    Bright Horizons Family Solutions® Inc. (NYSE:BFAM), 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, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2023 and updated financial guidance for 2023.

    Second Quarter 2023 Highlights (compared to Second Quarter 2022):

    • Revenue of $603 million (increase of 23%)
    • Income from operations of $46 million (decrease of 5%)
    • Net income of $21 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.35 (decreases of 17%)

    Non-GAAP measures

    • Adjusted income from operations* of $46 million (decrease of 10%)
    • Adjusted EBITDA* of $82 million (decrease of 1%)
    • Adjusted net income* of $37 million and diluted adjusted earnings per common share* of $0.64 (decreases of 13% and 10%, respectively)

    "I am pleased with our results this past quarter and for the first half of the year," said Stephen Kramer, Chief Executive Officer. "Our full service segment performed well in the second quarter, highlighted by sequential occupancy improvement and total revenue growth of 23%, along with our back-up care segment which delivered strong results with 27% revenue growth and record utilization of traditional back-up care in the month of June. While the labor market for early childhood teachers remains tight, I am encouraged by our performance and the growth opportunity we have ahead across our full suite of solutions."

    Second Quarter 2023 Results

    Revenue increased by $112.9 million, or 23%, in the second quarter of 2023 from the second quarter of 2022, attributable to enrollment gains and price increases at our existing centers, contributions from the 75 centers acquired in Australia in July 2022, as well as expanded sales and utilization of back-up care and educational advisory services.

    Income from operations was $45.5 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $47.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of 5%. Incremental gross profit contributions from the back-up care segment, resulting from higher utilization of back-up care services and from expanded sales of educational advisory services, were offset by decreased gross profit in the full service center-based child care segment as a result of operating cost increases and reduced funding from COVID-19 pandemic-related government support programs. Net income was $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $24.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of 17%, due to the decrease in income from operations noted above, as well as higher net interest expense and a higher effective tax rate. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.35 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $0.42 for the second quarter of 2022.

    In the second quarter of 2023, adjusted EBITDA* decreased by $1.2 million, or 1%, to $81.9 million, and adjusted income from operations* decreased by $4.8 million, or 10%, to $45.5 million from the second quarter of 2022, due primarily to the decrease in gross profit in the full service center-based child care segment and partially offset by contributions from the back-up care and educational advisory and other services segments. Adjusted net income* decreased by $5.3 million, or 13%, to $36.8 million, as a result of the decrease in adjusted income from operations, as well as higher net interest expense and a higher effective tax rate. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share* was $0.64 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $0.71 for the second quarter of 2022.

    As of June 30, 2023, the Company had more than 1,400 client relationships with employers across a diverse array of industries, and operated 1,068 early education and child care centers with the capacity to serve approximately 120,000 children and their families.

    *Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, and non-recurring costs, such as value-added tax expense related to prior periods, transaction costs, loss on foreign currency forward contracts and, at times, other non-recurring costs, such as impairment costs and other costs incurred due to the impact of COVID-19, and net costs incurred in relation to a cyber incident. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before non-recurring costs, such as value-added tax expense related to prior periods, transaction costs and, at times, other non-recurring costs, such as impairment costs and other costs incurred due to the impact of COVID-19, and net costs incurred in relation to a cyber incident. Adjusted net income represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization, and non-recurring costs, such as value-added tax expense related to prior periods, transaction costs, loss on foreign currency forward contracts, interest on deferred consideration and the income tax provision (benefit) thereon, and at times, other non-recurring costs, such as impairment costs and other costs incurred due to the impact of COVID-19, and net costs incurred in relation to a cyber incident. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share is calculated using adjusted net income. These non-GAAP measures are more fully described and are reconciled from the respective measures determined under GAAP in "Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures" and the attached table "Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations," respectively.

    Balance Sheet and Liquidity

    At June 30, 2023, the Company had $66.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $385.7 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we generated $180.0 million of cash from operations, compared to $125.8 million for the same period in 2022, and made net investments primarily in fixed assets and acquisitions, totaling $68.7 million, compared to $23.1 million for the same period in the prior year.

    2023 Outlook

    Based on current trends and expectations, we currently expect fiscal year 2023 revenue to be in the range of $2.35 billion to $2.4 billion, and diluted adjusted earnings per common share to be in the range of $2.70 to $2.80. 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, impact of our services, business trends, our future growth opportunities, enrollment and occupancy levels, back-up care utilization, the labor market, long-term growth strategy and value, estimated effective tax rate and tax expense and benefits related to equity transactions, our care solutions, our future business and financial performance, and our 2023 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, ongoing disruptions to our operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; the availability or lack of government support; 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 return to work protocols; 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 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, 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; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2023, 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 Measures

    In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") throughout this press release, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements - adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share - which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. The Company uses these non-GAAP 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 also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful information with respect to our historical operations. These non-GAAP 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."
