Campus Development Activity Entered into a lease for a new campus in Rowlett, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas, expected to open early in 2027. Completed the relocation of Levittown, Pennsylvania campus.Recently opened new Houston, Texas campus. “As the demand for high-value career-focused training continues to reach new heights across America, Lincoln’s proven expertise, innovative training platforms, and campus development strategies are creating sustained levels of growth,” said Scott Shaw, President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the third quarter, our student start growth exceeded our expectations, and we have now experienced twelve consecutive quarters of student start growth. At the same time, total student population, total revenue, and consolidated adjusted EBITDA all grew at double-digit rates over prior year periods. As a result, we are, once again, raising our outlook for the full year. “During the third quarter, we completed the relocations and program expansions at our Nashville, Tennessee and Levittown, Philadelphia campuses and opened our new campus in Houston, Texas. Last week, we announced our decision to open a second campus serving the Dallas metro area in Rowlett, a northern suburb. The new campus will complement our highly successful Grand Prairie, Texas campus and is expected to open in the first quarter of 2027. We also continue to build-out our new campus in Hicksville, New York and evaluate the opportunities for expansion into additional U.S. markets that we consider under-served. "While the establishment of new campuses is a major part of our growth strategy, the successful implementation of our Lincoln 10.0 hybrid teaching model continues to deliver increased instructional leverage, and benefits to students. In addition, recent innovations in our approach to the high school graduate market are generating greater interest among students, their parents and school districts. “With our updated guidance today, we now believe Lincoln will end the year with more than a half a billion dollars in revenue, and we are raising our 2027 objectives to more than $600 million in revenue and $90 million in adjusted EBITDA before any benefit from adjusting for pre-opening costs and losses from our new campuses and program expansions. We look forward to presenting a full long-term outlook during an Investor Day we will host at our new Nashville campus on March 19, 2026.” 2025 THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS (Quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2024) Revenue increased by $27.0 million, or 23.6% to $141.4 million, primarily due to a 17.2% increase in average student population, reflecting 12.0% start growth during the first nine months of 2025. Additional contributing factors included tuition increases and the timing of books and tools revenue.Educational services and facilities expense increased by $9.2 million, or 19.2% to $57.3 million. The primary driver of the increase was higher costs associated with supporting a larger student population. This increase includes a $1.2 million reduction related to the Transitional segment, which incurred expenses only in the prior year. On a comparable basis, educational services and facilities expense increased by $10.4 million. As a percentage of revenue, educational services and facilities expense declined to 40.5% from 42.0% in the prior year comparable period, demonstrating improved operating efficiency as our campus operations scale.Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $14.5 million, or 22.8% to $77.8 million. This includes a $1.1 million reduction related to the Transitional segment, which had expenses only in the prior year. The increase over the prior year was primarily driven by higher administrative expense, due to costs associated with the expanding student population; compensation expenses, including performance-based incentives tied to improved financial performance and higher sales and marketing expenses resulting from planned investments and the timing of marketing activities. 2025 THIRD QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS Campus Operations SegmentRevenue increased by $28.6 million, or 25.4% to $141.4 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $11.7 million, or 57.0% to $32.2 million, from $20.5 million in the prior year comparable period. Transitional SegmentDuring 2024, the Company’s Summerlin, Las Vegas campus was classified in the Transitional segment. The sale of the campus was consummated on January 1, 2025. In the prior year comparable period, the Summerlin campus had revenue of $1.7 million and operating expenses of $2.3 million. As of September 30, 2025, no campuses were classified in the Transitional segment. Corporate and OtherThis category includes unallocated expenses incurred on behalf of the entire Company. Corporate and other expenses were $16.8 million, compared to $8.9 million in the prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily driven by higher salaries and benefits due to workforce expansion to support a larger student population and execute our growth initiatives.

Additionally, the Company’s management regularly uses our non-GAAP financial measures to make operating decisions, for planning and forecasting purposes. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and total liquidity are measures not recognized in financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. We define EBITDA as income (loss) before net interest expense (interest income), provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization.We define adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus stock-based compensation expense and adjustments for items not considered part of the Company’s normal recurring operations.We define adjusted net income as net income plus adjustments for items not considered part of the Company’s normal recurring operations.We define total liquidity as the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under our credit facility. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and total liquidity are presented because we believe they are useful indicators of the Company’s performance and ability to make strategic investments and meet capital expenditures and debt service requirements. However, they are not intended to represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and should not be used as an alternative to net income (loss) as indicators of operating performance or cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and total liquidity are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
