Adtalem Global Education Announces Fiscal Second Quarter 2022 Results
Revises full-year guidance driven by the pending sale of Financial Services segment and continued near-term COVID headwinds
CHICAGO – Feb. 8, 2022 – Adtalem Global Education Inc. (NYSE: ATGE), a leading healthcare educator, today reported academic, operating, and financial results for its fiscal 2022 second quarter ended Dec. 31, 2021. The second quarter results reflect the Financial Services segment in discontinued operations because of the recently announced pending divestiture.
“I’m encouraged by the tremendous progress we’ve made to reposition Adtalem as the leading provider of healthcare education. The recent announcement of the pending sale of our Financial Services segment is the culmination of a long-term strategy to sharpen the focus of our portfolio and greatly enhance our ability to address – at scale – the rapidly growing and unmet demand for healthcare professionals in the U.S.,” said Steve Beard, president and CEO of Adtalem Global Education. “Despite the continued near-term headwinds from the pandemic disproportionally impacting our post licensure nursing programs, we believe our strategic focus, significant scale, and the synergies of the recent Walden acquisition leave us uniquely well positioned to be the leader in helping employers across the healthcare industry meet their critical workforce talent needs. As a result, we are more excited than ever about the opportunities ahead.”

Segment Highlights
Chamberlain
Second quarter segment revenue decreased 2.0% to $139.1 million compared with the prior year, and segment operating income declined 21.6% to $25.5 million due primarily to increased marketing expense and higher costs associated with a return to in-person campus instruction.
New and total student enrollment in the November session decreased 0.5% and 2.1%, respectively, compared with the same session last year. The decrease in new student enrollment was primarily attributable to COVID-related headwinds in Chamberlain’s post-licensure programs.
Walden
Revenue in the second quarter was $140.6 million. Segment operating loss was $2.4 million, driven primarily by intangible amortization expense. Segment operating income, excluding special items, was $32.4 million. With the acquisition closing on August 12, 2021, there are no prior year comparables.
New and total student enrollment in the December session decreased 18.3% and 9.1%, respectively, compared with the prior year. The decrease in new student enrollment was primarily attributable to COVID-related headwinds in Walden’s post-licensure nursing programs.
Medical and Veterinary
Revenue in the second quarter decreased 1.0% to $91.5 million compared with the prior year, while segment operating income increased 3.8% to $19.5 million primarily driven by lower expenses.
Adtalem Outlook
For the full fiscal year 2022, Adtalem revised its guidance of adjusted revenue, excluding special items, to be within the range of $1,350 million and $1,390 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $2.90 to $3.10 from continuing operations, excluding special items, based on the key factors below:
- | Pending sale of Financial Services segment thereby moving it to discontinued operations |
- | Impact of COVID-related headwinds associated with the Omicron variant that has further burdened healthcare professionals, which continues to negatively impact enrollments |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Adtalem’s ongoing operations and are useful for period-over-period comparisons. We use these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally in our assessment of performance and budgeting process. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following are non-GAAP financial measures used in the subsequent GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables:
Net income from continuing operations excluding special items (most comparable GAAP measure: net income (loss) attributable to Adtalem) – Measure of Adtalem’s net income (loss) attributable to Adtalem adjusted for deferred revenue adjustment, CEO transition costs, restructuring expense, business acquisition and integration expense, Walden intangible amortization expense, pre-acquisition interest expense, and loss from discontinued operations.
Earnings per share from continuing operations excluding special items (most comparable GAAP measure: earnings (loss) per share) – Measure of Adtalem’s diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusted for deferred revenue adjustment, CEO transition costs, restructuring expense, business acquisition and integration expense, Walden intangible amortization expense, pre-acquisition interest expense, and loss from discontinued operations.
Operating income excluding special items (most comparable GAAP measure: operating income) – Measure of Adtalem’s operating income adjusted for deferred revenue adjustment, CEO transition costs, restructuring expense, business acquisition and integration expense, and Walden intangible amortization expense. This measure is applied on a consolidated and segment basis, depending on the context of the discussion.
Free cash flow (most comparable GAAP measure: net cash (used in) provided by operating activities-continuing operations ) – Defined as net cash (used in) provided by operating activities-continuing operations less capital expenditures.
A description of special items in our non-GAAP financial measures described above are as follows:
• | Deferred revenue adjustment related to a revenue purchase accounting adjustment to record Walden’s deferred revenue at fair value. |
• | CEO transition costs related to acceleration of stock-based compensation expense. |
• | Restructuring expense primarily related to plans to achieve synergies with the Walden acquisition and real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office. |
• | Business acquisition and integration expense include expenses related to the Walden acquisition. |
• | Walden amortization expense on acquired intangible assets. |
• | Pre-acquisition interest expense related to financing arrangements in connection with the Walden acquisition. |
• | Loss from discontinued operations attributable to Adtalem includes the operations of ACAMS, Becker, OCL, and EduPristine, in addition to costs related to DeVry University. |
