Business Highlights

AMN team members and our healthcare professionals have been instrumental in responding to our country's needs to care for COVID-19 patients.
We have increased diversity, inclusion, equity and equality actions and education to support our team members and communities in fighting social injustice and racism.
Second quarter financial results were ahead of guidance, led by strength in travel nurse staffing and the quick recovery of our language interpretation business, Stratus Video.
Revenue of $608 million was 14% above prior year, with organic revenue higher by 2%, and adjusted EBITDA was $81 million.
While many of our businesses saw demand disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, most business lines performed in line with or better than our expectations in the second quarter.
Operating cash flow in the quarter was $77 million, helping us to pay down $127 million of debt and reach a leverage ratio of 2.7 to 1.
With improving healthcare utilization and the continued impact of COVID-19, current travel nurse demand is significantly higher than prior-year levels.

"Our healthcare professionals and the entire AMN team are doing an exceptional job of pivoting and leaning in to help patients receive the compassionate care needed as our country navigates through this crisis, and we are prioritizing their health and well-being," said Susan R. Salka, Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. "AMN's long-standing commitment to diversity, equality, equity and inclusion has been a critical part of our culture and collaboration with stakeholders. Our dedication in fighting for social justice and against racism has been fortified over these last few months, and AMN is taking greater action to support our team members, healthcare professionals, clients and communities.

"In this unprecedented business environment, we have adapted our operations and cost structure to be more agile and responsive to the fast-changing needs of our healthcare professionals and clients. We are also continuing to make important investments in our people, processes and technology to further differentiate AMN and enable future growth opportunities," Ms. Salka said. "We believe these past few months have strengthened our relationship with our strategic clients and improved our competitive positioning as we have launched expanded and new solutions, demonstrating the value of having a total talent solutions partner."

Second Quarter 2020 Results

Consolidated revenue for the quarter was $608 million, a 14% increase over prior year and 1% higher than prior quarter. On an organic basis, consolidated revenue was up 2% over prior year.

Revenue for the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment was $444 million up 21% year over year, up 13% organic excluding the June 2019 acquisition of Advanced Medical, and up 5% sequentially. Travel Nurse revenue led the way with 41% year-over-year growth, including 35% organic. Allied division revenue increased 10% year over year due to the acquisition of Advanced Medical, with organic revenue down 13%.

The Physician and Leadership Solutions segment reported revenue of $109 million, down 24% year over year and down 21% sequentially. All business lines in the segment were negatively affected by the reductions in non-emergency care. Locum tenens revenue was $62 million, down 25% year over year and down sequentially by 22%. Interim leadership revenue fell 17% year over year, and our physician and leadership search businesses saw revenue decline 34% compared with a year ago.

Technology and Workforce Solutions segment revenue was $55 million for an increase of 123% year over year (3% organic), driven in large part by our acquisitions of Stratus Video and b4health. Stratus Video contributed $28 million revenue in the quarter, significantly better than expected as this business quickly rebounded from a COVID-19-driven slowdown in March and April. Our vendor management systems, open marketplace and scheduling and predictive analytics businesses also performed better than expected.

Gross margin was 32.5%, lower by 100 basis points year over year and sequentially. The variance was driven primarily by a segment mix shift toward lower-margin Nurse and Allied staffing and a lower gross margin in the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment from a lower bill-pay spread.

SG&A expenses were $137 million, or 22.5% of revenue, compared with $122 million, or 22.7% of revenue, in the same quarter last year. SG&A was $146 million, or 24.3% of revenue, in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase in SG&A costs included $10 million of additional SG&A from acquired companies. SG&A in the quarter also included $4 million of restructuring expenses associated with our cost reduction actions, $4 million of acquisition integration expenses, and a $5 million increase in the earn-out obligation associated with the b4health acquisition.

Income from operations was $38 million with an operating margin of 6.3%, compared with $45 million and 8.4%, respectively, in the same quarter last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $81 million, a year-over-year increase of 21%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 13.2%, representing an increase of 70 basis points year over year.

Net income was $22 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared with $29 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. Adjusted diluted EPS in the second quarter was $0.83. As noted in the tables of this press release, the difference between GAAP and adjusted net income and EPS is driven by higher amortization related to recent acquisitions, integration-related expenses, and an increase in the earn-out obligation for the b4health acquisition, offset in part by adjustments to normalize our tax rate.

At June 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents totaled $43 million. Cash flow from operations was $77 million for the quarter, and capital expenditures were $6 million. The Company ended the quarter with total debt outstanding of $973 million and a leverage ratio of 2.7 to 1.

Third Quarter 2020 Outlook

The COVID-19 pandemic has been highly disruptive to economic activity and to healthcare infrastructure in the United States, making healthcare labor demand volatile, differing widely among client segments. COVID-19 patient volumes have been highly variable, with surges continuing across the country driving significantly higher demand for nurses; however, elective procedures and routine care are still below pre-crisis levels. The trajectory of healthcare and economic recovery is uncertain, and we are anticipating continued surges in COVID-19 care coupled with a modest recovery of non-COVID-19 healthcare services.

In our Nurse and Allied Solutions segment, we expect third quarter revenue to be down approximately 10% from prior year. For our largest business of travel nurse staffing, we expect revenue to be up 3-5% to prior year, with lower volumes offset by higher rates and hours worked. Allied revenue is expected to be lower than prior year by 27-29% as a result of reduced healthcare utilization, particularly impacting our physical therapy discipline.

Our Physician and Leadership Solutions segment saw a sharp sequential drop in April revenue as the national response to the pandemic resulted in an abrupt falloff of contingent and permanent labor demand. The revenue trend stabilized in June, and we expect the segment will remain at this level in the third quarter with revenue estimated at nearly 30% below prior year.

We project revenue for our Technology and Workforce Solutions segment to rise approximately 140% compared with prior year, including the recent acquisitions of Stratus Video and b4health. Segment revenue dropped in April, but May and June rebounded. Our language interpretation business has experienced steady growth in billable minutes since May, which we expect will continue through the third quarter.

Based on the above trends, we are projecting consolidated third quarter revenue to be in a range of $510 million to $525 million. Third quarter gross margin is expected to be 33.0-33.5%, operating margin is expected to be above 7%, and adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be greater than 13%.

Third quarter estimates for certain financial items include depreciation of $7 million, non-cash amortization expense of $15 million, stock-based compensation expense of $4 million, interest expense of $10 million, integration expenses of $6 million, and an adjusted tax rate of 30%.

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, (3) adjusted net income, and (4) adjusted diluted EPS. The Company provides such non-GAAP financial measures because management believes that they are useful to both 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, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS serve as industry-wide financial measures. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA for making financial decisions, allocating resources and for determining certain incentive compensation objectives. 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 "Non-GAAP Reconciliation Tables" 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. 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning the trajectory of the healthcare industry and economic recovery, the magnitude and extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will result in a recovery for certain healthcare services, future demand and pay rates, hours worked and volume projections, overall healthcare utilization rates, third quarter 2020 revenue projections for each of our Nurse and Allied Solutions, Physician and Leadership Solutions and Technology and Workforce Solutions segments, travel nurse staffing and allied businesses, billable minute projections for our language interpretation business, third quarter year-over-year performance of our VMS business, and our third quarter guidance for consolidated revenue, gross margin, operating margin, adjusted EBITDA margin, depreciation expense, non-cash amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, integration expenses, and adjusted tax rate. The Company bases these forward-looking statements on its current expectations, estimates and projections about future events and the industry in which it operates using information currently available to it. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are also identified by words such as "believe," "project," "anticipate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "will," "may," "estimates," variations of such words and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements.

The Company's ability to meet the targets and expectations noted in our third quarter 2020 outlook depends upon, among other factors, (i) the magnitude and duration of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand trends, our business, its financial condition and our results of operations, (ii) the duration of the period that hospitals and other healthcare entities decrease their utilization of temporary employees, physicians, leaders and other workforce technology applications as a result of the suspension of or restrictions placed on non-essential and elective healthcare as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, (iii) the duration of the period that individuals may continue to forego non-essential and elective healthcare as "safer at home" restrictions and recommendations start to lift, (iv) the extent and duration of the period that a significant spike in unemployment that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic will cause an increase in under- and uninsured patients and a corresponding reduction in overall healthcare utilization and demand for our services, (v) our ability to anticipate and quickly respond to changing marketplace conditions, such as alternative modes of healthcare delivery, reimbursement, or client needs, (vi) our ability to manage the pricing impact that the COVID-19 pandemic and consolidation of healthcare delivery organizations may have on our business, (vii) the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may disrupt our operations due to the unavailability of our employees or healthcare professionals due to illness, risk of illness, quarantines, travel restrictions or other factors that limit our existing or potential workforce and pool of candidates, (viii) the severity and duration of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on the financial condition and cash flow of many hospitals and healthcare systems such that it impairs their ability to make payments to us, timely or otherwise, for services rendered, (ix) our ability to recruit and retain sufficient quality healthcare professionals at reasonable costs (x) our ability to develop and evolve our current technology offerings and capabilities and implement new infrastructure and technology systems to optimize our operating results and manage our business effectively, (xi) our ability to comply with extensive and complex federal and state laws and regulations related to the conduct of our operations, costs and payment for services and payment for referrals as well as laws regarding employment practices, and (xii) our ability to consummate and effectively incorporate acquisitions into our business.

For a discussion of additional risk factors and a more complete discussion of some of the cautionary statements noted above that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release, please refer to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. Be advised that developments subsequent to this press release are likely to cause these statements to become outdated and the Company is under no obligation (and expressly disclaims any such obligation) to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
