Forward Guidance
In 2023, the company will focus on successfully integrating Concorde into the UTI family.

Despite the revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA margin will be lower in 2023 due to several factors.

- Potential to deliver revenue in excess of $700 million in fiscal 2024.
- Expect accelerating organic revenue growth.
- Expect overall margin expansion.
- Strategic positioning to execute on longer-term targets for growth and diversification.
Challenges Ahead
- Lower new student starts in 2022.
- UTI growth investments including new campus and program ramps along with admissions channel investments.
- Overall inflationary pressures.
