“We are pleased to report another quarter of consistent financial and operational performance,” said Anthony Humpage, CEO of Legacy Education Alliance. “Our brand and channel diversification, as well as geographic market expansion, continues to gain traction as indicated by our overall non-U.S. revenue increase of 28%. Also, our cash sales grew over 18% for the second quarter,” Mr. Humpage added. “We anticipate showing further increases in cash sales throughout 2017, particularly as new brands gain greater traction in our more established markets, and as we continue to expand internationally and hone our selling and marketing strategy in new markets.”

SECOND QUARTER 2017 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 2016 RESULTS

Revenue was $24.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Revenue increased $1.4 million or 6.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue was due to increases in recognition of revenue from expired contracts of $1.7 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in recognition of revenue from attendance (i.e. fulfillment) of $0.3 million.

Cash sales were $26.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $4.1 million or 18.1%. The increase was driven primarily by a $3.0 million increase in our U.S. segment and a $1.8 million increase in our Other Foreign Markets segment, which was partially offset by a $0.3 million and a $0.4 million decline in our Canada and U.K. segments.

Total operating costs and expenses were $24.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $22.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $1.3 million or 5.7%, which is consistent with the increase in revenue. The increase was primarily due to a $0.6 million increase in royalty expense, a $0.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses, of which $0.3 million was due to our new Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") system upgrade, and a $0.4 million increase in direct course expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in advertising and sales expenses.

Net income was $1.0 million or $0.04 per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 consistent with net income of $1.0 million or $0.05 per basic and $0.04 per diluted common share for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

YTD 2017 VERSUS YTD 2016 RESULTS

Revenue was $47.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Revenue increased $1.5 million or 3.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in revenue was due to increased attendance (i.e. fulfillment) of $1.3 million and increases in recognition of revenue from expired contracts of $0.6 million, which was partially offset by the decline in recognition of revenue of $0.4 million due to the change in our revenue recognition policy with regards to DVD fulfillment.

Cash sales were $51.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $44.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $7.2 million or 16.4%. The increase was driven primarily by a $4.6 million increase in our Other Foreign Markets segment, a $1.9 million increase in our U.S. segment and a $1.4 million increase in our U.K. segment, which was partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in our Canada segment.

Total operating costs and expenses were $46.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $44.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $2.1 million or 4.7%. The increase was primarily due to a $1.7 million increase in direct course expenses, a $0.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses, of which $0.6 million was due to our new ERP system upgrade, and a $0.4 million increase in royalty expense, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in advertising and sales expenses.

Net income was $1.2 million or $0.05 per basic and diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to a net income of $1.6 million or $0.08 per basic and $0.07 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease in net income of $0.4 million or $0.03 per basic and $0.02 per diluted common share. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by $0.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses related to the implementation of our new ERP system.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016, representing a period-over-period increase of $3.8 million. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in current liabilities for deferred revenue in 2017 as a result of increased cash sales.

Our consolidated capital structure as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was 100.0% equity.
