    Consolidated revenue increased 40% year-over-year, driven by organic growth of 24% and the remainder from acquisitions.

 

    Gross margin of 31.4% represented an improvement of 60 basis points year-over-year and 40 basis points from the prior quarter.

 

    Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.2% reflected a 190 basis point year-over-year improvement, driven primarily by the gross margin improvement and operating leverage.

 

    Adjusted diluted EPS of $0.38 grew 81% year-over-year.

 

    AMN Healthcare’s differentiated strategy of serving healthcare providers through a diverse portfolio of innovative workforce solutions and staffing services continues to drive industry leading performance.


“All business segments are executing very strongly amid continued robust market conditions, which drove better than anticipated revenue and profitability growth in the second quarter,” said Susan R. Salka, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. “Our recently acquired Avantas, Onward Healthcare, Locum Leaders and Medefis companies are also performing very well and the majority of our integration activities have been successfully completed. With the continuing favorable market environment, our outlook remains optimistic as we stay focused on delivering superior service to our clients and healthcare professionals, improving the efficiency of our operations, and developing or acquiring additional innovative workforce solutions and recruitment strategies.”

Second Quarter 2015 Results

For the second quarter of 2015, consolidated revenue was $350 million, an increase of 40% from the same quarter last year and 7% sequentially. Second quarter revenue for the Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment was $240 million, up 45% (27% excluding acquisitions) from the same quarter last year and 5% sequentially. Locum Tenens Staffing segment revenue in the second quarter was $97 million, an increase of 31% (19% excluding acquisitions) from the same quarter last year and up 12% sequentially. Second quarter Physician Permanent Placement Services segment revenue was $13 million, an increase of 19% from the same quarter last year and up 8% sequentially.

Second quarter gross margin of 31.4% was higher by 60 basis points than the same quarter last year and higher by 40 basis points sequentially. The year-over-year gross margin improvement was driven by an increased revenue mix of our higher-margin workforce solutions businesses.

SG&A expenses for the second quarter were $75 million, representing 21.3% of revenue, compared to 22.1% in the same quarter last year and 21.8% in the prior quarter. The year-over-year improvement in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue was due primarily to operating leverage and a favorable professional liability actuarial adjustment. The favorable professional liability adjustment in the second quarter was $3.3 million, compared to a favorable adjustment of $1.6 million in the same quarter last year. On a sequential basis, the lower SG&A percentage was driven by the favorable professional liability actuarial adjustment, which more than offset the growth in employee expenses to support the revenue growth.

Excluding amortization of intangible assets of $3 million and acquisition and integration costs of $2 million, adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.38. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $39.4 million, a year-over-year increase of 69% and sequential increase of 18%. Second quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.2% represented a 190 basis point increase year-over-year and 100 basis point increase sequentially.

At June 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $14 million. Second quarter cash flow from operations was $25 million and capital expenditures were $8 million. The Company ended the second quarter with total debt outstanding of $226 million, with a leverage ratio of 1.9 to 1.

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, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted diluted EPS serve as industry-wide financial measures. The Company 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 tax expense, depreciation and amortization, unallocated corporate overhead, acquisition and integration costs and share-based compensation.
(2) 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. 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 1) amortization of intangible assets; 2) acquisition and integration costs; and 3) other non-recurring costs, such as debt extinguishment costs, in each case, net of tax. Adjusted diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 have been restated to conform to the current year presentation. 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). 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.
(5) Average healthcare professionals 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 condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 to conform to the current year presentation.
