Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For purposes of this report, “Adtalem,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar references refers to Adtalem Global Education Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. The interim Consolidated Financial Statements include accounts of Adtalem and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Adtalem’s wholly-owned subsidiaries include:

Chamberlain University (“Chamberlain”)

American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (“AUC”)

Ross University School of Medicine (“RUSM”)

Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (“RUSVM”)

Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (“ACAMS”)

Becker Professional Education (“Becker”)

In addition, Adtalem maintains a 97.9% ownership interest in Adtalem Education of Brazil (“Adtalem Brazil”) and a 69% ownership interest in EduPristine.

On December 4, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of its previously wholly-owned subsidiary Carrington College (“Carrington”). On December 11, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of its previously wholly-owned subsidiary DeVry University. Carrington and DeVry University are presented as discontinued operations. See “Note 2: Discontinued Operations” for additional details.

These financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of Adtalem. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

The interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in Adtalem's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and Adtalem’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

NOTE 2: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 4, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of Carrington to San Joaquin Valley College, Inc. (“SJVC”) for de minimis consideration. Adtalem has retained certain leases associated with the Carrington operations. Adtalem remains the primary lessee on these leases and subleases to Carrington. Adtalem records the proceeds from these subleases as an offset to operating costs. Adtalem also assigned certain leases to Carrington but remains contingently liable under these leases. Adtalem recorded a pre-tax loss of $11.1 million on the sale of Carrington and transferred $9.9 million of cash and restricted cash balances in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, subject to post-closing adjustments to be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.

On December 11, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of DeVry University to Cogswell Education, LLC (“Cogswell”) for de minimis consideration. The purchase agreement includes an earn-out entitling Adtalem to payments of up to $20 million over a ten-year period payable based on DeVry University’s free cash flow. In connection with the closing of the sale, Adtalem loaned to DeVry University $10 million under the terms of the promissory note, dated as of December 11, 2018 (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable annually in arrears and has a maturity date of January 1, 2022. DeVry University may make prepayments on the loan. This loan is presented as Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Adtalem has retained certain leases associated with DeVry University operations. Adtalem remains the primary lessee on these leases and subleases to DeVry University. In addition, Adtalem owns the buildings for certain DeVry University operating and administrative office locations and leases space to DeVry University under one-year operating leases, renewable annually at DeVry University’s option. Adtalem records the proceeds from these leases and subleases as an offset to operating costs. Adtalem also assigned certain leases to DeVry University but remains contingently liable under these leases. Adtalem recorded a pre-tax loss of $21.7 million on the sale of DeVry University and transferred $39.0 million of cash and restricted cash balances in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, subject to post-closing adjustments to be completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.

NOTE 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Adtalem and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership interest is less than 100%, but greater than 50%, the noncontrolling ownership interest is reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The noncontrolling ownership interest earnings portion is classified as “Net Loss (Income) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest” in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Unless indicated, or the context requires otherwise, references to years refer to Adtalem’s fiscal years.

Equity/Cost Method Investment

The equity method of accounting is used for an investment where we have the ability to influence the operating and financial decisions of the investee but do not possess more than a 50% ownership interest. Generally, this occurs when the ownership interest is greater than 20%. The investment is initially recorded at cost and classified as Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted in subsequent periods for Adtalem’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee, which is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as Equity Method Investment Loss.

The cost method of accounting is used for an investment where we do not have the ability to influence the operating and financial decisions of the investee. Generally, this occurs when the ownership interest is less than 20%. The investment is recorded at cost and classified as Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents can include time deposits, high-grade commercial paper, money market funds and bankers acceptances with original maturities of three months or less. Short-term investment objectives are to minimize risk and maintain liquidity. These investments are stated at cost (which approximates fair value) because of their short duration or liquid nature. Adtalem places its cash and temporary cash investments with high credit quality institutions. Cash and cash equivalent balances in U.S. bank accounts are generally in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit. Cash and cash equivalent balances in Brazilian bank accounts are generally in excess of the deposit insurance limits for Brazilian banks. Adtalem has not experienced any losses on its cash and cash equivalents.

Management periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of the security issuers and financial institutions with which it invests and maintains deposit accounts.

Financial Aid and Restricted Cash

A significant portion of cash is received from students who participate in government financial aid and assistance programs which are subject to political and governmental budgetary considerations. There is no assurance that such funding will be maintained at current levels. Extensive and complex regulations in the U.S. and Brazil govern all of the government financial assistance programs in which students participate. Administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by various regulatory agencies. Any regulatory violation could be the basis for disciplinary action, which could include the suspension, limitation or termination from such financial aid programs.

Restricted cash represents amounts received from federal and state governments under various student aid grant and loan programs and such restricted funds are held in separate bank accounts. Once the financial aid authorization and disbursement process for the student has been completed, the funds are transferred to unrestricted accounts, and these funds then become available for use in Adtalem’s operations. This authorization and disbursement process that precedes the transfer of funds generally occurs within the period of the academic term for which such funds were authorized.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers (students), in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The following tables disaggregate revenue by source (in thousands):

In addition, see “Note 14: Segment Information” for a disaggregation of revenue by geographical region.

Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognition

Higher Education: Higher education revenue consists of tuition, fees, books and other educational products. The majority of revenue is derived from tuition and fees, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term as instruction is delivered. Books and other educational product revenue is recognized when products are shipped or students receive access to electronic materials. Under certain circumstances, we report revenue from these transactions on a net basis because our performance obligation is to facilitate a transaction between the student and a vendor.

Test Preparation: Test preparation revenue consists of test preparation course instruction and self-study materials sales. Becker test preparation revenue is recognized when access to the course materials is delivered to the customer. Adtalem Brazil and EduPristine test preparation course instruction revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable instruction delivery periods.

Certifications: Certification revenue consists of exam preparation guides, seminars, exam sitting fees and recertification fees. We recognize revenue for each of these items at a point in time when the applicable performance obligation is satisfied.

Conferences/Seminars: Conference revenue consists of revenue from attendees, sponsors and exhibitors. We recognize revenue for all items related to conferences at the time of the conference. Seminar revenue consists of seminars delivered in live, live-online, or on-demand online formats. We recognize revenue for live and live-online seminars on the day of the seminar. On-demand online seminars, in which customers have access to a webcast of a seminar, are recognized on the day the customer places the order.

Memberships/Subscriptions: Membership revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the membership period. Subscription revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the subscription period.

Other: Other revenue consists of housing and other miscellaneous services. Other revenue is recognized over the period in which the applicable performance obligation is satisfied.

Customer contracts generally have separately stated prices for each performance obligation contained in the contract. Therefore, each performance obligation generally has its own standalone selling price. For higher education students, arrangements for payment are agreed to prior to registration of the student’s first academic term. The majority of U.S. students obtain Title IV or other financial aid resulting in institutions receiving a significant amount of the transaction price at the beginning of the academic term. Students utilizing private funding or funding through Adtalem’s institutional loan program (see “Note 6: Financing Receivables” for further discussion) generally pay during or after the academic term is complete. For non-higher education customers, payment is typically due and collected at the time a customer places an order.

Transaction Price

Revenue, or transaction price, is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services.

For higher education, students may receive discounts, scholarships or refunds, which gives rise to variable consideration. The amounts of discounts or scholarships are applied to individual student accounts when such amounts are awarded. Therefore, the transaction price is reduced directly by these discounts or scholarships from the amount of the standard tuition rate charged. Upon withdrawal, a student may be eligible to receive a refund, or partial refund, the amount of which is dependent on the timing of the withdrawal during the academic term. If a student withdraws prior to completing an academic term, federal and state regulations and accreditation criteria permit Adtalem to retain only a set percentage of the total tuition received from such student, which varies with, but generally equals or exceeds, the percentage of the academic term completed by such student. Payment amounts received by Adtalem in excess of such set percentages of tuition are refunded to the student or the appropriate funding source. For contracts with similar characteristics and historical data on refunds, the expected value method is applied in determining the variable consideration related to refunds. Estimates of Adtalem’s expected refunds are determined at the outset of each academic term, based upon actual refunds in previous academic terms. Reserves related to refunds are presented as refund liabilities within Accrued Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All refunds are netted against revenue during the applicable academic term.

Management reassesses collectability throughout the period revenue is recognized by the Adtalem institutions, on a student-by-student basis. This reassessment is based upon new information and changes in facts and circumstances relevant to a student’s ability to pay. Management also reassesses collectability when a student withdraws from the institution and has unpaid tuition charges. Such unpaid charges do not meet the threshold of reasonably collectible and are recognized as revenue on a cash basis.

For test preparation and other Professional Education products, the transaction price is equal to the amount charged to the customer, which is the standard rate, less any discounts and an estimate for returns or refunds.

We believe it is not probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Therefore, the estimate of variable consideration is not constrained.

Contract Balances

For higher education institutions, students are billed at the beginning of each academic term and payment is due at that time. Adtalem’s performance obligation is to provide educational services in the form of instruction during the academic term. As instruction is provided, deferred revenue is reduced. A significant portion of student payments are from Title IV financial aid and other programs and are generally received during the first month of the respective academic term. For students utilizing Adtalem’s institutional loan program (see “Note 6: Financing Receivables”), payments are generally received after the academic term, and the corresponding performance obligation, is complete. When payments are received, accounts receivable is reduced.

For our Professional Education businesses, customers are billed and payment is due at the time of order placement. In most cases, performance obligations are delivered subsequent to payments received. Delivering our performance obligations reduces deferred revenue, and accounts receivable is reduced upon payments received. Becker offers an 18-month term loan program as a financing option for the Becker CPA Exam Review Course (see “Note 6: Financing Receivables”). In this case, payment is received after satisfying the performance obligation.

Revenue of $100.5 million was recognized during the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of fiscal year 2019. Revenue recognized from performance obligations that were satisfied, or partially satisfied, in prior periods was not material.

The difference between the opening and closing balances of deferred revenue includes decreases from revenue recognized during the period and increases from charges and payments received related to the start of academic terms beginning during the period.

Allowance for bad debts as of March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 was $20.0 million, $27.6 million and $28.4 million, respectively.

Practical Expedients

As our performance obligations have an original expected duration of one year or less, we have applied the practical expedient (as provided in ASC 606-10-50-14) to not disclose the information in ASC 606-10-50-13, which requires disclosure of the amount of the transaction price allocated to our performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) as of the end of the reporting period and when the entity expects to recognize this amount as revenue. All consideration from contracts with customers is included in the transaction price.

Internal-Use Software Development Costs

Adtalem capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs that are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the software, not to exceed seven years. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of equipment, materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the internal-use software development project. Capitalization of such costs ceases at the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Capitalized internal-use software development costs for projects not yet complete are included as Construction in Progress in the Land, Building and Equipment section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the net balance of capitalized internal-use software development costs was $11.2 million, $13.5 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Adtalem evaluates the carrying amount of its significant long-lived assets whenever changes in circumstances or events indicate that the value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Events that may trigger an impairment analysis could include a decision by management to exit a market or a line of business or to consolidate operating locations. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded impairment charges of $2.0 million to write-down building, building improvements, furniture and equipment to zero based on the fair market value of the DeVry University and Carrington operations, which are classified within discontinued operations. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the campuses of AUC and RUSM were damaged from Hurricanes Irma and Maria, respectively. Hurricane-related impairment charges of $29.9 million were recorded in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 for building, building improvements, furniture and equipment, along with receivables for insurance reimbursements of these amounts, less deductibles, of $20.8 million as of March 31, 2018. The impairment charges are included in Cost of Educational Services in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem announced its decision to relocate RUSM’s campus operations to Barbados and not return to RUSM’s Dominica campus. Adtalem recorded impairment charges of $39.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 to fully impair the land, buildings and equipment in Dominica as management has determined the market value less the costs to sell the facilities or move the equipment is zero (see “Note 10: Restructuring Charges”). The impairment charges are included in Restructuring Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). For a discussion of the impairment review of goodwill and intangible assets see “Note 9: Intangible Assets.”

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and results of operations of the AUC, RUSM and RUSVM Caribbean operations are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. As such, there is no translation gain or loss associated with these operations. Adtalem Brazil’s and EduPristine’s operations and Becker’s and ACAMS’s international operations are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these entities are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. Income and expense items are translated at monthly average exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are included in the component of Shareholders’ Equity designated as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss. Transaction gains or losses during each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were not material.

Noncontrolling Interest

Adtalem currently maintains a 97.9% ownership interest in Adtalem Brazil with the remaining 2.1% owned by members of the current Adtalem Brazil senior management group. In addition, Adtalem currently maintains a 69% ownership interest in EduPristine with the remaining 31% owned by Kaizen Management Advisors (“Kaizen”), an India-based private equity firm. The adjustment to increase or decrease the Adtalem Brazil and EduPristine noncontrolling interests for their respective proportionate shares of Adtalem Brazil’s and EduPristine’s profit (loss) flows through the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) each reporting period based on Adtalem’s noncontrolling interest accounting policy.

Since July 1, 2015, Adtalem has had the right to exercise a call option and purchase any remaining Adtalem Brazil stock from Adtalem Brazil management. Likewise, Adtalem Brazil management has had the right to exercise a put option and sell its remaining ownership interest in Adtalem Brazil to Adtalem.

Beginning on March 26, 2020, Adtalem will have the right to exercise a call option and purchase any remaining EduPristine stock from Kaizen. Likewise, Kaizen will have the right to exercise a put option and sell up to 33% of its remaining ownership interest in EduPristine to Adtalem. Beginning on March 26, 2022, Kaizen will have the right to exercise a put option and sell its remaining ownership interest in EduPristine to Adtalem.

Since the put options are out of the control of Adtalem, authoritative guidance requires the noncontrolling interests, which includes the value of the put options, to be displayed outside of the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Adtalem Brazil management and Kaizen put options are being accreted to their respective redemption values in accordance with the terms of the related stock purchase agreements. The adjustments to increase or decrease the put options to their expected redemption values each reporting period are recorded in retained earnings in accordance with GAAP.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to Adtalem by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus unvested participating restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to Adtalem by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Diluted shares are computed using the Treasury Stock Method and reflect the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive stock-based grants were exercised during the period. Excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share were outstanding stock-based grants representing 194,000 and 223,000 shares of common stock for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and 294,000 and 1,273,000 shares of common stock for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. These outstanding stock-based grants were excluded because the exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares or the assumed proceeds upon exercise under the Treasury Stock Method resulted in the repurchase of more shares than would be issued; thus, their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of basic shares to diluted shares (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018		2019		2018

Diluted Shares		58,802		61,965		60,004		62,474

Treasury Stock

Adtalem’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized share repurchase programs on eleven occasions (see “Note 7: Share Repurchase Programs”). The tenth share repurchase program was approved on February 16, 2017 and commenced in February 2017. The eleventh share repurchase program was approved on November 7, 2018 and commenced in January 2019. Shares that are repurchased by Adtalem are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.

From time to time, shares of our common stock are delivered back to Adtalem under a swap arrangement resulting from employees’ exercise of incentive stock options pursuant to the terms of the Adtalem Stock Incentive Plans (see “Note 4: Stock-Based Compensation”). In addition, shares of our common stock are delivered back to Adtalem for payment of withholding taxes from employees for vesting RSUs. These shares are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.

Prior to March 2019, treasury shares were reissued on a monthly basis, at market value, less a five percent discount, to the Adtalem Colleague Stock Purchase Plan in exchange for employee payroll deductions. When treasury shares are reissued, Adtalem uses an average cost method to reduce the Treasury Stock balance. Gains on the difference between the average cost and the reissuance price are credited to Additional Paid-in Capital. Losses on the difference are charged to Additional Paid-in Capital to the extent that previous net gains from reissuance are included therein, otherwise such losses are charged to Retained Earnings.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenue and expense reported during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss is composed of the change in cumulative translation adjustment, primarily at Adtalem Brazil, and unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of the effects of income taxes.

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss balance as of March 31, 2019, consists of $148.8 million of cumulative translation losses ($145.4 million attributable to Adtalem and $3.4 million attributable to noncontrolling interest) and unrealized gains on available-for-sale debt securities were immaterial. As of June 30, 2018, this balance consisted of $142.6 million of cumulative translation losses ($139.6 million attributable to Adtalem and $3.0 million attributable to noncontrolling interest) and $0.4 million of unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.1 million and all attributable to Adtalem. As of March 31, 2018, this balance consisted of $59.5 million of cumulative translation losses ($58.2 million attributable to Adtalem and $1.3 million attributable to noncontrolling interest) and $0.3 million of unrealized gains on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.2 million and all attributable to Adtalem.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are recognized as expense in the period in which materials are purchased or services are performed. Advertising expense, which is included in Student Services and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), was $21.7 million and $61.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and $22.1 million and $59.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

Hurricane Expense

In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused damage and disrupted operations at AUC and RUSM. Adtalem recorded expenses of $12.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 associated with incremental costs of teaching at alternative sites, and $11.1 million and $55.1 million in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, associated with the evacuation process, temporary housing and transportation of students, faculty and staff, and incremental additional costs of teaching in alternate locations. No hurricane related costs were recorded in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019. Insurance proceeds of $12.5 million were recorded in the nine months ended March 31, 2019, and insurance receivables of $20.8 million were recorded in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 to offset these expenses. Based upon damage assessments of the AUC and RUSM facilities, impairment write-downs of buildings, building improvements, furniture and equipment of $29.9 million were recorded in the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Insurance receivables of $20.8 million were recorded to offset these expenses in the nine months ended March 31, 2018. No further asset impairments were recorded in fiscal year 2019. In total, no net expense related to the hurricanes was recorded in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019. In total, no net expense was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $13.4 million of net expense was recorded in Cost of Educational Services in the Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss) for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The expense primarily represented the deductibles under insurance policies. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem received the final insurance proceeds related to Hurricanes Irma and Maria and recorded a pre-tax gain of $15.6 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

Restructuring Charges

Adtalem’s financial statements include charges related to severance and related benefits for workforce reductions in staff. These charges also include early lease termination or cease-of-use costs, accelerated depreciation and losses on disposals of property and equipment related to campus and administrative office consolidations (see “Note 10: Restructuring Charges”). When estimating the costs of exiting lease space, estimates are made which could differ materially from actual results and result in additional restructuring charges or reversals in future periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13: “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance was issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected losses on financial instruments by replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses by requiring a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02: “Leases (Topic 842).” This guidance was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing right-to-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adtalem will implement this guidance effective July 1, 2019. Management is evaluating the impact the guidance will have on Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements and believes the adoption will impact the Consolidated Balance Sheet with significant increases in assets and liabilities.

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01: “Financial Instruments–Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This guidance was issued to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The guidance eliminates the classification of equity securities into different categories (that is, trading or available-for-sale) and requires equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, we retrospectively adopted this guidance. The adoption resulted in a cumulative adjustment to decrease retained earnings and increase additional paid-in capital, each by $0.4 million. This guidance requires Adtalem to record the changes in the fair value of its available-for-sale equity investments through net income, which is included within the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09: “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This guidance was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this guidance effective July 1, 2018 using the full retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements, and therefore, no adjustments were made to the prior year comparative financial statements. See subsection “Revenue Recognition” in “Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for the disclosures related to this new accounting standard.

Reclassifications

Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, Carrington operations were classified as discontinued operations. See “Note 2: Discontinued Operations” for further information. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to the current classification. Certain expenses in prior periods previously allocated to Carrington within the U.S. Traditional Postsecondary segment have been reclassified to the Home Office and Other segment based on discontinued operation reporting guidance regarding allocation of corporate overhead. See “Note 14: Segment Information” for additional information.

In addition, we have reclassified certain amounts in the operating section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to conform to current period classification.

NOTE 4: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Adtalem maintains two stock-based incentive plans: the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2005 and the Fourth Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2013. Under these plans, directors, key executives and managerial employees are eligible to receive incentive stock or nonqualified options to purchase shares of Adtalem’s common stock. The Fourth Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2013 and the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2005 also permit the granting of stock appreciation rights, RSUs, performance-based RSUs and other stock and cash-based compensation. Although options remain outstanding under the 2005 incentive plan, no further stock-based grants will be issued under this plan. The Fourth Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2013 and the Amended and Restated Incentive Plan of 2005 are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Options are granted for terms of up to ten years and can vest immediately or over periods of up to five years. The requisite service period is equal to the vesting period. The option price under the plans is the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.

Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Adtalem accounts for stock-based compensation granted to retirement eligible employees that fully vests upon an employee’s retirement under the non-substantive vesting period approach. Under this approach, the entire stock-based compensation expense is recognized at the grant date for stock-based grants issued to retirement eligible employees. For non-retirement eligible employees, stock-based compensation expense is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period. We account for forfeitures of outstanding but unvested grants in the period they occur.

As of March 31, 2019, 7,131,350 authorized but unissued shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under Adtalem’s stock-based incentive plans.

The following is a summary of options activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2019:

						Weighted
				Weighted		Average		Aggregate
				Average		Remaining		Intrinsic
	Number of			Exercise		Contractual		Value
	Options			Price		Life (in Years)		(in thousands)
Outstanding at July 1, 2018		1,806,133		$	32.88
Granted		129,025			49.01
Exercised		(405,810	)		42.75
Forfeited		-			-
Expired		(19,429	)		51.65
Outstanding at March 31, 2019		1,509,919			31.37		6.89	$	23,301
Exercisable at March 31, 2019		592,407		$	31.60		5.09	$	9,103

The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $4.2 million and $10.7 million, respectively.

The fair value of Adtalem’s stock option awards was estimated using a binomial model. This model uses historical cancellation and exercise experience of Adtalem to determine the option value. It also takes into account the illiquid nature of employee options during the vesting period.

The weighted average estimated grant date fair value of options granted at market price under Adtalem’s stock-based incentive plans during the first nine months of fiscal years 2019 and 2018 was $20.96 and $14.63, per share, respectively. The fair value of Adtalem’s stock option grants was estimated assuming the following weighted average assumptions:

	Fiscal Year
	2019			2018
Expected Life (in Years)		6.50			6.68
Expected Volatility		39.60	%		41.45	%
Risk-free Interest Rate		2.73	%		1.95	%
Dividend Yield		0.00	%		0.00	%

The expected life of the options granted is based on the weighted average exercise life with age and salary adjustment factors from historical exercise behavior. Adtalem’s expected volatility is computed by combining and weighting the implied market volatility, the most recent volatility over the expected life of the option grant and Adtalem’s long-term historical volatility.

If factors change and different assumptions are employed in the valuation of stock-based grants in future periods, the stock-based compensation expense that Adtalem records may differ significantly from what was recorded in previous periods.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem granted 217,960 RSUs to selected employees and directors. Of these, 65,160 are performance-based RSUs and 152,800 are non-performance-based RSUs. Performance-based RSUs are earned by the recipients over a three-year period based on achievement of certain mission-based goals, academic goals, return on invested capital and free cash flow per share. Certain awards are subject to achievement of a minimum level of Adtalem’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Non-performance-based RSUs are subject to restrictions which lapse ratably over one, three or four-year periods on the grant anniversary date based on the recipient’s continued service on the Board, employment with Adtalem or upon retirement. During the restriction period, the recipient of the non-performance based RSUs has the right to receive dividend equivalents, if any. This right does not pertain to the performance-based RSUs. The following is a summary of RSU activity for the nine months ended March 31, 2019:

				Weighted
				Average
	Number of			Grant Date
	RSUs			Fair Value
Outstanding at July 1, 2018		1,226,958		$	28.31
Granted		217,960			49.57
Vested		(450,484	)		27.86
Forfeited		(79,958	)		33.26
Outstanding at March 31, 2019		914,476		$	33.45

The weighted average estimated grant date fair value of RSUs granted at market price under Adtalem’s stock-based incentive plans during the first nine months of fiscal years 2019 and 2018 was $49.57 and $34.34, per share, respectively.

The following table shows total stock-based compensation expense included in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31,						Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Cost of Educational Services	$	279		$	876		$	976		$	3,510

Net Stock-Based Compensation Expense	$	2,316		$	2,183		$	6,439		$	6,862

As of March 31, 2019, $21.5 million of total pre-tax unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested grants is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years. The total fair value of options and RSUs vested during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $13.7 million and $14.3 million, respectively.

There was no capitalized stock-based compensation cost at each of March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018.

Adtalem has an established practice of issuing new shares of common stock to satisfy stock-based grant exercises. However, Adtalem also may issue treasury shares to satisfy stock-based grant exercises under certain of its stock-based incentive plans.

NOTE 5: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Adtalem has elected not to measure any assets or liabilities at fair value other than those required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill, intangible assets and assets of businesses where the long-term value of the operations have been impaired.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The guidance establishes fair value measurement classifications under the following hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

When available, Adtalem uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and such measurements are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, Adtalem makes use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates and yield curves. These measurements are classified within Level 3.

Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination. These assets are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently completed as of May 31, 2018. See “Note 9: Intangible Assets” for further discussion on the impairment review including valuation techniques and assumptions.

The fair value of the institutional loans receivable included in Accounts Receivable, Net and Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates for similar arrangements. See “Note 6: Financing Receivables” for further discussion on these institutional loans receivable.

In connection with the completion of the sale of DeVry University, Adtalem loaned $10.0 million to DeVry University under the terms of the Note. The Note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable annually in arrears, and has a maturity date of January 1, 2022. The fair value of the DeVry University loan receivable included in Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates for similar arrangements.

The fair value of the deferred acquisition obligations is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates for similar arrangements. The amounts of $6.1 million, $4.3 million and $4.8 million were classified as Accrued Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively, and $9.9 million, $14.3 million and $16.6 million were classified as Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

The fair value of Adtalem Brazil’s receivable under Brazil’s “Fundo de Financiamento Estudantil” or “Students Financing Fund” (“FIES”) public loan program included in Accounts Receivable, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2018 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using published market data on Brazilian interest and inflation rates.

As of March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs.

NOTE 6: FINANCING RECEIVABLES

Adtalem’s institutional loan programs are available to students at Chamberlain, AUC, RUSM and RUSVM. These loan programs are designed to assist students who are unable to completely cover educational costs consisting of tuition, books and fees and are available only after all other student financial assistance has been applied toward those purposes. In addition, AUC, RUSM and RUSVM loans may be used for students’ living expenses. Repayment plans for institutional loan program balances are developed to address the financial circumstances of the particular student. Interest charges at rates from 3.0% to 12.0% per annum accrue each month on the unpaid balance. Students are required to begin repaying their loans while they are still in school with a minimum payment level designed to demonstrate their capability to repay, reduce the possibility of over borrowing and to minimize interest being accrued on the loan balance. Payments may increase upon completing or departing the program. After a student leaves school, the student typically will have a monthly installment repayment plan. In addition, the Becker CPA Exam Review Course can be financed through Becker with an 18-month term loan program.

Reserves for uncollectible loans are determined by analyzing the current aging of institutional loans and historical loss rates of loans at each institution. Management performs this analysis periodically throughout the year. Loans are considered nonperforming and are fully reserved if they are more than 90 days past due. Since all of Adtalem’s financing receivables are generated through the extension of credit to fund educational costs, all such receivables are considered part of the same loan portfolio.

The following table details the institutional loan balances along with the related allowances for credit losses (in thousands).

	March 31, 2019						June 30, 2018						March 31, 2018

On February 16, 2017, the Board authorized Adtalem’s tenth share repurchase program, which allowed Adtalem to repurchase up to $300 million of its common stock through December 31, 2020. The tenth share repurchase program was completed during January 2019. On November 7, 2018, the Board authorized Adtalem’s eleventh share repurchase program, which allows Adtalem to repurchase up to $300 million of its common stock through December 31, 2021. The eleventh share repurchase program commenced during January 2019. A total of 3,631,611 shares were repurchased during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 under the tenth and eleventh share repurchase programs for an aggregate of $176.9 million. The timing and amount of any repurchase will be determined based on an evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Shares of stock repurchased under the programs are held as treasury shares. These repurchased shares have reduced the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

NOTE 8: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

EduPristine

On February 5, 2018, Adtalem completed the acquisition of a majority interest in EduPristine. Under the terms of the agreement, Adtalem agreed to pay approximately $3.2 million in cash, in exchange for stock of EduPristine, increasing Adtalem’s ownership share from 36% to 64%. This ownership percentage was increased to 69% with an additional equity investment of $1.3 million in March 2018. The payments for these additional investments were made in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. EduPristine is a professional education provider in India in the areas of finance, accounting, analytics, marketing and healthcare. The acquisition furthers Adtalem’s global growth strategy into professional education.

The operations of EduPristine are included in Adtalem’s Professional Education segment. Prior to the February 5, 2018 investment, Adtalem accounted for its ownership interest in EduPristine under the equity method of accounting for investments. The results of EduPristine’s operations have been fully consolidated in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Adtalem since the February 5, 2018 acquisition date. The fair value of Adtalem’s equity investment immediately prior to the majority interest investment was $4.1 million, which was based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The $4.1 million noncontrolling interest recorded on the acquisition date was also derived using the same discounted cash flow analysis. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, Adtalem recorded a $1.2 million gain on its previous equity investment.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition of Adtalem’s majority interest in EduPristine (in thousands):

	February 5, 2018
Current Assets	$	866
Property and Equipment		239
Other Long-term Assets		69
Intangible Assets		1,380
Goodwill		11,527
Total Assets Acquired		14,081
Liabilities Assumed		2,715
Net Assets Acquired	$	11,366

Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, was assigned to the Professional Education reporting unit and reporting segment. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill include EduPristine’s strategic fit into Adtalem’s expanding presence in professional education and the acquired assembled workforce. None of the goodwill acquired is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The $1.4 million of acquired intangible assets was assigned to Trade Names. None of the acquired intangible assets were determined to be subject to amortization.

There is no pro forma presentation of operating results for this acquisition due to the insignificant effect on consolidated operations.

São Judas Tadeu

On November 1, 2017, Adtalem Brazil completed the acquisition of São Judas Tadeu (“SJT”). Under the terms of the agreement, Adtalem Brazil agreed to pay approximately $6.0 million in cash, in exchange for 100% of the stock of SJT. Approximately $1.0 million of payments were made in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, with additional aggregate payments of approximately $5.0 million required over the succeeding four years. Located in São Paulo, SJT offers medical doctor specialty test preparation and currently serves approximately 2,700 students. The acquisition of SJT adds a new product offering to Adtalem Brazil’s test preparation business.

The operations of SJT are included in Adtalem’s Technology and Business segment. The results of SJT’s operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Adtalem since the date of acquisition.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):

	November 1, 2017
Current Assets	$	558
Property and Equipment		64
Other Long-term Assets		9

Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, was assigned to the Adtalem Brazil reporting unit, which is classified within the Technology and Business segment. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill include SJT’s strategic fit into Adtalem’s expanding presence in test preparation and the acquired assembled workforce. Of the $0.4 million of acquired intangible assets, $0.2 million was assigned to Trade Names, which has been determined not to be subject to amortization. The remaining acquired intangible asset was determined to be subject to amortization with a useful life of approximately six months. The value and estimated useful life by asset type is as follows (in thousands):

There is no pro forma presentation of operating results for this acquisition due to the insignificant effect on consolidated operations.

NOTE 9: INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets relate mainly to acquired business operations. These assets consist of the acquisition fair value of certain identifiable intangible assets acquired and goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired.

Amortization expense for amortized intangible assets was $2.0 million and $6.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively, and $2.4 million and $7.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets for the next five fiscal years ending June 30 and in the aggregate, by reporting unit, is as follows (in thousands):

	Professional		Adtalem
Fiscal Year	Education		Brazil		Total
2019 (excluding the nine months ended March 31, 2019)	$	1,605	$	349	$	1,954
2020		4,671		1,223		5,894
2021		4,440		766		5,206
2022		4,300		519		4,819
2023		4,118		519		4,637
Thereafter		11,268		4,873		16,141

All amortizable intangible assets except student relationships and customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis. The amount being amortized for student relationships is based on the estimated progression of the students through the respective Damásio Educacional (“Damasio”) and Grupo Ibmec Educacional S.A. (“Grupo Ibmec”) programs, giving consideration to the revenue and cash flow associated with both existing students and new applicants. The amount being amortized for customer relationships related to ACAMS is based on the estimated retention of the customers, giving consideration to the revenue and cash flow associated with these existing customers.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to trade names, Title IV eligibility, accreditations and intellectual property are not amortized, as there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets to the reporting entity.

In accordance with GAAP, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, these assets must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. Adtalem’s annual impairment review was most recently completed as of May 31, 2018, at which time, there was no impairment loss associated with recorded goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for any reporting unit.

Adtalem has five reporting units that contained goodwill as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019. These reporting units constitute components for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by segment management. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit containing the goodwill exceeds the fair value of that reporting unit, an impairment loss to goodwill is recognized. In analyzing the results of operations and business conditions of all the reporting units, as of March 31, 2019, it was determined that no triggering event had occurred that would indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit had exceeded its fair value.

Adtalem has five reporting units that contained indefinite-lived intangible assets as of the third quarter of fiscal year 2019. For indefinite-lived intangible assets, management first analyzes qualitative factors including results of operations and business conditions of the five reporting units that contained indefinite-lived intangible assets, significant changes in cash flows at the individual indefinite-lived intangible asset level, if applicable, as well as how much previously calculated fair values exceed carrying values to determine if it is more likely than not that the intangible assets associated with these reporting units have been impaired.

These interim triggering event conclusions were based on the fact that the annual impairment review of Adtalem’s reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets resulted in no impairment indicators as of the end of fiscal year 2018, and that no interim events or deviations from planned operating results occurred as of March 31, 2019, that would cause management to reassess these conclusions.

In January 2019, Adtalem relocated RUSM to Barbados from its temporary locations in Knoxville, Tennessee at facilities owned by Lincoln Memorial University (“LMU”) and at a facility on St Kitts. Management believes the values of RUSM’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not affected by this move. The Trade Name will continue to be used and the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) has provided approval for RUSM to operate in Barbados. No new accreditation is necessary, as RUSM’s secondary accreditor, the Caribbean Accreditation Authority for Education in Medicine and other Health Professions (“CAAM-HP”), is now its primary accreditor as of the start of the January 2019 semester. CAAM-HP is authorized by the government of Barbados to accredit medical programs.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit or an intangible asset involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Management bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable at the time, but such assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty. Actual results may differ from those estimates, which could lead to additional impairments of intangible assets or goodwill.

As of March 31, 2019, intangible assets from business combinations totaled $355.1 million and goodwill totaled $811.3 million. Together, these assets equaled 54% of total assets as of such date, and any impairment could significantly affect future results of operations.

The decrease in the goodwill balance from June 30, 2018 in the Professional Education segment is the result of a change in the value of the British Sterling Pound and Indian Rupee compared to the U.S. dollar. Since the Becker’s European subsidiary and EduPristine’s goodwill is recorded in local currency, fluctuations in the values of the British Sterling Pound and Indian Rupee in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset. The decrease in the goodwill balance from June 30, 2018 in the Technology and Business segment is the result of a change in the value of the Brazilian Real compared to the U.S. dollar. Since Adtalem Brazil goodwill is recorded in local currency, fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian Real in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset.

The table below summarizes the indefinite-lived intangible asset balances by reporting segment (in thousands):

	March 31,		June 30,		March 31,

Technology and Business		109,885		111,324		130,917
Total	$	316,496	$	317,950	$	336,229

Total indefinite-lived intangible assets decreased by $1.5 million from June 30, 2018. The decrease is the result of a change in the value of the Brazilian Real as compared to the U.S. dollar. Since Adtalem Brazil intangible assets are recorded in local currency, fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian Real in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of these assets.

NOTE 10: RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to the impairment of the land, buildings and equipment at the Dominica campus of RUSM and severance related to workforce reductions in Dominica. In January 2019, RUSM relocated its campus operations to Barbados with no plans to return to Dominica. The land, buildings and equipment in Dominica have been fully impaired as management has determined the market value less the costs to sell the facilities or move the equipment is zero (see “Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”). In addition, during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to real estate consolidations at Adtalem Brazil and Adtalem’s home office. During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2018, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges related to workforce reductions and real estate consolidations at the medical and veterinary schools and Adtalem’s home office. When estimating costs of exiting lease space, estimates are made which could differ materially from actual results and result in additional restructuring charges or reversals in future periods. Termination benefit charges, as a result of reducing Adtalem’s workforce by 203 and 111 positions in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 and 2018, respectively, represented severance pay and benefits for these employees. Adtalem’s home office is classified as “Home Office and Other” in “Note 14: Segment Information.” Pre-tax restructuring charges by segment were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended March 31, 2019									Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019

The following table summarizes the separation and restructuring plan activity for the fiscal years 2019 and 2018, for which cash payments are required (in thousands):

Liability balance at June 30, 2017	$	46,115

Increase in liability (separation and other charges)		4,761
Reduction in liability (payments and adjustments)		(20,568	)
Liability balance at March 31, 2019	$	23,120

Of this liability balance, $9.0 million is recorded as Accrued Liabilities and $14.1 million is recorded as Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019. These liability balances primarily represent rent accruals and costs for employees who have either not yet separated from Adtalem or for whom full severance has not yet been paid. All of these remaining costs are expected to be paid out for periods of up to 7 years.

NOTE 11: INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations was 17.2% in the third quarter and 18.3% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019, compared to 15.7% on income from continuing operations in the third quarter and 87.8% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2018. Tax expense in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 included a special item related to one-time impacts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) and various impacts due to the sale of DeVry University. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations excluding tax expense related to the special item was 16.8% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019. Also, tax expense in the first nine months of fiscal year 2018 included a special item of $101.2 million related to the Tax Act. The effective tax rate on income from continuing operations excluding the special item was 15.4% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2018. This increase in fiscal year 2019 primarily reflects a lower U.S. tax rate resulting from the Tax Act offset by higher additional expense from provisions of the Tax Act that were effective beginning in fiscal year 2019 and a decrease in the percentage of earnings from foreign operations, which are taxed at lower rates than domestic earnings. The provisions from the Tax Act impacting fiscal year 2019 include a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”), a deduction for foreign derived intangible income (“FDII”), a limitation of certain executive compensation, and the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction. We have elected to account for GILTI as a period cost. The effective tax rate includes estimates of these new provisions. Our estimates may be revised in future periods as we obtain additional data and any new regulations or guidance is released.

Four of Adtalem’s operating units benefit from location tax incentives: AUC, which operates in St. Maarten, RUSM, which operated in Dominica and beginning in January 2019 in Barbados, RUSVM, which operates in St. Kitts, and Adtalem Brazil, which operates in Brazil. AUC’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from investment incentives. RUSM and RUSVM each have agreements with their respective domestic governments that exempt them from local income taxation. Both of these agreements have been extended to provide, in the case of RUSM, an indefinite period of exemption and, in the case of RUSVM, exemption until 2037. In January 2019, RUSM moved its operations from Dominica to Barbados. RUSM has negotiated an agreement with the Barbados government that exempts it from local income taxation until 2039. Adtalem Brazil’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from its participation in “Programa Universidade para Todos” or “University for All Program” (“PROUNI”), a Brazilian program for providing scholarships to a portion of its undergraduate students.

Adtalem has completed its accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Tax Act. The SEC has issued rules that allowed for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the legislation to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. As that period has now ended, we have finalized the calculations of the Tax Act’s impacts previously recorded in the second and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2018 with an immaterial adjustment in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

Prior Credit Facility

Adtalem entered into a revolving credit facility on March 31, 2015, which was set to expire on March 31, 2020 (“Prior Credit Facility”). The Prior Credit Facility provided for a multi-currency revolving credit facility in the amount of $400 million and $100 million available for letters of credit. As of March 31, 2018, Adtalem’s borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility were $120 million with a weighted average interest rate of 3.70%.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

On April 13, 2018, Adtalem replaced the Prior Credit Facility with new credit facilities under a new Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for (1) a $300 million revolving facility (“Revolver”) with a maturity date of April 13, 2023, and (2) a $300 million senior secured Term B loan (“Term B Loan”) with a maturity date of April 13, 2025. We refer to the Revolver and Term B Loan collectively as the “Credit Facility.” The Revolver has availability for currencies other than U.S. dollars of up to $200 million and $100 million available for letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Credit Facility may be increased by $250 million.

Term B Loan

For Eurocurrency rate loans, Term B Loan interest is equal to LIBOR or a LIBOR-equivalent rate plus 3%. For base rate loans, Term B Loan interest is equal to the base rate plus 2%. The Term B Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments of $750,000, with the balance due at maturity on April 13, 2025. As of March 31, 2019, the interest rate for borrowings under the Term B Loan facility was 5.50%, which approximated the effective interest rate.

Revolver

Revolver interest is equal to LIBOR or a LIBOR-equivalent rate for Eurocurrency rate loans or a base rate, plus an applicable rate based on Adtalem’s consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The applicable rate ranges from 1.75% to 2.75% for Eurocurrency rate loans and from 0.75% to 1.75% for base rate loans.

Adtalem had a letter of credit outstanding of $68.4 million as of each of March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018. This letter of credit was posted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 in relation to the Federal Trade Commission settlement. As of March 31, 2019, Adtalem is charged an annual fee equal to 2.25% of the undrawn face amount of the outstanding letters of credit under the Revolver, payable quarterly. Adtalem continues to post the letter of credit in relation to the Federal Trade Commission settlement on behalf of DeVry University and is reimbursed by DeVry University for 2.00% of the outstanding amount of this letter of credit. The Credit Agreement also requires payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.40% of the undrawn portion of the Revolver as of March 31, 2019. The amount undrawn under the Revolver, which includes the impact of the outstanding letters of credit, was $231.6 million as of March 31, 2019. The letter of credit fees and commitment fees are adjustable quarterly, based upon Adtalem’s achievement of certain financial ratios.

Debt Issuance Costs

Adtalem incurred $9.9 million in fees that were capitalized in relation to the Credit Agreement, $7.1 million of which was related to the Term B Loan facility and $2.7 million of which was related to the Revolver facility. The deferred debt issuance costs related to the Term B Loan are presented as a direct deduction from the face amount of the debt, while the deferred debt issuance costs related to the Revolver are classified as Other Assets, Net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the total deferred debt issuance costs for the Term B Loan and Revolver, which will be amortized over seven years and five years, respectively (in thousands):

	Term B Loan			Revolver			Total
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs at June 30, 2018	$	6,927		$	2,606		$	9,533
Amortization of Deferred Debt Issuance Costs		(766	)		(409	)		(1,175	)
Deferred Debt Issuance Costs at March 31, 2019	$	6,161		$	2,197		$	8,358

Covenants and Guarantees

The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including restrictions on our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interest on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances or investments, or sell or otherwise transfer assets.

The Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. Maintenance of these financial ratios could place restrictions on Adtalem’s ability to pay dividends. These financial ratios include a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated leverage ratio and a U.S. Department of Education financial responsibility ratio based upon a composite score of an equity ratio, a primary reserve ratio and a net income ratio. Failure to maintain any of these ratios or to comply with other covenants contained in the Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default and could result in termination of the Credit Agreement and require payment of all outstanding borrowings and replacement of outstanding letters of credit. Adtalem was in compliance with the debt covenants as of March 31, 2019.

The stock of all U.S. and certain foreign subsidiaries of Adtalem is pledged as collateral for borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

The Term B Loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to a percentage of Excess Cash Flow, which is defined within the Credit Agreement, subject to incremental step-downs, depending on the consolidated leverage ratio. Beginning in fiscal year 2019, the Excess Cash Flow payment is due in the first quarter of each year and is based on the Excess Cash Flow and consolidated leverage ratio for the prior year. No payment was due as of March 31, 2019.

Our borrowings under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and all of our domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) and secured by a first lien on our assets and the assets of our guarantor subsidiaries (excluding real estate), including capital stock of the subsidiaries.

Deferred Acquisition Obligations

Adtalem also has liabilities recorded for deferred purchase price agreements with sellers related to the purchases of Faculdade Diferencial Integral (“Facid”), Faculdade Ideal (“Faci”), Damasio, Grupo Ibmec, Faculdade de Imperatriz (“Facimp”) and SJT. This financing is in the form of holdbacks of a portion of the purchase price of these acquisitions or installment payments. Payments are made under these agreements based on payment schedules or the resolution of any pre-acquisition contingencies.

NOTE 13: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Adtalem is subject to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews and investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other matters arising in the normal conduct of its business. As of March 31, 2019, Adtalem believes it has adequately reserved for potential losses. The following is a description of pending legal and regulatory matters that may be considered other than ordinary, routine and incidental to the business. Descriptions of certain matters from prior SEC filings may not be carried forward in this report to the extent we believe such matters no longer are required to be disclosed or there has not been, to our knowledge, significant activity relating to them. The timing or outcome of the following matters, or their possible impact on Adtalem’s business, financial condition or results of operations, cannot be predicted at this time. The continued defense, resolution or settlement of any of the following matters could require us to expend significant resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and result in the imposition of significant restrictions on us and our ability to operate.

On May 13, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, against Adtalem, Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst, and Timothy J. Wiggins in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased Adtalem common stock between February 4, 2011 and January 27, 2016. The complaint cites the January 27, 2016 Notice of Intent to Limit (the “January 2016 Notice”) and a civil complaint (the “FTC lawsuit”) filed by the FTC on January 27, 2016 against Adtalem, DeVry University, Inc., and DeVry/New York Inc. (collectively, the “Adtalem Parties”), which was resolved with the FTC in 2017, that alleged that certain of DeVry University’s advertising claims were false or misleading or unsubstantiated at the time they were made in violation of Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, as the basis for claims that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and the earnings of DeVry University graduates relative to the graduates of other universities and colleges. As a result of these alleged false or misleading statements, the plaintiff alleged that defendants overstated Adtalem’s growth, revenue and earnings potential and made false or misleading statements about Adtalem’s business, operations and prospects. The plaintiff alleged direct liability against all defendants for violations of §10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and asserted liability against the individual defendants pursuant to § 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The plaintiff sought monetary damages, interest, attorneys’ fees, costs and other unspecified relief. On July 13, 2016, the Utah Retirement System (“URS”) moved for appointment as lead plaintiff and approval of its selection of counsel, which was not opposed by the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers. URS was appointed as lead plaintiff on August 24, 2016. URS filed a second amended complaint (“SAC”) on December 23, 2016. The SAC sought to represent a putative class of persons who purchased Adtalem common stock between August 26, 2011 and January 27, 2016 and named an additional individual defendant, Patrick J. Unzicker. Like the original complaint, the SAC asserted claims against all defendants for alleged violations of §10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act and asserted liability against the individual defendants pursuant to § 20(a) of the Exchange Act for alleged material misstatements or omissions regarding DeVry University graduate outcomes. On January 27, 2017, defendants moved to dismiss the SAC, which motion was granted on December 6, 2017, without prejudice. The plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint (“TAC”) on January 29, 2018. The defendants moved to dismiss the TAC on March 30, 2018. The court denied the motion to dismiss the TAC on December 20, 2018. On February 8, 2019, defendants filed their answer to the TAC wherein defendants denied all material allegations in the TAC. The parties have exchanged written discovery requests and responses and objections to those requests. The Magistrate Judge assigned to manage discovery in this case has set a status conference for June 19, 2019, to address any preliminary discovery disputes arising from the parties’ initial discovery responses.

On October 14, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by Debbie Petrizzo and five other former DeVry University students, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, against the Adtalem Parties in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Petrizzo Case”). The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons consisting of those who enrolled in and/or attended classes at DeVry University from at least 2002 through the present and who were unable to find employment within their chosen field of study within six months of graduation. Citing the FTC lawsuit, the plaintiffs claimed that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and asserted claims for unjust enrichment and violations of six different states’ consumer fraud, unlawful trade practices, and consumer protection laws. The plaintiffs seek monetary, declaratory, injunctive, and other unspecified relief.

On October 28, 2016, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by Jairo Jara and eleven others, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, against the Adtalem Parties in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “Jara Case”). The individual plaintiffs claimed to have graduated from DeVry University in 2001 or later and sought to proceed on behalf of a putative class of persons consisting of those who obtained a degree from DeVry University and who were unable to find employment within their chosen field of study within six months of graduation. Citing the FTC lawsuit, the plaintiffs claimed that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and asserted claims for unjust enrichment and violations of ten different states’ consumer fraud, unlawful trade practices, and consumer protection laws. The plaintiffs sought monetary, declaratory, injunctive, and other unspecified relief.

By order dated November 28, 2016, the district court ordered the Petrizzo and Jara Cases be consolidated under the Petrizzo caption for all further purposes. On December 5, 2016, plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint on behalf of 38 individual plaintiffs and others similarly situated. The amended consolidated complaint sought to bring claims on behalf of the named individuals and a putative nationwide class of individuals for unjust enrichment and alleged violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act and the Illinois Private Businesses and Vocational Schools Act of 2012. In addition, it purported to assert causes of action on behalf of certain of the named individuals and 15 individual state-specific putative classes for alleged violations of 15 different states’ consumer fraud, unlawful trade practices, and consumer protection laws. Finally, it sought to bring individual claims under Georgia state law on behalf of certain named plaintiffs. The plaintiffs sought monetary, declaratory, injunctive, and other unspecified relief. A motion to dismiss the amended complaint was filed by the Adtalem Parties and granted by the court, without prejudice, on February 12, 2018.

On April 12, 2018, the Petrizzo plaintiffs refiled their complaint with a new lead plaintiff, Renee Heather Polly. The plaintiffs’ refiled complaint is nearly identical to the complaint previously dismissed by the court on February 12, 2018. The Adtalem Parties moved to dismiss this refiled complaint on May 14, 2018. The court granted defendants’ motion and dismissed the amended complaint with prejudice on February 13, 2019. On March 15, 2019, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal and this matter is currently pending on appeal before the Seventh Circuit.

On January 17, 2017, Harriet Myers filed a complaint derivatively on behalf of Adtalem in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against individual defendants Daniel M. Hamburger, Timothy J. Wiggins, Richard M. Gunst, Patrick J. Unzicker, Christopher B. Begley, David S. Brown, Lisa W. Wardell, Ann Weaver Hart, Lyle Logan, Alan G. Merten, Fernando Ruiz, Ronald L. Taylor and James D. White. Adtalem was named as a nominal defendant only. The plaintiff agreed to a stipulated order moving the case to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Citing the FTC lawsuit and settlement, the January 2016 Notice, the negotiated agreement reached by DeVry University and ED on October 13, 2016 (the “ED Settlement”), and the allegations in the lawsuit filed by the Pension Trust Fund for Operating Engineers, each referenced above, the plaintiff has alleged that the individual defendants have breached their fiduciary duties and violated federal securities law since at least 2011. The plaintiff has asserted that the individual defendants permitted Adtalem to engage in unlawful conduct, failed to correct misconduct or prevent its recurrence, and failed to ensure the accurate dissemination of information to shareholders. The complaint attempts to state three claims: (i) breach of fiduciary duty by all named defendants for allegedly allowing the illegal conduct to occur, (ii) unjust enrichment by all individual defendants in the receipt of compensation, and (iii) violation of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by failing to disclose the alleged illegal scheme in proxy statements and falsely stating that compensation was based on “pay for performance” where those performance results were allegedly false. The plaintiff seeks on behalf of Adtalem monetary, injunctive and other unspecified relief. The parties reached an agreement to settle this matter along with the City of Hialeah matter (described below). The settlement approval hearing for the City of Hialeah matter will be heard on May 17, 2019. Following approval of the settlement by the court in the City of Hialeah matter, the plaintiff in Myers matter will dismiss her lawsuit.

On June 20, 2017, the City of Hialeah Employees Retirement System filed a complaint derivatively on behalf of Adtalem in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against individual defendants Daniel M. Hamburger, Christopher B. Begley, Lisa W. Wardell, Lyle Logan, Fernando Ruiz, Ronald L. Taylor and James D. White. Adtalem was named as a nominal defendant only. Citing the FTC lawsuit and settlement, the January 2016 Notice and ED Settlement, and documents produced in response to plaintiff’s request under Section 220 of the Delaware Code, the plaintiff alleges that the individual defendants have breached their fiduciary duties. The plaintiff asserts that the individual defendants permitted Adtalem and DeVry University to make, and failed to stop, false and misleading advertisements in breach of their fiduciary duties and in bad faith. The plaintiff seeks on behalf of Adtalem monetary and other unspecified relief. A motion to dismiss the complaint was filed by the Adtalem Parties on September 1, 2017, which was partially granted as to one count and partially denied as to another count on April 20, 2018. The parties reached an agreement to settle this matter along with the Myers matter (described above). The settlement approval hearing for the City of Hialeah matter will be heard on May 17, 2019.

On April 13, 2018, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by Nicole Versetto, individually and on behalf of other similarly situated, against the Adtalem Parties in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division. The complaint was filed on behalf of herself and three separate classes of similarly situated individuals who were citizens of the State of Illinois and who purchased or paid for a DeVry University program between January 1, 2008 and April 8, 2016. The plaintiff claims that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and asserts causes of action under the Illinois Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and Illinois Private Business and Vocational Schools Act, and claims of breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation, concealment, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, unjust enrichment, and declaratory relief as to violations of state law. The plaintiff seeks compensatory, exemplary, punitive, treble, and statutory penalties and damages, including pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, in addition to restitution, declaratory and injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees. The Adtalem Parties moved to dismiss this complaint on June 20, 2018. On March 11, 2019, the court granted plaintiff’s motion for leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint that same day, asserting similar claims, with new lead plaintiff, Dave McCormick. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff’s amended complaint on April 15, 2019.

On May 8, 2018, the Carlson Law Firm (“Carlson”) filed a lawsuit against Adtalem and DeVry University, Inc., on behalf of 71 individual former DeVry University students in Rangel v. Adtalem and DeVry University, Inc. Carlson filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. Plaintiffs contend that DeVry University “made deceptive representations about the benefits of obtaining a degree from DeVry University” in violation of Texas state laws and seek full restitution of all monies paid to DeVry University and any student loan lenders, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. The defendants moved to dismiss this complaint on June 5, 2018. On June 27, 2018, Carlson filed a second lawsuit on behalf of 32 former DeVry University students against Adtalem and DeVry University, Inc. in Lindberg v. Adtalem and DeVry University, Inc. Carlson filed this lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The allegations are identical to the allegations in the lawsuit Carlson filed on May 8, 2018. Specifically, plaintiffs contend that DeVry University “made deceptive representations about the benefits of obtaining a degree from DeVry University” in violation of Texas state law and seek full restitution of all monies paid to DeVry University and any student loan lenders, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees. The defendants moved to dismiss this complaint on August 28, 2018. The court consolidated these two lawsuits on December 10, 2018. The defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated action on December 18, 2018. On January 2, 2019, Carlson filed a motion to intervene on behalf of 13 additional former DeVry University students seeking to join the consolidated lawsuit. The parties re-filed their briefing on the motions to dismiss so that the motion would apply to all three groups of plaintiffs. On April 24, 2019, the Court granted Adtalem’s and DeVry University’s motions to dismiss. The Court gave the plaintiffs 45 days to refile their complaint otherwise their cases will be dismissed with prejudice.

On April 4, 2019, the Carlson Law Firm sent notice pursuant to California Legal Remedies Act, Civil Code § 1750, of 105 individuals who purportedly have claims against DeVry University and Adtalem based on allegedly deceptive comments made about the benefits of obtaining a DeVry University degree; specifically, that 90% of graduates obtained a job in their chosen field of study within six months of graduation, and that graduates were paid more than graduates of other universities. Pursuant to the letter, DeVry University and Adtalem have until May 4, 2019, to respond to the demand letters or the individuals will have the right to file a lawsuit.

On June 21, 2018, the Stoltmann Law Firm filed a lawsuit against Adtalem in Cook County Circuit Court, alleging that Adtalem breached a contract with the Stoltmann Law Firm to pay filing fees associated with arbitration claims the Stoltmann Law Firm has filed with JAMS. The Stoltmann Law Firm is seeking Specific Performance from the court. Adtalem moved to dismiss this complaint on August 3, 2018. Prior to the court ruling on Adtalem’s motion to dismiss, the Stoltmann Law Firm and 399 individuals filed an amended complaint on August 9, 2018, asserting claims for specific performance, declaratory judgment and a petition to compel arbitration. Adtalem moved to dismiss the amended complaint on August 31, 2018. The court granted Adtalem’s motion to dismiss on November 30, 2018, but granted plaintiffs leave to file a second amended complaint. A single individual plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on January 3, 2019. Adtalem has until May 23, 2019, to file a responsive pleading.

On March 29, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by Robby Brown, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, against Adtalem Global Education Inc. and DeVry University, Inc., in the Western District of Missouri. The complaint was filed on behalf of himself and two separate classes of similarly situated individuals who were citizens of the State of Missouri and who purchased or paid for and received any part of a DeVry University program. The plaintiffs claim that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and assert claims of breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, unjust enrichment, and declaratory relief. The plaintiffs seek compensatory, exemplary, punitive, treble, and statutory penalties and damages as allowed by law, including pre-judgment and post-judgment interest disgorgement, restitution, injunctive and declaratory relief, and attorneys’ fees. Defendants have not yet been served with the complaint.

On April 3, 2019, a putative class action lawsuit was filed by T’Lani Robinson, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, against Adtalem Global Education Inc. and DeVry University, Inc., in the Northern District of Georgia. The complaint was filed on behalf of herself and three separate classes of similarly situated individuals who were citizens of the State of Georgia who purchased or paid for and received any part of a DeVry University program. The plaintiffs claim that defendants made false or misleading statements regarding DeVry University’s graduate employment rate and assert claims of breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, unjust enrichment, and declaratory relief. The plaintiffs seek compensatory, exemplary, punitive, treble, and statutory penalties and damages as allowed by law, including pre-judgment and post-judgment interest disgorgement, restitution, injunctive and declaratory relief, and attorneys’ fees. Defendants have not yet been served with the complaint.

NOTE 14: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, DeVry University operations were classified as discontinued operations. In addition, beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, Carrington operations were classified as discontinued operations. See “Note 2: Discontinued Operations” for further information. Segment information presented excludes the results of DeVry University and Carrington, which were previously classified within our former U.S. Traditional Postsecondary segment and are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Discontinued operations assets are included in the table below to reconcile to Total Consolidated Assets presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, certain expenses previously allocated to DeVry University and Carrington within our former U.S. Traditional Postsecondary segment have been reclassified to the Home Office and Other segment based on discontinued operating reporting guidance regarding allocation of corporate overhead.

Adtalem’s principal business is the provision of educational services. Adtalem presents three reporting segments: “Medical and Healthcare,” which includes the operations of Chamberlain and the medical and veterinary schools (which include AUC, RUSM and RUSVM); “Professional Education,” which includes the operations of ACAMS, Becker and EduPristine; and “Technology and Business,” which includes the operations of Adtalem Brazil.

These segments are consistent with the method by which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (Adtalem’s President and Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance and allocates resources. Performance evaluations are based, in part, on each segment’s operating income. Intersegment sales are accounted for at amounts comparable to sales to nonaffiliated customers and are eliminated in consolidation. “Home Office and Other” includes activity not allocated to a reporting segment and is included to reconcile segment results to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Segments may have allocated depreciation expense related to depreciable assets reported as an asset in a different segment. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in “Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Summary financial information by reporting segment is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 15: SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 12, 2019, Adtalem entered into a Membership Interests Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with OCL Financial Services LLC (“OCL FS”) and OCL Professional Education, Inc. (“Seller”), pursuant to which Adtalem agreed to purchase all of the membership interests of OCL FS from Seller. OCL FS offers education and compliance solutions courses in the field of financial services. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the transaction, Adtalem will pay consideration of $121.0 million in cash to Seller, subject to adjustments for working capital, cash, indebtedness and transaction expenses, to acquire all of the membership interests of OCL FS (the “Transaction”). The Transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Through its website, Adtalem Global Education Inc. (“Adtalem,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) offers its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Adtalem’s website is http://www.adtalem.com. Except as otherwise stated in these reports, the information contained on our website or available by hyperlink from our website is not incorporated into our Annual Report on Form 10-K, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or other documents we file with, or furnish to, the SEC.

The following discussion of Adtalem’s results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto in “Item 1 – Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Adtalem’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto in “Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in Adtalem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. Adtalem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a description of critical accounting policies and estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of Adtalem’s financial statements. These include, but are not limited to, the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; revenue and expense recognition; allowance for uncollectible accounts; internal-use developed software; land, building and equipment; stock-based compensation; valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets; valuation of long-lived assets; and income taxes.

The seasonal pattern of Adtalem’s enrollments and its educational programs’ starting dates affect the results of operations and the timing of cash flows. Therefore, management believes that comparisons of its results of operations should primarily be made to the corresponding period in the preceding year. Comparisons of financial position should be made to both the end of the previous fiscal year and to the end of the corresponding quarterly period in the preceding year.

As of June 30, 2018, Adtalem eliminated its U.S. Traditional Postsecondary reporting segment when Carrington College (“Carrington”) was placed into discontinued operations (see further details below under the heading “Divestiture of Carrington College”). As a result, Adtalem now has three reporting segments: “Medical and Healthcare,” which includes the operations of Chamberlain University (“Chamberlain”) and the medical and veterinary schools (which include American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (“AUC”), Ross University School of Medicine (“RUSM”) and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (“RUSVM”)); “Professional Education,” which includes the operations of the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (“ACAMS”), Becker Professional Education (“Becker”) and EduPristine; and “Technology and Business,” which includes the operations of Adtalem Education of Brazil (“Adtalem Brazil”).

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those statements concerning Adtalem’s expectations or plans, may constitute forward-looking statements subject to the Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as Adtalem Global Education or its management “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “foresees,” “forecasts,” “estimates,” “plans,” “intends,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” or other words or phrases of similar import which predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances.

These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to a material difference are described throughout this report, including those in “Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Item 1 – Legal Proceedings” and “Item 1A – Risk Factors,” and in the subsections of “Item 1 – Business” titled “Market Trends and Competition,” “Student Admissions,” “Accreditation,” “Financial Aid and Financing Student Education,” “Legislative and Regulatory Requirements,” “Seasonality” and “Employees” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2018 filed with the SEC on August 24, 2018 and our other filings with the SEC. Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW

Adtalem’s financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 reflect a revenue decrease of $1.5 million, or 0.5%, compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by a decrease in revenue in the Technology and Business segment, which included a negative foreign currency exchange impact in Brazil. This decrease was partially offset by revenue increases in the Medical and Healthcare and Professional Education segments. On a constant currency basis, revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 increased 2.1% compared to the year-ago quarter. Net income in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 of $37.9 million decreased $1.4 million, or 3.6%, compared to the year-ago quarter. Net income from continuing operations excluding special items decreased 7.7% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago quarter, driven by an increase in interest expense and operating income decreases in the Medical and Healthcare and Technology and Business segments. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in operating income in the Professional Education segment and cost reductions at home office. (See “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information and Supplemental Reconciliation Schedule” below). Operational and financial highlights for the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 include:

In January 2019, RUSM commenced operations at its new campus in Barbados. Academic facilities are located in Bridgetown. Student housing is located close to academic facilities in the parish of Christ Church at an existing housing community that was completed by RUSM and includes amenities, student services and convenient transportation to campus.

For the March 2019 session, total student enrollment at Chamberlain increased 3.4%, compared to the same term last year. Chamberlain continues to invest in its programs, student services and campus locations.

For the March 2019 session, at Adtalem Brazil new student enrollment increased 17.7% and total student enrollment increased 5.6%, compared to the same session last year. Online and Grupo Ibmec enrollment were the main drivers of the increases.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges of $3.9 million primarily related to real estate consolidations at Adtalem Brazil and Adtalem’s home office.

Adtalem completed its tenth share repurchase program and commenced its eleventh repurchase program by repurchasing a total of 1,266,160 shares of Adtalem’s common stock at an average cost of $48.15 per share during the third quarter of fiscal year 2019. On November 7, 2018, the Board of Directors of Adtalem approved the eleventh share repurchase program, which allows Adtalem to repurchase up to $300 million of its common stock, from time to time, through December 31, 2021.

Adtalem’s financial position remained strong, generating $128.5 million of operating cash flow during the first nine months of fiscal year 2019. As of March 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $321.2 million and outstanding borrowings totaled $297.8 million.

DIVESTITURE OF DEVRY UNIVERSITY

On December 11, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of DeVry University to Cogswell pursuant to the purchase agreement dated December 4, 2017. To support DeVry University’s future success, Adtalem transferred DeVry University with a working capital balance of $8.75 million at the closing date. In addition, Adtalem has agreed to indemnify Cogswell for certain losses including those related to certain pre-closing defense to repayment claims. The purchase agreement also includes an earn-out entitling Adtalem to payments of up to $20 million over a ten-year period payable based on DeVry University’s free cash flow.

DeVry University was an operating segment and was previously included in our former U.S. Traditional Postsecondary reporting segment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement, DeVry University was sold in its entirety. Divesting DeVry University is a strategic shift in the operations of Adtalem. DeVry University offered principally bachelor’s and master’s degrees in technology and business in the U.S., and Adtalem exited this market with this disposition. Adtalem’s only other operating segment that grants primarily bachelor’s and master’s degrees is Chamberlain, and this institution’s degrees are in nursing and related healthcare fields. Selling the DeVry University operating segment reduces the organization’s dependence on government Title IV funds for its revenue, which was one of Adtalem’s strategic goals. DeVry University was the legacy business of Adtalem and at one time accounted for the majority of its consolidated revenue and operating income. Disposal of this operating segment will have a significant effect on the operations and financial results of Adtalem (See “Note 2: Discontinued Operations”) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we have classified the DeVry University entity as “Held for Sale” and “Discontinued Operations.” As a result, all financial results, disclosures and discussions of continuing operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q exclude DeVry University operations, unless otherwise noted.

DIVESTITURE OF CARRINGTON COLLEGE

On December 4, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of Carrington to SJVC pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIPA”) dated June 28, 2018. To support Carrington’s future success, Adtalem made a capital contribution of $7.5 million to Carrington, based on an agreed working capital balance of $11.5 million at the closing date.

Carrington was an operating segment and was previously included in our former U.S. Traditional Postsecondary reporting segment. Subject to the terms and conditions of the MIPA, Carrington was sold in its entirety. Divesting Carrington is a strategic shift in the operations of Adtalem. Carrington offered principally career specific certificate or associate degree programs in the U.S., and Adtalem exited this market with this disposition. Selling the Carrington operating segment reduces the organization’s dependence on government Title IV funds for its revenue, which is one of Adtalem’s important strategic goals. Disposal of this operating segment will have a significant effect on the operations and financial results of Adtalem (See “Note 2: Discontinued Operations”) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In accordance with GAAP, we have classified the Carrington entity as “Held for Sale” and “Discontinued Operations.” As a result, all financial results, disclosures and discussions of continuing operations in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q exclude Carrington operations, unless otherwise noted.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND SUPPLEMENTAL RECONCILIATION SCHEDULE

During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded special items related to the following:

Restructuring charges related to the closing of the RUSM campus in Dominica, loss on sale charges at Adtalem Brazil related to the disposition of the Joao Pessoa institution, and real estate consolidations at Adtalem Brazil and Adtalem’s home office.

Insurance settlement gain related to the final insurance settlement related to Hurricanes Irma and Maria at AUC and RUSM.

Adjustments to the preliminary income tax charges related to the implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and tax charges related to the divestiture of DeVry University.

During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2018, Adtalem recorded special items related to the following:

Restructuring charges related to severance for workforce reductions and real estate consolidations at the medical and veterinary schools and Adtalem’s home office.

Income tax charges related to implementation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

The following table illustrates the effects of discontinued operations and special items on Adtalem’s net income (loss). Management believes that the non-GAAP disclosure of net income from continuing operations excluding special items and adjusted earnings per share excluding discontinued operations and special items provides investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Adtalem’s ongoing operations and is useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations given the nature of discontinued operations, restructuring charges, insurance settlement gain and certain income tax charges. Adtalem uses these supplemental financial measures internally in its management and budgeting process. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as a substitute for, Adtalem’s reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following table reconciles these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP information (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Medical and Healthcare

Revenue in the Medical and Healthcare segment increased 1.6%, or $3.5 million, to $223.6 million in the third quarter and increased 3.8%, or $23.7 million, to $638.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria delayed the September 2017 semester of basic science academic instruction at AUC and RUSM, respectively, resulting in a $3.7 million shift of revenue from the first half of fiscal year 2018 to the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, in addition to a revenue loss in the first nine months of fiscal year 2018 of $4.6 million. Key trends for Chamberlain and the medical and veterinary schools are set forth below.

Chamberlain revenue decreased 0.2%, or $0.3 million, to $128.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago quarter, as higher total student enrollment was offset by lower fee revenue. Chamberlain revenue increased 1.9%, or $6.6 million, to $364.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago period, driven primarily by higher new and total enrollment in all tracks of the Master of Science in Nursing (“MSN”) degree, the campus-based Bachelor of Science of Nursing (“BSN”) program and the Doctorate of Nursing Practice (“DNP”) program.

Chamberlain currently operates 21 campuses in 15 states. Chamberlain’s newest campus, in New Orleans, Louisiana, began instruction in May 2018.

Tuition Rates:

Tuition is $675 per credit hour for students enrolling in the BSN onsite program. Tuition for the RN-to-BSN online degree program is $590 per credit hour. Tuition for students enrolled in the online MSN program is $650 per credit hour. For students enrolled in the Family Nurse Practitioner (“FNP”) track, tuition is $665 per credit hour for the ten FNP specialty courses. Tuition for the online DNP program is $750 per credit hour. Tuition for the Master of Public Health (“MPH”) program is $550 per credit hour. All of these tuition rates are unchanged from the prior year. These tuition rates do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation or living expenses.

The medical and veterinary schools’ revenue increased 4.1%, or $3.8 million, to $95.4 million in the third quarter and increased 6.6%, or $17.0 million, to $274.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. The principle drivers of the increases were higher housing revenue at the new Barbados campus of RUSM, tuition price increases at the medical and veterinary schools and total enrollment increases. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the comparison with fiscal year 2018 was negatively affected by $3.7 million of revenue at AUC and RUSM (together the medical schools) that was recognized in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 and was deferred from the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 as a result of Hurricanes Irma and Maria and the resulting postponement of the September 2017 semester’s basic science academic instruction at the medical schools. The revenue increase for first nine months of fiscal year 2019 was positively affected by lower comparable revenue in the first nine months of fiscal year 2018 due to $4.6 million in lost revenue at the medical schools as a result of the students withdrawing due to the hurricane disruptions. Management is executing its plan to differentiate the medical and veterinary schools from the competition, with a core goal of increasing international students, and improving the effectiveness of marketing strategies by restructuring the marketing organization, and shifting from traditional media and event-driven marketing to greater use of digital and social media channels to drive awareness throughout the year.

New and total student enrollment increases in the September 2018 term were positively influenced by lower comparable enrollment in the September 2017 term due to the effects of the hurricanes at the medical schools. The January 2019 new student enrollment decline at the medical schools was negatively influenced by a high number of new students in the January 2018 term that had previously enrolled in September 2017, but did not start due to hurricanes. The new student enrollment increase in the September 2018 term also benefitted from improved effectiveness of marketing and recruiting strategies at RUSM and RUSVM. Management believes the demand for medical and veterinary education remains strong and can support management’s longer-term expectations to grow new enrollments in the low-single digit range; however, heightened competition may adversely affect the medical and veterinary schools’ ability to continue to attract qualified students to its programs.

In January 2019, RUSM moved its basic science instruction to a new location in Barbados. The academic facility is located in Bridgetown, and student housing is located close to the academic facility in the parish of Christ Church at an existing housing community that includes amenities, student services and convenient transportation to campus.

Tuition Rates:

Effective for semesters beginning in September 2018, tuition rates for the beginning basic sciences and final clinical rotation portions of AUC’s medical program are $22,454 and $25,120, respectively, per semester. These tuition rates represent a 3.5% increase over the prior academic year.

Effective for semesters beginning in September 2018, tuition rates for the beginning basic sciences and Internal Medicine Foundations/final clinical portion of the programs at RUSM are $23,240 and $25,650, respectively, per semester. These tuition rates represent a 4.0% increase over the prior academic year.

For students beginning the RUSVM program in September 2018 or later, the tuition rate for the pre-clinical (Semesters 1-7) and clinical curriculum (Semesters 8-10) is $20,304 per semester. For students who entered RUSVM before September 2018, tuition rates for the pre-clinical and clinical curriculum are $18,859 and $23,676, respectively, per semester. These tuition rates represent a 3% increase over the prior academic year.

The respective tuition rates for AUC, RUSM and RUSVM do not include the cost of transportation, living expenses or health insurance.

Professional Education

Revenue in the Professional Education segment increased 14.1%, or $4.4 million, to $35.9 million in the third quarter and increased 11.6%, or $11.8 million, to $113.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. The increase in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019 is driven primarily by revenue growth at ACAMS and improved revenue at Becker Accounting. ACAMS memberships have increased to over 72,000 as of March 31, 2019, driven by strong domestic growth as well as expansion in the Asia Pacific and European regions. In addition, the acquisition in February 2018 of a 69% ownership interest in EduPristine has contributed to the revenue growth in both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019.

Technology and Business

Revenue in the Technology and Business segment, which is composed solely of Adtalem Brazil, decreased 15.5%, or $9.1 million, to $49.9 million in the third quarter and decreased 18.7%, or $36.8 million, to $159.8 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. The decrease in value of the Brazilian Real compared to the U.S. dollar decreased reported revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019 by $8.0 million and $31.3 million, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods. Constant currency calculations assume conversions of local currency amounts at exchange rates in effect in the year-ago period compared to those conversions at exchange rates in effect during the current fiscal year period. On a constant currency basis, revenue decreased by 2.0% and 2.8% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods. In addition to increased competition, the decreases were partially driven by the higher discounting necessary to offset the effect of reductions and timing delays in and the “Fundo de Financiamento Estudantil” or “Students Financing Fund” (“FIES”) program and reductions in the “Programa Universidade para Todos” or “University for All Program” (“PROUNI”) program. The Brazilian government run system that administers FIES was inaccessible to students for several weeks during March and April 2019, due to system issues. This hindered students’ ability to obtain funding necessary to finance their educations. In order to assist students with this funding gap, Adtalem Brazil increased the use of discounts. See below for further discussion of the changes in the FIES program. Additionally, declines in the number of students enrolled in law exam test preparation courses partially drove the revenue decreases. These declines are related to changes in the timing of the exam compared to the prior year as well as changes in the exam that are resulting in lower pass rates for the first level of the exam, which lowers demand for preparation courses for the subsequent level.

Brazil’s economy presented challenges for enrollment growth and created pricing pressures in the education sector. Adtalem Brazil’s revenue results have been negatively impacted by these conditions as well as reductions in the FIES program and increased competition. Adtalem Brazil students are eligible for loans under Brazil’s FIES public loan program, which is financed by the Brazilian government. As of March 31, 2019, approximately 19% of Adtalem Brazil’s degree-seeking students have obtained financing under the FIES program. This represents approximately 17% of Adtalem Brazil’s revenue. The Brazilian government has stated that it is supportive of the FIES program, which is an important factor in helping to increase the number of college graduates. However, the changes enacted during fiscal year 2018 reducing the number of FIES contracts available for grant by approximately 31% to all higher education institutions in Brazil, have impacted Adtalem Brazil’s growth. Adtalem Brazil institutions have increased efforts to attract more non-FIES students in order to diversify their payer mix. Also, Adtalem Brazil is working with private lenders to increase funding sources for prospective students. Management believes Adtalem Brazil institutions offer programs of study and operate in areas of the country that the Brazilian government favors in issuing FIES loans. Should economic conditions continue to weaken and additional austerity measures be instituted by the Brazilian government, Adtalem Brazil’s ability to grow its student enrollment may be further impacted.

Key trends for Adtalem Brazil are set forth below.

These enrollment figures include students enrolled in degree-granting programs and exclude students enrolled in test preparation programs at Damásio Educacional (“Damasio”). The November 2017 acquisition of São Judas Tadeu (“SJT”) did not affect the fiscal year 2019 or 2018 enrollment figures because these medical test preparation students are also excluded from reported enrollment. The increase in new and total student enrollment in the September 2018 and March 2019 terms are driven primarily by increases in online enrollment and tuition discounting. This enrollment increase is not driving higher revenue due to lower tuition pricing of the online programs.

Brazilian government regulations on opening and operating distance learning in the country have streamlined the approval process for launching online facilities, making this segment more economically attractive to larger institutions. Adtalem Brazil began offering several bachelor’s and associate degree programs via distance learning in February 2018. These programs are offered under the Wyden Online brand. They are delivered through the Damasio network of over 200 learning centers, which currently has the infrastructure and staff necessary to support distance learning degrees. These online programs are not currently a significant contributor to Adtalem Brazil’s revenue.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Cost of Educational Services

The largest component of Cost of Educational Services is the cost of faculty and staff who support educational operations. This expense category also includes the costs of facilities, adjunct faculty, supplies, bookstore and other educational materials, student education-related support activities and the provision for bad debts.

Cost of Educational Services decreased 1.9%, or $3.0 million, to $156.3 million in the third quarter and decreased 5.5%, or $26.7 million, to $463.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. Excluding the effect of the change in value of the Brazilian Real compared to the U.S. dollar, total consolidated Cost of Educational Services increased 1.8%, or $2.9 million, in the third quarter and decreased 1.0%, or $4.9 million, in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. Prior year expense in the first nine months of fiscal year 2018 also included a $13.4 million charge representing the deductibles under insurance policies, incurred for facility and equipment impairment write-offs and the evacuations of the medical school students, faculty and staff in the wakes of Hurricanes Irma and Maria. Cost increases at the medical schools in fiscal year 2019, excluding the insurance deductibles in fiscal year 2018, were partially driven by AUC and RUSM as operations returned to St. Maarten and moved to Barbados, respectively, and operating costs returned to normal levels. Costs in fiscal year 2018 were reduced as teaching operations were moved to an alternate site. In addition, expenses increased in fiscal year 2019 due to increased housing costs at RUSM’s Barbados campus and increased investment in growth in the Medical and Healthcare and Professional Education segments and the acquisition in February 2018 of a 69% ownership interest in EduPristine. Partially offsetting the cost increases were cost reduction measures in the Technology and Business segment, which were instituted in response to declining revenue at Adtalem Brazil, and at Adtalem home office, which were necessary with the divestitures of DeVry University and Carrington.

As a percentage of revenue, Cost of Educational Services was 50.7% and 50.9% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, respectively, compared to 51.4% and 53.8%, respectively, during the year-ago periods. The decrease in the percentage in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 was primarily the result of the cost reduction efforts across all institutions and the result of the negative effects on revenue and expense from Hurricanes Irma and Maria during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2018.

Student Services and Administrative Expense

The Student Services and Administrative Expense category includes expenses related to student admissions, marketing and advertising, general and administrative, curriculum development and amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets related to acquisitions of businesses.

Student Services and Administrative Expense increased 4.5%, or $4.4 million, to $102.1 million in the third quarter and increased 8.9%, or $24.5 million, to $300.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. Excluding the effect of the change in value of the Brazilian Real compared to the U.S. dollar, total consolidated Student Services and Administrative Expense increased 6.3%, or $6.1 million, in the third quarter and increased 10.9%, or $30.1 million, in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. Cost increases to support enrollment growth at the medical and veterinary schools, Chamberlain, ACAMS and Adtalem Brazil were the main drivers of the increase in costs. These increases were partially offset by cost reductions at Becker. Approximately $6.4 million and $24.0 million of the increase in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2019, respectively, was due to home office costs reallocated to continuing operations from DeVry University and Carrington. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets decreased $0.4 million and $1.1 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods. Amortization expense is included entirely in the Student Services and Administrative Expense category.

As a percentage of revenue, Student Services and Administrative Expense was 33.1% and 33.0% in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, respectively, compared to 31.5% and 30.3%, respectively, during the year-ago periods. The growth support and the reallocation of home office expense to continuing operations noted above, along with reduced revenue, particularly at Adtalem Brazil, resulted in the increase in this percentage.

Restructuring Expense

During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to the impairment of the land, buildings and equipment at the Dominica campus of RUSM and severance related to workforce reductions in Dominica. In January 2019, RUSM relocated its campus operations to Barbados with no plans to return to Dominica. The land, buildings and equipment in Dominica have been fully impaired as management has determined the market value less the costs to sell the facilities or move the equipment is zero (see “Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges primarily related to real estate consolidations at Adtalem Brazil and Adtalem’s home office. During the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2018, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges related to workforce reductions and real estate consolidations at the medical and veterinary schools and Adtalem’s home office. When estimating costs of exiting lease space, estimates are made which could differ materially from actual results and result in additional restructuring charges or reversals in future periods. Termination benefit charges, as a result of reducing Adtalem’s workforce by 203 and 111 positions in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 and 2018, respectively, represented severance pay and benefits for these employees. Adtalem’s home office is classified as “Home Office and Other” in “Note 14: Segment Information” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Pre-tax restructuring charges by segment were as follows (in thousands):

Total	$	46	$	575	$	621	$	(393	)	$	3,577	$	3,184

Cash payments for restructuring charges were $20.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019. The remaining accrual for these charges is $23.1 million as of March 31, 2019. The balance is expected to be paid out for periods of up to 7 years. Additional restructuring expense is expected to be recorded in the remainder of fiscal year 2019 as Adtalem continues to reduce home office costs.

Insurance Settlement Gain

In December 2018, AUC and RUSM received the final insurance settlement proceeds related to the property damage and disruption of operations caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in fiscal year 2018. AUC and RUSM have completed substantially all planned repairs and replacement of damaged facilities and equipment. AUC and RUSM received total insurance proceeds of $110.0 million to fully cover the cumulative expense incurred for the evacuation process, temporary housing and transportation of students, faculty and staff, incremental costs of teaching at alternative sites, and cumulative impairment write-downs. These costs totaled $106.7 million, less $12.3 million in deductibles, which were adjusted in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019 from $13.4 million recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The resulting gain of $15.6 million was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

OPERATING INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Total consolidated operating income from continuing operations decreased 11.8%, or $6.2 million, to $46.3 million in the third quarter and decreased 19.8%, or $28.2 million, to $114.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. Excluding the effect of the change in value of the Brazilian Real compared to the U.S. dollar, total consolidated operating income from continuing operations decreased 11.0%, or $5.8 million, in the third quarter and decreased 17.1%, or $24.3 million, in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods.

Excluding the effect of the currency change, the effects of the hurricanes and the increase in restructuring expense of $3.3 million, consolidated operating income from continuing operations increased $1.2 million, or 2.3%, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago quarter. The primary drivers of the increase were increased revenue at Professional Education and reduced home office costs, partially offset by a $6.4 million increase in home office costs reallocated to continuing operations and the return to a normal level of expense at AUC and RUSM as operations returned to St. Maarten and moved to Barbados, respectively.

The primary driver of the decreased operating income from continuing operations in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 was the $43.9 million increase in restructuring expense, partially offset with the $15.6 million hurricane insurance settlement gain. Excluding the effect of the currency change, the hurricane insurance settlement gain in fiscal year 2019, and the effects of the hurricanes and the restructuring expense in both fiscal years 2019 and 2018, consolidated operating income from continuing operations decreased $13.9 million, or 8.5%, in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago period. The primary driver of this decrease was the $24.0 million increase in home office costs reallocated to continuing operations. This increase was partially offset with increased revenue at Professional Education reduced home office costs.

Medical and Healthcare

Medical and Healthcare segment operating income decreased 12.0%, or $7.2 million, to $53.1 million in the third quarter and decreased 18.5%, or $26.2 million, to $115.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. Excluding the restructuring charges, the effects of Hurricanes Irma and Maria and the hurricane insurance settlement gain, segment operating income decreased 7.4%, or $4.2 million, to $53.0 million in the third quarter and decreased 11.9%, or $19.0 million, to $141.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. The primary drivers of the decrease in operating income in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019 relate to cost increases to support future growth including $4.5 million and $17.0 million, respectively, in home office costs reallocated to continuing operations and the return to a normal level of expense at AUC and RUSM as operations returned to St. Maarten and moved to Barbados, respectively.

Professional Education

Professional Education segment operating income increased 113.5%, or $2.7 million, to $5.1 million in the third quarter and increased 29.1%, or $4.4 million, to $19.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. Operating income increased at ACAMS driven by increases in revenue and at Becker through cost reduction efforts. These increases were partially offset by cost increases to support future growth in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, including $1.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively, in home office costs reallocated to continuing operations.

Technology and Business

Technology and Business segment operating income decreased $2.5 million to an operating loss of $2.6 million in the third quarter and operating income decreased $12.6 million to $3.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago periods. Operating income was reduced by the effect of exchange rate changes by $0.4 million and $3.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, respectively. Excluding the effect of the exchange rate changes and restructuring charges, segment operating income decreased $0.3 million and $6.8 million in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, respectively, compared to the year-ago periods, primarily driven by higher discounting and increased student recruiting costs. In addition, costs increased to support future growth in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019, including $0.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in home office costs reallocated to continuing operations.

NET OTHER EXPENSE

Net other expense in the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2019 was $2.6 million and $11.3 million, respectively, compared to net other expense of $1.5 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in the year-ago periods. The net other expense increases were primarily the result of increased borrowings under Adtalem’s Credit Facility (as defined herein). Net other expense was also impacted with implementing ASU 2016-01 which requires investment gains and losses in available-for-sale equity investments to be reported in the income statement, rather than as previously disclosed in accumulated other comprehensive income. See “Note 12: Debt” and “Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

INCOME TAXES

Four of Adtalem’s operating units benefit from local tax incentives: AUC, which operates in St. Maarten, RUSM, which operated in Dominica, RUSVM, which operates in St. Kitts, and Adtalem Brazil, which operates in Brazil. AUC’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from investment incentives. RUSM and RUSVM each have agreements with their respective domestic governments that exempt them from local income taxation. Both of these agreements have been extended to provide, in the case of RUSM, an indefinite period of exemption and, in the case of RUSVM, exemption until 2037. In January 2019, RUSM moved its operations from Dominica to Barbados. RUSM has negotiated an agreement with the Barbados government that exempts it from local income taxation until 2039. Adtalem Brazil’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from its participation in “Programa Universidade para Todos” or “University for All Program” (“PROUNI”), a Brazilian program for providing scholarships to a portion of its undergraduate students.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Student Payments

Adtalem’s primary source of liquidity is the cash received from payments for student tuition, books, other educational materials and fees. These payments include funds originating as financial aid from various federal and state loan and grant programs, student and family educational loans (“private loans”), employer educational reimbursements and student and family financial resources. Adtalem continues to provide financing options for its students, including Adtalem’s institutional loan programs.

The following table summarizes Adtalem’s cash receipts from tuition and related fee payments by fund source as a percentage of total revenue for fiscal years 2018 and 2017.

	Fiscal Year
	2018			2017
Funding Source:
Federal Assistance (Title IV) Program Funding (Grants and Loans)		46	%		47	%
Brazil FIES Public Loan Program		6	%		7	%
Private Loans		1	%		1	%
Student accounts, cash payments, private scholarships, employer and military provided tuition assistance and other		47	%		45	%
Total		100	%		100	%

The table above excludes DeVry University and Carrington revenue. The increase in the “Student accounts, cash payments, private scholarships, employer and military provided tuition assistance and other” funding source is the result of management’s efforts to reduce Adtalem’s funding provided by U.S. federal and Brazilian FIES sources.

The pattern of cash receipts during the year is seasonal. Adtalem’s cash collections on accounts receivable peak at the start of each institution’s term. Accounts receivable reach their lowest level at the end of each term, dropping to the lowest point at the end of December.

Adtalem’s consolidated cash balances of $321.2 million as of March 31, 2019 included $155.8 million of cash attributable to Adtalem’s international operations. As a result of the Tax Act, Adtalem has revised its intent to indefinitely reinvest accumulated cash balances, future cash flows and post-acquisition undistributed earnings and profits in foreign operations, and only intends to maintain this position with respect to cash balances, cash flows and accumulated and future earnings in Brazil. In accordance with this plan, only cash held by the subsidiaries of Brazil will not be available for general company purposes. As of March 31, 2019, the cash balance attributable to operations in Brazil was $90.5 million. Management does not believe this policy will adversely affect Adtalem’s overall liquidity.

Financial Aid

Like other higher education institutions, Adtalem is highly dependent upon the timely receipt of federal financial aid funds. All financial aid and assistance programs are subject to political and governmental budgetary considerations. In the U.S., the Higher Education Act (“HEA”) guides the federal government’s support of postsecondary education. If there are changes to financial aid programs that restrict student eligibility or reduce funding levels, Adtalem’s financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. See “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in Adtalem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 filed with the SEC on August 24, 2018, for a discussion of student financial aid related risks.

In addition, government-funded financial assistance programs are governed by extensive and complex regulations in the U.S. and Brazil. Like any other educational institution, Adtalem’s administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by various regulatory agencies and is subject to audit or investigation by other governmental authorities. Any violation could be the basis for penalties or other disciplinary action, including initiation of a suspension, limitation or termination proceeding.

If the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) determines that we have failed to demonstrate either financial responsibility or administrative capability in any pending program review, or otherwise determines that an institution has violated the terms of its Program Participation Agreement (“PPA”), we could be subject to sanctions including: fines, penalties, reimbursement for discharged loan obligations, a requirement to post a letter of credit and/or suspension or termination of our eligibility to participate in the Title IV programs.

On October 13, 2016, DeVry University and ED reached a negotiated agreement (the “ED Settlement”) to settle the claims asserted in a Notice of Intent to Limit from the Multi-Regional and Foreign School Participation Division of the Federal Student Aid office of the Department of Education (“ED FSA”). Under the terms of the ED Settlement, among other things, without admitting wrongdoing, DeVry University agreed to certain compliance requirements regarding its past and future advertising, that DeVry University’s participation in Title IV programs is subject to provisional certification for five years and that DeVry University is required to post a letter of credit equal to the greater of 10% of DeVry University’s annual Title IV disbursements or $68.4 million for a five-year period. The posted letter of credit continues to be posted by Adtalem following the closing of the sale of DeVry University, reduces Adtalem’s borrowing capacity dollar-for-dollar under its Credit Facility.

ED regulations known as its “gainful employment” (“GE”) regulations, which became effective July 1, 2015, define which private-sector programs prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized profession and are therefore eligible for Title IV funding. ED announced a negotiated rulemaking process on June 16, 2017 to substantially revise the GE regulations and held rulemaking sessions beginning December 2017 through March 2018. Draft regulations rescinding the GE regulations were published by ED on August 14, 2018; ED allowed for a 30-day comment period and publication of the final, revised GE regulations is pending.

Current GE regulations have three components:

Certification: Institutions must certify that each of their GE programs meet applicable state licensure and accreditation requirements and satisfy applicable educational prerequisites for professional licensure and certification.

Accountability Measures: To maintain Title IV eligibility, GE programs must meet minimum standards for limiting the debt burden versus the earnings of their graduates. GE programs will be considered passing, in the zone, or failing for each year in which the accountability measures are calculated, described as follows:

Pass: Programs whose graduates have an assumed annual loan repayment burden of 8% or less of total earnings or 20% or less of discretionary income.

Zone: Programs that are not passing and whose graduates have an assumed annual loan repayment burden greater than 8% and less than or equal to 12% of total earnings or greater than 20% and less than or equal to 30% of discretionary income.

Fail: Programs whose graduates have an assumed annual loan repayment burden greater than 12% of total earnings and greater than 30% of discretionary income.

Programs that fail in two out of any three consecutive years or do not pass in any four consecutive years will be disqualified from participation in Title IV programs for a period of three years, and an institution is prohibited from establishing Title IV eligibility for any substantially similar program during that period.

Transparency: Institutions are required to make annual public disclosures regarding the performance and outcomes of their GE programs. The disclosures include information regarding program costs, median debt of all graduates and completion and placement rates and may include additional disclosure items in future periods.

The accountability measures typically weigh a calculated debt burden from graduates who completed their studies three and four years prior to the measuring academic year against the mean or median earnings of these graduates during the most recent calendar year prior to the conclusion of the measuring academic year. Thus, for the 2014-2015 academic year (the first measurement year under these regulations), the cohort includes graduates from the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic years and earnings for these graduates from calendar year 2014. ED obtained its graduate earnings data from the Social Security Administration. Debt burdens for students enrolled in programs that require an internship or residency prior to licensure, such as the medical doctor degrees offered by AUC and RUSM, are calculated from cohorts who completed their studies six and seven years prior to the measuring academic year.

Final accountability measures for the 2014-2015 academic year were released to institutions on January 8, 2017. The only Adtalem Title IV-participating program classification that did not pass the GE metric was RUSVM’s Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (“DVM”) program, which was considered to be in the zone. Required warnings were provided in February 2017 to enrolled and prospective RUSVM DVM students. Enrollment in this GE program zone classification represents 4% of total enrollment in the Medical and Healthcare reporting segment, which is the sole Adtalem Title IV-participating reporting segment, and $59 million of Title IV revenue during the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and $76 million during the year ended June 30, 2018.

Management expects RUSVM will continue to be in the zone for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic years under the current GE structure. This is possible notwithstanding strong student outcomes and very low cohort default rates for RUSVM graduates (0.7% for fiscal year 2015, the latest 3-year cohort period for which official data is available). If the GE regulations and guidance are not changed prior to ED’s issuance of GE rates for the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 years, and RUSVM’s veterinary program is determined by ED to be in the zone for those years, RUSVM would be required to issue warnings to students that Title IV funding may no longer be available to students attending RUSVM. If the GE regulations are unchanged and RUSVM’s veterinary program is determined to be in the zone for the 2017-2018 academic year, RUSVM students would no longer have access to Title IV student aid, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

An ED regulation known as the “90/10 Rule” affects only proprietary postsecondary institutions, such as Chamberlain, AUC, RUSM and RUSVM. Under this regulation, an institution that derives more than 90% of its revenue on a cash basis from Title IV student financial assistance programs in two consecutive fiscal years loses eligibility to participate in these programs for at least two fiscal years. The following table details the percentage of revenue on a cash basis from federal financial assistance programs (excluding the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and military tuition assistance benefits) for each of Adtalem’s Title IV-eligible institutions for fiscal years 2018 and 2017.

	Fiscal Year
	2018			2017
Chamberlain University		62	%		63	%
American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine		74	%		80	%
Ross University School of Medicine		81	%		82	%
Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine		82	%		83	%

In September 2016, Adtalem committed to voluntarily limit to 85% the amount of revenue that each of its four Title IV-eligible institutions derive from federal funding, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and military tuition assistance benefits. As disclosed in the third party review report that has been made publicly available, Adtalem’s institutions have met this lower threshold for fiscal year 2018. Adtalem is committed to implementing measures to promote responsible recruitment and enrollment, successful student outcomes, and informed student choice. Management believes students deserve greater transparency to make informed choices about their education. This commitment builds upon a solid foundation and brings Adtalem to a new self-imposed level of public accountability and transparency.

Under the terms of Adtalem institutions’ participation in financial aid programs, certain cash received from state governments and ED is maintained in restricted bank accounts. Adtalem receives these funds either after the financial aid authorization and disbursement process for the benefit of the student is completed, or just prior to that authorization. Once the authorization and disbursement process for a particular student is completed, the funds may be transferred to unrestricted accounts and become available for Adtalem to use in operations. This process generally occurs during the academic term for which such funds have been authorized. Cash in the amount of $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million was held in restricted bank accounts at March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, respectively.

A financial responsibility test is required for continued participation by an institution’s students in U.S. federal financial assistance programs. For Adtalem’s participating institutions this test is calculated at the consolidated Adtalem level. The test is based upon a composite score of three ratios: an equity ratio that measures the institution’s capital resources; a primary reserve ratio that measures an institution’s ability to fund its operations from current resources; and a net income ratio that measures an institution’s ability to operate profitably. A minimum score of 1.5 is necessary to meet ED’s financial standards. Institutions with scores of less than 1.5 but greater than or equal to 1.0 are considered financially responsible, but require additional oversight. These schools are subject to heightened cash monitoring and other participation requirements. An institution with a score less than 1.0 is considered not financially responsible. However, a school with a score less than 1.0 may continue to participate in the Title IV programs under provisional certification. In addition, this lower score typically requires that the school be subject to heightened cash monitoring requirements and post a letter of credit (equal to a minimum of 10% of the Title IV aid it received in the institution's most recent fiscal year).

For the past several years, Adtalem’s composite score has exceeded the required minimum of 1.5. If Adtalem becomes unable to meet requisite financial responsibility standards or otherwise demonstrate, within the regulations, its ability to continue to provide educational services, then Adtalem could be subject to heightened cash monitoring or be required to post a letter of credit to enable its students to continue to participate in federal financial assistance programs.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

The following table provides a summary of cash flows from operations (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Net Income from Continuing Operations	$	83,964		$	16,961
Non-cash Items		113,778			99,807
Changes in Assets and Liabilities		(53,135	)		34,475
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities-Continuing Operations	$	144,607		$	151,243

Cash generated from operating activities for continuing operations in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 was $144.6 million compared to $151.2 million in the year-ago period. Net income from continuing operations increased by $67.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago period. The increase in non-cash items of $14.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the year-ago period was the result of the following:

An increase of $12.7 million in depreciation and write-offs of building, building improvements, leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment. This was primarily the result of recording $39.1 million in impairment write-downs of land, buildings and equipment at RUSM’s Dominica campus in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019, compared to $29.9 million in impairment write-downs of building, building improvements, furniture and equipment at AUC and RUSM from damage caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in the first nine months of fiscal year 2018.

An increase of $0.6 million in amortization of deferred debt issuance costs related to costs of the new Credit Agreement (defined herein).

A decrease of $2.2 million in provision for bad debts due to improved collections of accounts receivable primarily at Chamberlain.

A decrease of $1.1 million in stock-based compensation expense.

A decrease of $1.1 million in amortization expense of intangible assets.

An increase of $20.2 million in the deferred income tax provision related to the timing of deductions.

An increase in realized and unrealized loss on investments of $0.4 million.

An increase in insurance settlement gain of $15.6 million. This gain resulted from final settlement of hurricane claims which were in excess of expense recorded for hurricane related evacuation processes, temporary housing and transportation of students, faculty and staff, and incremental costs of teaching at alternative sites. The excess funds were applied against capital repairs and replacement, which requires classification of the proceeds as an investing activity.

Changes in Assets and Liabilities from June 30, 2018 consisted of the following:

The decrease in cash flows in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 due to changes in net prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and income taxes payable was $72.4 million more than the combined change in the year-ago period driven by a one-time Tax Reform and Jobs Act accrual of $101.2 million in the prior year partially offset by a $30.5 million insurance reimbursement receivable in the prior year. These one-time events do not reoccur in the current fiscal year. In the current fiscal year, the receipt of $20.1 million from the insurance reimbursement receivable was reclassified to investing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In addition, prepaid income taxes increased by $13.5 million in the current fiscal year compared to a decrease of $1.0 million in the year-ago period, related to the timing of income tax payments. Other offsets result in changes from the timing of the period-end relative to Adtalem’s payroll and bill payment cycles.

The decrease in cash flows in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 in combined accounts receivable (excluding the provisions for bad debts) and deferred revenue was $15.2 million larger than the combined decrease in the year-ago period. The main driver of this change was lower deferred revenue balances due to lower revenue at Adtalem Brazil and the timing of revenue recognition.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Capital expenditures in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 were $50.9 million compared to $50.4 million in the year-ago period. The capital expenditures include spending for relocating RUSM’s campus from Dominica to Barbados in fiscal year 2019 and hurricane-related spending to repair the AUC and RUSM-Dominica campuses mainly in fiscal year 2018.

Capital spending for the remainder of fiscal year 2019 will support continued investment at RUSM’s new Barbados campus, new campus development at Chamberlain and moderate facility improvements at Adtalem Brazil. Management anticipates full fiscal year 2019 capital spending to be approximately $65 million, including approximately $20 million to $25 million for the relocation of RUSM to Barbados.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, AUC and RUSM received the final insurance proceeds in settlement of claims made related to Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The total proceeds received from insurance settlements were in excess of expense recorded for hurricane-related evacuation processes, temporary housing and transportation of students, faculty and staff, and incremental costs of teaching at alternative sites, less deductibles. The resulting excess proceeds of $35.7 million were applied against asset damages and capital repairs and replacement, which requires classification of the gain as an investing activity.

On February 5, 2018, Adtalem completed the acquisition of a majority interest in EduPristine. Under the terms of the agreement, Adtalem agreed to pay approximately $3.2 million in cash, in exchange for stock of EduPristine, increasing Adtalem’s ownership share from 36% to 64%. This ownership percentage was increased to 69% with an additional equity investment of $1.3 million in March 2018. The payments for these additional investments were made in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. EduPristine is a training provider in India in the areas of finance, accounting, analytics, marketing and healthcare. The acquisition furthers Adtalem’s global growth strategy into professional education.

On November 1, 2017, Adtalem Brazil completed the acquisition of São Judas Tadeu (“SJT”). Under the terms of the agreement, Adtalem Brazil agreed to pay approximately $6.0 million in cash, in exchange for 100% of the stock of SJT. Approximately $1.0 million of payments were made in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, with additional aggregate payments of approximately $5.0 million required over the succeeding four years. SJT offers medical doctor specialty test preparation and currently serves approximately 2,700 students located in São Paulo. The acquisition of SJT added a new product offering to Adtalem Brazil’s test preparation business.

On December 4, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of its ownership of all the outstanding equity interests in U.S. Education Holdings LLC, the holding company of Carrington, to SJVC, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the MIPA, dated June 28, 2018. The equity interests were sold for deminimis consideration, subject to customary adjustments for working capital and required transfer of $9.9 million of cash and restricted cash balances in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

On December 11, 2018, Adtalem completed the sale of the equity interests of DeVry University to Cogswell under the terms of the purchase agreement dated December 4, 2017. The equity interests were sold for deminimis consideration, subject to customary adjustments for working capital and required transfer of $39.0 million of cash and restricted cash balances in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019. In connection with the completion of the sale, Adtalem loaned $10.0 million to DeVry University under the terms of the promissory note, dated December 11, 2018 (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable annually in arrears, and has a maturity date of January 1, 2022.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

The following table provides a summary of cash flows from financing activities (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Proceeds from Exercise of Stock Options	$	16,825		$	22,557
Repurchase of Common Stock for Treasury		(176,903	)		(111,626	)
Payments of Seller Financed Obligations		(2,154	)		(10,559	)
Net Payments Under Credit Facilities		(2,250	)		(5,000	)
Other		(6,106	)		(3,277	)
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities	$	(170,588	)	$	(107,905	)

Proceeds from Exercise of Stock Options - Cash received from option holders for price paid at time of exercise.

Repurchase of Common Stock for Treasury - Cash paid for the repurchase of Adtalem’s common stock.

Payments of Seller Financed Obligations - Adtalem has recorded liabilities for deferred purchase price agreements with sellers related to the acquisitions of Faculdade Diferencial Integral (“Facid”), Faculdade Ideal (“Faci”), Damasio, Grupo Ibmec Educacional S.A. (“Grupo Ibmec”), Faculdade de Imperatriz (“Facimp”) and SJT. This financing is in the form of holdbacks of a portion of the purchase price of these acquisitions or installment payments. Payments are made under these agreements based on payment schedules or the resolution of certain pre-acquisition contingencies.

Net Borrowings Under Credit Facilities - Net borrowings and repayments under its Prior Credit Facility and the new Credit Facility (see “Note 12: Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Historically, Adtalem has produced positive cash flows from operating activities sufficient to fund the delivery of its educational programs and services as well as to fund capital investment and share repurchases. As a result of the Tax Act, Adtalem has revised its intent to indefinitely reinvest accumulated cash balances, future cash flows and post-acquisition undistributed earnings and profits in foreign operations, and only intends to maintain this position with respect to cash balances, cash flows and accumulated and future earnings in Brazil. In accordance with this plan, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, cash held by all foreign subsidiaries except those in Brazil is available for general company purposes. The cash held in Brazil along with future cash flows from operating activities is sufficient to fund the Adtalem Brazil operations.

Management believes current balances of unrestricted cash, cash generated from operations and the Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund both Adtalem’s current domestic and international operations, growth plans, including the acquisition of OCL Financial Services, LLC (“OCL FS”), and current share repurchase program for the foreseeable future unless significant investment opportunities should arise. See “Note 15: Subsequent Event” to the Consolidated Financial statements for additional information on the OCL FS acquisition.

Other Contractual Arrangements

Adtalem’s long-term contractual obligations consist of its $600 million Credit Facility (discussed in “Note 12: Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements), operating leases on facilities and equipment and agreements for various services. In addition, Adtalem has recorded liabilities for deferred purchase price agreements with sellers related to acquisitions at Adtalem Brazil (discussed above).

In fiscal year 2018, Adtalem recorded a liability of $96.3 million for the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of foreign earnings, pursuant to the Tax Act. This amount was reduced to $14.4 million after utilization of current and prior year tax losses, and is payable over eight years. The first installment would have been due on September 15, 2018; however, no payments will be required until fiscal year 2021 as we utilize tax credits to offset the liability.

On December 11, 2018, Adtalem closed the sale of the equity interests of DeVry University to Cogswell under the terms of the purchase agreement dated December 4, 2017. In connection with the closing of the sale, Adtalem loaned to DeVry University $10.0 million under the terms of the Note. The Note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable annually in arrears and has a maturity date of January 1, 2022.

Adtalem is leasing to DeVry University and Carrington 6 facilities owned by Adtalem and subleasing 20 facilities, where Adtalem remains the primary lessee on the base leases. These lease and sublease agreements were entered into at current market rates. The terms of these leases and subleases range from one to seven years. Future minimum lease and sublease rental income under these agreements at March 31, 2019, are as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Year	Amount
2019 (excluding the nine months ended March 31, 2019)	$	6,304
2020		20,511
2021		15,508
2022		13,812
2023		13,489
Thereafter		18,068

Subject to certain conditions as set forth in the purchase agreement, through December 11, 2020, DeVry University is permitted to put back to Adtalem subleased space to the extent Adtalem’s expenses, which consist of lost rent associated with the remaining term of Adtalem’s lease for any such subleased space and certain capital expenditures incurred in connection with repurposing or otherwise readying and such subleased space leasable to a third-party, do not exceed $4.0 million.

Adtalem also assigned certain leases to DeVry University and Carrington but remains contingently liable under these leases.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

Adtalem is not a party to any off-balance sheet financing or contingent payment arrangements, nor are there any unconsolidated subsidiaries. Adtalem has not extended any loans to any officer, director or other affiliated person. Adtalem has not entered into any synthetic leases, and there are no residual purchase or value commitments related to any facility lease. Adtalem did not enter into any derivatives, swaps, futures contracts, calls, hedges or non-exchange traded contracts during the first nine months of fiscal year 2019. Adtalem had no open derivative positions at March 31, 2019.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes in the Company’s Critical Accounting Estimates, as disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see “Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Adtalem is not dependent upon the price levels, nor affected by fluctuations in pricing, of any particular commodity or group of commodities. However, more than 50% of Adtalem’s costs are in the form of wages and benefits. Changes in employment market conditions or escalations in employee benefit costs could cause Adtalem to experience cost increases at levels beyond what it has historically experienced.

The financial position and results of operations of AUC, RUSM and RUSVM Caribbean operations are measured using the U.S. dollar or local currencies with an exchange rate pegged to the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Substantially all of these financial transactions are denominated in the U.S. dollar.

The financial position and results of operations of Adtalem Brazil operations are measured using the Brazilian Real as the functional currency. Adtalem Brazil has not entered into any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services, other than the lease agreements on teaching facilities and contingencies relating to prior acquisitions. Currently, Adtalem does not have any foreign exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments designed to mitigate changes in the value of the Brazilian Real. Brazilian-based assets constitute 26.0% of Adtalem’s overall assets, and Adtalem’s Brazilian liabilities constitute 8.3% of overall liabilities. The value of the Brazilian Real has been volatile in relation to the U.S. dollar over the past several years. The value averaged about 16% lower in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019 compared to the first nine months of fiscal year 2018. Based upon the current value of the net assets in Adtalem Brazil’s operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Brazilian Real results in a translation adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of approximately $16.7 million. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2019, the lower value of the Brazilian Real also resulted in lower U.S. translated revenue and operating income compared to the year-ago period.

The interest rate on Adtalem’s Credit Facility is based upon LIBOR or a LIBOR-equivalent rate for Eurocurrency rate loans or a base rate for periods typically ranging from one to three months. As of March 31, 2019, Adtalem had $297.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the Term B Loan with a weighted average interest rate of 5.50%. Based upon borrowings of $297.8 million, a 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would result in $3.0 million of additional annual interest expense.

Adtalem’s customers are principally individual students enrolled in its various educational programs. Accordingly, concentration of accounts receivable credit risk is small relative to total revenue and accounts receivable. However, the Adtalem Brazil FIES accounts receivable balance has remained elevated for the past several years due to changes in government funding of the program. As of March 31, 2019, June 30, 2018 and March 31, 2018, the FIES accounts receivable balance was $22.8 million, $35.9 million and $34.5 million, respectively.

Adtalem’s cash is held in accounts at various large, financially secure depository institutions. Although the amount on deposit at a given institution typically will exceed amounts subject to guarantee, Adtalem has not experienced any deposit losses to date, nor does management expect to incur such losses in the future.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer Certificates

The required compliance certificates signed by Adtalem’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are included as Exhibits 31 and 32 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to help ensure that all the information required to be disclosed in Adtalem’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the applicable rules and forms.

Adtalem’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Adtalem’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Adtalem files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Adtalem’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Adtalem’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

For a discussion of legal proceedings, see “Note 13: Commitments and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, the factors discussed in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” in Adtalem’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, which could materially affect Adtalem’s business, financial condition or future results, should be carefully considered. Such risks are not the only risks facing Adtalem. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to Adtalem or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results. There have been no material changes to Adtalem’s risk factors since its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

At the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on November 9, 2005, the Company’s stockholders approved the DeVry Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) that authorized 200,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the ESPP, effective January 1, 2006. The ESPP provided for monthly purchase dates on the last business day of each month beginning January 2006 and purchases at a 5% discount to fair market value on such date. The ESPP was an amendment and restatement of a prior DeVry Inc. employee stock purchase plan that was effective August 1, 1993. On December 22, 2005, the Company registered 200,000 shares common stock that were authorized under the ESPP on a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Reg. No. 333-130604).

From January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2019, eligible ESPP participants purchased 450,095 shares of common stock under the ESPP at purchase prices ranging from $16.41 to $61.94 per share. Of the total shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP from January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2019, the Company inadvertently issued 250,095 shares of common stock that were not registered under federal securities laws and not authorized under the ESPP. Under the applicable provisions of federal securities laws, plan participants who purchased unregistered shares of common stock may seek to rescind the transaction within one year following the date of purchase, which is the applicable federal statute of limitation. The last potential rescission rights related to the shares of common stock held by the original purchasers expires by the statute of limitations on February 28, 2020. As of March 31, 2019, approximately 13,700 shares were subject to rescission rights.

The Company believes its potential liability, if any, with respect to shares of common stock subject to rescission rights and still held by the original purchasers is not material to the Company.

Although the 250,095 shares of common stock purchased by ESPP participants through the ESPP were not registered prior to such purchase, ESPP participants may resell all such shares pursuant to Rule 144.

The Company terminated the ability to purchase shares of common stock under the ESPP and the last purchase made through the ESPP was on February 28, 2019. The Company is in the process of implementing a new employee stock purchase plan and submitting the new plan for stockholder approval at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders to be held in November 2019.
