    Bright Horizons Family Solutions® Inc. (NYSE:BFAM) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2025 and provided updated financial guidance for 2025. Bright Horizons is a leading provider of high-quality early education and child care, family care solutions, and workforce education services designed to support working families and client employees across life and career stages.

    Second Quarter 2025 Highlights (compared to Second Quarter 2024):

    • Revenue of $732 million (increase of 9%)
    • Income from operations of $86 million (increase of 25%)
    • Net income of $55 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.95 (increases of 40% and 42%, respectively)

    Non-GAAP financial measures

    • Adjusted EBITDA* of $116 million (increase of 13%)
    • Adjusted income from operations* of $86 million (increase of 25%)
    • Adjusted net income* of $62 million and diluted adjusted earnings per common share* of $1.07 (increases of 20% and 22%, respectively)

    "We generated strong results this quarter, driven by disciplined execution and a continued focus on delivering high-quality education and care," said Stephen Kramer, Chief Executive Officer. "Our client relationships are a core strength of our model and the continued increase in usage of our services by client employees underpins the growth of our impact and financial performance."

    Second Quarter 2025 Results

    Revenue increased by $61.5 million, or 9%, to $731.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 from the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to enrollment gains and tuition price increases at our centers, as well as increased utilization of back-up care.

    Income from operations was $86.1 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $69.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 25%. The increase in income from operations is primarily related to incremental gross profit contributions resulting from higher utilization of services in our back-up care segment, as well as enrollment growth in our full service center-based child care segment. Net income was $54.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $39.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, an increase of 40%, due to the increase in income from operations noted above, lower interest expense and a lower effective tax rate. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.95 for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $0.67 for the second quarter of 2024.

    In the second quarter of 2025, adjusted EBITDA* increased by $13.0 million, or 13%, to $115.6 million, and adjusted income from operations* increased by $17.0 million, or 25%, to $86.1 million from the second quarter of 2024, due to increased contributions from both the back-up care segment and full service center-based child care segment. Adjusted net income* increased by $10.2 million, or 20%, to $61.5 million, as a result of the increase in adjusted income from operations and lower interest expense. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share* was $1.07 for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $0.88 for the second quarter of 2024.

    As of June 30, 2025, the Company operated 1,020 early education and child care centers with the capacity to serve approximately 115,000 children.

    *Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), which are commonly referred to as "non-GAAP financial measures." Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA (which is net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and amortization) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense and non-recurring costs, as applicable, such as debt refinancing costs, transaction costs and impairment costs. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude non-recurring costs, as applicable, such as transaction costs and impairment costs. Adjusted net income represents net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring costs, as applicable, such as debt refinancing costs, transaction costs, impairment costs, and the income tax provision (benefit) thereon. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share is calculated using adjusted net income. These non-GAAP financial measures are more fully described and are reconciled from the respective measures determined under GAAP in "Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and the attached table "Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations," respectively.

    Balance Sheet and Liquidity

    At June 30, 2025, the Company had $179.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $483.3 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. In the six months ended June 30, 2025, we generated $220.4 million of cash from operations, compared to $225.8 million for the same period in 2024, and made net investments totaling $38.0 million, compared to $64.1 million for the same period in the prior year.

    2025 Outlook

    Based on current trends and expectations, we currently expect fiscal year 2025 revenue to be in the range of $2.9 billion to $2.92 billion and diluted adjusted earnings per common share to be in the range of $4.15 to $4.25. The Company will provide additional information on its outlook during its earnings conference call.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release includes forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's actual results may vary significantly from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements, which can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "projects," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "estimates" or "anticipates," or, in each case, their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts, including statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, operating expectations, execution and delivery of our services and solutions, business trends, our future growth opportunities, enrollment levels, back-up care use, long-term growth strategy, estimated effective tax rate, tax expense, our future business and financial performance, client relationships, use and impact of our services, and our 2025 financial guidance. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. The Company believes that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in the demand for child care, dependent care and other workplace solutions, including variations in enrollment trends and lower than expected demand from employer sponsor clients as well as variations in workforce demographics and work environments; the constrained labor market for teachers and staff and ability to hire and retain talent, including the impact of increased compensation and labor costs; the availability or lack of government support programs, and the impact of available government child care benefit programs; our ability to respond to changing client and customer needs; competition in our industry, the possibility that acquisitions may disrupt our operations and expose us to additional risk; our ability to pass on our increased costs; our indebtedness and the terms of such indebtedness; our ability to withstand seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our services; our ability to implement our growth strategies successfully; changes in general economic, political, business and financial market conditions and other macroeconomic events and uncertainty, including the impact of inflation and interest rate fluctuations; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; the effects of a cyber-attack, data breach or other security incident on our information technology system or software or those of our third party vendors; changes in tax rates or policies; impacts to our brand or reputation; litigation-related and insurance risks, changes in laws and regulations; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 27, 2025, and other factors disclosed from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the time of this release and we do not undertake to publicly update or revise them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

    Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP throughout this press release, the Company has provided certain non-GAAP financial measures that present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures as key performance indicators for the purpose of evaluating performance internally, and in connection with determining incentive compensation for Company management, including executive officers. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in connection with the determination of certain ratio requirements under our credit agreement. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful information with respect to our historical operations. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. The use of the terms adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share may differ from similar measures reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures.

    With respect to our outlook for diluted adjusted earnings per common share, we do not provide the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or corresponding reconciliation to such GAAP financial measure on a forward-looking basis. We are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort certain items such as the timing and amount of net excess income tax benefits, future impairments, transaction costs, and other non-recurring costs, as well as gains or losses from the early retirement of debt and the outcome from legal proceedings. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors outside our management's control, and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, our future period earnings per common share as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

    For more information regarding adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share, refer to the reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures in the attached table "Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations."
