$ASPUPress releaseOct 15, 2026, 8:00 AM ETRead the release

Aspen Group delivered fiscal Q1 2027 net income of $0.7 million, up from $0.4 million a year earlier, with a record first-quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $2.3 million, up 21% year-over-year. Consolidated revenue held steady at $10.3 million sequentially but declined 10% year-over-year, as United States University revenue grew 3% (nearly 6% sequentially) while Aspen University revenue fell 30% due to halted new enrollments ahead of its pending merger with USU. Gross margin expanded roughly 300 basis points to 76%, and the company generated $0.7 million of operating cash flow — its seventh consecutive positive quarter — enabling resumption of marketing spend.
