Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	1. Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business BrightSpring Health Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“BrightSpring”, the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a leading home and community-based healthcare services platform, focused on delivering complementary pharmacy and provider services to complex patients. Our platform delivers clinical services and pharmacy solutions across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercially-insured populations. On December 7, 2017, affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR” or “KKR Stockholder”) and Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. (“WBA”) purchased PharMerica Corporation (“PharMerica”) and on March 5, 2019, expanded with the acquisition of BrightSpring Health Holdings Corp. The surviving entity was renamed BrightSpring Health Services, Inc. WBA sold their remaining ownership interests in the Company in 2025 through open market transactions and is no longer considered a related party of the Company. As a result of the registered secondary public offerings in 2025, the Company no longer qualifies as a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC listing standards. On January 17, 2025, the Company entered into a purchase agreement to divest its community living services, home and community based waiver programs, and intermediate care facilities (the “Community Living business”). The transaction closed on March 30, 2026. In March 2026, KKR Stockholder and certain management selling stockholders completed an additional registered secondary public offering of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the “March 2026 Offering”) and the Company concurrently repurchased 1,464,807 shares of common stock from the underwriter at the same price the underwriter purchased the shares from the selling stockholders. The Company did not sell any shares of common stock that were offered in the March 2026 Offering. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the March 2026 Offering, other than proceeds received in connection with the cash exercise of stock options by the management selling stockholders in connection with the March 2026 Offering. The par value of the shares repurchased and the amount paid to repurchase the shares in excess of the par value were recorded as common stock and retained earnings, respectively, in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BrightSpring Health Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company consolidates its majority-owned and controlled entities, including variable interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. We record a noncontrolling interest for the allocable portion of income or loss and comprehensive income or loss to which the noncontrolling interest holders are entitled based upon their ownership share of the affiliate. The Company determined noncontrolling interests for certain of these VIEs to be redeemable noncontrolling interests, which are presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as redeemable noncontrolling interests. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position, our results of operations, and our cash flows in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Our results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of our operations for the entire year. As discussed in Note 2, the Community Living business met the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations and held for sale during the first fiscal quarter of 2025. Therefore, the Company has reported the historical results of the Community Living business, including the results of operations and cash flows as discontinued operations for all periods presented herein, and related assets and liabilities, as held for sale as of December 31, 2025. Unless otherwise noted, all activities and amounts reported in the accompanying notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the continuing operations of the Company and exclude activities and amounts related to the Community Living business. This report should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which includes information and disclosures not included herein. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial information presented, as allowed by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. We rely on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates are involved in the valuation of accounts receivable, inventory, intangible assets, derivatives, contingent consideration, taxes, insurance reserves, share-based compensation, and goodwill. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is party to various legal and/or administrative proceedings arising out of the operation of our programs and arising in the ordinary course of business. We record accruals for such contingencies to the extent that we conclude it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We do not believe the ultimate liability, if any, for outstanding proceedings or claims, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of amounts already provided, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. It is reasonably possible that an adverse determination might have an impact on a particular period. While we believe our provision for legal contingencies is adequate, the outcome of legal proceedings is difficult to predict, and we may settle legal claims or be subject to judgments for amounts that exceed our estimates. Related Party Transactions There were no related party transactions for the periods presented other than those disclosed elsewhere in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards There were no new accounting standards adopted during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which was further clarified in January 2025 through the issuance of ASU 2025-01. These ASUs require new financial statement disclosures to provide disaggregated information for certain types of expenses, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of goods and services and selling, general, and administrative expenses. The amendments in these ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to the related disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages. The new standard requires entities to consider whether significant development uncertainty has been resolved before starting to capitalize software costs and aligns disclosure requirements with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and can be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified transition method, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
