Highlights

  • AMN Healthcare reached record highs for revenue and adjusted EPS in the quarter.
  • Second quarter consolidated revenue of $558 million increased 14% year over year, with organic growth of 7%.
  • Growth was led by our Nurse and Allied Solutions segment with revenue up by 11% year over year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $70 million grew 4% year over year and was 12.6% of revenue.
  • Operating cash flow in the second quarter was $66 million. In the first half of 2018, cash flow from operations totaled $126 million, up 80% year over year.
  • The April acquisitions of MedPartners, Phillips DiPisa and Leaders For Today contributed $36 million of revenue in the quarter.

"Solid execution in the second quarter enabled AMN to reach all-time highs in revenue and adjusted EBITDA. We continue to expand and add new MSP clients and have a strong pipeline," said Susan R. Salka, Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. "Our team delivered well for Nurse and Allied clients, with strong fill rates amid a relatively tepid demand environment and pricing headwinds. Solid performance in several of our businesses is being offset by a decline in Locum Tenens, where we continue to see below-market performance due to the disruption from business model and technology changes made earlier this year. Our recent acquisitions are integrating with the AMN family and are off to a good start. The primary macro drivers of our industry appear favorable for the foreseeable future, and we remain confident in the long-term growth of AMN."

Second Quarter 2018 Results

Consolidated revenue for the quarter was $558 million, a 14% increase over prior year and 7% higher than prior quarter. Revenue for the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment was $333 million, higher by 11% year over year and down 2% sequentially. The quarter included $25 million of labor disruption revenue. Excluding this event, segment revenue grew 2% year over year and seasonally declined 9% sequentially, in line with expectations. Growth of the Travel Nurse division was in line with expectations with revenue up 2% year over year, driven by a volume increase partly offset by a lower mix of premium-rate assignments. Allied division revenue increased 7% year over year, driven primarily by volume increases.

The Locum Tenens Solutions segment reported revenue of $107 million, down by 1% year over year, with lower volumes being offset by positive pricing. Other Workforce Solutions segment revenue was $118 million reflecting an increase of 46% year over year, with the benefit of acquisitions made in April 2018. Organic growth of 2% year over year was driven by the mid-revenue cycle and interim leadership businesses.

Gross margin was 32.4%, lower by 50 basis points year over year and higher by 30 basis points sequentially. The variances were positively impacted by higher-than-average gross margins from the recently acquired companies and a change in our physician permanent placement business model that prompted a recording of certain recruiter expenses in SG&A that were previously in cost of revenue. These positives were partly offset by a below-average labor disruption gross margin. Net of these factors, our year-over-year gross margin declined primarily due to a lower margin in our Nurse and Allied and Other Workforce Solutions segments.

SG&A expenses were $116 million, or 20.7% of revenue, compared with $97 million, or 19.7% of revenue, in the same quarter last year. SG&A was $105 million, or 20.0% of revenue, in the previous quarter. The increase in expenses and expense margin was impacted by added costs from the recently acquired companies and the physician permanent placement cost change.

Net income was $36 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, compared with $31 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.83. Adjusted EBITDA was $70 million, a year-over-year increase of 4%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.6%, representing a decrease of 110 basis points year over year and a decrease of 10 basis points sequentially.

At June 30, 2018, cash and cash equivalents totaled $23 million. Cash flow from operations was $66 million for the quarter, and capital expenditures were $11 million. AMN repurchased 385,000 shares of stock for $21 million during the quarter. The Company ended the quarter with total debt outstanding of $480 million, with a leverage ratio as calculated in accordance with the Company's credit agreement of 1.7 to 1.

Third Quarter 2018 Outlook

Metric

Guidance*

Consolidated revenue

$522 - $530 million

Gross margin

~33.0%

SG&A as percentage of revenue

 ~21.5%

Adjusted EBITDA margin

~12.5%


*Note: Guidance percentage metrics are approximate.  For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA margin, see the table entitled "Reconciliation of Guidance Adjusted EBITDA Margin to Guidance Operating Margin" below.

Projected year-over-year revenue growth in the third quarter of 2018 is approximately 6-7%. On an organic basis, revenue is projected to be down approximately 1% due primarily to disruption in the Locum Tenens business and a mix shift away from premium-rate assignments in Travel Nursing. No significant labor disruption revenue is included in third quarter guidance.

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 measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures, or may be calculated differently than other similarly titled 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" and the footnotes thereto or on the Company's website at http://amnhealthcare.investorroom.com/financialreports.

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 the Company's credit agreement and the indenture governing our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024. 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.

Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $2,501,000 to adjust for an immaterial out-of-period error identified this quarter related to the income tax treatment of fair value changes in the cash surrender value of its Company Owned Life Insurance for years ended December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2017. These fair value changes had not previously been included as a benefit in the tax provision of the related years.

The consolidated effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was favorably affected by the recording of excess tax benefits relating to equity awards vested and exercised during the period. As a result of the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement on January 1, 2017, we no longer record excess tax benefits as an increase to additional paid-in capital, but record such excess tax benefits on a prospective basis as a reduction of income tax expense, which amounted to $576,000 and $1,028,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, excess tax benefits recorded as a reduction of income tax expense were $5,094,000 and $5,325,000, respectively. The magnitude of the impact of excess tax benefits generated in the future, which may be favorable or unfavorable, is dependent upon the Company's future grants of share-based compensation, the Company's future stock price on the date awards vest or exercise in relation to the fair value of the awards on the grant date or the exercise behavior of the Company's stock appreciation rights holders. Since these favorable tax benefits are largely unrelated to our current year's income before taxes and is unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on adjusted diluted EPS for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Adjusted diluted EPS represents GAAP diluted EPS excluding the impact of the (A) amortization of intangible assets, (B) acquisition and integration costs, (C) deferred financing costs, (D) tax effect, if any, of the foregoing adjustments, (E) excess tax benefits relating to equity awards vested and exercised since January 1, 2017, and (F) correction of prior periods error. 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.

As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" on January 1, 2018, we are required to present in the statement of cash flows the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. We adjusted certain restricted cash amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 in the cash flow table presented above. These adjustments had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.
