Student enrollments are underway, with first classes expected to start in early Q4.Levittown, PA campus relocation completed and existing automotive students already transferred to the new location in August. HVAC, electrical and welding programs to start in September. “Our operating and financial momentum continued to build throughout the second quarter as we generated nearly 22 percent student start growth and grew revenues by more than 15 percent from campus operations, as well as increased consolidated adjusted EBITDA by 68%. As a result of our performance continuing to exceed expectations during the first half of 2025, and current operating trends, we are raising our full-year guidance,” said Scott Shaw, President and CEO. “Our growth is driven by continued rising demand for high-value career-focused training, the effective and efficient execution of our growth strategy, successful implementation of our Lincoln 10.0 hybrid teaching model, which is delivering increased instructional leverage, and ongoing improvements in our marketing efficiency. “Campus development remains a key growth driver with our new East Point campus and our relocated Nashville campus outperforming our expectations. In August, we completed the transfer of our Philadelphia automotive campus to its new location in Levittown where we will add new programs in HVAC, welding and electrical during the third quarter. Our Houston campus has begun enrolling students for its fourth quarter opening. Looking further ahead, the Hicksville, New York campus remains on track to open during the fourth quarter of 2026, and we hope to announce another new campus development shortly. “We believe we are exceptionally well-positioned to meet unmet market needs in up to a dozen additional markets and are actively exploring these opportunities for additional new campuses. The demand for high-value programs that train students for rewarding, long-lasting careers continues to grow, as does the need by America’s corporations to fill their skills gap. Our increased outlook for 2025, the continued growth in student demand for our programs and our success with our campus development efforts positions Lincoln to exceed the longer-term 2027 targets of approximately $550 million in revenue and $90 million in adjusted EBITDA we set out last year.” 2025 SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS (Quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to June 30, 2024) Revenue increased by $13.6 million, or 13.2% to $116.5 million, primarily due to a 16.0% increase in average student population, from the higher beginning of the year population and our strong start growth in both the first and second quarters of 2025.Educational services and facilities expense increased by $1.2 million, or 2.7% to $46.8 million. This increase includes a $1.0 million reduction related to the Transitional segment, which incurred expenses in the prior year but not in the current period. On a comparable basis, educational services and facilities expense increased by $2.2 million. As a percentage of revenue, educational services and facilities expense declined to 40.2% from 44.3% in the prior year, demonstrating improved operating efficiency at our campuses as we scale operations.Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $9.2 million, or 15.9% to $67.1 million. This includes a $1.1 million reduction related to the Transitional segment, which had expenses in the prior year but none in the current period. The increase over the prior year was primarily driven by $7.6 million or 36.5% higher administrative expense, due to higher medical claims expense, costs associated with our expanding student population and compensation expense including performance-based incentive compensation in line with improved financial performance. Additionally, although marketing expense increased slightly, our cost per student start declined 14.0% compared to the prior year period, reflecting a greater return on investment. 2025 SECOND QUARTER SEGMENT RESULTS Campus Operations SegmentRevenue increased by $15.2 million, or 15.1% to $116.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $9.1 million, or 56.4% to $25.4 million, from $16.3 million in the prior year. 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 $2.2 million. As of June 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 $16.4 million, compared to $10.7 million in the prior year. 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, medical claims increased, and performance-based incentive compensation increased in line with improved financial performance.

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.
