Key business highlights for the second quarter are as follows:
In our temporary staffing segments, revenues were up sequentially and demand continues to rise.
Revenues for our largest
segment, Nurse and Allied Staffing, were up 4% sequentially, due primarily to a 5% sequential and 36% year-over-year pro forma increase in travel nurse staffing.
Selling, general and administrative ( SG&A ) expenses were flat versus prior quarter, an improvement as a percentage of revenues of 70 bps sequentially and 80 bps year-over-year.
Our momentum in winning new managed services program (MSP) contracts continues, with 30 new MSP clients added during the last 12 months representing approximately $75 million in annualized gross spend under management.
We continue to experience a steady market recovery, as represented by a fifth consecutive quarter of sequential, consolidated revenue growth. This performance has been driven primarily by the overall health and improvement in the travel nursing business, as well as the continued
addition of new clients who have chosen AMN Healthcare as their MSP partner, said Susan R. Salka, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. We are also experiencing the performance improvement and cost savings benefits from the Medfinders acquisition, which we closed almost a year ago.
Second Quarter 2011 Results
For the second quarter of 2011, consolidated revenue was $235 million, which represented an increase of 2% from prior quarter and 57% from the same quarter last year. Second quarter revenue for the Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment was $140 million, an increase of 4% sequentially and 85% from the same quarter last year. The Locum Tenens Staffing segment generated revenue of $71 million, an increase of 1% sequentially and 9% from the same quarter last year. Second quarter Physician Permanent Placement Services
segment revenue was $9 million, a decrease of 13% sequentially and an increase of 14% from the same quarter last year. This sequential decline was due primarily to the adoption of a new revenue recognition standard in the first quarter. Second quarter revenue for the Home Healthcare Services segment, which was added in the third quarter of 2010 through the Medfinders acquisition, was $14 million, an increase of 2% from the prior quarter.
Gross margin in the second quarter of 2011 was 27.7%, a decrease of 190 bps compared to the previous quarter and an increase of 10 bps from the same quarter last year. The sequential decrease was due primarily to a first quarter $1.9 million actuarial-based workers compensation benefit and the new revenue recognition standard mentioned previously.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue for the second quarter were 22.4%, compared to
23.1% in the prior quarter and 23.2% in the same quarter last year. The decrease was due to the leveraging of an improved cost infrastructure and acquisition synergies. Included in SG&A expenses in the second quarter were $1.2 million of integration-related expenses. Without the integration costs, SG&A expenses were 21.9% of revenues.
Second quarter 2011 GAAP earnings per diluted share was $0.02. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.03 excluding integration-related costs.
As of June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $8 million, and total debt outstanding, net of discount, was $216 million.
Business Trends and Outlook
Going into the third quarter of 2011, the Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment continues to experience positive momentum overall with 2% to 4% sequential revenue growth anticipated. This is being led by an
expected increase in travel nurse volumes of at least 30% above prior year pro forma levels. The Locum Tenens Staffing segment is expected to show a sequential improvement of 3% to 5% in third quarter revenues. Physician Permanent Placement Services segment revenues are anticipated to remain stable sequentially. The Home Healthcare Services segment revenues are expected to be up 1% to 3% from the prior quarter. On a consolidated basis, third quarter revenues are expected to be between $241 million and $245 million. Gross margin is anticipated to be between 27.0% and 27.5%. SG&A expenses are expected to be approximately 22% of revenues.

| (1) Segment Operating Income represents net income plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, unallocated corporate overhead, and stock-based compensation expense. Management believes that Segment Operating Income is an industry wide financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating the company's performance. Management also uses Segment Operating Income for planning purposes. Segment Operating Income is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and allocation of costs. | |
| (2) Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, acquisition related costs and stock-based compensation expense. Management presents adjusted EBITDA because it believes that adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income as an indicator of operating performance. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA is an industry wide financial measure that is useful both to management and investors when evaluating the company's performance. Management also uses adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes. Management uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the company's performance because it 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 considers measures used in credit facilities. However, 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, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. As defined, adjusted EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. While 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 income statement, and management therefore utilizes adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as net income. | |
| (3) Adjusted EPS represents GAAP EPS excluding the impact of acquisition related costs. Management presents adjusted EPS because it believes that adjusted EPS is a useful supplement to diluted net income per share as an indicator of operating performance. Management believes such a measure provides a picture of the company's results that is more comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items that may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby distorting comparisons between periods. However, 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 EPS). As defined, adjusted EPS is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. While management believes that some of the items excluded from adjusted EPS are not indicative of the company's operating performance, these items do impact the income statement, and management therefore utilizes adjusted EPS as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as GAAP EPS. | |
| (4) Average travelers on assignment represents the average number of nurse and allied healthcare professionals on assignment during the period presented. | |
| (5) Revenue per traveler per day and gross profit per traveler per day represent the revenue and gross profit of the company's nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment divided by average travelers on assignment, divided by the number of days in the period presented. | |
| (6) Days filled is calculated by dividing the locum tenens hours filled during the period by 8 hours. Revenue per day filled and gross profit per day filled represent revenue and gross profit of the company's locum tenens staffing segment divided by days filled for the period presented. | |
| (7) For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company revised its previously reported average travelers on assignment for the nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment. As a result, the revenue per traveler per day and gross profit per traveler per day for the same period were also revised. |
