“Amid the ongoing COVID-19 disruption, we have continued to invest in our long-term success. We have taken important steps to extend our market position, deepen our global client relationships, and strengthen our employee value proposition. As we turn the page on 2021 and look ahead to 2022 and beyond, I remain confident that our critical services and durable business model will continue to deliver long-term growth and value as we deliver solutions that meet the changing needs of working parents and learners.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Results
Revenue increased $85.6 million, or 23%, in the fourth quarter of 2021 from the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily attributable to enrollment gains at our centers, and to a lesser extent, expanded sales and utilization of back-up care services. While enrollment in our child care centers continues to improve, our centers are still operating below pre-COVID-19 enrollment levels.
Income from operations was $35.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in income from operations reflects improved gross profit contributions in the full service center-based child care segment resulting from higher enrollment compared to the prior period. The reduction in income from operations in our back-up care services reflects the shift in service delivery mix with increasing utilization of traditional in-home and center-based care compared to the prior year. Net income was $17.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $2.6 million in the same 2020 period, an increase of $15.1 million, due to the increase in income from operations, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $0.04 for the fourth quarter of 2020.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, adjusted EBITDA* increased $26.0 million, or 49%, to $78.8 million, and adjusted income from operations* increased $28.0 million, or 152%, to $46.5 million from the fourth quarter of 2020, due primarily to the increase in gross profit in the full service center-based child care segment, partially offset by reduced contributions from our back-up care services. Adjusted net income* increased by $16.8 million, or 76%, to $39.0 million, due to the increase in income from operations, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share* was $0.65 for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to $0.36 in the same period in 2020.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had more than 1,350 client relationships with employers across a diverse array of industries, and operated 1,014 early education and child care centers with the capacity to serve approximately 114,000 children and their families, of which 977 centers were open.
*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, stock-based compensation expense, impairment costs and other costs incurred due to the impact of COVID-19 including center closing costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, transaction costs, and duplicative corporate office costs. Adjusted income from operations represents income from operations before impairment costs and other COVID-19 related costs, transaction costs, and duplicative corporate office costs. Adjusted net income represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, amortization expense, impairment costs and other COVID-19 related costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, transaction costs, duplicative corporate office costs, and the income tax provision (benefit) thereon. Diluted adjusted earnings per common share is a non-GAAP measure, calculated using adjusted net income. These non-GAAP measures are more fully described and are reconciled from the respective measures determined under GAAP in “Presentation of Non-GAAP Measures” and the attached table “Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Bright Horizons has a strong balance sheet, with $261 million of cash and cash equivalents and $400 million available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we generated approximately $227.3 million of cash from operations, compared to $209.6 million for the same period in 2020, and made investments in fixed assets, acquisitions and other investments totaling $117.4 million, compared to $83.8 million for the same period in the prior year.
2022 Outlook
Although the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to affect our global operations, we remain focused on our strategic priorities to deliver high-quality education, care and workforce services. Based on current trends and expectations, we currently expect fiscal year 2022 revenue to be in the range of $2.05 billion to $2.15 billion, and diluted adjusted earnings per common share in the range of $3.20 to $3.40. The Company will provide additional information on its outlook during its earnings conference call.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s actual results may vary significantly from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements, which can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “projects,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates” or “anticipates,” or, in each case, their negatives or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include all matters that are not historical facts, including statements regarding the Company’s intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity, operating expectations, the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on our operations, our investments, our value proposition, our market position, our client relations, our future opportunities and business model, our recovery, enrollment, our long-term growth and value, estimated effective tax rate and tax expense and benefits, our solutions and ability to respond to changing demands, our future business and financial performance, and our 2022 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, prolonged disruptions to our operations as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including current conditions and future developments in the public health arena; the continued impact of COVID-19 on the global economy; developments in the persistence and treatment of COVID-19 and its variants; the approval, delivery, effectiveness and public acceptance of vaccines for adults and children; vaccine and workplace mandates; the availability or lack of government support; changes in the demand for child care, dependent care and other workplace solutions, including variations in enrollment trends and lower than expected demand from employer sponsor clients as well as variations in return to work protocols; the tight labor market for teachers and staff and ability to hire and retain talent; the possibility that acquisitions may disrupt our operations and expose us to additional risk; increased costs resulting from recommended or mandated enhanced health and safety protocols and physical distancing; our ability to pass on our increased costs; our indebtedness and the terms of such indebtedness; our ability to withstand seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our services; our ability to implement our growth strategies successfully; changes in tax rates or policies or in rates of inflation; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 1, 2021, and other factors disclosed from time to time in our 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.
With respect to our outlook for diluted adjusted earnings per common share, we do not provide the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or corresponding reconciliation to such GAAP financial measure on a forward-looking basis. We are unable to predict with reasonable certainty and without unreasonable effort certain items such as the timing and amount of future impairment and other COVID-19 related costs, transaction costs, excess income tax benefits, as well as gains or losses from the early retirement of debt and the outcome from legal proceedings. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors outside our management’s control, and could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, our future period earnings per share as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
For more information regarding adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income and diluted adjusted earnings per common share, please see the reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures in the attached table “Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. Non-GAAP Reconciliations.”

COVID-19 related costs represent impairment costs for investments and long-lived assets primarily as a result of center closures and decreases in the fair values for certain centers that were open or temporarily closed, and other costs incurred as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on our operations and related management actions.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, impairment costs totaled $7.6 million related to the full service center-based child care segment, and for the year ended December 31, 2020, impairment costs totaled $28.3 million, of which $26.2 million related to the full service center-based child care segment, and $2.1 million related to the back-up care segment. Other COVID-19 related costs totaled $1.5 million and $6.6 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and were primarily associated with the closure of centers, including severance and facilities costs. |
