Ashish Ghia: As expected, revenue for the quarter was lower by 19.8 million dollars, which was mostly offset with 17.7 million dollars of lower expenses. This expected decrease in revenue was primarily due to the prior year operational changes at AI system, as well as changes being made within our professional development offerings at CTO. Operating expenses during the second quarter were lower within marketing, admissions, and bad debt, as well as lower legal expenses related to the borough defense to repayment applications. Additionally, we also realized cost savings from right-sizing processes and operations that support our professional development offerings at CTO, as we focus on delivering academic programs more effectively and efficiently, and investing in student processes that we believe will further enhance the overall value proposition of our academic institutions.

Second quarter revenue of $166.7 million decreased 10.6 percent as compared to $186.6 million in the prior year quarter.

A note on student enrollments: total student enrollments at CTU increased by 14.7 percent as of June 30, as compared to the prior year quarter end, driven by a positive timing impact from year-to-date enrollment date comparability versus prior year, as well as growth in our corporate engagement programs. Please note, ignoring this positive impact from the year-to-date enrollment date comparability, we believe total enrollment as of June 30 would still show growth for CTU. At AIU system, total student enrollments at June 30 as expected were lower by 18.2 percent versus the prior year quarter end.

Ashish Ghia: Now to our segment results. Second quarter revenue at CTU decreased by 5.4 percent to $112.8 million, primarily due to changes within our professional development offerings. Revenue days were also lower for CTU's degree programs; however, growth in corporate engagements and high levels of student retention engagement mostly helped offset the impact from lower revenue days.

Lower expenses within admissions and marketing, as well as right sizing of the cost structure to align with the simplified professional development offerings, more than offset the decline in revenue. At AIU system, second quarter revenue was $53.7 million or $19.9 percent lower than the prior year quarter, which was in line with our expectations due to the continuing lag impact from the operational changes we discussed last year.

Ashish R. Ghia: Now to our segment results.

Ashish R. Ghia: Second quarter revenue at CTU decreased by 5.4% to $112.8 million, primarily due to changes within our professional development offerings.

Ashish R. Ghia: Revenue days were also lower for CTU's degree programs, however growth in corporate engagements and high levels of student retention and engagement mostly helped offset the impact from lower revenue days.

Ashish R. Ghia: Operating income was $42.9 million for the quarter as compared to $40.5 million.

Ashish R. Ghia: Lower expenses within admissions and marketing as well as right sizing of the cost structure to align with the simplified professional development offerings more than offset the decline in revenue.

Ashish R. Ghia: At AIU System, second quarter revenue was $53.7 million, or 19.9% lower than the prior year quarter, which was in line with our expectations due to the continuing lag impact from the operational changes we discussed last year. Operating income was $12.9 million versus $17.1 million in the prior year quarter, as the revenue decline was only partially offset by lower operating expenses. Please note that some of this expense or expense favorability will reverse in the second half if the AI system maintains normalized operation.

Please note that some of this expense favoritivity will reverse in the second half as AIU system maintains normalized operations. Moving on to corporate and other, the operating loss for the second quarter was $9.8 million as compared to $9.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily due to cost associated with M&A activity, partially offset by lower legal fees associated with the borrower defense to repayment applications.

Ashish R. Ghia: The increase was primarily due to costs associated with M&A activity, partially offset by lower legal fees associated with the Borrower Defense to Repayment applications.

Ashish Ghia: Now to income taxes. For the second quarter, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $14.6 million, which reflects accruals for the federal and state corporate net income tax, resulting in an effective tax rate of $23.5 million. The effective tax rate for the quarter reflects favorable discrete items related to the tax effect of stock-based compensation and the release of previously recorded tax results, as well as the tax effect of certain MNA expenses, which are considered non-deductible for tax purposes. As a result, we now expect our full year 2024 effective tax rate to be between 26.5% and 27.5%.

Ashish Ghia: Now to our balance sheet and liquidity. For the year-to-date and the June 30, 2024, net cash flows from operations were 93 million dollars versus 66.2 million dollars in the prior year-to-date. The increase in year-to-date cash flows from operations was primarily driven by timing differences between the cash inflows related to our academic session start dates as compared to revenue earned from those sessions. We ended the quarter with $675.2 million of cash. Cash equivalents, restricted cash, in available for sales, short-term investments. This represents an increase of approximately $71 million since the end of last year. Through the year-to-date ended June 30, we have returned $21.4 million of cash to our shareholders in the form of dividend payments and share purchases and paid approximately $25 million in estimated federal and state income taxes.

Pradocio is expected to pay approximately $142 million to $144 million in net cash at the time of closing for 100 percent ownership, which includes an estimate for cash, debt, and working capital based on the closing balance sheet. Note that the deal has been negotiated on a debt-free, cash-free basis, and the net cash payment at closing could vary from the power range based on actual working capital adjobs. As Todd mentioned, we expect the acquisition to be immediately accrued to an adjusted operating income, beginning 2025.

Ashish Ghia: This outlook reflects our current beliefs that high levels of student retention and engagement we experience over the past few quarters, partly supported by the positive impact from various federal student aid initiatives, will continue to proceed so the remainder of 2024. Full year revenue at CTO is expected to be lower than 2023, primarily due to simplification of our professional development offerings. Full year 2024 revenue dates for CTO's degree programs will be lower as compared to the prior year. However, growth in our corporate engagement programs in high levels of student retention and engagement is expected to more than offset the impact from lower revenue dates and also support total enrollment growth for year end 2024.
