Highlights


    --  Strong demand for healthcare workforce solutions and staffing continues,
        driving third-quarter 2016 revenue growth of 23% year-over-year, with
        12% organic growth.
    --  Nurse and Allied Solutions segment revenue up 16% year-over-year driven
        primarily by volume growth.
    --  Adjusted EBITDA grew 27% year-over-year with a 40 basis point margin
        increase.
    --  Generated $30 million of operating cash flow in the quarter and $85
        million year-to-date, a 52% increase compared to the first nine months
        in 2015.
    --  Successfully completed a debt offering in October, adding long-term
        liquidity at favorable terms to position the Company for further
        investment in growth opportunities.
    --  Board of Directors authorized a $150 million share repurchase program.

"The demand for healthcare professionals and workforce solutions is strong today and is expected to continue to grow as turnover and vacancies persist at historical high levels," said Susan R. Salka, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. "Our results this quarter reflect a positive market environment but are also a testament to the team's outstanding execution as we partner with our clients to help them manage their significant labor challenges and enable them to stay focused on delivering quality patient care. We are well positioned to offer strategic solutions to address these issues through our broad suite of services. The current demand levels, indicators of our clients' future needs and our leading market position provide us with optimism heading into 2017."

Ms. Salka added, "I am also pleased to announce that our Board approved a $150 million share repurchase program to leverage our strong financial position and free cash flow as another prudent capital allocation option. Although we will continue to prioritize investing in our current businesses and compelling acquisition opportunities, we are also committed to maximizing shareholder returns, and we believe a share repurchase program provides an additional mechanism to accomplish this."

Third-Quarter 2016 Results

Consolidated revenue was $473 million, an increase of 23% from the same quarter last year, driven by 12% organic growth mainly stemming from the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment.

Revenue for the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment was $287 million, which is 16% higher compared to the same quarter last year and down 2% sequentially. The sequential decline in this segment resulted from minimal labor disruption-related revenue in the third quarter, compared to the prior quarter that had approximately $19 million of revenue from these services. The Travel Nurse division continued with strong performance, with revenue up 21% year-over-year and 4% sequentially. Allied revenue was up 10% year-over-year and 6% sequentially.

Locum Tenens Solutions segment revenue was $109 million, an increase of 7% from the same quarter last year and down 1% sequentially. The Other Workforce Solutions segment revenue was $77 million, an increase of 125% from the same quarter last year and 7% sequentially, with the growth in both periods driven mostly from recent acquisitions.

Gross margin was 32.7%, which is 20 basis points lower than the same quarter last year and flat sequentially. The year-over-year gross margin decline was due to a lower Nurse and Allied Solutions segment gross margin, partially offset by an increase in gross margin in the Locum Tenens segment and greater contribution from the higher-margin Other Workforce Solutions segment.

SG&A expenses were $100 million, or 21.2% of revenue, compared to $83 million, or 21.7% of revenue, in the same quarter last year and $100 million, or 21.0% of revenue, in the previous quarter. The year-over-year 50 basis point decline in percentage of revenue was driven by improved operating leverage. The 20 basis point increase in percentage of revenue from the previous quarter was mainly driven by a $2 million professional liability actuarial credit recorded in the second quarter.

Net income was $27 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to $34 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. The prior-year quarter included a $12 million benefit related to a reversal of tax reserves. Excluding amortization of intangible assets and acquisition and integration costs, net of tax, adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.62. Adjusted EBITDA was $58 million, a year-over-year increase of 27%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.3%, representing a 40 basis point increase year-over-year and a 20 basis point decrease sequentially. The sequential decline was mainly the result of the previously noted actuarial benefit recorded last quarter.

At September 30, 2016, cash and cash equivalents totaled $16 million. Cash flow from operations was $30 million and capital expenditures were $5 million. The Company ended the quarter with total debt outstanding of $386 million, with a leverage ratio as calculated in accordance with the Company's credit agreement of 1.7 to 1.

On October 3, 2016, the Company completed the offering and sale of $325 million principal amount of its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024, the proceeds of which were used to repay existing indebtedness under its credit facilities and to pay expenses related to the transaction.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 1, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $150 million of its common stock.

The amount and timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors including the price of the Company's shares, trading volume, Company performance, Company liquidity, general economic and market conditions and other factors that the Company's management believes are relevant. The share repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The Company intends to make all repurchases and to administer the plan in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory guidelines, including Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, and in compliance with its debt instruments. Repurchases may be made from cash on hand, free cash flow generated from the Company's business or from the Company's credit facilities. Repurchases may be made from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. Repurchases may also be made pursuant to one or more plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading restrictions.

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.

    (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 consists of our
                        travel nurse, allied and local
                        staffing businesses. The locum
                        tenens solutions segment consists
                        of our locum tenens staffing
                        business. The other workforce
                        solutions segment consists of 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
                        related consulting business, and
                        our 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
                        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.

    (5)                 Adjusted EBITDA margin represents
                        adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

    (6)                 Adjusted diluted EPS represents GAAP
                        diluted EPS excluding the impact of
                        (A) amortization of intangible
                        assets, (B) acquisition and
                        integration costs, (C) IRS
                        adjustment, and (D) tax effect, if
                        any, of the foregoing 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)                 Days filled is calculated by
                        dividing the locum tenens hours
                        filled during the period by eight
                        hours.

    (9)                 Revenue per day filled represents
                        revenue of the Company's locum
                        tenens solutions segment divided by
                        days filled for the period
                        presented.

    (10)                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 ended at the end of the
                        subject period.
