Overseas Education’s earnings take 32.1% nosedive to $21.98m

Falling student enrolment numbers weighed down revenue.

Overseas Education Limited (OEL)’s FY15 net profits took a 32.1% nosedive to $21.98m as waning student enrolment battered the company’s revenue.

According to OEL’s announcement, its total revenue dipped 4.9% to $97.12m as student enrolment numbers tumbled, particularly in the junior schools.

Total operating expense inched up 5.4% to $7.75m on back of increased depreciation expenses, finance costs and utilities, offset by the absence of school lease rental after the move to the new school campus in July 2015 and reduced upkeep and maintenance expenses.

Meanwhile, finance costs of $4.15m were expensed in the second half of FY15 as they were no longer capitalised as part of construction-in-progress upon completion of the new school campus and the start of school operation from 1 July 2015.

Income tax expense for the financial year comprised mainly of the accrual of current year’s deferred tax liabilities of $2.38m due to the recognition of capital allowances on new assets acquired for the new school campus.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
