Bright Horizons Family Solutions® Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Financial Results

WATERTOWN, MA, February 9, 2017 /Marketwired/ — 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 family life, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2016 and provided guidance for the full year of 2017.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Highlights (compared to fourth quarter 2015): 
Revenue increased 7% to $399 million
Income from operations increased 6% to $47 million
Net income decreased 28% to $17 million and diluted earnings per common share decreased 28% to $0.28

Non-GAAP measures

Adjusted EBITDA* increased 12% to $76 million
Adjusted net income* increased 17% to $33 million and diluted adjusted earnings per common share* increased 19% to $0.56

Year Ended December 31, 2016 Highlights (compared to year ended December 31, 2015): 
Revenue increased 8% to $1.6 billion
Income from operations increased 9% to $197 million
Net income increased 1% to $95 million and diluted earnings per common share increased 3% to $1.55

Non-GAAP measures
Adjusted income from operations* increased 10% to $200 million
Adjusted EBITDA* increased 10% to $299 million
Adjusted net income* increased 13% to $131 million and diluted adjusted earnings per common share* increased 17% to $2.16

“We are pleased to report strong financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2016,” said David Lissy, Chief Executive Officer.  “Recent studies have shown that more and more young workers say that choosing the right employer is a key part of family planning. At Bright Horizons, we are leading the way in providing our employer clients and the working families that we serve across the world with the critical supports they need to successfully integrate work and life, and maximize their productivity.”

“Our solid financial results in 2016 reflects the continued investments that we have made in the people and systems needed to strengthen our position as the leading provider in our field. Our deep commitment and long history of delivering high quality care, education and service allows us to grow and thrive as we engage employees through critical life stages in our broad suite of solutions. We are well positioned to continue to deliver on our growth plan in 2017,” added Lissy.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Results
Revenue increased $26.9 million, or 7%, in the fourth quarter of 2016 from the fourth quarter of 2015 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.

Income from operations was $47.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to $44.9 million in the same 2015 period, an increase of 6%, primarily due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset by increases in selling, general and




administrative expenses including fees incurred to complete the refinancing of our debt in November 2016. 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, new clients in the back-up dependent care and educational advisory services that have been added since the fourth quarter of 2015, and strong cost management. These contributions are partially offset by the costs during the ramp-up of certain new lease/consortium centers opened during 2015 and 2016, and ongoing investments in systems and personnel to support the delivery of our services. Net income was $17.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2016 compared to net income of $23.9 million in 2015, a decrease of 28.4%, due to the $11.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the November 2016 debt refinancing.  Diluted earnings per common share was $0.28 compared to $0.39 in the fourth quarter of 2015.

In the fourth quarter of 2016, adjusted EBITDA increased $8.3 million, or 12%, to $76.4 million, and adjusted income from operations increased $3.8 million, or 9%, to $49.1 million, from the fourth quarter of 2015, due primarily to the expanded gross profit. Adjusted net income increased by $4.7 million, or 17%, to $33.5 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2015, on the expanded income from operations. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share increased 19% from $0.47 in the fourth quarter of 2015 to $0.56 in the fourth quarter of 2016.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company operated 1,035 early care and education centers with the capacity to serve 115,000 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 debt financing transactions, and expenses associated with completed acquisitions. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before expenses related to the completion of secondary offerings and debt financing transactions, 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, debt financing transaction 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 the attached table "Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations."

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company generated approximately $211.5 million of cash flows from operations compared to $170.1 million in 2015, and invested $302.8 million in fixed assets and acquisitions compared to $155.4 million in 2015. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $93.8 million in 2016 compared to $90.6 million used in 2015.  In 2016, the Company repurchased a total of 1.7 million shares of common stock for $112.8 million compared to a total of 2.2 million shares of common stock for $128.1 million repurchased in 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company's cash and cash equivalents grew $1.3 million to $12.9 million.

2017 Outlook
As described below, the Company is providing certain financial guidance. For the full year 2017, the Company currently expects:
Revenue growth in 2017 in the range of 10-12%
Net income growth and diluted earnings per common share growth in 2017 in the range of 28-31%
Adjusted net income growth and diluted adjusted earnings per common share growth in 2017 in the range of 17-20%
Diluted weighted average shares in the range of 61 million to 61.5 million shares

For a reconciliation, refer to the attached table “Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”

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, our service offerings, and our 2017 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; 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 29, 2016, 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 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, expenses related to the completion of secondary offerings and debt financing transactions, and expenses associated with completed acquisitions as well as tax effects associated with these items. The 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 adjusted diluted earnings per common share in prior quarters. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have an impact on the Company’s adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per common share. The Company does not include potential expenses related to the completion of future secondary offerings and debt financing transactions, or expenses associated with completed acquisitions and the tax effects associated with these items in either the Company’s non-GAAP financial guidance or in the corresponding GAAP measures because of the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying such expenses due to the uncertainty and variability of the nature and amount of these future charges and costs.
