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 2024 and updated financial guidance for 2024.
Second Quarter 2024 Highlights (compared to Second Quarter
2023):
- Revenue of $670 million (increase of 11%)
- Income from operations of $69 million (increase of 52%)
- Net income of $39 million and diluted earnings per common share
of $0.67 (increases of 90% and 91%, respectively)
Non-GAAP financial measures
- Adjusted EBITDA* of $103 million (increase of 25%)
- Adjusted income from operations* of $69 million (increase of
52%)
- Adjusted net income* of $51 million and diluted adjusted
earnings per common share* of $0.88 (increases of 39% and 38%,
respectively)
“We had a strong second quarter of 2024,” said Stephen Kramer,
Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to execute well and
delivered solid top and bottom-line growth in the quarter,
highlighted by 11% full-service revenue growth, 15% back-up care
revenue growth and 38% adjusted EPS growth. With the strong
first-half results and the positive momentum we see in our
business, we are increasing our full-year outlook for both revenue
and adjusted EPS.”
Second Quarter 2024 Results
Revenue increased by $66.8 million, or 11%, in the second
quarter of 2024 from the second quarter of 2023, due to enrollment
gains and tuition price increases at our centers, as well as
increased utilization of back-up care services.
Income from operations was $69.1 million for the second quarter
of 2024 compared to $45.5 million for the second quarter of 2023,
an increase of 52%. The increase in income from operations is
primarily related to incremental gross profit contributions
resulting from enrollment growth and improving operating leverage
in our full service center-based child care segment, as well as
higher utilization of back-up care services in our back-up care
segment. These contributions were partially offset by a decrease of
$9.3 million in funding received from pandemic-related government
support programs and incremental overhead costs to support expanded
service delivery. Net income was $39.2 million for the second
quarter of 2024 compared to $20.6 million for the second quarter of
2023, an increase of 90%, due to the increase in income from
operations noted above, as well as a lower effective tax rate.
Diluted earnings per common share was $0.67 for the second quarter
of 2024 compared to $0.35 for the second quarter of 2023.
In the second quarter of 2024, adjusted EBITDA* increased by
$20.7 million, or 25%, to $102.6 million, and adjusted income from
operations* increased by $23.5 million, or 52%, to $69.1 million
from the second quarter of 2023, due primarily to the increase in
gross profit in the full service center-based child care segment.
Adjusted net income* increased by $14.5 million, or 39%, to $51.3
million, as a result of the increase in adjusted income from
operations. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share* was $0.88
for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $0.64 for the second
quarter of 2023.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company operated 1,032 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, such as value-added
tax expense related to prior periods and at times, other
non-recurring costs, such as 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, such as value-added tax expense
related to prior periods and at times, other non-recurring costs,
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, such as value-added tax expense related to
prior periods, interest on deferred consideration, and the income
tax provision (benefit) thereon, and at times, other non-recurring
costs, such as transaction costs and impairment costs. 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, 2024, the Company had $140.2 million of cash and
cash equivalents and $389.8 million available for borrowing under
our revolving credit facility. In the six months ended June 30,
2024, we generated $225.8 million of cash from operations, compared
to $180.0 million for the same period in 2023, and made net
investments totaling $64.1 million, compared to $68.7 million for
the same period in the prior year. Additionally, during the six
months ended June 30, 2024, the Company paid deferred and
contingent consideration related to acquisitions, including $106.5
million related to its 2022 acquisition of Only About Children, a
child care operator in Australia.
2024 Outlook
Based on current trends and expectations, we currently expect
fiscal year 2024 revenue to be in the range of $2.65 billion to
$2.7 billion and diluted adjusted earnings per common share to be
in the range of $3.30 to $3.40. 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 and occupancy levels, back-up care utilization,
long-term growth strategy, estimated effective tax rate, tax
expense, our future business and financial performance, and our
2024 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 and impact of government
child care benefit programs; our ability to respond to changing
client and customer needs; 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; impacts to our
brand or reputation; 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, 2024, 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.”
