Exhibit 99.1
Bright Horizons Family Solutions® Reports Second Quarter of 2015 Financial Results

BOSTON, August 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Bright Horizons Family Solutions® Inc. (NYSE: BFAM), a leading provider of high-quality child care, early education and other services designed to help employers and families better address the challenges of work and life, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2015 and confirmed and updated certain financial guidance for the full year 2015.
Second Quarter 2015 Highlights (compared to second quarter 2014):
 
Revenue increased 6% to $370 million
Adjusted EBITDA* increased 16% to $75 million
Adjusted income from operations* increased 23% to $52 million
Adjusted net income* increased 20% to $33 million
Diluted adjusted earnings per common share* increased 29% to $0.53

"We are very pleased to report another strong quarter, reflective of solid growth and operating results across all of our business lines. These results are made possible by delivering on our mission every day to provide high quality care, education and service to children, families and employers," said David Lissy, Chief Executive Officer. “Our goal has been to invest in our core services while developing new services to meet the needs of working families across the world, and it is gratifying to continue to see our investments return positive results for all of those that we have the privilege to serve.”

“I continue to be immensely proud of our hardworking team of educators and professionals who time and again have earned us the distinction of being one of the best places to work everywhere we operate. This includes the addition of the team from Hildebrandt Learning Centers, based in the mid-Atlantic area, who have recently joined the Bright Horizons family,” continued Lissy. “Being a leading workplace is critical to achieving our goals of supporting the success of working families and delivering solutions that help our clients, some of the world’s largest and most influential employers, develop a productive and engaged workforce.”

Second Quarter 2015 Results

Revenue increased $22.4 million, or 6%, in the second quarter of 2015 from the second quarter of 2014 on contributions from new and ramping full-service child care centers, average price increases of 3-4%, and expanded sales of back-up dependent care and educational advisory services, partially offset by the effects of foreign currency translation on our European business.

Income from operations was $52.1 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to $42.5 million in the same 2014 period, primarily due to a $12.7 million increase in gross profit, partially offset by increases in recurring selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in gross profit and income from operations reflects operating leverage from enrollment gains in mature and ramping centers, contributions from new child care centers, back-up dependent care and educational advisory clients that have been added since the second quarter of 2014, and strong cost management, partially offset by the costs incurred during the ramp-up of certain new lease/consortium centers opened during 2014 and 2015 and the effects of foreign currency translation on our European business. Net income was $26.9 million for the second quarter of 2015 compared to net income of $21.7 million in the same 2014 period, an increase of $5.2 million on the expanded income from operations.

In the second quarter of 2015, adjusted EBITDA increased $10.3 million, to $74.8 million, and adjusted income from operations increased $9.9 million, to $52.5 million, from the second quarter of 2014 due primarily to the expanded gross profit.  Adjusted net income increased by $5.5 million, or 20%, to $33.1 million on the expanded income from operations.  Diluted adjusted earnings per common share was $0.53, an increase of 29% compared to the second quarter in 2014.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company operated 922 early care and education centers with the capacity to serve 106,000 children and 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, straight line




rent expense, stock-based compensation expense, expenses related to secondary offerings, and expenses associated with completed acquisitions. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before expenses related to the completion of secondary offerings, and expenses associated with completed acquisitions. Adjusted net income represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, secondary offering expenses, expenses associated with completed acquisitions 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 "Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company generated approximately $115.0 million of cash flow from operations compared to $104.4 million for the same period in 2014 and invested $64.2 million in fixed assets and acquisitions compared to $36.2 million in the same 2014 period.  Net cash used in financing activities totaled $62.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $14.2 million provided by financing activities for the same 2014 period.  The Company repurchased a total of 1.3 million shares of common stock for a total of $72.6 million during the first six months of 2015, including a 1.25 million share block trade in connection with the secondary offering of stock completed in June 2015. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased $11.0 million to $76.9 million.

2015 Outlook

As described below, the Company is confirming and updating certain financial guidance. For the full year 2015, the Company currently expects:
 
Overall revenue growth in 2015 in the range of 7-10%
Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2015 in the range of 14-16%
Adjusted net income growth in 2015 in the range of 15-17%

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes statements that express the Company's opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements." 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. They include statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, the industries in which we and our partners operate, and our 2015 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 and other dependent care services, 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; changes in our relationships with employer sponsors; our substantial indebtedness and the terms of such indebtedness; our ability to withstand seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our services; significant competition within our industry; 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 March 2, 2015, and 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 measures for the purpose of evaluating performance internally.  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."
