Planned new campuses for fiscal 2027 signal ongoing physical expansion, with execution timing and scale the key aspects to track.

Universal Technical Institute, Inc. disclosed that it has announced the first three of its planned new campus locations for fiscal 2027 via a press release furnished under Item 7.01. This points to a planned increase in its campus footprint, which typically supports a larger training capacity and a broader geographic reach. The disclosure also indicates a multi-year planning horizon, since the referenced campuses relate to fiscal 2027 rather than the current period.

The information is furnished, not filed, which limits its direct use in certain liability contexts under the Exchange Act. However, the fact that the company highlights these planned campuses in a standalone Form 8-K underscores that the expansion plan is operationally meaningful. Because this 8-K does not include financial details, there is no visibility here into expected revenue contribution or investment levels tied to these locations.

From a monitoring standpoint, the concrete reference point is the fiscal 2027 timeframe and the identification of the first three planned locations as of November 18, 2025. Future disclosures may specify additional campuses, the timing of openings, and any associated financial metrics. The pattern and pace of subsequent campus announcements and related updates as fiscal 2027 approaches will be important to watch to understand how this expansion plan progresses.
