NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization—Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (“Bright Horizons” or the “Company”) provides workplace services for employers and families throughout the United States and the United Kingdom, and also in Puerto Rico, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, and India. Workplace services include center-based child care, education and enrichment programs, elementary school education, back-up dependent care (for children and elders), before and after school care, college preparation and admissions counseling, tuition reimbursement program management, and other family support services.

The Company provides its center-based child care services under two general business models: a profit and loss ("P&L) model, where the Company assumes the financial risk of operating a child care center; and a cost-plus model, where the Company is paid a fee by an employer client for managing a child care center on a cost-plus basis. The P&L model is further classified into two subcategories: (i) a sponsor model, where Bright Horizons provides child care and early educational services on either an exclusive or priority enrollment basis for employees of a specific employer sponsor; and (ii) a lease/consortium model, where the Company provides child care and early education services to the employees of multiple employers located within a specific real estate development (for example, an office building or office park), as well as to families in the surrounding community. In both our cost-plus and sponsor P&L models, the development of a new child care center, as well as ongoing maintenance and repair, is typically funded by an employer sponsor with whom the Company enters into a multi-year contractual relationship. In addition, employer sponsors typically provide subsidies for the ongoing provision of child care services for their employees. Under each model type, the Company retains responsibility for all aspects of operating the child care and early education center, including the hiring and paying of employees, contracting with vendors, purchasing supplies, and collecting tuition and related accounts receivable.

The Company also provides back-up dependent care services through our own centers and through our Back-Up Care Advantage ("BUCA") program, which offers access to a contracted network of in-home care agencies and center-based providers in locations where we do not otherwise have centers with available capacity.

Basis of Presentation—Bright Horizons is majority-owned by investment funds affiliated with Bain Capital Partners, LLC as a result of a transaction in 2008 (the "Merger"), pursuant to which a wholly owned merger subsidiary was merged with and into Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Inc. (the "Predecessor"). As part of the transaction, a new basis of accounting was established and the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements by generally accepted accounting principles and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 and the results of its consolidated operations and consolidated cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Reclassifications—The Company has revised the presentation of certain captions for prior periods within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. The Company has separately classified the amortization of original issue discount and deferred financing costs which were previously combined with depreciation and amortization expense. The revision had no impact to net cash provided (used by) operating, investing, or financing activities.

Public Offering—On January 30, 2013, the Company completed an initial public offering (“the Offering”) and, after the exercise of the overallotment option on February 21, 2013, issued a total of 11.6 million shares of common stock in exchange for $233.3 million, net of offering costs including $1.6 million expensed in 2012. The Company used the proceeds of the Offering, as well as certain amounts from the 2013 refinancing discussed below, to repay the principal and accumulated interest under its senior notes outstanding on January 30, 2013.

On January 11, 2013, the Company converted each share of its Class L common stock into 35.1955 shares of Class A common stock, and, immediately following the conversion of its Class L common stock, reclassified the Class A common

Table of Contents

stock into common stock, for which 475 million shares were authorized. The Company also authorized 25 million shares of undesignated preferred stock for issuance.

On June 19, 2013 and March 25, 2014, certain of the Company’s shareholders completed the sale of 9.8 million and 7.9 million shares, respectively, of the Company’s stock in secondary offerings (“the Secondaries”). The Company did not receive proceeds from the sale of shares in the Secondaries. The Company incurred $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 in relation to the 2013 secondary offering, as well as $0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 in relation to the 2014 secondary offering, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

New Accounting Pronouncements—In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today's guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration included in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS

As part of the Company’s growth strategy to expand through strategic and synergistic acquisitions, the Company has made the following acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013. The goodwill resulting from these acquisitions arises largely from synergies expected from combining the operations of the businesses acquired with our existing operations, as well as from benefits derived from the assembled workforce acquired.

2014 Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company acquired three centers in the United States for cash consideration of $6.5 million. The Company recorded goodwill of $5.4 million related to the full service center-based care segment, which will be deductible for tax purposes. Intangible assets of $1.2 million, consisting primarily of customer relationships, fixed assets of $0.3 million, and a working capital deficit of $0.4 million were also recorded in relation to these acquisitions. The allocation of purchase price consideration is based on preliminary estimates of fair value; such estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as the Company gathers additional information regarding the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.

2013 Acquisitions

Children’s Choice Learning Centers, Inc.

On July 22, 2013, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of Children’s Choice Learning Centers, Inc., an operator of 49 employer-sponsored child care centers throughout the United States, for cash consideration of $50.8 million, inclusive of certain adjustments. The purchase price was financed with available cash on hand and funds available under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which were repaid in the fourth quarter of 2013.

5. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, which requires the allocation of earnings to each class of common stock outstanding and to unvested share-based payment awards that participate in dividends with common stock, also referred to herein as unvested participating shares.

The Company’s unvested share-based payment awards include unvested shares awarded as restricted stock awards at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The restricted stock awards vest at the end of three years. The unvested shares participate equally in dividends. See Note 6 for a discussion of the current year unvested stock awards and issuances.

6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Treasury Stock

On March 28, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the potential repurchase of up to $225.0 million of its common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, 78,447 shares were repurchased for $3.1 million under this program. All repurchased shares have been retired.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company has the 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which became effective on January 24, 2013, and allows for the issuance of equity awards of up to 5 million shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2014, there were approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock available for grant.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company granted options to purchase 859,627 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $36.56 per share that have ratable or cliff vesting over one to five years. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $11.19 per share. The fair value of each option to purchase common stock was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 30.0%; risk free interest rate of 1.82%; and expected life of options of 5.3 years.

Restricted stock awards are also granted at the discretion of the Board of Directors as allowed under the Plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 259,525 shares of restricted stock were granted to certain senior managers and key employees, which vest at the end of three years and are accounted for as nonvested stock. The restricted stock was sold for a price equal to 50% of the fair value of the stock at the date of grant. Proceeds from the issuance of restricted stock are recorded as other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet until the earlier of vesting or forfeiture of the awards. Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards is calculated based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant, which will be recognized on a straight line basis over the requisite service period. At June 30, 2014, there were 259,525 unvested shares of restricted stock outstanding, which were legally issued at the date of grant but are not considered common stock issued and outstanding in accordance with accounting guidance until the requisite service period is fulfilled.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, restricted stock units were awarded to members of the Board of Directors as allowed under the Plan. The awards allow for the issuance of a share of the Company's common stock for each vested unit upon the earliest of termination of service as a member of the Board of Directors or five years after the date of the award. The Company issued 6,066 units at a weighted average fair value of $39.58 for a total value of $0.2 million. The units vested upon issuance.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million in selling, general and administrative expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

At June 30, 2014, there was $17.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plans, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining requisite service periods of approximately three years.

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective income tax rates were 36.0% and 7.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company's effective income tax rates were 36.2% and 25.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rate is based upon estimated income before income taxes for the year, the geographical composition of the income and estimated permanent tax adjustments. The effective income tax rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for various reasons, including discrete items such as settlement of foreign, Federal and State tax issues.

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits were $2.0 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $1.7 million at June 30, 2014 and $1.6 million at December 31, 2013.

The Company expects the unrecognized tax benefits to change over the next twelve months if certain tax matters settle with the applicable taxing jurisdiction during this time frame, or, if the applicable statutes of limitations lapse. The impact of the amount of such changes to previously recorded uncertain tax positions could range from zero to $1.0 million, exclusive of interest and penalties.

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries are subject to U.S. Federal income tax as well as multiple state jurisdictions. U.S. Federal income tax returns are typically subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the statute of limitations for Federal income tax returns is three years. The Company's filings for 2010 through 2013 are subject to audit based upon the Federal statute of limitations and there is an ongoing audit of the 2011 tax year.

Table of Contents

State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of three to five years after filing of the respective return. The state impact of any Federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. There were no significant settlements of state audits during the second quarter of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, there were four income tax audits in process and the tax years from 2010 to 2013 are subject to audit.

The Company is also subject to corporate income tax at its subsidiaries located in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, India, Canada, Ireland, and Puerto Rico. The tax returns for the Company’s subsidiaries located in foreign jurisdictions are subject to examination for periods ranging from one to seven years.

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and applies the following fair value 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 (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The Company uses observable inputs where relevant and whenever possible.

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.

Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-term debt. The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their carrying value. As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s long-term debt had a book value of $778.2 million and a fair value of $779.1 million using a model that considers observable inputs (level 2 inputs).

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company mitigates its exposure by maintaining its cash and cash equivalents in financial institutions of high credit standing. The Company’s accounts receivable, which are derived primarily from the services it provides, are 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. The Company believes that no significant credit risk exists at June 30, 2014.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Bright Horizons' work/life services are primarily comprised of full service center-based child care, back-up dependent care, and other educational advisory services. Full service center-based care includes the traditional center-based child care, preschool, and elementary education, which have similar operating characteristics and meet the criteria for aggregation. Full service center-based care derives its revenues primarily from contractual arrangements with corporate clients and from tuition. The Company’s back-up dependent care services consist of center-based back-up child care, in-home care, mildly ill care, and adult/elder care. The Company’s other educational advisory services consists of the remaining services, including college preparation and admissions counseling and tuition assistance, counseling and management services, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure and are not material for segment reporting individually or in the aggregate. The Company and its chief operating decision makers evaluate performance based on revenues and income from operations.

The assets and liabilities of the Company are managed centrally and are reported internally in the same manner as the consolidated financial statements; thus, no additional information is produced or included herein.

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. We believe that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those listed below and included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013:

•	Our substantial indebtedness could affect our financial condition;


•	That the terms of our indebtedness could restrict our current and future operations;


•	The possibility that acquisitions may disrupt our operations and expose us to additional risk;


•	Our reliance on the expertise of operating staff, especially in international markets;


•	The possibility that adverse publicity would have a negative impact on the demand for our services and the value of our brand;


•	The possibility that our business activities subject us to litigation risks that could result in significant monetary or reputational damages;


•	Our ability to pass on our increased costs;


•	Changes in our relationships with employer sponsors;


•	Our ability to obtain and maintain adequate insurance coverage at a reasonable cost;


•	Changes in laws or regulations that govern our business;


•	Our ability to withstand seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our services;

Introduction and Overview

The following is a discussion of the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition and liquidity and cash flows of Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Our business is subject to seasonal and quarterly fluctuations. Demand for child care and early education and elementary school services has historically decreased during the summer months when school is not in session, at which time families are often on vacation or have alternative child care arrangements. In addition, our enrollment declines as older children transition to elementary schools. Demand for our services generally increases in September and October coinciding with the beginning of the new school year and remains relatively stable throughout the rest of the school year. In addition, use of our back-up dependent care services tends to be higher when schools are not in session and during holiday periods, which can increase the operating costs of the program and impact the results of operations. Results of operations may also fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of, among other things, the performance of existing centers, including enrollment and staffing fluctuations, the number and timing of new center openings, acquisitions and management transitions, the length of time required for new centers to achieve profitability, center closings, refurbishment or relocation, the contract model mix (P&L versus cost-plus) of new and existing centers, the timing and level of sponsorship payments, competitive factors and general economic conditions.

(“Children’s Choice”), an operator of 49 centers in the United States on July 22, 2013, contributed approximately $13.7 million of incremental revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, we operated 882 child care and early education centers compared to 830 centers at June 30, 2013.

Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $29.6 million, or 13%, to $265.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of services in the full service center-based care services segment increased $26.1 million, or 12%, to $238.8 million in 2014. Personnel costs, which typically represent approximately 70-75% of total cost of services for this segment, increased 11% as a result of a 13% increase in overall enrollment and routine wage increases. In addition, program supplies, materials, food and facilities costs increased 14% in connection with the enrollment growth at new and existing centers, and the incremental occupancy costs associated with centers that have been added since June 30, 2013. Cost of services in the back-up dependent care segment increased $2.2 million, or 11%, to $22.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily for personnel costs and for increased care provider fees associated with the higher levels of back-up services provided. Cost of services in the other educational advisory services segment increased by $1.2 million, or 44%, to $4.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to personnel and technology costs related to the incremental sales of these services.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $7.7 million, or 10%, to $83.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue was 24% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to contributions from new centers and from ramping P&L centers, which achieve proportionately lower levels of operating costs in relation to revenue as they ramp up enrollment to steady state levels, increased enrollment in our mature P&L centers and expanded back-up services revenue with proportionately lower direct costs of services.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SGA"). SGA increased $0.8 million, or 2%, to $33.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $32.4 million for the same period in the prior year, and as a percentage of revenue remained consistent at approximately 10% from the same period in the prior year. Results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included a $0.6 million of expenses associated with a secondary offering and approximately $0.3 million of costs related to the acquisition of Kidsunlimited, which was completed on April 10, 2013. After taking these respective charges into account, SGA increased over the comparable period due to continued investments in technology and marketing, incremental overhead associated with the operations of acquired businesses, an increase in compensation costs, including annual wage increases and stock-based compensation, as well as routine increases in SGA costs.

Amortization. Amortization expense on intangible assets of $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased by $7.1 million, or 20%, to $42.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. Income from operations was 12% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 11% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in income from operations was due to the following:

•

In the full service center-based care segment, income from operations increased $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included $0.6 million of expenses associated with a secondary offering and $0.3 million of acquisition related costs. In addition to these items, income from operations increased over the comparable period due to the tuition increases and enrollment gains over the prior year as well as contributions from new centers that have been added since June 30, 2013.


•	Income from operations for the back-up dependent care segment increased $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to the expanding revenue base.

Table of Contents


•	Income from operations in the other educational advisory services segment increased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to the expanding revenue base.

Net Interest Expense and Other. Net interest expense and other decreased to $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $8.9 million for the same period in 2013 due a reduction in the effective interest rate on borrowings.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $12.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to an income tax expense of $2.0 million during the comparable period in the prior year. The effective rate increased to 36% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 7% in the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase was due to the higher projected pre-tax income for the year ending December 31, 2014 compared to 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Income from Operations. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income from operations increased $7.8 million, or 14%, and $6.2 million, or 17%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013 primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit due to additional contributions from full-service centers, including the impact of acquired centers, as well as growth in the back-up dependent care business, offset by modest increases in SGA spending.

Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted net income increased $4.4 million, or 19%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the incremental gross profit described above, which was offset by increases in SGA spending to support the growth.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

Revenue. Revenue increased $89.3 million, or 15%, to $680.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $590.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Revenue growth is primarily attributable to contributions from new and ramping child care and early education centers, expanded sales of our back-up dependent care services and typical annual tuition increases of 3-4%. Revenue generated by full service center-based care services in the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $75.6 million, or 15%, when compared to the same period in 2013. Our acquisitions of Kidsunlimited and Children’s Choice contributed approximately $44.1 million of incremental revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue generated by back-up dependent care services in the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $8.3 million, or 12%, when compared to the same period in 2013. Additionally, revenue generated by other educational advisory services in the six months ended June 30, 2014 increased by $5.4 million, or 55%, when compared to the same period in 2013.

Cost of Services. Cost of services increased $70.3 million, or 16%, to $520.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior year. Cost of services in the full service center-based care services segment increased $63.6 million, or 16%, to $468.4 million million in 2014. Personnel costs increased 13% as a result of a 13% increase in overall enrollment and routine wage increases. In addition, program supplies, materials, food and facilities costs increased 22% in connection with the enrollment growth and the incremental occupancy costs associated with centers that have been added since June 30, 2013. Cost of services in the back-up dependent care segment increased $3.6 million, or 9%, to $42.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily for personnel costs and for increased care provider fees associated with the higher levels of back-up services provided. Cost of services in the other educational advisory services segment increased by $3.1 million, or 55%, to $8.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to personnel and technology costs related to the incremental sales of these services.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $19.0 million, or 13%, to $160.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior year. Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenue was 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The increase in gross profit is primarily due to contributions from new and acquired centers, increased enrollment in our mature and ramping P&L centers and expanded back-up services revenue with proportionately lower direct cost partially offset by training and integration costs of the 2013 acquisitions as well as costs associated with additional lease model centers opened in 2013 and 2014.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SGA decreased $7.4 million, or 10%, to $68.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $76.0 million for the same period in the prior year, and as a percentage of revenue decreased to 10% from 13% in the same period in the prior year. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included a $7.5 million fee for the termination of the management agreement with Bain Capital Partners LLC (“Sponsor termination fee”), a $5.0 million stock-based compensation charge for certain stock options that vested upon completion of the initial public offering (“performance-based stock compensation charge”), $0.6 million of costs associated with the completion of a secondary offering and $1.8 million of acquisition related costs. After taking these respective charges into account, SGA increased over the comparable period due to continued investments in technology and marketing, incremental overhead associated with the operations of acquired businesses, an increase in compensation costs, including annual wage increases and stock-based compensation costs, as well as routine increases in SGA costs compared to the prior year.

Amortization. Amortization expense on intangible assets totaled $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to acquisitions previously described.

Income from Operations. Income from operations increased by $25.7 million, or 51%, to $76.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. Income from operations was 11% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 9% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase was due to the following:

•

In the full service center-based care segment, income from operations increased $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included an aggregate proportionate charge of $12.2 million for the Sponsor termination fee, the performance-based stock compensation charge, costs associated with the completion of a secondary offering of our common shares and acquisition related costs. After taking these charges into account, income from operations increased $6.9 million in 2014 primarily due to the tuition increases and enrollment gains over the prior year as well as contributions from new and acquired centers that have been added since June 30, 2013, partially offset by incremental overhead from acquired centers during the integration period.

•

Income from operations for the back-up dependent care segment increased $5.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included an aggregate proportionate charge of $1.8 million for the Sponsor termination fee and the performance-based stock compensation charge. After taking these charges into account, income from operations increased $3.6 million in 2014 due to the expanding revenue base.

•

Income from operations in the other educational advisory services segment increased $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 included an aggregate proportionate charge of $0.8 million for the Sponsor termination fee and the performance-based stock compensation charge. After taking these charges into account, income from operations increased $0.9 million in 2014.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. In connection with the refinancing of all of our existing debt on January 30, 2013, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $63.7 million which included the redemption premiums and the write-off of existing deferred financing costs.

Net Interest Expense and Other. Net interest expense and other decreased to $17.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $22.2 million for the same period in 2013 due to the debt refinancing completed on January 30, 2013, which reduced the borrowings outstanding as well as the interest rate on such borrowings.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded an income tax expense of $21.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to an income tax benefit of $8.8 million during the comparable period in the prior year. The effective rate increased to 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 25% in the prior year, both of which are less than the statutory rate due to the impact of permanent differences, primarily deductions allowed in foreign jurisdictions. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 varied from the statutory rate due to the greater impact of permanent adjustments on a lower income before income taxes in 2013. The income was lower in 2013 resulting from the loss on extinguishment of debt, the Sponsor termination fee and the performance-based stock compensation expense in 2013. Additionally, we recognized a previously unrecognized tax benefit of approximately $4.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 upon completion of a tax enquiry in the United Kingdom.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Income from Operations. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income from operations increased $16.6 million, or 16%, and $11.4 million, or 17% respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 over the comparable period in 2013 primarily as a result of the increase in gross profit due to additional contributions from full-service centers, including the impact of acquired centers, as well as the growth in the back-up dependent care business, offset by increases in SGA spending.

Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted net income increased $11.5 million, or 30%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the incremental gross profit described above, which was offset by increases in SGA spending to support the growth. Adjusted net income also increased due to the reduction in interest expense associated with the refinancing of our debt in January 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP, and the use of the terms adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income provide investors with useful information with respect to our historical operations. We present adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income 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, the excess of rent expense over cash rent expense and stock compensation expense, and the effect of fees associated with our Sponsor management agreement, which was terminated in connection with the completion of our initial public offering on January 30, 2013, as well as the expenses related to the acquisition of businesses. In addition, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income 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 measures also function as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income 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, net cash provided by 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. The Company understands that although adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income 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 the Company’s 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, the Company’s 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;


•	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.

Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share

On January 30, 2013, the Company completed an initial public offering and, after the exercise of the overallotment option on February 21, 2013, issued a total of 11.6 million shares of common stock. On January 11, 2013, the Company effected a 1–for–1.9704 reverse split of its Class A common stock. In addition, the Company converted each share of its Class L common stock into 35.1955 shares of Class A common stock, and, immediately following the conversion of its Class L common stock, reclassified those shares as well as all outstanding shares of Class A common stock, into common stock. As a result of the reclassification of Class A common stock to common stock, all references to “Class A common stock” have been changed to “common stock” for all periods presented. The number of common shares used in the calculations of diluted earnings per pro forma common share and diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share for the six months ended June 30, 2013 give effect to the conversion of all weighted average outstanding shares of Class L common stock at the conversion factor of 35.1955 common shares for each Class L share, as if the conversion was completed at the beginning of the period.

The calculations of diluted earnings per pro forma common share and diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share also include the dilutive effect of common stock options and restricted stock, using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method. Shares sold in the initial public offering are included in the diluted earnings per pro forma common share and diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share calculations beginning on the date that

Table of Contents

such shares were actually issued. Diluted earnings per pro forma common share is calculated using net income in accordance with GAAP. Diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share is calculated using adjusted net income, as defined above.

Diluted earnings per pro forma common share and diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP, and our use of the terms diluted earnings per pro forma common share and diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share may vary from similar measures reported by others in our industry due to the potential differences in the method of calculation. Diluted earnings per pro forma common share and diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share should not be considered as alternatives to earnings (loss) per share derived in accordance with GAAP. Diluted earnings per pro forma common share and diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share have important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, we rely primarily on our GAAP results. However, we believe that presenting diluted earnings per pro forma common share and diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share is appropriate to provide additional information to investors to compare our performance prior to and after the completion of our initial public offering and related conversion of Class L shares into common as well as to provide investors with useful information regarding our historical operating results. The following table sets forth the computation of diluted earnings per pro forma common share and diluted adjusted earnings per pro forma common share:

(1)	The weighted average number of Class L shares in the actual Class L earnings per share calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2013 represents the weighted average from the beginning of the period up through the date of conversion of the Class L shares into common shares. As such, the pro forma weighted average number of common

Table of Contents

shares includes an adjustment to the weighted average number of Class L shares outstanding to reflect the length of time the Class L shares were outstanding prior to conversion relative to the respective three month periods. The converted Class L shares are already included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period after their conversion.


(2)	Represents the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock using the two-class method. For purposes of the diluted loss per pro forma common share for the six months ended June 30, 2013, there is no dilutive effect since there was a loss recorded during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash requirements are for the ongoing operations of our existing child care centers, back-up dependent care and other educational advisory services, the addition of new centers through development or acquisition and debt financing obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash flows from operations and borrowings available under our $100.0 million revolving credit facility. No amounts were outstanding at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013 under the revolving credit facility.

We had a working capital deficit of $25.4 million and $89.9 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Our working capital deficit has arisen from using cash generated from operations to make long-term investments in fixed assets and acquisitions. We anticipate that we will continue to generate positive cash flows from operating activities and that the cash generated will be used principally to fund ongoing operations of our new and existing full service child care centers and expanded operations in the back-up dependent care and educational advisory segments, as well as to make scheduled principal and interest payments.

On January 30, 2013, we completed our initial public offering (the "Offering"), raising $234.9 million, net of expenses, underwriting discounts and commissions, including the exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option which was completed on February 21, 2013. We used the net proceeds from the Offering and certain proceeds from the issuance of a $790.0 million senior secured term loan to redeem our senior notes in full for $213.3 million. We used the remainder of the $790.0 million senior secured term loan to refinance all of the remaining existing indebtedness under the senior credit facilities and the senior subordinated notes. The $790.0 million senior secured term loan has a maturity date in 2020 and is part of an $890.0 million senior credit facility, which includes a $100.0 million revolving credit facility due 2018.

On March 28, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a $225 million repurchase program of its common stock. 78,447 shares of common stock have been re-acquired and retired as of June 30, 2014.

We believe that funds provided by operations, our existing cash and cash equivalent balances and borrowings available under our revolving line of credit will be adequate to meet planned operating and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months under current operating conditions. However, if we were to undertake any significant acquisitions or investments in the purchase of facilities for new or existing child care and early education centers, which requires financing beyond our existing borrowing capacity, it may be necessary for us to obtain additional debt or equity financing. We may not be able to obtain such financing on reasonable terms, or at all. As part of our growth strategy, and in addition to making capital expenditures, we expect to continue to make selective acquisitions, which may vary in size and which are less predictable in terms of the timing of the capital requirements.

The $890.0 million senior secured credit facilities consist of a $790.0 million secured term loan facility and a $100.0 million revolving credit facility. The term loans and revolving credit facility mature on January 30, 2020 and January 30, 2018, respectively. The term loan facility requires quarterly principal payments of $2.0 million, with the remaining balance due at maturity. There were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2014 with the entire amount available for borrowings as of that date.

All borrowings under the credit agreement are subject to variable interest rates. Borrowings under the term loan facility bear interest at a rate per annum ranging from 1.75% to 2.0% over the Base Rate, or 2.75% to 3.0% over the Eurocurrency Rate, each as defined in the credit agreement. Borrowings under our revolving facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 1.75% over the Base Rate, or 2.75% over the Eurocurrency Rate. The Base Rate is the highest of (1) the prime rate of Goldman Sachs Bank USA, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% and (3) the Eurocurrency Rate with a one month interest period plus 1.0%. The Eurocurrency Rate option is the one, two, three or six month LIBOR rate, as selected by Bright Horizons Family Solutions LLC (the "Borrower"), or, with the approval of the applicable lenders, the nine, twelve or less than one month LIBOR rate. The Base Rate is subject to an interest rate floor of 2.0% and the Eurocurrency Rate is subject to an interest rate floor of 1.0%, both only with respect to the term loan facility.

The senior secured credit facilities contain certain customary affirmative covenants and other covenants that, among other things, may restrict the ability of Bright Horizons Family Solutions LLC, our indirect subsidiary, and its restricted subsidiaries, to: incur certain liens; make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; incur additional indebtedness or guarantees; engage in transactions with affiliates; sell assets, including capital stock of our subsidiaries; alter the business conducted; enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and, consolidate or merge.

In addition, the credit agreement governing the $890.0 million senior secured credit facilities requires Bright Horizons Capital Corp., our direct subsidiary, to be a passive holding company, subject to certain exceptions. The revolving credit facility requires Bright Horizons Family Solutions LLC, the borrower, and its restricted subsidiaries to comply with a maximum senior secured first lien net leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant, to be tested only if, on the last day of each

fiscal quarter, the amount of revolving loans and/or swingline loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility exceed 25% of the revolving commitments on such date. The breach of this covenant is subject to certain equity cure rights.

The credit agreement governing the new senior secured credit facilities contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. We were in compliance with our financial covenants at June 30, 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2014, we have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Since December 31, 2013, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposures to interest rate or foreign currency rate fluctuations. The Company currently does not enter into derivatives or other market risk sensitive instruments for the purpose of hedging or for trading purposes.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2014, the Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively) regarding the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s 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”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits 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 it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

On May 14, 2013, the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) issued an updated version of its Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Originally issued in 1992 (1992 Framework), the framework helps organizations design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of internal control concepts and simplify their use and application. The 1992 Framework remains available during the transition period, which extends to December 15, 2014, after which time COSO will consider it as superseded by the 2013 Framework. As of June 30, 2014, the Company continues to utilize the 1992 Framework during the transition to the 2013 Framework by the end of 2014.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are, from time to time, subject to claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Such claims have in the past generally been covered by insurance. We believe the resolution of such legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of any such actions.
