Laureate lifts 2025 guidance, ups buybacks
Laureate Education reported Q3 2025 revenue up 9% to $400.2 million, with Adjusted EBITDA rising 4% to $94.8 million despite $7 million in academic calendar timing headwinds; year-to-date, enrollments grew 6% to 511,400 while revenue increased 2% to $1,160.5 million. The company boosted full-year guidance to $1,681-$1,686 million in revenue and $508-$512 million in Adjusted EBITDA, fueled by strong intakes in Peru's online programs and Mexico's resilience amid softer economics. Board approved $150 million hike in share repurchases, signaling confidence in cash flows. Yet FX volatility hit net income.

Q3 FY2025 results
Laureate Education posted solid Q3 revenue growth of 9% y/y to $400.2M, fueled by higher enrollments in Mexico (up 7% to $194.8M) and Peru (up 10% to $205.3M), though operating income dipped 1% y/y to $71.5M amid rising costs. Diluted EPS from continuing operations fell to $0.23 from $0.56, aligning with 148,211 diluted shares, while YTD revenue edged up 2% y/y to $1,160.5M and operating income rose 1% y/y to $251.6M, with YTD diluted EPS at $0.74 on 149,230 shares. Cash swelled to $241.0M, free cash flow hit $236.7M YTD (derived), and debt stayed low at $102.4M with full $155M revolver availability; share repurchases totaled $71.6M YTD. Mexico drove gains, but Peru faced calendar timing headwinds. Yet competition from public universities looms large.

Q2 revenue up 10% organically
Laureate Education reported Q2 2025 revenue of $524.2 million, up 5% reported but 10% organically on constant currency, fueled by 7% new enrollment growth across Mexico and Peru. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 15% to $214.5 million, yet net income dipped to $97.4 million from a $53 million foreign exchange loss on intercompany loans. The company boosted full-year guidance to $1,615-$1,630 million revenue and $489-$496 million Adjusted EBITDA, expecting calendar timing offsets in H2. Strong enrollments signal steady demand.

Q2 FY2025 results
Laureate Education posted solid Q2 FY2025 results, with revenues climbing 5% year-over-year to $524.2M, fueled by higher organic enrollment and pricing tweaks in Mexico and Peru, though a weakening Mexican peso shaved off some gains. Operating income surged 16% to $193.3M, reflecting tighter cost controls amid seasonal summer lulls. Yet foreign exchange losses hammered net income down 24% to $95.1M attributable to the company, with diluted EPS at $0.65 versus $0.83 last year—currency swings explain the gap, not operations. Cash from operations hit $131.8M year-to-date, funding $71.6M in stock buybacks while ending with $135.3M in cash and $142.5M available on the revolver. Free cash flow stood at $113.95M (derived). Mexico and Peru each topped 40% of revenues. Competition from public universities looms large in these maturing markets.

Annual meeting results affirm governance
Laureate Education's stockholders convened their 2025 Annual Meeting on May 22, overwhelmingly electing all ten director nominees, including Andrew B. Cohen and Dr. Judith Rodin, for one-year terms amid some withheld votes on Rodin. They also approved, on a non-binding basis, executive compensation and ratified PricewaterhouseCoopers as auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Votes sailed through. Strong support signals board stability, yet Rodin's 37 million withheld votes hint at pockets of dissent.
