2011 and 2010 resulted from net income plus non cash charges for provision for bad debts,
depreciation and amortization, non-capitalizable system costs, share-based compensation, and
changes in working capital, and in the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2011, cash provided by operating
activities has been reduced by $5.2&nbsp;million related to the payment in connection with the <I>qui tam</I>
matter. Capital expenditures in 2011 of $38.3&nbsp;million were primarily related to ground campus
building projects such as a new dormitory and events arena to support our increasing traditional
ground student
enrollment as well as purchases of computer equipment, other internal use software projects and
furniture and equipment. Capital expenditures in 2010 of $22.4&nbsp;million primarily consisted of
ground campus building projects, purchases of computer equipment, and software costs to complete
our transition from Datatel to Campus Vue and Great Plains, other internal use software projects,
furniture and equipment to support our increasing student enrollment. In the first six months of
2010, we had a $27.4&nbsp;million increase in restricted cash associated with our transition to a
&#147;borrower-based, non-term&#148; or &#147;BBAY&#148; financial aid system. During the first six months of 2011,
$23.7&nbsp;million of cash used in financing activities was primarily related to $22.4&nbsp;million used to
purchase treasury stock in accordance with the University&#146;s share repurchase program and principal
payments on notes payable and capital leases totaled $1.9&nbsp;million. During the first six months of
2010 cash provided by financing activities was nil as proceeds from the exercise of stock options
and the excess tax benefits from share-based compensation were offset by principal payments on
notes payable and capital lease obligations.

events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results
to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to: our failure to
comply with the extensive regulatory framework applicable to our industry, including Title IV of
the Higher Education Act and the regulations thereunder, state laws and regulatory requirements,
and accrediting commission requirements; the results of the ongoing program review being conducted
by the Department of Education of our compliance with Title IV program requirements, and possible
fines or other administrative sanctions resulting therefrom; the ability of our students to obtain
federal Title IV funds, state financial aid, and private financing; risks associated with changes
in applicable federal and state laws and regulations and accrediting commission standards,
including pending rulemaking by the Department of Education; potential damage to our reputation or
other adverse effects as a result of negative publicity in the media, in the industry or in
connection with governmental reports or investigations or otherwise, affecting us or other
companies in the for-profit postsecondary education sector; our ability to hire and train new, and
develop and train existing, enrollment counselors; the pace of growth of our enrollment; our
ability to convert prospective students to enrolled students and to retain active students; our
success in updating and expanding the content of existing programs and developing new programs in a
cost-effective manner or on a timely basis; industry competition, including competition for
qualified executives and other personnel; risks associated with the competitive environment for
marketing our programs; failure on our part to keep up with advances in technology that could
enhance the online experience for our students; the extent to which obligations under our loan
agreement, including the need to comply with restrictive and financial covenants and to pay
principal and interest payments, limits our ability to conduct our operations or seek new business

<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>GRAND CANYON EDUCATION, INC.</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>Adjusted EBITDA</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense net of interest income, plus income
tax expense, and plus depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as adjusted for (i)&nbsp;royalty payments
incurred pursuant to an agreement with our former owner that has been terminated as of April&nbsp;15,
2008; (ii)&nbsp;contributions to Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of state income taxes,
which we typically make in the fourth quarter of a fiscal year; (iii)&nbsp;exit costs, if any; (iv)
contract termination fees, if any and (v)&nbsp;share-based compensation. We present Adjusted EBITDA
because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. We
also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our operating performance, as measured
by Adjusted EBITDA, and our loan agreement requires us to comply with covenants that include
performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA. All of the adjustments made in our
calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are adjustments to items that management does not consider to be
reflective of our core operating performance. Management considers our core operating performance
to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period through their management
of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that
period. Royalty expenses paid to our former owner, contributions made to Arizona school tuition
organizations in lieu of the payment of state income taxes, estimated litigation losses, exit
costs, share-based compensation, and contract termination fees are not considered reflective of our
core performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">We believe Adjusted EBITDA allows us to compare our current operating results with
corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our
industry because it does not give effect to potential differences caused by variations in capital
structures (affecting relative interest expense, including the impact of write-offs of deferred
financing costs when companies refinance their indebtedness), tax positions (such as the impact on
periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), the book
amortization of intangibles (affecting relative amortization expense), and other items that we do
not consider reflective of underlying operating performance. We also present Adjusted EBITDA
because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested
parties as a measure of performance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt; text-indent: 4%">In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, investors should be aware that in the future we may incur
expenses similar to the adjustments described above. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should
not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by expenses that are
unusual, non-routine, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and
you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or
any other performance measure derived in accordance with and reported under GAAP or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. Some of these
limitations are that it does not reflect:

<DIV align="justify" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">In addition, other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate these
measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative
measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute
for net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP,
or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. We
compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA
only supplementally.
