Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested information or advise us as soon as possible when you will respond. If you do not believe a comment applies to your facts and circumstances, please tell us why in your response. After reviewing your response to this letter, we may have additional comments. Form 8-K filed May 6, 2024 Exhibit 99.1 - Press Release issued by Lincoln Educational Services Corporation dated May 6, 2024 First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights, page 1 1. We note you present the non-GAAP measure adjusted EBITDA within the bullet points for first quarter 2024 financial highlights. When presenting a non-GAAP measure, please also present the most directly comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence. Refer to Question 102.10 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures, page 6 2. We note your Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income non-GAAP measures include an adjustment of $450,000 which appears to represent the non-cash rent expense resulting from the free rent period at your Nashville, Tennessee property. This adjustment appears to have the effect of reversing some of the accounting effects of the sale and lease-back transaction. Please tell us whether you consider this adjustment an individually July 18, 2024 Page 2 tailored accounting principle, and if so, please modify your future disclosure accordingly. Refer to Question 100.04 of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations. We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
