| ACQUISITIONS | 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. 2025 Acquisitions During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company acquired three centers in the United Kingdom in two separate business acquisitions, which were each accounted for as a business combination. The businesses were acquired for aggregate cash consideration of $6.8 million, net of $0.3 million cash acquired, and $0.1 million of deferred consideration, and are subject to adjustments from the settlement of the final working capital. The Company recorded goodwill of $4.9 million related to the full service center-based child care segment for these acquisitions, which will not be deductible for tax purposes. In addition, the Company recorded intangible assets of $0.5 million. 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 June 30, 2026, the purchase price allocation for one of these acquisitions remains open as the Company gathers additional information regarding the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. 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.
