CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor from civil liability provided for such statements by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation and availability of resources and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. From time to time, we also provide forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public as well as verbal forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “predicts,” “potential” and similar expressions (including the negative form of such expressions) intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions, do not strictly relate to historical or current facts, any of which may not prove to be accurate. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in our forward-looking statements include, without limitation:
•failure of our schools to comply with the extensive regulatory requirements for school operations;
•our failure to maintain eligibility for federal student financial assistance funds;
•continued Congressional examination of the for-profit education sector;
•a disruption in our ability to access federal student financial assistance funds;
•regulatory investigations of, or actions commenced against, us or other companies in our industry;
•the effect of public health pandemics, epidemics or outbreak, including COVID-19;
•changes in the state regulatory environment or budgetary constraints;
•our failure to realize the expected benefits of our acquisition of MIAT College of Technology;
•our failure to successfully integrate MIAT College of Technology’s program offerings into our current program offerings;
•our failure to improve underutilized capacity at certain of our campuses;
•enrollment declines or challenges in our students’ ability to find employment as a result of macroeconomic conditions;
•our failure to maintain and expand existing industry relationships and develop new industry relationships with our industry customers;
•our ability to update and expand the content of existing programs and develop and integrate new programs in a cost-effective manner while maintaining positive student outcomes;
•our failure to effectively identify, establish and operate additional schools, programs or campuses;
•the effect of our principal stockholder owning a significant percentage of our capital stock, and thus being able to influence certain corporate matters and the potential in the future to gain substantial control over our company;
•the impact of certain holders of our Series A Preferred Stock owning a significant percentage of our capital stock, their ability to influence and control certain corporate matters and the potential for future dilution to holders of our common stock;
•loss of our senior management or other key employees;
•failure to comply with the restrictive covenants and our ability to pay the amounts when due under the Credit Agreement; and
•risks related to other factors discussed in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 2, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
The factors above are not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that could impact our business. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and potentially inaccurate assumptions. Many events beyond our control may determine
ii

Table of Contents
whether results we anticipate will be achieved. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could differ materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the factors discussed under Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking statements.
Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the document containing the applicable statement. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the documents that we incorporate by reference herein, by these cautionary statements. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Note 1 - Nature of the Business
Founded in 1965, with approximately 250,000 graduates in its history, Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (“we,” “us” or “our”) is a leading provider of transportation and technical training programs. As of June 30, 2022, we offered certificate, diploma or degree programs at 15 campuses across the United States under the banner of several well-known brands, including Universal Technical Institute (“UTI”), Motorcycle Mechanics Institute and Marine Mechanics Institute (collectively, “MMI”), NASCAR Technical Institute (“NASCAR Tech”), and MIAT College of Technology (“MIAT”). Additionally, we offer manufacturer specific advanced training (“MSAT”) programs, including student-paid electives, at our campuses and manufacturer or dealer sponsored training at certain campuses and dedicated training centers.
We work closely with over 35 original equipment manufacturers and industry brand partners to understand their needs for qualified service professionals. Revenues generated from our schools consist primarily of tuition and fees paid by students. To pay for a substantial portion of their tuition, the majority of students rely on funds received from federal financial aid programs under Title IV Programs of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (“HEA”), as well as from various veterans’ benefits programs. For further discussion, see Note 21 on “Government Regulation and Financial Aid” included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 2, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
We offer the majority of our programs in a blended learning model that combines instructor-facilitated online teaching and demonstrations with hands-on labs. This blended learning format has allowed us to continue to offer our programs to our students during the COVID-19 pandemic and aligns with an increasing trend of online education being offered as individuals seek more flexibility and life-long learning opportunities. On-campus labs are designed to meet or exceed the current national guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) as well as state and local mandates, while still meeting our accreditation and curriculum requirements.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2022. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Other than described below, there have been no material changes or developments in our significant accounting policies or evaluation of accounting estimates and underlying assumptions or methodologies from those disclosed in Note 2 of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
New Significant Accounting Policy for Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of August 1, or more frequently if events and circumstances warrant. Under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, to evaluate the impairment of goodwill, we first assess qualitative factors, such as deterioration in the operating performance of the acquired business, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in the applicable laws or regulations and a variety of other circumstances, to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. To evaluate the impairment of

(Unaudited)
the indefinite-lived intangible assets, we assess the fair value of the assets to determine whether they were greater or less than the carrying values. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount based on our qualitative assessment, or that a qualitative assessment should not be performed, we proceed with the quantitative impairment tests to compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of its net assets. Determining the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We believe the most critical assumptions and estimates in determining the estimated fair value of our reporting units include, but are not limited to, future tuition revenues, operating costs, working capital changes, capital expenditures and a discount rate. The assumptions used in determining our expected future cash flows consider various factors such as historical operating trends particularly in student enrollment and pricing and long-term operating strategies and initiatives. There were no indicators of impairment for our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2022.
We also have definite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist of purchased intangibles and capitalized curriculum development costs. The definite-lived intangible assets are recognized at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the related assets.
See Note 8 and Note 9 for additional details on our goodwill and intangible assets.
Reclassifications
Due to the acquisition of MIAT on November 1, 2021, which is described in further detail in Note 4, we added a new line to the condensed consolidated balance sheet: “Intangible Assets.” We have presented the intangible assets arising from the MIAT acquisition as well as the previously recorded intangible assets in this line. As of September 30, 2021, $0.1 million of intangible assets was reclassified from “Other assets” to “Intangible assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for comparable presentation.
Note 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective in Fiscal 2022
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. We have evaluated the new guidance and determined that there is no material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or financial statement disclosures.
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). The amendments in ASU 2021-08 require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers (“ASC 606”). At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASC 606 as if it had originated the contracts. To achieve this, an acquirer may assess how the acquiree applied ASC 606 to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contracts. Generally, this should result in an acquirer recognizing and measuring the acquired contract assets and contract liabilities consistent with how they were recognized and measured in the acquiree’s financial statements (if the acquiree financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2021-08 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU 2021-08 is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity that early adopts in an interim period should apply the amendments (1) retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of early application and (2) prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. Due to the MIAT acquisition on November 1, 2021, we have elected to early adopt ASU 2021-08 as of October 1, 2021 and have applied the guidance in ASU 2021-08 to the deferred revenue recorded for MIAT. See Note 4 for further information on the acquisition of MIAT.

Other
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. This new guidance only applies to contracts and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 do not apply to contract modifications made after December 31, 2022. Given the interest rate for our term loan (which is further described in Note 13) references LIBOR, we are currently evaluating the new reference rate reform practical expedients and will consider adopting this guidance when we are required to modify our contract for the discontinuation of LIBOR.
Note 4 - Acquisition of MIAT College of Technology
On November 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition contemplated by the previously announced Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated March 29, 2021, by and among UTI, HCP Ed Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), HCP Ed Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Seller (“HCP”), and Michigan Institute of Aeronautics, Inc. d/b/a MIAT, a Michigan corporation and wholly subsidiary of HCP. MIAT is a post-secondary school that offers vocational and technical certificates and degrees across aviation maintenance, energy technology, wind energy technology, robotics and automation, non-destructive testing, heating ventilation air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVACR”), and welding disciplines. HCP is MIAT’s holding company that owns no assets other than the issued and outstanding shares of MIAT.
The acquisition is part of our growth and diversification strategy and will allow us to expand MIAT programs throughout UTI brand campuses and extend UTI’s presence and programs into the Canton, MI market where MIAT has been for over 50 years. Other expected synergies include operating and purchasing cost efficiencies and broadening the opportunity for student growth at the acquired MIAT campuses by leveraging our high school and national marketing and admissions infrastructure.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of HCP from the Seller for $26.0 million base purchase price plus $2.8 million working capital surplus for total cash consideration paid of $28.8 million. As a result, HCP is now a wholly owned subsidiary of UTI and MIAT remains as a wholly owned subsidiary of HCP. The consideration paid was funded by available operating cash.
In connection with this acquisition, we incurred total transaction costs of $1.7 million of which $0.9 million were incurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and $0.8 million during the year ended September 30, 2021. In both periods, these costs are included in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations for MIAT were not material to our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022.
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on our preliminary valuation estimates of the fair values as of the acquisition date. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, adjustments were made related to the acquired deferred tax liabilities, right-of-use assets for operating leases and other assets, which adjusted the value of the goodwill acquired. The acquisition accounting allocation is based upon the information available as of the date of this filing and there could be further adjustments related to taxes as we continue our analysis under the provisions of ASC 805 which allows companies one year to complete acquisition related adjustments, which may result in potential adjustments to the carrying value of the respective recorded assets and liabilities, and the determination of any residual amount that will be allocated to goodwill.

The adjusted allocation of the purchase price at November 1, 2021 is summarized as follows:

Assets acquired: |  |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 2,301 |
Accounts receivable, net |  | 3,230 |
Prepaid expenses |  | 268 |
Other current assets |  | 507 |

Goodwill |  | 8,637 |
Intangible assets |  | 16,200 |
Right-of-use assets for operating leases |  | 14,979 |
Other assets |  | 314 |
Total assets acquired |  | $ | 49,479 |
Less: Liabilities assumed |  |
Accounts payable and accrued expenses |  | $ | 1,720 |
Deferred revenue |  | 1,843 |
Operating lease liability, current portion |  | 817 |
Deferred tax liabilities, net |  | 1,975 |
Operating lease liability |  | 14,216 |
Other liabilities |  | 93 |
Total liabilities assumed |  | 20,664 |
Net assets acquired |  | $ | 28,815 |

The goodwill of $8.6 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the growth and operating synergies expected from integrating MIAT into UTI. The total amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is approximately $0.6 million. See Note 8 for additional details on goodwill.
The purchase price allocation requires subjective estimates that, if incorrectly estimated, could be material to our consolidated financial statements including the amount of depreciation and amortization expense. The fair value of the tangible assets was estimated using the cost approach. The intangible assets acquired, which primarily consists of the accreditations and regulatory approvals, trademarks and trade names, and curriculum, were valued using different valuation techniques depending upon the nature of the intangible asset acquired. The accreditations and regulatory approvals were valued using the multiperiod excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) under the income approach. The MPEEM is a variation of discounted cash-flow analysis. Rather than focusing on the whole entity, the MPEEM isolates the cash flows that can be associated with a single intangible asset and measures fair value by discounting them to present value. The trademarks and trade names were valued using the relief from royalty method. The value of the trade name encompasses all items necessary to generate revenue utilizing the trade name. The curriculum was valued using the cost approach. See Note 9 for further details on the intangible assets recorded. As previously discussed in Note 3, we early adopted ASU 2021-08 and applied the new guidance when recording the initial deferred revenue.
Pro forma financial information is not presented as the fiscal 2021 revenues and earnings of MIAT are not material to our condensed consolidated statements of operations. MIAT’s principal business is providing postsecondary education and is included in our “Postsecondary Education” reporting unit disclosed in Note 19 on Segments. MIAT’s corporate expenses are allocated to “Postsecondary Education” and the “Other” category based on compensation expense.

Note 5 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Nature of Goods and Services
Postsecondary Education
Revenues consist primarily of student tuition and fees derived from the programs we provide after reductions are made for discounts and scholarships that we sponsor and for refunds for students who withdraw from our programs prior to specified dates. We apply the five-step model outlined in ASC 606. Tuition and fee revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the course or program offered. The majority of our UTI programs are designed to be completed in 36 to 90 weeks while our MIAT programs are completed in 30 to 104 weeks. Our advanced training programs range from 12 to 23 weeks in duration. We supplement our revenues with sales of textbooks and program supplies and other revenues, which are recognized as the transfer of goods or services occurs. Deferred revenue represents the excess of tuition and fee payments received as compared to tuition and fees earned and is reflected as a current liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets because it is expected to be earned within the next 12 months.
Additionally, certain students participate in a proprietary loan program that extends repayment terms for their tuition. We purchase said loans from the lender and, based on historical collection rates, believe a portion of these loans are collectible. Accordingly, we recognize tuition and loan origination fees financed by the loan and any related interest revenue under the effective interest method required under the loan based on the amount we expect to collect, and we recognize these revenues ratably over the term of the course or program offered.
Other
We provide dealer technician training or instructor staffing services to manufacturers. Revenues are recognized as transfer of the services occurs.
We provide postsecondary education and other services in the same geographical market, the United States. The impact of economic factors on the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows is consistent among our various postsecondary education programs. See Note 19 for disaggregated segment revenue information.
Contract Balances
Contract assets primarily relate to our rights to consideration for a student’s progress through our training program in relation to our services performed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional. Currently, we do not have any contract assets that have not transferred to a receivable. Our deferred revenue is considered a contract liability and primarily relates to our enrollment agreements where we received payments for tuition, but we have not yet delivered the related training programs to satisfying the related performance obligations. The advance consideration received from students or Title IV funding is deferred revenue until the training program has been delivered to the students.
The following table provides information about receivables and deferred revenue resulting from our enrollment agreements with students:

|  | June 30, 2022 |  | September 30, 2021
Receivables, which includes tuition and notes receivable |  | $ | 55,172 |  |  | $ | 46,489 |
Deferred revenue |  | 42,682 |  |  | 57,648 |

During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the deferred revenue balance included decreases for revenues recognized during the period and increases related to new students who started their training programs during the period.

Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements
The accounting framework for determining fair value includes a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to measure fair value, which enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of three tiers:
Level 1: Defined as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Defined as inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Defined as unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
Any transfers of investments between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period. Assets measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:

|  |  |  | Fair Value Measurements Using
|  | June 30, 2022 |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total assets at fair value on a recurring basis |  | $ | 98,224 |  |  | $ | 62,100 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 36,124 |

(1) Money market funds and other highly liquid investments with maturity dates less than 90 days are reflected as “Cash and cash equivalents” in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.
(2) Notes receivable relate to our proprietary loan program.
To increase the interest income yield on our excess cash and cash equivalents, in July 2022, we invested approximately $40.0 million in held-to-maturity securities, which primarily consist of money market funds, commercial paper, treasury bills and corporate bonds with a minimum credit rating of A. We have the ability and intention to hold these investments until maturity and therefore have classified these investments as held-to-maturity and recorded them at amortized cost during the month ended July 31, 2022.

Depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $4.5 million and $12.0 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $3.6 million and $10.4 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Acquisition of Lisle
On February 11, 2022, we completed the acquisition of 2611 Corporate West Drive Venture LLC (“2611”) which owns our Lisle, Illinois campus (the “Lisle Campus”). Prior to the acquisition, we had a 28% interest in 2611 through our unconsolidated affiliate, as described in Note 10, and previously leased the campus from 2611. The total cash consideration paid, including transaction related costs, for the remaining 72% interest in 2611 was $28.4 million. In addition to the cash consideration paid, we assumed $18.3 million in debt for a loan agreement with a third-party bank that was secured by a mortgage on the Lisle Campus. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we identified an adjustment to the total net assets acquired and made an additional $0.2 million cash payment in July 2022 which increases the total cash consideration paid to $28.6 million. The adjusted total net assets recorded for the transaction equals $33.2 million, of which $8.2 million was allocated to land, $43.3 million was allocated to buildings, and $18.3 million was allocated to debt. Additionally, prior to the acquisition of 2611, there was $4.0 million in leasehold improvements recorded for the Lisle Campus which we have reclassified to building and building improvements.
Note 8 - Goodwill
Our goodwill balance of $16.9 million as of June 30, 2022 represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The changes in the carrying value of goodwill are presented in the table below.

|  | June 30, 2022 |  | September 30, 2021
Balance at beginning of period |  | $ | 8,222 |  |  | $ | 8,222 |
Additions to Goodwill for acquisition of MIAT |  | 8,637 |  |  | — |
Balance at end of period |  | $ | 16,859 |  |  | $ | 8,222 |

Of the $16.9 million recorded as goodwill as of June 30, 2022, $8.2 million resulted from the acquisition of our motorcycle and marine education business in Orlando, Florida in 1998 and $8.6 million relates to the acquisition of MIAT as of

November 1, 2021 as previously described in Note 4. All of the goodwill relates to our Postsecondary Education reportable operating segment.
Goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment, which may result from the deterioration in the operating performance of the acquired businesses, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations and a variety of other circumstances. Historically, this testing has been performed as of September 30 of each fiscal year. E ffective as of October 1, 2021, we determined that our goodwill will be tested annually for impairment as of August 1 and more frequently if events or circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We do not consider this change to be material and believe that the timing is preferable as it allows additional time to complete the annual assessment in advance of the annual reporting deadline. This change in assessment date did not delay, accelerate, or cause avoidance of a potential impairment charge. T here were no indicators of goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2022.
Note 9 - Intangible Assets
The following table provides the gross carrying value, accumulated amortization, net book value and remaining useful life for intangible assets subject to amortization as of June 30, 2022:

|  | Gross Carrying Value |  | Accumulated Amortization |  | Net Book Value |  | Weighted Average Remaining Useful Life (Years)
Accreditations and regulatory approvals - MIAT |  | $ | 12,800 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 12,800 |  |  | Indefinite
Trademarks and trade names - MIAT |  | 3,000 |  |  | — |  |  | 3,000 |  |  | Indefinite

Total |  | $ | 16,642 |  |  | $ | (398) |  |  | $ | 16,244 |  |  | 3.99

Of the $16.6 million gross carrying value recorded as intangible assets as of June 30, 2022, $16.2 million relates to the MIAT acquisition completed on November 1, 2021 as previously described in Note 4. The remaining weighted average useful lives shown are calculated based on the net book value and remaining amortization period of each respective intangible asset. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization expense related to finite-lived intangible assets was $79.9 thousand and $26.6 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
As discussed in our new significant accounting policy on intangible assets in Note 2, our indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment as of August 1, or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. There were no indicators of impairment for our indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2022.
Note 10 - Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
In 2012, we invested $4.0 million to acquire an equity interest of approximately 28% in a joint venture (“JV”) related to the lease of the Lisle Campus. As discussed in Note 7, in February 2022, this JV was dissolved and we acquired the building, land and debt associated with this campus through the acquisition of the 2611 entity.
Investment in unconsolidated affiliate consisted of the following and is included within “Other assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets:

Note 11 - Leases
As of June 30, 2022, we leased 11 of our 15 currently operating campuses, one future campus and our corporate headquarters under non-cancelable operating leases, some of which contain escalation clauses and requirements to pay other fees associated with the leases. The facility leases have original lease terms ranging from 8 to 20 years and expire at various dates through 2036. In addition, the leases commonly include lease incentives in the form of rent abatements and tenant improvement allowances. We sublease certain portions of unused building space to third parties, which as of June 30, 2022, resulted in minimal income. All of the leases, other than those that may qualify for the short-term scope exception of 12 months or less, are recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As previously discussed in Note 7, in February 2022 we purchased the 2611 entity which owns the Lisle Campus. While the lease for the Lisle Campus remains in place between the 2611 and UTI of Illinois, LLC entities, at the UTI, Inc consolidated level, the right-of-use asset and the operating lease liability for this campus were settled, resulting in a gain on settlement of $1.6 million which has been included within “Educational services and facilities” on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.
Some of the facility leases are subject to annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). While lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes to the CPI, changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred. Many of our lease agreements include options to extend the lease, which we do not include in our minimum lease terms unless they are reasonably certain to be exercised. There are no early termination with penalties, residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants imposed by our facility leases.
The components of lease expense are included in “Educational services and facilities” and “Selling, general and administrative” on the condensed consolidated statement of operations, with the exception of interest on lease liabilities, which is included in “Interest expense.”
The components of lease expense during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Nine Months Ended June 30,
Lease Expense |  | 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2022 |  | 2021

Avondale Term Loan
In connection with the Avondale, Arizona building purchase in December 2020, we entered into a Credit Agreement with Fifth Third Bank, National Association (the “Avondale Lender”) on May 12, 2021 in the maximum principal amount of $31.2 million with a maturity of seven years (the “Avondale Term Loan”). The Avondale Term Loan bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.0%. Principal and interest payments are due monthly. The Avondale Term Loan is secured by a first priority lien on our Avondale, Arizona property, including all land and improvements. Additionally, on May 12, 2021, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Avondale Lender that effectively fixes the interest rate on 50% of the principal amount of the Avondale Term Loan, or approximately $15.6 million, at 3.5% for the entire loan term. See Note 14 below for further discussion on the interest rate swap.
We are subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants in connection with our Avondale Term Loan, including, without limitation, certain reporting obligations, certain limitations on restricted payments, limitations on liens, encumbrances and indebtedness and certain financial maintenance covenants. For further discussion of our Avondale Term Loan debt covenants, see Note 12 on “Debt” included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.
Lisle Term Loan - WA
As discussed in Note 7, in connection with the Lisle Campus purchase, we assumed a Loan Agreement with Western Alliance Bank on February 14, 2022 in the principal amount of $18.3 million, maturing in October 2031 (the “Lisle Term Loan - WA”). In April 2022, this term loan was repaid in full with proceeds from the Lisle Term Loan - VN, as discussed below.
Lisle Term Loan - VN
On April 14, 2022, 2611 (the “Borrower”) entered into a new Loan Agreement (“Lisle Loan Agreement - VN”) with Valley National Bank (the “Lisle Lender”), to fund the acquisition and retirement of the Lisle Term Loan - WA, via a term loan in the original principal amount of $38.0 million with a maturity of seven years (the “Lisle Term Loan - VN”). The Lisle Term Loan - VN bears interest at a rate of one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 2.0%. In connection with the Lisle Term Loan - VN, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Lisle Lender that effectively fixes the interest rate on 50% of the principal amount of the Lisle Term Loan - VN, or $19.0 million, at 4.69% for the entire loan term. The Lisle Term Loan - VN is secured by a mortgage on the Lisle Campus and is guaranteed by the Company.
As guarantor, the Company is subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants under the Lisle Loan Agreement - VN, including, without limitation, reporting and notice obligations and certain financial maintenance covenants. The Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio is required to be not less than 1.25 to 1.00 during the period being measured (which commences on June 30, 2022 and may be tested no more than quarterly thereafter on a trailing 12-month basis) and is defined as the ratio of (a) the sum of consolidated net income (loss) for the year, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other extraordinary non-recurring items (“Adjusted EBITDA”) plus rent paid to Borrower and less cash taxes paid, distributions, and unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) principal and interest expenses plus rent paid to Borrower. The ratio of total indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA is required to be no greater than 3.50 to 1.00 (which commences on the date the Company shall submit its initial compliance certificate in accordance with the Loan Agreement and may be tested no more than annually thereafter on a trailing 12-month basis). In addition, the Borrower’s debt service coverage ratio is required to equal or exceed 1.20 to 1.00 during the period being measured (which commences on June 30, 2022 and may be tested no more than quarterly thereafter on a trailing 12-month basis) and is defined as the ratio of (a) net operating income of the Lisle Campus to (b) actual annual debt service due under the Loan Agreement. Events of default under the Loan Agreement include, among others, the failure to make payments when due, breach of covenants (including

(Unaudited)
certain financial maintenance covenants) and breach of representations or warranties. If the Company fails to meet the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio or ratio of total indebtedness to Adjusted EBITDA and fails to cure such non-compliance within a time period acceptable to the Lender, the Company will be in default. As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

Note 14- Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates. We may enter into derivative financial instruments to offset these underlying market risks.
On May 12, 2021, in connection with the Avondale Term Loan discussed in Note 13, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Avondale Lender that effectively fixes the interest rate on 50% of the principal amount of the Avondale Term Loan, or approximately $15.6 million, at 3.5% for the entire loan term, or seven years (the “Avondale Swap”). On May 12, 2021, the Avondale Swap was designated as an effective cash flow hedge for accounting and tax purposes.
On April 14, 2022, in connection with the Lisle Term loan - VN discussed in Note 13, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the Lisle Lender that effectively fixes the interest rate on 50% of the principal amount of the Lisle Term Loan - VN at 4.69% for the entire loan term, or seven years (the “Lisle Swap”). On April 14, 2022, the Lisle Swap was designated as an effective cash flow hedge for accounting and tax purposes.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For cash flow hedges, we report the effective portion of the gain or loss as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” and reclassify it to “Interest expense” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the corresponding period of the underlying hedged item. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a derivative financial instrument is recognized in “Interest expense” at the time the ineffectiveness occurs. To the extent the hedged forecasted interest payments on debt related to our interest rate swap is paid off, the remaining balance in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” is recognized in “Interest expense” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Of the net amount of the existing gains that are reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” as of June 30, 2022, we estimate that $0.3 million will be reclassified to “Interest expense” within the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2022, the notional amount of the Avondale Swap and Lisle Swap was approximately $15.1 million and $19.0 million, respectively.

Note 15 - Income Taxes
Our income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.3 million, or 28.5% of pre-tax income, compared to income tax expense of $86 thousand, or 2.8% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, our income tax benefit was $5.6 million, or (32.2)% of pre-tax income, compared to an income tax expense of $78 thousand, or 3.0% of pre-tax income, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The effective income tax rate in each period differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily as a result of changes in the valuation allowance and state taxes. The income tax benefit recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 is primarily comprised of the benefit related to the release of a majority of the valuation allowance (as discussed further below), which includes the valuation allowance impact related to the MIAT deferred tax liability for indefinite lived intangibles which are available to offset a portion of our indefinite lived deferred tax assets, offset by current state tax expense.
As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, based in part on our sustained positive earnings in recent quarters, we determined that there was sufficient evidence to meet the more likely than not

(Unaudited)
realizability threshold and support the reversal of a majority of the previously recorded valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. The release of the valuation allowance resulted in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and a non-cash tax benefit recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the period. As of June 30, 2022, we continued to maintain a valuation allowance related to certain federal and state attributes which are not expected to be utilized prior to expiration.
Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are periodically subject to lawsuits, demands in arbitration, investigations, regulatory proceedings or other claims, including, but not limited to, claims involving current or former students, routine employment matters, business disputes and regulatory demands. When we are aware of a claim or potential claim, we assess the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we accrue a liability for the loss. When a loss is not both probable and estimable, we do not accrue a liability. Where a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible, including if a loss in excess of an accrued liability is reasonably possible, we determine whether it is possible to provide an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim. Because we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of the legal proceedings (including lawsuits, investigations, regulatory proceedings or claims) asserted against us, it is not currently possible to provide such an estimate. The ultimate outcome of pending legal proceedings to which we are a party may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows and results of operations or financial condition.
We received a January 18, 2022 letter from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) explaining that it was assessing whether UTI “is subject to the CFPB’s supervisory authority based on its activities related to student lending.” The CFPB’s letter then requested certain information about extensions of credit to UTI students; generally explained the source and scope of the CFPB’s regulatory authority; and advised that, after it reviewed the requested materials, the CFPB “anticipates providing guidance regarding whether UTI is subject to CFPB’s supervisory authority.” We have provided the requested information and are awaiting further guidance, if any, from the CFPB.
Note 17 - Shareholders’ Equity
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by our Board of Directors and have the right to one vote per share on all matters requiring shareholder approval. On June 9, 2016, our Board of Directors voted to eliminate the quarterly cash dividend on our common stock. Any future common stock dividends require the approval of a majority of the voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock.
Preferred Stock
Preferred Stock consists of 10,000,000 authorized preferred shares of $0.0001 par value each. As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, 675,885 and 700,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) were issued and outstanding. The liquidation preference associated with the Series A Preferred Stock was $100 per share at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.
In June 2022, one stockholder elected to convert its 24,115 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 724,174 shares of our common stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations, which reduced the Series A Preferred Stock outstanding as of the end of the period to 675,885 shares.
Pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock, we may pay a cash dividend on each share of the Series A Preferred Stock at a rate of 7.5% per year on the liquidation preference then in effect (“Cash Dividend”). If we do not pay a Cash Dividend, the liquidation preference shall be increased to an amount equal to the current liquidation preference in effect plus an amount reflecting that liquidation preference multiplied by the Cash Dividend rate

(Unaudited)
then in effect plus 2.0% per year (“Accrued Dividend”). Cash Dividends are payable semi-annually in arrears on September 30 and March 31 of each year, and begin to accrue on the first day of the applicable dividend period. We paid Cash Dividends of $2.6 million during March 2022.
Given our current earnings and anticipated future earnings, along with share price of the Company’s common stock based upon trading activity during the quarter and subsequent to quarter end, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, we may be eligible, at our option and subject to obtaining any required stockholder and regulatory approvals, to require that any or all of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock be automatically converted into our common stock at the conversion rate. For further discussion of our preferred stock, including the potential for conversion into common stock, see Note 16 on “Shareholders’ Equity” included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Share Repurchase Program
On December 10, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase plan that would allow for the repurchase of up to $35.0 million of our common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. This new share repurchase plan replaced the previously authorized plan from fiscal 2012. Any repurchases under this new stock repurchase program require the approval of a majority of the voting power of our Series A Preferred Stock. We have not repurchased any shares under the share repurchase program, including during the nine months ended June 30, 2022.
Note 18 - Earnings per Share
We calculate basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) pursuant to the two-class method as a result of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock on June 24, 2016. Our Series A Preferred Stock is considered a participating security because, in the event that we pay a dividend or make a distribution on the outstanding common stock, we shall also pay each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock a dividend on an as-converted basis. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock and participating securities according to dividend and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, all earnings, distributed and undistributed, are allocated to common shares and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. The Series A Preferred Stock is not included in the computation of basic EPS in periods in which we have a net loss, as the Series A Preferred Stock is not contractually obligated to share in our net losses.
Diluted EPS is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class method or as-converted method. The two-class method uses net income available to common shareholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares other than the participating securities. The as-converted method uses net income and assumes conversion of all potential shares including the participating securities. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted share units and convertible preferred stock. The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are the same for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and the nine months ended June 30, 2021 as a result of the net loss available to common shareholders and anti-dilutive impact of the potentially dilutive securities.
The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted EPS under the two-class or as-converted method, as well as the anti-dilutive shares excluded:

Note 19 - Segment Information
Our principal business is providing postsecondary education. We also provide manufacturer-specific training, and these operations are managed separately from our campus operations. These operations do not currently meet the quantitative criteria for segments and therefore are reflected in the “Other” category. As discussed in Note 10, our JV was dissolved in February 2022. Prior to this change, our equity method investment and other non-postsecondary education operations were also included within the “Other” category. Corporate expenses are allocated to “Postsecondary Education” and the “Other” category based on compensation expense.

Note 20 - Government Regulation and Financial Aid
As discussed at length in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our institutions participate in a range of government-sponsored student assistance programs. The most significant of these is the federal student aid programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”) pursuant to Title IV of the Higher Education Act (“HEA”), commonly referred to as the Title IV Programs. Generally, to participate in the Title IV Programs, an institution must be licensed or otherwise legally authorized to operate in the state where it is physically located, be accredited by an accreditor recognized by ED, be certified as an eligible institution by ED, offer at least one eligible program of education, and comply with other statutory and regulatory requirements. See “Part I, Item 1. Regulatory Environment” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(Unaudited)
State Authorization
To operate and offer postsecondary programs, and to be certified to participate in Title IV Programs, each of our institutions must obtain and maintain authorization from the state in which it is physically located (“Home State”). To engage in recruiting activities outside of its Home State, each institution also may be required to obtain and maintain authorization from the states in which it is recruiting students. The level of regulatory oversight varies substantially from state to state and is extensive in some states. State laws may establish standards for instruction, qualifications of faculty, location and nature of facilities and equipment, administrative procedures, marketing, recruiting, student outcomes reporting, disclosure obligations to students, limitations on mandatory arbitration clauses in enrollment agreements, financial operations, and other operational matters. Some states prescribe standards of financial responsibility and mandate that institutions post surety bonds. Many states have requirements for institutions to disclose institutional data to current and prospective students, as well as to the public, and some states require that our schools meet prescribed performance standards as a condition of continued approval. States can and often do revisit, revise, and expand their regulations governing postsecondary education and recruiting.
UTI is authorized to participate in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (“SARA”). SARA is an agreement among member states, districts and territories that establishes comparable national standards for interstate offering of post-secondary distance education courses and programs. SARA is overseen by a national council (NC-SARA) and administered by four regional education compacts. As of July 1, 2022, 49 states (all but California), the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands have joined SARA. Each of our institutions holds the state or SARA authorizations required to operate and offer postsecondary education programs, and to recruit in the states in which it engages in recruiting activities.
Accreditation
Accreditation is a non-governmental process through which an institution voluntarily submits to ongoing qualitative reviews by an organization of peer institutions. Institutional accreditation by an ED-recognized accreditor is required for an institution to be certified to participate in Title IV Programs. All of our institutions are accredited by the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (“ACCSC”), which is an accrediting agency recognized by ED. ACCSC reviews the academic quality of each institution’s instructional programs, as well as the administrative and financial operations of the institution to ensure that it has the resources necessary to perform its educational mission, implement continuous improvement processes, and support student success. Our institutions must submit annual reports, and at times, supplemental reports, to demonstrate ongoing compliance and improvement. ACCSC requires institutions to disclose certain institutional information to current and prospective students, as well as to the public, and requires that our schools and programs meet various performance standards as a condition of continued accreditation. Institutions must periodically renew their accreditation by completing a comprehensive renewal of accreditation process. See “Part I, Item 1. Regulatory Environment - Accreditation” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details and the current status of our campus accreditation.
Title IV Programs
The federal government provides a substantial part of its support for postsecondary education through Title IV Programs in the form of grants and loans to students who can use those funds at any institution that has been certified as eligible to participate by ED. All of our institutions are certified to participate in Title IV Programs. Significant factors relating to Title IV Programs that could adversely affect us include:
•The 90/10 Rule. As a condition of participation in Title IV Programs, proprietary institutions must agree when they sign their PPA to comply with the “90/10 rule.” Under the current 90/10 rule, to remain eligible to participate in the federal student aid programs, a proprietary institution must derive at least 10% of its revenues for each fiscal year from sources other than Title IV Program funds. A proprietary institution is subject to sanctions if it exceeds the 90% level for a single year and loses its eligibility to participate in Title IV programs if it derives more than 90% of its revenue from Title IV Programs, as applicable, for two consecutive fiscal years. In 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which amended the 90/10 rule. Section 2013 of the Act amended the rule to require covered institutions to derive at least 10 percent of their revenue from sources other than “Federal education assistance funds.” The phrase “Federal education assistance funds” was broadly defined as “federal funds that are disbursed or delivered to or on behalf of a student to be used to attend such institution.” Congress directed ED to clarify the impact of this change

with new regulations. In its most recent negotiated rulemaking, which concluded March 18, 2022, ED considered changes to the 90/10 regulations. After extensive discussion, on the final day the negotiators reached consensus on draft language, which means ED will very likely use the agreed upon language (or something close to it) in its proposed regulations. We are monitoring these proposed changes to the 90/10 rule, and will review and assess the impact of any proposed or final regulations promulgated by ED. These changes would take effect July 1, 2023, and would apply to any annual audit submission for a proprietary institution fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
•Administrative Capability. To continue its participation in Title IV Programs, an institution must demonstrate that it remains administratively capable of providing the education it promises and of properly managing the Title IV Programs. ED assesses the administrative capability of each institution that participates in Title IV Programs under a series of standards listed in the regulations, which cover a wide range of operational and administrative topics, including the designation of capable and qualified individuals, the quality and scope of written procedures, the adequacy of institutional communication and processes, the timely resolution of issues, the sufficiency of recordkeeping, and the frequency of findings of noncompliance, to name a few. ED’s administrative capability standards also include thresholds and expectations for federal student loan cohort default rates (discussed below), satisfactory academic progress, and loan counseling. Failure to satisfy any of the standards may lead ED to find the institution ineligible to participate in Title IV Programs, require the institution to repay Title IV Program funds, change the method of payment of Title IV Program funds, place the institution on provisional certification as a condition of its continued participation or take other actions against the institution.
•Three-Year Student Loan Default Rates. To remain eligible to participate in Title IV Programs, institutions also must maintain federal student loan cohort default rates below specified levels. An institution whose three-year cohort default rate is 15% or greater for any one of the three preceding years is subject to a 30-day delay in receiving the first disbursement on federal student loans for first-time borrowers. As of September 30, 2021, only Universal Technical Institute of Texas was subject to a 30-day delay in receiving the first disbursement on federal student loans for first-time borrowers due to a three-year cohort default rate that was 15% or greater for one of the three most recent years.
•Financial Responsibility. All institutions participating in Title IV Programs also must satisfy specific ED standards of financial responsibility. Among other things, an institution must meet all of its financial obligations, including required refunds to students and any Title IV Program liabilities and debts, be current in its debt payments, comply with certain past performance requirements, and not receive any adverse, qualified, or disclaimed opinion by its accountants in its audited financial statements. Each year, ED also evaluates institutions’ financial responsibility by calculating a “composite score,” which utilizes information provided in the institutions’ annual audited financial statements. The composite score is based on three ratios: (1) the equity ratio which measures the institution’s capital resources, ability to borrow and financial viability; (2) the primary reserve ratio which measures the institution’s ability to support current operations from expendable resources; and (3) the net income ratio which measures the institution’s ability to operate at a profit. Between composite score calculations, ED also will reevaluate the financial responsibility of an institution following the occurrence of certain “triggering events,” which must be timely reported to the agency.
•Title IV Program Rulemaking. ED is almost continuously engaged in one or more negotiated rulemakings, which is the process pursuant to which it revisits, revises, and expands the complex and voluminous Title IV Program regulations. ED is currently managing two significant rulemaking efforts. First, between October and December 2021, ED held three rounds of negotiations as part of the Affordability and Student Loans rulemaking. The negotiators considered nine issue areas, including the borrower defense to repayment rule, closed school loan discharges, and loan repayment plans. Second, between January and March of 2022, ED held three rounds of negotiations as part of the Institutional and Programmatic Eligibility rulemaking. The negotiators considered seven issue areas, including administrative capability, financial responsibility, gainful employment, change of ownership and control, ability to benefit and the 90/10 rule. In July 2022, ED published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the Federal Register covering seven of the issue areas discussed during the negotiated rulemakings, including borrower defense to repayment, pre-dispute arbitration clauses and class action waivers, total and permanent disability discharge, closed school discharge, the elimination of interest capitalization in select circumstances, and the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. The regulated community is currently commenting on these proposed rules, and awaiting ED’s official proposed rules for the remaining topics discussed during the rounds of negotiated rulemaking. Any final rules published by November 1, 2022, will become

effective July 1, 2023. ED has also indicated that certain proposed rules, such as gainful employment, will be delayed until 2023, meaning the earliest such rules could go into effect would be July 1, 2024. We devote significant effort to understanding the effects of ED regulations and rulemakings on our business and to developing compliant solutions that also are congruent with our business, culture, and mission to serve our students and industry relationships.
Other Federal and State Student Aid Programs
Some of our students also receive financial aid from federal sources other than Title IV Programs, such as the programs administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), the Department of Defense (“DOD”) and under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. Each year we derive a portion of our revenues, on a cash basis, from veterans’ benefits programs, which include the Post-9/11 GI Bill, the Montgomery GI Bill, the Reserve Education Assistance Program (“REAP”) and VA Vocational Rehabilitation. To continue participation in veterans’ benefits programs, an institution must comply with certain requirements established by the VA.
Additionally, some states provide financial aid to our students in the form of grants, loans or scholarships. Our Long Beach, Rancho Cucamonga and Sacramento, California campuses, for example, are currently eligible to participate in the Cal Grant program. All of our institutions must comply with the eligibility and participation requirements applicable to each of these funding programs, which vary by funding agency and program.
The CARES Act, the CRRSAA, and ARPA
During fiscal 2020 and 2021 various pieces of legislation were issued related to the COVID-19 pandemic including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CRRSAA”) and the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”). This legislation, along with guidance from the ED, are discussed at length in “Note 21 - Governmental Regulation and Financial Aid” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The funding received from these Acts is also discussed in Note 21 on Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Grants below. For additional information and risks associated with this legislation, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Distance Education
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ED provided broad approval for institutions to use distance education without going through the standard ED approval process. ED also permitted accreditors to waive their distance education review requirements. Taking advantage of these flexibilities, we transitioned our students into blended program formats, which permitted their non-clinical training to be offered online.
ED’s temporary flexibilities currently remain in place and will continue through the end of the payment period that begins after the date on which the federally-declared national emergency related to COVID-19 is rescinded. However, having observed that our blended learning programs offer a range of academic, operational, and financial efficiencies, we have determined to seek the permanent approvals that will permit us to continue offering blended learning programming after the noted temporary flexibilities have expired. We also continue to work to ensure that our blended learning programming complies with applicable distance education rules and standards, including ED’s new distance education rules, which became effective July 1, 2021. We intend to offer our Automotive, Diesel, Automotive/Diesel, Motorcycle and Marine programs in a blended learning format on a permanent basis. Additionally, we intend to continue to invest in our blended learning platform and curriculum to further enhance the student experience and student outcomes.
To date, we have received approval from ACCSC to permanently offer blended format programs that utilize both distance and on-ground education. Additionally, we have received permanent approvals from all state education authorizing agencies to offer blended format programs.

Note 21 - Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund Grants
HEERF II Grants for Students under the CRRSAA and HEERF III Grant for Students under the ARPA
As discussed in “Note 21 - Governmental Regulation and Financial Aid” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the CRRSAA included the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II (“HEERF II”), which made an additional $22.7 billion available to higher education institutions. Of this amount, private, proprietary institutions were allocated approximately $681 million. The statute permits proprietary institutions to use HEERF II funds to provide financial aid grants to students and requires that institutions prioritize the grants to students with exceptional need, such as students who receive Pell Grants. In accordance with the ED’s allocation schedule, during the year ended September 30, 2021, we were granted approximately $16.8 million for purposes of funding HEERF II student grants.
Additionally, as discussed in “Note 21 - Governmental Regulation and Financial Aid” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the ARPA provided almost $40 billion in funding available to higher education institutions under the Higher Education Emergency Relief III (“HEERF III”). Of this amount, private, proprietary institutions were allocated approximately $396 million. Proprietary institutions may only use HEERF III funding to provide emergency financial aid grants to students with exceptional need, such as students who receive Pell Grants. In accordance with the ED’s allocation schedule, during the year ended September 30, 2021, we were granted approximately $9.9 million for purposes of funding HEERF III student grants.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we awarded approximately $6.8 million in HEERF II and HEERF III grants to over 4,900 students. The HEERF II and HEERF III funds were drawn down as student grants were distributed with approximately $0.7 million included in “Restricted cash” on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 which relates to pending student grants and outstanding checks. As of June 30, 2022, we have approximately $0.1 million of funds still available for HEERF II and HEERF III grants to students.
HEERF I Grants for Significant Changes to the Delivery of Instruction Due to the Coronavirus under the CARES Act
As discussed in “Note 22 - Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund under the CARES Act” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, during the three months ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $0.9 million in allowable costs related to the changes in the delivery of instruction due to the coronavirus, thereby utilizing the remaining available HEERF institutional funds. Of the $0.9 million incurred, $0.3 million was recorded in “Educational services and facilities” and $0.6 million was recorded in “Selling, general and administrative” on the condensed consolidated statements of operation for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The $0.9 million was drawn down prior to December 31, 2020 and was included in our “Cash and cash equivalents” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.

Company Overview
Founded in 1965, with approximately 250,000 graduates in its history, Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (“we,” “us” or “our”) is a leading provider of transportation and technical training programs. As of June 30, 2022, we offered certificate, diploma or degree programs at 15 campuses across the United States under the banner of several well-known brands, including Universal Technical Institute (“UTI”), Motorcycle Mechanics Institute and Marine Mechanics Institute (collectively, “MMI”), NASCAR Technical Institute (“NASCAR Tech”), and MIAT College of Technology (“MIAT”). Additionally, we offer manufacturer specific advanced training (“MSAT”) programs, including student-paid electives, at our campuses and manufacturer or dealer sponsored training at certain campuses and dedicated training centers.
All of our campuses are nationally accredited and are eligible for federal student financial assistance funds under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (“HEA”), commonly referred to as Title IV Programs, which are administered by the U.S. Department of Education (“ED”). Our programs are also eligible for financial aid from federal sources other than Title IV Programs, such as the programs administered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
To ensure our programs provide students with the necessary hard and soft skills needed upon graduation, we have relationships with over 35 original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and industry brand partners across the country to understand their needs for qualified service professionals. Through our industry relationships, we are able to continuously refine and expand our programs and curricula. We believe our industry-focused educational model and national presence have enabled us to develop valuable industry relationships, which provide us with significant competitive advantages and supports our market leadership, along with enabling us to provide highly specialized education to our students, resulting in enhanced employment opportunities and the potential for higher wages for our graduates.
Our industry relationships also extend to thousands of local employers, after-market retailers, fleet service providers and enthusiast organizations. Other target groups for relationship-building, such as parts and tools suppliers, provide us with a variety of strategic and financial benefits that include equipment sponsorship, new product support, licensing and branding opportunities and financial sponsorship for our campuses and students.
We offer the majority of our programs in a blended learning model that combines instructor-facilitated online teaching and demonstrations with hands-on labs. This blended learning format has allowed us to continue to offer our programs to our students during the COVID-19 pandemic and aligns with an increasing trend of online education being offered as individuals seek more flexibility and life-long learning opportunities. On-campus labs are designed to meet or exceed the current national guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) as well as state and local mandates, while still meeting our accreditation and curriculum requirements.

Overview of the Three and Nine Months Ended June 30, 2022
Student Metrics

| Three Months Ended |  |  |  | Nine Months Ended |  |
| June 30, |  | % |  | June 30, |  | %
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | Change |  | 2022 |  | 2021 |  | Change
Total new student starts | 3,166 |  |  | 2,532 |  |  | 25.0 | % |  | 7,409 |  | 6,864 |  | 7.9 | %
Average undergraduate full-time active students | 12,025 |  |  | 10,797 |  |  | 11.4 | % |  | 12,881 |  | 11,280 |  | 14.2 | %
End of period undergraduate full-time active students | 12,077 |  |  | 10,583 |  | 14.1 | % |  | 12,077 |  | 10,583 |  | 14.1 | %

The increase in average undergraduate full-time active students and end of period undergraduate full-time active students was due to strong student demand throughout fiscal 2021 and the ongoing but diminishing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prior year. The acquisition of MIAT in November 2021 also contributed to the increase in our new student starts, average and end of period undergraduate full-time active students.
Our ability to start new students can be influenced by various factors including: ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related variants, unemployment rates; competition; adverse media coverage, legislative hearings, regulatory actions and investigations by attorneys general and various agencies related to allegations of wrongdoing on the part of other companies within the education and training services industry, which have cast the industry in a negative light; and the state of the general macro-economic environment and its impact on price sensitivity and the ability and willingness of students and their families to incur debt.
Operations
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $101.0 million, an increase of $17.2 million, or 20.5%, from the comparable period in the prior year. Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 were $308.1 million, an increase of $70.5 million, or 29.7%, from the comparable period in the prior year. The increase in revenue was due to growth in students, increased revenue per student due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year, and the acquisition of MIAT.
We had income from operations of $2.0 million and $18.9 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to income from operations of $3.1 million and $2.2 million during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The increase in our income from operations during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 period was primarily driven by our increase in revenue. The decrease in our income from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2022 period was primarily driven by one-time costs from our growth and diversification strategy. Additionally, productivity improvements and proactive cost actions have been a key part of our operating model for the past several years, and we continue to identify and execute on efficiency opportunities throughout our cost structure, while improving and investing in the overall student experience.
Business Strategy
Our core business strategies are aligned with our mission to serve students, partners and communities by providing quality education and training for in-demand careers. Additionally, as we evolve our business model, we are focused on growth and diversification which is achieved through acquisitions, opening new campus locations, the expansion of new program offerings, and new funding and business operating models.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we executed the following as part of our growth and diversification strategy:
•Entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Concorde Career Colleges, Inc. (“Concorde”) in May 2022. Concorde is a leading provider of industry-aligned healthcare education programs in fields such as nursing, dental hygiene and medical diagnostics. Concorde currently operates 17 campuses across eight states with approximately 7,400 students, and offers its programs in ground, hybrid and online formats. The acquisition aligns with our growth and diversification strategy, which is focused on offering a broader array of high-quality, in-demand workforce solutions which both prepare students for a variety of careers in fast-growing fields and help close the country's skills gap by leveraging key industry partnerships. The closing of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions.
31

•Expanded our operations through the opening of our new campus in Austin, Texas. This is the third UTI school in Texas and helps to broaden the reach of our skilled trade programs to high demand geographies.
•Completed the acquisition of MIAT College of Technology (“MIAT”) from HCP & Company on November 1, 2021. MIAT served approximately 1,000 students as of December 31, 2021 through its campuses in Canton, Michigan and Houston, Texas. The company offers vocational and technical certificates as well as associates degrees in fields with robust and growing demand for skilled technical workers, including aviation maintenance, energy technology, wind power, robotics and automation, non-destructive testing, HVACR, and welding. The acquisition will enable us to further expand our program offerings into growing industry sectors and rapidly expanding fields likely to be bolstered by technological innovation and the country’s focus on sustainable energy.
◦Executed on the next phase of our growth and diversification strategy by announcing the addition of 15 new programs across our campus footprint, including Aviation, HVACR, Robotics, Industrial Maintenance and Wind Energy Technician training to UTI and NASCAR Technical Institute branded campuses, and initiating efforts to add Auto and Diesel Essentials to the MIAT Canton, Michigan campus. Pending all regulatory approvals, the initial planned program additions are projected to begin launching in the second quarter of fiscal 2023, with the final planned programs launching by the end of 2024.
•Launched electric vehicle (“EV”) technician training coursework to meet increasing demand for clean cars and trucks. This enhanced training is the initial step in our overall EV strategy to prepare future technicians for surging electric vehicle sales in the coming decades.
◦As part of this initiative, we rolled out new curriculum in our Ford FACT (“Ford Accelerated Credential Training”) program to prepare students to keep the next generation of vehicles on the road. This new curriculum will feature blended learning courses on high voltage systems safety, hybrid vehicle components and operation, battery electric vehicle components and operation and an introduction to high voltage battery service, as well as a Ford instructor-led class on hybrid and electric vehicle operation and diagnosis.
◦We have also selected Bosch to support the development of new courseware that helps meet the needs of the growing electric vehicle EV market, which continues to see record sales and a demand for skilled technicians.
•Launched the BMW Fast Track program at our Avondale, Arizona and Orlando, Florida campuses in January 2022, our Long Beach, California campus in April 2022, and our Houston, Texas campus in May 2022. We expect to launch the program at our Exton, Pennsylvania campus in August 2022 and at the Lisle Campus in January 2023.
•Formed a new strategic alliance with Napa Auto Parts (“NAPA”). NAPA will supply essential parts for hands-on labs, including brake kits, rotors, bulbs, bearing kits, wheel weights and more. The initial stage of the partnership will impact UTI, MMI and NTI-branded campuses and may be expanded to MIAT-branded campuses in the future.
•Purchased the Lisle Campus in February 2022, for approximately $28.4 million, net of debt assumed, including closing costs and other fees. See Note 7 and 13 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements herein for more discussion on this transaction.
In addition, we continue to pursue other opportunities that align with our growth and diversification strategy.

Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $101.0 million, an increase of $17.2 million, or 20.5%, as compared to revenues of $83.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we had a 11.4% increase in our average undergraduate full-time active students as we saw strong front-end demand in the high school channel in the current quarter, and across all channels throughout fiscal 2021, along with the addition of MIAT. The increase in revenue is due to the growth in the average undergraduate full-time students and an increase in the average revenue per student as compared to the prior year which was impacted by the timing of completion of student make-up lab work and slower student progression due to the ongoing but diminishing impacts of COVID-19. The acquisition of MIAT also contributed to our revenue growth, accounting for $6.2 million of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022. We recognized $1.9 million and $3.4 million on an accrual basis related to revenues and interest under our proprietary loan program for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Educational services and facilities expenses
Educational services and facilities expenses were $53.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, which represents an increase of $11.0 million as compared to $42.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Other educational services and facilities expense |  | 4,912 |  |  | 2,874 |
Total educational services and facilities expense |  | $ | 53,216 |  |  | $ | 42,238 |

Compensation and related costs increased by $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to increased headcount in support of higher student counts, which includes the benefit of productivity improvements associated with our blended learning model. The acquisition of MIAT accounted for $2.4 million of the increased compensation and related costs.
Occupancy costs increased by $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the new campuses in Austin, Texas (opened May 2022) and Miramar, Florida (anticipated to open in August 2022), $0.7 million in lease accounting adjustments related to the completed consolidation of our Arizona campuses, as well as $0.5 million related to our two new MIAT campuses. These increases were partially offset by the benefit of purchasing the Lisle Campus and our other campus consolidation projects.
Supplies and maintenance expense increased by $1.3 million primarily due to additional expenses for technical supplies due to a higher average student population, the acquisition of MIAT, and the opening of our Austin, Texas campus in May 2022.
Contract services increased by $1.0 million primarily due to costs incurred related to our growth and diversification initiatives.
Other educational services and facilities expense increased by $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to our higher average student population and included a $0.7 million increase in expense related to our accrued tool kits, an increase in the cost of books of $0.4 million and an increase of $0.2 million in the cost of training aids. These increases were partially due to costs incurred for the initial set up of our Austin campus.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 were $45.8 million. This represents an increase of $7.3 million, as compared to $38.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Compensation and related costs increased by $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in headcount to support our growth and diversification initiatives as compared to the prior year. The acquisition of MIAT represented $0.7 million of the increase.
Advertising expense increased by $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to timing of spend along with incremental investment to support our growth objectives. We continue to target cost-efficient marketing with an increased focus on digital media. Advertising expense as a percentage of revenues increased to 13.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 12.4% in the prior year. Advertising expense for MIAT accounted for $1.4 million of the increase.
Professional services expense increased by $0.9 million primarily due to one-time costs incurred related to our growth and diversification initiatives.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The primary factors included increases of $0.3 million for travel and $0.3 million for software. The acquisition of MIAT represented $0.5 million of the increase.
Income taxes
Our income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.3 million, or 28.5% of pre-tax income, compared to income tax expense of $86.0 thousand, or 2.8% of pre-tax income, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The effective income tax rate in each period differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily as a result of changes in the valuation allowance and state taxes. See Note 15 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein for additional details on our valuation allowance.
Preferred stock dividends
On June 24, 2016, we sold 700,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $70.0 million in cash, less $1.2 million in issuance costs. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock, we recorded a preferred stock cash dividend of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Net (loss) income available for distribution
Net income (loss) available for distribution refers to the net loss or net income reduced by dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of the foregoing, we reported a net loss available for distribution of $0.5 million and net income available for distribution of $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenues
Revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 were $308.1 million, an increase of $70.5 million, or 29.7%, as compared to revenues of $237.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we had a 14.2% increase in our average full-time student enrollment, reflecting strong front-end demand across all channels throughout fiscal 2021 and the addition of MIAT. The increase in revenue is due to the increase in average full-time undergraduate students and an increase in the average revenue per student as compared to the prior year, which was impacted by the timing of completion of student make-up lab work and slower student progression due to the ongoing but diminishing impacts of COVID-19. The acquisition of MIAT accounted for $17.8 million in revenues during the nine months ended June 30, 2022. We recognized $6.5 million and $7.0 million on an accrual basis related to revenues and interest under our proprietary loan program for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Educational services and facilities expenses
Educational services and facilities expenses were $150.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, which represents an increase of $28.3 million as compared to $122.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.

Compensation and related costs increased by $12.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to increased headcount in support of higher student counts, which includes the benefit of productivity improvements associated with our blended learning model. The acquisition of MIAT accounted for $6.3 million of the increased compensation and related costs.
Occupancy costs increased by $3.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the new campuses in Austin, Texas (opened May 2022) and Miramar, Florida (anticipated to open in August 2022), as well as $1.4 million related to the addition of MIAT’s two campuses since November 2021. Additionally, we incurred approximately $1.3 million for lease accounting adjustments resulting from the completed consolidation of our Orlando, Florida and Arizona campuses. These increases were partially offset by the benefits associated with the purchase of our Avondale, Arizona campus in December 2020 and the Lisle, Illinois Campus in February 2022.
Supplies and maintenance expense increased by $3.7 million primarily due to the purchase of laptops for our students to aide their education under our blended-learning model which accounted for $0.8 million of the increase, along with an increased technical supplies expense of $1.4 million. During the prior year, we primarily utilized funds from the CARES Act to purchase the laptops for our students. We also incurred additional expenses for student textbooks and technical supplies due to a higher average student population, the acquisition of MIAT, and the opening of our Austin, Texas campus in May 2022.
Contract services increased by $1.9 million, primarily due to one-time costs incurred related to our growth and diversification initiatives.
Other educational services and facilities expense increased by $4.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to our higher average student population and included a $2.5 million increase in expense related to our accrued tool kits, an increase in the cost of books of $0.9 million and an increase of $0.5 million in the cost of training aids. These increases were partially due to costs incurred for the initial set up of our Austin campus. These increases were partially offset by a gain of $1.6 million in the current period as a result of the settlement of the Lisle Campus lease. See Note 7 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein for additional details on the purchase of the Lisle Campus.

Compensation and related costs increased by $7.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 primarily due to an increase in headcount to support our growth and diversification initiatives as compared to the prior year. The acquisition of MIAT represented $2.2 million of the increase.
Advertising expense increased by $8.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to timing of spend along with incremental investment to support our growth objectives. We continue to target cost-efficient marketing with an increased focus on digital media. Advertising expense as a percentage of revenues decreased to 12.4% for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 12.6% in the prior year. Advertising expense for MIAT accounted for $3.6 million of the increase.
Professional services expense increased by $3.6 million primarily due to one-time costs incurred related to our growth and diversification initiatives, including the acquisition of MIAT which closed on November 1, 2021.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.1 million primarily due to increases of $1.1 million in travel and entertainment costs, $1.1 million for bad debt expense, and $0.7 million for software. The acquisition of MIAT represented $1.6 million of the increase.
Income taxes
Our income tax benefit for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was $5.6 million, or 32.2% of pre-tax income, compared to income tax expense of $78.0 thousand, or 3.0% of pre-tax income, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The effective income tax rate in each period differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily as a result of changes in the valuation allowance and state taxes. The tax benefit recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2022 primarily relates to the release of the valuation allowance during the period and the impact of the MIAT deferred tax liability for indefinite lived intangibles which are available to offset a portion of our indefinite lived deferred tax assets. See Note 15 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein for additional details on our valuation allowance.
Preferred stock dividends
On June 24, 2016, we sold 700,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $70.0 million in cash, less $1.2 million in issuance costs. In accordance with the terms of the related purchase agreement, we recorded a preferred stock cash dividend of $3.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net income (loss) available for distribution
Net income (loss) available for distribution refers to the net income or net loss reduced by dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock. As a result of the foregoing, we reported net income available for distribution of $19.1 million and a net loss available for distribution of $1.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our earnings before interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 were $6.2 million and $30.7 million, respectively compared to $6.8 million and $13.1 million for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We define EBITDA as net income (loss), before interest (income) expense, income tax (benefit) expense, and depreciation and amortization.
EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is provided to supplement, but not substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. We choose to disclose this non-GAAP financial measure because it provides an additional analytical tool to clarify our results from operations and helps to identify underlying trends. Additionally, this measure helps compare our performance on a consistent basis across time periods. Management also utilizes EBITDA as a performance measure internally. To obtain a complete understanding of our performance, this measure should be examined in connection with net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Since the items excluded from this measure should be examined in connection with net income in determining financial performance under GAAP, this measure should not be considered an alternative to net income as a measure of our operating performance or profitability. Exclusion of items in our non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Other companies, including other companies in the education industry, may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure across companies. Investors are encouraged to use GAAP measures when evaluating our financial performance.
EBITDA reconciles to net income, as follows (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Nine Months Ended June 30,

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview of Liquidity
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand and investments will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures, commitments and other liquidity requirements associated with our existing operations, as well as announced growth and diversification initiatives through the next 12 months. Our cash position is available to fund strategic long-term growth initiatives, including opening additional campuses in new markets and the creation of new programs, such as welding, in existing markets where we continue to optimize utilization of our campus facilities.
Our aggregate cash and cash equivalents were $70.7 million as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of $63.0 million from September 30, 2021.

Strategic Uses of Cash
On November 1, 2021, using operating cash on hand, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MIAT for $26.0 million base purchase price plus $2.8 million working capital surplus for total cash consideration paid of $28.8 million. See Note 4 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein for additional details on the acquisition.
During February 2022, we purchased the Lisle Campus for approximately $28.4 million, in cash plus assumed debt, including closing costs and other fees. Due to the timing of the close for the Lisle Campus, we used available operating cash for the purchase. On April 14, 2022, our wholly owned subsidiary entered into a new loan agreement to fund the acquisition and retirement of the Lisle Term Loan - WA, via a term loan in the original principal amount of $38.0 million with a maturity of seven years. The net proceeds from the new loan agreement after fees and the retirement of the Lisle Term Loan - WA were approximately $20.0 million. See Notes 7, 13 and 14 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein for additional details on the purchase and related debt and interest rate swap.
On May 3, 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Concorde for a base purchase price of $50.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of a pre-acquisition review notice from ED that does not contain certain letter of credit requirements. We intend to use cash on hand to pay the consideration contemplated under the definitive agreement. We expect the transaction to close in the first half of fiscal 2023.
To increase the interest income yield on our excess cash and cash equivalents, in July 2022, we invested approximately $40.0 million in held-to-maturity securities, which primarily consist of money market funds, commercial paper, treasury bills and corporate bonds from large cap companies with a minimum credit rating of A.
We believe that additional strategic uses of our cash resources may include consideration of strategic acquisitions and organic growth initiatives, purchase of real estate assets, subsidizing funding alternatives for our students, and the repurchase of common stock, among others. To the extent that potential acquisitions are large enough to require financing beyond cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments, or we need capital to fund operations, new campus openings or expansion of programs at existing campuses, we may enter into additional credit facilities, issue debt or issue additional equity.
Long-term Debt
As of June 30, 2022, we had $68.3 million of long-term debt outstanding, which is comprised of two term loans. Of the $68.3 million outstanding, $30.3 million relates to a term loan that bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% over the seven year term secured in connection with the Avondale, Arizona campus property purchased in December 2020. The remaining $38.0 million relates to a term loan that bears interest at the rate of SOFR plus 2.0% over the seven year term, secured in connection with the Lisle Campus property. See Note 13 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements herein for additional details on the term loans.
Dividends
We currently do not pay a cash dividend on our common stock. For our outstanding Series A preferred shares, we currently pay preferred stock cash dividends of approximately $2.5 million during March and September of each fiscal year, which is subject to adjustment for any preferred stock conversions that occur during the year.
Principal Sources of Liquidity
Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows and existing cash and cash equivalents. A majority of our revenues are derived from Title IV Programs and various veterans’ benefits programs. Federal regulations dictate the timing of disbursements of funds under Title IV Programs. Students must apply for new funding for each academic year consisting of 30-week periods. Loan funds are generally provided in two disbursements for each academic year. The first disbursement for first-time borrowers is usually received 30 days after the start of a student’s academic year, and the second disbursement is typically received at the beginning of the 16th week from the start of the student’s academic year. Under our proprietary loan program, we bear all credit and collection risk and students are not required to begin repayment until six months after the student completes or withdraws from his or her program. These factors, together with the timing of when our students begin their programs, affect the timing and seasonality of our operating cash flow.

Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $7.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $14.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2021.
Net income, after adjustments for non-cash items, provided cash of $47.8 million. The non-cash items included $12.6 million for amortization of right-of-use assets for operating leases, $12.1 million for depreciation and amortization expense and $3.3 million for stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a change in deferred tax assets of $6.3 million.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $39.9 million primarily due to the following:
•The decrease in deferred revenue used cash of $16.8 million and was primarily attributable to the timing of student starts, the number of students in school and where they were at period end in relation to completion of their program at June 30, 2022 as compared to September 30, 2021.
•Changes in our operating lease liability, primarily as a result of rent payments, used cash of $10.8 million.
•The increase in receivables used cash of $8.2 million and was primarily due to the timing of Title IV disbursements and other cash receipts on behalf of our students.
•The change in other liabilities used cash of $4.3 million primarily due to the reclassification of the CARES payroll tax deferral to current liabilities.
Net income, after adjustments for non-cash items, for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 provided cash of $26.9 million. The non-cash items included $11.9 million for amortization of right-of-use assets for operating leases, $10.5 million for depreciation and amortization expense and $1.2 million for stock-based compensation expense.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities used cash of $12.1 million primarily due to the following:
•Changes in our operating lease liability as a result of rent payments used cash of $13.5 million.
•The increase in prepaid expenses used cash of $4.9 million primarily due to the purchase of laptops for future students, as well as prepayments for insurance and property taxes.
•The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses used cash of $1.7 million primarily related to the timing of payments to vendors and for payroll and bonus accruals.
•The decrease in receivables provided cash of $6.1 million and was primarily due to the timing of Title IV disbursements and other cash receipts on behalf of our students.
•The decrease in income tax receivable provided cash of $2.5 million and was primarily attributable to receiving an income tax refund as a result of the CARES Act.
Investing Activities
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, cash used in investing activities was $95.9 million. The cash outflow was primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment of $69.6 million, of which $28.4 million related to the purchase of the Lisle Campus. Other capital expenditures included investments for the consolidation of the Orlando, Florida and Arizona campuses, new campuses in Austin, Texas and Miramar, Florida, and the rollout of new programs at our campuses. Additionally, we purchased MIAT for $26.5 million, net of cash consideration received.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, cash used in investing activities was $16.6 million. The cash outflow was primarily related to the purchase of property and equipment of $54.2 million, of which $45.2 million related to the purchase of the building at our Avondale, Arizona campus location, while the remaining $9.0 million represented capital expenditures for the Lisle, Illinois and Bloomfield, New Jersey welding program expansions, the Orlando, Florida and Sacramento, California consolidations, and other campus investments. The purchase of property and equipment was partially offset by proceeds from maturities of held-to-maturity securities of $37.4 million.

Table of Contents
Financing Activities
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, cash provided by financing activities was $15.4 million which was primarily related to proceeds from our new term loan for the Lisle Campus of $38.0 million, offset by the repayment of long-term debt of $19.0 million and the semi-annual payment of preferred stock dividends of $2.6 million.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, cash provided by financing activities was $27.7 million which was primarily the result of the $31.2 million in proceeds received from the financing of the Avondale, Arizona property in May 2021. This was offset by our semi-annual payment of preferred stock dividends of $2.6 million.
Seasonality and Trends
Our operating results normally fluctuate as a result of seasonal variations in our business, principally due to changes in total student population and costs associated with opening or expanding our campuses. Our student population varies as a result of new student enrollments, graduations and student attrition. Historically, we have had lower student populations in our third quarter than in the remainder of our year because fewer students are enrolled during the summer months. Additionally, we have had higher student populations in our fourth quarter than in the remainder of the year because more students enroll during this period. Our expenses, however, do not vary significantly with changes in student population and revenues, and, as a result, such expenses do not fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. We expect quarterly fluctuations in operating results to continue as a result of seasonal enrollment patterns. However, such patterns may change as a result of new school openings, new program introductions, increased enrollments of adult students or acquisitions.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP and management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating results require management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 from those previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K other than noted below.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of August 1, or more frequently if events and circumstances warrant. Under ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, to evaluate the impairment of goodwill, we first assess qualitative factors, such as deterioration in the operating performance of the acquired business, adverse market conditions, adverse changes in the applicable laws or regulations and a variety of other circumstances, to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. To evaluate the impairment of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, we assess the fair value of the assets to determine whether they were greater or less than the carrying values. If we conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount based on our qualitative assessment, or that a qualitative assessment should not be performed, we proceed with the quantitative impairment tests to compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying value of its net assets. Determining the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is judgmental in nature and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We believe the most critical assumptions and estimates in determining the estimated fair value of our reporting units include, but are not limited to, future tuition revenues, operating costs, working capital changes, capital expenditures and a discount rate. The assumptions used in determining our expected future cash flows consider various factors such as historical operating trends particularly in student enrollment and pricing and long-term operating strategies and initiatives. There were no indicators of impairment for our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2022.
We also have definite-lived intangible assets, which primarily consist of purchased intangibles and capitalized curriculum development costs. The definite-lived intangible assets are recognized at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our principal exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates.
We invest our cash and cash equivalents in money market funds. As of June 30, 2022, we held $70.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we earned interest income of $88 thousand. As we have a restrictive investment policy, our financial exposure to fluctuations in interest rates related to our interest income is expected to remain low. We do not believe that the value or liquidity of our cash and cash equivalents and investments have been significantly impacted by current market events.
On May 12, 2021, we entered into a credit agreement to finance the Avondale property through a $31.2 million term loan that bears interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.0% with a maturity of seven years. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of our long-term debt was $30.3 million and bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to the LIBOR plus 2.0%, which was 3.06% as of June 30, 2022.
On April 14, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement to finance the Lisle property through a $38.0 million term loan that bears interest at the rate of SOFR plus 2.0% with a maturity of seven years. As of June 30, 2022, the fair value of our long-term debt was $38.0 million and bears interest on the outstanding principal amount at a rate equal to the SOFR plus 2.0%, which was 3.05% as of June 30, 2022.
We believe the carrying value of the debt approximates fair value as the interest rate is a floating rate equal to the LIBOR or SOFR plus 2.0%, which is representative of market rates for similar instruments. It is anticipated that the fair market value of our debt will continue to be immaterially affected by fluctuations in interest rates and we do not believe that the value of our debt has been significantly impacted by current market events. The variable rate of interest on our long-term debt can expose us to interest rate volatility due to changes in LIBOR and SOFR. To mitigate this exposure, we entered into interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix the interest rates on 50% of the principal amounts of the term loans at 3.5% and 4.69% for the entire loan term on our Avondale debt and Lisle debt, respectively.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded interest expense of $1.3 million on our outstanding debt. Assuming all terms of our outstanding long-term debt remained the same, a hypothetical 10.0% change (up or down) in the one-month LIBOR or SOFR rate would result in a $3.4 million change to our annual interest expense for the portion of the long-term debt not hedged by the interest rate swap agreement.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022 were effective in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system,

no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls also can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that internal controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions, or through the deterioration of the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the ordinary conduct of our business, we are periodically subject to lawsuits, demands in arbitrations, investigations, regulatory proceedings or other claims, including, but not limited to, claims involving current and former students, routine employment matters, business disputes and regulatory demands. When we are aware of a claim or potential claim, we assess the likelihood of any loss or exposure. If it is probable that a loss will result and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, we would accrue a liability for the loss. When a loss is not both probable and estimable, we do not accrue a liability. Where a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible, including if a loss in excess of an accrued liability is reasonably possible, we determine whether it is possible to provide an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim. Because we cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolution of the legal proceedings (including lawsuits, investigations, regulatory proceedings or claims) asserted against us, it is not currently possible to provide such an estimate. The ultimate outcome of pending legal proceedings to which we are a party may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, results of operations or financial condition.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the information contained in Part I, Item 3, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item IA of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The risks described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
