Frequently asked questions

What is Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc's revenue?

Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $2.98B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.

How profitable is BFAM?

In its most recent fiscal year, BFAM ran a gross margin of 23.56%, an operating margin of 10.73%, and a net margin of 6.58%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.

How much free cash flow does BFAM generate?

BFAM produced $256.36M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.

Is BFAM's balance sheet healthy?

BFAM holds $140.58M in cash and equivalents against $747.61M in long-term debt, on $1.34B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
