2022 Annual Report LU Digital

20 22 Together, Forward ANNUA L R E P OR T

Sincerely, Joseph J. Helble ’82 PRES IDENT So much has changed in the past decade, particularly in the past three years. We have seen hybrid, online and distance learning explode, both intentionally and as a result of new technologies and approaches to learning brought on by the pandemic. At the same time, we have seen both the cost and effectiveness of higher education come into question. Buoyed by a full return of our students, faculty and staff to our campus, we remain committed to preparing our students to live impactful lives in their communities, their places of employment and on the world stage. Together, we are moving forward to better position Lehigh for the next decade. In 2022, we began intensive work to develop a new strategic plan for the university, centering the planning process around four themes: Education With Purpose, the Lehigh User Experience, Research for Impact and Smart Growth. The process will help us to identify where Lehigh excels, where we should expand our research capabilities and where we can continue to innovate, all while encouraging the contributions of every member of our campus community. We are extraordinarily well positioned to tackle the challenges ahead. Our campus is expanding, most notably with an innovative new hub for interdisciplinary research—the Health, Science and Technology Building, which is designed to foster collaboration among faculty, staff and students across disciplines. We are expanding the footprint of our College of Business with a new Business Innovation Building, scheduled to open during the spring 2023 semester. We are beginning renovations to Lehigh’s most iconic building, the Clayton University Center, to create a dynamic new environment for campus life. Additionally, our faculty continue to generate new knowledge through their research to tackle the world’s complex problems, while our students generate positive changes through their leadership and other efforts. Our staff and alumni continue to infuse our Lehigh community with their expertise and engagement. As we work hard to generate new ideas through our strategic planning process, I am excited about the possibilities for the future, and I am thankful for the continued efforts of every member of our campus community. As we emerge from the pandemic and its innumerable challenges, we find ourselves at a pivotal moment in higher education, and at Lehigh. Letter from the P R E S I D E NT

In an ongoing commitment to provide its students with a vibrant and engaging learning environment, Lehigh has taken significant steps forward in myriad infrastructure projects. Lehigh is an institution that responds to change, and its buildings and how it uses them aid the university as it expands and evolves. Expanding Campus C L AY TON U N I V E R S I T Y C E N T E R AT PAC K E R H A L L The iconic structure will undergo an extensive renovation and reconfiguration that will create a dynamic new environment for undergraduate and graduate student life, while preserving the building’s historic grandeur. Plans call for reimagined spaces for dining, studying, socializing and meeting. C AM P U S P ROJ E C T S J E W I S H S T U D E N T C E N T E R Now relocated to a large, historic stone home that has been renovated, the Jewish Student Center has enough space for a kosher kitchen, dining room, student lounge and game room, study spaces, meditation room, prayer room for student-led religious services and offices for additional staff. 0 1 | L E H I G H U N I V E R S I T Y

B U S I N E S S I N NOVAT I ON B U I L D I N G The 74,000-square-foot building will add to the footprint of the Rauch Business Center and include a new Behavioral Research Lab and a new Lehigh Ventures Lab. The building will include flexible, tech-supported classrooms and collaborative meeting and project spaces for students. “ The HST Building, quite literally, eliminates walls, eliminates barriers to the kind of collaboration we think is critical for advancing research areas that are going to be a focus for Lehigh, for the country and, to some extent, the world.” – P ROVOS T N ATH AN U R BAN Lehigh’s Health, Science and Technology Building, the largest building on the Asa Packer Campus—and the largest the university has ever built—provides the most modern, up-to-date environment for interdisciplinary research on the university’s campus. The 200,000-square-foot building opened in the spring 2022 semester, with open concept labs that allow faculty, staff and student researchers across disciplines to work side by side. A pedestrian bridge connects the new building to Lehigh’s other core research facilities: Seeley-Mudd, Sinclair and Whitaker labs.

Financial Report Included in the following pages are highlights of the University’s 2021–2022 fiscal year financial results, as well as key excerpts from the University’s consolidated financial statements. Statement of Financial Position A S S E T S The largest categories within the University’s $3.1 billion asset balance are investments and capital assets. The University’s endowment fund comprises the majority of the University’s investment balance (see “Endowment Review” on page 19) and experiences growth based on donor support and investment return net of operating distributions. Significant capital projects in process or recently completed include renovations to Chandler-Ullmann Hall, the Lehigh Business Building Expansion, and continued progress on new residential housing facilities. L I A B I L I T I E S The Bonds, Loans and Notes Payable balance of $499 million comprises the largest liability balance on the consolidated financial statements. The University’s debt balance includes a diversified mix of fixed and variable rate, and taxable and tax-exempt obligations. In support of the tax-exempt debt portfolio, the University has entered into interest rate exchange agreements that effectively minimize the variable rate exposure and/or reduce the University’s effective interest rate. In fiscal year 2021–2022, the University’s balance sheet also includes a $44.4 million asset (in Property, Plant and Equipment) and corresponding liability (in Other Liabilities) relating to the SouthSide Commons residential facility that is operated by a third party under the terms of a ground lease. N E T A S S E T S The University’s Net Assets balance of over $2.4 billion is classified as “with donor restrictions” or “without donor restrictions” in accordance with accounting standards. Net assets without donor restrictions are free of donor restrictions but may be designated for specific purposes by action of the Board of Trustees or senior management. Net assets with donor restrictions include net assets with donor-imposed restrictions that may be met by actions of the University or by the passage of time as well as net assets that are subject to permanent donor restrictions. Donors of these assets generally permit the University to use all or part of the investment income on related investments for general or specific purposes in accordance with a Board-approved spending policy. Statement of Activities O P E R AT I N G R E V E N U E S Net Tuition Revenue and Investment Return comprise the two largest sources of unrestricted operating revenue, representing 56% and 22% of the consolidated total in fiscal year 2021–2022. Tuition and fee revenue is reported net of related scholarships. Operating Investment Return includes $70.4 million of distributed earnings from the University endowment fund. The University’s policy for the distribution of endowment earnings is based on a three-year moving average market value that includes a ceiling and floor to insulate program spending from significant market fluctuations. While the $70.4 million of distributed earnings from the university endowment must be used according to the specified purpose of each fund, the payout touches all areas of the university and demonstrates the ongoing commitment to financial aid with more than 46 percent of the university's donor restricted endowment designated for scholarships and fellowships. In fiscal year 2021–2022, institutional financial aid was provided to more than 50 percent of undergraduate students, with an average need-based aid award of just over $49,313. O P E R AT I N G E X P E N S E The University continues to manage its expenses responsibly, aligning institutional resources from all sources to support its mission of education, research and public service. Salaries and benefits comprise approximately one-half of the University’s annual operating expense. NONO P E R AT I N G AC T I V I T Y Nonoperating activity includes transactions of a long-term investment nature or that indirectly relate to core activities. Examples include contributions restricted for campus improvements, contributions restricted because of donorimposed stipulations, income and expense resulting from certain fair-value adjustments, and investment returns from endowment net of earnings distributed for operations. 1 7 | L E H I G H U N I V E R S I T Y

Endowment Fund Growth History The Endowment declined -2.7% for fiscal year 2021–2022, net of all fees. While the public equity asset class generated negative performance consistent with the precipitous decline in equity markets, we were able to offset losses with significant positive performance across the real estate, absolute return, and private equity asset classes. The real estate portfolio was the top performing asset class, generating a +22% return through both meaningful rental growth and higher sales prices. The absolute return portfolio generated an +11% return with consistent positive performance across hedge funds, private credit and opportunistic strategies. The private equity portfolio generated an +8% return with positive performance across venture, growth equity and buyout strategies, despite write-downs to capture the multiple compression and overall negative market environment.
