NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

September 30, 2024 and 2023
(Dollars in thousands)

 

Note 1 - Nature of Business

Nature of Business

The University of St. Augustine Parent Corp. (the “Parent”), and its wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries University of St. Augustine Intermediate Corp., University of St. Augustine Acquisition Corp., and University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences, LLC (“USA”), collectively referred to hereafter as the “Company”, is a for-profit, campus-based institution, offering traditional and flexible graduate and doctoral degree programs in physical and occupational therapy, nursing, speech language pathology, and health sciences. In addition, the Company conducts continuing education seminars in related fields throughout the United States, along with offering non-degree online courses. The Company's campus-based institutions are in California, Florida and Texas. USAHS is institutionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (“WASC”) Senior College and University Commission and maintains programmatic accreditation with the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education, the Accreditation on Speech Language Pathology, the Accreditation on Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, and the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent, and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of University of St. Augustine Intermediate Corp., University of St. Augustine Acquisition Corp. and USA. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require that public business entities on an annual basis 1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and 2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments require disclosure about income taxes paid by federal, state, and foreign taxes, and by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid is equal or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid. The amendment also requires entities to disclose income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. For all public business entities, ASU 2023-09 is effective for

 


 

 

 

annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and believe the adoption will not significantly impact the presentation of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and disclosures.

Construction Financing

Upon construction commencement of its new St. Augustine campus in April 2023, the Company determined that it was the deemed owner for accounting purposes during the construction period under a build to suit arrangement due to the extent of the Company’s involvement in the project. Accordingly, the Company has recognized all cash and non-cash assets contributed by the landlord for the duration of the project as a component of construction in progress with a corresponding construction financing liability. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has recognized $42,774 in construction contributions made by the landlord as a construction financing on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 6 - Leases

The Company conducts a significant portion of its operations at leased facilities and analyzes each new lease agreement to determine whether it should be classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. The terms of our leases vary and generally contain renewal options. Certain of these leases provide for increasing rent over the term of the lease.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our variable lease payments consist of non-lease services related to the lease. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Many of our lessee agreements include options to extend the lease, which we do not include in our minimum lease terms unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. On occasion, the Company has entered into sublease agreements for certain leased office space; however, the sublease income from these agreements is immaterial.

Note 7 - Income Taxes

The determination of the annual effective tax rate is based upon several significant estimates and judgments, including the estimated annual pretax income in each tax jurisdiction in which we operate and the ongoing development of tax planning strategies during the year. In addition, our provision for income taxes can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.

The following is a summary of our provision for income taxes and effective tax rate:

As a result of the trade name and goodwill impairment discussed in Note 10, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $62,818 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Additionally, the Company

 


 

 

 

recorded a $37,090 increase to its deferred tax asset and a reduction of $25,728 to its deferred tax liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 10 - Subsequent Events

On July 15, 2024, Perdoceo Education Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Perdoceo”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Lighthouse Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Perdoceo (“Merger Sub”), the Company, and APH GP LP, an Ontario limited partnership, solely in its capacity as seller representative, providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Perdoceo, all subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

The acquisition was completed on December 2, 2024 and on the closing date of the merger, Perdoceo made an initial cash payment of $137.8 million. The final purchase price will depend on adjustments for cash, debt and working capital based on the final closing balance sheet to be finalized within 90 days of the closing date.

Based upon the $92,691 estimated net asset value of the Company as defined in the Merger Agreement, it was determined that an impairment indicator for the Company’s trade name and goodwill exists. As a result, the Company performed an impairment test and recognized a $88,327 and $153,285 impairment charge to its trade name and goodwill, respectively, in its condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
