Maantiede
2025Laureate's business is concentrated in Mexico and Peru, which are its two reportable segments and the source of essentially all operating revenue. Mexico contributed 52% of 2025 revenue and Peru 48% in the annual filing, while the interim mix shifted toward Mexico in the first half of 2025. The company operates through a network of campuses in both countries, and local regulation, public-university capacity, and enrollment seasonality materially shape performance.

Riskit
Laureate is exposed to country-specific economic, political, tax, legal, and foreign-currency risks because nearly all operations are in Mexico and Peru. Its results also depend on enrollment cycles, competitive pricing, brand reputation, accreditation quality, and the reliability of online systems that support both campus and digital delivery. As a private education provider, it faces pressure from public universities, local private competitors, and changing perceptions of the for-profit education sector.
