According to the complaint, during the class period Defendants misled investors concerning Bridgepoint's revenue and expense recognition practices.
On March 7, 2019, Defendants announced investors should no longer rely on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and disclosed "the Company identified errors, relating to revenue, provision for bad debts, accounts receivable and deferred revenue, which resulted in the overstatement of revenue and expenses."
This news drove the price of Bridgepoint Education shares down $3.21, or down over 34%, to close at $6.22 that day.
On March 12, 2019, Defendants filed Bridgepoint's amended financial statements for the periods containing restatements of balance sheet and income statement data.
"We're focused on investors' losses, admitted improper accounting, whether the so-called "errors" were in fact "irregularities," and the extent to which Defendants may have misled investors," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.
