The preliminary estimates for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021 and outlook for fiscal 2022 set forth herein are not yet complete and are based on information available to our management team as of the date hereof. We have prepared the preliminary estimates disclosed in good faith based upon our internal reporting. These estimates are preliminary and unaudited, inherently uncertain, and subject to change as we complete our financial statements as of and for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. These preliminary estimates are not guarantees of actual performance, and are not guarantees of, or indicative of, future performance. Given the timing of these preliminary estimates, we have not completed our customary financial closing and review procedures, including full income tax calculations and management’s review of the results. We may identify other items that require material adjustments to these preliminary estimates as we finalize our financial statement close procedures for the quarter. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Final results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, and the final 2022 outlook could differ materially from these preliminary estimates. You should exercise caution in relying on these preliminary estimates and should not place undue reliance on this information or draw any inferences from this information regarding financial or operating data not yet provided or available. These preliminary results are subject to the final review by our audit committee and review by our independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, our independent registered public accounting firm does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from these preliminary estimates are set forth below under “Forward- Looking Statements.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes statements that express Laureate’s opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, ”forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. Laureate’s actual results may vary significantly from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as ”believes,” ”expects,” ”may,” ”will,” ”should,” ”seeks,” ”approximately,” ”intends,” ”plans,” ”estimates” or ”anticipates” or similar expressions that concern our strategy, plans or intentions. All statements we make relating to (i) guidance (including, but not limited to, total enrollments, revenues, and Adjusted EBITDA), (ii) our current growth strategy and other future plans, strategies or transactions that may be identified, explored or implemented and any litigation or dispute resulting from any completed transaction, (iii) any anticipated share repurchases or cash distributions and (iv) the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business or the global economy as a whole are forward-looking statements. In addition, we, through our senior management, from time to time make forward-looking public statements concerning our expected future operations and performance and other developments. All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time, including with respect to our current growth strategy and the impact of any completed divestiture. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from those we expected. We derive most of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based upon many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and, of course, it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed and to be filed with the SEC and other filings made with the SEC. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the time of this release and we do not undertake to publicly update or revise them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP in this press release, Laureate provides the non-GAAP measurement of Adjusted EBITDA. We have included this non-GAAP measurement because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our annual budget and to develop short- and long-term operational plans.

Adjusted EBITDA consists of income (loss) from continuing operations, adjusted for certain items. The exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our core business. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is a key input into the formula used by the compensation committee of our board of directors and our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the payment of incentive compensation to our executive officers and other members of our management team. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.

We have not included a GAAP reconciliation of our Adjusted EBITDA amounts for the quarter or the year ended December 31, 2021, because we have not yet completed our financial closing procedures for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021, and such reconciliation could not be produced without unreasonable effort.

Your ex’s student loans could still be yours after a divorce : NPR

Angela Powell, a business analyst in Texas, has been trying to untangle a joint consolidation loan from her ex-husband since their divorce in 2014. Powell’s ex-husband stopped regularly paying on the loan years ago.

Angela Powell met her “prince” during her freshman year of college. She had dreams of a happy marriage, a successful career and a couple of great kids. After graduation, she got married and started on the other two, attending business school while her husband got his law degree, before the two settled down to start a family in Arizona.

Around that time, they decided to consolidate their loans under a new Department of Education program for married couples. The perks were high — a lower interest rate for their debt and only one payment to worry about per month.

“I didn’t think it was a big deal because we’re going to pay all this off. We’re going to be married forever, right?” Powell said. “Fast-forward to the housing market crisis in 2009/2010. Not a happy marriage anymore. Everybody loses their jobs.”

After the divorce, Powell’s relationship with her ex soured. Documents reviewed by NPR show he has not made regular payments to the loan since 2016. That’s despite the fact he’d originally taken out almost double her debt. Through consolidation, they are now on the hook together for nearly $200,000 — more than five times the amount of Powell’s initial loan.

“I’m stuck with having this thing on my back,” says Powell, “and knowing that at the end of the day, if he chooses not to pay, guess what? My monthly payment is $1,942.50.”

More than 14,000 borrowers participated in the short-lived program, which Congress shuttered in 2006. It seemed like a simple concept: Joint consolidation loans allowed for couples to have one single monthly payment with a lower interest rate. The problem came when trying to separate loans in the case of divorce or domestic violence. The program has no way to disentangle the debts.

“It seems pretty straightforward. If you can put something together, you can take it apart,” says Patrick Stebly. He has been in this situation since his divorce in 2013 and has spent the last five years trying to change it for everyone else.

Stebly’s advocacy has inspired legislation to remedy this problem. Introduced by Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., and Rep. David E. Price, D-N.C., the bill would allow, in cases of divorce or domestic violence, for joint loans to be split proportionately based on the original loan amounts. Nearly half a dozen families in this situation told NPR this is the fix they need.

Warner first introduced the bill in 2017 after a constituent reached out about paying her abusive ex-husband’s student loans. She had moved from Florida to Virginia to get away from him.

“While she physically got away, she couldn’t get away from this mutual debt … from an abusive husband. That’s just wrong,” said Warner.

Heavy Student Loan Debt Forces Many Millennials To Delay Buying Homes

Once the bill was introduced, people from across the U.S. contacted the senator’s office asking for relief from the consolidation program.

There is no data on how many of the initial borrowers have since separated, but national and state domestic violence relief organizations say economic sabotage— like tanking a spouse’s credit — is one of the top tactics used in abusive relationships.

“It’s so powerful that many survivors cite their ability to provide financially for themselves and their children as one of the top reasons that they stay in an abusive relationship,” says Monica McLaughlin of the National Network to End Domestic Violence.

NPR spoke to borrowers who had experienced physical and mental abuse from former partners who now refuse to pay their student loans; they say Warner’s legislation would set them free.

“There are so many barriers that survivors face,” said McLaughlin. “Let’s knock this one down and look to the next one.”

Stebly and his ex-wife count themselves among the lucky ones. They have an amicable relationship, so after they separated, they put together a court agreement to repay their loans: His ex-wife pays her portion of the loan to him, and then he pays the loan provider. It’s a workaround, but it has some drawbacks. His ex-wife should be eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness, but she cannot claim it to erase her debt because their loans are consolidated.

Officials have told Stebly over and over again: It would only take less than 1,000 words to fix this problem and separate their loans — but those words have to be approved by Congress.

“I’ve been banging out a thousand-word emails trying to talk about this thing, you know, daily for a while, trying to get somebody excited about this,” Stebly said. “To me, it seems very straightforward.”

Holly Rodriguez agrees. She’s a single mother of two in Richmond, Va., and is reckoning with her decisions from two decades ago. She’s getting a divorce, she’s in default on her student loans — and the two issues are more related than it may seem.

Rodriguez’s loan now amounts to almost $72,000. The jump comes from consolidating with her husband’s loan, interest and about 10 years of tenuous finances.

“We did pay initially,” Rodriguez said. “And then my husband, soon after my daughter was born, lost his job. That put our finances in a very hard place.”

Rodriguez works in fundraising and communications for nonprofits; her ex-husband works in the restaurant industry as a line cook and a dishwasher. Both went through periods of unemployment and faced medical setbacks over the course of their marriage.

Finances were “a very contentious element of our marriage when we were together,” she says, and their separation wasn’t amicable. In 2018, she filed for, and was granted, a protective order for her and her children. It was later dismissed.

Given all that, getting her ex to pay up on student loans wasn’t a top priority — but the collection agency kept calling. So Rodriguez contacted her loan servicer to let it know about her situation. She provided her husband’s contact information and proved he was employed, but it did not matter.

The loan was in her name, and the loan servicer said if she wanted him to pay, she would have to work it out with him.

Rodriguez says her husband stopped regular payments on their student loans years ago. After repeated requests from NPR, he did not respond for comment.

“I was told, ‘Yes, he co-signed with you, but you signed the paperwork first, so we pursued you first,’ ” Rodriguez said.

Afraid any missed payments would directly impact Rodriguez’s credit score, she took on the entirety of the debt.

“The thing is, I don’t mind paying my student loans back, but I do have a problem with having to pay for my loans and his loans,” Rodriguez said. “I’ve been paying debt that isn’t mine, and that’s not OK. There’s nothing that makes sense about that.”

For two years, joint consolidation borrowers could benefit from the pause on federal student loan payments, but that will change in just a few months: Payments start back up on May 1. President Biden has made his aversion to widespread debt forgiveness clear.

Advocates and lawmakers acknowledge that a legislative fix should be an easy fix to make. “Even when things are totally logical and rational, stuff takes longer than it should in Congress,” Warner says.

Getting the legislation through the gears of Congress — the same Congress that failed to pass Biden’s social spending package and recent voting rights legislation — may prove challenging.

Congress moves to ban stock trading by members as Pelosi backs efforts

US Speaker of the Home Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, speaks in the course of her weekly press meeting on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, February 9, 2022.

WASHINGTON — Residence Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leaders have greenlighted a program to craft legislation that would prohibit members of Congress from trading stock, soon after months of resistance to a ban by Pelosi, CNBC verified Wednesday.

At Pelosi’s direction, the Dwelling Administration Committee is functioning on drafting the procedures, and the laws is expected to be put up for a vote this 12 months, possible before the November midterm elections.

In the Senate, various versions of a stock buying and selling ban are beneath thought, including one co-authored by progressive Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Montana Republican Sen. Steve Daines.

“When you happen to be elected, you’re here to provide the people, not the elite, and [a stock trading ban] I believe is a action ahead, an essential stage forward, to restore the faith and have faith in of the American men and women in this establishment,” Daines advised CNBC on Wednesday.

A lot of questions continue to be about what forms of investments would be prohibited, what incoming customers would be essential to do to comply with a new law, and whether family associates of lawmakers would also be banned from trading shares.

Nonetheless, Pelosi’s guidance for a stock trading ban in the Dwelling, initially described by Punchbowl News, signifies an about-facial area for the speaker, and will come right after a long time of congressional leaders on both equally sides of the aisle rejecting the idea of limiting what investments users of Congress can hold.

In the earlier, opponents of a ban on inventory trading in Congress have claimed it would hamper attempts to recruit the greatest candidates to run for business office. In the meantime, quite a few of their own people have developed rich by investing in the inventory sector, including Pelosi’s.

Nonetheless in new months, Pelosi and her leading lieutenants have appear below growing pressure from rank-and-file associates to consider motion and move a inventory trading ban.

These more and more noisy phone calls for a ban have been spurred in part by escalating general public guidance for a prohibition on lawmakers investing stocks.

A current study commissioned by a conservative advocacy group found that 76{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} of voters believed that lawmakers and their spouses experienced an “unfair edge” in the inventory industry. The exact survey, done by the Conference of States Motion, also identified that just 5{ac23b82de22bd478cde2a3afa9e55fd5f696f5668b46466ac4c8be2ee1b69550} of probably voters accepted of customers of Congress trading stocks.

They also reflect the affect of new revelations about how widespread violations are of the latest law, the 2012 Stock Act, which was created to protect against insider trading and conflicts of interest in Congress.

Very last calendar year by yourself, 54 customers violated the Inventory Act rules, according to an evaluation by Business enterprise Insider posted earlier this year.

An unfair edge

The issue at the coronary heart of the stock trading challenge is whether or not users of Congress have an unfair benefit in the inventory sector mainly because they are privy to info on a each day foundation that is not out there to the general public.

Examples of this sort of information include labeled briefings about countrywide protection challenges, progress awareness of regulatory actions, and nonpublic information about laws, appropriations and tax coverage. Any a person of these could make a conflict of fascination for a lawmaker who owned and traded shares in a organization that would be impacted by this information and facts.

“The intent listed here is to make certain that customers and their spouses are not trading or keeping particular person shares and bonds and so forth,” Daines claimed Wednesday. “Listen, you put your belongings in a blind have confidence in, you’re continue to aware of what belongings have been set in that blind rely on. That’s just the actuality of it, and we are seeking to decrease the conflicts of fascination listed here.”

But as inventory trading legislation requires shape in both of those the House and Senate, customers will need to obtain compromise between a wide vary of proposals.

Facts open up to debate

Various of the bills proposed so much would demand incoming customers of Congress to place their stock portfolios in a common blind trust, exactly where it would be managed by an impartial trustee who could get and provide the stocks without the need of the member’s information.

But the bill that Daines and Warren system to introduce goes significantly even further, and prohibits members from even proudly owning shares. That indicates recently elected members of Congress would be essential to in fact offer their inventory holdings, no matter of no matter whether or not this sort of a sale would be fiscally advantageous.

Other inventory investing ban proposal expenses differ on key challenges like regardless of whether they would use to members’ spouses and youngsters, and what sorts of investments would be permitted.

But one more problem up for discussion is how violations of any inventory investing ban would be managed. Penalties could assortment from somewhat delicate types like a prepared warning to critical punishments, these kinds of as significant fines or a reduction of committee assignments.

There is also most likely to be resistance from customers who come to feel that a inventory buying and selling ban denies them a right to take part in cost-free marketplaces, and proficiently punishes them for their decision to enter general public services.

This was the sentiment behind Pelosi’s now infamous reaction last December to a reporter’s dilemma about irrespective of whether she would help a stock investing ban for users of Congress.

“We are a totally free market place economic climate. They ought to be capable to participate in that,” she replied.

But that response swiftly backfired, specifically provided that Pelosi’s partner, Paul Pelosi, is a undertaking cash investor who holds tens of thousands and thousands of dollars value of stock. Speaker Pelosi has lengthy insisted that she does not personal any shares herself.
