1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization — Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (“Bright Horizons” or the “Company”) provides center-based early education and child care, back-up child and adult/elder care, tuition assistance and student loan repayment program administration, educational advisory services, and other support services for employers and families in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico and India. The Company provides services designed to help families, employers and their employees better integrate work and family life, primarily under multi-year contracts with employers who offer early education and child care, family care solutions, and workforce education services, as part of their employee benefits packages in an effort to support employees across life and career stages and improve employee engagement.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 and the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in accordance with U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements 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, 2020. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts within the condensed consolidated balance sheet and supplemental statement of cash flows information to conform to the current period presentation.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2021 and the condensed consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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.
Stockholders’ Equity — The board of directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program of up to $300 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, effective June 12, 2018. The share repurchase program has no expiration date. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, under Rule 10b5-1 plans, or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 0.8 million shares were repurchased for $104.3 million under this authorization, and at September 30, 2021, $90.5 million remained available under the repurchase program.
On April 21, 2020, the Company completed the issuance and sale of 2,138,580 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to Durable Capital Master Fund LP at a price of $116.90 per share. The Company subsequently filed a registration statement to register the resale of these shares in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement. The Company received net proceeds from the offering of $249.8 million.
COVID-19 Pandemic — Since March 2020, the Company's global operations have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2021, the Company operated 1,011 early education and child care centers, of which 949 early education and child care centers were open. The Company remains focused on the re-enrollment of its centers and the phased re-opening of the limited number of centers that remain temporarily closed, which the Company expects will continue throughout 2021 and into 2022. The broad and long-term effects of COVID-19 and its variants, its duration and the scope of ongoing and related disruptions cannot be predicted and the Company currently expects the effects of COVID-19 to continue to adversely impact the results of its operations for the remainder of 2021 and into 2022.
10
Government Support — The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (“CAA”), and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) were enacted in the United States on March 27, 2020, January 1, 2021, and March 11, 2021, respectively; all are economic aid packages to help mitigate the impact of the pandemic. Additionally, other foreign governmental legislation that provided relief provisions was enacted in response to the economic impact of COVID-19. The Company has participated in certain government support programs, including availing itself of certain tax deferrals, tax credits and federal block grant funding in the United States, as well as certain tax deferrals, tax credits, and employee wage support in the United Kingdom. On December 27, 2020, the employee retention tax credit, originally enacted under the CARES Act in the United States, was expanded and extended under the CAA to wages paid through the first two quarters of 2021, among other changes. Additionally, on March 11, 2021, the employee retention tax credit was expanded and extended under the ARPA through December 31, 2021, among other changes. Governmental support received is recorded on the consolidated statement of income as a reduction to the related expenses that the assistance is intended to defray. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, $32.2 million and $61.5 million, respectively, was recorded as a reduction to cost of services in relation to these benefits, of which $9.3 million and $3.3 million, respectively, reduced the operating subsidies paid by employers for the related child care centers. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $3.9 million and $8.4 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 September 30, 2021, payroll tax deferrals of $10.2 million were recorded in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet and as of December 31, 2020, payroll tax deferrals were $20.4 million, of which $10.2 million was recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses and $10.2 million was included in other long-term liabilities.
Recently Adopted Pronouncement — In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The standard removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improves the consistent application of U.S. GAAP by clarifying and amending certain areas of the existing guidance. The Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

4. ACQUISITIONS
The Company’s growth strategy includes expansion through strategic and synergistic acquisitions. The goodwill resulting from these acquisitions arises largely from synergies expected from combining the operations of the businesses acquired with the Company's existing operations, including cost efficiencies and leveraging existing client relationships, as well as from benefits derived from gaining the related assembled workforce.
2021 Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company acquired two centers as well as a camp and back-up care provider in the United States, one center in the United Kingdom, and three centers in the Netherlands, in four separate business acquisitions, which were each accounted for as a business combination. These businesses were acquired for aggregate cash consideration of $18.3 million, net of cash acquired of $0.6 million, and consideration payable of $0.5 million. Additionally, the Company is subject to contingent consideration payments for two of these acquisitions, and recorded a preliminary fair value estimate of $7.3 million in relation to these contingent consideration arrangements at acquisition. Contingent consideration of up to $1.2 million may be payable within one year if certain performance targets are met for one of the acquisitions, and contingent consideration is payable in 2026 based on certain financial metrics for the other acquisition. The Company recorded goodwill of $14.6 million related to the back-up care segment and $8.0 million related to the full service center-based child care segment, of which $18.0 million will be deductible for tax purposes. In addition, the Company recorded intangible assets of $1.3 million that will be amortized over five years, as well as fixed assets of $7.0 million in relation to these acquisitions.
13
The determination and 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 of September 30, 2021, the purchase price allocations for these acquisitions remain open as the Company gathers additional information regarding the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, and finalizes its determination of the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration at the date of acquisition. The operating results for the acquired businesses are included in the consolidated results of operations from the date of acquisition, and were not material to the Company’s financial results.
2020 Acquisitions
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired two child care centers and the Sittercity business, an online marketplace for families and caregivers, in the United States, in three separate business acquisitions, which were each accounted for as a business combination. These businesses were acquired for aggregate cash consideration of $8.1 million, net of cash acquired of $1.3 million, and consideration payable of $0.1 million, and included fixed assets and technology of $4.1 million, as well as a trade name of $0.7 million that will be amortized over five years. The Company recorded goodwill of $2.0 million related to the educational advisory and other services segment and $2.1 million related to the full-service center-based child care segment, all of which will be deductible for tax purposes.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid $1.2 million for contingent consideration related to acquisitions completed in 2018 and 2019, which had been recorded as a liability at the date of acquisition.

6. CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS AND DEBT OBLIGATIONS
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
The Company’s senior secured credit facilities consist of a secured term loan facility (“term loan facility”) and a $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility (“revolving credit facility”). The term loan matures on November 7, 2023 and requires quarterly principal payments of $2.7 million, with the remaining principal balance due on November 7, 2023.
Outstanding term loan borrowings were as follows:

Less current maturities(10,750)(10,750)
Long-term debt$1,013,080 $1,020,137 
On May 26, 2021, the Company amended its existing senior secured credit facilities to, among other changes, extend the revolving credit facility maturity date from July 31, 2022 to May 26, 2026 (subject to a springing maturity to August 8, 2023 if more than $25 million of the term loan has not been repaid, refinanced or extended), and reduce the interest rates applicable to borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility. In conjunction with this credit amendment, the Company incurred $2.1 million in fees that have been capitalized in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and are amortized over the contractual life of the revolving credit facility. There were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
In April and May 2020, the Company amended its existing senior secured credit facilities to, among other things, increase the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility from $225 million to $400 million, modify the interest rates applicable to borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility, and modify the terms of the applicable covenants. In conjunction with these credit amendments, the Company incurred $2.8 million in fees that have been capitalized in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and were being amortized over the contractual life of the revolving credit facility prior to the May 26, 2021 amendment.
All borrowings under the credit agreement are subject to variable interest. The effective interest rate for the term loan was 2.50% at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and the weighted average interest rate was 2.50% and 2.83% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, prior to the effects of any interest rate hedge arrangements. Effective as of May 26, 2021, borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum ranging from 0.50% to 0.75% over the base rate, or 1.50% to 1.75% over the eurocurrency rate. The weighted average interest rate for the revolving credit facility was 4.00% and 4.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries. The senior secured credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, may restrict the ability of Bright Horizons Family Solutions LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and its restricted subsidiaries, to: incur certain liens; make investments, loans, advances and acquisitions; incur additional indebtedness or guarantees; pay dividends on capital stock or redeem, repurchase or retire capital stock or subordinated indebtedness; engage in transactions with affiliates; sell assets, including capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries; alter the business conducted; enter into agreements restricting the Company’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends; and consolidate or merge.
In addition, the credit agreement governing the senior secured credit facilities requires Bright Horizons Capital Corp., the Company’s 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 first lien net leverage ratio of 4.25 to 1.00 beginning June 30, 2021. A breach of the applicable covenant is subject to certain equity cure rights.

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. In October 2017, the Company entered into variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the exposure to variable interest arrangements on $500 million notional amount of the outstanding term loan borrowings. These swap agreements, designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges from inception, matured on October 31, 2021. The Company was required to make monthly payments on the notional amount at a fixed average interest rate, plus the applicable rate for eurocurrency loans. Effective as of May 31, 2018, the notional amount was subject to a total interest rate of approximately 3.65%. In exchange, the Company received interest on the notional amount at a variable rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate, subject to a 0.75% floor.
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%. 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 a forward starting effective date of October 29, 2021, which coincides with the maturity of the interest rate swap agreements discussed above, and expire on October 31, 2023.
The interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value and classified based on the instruments’ maturity dates. The Company records gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. These gains and losses are subsequently reclassified into earnings and recognized to interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of income in the period that the hedged interest expense on the term loan facility is recognized. The premium paid for the interest rate cap was recorded as an asset and will be allocated to each of the individual hedged interest payments on the basis of their relative fair values. The change in each respective allocated fair value amount will be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income when each of the hedged forecasted transactions impacts earnings and recognized to interest expense in the Company's consolidated statement of income.
