EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K of Grand Canyon Education, Inc. (the “University”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2015 (the “Original 8-K”), is filed to provide a revised earnings press release (the “Revised Release”), filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Amendment No. 1 to amend and replace the earnings press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original 8-K (the “Original Release”).

In providing our quarterly and full year outlook for Target Operating Margin, we typically give effect in that calculation to the amount that we contribute each year in lieu of state of income taxes. In the Original Release, our stated full year Target Operating Margin of 27.1% did not give effect to the $2.8 million of contributions in lieu of state income taxes that we made during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The Revised Release reflects these contributions and, giving effect to these contributions, our full year Target Operating Margin is 26.8%.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On October 28, 2015, the University reported its results for the third quarter of 2015. The Revised Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Item 9.01. Consolidated Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

99.1    Revised Release dated October 28, 2015
