$KLCPress releaseAug 13, 2026, 4:15 PM ETRead the release

KinderCare reported Q2 revenue of $697.5 million, a slight 0.4% decrease year-over-year, while swinging to a net loss of $8.8 million compared to a net income of $38.6 million in the prior year. The decline was driven by a $22.9 million impairment charge in the quarter and a $273.5 million goodwill impairment recorded in the first half, attributed to deteriorating market capitalization and lower center performance.
