Bright Horizons Family Solutions Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2026

NEWTON, MA - (BUSINESS WIRE) - May 5, 2026 - Bright Horizons Family Solutions® Inc. (NYSE: BFAM) today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2026 and reaffirmed financial guidance for 2026 initially provided on February 12, 2026. Bright Horizons is a leading provider of high-quality early education and child care, comprehensive back-up care solutions, and educational advisory services. Our offerings support both working families and employers’ workforce strategies by supporting their employees across life and career stages, and improving employee recruitment, engagement, productivity, retention, and career advancement.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights (compared to First Quarter 2025):

•Revenue of $712 million (increase of 7%)

•Income from operations of $65 million (increase of 4%)

•Net income of $34 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.62 (decreases of 10% and 6%, respectively)

Non-GAAP financial measures

•Adjusted EBITDA* of $96 million (increase of 4%)

•Adjusted income from operations* of $65 million (increase of 4%)

•Adjusted net income* of $45 million and diluted adjusted earnings per common share* of $0.82 (unchanged and increase of 6%, respectively)

“We are pleased with the solid start to 2026, with our first quarter results reflecting disciplined execution across the business,” said Stephen Kramer, Chief Executive Officer. “We generated 7% revenue growth, including 12% growth in Back-Up and 6% growth in Full-Service. This marks our sixteenth consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth in our Back-Up Care segment,” Kramer continued. “This sustained performance reflects both the scale of our Back-Up Care service delivery and the significant opportunity we see to continue to growth in this critically important service.”

First Quarter 2026 Results

Revenue increased by $46.7 million, or 7%, to $712.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to tuition increases at our centers and increased utilization of back-up care, as well as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for our United Kingdom, Netherlands and Australia operations.

Income from operations was $64.9 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $62.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 4%. The increase in income from operations is primarily related to operating leverage in our full service center-based child care and back-up care segments from increased service levels, partially offset by an increase in overhead support costs, including investments in technology. Net income was $34.1 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $38.0 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of 10%, due to a higher effective tax rate and higher interest expense, partially offset by the increase in income from operations noted above. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.62 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $0.66 for the first quarter of 2025.

In the first quarter of 2026, adjusted EBITDA* increased by $3.3 million, or 4%, to $95.6 million, and adjusted income from operations* increased by $2.7 million, or 4%, to $64.9 million from the first quarter of 2025, due to increased service levels and contributions from the full service center-based child care and back-up care segments, partially offset by an increase in overhead support costs. Adjusted net income* was $44.6 million, consistent with the same period in the prior year, as a result of the increase in adjusted income from operations offset by higher interest expense. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share* was $0.82 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $0.77 for the first quarter of 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company operated 988 early education and child care centers with the capacity to serve approximately 112,500 children and their families.

*Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), which are commonly referred to as “non-GAAP financial measures.” Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA (which is net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, and amortization) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, and, at times, non-recurring costs, such as debt refinancing costs, lease termination costs, transaction costs and impairment costs. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to exclude, at times, non-recurring costs, such as debt refinancing costs, lease termination costs, transaction costs and impairment costs.

(e) Long-Term Incentive Program On February 9, 2026, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”), following a review of the Company’s long-term incentive equity program and with input from its independent compensation consultant (the “Compensation Consultant”), approved a revised Long-Term Incentive Program (the “LTIP”) under the Company’s shareholder approved 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated. To better align the Company’s LTIP program with market practice, the Compensation Committee approved increasing the percentage of performance-based equity awards to be awarded to the Company’s key employees, including the Company’s named executive officers, and to eliminate the award of stock options, in each case commencing with fiscal year 2026. Under the revised LTIP, each named executive officer’s LTIP award will be comprised 50% (up from 25%) of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) and 50% of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The Compensation Committee also undertook a review of the Company’s form of RSU award agreement and approved a new form of award agreement that will be used under the revised LTIP and provides, in part, that if a grantee’s employment is terminated on account of the death or disability prior to the RSU award vesting date, the award will vest either in full or pro-rata depending on the term of a grantee’s employment. This description of the form of RSU award agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of RSU award agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
