DEVRY INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1: INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DeVry Inc. (“DeVry”) and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. These financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of DeVry. The June 30, 2010 data that is presented is derived from audited financial statements.
     The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Marketable Securities and Investments
     DeVry owns investments in marketable securities that have been designated as “available for sale” in accordance with authoritative guidance. Available for sale securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
       Marketable securities and investments consist of investments in mutual funds. The following is a summary of our available-for-sale marketable securities at September 30, 2010 (dollars in thousands):
                                 
            Gross Unrealized        
    Cost     (Loss)     Gain     Fair Value  
Marketable Securities:
                               
Bond Mutual Fund
  $ 857     $     $ 77     $ 934  
Stock Mutual Funds
    1,984       (588 )           1,396  
 
                       
Total Marketable Securities
  $ 2,841     $ (588 )   $ 77     $ 2,330  
 
                       
     Investments are classified as short-term if they are readily convertible to cash or have other characteristics of short-term investments such as highly liquid markets or maturities within one year. All mutual fund investments are recorded at fair market value based upon quoted market prices. At September 30, 2010, all of the Bond and Stock mutual fund investments are held in a rabbi trust for the purpose of paying benefits under DeVry’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan.
     As of September 30, 2010, all unrealized losses in the above table have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than one year. When evaluating its investments for possible impairment, DeVry reviews factors such as length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and DeVry’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time that may be sufficient for anticipated recovery in fair value. The decline in value of the above investments is considered temporary in nature and, accordingly, DeVry does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2010.
     As of June 30, 2010, DeVry held auction-rate debt securities in the aggregate principal amount of $13.5 million. These outstanding securities were purchased by DeVry’s broker, UBS, in early July 2010.

Table of Contents

     Realized gains and losses are computed on the basis of specific identification and are included in Interest and Other income/(expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Income. DeVry has not recorded any realized gains or realized losses for fiscal 2011. See Note 4 for further disclosures on the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
Prepaid Clinical Fees
     Clinical rotation costs for Ross University medical students are included in Cost of Educational Services. Over the past several years, Ross University has entered into long-term contracts with a hospital group to secure clinical rotations for its students at fixed rates in exchange for prepayment of the rotation fees. Under the contracts, the established rate-per-clinical rotation was being deducted from the prepaid balance and charged to expense as the medical students utilized the clinical clerkships. The hospital group closed two of its hospitals due to financial difficulties in February 2009. To date, the hospital group has provided Ross with a limited number of additional clinical clerkships at its remaining hospital, but not nearly enough to offset the void created by the closure of its other two hospitals. During April 2009, Ross filed a lawsuit against the hospital group to enforce the contract. The suit seeks specific performance of the hospital group’s obligations to provide Ross with the prepaid clinical clerkships. As of September 30, 2010, the outstanding balance of prepaid clinical rotations with this hospital group was approximately $5.8 million. Though DeVry believes that Ross has a contractual right to utilize other clinical rotations within the hospital group’s system, given the business uncertainty of this situation, a reserve of $1.6 million has been provided against the prepaid balance.
Internal-Use Software Development Costs
     DeVry capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs that are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the software, not to exceed five years. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of equipment, materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the internal-use software development project. Capitalization of such costs ceases at the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. Capitalized internal-use software development costs for projects not yet complete are included as construction in progress in the Land, Buildings and Equipment section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs capitalized during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, were approximately $4.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, primarily related to Project DELTA (a new student information system for DeVry University and Chamberlain College of Nursing). As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, the net balance of capitalized software development costs was $42.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively.
Perkins Program Fund
     DeVry University is required, under federal aid program regulations, to make contributions to the Perkins Student Loan Fund, most recently at a rate equal to 33% of new contributions by the federal government. No new federal contributions have been received in fiscal 2011 or fiscal 2010. DeVry carries its investment in such contributions at original values, net of allowances for expected losses on loan collections, of $2.6 million at September 30, 2010 and 2009. The allowance for future loan losses is based upon an analysis of actual loan losses experienced since the inception of the program. As previous borrowers repay their Perkins loans, their payments are used to fund new loans, thus creating a revolving loan fund. The federal contributions to this revolving loan program do not belong to DeVry and are not recorded on its financial statements. Under current law, upon termination of the program by the federal government or withdrawal from future program participation by DeVry University, subsequent student loan repayments would be divided between the federal government and DeVry University to satisfy their respective cumulative contributions to the fund.
Earnings per Common Share
     Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to DeVry Inc. by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus unvested participating restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to DeVry Inc. by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive shares are computed using the Treasury Stock Method and reflect the additional shares that would be outstanding if dilutive stock options were exercised during the period. Excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share were options to purchase 979,000 and 616,000 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 , respectively. These outstanding options were excluded because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares or the assumed proceeds upon exercise under the Treasury Stock Method resulted in the repurchase of more shares than would be issued; thus, their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Treasury Stock
     DeVry’s Board of Directors has authorized stock repurchase programs on four occasions (see “Note 5 — Dividends and Stock Repurchase Program”). The first repurchase program was completed in April 2008, the second program completed in November 2009 and the third program was completed in September 2010. The fourth repurchase program was approved by the DeVry Board of Directors in August 2010. Shares that are repurchased by DeVry are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.
     From time to time, shares of its common stock are delivered back to DeVry under a swap arrangement resulting from employees’ exercise of incentive stock options pursuant to the terms of the DeVry Stock Incentive Plans (see “Note 3 — Stock-Based Compensation”). These shares are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders’ Equity.
     Treasury shares are reissued on a monthly basis at market value, to the DeVry Employee Stock Purchase Plan in exchange for employee payroll deductions. When treasury shares are reissued, DeVry uses an average cost method to reduce the Treasury Stock balance. Gains on the difference between the average cost and the reissuance price are credited to Additional Paid-in Capital. Losses on the difference are charged to Additional Paid-in Capital to the extent that previous net gains from reissuance are included therein; otherwise such losses are charged to Retained Earnings.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
     Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is composed of the change in cumulative translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of the effects of income taxes. The following are the amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the three months ended September 30 (dollars in thousands).

Advertising Expense
     Advertising costs are recognized as expense in the period in which materials are purchased or services are performed. Advertising expense, which is included in student services and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $62.0 million and $52.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
     Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In January 2010, the FASB issued and revised authoritative guidance for improving disclosure on fair value measurements. This guidance requires reporting entities to provide information about movements of assets among levels of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157 (ASC 820). The guidance is effective for DeVry’s fiscal year 2011, and it should be used for quarterly and annual filings. The application of this guidance did not have a significant impact on DeVry’s financial disclosures.
NOTE 3: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
     DeVry maintains four stock-based award plans: the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2005 Incentive Plan. Under these plans, directors, key executives and managerial employees are eligible to receive incentive stock or nonqualified options to purchase shares of DeVry’s common stock. The 2005 Incentive Plan also permits the award of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance stock and other stock and cash based compensation. The 1999 and 2003 Stock Incentive Plans and the 2005 Incentive Plan are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Options are granted for terms of up to 10 years and can vest immediately or over periods of up to five years. The requisite service period is equal to the vesting period. The option price under the plans is the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.
     DeVry accounts for options granted to retirement eligible employees that fully vest upon an employee’s retirement under the non-substantive vesting period approach to these options. Under this approach, the entire compensation cost is recognized at the grant date for options issued to retirement eligible employees.
     At September 30, 2010, 4,683,254 authorized but unissued shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under DeVry’s stock incentive plans.
     Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period, reduced by an estimated forfeiture rate.

     The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
     The fair value of DeVry’s stock-based awards was estimated using a binomial model. This model uses historical cancellation and exercise experience of DeVry to determine the option value. It also takes into account the illiquid nature of employee options during the vesting period.

Table of Contents

     The weighted average estimated grant date fair values, for options granted at market price under DeVry’s stock option plans during first three months of fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were $16.53 and $23.09, per share, respectively. The fair values of DeVry’s stock option awards were estimated assuming the following weighted average assumptions:
                 
    Fiscal year
    2011   2010
Expected Life (in Years)
    6.67       6.77  
Expected Volatility
    41.88 %     41.06 %
Risk-free Interest Rate
    1.99 %     3.02 %
Dividend Yield
    0.29 %     0.31 %
Pre-vesting Forfeiture Rate
    5.00 %     5.00 %
     The expected life of the options granted is based on the weighted average exercise life with age and salary adjustment factors from historical exercise behavior. DeVry’s expected volatility is computed by combining and weighting the implied market volatility, the most recent volatility over the expected life of the option grant, and DeVry’s long-term historical volatility. The pre-vesting forfeiture rate is based on DeVry’s historical stock option forfeiture experience.
     If factors change and different assumptions are employed in the valuation of stock-based awards in future periods, the stock-based compensation expense that DeVry records may differ significantly from what was recorded in previous periods.
     During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, DeVry granted 249,180 shares of restricted stock to selected employees and non-employee directors. Of these, 69,970 are performance based shares which are earned by the recipients over a three year period based on achievement of specified DeVry return on invested capital targets. The remaining 179,210 shares and all other previously granted non-performance shares of restricted stock are subject to restrictions which lapse ratably over three and four-year periods on the grant anniversary date based on the recipient’s continued service on the Board of Directors or employment with DeVry, or upon retirement. During the restriction period, the recipient of the non-performance based shares shall have a beneficial interest in the restricted stock and all associated rights and privileges of a stockholder, including the right to receive dividends. These rights do not pertain to the performance based shares. The following is a summary of restricted stock activity for the three months ended September 30, 2010:

Table of Contents

     As of September 30, 2010, $31.3 million of total pre-tax unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years. The total fair value of options and shares vested during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, was approximately $5.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
     There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at September 30, 2010 and 2009.
     DeVry has an established practice of issuing new shares of common stock to satisfy share option exercises. However, DeVry also may issue treasury shares to satisfy option exercises under certain of its plans.
NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
     As permitted by the authoritative guidance, DeVry has elected not to measure any assets or liabilities at fair value other than those required to be measured at fair value such as financial assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis such as goodwill and intangible assets. Management has fully considered all authoritative guidance when determining the fair value of DeVry’s financial assets as of September 30, 2010.
     Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The guidance establishes fair value measurement classifications under the following hierarchy:
Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.
     When available, DeVry uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and such measurements are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, DeVry makes use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates and yield curves. These measurements are classified within Level 3.
     Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
     The following tables present DeVry’s assets at September 30, 2010, that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy (dollars in thousands).

     Below is a roll-forward of assets measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the three months ended September 30, 2010 (dollars in thousands). All Level 3 investments were purchased by DeVry’s broker, UBS, in early July 2010. These investments consisted of auction rate securities. These securities were valued using a discounted cash flow model using assumptions that, in management’s judgment, reflected the assumptions a marketplace participant would have used. See “Note 2-Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies-Marketable Securities and Investments” for further information on these investments.

NOTE 5: DIVIDENDS AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
     On May 18, 2010, the DeVry Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share. This dividend was paid on July 8, 2010, to common stockholders of record as of June 15, 2010. The total dividend declared of $7.1 million was recorded as a reduction to retained earnings as of June 30, 2010. Future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
     On August 11, 2010, the DeVry Board of Directors authorized a fourth share repurchase program, which will again allow DeVry to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock through June 30, 2012. Under this plan as of September 30, 2010, DeVry has repurchased, on the open market, 266,216 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $11.7 million. The timing and amount of any repurchase will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
     DeVry completed its first share repurchase program in April 2008, repurchasing, on the open market, 908,399 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $35.0 million. On May 13, 2008, the DeVry Board of Directors authorized a second share repurchase program, which allowed DeVry to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock through December 31, 2010. As of November 30, 2009, DeVry completed this share repurchase program, repurchasing, on the open market, 1,027,417 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $50.0 million. On November 11, 2009, the DeVry Board of Directors authorized a third share repurchase program, which allowed DeVry to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock through December 31, 2011. As of September 30, 2010, DeVry completed this share repurchase program, repurchasing, on the open market, 972,205 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $50.0 million.
     Shares of stock repurchased under the programs are held as treasury shares. These repurchased shares have reduced the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.
NOTE 6: INTANGIBLE ASSETS
     Intangible assets relate mainly to acquired business operations. These assets consist of the acquisition fair value of certain identifiable intangible assets acquired and goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed.

Table of Contents

     The amount being amortized for the AAI Customer Contracts is based on the estimated renewal probability of the contracts, giving consideration to the revenue and discounted cash flow associated with both types of customer relationships. This results in the basis being amortized at an annual rate for each of the years of estimated economic life as follows:

     The amount being amortized for the DeVry Brasil Student Relationships is based on the estimated progression of the students through the respective programs, giving consideration to the revenue and cash flow associated with both existing students and new applicants. This results in the basis being amortized at an annual rate for each of the years of estimated economic life as follows:

    8.3 %
2010
    30.3 %

    24.7 %
2012
    19.8 %
2013
    13.6 %
2014
    3.3 %
     Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to Trademarks, Trade Names, Title IV Eligibility, Accreditations and Intellectual Property are not amortized, as there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets to the reporting entity. Beginning in fiscal year 2010, the Trade Name associated with the Stalla CFA Review was reclassified to a finite lived intangible asset and is being amortized on a straight line basis over two years. This asset had a book value of $0.7 million as of September 30, 2010. As of the latest impairment analysis completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the asset’s fair value exceeded this book value.
     Authoritative guidance provides that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 at which time there was no impairment loss associated with recorded goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets, as estimated fair values exceeded the carrying amount.
     DeVry did not perform an interim impairment review during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, as no impairment indicators were noted through the period ended September 30, 2010. The estimated fair values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying values by at least 40% as of the end of fiscal year 2010 except those indefinite-lived intangible assets acquired with the acquisitions of Carrington and DeVry Brasil where fair values exceeded carrying values by at least 14%. The smaller premium for the newly acquired assets would be expected considering all have been acquired within twenty months of the fourth quarter fiscal year 2010 valuation date. Management did not believe business conditions had deteriorated in any of its reporting units to the extent that the fair values of the reporting units or indefinite-lived intangible assets would have differed materially from their fiscal year 2010 fair values. In this regard, revenues grew for all reporting units in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011except at Advanced Academics (AAI). At AAI, which carries a goodwill balance of $17.1 million, revenues declined slightly from the prior year. The revenue decline at Advanced Academics was the result of lower summer school and fall enrollments as school districts have reduced such programs driven by state budget constraints. AAI also experienced a decline in operating profit which was the result of the decline in revenues and increased investment to initiate programs designed to enhance future revenue growth. The fair value of the AAI reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value as of the fiscal year 2010 impairment analysis. Management believes the negative trends at AAI will be temporary and believes its planned business and operational strategies will reverse this negative trend in the foreseeable future. However, if operating improvements are not realized, all or some of the goodwill could be impaired in the future.

     Total goodwill increased by $1.24 million from June 30, 2010. This increase is the result of an increase in the value of the Brazilian Real as compared to the U.S. dollar. Since DeVry Brasil goodwill is recorded in the local Brazilian currency, fluctuations in its value in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset.

     The only change in the indefinite-lived intangible assets balances from June 30, 2010, resulted from the effects of foreign currency translation. Since DeVry Brasil intangible assets are recorded in the local Brazilian currency, fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian Real in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset.
NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES
     DeVry’s effective income tax rate reflects benefits derived from significant operations outside the United States. Earnings of these international operations are not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes, so long as such earnings are not repatriated, as discussed below. Three of DeVry’s subsidiaries, Ross University School of Medicine (the Medical School) incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (the Veterinary School) incorporated under the laws of the Federation of St. Christopher, Nevis, St. Kitts in the West Indies, and DeVry Brasil incorporated under the laws of Brazil, all benefit from local tax incentives. The Medical and Veterinary Schools have agreements with the respective governments that exempt them from local income taxation through the years 2043 and 2023, respectively, while DeVry Brasil’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from their participation in PROUNI, a Brazilian program for providing scholarships to a portion of its undergraduate students.

     DeVry has not recorded a U.S. federal or state tax provision for the undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries. It is DeVry’s intention to indefinitely reinvest accumulated cash balances, future cash flows and post-acquisition undistributed earnings and profits to improve the facilities and operations of its international Schools and pursue future opportunities outside the United States. In accordance with this plan, cash held by the international subsidiaries will not be available for general company purposes and under current laws will not be subject to U.S. taxation. As of September 30 2010 and 2009, cumulative undistributed earnings attributable to international operations were approximately $280.4 million and $216.1 million, respectively.
     The effective tax rate was 34.5% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, compared to 32.0% for the prior year. The higher effective income tax rate in fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to an increase in the proportion of income generated by U.S. operations versus the offshore operations of Ross University as compared to the prior year.
     As of September 30, 2010, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions, including positions impacting only the timing of tax benefits, was $5.8 million. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $5.8 million. As of September 30, 2009, gross unrecognized tax benefits, including positions impacting only the timing of benefits, was $2.3 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $1.9 million. We expect that our unrecognized tax benefits will increase by an insignificant amount during the next twelve months. DeVry classifies interest and penalties on tax uncertainties as a component of the provision for income taxes. The total amount of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2010 was $0.7 million. The corresponding amount at September 30, 2010 was not materially different from the amount at June 30, 2010..

Revolving Credit Facility
     All of DeVry’s borrowings and letters of credit under its $175 million revolving credit facility are through DeVry Inc. and Global Education International, Inc. (“GEI”), an international subsidiary. The revolving credit facility became effective on May 16, 2003, and was amended as of September 30, 2005 and again on January 11, 2007. DeVry Inc. aggregate commitments including borrowings and letters of credit under this agreement cannot exceed $175.0 million, and GEI aggregate commitments cannot exceed $50.0 million. At the request of DeVry, the maximum borrowings and letters of credit can be increased to $275.0 million in total with GEI aggregate commitments not to exceed $50.0 million. There are no required payments under this revolving credit agreement and all borrowings and letters of credit mature on January 11, 2012. As a result of the agreement extending beyond one year, any borrowings would be classified as long-term with the exception of amounts expected to be repaid in the 12 months subsequent to the balance sheet date. DeVry Inc. letters of credit outstanding under this agreement were $4.5 million and $15.2 million as of September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, had there been outstanding borrowings under this agreement they would have borne interest, payable quarterly or upon expiration of the interest rate period, at the prime rate or at a LIBOR rate plus 0.50%, at the option of DeVry. Outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit agreement are charged an annual fee equal to 0.50% of the undrawn face amount of the letter of credit, payable quarterly. The agreement also requires payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.1% of the undrawn portion of the credit facility. The interest rate, letter of credit fees and commitment fees are adjustable quarterly, based upon DeVry’s achievement of certain financial ratios.
     The revolving credit agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. These financial ratios include a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated leverage ratio and a composite Equity, Primary Reserve and Net Income, Department of Education, financial responsibility ratio (“DOE Ratio”).

Table of Contents

Failure to maintain any of these ratios or to comply with other covenants contained in the agreement will constitute an event of default and could result in termination of the agreement and require payment of all outstanding borrowings. DeVry was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2010.
     The stock of certain subsidiaries of DeVry is pledged as collateral for the borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Auction Rate Securities Collateralized Line of Credit
     In connection with the completion of the acquisition of Carrington, on September 18, 2008, DeVry borrowed approximately $46 million against its portfolio of auction rate securities under a temporary, uncommitted, demand revolving line of credit facility between DeVry Inc. and UBS Bank USA (the “Lender”). This borrowing totaled approximately 80% of the fair market value on September 18, 2008, of DeVry’s auction rate securities portfolio held through its broker, UBS, which was the maximum borrowing permitted under this credit facility. These borrowings were fully repaid as of June 30, 2010, and the lending agreement was terminated.
NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
     DeVry is subject to occasional lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews and investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other claims arising in the normal conduct of its business. The following is a description of pending litigation that may be considered other than ordinary and routine litigation that is incidental to the business.
     The Boca Raton Firefighters’ and Police Pension Fund filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on November 1, 2010. The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased DeVry common stock between October 25, 2007, and August 13, 2010. The plaintiffs claim DeVry, Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst and David J. Pauldine violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated there under by failing to disclose abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending practices, thereby increasing DeVry’s student enrollment and revenues and artificially inflating DeVry’s stock price during the class period. The lawsuit has not been served. DeVry and its executives believe the allegations contained in the complaint are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.
     The ultimate outcome of pending litigation and other proceedings, reviews, investigations and contingencies is difficult to estimate. At this time, DeVry does not expect that the outcome of any such matter will have a material effect on its cash flows, results of operations or financial position.
NOTE 10: SEGMENT INFORMATION
     DeVry’s principal business is providing secondary and post-secondary education. The services of our operations are described in more detail in “Note 1- Nature of Operations” to the consolidated financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. DeVry presents four reportable segments: “Business, Technology and Management”, which includes DeVry University undergraduate and graduate operations; “Professional Education”, which includes the professional exam review and training operations of Becker CPA Review and Stalla Review for the CFA Exams; “Medical and Healthcare” which includes the operations of Ross University medical and veterinary schools, Chamberlain College of Nursing and Carrington; and “Other Educational” which includes the DeVry Brasil and AAI operations.
     These segments are consistent with the method by which the Chief Operating Decision Maker (DeVry’s President and CEO) evaluates performance and allocates resources. Such decisions are based, in part, on each segment’s operating income, which is defined as income before interest income and expense, amortization, minority interest and income taxes. Intersegment sales are accounted for at amounts comparable to sales to nonaffiliated customers and are eliminated in consolidation. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in “Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
     The consistent measure of segment operating income excludes interest income and expense, amortization and certain corporate-related depreciation and expenses. As such, these items are reconciling items in arriving at income before income taxes. The consistent measure of segment assets excludes deferred income tax assets and certain depreciable corporate assets. Additions to long-lived assets have been measured in this same manner. Reconciling items are included as corporate assets.
     Following is a tabulation of business segment information based on the current segmentation for each of the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Corporate information is included where it is needed to reconcile segment data to the consolidated financial statements (dollars in thousands).

ITEM 2 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     Through its website, DeVry offers (free of charge) its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. DeVry’s Web site is http://www.devryinc.com.
     The following discussion of DeVry’s results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with DeVry’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto in Item 1, “FINANCIAL STATEMENTS” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and DeVry’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto in Item 8 “FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA” in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a description of critical accounting policies and estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of DeVry’s financial statements. These include, but are not limited to, revenue and expense recognition; allowance for uncollectible accounts; internally developed software; land, buildings and equipment; stock-based compensation; impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets; impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes.
     The somewhat seasonal pattern of DeVry’s enrollments and its educational program starting dates affect the results of operations and the timing of cash flows. Therefore, management believes that comparisons of its results of operations should be made to the corresponding period in the preceding year. Comparisons of financial position should be made to both the end of the previous fiscal year and to the end of the corresponding quarterly period in the preceding year.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
     Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those that affect DeVry’s expectations or plans, may constitute “forward-looking statements” subject to the Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as DeVry Inc. or its management “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “foresees,” “intends,” “plans” or other words or phrases of similar import. Such statements are inherently uncertain and may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause future results to differ materially from those projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties that could affect DeVry’s results are described throughout this Report, including those in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings”, and in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and filed with the Securities and

     All forward-looking statements included in this report are based upon information presently available, and DeVry assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
     DeVry’s focus on academic quality, successful student outcomes, and continued execution of its diversification strategy has produced another quarter of solid results. Operational and financial highlights for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 include:
   
Chamberlain College of Nursing began offering nursing programs at its two new campuses in Chicago and Arlington, Virginia, in July 2010. Both of these Chamberlain locations are co-located with DeVry University campuses.
 
   
Total revenues rose 21.0%, reaching a quarterly record high of $521.4 million, and net income of $73.6 million increased 34.5% over the year-ago period, while at the same time DeVry continued to make investments in its educational programs and to enhance student services.
 
   
During the quarter, DeVry completed its third share repurchase program and began executing its fourth program. DeVry repurchased 972,205 shares of its common stock under the third program at an average cost of $51.43 per share. As of September 30, 2010, DeVry had repurchased 266,216 shares of its common stock under its fourth share repurchase program at an average cost of $43.95 per share.
 
   
DeVry’s financial position remained strong generating $196.0 million of operating cash flow during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, driven primarily by strong operating results and working capital improvements. As of September 30, 2010, cash and marketable securities balances totaled $453.3 million and there were no outstanding borrowings.

REVENUES
     Total consolidated revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 of $521.4 million increased $90.3 million, or 21.0%, as compared to the year-ago quarter. Revenues increased within all four of DeVry’s business segments as a result of growth in total student enrollments, improved student retention and tuition price increases.
     Business, Technology and Management
     Business, Technology and Management segment revenues increased 24.5% to $352.9 million as compared to the year-ago period driven primarily by strong enrollment growth, improved retention and tuition price increases. The Business, Technology and Management segment is comprised solely of DeVry University. Key trends in enrollment and tuition pricing are set forth below.
     Total undergraduate enrollment by term:
   
Increased by 22.7% from fall 2008 (52,146 students) to fall 2009 (64,003 students);
 
   
Increased by 25.6% from spring 2009 (53,259 students) to spring 2010 (66,909 students); and
 
   
Increased by 22.0% from summer 2009 (55,979 students) to summer 2010 (68,290 students). This was a record high enrollment at DeVry University and marked the fourteenth consecutive term of positive total undergraduate student enrollment growth from the year-ago level.
     New undergraduate enrollment by term:
   
Increased by 19.4% from fall 2008 (15,811 students) to fall 2009 (18,878 students);
 
   
Increased by 24.0% from spring 2009 (14,288 students) to spring 2010 (17,715 students); and
 
   
Increased by 9.9% from summer 2009 (19,057 students) to summer 2010 (20,935 students). The summer 2010 term was the seventeenth consecutive term in which new undergraduate student enrollments increased from the year-ago level.
     Graduate coursetaker enrollment, including the Keller Graduate School of Management:
     The term “coursetaker” refers to the number of courses taken by a student. Thus, one student taking two courses is counted as two coursetakers.
   
Increased by 17.6% from the July 2009 session (17,991 coursetakers) to the July 2010 session (21,165 coursetakers); and
 
   
Increased by 14.1% from the September 2009 session (20,496 coursetakers) to the September 2010 session (23,389 coursetakers).
     Tuition rates:
   
Effective July 2010, DeVry University’s U.S. undergraduate tuition ranges from $580 to $600 per credit hour for students enrolling in 1 to 11 credit hours. Tuition ranges from $350 to $360 per credit hour for each credit hour in excess of 11 credit hours. These tuition rates vary by location and/or program and represent an expected weighted average increase of approximately 3.5% as compared to the year-ago period. These amounts do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation and living expenses.
 
   
Effective July 2010, Keller Graduate School of Management program tuition per classroom course ranges from $2,100 to $2,225, depending on location. This represents an expected weighted average increase of 2.1% as compared to the year-ago period. The price for a graduate course taken online is $2,225, compared to $2,200 previously.
     Management believes the increased undergraduate student enrollments were most significantly impacted by DeVry’s strong track record of high-quality education and academic outcomes, graduate employment outcomes, continued strong demand for DeVry University’s online programs and improved retention of existing students. Management believes efforts to enhance the Keller Graduate School of Management brand awareness through improved messaging have produced positive graduate enrollment results.
     Management expects that DeVry University undergraduate new student growth will decelerate resulting in a modest decline in new student enrollments for the upcoming fall 2010 enrollment period. This is being driven by overlapping high new student growth rates

22


Table of Contents

in prior years; decreasing volume of high quality inquiry flow; and economic uncertainties. However, management expects that DeVry University total student growth for the fall enrollment period will be in the mid-to-high teens, benefiting from continued improvements in student persistence.
Medical and Healthcare
     Medical and Healthcare segment revenues increased 16.6% to $136.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Higher student enrollments at Chamberlain College of Nursing (“Chamberlain”) were a key driver of the segment revenue growth, which more than offset a decline in new student enrollments at Ross University and Carrington Colleges Group, Inc. (“Carrington”). Key trends for Ross University, Chamberlain and Carrington are set forth below.
     Ross University total enrollment by term:
   
Increased by 8.0% from January 2009 (4,323 students) to January 2010 (4,669 students);
 
   
Increased by 2.1% from May 2009 (4,448 students) to May 2010 (4,542 students); and
 
   
Decreased by 0.7% from September 2009 (4,601 students) to September 2010 (4,567 students).
     Ross University new student enrollment by term:
   
Increased by 14.4% from January 2009 (611 students) to January 2010 (699 students);
 
   
Decreased by 39.5% from May 2009 (562 students) to May 2010 (340 students); and
 
   
Decreased by 26.4% from September 2009 (666 students) to September 2010 (490 students).
     Chamberlain College of Nursing total enrollment by term:
   
Increased by 67.2% from November 2008 (3,360 students) to November 2009 (5,617 students);
 
   
Increased by 72.2% from March 2009 (3,885 students) to March 2010 (6,691 students); and
 
   
Increased by 65.2% from July 2009 (4,302 students) to July 2010 (7,108 students).

Tuition rates:
   
Effective September 2010, tuition and fees for the beginning basic sciences portion of the programs at the Ross University medical and veterinary schools will be $15,600 and $15,000, respectively, per semester. This tuition rate represents an increase from September 2009 tuition rates of approximately 6.4% for the medical school and 4.3% for the veterinary school.
 
   
Effective September 2010, tuition and fees for the Ross University final clinical portion of the programs are $17,125 per semester for the medical school, and $18,850 per semester for the veterinary school. This represents and increase from September 2009 tuition rates of approximately 6.4% for the medical school and 4.4% for the veterinary school. These amounts do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation, and living expenses.
 
   
Effective July 2010, tuition for the 2010-2011 academic year is $620 per credit hour for students enrolled in Chamberlain’s BSN (onsite), ADN and LPN-to-RN programs. Students enrolled on a full-time basis (between 12 and 17 credit hours) are charged a flat tuition amount of $7,440 per semester. This represents an increase from 2009-2010 academic year tuition rates of approximately 4.2%. These amounts do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation and living expenses.
 
   
Effective July 2010, tuition for students enrolled in Chamberlain’s RN-to-BSN online degree program is $575 per credit hour. This tuition rate is unchanged from the 2009-2010 academic year. Tuition for the 2010-2011 academic year is $650 per credit hour for students enrolled in the online MSN program. These amounts do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation and living expenses.
 
   
Effective July 2010, on a per credit hour basis, tuition for Carrington College and Carrington College California programs ranges from $347 per credit hour to $1,651 per credit hour for non-general education courses, with the wide range due to the nature of the programs. General Education courses are charged at $325 per credit hour at Carrington College, and $364 per credit hour at Carrington College California. Student tuition is reduced accordingly for any incoming academic credits that are applicable. Students are charged a non-refundable registration fee ranging from $95 to $100, and they are also charged separately for books and special (program specific) supplies and/or testing. A student services fee ranging from $75 to $150 is charged at Carrington College as well, depending on the program.
     An element of the growth strategy at Ross University School of Medicine was the development of a clinical education center located in Freeport, Grand Bahama. The clinical site was expected to mitigate capacity constraints at the main campus in Dominica. However, the projected volume of Ross students studying in Freeport has not been realized due to factors including an unforeseen delay in the review process in California and caution on the part of existing students considering Freeport. Four states, including California, require notification for licensing of clinical studies in their states. Ross notified all such states regarding the Freeport location, however, California later concluded that the Freeport center would be subject to a more extensive evaluation process. Management hopes to have a resolution to the Freeport matters in the coming months. Currently, Ross is not teaching students at its Freeport location. These near-term challenges resulted in lower new student enrollments in both the May 2010 and September 2010 semesters.
     Management is executing revised plans to add capacity in Dominica. Management expects that continued demand for medical doctors and veterinarians positively influences career decisions of new students towards these respective fields of study.
     The increase in student enrollments at Chamberlain was largely attributable to its growing RN-to-BSN online completion program. In addition, in July 2010 Chamberlain began offering its nursing programs at two new locations in Arlington, Virginia and Chicago. All of these campuses are co-located with DeVry University.
     Management believes the increased total student enrollments at Carrington were most significantly impacted by the continued demand for healthcare personnel. Management expects that Carrington new student growth will decelerate resulting in a modest decline in new student enrollments for the upcoming fall 2010 enrollment period. This is being driven by overlapping high new student growth rates in the year-ago period; decreasing volume of high quality inquiry flow; and economic uncertainties.
Professional Education
     Professional Education segment revenues increased 4.2% to $20.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the year-ago period as demand for Becker’s CPA review courses improved. Management expects Becker’s revenue growth to remain relatively modest for fiscal year 2011, driven by the impact of the continued economic downturn on the accounting and finance professions that this segment serves.

     Other Educational Services
     Other Educational Services segment revenues grew 5.3% to $11.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the year-ago period. Revenue growth at DeVry Brasil, driven by increasing student enrollments, more than offset a decline in revenue at Advanced Academics. The revenue decline at Advanced Academics was the result of lower summer school and fall enrollments as school districts have reduced such programs driven by state budget constraints.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of Educational Services
     The largest component of Cost of Educational Services is the cost of employees who support educational operations. This expense category also includes the costs of facilities, adjunct faculty, supplies, bookstore and other educational materials, student education-related support activities, and the provision for uncollectible student accounts.
     DeVry’s Cost of Educational Services increased 16.1% to $228.1 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the year-ago quarter. Cost increases were incurred in support of expanding DeVry University online and onsite enrollments and operating a higher number of DeVry University locations as compared to the prior year. Also, cost increases were incurred for the operation of the new Chamberlain campuses in Chicago and Arlington, Virginia, which began offering programs in July 2010 and to support growing online student enrollments. Cost increases were incurred at Carrington associated with operating a higher number of locations as compared to the prior year and increased hiring of career services employees. Expense attributed to stock-based awards included in Cost of Educational Services increased during fiscal year 2011 as a result of an increase in the number stock awards granted to retirement eligible employees during the current year.
     As a percent of revenue, Cost of Educational Services decreased to 43.7% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 from 45.6% during the prior year period. The decrease was the combined result of increased operating leverage with existing facilities and staff and revenue gains, which more than offset incremental investments to maintain the high quality of DeVry’s educational offerings and to drive future revenue growth.
Student Services and Administrative Expense
     This expense category includes student admissions, marketing and advertising costs, general and administrative costs, expenses associated with curriculum development, and the amortization expense of finite-lived intangible assets related to acquisitions of businesses.
     Student Services and Administrative Expense grew 16.9% to $181.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the year-ago quarter. The increase in expenses represented additional investments in advertising and recruiting to drive and support future growth in new student enrollments. In addition, cost increases were incurred in information technology and student services. Expense attributed to stock-based awards included in Student Services and Administrative Expense increased during fiscal year 2011 as a result of an increase in the number of stock awards granted to retirement eligible employees during the current year.
     Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets in connection with acquisitions of businesses decreased during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the year-ago period, as the respective student relationships and trade names from the Carrington acquisition were fully amortized as of December 31, 2009. Amortization expense is included entirely in the Student Services and Administrative Expense category.
     As a percent of revenue, Student Services and Administrative Expense decreased to 34.8% in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 from 36.0% during the year-ago quarter. The decrease was the combined result of increased operating leverage from advertising and student recruiting costs, which more than offset incremental investments in student services and home office support personnel.
OPERATING INCOME
     Total consolidated operating income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 of $111.8 million increased 40.8% as compared to the prior year quarter. Operating income increased at DeVry’s respective Business, Technology and Management and Medical and Healthcare segments. These increases were partially offset by a decline in operating income at DeVry’s Professional Education and Other Educational Services segments.
Business, Technology and Management
     Business, Technology and Management segment operating income increased 50.7% to $84.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, as compared to the year-ago period. The increase in operating income was the result of higher revenue and an

25


Table of Contents

increase in operating leverage, while at the same time, continuing to make investments in academic quality and student service to drive future enrollment growth.
Medical and Healthcare
     Medical and Healthcare segment operating income increased 3.8% to $28.2 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in operating income at Chamberlain more than offset the slight decline in operating income at both Ross University and Carrington. Ross University operating income declined slightly due to lower new student enrollments, as discussed above, and investments to increase capacity. Carrington operating income decreased as a result of lower new student enrollments and a higher level of spending associated with Carrington’s name change, as compared to the year ago quarter.
Professional Education
     Professional Education segment operating income declined 1.0% to $6.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in operating income was the result of increased investments in curriculum development, academic quality and marketing related to expanding the business-to-business sales channel.
Other Educational Services
     For the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, Other Educational Services segment recorded an operating loss of $7.5 million as compared to an operating loss of $6.5 million during the year-ago quarter. The increase in the operating loss was the result of a decline in revenue at Advanced Academics and increased investments at both DeVry Brasil and Advance Academics to drive future enrollment growth. In addition, the first fiscal quarter represents a seasonal low point for tuition revenue at both Advanced Academics and DeVry Brasil.
NET INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
     Interest income decreased 15.4%, to $0.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the prior year period. Despite an increase in invested balances as compared to the prior year period, interest income decreased because of lower interest rates earned on invested balances during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. The increase in invested cash balances was attributable to improved operating cash flow over the past twelve months partially offset by cash used in connection with increased share repurchases and debt repayment.
     Interest expense decreased by $0.2 million, or 39.8%, to $0.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to the repayment of outstanding borrowings under DeVry’s revolving line of credit.
     DeVry recorded net investment gains of $0.8 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. These gains were the result of changes in the valuation of DeVry’s auction rate security portfolio and related put option. As of early July 2010, DeVry had fully liquidated its auction rate security portfolio at par value. There were no investment gains in the current year quarter.
INCOME TAXES
     Taxes on income were 34.5% of pretax income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, compared to 32.0% for the prior year period. The higher effective tax rate was attributable to a greater proportion of pre-tax income being generated by U.S. operations versus the international operations of Ross University in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year. Earnings of Ross University’s international operations are not subject to U.S. federal or state taxes and also are exempt from income taxes in the jurisdictions in which the schools operate. The medical and veterinary schools have agreements with their respective governments that exempt them from local income taxation through the years 2043 and 2023, respectively. DeVry intends to indefinitely reinvest Ross University earnings and cash flow to improve and expand facilities and operations at the medical and veterinary schools, and pursue other business opportunities outside the United States. Accordingly, DeVry has not recorded a current provision for the payment of U.S. income taxes on these earnings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     DeVry’s primary source of liquidity is the cash received from payments for student tuition, books, other educational materials and fees. These payments include funds originating as financial aid from various federal, state and provincial loan and grant programs; student and family educational loans (“private loans”); employer educational reimbursements; and student and family financial resources. Private loans as a percent of DeVry’s total revenue are relatively small.

26


Table of Contents

     In connection with the turmoil in the credit markets and economic downturn over the past two years, some lenders changed or exited certain private loan programs. Also, certain lenders have tightened underwriting criteria for private loans. To date, these actions have not had a material impact on DeVry’s students’ ability to access funds for their educational needs and thus its enrollments. DeVry monitors the student lending situation very closely and continues to pursue all available financing options for its students, including DeVry’s institutional loan programs.
     The following table summarizes DeVry’s cash receipts from tuition and related fee payments by fund source as a percentage of total revenue for the fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. Final data for fiscal year 2010 is not yet available.

     The pattern of cash receipts during the year is somewhat seasonal. DeVry’s accounts receivable peak immediately after bills are issued each session. Historically, accounts receivable reach their lowest level at the end of each session, dropping to their lowest point during the year at the end of June.
     At September 30, 2010, total accounts receivable, net of related reserves, was $161.3 million, compared to $157.0 million at September 30, 2009. The increase in net accounts receivable was attributable to revenue growth across all four business segments as compared to the year-ago period, partially offset by improved collections, as receivables per account across DeVry’s schools are generally in line or lower than the prior year.
Financial Aid
     DeVry is highly dependent upon the timely receipt of federal financial aid funds. All financial aid and assistance programs are subject to political and governmental budgetary considerations. In the United States, the Higher Education Act (“HEA”) guides the federal government’s support of postsecondary education. If there are changes to financial aid programs that restrict student eligibility or reduce funding levels, DeVry’s financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Please see Item 1A Risk Factors in DeVry’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010, for a discussion of student financial aid related risks.
     In addition, government-funded financial assistance programs are governed by extensive and complex regulations in both the United States and Canada. Like any other educational institution, DeVry’s administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by various regulatory agencies and is subject to audit or investigation by other governmental authorities. Any violation could be the basis for penalties or other disciplinary action, including initiation of a suspension, limitation or termination proceeding. Previous Department of Education and state regulatory agency program reviews have not resulted in material findings or adjustments against DeVry.
     A U.S. Department of Education regulation known as the “90/10 Rule” affects only proprietary postsecondary institutions, such as DeVry University, Ross University, Chamberlain, Carrington College and Carrington College California. Under this regulation, an institution that derives more than 90% of its revenues from federal financial assistance programs in any year may not participate in these programs for the following year.

Table of Contents

     The following table details the percent of revenue from federal financial assistance programs for each of DeVry’s Title IV eligible institutions for fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively. Final data for fiscal year 2010 is not yet available.

     Under the terms of DeVry’s participation in financial aid programs, certain cash received from state governments and the U.S. Department of Education is maintained in restricted bank accounts. DeVry receives these funds either after the financial aid authorization and disbursement process for the benefit of the student is completed, or just prior to that authorization. Once the authorization and disbursement process for a particular student is completed, the funds may be transferred to unrestricted accounts and become available for DeVry to use in current operations. This process generally occurs during the academic term for which such funds have been authorized. At September 30, 2010, cash in the amount of $11.1 million was held in restricted bank accounts, compared to $10.9 million at September 30, 2009.
Cash from Operations
     Cash generated from operations in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $196.0 million, compared to $177.2 million in the prior year period. Cash flow from operations increased $18.8 million due to higher net income. Greater cash flow was also a result of an increase in deferred tuition revenue and advanced tuition payments of $15.2 million driven by increased student enrollments, primarily at DeVry University and Chamberlain. In addition, due to continued improvements in collections management, accounts receivable, net of related reserves, decreased and resulted in a $10.2 million greater source of cash as compared to the year-ago period. An increase in non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation resulted in a $0.9 million greater source of cash. These increases in operating cash flow were partially offset by $22.6 million from a lower source of cash compared to the prior year for changes in levels of prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Variations in the levels of accrued and prepaid expenses and accounts payable from period to period are caused, in part, by the timing of the period-end relative to DeVry’s payroll and bill payment cycles.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
     Capital expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 were $23.0 million compared to $26.5 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in capital expenditures was the result of a shift in starting projects between quarters. DeVry continues to invest capital to support Project DELTA (implementation of a new student information system for DeVry University and Chamberlain); facility expansion at the Ross University medical and veterinary schools; spending for the new Chamberlain campuses; new location openings and capacity expansion at Carrington; and facility improvements at DeVry University. Management anticipates full year fiscal 2011 capital spending to be in the range of $150 million.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
     During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, DeVry repurchased a total of 816,400 shares of its stock, on the open market, for approximately $36.3 million. DeVry completed its third share repurchase program and commenced its fourth program during the quarter, and as of September 30, 2010, the total remaining authorization under fourth repurchase program was $38.3 million. The timing and amount of any future repurchases will be determined by DeVry management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings under its revolving credit agreement and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
     DeVry’s Board of Directors declared a dividend on May 12, 2010 of $0.10 per share to common stockholders of record as of June 15, 2010. The total dividend of $7.1 million was paid on July 8, 2010.
     DeVry believes that it has sufficient liquidity despite the disruption in the credit markets over the past two years. Management believes that current balances of unrestricted cash, cash generated from operations and revolving loan facility will be sufficient to fund

28


Table of Contents

both DeVry’s current operations and growth plans, and current share repurchase program, for the foreseeable future unless future significant investment opportunities, similar to the acquisition of Carrington, should arise.
Other Contractual Arrangements
     DeVry’s long-term contractual obligations consist of its $175 million revolving credit facility, operating leases on facilities and equipment, and agreements for various services. DeVry has the option to expand the revolving credit facility to $275 million. At September 30, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings under DeVry’s revolving credit agreement. DeVry’s letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility were approximately $4.5 million as of September 30, 2010.
     DeVry is not a party to any off-balance sheet financing or contingent payment arrangements, nor are there any unconsolidated subsidiaries. DeVry has not extended any loans to any officer, director or other affiliated person. DeVry has not entered into any synthetic leases, and there are no residual purchase or value commitments related to any facility lease. DeVry did not enter into any significant derivatives, swaps, futures contracts, calls, hedges or non-exchange traded contracts during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. DeVry had no open derivative positions at September 30, 2010.
     DeVry’s consolidated cash balances of $451.0 million at September 30, 2010, included approximately $225.9 million of cash attributable to international operations. It is DeVry’s intention to indefinitely reinvest this cash and subsequent earnings and cash flow to improve and expand facilities and operations of its international operations, including Ross University and DeVry Brasil, and pursue future business opportunities outside the United States. Therefore, cash held by DeVry’s international operations will not be available for domestic general corporate purposes on a long-term basis.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     In January 2010, the FASB issued and revised authoritative guidance for improving disclosure on fair value measurements. This guidance requires reporting entities to provide information about movements of assets among levels of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157 (ASC 820). The guidance is effective for DeVry’s fiscal year 2011, and it should be used for quarterly and annual filings. The application of this guidance did not have a significant impact on DeVry’s financial disclosures.
ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
     DeVry is not dependent upon the price levels, nor affected by fluctuations in pricing, of any particular commodity or group of commodities. However, more than 50% of DeVry’s costs are in the form of employee wages and benefits. Changes in employment market conditions or escalations in employee benefit costs could cause DeVry to experience cost increases at levels beyond what it has historically experienced.
     The financial position and results of operations of Ross University’s Caribbean operations are measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Substantially all Ross University financial transactions are denominated in the U.S. dollar.
     The financial position and results of operations of DeVry’s Canadian educational programs are measured using the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. The Canadian operations have not entered into any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services, other than the lease agreement on a teaching facility. DeVry does not have any foreign exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments designed to mitigate changes in the value of the Canadian dollar. Because Canada-based assets constitute less than 1.0% of DeVry’s overall assets, and its Canadian liabilities constitute approximately 3% of overall liabilities, changes in the value of Canada’s currency at rates experienced during the past several years are unlikely to have a material effect on DeVry’s results of operations or financial position. Based upon the current value of the net assets in the Canadian operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would result in a translation adjustment of less than $100,000.
     The financial position and results of operations of DeVry’s investment in DeVry Brasil are measured using the Brazilian Real as the functional currency. DeVry Brasil has not entered into any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services, other than the lease agreements on teaching facilities and contingencies relating to prior acquisitions. Currently, DeVry does not have any foreign exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments designed to mitigate changes in the value of the Brazilian Real. Because Brazilian-based assets constitute approximately 4.0% of DeVry’s overall assets, and its Brazilian liabilities constitute less than 3% of overall liabilities, changes in the value of Brazil’s currency at rates experienced during the past several years are unlikely to have a material effect on DeVry’s results of operations or financial position. Based upon the current value of the net assets in DeVry Brasil’s operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar would result in a translation adjustment of less than $1.0 million.
     The interest rate on DeVry’s debt is based upon LIBOR interest rates for periods typically ranging from one to three months. Based upon borrowings of $50.0 million at September 30, 2010, a 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would result in

29


Table of Contents

approximately $0.5 million of additional annual interest expense. At September 30, 2010, DeVry had no outstanding borrowings. However, future investment opportunities and cash flow generated from operations may affect the level of outstanding borrowings and the effect of a change in interest rates.
     DeVry’s customers are principally individual students enrolled in its various educational programs. Accordingly, concentration of accounts receivable credit risk is small relative to total revenues or accounts receivable.
     DeVry’s cash is held in accounts at various large, financially secure depository institutions. Although the amount on deposit at a given institution typically will exceed amounts subject to guarantee, DeVry has not experienced any deposit losses to date, nor does management expect to incur such losses in the future.
ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
     Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer Certificates
     The required compliance certificates signed by the DeVry’s CEO and CFO are included as Exhibits 31 and 32 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
     Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to help ensure that all the information required to be disclosed in DeVry’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the applicable rules and forms.
     DeVry’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that DeVry’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that DeVry files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to DeVry’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
     Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
     There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, DeVry’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — Other Information
ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
     DeVry is subject to occasional lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews and investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other claims arising in the normal conduct of its business. The following is a description of pending litigation that may be considered other than ordinary and routine litigation that is incidental to the business.
     The Boca Raton Firefighters’ and Police Pension Fund filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on November 1, 2010. The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who purchased DeVry common stock between October 25, 2007, and August 13, 2010. The plaintiffs claim DeVry, Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst and David J. Pauldine violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated there under by failing to disclose abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending practices, thereby increasing DeVry’s student enrollment and revenues and artificially inflating DeVry’s stock price during the class period. The lawsuit has not been served. DeVry and its executives believe the allegations contained in the complaint are without merit and intends to defend them vigorously.
     The ultimate outcome of pending litigation and other proceedings, reviews, investigations and contingencies is difficult to estimate. At this time, DeVry does not expect that the outcome of any such matter will have a material effect on its cash flows, results of operations or financial position.
ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS
     In addition to the other information set forth in this report and the risk factor described below, the factors discussed in Part I “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in DeVry’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, which could materially affect DeVry’s business, financial condition or future results, should be carefully considered. Such risks are not the only risks facing DeVry. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to DeVry or that management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and/or operating results.
U.S. Department of Education (“USED”) rulemaking could result in regulatory changes that could have a material adverse effect on DeVry’s student enrollment and financial results.
     On October 28, 2010, the USED issued final regulations with respect to program integrity issues for postsecondary education institutions participating in Title IV programs, which will take effect on July 1, 2011. The USED expects to issue final rules in early 2011 related to the definition of gainful employment, which are expected to take effect on July 1, 2012. DeVry is in the process of reviewing the final regulations but does not anticipate making material changes to its operations in order to comply with the final regulations that were issued on October 28, 2010.
     At this time, DeVry cannot be certain what requirements may be included in final regulations relating to gainful employment. Accordingly, DeVry cannot project how any new requirements may affect the eligibility of DeVry’s U.S. degree granting institutions to participate in the Title IV Programs, their ability to comply with revised Title IV Program regulations, or the potential impact of any changes on students or their ability to finance their educations. Uncertainty surrounding the final rules, interpretive regulations or guidance by the Department of Education may continue for some period of time and may adversely affect DeVry’s business. The outcome of the final rules related to the definition of gainful employment could have a material adverse effect on DeVry’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
