    Second quarter consolidated revenue exceeded expectations due primarily to strong performance in the Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment driven by improving market trends and execution.

 

    The quarterly sequential revenue growth of 4% was driven by 11% growth in the Locum Tenens segment and 1% growth in the Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment.

 

    Gross margin of 30.8% for the second quarter represented a record high and year-over-year improvement of 150 basis points.

 

    Second quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.3% improved 90 basis points over prior year.


    In April, the Company refinanced its then-existing credit facilities with a new credit agreement and initial rate reduction of approximately 175 basis points.

“Market trends strengthened across all of our segments as we progressed through the second quarter, contributing to a stronger than expected performance and a brighter outlook for the remainder of the year. The improved market dynamics coupled with the solid execution of our team delivered sequential increases in revenue, gross margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, and adjusted EPS. It is clear that our leadership position in providing MSP, VMS, and other workforce solutions continues to enable AMN to deliver differentiated value to our clients,” said Susan R. Salka, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. “We also continue to make progress in our long-term strategic initiatives, such as expansion of our workforce solution offerings and investments in our recruitment and infrastructure technologies, to deliver a best-in-class, differentiated client and clinician experience.”

Second Quarter 2014 Results

For the second quarter of 2014 consolidated revenue was $251 million, a decrease of 1% from the same quarter last year and an increase of 4% sequentially. Second quarter revenue for the Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment was $166 million, down 2% from the same quarter last year and up 1% sequentially. Locum Tenens Staffing segment revenue in the second quarter was $74 million, an increase of 2% from the same quarter last year and 11% sequentially. Second quarter Physician Permanent Placement Services segment revenue was $11 million, a decrease of 3% from the same quarter last year and an increase of 1% sequentially.

Second quarter gross margin of 30.8% was 150 basis points higher than the same quarter last year and 10 basis points higher sequentially. The year-over-year increase was due to gross margin improvement across all business segments, as well as the addition of the higher-margin ShiftWise business.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter were $56 million, representing 22.1% of revenue, compared to $55 million in both the same quarter last year and the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to the additional SG&A expenses from the ShiftWise business.

Second quarter net income was $7 million and net income per diluted share was $0.15. Excluding non-cash charges to interest expense associated with execution of a new credit agreement, adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.19. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $23 million, compared to $21 million in both the same quarter last year and the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.3% reflected a 90 basis point increase over prior year and was driven by the improvement in gross margin. The 50 basis point sequential improvement was due mainly to a favorable professional liability adjustment.

At June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $6 million. Second quarter cash flow provided by operations was $6.2 million and capital expenditures were $4 million. The Company ended the quarter with total debt outstanding of $155 million, with a leverage ratio of 1.9 to 1.

Business Trends and Outlook

The Company expects consolidated third quarter 2014 revenue of $254 million to $258 million, with sequential growth expected in all business segments. Gross margin is expected to be approximately 30.5%. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue are expected to be between 22.5% and 23.0%. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 8.5%.

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 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. Additionally, management believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin serve as industry-wide financial measures, and it uses adjusted EBITDA for making financial decisions and allocating resources. The non-GAAP measures in this release are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures, or may be calculated differently than other similarly title captioned non-GAAP measures, reported by other companies. 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” or on the Company’s website at http://amnhealthcare.investorroom.com/financialreports. Additionally, from time to time, additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures, including pro forma measures, may be made available on the Company’s website.

(1) Segment operating income represents net income plus interest expense (net of interest income) and other, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, unallocated corporate overhead and share-based compensation expense.
(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus interest expense (net of interest income) and other, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense. 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 considers measures used in credit facilities. 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.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
(4) Adjusted EPS represents GAAP EPS excluding the impact of loss on debt extinguishment of $3,113 and $434 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Management believes such a measure provides a picture of the Company’s results that is more comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items that may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby distorting comparisons between periods. However, 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 EPS). Although management believes the item excluded from adjusted EPS is not indicative of the Company’s operating performance, this items does impact the statement of comprehensive income, and management therefore utilizes adjusted EPS as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as GAAP EPS.
(5) Average clinicians on assignment represents the average number of nurse and allied healthcare professionals on assignment during the period presented.
(6) Days filled is calculated by dividing the locum tenens hours filled during the period by eight hours.

(7) Leverage ratio represents the ratio of the consolidated funded indebtedness (as calculated per the Company’s credit agreement) at the end of the period to the consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months.
(8) Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior periods’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
