic year, RUSVM students would no longer have access to Title IV student aid as early as the beginning of 2020, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. On August 18, 2017, ED announced new deadlines for submitting notices of intent to file GE alternate earnings appeals and submitting those appeals. A notice of intent to file an appeal was submitted for RUSVM in advance of the October 6, 2017 deadline. RUSVM’s appeal was filed on February 1, 2018.

An ED regulation known as the “90/10 Rule” affects only proprietary postsecondary institutions, such as Chamberlain, AUC, RUSM, RUSVM, ~~Carrington~~DeVry University and ~~DeVry University.~~Carrington. Under this regulation, an institution that derives more than 90% of its revenue on a cash basis from Title IV student financial assistance programs in two consecutive fiscal years loses eligibility to participate in these programs for at least two fiscal years. The following table details the percentage of revenue on a cash basis from federal financial assistance programs (excluding the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and military tuition assistance benefits) for each of Adtalem’s Title IV-eligible institutions for fiscal years 2017 and 2016. Final data for fiscal year 2018 is not yet available.

In September 2016, Adtalem committed to voluntarily limit to 85% the amount of revenue that each of its six Title IV-eligible institutions derive from federal funding, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and military tuition assistance benefits. As disclosed in the third party review report that has been made publicly available, ~~its~~Adtalem’s institutions have met this lower threshold for fiscal year 2017. Final data for fiscal year 2018 is not yet available. Adtalem is committed to implementing measures to promote responsible recruitment and enrollment, successful student outcomes, and informed student choice. Management believes students deserve greater transparency to make informed choices about their education. This commitment builds upon a solid foundation and brings Adtalem to a new self-imposed level of public accountability and transparency.

Under the terms of Adtalem institutions’ participation in financial aid programs, certain cash received from state governments and ED is maintained in restricted bank accounts. Adtalem receives these funds either after the financial aid authorization and disbursement process for the benefit of the student is completed, or just prior to that authorization. Once the authorization and disbursement process for a particular student is completed, the funds may be transferred to unrestricted accounts and become available for Adtalem to use in operations. This process generally occurs during the academic term for which such funds have been authorized. Cash in the amount of ~~$0.6~~$0.9 million, ~~$4.8~~$0.3 million and ~~$5.6~~$1.6 million was held in restricted bank accounts at ~~December 31, 2017,~~September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, ~~and December 31, 2016,~~ respectively.

A financial responsibility test is required for continued participation by an institution’s students in U.S. federal financial assistance programs. For Adtalem’s participating institutions this test is calculated at the consolidated Adtalem level. The test is based upon a composite score of three ratios: an equity ratio that measures the institution’s capital resources; a primary reserve ratio that measures an institution’s ability to fund its operations from current resources; and a net income ratio that measures an institution’s ability to operate profitably. A minimum score of 1.5 is necessary to meet ED’s financial standards. Institutions with scores of less than 1.5 but greater than or equal to 1.0 are considered financially responsible, but require additional oversight. These schools are subject to heightened cash monitoring and other participation requirements. An institution with a score of less than 1.0 is considered not financially responsible. However, a school with a score of less than 1.0 may continue to participate in the Title IV programs under provisional certification. In addition, this lower score typically requires that the school be subject to heightened cash monitoring requirements and post a letter of credit (equal to a minimum of 10% of the Title IV aid it received in the institution's most recent fiscal year).

For the past several years, Adtalem’s composite score has exceeded the required minimum of 1.5. If Adtalem becomes unable to meet requisite financial responsibility standards or otherwise demonstrate, within the regulations, its ability to continue to provide educational services, then Adtalem could be subject to heightened cash monitoring or be required to post a letter of credit to enable its students to continue to participate in federal financial assistance programs.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash generated from continuing operations in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 was ~~$42.9~~$73.7 million compared to ~~$36.4~~$81.3 million in the year-ago period. Net (loss) income from continuing operations decreased by ~~$66.3~~$30.4 million in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 compared to the year-ago period. The increase in non-cash items of $31.4 million in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 compared to the year-ago period was the result of the following:

An increase of ~~$25.8~~$27.5 million in depreciation and write-offs of building, building improvements, leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment. This was primarily the result of recording ~~a $29.9~~$37.8 million in impairment ~~charge~~write-downs of land, buildings and equipment at RUSM’s Dominica campus in the first three months of fiscal year 2019, compared to $10.9 million in impairment write-downs of building, building improvements, furniture and equipment at AUC and RUSM from damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria ~~respectively,~~ in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year 2018. ~~These charges were partially offset by $0.8~~

A decrease of $0.4 million in amortization expense of intangible assets.

~~A change~~An increase of ~~$9.5~~$6.4 million in the deferred income tax provision related to the timing of deductions.

Changes in Assets and Liabilities from June 30, ~~2017~~2018 consisted of the following:

The ~~increase~~decrease in cash flows in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 due to changes in combined net prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable was ~~$71.0~~$2.9 million ~~more~~less than the combined ~~change~~decrease in the year-ago period driven by a ~~$101.2~~receipt of $10 million ~~accrual for income taxes related to implementation~~in insurance proceeds in the first quarter of ~~the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

The ~~decrease~~increase in cash flows in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 in combined accounts receivable (excluding the provisions for ~~refunds and uncollectible accounts)~~bad debts) and deferred revenue was ~~$13.4~~$11.4 million ~~more~~less than the combined change in the year-ago period. The main drivers of this change ~~were~~was a higher receivable balance ~~at Adtalem Brazil from a $6.7 million additional reclassification of long-term FIES receivable to current accounts receivable and an increase in student receivable balances~~ at the medical and veterinary schools due to ~~hurricane-related delays in collections and~~the timing of financial aid ~~processing.~~receipts, and higher student receivable balances at Chamberlain due to higher enrollment.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Capital expenditures in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 were ~~$32.6~~$15.2 million compared to ~~$18.8~~$11.8 million in the year-ago period. The increase in capital expenditures reflects ~~increased investments at Adtalem Brazil and Chamberlain,~~spending for relocating RUSM’s campus from Dominica to Barbados, in addition to ~~$2.6~~$6.5 million in hurricane-related spending to repair the AUC and RUSM campuses.

Capital spending for the remainder of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 will support continued investment at ~~RUSVM, a~~RUSM’s new Barbados campus, ~~opening~~new campus development at Chamberlain and moderate facility improvements ~~for Chamberlain, and facility improvements for~~at Adtalem Brazil. ~~Significant capital spending will also be necessary to repair and replace hurricane damaged facilities and equipment at AUC and RUSM.~~ Management anticipates full fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 capital ~~spending, excluding hurricane-related~~ spending to be in the ~~$60~~$70 to ~~$65~~$75 million ~~range.~~range, including approximately $25 to $30 million for the relocation of RUSM to Barbados.

~~Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities~~Consolidated Financial Statements).

Historically, Adtalem has produced positive ~~domestic~~ cash flows from operating activities sufficient to fund the delivery of its ~~domestic~~ educational programs and services as well as to fund capital investment and ~~other activities including~~ share repurchases and dividend payments. In addition, Adtalem maintains a $400 million revolving line of credit which can be expanded to $550 million subject to bank approval. For the first six months of fiscal year 2018, cash flows from domestic operating activities, including DeVry University, were approximately $64.2 million, which, along with $165 million borrowed under the revolving credit facility, were sufficient to fund $35.1 million of domestic capital investment, including DeVry University, and repurchase $93.2 million in common stock.repurchases. As a result of the Tax Act, Adtalem has revised its intent to indefinitely reinvest accumulated cash balances, future cash flows and post-acquisition undistributed earnings and profits in foreign operations, and only intends to maintain this position with respect to cash balances, cash flows and accumulated and future earnings in Brazil. In accordance with this plan, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, cash held by all foreign subsidiaries except those in Brazil ~~will be~~is available for general company purposes.

The cash held in Brazil along with future cash flows from operating activities is sufficient to fund the Adtalem has recorded liabilities for deferred purchase price agreements with sellers related to the acquisitions of Faculdade Diferencial Integral (“Facid”), Faculdade Ideal (“Faci”), Damasio, Grupo Ibmec, Facimp and SJT. This financing is in the form of holdbacks of a portion of the purchase price of these acquisitions or installment payments. Payments are made under these agreements based on payment schedules or the resolution of any pre-acquisition contingencies.Brazil operations.

Management believes current balances of unrestricted cash, cash generated from operations and the ~~revolving credit facility~~Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund both Adtalem’s current domestic and international operations, growth plans and current share repurchase program for the foreseeable future unless significant investment opportunities should arise.

~~Revolving Credit Facility~~

Adtalem entered into a revolving credit facility on March 31, 2015 which expires on March 31, 2020. The revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) provides for a multi-currency revolving credit facility in the amount of $400 million (the “Aggregate Commitment”) with availability in currencies other than U.S. dollars of up to $200 million. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Aggregate Commitment may be increased up to $550 million. On October 4, 2016, Adtalem entered into a First Amendment to Credit Agreement, which amends the Aggregate Commitment to increase the amount available for letters of credit from $50 million to $100 million. Adtalem may select interest rates for borrowings under the Credit Agreement equal to LIBOR or a LIBOR-equivalent rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans or a base rate, plus an applicable rate based on Adtalem’s consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The applicable rate ranges from 2% to 3% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and from 1% to 2% for Base Rate Loans. As of December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, Adtalem borrowings under this agreement were $165 million, $125 million and $225 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.42%, 3.18% and 2.73%, respectively. There are no required principal payments under the Credit Agreement and all borrowings and letters of credit mature on March 31, 2020. As a result of the agreement extending beyond one year, the borrowings are classified as long-term with the exception of amounts expected to be repaid in the 12 months subsequent to the balance sheet date, if any. Adtalem letters of credit outstanding under this agreement were $68.5 million as of each of December 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Of this amount, $68.4 million was posted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 in relation to the ED Settlement (see “Note: 3 Regulatory Settlements”). Upon the close of the sale of DeVry University (see “Note 2: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale”), Adtalem will continue to post this letter of credit on behalf of DeVry University. As of December 31, 2017, Adtalem is charged an annual fee equal to 2.0% of the undrawn face amount of the outstanding letters of credit under the agreement, payable quarterly. The agreement also requires payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.35% of the undrawn portion of the credit facility as of December 31, 2017. The interest rate, letter of credit fees and commitment fees are adjustable quarterly, based upon Adtalem’s achievement of certain financial ratios.

~~The stock of all U.S. and certain foreign subsidiaries of Adtalem is pledged as collateral for the borrowings under the revolving credit facility.~~

Other Contractual Arrangements

Adtalem’s long-term contractual obligations consist of its ~~$400~~$600 million ~~revolving line of credit~~Credit Facility (discussed ~~above)~~in “Note 12: Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements), operating leases on facilities and equipment and agreements for various services. In addition, Adtalem has recorded liabilities for deferred purchase price agreements with sellers related to acquisitions at Adtalem Brazil (discussed above).

On December 4, 2017, Adtalem, entered into a ~~Stock~~ Purchase Agreement, ~~(the “Purchase Agreement”),~~ pursuant to which Adtalem agreed to sell DeVry University to ~~Cogswell Education, LLC (“Cogswell”).~~Cogswell. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Adtalem will sell all of the outstanding equity interests of DeVry University, Inc. and ~~DeVry~~ DeVry/New York Inc. to Cogswell for de minimis consideration. To support DeVry University’s future success, Adtalem has committed to transferring DeVry University with a minimum working capital balance of $7.5 million ~~subject to increase under certain conditions of up to $20.1 million.~~at the closing date. The Purchase Agreement includes an earn-out entitling Adtalem to payments of up to $20 million ~~paid~~payable over a ten-year period based on DeVry University’s free cash flow. This sale is expected to be completed in ~~early fiscal~~mid-fiscal year 2019.

On June 28, 2018, Adtalem entered into a MIPA, pursuant to which Adtalem agreed to sell U.S. Education Holdings LLC (d/b/a Carrington College) to SJVC. Subject to the terms and conditions of the MIPA, Adtalem will sell all of the outstanding equity interests of U.S. Education Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries for de minimis consideration. To support Carrington’s future success, Adtalem has agreed to make a capital contribution of $11.5 million to Carrington, subject to adjustment based on an agreed working capital balance at the closing date. This sale is expected to be completed in mid-fiscal year 2019.

In fiscal year 2018, Adtalem recorded a ~~provisional~~ liability of $96.3 million for the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, pursuant to the Tax ~~Cuts~~Act. This amount was reduced to $14.4 million after utilization of current and ~~Jobs Act of 2017. This amount~~prior year tax losses, and is payable over eight ~~years, with the~~years. The first installment ~~of $7.7 million~~would have been due on September 15, ~~2018. “Note 12: Income Taxes”~~2018; however, no payments will be required until fiscal year 2021 as we utilize tax credits to offset the ~~Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q.~~liability.

Adtalem is not a party to any off-balance sheet financing or contingent payment arrangements, nor are there any unconsolidated subsidiaries. Adtalem has not extended any loans to any officer, director or other affiliated person. Adtalem has not entered into any synthetic leases, and there are no residual purchase or value commitments related to any facility lease. Adtalem did not enter into any derivatives, swaps, futures contracts, calls, hedges or non-exchange traded contracts during the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018.~~2019. Adtalem had no open derivative positions at ~~December 31, 2017.~~

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see “Note 4:3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial ~~Statements in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.~~Statements.

ITEM 3– — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Adtalem is not dependent upon the price levels, nor affected by fluctuations in pricing, of any particular commodity or group of commodities. However, more than 50% of Adtalem’s costs are in the form of wages and benefits. Changes in employment market conditions or escalations in employee benefit costs could cause Adtalem to experience cost increases at levels beyond what it has historically experienced.

The financial position and results of operations of AUC, RUSM and RUSVM Caribbean operations are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Substantially all of these financial transactions are denominated in the U.S. dollar.

The financial position and results of operations of Adtalem Brazil operations are measured using the Brazilian Real as the functional currency. Adtalem Brazil has not entered into any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services, other than the lease agreements on teaching facilities and contingencies relating to prior acquisitions. Currently, Adtalem does not have any foreign exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments designed to mitigate changes in the value of the Brazilian Real. Brazilian-based assets constitute ~~27.6%~~22.4% of Adtalem’s overall assets, and its Brazilian liabilities constitute ~~9.2%~~6.5% of overall liabilities. The value of the Brazilian Real has been volatile in relation to the U.S. dollar over the past several years. ~~Over~~The value averaged about 20% lower in the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018,~~2019 compared to the ~~value has remained fairly steady.~~first three months of fiscal year 2018. Based upon the current value of the net assets in Adtalem Brazil’s operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the ~~Brazilian Real~~U.S. dollar relative to the ~~U.S. dollar~~Brazilian Real results in a translation adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of approximately ~~$18.1~~$16.4 million. For the first ~~six~~three months of fiscal year ~~2018,~~2019, the ~~higher~~lower value of the Brazilian Real also resulted in ~~higher~~lower U.S. translated revenue and operating income compared to the year-ago period.

The interest rate on Adtalem’s ~~revolving credit facility~~Credit Facility is based upon LIBOR or a LIBOR-equivalent rate for Eurocurrency Rate Loans or a base rate for periods typically ranging from one to three months. ~~At December 31, 2017,~~As of September 30, 2018, Adtalem had ~~$165~~$299.3 million in outstanding borrowings under ~~this facility~~the Term B Loan with a weighted average interest rate of ~~3.42%~~5.24%. Based upon borrowings of ~~$165~~$299.3 million, a 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would result in ~~$1.65~~$3.0 million of additional annual interest expense.

Adtalem’s customers are principally individual students enrolled in its various educational programs. Accordingly, concentration of accounts receivable credit risk is small relative to total revenue and accounts receivable. However, ~~as discussed in “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the subsection “Liquidity and Capital Resources” of this Form 10-Q,~~ the Adtalem Brazil FIES accounts receivable balance has remained elevated for the past several years due to changes in government funding of the program. As of ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the FIES accounts receivable balance ~~is $28.2~~was $22.8 million, compared to $38.0 million at December 31, 2016. The FIES funding for calendar year 2015 accounts for $16.1 million of the total outstanding FIES balance. In January 2016, Adtalem Brazil entered into a repayment agreement with the Brazilian government pursuant to which these 2015 funds will be paid in annual installments over three years. The first and second installments of $7.2$35.9 million and ~~$6.8~~$40.8 million, ~~were received by Adtalem Brazil on July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2017,~~ respectively.

Adtalem’s cash is held in accounts at various large, financially secure depository institutions. Although the amount on deposit at a given institution typically will exceed amounts subject to guarantee, Adtalem has not experienced any deposit losses to date, nor does management expect to incur such losses in the future.

The required compliance certificates signed by Adtalem’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are included as Exhibits 31 and 32 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to help ensure that all the information required to be disclosed in Adtalem’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the applicable rules and forms.

Adtalem’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Adtalem’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Adtalem files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Adtalem’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first ~~six months~~quarter of fiscal year ~~2018~~2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Adtalem’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a discussion of legal proceedings, see “Note ~~14:~~13: Commitments and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q.~~10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, ~~and the update to the risk factors described below,~~ the factors discussed in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in Adtalem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, ~~2017,~~2018, which could materially affect Adtalem’s business, financial condition or future results, should be carefully considered. Such risks are not the only risks facing Adtalem. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Adtalem or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.

~~A delayed or unsuccessful sale of DeVry University could~~ There have abeen no material ~~adverse effect~~changes to Adtalem’s risk factors since its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~stock valuation of Adtalem or may impact the growth prospects or financial resources of Adtalem.~~

Adtalem has entered into a binding stock purchase agreement to sell DeVry University to Cogswell Education, LLC (“Cogswell”) (the “Transaction”). Adtalem’s transfer of ownership to Cogswell is subject to numerous closing conditions, including approvals of regulators and accrediting bodies. Additionally, Cogswell is not required to close the Transaction in certain circumstances, including in the event that DeVry University’s enrollment declines below a certain threshold, in the event that claims of former DeVry University students under ED’s Borrower Defense to Repayment process exceed a certain threshold, or DeVry University’s regional accreditor fails or declines to take action to approve the Transaction prior tofiscal year ended June 30, 2018. ~~If the Transaction is not completed, the valuation of Adtalem common stock may materially and adversely decline.~~

In addition, the separation of DeVry University from Adtalem is a substantial undertaking that will require, among other things, hiring colleagues and contracting for services for DeVry University in replacement of previously shared resources prior to closing the Transaction. In the event that the transaction is delayed, the expenses of the separation, including additional personnel costs, may materially increase, which could materially impact Adtalem’s available cash.

~~Proposed changes in, or lapses of, U.S. tax laws regarding earnings from international operations could adversely affect our financial results.~~

Our effective tax rate could be subject to volatility or be adversely impacted by changes to federal tax laws governing the taxation of foreign earnings of U.S. based companies. For example, as a consequence of the newly enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), foreign earnings are now deemed to be repatriated resulting in a higher effective tax rate for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. In addition, recent changes to U.S. tax laws will significantly impact how U.S. multinational corporations are taxed on foreign earnings. Numerous countries are evaluating their existing tax laws due in part, to recommendations made by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD’s”) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project. To address the impact of the recent U.S. tax law changes, we recorded a provisional tax amount of $96.3 million for the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, payable over eight years; $2.5 million to record the impact of the reduction in tax rates on our net deferred tax asset position; and $2.7 million for state income and foreign withholding taxes on undistributed foreign earnings that are no longer intended to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. The provisional tax amounts recorded are based on our reasonable estimate until we fully complete our assessment and we may need additional information to complete our assessment. We are still evaluating the tax provisions related to Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) and we have not made a policy election on how to account for the GILTI provisions of the Tax Act as allowed by the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Our selection of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. In addition, the recent U.S. tax law changes are subject to further interpretations from the U.S. federal and state governments and regulatory organizations, such as Treasury Department and/or IRS and this could change the provisional tax liability or the accounting treatment of the provisional tax liability based on updated guidance and interpretations. A significant portion of the additional provisions for income taxes we have made due to the enactment of the Tax Act is payable by us over a period of up to eight years. As result, our cash flows from operating activities will be adversely impacted until the additional tax provisions are paid in full. In addition, Adtalem has benefitted from the ability to enter into international intercompany arrangements without incurring U.S. taxation due to a law, which expires in fiscal year 2020, deferring U.S. taxation of “foreign personal holding company income” such as foreign income from dividends, interest, rents and royalties. If this law is not extended, or a similar law adopted, our consolidated tax provision would be impacted beginning in our fiscal year 2021, and we may not be able to allocate international capital optimally without realizing U.S. income taxes, which would increase our effective income tax rate and adversely impact our earnings and cash flows.

~~Our goodwill and intangible assets could potentially be impaired if our business results and financial condition were materially and adversely impacted by risks and uncertainties.~~

Adtalem’s market capitalization can be affected by, among other things, changes in industry or market conditions, changes in results of operations and changes in forecasts or market expectations related to future results. If Adtalem’s market capitalization remains below its carrying value for a sustained period of time or if such a decline becomes indicative that the fair values of the Adtalem reporting units have declined below their carrying values, an impairment test may result in a non-cash impairment charge. At December 31, 2017, intangible assets from business combinations totaled $407.0 million and goodwill totaled $832.9 million. Together, these assets equaled approximately 56% of total assets as of such date. If Adtalem’s business results and financial condition were materially and adversely impacted, then such intangible assets and goodwill could be impaired, requiring possible write-off of up to $407.0 million of intangible assets and up to $832.9 million of goodwill.
