CAREER EDUCATION CORPORATION REPORTS RESULTS FOR 2006 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR

Company Also Announces Operational Realignment To Increase Efficiency and Market Responsiveness

Career Education Corporation (NASDAQ: CECO) today reported consolidated revenue from continuing operations of $429.1 million and net income from continuing operations of $39.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. For the full year 2006, consolidated revenue from continuing operations was $1.79 billion and net income from continuing operations was $94.8 million. The company also reported that is has undertaken a business realignment designed to capitalize on the company’s online expertise across the organization, streamline decision making, and reduce redundancies.

“Our quarterly results continued to be negatively affected by a number of near-term factors. The board and management of Career Education Corporation took steps during the quarter to address these issues, and help better position the company to achieve its long-term potential” said Bob Dowdell, Career Education’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. “Career Education will move forward with a more efficient and functional infrastructure, and a strong cash position and balance sheet. We are confident that the operational initiatives we implemented during the past several months will allow us to cost-effectively leverage our assets to build long-term value.”

As previously reported, in November 2006, the company announced its decision to sell 13 of its schools and campuses, including the nine campuses that comprise the Gibbs division, McIntosh College, the two campuses of Brooks College (Long Beach and Sunnyvale), and Lehigh Valley College. The results of these 13 schools and campuses are noted in all presentations as discontinued operations. Except as otherwise noted, financial data and non-financial metrics reflected in this release exclude discontinued operations.




RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended December 31, 2006

·                                          Consolidated revenue was $429.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2006, a 10.5 percent decrease from consolidated revenue of $479.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2005. Revenue generated by the University segment’s fully-online platforms decreased 22.9 percent during the fourth quarter of 2006, to $130.5 million, from $169.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2005.

·                                          Consolidated income from operations declined to $46.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2006, from $109.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2005. Operating profit margin percentage was 10.8 percent during the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to an operating profit margin percentage of 22.8 percent during the fourth quarter of 2005. The decrease in operating profit margin percentage was primarily due to:

(1) an unfavorable mix change resulting in disproportionately larger revenue declines in our University segment, which produced the highest operating profit margins in 2005,

(2) a decrease in operating profit margin percentage generated by our University segment, driven by lower revenue, increased administrative expenses, and the disproportionate growth of CTU Online, which operates at a lower operating profit margin percentage than that of AIU Online,

(3) price decreases in our AIU Online associate degree programs,

(4) severance costs,

(5) equity compensation costs associated with the 2006 adoption of SFAS 123R, and

(6) increased occupancy expense and other fixed costs as a percentage of revenue due to declines in revenue.

The decrease in operating profit margin percentage was offset, in part, by a decrease in bad debt expense as a percentage of revenue.

The University segment’s fully-online platforms’ income from operations declined to $28.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2006, from $61.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2005.

·                                          Consolidated net income from continuing operations during the fourth quarter of 2006 was $39.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to consolidated net income from continuing operations of $73.7 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, during the fourth quarter of 2005. Fourth quarter 2006 consolidated net income from continuing operations includes a non-cash charge for share-based compensation expense of $1.5 million, net of tax benefit of $0.8 million, or $0.016 per diluted share and a $2.7 million, net of tax benefit of $1.4 million, or $0.028 per diluted share charge for future cash




payments related to severance payable to the company’s former Chairman, John M. Larson under a previously negotiated employment contract. Share-based compensation expense recorded during the fourth quarter of 2005, prior to our adoption of SFAS 123R, was insignificant.

Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2006

·                                          Consolidated revenue was $1.79 billion during 2006, compared to consolidated revenue of $1.83 billion during 2005. Revenue generated by the University segment’s fully-online platforms decreased 1.1 percent, to $658.6 million during 2006, from $666.1 million during 2005.

·                                          Consolidated income from operations decreased to $166.5 million during 2006, from $385.8 million during 2005. Operating income margin percentage decreased to 9.3 percent during 2006, from 21.1 percent during 2005. Consolidated 2006 income from operations includes goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges of $86.3 million, pre-tax, attributable to our Health Education division, share-based compensation expense, and severance costs (see table below).

The University segment’s fully-online platforms’ income from operations declined to $215.2 million during 2006, from $263.1 million during 2005. The decrease in the University segment’s fully-online platforms’ income from operations is primarily attributable to the adverse impact on student population and revenue of AIU’s probation status, and the cost and effect of changes adopted in response to recommendations made by AIU’s accrediting body.

The University segment’s fully-online platforms’ operating profit margin percentage decreased to 32.7 percent during 2006, from 39.5 percent during 2005. The decrease in the University segment’s operating profit margin percentage is primarily a result of the adverse impact on revenue of AIU’s probation status and the disproportionate growth of CTU Online, which operates at a lower operating profit margin percentage than that of AIU Online.

·                                          Consolidated net income from continuing operations during 2006 was $94.8 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to consolidated net income from continuing operations of $250.4 million, or $2.42 per diluted share, during 2005. Consolidated net income from continuing operations during 2006 includes the following non-cash and unusual items (in millions, except per share data):

(1) This amount includes share-based compensation expense of approximately $1.7 million attributable to modifications made during the fourth quarter of 2006 to options held by the company’s former Chairman, John M. Larson.

(2) Severance expense represents future cash severance payments payable to the company’s former Chairman, John M. Larson.

(3) The company estimates that only $7.9 million of the Health Education division goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge will be deductible for income tax reporting purposes.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES FOR CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Provision for income taxes during 2006 was $92.7 million, compared to provision for income taxes during 2005 of $149.6 million. This represents an effective income tax rate of 49.5 percent for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006. The unusual relationship between income before provision for income taxes and provision for income taxes for 2006 is attributable to the company’s estimation that only $7.9 million of the total $86.3 million Health Education division goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges recognized during 2006 will be deductible for income tax reporting purposes. Excluding the effect of the Health Education goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, the company’s effective income tax rate for 2006 was 35.0 percent, compared to an effective income tax rate of 37.4 percent in 2005.

RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

A loss from discontinued operations of $48.2 million was recorded during 2006 associated with our 13 schools and campuses currently held for sale. The total $48.2 million loss includes 2006 operating losses of $25.5 million, net of income tax benefit of $13.5 million, an acceleration of rent expense for excess and unused leased space recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006 of $6.0 million, net of income tax benefit of $3.2 million, a goodwill impairment charge related to the Gibbs division of $6.8 million, net of income tax benefit of $3.6 million, recorded during the first quarter of 2006, and a charge of $9.8, net of income tax benefit of $5.2 million, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2006 to reduce the carrying value of net assets held for sale to fair value less costs to sell.

CASH FLOWS AND FINANCIAL POSITION FOR CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Cash Flows

·                                          Net cash provided by operating activities was $240.9 million




during 2006, compared to $371.4 million during 2005. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decrease in net income during 2006.

·                                          Capital expenditures decreased to $69.3 million during 2006, from $112.3 million during 2005. Capital expenditures represented 3.9 percent of consolidated revenue during 2006 and 6.1 percent of consolidated revenue during 2005.

Financial Position

·                                          As of December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, cash and cash equivalents and investments totaled $447.8 million and $401.4 million, respectively. This increase is primarily attributable to cash generated by operating activities during 2006, offset by stock repurchases.

·                                          Quarterly days sales outstanding (DSO) were 12 days as of December 31, 2006, which is consistent with DSO as of December 31, 2005, of 12 days.

Stock Repurchase Program

Since July 2005, CEC’s Board of Directors has authorized the use of a total of $500.2 million to repurchase outstanding shares of the company’s common stock. Stock repurchases under this program may be made on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time, depending on factors including market conditions and corporate and regulatory requirements. The stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, the company repurchased 1.7 million shares of its common stock for approximately $41.3 million at an average price of $25.01 per share. During 2006, the company repurchased 5.6 million shares of its common stock for approximately $166.1 million at an average price of $30.20 per share.

Since the inception of the program, the company has repurchased 10.8 million shares of its common stock for approximately $366.3 million at an average price of $34.00 per share.

ACQUISITION

On January 25, 2007, the company acquired Istituto Marangoni, a world-renowned post secondary fashion and design school with locations in three prominent international fashion capitals.

RECENT INITIATIVES

During the past several months, the company executed on several measures as part of a strategic plan to better focus the business, increase efficiency and profitability, and ensure that the company’s priorities align with those of its students. These initiatives included the following:

·                                          Career Education has developed an Online Service Center to leverage significant online and on-ground capabilities to provide students at all of its schools with more flexible educational delivery options.

·                                          The company is completing a corporate realignment that will facilitate more consistent customer-focused decision making by reducing redundancies and streamlining the decision- making process.

·                                          The company continues to implement measures that are having a positive impact to admissions productivity, including its




supplemental compensation program for admissions representatives, extended payment plans for students, a process for better qualification of leads, and a greater focus on referrals.

·                                          The company continues to focus on and build its strengths in “careers of passion.” On November 11, 2006, the company announced that it intends to sell 13 schools and campuses, including the entire Gibbs segment and select schools in the Colleges segment. By focusing on areas where Career Education has the greatest competitive advantages and proven success, the company can more effectively prepare students for careers they are passionate about through its high-quality boutique schools, gold-standard brands, and flexible student-centered product offerings.

·                                          Similarly, the company is opening start-up campuses and has made an International acquisition consistent with its focus on premier schools and careers of passion.

“The significant steps we have taken over the last two quarters to realign and focus our business should both position the company in the short term as an innovative leader in the delivery of high-quality post-secondary education and have a significant impact on student population over the long term,” said Dowdell. “We continue to be committed to delivering value over the long term for our students, employees, and stockholders.”
