Watch Items from the Filing
Two qui tam False Claims Act lawsuits against CTU (Fiorisce and Peters) allege Title IV compliance and incentive compensation violations; DOJ declined to intervene in both and the company cannot estimate a potential loss.
CTU accounted for 54.2% of total revenue and 69% of enrollments in the quarter, concentrating results in a single segment amid its ongoing litigation exposure.
New federal loan limit rules eliminating Grad PLUS loans took effect July 1, 2026; litigation over the definition of 'professional programs' could force some USAHS programs back to lower graduate loan limits.
CTU operating income fell 5.1% YoY to $44.5M primarily due to increased legal fees tied to previously disclosed litigation.
Board raised the quarterly dividend 13.3% to $0.17/share and had $85.0M remaining under its $100.0M stock repurchase program as of June 30, 2026.
