NEW YORK, Aug. 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 桃汁影院, Inc. (鈥淎GI鈥�) (Nasdaq: ASPU), an education technology holding company, today announced a company record 1,929 new student enrollments for the fiscal 2020 first quarter, a 24% sequential enrollment increase and an increase of 46% year-over-year. Moreover, this quarterly enrollment record was accomplished in the seasonally weakest (summer) fiscal first quarter ending July 31, 2019.

Aspen University accounted for 1,415 new student enrollments (includes 198 Doctoral enrollments and 276 Pre-licensure BSN AZ campus enrollments), delivering overall enrollment growth at Aspen University of 29% year-over-year. Enrollment growth at Aspen University was highlighted by the Doctoral unit increasing by 68% and the Pre-Licensure BSN unit increasing by 197% year-over-year. Enrollment efforts remained focused on the highest expected return businesses as management increased the number of enrollment advisors dedicated to Aspen鈥檚 Doctoral and Pre-Licensure units during the quarter. In addition, our Aspen Nursing + Other Unit experienced an increase in the number of enrollments per EA and cost per enrollment declined. As a result of this increased efficiency, Aspen鈥檚 Nursing + Other unit grew enrollments by 7% year-over-year.

United States University (鈥淯SU鈥�) accounted for 514 new student enrollments (primarily Family Nurse Practitioner (鈥淔NP鈥�) enrollments), a 133% enrollment increase year-over-year.

Below is a table reflecting unconditional acceptance new student enrollments for the past five quarters:

The current Marketing Efficiency Ratio (MER = revenue-per-enrollment or LTV/cost-per-enrollment or CAC) for our four degree units is reflected in the below table:

The improved MER results were driven by declining cost of enrollment.听 Compared to the previous quarter the weighted average cost of enrollment declined 18%, and the cost of enrollment declined for each program except the Pre-Licensure BSN program which remained at a cost of enrollment below $500.

On a year-over-year basis, fiscal 蚕1鈥�20 bookings increased 83%, from $14.7 million to $26.9 million, delivering an average revenue per enrollment (APRU) increase of 24%, from $11,185 to $13,919.

Aspen University鈥檚 total active degree-seeking student body grew 25% year-over-year from 6,590 to 8,261. Aspen鈥檚 School of Nursing grew 36% year-over-year, from 4,863 to 6,595 active students, which includes 670 active students in the BSN Pre-Licensure program in Phoenix, AZ.

USU students paying tuition and fees through a monthly payment method grew from 758 to 1,053 students sequentially. Those 1,053 students paying through a monthly payment method represent 71% of USU鈥檚 total active student body.

鈥淲e are pleased with the record enrollment results across our three newest units, especially since we were able to achieve this in what is typically the weakest seasonal (summer) quarter. The increased efficiency in our marketing spending and enrollment advisor productivity also highlight the competitive strength and ongoing growth opportunities in each of these programs,鈥� said Chairman & CEO, Michael Mathews.
