Universal Technical Institute, Inc., which together with its subsidiaries is referred to as the “Company”, “we,” “us” or “our,” was founded in 1965 and is a leading workforce solutions provider of transportation, skilled trades and healthcare education programs, whose mission is to serve students, partners, and communities by providing quality education and support services for in-demand careers across a number of highly-skilled fields. We offer the majority of our programs in a blended learning model that combines instructor-facilitated online teaching and demonstrations with hands-on labs. As a result of the Concorde Career Colleges, Inc. acquisition on December 1, 2022 (the “Concorde Acquisition”), beginning with this reporting period we have two reportable segments as follows:
Universal Technical Institute (“UTI”): UTI operates 16 campuses located in nine states and offers a wide range of degree and non-degree transportation and skilled trades technical training programs under brands such as Universal Technical Institute, Motorcycle Mechanics Institute, Marine Mechanics Institute, NASCAR Technical Institute, and MIAT College of Technology (“MIAT”). UTI also offers manufacturer specific advanced training programs, which include student-paid electives, at our campuses and manufacturer or dealer sponsored training at certain campuses and dedicated training centers. Lastly, UTI provides dealer technician training or instructor staffing services to manufacturers. UTI works closely with over 35 original equipment manufacturers and industry brand partners to understand their needs for qualified service professionals.

Concorde Career Colleges (“Concorde”): Concorde operates across 17 campuses in eight states, offering degree, non-degree, and continuing education programs in the allied health, dental, nursing, patient care and diagnostic fields. Concorde believes in preparing students for their health care careers with practical, hands-on experiences including opportunities to learn while providing care to real patients. Prior to graduation, students will complete a number of hours in a clinical setting or externship, depending upon their program of study. We acquired Concorde on December 1, 2022. See Note 4 on “Acquisitions” for additional information.

“Corporate” includes corporate related expenses that are not allocated to the UTI or Concorde reportable segments. These costs were previously allocated across our former “Postsecondary Education” reportable segment and “Other” category based upon compensation expense. Additional information about our reportable segments is presented in Note 19.

Our primary source of revenues is currently tuition and fees paid by students. To pay for a substantial portion of their tuition, the majority of students rely on funds received from federal financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (“HEA”), as well as other federal programs. For further discussion, see Note 2 on “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Concentration of Risk” and Note 24 on “Government Regulation and Financial Aid” included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 12, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
