Message from our Chairman and CEO,

Fellow Shareholders,
Fiscal 2025 stands as both a proof point and an inflection point for Adtalem validating our thesis while positioning us for our
next phase of growth as a vital component of healthcare infrastructure.
A Proof Point: Operational Excellence Drives Value Creation
This year proved the transformative power of our Growth with Purpose strategy. Our integrated operating model delivered
exceptional results that validated operational excellence as our primary vehicle for sustainable value creation.
The numbers speak for themselves: revenue of $1.79 billion representing 12.9% growth that more than doubled our 2023 investor
day targets. Adjusted earnings per share of $6.67 grew 33.1%. Total enrollment surpassed 91,000 students with over 10% average
quarterly growth. We graduated 29,000 students 90% into healthcare professions who now serve in underserved rural
communities and urban centers nationwide.
Each institution validated our strategy: Chamberlain University achieved its tenth consecutive quarter of growth, reaching a record
40,000+ students. Walden University delivered eight consecutive quarters of accelerating growth, surpassing 48,000 students and
pre-pandemic levels. Our Medical and Veterinary segment maintained excellence with over 5,000 enrolled students.
This performance proves that accessible, career-focused healthcare education, delivered through modern programs and techenabled learning, creates a virtuous cycle of student success, employer satisfaction and investor returns.
An Inflection Point: Expanding Our Role in Critical Healthcare Infrastructure
Our sustained execution has earned us the right to seek a larger and more visible role in America's critical healthcare
infrastructure. At a time when the U.S. faces acute workforce shortages across all healthcare professions, we aspire to become the
systemically important, highly integrated partner that healthcare employers and policymakers increasingly rely on to build their
talent pipeline.
Our 350,000+ alumni, 91,000+ current students and 10,000+ colleagues represent more than an educational institution; we are
essential infrastructure for healthcare delivery. Our graduates serve in critical roles that keep communities healthy; from nurses
providing essential care in small-town clinics to emergency specialists responding to life-threatening situations in metropolitan
hospitals.
This positioning reflects both our scale and our responsibility. We are not merely participants in healthcare education; we are
positioned to play an increasingly vital role in ensuring America's healthcare system has the skilled professionals it needs to
function effectively.
The Higher Education Context: Leading Innovation When It Matters Most
At a time when higher education faces important questions about accessibility, career relevance and value, our mission of
democratizing education has never been more important. We are proud to complement the broader higher education ecosystem by
innovating the student journey and expanding access to clinical and healthcare careers for learners who might not otherwise have
these opportunities.

2025 Proxy Statement

Our focus on accessible, flexible, career-focused education fills critical gaps in the educational landscape. We serve working
adults, career changers and first-generation college students who need different pathways to meaningful careers. Through
technology-enabled learning and competency-based programs, we are innovating how education is delivered and making quality
healthcare education more accessible to diverse communities.
Our graduates enter essential roles with clear career pathways and immediate impact in their communities. Healthcare employers
increasingly rely on us to meet critical staffing needs across underserved markets. Our regulators and accreditors recognize us as
a partner in ensuring both educational quality and healthcare workforce development.
This positions us as an innovator in educational delivery: we are demonstrating how to democratize access to high-demand
careers while maintaining rigorous standards and outstanding outcomes.
Creating Sustained Value for All Stakeholders
This success creates expanding opportunities. For our investors, we continue deploying capital to high-return growth opportunities
while returning excess capital to shareholders. For our students, we provide accessible pathways to meaningful healthcare
careers. For our colleagues, we offer the opportunity to serve a mission that transforms lives and communities. For healthcare
employers, we deliver the skilled workforce they desperately need. For policymakers and communities, we address critical
infrastructure needs that government alone cannot solve.
Our commitment remains unwavering: delivering outstanding student outcomes at scale while building the healthcare workforce
America needs. We are not just growing a business we are strengthening the foundation of our nation's healthcare system.
Thank you for your continued confidence in our purpose and our execution.
Sincerely,
Steve Beard
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
