Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (UTI) reported its financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2025, revealing a revenue increase of 9.6% to $220.8 million, up from $201.4 million in the same period last year. The growth was driven by a rise in average full-time active students, which increased by 7.2% to 26,858. However, net income fell to $12.8 million, or $0.24 per share, compared to $22.2 million, or $0.41 per share, in the prior year, reflecting a decrease in income from operations due to strategic growth expenses associated with new programs and campuses.
Operating expenses for the quarter rose significantly to $205.2 million, up from $174.0 million a year earlier, primarily due to increased costs in educational services and facilities, which accounted for $110.4 million, and selling, general, and administrative expenses, which reached $94.7 million. The increase in operating expenses was attributed to higher student volumes and costs related to the execution of UTI's growth strategy, including the hiring of additional staff and marketing efforts to support new campus openings.
In terms of operational developments, UTI announced plans for three new campus locations in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Houston and Atlanta for Concorde Career Colleges, all expected to open in 2027 pending regulatory approvals. Additionally, UTI is expanding its Dallas campus to include new programs in aviation, HVACR, and electrical technology, which is anticipated to increase student capacity by nearly 1,000. The company also reported a total of 5,449 new student starts during the quarter, a 2.6% increase from the previous year.
The company’s liquidity position as of December 31, 2025, totaled $233.2 million, comprising cash and cash equivalents of $93.6 million, short-term investments of $69.2 million, and $70.4 million available under its revolving credit facility. UTI's long-term debt stood at $101.7 million, which includes two term loans and a finance lease. The company remains in compliance with all financial covenants associated with its debt.
Looking ahead, UTI continues to focus on its growth strategy, which includes expanding its market presence and diversifying its program offerings. The company is optimistic about its ability to enhance operational efficiency and capitalize on new opportunities, although it acknowledges the potential risks associated with regulatory compliance and market conditions.
