As of February 28, 2014, the Company’s unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities were $0.8 billion, compared to $1.5 billion at August 31, 2013.

These items were partially offset by $193.5 million of cash provided by operations.
Accounts receivable were $199.1 million as of February 28, 2014, compared to $215.4 million at August 31, 2013. As of February 28, 2014, excluding accounts receivable and the related net revenue for Apollo Global, the Company’s days sales outstanding was 19 days, which was consistent with the days outstanding as of February 28, 2013.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release and the related conference call contain non-GAAP financial measures, which are intended to supplement, but not substitute for, the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Management uses, and chooses to disclose to investors, these non-GAAP financial measures because: (i) such measures provide an additional analytical tool to clarify the Company’s results from operations and help to identify underlying trends in its results of operations; (ii) as to the non-GAAP earnings measures, such measures help compare the Company’s performance on a consistent basis across time periods; and (iii) these non-GAAP measures are employed by the Company’s management in its own evaluation of performance and are utilized in financial and operational decision-making processes, such as budgeting and forecasting. Exclusion of items in the non-GAAP presentation should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. Other companies, including other companies in the education industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure across companies.
