Legacy Education Inc. reported substantial financial growth for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, with revenues reaching approximately $46 million, a 29.7% increase from the previous year. This growth was attributed to higher student enrollment and increased pricing for certain programs. Net income also rose significantly to around $5.1 million, up from $2.7 million in 2023, reflecting improved operational efficiency as operating expenses decreased to 86.5% of revenue from 89.8%. The company’s liquidity remains stable, with cash and cash equivalents increasing to $10.4 million. However, it faces regulatory challenges, particularly with the U.S. Department of Education (ED) regarding compliance with Title IV funding requirements and new regulations effective July 2024, which could impact operational costs and program eligibility. Key risks include maintaining financial responsibility standards, passing cohort default rate thresholds, and adapting to evolving regulations affecting student financial aid. The company’s strategic focus on expanding program offerings and improving retention rates is critical for sustaining growth amid these challenges.
