PHOENIX, Aug. 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (NASDAQ: LOPE), a comprehensive regionally accredited university that offers over 220 graduate and undergraduate degree programs and certificates across nine colleges both online and on ground at its over 270 acre campus in Phoenix, Arizona, today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
For the three months ended June 30, 2017:
-- Net revenue increased 14.1% to $218.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $191.3 million for the second quarter of 2016. -- End-of-period enrollment increased 10.5% to 74,485 at June 30, 2017, from 67,424 at June 30, 2016, as ground enrollment increased 10.8% to 6,015 at June 30, 2017, from 5,430 at June 30, 2016 and online enrollment increased 10.4% to 68,470 at June 30, 2017, from 61,994 at June 30, 2016. Ground enrollment at June 30, 2017 includes traditional-aged students that are taking Summer school classes which is a small percentage of our traditional-aged student body. As of March 31, 2017 ground enrollment had increased 12.0% over the prior year. The Spring semester ends near the end of April each year. -- Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $55.1 million, an increase of 23.1% as compared to $44.7 million for the same period in 2016. The operating margin for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 25.2%, compared to 23.4% for the same period in 2016. The majority of our traditional ground students do not attend courses during the summer months (May through August), which affects our results for our second and third fiscal quarters. Since a significant amount of our campus costs are fixed, the lower revenue resulting from the decreased ground student enrollment has historically contributed to lower operating margins during those periods. We expect quarterly fluctuations in operating results to continue as a result of these seasonal patterns. -- The tax rate in the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 28.0% compared to 38.4% in the same period in 2016. The lower effective tax rate year over year is due to our adoption of the share-based compensation standard, which resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation awards that vested or settled in 2017 in the consolidated income statement. The inclusion of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as a component of our income tax expense will increase volatility within our provision for income taxes as the amount of excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation awards are dependent on our stock price at the date the restricted awards vest, our stock price on the date an option is exercised, and the quantity of options exercised. The tax rate would have been 37.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, excluding the impact of the recognition of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation awards that vested or settled in 2017. -- Net income increased 44.2% to $39.8 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $27.6 million for the same period in 2016. -- Diluted net income per share was $0.83 for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $0.59 for the same period in 2016. -- Adjusted EBITDA increased 23.3% to $72.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $58.4 million for the same period in 2016.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017:
-- Net revenue increased 11.5% to $466.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $418.2 million for the same period in 2016. -- Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $131.7 million, an increase of 16.1% as compared to $113.4 million for the same period in 2016. The operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 28.2%, compared to 27.1% for the same period in 2016. Operating income and the operating margin for the six months ended June 30, 2016, excluding legal and other professional fees incurred related to the proposed conversion back to a not for profit status, was $114.6 million and 27.4%, respectively. -- The University recognized $1.8 million in interest and other income during the six months ended June 30, 2016 on its proportional share of equity interest income related to our ownership interest in LoudCloud. -- The tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 27.1% compared to 38.2% in the same period in 2016. The lower effective tax rate year over year is due to our adoption of the share-based compensation standard, which resulted in the recognition of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation awards that vested or settled in 2017 in the consolidated income statement. The inclusion of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as a component of our income tax expense will increase volatility within our provision for income taxes as the amount of excess tax benefits or deficiencies from share-based compensation awards are dependent on our stock price at the date the restricted awards vest, our stock price on the date an option is exercised, and the quantity of options exercised. Our restricted stock vests in March each year so the favorable benefit is greatest in the first quarter each year. The tax rate would have been 37.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, excluding the impact of the recognition of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation awards that vested or settled in 2017. -- Net income increased 34.3% to $95.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $71.3 million for the same period in 2016. -- Diluted net income per share was $1.99 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $1.52 for the same period in 2016. -- Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.4% to $165.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $141.7 million for the same period in 2016.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The University financed its operating activities and capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 primarily through cash provided by operating activities. Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and investments were $155.7 million and $108.6 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Our restricted cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $79.4 million and $84.9 million, respectively. In December 2012, we entered into a new credit agreement, which increased our term loan to $100 million with a maturity date of December 2019. Additionally, this facility, as amended in January 2016, provides a revolving line of credit in the amount of $150 million through December 2017 to be utilized for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. Indebtedness under the credit facility is secured by our assets and is guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. No amounts were drawn on the revolver as of June 30, 2017.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $133.7 million as compared to $112.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in cash generated from operating activities between the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily due to increased net income and non-cash charges such as depreciation expense as well as changes in other working capital such as accrued liabilities and deferred revenue.
Net cash used in investing activities was $86.7 million and $104.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our cash used in investing activities was primarily related to the purchase of short-term investments and capital expenditures. Purchases of short-term investments net of proceeds of these investments was $26.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Proceeds from investment, net of purchases of short term investments was $33.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Capital expenditures were $50.5 million and $115.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the six-month period for 2017, capital expenditures primarily consisted of ground campus building projects such as the construction of an additional dormitory to support our growing traditional student enrollment, land acquisitions adjacent to our campus, and purchases of computer equipment, other internal use software projects and furniture and equipment to support our increasing employee headcount. Included in off-site development for 2017 is $9.4 million we spent to finish the building and parking garage in close proximity to our ground traditional campus. Employees that work in two leased office buildings in the Phoenix area were relocated to this new building by the end of 2016. During the six-month period for 2016, capital expenditures primarily consisted of ground campus building projects that started in late 2015 such as three more apartment style residence halls, a 170,000 square foot classroom building for our College of Science, Engineering and Technology, a student service center, and a fourth parking structure, as well as land purchases adjacent to or near our Phoenix campus, and purchases of computer equipment, other internal use software projects and furniture and equipment to support our increasing employee headcount. Included in off-site development during 2016 is $24.8 million related to the off-site office building and parking garage. In addition, during the first six months of 2016, we received a $1.8 million distribution related to our ownership interest in LoudCloud upon its sale to a third party.
Net cash used in financing activities was $32.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. During the six-month period for 2017, $25.0 million was used to repay the revolving line of credit, $9.7 million was used to purchase common shares withheld in lieu of income taxes resulting from restricted share awards and principal payments on notes payable and capital leases totaled $3.4 million, which amounts were partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $5.9 million. During the six-month period for 2016, net cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds received from the revolving line of credit of $25.0 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $7.0 million, partially offset by $14.6 million was used to purchase treasury stock in accordance with the University's share repurchase program and $4.6 million was used to purchase common shares withheld in lieu of income taxes resulting from restricted share awards while principal payments on notes payable and capital leases totaled $3.8 million and debt issuance costs for the increase in our revolving line of credit totaled $0.2 million.

GRAND CANYON EDUCATION, INC.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, less interest income and other gain (loss) recognized on investments, plus income tax expense, and plus depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as adjusted for (i) the amortization of prepaid royalty payments recorded in conjunction with a settlement of a dispute with our former owner; (ii) contributions to Arizona school tuition organizations in lieu of the payment of state income taxes; (iii) share-based compensation and (iv) one-time, unusual charges or gains, such as litigation and regulatory reserves, impairment charges and asset write-offs, and exit or lease termination costs. We present Adjusted EBITDA because we consider it to be an important supplemental measure of our operating performance. We also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our operating performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA, and our loan agreement requires us to comply with covenants that include performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA. All of the adjustments made in our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA are adjustments to items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. Management considers our core operating performance to be that which can be affected by our managers in any particular period through their management of the resources that affect our underlying revenue and profit generating operations during that period and does not consider the items for which we make adjustments (as listed above) to be reflective of our core performance.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA allows us to compare our current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry because it does not give effect to potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting relative interest expense, including the impact of write-offs of deferred financing costs when companies refinance their indebtedness), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses), the book amortization of intangibles (affecting relative amortization expense), and other items that we do not consider reflective of underlying operating performance. We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties as a measure of performance.
In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, investors should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments described above. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by expenses that are unusual, non-routine, or non-recurring. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool in that, among other things it does not reflect:
-- cash expenditures for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; -- changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital requirements; -- interest expense, or the cash required to replace assets that are being depreciated or amortized; and -- the impact on our reported results of earnings or charges resulting from the items for which we make adjustments to our EBITDA, as described above and set forth in the table below.
In addition, other companies, including other companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting the usefulness of Adjusted EBITDA as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with and reported under GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and only use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure for the periods indicated:
