Highlights
- Second quarter revenue and earnings above Company guidance due primarily to higher performance in the Nurse and Allied segment
- Allied division continued strong organic revenue growth of 9% over prior year
- Closed and began integration of Advanced Medical, enhancing MSP fulfillment and expanding our clinical staffing in school settings
- New and expanded MSP contracts signed year to date, valued at nearly $200 million annualized gross spend at maturity
"The AMN team is performing exceptionally well during this time of increasing need for workforce solutions and severe talent shortages within healthcare," said Susan R. Salka, Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. "Demand for contingent labor and our solutions continues to rise, with requests for nursing and allied professionals more than 20% above prior-year levels. This reflects the difficulties of an extremely tight labor market and growing demand for healthcare services. AMN is partnering with our clients to deliver innovative solutions and analytics to improve efficiency and the clinician and patient experience."
Second Quarter 2019 Results
Consolidated revenue for the quarter was $535 million, a 4% decrease over prior year but 1% higher than prior quarter. Revenue for the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment was $332 million, flat year over year and down 2% sequentially. Advanced Medical, which was acquired in June, contributed $5 million of revenue in the quarter. Travel Nurse division revenue increased 3% year over year, and Allied division revenue increased 14% year over year, 9% organic. The quarter included revenue from labor disruption activity, but this revenue was lower than prior year due to a large strike last year.
In line with expectations, the Locum Tenens Solutions segment reported revenue of $82 million, down by 24% year over year but up 2% sequentially. Other Workforce Solutions segment revenue was higher than anticipated at $121 million for an increase of 3% year over year, driven by growth in our interim leadership, physician permanent placement and VMS businesses.
Gross margin was 33.5%, higher by 110 basis points year over year and higher by 30 basis points sequentially. The year-over-year variance was driven in part by higher gross margins on labor disruption revenue and a favorable segment revenue mix.
SG&A expenses were $122 million, or 22.7% of revenue, compared with $116 million, or 20.7% of revenue, in the same quarter last year. SG&A was $120 million, or 22.5% of revenue, in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase was mainly from the recent acquisitions and increased employee-related costs, partially offset by a more favorable professional liability insurance actuarial adjustment.
Income from operations was $45 million, or 8.4% of revenue, compared with $55 million, or 9.8% of revenue, in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $67 million, a year-over-year decrease of 5%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.5%, representing a decrease of 10 basis points year over year and up 10 basis points from prior quarter.
Net income was $29 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared with $36 million, or $0.73 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. Adjusted diluted EPS was $0.77.
At June 30, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $21 million. Cash flow from operations was $29 million for the quarter, and capital expenditures were $8 million. The Company ended the quarter with total debt outstanding of $671 million, with a leverage ratio as calculated in accordance with the Company's credit agreement of 2.4 to 1.
Third Quarter 2019 Outlook
Metric | Guidance* |
Consolidated revenue | $560 - $566 million |
Gross margin | 33.0% |
SG&A as percentage of revenue | 22.5% |
Operating margin | 7.7% |
Adjusted EBITDA margin | 12.0% |
*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. |
Revenue in the third quarter of 2019 is expected to be approximately 7% higher year over year, including a full-quarter contribution from the Advanced acquisition. Organic consolidated revenue would be expected to be flat to up 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 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. |
(4) | Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. |
(5) | Share-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was impacted by two modifications during the first quarter and effective in 2019, a new vesting condition that resulted in accelerated expense recognition. |
(6) | Acquisition, integration and other costs of $5,156,000 and $9,185,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, include extraordinary legal expenses of approximately $2,500,000 and $4,600,000, respectively. These expenses were partially offset by decreases in contingent consideration liabilities for recently acquired companies of $1,458,000 and $2,158,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Beginning in 2019, we exclude the impact of extraordinary legal expenses from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA because we believe that these expenses are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. |
(7) | 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 in that 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. |
(8) | The Company recorded a net tax benefit of $575,000 and $2,102,000 related to the income tax treatment of the fair value changes in the cash surrender value of its company owned life insurance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Since these changes in fair value are unrelated to the Company's operating performance, we exclude the impact on adjusted diluted EPS. |
(9) | The consolidated effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 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 $973,000 and $576,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, excess tax benefits recorded as a reduction of income tax expense were $5,542,000 and $5,094,000, 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 exclude their impact on adjusted diluted EPS. |
(10) | Adjusted diluted EPS represents GAAP diluted EPS excluding the impact of the (A) amortization of intangible assets, (B) acquisition and integration costs, (C) extraordinary legal expenses, (D) legal settlement accrual increases, (E) changes in fair value of equity investments since January 1, 2018, (F) deferred financing costs, (G) tax effect, if any, of the foregoing adjustments, (H) excess tax benefits relating to equity awards vested and exercised since January 1, 2017, and (I) 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. |
