02 Results

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On October 14, 2025, American Public Education, Inc. (the "Company"), provided an update on third quarter financial results and an update on the estimated impact of the temporary suspension of the U.S. Department of Defense tuition assistance ("TA") program resulting from the ongoing U.S. federal government shutdown. Third Quarter Results As compared to the third quarter 2025 guidance range as previously disclosed on August 6, 2025 in the Company's earnings release, the Company expects its third quarter 2025 results to exceed the top-end of its guidance range for consolidated revenue. The Company also expects to exceed the top end of its previously disclosed guidance range for net course registrations for American Public University System ("APUS").

As such, these expected results may vary from the Company's actual results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, which the Company expects to report in November. The preliminary results have not been audited or reviewed by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. Government Shutdown APUS estimates that, as a result of the government shutdown and temporary suspension of the TA program, approximately 12,700 course registrations were dropped for non-payment on October 11, 2025, for students who intended to use T
