Learning Tree International Announces Second Quarter FY 2013 Results
RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Learning Tree International (NAS: LTRE) announced today its revenues and results of operations for its second quarter of fiscal year 2013, which ended March 29, 2013.
In its second quarter of fiscal year 2013, Learning Tree reported revenues of $26.9 million, loss from operations of $3.8 million, and net loss of $4.0 million or $0.30 per share. These results compare with revenues of $28.9 million, loss from operations of $3.5 million and net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.16 per share in its second quarter of fiscal year 2012.
"The economic conditions that exist in Europe and the effect of federal budget cuts on our US business due to sequestration may continue to adversely impact our financial results in the near future," said Learning Tree President Max Shevitz. "However, over the past year, we have made significant improvements to the quality of the service and products which we provide to our customers. We believe that these improvements have already partially offset the effects of the adverse headwinds we've been facing, and will position us well for the future."
