“We continued to make good progress in the fourth quarter, and we enter 2021 with momentum and a path toward recovery,” said Stephen Kramer, Chief Executive Officer. “While 2020 was a challenging year, it highlighted the best of Bright Horizons. Our employees heroically rose to the challenge, with an unwavering commitment to children, families and learners.”

“I am excited to turn the page on 2020 and begin 2021,” Kramer continued. “The depth and breadth of our client relationships, along with the increased awareness of our high impact service offerings and differentiated value proposition, position us well to capitalize on the growth opportunities that lie ahead. We believe Bright Horizons will successfully emerge from this challenging period a much stronger and more agile organization.”

COVID-19 Response Update

As we previously disclosed, the COVID-19 pandemic has substantially disrupted Bright Horizons’ global operations. In mid-March 2020, in response to the challenges presented by COVID-19, we began the temporary closure of a significant number of our centers, while continuing to operate critical health care client and “hub” centers to provide care and support services to the children whose parents worked on the front lines of the response. As countries and local jurisdictions lifted certain restrictions, we began a phased re-opening of our temporarily closed centers, the majority of which re-opened between May and September 2020. As of December 31, 2020, 910 of our child care and early education centers were open, out of 1,014 centers we operate. Our centers are operating with stringent COVID-19 protocols to protect the health and safety of the children, families and staff. These practices include social distancing procedures for pick-up and drop-off, daily health checks, the use of face masks by our staff, limited group sizes, and enhanced hygiene and cleaning practices. We are focused on the re-enrollment and ramping of our centers, while also continuing the phased re-opening of the limited number of centers that remain temporarily closed. As this is a continuously changing environment, 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 not to re-open select centers in locations where demand and economic trends have shifted. Below is an update on the status of our operations and the actions we have taken in response to COVID-19.

United States: As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately 550 open centers in the United States, and approximately 100 centers remained temporarily closed. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we opened 2 new centers and re-opened 9 centers that had been temporarily closed. We permanently closed 10 locations where demand and economics had shifted. We are working with client partners to determine the timing and cadence of re-opening our remaining temporarily closed centers.

United Kingdom: As of December 31, 2020, our 299 centers in the United Kingdom were open. During the three months ended December 31, 2020, we permanently closed 4 locations where demand and economics had shifted. Recent re-imposed government restrictions on travel and public gatherings in response to increased COVID-19 infections, which are in effect until March 8, 2021, have resulted in reduced attendance at our child care centers, which have remained open to serve children and families in accordance with the government mandates.

Netherlands: As of December 31, 2020, our 62 centers in the Netherlands were open. Centers have remained operational throughout the pandemic under the Dutch government mandate that required nurseries to remain open to serve the children of parents who work in vital professions, such as health care or emergency services. The recent government mandate, which was in effect through February 8, 2021, re-imposed restrictions on attendance at child care centers to children of parents in vital professions only, while also reinstating the government's support of the child care industry through the continued payment of tuition subsidies.

Back-up Care and Educational Advisory: Our other primary service offerings — Back-up Care and Educational Advisory — have remained fully operational for our clients and their employees. In response to the acute need for child care support during the pandemic, we expanded back-up care services to support the needs of families affected by other child care and/or school closures, primarily through in-home and self-sourced reimbursed care. As businesses and families have adapted to changing conditions, we have seen our back-up care services shift towards the more traditional in-center and in-home service delivery, with self-sourced reimbursed care continuing to decrease during the third and fourth quarters compared to the second quarter of 2020.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Bright Horizons has a strong balance sheet, with $384 million of cash and cash equivalents and an undrawn $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility at December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we generated approximately $209.6 million of cash from operations, compared to $330.4 million in 2019, and made modest investments in fixed assets and acquisitions of $83.8 million, compared to $189.1 million in the prior year.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Results

Revenue decreased $143.5 million, or 28%, in the fourth quarter of 2020 from the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease in revenue is the result of reduced enrollment in our child care and early education centers that have re-opened, and child care centers that closed or remain temporarily closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by increased contributions from our back-up care and educational advisory services. At the end of the quarter, 910 child care centers were open, a decrease of 16% when compared to 1,084 at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.

Income from operations was $7.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $67.4 million for the same 2019 period. The decrease in income from operations reflects reduced gross profit contributions in the full service center-based child care segment arising from lower enrollment as centers re-ramp, the temporary and permanent closure of centers, and the related impairment charges on long-lived assets and center closing costs of $9.1 million, partially offset by incremental contributions from our back-up care and educational advisory services from increased utilization in both segments, and support received from government programs. Net income was $2.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to net income of $47.8 million in the same 2019 period, a decrease of $45.2 million, or 95%, due to the decrease in income from operations, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.04 for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $0.81 in the fourth quarter of 2019.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, adjusted EBITDA decreased $47.6 million, or 47%, to $52.8 million, and adjusted income from operations decreased $49.0 million, or 73%, to $18.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2019, due primarily to the decrease in gross profit in the full service center-based child care segment, partially offset by growth in back-up care and educational advisory services. Adjusted net income decreased by $37.3 million, or 63%, to $22.2 million, due to the decrease in income from operations, partially offset by a lower effective tax rate. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share was $0.36 for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $1.01 in the fourth quarter of 2019.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had more than 1,300 client relationships with employers across a diverse array of industries, and operated 1,014 child care and early education centers with the capacity to serve approximately 114,000 children and their families. As described above, 910 child care and early education centers with the capacity to serve approximately 105,000 children and their families remained open or have re-opened after temporary closures.

*Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, the excess of lease expense over cash lease expense (prior to fiscal 2020), stock-based compensation expense, impairment costs, other costs incurred due to the impact of COVID-19 including center closing costs, transaction costs, and duplicative corporate office costs. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before impairment costs, other COVID-19 related costs, transaction costs, and duplicative corporate office costs. Adjusted net income represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, impairment costs, other COVID-19 related costs, transaction costs, duplicative corporate office costs, 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.”

2021 Outlook

At this time, the duration and scope of the ongoing business disruption, including the pace of re-ramping enrollment at re-opened centers and the re-opening of the remaining temporarily closed centers, cannot be predicted, and is dependent on many interdependent variables and decisions by government authorities and our client partners, as well as demand, economic trends, the adoption and effectiveness of a vaccine, and developments in the persistence and treatment of COVID-19. As previously disclosed, the negative financial impact to our results and future financial or operational performance, including our annual performance for 2021, cannot be reasonably estimated. Therefore, we are not at this time and do not currently expect to provide full earnings guidance for fiscal 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s actual results may vary significantly from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements, which can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “projects,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates,” or, in each case, their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts, including statements regarding the Company’s intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, operating expectations, effects of COVID-19 on our operations, the continued operation of currently open centers, our value proposition, our future opportunities, our re-opening plans for temporarily closed center locations, permanent center closures, timing to re-ramp enrollment and centers, impact of government mandates, contributions from our back-up care segment, and future business and financial performance. 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, prolonged disruptions to our operations as a result of required school and business closures and stay-at-home mandates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including current conditions and future developments in the public health arena; the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy; developments in the persistence and treatment of COVID-19 and the adoption, delivery and effectiveness of vaccines; the availability or lack of government supports; changes in the demand for child care, dependent care and other workplace solutions, including variation in enrollment trends and lower than expected demand from employer sponsor clients as well as variations in return to work protocols; the possibility that acquisitions may disrupt our operations and expose us to additional risk; increased costs resulting from recommended or mandated enhanced health and safety protocols and physical distancing; our ability to pass on our increased costs; our indebtedness and the terms of such indebtedness; our ability to withstand seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our services; our ability to implement our growth strategies successfully; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 27, 2020, and other factors disclosed from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. 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.”
