UNIVERSAL TECHNICAL INSTITUTE INC Q2 FY26 Results

Our performance throughout the first half of the year continued to meet and exceed expectations, driven by sustained demand across both divisions and progress on our North Star initiatives, further reinforcing our confidence in the trajectory of the business. Our new campus launches are providing further validation that our growth model is both repeatable and scalable. UTI San Antonio outperformed our initial start expectations while UTI Atlanta is on track with enrollments ahead of the July opening. Combined with continued strength across our existing campus network, these early indicators give us increasing confidence as we move deeper into full implementation of North Star. In conjunction, the opportunity in front of us is expanding as the world enters a generational shift in the labor market. Advancements in artificial intelligence are accelerating demand for the skilled workforce required to build, maintain, and operate the infrastructure behind this new economy. From data centers and energy systems to advanced manufacturing and healthcare delivery, we are well positioned at the center of these evolving needs. We are not only training students for today’s jobs but also preparing them for the AI-enabled workforce of the future. As we continue capitalizing on this demand, we believe the actions we are taking in fiscal 2026 will not only support near term growth but will also create incremental enrollment and earnings upside in fiscal 2027 and beyond.”

With a strong second quarter, we delivered a robust first half of fiscal 2026, supported by continued enrollment momentum, healthy growth in average full-time active students, double-digit growth in new student starts, and solid revenue expansion across both divisions. These results reflect sustained demand across the business, the success of recently launched campuses and programs as well as disciplined execution against the North Star strategy. Based on our performance through the first six months of the year and the visibility we have into the remainder of fiscal 2026, we are reaffirming our full-year guidance across all metrics. With our strategic growth investments progressing on schedule, we remain confident in our ability to deliver against our North Star objectives while also supporting faster scaling, improved utilization, and stronger long-term returns including predictable and sustainable cash flows and increasing profits for years to come.”
