Legacy Education FY2026 sales rise 25% to $80.1M
New student starts and the year-end student population both increased, alongside expanded academic offerings and added campus capacity.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Legacy Education Inc. (LGCY) reported fiscal 2026 revenue of $80,056,194 for the year ended June 30, 2026, with the release citing 25% growth from $64,168,025 in fiscal 2025. Net income was $9,139,483, compared with $7,534,232. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, was $13,625,495 versus $10,980,844. The company defines EBITDA as net income before other expense (income), net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization; adjusted EBITDA also excludes non-cash stock-based compensation.
For the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue was $20,101,822 compared with $17,950,235, and net income was $1,880,526 versus $1,226,967. Diluted net income per share was $0.13 for the quarter and $0.66 for the fiscal year, compared with $0.09 and $0.59, respectively, in the corresponding 2025 periods.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

YEAR END FINANCIAL RESULTS
Year ended June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025
| ● | Revenue was $80.1 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $64.2 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of $15.9 million, or 24.8%, driven by new student starts of 3,483. This resulted in a 9% increase in student enrollment to 3,377. The increase was also impacted by the timing of the CCMCC acquisition in December 2024 in which a full year of revenue was reported in the current year while only half in the prior year. |
| ● | Educational services were $42.9 million in fiscal 2026 compared to $34.2 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of $8.7 million, or 25.3%. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased instructional and staffing required to support the increase in enrollments as well as increased rent and books, supplies, externship fees and an increase in non-cash compensation charge of approximately $0.6 million. As a percentage of revenue, educational services expense increased slightly from 53.4% to 53.6%, reflecting the same cost factors described above. |
| ● | General and administrative expense was $24.2 million in fiscal 2026, compared to $19.1 million in fiscal 2025, an increase of $5.1 million, or 26.7%. General and administrative expense increased primarily due to higher marketing expense, professional fees, and increased bad debt expense associated with higher student enrollment, growth in accounts receivable balances, and the Company’s periodic reassessment of expected credit losses and write-offs associated with inactive student accounts. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense increased from 29.8% to 30.2% primarily due to increases in offices supplies and other general and administrative expenses offset by reductions in marketing and bad debt as a percentage of revenue. Of the total general and administrative expense, $5.9 million and $4.7 million relate to marketing expenses for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. Bad debt expense was approximately $4.0 million, or 5% of revenue in fiscal 2026 compared to approximately $3.4 million, or 5.3% of revenue in fiscal 2025. |

Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement Legacy Education’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), Legacy Education furnishes certain adjusted non-GAAP supplemental information to its financial results regarding EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is net income. EBITDA is calculated as net income before other expense (income), net, provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA further adjusted to exclude non-cash stock-based compensation. We use such adjusted non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management team believes that by excluding the effects of such adjusted GAAP-related items that, in their opinion, do not reflect the ordinary earnings of our operations, it enhances investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future by (i) providing a more comparable measure of our continuing business, as well as greater understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business, (ii) affording a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to our peer companies, and (iii) enabling investors to consider our operating results on both a GAAP and adjusted non-GAAP basis (including following the integration period of our acquisitions). However, this adjusted non-GAAP information is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP and should be considered in conjunction with our GAAP results as the items excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP information may have a material impact on Legacy’s financial results. A reconciliation of adjusted non-GAAP adjustments to Legacy’s GAAP financial results is included in the tables at the end of this press release.
In the noted fiscal periods, we adjusted net income for the items identified from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our adjusted non-GAAP financial measures:
Stock-based compensation - We exclude stock-based compensation to be consistent with the way management and, in our view, the overall financial community, evaluates our performance and the methods used by analysts to calculate consensus estimates. The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. As such, we do not include these charges in operating plans.
