DEVRY INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1: INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DeVry Inc. (DeVry) and
its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. These financial statements are unaudited but, in
the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of
DeVry. The June 30, 2010 data presented were derived from audited financial statements.
The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in DeVrys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, and DeVrys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
quarters ended September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010, each as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses
reported during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Marketable Securities and Investments
DeVry owns investments in marketable securities that have been designated as available for
sale in accordance with authoritative guidance. Available for sale securities are carried at fair
value with the unrealized gains and losses reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a
component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
DeVrys marketable securities consist of investments in mutual funds. The following is a
summary of our available-for-sale marketable securities at March 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands):

Investments are classified as short-term if they are readily convertible to cash or have other
characteristics of short-term investments such as highly liquid markets or maturities within one
year. All mutual fund investments are recorded at fair market value based upon quoted market
prices. At March 31, 2011, all of the Bond and Stock mutual fund investments are held in a rabbi
trust for the purpose of paying benefits under DeVrys non-qualified deferred compensation plan.
As of March 31, 2011, all unrealized losses in the above table have been in a continuous
unrealized loss position for more than one year. When evaluating its investments for possible
impairment, DeVry reviews factors such as length of time and extent to which fair value has been
less than cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and DeVrys ability and intent to hold
the investment for a period of time believed to be sufficient for anticipated recovery in fair
value. The decline in value of the above investments is considered temporary in nature and,
accordingly, DeVry does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of
March 31, 2011.
6
As of June 30, 2010, DeVry held auction-rate debt securities in the aggregate principal amount
of $13.5 million. These outstanding securities were purchased by DeVrys broker, UBS, in early July
2010.
Realized gains and losses are computed on the basis of specific identification and are
included in Net Interest and Other Income/(Expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
DeVry has not recorded any realized gains or realized losses for fiscal 2011. See Note 4 for
further disclosures on the Fair Value of Financial Instruments.
Prepaid Clinical Fees
Clinical rotation costs for Ross University medical students are included in Cost of
Educational Services. Over the past several years, Ross University has entered into long-term
contracts with a hospital group to secure clinical rotations for its students at fixed rates in
exchange for prepayment of the rotation fees. Under the contracts, the established
rate-per-clinical rotation was being deducted from the prepaid balance and charged to expense as
the medical students utilized the clinical clerkships. The hospital group closed two of its
hospitals due to financial difficulties in February 2009. To date, the hospital group has provided
Ross with a limited number of additional clinical clerkships at its remaining hospital, but not
nearly enough to offset the void created by the closure of its other two hospitals. During April
2009, Ross filed a lawsuit against the hospital group to enforce the contract. The suit seeks
specific performance of the hospital groups obligations to provide Ross with the prepaid clinical
clerkships. As of March 31, 2011, the outstanding balance of prepaid clinical rotations with this
hospital group was approximately $6.2 million. Though DeVry believes that Ross has a contractual
right to utilize other clinical rotations within the hospital groups system, given the business
uncertainty of this situation, a reserve of $1.6 million has been provided against the prepaid
balance.
Internal-Use Software Development Costs
DeVry capitalizes certain internal-use software development costs that are amortized using the
straight-line method over the estimated lives of the software, not to exceed five years.
Capitalized costs include external direct costs of equipment, materials and services consumed in
developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll-related costs for employees directly
associated with the internal-use software development project. Capitalization of such costs ceases
at the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose.
Capitalized internal-use software development costs for projects not yet complete are included as
construction in progress in the Land, Buildings and Equipment section of the Consolidated Balance
Sheets. Costs capitalized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, were approximately
$6.6 million and $18.4 million, respectively. Costs capitalized during the three and nine months
ended March 31, 2010, were approximately $7.6 million and $20.0 million, respectively. In both
years these costs were primarily related to Project DELTA (a new student information system for
DeVry University and Chamberlain College of Nursing). As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the net
balance of capitalized software development costs was $62.2 million and $28.4 million,
respectively.
Perkins Program Fund
DeVry University is required, under federal aid program regulations, to make contributions to
the Perkins Student Loan Fund, most recently at a rate equal to 33% of new contributions by the
federal government. There were no new federal contributions received in fiscal 2011 or fiscal 2010.
DeVry carries its investment in such contributions at original values, net of allowances for
expected losses on loan collections, of $2.6 million at March 31, 2011 and 2010. The allowance for
future loan losses is based upon an analysis of actual loan losses experienced since the inception
of the program. As previous borrowers repay their Perkins loans, their payments are used to fund
new loans, thus creating a revolving loan fund. The federal contributions to this revolving loan
program do not belong to DeVry and are not recorded on its financial statements. Under current law,
upon termination of the program by the federal government or withdrawal from future program
participation by DeVry University, subsequent student loan repayments would be divided between the
federal government and DeVry University to satisfy their respective cumulative contributions to the
fund.
Non-Controlling Interest
DeVry maintains an 83.5 percent ownership interest in DeVry Brasil with the remaining 16.5
percent owned by the current DeVry Brasil management group. Beginning January 2013, DeVry has the
right to exercise a call option and purchase any remaining DeVry Brasil stock from DeVry Brasil
management. Likewise, DeVry Brasil management has the right to exercise a put option and sell its
remaining ownership interest in DeVry Brasil to DeVry. These options may become exercisable prior
to January 2013 if DeVry Brasils management ownership interest falls below five percent. Since
the put option is out of the control of DeVry, authoritative guidance requires the non-controlling
interest, which includes the value of the put option, to be displayed outside of the equity section
of the consolidated balance sheet.
7
The DeVry Brasil management put option, which is not currently redeemable but is probable of
becoming redeemable, is being accreted to its expected redemption value according to a fair market
value formula contained in the stock purchase agreement. The adjustment to increase or decrease
the put option to its expected redemption value each reporting period is recorded to retained
earnings in accordance with the authoritative guidance. The adjustment to increase or decrease the
DeVry Brasil non-controlling interest each reporting period for its proportionate share of DeVry
Brasils profit/loss will continue to flow through the consolidated income statement based on
DeVrys historical non-controlling interest accounting policy.

Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to DeVry Inc. by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus unvested participating
restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to
DeVry Inc. by the weighted average number of shares assuming dilution. Dilutive shares are computed
using the Treasury Stock Method and reflect the additional shares that would be outstanding if
dilutive stock options were exercised during the period. Excluded from the computations of diluted
earnings per share were options to purchase 910,000 and 1,188,000 shares of common stock for the
three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, and 323,000 and 749,000 shares of common
stock for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. These outstanding options
were excluded because the option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the
common shares or the assumed proceeds upon exercise under the Treasury Stock Method resulted in the
repurchase of more shares than would be issued; thus, their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Treasury Stock
DeVrys Board of Directors has authorized stock repurchase programs on five occasions (see
Note 6 Dividends and Stock Repurchase Program). The first repurchase program was completed in
April 2008, the second program was completed in November 2009, the third program was completed in
September 2010, and the fourth program was completed in December 2010. The fifth repurchase
program was approved by the DeVry Board of Directors on November 10, 2010, and it was commenced in
late December 2010. Shares that are repurchased by DeVry are recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and
result in a reduction of Shareholders Equity.
From time to time, shares of its common stock are delivered back to DeVry under a swap
arrangement resulting from employees exercise of incentive stock options pursuant to the terms of
the DeVry Stock Incentive Plans and as payment for withholding taxes due
8
from employees upon the
lapse of restricted stock units (see Note 3 Stock-Based Compensation). These shares are
recorded as Treasury Stock at cost and result in a reduction of Shareholders Equity.
Treasury shares are reissued on a monthly basis at market value, to the DeVry Employee Stock
Purchase Plan in exchange for employee payroll deductions. When treasury shares are reissued,
DeVry uses an average cost method to reduce the Treasury Stock balance. Gains on the difference
between the average cost and the reissuance price are credited to Additional Paid-in Capital.
Losses on the difference are charged to Additional Paid-in Capital to the extent that previous net
gains from reissuance are included therein; otherwise such losses are charged to Retained Earnings.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is composed of the change in cumulative translation
adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of the
effects of income taxes. The following are the amounts recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income for the three and nine months ended March 31 (dollars in thousands).

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income balance at March 31, 2011, consists of $13.9
million ($11.2 million attributable to DeVry Inc. and $2.7 million attributable to non-controlling
interests) of cumulative translation gains and $0.2 million of unrealized losses on
available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax of $0.1 million and all attributable to DeVry
Inc. At March 31, 2010, this balance consisted of $10.3 million ($8.3 million attributable to
DeVry Inc. and $2.0 million attributable to non-controlling interests) of cumulative translation
gains and $0.3 million of unrealized losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax
of $0.2 million and all attributable to DeVry Inc.
Advertising Expense
Advertising costs are recognized as expense in the period in which materials are purchased or
services are performed. Advertising expense, which is included in student services and
administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $65.4 million and $188.1
million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, and $56.1 million and
$158.6 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for improving disclosure on fair value
measurements. This guidance requires reporting entities to provide information about movements of
assets among levels of the three-tier fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157 (ASC 820).
The guidance is effective for DeVrys fiscal year 2011, and it should be used for quarterly and
annual filings. The application of this guidance did not have a significant impact on DeVrys
financial disclosures.
In July 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for improving disclosure on the credit
quality of financing receivables and allowances for credit losses. This guidance requires reporting
entities to provide information that will enable readers of financial statements to understand the
nature of credit risk in a companys financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed in
determining the related allowance for credit losses and changes to the allowance during the
reporting period. The guidance is effective for DeVrys second quarter of fiscal year 2011, and it
should be used for quarterly and annual filings. The application of this guidance is included in
Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
DeVry maintains four stock-based award plans: the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan, the 1999 Stock
Incentive Plan, the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2005 Incentive Plan. Under these plans,
directors, key executives and managerial employees are eligible to receive incentive stock or
nonqualified options to purchase shares of DeVrys common stock. The 2005 Incentive Plan also
permits the award of stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, performance stock and other stock
and cash based compensation. Though options remain outstanding under the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan,
no further stock based awards will be issued from this plan. The 1999 and 2003 Stock Incentive
Plans and the 2005 Incentive Plan are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. Options are granted for terms of up to 10 years and can vest immediately or over
periods of up to five years. The requisite service period is equal to the vesting period. The
option price under the plans is the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.
DeVry accounts for options granted to retirement eligible employees that fully vest upon an
employees retirement under the non-substantive vesting period approach to these options. Under
this approach, the entire compensation cost is recognized at the grant date for options issued to
retirement eligible employees.
At March 31, 2011, 4,559,226 authorized but unissued shares of common stock were reserved for
issuance under DeVrys stock incentive plans.
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at grant date, based on the fair value of the award,
and is recognized as expense over the employee requisite service period, reduced by an estimated
forfeiture rate.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and
2010 was $2.6 million and $12.1 million, respectively.
The fair value of DeVrys stock-based awards was estimated using a binomial model. This model
uses historical cancellation and exercise experience of DeVry to determine the option value. It
also takes into account the illiquid nature of employee options during the vesting period.

The weighted average estimated grant date fair values, for options granted at market price
under DeVrys stock option plans during first nine months of fiscal years 2011 and 2010 were $16.53
and $23.11, per share, respectively. The fair values of DeVrys stock option awards were estimated
assuming the following weighted average assumptions:

The expected life of the options granted is based on the weighted average exercise life with
age and salary adjustment factors from historical exercise behavior. DeVrys expected volatility is
computed by combining and weighting the implied market volatility, the most recent volatility over
the expected life of the option grant, and DeVrys long-term historical volatility. The pre-vesting
forfeiture rate is based on DeVrys historical stock option forfeiture experience.
If factors change and different assumptions are employed in the valuation of stock-based
awards in future periods, the stock-based compensation expense that DeVry records may differ
significantly from what was recorded in previous periods.
During the first nine months of fiscal year 2011, DeVry granted 282,430 shares of restricted
stock to selected employees and non-employee directors. Of these, 69,970 are performance based
shares which are earned by the recipients over a three year period based on achievement of
specified DeVry return on invested capital targets. The remaining 212,460 shares and all other
previously granted non-performance based shares of restricted stock are subject to restrictions
which lapse ratably over three and four-year periods on the grant anniversary date based on the
recipients continued service on the Board of Directors or employment with DeVry, or upon
retirement. During the restriction period, the recipient of the non-performance based shares shall
have a beneficial interest in the restricted stock and all associated rights and privileges of a
stockholder, including the right to receive dividends. These rights do not pertain to the
performance based shares. The following is a summary of restricted stock activity for the nine

As of March 31, 2011, $25.8 million of total pre-tax unrecognized compensation costs
related to non-vested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6
years. The total fair value of options and shares vested during the three months ended March 31,
2011 and 2010, was approximately $7.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively.
There were no capitalized stock-based compensation costs at March 31, 2011 and 2010.
DeVry has an established practice of issuing new shares of common stock to satisfy share
option exercises. However, DeVry also may issue treasury shares to satisfy option exercises under
certain of its plans.
NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As permitted by the authoritative guidance, DeVry has elected not to measure any assets or
liabilities at fair value other than those required to be measured at fair value such as financial
assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and assets
measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis such as goodwill and intangible assets. Management
has fully considered all authoritative guidance when determining the fair value of DeVrys
financial assets as of March 31, 2011.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to
transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance specifies a fair
value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable
inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable
inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The guidance establishes
fair value measurement classifications under the following hierarchy:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. |
|
|
|
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations
in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active
markets. |
|
|
|
Level 3 Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant
value-drivers are unobservable. |
When available, DeVry uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and such measurements
are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, DeVry makes
use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are
classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is
based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters
such as interest rates and yield curves. These measurements are classified within Level 3.
Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver
that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3
even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
The following tables present DeVrys assets at March 31, 2011, that are measured at fair value
on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy (dollars in thousands).

Cash Equivalents and investments in short-term Marketable Securities are valued using a market
approach based on the quoted market prices of identical instruments.
Below is a roll-forward of assets measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs for the nine
months ended March 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands). At no time during the most recent two quarters
of fiscal 2011 were any assets measured using Level 3 inputs. All Level 3 investments were
purchased by DeVrys broker, UBS, in early July 2010. These investments consisted of auction rate
securities. These securities were valued using a discounted cash flow model using assumptions that,
in managements judgment, reflected the
12
assumptions a marketplace participant would have used. See Note 2-Summary Of Significant
Accounting Policies-Marketable Securities and Investments for further information on these
investments.

NOTE 5: FINANCING RECEIVABLES
DeVrys institutional loan programs are available to students at its DeVry University,
Chamberlain College of Nursing, Carrington College and Carrington College of California schools as
well as selected students at Ross University School of Medicine. These loan programs are designed
to assist students who are unable to completely cover educational costs by other means. These loans
may be used for tuition, books, and fees, and are available only after all other student financial
assistance has been applied toward those purposes. In addition, Ross University School of Medicine
loans may be used for students living expenses. Repayment plans for institutional loan program
balances are developed to address the financial circumstances of the particular student. Interest
charges accrue each month on the unpaid balance. After a student leaves school, the student
typically will have a monthly installment repayment plan with all balances due within 12 to 60
months. In addition, the Becker CPA Review Course can be financed through Becker with a zero
percent, 18-month term loan.
Reserves for uncollectible loans are determined by analyzing the current aging of accounts
receivable and historical loss rates of loans at each educational institution. In addition,
management considers projections of future receivable levels and collection loss rates. Management
performs this analysis periodically throughout the year. Since all of DeVrys financing
receivables are generated through the extension of credit to students to fund educational costs,
all such receivables are considered part of the same loan portfolio.
The following table details the institutional loan balances along with the related allowances
for credit losses as of March 31, 2011 and 2010.

NOTE 6: DIVIDENDS AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On November 10, 2010, the DeVry Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share
of common stock. This dividend was paid on January 10, 2011, to common stockholders of record as of
December 10, 2010. The total dividend declared of $8.4 million was recorded as a reduction to
retained earnings as of December 31, 2010. On May 18, 2010, the DeVry Board of Directors declared
a cash dividend of $0.10 per share. This dividend was paid on July 8, 2010, to common stockholders
of record as of June 15, 2010. The total dividend declared of $7.1 million was recorded as a
reduction to retained earnings as of June 30, 2010. Future dividends will be at the discretion of
the Board of Directors.
On November 10, 2010, the DeVry Board of Directors authorized a fifth share repurchase
program, which allows DeVry to repurchase up to $50 million of its common stock through December
31, 2012. Under this plan as of March 31, 2011, DeVry has repurchased, on the open market, 593,788
shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $30.1 million. The timing and amount
of any repurchase will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and
other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, or
in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded through available
cash balances and/or borrowings, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
DeVry has completed four previous share repurchase programs, repurchasing, on the open market,
4,011,649 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $185.0 million.
Shares of stock repurchased under the programs are held as treasury shares. These repurchased
shares have reduced the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and
diluted earnings per share calculations.

NOTE 7: INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets, other than goodwill, relate mainly to acquired business operations. These
assets consist of the acquisition fair value of certain identifiable intangible assets acquired and
goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets
acquired less liabilities assumed.
Intangible assets consist of the following (dollars in thousands):

Amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets was $1.5 million and $4.5 million for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively, and $1.6 million and $9.2 million for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for
amortizable intangible assets for the next five fiscal years ending June 30, by reporting unit, is

All amortizable intangible assets, except for the Advanced Academics (AAI) Customer Contracts
and DeVry Brasil Student Relationships, are being amortized on a straight-line basis.
16
The amount being amortized for the AAI Customer Contracts is based on the estimated renewal
probability of the contracts, giving consideration to the revenue and discounted cash flow
associated with the respective Direct to Student and Direct to District customer relationships.
This results in the basis being amortized at an annual rate for each of the years of estimated
economic life as follows:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets related to Trademarks, Trade Names, Title IV Eligibility,
Accreditations and Intellectual Property are not amortized, as there are no legal, regulatory,
contractual, economic or other factors that limit the useful life of these intangible assets to the
reporting entity. Beginning in fiscal year 2010, the Trade Name associated with the Stalla CFA
Review was reclassified to a finite lived intangible asset and is being amortized on a straight
line basis over two years. This asset had a book value of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2011. As of
the latest impairment analysis completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, the assets
fair value exceeded this book value.
Authoritative guidance provides that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a
business combination are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangibles must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if
circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently
completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 at which time there was no impairment loss
associated with recorded goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets, as estimated fair values
exceeded the carrying amount.
DeVry did not perform an interim impairment review during the first nine months of fiscal year
2011, as no impairment indicators were noted through the period ended March 31, 2011. The estimated
fair values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying
values by at least 40% as of the end of fiscal year 2010 except those indefinite-lived intangible
assets acquired with the acquisitions of Carrington and DeVry Brasil where fair values exceeded
carrying values by at least 14%. The smaller premium for the newly acquired assets would be
expected considering all have been acquired within twenty months of the fourth quarter fiscal year
2010 valuation date and there has been less time for these assets to have appreciated in value from
their fair market value purchase price. Management did not believe business conditions had
deteriorated in any of its reporting units to the extent that the fair values of the reporting
units or indefinite-lived intangible assets would have differed materially from their fiscal year
2010 fair values. In this regard, revenues grew for all reporting units in the first nine months
of fiscal year 2011 except at AAI and Carrington.
At AAI, which carries a goodwill balance of $17.1 million, revenues declined slightly from the
prior year. The revenue decline at Advanced Academics was the result of lower summer school and
fall enrollments as school districts have reduced such programs driven by state budget constraints.
Despite this decline in revenues, AAIs operating loss for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was
flat in relation to the first nine months of fiscal 2010. This was the result of a decline in
advertising spending which offset the revenue decline and the increased investment to initiate
programs designed to enhance future revenue growth. The fair value of the AAI
17
reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value as of the fiscal year 2010 impairment
analysis. Management believes the negative trends at AAI will be temporary and believes its planned
business and operational strategies will reverse this negative trend in the foreseeable future.
However, if operating improvements are not realized, all or some of the goodwill could be impaired
in the future.
At Carrington, which carries a goodwill balance of $185.7 million, revenue declined slightly
from the prior year. The revenue decline at Carrington was the result of lower fall and spring
term student enrollments. Management believes these declines were the result of decreasing volume
of high quality lead flows and economic uncertainties. To address this issue, Carrington has
shifted its focus from brand awareness associated with the recent name change to more direct
response communications. Carrington is also making additional investments in its website interface
and admissions processes to better serve prospective students. The revenue decline has also
resulted in lower operating income; however, this reporting unit remains profitable with operating
margins exceeding 10%. The fair value of the Carrington reporting unit significantly exceeded its
carrying value as of the fiscal year 2010 impairment analysis. Management believes the negative
trends at Carrington will be temporary and believes its planned business and operational strategies
will reverse this negative trend in the foreseeable future. However, if operating improvements are
not realized, all or some of the goodwill could be impaired in the future.

Total goodwill increased by $2.96 million from June 30, 2010. This increase is the result of
the recognition of a preacquisition related liability of $0.7 million and an increase in the value
of the Brazilian Real as compared to the U.S. dollar. Since DeVry Brasil goodwill is recorded in
the local Brazilian currency, fluctuations in its value in relation to the U.S. dollar will cause
changes in the balance of this asset.

The only change in the indefinite-lived intangible assets balances from June 30, 2010,
resulted from the effects of foreign currency translation. Since DeVry Brasil intangible assets are
recorded in the local Brazilian currency, fluctuations in the value of the Brazilian Real in
relation to the U.S. dollar will cause changes in the balance of this asset.
NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES
DeVrys effective income tax rate reflects benefits derived from significant operations
outside the United States. Earnings of these international operations are not subject to U.S.
federal or state income taxes, so long as such earnings are not repatriated, as discussed below.
Three of DeVrys subsidiaries, Ross University School of Medicine (the Medical School) incorporated
under the laws of the Commonwealth of Dominica, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (the
Veterinary School) incorporated under the laws of the Federation of St. Christopher, Nevis, St.
Kitts in the West Indies, and DeVry Brasil incorporated under the laws of Brazil, all benefit from
local tax incentives. The Medical and Veterinary Schools have agreements with the respective
governments that exempt them from local income taxation through the years 2043 and 2023,
respectively, while DeVry Brasils effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from their
participation in PROUNI, a Brazilian program for providing scholarships to a portion of its
undergraduate students.
DeVry has not recorded a U.S. federal or state tax provision for the undistributed earnings of
its international subsidiaries. It is DeVrys intention to indefinitely reinvest accumulated cash
balances, future cash flows and post-acquisition undistributed earnings and profits to improve the
facilities and operations of its international Schools and pursue future opportunities outside the
United States. In accordance with this plan, cash held by the international subsidiaries will not
be available for general company purposes and under current laws will not be subject to U.S.
taxation. As of March 31 2011 and 2010, cumulative undistributed earnings attributable to
international operations were approximately $315.2 million and $251.4 million, respectively.
The effective tax rate was 32.3% and 33.7% for the third quarter and first nine months of
fiscal year 2011, respectively. These compare to 33.8% and 33.3% for the prior year third quarter
and first nine months, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate for the first nine
months of fiscal year 2011 was primarily due to an increase in the proportion of income generated
by U.S. operations versus the international operations of Ross University as compared to the prior
year. In the third quarter, this increased rate due to income mix was offset by discrete items
which reduced income tax expense for the period.
As of March 31, 2011, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax
positions, including positions impacting only the timing of tax benefits, was $9.1 million. The
amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was
$9.1 million. As of March 31, 2010, gross unrecognized tax benefits, including positions impacting
only the timing of benefits, was $2.3 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that,
if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate was $2.3 million. We expect that our
unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by an insignificant amount during the next twelve months.
DeVry classifies interest and penalties on tax uncertainties as a component of the provision for
income taxes. The total amount of interest and penalties accrued at June 30, 2010 was $0.7
million. The corresponding amount at March 31, 2011 was $0.9 million.

Revolving Credit Facility
All of DeVrys borrowings and letters of credit under its $175 million revolving credit
facility are through DeVry Inc. and Global Education International, Inc. (GEI), an international
subsidiary. The revolving credit facility became effective on May 16, 2003, and was amended as of
September 30, 2005 and again on January 11, 2007. DeVry Inc. aggregate commitments including
borrowings and letters of credit under this agreement cannot exceed $175.0 million, and GEI
aggregate commitments cannot exceed $50.0 million. At the request of DeVry Inc., the maximum
borrowings and letters of credit can be increased to $275.0 million in total with GEI aggregate
commitments not to exceed $50.0 million. There are no required payments under this revolving credit
agreement and all borrowings and letters of credit mature on January 11, 2012. DeVry Inc. letters
of credit outstanding under this agreement were $3.0 million and $15.5 million as of March 31, 2011
and 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, had there been outstanding borrowings under this
agreement they would have borne interest, payable quarterly or upon expiration of the interest rate
period, at the prime rate or at a LIBOR rate plus 0.50%, at the option of DeVry. Outstanding
letters of credit under the revolving credit agreement are charged an annual fee equal to 0.50% of
the undrawn face amount of the letter of credit, payable quarterly. The agreement also requires
payment of a commitment fee equal to 0.1% of the undrawn portion of the credit facility. The
interest rate, letter of credit fees and commitment fees are adjustable quarterly, based upon
DeVrys achievement of certain financial ratios.
The revolving credit agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, require
maintenance of certain financial ratios, as defined in the agreement. These financial ratios
include a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a consolidated leverage ratio and a composite
Equity, Primary Reserve and Net Income, Department of Education, financial responsibility ratio
(DOE Ratio). Failure to maintain any of these ratios or to comply with other covenants contained
in the agreement will constitute an event of default and could result in termination of the
agreement and require payment of all outstanding borrowings. DeVry was in compliance with all debt
covenants as of March 31, 2011.
The stock of certain subsidiaries of DeVry is pledged as collateral for the borrowings under
the revolving credit facility.
Auction Rate Securities Collateralized Line of Credit
In connection with the completion of the acquisition of Carrington, on September 18, 2008,
DeVry borrowed approximately $46 million against its portfolio of auction rate securities under a
temporary, uncommitted, demand revolving line of credit facility between DeVry Inc. and UBS Bank
USA (the Lender). This borrowing totaled approximately 80% of the fair market value on September
18, 2008, of DeVrys auction rate securities portfolio held through its broker, UBS, which was the
maximum borrowing permitted under this credit facility. These borrowings were fully repaid as of
June 30, 2010, and the lending agreement was terminated.
NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
DeVry is subject to occasional lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews and
investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other claims arising in the normal
conduct of its business. The following is a description of pending litigation that may be
considered other than ordinary and routine litigation that is incidental to the business.
The Boca Raton Firefighters and Police Pension Fund filed a complaint (the Shareholder
Case) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on November 1,
2010 (Case No. 1:10-cv-07031). The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who
purchased DeVry common stock between October 25, 2007, and August 13, 2010. Plaintiffs filed an
amended complaint (the Amended Complaint) on March 7, 2011 alleging the same categories of claims
in the initial complaint. The plaintiffs claim DeVry, Daniel Hamburger and Richard M. Gunst
violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder by failing to disclose abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending
practices, thereby increasing DeVrys student enrollment and revenues and artificially inflating
DeVrys stock price during the class period. DeVry and its executives believe the allegations
contained in the Amended Complaint are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously. DeVry
plans to file a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint by May 6, 2011.
Three derivative cases similar to the Shareholder Case also have been filed (Derivative
Actions). Two of the Derivative Actions were filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois,
Chancery Division: DeVry shareholder Timothy Hald filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry
on January 3, 2011 (Hald v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0087) and Matthew Green (also a DeVry
shareholder) filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry on January 7, 2011 (Green v. Hamburger
et al., Case No. 11 CH 0770). The Hald and Green cases (the Consolidated Cases) were
consolidated by court order dated February 9, 2011. Maria Dotro, another DeVry shareholder, filed a
third derivative complaint on DeVrys behalf in the Delaware Court of Chancery on March 11, 2011
(Dotro v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 6263). The Dotro case has been stayed pending resolution of
DeVrys forthcoming Motion
20
to Dismiss the Shareholder Case (Motion to Dismiss). DeVry is currently examining the possibility
of obtaining a similar stay of the Consolidated Cases pending the outcome of the Motion to Dismiss
the Shareholder Case.
The Derivative Actions allege that Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst, David J. Pauldine,
Sharon T. Parrott, Ronald L. Taylor, Lisa W. Pickrum, Darren R. Huston, David S. Brown, William T.
Keevan, Fernando Ruiz, Harold D. Shapiro, Lyle Logan, Connie R. Curran, and Julia McGee breached
their fiduciary duties to DeVry by failing to disclose the same allegedly abusive and fraudulent
recruiting and financial aid lending practices alleged in the Shareholder Case. The Derivative
Actions also allege that DeVrys officers and directors unjustly enriched themselves and wasted
DeVrys assets by (i) causing DeVry to incur substantial costs in defending the Shareholder Case;
(ii) causing DeVry to pay compensation and benefits to individuals who breached their fiduciary
duties; (iii) causing potential losses from certain of DeVrys programs no longer being eligible
for federal financial aid; and (iv) damaging DeVrys corporate image and goodwill. DeVry and its
executives believe the allegations contained in the Derivative Actions are without merit and intend
to defend them vigorously.
Although DeVry believes that the Shareholder Case and the Derivative Actions are without
merit, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation is difficult to predict. At this time, DeVry does
not expect that the outcome of any such matter will have a material effect on its cash flows,
results of operations or financial position.
NOTE 11: SEGMENT INFORMATION
DeVrys principal business is providing secondary and post-secondary education. The services
of our operations are described in more detail in Note 1- Nature of Operations to the
consolidated financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2010. DeVry presents four reportable segments: Business, Technology and
Management, which includes DeVry University undergraduate and graduate operations; Professional
Education, which includes the professional exam review and training operations of Becker CPA
Review and Stalla Review for the CFA Exams; Medical and Healthcare which includes the operations
of Ross University medical and veterinary schools, Chamberlain College of Nursing and Carrington;
and Other Educational which includes the DeVry Brasil and AAI operations.
These segments are consistent with the method by which the Chief Operating Decision Maker
(DeVrys President and CEO) evaluates performance and allocates resources. Such decisions are
based, in part, on each segments operating income, which is defined as income before interest
income and expense, amortization, non-controlling interest and income taxes. Intersegment sales are
accounted for at amounts comparable to sales to nonaffiliated customers and are eliminated in
consolidation. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements contained
in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.
The consistent measure of segment operating income excludes interest income and expense,
amortization and certain corporate-related depreciation and expenses. As such, these items are
reconciling items in arriving at income before income taxes. The consistent measure of segment
assets excludes deferred income tax assets and certain depreciable corporate assets. Additions to
long-lived assets have been measured in this same manner. Reconciling items are included as
corporate assets.
Following is a tabulation of business segment information based on the current segmentation
for each of the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. Corporate information is
included where it is needed to reconcile segment data to the consolidated financial statements
(dollars in thousands).

Beginning in fiscal year 2011, certain additions to long-lived assets that were previously
reported in the Business, Technology and Management segment are now reported as Corporate
additions. These additions consist primarily of the costs being capitalized as part of the Project
DELTA (a new student information system for DeVry University and Chamberlain College of Nursing.
See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Internal-Use Software Development
Costs).
DeVry conducts its educational operations in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean
countries of Dominica, Freeport, Grand Bahama, and St. Kitts/Nevis, Brazil, Europe, the Middle East
and the Pacific Rim. Other international revenues, which are derived principally from Brazil and
Canada, were less than 5% of total revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

NOTE 12: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On April 30, 2011, Becker Professional Education, a subsidiary of DeVry, completed its
acquisition of ATC International, a leading provider of professional accounting and finance
training from centers in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Central Asia. The acquisition
expands Beckers global accounting training platform, allowing it to further leverage is extensive
relationships with global accounting firms. Funding for the acquisition was provided from DeVrys
existing operating cash balances.
ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Through its website, DeVry offers (free of charge) its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q and other reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission. DeVrys Website is http://www.devryinc.com.
The following discussion of DeVrys results of operations and financial condition should be
read in conjunction with DeVrys Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes thereto in
Item 1, FINANCIAL STATEMENTS in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and DeVrys Consolidated
Financial Statements and related Notes thereto in Item 8 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
DATA in DeVrys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. DeVrys
Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a description of critical accounting policies and estimates and
assumptions used in the
23
preparation of DeVrys financial statements. These include, but are not
limited to, revenue and expense recognition; allowance for uncollectible accounts; internally
developed software; land, buildings and equipment; stock-based compensation; impairment of goodwill
and other intangible assets; impairment of long-lived assets and income taxes.
The somewhat seasonal pattern of DeVrys enrollments and its educational program starting
dates affect the results of operations and the timing of cash flows. Therefore, management
believes that comparisons of its results of operations should be made to the corresponding period
in the preceding year. Comparisons of financial position should be made to both the end of the
previous fiscal year and to the end of the corresponding quarterly period in the preceding year.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those that
affect DeVrys expectations or plans, may constitute forward-looking statements subject to the
Safe Harbor Provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These
forward-looking statements generally can be identified by phrases such as DeVry Inc. or its
management anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, forecasts, foresees, intends,
plans or other words or phrases of similar import. Such statements are inherently uncertain and
may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause future results to differ materially from those
projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties that
could affect DeVrys results are described throughout this Report, including those in Note 10 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements and in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings, and in DeVrys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on August 25, 2010 including, without limitation, in Item 1A, Risk
Factors and in the subsections of Item 1 Business entitled Competition, Student Recruiting
and Admission, Accreditation, Approval and Licensing, Tuition and Fees, Financial Aid and
Financing Student Education, Student Loan Defaults, Career Services, Seasonality, and
Employees.
All forward-looking statements included in this report are based upon information presently
available, and DeVry assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, DeVrys financial performance was driven by
continued solid execution of its growth and diversification strategy and focus on academic quality.
Operational and financial highlights for the quarter include:
|
|
|
Total revenues rose 11.6%, and net income increased 14.5% over the year-ago
period, while at the same time DeVry continued to make investments in the quality of its
academic programs and student services. |
|
|
|
|
Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine received an additional
accreditation by the American Veterinary Medical Association during the third quarter.
This prestigious accreditation is the gold standard in veterinary medicine and reflects
the investments that DeVry has made in academic quality and student services. |
|
|
|
|
Chamberlain College of Nursing began offering nursing programs at its new
campus in Houston, Texas, in March 2011. This new campus is co-located with DeVry
University. |
|
|
|
|
During the quarter, DeVry repurchased a total of 570,600 shares of its common
stock at an average cost of $50.82 per share. |
|
|
|
|
DeVrys financial position remained strong generating $485.2 million of
operating cash flow during the first nine months of fiscal year 2011, driven primarily by
strong operating results. As of March 31, 2011, cash and marketable securities balances
totaled $599.1 million and there were no outstanding borrowings. |

REVENUES
Total consolidated revenues for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 of $562.7 million
increased $58.3 million, or 11.6%, as compared to the year-ago quarter. For the first nine months
of fiscal year 2011, total consolidated revenues increased 16.1% to $1,635.6 million as compared to
the year-ago period. For both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2011,
revenues increased within all four of DeVrys business segments as a result of growth in total
student enrollments, improved student retention and tuition price increases.
Business, Technology and Management
Business, Technology and Management segment revenues increased 13.2% to $378.7 million in the
third quarter and rose 18.4% to $1,102.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as
compared to the respective year-ago periods driven primarily by growth in total student
enrollments, tuition price increases, and improved student retention on a year to date basis. The
Business, Technology and Management segment is comprised solely of DeVry University. Key trends in
enrollment and tuition pricing are set forth below.
Total undergraduate enrollment by term:
|
|
|
Increased by 22.0% from summer 2009 (55,979 students) to summer 2010 (68,290
students); |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 14.9% from fall 2009 (64,003 students) to fall 2010 (73,543
students); and |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 5.9% from spring 2010 (66,909 students) to spring 2011 (70,863
students). |
New undergraduate enrollment by term:
|
|
|
Increased by 9.9% from summer 2009 (19,057 students) to summer 2010 (20,935
students); |
|
|
|
|
Decreased by 4.7% from fall 2009 (18,878 students) to fall 2010 (17,983
students); and |
25
|
|
|
Decreased by 15.4% from spring 2010 (17,715 students) to spring 2011 (14,981
students). |
Graduate coursetaker enrollment, including the Keller Graduate School of Management:
The term coursetaker refers to the number of courses taken by a student. Thus, one student
taking two courses is counted as two coursetakers.
|
|
|
Increased by 17.6% from the July 2009 session (17,991 coursetakers) to the July
2010 session (21,165 coursetakers); |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 14.1% from the September 2009 session (20,496 coursetakers) to the
September 2010 session (23,389 coursetakers); |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 11.9% from the November 2009 session (20,734 coursetakers) to the
November 2010 session (23,199 coursetakers); |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 9.3% from the January 2010 session (22,679 coursetakers) to the
January 2011 session (24,784 coursetakers); and |
|
|
|
|
Increased by 9.2% from the March 2010 session (22,343 coursetakers) to the March
2011 session (24,406 coursetakers). |
Tuition rates:
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, DeVry Universitys U.S. undergraduate tuition ranges from
$580 to $600 per credit hour for students enrolling in 1 to 11 credit hours. Tuition ranges
from $350 to $360 per credit hour for each credit hour in excess of 11 credit hours. These
tuition rates vary by location and/or program and represent an expected weighted average
increase of approximately 3.5% as compared to the year-ago period. These amounts do not
include the cost of books, supplies, transportation, and living expenses. |
|
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, Keller Graduate School of Management program tuition per
classroom course ranges from $2,100 to $2,225, depending on location. This represents an
expected weighted average increase of 2.1% as compared to the year-ago period. The price for
a graduate course taken online is $2,225, compared to $2,200 previously. |
Management believes the increased undergraduate total student enrollments were most
significantly impacted by DeVrys strong track record of high-quality education, academic and
graduate employment outcomes, and improved retention of existing students on a year to date basis.
Management believes the decrease in undergraduate new student enrollments was the result of
decreasing volume of high quality inquiry flow, economic uncertainties, and overlapping high new
student growth rates in prior years. Management believes efforts to enhance the Keller Graduate
School of Management brand awareness through improved messaging have helped produce positive
graduate enrollment results.
Medical and Healthcare
Medical and Healthcare segment revenues increased 7.5% to $142.5 million in the third quarter
and grew 12.2% to $421.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the
respective year-ago periods. Higher student enrollments at Chamberlain College of Nursing
(Chamberlain) were a key driver of the segment revenue growth, which more than offset a decline
in new student enrollments at Ross University and Carrington Colleges Group, Inc. (Carrington).
Key trends for Ross University, Chamberlain and Carrington are set forth below.
Ross University total enrollment by term:
|
|
|
Increased by 2.1% from May 2009 (4,448 students) to May 2010 (4,542 students); |

Tuition rates:
|
|
|
Effective September 2010, tuition and fees for the beginning basic sciences
portion of the programs at the Ross University medical and veterinary schools are $15,600
and $15,000, respectively, per semester. This tuition rate represents an increase from
September 2009 tuition rates of approximately 6.4% for the medical school and 4.3% for the
veterinary school. |
|
|
|
|
Effective September 2010, tuition and fees for the Ross University final
clinical portion of the programs are $17,125 per semester for the medical school, and
$18,850 per semester for the veterinary school. This represents an increase from September
2009 tuition rates of approximately 6.4% for the medical school and 4.4% for the veterinary
school. These amounts do not include the cost of books, supplies, transportation, and living
expenses. |
|
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, tuition for the 2010-2011 academic year is $620 per credit
hour for students enrolled in Chamberlains BSN (onsite), ADN and LPN-to-RN programs.
Students enrolled on a full-time basis (between 12 and 17 credit hours) are charged a flat
tuition amount of $7,440 per semester. This represents an increase from 2009-2010 academic
year tuition rates of approximately 4.2%. These amounts do not include the cost of books,
supplies, transportation and living expenses. |
27
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, tuition for students enrolled in Chamberlains RN-to-BSN
online degree program is $575 per credit hour. This tuition rate is unchanged from the
2009-2010 academic year. Tuition for the 2010-2011 academic year is $650 per credit hour
for students enrolled in the online MSN program. These amounts do not include the cost of
books, supplies, transportation, and living expenses. |
|
|
|
|
Effective July 2010, on a per credit hour basis, tuition for Carrington College
and Carrington College California programs ranges from $347 per credit hour to $1,651 per
credit hour for non-general education courses, with the wide range due to the nature of the
programs. General Education courses are charged at $325 per credit hour at Carrington
College, and $364 per credit hour at Carrington College California. Student tuition is
reduced accordingly for any incoming academic credits that are applicable. Students are
charged a non-refundable registration fee ranging from $95 to $100, and they are also
charged separately for books and special (program specific) supplies and/or testing. A
student services fee ranging from $75 to $150 is charged at Carrington College as well,
depending on the program. |
An element of the growth strategy at Ross University School of Medicine was the development of
a clinical education center located in Freeport, Grand Bahama. The Freeport site was expected to
mitigate capacity constraints at the main campus in Dominica. However, the projected volume of
Ross students studying in Freeport has not been realized due to factors including an unforeseen
delay in the Medical Board of California licensing review process and caution on the part of
existing students considering Freeport. In November 2010, Ross University School of Medicine
secured licensing approval for its Freeport clinical location from the Medical Board of California.
It has been Ross understanding that medical students who attend the Freeport location would not
be eligible to receive Title IV financial aid while in Freeport, but would be eligible to receive
financial aid once they moved beyond their semesters in Freeport. However, the U.S. Department of
Education (ED) recently raised questions that could impact the overall financial aid eligibility
for new students who attend Freeport. While Ross is working through this issue with the ED, it is
also in the process of evaluating how to best leverage its Freeport location as part of its overall
expansion strategy.
Currently, Ross is not teaching medical basic sciences at its Freeport location. These
near-term challenges resulted in lower new student enrollments in the May 2010, September 2010, and
January 2011 semesters. However, management expects an increase in new student enrollments for the
May 2011 semester as compared to the prior year period.
Ross continues to invest in its Dominica facilities, programs and student services to meet the
strong demand for its medical program.
The increase in student enrollments at Chamberlain was attributable to its growing RN-to-BSN
online completion program, the addition of three new locations (Arlington, Virginia and Chicago
in July 2010 and Houston, Texas in March 2011), along with organic growth at existing locations.
All of these campuses are co-located with DeVry University.
Management believes the decline in student enrollments at Carrington is the result of
overlapping high new student growth rates in the year-ago period, decreasing volume of high quality
inquiry flow, and economic uncertainties. To address these issues, Carrington has shifted its
focus from brand awareness associated with the recent name change to more direct response
communications. Carrington is also making additional investments in its website interface and
admissions processes to better serve prospective students.
Professional Education
Professional Education segment revenues increased 7.5% to $24.5 million in the third quarter
and rose 11.8% to $65.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the
respective year-ago periods as demand for Beckers CPA review courses improved.
Other Educational Services
Other Educational Services segment revenues grew 18.5% to $17.0 million in the third quarter
and rose 8.0% to $46.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the
respective year-ago periods. DeVry Brasil was the primary driver of revenue growth in this segment
for both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2011 due to new student enrollment
growth of 41.0% and total enrollment growth of 16.1% in the most recent term. Revenue increased
modestly at Advanced Academics during the third quarter of the current year.
28
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Cost of Educational Services
The largest component of Cost of Educational Services is the cost of employees who support
educational operations. This expense category also includes the costs of facilities, adjunct
faculty, supplies, bookstore and other educational materials, student education-related support
activities, and the provision for uncollectible student accounts.
DeVrys Cost of Educational Services increased 8.7% to $232.9 million during the third quarter
and grew 13.1% to $690.9 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the
respective year-ago periods. Cost increases were incurred in support of expanding DeVry University
online and onsite total student enrollments and operating a higher number of DeVry University
locations as compared to the prior year. Also, cost increases were incurred for the operation of
the new Chamberlain campuses in Chicago, Arlington, Virginia, and Houston, Texas, and to support
growing online student enrollments. Cost increases were incurred at Carrington associated with
operating a higher number of locations as compared to the prior year and increased hiring of career
services employees. Expense attributed to stock-based awards included in Cost of Educational
Services increased during fiscal year 2011 as a result of an increase in the number stock awards
granted during the current year.
As a percent of revenue, Cost of Educational Services decreased to 41.4% in the third quarter
of fiscal year 2011 from 42.5% during the prior year period. For the first nine months of fiscal
year 2011, Cost of Educational Services decreased to 42.2% from 43.4% during the prior year period.
These decreases were the combined result of increased operating leverage with existing facilities
and staff and revenue gains, which more than offset incremental investments to maintain the high
quality of DeVrys educational offerings and to drive future revenue growth.
Student Services and Administrative Expense
This expense category includes student admissions, marketing and advertising costs, general
and administrative costs, expenses associated with curriculum development, and the amortization
expense of finite-lived intangible assets related to acquisitions of businesses.
Student Services and Administrative Expense grew 14.6% to $192.6 million during the third
quarter and increased 14.9% to $560.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as
compared to the respective year-ago periods. The increase in expenses represented additional
investments in advertising and recruiting to drive and support future growth in new student
enrollments. In addition, cost increases were incurred in information technology and student
services. Expense attributed to stock-based awards included in Student Services and Administrative
Expense increased during fiscal year 2011 as a result of an increase in the number of stock awards
granted during the current year.
Amortization of finite-lived intangible assets in connection with acquisitions of businesses
decreased during both the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to
the year-ago periods, as the respective student relationships and trade names from the Carrington
acquisition were fully amortized as of December 31, 2009. Amortization expense is included
entirely in the Student Services and Administrative Expense category.
As a percent of revenue, Student Services and Administrative Expense increased to 34.2% in the
third quarter of fiscal year 2011 from 33.3% during the year-ago quarter. The increase was the
result of a higher level of advertising and marketing spend and student services in the current
year period to drive and support future growth in new student enrollments. For the first nine
months of fiscal year 2011, Student Services and Administrative Expense decreased to 34.2% from
34.6% in the year-ago period. This decrease was the combined result of increased operating leverage
from advertising and student recruiting costs and revenue gains, which more than offset incremental
investments in student services and home office support personnel.
OPERATING INCOME
Total consolidated operating income for the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 of $137.2
million increased 12.5% as compared to the prior year quarter. For the first nine months of fiscal
year 2011, total consolidated operating income rose 23.9% to $384.6 million as compared to the
year-ago period. During both the third quarter and first
nine months of fiscal year 2011, operating income increases at DeVrys respective Business,
Technology and Management, Professional Education, and Other Educational Services segments
29
Business, Technology and Management
Business, Technology and Management segment operating income increased 15.9% to $99.4 million
during the third quarter and grew 28.8% to $283.3 million during the first nine months of fiscal
year 2011, as compared to the respective year-ago periods. These increases in operating income
were the result of higher revenue and an increase in operating leverage, while at the same time,
DeVry University continued to make investments in academic quality and student service to drive
future enrollment growth.
Medical and Healthcare
Medical and Healthcare segment operating income decreased 5.4% to $29.3 million during the
third quarter and declined 0.9% to $88.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2011
as compared to the respective prior year periods. These decreases in operating income were the
result of a decline in operating income at both Ross and Carrington and an increase in home office
expense allocable to the segment, which was partially offset by an increase in operating income at
Chamberlain. Ross University operating income declined slightly due to lower new student
enrollments, as discussed above, and investments to increase capacity. Carrington operating income
decreased as a result of lower student enrollments as compared to the year ago period.
Professional Education
Professional Education segment operating income increased 12.3% to $9.2 million during the
third quarter and grew 24.0% to $22.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as
compared to the prior year periods. These increases in operating income were the result of higher
revenue and an increase in operating leverage.
Other Educational Services
For the third quarter of fiscal year 2011, Other Educational Services operating income grew
$2.5 million, to $1.1 million as compared to an operating loss of $1.4 million in the year-ago
quarter. For the first nine months of fiscal year 2011, Other Educational Services recorded an
operating loss of $6.2 million as compared to an operating loss of $7.2 million for the year-ago
period. The improvement in both periods was driven by revenue growth at DeVry Brasil, which more
than offset increased investments at both DeVry Brasil and Advanced Academics to drive future
enrollment growth.
NET INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Interest income decreased 8.6%, to $0.4 million during the third quarter and declined 20.1% to
$1.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the respective prior
year periods. Despite an increase in invested cash balances as compared to the prior year periods,
interest income decreased because of lower interest rates earned on invested balances during the
third quarter and first nine months of fiscal year 2011. The increase in invested cash balances
was attributable to improved operating cash flow over the past twelve months partially offset by
cash used in connection with increased share repurchases, capital expenditures and debt repayment.
Interest expense increased 3.6%, to $0.3 million during the third quarter but declined 32.9%
to $0.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 as compared to the respective
prior year periods. The slight increase in the third quarter was the result of higher interest
rates on obligations owed by DeVry Brasil. The decrease in interest expense during the first nine
months of fiscal year 2011 was attributable to the repayment of outstanding borrowings under
DeVrys revolving line of credit.
DeVry recorded net investment gains of $0.1 million and $1.2 million during the third quarter
and first nine months of fiscal year 2010, respectively. These gains were the result of changes in
the valuation of DeVrys auction rate security portfolio and related put option. As of early July
2010, DeVry had fully liquidated its auction rate security portfolio at par value. There were no
investment gains in the current year periods.
INCOME TAXES
Taxes on income were 32.3% of pretax income for the third quarter and 33.7% for first nine
months of fiscal year 2011, compared to 33.8% for the third quarter and 33.3% for the first nine
months of the prior year periods. The lower effective tax rate in third quarter of fiscal year
2011 was attributable to a one-time impact from certain incremental tax deductions from prior
years. The higher effective tax rate in the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 was the result
of a greater proportion of pre-tax income being generated by U.S. operations versus the
international operations of Ross University in the current year quarter as compared to the prior
year. Earnings of Ross Universitys international operations are not subject to U.S. federal or
state taxes and also are exempt from income taxes in the jurisdictions in which the schools
operate. The medical and veterinary schools have agreements with their respective governments that
exempt them from local income taxation through the years 2043 and 2023, respectively. DeVry intends to
30
indefinitely reinvest Ross University earnings and cash flow to improve and expand
facilities and operations at the medical and
veterinary schools, and pursue other business opportunities outside the United States.
Accordingly, DeVry has not recorded a current provision for the payment of U.S. income taxes on
these earnings.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
DeVrys primary source of liquidity is the cash received from payments for student tuition,
books, other educational materials and fees. These payments include funds originating as financial
aid from various federal, state and provincial loan and grant programs; student and family
educational loans (private loans); employer educational reimbursements; and student and family
financial resources. Private loans as a percent of DeVrys total revenue are relatively small.
In connection with the turmoil in the credit markets and economic downturn over the past two
years, some lenders changed or exited certain private loan programs. Also, certain lenders have
tightened underwriting criteria for private loans. To date, these actions have not had a material
impact on DeVrys students ability to access funds for their educational needs and thus its
enrollments. DeVry monitors the student lending situation very closely and continues to pursue all
available financing options for its students, including DeVrys institutional loan programs.
The following table summarizes DeVrys cash receipts from tuition and related fee payments by
fund source as a percentage of total revenue for the fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The pattern of cash receipts during the year is somewhat seasonal. DeVrys accounts receivable
peak immediately after bills are issued each session. Historically, accounts receivable reach their
lowest level at the end of each session, dropping to their lowest point during the year at the end
of June.
At March 31, 2011, total accounts receivable, net of related reserves, was $224.0 million,
compared to $155.9 million at March 31, 2010. The increase in net accounts receivable was
attributable to revenue growth across all four business segments as compared to the year-ago
period. In addition, net accounts receivable increased as a result of a delay in March 2011 for
the receipt of federal funds for DeVry University undergraduate students due to the schools cohort
default rate of 10.2% which was in excess of the Department of Educations 10.0% threshold for cash
disbursement timing. DeVry Universitys undergraduate cohort default rate remained well below the
25% eligibility threshold. Such funds will be received during the fourth quarter of fiscal year
2011.
During fiscal year 2010, the source of the funding from student accounts, cash payments,
private scholarships, employer and military provided tuition assistance increased to 26% of DeVrys
total tuition revenues as compared to 21% in the prior year. The primary reason for this increase
was the full year impact of the financial results of DeVry Brasil in fiscal year 2010 as compared
to the three month impact in fiscal year 2009. DeVry Brasil students do not participate in the
Title IV program funding, resulting in a proportional increase in funding from student accounts and
cash payments as compared to fiscal year 2009.
Financial Aid
Like other higher education institutions, DeVry is highly dependent upon the timely receipt of
federal financial aid funds. All financial aid and assistance programs are subject to political and
governmental budgetary considerations. In the United States, the Higher Education Act (HEA)
guides the federal governments support of postsecondary education. If there are changes to
financial
31
aid programs that restrict student eligibility or reduce funding levels, DeVrys
financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. Please see Item 1A
Risk Factors in DeVrys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011, for a
discussion of student financial aid related risks.
In addition, government-funded financial assistance programs are governed by extensive and
complex regulations in both the United States and Canada. Like any other educational institution,
DeVrys administration of these programs is periodically reviewed by various regulatory agencies
and is subject to audit or investigation by other governmental authorities. Any violation could be
the basis for penalties or other disciplinary action, including initiation of a suspension,
limitation or termination proceeding. Previous Department of Education and state regulatory agency
program reviews have not resulted in material findings or adjustments against DeVry.
A U.S. Department of Education regulation known as the 90/10 Rule affects only proprietary
postsecondary institutions, such as DeVry University, Ross University, Chamberlain, Carrington
College and Carrington College California. Under this regulation, an institution that derives more
than 90% of its revenues from federal financial assistance programs in any year may not participate
in these programs for the following year.
The following table details the percent of revenue from federal financial assistance programs
for each of DeVrys Title IV eligible institutions for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Under the terms of DeVrys participation in financial aid programs, certain cash received from
state governments and the U.S. Department of Education is maintained in restricted bank accounts.
DeVry receives these funds either after the financial aid authorization and disbursement process
for the benefit of the student is completed, or just prior to that authorization. Once the
authorization and disbursement process for a particular student is completed, the funds may be
transferred to unrestricted accounts and become available for DeVry to use in current operations.
This process generally occurs during the academic term for which such funds have been authorized.
At March 31, 2011, cash in the amount of $7.4 million was held in restricted bank accounts,
compared to $55.9 million at March 31, 2010. The primary reason for the decrease in cash held in
restricted bank accounts at March 31, 2011 as compared to March 31, 2010 was the timing of
restricted cash received at DeVry University in the current fiscal year as compared to the year ago
period.
Cash from Operations
Cash generated from operations in the nine months of fiscal year 2011 was $485.2 million,
compared to $481.3 million in the prior year period. Cash increased $47.1 million due to higher
net income. Greater cash flow was also a result of an increase in deferred tuition revenue of
$20.4 million driven by increased total student enrollments, primarily at DeVry University and
Chamberlain. An increase in non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization and stock-based
compensation resulted in a $3.5 million greater source of cash. In addition, the timing of the
receipt of tuition payments and restricted cash produced a $50.2 million increase in cash. Also,
an increase in net deferred income tax liabilities resulted in a $21.0 million greater source of
cash. These increases in operating cash flow were partially offset by $86.1 million from a lower
source of cash compared to the prior year for changes in levels of prepaid expenses, accounts
payable and accrued expenses. Variations in the levels of accrued and prepaid expenses and
accounts payable from period to period are caused, in part, by the timing of the period-end
relative to DeVrys payroll and bill payment cycles. Also, accounts receivable, net of related
reserves, increased in the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 and resulted in a $53.3 million
use of cash. The increase in net accounts receivable was attributable to revenue growth across all
four business segments as compared to the year-ago period. In addition, net accounts receivable
increased as a result of a delay in March 2011 for the receipt of federal funds for
32
DeVry University undergraduate students due to the schools cohort default rate of 10.2% which was in
excess of the Department of Educations 10.0% threshold. Such funds will be received during the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Capital expenditures in the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 were $91.3 million compared
to $101.6 million in the year-ago period. DeVry continues to invest capital to support Project
DELTA (implementation of a new student information system for DeVry University and Chamberlain);
facility expansion at the Ross University medical and veterinary schools; spending for the new
Chamberlain campuses; new location openings and capacity expansion at Carrington; and facility
improvements at DeVry University. Management expects the rate of capital spending to increase in
the fourth quarter, and anticipates full year fiscal 2011 capital spending to be about $150
million.
Cash Used in Financing Activities
During the first nine months of fiscal year 2011, DeVry repurchased a total of approximately
2,248,000 shares of its stock, on the open market, for approximately $104.7 million. DeVry
completed its third and fourth share repurchases program during the first six months of fiscal year
2011. In late December 2010, DeVry commenced its fifth program, and as of March 31, 2011, the
total remaining authorization under this repurchase program was $19.9 million. The timing and
amount of future repurchases under this program will be determined by DeVry management based on its
evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open
market, including block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The
buyback will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings under its revolving credit
agreement and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Cash dividends paid during the first nine months of fiscal year 2011 were $15.5 million.
DeVrys Board of Directors declared a dividend on November 10, 2010 of $0.12 per share to common
stockholders of record as of December 10, 2010. The total dividend of $8.4 million was paid on
January 10, 2011.
DeVrys consolidated cash balances of $596.5 million at March 31, 2011, included approximately
$245.9 million of cash attributable to DeVrys international operations. It is DeVrys intention
to indefinitely reinvest this cash and subsequent earnings and cash flow to improve and expand
facilities and operations of its international schools and pursue future business opportunities
outside the United States. Therefore, cash held by international operations will not be available
for domestic general corporate purposes. Management does not believe that this policy will
adversely affect DeVrys overall liquidity.
Historically, DeVry has produced positive domestic cash flows from operating activities
sufficient to fund the delivery of its domestic educational programs and services as well as to
fund capital investment and other activities including share repurchases and dividend payments. In
addition, DeVry maintains a $175 million revolving line of credit which can be expanded to $275
million at the option of DeVry. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, cash flows from domestic
operating activities were approximately $429.6 million which, in addition to funding other
investment and financing activities, was sufficient to fund $71.7 million of domestic capital
investment, pay dividends of $15.5 million and fund $104.7 million of common stock repurchases.
DeVry believes that it has sufficient liquidity despite the disruption in the credit markets
over the past two years. Management believes that current balances of unrestricted cash, cash
generated from operations and revolving loan facility will be sufficient to fund both DeVrys
current domestic and international operations and growth plans, and current share repurchase
program, for the foreseeable future unless future significant investment opportunities, similar to
the acquisition of Carrington, should arise.
Other Contractual Arrangements
DeVrys long-term contractual obligations consist of its $175 million revolving credit
facility, operating leases on facilities and equipment, and agreements for various services. DeVry
has the option to expand the revolving credit facility to $275 million. At March 31, 2011, there
were no outstanding borrowings under DeVrys revolving credit agreement. DeVrys letters of credit
outstanding under the revolving credit facility were approximately $3.0 million as of March 31,
2011.
DeVry is not a party to any off-balance sheet financing or contingent payment arrangements,
nor are there any unconsolidated subsidiaries. DeVry has not extended any loans to any officer,
director or other affiliated person. DeVry has not entered into any synthetic leases, and there are
no residual purchase or value commitments related to any facility lease. DeVry did not enter into
any significant derivatives, swaps, futures contracts, calls, hedges or non-exchange traded
contracts during the first nine months of fiscal year 2011. DeVry had no open derivative positions
at March 31, 2011.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for improving disclosure on fair value
measurements. This guidance requires reporting entities to provide information about movements of
assets among levels of the three-tier fair value hierarchy
established by SFAS No. 157 (ASC 820). The guidance is effective for DeVrys fiscal year 2011,
and it should be used for quarterly and annual filings. The application of this guidance did not
have a significant impact on DeVrys financial disclosures.
In July 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance for improving disclosure on the credit
quality of financing receivables and allowances for credit losses. This guidance requires reporting
entities to provide information that will enable readers of financial statements to understand the
nature of credit risk in a companys financing receivables, how that risk is analyzed in
determining the related allowance for credit losses and changes to the allowance during the
reporting period. The guidance is effective for DeVrys second quarter of fiscal year 2011, and it
should be used for quarterly and annual filings. The application of this guidance is included in
Note 5 to these consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
DeVry is not dependent upon the price levels, nor affected by fluctuations in pricing, of any
particular commodity or group of commodities. However, more than 50% of DeVrys costs are in the
form of employee wages and benefits. Changes in employment market conditions or escalations in
employee benefit costs could cause DeVry to experience cost increases at levels beyond what it has
historically experienced.
The financial position and results of operations of Ross Universitys Caribbean operations are
measured using the U.S. dollar as the functional currency. Substantially all Ross University
financial transactions are denominated in the U.S. dollar.
The financial position and results of operations of DeVrys Canadian educational programs are
measured using the Canadian dollar as the functional currency. The Canadian operations have not
entered into any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services, other than
the lease agreement on a teaching facility. DeVry does not have any foreign exchange contracts or
derivative financial instruments designed to mitigate changes in the value of the Canadian dollar.
Because Canada-based assets constitute less than 1.0% of DeVrys overall assets, and its Canadian
liabilities constitute approximately 3% of overall liabilities, changes in the value of Canadas
currency at rates experienced during the past several years are unlikely to have a material effect
on DeVrys results of operations or financial position. Based upon the current value of the net
assets in the Canadian operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the Canadian dollar relative
to the U.S. dollar would result in a translation adjustment of less than $100,000.
The financial position and results of operations of DeVrys investment in DeVry Brasil are
measured using the Brazilian Real as the functional currency. DeVry Brasil has not entered into
any material long-term contracts to purchase or sell goods and services, other than the lease
agreements on teaching facilities and contingencies relating to prior acquisitions. Currently,
DeVry does not have any foreign exchange contracts or derivative financial instruments designed to
mitigate changes in the value of the Brazilian Real. Because Brazilian-based assets constitute
approximately 4% of DeVrys overall assets, and its Brazilian liabilities constitute less than
approximately 2% of overall liabilities, changes in the value of Brazils currency at rates
experienced during the past several years are unlikely to have a material effect on DeVrys results
of operations or financial position. Based upon the current value of the net assets in DeVry
Brasils operations, a change of $0.01 in the value of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S.
dollar would result in a translation adjustment of less than $1.0 million.
The interest rate on DeVrys debt is based upon LIBOR interest rates for periods typically
ranging from one to three months. For borrowings of $50.0 million a 100 basis point increase in
short-term interest rates would result in approximately $0.5 million of additional annual interest
expense. At March 31, 2011, DeVry had no outstanding borrowings. However, future investment
opportunities and cash flow generated from operations may affect the level of outstanding
borrowings and the effect of a change in interest rates.
DeVrys customers are principally individual students enrolled in its various educational
programs. Accordingly, concentration of accounts receivable credit risk is small relative to total
revenues or accounts receivable.
DeVrys cash is held in accounts at various large, financially secure depository institutions.
Although the amount on deposit at a given institution typically will exceed amounts subject to
guarantee, DeVry has not experienced any deposit losses to date, nor does management expect to
incur such losses in the future.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officer Certificates
The required compliance certificates signed by the DeVrys CEO and CFO are included as
Exhibits 31 and 32 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to help ensure that all the information
required to be disclosed in DeVrys reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the applicable rules and forms.
DeVrys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their
evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that DeVrys disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are effective to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the reports that DeVry files or submits under the Exchange
Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to
DeVrys management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
third quarter of fiscal year 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, DeVrys internal control over financial reporting.
PART II Other Information
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
DeVry is subject to occasional lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews and
investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other claims arising in the normal
conduct of its business. The following is a description of pending litigation that may be
considered other than ordinary and routine litigation that is incidental to the business.
The Boca Raton Firefighters and Police Pension Fund filed a complaint (the Shareholder
Case) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on November 1,
2010 (Case No. 1:10-cv-07031). The complaint was filed on behalf of a putative class of persons who
purchased DeVry common stock between October 25, 2007, and August 13, 2010. Plaintiffs filed an
amended complaint (the Amended Complaint) on March 7, 2011 alleging the same categories of claims
in the initial complaint. The plaintiffs claim DeVry, Daniel Hamburger and Richard M. Gunst
violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder by failing to disclose abusive and fraudulent recruiting and financial aid lending
practices, thereby increasing DeVrys student enrollment and revenues and artificially inflating
DeVrys stock price during the class period. DeVry and its executives believe the allegations
contained in the Amended Complaint are without merit and intend to defend them vigorously. DeVry
plans to file a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint by May 6, 2011.
Three derivative cases similar to the Shareholder Case also have been filed (Derivative
Actions). Two of the Derivative Actions were filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois,
Chancery Division: DeVry shareholder Timothy Hald filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry
on January 3, 2011 (Hald v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 11 CH 0087) and Matthew Green (also a DeVry
shareholder) filed a derivative complaint on behalf of DeVry on January 7, 2011 (Green v. Hamburger
et al., Case No. 11 CH 0770). The Hald and Green cases (the Consolidated Cases) were
consolidated by court order dated February 9, 2011. Maria Dotro, another DeVry shareholder, filed a
third derivative complaint on DeVrys behalf in the Delaware Court of Chancery on March 11, 2011
(Dotro v. Hamburger et al., Case No. 6263). The Dotro case has been stayed pending resolution of
DeVrys forthcoming Motion to Dismiss the Shareholder Case (Motion to Dismiss). DeVry is
currently examining the possibility of obtaining a similar stay of the Consolidated Cases pending
the outcome of the Motion to Dismiss the Shareholder Case.
The Derivative Actions allege that Daniel Hamburger, Richard M. Gunst, David J. Pauldine,
Sharon T. Parrott, Ronald L. Taylor, Lisa W. Pickrum, Darren R. Huston, David S. Brown, William T.
Keevan, Fernando Ruiz, Harold D. Shapiro, Lyle Logan, Connie R. Curran, and Julia McGee breached
their fiduciary duties to DeVry by failing to disclose the same allegedly abusive and fraudulent
recruiting and financial aid lending practices alleged in the Shareholder Case. The Derivative
Actions also allege that DeVrys officers and directors unjustly enriched themselves and wasted
DeVrys assets by (i) causing DeVry to incur substantial costs in defending the
35
Shareholder Case;
(ii) causing DeVry to pay compensation and benefits to individuals who breached their fiduciary
duties; (iii) causing potential losses from certain of DeVrys programs no longer being eligible
for federal financial aid; and (iv) damaging DeVrys corporate image and goodwill. DeVry and its
executives believe the allegations contained in the Derivative Actions are without merit and intend
to defend them vigorously.
Although DeVry believes that the Shareholder Case and the Derivative Actions are without
merit, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation is difficult to predict. At this time, DeVry does
not expect that the outcome of any such matter will have a material effect on its cash flows,
results of operations or financial position.
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report and the risk factor described
below, the factors discussed in Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors in DeVrys Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, which could materially affect DeVrys business,
financial condition or future results, should be carefully considered. Such risks are not the only
risks facing DeVry. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to DeVry or that
management currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business,
financial condition and/or operating results.
U.S. Department of Education (ED) rulemaking could result in regulatory changes that could have
a material adverse effect on DeVrys student enrollment and financial results.
On October 28, 2010, the ED issued final regulations with respect to program integrity issues
for postsecondary education institutions participating in Title IV programs, which will take
effect on July 1, 2011. The ED expects to issue final rules in early 2011 related to the
definition of gainful employment, which are expected to take effect on July 1, 2012. DeVry is in
the process of reviewing the final regulations but does not anticipate making material changes to
its operations in order to comply with the final regulations that were issued on October 28, 2010.
At this time, DeVry cannot be certain what requirements will be included in final regulations
relating to gainful employment. Accordingly, DeVry cannot project how new requirements may affect
the eligibility of DeVrys U.S. degree granting institutions to participate in the Title IV
Programs, their ability to comply with revised Title IV Program regulations, or the potential
impact of any changes on students or their ability to finance their educations. Uncertainty
surrounding the final rules, interpretive regulations or guidance by the ED may continue for some
period of time and may adversely affect DeVrys business. The outcome of the final rules related
to the definition of gainful employment could have a material adverse effect on DeVrys financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows.
