“We are pleased to report strong financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2019,” said Stephen Kramer, Chief Executive Officer. “Our solid financial results in 2019 reflect the positive momentum across our business and the results from recent investments we have made in our people and systems to strengthen our market position.”
“As we look ahead to 2020 and beyond, we believe we are well positioned to deliver on our growth plans,” added Mr. Kramer. “Equally important, I am especially honored by the recent recognition we received from Bloomberg, Forbes and Fortune Magazine as leaders in creating inclusive workplaces for all of our employees. These awards help create real business value, validate our unique culture and reputation, and demonstrate to our clients the values of the Bright Horizons Family.”
Fourth Quarter 2019 Results
Revenue increased $42.4 million, or 9%, in the fourth quarter of 2019 from the fourth quarter of 2018 on contributions from new and ramping full-service child care centers, average price increases of 3-4%, expanded sales of our back-up care and educational advisory services, and acquisitions.
Income from operations was $67.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, an increase from $63.7 million in the same 2018 period. Increases in revenue and gross profit reflect contributions from enrollment gains in new and ramping centers, as well as back-up care and educational advisory clients that have increased utilization levels or been added since the fourth quarter of 2018 and efficiencies in service delivery across the expanding customer base. These gains were partially offset by investments in marketing and technology to support our end-user experience, and costs incurred during the pre-opening and ramp-up phase of newer lease/consortium centers. Net income was $47.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to net income of $46.7 million in the same 2018 period, an increase of $1.1 million, or 2%, attributable to the expanded income from operations, and offset by a higher effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2019. The tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 included a one-time benefit related to the finalization of tax positions for foreign tax filings. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.81 for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $0.79 in the fourth quarter of 2018.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, adjusted EBITDA increased $7.1 million, or 8%, to $100.4 million, and adjusted income from operations increased $3.7 million, or 6%, to $67.4 million from the fourth quarter of 2018 due primarily to the expanded gross profit. Adjusted net income increased by $6.3 million, or 12%, to $59.5 million on the expanded income from operations. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share was $1.01 compared to $0.90 in the fourth quarter of 2018.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company had more than 1,150 client relationships with employers across a diverse array of industries, and operated 1,084 child care and early education 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, the excess of lease expense over cash lease expense, stock-based compensation expense, and transaction costs. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before transaction costs. Adjusted net income represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, transaction costs, and the income tax expense (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.”
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company generated approximately $330.4 million of cash flow from operations compared to $294.7 million for the same period in 2018, and invested $189.1 million in fixed assets, acquisitions, and other investments compared to $158.5 million for the same period in 2018. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $149.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $134.2 million for the same period in 2018. The Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $27.9 million at December 31, 2019, an increase of $12.4 million during the year.
2020 Outlook
As described below, the Company is providing certain financial guidance. For the full year 2020, the Company currently expects:
- Revenue growth in 2020 in the range of 8%-10%
- Net income in the range of $201 million to $204 million and diluted earnings per common share in the range of $3.41 to $3.45

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 and growth prospects and plans, our market position, estimated effective tax rate and tax expense, estimates and impact of equity transactions and excess tax benefits, our investments, estimated occupancy costs, and our 2020 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 variation in enrollment trends and lower than expected demand from employer sponsor clients; 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; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 27, 2019, 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. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share are reconciled from the respective measures under GAAP in the attached table “Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, and other non-recurring costs, as well as tax effects associated with these items. These adjustments to net income and diluted earnings per common share in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the types of charges and costs excluded from adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share in prior quarters, although we can provide no assurance as to the timing or magnitude of any such adjustments. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have an impact on the Company’s adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share. The Company has provided reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure where possible without unreasonable effort.

(1) | The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification No. 842, Leases (ASC 842), effective January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company recognized operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by lease arrangements. Lease obligations associated with deferred rent and lease incentives recorded under previous guidance were reclassified from other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities to the operating lease right-of-use assets. The Company adopted the new lease guidance using the modified retrospective approach and the transition method available in accordance with Accounting Standards Update 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which provides the option to use the effective date as the date of initial application of the guidance. As a result, the comparative information for prior periods has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with the accounting standards in effect for those periods under the previously applicable guidance. |

(a) | Represents amortization of intangible assets, including approximately $3.3 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $17.6 million and $18.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, associated with intangible assets recorded in connection with our going private transaction in May 2008. | |

However, the timing and volume of the tax benefits associated with such future equity activity will affect these estimates and the estimated effective tax rate for the year. | |
(g) | Represents estimated tax on adjusted income before income tax using an effective tax rate of approximately 23-24%. | |
(h) | Represents estimated occupancy costs for office space during construction period in 2020, which represents duplicative cost for our new corporate headquarters. | |
