Second-Quarter 2016 Highlights

 

    Revenue grew 35% year-over-year driven by 19% organic growth and the remainder from acquisitions.

 

    Solid demand and operating metrics continued throughout the quarter, with the strongest growth in the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment.


    Net income of $26.3 million was 66% higher year-over-year and adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.5%, reflecting a 130 basis point increase year-over-year, driven by gross margin expansion.

 

    Diluted EPS of $0.53 grew 66% and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.61 grew 61% year-over-year.

 

    The acquisition of Peak Health Solutions, completed in June 2016, expands AMN’s service offerings into medical coding and consulting.

“The AMN Healthcare team delivered another record quarter of revenue and earnings due to a strong market environment and tremendous execution to address our client’s critical and evolving workforce needs. In addition to the strong demand for staffing and placement services, we continue to increase the penetration of our workforce solutions, in particular MSP, VMS and workforce optimization services,” said Susan R. Salka, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. “The desire to build strategic partnerships and rising level of sophistication within healthcare creates great opportunity for AMN to partner with our clients to deliver cost effective, quality patient care.”

Second-Quarter 2016 Results

Consolidated revenue was $474 million, an increase of 35% from the same quarter last year, driven by 19% organic growth; revenue increased 1% sequentially. Revenue for the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment was $293 million, an increase of 29% from the same quarter last year and down 2% sequentially. Locum Tenens Solutions revenue was $109 million, an increase of 12% from the same quarter last year and 6% sequentially. Other Workforce Solutions segment revenue was $72 million, an increase of 174% from the same quarter last year and 7% sequentially. The Other Workforce Solutions segment revenue grew 32% organically from the prior year with the remainder from recent acquisitions.

Gross margin was 32.7%, which is 130 basis points higher than the same quarter last year and 20 basis points higher sequentially.

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

 

4


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 measures 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,” the table entitled “Reconciliation of Guidance Adjusted EBITDA Margin to Guidance Operating Margin,” and the footnotes thereto 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) Operating margin represents income from operations divided by revenue.
(2) 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 includes our nurse, allied, and local staffing businesses. The locum tenens solutions segment includes our locum tenens staffing business. The other workforce solutions segment includes 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 consulting business, and 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. 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 1) amortization of intangible assets, 2) acquisition and integration costs, and 3) tax effect of 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) Revenue per healthcare professional per day represents the revenue of the Company’s nurse and allied solutions segment divided by average healthcare professionals on assignment, divided by the number of days in the period presented.
(9) Days filled is calculated by dividing the locum tenens hours filled during the period by eight hours.
(10) Revenue per day filled represents revenue of the Company’s locum tenens solutions segment divided by days filled for the period presented.
(11) 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 ending at the end of the subject period.
