Learning Tree International (NASDAQ: LTRE) announced today its revenues and results of operations for its third quarter of fiscal year 2014, which ended June 27, 2014.

In its third quarter of fiscal year 2014, Learning Tree reported revenues of $28.8 million, loss from operations of $2.7 million, and net loss of $2.7 million or ($0.21) per share. These results compare with revenues of $29.0 million, loss from operations of $1.0 million and net loss of $1.1 million, or ($0.08) per share in its third quarter of fiscal year 2013.

“Revenues in our third quarter of fiscal 2014 were relatively consistent with those of the same quarter of our prior year. The increase in our operating loss and net loss for our third quarter this year compared to the same quarter last year was largely the result of several one-time, non-recurring items,” said Learning Tree President, Max Shevitz. “These included certain restructuring and severance charges this year, in contrast with the reversal of a non-recurring charge in our third quarter of our prior fiscal year. Together, these one-time items account for approximately $1.5 million of the increase in operating loss quarter over quarter.”
