CAREER EDUCATION CORPORATION REPORTS

RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2012

Company announces campus closures and workforce reductions to align with new long-term strategy.

Schaumburg, Ill. (November 8, 2012) – Career Education Corporation (NASDAQ: CECO) today reported total revenue of $332.8 million, and a net loss of $33.1 million, or -$0.50 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2012 compared to total revenue of $428.4 million and net income of $10.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2011.

“We are taking the difficult step of closing campuses and reducing our workforce because these measures are essential to advancing the turnaround of Career Education,” Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Steven H. Lesnik said. “To move forward successfully, we must align the organization to the new market realities in private postsecondary education.”

“As we rationally reduce the size and scope of the organization, we are ultimately positioning the Company to execute and embark upon our long-term strategic direction. Our strategy envisions a simplified and more nimble organization, fewer ground campuses, more differentiated brands serving distinct student populations and the leading student-centric, personalized learning technology in higher education. I am confident that this is the right strategic course for the Company and will ensure a leaner, stronger Career Education that continues to provide access to high-quality, career-focused postsecondary education long into the future.”

CAMPUS CLOSURES AND WORKFORCE REDUCTIONS

A key component to the Company’s long-term strategy is to invest in a smaller number of institutions that have the strongest likelihood of delivering strong student outcomes, operational efficiency and strength in their market. As a result, the decision was made to close twenty-three campuses. These campuses are expected to contribute approximately $124.3 million of revenue and approximately $62.0 million of operating loss for the year ending December 31, 2012. The campuses will remain open to offer current students the ability to complete their course of study. The majority of these campuses are expected to cease operations no later than the first quarter of 2014. Along with these closures, the Company made the decision to eliminate approximately 900 positions across the organization as it reorganizes its campus and corporate functions to better align with the current student population and common operating structures across our ground campuses, most notably within our Career Schools. The position eliminations are expected to be completed by January 2013, with annual savings estimated at $45-$55 million. The fourth quarter operating results will include a pretax severance charge of approximately $7.0 million as a result of this decision.

(1) The Company believes it is useful to present non-GAAP financial measures which exclude certain significant items as a means to understand the performance of its core business. As a general matter, the Company uses non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP to help analyze the performance of its core business, assist with preparing the annual operating plan, and measure performance for some forms of compensation. In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze the Company’s historical results and to provide estimates of future performance and that failure to report non-GAAP measures could result in a misplaced perception that the Company’s results have underperformed or exceeded expectations.

Non-GAAP financial measures when viewed in a reconciliation to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides an additional way of viewing the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding financial results presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

(2) (Loss) earnings per diluted share is based on (loss) income from continuing operations and assumes a 35% tax rate for each deductible item.

Year to date ended September 30, 2011 includes a $2.7 million non-cash impairment charge primarily related to accreditation rights.

 

(4) Year to date ended September 30, 2012 primarily includes non-cash asset impairment charges of $1.2 million associated with the decision to teach out three Health Education campuses ($1.1) and one AIU campus ($0.1).

 

(5) Year to dated ended September 30, 2012 includes a $19.0 million insurance recovery related to the settlement of claims under certain insurance policies. Year to date ended September 30, 2011 includes a $7.0 million insurance recovery related to previously settled legal matters.
