NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization — Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (“Bright Horizons” or the “Company”) provides center-based early education and child care, back-up child and adult/elder care, tuition assistance and student loan repayment program administration, educational advisory services, and other support services for employers and families in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico and India. The Company provides services designed to help families, employers and their employees better integrate work and family life, primarily under multi-year contracts with employers who offer early education and child care, family care solutions, and workforce education services, as part of their employee benefits packages in an effort to support employees across life and career stages and improve employee engagement.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and the condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in accordance with U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts within the condensed consolidated balance sheet and supplemental statement of cash flows information to conform to the current period presentation.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 and the condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.
Stockholders’ Equity — The board of directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program of up to $300 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, effective June 12, 2018. The share repurchase program has no expiration date. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, under Rule 10b5-1 plans, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, 0.5 million shares were repurchased for $70.3 million under this authorization, and at June 30, 2021, $124.5 million remained available under the repurchase program.
On April 21, 2020, the Company completed the issuance and sale of 2,138,580 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to Durable Capital Master Fund LP at a price of $116.90 per share. The Company subsequently filed a registration statement to register the resale of these shares in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. The Company received net proceeds from the offering of $249.8 million.
COVID-19 Pandemic — Since March 2020, the Company's global operations have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, the Company operated 1,006 early education and child care centers, of which approximately 920 early education and child care centers were open. The Company remains focused on the re-enrollment of its centers and the phased re-opening of the limited number of centers that remain temporarily closed, which the Company expects will continue throughout 2021. The broad and long-term effects of COVID-19, its duration and the scope of ongoing and related disruptions, cannot be predicted. Given these factors, the Company currently expects the effects of COVID-19 to continue to adversely impact the results of its operations for the remainder of 2021.
Government Support — The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA”) were enacted in the United States on March 27, 2020 and January 1, 2021, respectively; both are economic aid packages to help mitigate the impact of the pandemic. Additionally, other foreign governmental legislation that provided relief provisions was enacted in response to the economic impact of COVID-19. The Company has participated in certain government support programs, including availing itself of certain tax deferrals and tax credits allowed pursuant to the CARES Act in the United States, as well as certain tax deferrals, tax credits, and employee wage support in the United Kingdom. On December 27, 2020, the employee retention tax credit, originally enacted under the CARES Act in the United States, was expanded and extended under the CAA to wages paid through the first two quarters of 2021, among other changes. Governmental support received is recorded on the consolidated statement of income as a reduction to the related expenses that the assistance is intended to defray. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, $17.0 million and $39.6 million, respectively, was recorded as a reduction to cost of services in relation to these benefits. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $10.9 million and $8.4 million, respectively, was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet for amounts due from government support programs. Additionally, the Company had payroll tax deferrals totaling $20.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, of which $10.2 million was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $10.2 million was included in other long-term liabilities.
Recently Adopted Pronouncement — In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The standard removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves the consistent application of U.S. GAAP by clarifying and amending certain areas of the existing guidance. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

4. ACQUISITIONS
The Company’s growth strategy includes expansion through strategic and synergistic acquisitions. The goodwill resulting from these acquisitions arises largely from synergies expected from combining the operations of the businesses acquired with the Company's existing operations, including cost efficiencies and leveraging existing client relationships, as well as from benefits derived from gaining the related assembled workforce.
2021 Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company acquired two centers as well as a camp and back-up care provider in the United States, in two separate business acquisitions, which were each accounted for as a business combination. These businesses were acquired for aggregate cash consideration of $8.6 million, net of cash acquired of $0.3 million, and consideration payable of $0.4 million. Additionally, the Company is subject to contingent consideration payments for these two acquisitions, and recorded a preliminary fair value estimate of $7.3 million in relation to these contingent consideration arrangements at acquisition. Contingent consideration of up to $1.2 million may be payable within one year if certain performance targets are met for one of the acquisitions, and contingent consideration is payable in 2026 based on certain financial metrics for the other acquisition. The Company recorded goodwill of $14.5 million related to the back-up care segment and of $3.4 million related to the full service center-based child care segment, all of which will be deductible for tax purposes. In addition, the Company recorded intangible assets of $1.3 million that will be amortized over five years, as well as fixed assets of $1.5 million in relation to these acquisitions.
The determination and allocation of purchase price consideration is based on preliminary estimates of fair value; such estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). As of June 30, 2021, the purchase price allocations for these acquisitions remain open as the Company gathers additional information regarding the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, and finalizes its determination of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration at the date of acquisition. The operating results for the acquired businesses are included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition, and were not material to the Company’s financial results.
2020 Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired two child care centers and the Sittercity business, an online marketplace for families and caregivers, in the United States, in three separate business acquisitions, which were each accounted for as a business combination. These businesses were acquired for cash consideration of $8.1 million, net of cash acquired of $1.3 million, and consideration payable of $0.1 million, and included fixed assets and technology of $4.1 million, as well as a trade name of $0.7 million that will be amortized over five years. The Company recorded goodwill of $2.0 million related to the educational advisory and other services segment and $2.1 million related to the full-service center-based child care segment, all of which will be deductible for tax purposes.
The determination and allocation of purchase price consideration is based on preliminary estimates of fair value; such estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). As of June 30, 2021, the purchase price allocation for one of the 2020 acquisitions remains open as the Company gathers additional information regarding the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid $1.2 million for contingent consideration related to acquisitions completed in 2018 and 2019, which had been recorded as a liability at the date of acquisition.

6. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS AND DEBT OBLIGATIONS
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
The Company’s senior secured credit facilities consist of a secured term loan facility (“term loan facility”) and a $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility (“revolving credit facility”). The term loan matures on November 7, 2023 and requires quarterly principal payments of $2.7 million, with the remaining principal balance due on November 7, 2023.
Outstanding term loan borrowings were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2021 | | December 31, 2020 |
| | | |
| (In thousands) |
Term loan | $ | 1,029,313 | | | $ | 1,034,688 | |
Deferred financing costs and original issue discount | (3,130) | | | (3,801) | |

Less current maturities | (10,750) | | | (10,750) | |
Long-term debt | $ | 1,015,433 | | | $ | 1,020,137 | |
On May 26, 2021, the Company amended its existing senior credit facilities to, among other changes, extend the revolving credit facility maturity date from July 31, 2022 to May 26, 2026 (subject to a springing maturity to August 8, 2023 if more than $25 million of the term loans have not been repaid, refinanced or extended), and reduce the interest rates applicable to borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility. In conjunction with this credit amendment, the Company incurred $2.1 million in fees that have been capitalized in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over the contractual life of the revolving credit facility. There were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
In April and May 2020, the Company amended its existing senior credit facilities to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility from $225 million to $400 million, modify the interest rates applicable to borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility, and modify the terms of the applicable covenants. In conjunction with these credit amendments, the Company incurred $2.8 million in fees that have been capitalized in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and were being amortized over the contractual life of the revolving credit facility prior to the May 26, 2021 amendment.
All borrowings under the credit agreement are subject to variable interest. The effective interest rate for the term loan was 2.50% at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the weighted average interest rate was 2.50% and 3.00% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, prior to the effects of any interest rate hedge arrangements. Effective as of May 26, 2021, borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% over the base rate, or 1.50% to 1.75% over the eurocurrency rate. The weighted average interest rate for the revolving credit facility was 4.00% and 4.49% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. The senior secured credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, may restrict the ability of Bright Horizons Family Solutions LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and its restricted subsidiaries, to: incur certain liens; make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; incur additional indebtedness or guarantees; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; engage in transactions with affiliates; sell assets, including capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries; alter the business conducted; enter into agreements restricting the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and consolidate or merge.
In addition, the credit agreement governing the senior secured credit facilities requires Bright Horizons Capital Corp., the Company’s direct subsidiary, to be a passive holding company, subject to certain exceptions. The revolving credit facility requires Bright Horizons Family Solutions LLC, the borrower, and its restricted subsidiaries, to comply with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 4.25 to 1.00 beginning June 30, 2021. A breach of the applicable covenant is subject to certain equity cure rights.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is subject to interest rate risk as all borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities are subject to variable interest rates. In October 2017, the Company entered into variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the exposure to variable interest arrangements on $500 million notional amount of the outstanding term loan borrowings. These swap agreements, designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges from inception, are scheduled to mature on October 31, 2021. The Company is required to make monthly payments on the notional amount at a fixed average interest rate, plus the applicable rate for eurocurrency loans. Effective as of May 31, 2018, the notional amount is subject to a total interest rate of approximately 3.65%. In exchange, the Company receives interest on the notional amount at a variable rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate, subject to a 0.75% floor.
In June 2020, the Company entered into interest rate cap agreements with a total notional value of $800 million, designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges from inception, to provide the Company with interest rate protection in the event the one-month LIBOR rate increases above 1%. Interest rate cap agreements for $300 million notional value have an effective date of June 30, 2020 and expire on October 31, 2023, while interest rate cap agreements for another $500 million notional amount have a forward starting effective date of October 29, 2021, which coincides with the maturity of the interest rate swap agreements, and expire on October 31, 2023.
The interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value and classified based on the instruments’ maturity dates. The Company records gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. These gains and losses are subsequently reclassified into earnings and recognized to interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of income in the period that the hedged interest expense on the term loan facility is recognized. The premium paid for the interest rate cap was recorded as an asset and will be allocated to each of the individual hedged interest payments on the basis of their relative fair values. The change in each respective allocated fair value amount will be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income when each of the hedged forecasted transactions impacts earnings and recognized to interest expense in the Company's consolidated statement of income.
The fair value of the derivative financial instruments was as follows for the periods presented:

These options may become dilutive in the future.
8. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective income tax rates were 23.0% and (135.4)% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 10.9% and 3.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective income tax rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for various reasons, including changes to income (loss) before income tax, jurisdictional mix of income (loss) before income tax, valuation allowances, jurisdictional income tax rate changes, as well as discrete items such as the settlement of foreign, federal and state tax issues and the effects of excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock, which is included as a reduction of tax expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation expense decreased tax expense by $1.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation expense decreased tax expense by $1.7 million and $8.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, prior to the inclusion of the excess tax benefit and other discrete items, the effective income tax rate approximated 28%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, prior to the inclusion of the excess tax benefit and other discrete items, the effective income tax rate approximated 29%.
The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were $3.8 million at June 30, 2021 and $4.0 million at December 31, 2020, inclusive of interest. The Company settled an open tax matter during the quarter resulting in a decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits of $0.4 million. The Company expects the unrecognized tax benefits to change over the next twelve months if certain tax matters settle with the applicable taxing jurisdiction during this time frame, or, if the applicable statute of limitations lapses. The impact of the amount of such changes to previously recorded uncertain tax positions could range from zero to $2.4 million.
The Company and its domestic subsidiaries are subject to audit for U.S. federal income tax as well as multiple state jurisdictions. U.S. federal income tax returns are typically subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the statute of limitations for federal tax returns is three years. The Company’s filings for the tax years 2017 through 2020 are subject to audit based upon the federal statute of limitations.
State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to four years after filing of the respective return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. As of June 30, 2021, there were two income tax audits in process and the tax years from 2016 to 2020 are subject to audit.
The Company is also subject to corporate income tax at its subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, India, Ireland, and Puerto Rico. The tax returns for the Company’s subsidiaries located in foreign jurisdictions are subject to examination for periods ranging from one to five years.
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified using a three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The Company uses observable inputs where relevant and whenever possible. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 — Fair value is derived using quoted prices from active markets for identical instruments.
Level 2 — Fair value is derived using quoted prices for similar instruments from active markets or for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or, fair value is based on model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable from active markets.
Level 3 — Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value because of their short-term nature.
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consisted mainly of cash and accounts receivable. The Company mitigates its exposure by maintaining its cash in financial institutions of high credit standing. The Company’s accounts receivable is derived primarily from the services it provides, and the related credit risk is dispersed across many clients in various industries with no single client accounting for more than 10% of the Company's net revenue or accounts receivable. No significant credit concentration risk existed at June 30, 2021.
Long-term Debt — The Company’s long-term debt is recorded at adjusted cost, net of original issue discounts and deferred financing costs. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on current bid prices, which approximates carrying value. As such, the Company’s long-term debt was classified as Level 1. As of June 30, 2021, the carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt were both $1.03 billion. As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt were $1.03 billion and $1.02 billion, respectively.
Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company’s interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements are recorded at fair value, which were estimated using market-standard valuation models. Such models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs. Additionally, the fair value of the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps included consideration of credit risk. The Company used a potential future exposure model to estimate this credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”). The inputs to the CVA were largely based on observable market data, with the exception of certain assumptions regarding credit worthiness. As the magnitude of the CVA was not a significant component of the fair value of the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps, it was not considered a significant input. The fair value of the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are classified as Level 2. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was $1.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively, which were recorded in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements was $1.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which were recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
Debt Securities — The Company’s investments in debt securities, which are classified as available-for-sale, consist of U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agency securities and certificates of deposit. These securities are held in escrow by the Company’s wholly-owned captive insurance company and were purchased with restricted cash. As such, these securities are not available to fund the Company’s operations. These securities are recorded at fair value using quoted prices available in active markets and are classified as Level 1. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the available-for-sale debt securities was $25.9 million and was classified based on the instruments’ maturity dates, with $21.5 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $4.4 million in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the available-for-sale debt securities was $27.9 million, with $21.5 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $6.4 million in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amortized cost was $25.9 million and $27.9 million, respectively. The debt securities held at June 30, 2021 had remaining maturities ranging from less than one year to approximately 1.5 years. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale debt securities were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
Liabilities for Contingent Consideration — The Company is subject to contingent consideration arrangements in connection with certain business combinations. Liabilities for contingent consideration are measured at fair value each reporting period, with the acquisition-date fair value included as part of the consideration payable for the related business combination and subsequent changes in fair value recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of income. The fair value of contingent consideration was generally calculated using customary valuation models based on probability-weighted outcomes of meeting certain future performance targets and forecasted results. The key inputs to the valuations are the projections of future financial results in relation to the businesses and the company-specific discount rates. The Company classified the contingent consideration liabilities as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the lack of observable inputs used in the model. The contingent consideration liabilities outstanding as of June 30, 2021 related to 2019 and 2021 acquisitions. See Note 4, Acquisitions, for additional information.
The following table provides a roll forward of the recurring Level 3 fair value measurements:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Estimates — During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized impairment losses of $11.9 million and $16.9 million, respectively, on fixed assets and operating lease right-of-use assets for certain centers. The impairment losses were included in cost of services on the consolidated statement of income, which have been allocated to the full service center-based child care segment. The estimated fair value of the applicable center long-lived assets was based on the fair value of the asset groups, calculated using a discounted cash flow model, with unobservable inputs. The fair value of the fixed assets was insignificant given the current and expected cash flows of these centers and the valuation of the lease right-of-use-assets considered the amount a market participant would pay for use of the asset. The Company classified the center long-lived assets as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the lack of observable inputs used in the model.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a $2.1 million impairment loss on an equity investment. The impairment loss was included in cost of services on the consolidated statement of income, which has been allocated to the back-up care segment. The estimated fair value of the equity investment was based on a qualitative assessment, that considered the current economic environment, business prospects and transaction information in the entity's securities, among other factors considered. The Company classified the equity investment as a Level 3 fair value measurement due to the lack of observable inputs.

12. CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
The Company is a defendant in certain legal matters in the ordinary course of business and records accruals for outstanding legal matters when the Company believes it is probable that a loss has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company is currently subject to a governmental investigation and may be subject to one or more health and safety charges in the United Kingdom related to an incident at a Company nursery in July 2019. The Company accrued a liability with respect to this matter, which is reflected in the consolidated financial statements, but is not considered material. While the outcome is inherently uncertain and may be subject to liability in excess of the accrual, the Company does not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. The Company's accruals for outstanding legal matters are not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company's consolidated financial position. Management believes the resolution of such pending legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any such actions.

Overview
The following is a discussion of the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
We are a leading provider of high-quality education and care, including early education and child care, back-up and family care solutions, and workforce education services that are designed to help client employees better integrate work and family life, as well as grow their careers. We provide services primarily under multi-year contracts with employers who offer early education and child care, back-up care, and educational advisory and other services as part of their employee benefits packages in an effort to support employees across life and career stages and improve employee recruitment, employee engagement, productivity, retention and career advancement. As of June 30, 2021, we had more than 1,300 client relationships with employers across a diverse array of industries, including more than 190 Fortune 500 companies and more than 80 of Working Mother magazine’s 2020 “100 Best Companies.”
At June 30, 2021, we operated 1,006 early education and child care centers, compared to 1,076 centers at June 30, 2020, and had the capacity to serve approximately 113,000 children and their families in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and India. At June 30, 2021, approximately 920, or 90%, of our child care centers were open.
Our reportable segments are comprised of (1) full service center-based child care, (2) back-up care, and (3) educational advisory and other services, which includes tuition assistance and student loan repayment program administration, workforce education and related educational advising, college admissions advisory services, and an online marketplace for families and caregivers.
Since March 2020, our global operations have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures to prevent its spread, such as periodically reinstated lockdowns and required business and school closures and restrictions. We remain focused on the re-enrollment of our centers and the phased re-opening of the limited number of centers that remain temporarily closed, which we expect will continue throughout 2021. The broad and long-term effects of COVID-19, its duration and the scope of ongoing and related disruptions cannot be predicted and are affected by many interdependent variables and decisions by government authorities and our client partners, as well as demand, economic, workforce and labor market trends, the adoption and effectiveness of vaccines, and developments in the persistence and treatment of COVID-19 and its variants. We cannot anticipate how long it will take for re-opened centers to reach typical enrollment levels and there is no assurance that centers currently open will continue to operate. Additionally, as we continue to analyze the current environment, we may decide to not re-open certain centers in locations where demand, economic and workforce trends have shifted. We currently expect the effects of COVID-19 to our business to continue to adversely impact our results of operations for the remainder of 2021.
We will continue to monitor and respond to the changing conditions, challenges and disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the changing needs of clients, families and children, while remaining focused on our strategic priorities to deliver high quality education and care services, connect across our service lines, extend our impact on new customers and clients, and preserve our strong culture. These challenging times have demonstrated our crisis management abilities, our critical role in the business continuity plans of our client partners, our leadership in developing and implementing enhanced health and safety protocols, and the value that our unique service offering provides to the families and clients we serve. We remain confident in our business model, the strength of our client partnerships, the strength of our balance sheet and liquidity position, and our ability to continue to respond to changing market conditions.

Revenue generated by the full service center-based child care segment in the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $197.1 million, or 144%, when compared to the same period in 2020. Revenue growth in this segment was attributable to enrollment increases in our open child care centers and the continued re-opening of our temporarily closed centers. Tuition revenue increased by $221.2 million, or 288%, when compared to the prior year, on a 196% increase in enrollment. While enrollment in our child care centers improved during the quarter, our centers continue to operate below pre-COVID-19 enrollment levels during this re-ramping phase and we expect enrollment recovery to continue throughout 2021. Higher foreign currency exchange rates for our United Kingdom and Netherlands operations also contributed to our revenue growth, which increased 2021 tuition revenue by approximately 4%, or $5.0 million. Management fees and operating subsidies from employer sponsors decreased $24.1 million, or 40%, due to reduced operating subsidies received to support center operations in connection with the increase in tuition revenue.
Revenue generated by back-up care services in the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $54.4 million, or 40%, when compared to the same period in 2020. While we had gains from expanded sales to new clients, increased utilization from existing clients, and increases in traditional in-center and in-home use during the quarter, back-up care revenue decreased compared to the prior year as the second quarter in 2020 benefited from significant demand for back-up care services (primarily for self-sourced reimbursed care) during the early stages of the pandemic when other care alternatives were not available. Traditional in-center and in-home use continues to ramp and, although usage remains below pre-COVID-19 levels, we expect continued recovery throughout 2021.
Revenue generated by educational advisory and other services in the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $5.0 million, or 24%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue growth in this segment was primarily attributable to contributions from sales to new clients and increased utilization from existing clients. An acquisition completed in 2020 contributed $2.3 million to the growth of this segment in 2021.
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased by $107.0 million, or 47%, to $335.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $228.5 million for the same period in 2020.
Cost of services in the full service center-based child care segment increased $105.5 million, or 60%, to $280.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in cost of services was primarily associated with a 125% increase in personnel costs, which generally represent 70% of the costs for this segment, in connection with the enrollment growth at our centers. The increase in cost of services was partially offset by a 3% decrease in program supplies, materials, and facility costs, which generally represent the remaining 30% of costs for this segment, primarily due to funding from government support programs which reduced other operating expenses by $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2021. The second quarter of 2020 included a reduction in certain payroll and other operating expenses of $39.6 million from funding received from government support programs, which was partially offset by impairment costs of $11.9 million and center closure costs of $4.4 million that did not occur in 2021.
Cost of services in the back-up care segment decreased by $0.7 million, or 2%, to $42.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, when compared to the prior year. Cost of services in the second quarter of 2020 included impairment costs of $2.1 million related to an equity investment. After taking these charges into account, cost of services increased $1.4 million, or 4%, in the three months ended June 30, 2021, associated with the effects of a change in the revenue mix, with the return to higher levels of traditional in-center and in-home care in the current period compared to more significant self-sourced reimbursed care in the prior year period. The increase in traditional utilization levels over the prior year generated increased care provider fees in the three months ended June 30, 2021, and we continue to invest in personnel, marketing and technology to support our customer user experience and service delivery.
Cost of services in the educational advisory and other services segment increased by $2.2 million, or 21%, to $12.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the prior year, which is broadly consistent with the revenue growth. The increase was primarily due to personnel costs related to delivering services to the expanding customer base.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by $40.7 million, or 62%, to $106.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $65.2 million for the same period in 2020. Gross profit margin was 24% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of approximately 2% from the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to improved margins in the full service center-based child care segment from enrollment increases at open centers and from the re-opening of temporarily closed child care centers, partially offset by reduced contributions from our back-up care services as a result of the decrease in self-sourced reimbursed care.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SGA”). SGA increased by $15.2 million, or 31%, to $64.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $49.2 million for the same period in 2020, in order to support the business throughout the pandemic and as it re-ramps. SGA was 15% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 17% for the same period in 2020 due to the lower revenue base in 2020.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease from $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to decreases from certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during the period, partially offset by increases from the acquisitions completed in 2020 and 2021.
Income from Operations. Income from operations increased by $25.9 million, or 319%, to $34.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the prior year. The following table summarizes income from operations and percentage of revenue for each of our segments for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The increase in income from operations was due to the following:
•Income from operations for the full service center-based child care segment increased $75.9 million, or 106%, in the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to increases in tuition revenue from enrollment growth in our open centers and the re-opening of temporarily closed centers, as well as contributions from government support programs that reduced certain operating expenses by $7.4 million during the quarter. Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 included contributions from government support programs of $39.6 million, which were partially offset by impairment costs of $11.9 million and center closure costs of $4.4 million.
•Income from operations for the back-up care segment decreased $50.4 million, or 67%, in the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020, as the second quarter of 2020 benefited from increased demand during the early stages of the pandemic.
•Income from operations for the educational advisory and other services segment increased $0.3 million, or 7%, in the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020 due to contributions from the expanding revenue base.
Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense was $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, which is relatively consistent with interest expense of $9.1 million for the same period in 2020. Including the effects of the interest rate swap arrangements, the weighted average interest rates for the term loan and revolving credit facility were 3.1% for both the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Based on our current interest rate projections, we estimate that our overall weighted average interest rate will approximate 3.0% for the remainder of 2021.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit). We recorded income tax expense of $5.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, at an effective income tax rate of 23%, compared to an income tax benefit of $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, at an effective income tax rate of (135)%. The difference between the effective income tax rate as compared to the statutory income tax rate was primarily due to the effects of excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock, which had a more significant impact to the effective tax rate for 2020 due to the lower income before income tax. The effective income tax rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for various reasons, including changes to income before income tax, jurisdictional mix of income before income tax, valuation allowances, jurisdictional income tax rate changes, as well as discrete items such as the settlement of foreign, federal and state tax issues and the effects of excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the excess tax benefits reduced income tax expense by $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The effective income tax rate prior to the inclusion of the excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and other discrete items was approximately 28% and 29% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Income from Operations. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income from operations increased $7.9 million, or 13%, and $6.8 million, or 25%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 over the comparable period in 2020 primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit in the full service center-based child care segment, partially offset by reduced contributions in the back-up care segment.
Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted net income increased $3.4 million, or 13%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to the increase in income from operations, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Revenue. Revenue increased $32.2 million, or 4%, to $832.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $800.1 million for the same period in 2020. The following table summarizes the revenue and percentage of total revenue for each of our segments for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Revenue generated by the full service center-based child care segment in the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $76.0 million, or 14%, when compared to the same period in 2020. Revenue growth in this segment was attributable to enrollment increases in our open centers and the continued re-opening of our temporarily closed centers. Tuition revenue increased by $98.6 million, or 22%, when compared to the prior year, on a 13% increase in enrollment. As noted above, while enrollment in our child care centers has improved, we remain in the re-ramp phase and enrollment remains below pre-COVID-19 levels. We expect recovery to continue throughout 2021. Higher foreign currency exchange rates for our United Kingdom and Netherlands operations also contributed to our revenue growth, which increased 2021 tuition revenue by approximately 3%, or $15.0 million. Management fees and operating subsidies from employer sponsors decreased $22.6 million, or 23%, due to reduced operating subsidies received to support center operations in connection with the increase in tuition revenue.
Revenue generated by back-up care services in the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by $52.2 million, or 25%, when compared to the same period in 2020. While we had gains from expanded sales to new clients, increased utilization from existing clients, and increases in traditional in-center and in-home use in the 2021 year to date period, back-up care revenue decreased compared to the prior year as the second quarter in 2020 benefited from significant demand for back-up care services (primarily for self-sourced reimbursed care) during the early stages of the pandemic when other care alternatives were not available. As noted above, traditional in-center and in-home use continues to ramp, and, although usage remains below pre-COVID-19 levels, we expect continued recovery throughout 2021.
Revenue generated by educational advisory and other services in the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $8.4 million, or 20%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. Revenue growth in this segment was primarily attributable to contributions from sales to new clients and increased utilization from existing clients. An acquisition completed in 2020 contributed $4.3 million to the growth of this segment in 2021.
Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $19.0 million, or 3%, to $645.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $626.0 million for the same period in 2020.
Cost of services in the full service center-based child care segment increased $20.2 million, or 4%, to $541.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. The increase in cost of services was primarily associated with the revenue increase. Funding from government support programs reduced certain operating expenses by $17.0 million in 2021. Cost of services in 2020 included a reduction in certain payroll and operating expenses of $39.6 million from funding received from government support programs, partially offset by impairment costs of $16.9 million and center closure costs of $4.4 million that did not occur in 2021.
Cost of services in the back-up care segment decreased $4.6 million, or 5%, to $78.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, when compared to the prior year. Cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2020 included impairment costs of $2.1 million related to an equity investment. After taking these charges into account, cost of services decreased $2.5 million, or 3%, in the six months ended June 30, 2021, associated with the revenue decrease, partially offset by the effects of a change in the revenue mix, with the return to higher levels of traditional in-center and in-home care in the current period compared to more significant self-sourced reimbursed care in the prior year period. The increase in traditional utilization levels over the prior year generated increased care provider fees in the six months ended June 30, 2021, and we continue to invest in personnel, marketing and technology to support our customer user experience and service delivery.
Cost of services in the educational advisory and other services segment increased by $3.4 million, or 16%, to $24.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to personnel costs related to delivering services to the expanding customer base.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $13.2 million, or 8%, to $187.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $174.1 million for the same period in 2020. Gross profit margin was 23% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of approximately 1% from the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily due to improved margins in the full service center-based child care segment from enrollment increases at open centers and from the re-opening of temporarily closed child care centers, partially offset by reduced contributions from our back-up care services as a result of the decrease in self-sourced reimbursed care.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SGA increased $18.0 million, or 17%, to $124.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $106.6 million for the same period in 2020, in order to support the business throughout the pandemic and as it re-ramps. SGA was 15% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 13% for the same period in 2020.
Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease from $16.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to decreases from certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during the period, partially offset by increases from the acquisitions completed in 2020 and 2021.
Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased by $3.7 million, or 7%, to $47.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. The following table summarizes income from operations and percentage of revenue for each of our segments for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

The decrease in income from operations was due to the following:
•Income from operations for the full service center-based child care segment increased $41.2 million, or 75%, in the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to increases in tuition revenue from enrollment growth in our open centers and the re-opening of temporarily closed centers, as well as contributions from government support programs that reduced certain payroll and operating expenses by $17.0 million in 2021. Income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020, included contributions from government support programs of $39.6 million, which were partially offset by impairment costs of $16.9 million and center closure costs of $4.4 million.
•Income from operations for the back-up care segment decreased $45.4 million, or 47%, in the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020, as the second quarter of 2020 benefited from increased demand during the early stages of the pandemic.
•Income from operations for the educational advisory and other services segment increased $0.5 million, or 6%, in the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020 due to contributions from the expanding revenue base.
Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense decreased to $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $19.3 million for the same period in 2020, due to decreased borrowings under our revolving credit facility as well as decreases in the interest rates applicable to our debt. Including the effects of the interest rate swap arrangements, the weighted average interest rates for the term loan and revolving credit facility were 3.1% and 3.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 at an effective income tax rate of 11%, compared to income tax expense of $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, at an effective income tax rate of 3%. The difference between the effective income tax rates as compared to the statutory income tax rates was primarily due to the effects of excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 the excess tax benefit decreased income tax expense by $5.1 million and $8.6 million, respectively. The effective income tax rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for various reasons, including changes to income before income tax, jurisdictional mix of income before income tax, valuation allowances, jurisdictional income tax rate changes, as well as discrete items such as the settlement of foreign, federal and state tax issues and the effects of excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock. The effective income tax rate would have approximated 28% and 29% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, prior to the inclusion of the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation and other discrete items.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Income from Operations. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income from operations decreased $27.2 million, or 19%, and $28.4 million, or 37%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 over the comparable period in 2020 primarily as a result of the decrease in gross profit in the back-up care segment, partially offset by growth in full service center-based child care.
Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted net income decreased $26.4 million, or 38%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to the decrease in income from operations and a higher effective tax rate.

(a)Represents amortization of intangible assets, including quarterly amortization expense of $5.0 million associated with intangible assets recorded in connection with our going private transaction in May 2008.
(b)COVID-19 related costs in 2020 represent impairment costs for investments and long-lived assets as a result of center closures and decreases in the fair values for certain centers that were open or temporarily closed, and other costs incurred as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on our operations and related management actions. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, impairment costs totaled $14.0 million, of which $11.9 million related to the full service center-based child care segment and $2.1 million related to the back-up care segment, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, impairment costs totaled $19.0 million, of which $16.9 million related to the full service center-based child care segment, and $2.1 million related to the back-up care segment. Other COVID-19 related costs totaled $4.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and were primarily associated with the closure of centers, including severance and facilities costs.
(c)Represents non-cash stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation.
(d)Other costs in 2020 relate to occupancy costs incurred for our new corporate headquarters during the construction period, which represented duplicative office costs while we also continued to carry the costs for our previous corporate headquarters.
(e)Represents income tax expense calculated on adjusted income before income tax at an effective tax rate of approximately 21% and 15% for 2021 and 2020, respectively. The tax rate for 2021 represents a tax rate of approximately 27% applied to the expected adjusted income before income tax, less the estimated effect of excess tax benefits 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 associated with such future equity activity will affect these estimates and the estimated effective tax rate for the year.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share (collectively referred to as the “non-GAAP financial measures”) are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP, and 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. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful information with respect to our historical operations. We present the non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental performance measures because we believe they facilitate a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on our results under GAAP, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period. Specifically, adjusted EBITDA allows for an assessment of our operating performance and of our ability to service or incur indebtedness without the effect of non-cash charges, such as depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense, impairment costs and other costs incurred due to the impact of COVID-19, including center closing costs, and duplicative corporate office costs. In addition, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share allow us to assess our performance without the impact of the specifically identified items that we believe do not directly reflect our core operations. These non-GAAP financial measures also function as key performance indicators used to evaluate our operating performance internally, and they are used in connection with the determination of incentive compensation for management, including executive officers. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in connection with the determination of certain ratio requirements under our credit agreement. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to income before taxes, net income, diluted earnings per common share, net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing or financing activities or any other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with GAAP. Consequently, our non-GAAP financial measures should be considered together with our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP and included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We understand that although adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share are frequently used by securities analysts, lenders and others in their evaluation of companies, they have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:
•adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income do not fully reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
•adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt; and
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future; and adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income should not be considered as discretionary cash available to us to reinvest in the growth of our business or as measures of cash that will be available to us to meet our obligations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash requirements are for the ongoing operations of our existing early education and child care centers, back-up care, educational advisory and other services, and debt financing obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity are our existing cash, cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. We had $418.6 million in cash ($429.1 million including restricted cash) at June 30, 2021, of which $54.3 million was held in foreign jurisdictions, compared to $384.3 million in cash ($388.5 million including restricted cash) at December 31, 2020, of which $43.6 million was held in foreign jurisdictions. Operations outside of North America accounted for 27% and 21% of our consolidated revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The net impact on our liquidity from changes in foreign currency exchange rates was not material for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and we do not currently expect that the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have a material net impact on our liquidity, capital resources or results from operations for the remainder of 2021.
On April 21, 2020, we completed the issuance and sale of 2,138,580 shares of common stock to Durable Capital Master Fund LP at a price of $116.90 per share. We raised net proceeds from the offering of $249.8 million, which further strengthened our liquidity and financial position and increased our cash and cash equivalents.
Our revolving credit facility is part of our senior secured credit facilities, which consist of a secured term loan facility and a $400 million revolving credit facility. There were no borrowings outstanding on our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
We had working capital of $89.9 million and $93.4 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We anticipate that our cash flows from operating activities will continue to be impacted while our re-opened centers ramp enrollment and while certain centers remain temporarily closed. During this re-enrollment and re-opening phase, cash flows from operating activities will be supplemented with our existing cash, as well as borrowings available under our revolving credit facility, as needed. As we focus on the re-enrollment and ramping of re-opened centers, as well as re-opening our remaining temporarily closed centers, we will continue to prioritize investments that support current operations and strategic opportunities, as well as the principal and interest payments on our debt.
We have participated in certain government support programs, including certain tax deferrals and tax credits allowed pursuant to the CARES Act and the CAA in the United States, as well as certain tax deferrals, tax credits, and employee wage support in the United Kingdom, and may continue to do so in the future. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, $17.0 million and $39.6 million, respectively, was recorded as a reduction to cost of services in relation to these benefits. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $10.9 million and $8.4 million, respectively, was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet for amounts receivable from government support programs. Additionally, the Company had payroll tax deferrals totaling $20.4 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, of which $10.2 million was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $10.2 million was included in other long-term liabilities. There is no assurance that these government support programs will continue in the future at current levels, or at all.
In response to the broad effects of COVID-19, we have re-negotiated certain payment terms with lessors to mitigate the impact on our financial position and operations. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had $2.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, in lease payment deferrals of which the majority are payable over the next year.
The board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $300 million of our outstanding common stock, effective June 12, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 0.5 million shares for $70.3 million, and $124.5 million remained available under the repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased 0.2 million shares for $32.2 million. All repurchased shares have been retired.
We believe that funds provided by operations, our existing cash balances, and borrowings available under our revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund all obligations and liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, prolonged disruptions to our operations, including as a result of periodically reinstated lockdowns, required school, child care and business closures and restrictions, and government mandates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, may require financing beyond our existing cash and borrowing capacity, and it may be necessary for us to obtain additional debt or equity financing. We may not be able to obtain such financing on reasonable terms, if at all.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $135.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $51.3 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from changes in working capital arising from the timing of billings and payments when compared to the prior year, including improved timing of collections, and increases associated with growth in the full service center-based child care segment and the related increase in tuition fees collected in advance as children re-enroll at our centers. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by the $5.1 million and $11.1 million decrease in net income and non-cash items, respectively, from the prior year.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $37.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $28.3 million for the same period in 2020, and was related to fixed asset additions, acquisitions, and other investments. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily related to acquisitions, as we used $9.1 million for the acquisition of two centers as well as a camp and back-up care provider, and to a lesser extent, settlements of prior year acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $4.4 million used for acquisitions in the prior year. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we invested $34.0 million in fixed asset purchases for new child care centers, and maintenance and refurbishments in our existing centers, which was broadly consistent with the $32.4 million investment in the prior year. Proceeds from the sale of fixed assets were $5.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $7.4 million in the prior year.
Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $56.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $221.5 million for the same period in 2020. The change in financing activities was primarily related to capital raised in the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $249.9 million from the issuance and sale of common stock and an increase in share repurchases, which were $70.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $32.7 million in the prior year.
Debt
Our senior secured credit facilities consist of a secured term loan facility and a $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility. The term loan matures on November 7, 2023 and requires quarterly principal payments of $2.7 million, with the remaining principal balance due on November 7, 2023.
Outstanding term loan borrowings were as follows:

Long-term debt | $ | 1,015,433 | | | $ | 1,020,137 | |
On May 26, 2021, the Company amended its existing senior credit facilities to, among other changes, extend the revolving credit facility maturity date from July 31, 2022 to May 26, 2026 (subject to a springing maturity to August 8, 2023 if more than $25 million of the term loans have not been repaid, refinanced or extended), and reduce the interest rates applicable to borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility. There were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, with $400 million available for borrowing.
In April and May 2020, we amended our existing senior credit facilities to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity of our revolving credit facility from $225 million to $400 million, modify the interest rates applicable to borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility, and modify the terms of the applicable covenants.
Borrowings under the credit agreement are subject to variable interest. We mitigate our interest rate exposure with variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with an underlying fixed notional value of $500 million, designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges from inception, that are scheduled to mature on October 31, 2021. The weighted average interest rate for the term loan was 3.06% and 3.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, including the impact of the interest rate swap agreements. We have interest rate cap agreements with a total notional value of $800 million, designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges from inception, that provide us with interest rate protection in the event the one-month LIBOR rate increases above 1%. Interest rate cap agreements for $300 million notional value have an effective date of June 30, 2020 and expire on October 31, 2023, while interest rate cap agreements for another $500 million notional amount have a forward starting effective date of October 29, 2021, which coincides with the maturity of our existing interest rate swap agreements, and expire on October 31, 2023.
The revolving credit facility requires Bright Horizons Family Solutions LLC, the borrower, and its restricted subsidiaries, to comply with a quarterly maintenance based financial covenant. A breach of this covenant is subject to certain equity cure rights. The credit agreement governing the senior secured credit facilities contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. We were in compliance with our financial covenant at June 30, 2021. Refer to Note 6, Credit Arrangements and Debt Obligations, in our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our debt and credit arrangements, and covenant requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
For a discussion of our “Critical Accounting Policies,” refer to Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2020.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Other than the broad effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative impact on the global economy and major financial markets, there have been no material changes in our exposure to interest rate or foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations since December 31, 2020. See Part II, Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further information regarding market risk.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2021, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods and that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of June 30, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are, from time to time, subject to claims, suits, and matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Such claims have in the past generally been covered by insurance, but there can be no assurance that our insurance will be adequate to cover all liabilities that may arise out of claims or matters brought against us. We believe the resolution of such legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any such actions. Refer to Note 12, Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, including with respect to the impacts from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial, may also materially impair our business, financial condition or results of operations. There have been no material changes to our risk factors since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
