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. The Company’s risk management policy permits using derivative instruments to manage interest rate and other risks. The Company uses interest rate ~~swaps and~~ caps to manage a portion of the risk related to changes in cash flows from interest rate movements. On December 21, 2022, the Company amended its existing interest rate cap agreements in conjunction with the amendment to its senior secured credit facilities, and replaced the one-month LIBOR rate with the one-month term SOFR rate.

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% (effective December 30, 2022, one-month term SOFR rate increases above 0.9%). 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 an effective date of October 29, 2021 and expire on October 31, 2023.

In December 2021, the Company entered into additional interest rate cap agreements with a total notional value of $900 million designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges from inception. Interest rate cap agreements for $600 million, which have a forward starting effective date of October 31, 2023 and expire on October 31, 2025, provide the Company with interest rate protection in the event the one-month LIBOR rate increases above 2.5% (effective December 30, 2022, one-month term SOFR rate increases above 2.4%). Interest rate cap agreements for $300 million, which have a forward starting effective date of October 31, 2023 and expire on October 31, 2026, provide the Company with interest rate protection in the event the one-month LIBOR rate increases above 3.0% (effective December 30, 2022, one-month term SOFR rate increases above 2.9%).

During the ~~six months~~year ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts in connection with an acquisition in Australia completed inon July 1, 2022. The Company entered into the foreign currency forwards to lock the purchase price in US dollars at closing and mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations between signing of the definitive purchase agreement on May 3, 2022 and closing. The forward contracts ~~have~~had a total notional value of approximately AUD$320 million, which included the expected payments for the purchase price and for letters of credit used to guarantee certain lease arrangements. The cash flows associated with the business combination do not meet the criteria to be designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge and, as such, foreign currency gains and losses on these forwards are recorded on the consolidated statement of income. During the ~~six months~~year ended ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022, the Company recognized realized losses of ~~$4.6 million and unrealized losses of $1.3~~$5.9 million in relation to these forwards due to fluctuations in the Australian dollar.

The fair value of the derivative financial instruments was as follows for the periods presented:

Table of ~~tax expense.~~ Contents

During the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023, the net shortfall tax expense from stock-based compensation expense increased tax expense by $2.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation expense decreased tax expense by $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively. 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.$2.0 million.

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, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

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 or prices for similar instruments from active markets. As such, the Company’s long-term debt was classified as Level 2. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt was ~~$992.0~~$980.0 million and ~~$963.6~~$968.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the estimated fair value approximated the carrying value of long-term debt.

Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company’s interest rate cap agreements are recorded at fair value and 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 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 caps, it was not considered a significant input. The fair value of the interest rate caps are classified as Level 2. As of ~~June 30, 2022 and December~~March 31, ~~2021,~~2023, the fair value of the interest rate cap agreements was ~~$40.5~~$41.6 million, of which $18.0 million was recorded in prepaid expensesand ~~$8.8~~other current assets and $23.6 million ~~respectively, which~~ was recorded in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

~~The Company's foreign currency forward contracts are recorded at~~ At December 31, 2022, the fair value ~~based~~of the interest rate cap agreements was $54.1 million, of which $25.5 million was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $28.6 million was recorded in other assets on the foreign currency exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized realized losses of $4.6 million and unrealized losses of $1.3 million in relation to these forwards due to fluctuations in the Australian dollar.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, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the fair value of the available-for-sale debt securities was ~~$26.6~~$30.6 million and was classified based on the instruments’ maturity dates, with ~~$22.9~~$16.8 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and ~~$3.7~~$13.8 million in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the fair value of the available-for-sale debt securities was ~~$29.9~~$29.6 million, with ~~$22.7~~$17.7 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and ~~$7.2~~$11.9 million in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. At ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the amortized cost was ~~$26.9~~$29.6 million and ~~$30.0~~$29.8 million, respectively. The debt securities held at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 had remaining maturities ranging from less than one year to approximately ~~1.5~~2 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, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2021.~~2022.

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. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, contingent consideration liabilities of ~~$19.3~~$0.2 million were paid related to acquisitions completed ~~in 2019 and~~ 2021.

Table of Contents

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 families, employers and their employees solve the challenges of the modern workforce and thrive personally and professionally. 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 to improve recruitment, employee engagement, productivity, retention and career advancement.

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we had more than ~~1,350~~1,400 client relationships with employers across a diverse array of industries, including more than ~~200~~215 Fortune 500 ~~companies and more than 80~~companies. As of ~~Working Mother~~ ~~magazine’s 2021 “100 Best Companies.”~~

~~At June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we operated ~~1,014~~1,076 early education and child care centers and had the capacity to serve approximately ~~114,000~~120,000 children and their families in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Australia and India. ~~At June 30, 2022, 992, or 98%, 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. Full service center-based child care includes ~~the~~ traditional center-based early education and child care, preschool, and elementary education. Back-up care consists of center-based back-up child care, in-home care for children and adult/elder dependents, school-age camps, virtual tutoring, pet care and self-sourced reimbursed care. Educational advisory and other services includes tuition assistance and student loan repayment program ~~administration,~~management, workforce education, related educational advising, college ~~admissions~~ advisory services, and Sittercity, 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 undertaken in response thereto. During the early stages of the pandemic, most of our child care centers were temporarily closed. We responded by quickly adapting to the changing environment and focusing on health and safety, supporting clients and their essential frontline workers and pivoting to expand back-up care solutions for clients and employees to meet the surge in need and demand. ~~While nearly~~Nearly all of our centers ~~have subsequently re-opened,~~are now re-opened. While we continue to be impacted by the ongoing effects of COVID-19, including the resurgence of infections and variants of the virus, which have impacted center enrollment, back-up care use and the speed of our recovery, and by the challenges of managing precautionary and preventative measures suchnavigate a dynamic operating environment as ~~vaccination and masking mandates, virus exposures affecting our staff and families who attend our centers, and disrupted staff availability.~~

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. We have executed a number of strategic actions to strengthen our client partnerships and our employee value proposition to better position us as the service provider and employer of choice in our industry. As the early education industry continues to be impacted by a challenging labor market, we continue to invest, and expect to make future investments, in our employees and build on what makes us an employer of choice. We have enhanced compensation and expanded employee benefits, increased the child care tuition subsidy, enhanced our mental health and wellness resources, and continue to champion for early educators through our Horizons Teacher Degree Program, where our employees can earn an associate or bachelor's degree in early childhood education at no-cost.

~~It remains difficult to predict the full impact~~result of the pandemic and ~~eventual recovery, but~~disrupted staff availability as well as the effects of current macroeconomic conditions, such as inflation and fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, we ~~remain committed~~continued to ~~families, clients~~see year-over-year enrollment growth as centers re-ramp.

We remain confident in our value proposition, business model, the strength of our client partnerships, the strength of our balance sheet~~educational advisory and ~~liquidity position, and our ability to~~other services, as we continue to ~~respond to changing market conditions.

~~• maintenance and incremental growth of enrollment in our mature and ramping centers, and cost management in response to changes in enrollment in our centers;~~

• effective pricing strategies, including tuition increases that correlate with expected increases in personnel costs, including wages and benefits, and additional pricing actions to accommodate higher operating costs and the impact of persistent inflation;

~~• additional growth in expanded service offerings and cross-selling of services to clients;~~

~~• successful identification and integration of acquisitions and transitions of management of centers; and~~

~~• successful management and improvement of underperforming centers.~~

Revenue generated by the full service center-based child care segment in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 increased by ~~$36.9~~$76.3 million, or ~~11%~~22%, when compared to the same period in ~~2021.~~2022. Revenue growth in this segment was ~~primarily~~ attributable to ~~enrollment increases in our open~~contributions from the 75 child care centers acquired in Australia in July 2022 (“Only About Children”) and from ~~the re-opening of~~enrollment gains and price increases at our ~~temporarily closed~~existing child care centers. Tuition revenue increased by ~~$38.8~~$70.9 million, or ~~13%~~22%, when compared to the prior year, ondue to revenue contributions during the quarter from Only About Children of $33.2 million and a ~~16%~~9% increase in ~~enrollment.~~enrollment at our existing centers. While we continue to see sequential enrollment ingrowth at our centers, ~~continues to improve, our centers~~we continue to operate below ~~pre-COVID-19~~pre-pandemic enrollment levels as ~~the~~ ongoing ~~disruption of the pandemic and~~ labor market challenges and current economic conditions have slowed the recovery in both the U.S. and ~~impacted occupancy levels.~~International markets. We expect continued occupancy improvement ~~throughout 2022 and into 2023. Additionally, during~~through the ~~three months ended June 30, 2022, $1.4 million was received from government programs related to tuition support and was recorded to revenue.~~remainder of 2023, with more modest improvement in the U.K. Lower foreign currency exchange rates for our United Kingdom and Netherlands operations in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 decreased 2023 tuition revenue by approximately 3%, or $9.7 million, which partially offset our revenue ~~growth,~~growth. While we expect to be impacted by fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates throughout the year, we do not expect fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to have a significant impact to the full year results for 2023. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, $0.6 million was received from government programs related to tuition support that was recorded to revenue, which ~~decreased 2022 tuition revenue~~is a decrease from $2.0 million received in the same period in the prior year. We expect to receive less government support in 2023 as most of the programs for which we are eligible are currently expected to end by ~~approximately 4%, or $12.6 million.~~ September 2023.

Management fees and operating subsidies from employer sponsors ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$1.9~~$5.4 million, or 5%16%, ~~primarily~~ due to higher operating subsidies required to support center operations as enrollment continues to increase, and due to a decrease in funding received from government support programs. Funding received from government support programs ~~that reduced~~reduce certain center operating costs, which ~~impacted~~impact the related operating subsidies. During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~such funding ~~received from government support programs of $6.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively,~~ reduced the operating subsidy revenue due from ~~employers.~~employers by $7.4 million and $9.5 million, respectively.

Revenue generated by back-up care services in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 increased by ~~$10.2~~$15.5 million, or ~~13%~~19%, when compared to the same period in ~~2021.~~2022. Revenue growth in the back-up care segment was primarily attributable to ~~expanded sales to new clients,~~ increased utilization of center-based and in-home back-up care from new and existing clients, and ~~contributions from our various back-up use types.~~expanded sales to new clients.

Revenue generated by educational advisory and other services in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 increased by ~~$1.7~~$1.5 million, or 7%6%, 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.

Cost of Services. Cost of services increased by ~~$26.3~~$81.6 million, or 8%23%, to ~~$361.8~~$432.0 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 from ~~$335.5~~$350.4 million for the same period in ~~2021.~~2022.

Cost of services in the full service center-based child care segment increased by ~~$16.8~~$64.5 million, or 6%22%, to ~~$297.3~~$358.6 million in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in ~~2021.~~2022. The increase in cost of services was primarily associated with increased labor costs related to the ~~enrollment~~ increase in ~~our~~enrollment as well as the operating costs associated with the 75 Only About Children child care centers which were acquired July 1, 2022, and ~~the re-opening of our temporarily closed centers.~~general market inflation. Personnel costs, which generally represent 70% of the costs for this segment, increased 8%23% primarily in connection with ~~the~~ enrollment growth at our centers and higher average labor costs, including wage increases and premiums associated with temporary help, as well as the incremental costs associated with the Only About Children centers. Funding received from government support programs reduced center operating expenses by ~~$21.4~~a total of $21.6 million in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, a decrease of $3.7 million compared to ~~$7.4~~$25.3 million in government funding received in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. As noted above, a portion of the funding received from government support programs reduced the operating costs in certain employer-sponsored centers, which in turn reduced the operating subsidy revenue due from employers for the related child care centers by ~~$6.5~~$7.4 million and ~~$2.8~~$9.5 million in the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ respectively.

Cost of services in the back-up care segment increased by ~~$8.2~~$16.1 million, or ~~19%~~36%, to ~~$50.7~~$60.6 million in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, when compared to the prior year. The increase in cost of services is primarily associated with ~~the effects of a change in the revenue mix and the return to~~ higher ~~levels of center-based and in-home back-up care use in 2022 compared to more significant self-sourced reimbursed care in the prior year period. The increase in cost of services included increased~~ care provider fees generated by the increase in utilization levels of center-based and in-home back-up care over the prior year, and continued investment in personnel, marketing and technology to support our customer user experience and service delivery. In addition, cost of services includes a $4.3 million expense recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to value-added tax expense incurred in prior periods.

Cost of services in the educational advisory and other services segment increased by ~~$1.3~~$1.0 million, or ~~10%~~9%, to ~~$13.8~~$12.8 million in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 when compared to the prior year, ~~which is broadly consistent with the revenue growth. The increase was primarily~~ due to increased personnel costs related to delivering services to the expanding customer base.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased by ~~$22.5~~$11.6 million, or ~~21%~~10%, to ~~$128.5~~$121.6 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 from ~~$106.0~~$110.1 million for the same period in ~~2021.~~2022. Gross profit margin was ~~26%~~22% of revenue for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022, an increase~~March 31, 2023, a decrease of approximately 2% compared to the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily due to ~~improved margins in the full service center-based child care segment from enrollment increases at open child care centers and from the re-opening~~value-added tax expense of ~~temporarily closed centers.~~$4.3 million related to prior periods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SGA”). SGA increased by ~~$9.2~~$11.0 million, or ~~14%~~15%, to ~~$73.7~~$82.8 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 from ~~$64.5~~$71.7 million for the same period in ~~2021, in order~~2022, on incremental spending to support the business as it continues to ~~re-ramp.~~re-ramp, incremental costs associated with the Only About Children acquisition completed July 1, 2022, and the inclusion of a $1.7 million expense recorded for value-added tax expense incurred in prior periods. SGA was 15.0% of revenue for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, generally consistent with the same period in ~~2021.~~2022.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.

The ~~increase~~decrease in income from operations was primarily due to the following:

•Income from operations for the full service center-based child care segment increased ~~$15.7~~$1.3 million, or ~~386%~~18%, in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in ~~2021~~2022 primarily due to increases in tuition revenue from enrollment growth ~~in our open centers~~ and ~~the re-opening~~improved gross profit contributions, partially offset by a decrease of ~~temporarily closed centers, as well as incremental~~approximately $3 million in net contributions ~~of approximately $12 million~~ from government support programs ~~that primarily reduced certain operating expenses.~~and the inclusion of a $1.7 million expense recorded for value-added tax expense incurred in prior periods. We expect to receive less government support in 2023 as most of the programs for which we are eligible are currently expected to end by September 2023.

•Income from operations for the back-up care segment ~~increased $0.4~~decreased $3.1 million, or 1%15%, in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in ~~2021, as~~2022, due to value-added tax expense of $4.3 million related to prior periods and higher personnel, technology and marketing costs to support the ~~service delivery mix continues to shift back towards pre-COVID-19 levels, with increasing utilization of traditional in-home~~growth in this segment, partially offset by contributions from the expanding revenue base from increased sales and ~~center-based back-up care and a decrease in self-sourced reimbursed care compared to the prior year.~~utilization.

•Income from operations for the educational advisory and other services segment ~~decreased $2.2~~increased $1.3 million, or ~~42%~~37%, in the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in ~~2021~~2022 due to ~~investments in personnel, marketing~~contributions from the expanding revenue base and ~~technology to support the growth of the segment.~~

~~Loss on Foreign Currency Forward Contracts.~~ ~~During the~~three months ended June 30, 2022, in connection with the acquisition in Australia completed in July 2022, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts with a total notional value of approximately AUD$320 million, which included the expected payments for the purchase price and for letters of credit used to guarantee certain lease arrangements, to mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations between signing of the definitive purchase agreement on May 3, 2022 and closing. The cash flows associated with the business combination do not meet the criteria to be designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges and as such, foreign currency gains and losses are recorded on the consolidated statement of income. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized realized and unrealized losses of $5.9 million in relation to these forward contracts due to fluctuations in the Australian dollar.cost management.

Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense ~~decreased~~increased to ~~$7.9~~$12.9 million for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 from ~~$9.6~~$7.0 million for the same period in ~~2021~~2022 primarily due to ~~decreases in the outstanding debt as a result of the November 2021 debt refinance as well as a decrease in the~~increased borrowings under our revolving credit facility, higher interest rates applicable to our ~~debt.~~debt, and incremental interest associated with a deferred payment for the Only About Children acquisition. The blended weighted average interest rate for the term loans and revolving credit facility was ~~2.76%~~3.97% for three months ended ~~June 30, 2022 and 3.06%~~March 31, 2023 compared to 2.34% for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, inclusive of the effects of the ~~interest rate swap arrangements prior to their maturity on October 31, 2021.~~cash flow hedges. Based on our current interest rate projections, we estimate that our overall weighted average interest rate will approximate ~~3.5%~~4.25% for the remainder of ~~2022.~~2023.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of ~~$9.0~~$9.6 million during the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023, at an effective income tax rate of 54%, compared to an income tax expense of $4.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, at an effective income tax rate of ~~27%, compared to an income tax expense of $5.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, at an effective income tax rate of 23%~~20%. The difference between the effective income tax rate as compared to the statutory income tax rate was primarily due to the effects of excess (shortfall) tax ~~benefits~~benefit (expense) associated with the exercise or expiration of stock options and vesting of restricted stock, which had a more significant impact to the effective tax rate for ~~2021~~2023 due to the ~~lower income before income~~shortfall tax ~~and higher~~expense in 2023 compared to an excess tax ~~benefits.~~benefit in 2022 and unbenefited losses of foreign subsidiaries. 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 non-deductible transaction costs, the settlement of foreign, federal and state tax matters and the effects of excess (shortfall) tax ~~benefits~~benefit (expense) associated with the exercise or expiration of stock options and vesting of restricted stock.

During the three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023, the net shortfall tax expense from stock-based compensation expense increased tax expense by $2.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ the excess tax benefits ~~reduced~~decreased income tax expense by ~~$0.7 million~~$2.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and ~~$1.2 million, respectively. The effective income tax rate~~2022, prior to the inclusion of the excess (shortfall) tax ~~benefits from stock-based compensation and~~benefit (expense), other discrete items ~~was approximately 28% for~~and unbenefited losses in certain foreign jurisdictions, the ~~three months ended June 30, 2022~~effective tax rate approximated 30% and ~~2021.~~27%, respectively.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Income from Operations. Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.0 million, or 11%, and adjusted income from operations increased ~~$15.1~~$5.5 million, or ~~22%, and $16.3 million, or 48%, respectively,~~18% for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 over the comparable period in ~~2021 primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit in the full service center-based child care segment.~~

Revenue generated by the full service center-based child care segment in the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $100.5 million, or 16%, when compared to the same period in 2021. Revenue growth in this segment was attributable to enrollment increases in our open centers and the re-opening of our temporarily closed centers. Tuition revenue increased by $108.8 million, or 19.8%, when compared to the prior year, on a 22% increase in enrollment. As noted above, while enrollment in our centers continues to improve, our centers continue to operate below pre-COVID-19 enrollment levels as the ongoing disruption of the pandemic, infection resurgences and labor market challenges have slowed the recovery and impacted occupancy levels. We expect continued occupancy improvement throughout 2022 and into 2023. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, $3.4 million was received from government programs related to tuition support and was recorded to revenue. Lower foreign currency exchange rates for our United Kingdom and Netherlands operations partially offset our revenue growth, which decreased 2022 tuition revenue by approximately 3%, or $16.7 million. Management fees and operating subsidies from employer sponsors decreased by $8.3 million, or 11%, primarily due to funding received from government support programs that reduced certain center operating costs, which impacted the related operating subsidies. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, funding received from government support programs of $16.0 million and $5.7 million, respectively, reduced the operating subsidy revenue due from employers.

Revenue generated by back-up care services in the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $14.7 million, or 9%, when compared to the same period in 2021. Revenue growth in the back-up care segment was primarily attributable to expanded sales to new client, increased utilization of center-based and in-home back-up care from new and existing clients, and contributions from our various back-up use types.

Revenue generated by educational advisory and other services in the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $3.2 million, or 6%, 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.

~~Cost of Services.Cost of services increased $67.2 million, or 10%, to $712.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $645.0 million for the same period in 2021.~~

Cost of services in the full service center-based child care segment increased $49.8 million, or 9%, to $591.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in cost of services was primarily associated with the enrollment increase in our centers and the re-opening of our temporarily closed centers. Personnel costs increased 13% primarily in connection with the enrollment growth at our centers. Funding received from government support programs reduced center operating expenses by $46.7 million in 2022, compared to $17.0 million in government funding received in 2021. As noted above, a portion of the funding received from government support programs reduced the operating costs in certain employer-sponsored centers, which in turn reduced the operating subsidy revenue due from employers for the related child care centers by $16.0 million and $5.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

~~Table of Contents~~

Cost of services in the back-up care segment increased $16.4 million, or 21%, to $95.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, when compared to the prior year. The increase in cost of services is associated with the effects of a change in the revenue mix and the return to higher levels of center-based and in-home back-up care use in 2022 compared to more significant self-sourced reimbursed care in the prior year period. The increase in cost of services included increased care provider fees generated by the increase in utilization levels of center-based and in-home back-up care over the prior year, and continued investment 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 $1.0 million, or 4%, to $25.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 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 $51.2 million, or 27%, to $238.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $187.3 million for the same period in 2021. Gross profit margin was 25% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 an increase of approximately 2% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily due to improved margins in the full service center-based child care segment from enrollment increases at open child care centers and from the re-opening of temporarily closed centers.

~~Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.~~SGA increased $20.9 million, or 17%, to $145.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $124.6 million for the same period in 2021, in order to support the business as it continues to re-ramp. SGA was 15% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022, generally consistent with the same period in 2021.

~~Amortization of Intangible Assets.~~Amortization expense on intangible assets was $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, a decrease from $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to decreases from certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized during the period, partially offset by increases from the acquisitions completed in 2021.

~~Income from Operations.~~Income from operations increased by $31.3 million, or 66%, to $79.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. The following table summarizes income from operations and percentage of revenue for each of our segments for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Six Months Ended June 30,
2022 2021 Change 2022 vs 2021
(In thousands, except percentages)
Full-service center-based child care $ 26,883 3.7 % $ (13,905) (2.2) % $ 40,788 293.3 %
Back-up care 45,577 26.4 % 51,959 32.9 % (6,382) (12.3) %
Educational advisory and other services 6,526 12.3 % 9,666 19.4 % (3,140) (32.5) %
Income from operations $ 78,986 8.3 % $ 47,720 5.7 % $ 31,266 65.5 %

~~The increase in income from operations was due to the following:~~

•Income from operations for the full service center-based child care segment increased $40.8 million, or 293%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021 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 incremental net contributions of approximately $23 million from government support programs that primarily reduced certain operating expenses.

•Income from operations for the back-up care segment decreased $6.4 million, or 12%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021, as the service delivery mix continues to shift back towards pre-COVID-19 levels, with increasing utilization of traditional in-home and center-based back-up care and a decrease in self-sourced reimbursed care compared to the prior year.

•Income from operations for the educational advisory and other services segment decreased $3.1 million, or 32%, in the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021 due to investments in personnel, marketing and technology to support the growth of the segment.

~~Loss on Foreign Currency Forward Contracts.~~ ~~During the six months ended June 30, 2022,~~in connection with the acquisition in Australia completed in July 2022, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts with a total notional value of approximately AUD$320 million, which included the expected payments for the purchase price and for letters of credit used to guarantee certain lease arrangements, to mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations between signing of the definitive purchase agreement on May 3, 2022 and closing. The cash flows associated with the business combination do not meet the criteria to be designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges and as such, foreign currency gains and losses are recorded on the consolidated statement of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized realized and unrealized losses of $5.9 million in relation to these forward contracts due to fluctuations in the Australian dollar.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Net Interest Expense.~~Net interest expense decreased to $15.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $18.6 million for the same period in 2021, 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 2.55% and 3.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

~~Income Tax Expense.~~We recorded income tax expense of $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 at an effective income tax rate of 24%, compared to an income tax expense of $3.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, at an effective income tax rate of 11%. 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, 2022 and 2021, the excess tax benefit decreased income tax expense by $2.7 million and $5.1 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% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 increased $31.7 million, or 28%, and $33.8 million, or 71%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 over the comparable period in 2021~~ primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit in the full service center-based child care segment.

Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted net income increased ~~$26.1~~$0.6 million, or ~~60%~~2%, for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 when compared to the same period in ~~2021,~~2022, primarily due to the increase in adjusted income from operations, partially offset by higher interest expense and a higher effective tax rate.

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 and ~~at times,~~ non-recurring costs, such as value-added-tax expense related to prior periods, and, at times, other non-recurring costs, such as, impairment costs and other costs incurred due to the impact of COVID-19, transaction costs, loss on foreign currency forward contracts, and ~~transaction costs.~~net costs incurred in relation to a cyber incident. 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, the addition of new centers through development or acquisitions, 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 ~~$270.4~~$44.6 million in cash ($~~276.7~~59.9 million including restricted cash) at ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, of which ~~$19.5~~$31.9 million was held in foreign jurisdictions, compared to ~~$261.0~~$36.2 million in cash ($~~265.3~~51.9 million including restricted cash) at December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, of which ~~$25.8~~$22.4 million was held in foreign jurisdictions. Operations outside of North America accounted for ~~25%~~28% and ~~27%~~25% of our consolidated revenue in the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ respectively. The net impact on our liquidity from changes in foreign currency exchange rates was not material for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2021, and~~2022. While we expect to be impacted by fluctuations in the foreign currency exchange rates throughout the year, 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 ~~2022.~~2023.

On July 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of the outstanding shares of ~~OAC,~~Only About Children, a child care operator in Australia, for aggregate consideration of AUD$450 million. We paid approximately AUD$300 million (USD$207 million), net of cash acquired, and will pay an additional USD$106.5 million 18 months after closing. The initial purchase price was financed with cash on hand. In addition, we funded AUD$14.1 million (USD$9.7 million) for cash-backed guarantees for leases that ~~will be~~are recorded as restricted cash on our consolidated balance sheet.

Our $400 million revolving credit facility is part of our senior secured credit facilities, which ~~consist of~~also includes term ~~loans and a $400 million revolving credit facility.

We had a working capital deficit of ~~$82.4~~$417.0 million and ~~$81.9~~$438.6 million at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, respectively. Our working capital deficit has primarily arisen from using cash to make long-term investments in fixed assets and acquisitions, deferred consideration issued in relation to an acquisition and from share repurchases. We anticipate that our cash flows from operating activities will continue to improve, but will be further impacted while our center enrollment re-ramps and performance continues to ~~ramp.~~recover. As we focus on the enrollment and ramping of centers, we expect to continue to prioritize our capital allocation on investments that support current operations and strategic opportunities, as well as the principal and interest payments on our ~~debt.~~debt and revolver, and payment of deferred consideration.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ we participated in government support programs that were enacted in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including certain tax deferrals ~~tax credits~~ and federal block grant funding in the United ~~States, as well as employee wage~~States. We expect to receive less government support in 2023 as most of the ~~United Kingdom.~~programs for which we are eligible are currently expected to end by September 30, 2023. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021, $46.7~~$21.6 million and ~~$17.0~~$25.3 million, respectively, was recorded as a reduction to cost of services in relation to these benefits, of which ~~$16.0~~$7.4 million and ~~$5.7~~$9.5 million, respectively, reduced the operating subsidy revenue due from employers for the related child care centers. Additionally, during the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, amounts received for tuition support of ~~$3.4~~$0.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, were recorded to revenue. As of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021, $1.6~~2022, $2.5 million and ~~$3.3~~$1.2 million, respectively, was recorded in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet for amounts due from government support programs. As of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021, $7.0~~2022, $4.2 million and ~~$3.9~~$4.6 million, respectively, was recorded to other current liabilities related to government support received related to future ~~periods, and as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, payroll tax deferrals of $7.0 million were recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.~~periods.

The board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $400 million of our outstanding common stock, effective December 16, 2021.

During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, we ~~repurchased 0.9 million shares for $84.2 million,~~did not make any share repurchases, and at ~~June 30, 2022, $296.4~~March 31, 2023, $198.3 million remained available under the repurchase program. During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2021,~~March 31, 2022, we repurchased ~~0.5~~0.3 million shares for ~~$70.3~~$39.7 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 12 months. However, if we were to experience ~~continued or~~ renewed disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic or other similar global health crisis or if we were to undertake any significant acquisitions or make investments in the purchase of facilities for new or existing centers, we could require financing beyond our existing cash and borrowing capacity, and it could be necessary for us to obtain additional debt or equity financing.

We used $3.3 million to acquire one center in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $9.1 million used to acquire two centers as well as a camp and back-up care provider during the same period in 2021. Net proceeds received from debt securities and other investments were ~~$4.0~~$1.2 million in the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, compared to net cash ~~used~~provided in investments of ~~$0.1~~$2.4 million during the same period in the prior year.

Share repurchases of $39.9 million in 2022 did not occur in 2023 and are largely offset by net payments related to our revolving credit facility of $39.5 million in 2023, which did not occur in ~~2021, and a decrease of $17.6 million in~~2022. Additionally, proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and the issuance and sale of restricted stock in the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $4.5 million compared to the prior year due to lower volume of transactions. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $4.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and the issuance and sale of restricted stock were ~~$10.6~~$8.8 million ~~and $28.2 million~~during the same period in ~~the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.~~2022.

Borrowings under the credit facilities are subject to variable interest. We mitigate our interest rate exposure with interest rate cap agreements. In June 2020, we entered into interest rate cap agreements with a total notional value of $800 million. These interest rate cap agreements, designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, provide us with interest rate protection in the event the one-month LIBOR rate increases above 1% (effective December 30, 2022, one-month term SOFR rate increases above 0.9%). 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 an effective date of October 29, 2021, and expire on October 31, 2023. In December 2021, ~~the Company~~we entered into interest rate cap agreements with a total notional value of $900 million designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges. Interest rate cap agreements for $600 million, which have a forward starting effective date of October 31, 2023 and expire on October 31, 2025, provide the Company with interest rate protection in the event the one-month LIBOR rate increases above 2.5% (effective December 30, 2022, one-month term SOFR rate increases above 2.4%). Interest rate cap agreements for $300 million, which have a forward starting effective date of October 31, 2023 and expire on October 31, 2026, provide the Company with interest rate protection in the event the one-month LIBOR rate increases above 3.0%.

The blended weighted average interest rate for the term loans and revolving credit facility was ~~2.55%~~3.97% and ~~3.06%~~2.34% for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023 and 2022, ~~and 2021,~~ respectively, including the impact of the cash flow hedges. Based on our current interest rate projections, we estimate that our overall weighted average interest rate will approximate 4.25% for the remainder of 2023.

The term loan A and the revolving credit facility require Bright Horizons Family Solutions LLC, the borrower, and its restricted subsidiaries, to comply with a maximum first lien net leverage ratio. A breach of this covenant is subject to certain equity cure rights.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, 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, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.
