Carrington

 

On September 18, 2008, DeVry Inc. acquired the operations of U.S. Education, the parent organization of Apollo College and Western Career College, for $290 million. On July 1, 2010, Apollo College changed its name to Carrington College and Western Career College changed its name to Carrington College of California. Collectively these institutions are now referred to as Carrington. Including working capital adjustments and direct costs of acquisition, total consideration paid was approximately $303 million in cash. The results of Carrington's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements of DeVry since that date. The total consideration was comprised of approximately $137 million of internal cash resources, approximately $120 million of borrowings under DeVry's existing credit facility and approximately $46 million of borrowings against its outstanding auction rate securities. The operating results of Carrington have been included in the DeVry consolidated operating results since the date of acquisition.

 

Carrington prepares students for careers in healthcare through certificate, associate and bachelor's degree programs in such rapidly growing fields as nursing, ultrasound and radiography technology, surgical technology, veterinary technology, pharmacy technology, dental hygiene, and medical and dental assisting. The two colleges operate 19 campus locations in the western United States. The addition of Carrington has further diversified DeVry's curricula.

Goodwill was all assigned to the Carrington reporting unit which is classified within the Medical and Healthcare segment. Approximately $57 million of the goodwill acquired is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Of the $128.6 million of acquired intangible assets, $112.3 million was assigned to the value of the Carrington Title IV Eligibility and Accreditations which have been determined to not be subject to amortization. The remaining acquired intangible assets have all been determined to be subject to amortization and their values and estimated useful lives are as follows (dollars in thousands):

DeVry Brasil

 

On April 1, 2009, DeVry Inc. acquired 82.3 percent of the outstanding stock of Fanor Faculdades Nordeste S/A ("Fanor"), a leading provider of private postsecondary education in northeastern Brazil for $40.8 million in cash, including costs of acquisition. Funding was provided from DeVry's existing operating cash balances. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Fanor parent organization began using the name DeVry Brasil. The results of DeVry Brasil's operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements of DeVry since the date of acquisition. The current management of DeVry Brasil retained the remaining 17.7 percent ownership interest, as of June 30, 2009. In July 2009, DeVry increased its ownership percentage in DeVry Brasil to 83.5 percent through the infusion of an additional $2.5 million in capital. Beginning January 2013, DeVry has the right to exercise a call option and purchase any remaining DeVry Brasil stock from DeVry Brasil management. Likewise, DeVry Brasil management has the right to exercise a put option and sell its remaining ownership interest in DeVry Brasil to DeVry. These options may become exercisable prior to January 2013 if DeVry Brasil's management ownership interest falls below five percent. Since the put option is out of the control of DeVry, authoritative guidance requires the non-controlling interest, which includes the value of the put option, to be displayed outside of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The DeVry Brasil management put option, which is not currently redeemable but is probable of becoming redeemable, is being accreted to its expected redemption value according to a fair market value formula contained in the stock purchase agreement. The adjustment to increase or decrease the put option to its expected redemption value each reporting period is recorded to retained earnings in accordance with the authoritative guidance. This adjustment has resulted in a $3.1 million increase in the non-controlling interest balance and a corresponding decrease to retained earnings as of June 30, 2011. The adjustment to increase or decrease the DeVry Brasil non-controlling interest each reporting period for its proportionate share of DeVry Brasil's profit/loss will continue to flow through the consolidated income statement based on DeVry's historical non-controlling interest accounting policy.

 

Based in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, DeVry Brasil is comprised of three colleges: Fanor, Ruy Barbosa, and ÁREA1. These institutions operate five campus locations in the cities of Salvador and Fortaleza, and serve more than 11,000 students through undergraduate and graduate programs focused in business management, law and engineering. This acquisition has further diversified DeVry's curricula and expanded its geographic presence.
