** | See note (2) under Supplemental Financial and Operating Data for a reconciliation of non-GAAP items. |
| The Companys continued success in executing on its workforce solutions strategy is fueling top line growth and improving profitability. |
| Revenues for the first quarter in Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing, AMNs largest segment, were up 4% sequentially and up 14% year-over-year due primarily to continued growth in the travel nurse business. |
| While volume was down in the Locum Tenens segment, results are beginning to reflect improvements in pricing and gross margins. |
| Physician Permanent Placement new searches were up over 10% compared with prior year, indicative of an improving market environment. |
| First quarter consolidated gross margin was 27.9%, achieving the upper end of the Companys expectations. |
| In early April the Company successfully refinanced its existing credit facilities, which resulted in a lower average cost of debt, extended maturity, and an improved covenant structure. |
AMN Healthcare continues to differentiate itself in the marketplace as the innovator in healthcare workforce solutions. We experienced continued momentum adding new MSP clients as well as growing our traditional client business, said Susan R. Salka, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. The efficiency inherent in our MSP operations model, with strong fill-rates and productivity by our sales and operations team, continues to provide improvements in operating leverage.
With a solid and improving demand environment, we are keenly focused on our recruitment strategies to enable us to continue delivering superior service to our clients. This focus on growing our quality clinician candidates will also position us well for the significantly stronger demand market conditions expected in the next two to three years, added Salka.
First Quarter 2012 Results
For the first quarter of 2012, consolidated revenue was $226 million, an increase of 2% sequentially and 5% from the same quarter last year. First quarter revenue for the Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment was $154 million, up 4% sequentially and 14% from the same quarter last year. The increase was due to increased clinicians on assignment and increased bill rates. The Locum Tenens Staffing segment generated revenue in the first quarter of $64 million, a decrease of 2% sequentially and 10% from the same quarter last year. First quarter Physician Permanent Placement Services segment revenue was $9 million, a decrease of 4% sequentially and 17% from the same quarter last year. Excluding the impact of the prior year adoption of a new revenue recognition accounting standard, revenues for this segment increased 4% year-over-year.
Gross margin in the first quarter of 27.9%, at the upper end of the Companys expectations, was lower by 40 basis points compared to the previous quarter and 120 basis points from the same quarter last year. The year-over-year decrease was due primarily to the prior year benefits from an actuarial-based workers compensation reserve adjustment and the adoption of a new revenue recognition accounting standard. Excluding these items, the yearover-year gross margin was higher by 30 basis points due to improved gross margins in both physician segments.
2
SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2012 were $47 million, representing 20.8% as a percent of revenue, compared to 22.1% in the prior quarter and 22.6% in the same quarter last year. The decrease compared to the same quarter last year was due primarily to the absence of integration-related expenses associated with the Medfinders acquisition, the resulting improved SG&A leverage from the acquisition synergies, and a refund received in connection with the settlement of a prior period assessment from the California Employment Development Department. Compared to the prior quarter, the decrease was due to continued operating leverage improvement and the favorable settlement, offset partly by higher professional liability costs.
First quarter 2012 GAAP net income per diluted common share was $0.09. Excluding the $0.02 discontinued operations impact from the divested home healthcare business, earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.07.
As of March 31, 2012, cash and cash equivalents totaled $5 million and total debt outstanding, net of discount, was $193 million. First quarter 2012 cash flow from operations was $10 million and capital expenditures were $1.0 million.
On April 5, 2012, the Company replaced its existing credit facilities with a new $250 million credit agreement. The new credit agreement consists of a $200 million secured term loan and $50 million secured revolving line of credit, maturing in April 2018 and April 2017, respectively. The term loan will initially bear interest at LIBOR plus 475 basis points, with a 1.25% LIBOR floor, and the revolving line of credit will initially bear interest at LIBOR plus 425 basis points. Both facilities have interest rate step downs based on the Companys financial leverage. Approximately $5.9 million of transaction related costs were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the new agreement. In addition, $8.6 million of non-cash deferred financing costs and original issue discount and a $1.2 million pre-payment penalty associated with the previous credit facilities will be charged to interest expense in the second quarter.

Business Trends and Outlook
Second quarter consolidated revenues are expected to be between $229 million and $233 million, with sequential growth anticipated across all business segments. Gross margin is expected to remain steady between 27.5% and 28.0%. SG&A expenses are anticipated to be approximately 21.5% to 22.0% of revenues. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 7.0%.

(1) | Segment Operating Income represents net income (loss) plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, unallocated corporate overhead, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition related costs, and net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. Management believes that Segment Operating Income is an industry wide financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating the Companys performance. Management also uses Segment Operating Income for making financial decisions and allocating resources. Segment Operating Income is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and allocation of costs. |
(2) | Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, acquisition related costs, stock-based compensation expense and net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax. Management presents adjusted EBITDA because it believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is an industry wide financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating the Companys performance. Management also uses adjusted EBITDA for making financial decisions and allocating resources. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the Companys performance because it believes that adjusted EBITDA provides an effective measure of the Companys results, as it excludes certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Companys operating performance and considers measures used in credit facilities. However, 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 (loss) as an indicator of operating performance, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. As defined, adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. While management believes that some of the items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are not indicative of the Companys operating performance, these items do impact the statement of operations, and management therefore utilizes adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as net income (loss). |
(3) | Average travelers on assignment represents the average number of nurse and allied healthcare professionals on assignment during the period presented. Average travelers on assignment for the first quarter of 2011 reflected an immaterial adjustment from the Companys previously reported number. |
(4) | Revenue per traveler per day and gross profit per traveler per day represent the revenue and gross profit of the Companys nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment divided by average travelers on assignment, divided by the number of days in the period presented. Revenue per traveler per day and gross profit per traveler per day for the first quarter of 2011 were adjusted to reflect the updated average travelers on assignment mentioned above. |
(5) | Days filled is calculated by dividing the locum tenens hours filled during the period by 8 hours. Revenue per day filled and gross profit per day filled represent revenue and gross profit of the Companys locum tenens staffing segment divided by days filled for the period presented. |
