Bright Horizons Family Solutions Reports Third Quarter of 2022 Financial Results
NEWTON, MA - (BUSINESS WIRE) - November 1, 2022 - Bright Horizons Family Solutions® Inc. (NYSE: BFAM), a leading provider of high-quality education and care solutions designed to help employers support employees across life and career stages, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022 and updated financial guidance for 2022.
Third Quarter 2022 Highlights (compared to Third Quarter 2021):
Revenue of $540 million (increase of 17%)
Income from operations of $39 million (decrease of 15%)
Net income of $18 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.31 (decreases of 32% and 30%, respectively)
Non-GAAP measures
Adjusted income from operations* of $46 million (decrease of 1%)
Adjusted EBITDA* of $81 million (increase of 2%)
Adjusted net income* of $38 million and diluted adjusted earnings per common share* of $0.66 (decrease of 1% and increase of 3%, respectively)
“I am pleased with the progress we made in the third quarter,” said Stephen Kramer, Chief Executive Officer. “We saw solid growth in all our lines of business. We expanded our footprint, increased enrollment year-over-year, delivered a record number of traditional back-up care sessions, and supported more adult learners in their pursuit of higher education.”
“While we continue to navigate through this dynamic operating environment, I remain encouraged by the underlying trends we see across our business. I believe we have the right action plans in place that will allow us to navigate the current environment while executing on our long-term strategic initiatives.”
Third Quarter 2022 Results
Revenue increased $79.9 million, or 17%, in the third quarter of 2022 from the third quarter of 2021, primarily attributable to the acquisition of approximately 75 centers in Australia, enrollment gains at our existing centers, as well as expanded sales and utilization of back-up care and educational advisory services. These contributions were partially offset by lower foreign currency exchange rates for our United Kingdom and Netherlands operations.
Income from operations was $39.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $46.0 million for the third quarter of 2021, representing a 15% decrease. The decrease in income from operations reflects reduced gross profit contributions in the full service center-based child care segment arising from increased labor costs and acquisition-related transaction costs, partially offset by contributions from the back-up care and educational advisory services segments. Net income was $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $26.8 million for the third quarter of 2021, a decrease of 32%, due to the decrease in income from operations noted above and a higher effective tax rate. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.31 for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $0.44 for the third quarter of 2021.
In the third quarter of 2022, adjusted EBITDA* increased $1.5 million, or 2%, to $80.6 million, and adjusted income from operations* decreased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $45.7 million from the third quarter of 2021, due primarily to increased utilization of back-up and educational advisory services, offset by increased labor costs in the full service center-based child care segment. Adjusted net income* decreased $0.6 million, or 1%, to $38.1 million, due to the decrease in income from operations and a higher effective tax rate. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share* was $0.66 for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $0.64 for the same period in 2021.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had more than 1,350 client relationships with employers across a diverse array of industries, and operated 1,081 early education and child care centers with the capacity to serve approximately 120,000 children and their families, of which 99% were open.
*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 at times, non-recurring costs, such as loss on foreign currency forward contracts and transaction costs. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before non-recurring costs, such as transaction costs. Adjusted net income represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, and non-recurring costs, such as loss on foreign currency forward contracts and transaction costs, and the income tax provision (benefit) thereon. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share is a non-GAAP measure, 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 September 30, 2022, Bright Horizons had $33 million of cash and cash equivalents and $282 million available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated approximately $131.0 million of cash from operations, compared to $185.2 million for the same period in 2021, and made investments in acquisitions, fixed assets, and other investments totaling $250.9 million, compared to $62.7 million for the same period in the prior year.
2022 Updated Outlook
Based on current trends and expectations, we have updated 2022 guidance and we currently expect fiscal year 2022 revenue to be $2.0 billion and diluted adjusted earnings per common share to be in the range of $2.60 to $2.65. 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, our investments, impact of our services, our market position, business trends, our future opportunities and business model, our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, enrollment and occupancy levels, long-term growth strategy and value, estimated effective tax rate and tax expense and benefits, our care solutions, quality and expanded service offerings, our ability to respond to changing demands, contributions from acquisitions, our future business and financial performance, and our updated 2022 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; the overall macroeconomic environment, including the impact of inflation and interest rate fluctuations; 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 25, 2022, 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 excess (shortfall) income tax benefits (expense), 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, please see the reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures in the attached table “Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”

(a)Amortization of intangible assets represents amortization expense, including quarterly amortization expense of approximately $5.0 million associated with intangible assets recorded in connection with our going private transaction in May 2008.
(b)Stock-based compensation expense represents non-cash stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.
(c)Other costs represent transaction costs incurred in connection with acquisitions.
(d)During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts for the purchase of Australian dollars to satisfy the purchase price of an acquisition completed July 1, 2022. The Company entered into the foreign currency forwards to lock the purchase price in US dollars at closing and mitigate the impact of any foreign currency fluctuations. A loss of $5.9 million resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency rates was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 in relation to these contracts.
(e)Interest on deferred consideration represents the imputed interest on the deferred consideration issued in connection with the July 1, 2022 acquisition of Only About Children, a child care operator in Australia.
(f)Adjusted income tax expense represents income tax expense calculated on adjusted income before income tax at an effective tax rate of approximately 27% and 26% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and of approximately 22% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The tax rate for 2022 represents a tax rate of approximately 28% applied to the expected adjusted income before income tax, less the estimated effect of excess (shortfall) tax benefit (expense) related to equity transactions. However, the jurisdictional mix of the expected adjusted income before income tax for the full year, and the timing and volume of the tax benefits (expense) associated with future equity activity will affect these estimates and the estimated effective tax rate for the year.
