“In the fourth quarter we continued to see evidence that our strategies to strengthen our company are working,” said Chairman and Interim CEO Ron McCray. “Fiscal year 2014 was an important year of operating stabilization for our business, and we’re beginning to see clear indications that our evolving portfolio of academic offerings is beginning to align more closely with our students’ needs, as evidenced by online student enrollment growth in our University segments. We managed to reduce costs across the Company by more than $100 million throughout the course of the year, and our enhanced operating and financial profile has positioned us for additional performance improvements in fiscal year 2015.”

As a reminder, the Company announced in mid-December 2014 that it was pursuing the divestiture of its Le Cordon Bleu North America colleges of culinary arts. As a result, all financial results reported within our consolidated financial statements have been recast to include these operations as an asset held for sale within discontinued operations.

The Company assesses results of operations for ongoing operations, which excludes the Transitional Group, separately from the Transitional Group and campuses that have closed or are held for sale.
