Reflecting the higher level of sustainable enrollment and our confidence in our ability to continue to deliver strong top- and bottom-line performance, we are raising our fiscal year 2024 guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Adtalem's ongoing operations as seen through the eyes of management and are useful for period-over-period comparisons. We use these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally in our assessment of performance and budgeting process. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The following are non-GAAP financial measures used in the subsequent GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation tables:
Adjusted net income (most comparable GAAP measure: net income) - Measure of Adtalem's net income adjusted for restructuring expense, business integration expense, intangible amortization expense, write-off of debt discount and issuance costs, gain on extinguishment of debt, litigation reserve, investment impairment, loss on assets held for sale, and (income) loss from discontinued operations.
Adjusted earnings per share (most comparable GAAP measure: diluted earnings per share) - Measure of Adtalem's diluted earnings per share adjusted for restructuring expense, business integration expense, intangible amortization expense, write-off of debt discount and issuance costs, gain on extinguishment of debt, litigation reserve, investment impairment, loss on assets held for sale, and (income) loss from discontinued operations.
Adjusted operating income (most comparable GAAP measure: operating income) - Measure of Adtalem's operating income adjusted for restructuring expense, business integration expense, intangible amortization expense, litigation reserve, and loss on assets held for sale. This measure is applied on a consolidated and segment basis, depending on the context of the discussion.
Adjusted EBITDA (most comparable GAAP measure: net income) - Measure of Adtalem's net income adjusted for (income) loss from discontinued operations, interest expense, other expense (income), net, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, restructuring expense, business integration expense, litigation reserve, and loss on assets held for sale. This measure is applied on a consolidated and segment basis, depending on the context of the discussion. Provision for income taxes, interest expense, and other expense (income), net is not recorded at the reportable segments, and therefore, the segment adjusted EBITDA reconciliations begin with operating income.
Free cash flow (most comparable GAAP measure: net cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations) - Defined as net cash provided by operating activities-continuing operations less capital expenditures.
Net debt - Defined as long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents.
Net leverage - Defined as net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA.
A description of special items in our non-GAAP financial measures described above are as follows:
- Restructuring expense primarily related to real estate consolidations at Walden, Medical and Veterinary, and Adtalem's home office. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our restructuring expense.
- Business integration expense include expenses related to the Walden acquisition and certain costs related to growth transformation initiatives. We do not include normal, recurring, cash operating expenses in our business integration expense.
- Intangible amortization expense on acquired intangible assets.
- Write-off of debt discount and issuance costs and gain on extinguishment of debt related to prepayments of debt, reserves related to significant litigation, impairment of an equity investment, and loss on assets held for sale related to a fair value write-down on assets.
- (Income) loss from discontinued operations includes expense from ongoing litigation costs and settlements related to the DeVry University and Carrington College divestitures, a (gain) loss on sale of ACAMS, Becker, and OCL for working capital adjustments to the initial sales prices, and the earn-outs we received.
