Financials Breakdown Chart

Key Financial Trends

American Public Education (APEI) has shown a recent shift toward profitability in the latest quarter, supported by solid gross margins and a healthy balance sheet. However, cash flow from operations in the most recent quarter was negative due to working capital movements, and restricted cash levels remain a notable liquidity consideration. Below are the key takeaways from the last four years of quarterly statements.

  • Net income turned positive in Q4 2025: net income from continuing operations was $12.6 million, with basic EPS $0.69 and diluted EPS $0.67, marking a return to profitability in the latest quarter.
  • Strong gross margins in Q4 2025: Total gross profit of $89.38 million on $158.33 million in revenue (gross margin ≈ 56%), supporting healthier operating leverage.
  • Improving operating cash flow in 2025 (mid-year): operating cash flow improved to $21.7 million in Q3 2025 and $14.8 million in Q2 2025, indicating better cash generation before the latest quarter.
  • Solid near-term liquidity metrics on the balance sheet: as of Q3 2025, total current assets were about $259.1 million vs. total current liabilities of $91.4 million (roughly 2.8x current ratio).
  • Manageable leverage with a strong equity base: total equity around $279.3 million against total liabilities of $245.96 million, with long-term debt approximately $94.4 million (as of mid-2025), providing a reasonable buffer.
  • Earnings per share remain constructive: Q4 2025 basic EPS of $0.69 and diluted EPS of $0.67 reflect a meaningful improvement versus prior years’ reported losses.
  • Financing activity provides liquidity support in the latest quarter: Net cash from continuing financing activities was a positive $0.56 million in Q4 2025, offering some liquidity flexibility.
  • Revenue trend modestly down YoY: quarterly revenue declined from about $164.1 million in Q4 2024 to $158.3 million in Q4 2025, a modest topline reduction to monitor.
  • Restricted cash levels are substantial: high restricted cash balances (e.g., around $176–$193 million in recent quarters) reduce liquid cash available for operations, a factor to watch for liquidity risk.
  • Q4 2025 operating cash flow deteriorated quarter over quarter: net cash from continuing operating activities was negative at $(11.6) million, contributing to a net cash decrease of $(16.6) million for the quarter.
