the first six months of FY 2016.
-
Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $2.2 million, compared
to a loss of $4.3 million for the first six months of FY 2016.
-
Diluted net loss attributable to common stockholders per share of
$0.06, compared to a loss of $0.11 for the first six months of FY 2016.
Non-GAAP Financial Highlights for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2016
(Year-to-Date Fiscal 2017) are as follows.

for the first six months of FY 2016.

first six months of FY 2016.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures for these periods is

Liquidity
As of December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$182.1 million, a decrease of $31.9 million compared to the $214.0
million reported at June 30, 2016. This decrease is largely the result
of normal seasonal trends. On a year over year basis, cash and cash
equivalents increased $10.8 million.
On December 27, 2016, K12 executed an agreement to purchase the 40% of
Middlebury Interactive Languages that it did not already own pursuant to
the exercise of a put right by Middlebury College, for $9.1 million.
Comments from Management
“We will continue to invest in innovative curriculum, technology and
programs to transform the educational experience for all students we
serve,” said Stuart Udell, Chief Executive Officer. “With Middlebury
Interactive Languages and its best-of-breed courses now part of K12, we
are even better positioned with deep language literacy expertise to help
schools, districts, and families prepare students for college and
careers. Students can take up to six world languages, including Spanish,
French, and Chinese, in an interactive online environment, and English
Language Learners have access to new digital curriculum designed to help
them close the achievement gap,” Udell added.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the six months ended December 31, 2016 were
$23.9 million, a decrease of $1.9 million from the prior year’s first
six months, and was comprised of:
-
$1.3 million for property and equipment,
-
$13.5 million for capitalized software development, and
-
$9.1 million for capitalized curriculum.

and contingencies include, but are not limited to: reduction of per
pupil funding amounts at the schools we serve; inability to achieve
sufficient levels of new enrollments to sustain or to grow our business
model; failure of the schools we serve to comply with regulations
resulting in a loss of funding, an obligation to repay funds previously

companies; discrepancies in interpretation of legislation by regulatory
agencies that may lead to payment or funding disputes; termination of
our contracts with schools due to a loss of authorizing charter; failure
to enter into new school contracts or renew existing contracts, in part

Exchange Commission. Although the Company believes the expectations
reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable
assumptions, it can give no assurance that the expectations will be

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), we have presented
adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss). These measures are
not measurements recognized under GAAP.
-
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) as adjusted for
interest income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense);
noncontrolling interest; stock-based compensation; and depreciation
and amortization. Interest expense primarily consists of interest
expense for capital leases and on customer receivables.
-
Adjusted operating income (loss) is defined as operating income (loss)
as adjusted for stock-based compensation.
-
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) exclude
stock-based compensation, which consists of expenses for stock
options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units.
This information should be considered as supplemental in nature and
should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related
financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management
believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides
useful information to investors regarding our results of operations
because it is an indicator of performance with the removal of
stock-based compensation which assists both investors and management in
analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business.
We believe adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our
operating performance because it is both widely used to measure a
company's operating performance without regard to items such as
depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting
methods and the book value of assets, and to present a meaningful
measure of corporate performance exclusive of our capital structure and
the method by which assets were acquired.
Our management uses adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss):
-
as an additional measurement of operating performance because it
assists us in comparing our performance on a consistent basis;
-
in presentations to the members of our Board of Directors to enable
our Board to have the same measurement basis of operating performance
as is used by management to compare our current operating results with
corresponding prior periods and with the results of other companies in
our industry; and
-
as consistent with lending covenants on our line of credit.
Other companies may define these non-GAAP measures differently and, as a
result, our use of these non-GAAP measures may not be directly
comparable to adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted operating income (loss) used
by other companies. Although we use these non-GAAP measures as financial
measures to assess the performance of our business, the use of non-GAAP
measures is limited as they include and/or do not include certain items
not included and/or included in the most directly comparable GAAP
measure.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, operating income
or loss, net income or loss, and earnings or loss per share prepared in
accordance with GAAP as a measure of performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not
intended to be a measure of liquidity. You are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these non-GAAP measures.
A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures is provided below.
