17. SEGMENT REPORTING

Our segments are determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280—Segment Reporting and are based on how the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates performance and allocates resources. Perdoceo's CODM as defined under ASC Topic 280 is its President and Chief Executive Officer. Each segment is comprised of an accredited postsecondary education institution that offers a variety of academic programs.

Our three reporting segments are described below.

Colorado Technical University (CTU) is committed to providing industry-relevant higher education to a diverse student population, including non-traditional adult learners seeking career advancement and the military community. CTU utilizes innovative technology and experienced faculty, enabling the pursuit of academic and professional goals for learners. CTU offers academic programs in the career-oriented disciplines of business and management, nursing, healthcare management, computer science, engineering, information systems and technology, project management, cybersecurity and criminal justice. Students pursue their degrees through fully-online programs, local campuses and blended formats, which combine campus-based and online education. As of December 31, 2025, students enrolled at CTU represented approximately 67% of our total enrollments. Approximately 98% of CTU’s students are enrolled in programs offered fully online. Students at CTU's ground-based campuses take both in-person and virtual classes.
The American InterContinental University System (AIUS or AIU System) is committed to providing industry-relevant higher education opportunities for a diverse student population, including non-traditional adult learners and the military community. AIUS places emphasis on the educational, professional and academic growth of each student. AIUS offers academic programs in the career-oriented disciplines of business studies, information technologies, education, behavioral sciences and criminal justice. Students pursue their degrees through fully-online programs, local campuses and blended formats, which combine campus-based and online education. As of December 31, 2025, students enrolled at AIUS represented approximately 24% of our total enrollments. Approximately 97% of AIUS’ students are enrolled in programs offered fully online. Students at AIUS' ground-based campus take both in-person and virtual classes.
University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences (USAHS) is dedicated to offering graduate education opportunities in health sciences to a diverse range of students. USAHS focuses on developing professional healthcare practitioners through innovative and personalized classroom, clinical, and distance education opportunities. USAHS offers graduate degrees in health sciences, primarily in physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy and nursing, along with continuing education programs and prepares professionals to serve and provide quality medical care to communities across the country. Students pursue their degrees through a network of campuses and through its online programs. As of December 31, 2025, students enrolled at USAHS represented approximately 9% of our total enrollments.

 

We evaluate segment performance based on operating results. Specifically, our CODM analyzes segment revenue and operating expenses which are directly attributable to the cost to serve and educate prospective students, when making decisions to allocate resources based on segment performance. Adjustments to reconcile segment results to consolidated results are included under the caption “Corporate and Other,” which primarily includes unallocated corporate activity. Substantially all revenue earned by our reporting segments are generated in the United States of America (“U.S.”) and segment and total assets are substantially held in the

U.S. Additionally, interest, net and other miscellaneous income (expense) are not material by segment and are not reviewed by our CODM by segment.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
