Research Analyst Commentary — 3Q07 Earnings Announcement “We believe ihe preannounccrncnt of third quarter results wns a serious jolt to investors, as -a record 2 million shares traded on October 18 {or 20 times the prior daily moving average) and pushed the stock down nearly 17%.. .The company needs lo regain investor confidence and demonstrate diat it can return the business to its targeted topline growth of 13-14%. Visibility into existing operations appears to have diminished as the company scales, while timing of new center openings remains dependent on pace of the customers. We expect valuation to remain depressed as third quarter operational challenges linger into 2008, while die UAW/Ford roll-off remains a headwind until the anniversary in the second quarter 2008.” “We are maintaining our Neutral rating based on the carryover effect of underperforming centers, margin deterioration, and lack of visibility into long-term growth rates.” ”... Underperformance at 35 community P&L centers negatively impacted 3Q07 results. While we have confidence that management will resolve the issues, the underper forma nee will diminish results for die next several quarters.” ”...Operating margin declined 60 basis points year on year and the operating margin for 2007 \? expected to be flat year on year. This represented the first quarter of margin deterioration in over 10 years.” ”.. .We are waiting for evidence that the company’s growth rates have stabilized. The revenue guidance for 2007 and 2008 indicates that growth is expected to decelerate in 2008 for the fifth consecutive year. The 10% revenue growth in 2008 would be die lowest in the last ten years.” “The inability to adjust staffing levels at the 35 centers negatively impacted the gross margin, which was 100 basis points below our expectations. While management has initiatives in place to rejuvenate enrollment growth (through marketing support) and implement more efficient staffing patterns, we believe it could take six to nine months for the company to weather the impact. As such, management lowered its FY07 EPS guidance to $1.68-11.70 from §1.7741.80.” “Q3 is typically a tough enrollment period due to a portion of enrollments that must be back-fslled as children leave Swingsct centers and move into preschool. An under-estimation of how quickly the company could back-fill enrollments, as well as Underperformance at a select group of centers in Colorado, drove the shortfall vs. our expectations. It is important to note that the enrollment impact at the 35 centers was not related to the economy, or any specific company or industry, except for the Colorado-based centers (acquired in 2005 and 2006).” “This is die first pre-announcement we can recall from this company whose business tends to be very stable and predictable given long duration contracts, high client retention and client/end market and geographic diversity. The gradual business mix transition to higher margin, but higher risk P&L centers, which now represent 65% of the total (and within that, consortium centers which comprise about 25% of full service locations), does increase enrollment risk and may modestly increase the company’s exposure to economic influences including consumer pressures.”

Research Analyst Commentary — General
“We are encouraged the company has been able to maintain its wage-price parity of 4% — 5% tuition increases and 3% — 4% wage increases, an important: factor in maintaining margin expansion. In addition, we continue to believe Swingset should improve operating performance characteristics through its consortium center mode! given the potential gross margin contribution these centers can have. However, losses generated from ramping centers continue to drag on margins and should do so through the remainder of 2007. We would become more positive on the company’s potential when we begin to see evidence of increased contribution from consortium centers,”
“Swingset’s shares have been range bound over the past six months, mostly due to the uncertainty of the company’s top-line growth outlook and the overhang cf the UAW situation. We believe the key to Swingset’s longer-verm price appreciation is evidence dint the coracany can sustain a healthy rate of new center additions for the foreseeable future.” “We believe the corporate daycare market is attractive because of its consistent demand and the opportunity for margin expansion during economic slowdowns, when daycare worker wages lag price increases. Swingset may fail to achieve this target multiple if its new centers are more costly to ramp up than expected or if the company is unable to successfully integrate the acquisition of a competing daycare provider,” ‘We believe Swingset will enjoy continued margin expansion from several sources: Organic growth of existing centers (higher utilization), acquisitions, transition of management contracts, maturity of international centers, pricing power versus labor costs, and the increasing contributions of the backup center business. Nonetheless, the stock’s performance may be constrained by moderating revenue growth as well as newly moderating gross margin expansion and EPS outperformance.” “Long term we see positive opportunities for the remaining pieces of Swingset’s business as the new center pipeline is solid (60+ centers) and the average center size ramps up (especially in International) as well as ramping contributions from back-up care centers and College Coach. We remain a bit puzzled as to the size of the opportunity relative to the size of Swingset’s sales and execution groups, particularly as we believe existing customers should be n market opportunity ripe for the picking. That said, we also recognize luring an additional 5-10 salespeople globally would create a sizable headwind for operating margins, one that management might not be willing to make given the current revenue growth profile.”
