Property, equipment and facilities are recorded at cost, with depreciation expense included in our educational services and facilities and selling, general and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The increase in property, equipment and facilities was driven by several factors, including a $46.0 million investment relating to the build-out of the new campuses (Nashville, Tennessee; Levittown, Pennsylvania; Houston, Texas and Hicksville, New York); $6.4 million in new and expanded programs at various campuses; and $16.8 million of facilities upgrades including security and branding, with the remainder focusing on training materials and equipment. Depreciation and amortization expense of property, equipment and facilities was $5.5 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and $13.9 million and $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which includes amortization of finance leases of $0.4 million for the three-months periods and $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the nine-month periods, respectively.
