Stanford University reports FY 2014 financial results
Stanford University reported its financial results for fiscal year 2014 (FY2014), which ended Aug. 31, 2014. Consolidated net assets increased $4.1 billion, or 14 percent, to end the year at $33.8 billion. Consolidated results include the university, Stanford Health Care (formerly Stanford Hospital and Clinics) and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford.
"Stanford's consolidated FY14 financial results benefited from excellent investment performance, strong health care services revenues and generous donor support," said Randy Livingston, vice president for business affairs and chief financial officer. "Despite these solid results, Stanford is mindful of challenges on the horizon. The impact of health care reform on Stanford Medicine, declines in federal research funding and volatility in the investment markets present challenges and uncertainties."

The university's endowment rose in value by 15 percent over the past year to $21.4 billion, topping last year's previous high of $18.7 billion. Payout from the endowment increased 7 percent to $985 million in FY2014 and funded 23 percent of the university's FY2014 expenses. The endowment payout as a percentage of the beginning endowment value was 5.3 percent for FY2014.
The university ended the year with a surplus from operating activities of $214 million, compared with $165 million in the prior year.
