    Consolidated revenue exceeded expectations due to year-over-year and sequential growth across all business segments.

 

    The travel nurse business (excluding EMR staffing) experienced revenue growth of 13% year-over-year, driven by continued higher demand trends and solid execution.

 

    Gross margin of 30.4% represented a year-over-year improvement of 100 basis points.

“All segments experienced stronger market trends, resulting in better than anticipated revenue growth in the third quarter. The continued strengthening in travel nurse and allied


demand is expected to fuel volume growth in the future. These trends, combined with new MSP clients and expansions, have bolstered our leadership position in workforce solutions and give us a positive outlook going into the new year,” said Susan R. Salka, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. “To ensure the delivery of a best-in-class client and clinician experience, we continue to make long-term strategic investments to innovate our workforce solution offerings and our recruitment and infrastructure technologies.”

Third Quarter 2014 Results

For the third quarter of 2014 consolidated revenue was $265 million, an increase of 3% from the same quarter last year and an increase of 5% sequentially. Third quarter revenue for the Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment was $174 million, up 2% from the same quarter last year and 5% sequentially. Locum Tenens Staffing segment revenue in the third quarter was $79 million, an increase of 5% from the same quarter last year and 6% sequentially. Third quarter Physician Permanent Placement Services segment revenue was $11 million, an increase of 5% from the same quarter last year and 7% sequentially.

Third quarter gross margin of 30.4% was 100 basis points higher than the same quarter last year and 40 basis points lower sequentially. The year-over-year increase was due to gross margin improvements in our Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing and Physician Permanent Placement Services segments. The sequential decrease was due primarily to an unfavorable workers’ compensation actuarial adjustment recorded in the third quarter.

SG&A expenses for the third quarter were $60 million, representing 22.8% of revenue, compared to $56 million in both the same quarter last year and the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase in SG&A expenses was due to the inclusion of ShiftWise, which was acquired in November of last year, higher expenses associated with our information technology initiatives, and higher expenses to support our current demand and future growth initiatives. The sequential increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to a favorable professional liability actuarial adjustment recorded in the second quarter, increased commission and bonus expenses associated with higher revenue, and other expenses to support growth.

Third quarter net income was $8 million and net income per diluted share was $0.18. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $22 million, compared to $22 million in the same quarter

last year and $23 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.2% was 20 basis points lower than the same quarter last year and 110 basis points lower sequentially. The year-over-year decrease was due primarily to the unfavorable workers’ compensation actuarial adjustment recorded in the third quarter of 2014, and the sequential decrease was due primarily to that same adjustment as well as a favorable professional liability adjustment in the second quarter of 2014.

At September 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $10 million. Third quarter cash flow provided by operations was $15 million and capital expenditures were $4 million. The Company ended the quarter with total debt outstanding of $146 million, with a leverage ratio of 1.7 to 1.

Business Trends and Outlook

The Company expects consolidated fourth quarter 2014 revenue of $265 million to $269 million. Gross margin is expected to be seasonally lower at approximately 30.0%. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue are expected to be approximately 22.5%. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be between 8.0% and 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 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. 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 diluted EPS represents GAAP diluted EPS excluding the impact of loss on debt extinguishment of $3,113 and $434 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3,113 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. 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 item 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 (as calculated per the Company’s credit agreement) 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.
