Highlights

  • Strong demand for healthcare workforce solutions and staffing continues, driving third-quarter 2016 revenue growth of 23% year-over-year, with 12% organic growth.
  • Nurse and Allied Solutions segment revenue up 16% year-over-year driven primarily by volume growth.
  • Adjusted EBITDA grew 27% year-over-year with a 40 basis point margin increase.
  • Generated $30 million of operating cash flow in the quarter and $85 million year-to-date, a 52% increase compared to the first nine months in 2015.
  • Successfully completed a debt offering in October, adding long-term liquidity at favorable terms to position the Company for further investment in growth opportunities.
  • Board of Directors authorized a $150 million share repurchase program.

"The demand for healthcare professionals and workforce solutions is strong today and is expected to continue to grow as turnover and vacancies persist at historical high levels," said Susan R. Salka, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. "Our results this quarter reflect a positive market environment but are also a testament to the team's outstanding execution as we partner with our clients to help them manage their significant labor challenges and enable them to stay focused on delivering quality patient care. We are well positioned to offer strategic solutions to address these issues through our broad suite of services. The current demand levels, indicators of our clients' future needs and our leading market position provide us with optimism heading into 2017."

Ms. Salka added, "I am also pleased to announce that our Board approved a $150 million share repurchase program to leverage our strong financial position and free cash flow as another prudent capital allocation option. Although we will continue to prioritize investing in our current businesses and compelling acquisition opportunities, we are also committed to maximizing shareholder returns, and we believe a share repurchase program provides an additional mechanism to accomplish this."

Third-Quarter 2016 Results

Consolidated revenue was $473 million, an increase of 23% from the same quarter last year, driven by 12% organic growth mainly stemming from the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment.

Revenue for the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment was $287 million, which is 16% higher compared to the same quarter last year and down 2% sequentially. The sequential decline in this segment resulted from minimal labor disruption-related revenue in the third quarter, compared to the prior quarter that had approximately $19 million of revenue from these services. The Travel Nurse division continued with strong performance, with revenue up 21% year-over-year and 4% sequentially. Allied revenue was up 10% year-over-year and 6% sequentially.

Locum Tenens Solutions segment revenue was $109 million, an increase of 7% from the same quarter last year and down 1% sequentially. The Other Workforce Solutions segment revenue was $77 million, an increase of 125% from the same quarter last year and 7% sequentially, with the growth in both periods driven mostly from recent acquisitions.

Gross margin was 32.7%, which is 20 basis points lower than the same quarter last year and flat sequentially. The year-over-year gross margin decline was due to a lower Nurse and Allied Solutions segment gross margin, partially offset by an increase in gross margin in the Locum Tenens segment and greater contribution from the higher-margin Other Workforce Solutions segment.

SG&A expenses were $100 million, or 21.2% of revenue, compared to $83 million, or 21.7% of revenue, in the same quarter last year and $100 million, or 21.0% of revenue, in the previous quarter. The year-over-year 50 basis point decline in percentage of revenue was driven by improved operating leverage. The 20 basis point increase in percentage of revenue from the previous quarter was mainly driven by a $2 million professional liability actuarial credit recorded in the second quarter.

Net income was $27 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to $34 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. The prior-year quarter included a $12 million benefit related to a reversal of tax reserves. Excluding amortization of intangible assets and acquisition and integration costs, net of tax, adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.62. Adjusted EBITDA was $58 million, a year-over-year increase of 27%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.3%, representing a 40 basis point increase year-over-year and a 20 basis point decrease sequentially. The sequential decline was mainly the result of the previously noted actuarial benefit recorded last quarter.

At September 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16 million. Cash flow from operations was $30 million and capital expenditures were $5 million. The Company ended the quarter with total debt outstanding of $386 million, with a leverage ratio as calculated in accordance with the Company's credit agreement of 1.7 to 1.

On October 3, 2016, the Company completed the offering and sale of $325 million principal amount of its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024, the proceeds of which were used to repay existing indebtedness under its credit facilities and to pay expenses related to the transaction.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 1, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $150 million of its common stock.

The amount and timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors including the price of the Company's shares, trading volume, Company performance, Company liquidity, general economic and market conditions and other factors that the Company's management believes are relevant. The share repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The Company intends to make all repurchases and to administer the plan in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory guidelines, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, and in compliance with its debt instruments. Repurchases may be made from cash on hand, free cash flow generated from the Company's business or from the Company's credit facilities. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases may also be made pursuant to one or more plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading restrictions.

Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial information, which the Company provides as additional information, and not as an alternative, to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include (1) adjusted EBITDA, (2) adjusted EBITDA margin and (3) adjusted diluted EPS.  The Company provides such non-GAAP financial measures because management believes that they are useful both to management and investors as a supplement, and not as a substitute, when evaluating the Company's operating performance.

The Company uses adjusted EBITDA for making financial decisions and allocating resources.

They should not be used in isolation to evaluate the Company's performance.  A reconciliation of non-GAAP measures identified in this release, along with further detail about the use and limitations of certain of these non-GAAP measures, may be found below in the table entitled "Supplemental Financial and Operating Data" under the caption entitled "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Items" and the footnotes thereto or on the Company's website at http://amnhealthcare.investorroom.com/financialreports.

Effective as of January 1, 2016, we modified our reportable segments. We previously utilized three reportable segments, which we identified as follows: (a) nurse and allied healthcare staffing, (b) locum tenens staffing and (c) physician permanent placement services. In light of our acquisitions over the past several years as well as our transition to a healthcare workforce solutions company, our management renamed our three reportable segments and also placed several of our business lines that were in our nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment into a different segment to better reflect how the business is evaluated by our chief operating decision maker. As of January 1, 2016, we began to disclose the following three reportable segments: (a) nurse and allied solutions, (b) locum tenens solutions, and (c) other workforce solutions. The nurse and allied solutions segment consists of our travel nurse, allied and local staffing businesses. The locum tenens solutions segment consists of our locum tenens staffing business. The other workforce solutions segment consists of our healthcare interim leadership staffing and executive search services business, physician permanent placement services business, recruitment process outsourcing business, vendor management systems business, workforce optimization services business, medical coding and related consulting business, and our education business. Prior period data has been reclassified to conform to the new segment reporting structure.

(3)

Segment operating income represents net income plus interest expense (net of interest income) and other, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, unallocated corporate overhead, acquisition and integration costs and share-based compensation.

(4)

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus interest expense (net of interest income) and other, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition and integration costs and share-based compensation. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides an effective measure of the Company's results, as it excludes certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance and is a measure used in credit facilities and the indenture governing our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to income from operations or net income as an indicator of operating performance. Although management believes that some of the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are not indicative of the Company's operating performance, these items do impact the statement of comprehensive income, and management therefore utilizes adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as net income.

(5)

Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

(6)

Adjusted diluted EPS represents GAAP diluted EPS excluding the impact of (A) amortization of intangible assets, (B) acquisition and integration costs, (C) IRS adjustment, and (D) tax effect, if any, of the foregoing adjustments. Management included this non-GAAP measure to provide investors and prospective investors with an alternative method for assessing the Company's operating results in a manner that is focused on its operating performance and to provide a more consistent basis for comparison between periods. However, investors and prospective investors should note that this non-GAAP measure involves judgment by management (in particular, judgment as to what is classified as a special item to be excluded from adjusted diluted EPS). Although management believes the items excluded from adjusted diluted EPS are not indicative of the Company's operating performance, these items do impact the statement of comprehensive income, and management therefore utilizes adjusted diluted EPS as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as GAAP diluted EPS.

(7)

Average healthcare professionals on assignment represents the average number of nurse and allied healthcare professionals on assignment during the period presented.

(8)

Days filled is calculated by dividing the locum tenens hours filled during the period by eight hours.

(9)

Revenue per day filled represents revenue of the Company's locum tenens solutions segment divided by days filled for the period presented.

(10)

Leverage ratio represents the ratio of the consolidated funded indebtedness (as calculated per the Company's credit agreement) at the end of the subject period to the consolidated adjusted EBITDA (as calculated per the Company's credit agreement) for the twelve month period ended at the end of the subject period.
