Based on the solid long-term macro-drivers of our industry, the current market environment and our continuing strong trends as we begin 2016, we feel positive about our growth trajectory and ability to continue delivering differentiated value to our clients and shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter 2015 Results

For the fourth quarter of 2015, consolidated revenue was $403 million, an increase of 44% from the same quarter last year and 5% sequentially. Fourth quarter revenue for the Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment was $289 million, up 51% from the same quarter last year and 8% sequentially. Locum Tenens Staffing segment revenue in the fourth quarter was $99 million, an increase of 30% from the same quarter last year and down 2% sequentially. Fourth quarter Physician Permanent Placement Services segment revenue was $15 million, an increase of 23% from the same quarter last year and down 1% sequentially.

Fourth quarter gross margin of 32.7% was 240 basis points higher than the same quarter last year and 20 basis points lower sequentially. The year-over-year gross margin improvement was driven primarily by an increased revenue mix of our higher-margin workforce solutions businesses, along with a gross margin increase in the Locum Tenens Staffing segment.

SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter were $90 million, representing 22.4% of revenue, compared to 22.1% in the same quarter last year and 21.7% in the prior quarter. The SG&A increase was due primarily to higher acquisition and integration costs and higher expenses to support business growth and strategic initiatives.

Fourth quarter net income was $20 million and net income per diluted share was $0.41. Excluding amortization of intangible assets and acquisition and integration costs incurred during the quarter, adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.47. Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA was $47 million, a year-over-year increase of 85% and a sequential increase of 3%. Fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.6% represented a 260 basis point increase year-over-year and 30 basis point decrease sequentially.

Full Year 2015 Results

Full year 2015 consolidated revenue was $1,463 million, an increase of 41% from prior year. Nurse and Allied Healthcare Staffing segment revenue was $1,024 million, a year-over-year increase of 47%. Locum Tenens Staffing segment revenue was $385 million, a year-over-year increase of 30%. Physician Permanent Placement Services segment revenue was $54 million, a year-over-year increase of 21%.

Full year gross margin was 32.1% as compared to 30.5% for prior year, with gross margin expansion across all three reportable segments.

Full year SG&A expenses were $320 million, representing 21.8% of revenue as compared to 22.4% for the prior year. The decrease in SG&A margin was due primarily to operating leverage on the revenue growth.

Full year net income was $82 million, which included a $12 million favorable reversal of tax reserves. Full year net income per diluted common share was $1.68. Excluding the tax reserve reversal, amortization of intangible assets, and acquisition and integration costs incurred during the year, adjusted net income per diluted share was $1.64. Full year adjusted EBITDA grew 81% to $165 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 11.3% represented a 250 basis point increase over prior year.

Business Trends and Outlook

The Company expects consolidated first quarter 2016 revenue of $444 million to $450 million. Gross margin is expected to be approximately 33.0%. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue are expected to be approximately 22.0%. Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 11.5%.

As AMN Healthcare continues to expand its leadership position as the innovator in healthcare workforce solutions and is able to gain SG&A leverage from revenue growth and technology driven efficiencies, management believes the Company can further improve its conversion of revenue to profitability. Assuming macro-trends remain positive, the Company is setting a long-term goal of achieving an adjusted EBITDA margin of 14% by 2020.

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.
