Career Education Corporation (NASDAQ: CECO) today reported total revenue of $405.6 million and a net loss of ($0.1) million, or $0.00 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2008 compared to total revenue of $427.2 million and net income of $15.6 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, during the third quarter of 2007.

Included in the results for the third quarter of 2008 are the following significant items:

  • $15.7 million pre-tax, or ($0.12) per share in charges, related to the company’s ongoing effort to optimize its real estate footprint, representing $10.9 million pre-tax, or ($0.08) per share of cash lease exit expenses and $4.8 million pretax, or ($0.04) per share in noncash asset impairment charges,

  • $3.2 million, or $0.04 per share, in tax benefit related to the sale of a foreign subsidiary.

"I am encouraged that despite external challenges, our financial results remain in line with our expectations,” said Gary E. McCullough, president and chief executive officer. "Our Health Education and International segments maintained their strong performance in the third quarter and continue to execute well. Additionally, online starts within the University segment grew over nine percent in the quarter. Through the first nine months of the year, the Culinary Arts segment has taken the necessary steps to adjust its operations and student financing capabilities to the new lending environment. These actions provide a blueprint for the Art & Design segment as it seeks to address similar challenges. While we still have work to do, we continue to make solid progress in positioning the company for the long-term.”
