With that, I will turn the call over to Jerome Grant, CEO of Universal Technical Institute, for his prepared remarks. Jerome? Thank you, Matt. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you all for joining us today. I'd also like to thank our faculty, staff, and students for their ongoing hard work and commitment. During the third quarter, we continued to execute on our growth and diversification initiatives as we further optimize and scale our company infrastructure. Our results for the quarter exceeded expectations as we delivered $153.3 million in revenue, $11.4 million in adjusted EBITDA, and 5,300 total new student starts across both divisions. As a result of our strong performance in the quarter and year-to-date, we have raised and adjusted our financial guidance, which I'll cover in a few minutes. Significantly, we achieved same-store start growth at our UTI campuses for the first time since the third quarter of 2022 after driving steady improvements in this metric over the past several quarters. We expect this to carry into the fourth quarter, and we're pleased with the progress on this front. Our Q3 performance is a testament to the strength and dexterity of our operating model. I'd like to thank our Concorde and UTI divisional leadership teams, led by Jami Frazier and Tracy Lorenz, respectively, for driving our operational initiatives and enabling us to optimally prepare and position our students for fulfilling careers in the in-demand fields we serve. I'd now like to provide some quick divisional updates for the third quarter, starting with Concorde. We've made great progress with our integration activities, which to date have focused on meeting critical public company requirements. Concorde starts have continued to perform well, with strong core program starts in the quarter and across both clinical and core programs in July. To further benefit this performance, we began implementing targeted grant assistance initiatives for certain Concorde students. In contrast to the enhanced grants aimed towards relocating students in our UTI division, our Concorde measures have focused on local students with prior healthcare experience due to the local nature of Concorde's student body. Though macroeconomic pressures have historically had less impact on Concorde's current students and prospects, having this enhanced support for specific programs and campuses has helped our incoming healthcare students. From program and growth perspective, Concorde is currently planning to launch six new programs, which could begin as soon as September, with the remainder launching in fiscal 2024. These rollouts include three new Dental Hygiene programs we've previously mentioned, which remain on track to launch next year. The other three programs are smaller programs that we more recently identified as opportunities. They already have Department of Education approval and have relatively low investment and ramp-up requirements. Thus, we made the decision to launch them at two campuses in the coming months. The first of these programs, which consists of the Diagnostic Medical Sonography and Cardiovascular Sonography programs, or DMS and CVS, respectively, could begin starting students in September. Moving to the UTI division, we continued to execute on our two main 2023 growth drivers for this segment: new program launches and the scaling of our two newest campuses in Austin, Texas, and Miramar, Florida. Starting with UTI's program rollouts, we're now entering the launch phase for 14 new programs across nine UTI campuses planned for this fiscal year. These programs, which include Wind and Energy Management, Aviation, robotics, and HVACR, primarily came to UTI by the way of MIAT acquisition as we continue to extract value from that investment. In July, we launched the first tranche of programs at four campuses. Combined, these programs started their initial cohorts with approximately 70 students, which represents an encouraging start performance in these early days. Between August and September, UTI expects to launch the remaining planned new programs across 6 campuses. In fact, two campuses launched robotics programs just yesterday. We received the final FAA approval needed for the Avondale Aviation program in early July. We expect to receive 2 other outstanding Aviation program approvals in September. Other than the two final Aviation approvals, we have worked through the industry-wide regulatory approval delays UTI experienced earlier this year, which compressed the program launch timelines and cost us to shift a few start dates to later in the quarter than originally planned. Overall, demand for the new programs has remained strong as we further ramp our marketing efforts. Our preliminary fiscal 2023 guidance included modest benefits on student starts and revenue for the planned program launches. We expect further benefits and higher growth expectations from these launches in fiscal 2024 and onward. Turning to Austin and Miramar, UTI's two newest campuses continue to scale nicely, with over 800 students combined. These campuses were also designed with program expansion areas, and they will house some of our new programs, which began with the July launch of HVACR at Austin, and Aviation at Miramar is targeted for September. Our progress on both campuses remains on track to meet or exceed expectations, and we will maintain our work on scaling and identifying future expansion initiatives. Broader UTI divisional enrollment patterns have been moving in the right direction, and overall demand and inquiry volumes remain high. We're very pleased to report overall start growth for the UTI division at 5%, and with that, a few points of same-store growth during the quarter. This was largely driven by continued gains with local students and improved traction with relocating students, to whom UTI provided targeted support package enhancements during the quarter. These efforts complement the initiatives the team has previously implemented to mitigate inflation-related pressure on relocating students across the UTI. The UTI will keep assisting these groups through dedicated support and financial aid teams, along with varying the mix of grant enhancements as needed. This comes in conjunction with working to further ramp the yield of our division's admissions and marketing investments to support high school and military channel recruitment, which are traditionally less affected by inflation. Our work across both divisions reflects our core commitment to driving positive student outcomes. This commitment and the reputation we've built over nearly 60 years of operation, has given us an industry leadership position that we're dedicated to maintaining. As a recent example, our Concorde campuses in Orlando and San Antonio, along with our UTI campus in Exton, Pennsylvania, were all recently recognized as our latest ACCSC Schools of Excellence Award winners. Our UTI campus in Long Beach, California, was also recognized as an ACCSC School of Distinction. This award recognizes ACCSC-accredited schools for their commitment to the expectations and rigors of ACCSC accreditation, as well as demonstrating exceptional student achievement. We have a long history of receiving these designations across our campus footprint, and we're honored to receive these most recent recognitions. We'll continue to uphold the quality of our instruction, industry partnerships, and career preparation across healthcare, transportation, and skilled trades. As Troy will discuss in more detail later in the call, with our strong performance through the first three quarters and visibility we have into the fourth quarter, we've tightened our expected revenue guidance range and raised our adjusted EBITDA range for fiscal 2023. We now expect fiscal year 2023 revenue to range between $602 million and $605 million. As for adjusted EBITDA, we now expect the range to be $62 million-$64 million. We are reiterating and tracking comfortably towards the middle of our expected fiscal year 2023 new student start range of between 22,000 and 23,500, We remain confident in our previously stated fiscal 2024 projections of exceeding $700 million in annual revenue and approaching $100 million in adjusted EBITDA. We'll provide formal guidance ranges for 2024 when we report our year-end results in just a few months. I'm proud of the strategic progress and execution we've maintained across both segments year to date. I'd now like to turn the call over to Troy to discuss our results from the quarter in more detail. Troy? Thank you, Jerome. Our third quarter performance exceeded our expectations on both the top and bottom lines. Note, this is the second full quarter of contribution from Concord. Their results were a key driver of the upside in the quarter. As a reminder, our reported results include both consolidated and segment views, as well as corporate unallocated costs. Please also note that unless stated otherwise, the year-over-year comparisons are on an as-reported basis, as the prior period does not include Concord. To summarize our operational results for the quarter, we recorded 5,300 total new student starts, reflecting 5.3% year-over-year growth for UTI, or 3,333 total starts and 1,967 Concord starts. For Concord, starts were in line with our expectations, with core starts growing year-over-year in the quarter, driven primarily by the Medical Assisting program, while clinical starts were down primarily due to program start phasing versus the prior year quarter. Similar to the UTI division, Q4 is a seasonally higher start quarter for Concord, as there are larger clinical starts in both July and September versus only one larger clinical start in the other quarters. We currently expect 3,500 or more new student starts for Concord in the fourth quarter, compared to the roughly 2,000 starts we saw in both the second and third quarters of this year. For fiscal 2023, on a pro forma basis, both core and clinical starts are projected to grow approximately 3% year-over-year. UTI's division start performance was above our expectations. We are proud of the team delivering the first quarter of same-store start growth since the third quarter of last year. The majority of UTI campuses showed same-store start growth in the quarter, and we expect further same-store improvements and overall double-digit UTI start growth in the fourth quarter. We continued to see higher start performance among local UTI students. We also saw improvements versus prior quarters among relocating students as a result of the grant programs and our overall focus on enhanced support and engagement with these students. The growth also reflects our success with starting more high school students in June, which we made good progress on last year and which contributed more significantly this year. Moving to our financial performance, third quarter revenue on a consolidated basis increased 51.8% to $153.3 million, driven by the $52.4 million contribution from Concord. UTI revenue was $100.9 million, roughly flat year-over-year. UTI saw higher revenue per student in the quarter versus the prior year, which was offset by lower average undergraduate full-time students. Note that for both divisions, the third quarter is typically a lower revenue quarter from a seasonal perspective. From a profitability standpoint, the consolidated net loss for the quarter was $0.5 million, with diluted loss per share of $0.05, and adjusted net income was $2 million. Shares outstanding as of the end of the quarter were 34.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $11.4 million, including a $4 million contribution from Concord. We have outperformed our initial expectations on profitability each quarter this year, mainly due to Concord revenue phasing and diligent expense management across both divisions and our corporate team. Profitability declines versus the prior year are a result of previous quarter same-store start declines in the UTI campuses that we are now seeing turn positive. UTI division growth investments in new campuses and programs, and in admissions and marketing resources, all of which have begun yielding positive returns, and also Concord integration costs and corporate costs as we scale the company in support of our growth and diversification strategy. Note that we also have a higher effective tax rate year-over-year as a result of the valuation allowance reversal last year, and the impact of certain discrete items this year. Total available cash liquidity at the end of the quarter was $110.5 million. We have $8.2 million of remaining revolver capacity. Total debt was approximately $163 million, while net debt was approximately $52 million, for a net leverage ratio of less than one. Our year-to-date operating cash flow was -$4.7 million. Adjusted free cash flow was -$1.6 million. While operating cash flow is down year-over-year, primarily due to working capital timing, adjusted free cash flow is $1.4 million better than the prior year. The fourth quarter is a seasonally strong quarter for cash generation, which we expect again this year in support of achieving our adjusted free cash flow guidance. Year-to-date total capital expenditures were $48.8 million, a 30% decrease relative to the comparable period a year ago. This includes the $26 million purchase of the three primary buildings and associated land at the UTI, Orlando, Florida, campus in March. The other main drivers of CapEx year to date are the completion of the UTI, Austin, and Miramar campus build-outs, and the ongoing UTI and Concord program expansion efforts. CapEx for the fourth quarter will primarily be driven by the program expansions across both divisions. For the year, we expect total CapEx of $60 million or less. Turning to our fiscal 2023 guidance, based on the robust year-to-date performance and current visibility into the fourth quarter, we are revising our financial guidance ranges as follows: For revenue, we are tightening the range to $602 million-$605 million, which is above the midpoint of our $595 million-$610 million prior range. For the divisions, we expect Concord will be at or slightly above the high end of the previous expected revenue range of $170 million-$175 million, and we continue to expect low single-digit revenue growth for UTI. We are raising our adjusted EBITDA expectations from the prior range of $58 million-$62 million, to a new range of $62 million-$64 million. For adjusted net income, we are raising the prior range of $14 million-$18 million, to a new range of $17 million-$20 million. For adjusted free cash flow, we are raising the range to $44 million-$46 million, versus the prior range of $40 million-$45 million. Alongside the updated financial expectations, we are reiterating our previously disclosed fiscal 2023 total new student start guidance with an expected range of between 22,000 and 23,500. As Jerome mentioned earlier, our total starts are currently tracking towards the middle of this range. For the Concord division, we expect starts at or slightly above the upper end of their 7,500-8,000 range. For the UTI Division, we continue to anticipate starts to be at the low end of their 14,500-15,500 range, which represents approximately 8% year-over-year growth. We encourage everyone to review our press release, financial supplement, and investor presentation, as these materials include the most current consolidated and segment details for our actual results, our strategic roadmap, and our guidance, including our non-GAAP reconciliation tables. In closing, I'm confident in our team's ability to finish the fiscal year on a positive note and to carry that momentum forward into 2024. I would like to express my continued appreciation for our students, team, and partners for their support as we execute on our strategic goals. I'll now turn the call back over to Jerome for closing remarks. Thank you, Troy. To reiterate, the third quarter results reflect sustained strong performance this year and give us confidence to raise our expectations for the year and to reiterate our projected view of 2024. I'll quickly recap divisional areas of focus as we move further into the fourth quarter. Starting with Concord, we will continue to execute on integration and stay on track with this process. In conjunction with these activities, we'll also work to launch 6 planned new programs over the coming months and into fiscal 2024, which could begin as early as September. As for our UTI division, we will complete the 14 program rollouts in the fourth quarter on the heels of our first set of July launches, with the remaining programs set to launch across this month into next. We'll also work to further scale and drive enrollment growth at Austin and Miramar, to maintain same-store growth across our campus footprint. Our ongoing execution puts us on solid footing as we move further into the fourth quarter and close out this fiscal year, our work to reinforce our divisional operating model allows us to continue to crystallize the strategic roadmap for our combined company. I'm proud of our progress to date, we remain confident in our strategic trajectory through and beyond the end of this fiscal year. I'd now like to turn the call over to the operator for Q&A. Operator? Yes, thank you. At this time, we will begin the Q&A session. To ask a question, you may press star, then 1 on your touchtone phone. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. To withdraw your question, please press star, then At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble the roster. Today's first question comes from Steve Frankel with Rosenblatt. Good afternoon, congratulations on the improvement in starts at UTI. Just wondering, Jerome, if we could get some insight into where do you think prospective students are relative to those inflationary headwinds that, that seem to be holding people back over the last couple of quarters? Do you think with lower gas prices, we've worked through some of that, or is it the increased grants that's able to get people over the hump? Please hold the line. We are attempting to reconnect the speakers. One moment, please. Okay, we have connected- Hello? Can you hear us? Yes. Did you hear my question, or should I start over, Jerome? Steve, I, Steve, I heard the question. I'm sorry, I started talking and, and it's, we had some technical difficulties. Thanks for coming. I think the, the, the answer is a little bit of both. We have seen some moderation in, in people's posture about relocating around the country. I think people have normalized around some prices that are, that are starting to moderate. It, it is undeniable that the enhanced support programs that we put into place to help people relocate, get them over the hump until they, they find jobs in market, which is a, a dedicated plan of ours for anyone who, who relocates, to quickly get them jobs in field, in market, is, is, is also moving the needle. It, it's, it's not a, it's not a definitive one or the other. I think, I think a little bit of both are, are at hand here. Okay, any particular trend changes around what programs people are finding more attractive on the UTI side? No, I, I think, we're very, very happy with the interest we're seeing in the 14, the 14 programs we're starting. You know, specifically around, I think there's a lot of excitement around both HVAC and, and Aviation. Those are, are, are doing very, very well from a, a, a lead and excitement perspective. I think there's a, a pent-up need in the markets that we're starting to market in, in, in those, in, in those areas. You know, we're, we're seeing, you know, across the board, I mean, one of the things about both UTI and Concord is that we really only focus in high in-demand areas, right? You know, we haven't seen any, any, big changes across the landscape in terms of demand because the need is so strong in every one of those markets. Okay, then on Concord, you know, the integration seems to be going well. Is for the year where we see focus on margin ramp in addition to keeping the flywheel of new admissions going well? Yeah, I mean, a couple of things. Number one, we've got to give all the credit in the world to Jamie and her team. Often, when you're going through a large-scale integration like this, people lose sight of, of the moving forward and, and get mired down in some of the integration things. I think she's done a great job of navigating her team forward, and thus, we're seeing the results in their starts and in their persistence and revenue per student and all the, all the rest of that. Employment rates are all, all, you know, in, in great shape, so great for keeping them on track. We're now sort of moving from the phase of what we said were the initial phase of the integration, which was taking a private company and bringing it up to public company standards, SOX requirements, controls, organizational structure around the, the supporting elements. As we, as we turn our attention to more of the operational aspects of it, that's where we would see, you know, synergy and margin expansion start to appear as we move into 2024. Great. Thank you so much. I'll jump back in the queue. Thanks, Steve. Thank you. The next question comes from Raj Sharma with B. Riley. Hi, thank you for taking my question. Congratulations on consistent good results, second quarter, in two quarters in a row. Could you comment on the starts and the, the breakdown at UTI, among high schoolers and young adults, and if certain programs had better starts than others? If geographically, are you seeing any sort of differences? Yeah. Hi, Raj, this is Troy, and thanks for the question and for joining the call. You know, in our financial supplement, we have a table in there on the new student starts by channel. That's total starts, all in, including existing campuses and the new campuses. You can see high school has been really actually shown pretty good growth for several quarters now, a little bit flat last quarter, but pretty strong. This quarter, 16%, same store was also strong. High school actually had a really good quarter. I mentioned the June efforts to have more high school students start in June, which we put a lot of energy behind last year, and we continued those efforts this year and saw even better progress on that. We, we've also seen, you know, good traction, again, local and relo, as Jerome was just commenting on in the prior question. We saw improvements in, in both of those. I think, you know, overall, we saw just a really solid quarter step change improvement. If you look at the, the trends overall, I mean, UTI has been after a down quarter in Q4 of 2022, was, was marginal growth, 4% and 5% this quarter, we're calling for double-digit growth next quarter. We're on, we're on an accelerating trend. Certainly, the new program launches will be helping that. One program that didn't get mentioned before, but I think there's mentioning is welding is also a strong program for us, where we're really maxing out on welding, and that does tend to be a more local program. As we continue to drive a better traction in the local markets around our communities, welding and HVAC, Jerome mentioned, those are, those are the kind of programs that really do attract off the local community. Thank you for that. On the starts, I know you're launching more programs in Q3, Q4 at UTI, the start guidance, there is not much of a change. Is that correct? Are these program launches included, or how much of a impact do you think you can get in starts from the new program launches in Q3 and Q4? Yeah, the new program launches were in our plans from the very beginning. They were in our initial guidance. We've mentioned some of the approval delays that we did have to shift some start dates out later in the year, which is part of the reason why we guided UTI down to the lower end of the range, not all of it, but the reload pressure contributing there as well. Expectation-wise, we're in line with what we expected, with that we announced last quarter. Everything is tracking well. If anything, Concord's coming in a bit better, at the high end or slightly above the high end of their range. Overall, we feel really good about our total range of 22,000- 23,500, and they're tracking very solidly to the middle of that range. Got it. That's very helpful. Just lastly, just wanted to see what the... Are you seeing a change in the interest in the program sort of pick up across the different campuses? You know, unemployment is still low. You're certainly exhibiting more confidence in your starts. Any sort of change in numbers and interest in shore rates, in, in the financial aid that— Yeah ... handed out? That's, that's great. I think, I think if, you know, if you go quarter to quarter, I think the biggest stories around what's gaining confidence and comfortably standing into the middle of the range that we gave is, number one, we're making progress with the relocating students. Both, you know, their sentiments about- ... overcoming the adversity of inflation on, on their own and the enhanced grant packages that we're giving it. That tends to, to favor auto, diesel, motorcycle, marine, and Aviation as from a program standpoint, because those tend to be the programs that travel the most, as opposed to HVAC, welding. The healthcare programs are all very, very, very local. You know, the, the movement we've seen both in student attitudes and reactions to the support packages that we put into place gives us a, a, you know, a, a great deal of confidence in, in moving in, in that direction. As, as far as show rates, I think, well, one of the things we've done is a great job of reorienting our financial aid package, packagers to move quicker, and then also to focus, you know, immediate attention on local students who can, who can engage right away without thinking about relocating or thinking about, you know, 3, 4, or 5 weeks from now. Our start cadence is actually moving up in terms of the number of students who are starting quicker, which is helping helping our start rates as, as well. If I were really pointing at a couple of those sort of macro phenomenon for the third quarter that we're... You know, remember, we've only got about six weeks left here now in the fourth quarter, so we've got really good sight into the last couple of big starts that we've got as we move through the fourth quarter. What we're seeing is, you know, improvement in the throughput in our packaging and financial aid process and our employment process, by the way, for also our local and relocating students. You know, and we're seeing that the combination of enhanced grant packages and student attitudes are helping our relocation students. Those would probably be the biggest drivers. Yeah, Raj, I would add one other thing. The, across our campus footprint, the legacy campus footprint, same store, you know, I mentioned that the majority of the campuses showed growth. I wanna be clear, that same store, same program. We're separating out the new program impacts when we're quoting that statistic. We just- we saw good performance across the majority of our footprint, and definite improvements from Q2 to Q3. Got it. Great. Thank you. I'll, I'll take my questions offline. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Once again, please press Star, then 1 if you would like to ask a question. The next question comes from Eric Martinuzzi with Lake Street. Yeah, the, the upward revision, definitely good to see there on the adjusted EBITDA. Just curious, I mean, the, the revenue is relatively in line with what you were expecting 90 days ago. I, I realize you've tightened the range a little bit, but what's behind me, the better adjusted EBITDA, that, that new midpoint is that, was just kind of conservatism on maybe some of the costs that you were looking at as you entered the year, or, just a layer deeper on the upward revision to the adjusted EBITDA? Yeah, sure. Thanks. Thanks, Eric. The on the revenue side, just to dispose of that quickly, we, we did shift that midpoint up, so that new range is tighter and in the upper, upper portion of the original range. On the profitability side, both adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, which then flowed into the adjusted free cash flow. We do have some better expense performance. If you remember our original, adjusted EBITDA guidance, the beginning of the year, I said about half of it would be in the fourth quarter, we would be down the first three quarters. In fact, we've been flat through the first three quarters, and have delivered, roughly, roughly three quarters of that, 70% of that adjusted EBITDA number. The phasing has played out differently than we expected. Again, we had a, a, a phasing revenue recognition change on, on Concorde, that redistributed revenue over the year. Didn't change the total view, but redistributed over the year, how that would be recognized, which flowed through into profitability, and then just, just very diligent expense management as we've been rolling out these programs, launching the new campuses, making sure we're not getting too far ahead of, of the spend needed, to bring in those initial cohorts and to support the students we have, and just continuing to drive efficiency across our larger campus footprint. Okay. Then the end-user demand, I, I imagine, you know, employers are still aggressively hiring your graduates here. Any new employer partner initiatives that you're seeing, either on the UTI side or the Concord side, th at tees us up for FY 2024? I, I don't know that there's... I mean, we're, we're constantly building more relationships, and we have a dedicated team. We have local campus teams, and we have a national team, who are building relationships constantly. A local relationship may be established, but then there's a larger play there, either a regional or national play, and then we expand upon that. Of course, with our new program launches, we are building new relationships in Aviation and HVAC and, and wind, all of those areas, robotics. That's an opportunity to build more relationships. We're speaking to some of the major airlines. Now that we have a national footprint, we'll have five programs on the Aviation side across the country, that will give us a nice footprint to partner with some of the, the larger airlines. There's, there's just constant activity there. We continue to build, build that book, and, and with that, our tuition reimbursement programs and, and incentive programs for our students, and also looking at, at other potential, MSAT or partnering programs from a curriculum perspective. Yeah, I think, Eric, one, one quick point on that, which is, you know, rather than forging, you know, exclusive agreements with any specific large-scale employer in any given market, what we've been focusing on is giving our students the largest opportunity to gain the best ROI from the education that they get from UTI. An example of that was, you know, just three or four short years ago, our, our TRIP agreements, which is actually the formalized way an employer would engage with us. Our TRIP agreements were somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,500 employers around the country. Now we top 6,000. The point is, is that what we've been, what we've been pushing on in every local market is getting, you know, organized, codified, offers in front of our students to make sure that they can make the best decisions about, you know, the, the, both the work environment, the career trajectory, and the, the salaries and benefits that, that they're getting. We're really proud of having that, you know, strong connection point between every local market and our students. Got it. Thanks. Congrats on the quarter. Thanks, Eric. Thank you, Eric. Thank you. This concludes the question and answer session. I would like to turn the floor to Jerome Grant for any closing comments. Thank you, operator, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. That'll conclude our call. We look forward to answering any of your questions over the next couple of days in our private sessions, and we'll talk to you again in three months. Have a great day. Thank you. As mentioned, the conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation, and you now disconnect your line.
