COCO Vita Coco Company Inc

Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (Nasdaq:COCO) reported financial results today for the third quarter ended March 31, 2013. Results for the quarter were within the company's previous guidance ranges for revenue, earnings per share, and new student enrollment.

"During the third quarter we continued to focus on student outcomes and initiatives to increase our student population, improve operational efficiency, and diversify revenue," said Jack Massimino, Corinthian's chairman and chief executive officer. "Excluding the impact of losing Ability-to-Benefit (ATB) students, our new enrollments were up slightly in the quarter and our student population has been stabilizing relative to our peers over the last few quarters."

"Total new student enrollment was down 5.7%, primarily due to the loss of ATB students in the Everest ground schools," Massimino said. "In addition, new Online Learning student enrollments declined slightly quarter over quarter, as we continue to work through staffing, technology and workflow process issues in Online admissions and student finance."

"We are pursuing a number of initiatives to achieve more consistent growth," Massimino said. "We implemented 42 new programs at 20 campuses during the quarter, and our GED program enrollment continues to grow. We believe the GED program will benefit the communities we serve and has the potential to help increase our campus enrollments over time. In addition, in recent months there have been a substantial number of competitor school closures in our service areas. Given macroeconomic and other factors, we expect to see more industry consolidation in the months ahead. We will continue to work with regulators and school companies to accept and serve transfer students related to such closures."

Comparing the third quarter of fiscal 2013 with the same quarter of the prior year (Note: results for continuing operations only):

• Net revenue was $400.2 million versus $407.9 million, a decrease of 1.9%.
• Total student population at March 31, 2013 was 87,776 versus 93,620 at March 31, 2012, a decrease of 6.2%.
• New student enrollments totaled 26,738 versus 28,355, a decrease of 5.7%.
• Non-ATB new student enrollments totaled 26,374 versus 26,042, an increase of 1.3%.
• Operating income was $12.6 million, compared with operating income of $27.5 million, which excludes $1.3 million and $3.2 million in impairment and severance charges in Q3 13and Q3 12, respectively.
• Income from continuing operations (after tax) was $3.1 million, compared with $13.6 million, excluding impairment and severance charges in both periods. 
• Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.04, versus diluted earnings per share of $0.16, excluding impairment and severance charges in both periods.

Financial Review 

Educational services expenses were 60.9% of revenue in Q3 13 versus 59.5% in Q3 12. The increase was primarily due to an increase in bad debt. Bad debt increased to 3.4% of revenue in Q3 13 versus 2.5% of revenue in Q3 12, due to systems conversion issues.   

Marketing and admissions expenses were 25.7% of revenue in Q3 13 versus 24.2% in Q3 12. The increase is primarily the result of higher advertising and lead generation expenses per new enrollment.

General and administrative expenses were 10.2% of revenue in Q3 13 versus 9.6% in Q3 12. The increase is primarily due to an increase in professional services expenses. 

The operating margin was 3.2% in Q3 13 versus 6.8% in Q3 12, excluding impairment and severance charges in both time periods.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $43.9 million at March 31, 2013, compared with $72.5 million at June 30, 2012.  The decrease in cash is primarily due to the net repayment of borrowings under our credit facility, partially offset by the timing of cash receipts and payments.

Debt and capital leases (including current portion) totaled $30.7 million at March 31, 2013, compared with $149.0 million at June 30, 2012. The decrease is due to the net repayment of borrowings under our credit facility. 

Cash flow from operations was $128.8 million in the first nine months of FY 13, versus $195.7 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease is primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and payments. 

Capital expenditures were $28.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2013, versus $31.0 million in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily the result of opening fewer new campuses.
