Laureate Education, Inc. operates five higher education institutions across Mexico and Peru, offering undergraduate, graduate, and specialized degree programs through both campus-based and online learning platforms.
In its latest earnings report for the third quarter and nine months ending September 30, 2025, Laureate Education announced a 9% increase in revenue for the third quarter compared to the same period in 2024, reaching $400.2 million. The company also reported a $150 million increase in its share repurchase authorization, reflecting confidence in its financial stability and future growth prospects.
Key financial metrics highlighted in the report include a 4% increase in revenue on an organic constant currency basis, despite a slight decline in operating income from $72.0 million in 2024 to $71.5 million in 2025. Net income saw a significant decrease from $85.3 million to $34.4 million, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates and the absence of a previous year’s tax benefit. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $94.8 million, up from $91.4 million in the previous year.
For the nine months ending September 30, 2025, Laureate reported a 2% increase in revenue to $1,160.5 million, with new enrollments rising by 7% and total enrollments by 6%. The company’s performance was impacted by intra-year academic calendar timing but is expected to balance out in the fourth quarter. The company maintains a strong balance sheet with $241.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and a net cash position of $138.6 million.
Looking ahead, Laureate Education has updated its 2025 outlook, projecting total enrollments of approximately 494,000 students and revenue growth of 7%-8%. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to grow by 13%-14%, reflecting the company’s strategic focus on expanding its digital offerings and enhancing shareholder value through increased stock buybacks.
