Maantiede

2025

Laureate'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.

Kirjanpito

Harkinnanvaraiset erät
Revenue recognition net of scholarships and discounts

Tuition is the main revenue source, so aid and waiver policies directly change reported revenue.

Vaikutus: Affects top-line revenue and comparability across periods

Seasonality from academic intake cycles

Primary and secondary intakes differ by country, causing revenue to cluster in different quarters.

Vaikutus: Quarterly revenue and margin volatility

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment

University brands and acquired institutions may require periodic impairment testing if demand weakens.

Vaikutus: Potential non-cash write-downs

Capitalized property and equipment for campuses

New campus construction and upgrades are significant and affect depreciation over time.

Vaikutus: Depreciation expense and invested capital

Indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings

Most earnings are generated outside the U.S., affecting deferred tax liability recognition.

Vaikutus: Tax expense and balance-sheet liabilities
