$BFAMForm 10-QFiled Aug 6, 2026, 4:17 PM ET0001437578-26-000020Original filing

Bright Horizons reported Q2 2026 revenue of $779.2 million, up 6.5% year over year, but GAAP net income fell 26% to $40.6 million and diluted EPS came in at $0.79 versus $0.95 a year ago. The decline was driven by $19.1 million of impairment losses in the full service child care segment and an effective tax rate that jumped to 38.2% from 27.4%. On an adjusted basis the quarter was stronger: adjusted EBITDA rose 13% to $130.6 million and diluted adjusted EPS rose to $1.28 from $1.07. Back-up care was the standout with revenue up 19% on higher utilization, while full service child care revenue grew 3% on roughly 4% tuition rate increases.
