Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
 
We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Adtalem’s ongoing operations as seen through the eyes of management and are useful for period-over-period comparisons. We use these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally in our assessment of performance and budgeting process. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following are non-GAAP financial measures used in the subsequent GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables:
 
Adjusted net income (most comparable GAAP measure: net income) – Measure of Adtalem’s net income adjusted for deferred revenue adjustment, CEO transition costs, restructuring expense, business acquisition and integration expense, intangible amortization expense, gain on sale of assets, pre-acquisition interest expense, write-off of debt discount and issuance costs, gain on extinguishment of debt, investment impairment, net tax benefit related to a valuation allowance release, and net loss (income) from discontinued operations.
 
Adjusted earnings per share (most comparable GAAP measure: earnings per share) – Measure of Adtalem’s diluted earnings per share adjusted for deferred revenue adjustment, CEO transition costs, restructuring expense, business acquisition and integration expense, intangible amortization expense, gain on sale of assets, pre-acquisition interest expense, write-off of debt discount and issuance costs, gain on extinguishment of debt, investment impairment, net tax benefit related to a valuation allowance release, and net loss (income) from discontinued operations.
 
Adjusted operating income (most comparable GAAP measure: operating income) – Measure of Adtalem’s operating income adjusted for deferred revenue adjustment, CEO transition costs, restructuring expense, business acquisition and integration expense, intangible amortization expense, and gain on sale of assets. This measure is applied on a consolidated and segment basis, depending on the context of the discussion.
 
Adjusted EBITDA (most comparable GAAP measure: net income) – Measure of Adtalem’s net income adjusted for net loss (income) from discontinued operations, interest expense, other (income) expense, net, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, deferred revenue adjustment, CEO transition costs, restructuring expense, business acquisition and integration expense, and gain on sale of assets. This measure is applied on a consolidated and segment basis, depending on the context of the discussion. Income taxes, interest expense, and other (income) expense, net is not recorded at the reportable segments, and therefore, the segment adjusted EBITDA reconciliations begin with operating income (loss).
 
Free cash flow (most comparable GAAP measure: net cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations) – Defined as net cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations less capital expenditures.
 
Net debt – Defined as long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.

Net leverage – Defined as net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA.
 
A description of special items in our non-GAAP financial measures described above are as follows:

Deferred revenue adjustment related to a revenue purchase accounting adjustment to record Walden’s deferred revenue at fair value.
CEO transition costs related to acceleration of stock-based compensation expense.
Restructuring expense primarily related to plans to achieve synergies with the Walden acquisition and real estate consolidations at Walden, Medical and Veterinary, and Adtalem’s home office. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our restructuring expense.
Business acquisition and integration expense include expenses related to the Walden acquisition and certain costs related to growth transformation initiatives. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our business acquisition and integration expense.
Intangible amortization expense on acquired intangible assets.
Gain on sale of Adtalem’s Chicago, Illinois, campus facility.
Pre-acquisition interest expense related to financing arrangements in connection with the Walden acquisition, write-off of debt discount and issuance costs and gain on extinguishment of debt related to prepayments of debt, and impairment of an equity investment.
Net tax benefit related to a valuation allowance release.
Net loss (income) from discontinued operations includes the operations of ACAMS, Becker, OCL, including the after-tax gain on the sale of these businesses, and EduPristine operations, in addition to costs related to DeVry University.

(1) Represents the estimated income tax impact of non-GAAP continuing operations adjustments that is recognized in our GAAP financial statements.
(2) The outlook provided above does not reflect the potential impact of any business or asset acquisitions or dispositions that may occur during the remainder of fiscal year 2023. The expected effects on diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of (1) the estimated intangible amortization and (2) the estimated incremental integration costs are estimates related to the Walden University acquisition and certain costs related to growth transformation initiatives. The effects on diluted EPS of restructuring expense, integration costs, gain on sale of assets, write-off of debt discount and issuance costs, gain on extinguishment of debt, investment impairment, net tax benefit related to a valuation allowance release, and loss from discontinued operations includes the results realized through March 31, 2023. We are not able to further estimate certain special items for the full fiscal year. Additional charges to these special items, or additional special items not currently identified, which may occur during the remainder of fiscal year 2023, would impact the GAAP expected EPS provided above.
