• | Revenue increased 10% to $422 million |

It is a valuable recognition that demonstrates to our clients the passion, professionalism and dedication of the Bright Horizons family of people across the country. Creating a culture where women and men are proud to grow their careers while making a lasting difference in the lives of others is core to our ability to deliver on our mission and achieve excellence.”
First Quarter 2017 Results
Revenue increased $36.8 million, or 10%, in the first quarter of 2017 from the first quarter of 2016 on contributions from new and ramping full-service child care centers, average price increases of 3-4%, and expanded sales of back-up dependent care and educational advisory services.
Income from operations was $51.4 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $48.6 million in the same 2016 period, an increase of $2.8 million, or 6%, primarily due to an increase in gross profit, partially offset by increases in selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in gross profit and income from operations reflects operating leverage from enrollment gains in mature and ramping centers, contributions from new child care centers, back-up dependent care and educational advisory clients that have been added since the first quarter of 2016, and strong cost management, partially offset by the costs incurred during the ramp-up of certain new lease/consortium centers opened during 2016 and 2017, investments in technology systems and personnel to support the delivery of our services and costs incurred during the integration of recently completed acquisitions. Net income was $41.4 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to net income of $24.7 million in the same 2016 period, an increase of $16.6 million, or 67%, due to improved operating performance as well as the tax benefit of $15.1 million related to the adoption of new accounting guidance for the treatment of excess tax benefits associated with certain equity transactions which are now included in the provision for income taxes. The excess tax benefit from stock-based compensation of $1.9 million was recorded to the balance sheet in 2016 in accordance with previous guidance. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.68 for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $0.40 in the same 2016 period, or $0.43 had the same new accounting guidance applied to the 2016 period.
In the first quarter of 2017, adjusted EBITDA increased $6.0 million, or 8%, to $78.3 million, and adjusted income from operations increased $2.6 million, or 5%, to $51.4 million, from the first quarter of 2016 due primarily to the expanded gross profit. Adjusted net income increased by $5.8 million, or 19%, to $36.9 million on the expanded income from operations and a lower effective tax rate. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share was $0.61 compared to $0.51 in the first quarter of 2016.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company operated 1,041 early care and education centers with the capacity to serve 115,700 children and families.
*Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, straight line rent expense, stock-based compensation expense, expenses related to secondary offerings and debt financing transactions, and expenses associated with completed acquisitions. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before expenses related to the completion of secondary offerings and debt financing transactions, and expenses associated with completed acquisitions. Adjusted net income represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, secondary offering expenses, debt financing transaction expenses, expenses associated with completed acquisitions and the income tax provision (benefit) thereon. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share is a non-GAAP measure, calculated using adjusted net income. These non-GAAP measures are more fully described and are reconciled from the respective measures determined under GAAP, in “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures” and the attached table “Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company generated approximately $106.7 million of cash flows from operations compared to $85.8 million for the same period in 2016, and invested $22.9 million in fixed assets and acquisitions compared to $13.6 million in the same 2016 period. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $77.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $43.8 million for the same 2016 period. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company's cash and cash equivalents grew $6.9 million to $21.5 million.
2017 Outlook

•Revenue growth in 2017 in the range of 10-12%
•Net income growth and diluted earnings per common share growth in 2017 in the range of 35-37%

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes statements that express the Company's opinions, expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or projections regarding future events or future results and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements.” The Company's actual results may vary significantly from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements, which can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “projects,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates,” or, in each case, their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts. They include statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, prospects, growth, strategies, our service offerings, future impact of excess tax benefits, and our 2017 financial guidance. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. The Company believes that these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in the demand for child care and other dependent care services, including variation in enrollment trends and lower than expected demand from employer sponsor clients; the possibility that acquisitions may disrupt our operations and expose us to additional risk; our ability to pass on our increased costs; our indebtedness and the terms of such indebtedness; our ability to withstand seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our services; our ability to implement our growth strategies successfully; and other risks and
uncertainties more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 1, 2017, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the time of this release and we do not undertake to publicly update or revise them, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) throughout this press release, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements - adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share - which present operating results on a basis adjusted for certain items. The Company uses these non-GAAP measures as key performance indicators for the purpose of evaluating performance internally, and in connection with determining incentive compensation for Company management, including executive officers. Adjusted EBITDA is also used in connection with the determination of certain ratio requirements under our credit agreement. We also believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful information with respect to our historical operations. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace, and should not be considered superior to, the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. The use of the terms adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share may differ from similar measures reported by other companies and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share are reconciled from the respective measures under GAAP in the attached table “Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets, expenses related to the completion of secondary offerings and debt financing transactions, and expenses associated with completed acquisitions as well as tax effects associated with these items. The adjustments to net income and diluted earnings per common share in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the types of charges and costs excluded from adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per common share in prior quarters. The exclusion of these charges and costs in future periods will have an impact on the Company’s adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per common share.

(e) | Represents income tax expense calculated on adjusted income before tax at a tax rate of approximately 27% and 35% in the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The tax rate for 2017 represents an effective tax rate of approximately 35% applied to the expected adjusted income before tax for the full year, less the effect of the known excess tax benefit of $15.1 million associated with stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock which was recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2017, as well as an estimate of additional excess tax benefits related to such equity transactions for the remainder of 2017, which the Company estimates in the range of $1.0 million to $1.5 million per quarter or a total of $3.0 million to $4.5 million for the remainder of the year. However, the timing, volume and tax benefits associated with such future equity activity will affect these estimates and the estimated effective tax rate for the year. |
(f) | Represents estimated income tax expense using the effective tax rate of approximately 33% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and 24% for the year ended December 31, 2017, based on projected consolidated income before tax and including the impact of the realized excess tax benefit of $15.1 million through March 31, 2017, as well as an estimate of additional excess tax benefits related to such equity transactions for the remainder of 2017, which the Company estimates in the range of $1.0 million to $1.5 million per quarter or a total of $3.0 million to $4.5 million for the remainder of the year. |
(g) | Represents estimated tax on adjusted income before tax using the effective tax rate of approximately 27%. |
