Management Discussion and Analysis
Revenue
Revenue increased $150.9 million, or 46.6% (44.7% on a constant currency basis), from $323.7 million in fiscal 2013 to $474.6 million in fiscal 2014. The rise was due to increased revenue from our premium schools, partly offset by a decrease in other revenue.
Revenue from our premium schools increased $161.1 million, or 54.5% (51.9% on a constant currency basis), from $295.3 million in fiscal 2013 to $456.4 million in fiscal 2014. This increase was primarily due to increases in FTEs and tuition fees and the impact of the schools we acquired in Bangkok, Guangzhou, North America, Qatar and Spain in fiscal 2013 and Singapore and Cambodia in fiscal 2014. $39.1 million of our premium schools revenue in fiscal 2014 was attributable to the schools we acquired at the end of fiscal 2013 in Bangkok and Guangzhou and the schools we acquired during fiscal 2014 in Singapore and Cambodia. On a pro forma basis, including the schools we acquired as part of the acquisition of WCL Group in North America, Qatar and Spain in fiscal 2013, our premium schools revenue would have increased by 19.3% (17.9% on a constant currency basis) from $382.7 million in fiscal 2013 to $456.4 million in fiscal 2014.
Other revenue decreased $10.2 million, or 36.0%, from $28.4 million in fiscal 2013 to $18.2 million in fiscal 2014. This decrease was due to the completion of learning services contracts in Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia and reduced revenues from our remaining UK contracts.
Loss for the Year
As a result of the foregoing, our loss for the year increased from $23.3 million in fiscal 2013 to $90.4 million in fiscal 2014.
Adjusted Net Income
Adjusted net income increased by $25.0 million from a loss of $1.4 million in fiscal 2013 to a profit of $23.6 million in fiscal 2014.
