Legacy Education Alliance, Inc. Announces Fiscal First Quarter 2019 Results


Legacy Education Alliance, Inc. (OTCQB: LEAI) (www.legacyeducationalliance.com), a leading international provider of practical, high-quality, and value-based educational training on the topics of personal finance, entrepreneurship, real estate, and financial markets investing strategies and techniques, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019.

First Quarter 2019 Overview

"We are pleased that the actions we undertook in 2018 to reduce costs and improve liquidity are having a positive effect on our financial performance, as evidenced by our increased cash sales and reduced operating expenses compared to the same period in 2018," said James May, Interim Chief Executive Officer. "We are working to build on the momentum begun in this quarter where we experienced a sequential revenue increase of 24% over the $19.9 million in Q4 2018 and a significant improvement in operating cash flows both from the end of 2018 and in Q1 2019 over Q1 2018."

FIRST QUARTER 2019 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 2018 RESULTS

Revenue was $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $25.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Revenue decreased $1.2 million or 4.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease in revenue was due to decreased fulfillment of $3.1 million or 14.3%, partially offset by an increase in revenue from expired contracts of $1.9 million or 45.8%.

Total operating costs and expenses were $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $26.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease of $1.6 million or 6.1%. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.5 million decrease in direct course expenses, a $0.2 million decrease in advertising and sales expenses, a $0.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in royalty expenses.

Net loss was $0.1 million or ($0.00) per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to a net loss of $0.9 million or ($0.04) per basic and diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2018, a decrease in net loss of $0.8 million or $0.4 per basic and diluted common share.

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, representing a period-over-period increase of $2.1 million or 145%. This increase was primarily the result of increased earnings, and an increase in current liabilities for deferred revenue, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable.

Our consolidated capital structure as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2017 was 100.0% equity.
