Tailwinds

  • Expected accretive effects of announced initiatives and potential additional opportunities for growth.
  • Successful closing of the MIAT acquisition.
  • Successfully integration of MIAT with UTI.
  • Launch of two new campuses within the planned timeframe.
  • New campuses will allow for higher margins.

Headwinds

  • Impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Changes to federal and state educational funding.
  • Changes to regulations or agency interpretation of such regulations affecting the for-profit education industry.
  • Possible failure or inability to obtain regulatory consents and certifications for new or modified campuses or instruction.
