DEVRY INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

NOTE 1: INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DeVry Inc. (“DeVry”) and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. These financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of DeVry. The June 30, 2012 data that is presented is derived from audited financial statements.

The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Marketable Securities and Investments

DeVry owns investments in marketable securities that have been designated as “available for sale” in accordance with authoritative guidance. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income.

Marketable securities and investments consist of investments in mutual funds which are classified as available-for-sale securities. The following is a summary of our marketable securities at September 30, 2012 (dollars in thousands):

 

             Gross Unrealized         

September 30, 2012

   Cost      (Loss)     Gain      Fair Value  

Marketable Securities:

          

Bond Mutual Fund

   $ 954      $ —        $ 108      $ 1,062  

Stock Mutual Funds

     2,037        (349     —           1,688  
  

 

 

    

 

 

   

 

 

    

 

 

 

Total Marketable Securities

   $ 2,991      $ (349   $ 108      $ 2,750  
  

 

 

    

 

 

   

 

 

    

 

 

 

Investments are classified as short-term if they are readily convertible to cash or have other characteristics of short-term investments such as highly liquid markets or maturities within one year. All mutual fund investments are recorded at fair market value based upon quoted market prices. At September 30, 2012, all of the Bond and Stock mutual fund investments are held in a rabbi trust for the purpose of paying benefits under DeVry’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

As of September 30, 2012, all unrealized losses in the above table have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than one year. When evaluating its investments for possible impairment, DeVry reviews factors such as length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and DeVry’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time that may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in fair value. The decline in value of the above investments is considered temporary in nature and, accordingly, DeVry does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

Realized gains and losses are computed on the basis of specific identification and are included in Interest and Other Income/(Expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. DeVry has not recorded any realized gains or realized losses for the three months ended September 30, 2012. See Note 4 for further disclosures on the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Internal-Use Software Development Costs

DeVry capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs that are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the software, not to exceed five years. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of equipment, materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the internal-use software development project. Capitalization of such costs ceases at the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Capitalized internal-use software development costs for projects not yet complete are included as construction in progress in the Land, Buildings and Equipment section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $2.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively, primarily related to Project DELTA (a new student information system for DeVry University and Chamberlain College of Nursing). As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the net balance of capitalized software development costs was $73.0 million and $68.8 million, respectively.

Perkins Program Fund

DeVry University is required, under federal aid program regulations, to make contributions to the Perkins Student Loan Fund, most recently at a rate equal to 33% of new contributions by the federal government. No new federal contributions were received in fiscal years 2013 or 2012. DeVry carries its investment in such contributions at original values, net of allowances for expected losses on loan collections, of $2.6 million at September 30, 2012 and 2011. The allowance for future loan losses is based upon an analysis of actual loan losses experienced since the inception of the program. As previous borrowers repay their Perkins loans, their payments are used to fund new loans, thus creating a revolving loan fund. The federal contributions to this revolving loan program do not belong to DeVry and are not recorded on its financial statements. Under current law, upon termination of the program by the federal government or withdrawal from future program participation by DeVry University, subsequent student loan repayments would be divided between the federal government and DeVry University to satisfy their respective cumulative contributions to the fund.

Non-Controlling Interest

DeVry maintains an 83.5 percent ownership interest in DeVry Brasil with the remaining 16.5 percent owned by the current DeVry Brasil management group. Beginning January 2013, DeVry has the right to exercise a call option and purchase any remaining DeVry Brasil stock from DeVry Brasil management. Likewise, DeVry Brasil management has the right to exercise a put option and sell its remaining ownership interest in DeVry Brasil to DeVry. These options may become exercisable prior to January 2013 if DeVry Brasil’s management ownership interest falls below five percent. Since the put option is out of the control of DeVry, authoritative guidance requires the non-controlling interest, which includes the value of the put option, to be displayed outside of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet.

The DeVry Brasil management put option is being accreted to its redemption value according to the stock purchase agreement. The adjustment to increase or decrease the put option to its redemption value each reporting period is recorded to retained earnings in accordance with the authoritative guidance. The fair value of this put option does not exceed its recorded redemption value. The adjustment to increase or decrease the DeVry Brasil non-controlling interest each reporting period for its proportionate share of DeVry Brasil’s profit/loss will continue to flow through the consolidated income statement based on DeVry’s historical non-controlling interest accounting policy.

Table of Contents

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to DeVry Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus unvested participating restricted share units. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to DeVry Inc. by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive shares are computed using the Treasury Stock Method and reflect the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive stock options were exercised during the period. Excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share were options to purchase 2,498,000 and 937,000 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These outstanding options were excluded because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares or the assumed proceeds upon exercise under the Treasury Stock Method resulted in the repurchase of more shares than would be issued; thus, their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Treasury Stock

DeVry’s Board of Directors has authorized stock repurchase programs on eight occasions (see “Note 6 – Dividends and Stock Repurchase Program”). The first six repurchase programs are all completed as of September 2012. The seventh repurchase program was approved by the DeVry Board of Directors on November 2, 2011, and it was commenced in late December 2011. The eighth repurchase program was approved by the DeVry Board of Directors on August 29, 2012. Shares that are repurchased by DeVry are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.

From time to time, shares of its common stock are delivered back to DeVry under a swap arrangement resulting from employees’ exercise of incentive stock options pursuant to the terms of the DeVry Stock Incentive Plans (see “Note 3 – Stock-Based Compensation”). These shares are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.

Treasury shares are reissued on a monthly basis at market value to the DeVry Employee Stock Purchase Plan in exchange for employee payroll deductions. When treasury shares are reissued, DeVry uses an average cost method to reduce the Treasury Stock balance. Gains on the difference between the average cost and the reissuance price are credited to Additional Paid-in Capital. Losses on the difference are charged to Additional Paid-in Capital to the extent that previous net gains from reissuance are included therein; otherwise such losses are charged to Retained Earnings.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income

Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income is composed of the change in cumulative translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of the effects of income taxes.

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income balance at September 30, 2012, consists of $5.2 million ($4.6 million attributable to DeVry Inc. and $0.6 million attributable to non-controlling interests) of cumulative translation losses and $0.2 million of unrealized losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.1 million and all attributable to DeVry Inc. At September 30, 2011, this balance consisted of $5.7 million ($4.5 million attributable to DeVry Inc. and $1.2 million attributable to non-controlling interests) of cumulative translation gains and $0.4 million of unrealized losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.2 million and all attributable to DeVry Inc.

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are recognized as expense in the period in which materials are purchased or services are performed. Advertising expense, which is included in student services and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $68.2 million and $70.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which amends the application of existing guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amended guidance will allow, but not require, an initial assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount for purposes of determining whether it is necessary to perform further asset impairment testing. This guidance will be effective for our interim and annual impairment tests performed for reporting periods beginning July 1, 2013. Application of this guidance will not have a significant effect on DeVry’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which amends the application of existing guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance will allow, but not require, an initial assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount for purposes of determining whether it is necessary to perform further goodwill impairment testing. This guidance was effective for our interim and annual impairment tests performed for reporting periods beginning July 1, 2012, and did not have a significant effect on DeVry’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

DeVry maintains four stock-based award plans: the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2005 Incentive Plan. Under these plans, directors, key executives and managerial employees are eligible to receive incentive stock or nonqualified options to purchase shares of DeVry’s common stock. The 2005 Incentive Plan also permits the award of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance stock and other stock and cash based compensation. Though options remain outstanding under the 1994 and 1999 Stock Incentive Plans, no further stock based awards will be issued from these plans. The 2003 Stock Incentive Plans and the 2005 Incentive Plan are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options are granted for terms of up to 10 years and can vest immediately or over periods of up to five years. The requisite service period is equal to the vesting period. The option price under the plans is the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.

DeVry accounts for options granted to retirement eligible employees that fully vest upon an employees’ retirement under the non-substantive vesting period approach to these options. Under this approach, the entire compensation cost is recognized at the grant date for options issued to retirement eligible employees.

At September 30, 2012, 6,787,887 authorized but unissued shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under DeVry’s stock incentive plans.

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period, reduced by an estimated forfeiture rate.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

The fair value of DeVry’s stock-based awards was estimated using a binomial model. This model uses historical cancellation and exercise experience of DeVry to determine the option value. It also takes into account the illiquid nature of employee options during the vesting period.

The weighted average estimated grant date fair values, for options granted at market price under DeVry’s stock option plans during first three months of fiscal years 2013 and 2012 were $7.61 and $17.50, per share, respectively. The fair values of DeVry’s stock option awards were estimated assuming the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     Fiscal Year  
     2013     2012  

Expected Life (in Years)

     6.63       6.65  

Expected Volatility

     43.67     42.27

Risk-free Interest Rate

     1.03     1.52

Dividend Yield

     0.61     0.38

Pre-vesting Forfeiture Rate

     3.00     5.00

The expected life of the options granted is based on the weighted average exercise life with age and salary adjustment factors from historical exercise behavior. DeVry’s expected volatility is computed by combining and weighting the implied market volatility, the most recent volatility over the expected life of the option grant, and DeVry’s long-term historical volatility. The pre-vesting forfeiture rate is based on DeVry’s historical stock option forfeiture experience.

If factors change and different assumptions are employed in the valuation of stock-based awards in future periods, the stock-based compensation expense that DeVry records may differ significantly from what was recorded in previous periods.

During the first three months of fiscal year 2013, DeVry granted 630,290 shares of restricted stock to selected employees and non-employee directors. Of these, 121,500 are performance based shares which are earned by the recipients over a three year period based on achievement of specified DeVry performance targets. The remaining 508,790 shares and all other previously granted shares of restricted stock that are not performance-based are subject to restrictions which lapse ratably over three and four-year periods on the grant anniversary date based on the recipient’s continued service on the Board of Directors or employment with DeVry, or upon retirement. During the restriction period, the recipient of the non-performance based shares shall have a beneficial interest in the restricted stock and all associated rights and privileges of a stockholder, including the right to receive dividends. These rights do not pertain to the performance based shares. The following is a summary of restricted stock activity for the three months ended September 30, 2012:

As of September 30, 2012, $32.8 million of total pre-tax unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.7 years. The total fair value of options and shares vested during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $9.2 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at September 30, 2012 and 2011.

DeVry has an established practice of issuing new shares of common stock to satisfy share option exercises. However, DeVry also may issue treasury shares to satisfy option exercises under certain of its plans.

NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

DeVry has elected not to measure any assets or liabilities at fair value other than those required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis such as goodwill and intangible assets. Management has fully considered all authoritative guidance when determining the fair value of DeVry’s financial assets as of September 30, 2012.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The guidance establishes fair value measurement classifications under the following hierarchy:

Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

When available, DeVry uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and such measurements are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, DeVry makes use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates and yield curves. These measurements are classified within Level 3.

Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination. These assets are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. See “Note 8: Intangible Assets” to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 for further discussion on the impairment review including valuation techniques and assumptions.

Cash Equivalents and investments in short-term Marketable Securities are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments. The ATC earn-out liability is valued using standard present value techniques and a discount rate of 6.2%, which management considers a reasonable market participant would assume for this type of liability and duration. The Faculdade do Vale do Ipojuca (“FAVIP”) contingent consideration is valued at a percentage of its potential settlement price based on the estimated probability of FAVIP achieving university center status. See “Note 7: Business Combinations” for further information on these liabilities.

The fair value of the institutional loans receivable included in Accounts Receivable, net and Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2012 is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates for similar arrangements. As of September 30, 2012, the carrying value and the estimated fair value of these financial instruments was approximately $38.0 million. See “Note 5: Financing Receivables” for further discussion on these institutional loans receivable.

Below is a roll-forward of liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 (dollars in thousands). The amount recorded as interest expense in fiscal 2013 is classified in the Interest and Other (Expense) Income section of the Consolidated Statements of Income. The amount recorded as foreign currency translation loss is classified as student services and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 5: FINANCING RECEIVABLES

DeVry’s institutional loan programs are available to students at its DeVry University, Chamberlain College of Nursing, Carrington College and Carrington College of California schools as well as selected students at Ross University School of Medicine and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine. These loan programs are designed to assist students who are unable to completely cover educational costs by other means. These loans may be used for tuition, books, and fees, and are available only after all other student financial assistance has been applied toward those purposes. In addition, Ross University School of Medicine and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine loans may be used for students’ living expenses. Repayment plans for institutional loan program balances are developed to address the financial circumstances of the particular student. Interest charges accrue each month on the unpaid balance. After a student leaves school, the student typically will have a monthly installment repayment plan with all balances due within 12 to 60 months. In addition, the Becker CPA Review Course can be financed through Becker with a zero percent, 18-month term loan.

Table of Contents

Reserves for uncollectible loans are determined by analyzing the current aging of accounts receivable and historical loss rates of loans at each educational institution. In addition, management considers projections of future receivable levels on a per account basis and collection loss rates. Management performs this analysis periodically throughout the year. Since all of DeVry’s financing receivables are generated through the extension of credit to students to fund educational costs, all such receivables are considered part of the same loan portfolio.

The following table details the institutional loan balances along with the related allowances for credit losses as of September 30, 2012 and 2011.

On November 2, 2011, the Board authorized a seventh share repurchase program, which will allow DeVry to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock through December 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, the total remaining authorization under this repurchase program was $7.9 million. On August 29, 2012, the Board authorized an eighth share repurchase program, which will allow DeVry to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock through December 31, 2014. The timing and amount of any repurchase will be determined based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Shares of stock repurchased under the programs are held as treasury shares. These repurchased shares have reduced the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

NOTE 7: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

American University of the Caribbean

On August 3, 2011, AUC School of Medicine B.V. (“AUC BV”) a wholly owned St. Maarten subsidiary of DeVry Inc. acquired the international business operations of privately held American University of the Caribbean (“AUC”). DeVry Medical International, Inc. (“DMI”), a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of DeVry Inc. acquired the Florida business operations of Medical Education Services, Inc. (“MES”). Under the terms of the agreement, AUC BV and DMI paid a combined $228 million in cash in exchange for the business assets of AUC and MES.

AUC’s medical school campus is located in St. Maarten, and its administrative offices are located in Coral Gables, Florida. Since 1978, AUC has provided its students with medical education, and now has more than 4,000 graduates who are licensed and practicing medicine throughout the world. The school is accredited by the Accreditation Commission on Colleges of Medicine (ACCM), and its students are eligible to sit for the United States Medical Licensing Examination, obtain U.S. Federal Financial Aid if qualified, become members of the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) and, upon graduation, obtain residency and licensure throughout the United States. AUC is one of only three Caribbean medical schools whose students are eligible to receive federal student aid. AUC utilizes the same curriculum as U.S. medical schools, with two years of basic sciences taught at the St. Maarten campus, followed by two years of clinical sciences taught at affiliated hospitals in the U. S. and England.

The operations of AUC are included in DeVry’s Medical and Healthcare segment. The results of AUC’s operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of DeVry since the date of acquisition.

Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, was all assigned to the AUC reporting unit which is classified within the Medical and Healthcare segment. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill include AUC’s strategic fit into the Medical and Healthcare segment, the reputation of the educational programs and the acquired assembled workforce. The acquired goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Of the $131.4 million of acquired intangible assets, $100 million was assigned to Title IV Eligibility and Accreditations and $17.1 million was assigned to Trade Names, both of which have been determined not to be subject to amortization. The remaining acquired intangible asset was determined to be subject to amortization and its value and estimated useful life is as follows (dollars in thousands):

Faculdade Boa Viagem

On February 29, 2012, Fanor-Faculdades Nordeste S/A (“DeVry Brasil”), a subsidiary of DeVry Inc. acquired the stock of FBV S/A, the Brazilian owner of business operations of Faculdade Boa Viagem (“FBV”). Under the terms of the agreement, DeVry Brasil paid $24.2 million in cash in exchange for the stock of FBV. In addition, DeVry Brasil will make additional installment payments totaling $21.9 million over the next four years.

FBV offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in business, law, engineering, communication, culinary, hospitality, fashion design, and information technology at three campuses located in the city of Recife. The acquisition of FBV is consistent with DeVry’s growth and diversification strategy, increasing its international presence in Brazil.

The operations of FBV are included in DeVry’s International, K-12 and Professional Education segment. The results of FBV’s operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of DeVry since the date of acquisition.

Goodwill, which represents the excess of cost over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, was all assigned to the DeVry Brasil reporting unit which is classified within the International, K-12 and Professional Education segment. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill include FBV’s strategic fit into DeVry’s expanding presence in northeast Brazil, the reputation of the educational programs and the acquired assembled workforce. None of the goodwill acquired is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. Of the $19.1 million of acquired intangible assets, $13.5 million was assigned to Accreditations and $2.3 million was assigned to Trade Names, both of which have been determined not to be subject to amortization. The remaining acquired intangible assets were determined to be subject to amortization with a weighted average useful life of approximately 5.8 years. Their values and estimated useful lives by asset type are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Falcon Physician Reviews

On April 2, 2012, Becker Professional Education (Becker), a subsidiary of DeVry Inc., acquired the operations of Falcon Physician Reviews (Falcon). Falcon offers comprehensive review programs for medical students preparing for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX). Under the terms of the agreement, Becker paid approximately $5.4 million in cash in exchange for the operations of Falcon. The transaction marked Becker’s entrance into the growing healthcare professional education market. The results of Falcon’s operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of DeVry since the date of acquisition.

Faculdade do Vale do Ipojuca

On September 3, 2012, Fanor-Faculdades Nordeste S/A (“DeVry Brasil”), a subsidiary of DeVry Inc. acquired the business operations of Faculdade do Vale do Ipojuca (“FAVIP”), which is located in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Under the terms of the agreement, DeVry Brasil paid approximately $30.3 million in cash in exchange for the stock of FAVIP. In addition, DeVry Brasil will be required to make an additional payment of approximately $3.9 million over the next 12 months should FAVIP receive status of a university center.

FAVIP currently serves about 5,000 students and offers more than 30 undergraduate and graduate programs at two campuses located in Caruaru, the state’s second largest city. The institution’s largest programs are in the areas of law, business, psychology and nutrition. The acquisition of FAVIP is consistent with DeVry’s growth and diversification strategy, increasing its international presence in Brazil.

The operations of FAVIP are included in DeVry’s International, K-12 and Professional Education segment. The results of FAVIP’s operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of DeVry since the date of acquisition.

All amortizable intangible assets, except for the DeVry Brasil (Fanor, Ruy Barbosa and AREA 1) Student Relationships, the FBV Student Relationships, the FAVIP Student Relationships and the AUC Student Relationships, are being amortized on a straight-line basis.

The amount being amortized for the DeVry Brasil Student Relationships is based on the estimated progression of the students through the respective programs, giving consideration to the revenue and cash flow associated with both existing students and new applicants. This results in the basis being amortized at an annual rate for each of the years of estimated economic life as follows:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to Trademarks, Trade Names, Title IV Eligibility, Accreditations and Intellectual Property are not amortized, as there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets to the reporting entity.

Authoritative guidance provides that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. As of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 impairment review, there was no impairment loss associated with recorded goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets for any reporting unit other than Advanced Academics, Inc. (“AAI”), as estimated fair values exceeded the carrying amounts.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012, revenues and operating income for DeVry’s AAI reporting unit were significantly below management’s expectations driven by a larger than expected decline in school district contract revenue. As a result of significant declines in revenues, AAI generated an operating loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 that was significantly worse than management’s expectations which projected operating income for this period. Accordingly, management revised its forecast and future cash flow projections for AAI. Management’s impairment analysis resulted in an estimated fair value for the AAI reporting unit that was less than its carrying value by approximately $20 million. This difference was greater than the balance of AAI’s combined intangible assets and goodwill. As a result, management determined the indefinite-lived intangible asset and goodwill were considered to be impaired and should be fully written-off. Accordingly, AAI’s Trade Name indefinite-lived intangible asset and the goodwill balance were written down by $1.3 million and $17.1 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Table of Contents

All other DeVry reporting units’ estimated fair values exceeded their carrying values as of the fourth quarter impairment analysis by at least 25% except for Carrington. At Carrington the fair value slightly exceeded carrying value. The smaller premium for the Carrington reporting unit would be expected considering an impairment charge was recorded for this reporting unit during fiscal 2012. Consequently, there had been less time for this organization to have appreciated in value from its previous impairment date.

Management does consider certain triggering events when evaluating whether interim impairment analysis is warranted. Among these would be a significant long-term decrease in the market capitalization of DeVry based on events specific to DeVry’s operations. As of September 30, 2012, DeVry’s market capitalization exceeded its book value by approximately 6%. Though this premium is lower than the 47% as of June 30, 2012, it is partially the result of depressed operating results that management believes are short-term in nature. Management also believes the decline in the market price of DeVry’s common stock has been partially caused by the continued overhang of government regulatory changes in the education industry. These changes have led to significant uncertainty among investors and have worked to keep the prices of private sector education stocks at depressed levels for the last 18 months. Once these changes are fully digested and DeVry is able to demonstrate improved operating performance under the new regulations, management believes the stock price will react favorably. Other triggering events that could be cause for an interim impairment review would be changes in the accreditation, regulatory or legal environment; unexpected competition; and changes in the market acceptance of our educational programs and the graduates of those programs.

Though some reporting units experienced a decline in operating results during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 as compared to the year-ago period, management does not believe business conditions have deteriorated in any of its reporting units to the extent that the fair values of the reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets would differ materially from their fiscal year 2012 fair values.

At DeVry University, which carries a goodwill balance of $22.2 million, revenue declined by approximately 16% from the year-ago quarter. The revenue decline at DeVry University was the result of lower student enrollments. Management believes these declines are due to economic uncertainties and the prolonged economic downturn. To address this issue, DeVry University is focused on improving the admissions process to better serve prospective students. Though operating profits declined by approximately 33%, DeVry University remains profitable with operating margins of 9%. Management believes its planned business and operational strategies will reverse the negative trends in the foreseeable future. However, if operating improvements are not realized, all or some of the goodwill could be impaired in the future. The impairment review completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 indicated the fair value exceeded the carrying value of the DeVry University reporting unit by 250%.

At Carrington, which carries a goodwill balance of $151.9 million as of September 30, 2012, revenue declined by 10% from the year-ago quarter. The revenue decline at Carrington was the result of lower total student enrollments. Management believes these declines are due to economic uncertainties and the prolonged economic downturn. To address this issue, Carrington is focused on building brand awareness and improving communications designed to produce a direct prospective student response. Carrington is also making additional investments in its website interface and admissions processes to better serve prospective students. The revenue decline has also resulted in operating losses. Management believes its planned business and operational strategies will reverse the negative trend in the foreseeable future. However, if operating improvements are not realized, all or some of the remaining goodwill could be impaired in the future. The impairment review completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 indicated the fair value exceeded the carrying value of the Carrington reporting unit by less than five percent.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit or an intangible asset involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. Management bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable at the time, but such assumptions are subject to inherent uncertainty. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Total goodwill increased by $14.9 million from June 30, 2012. This increase is the result of the addition of $14.3 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition of FAVIP and changes in the values of the Brazilian Real and the British Pound Sterling as compared to the U.S. dollar. Since DeVry Brasil and ATC goodwill is recorded in their respective local currencies, fluctuations in their value in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset.

Total indefinite-lived intangible assets increased by $11.6 million from June 30, 2012. This increase is the result of the addition of $11.3 million of indefinite-lived intangibles associated with the acquisition of FAVIP plus the effects of foreign currency translation on the DeVry Brasil assets. Since DeVry Brasil intangible assets are recorded in the local Brazilian currency, fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian Real in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of these assets.

NOTE 9: RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, DeVry implemented an involuntary reduction in force (RIF) that reduced its workforce by approximately 570 positions across all reporting units. This resulted in a pre-tax charge of approximately $7.1 million that primarily represented severance pay and benefits for these employees. This was allocated to the segments as follows: $5.0 million to Business Technology and Management, $2.0 million to Medical and Healthcare and $0.1 million to International, K-12 and Professional Education. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, DeVry recorded an additional $0.7 million pre-tax charge for additional severance pay and benefits primarily to the Business Technology and Management segment. Cash payments for the severance charges and restructuring charges were approximately $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The remaining $3.1 million is accrued as of September 30, 2012, and is expected to be paid by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

In late October 2012, DeVry made the decision to consolidate administrative offices in the Chicagoland area. As a result, the company-owned facility in Wood Dale, Illinois will be closed in December 2012 and employees will be re-located to other facilities in the area. The Wood Dale facility will be held as available for sale. This will result in a charge of $9 to $10 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 for an expected loss on this asset sale.

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES

DeVry’s effective income tax rate reflects benefits derived from significant operations outside the United States. Earnings of these international operations are not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes, so long as such earnings are not repatriated, as discussed below. Four of our subsidiaries, Ross University School of Medicine (the Medical School) incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (the Veterinary School) incorporated under the laws of the Federation of St. Christopher, Nevis, St. Kitts in the West Indies, DeVry Brasil incorporated under the laws of Brazil, and AUC School of Medicine BV (AUC) incorporated under the laws of Sint Maarten all benefit from local tax incentives. The Medical and Veterinary Schools have agreements with the respective governments that exempt them from local income taxation through the years 2043 and 2023, respectively, while DeVry Brasil’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from its participation in PROUNI, a Brazilian program for providing scholarships to a portion of its undergraduate students. AUC’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from investment incentives.

DeVry has not recorded a U.S. federal or state tax provision for the undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries. It is DeVry’s intention to indefinitely reinvest accumulated cash balances, future cash flows and post-acquisition undistributed earnings and profits to improve the facilities and operations of its international schools and pursue future opportunities outside the United States. In accordance with this plan, cash held by the international subsidiaries will not be available for general company purposes and under current laws will not be subject to U.S. taxation. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, cumulative undistributed earnings attributable to international operations were approximately $432.4 million and $350.2 million, respectively.

Taxes on income were 29.1% of pretax income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to 27.9% for the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to the tax expected on the amount of subpart F income that would be recognized for the current year assuming Internal Revenue Code Section 954(c)(6), Look-Thru Rule for Related Controlled Foreign Corporations, is not extended. The look-thru rule generally excludes from U.S. federal income tax certain dividends, interest, rents, and royalties received or accrued by one controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) of a U.S. multinational enterprise from a related CFC that would otherwise be taxable pursuant to the subpart F regime. The tax provision permitting the look-thru rule lapsed for DeVry at the end of fiscal year 2012. A proposal to extend the look-thru rule retroactively has been included in proposed legislation but has not been enacted as of September 30, 2012. If the proposal is enacted later in 2012 or 2013, the annual effective tax rate will be adjusted in the interim period that includes the enactment date. A discrete adjustment may have a substantial impact on reducing the effective tax rate for that quarter.

As of September 30, 2012, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions, including positions impacting only the timing of tax benefits, was $23 million, and, if recognized, the total amount would impact the effective tax rate. As of September 30, 2011, gross unrecognized tax benefits, including positions impacting only the timing of benefits, was $8.9 million, and, if recognized, the total amount would impact the effective tax rate. We expect that our unrecognized tax benefits will increase by an insignificant amount during the next twelve months. DeVry classifies interest and penalties on tax uncertainties as a component of the provision for income taxes. The total amount of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2012 was $1.9 million. The corresponding amount at September 30, 2012 was $2.2 million.

NOTE 11: DEBT

DeVry had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011.

Revolving Credit Facility

All of DeVry’s borrowings and letters of credit under its $400 million revolving credit facility are through DeVry Inc. At the request of DeVry, the maximum borrowings and letters of credit can be increased to $550 million. There are no required principal payments under this revolving credit agreement and all borrowings and letters of credit mature in May 2016. As a result of the

Table of Contents

agreement extending beyond one year, any borrowings would be classified as long-term with the exception of amounts expected to be repaid in the 12 months subsequent to the balance sheet date. DeVry Inc. letters of credit outstanding under this agreement were $9.3 million and $1.9 million as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, if there were outstanding borrowings under this agreement they would bear interest, payable quarterly or upon expiration of the interest rate period, at the prime rate plus 0.75% or at a LIBOR rate plus 1.75%, at the option of DeVry. As of September 30, 2012, outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit agreement are charged an annual fee equal to 1.75% of the undrawn face amount of the letter of credit, payable quarterly. The agreement also requires payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.2% of the undrawn portion of the credit facility as of September 30, 2012. The interest rate, letter of credit fees and commitment fees are adjustable quarterly, based upon DeVry’s achievement of certain financial ratios. Interest rate margins can be raised as high as 1.5% on prime rate loans and 2.5% on LIBOR rate loans.

The revolving credit agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. These financial ratios include a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated leverage ratio and a composite Equity, Primary Reserve and Net Income Department of Education Financial Responsibility Ratio (“DOE Ratio”). Failure to maintain any of these ratios or to comply with other covenants contained in the agreement will constitute an event of default and could result in termination of the agreement and require payment of all outstanding borrowings. DeVry was in compliance with the financial debt covenants as of September 30, 2012.

The stock of certain subsidiaries of DeVry is pledged as collateral for the borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

NOTE 12: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

DeVry is subject to occasional lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews and investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other matters arising in the normal conduct of its business. The following is a description of pending litigation that may be considered other than ordinary and routine litigation that is incidental to the business.

The Boca Raton Firefighters’ and Police Pension Fund filed an initial complaint (the “Shareholder Case”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on November 1, 2010 (Case No. 1:10-cv-07031). The initial complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased DeVry common stock between October 25, 2007, and August 13, 2010. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint (the “First Amended Complaint”) on March 7, 2011 alleging the same categories of claims in the initial complaint. The plaintiffs claimed in the First Amended Complaint that DeVry, Daniel Hamburger and Richard M. Gunst violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by failing to disclose abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending practices, thereby increasing DeVry’s student enrollment and revenues and artificially inflating DeVry’s stock price during the class period. On March 27, 2012, Judge John F. Grady dismissed the First Amended Complaint without prejudice, granting Plaintiffs leave to file a second amended complaint by May 4, 2012.

On May 4, 2012, the Plaintiffs again amended their allegations in the Shareholder Case (the “Second Amended Complaint”). The Second Amended Complaint alleges a longer putative class period of October 27, 2007, to August 11, 2011, but narrows the scope of the alleged fraud significantly as compared to the previous two complaints. Plaintiffs now focus exclusively on DeVry’s practices for compensating student Admissions Advisors, alleging DeVry misled the market by failing to disclose that its compensation practices violated federal law and by making affirmative misrepresentations that DeVry complied with compensation regulations. On July 10, 2012, DeVry filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, which is awaiting Judge Grady’s consideration.

Three derivative cases similar to the Shareholder Case also have been filed (“Derivative Actions”). Two of the Derivative Actions were filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division: DeVry shareholder Timothy Hald filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry on January 3, 2011 (Hald v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0087) and Matthew Green (also a DeVry shareholder) filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry on January 7, 2011 (Green v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0770). The Hald and Green cases (the “Consolidated Cases”) were consolidated by court order dated February 9, 2011. Maria Dotro, another DeVry shareholder, filed a third derivative complaint on DeVry’s behalf in the Delaware Court of Chancery on March 11, 2011 (Dotro v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 6263). Both the Consolidated cases and the Dotro case have been stayed by agreement of the parties until certain matters are resolved or clarified with respect to the disposition of the Shareholder Case.

The Derivative Actions allege that Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst, David J. Pauldine, Sharon Thomas Parrott, Ronald L. Taylor, Lisa W. Pickrum, Darren R. Huston, David S. Brown, William T. Keevan, Fernando Ruiz, Harold T. Shapiro, Lyle Logan, Connie R. Curran, and Julia McGee breached their fiduciary duties to DeVry by failing to disclose the same allegedly abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending practices alleged in the Shareholder Case. The Derivative Actions also allege that DeVry’s officers and directors unjustly enriched themselves and wasted DeVry’s assets by (i) causing DeVry to incur substantial costs in defending the Shareholder Case; (ii) causing DeVry to pay compensation and benefits to individuals who breached their fiduciary

 

25


Table of Contents

duties; (iii) causing potential losses from “certain of DeVry’s programs no longer being eligible for federal financial aid;” and (iv) damaging DeVry’s corporate image and goodwill. DeVry and its executives and directors believe the allegations contained in the Derivative Actions are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.

Although DeVry believes that the Shareholder Case and the Derivative Actions are without merit, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation is difficult to predict. At this time, DeVry does not expect that the outcome of any such matter will have a material effect on its cash flows, results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 13: SEGMENT INFORMATION

DeVry’s principal business is providing secondary and post-secondary education. The services of our operations are described in more detail in “Note 1- Nature of Operations” to the consolidated financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. DeVry presents three reportable segments: “Business, Technology and Management”, which includes DeVry University undergraduate and graduate operations; “Medical and Healthcare” which includes the operations of Ross University medical and veterinary schools, American University of the Caribbean, Chamberlain College of Nursing and Carrington Colleges Group; and “International, K-12 and Professional Education”, which includes the operations of DeVry Brasil, Advanced Academics and the professional exam review and training operations of Becker Professional Review.

These segments are consistent with the method by which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (DeVry’s President and CEO) evaluates performance and allocates resources. Performance evaluations are based, in part, on each segment’s operating income, which is defined as income before interest income and expense, amortization, non-controlling interest and income taxes. Intersegment sales are accounted for at amounts comparable to sales to nonaffiliated customers and are eliminated in consolidation. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

The consistent measure of segment operating income excludes income taxes, interest income and expense, amortization and certain corporate-related depreciation and expenses. As such, these items are reconciling items in arriving at income before income taxes. The consistent measure of segment assets excludes deferred income tax assets and certain depreciable corporate assets. Additions to long-lived assets have been measured in this same manner. Reconciling items are included as corporate assets.

Following is a tabulation of business segment information based on the current segmentation for each of the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Corporate information is included where it is needed to reconcile segment data to the consolidated financial statements (dollars in thousands).

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Through its website, DeVry offers (free of charge) its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. DeVry’s Web site is http://www.devryinc.com.

The following discussion of DeVry’s results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with DeVry’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto in Item 1, “FINANCIAL STATEMENTS” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and DeVry’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto in Item 8 “FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA” in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a description of critical accounting policies and estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of DeVry’s financial statements. These include, but are not limited to, the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities; revenue and expense recognition; allowance for uncollectible accounts; internally developed software; land, buildings and equipment; stock-based compensation; impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets; valuation of long-lived assets and income taxes.

The seasonal pattern of DeVry’s enrollments and its educational program starting dates affect the results of operations and the timing of cash flows. Therefore, management believes that comparisons of its results of operations should primarily be made to the corresponding period in the preceding year. Comparisons of financial position should be made to both the end of the previous fiscal year and to the end of the corresponding quarterly period in the preceding year.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those that affect DeVry’s expectations or plans, may constitute “forward-looking statements” subject to the Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

OVERVIEW

DeVry’s financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 reflect continued revenue deceleration within DeVry University, Carrington College and Carrington College California, which resulted in a decline in earnings as compared to the prior year. Management is making good progress towards achieving its top two priorities of realigning DeVry’s cost structure with student enrollments levels, and regaining enrollment growth. Operational and financial highlights for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 include:

 

  During the quarter, DeVry made solid progress in aligning its cost structure with its enrollments, and reengineering and redesigning processes across all institutions. Management expects it will achieve $60 million in total cost and expense savings and value creation opportunities in fiscal year 2013.

 

  For the three month period ended September 2012, new student enrollments at Carrington Colleges increased 33.3% as compared to the same period last year. Carrington continues to invest in its programs, student services, and in improving the effectiveness of its student recruiting efforts.

 

  For the second consecutive quarter, there was improvement in the rate of decline of new undergraduate enrollments at DeVry University.

 

  For the September 2012 term, total student enrollments at Chamberlain College of Nursing (“Chamberlain”) increased 20.2% to a record 12,050 students as compared to the same term last year. Chamberlain continues to invest in its programs, student services and campus locations. Chamberlain began offering nursing programs at its new campus in Atlanta in May 2012, and announced plans to begin teaching courses at its new campus in Cleveland beginning January 2013.

 

  On September 3, 2012, DeVry acquired the business operations of Faculdade do Vale do Ipojuca (FAVIP). The acquisition continues the process of expanding DeVry Brasil’s presence in the northeast area of the country. FAVIP currently serves approximately 5,000 students and offers more than 30 undergraduate and graduate programs at two campuses located in Caruaru, the state’s second largest city. Including this most recent acquisition, DeVry Brasil now serves more than 26,000 students in nine campuses across Northeastern Brazil.

 

  During the quarter, DeVry repurchased 1,130,874 shares of its common stock under its seventh buyback program at an average cost of $22.74 per share.

 

  DeVry’s financial position remained strong generating $164.1 million of operating cash flow during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. As of September 30, 2012, cash and marketable securities balances totaled $247.6 million and there were no outstanding borrowings.

REVENUES

Total consolidated revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 of $482.7 million decreased $36.3 million, or 7.0%, as compared to the year-ago quarter. Revenues decreased within DeVry’s Business, Technology and Management segment as a result of a decline in undergraduate student enrollments and an increase in scholarships due to the challenging economic environment, persistent unemployment and heightened competition. This decrease was partially offset by revenue increases within DeVry’s Medical and Healthcare and International, K-12 and Professional Education segments as a result of growth in total student enrollments and tuition price increases. In addition, the two most recent additions to DeVry Brasil, Faculdade Boa Viagem (FBV), which was acquired on February 29, 2012, and FAVIP, which was acquired September 3, 2012, contributed to offsetting the revenue decline during the quarter.

Management expects that total revenues will be slightly down for total fiscal year 2013 as compared to fiscal year 2012, driven largely by the continuing effect of declines in new student enrollments within DeVry University and Carrington experienced in fiscal year 2012, partially offset by the increase in new student enrollments experienced at Carrington in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 along with anticipated revenue growth within DeVry’s other educational institutions. Management believes that fiscal years 2014 through 2016 will represent a period of recovery and growth for DeVry, assuming modest enrollment growth at DeVry University, a continued recovery of enrollments within Carrington, and continued growth within DeVry’s other educational institutions.

Business, Technology and Management

Business, Technology and Management segment revenues decreased 15.7% to $284.6 million as compared to the year-ago period as a result of a decline in undergraduate student enrollments and graduate coursetakers and an increase in scholarships due to the challenging economic environment, persistent unemployment and heightened competition. The Business, Technology and Management segment is comprised solely of DeVry University. Key trends in enrollment and tuition pricing are set forth below.

Undergraduate new student enrollment by term:

 

  Decreased by 16.6% from July 2011 (9,026 students) to July 2012 (7,532 students); and

 

  Decreased by 8.6% from September 2011 (7,200 students) to September 2012 (6,580 students).

 

30


Table of Contents

Undergraduate total student enrollment by term:

 

  Decreased by 15.8% from July 2011 (59,966 students) to July 2012 (50,503 students); and

 

  Decreased by 14.9% from September 2011 (65,933 students) to September 2012 (56,086 students).

Graduate coursetaker enrollment, including the Keller Graduate School of Management:

The term “coursetaker” refers to the number of courses taken by a student. Thus, one student taking two courses is counted as two coursetakers.

 

  Decreased by 9.0% from the July 2011 session (21,576 coursetakers) to the July 2012 session (19,635 coursetakers); and

 

  Decreased by 7.8% from the September 2011 session (23,937 coursetakers) to the September 2012 session (22,072 coursetakers).

Tuition rates:

 

  Effective July 2012, DeVry University’s U.S. undergraduate tuition is $609 per credit hour for students enrolling in one to six credit hours per session. Tuition is $365 per credit hour for each credit hour in excess of six credit hours. These amounts do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation and living expenses. The impact of this tuition price increase will be partially offset by an increase in the amount of scholarships awarded to DeVry University students.

 

  Effective July 2012, Keller Graduate School of Management program tuition per course is $2,298. This represents an expected weighted average increase of 1.9% compared to the year-ago session.

Management believes the decreases in enrollments were driven by the negative impact on student decision making from the prolonged economic downturn and persistent unemployment, resulting in a reduction in interest from potential students. In addition, management believes heightened competition contributed to the decreases in DeVry University undergraduate and graduate enrollments. To regain enrollment growth at DeVry University, management’s plan includes channel-focused initiatives, technology and brand awareness. In the high school channel, DeVry is leveraging its array of institutions beyond DeVry University to raise awareness of career paths. In the community colleges and corporate channels DeVry University has increased the number of admissions advisors in each of these areas. Technology-focused efforts include the development of a self-service portal that prospective students can use to streamline the application process. DeVry University’s brand awareness campaigns are helping drive higher quality inquiries and steadily improving conversion rates. In addition, management made the decision to increase scholarships and grants to help DeVry University’s students achieve their academic goals. This decision was made in order to assist DeVry University students in difficult economic times and increased competition.

Medical and Healthcare

Medical and Healthcare segment revenues increased 7.4% to $158.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Higher total student enrollments at Chamberlain College of Nursing (“Chamberlain”) and DeVry Medical International (which is composed of Ross University Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine and American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (“AUC”)) were the key drivers of the segment revenue growth, which more than offset a decline in total student enrollments at Carrington Colleges Group, Inc. (“Carrington”). Also, AUC, which was acquired on August 3, 2011, contributed a full quarter of revenue in the current year period as opposed to the two months contributed in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. Key trends for DeVry Medical International, Chamberlain and Carrington are set forth below.

DeVry Medical International new student enrollment by term:

 

  Increased by 13.6% from May 2011 (566 students) to May 2012 (643 students); and

 

  Increased by 8.4% from September 2011 (853 students) to September 2012 (925 students).

DeVry Medical International total student enrollment by term:

 

  Increased by 1.0% from May 2011 (5,885 students) to May 2012 (5,944 students); and

 

  Increased by 2.1% from September 2011 (6,082 students) to September 2012 (6,209 students).

Tuition rates:

 

  Effective September 2012, tuition and fees for the beginning basic sciences portion of the programs at the Ross University School of Medicine and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine are $17,675 and $16,800, respectively, per semester. Tuition and fees for the final clinical portion of the programs are $19,500 per semester for the medical school, and $21,100 per semester for the veterinary school. These tuition rates represent an increase from September 2011 rates of 6.6% and 7.1% for the medical school and 6.3% for the veterinary school. These amounts do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation, and living expenses.

 

  Effective September 2012, tuition and fees for the beginning basic sciences and final clinical rotation portions of AUC’s medical program are $17,925 and $20,050, respectively, per semester. These tuition rates represent an increase from the September 2011 rates of 6.1%.

 

  Effective July 2012, tuition is $665 per credit hour for students enrolling one to six credit hours per session in the Chamberlain BSN (onsite), ADN and LPN-to-RN programs. Tuition is $100 per credit hour per session for each credit hour in excess of six credit hours. These effective tuition rates are expected to be unchanged as compared to the prior year. These amounts do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation and living expenses.

 

  Effective July 2012, tuition is $590 per credit hour for students enrolled in the Chamberlain RN-to-BSN online degree program. This tuition rate is unchanged from the July 2011 tuition rate. Tuition for students enrolled in the online MSN program is $650 per credit hour, which is unchanged from the prior year.

 

  On a per credit hour basis, tuition for Carrington College and Carrington College California programs ranges from $254 per credit hour to $1,651 per credit hour for non-general education courses, with the wide range due to the nature of the programs. General Education courses are charged at $325 per credit hour at Carrington College, and $364 per credit hour at Carrington College California. Student tuition is reduced accordingly for any incoming academic credits that are applicable. Students are charged a non-refundable registration fee of $100, and they are also charged separately for books and special (program specific) supplies and/or testing. A student services fee ranging from $75 to $150 is charged at Carrington College as well, depending on the program. Total program tuition at each institution ranges from approximately $13,000 for certificate programs to over $60,000 for some advanced programs.

Continued demand for medical doctors and veterinarians positively influenced career decisions of new students towards these respective fields of study. Management believes that the historical enrollment increases at DeVry Medical International resulted from the reputation of its academic programs and student outcomes, enhancements made to its marketing and recruiting functions, as well as steps taken to meet increasing student demand such as adding faculty and classrooms. Though management expects these enrollment trends to continue, heightened competition may adversely affect DeVry Medical International’s ability to continue to attract qualified students to its programs.

Table of Contents

The increase in new student enrollments in the July 2012 and September 2012 sessions at Chamberlain was attributable to increased conversion rates for its RN-to-BSN online completion program, the addition of new locations in Indianapolis in March 2012 and Atlanta in May, 2012, along with organic growth at existing locations. The new campuses are both co-located with DeVry University.

Management believes the decline in student enrollments at Carrington is the result of the impact of the prolonged economic downturn and persistent unemployment, which has resulted in reductions in the volume of inquiries from potential students. In addition, management believes a lack of brand awareness resulting from the Carrington name change in July 2010 was a contributing factor to the enrollment decline. To address these issues, Carrington continues to execute a turnaround plan, which includes increasing its focus on building awareness of Carrington’s brand, optimizing its marketing approach to emphasize the development of internally-generated inquiries, and improving its recruiting process through its new student contact center. Carrington is also making targeted investments in enhancing its students’ academic experience. These investments contributed to the 33% growth in new student enrollments for the three month period ended September 2012.

International, K-12 and Professional Education

International, K-12 and Professional Education segment revenues rose 17.0% to $39.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the prior year. DeVry Brasil was the primary driver of revenue growth in this segment due to new and total student enrollment growth as compared to the year-ago period. Revenue growth at DeVry Brasil was primarily the result of the recent acquisitions of FBV, which was acquired on February 29, 2012, and FAVIP, which was acquired on September 3, 2012. Revenue declined at Advanced Academics during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 primarily due to continuing school district budget constraints. Becker Professional Education revenues increased slightly driven primarily by the contribution of Falcon Physician Reviews (“Falcon”) which was acquired in April, 2012. Key enrollment trends for DeVry Brasil are set forth below.

DeVry Brasil new student enrollment by term:

Increased by 2.2% from September 2011 (4,090 students) to September 2012 (4,179 students).

DeVry Brasil total student enrollment by term:

Increased by 9.2% from September 2011 (24,135 students) to September 2012 (26,346 students).

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Cost of Educational Services

The largest component of Cost of Educational Services is the cost of faculty and staff who support educational operations. This expense category also includes the costs of facilities, adjunct faculty, supplies, bookstore and other educational materials, student education-related support activities, and the provision for uncollectible student accounts.

DeVry’s Cost of Educational Services increased 1.8% to $242.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the year-ago quarter. The acquisitions of AUC, which was acquired on August 3, 2011, FBV, which was acquired on February 29, 2012, Falcon, which was acquired on April 3, 2012 and FAVIP, which was acquired on September 3, 2012, accounted for most of the increase during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. In addition, cost increases were also incurred in support of operating a higher number of campus locations for Chamberlain as compared to the prior year and the need to support continued growth at Ross University Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, AUC and DeVry Brasil. These increases were partially offset by lower Costs of Educational Services within DeVry University and Carrington Colleges as a result of savings from cost reduction measures.

As a percent of revenue, Cost of Educational Services increased to 50.2% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 from 45.9% during the prior year period. The increase was the result of decreased operating leverage as a result of revenue declines primarily at DeVry University and Carrington.

In late October 2012, DeVry made the decision to consolidate administrative offices in the Chicagoland area. As a result, the company owned facility in Wood Dale, Illinois will be closed in December 2012 and employees will be re-located to other facilities in the area. The Wood Dale facility will be held as available for sale. This will result in a charge of $9 to $10 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 for an expected loss on this asset sale. DeVry expects to save approximately $2 million annually as a result of the consolidation.

Student Services and Administrative Expense

This expense category includes student admissions, marketing and advertising costs, general and administrative costs, expenses associated with curriculum development, and the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets related to acquisitions of businesses.

Student Services and Administrative Expense declined 3.2% to $194.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the year-ago quarter. The decrease in expenses reflects savings from cost reduction measures (workforce reductions and reduced project spending) and deferred advertising spending. These reductions more than offset the expense growth from the most recent acquisitions of AUC, FBV, Falcon, and FAVIP. Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets in connection with acquisitions of businesses remained flat during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 as compared to the year-ago period. Amortization expense is included entirely in the Student Services and Administrative Expense category.

As a percent of revenue, Student Services and Administrative Expense increased to 40.3% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 from 38.7% during the year-ago quarter. The increase was the result of decreased operating leverage from declining enrollments.

OPERATING INCOME

Total consolidated operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 of $45.8 million decreased 42.7% as compared to the prior year quarter. The revenue declines at DeVry University and Carrington Colleges contributed to the decline in operating income and more than offset the increases in revenue resulting from recent acquisitions and growth in other businesses. The revenue decline was partially offset with the decrease in expenses gained from cost reduction measures, as discussed above. The operating income decline was limited to the Business, Technology and Management segment. The other two operating segments experienced growth in operating income.

Business, Technology and Management

Business, Technology and Management segment operating income decreased 58.3% to $25.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, as compared to the year-ago period. The decrease in operating income was the result of lower revenue and decreased operating leverage. Total segment expenses decreased 6.2% as compared to the year-ago quarter as a result of savings from cost reduction measures, as discussed above. Management continues to mitigate the effects of this challenging environment by aligning its cost structure with student enrollments while also targeting investments in growth initiatives such as new programs.

Medical and Healthcare

Medical and Healthcare segment operating income increased 8.1% to $25.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily the result of increased operating income at both Chamberlain and Ross University Schools of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine and the incremental contribution to operating income from AUC which was acquired on August 3, 2011, and contributed a full quarter of operating income in the current year period as opposed to the two months contributed in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. These increases in operating income more than offset the increase in operating loss at Carrington. The operating loss at Carrington increased as a result of lower total student enrollments as compared to the year-ago quarter, partially offset by cost reduction measures, as discussed above.

International, K-12 and Professional Education

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the International, K-12 and Professional Education segment recorded an operating loss of $0.3 million as compared to an operating loss of $3.0 million in the year-ago quarter. The improved operating results were driven primarily by increased operating leverage within DeVry Brasil and Becker, and a narrowing of the operating loss at Advanced Academics. In addition, the first quarter represents a seasonal low point for tuition revenue at DeVry Brasil, Advanced Academics and ATC International.

NET INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Interest income increased by $0.4 million to $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the year-ago quarter. Interest income increased because of higher invested cash balances at DeVry Brasil invested at higher interest rates available in Brazil.

Interest expense increased by $1.0 million to $1.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 as compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was attributable to interest accreted on earn-outs and installment payments related to the acquisition of FBV, as discussed above.

INCOME TAXES

Taxes on income were 29.1% of pretax income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to 27.9% for the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year increase is primarily attributable to the tax expected on the amount of subpart F income that would be recognized for the current year assuming Internal Revenue Code Section 954(c)(6), Look-Thru Rule for Related Controlled Foreign Corporations, is not extended. The look-thru rule generally excludes from U.S. federal income tax certain dividends, interest, rents, and royalties received or accrued by one controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) of a U.S. multinational enterprise from a related CFC that would otherwise be taxable pursuant to the subpart F regime. The tax provision permitting the look-thru rule lapsed for DeVry at the end of fiscal year 2012. A proposal to extend the look-thru rule retroactively has been included in proposed legislation but has not been enacted as of September 30, 2012. If the proposal is enacted later in 2012 or 2013, the annual effective tax rate will be adjusted in the interim period that includes the enactment date. A discrete adjustment may have a substantial impact on reducing the effective tax rate for that quarter.

DeVry’s effective income tax rate reflects benefits derived from significant operations outside the United States. Earnings of these international operations are not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes, so long as such earnings are not repatriated, as discussed below. Four of our subsidiaries, Ross University School of Medicine (the Medical School) incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (the Veterinary School) incorporated under the laws of the Federation of St. Christopher, Nevis, St. Kitts in the West Indies, DeVry Brasil incorporated under the laws of Brazil, and AUC School of Medicine BV (AUC) incorporated under the laws of Sint Maarten all benefit from local tax incentives. The Medical and Veterinary Schools have agreements with the respective governments that exempt them from local income taxation through the years 2043 and 2023, respectively, while DeVry Brasil’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from their participation in PROUNI, a Brazilian program for providing scholarships to a portion of its undergraduate students. AUC’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from investment incentives.

DeVry intends to indefinitely reinvest international earnings and cash flow to improve and expand facilities and operations at the Medical and Veterinary schools and DeVry Brasil, and pursue other business opportunities outside the United States. Accordingly, DeVry has not recorded a provision for the payment of U.S. income taxes on these earnings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Student Payments

DeVry’s primary source of liquidity is the cash received from payments for student tuition, books, other educational materials and fees. These payments include funds originating as financial aid from various federal, state and provincial loan and grant programs; student and family educational loans (“private loans”); employer educational reimbursements; and student and family financial resources. Private loans as a percentage of DeVry’s total revenue are relatively small.

In connection with the turmoil in the credit markets and economic downturn over the past three years, some lenders changed or exited certain private loan programs. Also, certain lenders have tightened underwriting criteria for private loans. To date, these actions have not had a material impact on DeVry’s students’ ability to access funds for their educational needs and thus its enrollments. DeVry monitors the student lending situation very closely and continues to pursue all available financing options for its students, including DeVry’s institutional loan programs.

The following table summarizes DeVry’s cash receipts from tuition and related fee payments by fund source as a percentage of total revenue for the fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively. Final data for fiscal year 2012 are not yet available.

Table of Contents

The pattern of cash receipts during the year is seasonal. DeVry’s accounts receivable peak immediately after tuition bills are issued at the beginning of each academic period. Historically, accounts receivable reach their lowest level at the end of each academic term, dropping to their lowest point during the year at the end of June.

At September 30, 2012, total accounts receivable, net of related reserves, were $190.7 million, compared to $151.4 million at September 30, 2011. The increase in net accounts receivable was attributable to the acquisitions of FBV and FAVIP and from a change in the timing of the receipt of financial aid due to the move to a new student centric academic calendar at DeVry University and Chamberlain where students may start an academic term at any of six times during the year.

Financial Aid

Like other higher education institutions, DeVry is highly dependent upon the timely receipt of federal financial aid funds. All financial aid and assistance programs are subject to political and governmental budgetary considerations. In the United States, the Higher Education Act (“HEA”) guides the federal government’s support of postsecondary education. If there are changes to financial aid programs that restrict student eligibility or reduce funding levels, DeVry’s financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a discussion of student financial aid related risks.

In addition, government-funded financial assistance programs are governed by extensive and complex regulations in both the United States and Canada. Like any other educational institution, DeVry’s administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by various regulatory agencies and is subject to audit or investigation by other governmental authorities. Any violation could be the basis for penalties or other disciplinary action, including initiation of a suspension, limitation or termination proceeding. Previous Department of Education and state regulatory agency program reviews have not resulted in material findings or adjustments against DeVry.

A U.S. Department of Education regulation known as the “90/10 Rule” affects only proprietary postsecondary institutions, such as DeVry University, Ross University School of Medicine, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, American University of the Caribbean, Chamberlain, Carrington College and Carrington College California. Under this regulation, an institution that derives more than 90% of its revenues from Title IV student financial assistance programs in any two consecutive years may not participate in these programs in the year following that period.

The following table details the percentage of revenue from federal financial assistance programs for each of DeVry’s Title IV eligible institutions for fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively. Final data for fiscal year 2012 is not yet available.

Under the terms of DeVry’s participation in financial aid programs, certain cash received from state governments and the U.S. Department of Education is maintained in restricted bank accounts. DeVry receives these funds either after the financial aid authorization and disbursement process for the benefit of the student is completed, or just prior to that authorization. Once the authorization and disbursement process for a particular student is completed, the funds may be transferred to unrestricted accounts and become available for DeVry to use in current operations. This process generally occurs during the academic term for which such funds have been authorized. At September 30, 2012, cash in the amount of $4.5 million was held in restricted bank accounts, compared to $5.7 million at September 30, 2011.

Table of Contents

As described in more detail in “Item 1. Business” in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, institutions must meet a financial responsibility test if their students participate in federal financial assistance programs. The Department of Education relies on a test that considers Equity, Primary Reserve, and Net Income ratios, with a minimum required score of 1.5. Management has calculated DeVry’s composite score at June 30, 2012, and determined that it exceeds 1.5. Management believes DeVry will continue to demonstrate the required level of financial stability.

Cash from Operations

Cash generated from operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $164.1 million, compared to $186.6 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease in cash flow from operations was due in part to a $25.5 million decline in net income compared to the year-ago quarter. In addition, cash flow from operations decreased $36 million compared to the prior year as a result of an increase in accounts receivable, net of related reserves, which resulted from a timing difference in the receipt of federal financial aid funds along with receivables related to the acquisitions of FBV and FAVIP and increase in revenues at DeVry Brasil. The change in net deferred income tax liabilities resulted in a $3.5 million reduction in operating cash flows compared to the prior year. Also, changes in deferred tuition revenue and advanced tuition payments of $6.2 million as compared to the prior year had a negative effect on comparative cash flows from operations. These decreases in operating cash flows were partially offset by $43.1 million from a greater source of cash compared to the prior year for changes in levels of prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Variations in the levels of accrued and prepaid expenses and accounts payable from period to period are caused, in part, by the timing of the period-end relative to DeVry’s payroll and bill payment cycles. Also, an increase in non-cash expenses for depreciation and stock-based compensation resulted in a $3.8 million greater source of cash compared to the prior year. Finally, the change in restricted cash and other assets and liabilities had a $5.3 million positive effect on comparative operating cash flows.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 were $26.2 million compared to $33.8 million in the year-ago period. Management anticipates full year fiscal 2013 capital spending to be in the range of $150 million.

On September 3, 2012, Fanor-Faculdades Nordeste S/A (DeVry Brasil), a subsidiary of DeVry Inc. acquired the stock of Faculdade do Vale do Ipojuca (“FAVIP”). Under the terms of the agreement, DeVry Brasil paid approximately $30.3 million in cash in exchange for the stock of FAVIP. In addition, DeVry Brasil will be required to make an additional payment of approximately $3.9 million over the next 12 months should FAVIP receive university center status.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, DeVry repurchased a total of 1,130,874 shares of its stock, on the open market, for approximately $25.7 million under its seventh share repurchase program. As of September 30, 2012, the total remaining authorization under this repurchase program was $7.9 million. On August 29, 2012, the Board authorized an eighth share repurchase program, which will allow DeVry to repurchase up to $100 million of its common stock through December 31, 2014. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will be determined based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings under its revolving credit agreement and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

DeVry’s Board of Directors declared a dividend on May 14, 2012 of $0.15 per share to common stockholders of record as of June 21, 2012. The total dividend of $9.8 million was paid on July 12, 2012.

DeVry’s consolidated cash balances of $247.6 million at September 30, 2012, included approximately $123.8 million of cash attributable to DeVry’s international operations. It is DeVry’s intention to indefinitely reinvest this cash and subsequent earnings and cash flow to improve and expand facilities and operations of its international schools and pursue future business opportunities outside the United States. Therefore, cash held by international operations will not be available for domestic general corporate purposes. Management does not believe that this policy will adversely affect DeVry’s overall liquidity.

Historically, DeVry has produced positive domestic cash flows from operating activities sufficient to fund the delivery of its domestic educational programs and services as well as to fund capital investment and other activities including share repurchases and dividend payments. In addition, DeVry maintains a $400 million revolving line of credit which can be expanded to $550 million at the option of DeVry. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, cash flows from domestic operating activities were approximately $106 million which when added to DeVry’s beginning of the year domestic cash balances, was sufficient to fund $19.9 million of domestic capital investment, pay dividends of $9.8 million and fund $25.7 million of common stock repurchases, in addition to funding other investment and financing activities.

Table of Contents

Management believes that current balances of unrestricted cash, cash generated from operations and the revolving loan facility will be sufficient to fund both DeVry’s current domestic and international operations and growth plans, and current share repurchase program for the foreseeable future unless future significant investment opportunities should arise.

Revolving Credit Agreement

DeVry maintains a revolving credit facility which expires on May 5, 2016. This facility provides aggregate commitments including borrowings and letters of credit of up to $400 million and, at the request of DeVry, can be increased to $550 million. Borrowings under this agreement will bear interest at the prime rate or at a LIBOR rate, at the option of DeVry, plus a pre-established margin. Outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit agreement are charged a fee for the undrawn face amount of the letter of credit, payable quarterly. The agreement also requires payment of a commitment fee for the undrawn portion of the credit facility. The interest rate margin, letter of credit fees and commitment fees are adjustable quarterly, based upon DeVry’s achievement of certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement. DeVry’s letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility were approximately $9.3 million as of September 30, 2012.

The revolving credit agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreements. These financial ratios include a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated leverage ratio and a composite Equity, Primary Reserve and Net Income Department of Education Financial Responsibility Ratio (“DOE Ratio”). Failure to maintain any of these ratios or to comply with other covenants contained in the agreement will constitute an event of default and could result in termination of the agreements and require payment of all outstanding borrowings. DeVry was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2012.

Other Contractual Arrangements

DeVry’s long-term contractual obligations consist of its $400 million revolving line of credit (discussed above), operating leases on facilities and equipment, and agreements for various services.

DeVry is not a party to any off-balance sheet financing or contingent payment arrangements, nor are there any unconsolidated subsidiaries. DeVry has not extended any loans to any officer, director or other affiliated person. DeVry has not entered into any synthetic leases, and there are no residual purchase or value commitments related to any facility lease. DeVry did not enter into any significant derivatives, swaps, futures contracts, calls, hedges or non-exchange traded contracts during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. DeVry had no open derivative positions at September 30, 2012.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2012, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which amends the application of existing guidance on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amended guidance will allow, but not require, an initial assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount for purposes of determining whether it is necessary to perform further asset impairment testing. This guidance will be effective for our interim and annual impairment tests performed for reporting periods beginning July 1, 2013. Application of this guidance will not have a significant effect on DeVry’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which amends the application of existing guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The amended guidance will allow, but not require, an initial assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount for purposes of determining whether it is necessary to perform further goodwill impairment testing. This guidance was effective for our interim and annual impairment tests performed for reporting periods beginning July 1, 2012, and did not have a significant effect on DeVry’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

DeVry is not dependent upon the price levels, nor affected by fluctuations in pricing, of any particular commodity or group of commodities. However, more than 50% of DeVry’s costs are in the form of employee wages and benefits. Changes in employment market conditions or escalations in employee benefit costs could cause DeVry to experience cost increases at levels beyond what it has historically experienced.

The financial position and results of operations of Ross University’s Caribbean operations as well as those of AUC are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Substantially all Ross University and AUC financial transactions are denominated in the U.S. dollar.

The financial position and results of operations of DeVry’s Canadian educational programs are measured using the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. The Canadian operations have not entered into any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services. DeVry does not have any foreign exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments designed to mitigate changes in the value of the Canadian dollar. Because Canada-based assets and liabilities constitute less than 1.0% of DeVry’s overall assets and liabilities, changes in the value of Canada’s currency at rates experienced during the past several years are unlikely to have a material effect on DeVry’s results of operations or financial position. Based upon the current value of the net assets in the Canadian operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would result in a translation adjustment of less than $100,000.

The financial position and results of operations of DeVry’s investment in DeVry Brasil are measured using the Brazilian Real as the functional currency. DeVry Brasil has not entered into any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services, other than the lease agreements on teaching facilities and contingencies relating to prior acquisitions. Currently, DeVry does not have any foreign exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments designed to mitigate changes in the value of the Brazilian Real. Since Brazilian-based assets constitute approximately 7.0% of DeVry’s overall assets, and its Brazilian liabilities constitute approximately 6.0% of overall liabilities, and because there are very few transactions between DeVry Brasil and DeVry’s U.S. based subsidiaries, changes in the value of Brazil’s currency at rates experienced during the past several years are unlikely to have a material effect on DeVry’s results of operations; however, the volatility of the Brazilian Real over the past 12 months resulted in a $23 million charge to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in fiscal 2012 and a gain of $0.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Based upon the current value of the net assets in DeVry Brasil’s operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar would result in a translation adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of approximately $2.2 million.

The interest rate on DeVry’s revolving credit facility is based upon the prime rate or LIBOR interest rates for periods typically ranging from one to three months. Based upon borrowings of $50 million, a 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would result in approximately $0.5 million of additional annual interest expense. At September 30, 2012, DeVry had no outstanding borrowings under this facility. However, future investment opportunities and cash flow generated from operations may affect the level of outstanding borrowings and the effect of a change in interest rates.

DeVry’s customers are principally individual students enrolled in its various educational programs. Accordingly, concentration of accounts receivable credit risk is small relative to total revenues or accounts receivable.

DeVry’s cash is held in accounts at various large, financially secure depository institutions. Although the amount on deposit at a given institution typically will exceed amounts subject to guarantee, DeVry has not experienced any deposit losses to date, nor does management expect to incur such losses in the future.

ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer Certificates

The required compliance certificates signed by the DeVry’s CEO and CFO are included as Exhibits 31 and 32 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to help ensure that all the information required to be disclosed in DeVry’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the applicable rules and forms.

DeVry’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that DeVry’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that DeVry files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to DeVry’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, DeVry’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – Other Information

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

DeVry is subject to occasional lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews and investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other matters arising in the normal conduct of its business. The following is a description of pending litigation that may be considered other than ordinary and routine litigation that is incidental to the business.

The Boca Raton Firefighters’ and Police Pension Fund filed an initial complaint (the “Shareholder Case”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on November 1, 2010 (Case No. 1:10-cv-07031). The initial complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased DeVry common stock between October 25, 2007, and August 13, 2010. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint (the “First Amended Complaint”) on March 7, 2011 alleging the same categories of claims in the initial complaint. The plaintiffs claimed in the First Amended Complaint that DeVry, Daniel Hamburger and Richard M. Gunst violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by failing to disclose abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending practices, thereby increasing DeVry’s student enrollment and revenues and artificially inflating DeVry’s stock price during the class period. On March 27, 2012, Judge John F. Grady dismissed the First Amended Complaint without prejudice, granting Plaintiffs leave to file a second amended complaint by May 4, 2012.

On May 4, 2012, the Plaintiffs again amended their allegations in the Shareholder Case (the “Second Amended Complaint”). The Second Amended Complaint alleges a longer putative class period of October 27, 2007, to August 11, 2011, but narrows the scope of the alleged fraud significantly as compared to the previous two complaints. Plaintiffs now focus exclusively on DeVry’s practices for compensating student Admissions Advisors, alleging DeVry misled the market by failing to disclose that its compensation practices violated federal law and by making affirmative misrepresentations that DeVry complied with compensation regulations. On July 10, 2012, DeVry filed a Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, which is awaiting Judge Grady’s consideration.

Three derivative cases similar to the Shareholder Case also have been filed (“Derivative Actions”). Two of the Derivative Actions were filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division: DeVry shareholder Timothy Hald filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry on January 3, 2011 (Hald v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0087) and Matthew Green (also a DeVry shareholder) filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry on January 7, 2011 (Green v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0770). The Hald and Green cases (the “Consolidated Cases”) were consolidated by court order dated February 9, 2011. Maria Dotro, another DeVry shareholder, filed a third derivative complaint on DeVry’s behalf in the Delaware Court of Chancery on March 11, 2011 (Dotro v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 6263). Both the Consolidated cases and the Dotro case have been stayed by agreement of the parties until certain matters are resolved or clarified with respect to the disposition of the Shareholder Case.

The Derivative Actions allege that Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst, David J. Pauldine, Sharon Thomas Parrott, Ronald L. Taylor, Lisa W. Pickrum, Darren R. Huston, David S. Brown, William T. Keevan, Fernando Ruiz, Harold T. Shapiro, Lyle Logan, Connie R. Curran, and Julia McGee breached their fiduciary duties to DeVry by failing to disclose the same allegedly abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending practices alleged in the Shareholder Case. The Derivative Actions also allege that DeVry’s officers and directors unjustly enriched themselves and wasted DeVry’s assets by (i) causing DeVry to incur substantial costs in defending the Shareholder Case; (ii) causing DeVry to pay compensation and benefits to individuals who breached their fiduciary duties; (iii) causing potential losses from “certain of DeVry’s programs no longer being eligible for federal financial aid;” and (iv) damaging DeVry’s corporate image and goodwill. DeVry and its executives and directors believe the allegations contained in the Derivative Actions are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.

Although DeVry believes that the Shareholder Case and the Derivative Actions are without merit, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation is difficult to predict. At this time, DeVry does not expect that the outcome of any such matter will have a material effect on its cash flows, results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, and the update to the risk factor described below, the factors discussed in Part I “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, which could materially affect DeVry’s business, financial condition or future results, should be carefully considered. Such risks are not the only risks facing DeVry. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to DeVry or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.

DeVry’s goodwill and intangible assets could potentially be impaired if our business results and financial condition were materially and adversely impacted by the risks and uncertainties

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2012, intangible assets from business combinations totaled $297.1 million, and goodwill totaled $564.8 million. Together, these assets equaled approximately 43% of total assets as of such date. If DeVry’s business results and financial condition were materially and adversely impacted, then such goodwill and intangible assets could be impaired, requiring possible write-off of up to $297.1 million of intangible assets and up to $564.8 million of goodwill.
