DALLAS, Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. (NYSE: AMN), the leader and innovator in total talent solutions for healthcare organizations across the United States, today announced its second quarter 2025 financial results. Financial highlights are as follows:

Dollars in millions, except per share amounts.

* See “Non-GAAP Measures” below for a discussion of our use of non-GAAP items and the table entitled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation Tables” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP items.

Business Highlights

• Second quarter revenue was near the high end of guidance, and adjusted EBITDA margin exceeded guidance. The GAAP loss includes noncash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges totaling $128 million, or ($2.81) per share.
• Our allied staffing business exceeded our revenue projection in the second quarter while other businesses were in line with our expectations.
• AMN Passport, our industry-leading app for healthcare professionals, recently surpassed 300,000 users.
• The July sale of Smart Square for $75 million advances the partnership strategy for our WorkWise technology platform.
• Cash flow from operations was strong at $79 million in the second quarter, which allowed us to reduce debt by $80 million. Our net leverage ratio at quarter end was 3.3:1.
  

“Our second quarter financial performance was solid, and we continue to make progress on our ability to serve all market channels and align with clients as their preferred workforce partner,” said Cary Grace, President and Chief Executive Officer of AMN Healthcare. “Third-party rankings have confirmed that AMN is holding market share in a highly competitive market. We believe our enhanced AI and technology-enabled services, broad solution set, and talented team position us to gain share in the future.”

Ms. Grace continued, "An uncertain healthcare policy environment caused our clients to slow their decision-making in the second quarter, which is reflected in our third quarter guidance. We saw signs of improvement in July as orders stabilized and extension rates rebounded."

Second Quarter 2025 Results

Consolidated revenue for the quarter was $658 million, an 11% decrease from prior year and a 5% decrease from the prior quarter. Net loss was $116 million (17.7% of revenue), or ($3.02) per diluted share, compared with net income of $16 million (2.2% of revenue), or $0.42 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted diluted EPS in the second quarter was $0.30 compared with $0.98 in the same quarter a year ago.

Revenue for the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment was $382 million, lower by 14% year over year and down 8% from the prior quarter. Travel nurse staffing revenue was lower by 25% year over year and 4% sequentially. Allied division revenue declined 4% year over year and was 1% lower than the prior quarter. Labor disruption events contributed $16 million revenue in the quarter.

The Physician and Leadership Solutions segment reported revenue of $175 million, down 6% year over year and flat sequentially. Locum tenens revenue was $143 million, flat year over year and 1% higher sequentially. Interim leadership revenue was down by 25% year over year and 5% lower sequentially. Our physician and leadership search businesses saw revenue decline by 29% year over year and 2% quarter over quarter.

Technology and Workforce Solutions segment revenue was $102 million, a decrease of 9% year over year and flat sequentially. Language services revenue was $76 million in the quarter, 1% higher than the prior year and up 1% sequentially. Vendor management systems revenue was $19 million, 31% lower year over year and down 2% from the prior quarter.

Consolidated gross margin was 29.8%, 120 basis points lower year over year, but up 110 basis points sequentially. Gross margin declined year over year with lower margins in all our business segments. Sequentially gross margin increased on lower payroll tax expense and a favorable revenue mix shift.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $155 million, or 23.5% of revenue, compared with $149 million, or 20.1% of revenue, in the same quarter last year. SG&A was $148 million, or 21.4% of revenue, in the previous quarter. The year-over-year increase in SG&A costs was driven primarily by an unfavorable professional liability insurance actuarial adjustment in the current year compared with a favorable adjustment in the prior year.

Loss from operations was ($124 million) with an operating margin of (18.8%), compared with income of $38 million and 5.1%, respectively, in the same quarter last year. The current quarter loss resulted from non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges totaling $128 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $58 million, a year-over-year decrease of 38%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 8.9%, 380 basis points lower than the year-ago period.

At June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $42 million. Cash flow from operations was $79 million for the second quarter. Capital expenditures were $10 million. The Company ended the quarter with total debt outstanding of $920 million.

Sale of Smart Square

In July, we announced the sale of our Smart Square nurse scheduling software to symplr and announced a commercial partnership that leverages our workforce advisory, planning and analytics solutions with the healthcare workforce management solutions of symplr. For the sale, AMN received $65 million cash and a $10 million note due in 18 months.

The transaction closed on July 1, and the sale will reduce our Technology and Workforce Solutions and consolidated revenue and adjusted EBITDA on an annualized basis by approximately $17 million and $6 million, respectively.

Third Quarter 2025 Outlook

^{*Note: Guidance percentage metrics are approximate.   For a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA margin, see the table entitled “Reconciliation of Guidance Operating Margin to Guidance Adjusted EBITDA Margin” below.}

Revenue in the third quarter of 2025 is expected to be 9-11% lower than the prior year and down 5-7% sequentially. Nurse and Allied Solutions segment revenue is expected to be down 11-14% year over year. Physician and Leadership Solutions segment revenue is expected to be down 2-4% year over year.

Non-GAAP Measures

This earnings release and the non-GAAP reconciliation tables included with the earnings release contain 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, 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 https://ir.amnhealthcare.com/financials/quarterly-results. 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.

(1)   Operating margin represents income (loss) from operations divided by revenue.
(2)   A portion of depreciation expense for AMN Language Services is included in cost of revenue. We exclude the impact of depreciation included in cost of revenue from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA.
(3)   Acquisition, integration, and other costs include acquisition and integration costs, net changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities for recently acquired companies, certain legal expenses, restructuring expenses and other costs associated with exit or disposal activities, and certain nonrecurring expenses, which we exclude from the calculation of adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted EPS because we believe that these expenses are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, acquisition and integration costs were approximately $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, certain legal expenses were approximately $3.2 million and $4.3 million, respectively, restructuring expenses and other costs associated with exit or disposal activities were approximately $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, and other nonrecurring expenses were approximately $1.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, acquisition and integration costs were approximately $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, expenses related to the closures of certain office leases were approximately $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, certain legal expenses of approximately $2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, restructuring expenses and other costs associated with exit or disposal activities were approximately $2.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and other nonrecurring expenses were approximately $2.3 million and $4.3 million, respectively. Additionally, the aforementioned costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were partially offset by an immaterial out-of-period adjustment of $2.4 million related to acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of MSDR.
(4)   Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus interest expense (net of interest income) and other, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, depreciation (included in cost of revenue), goodwill impairment loss, long-lived assets impairment loss, share-based compensation, acquisition, integration, and other costs, restructuring expenses, and certain legal expenses. 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. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to income (loss) from operations or net income (loss) 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 (loss), and management therefore utilizes adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as net income (loss).
(5)   Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.
(6)   The Company records net tax expense (benefit) related to the income tax treatment of the fair value changes in the cash surrender value of its company owned life insurance. Since this change in fair value is unrelated to the Company’s operating performance, we excluded the impact on adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS.
(7)   The Company recorded a reserve related to a state tax audit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Since this reserve is largely unrelated to our loss before taxes and is unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded its impact in the calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS.
(8)   The consolidated effective tax rate is affected by the recording of tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to equity awards vested during the period and tax benefits recognized for disqualifying dispositions related to our employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”). The magnitude of the impact of tax benefits and tax deficiencies generated in the future related to equity awards and ESPP is dependent upon the Company’s future grants of share-based compensation, the Company’s future stock price on the date equity awards vest in relation to the fair value of the awards on the grant date, the Company’s future stock price on either the ESPP’s offering date or purchase date, whichever is lower, and the length of time the shares issued under the ESPP are held by employees. Since these tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to equity awards and ESPP are largely unrelated to our income (loss) before income taxes and are unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact in the calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS.
(9)   Adjusted net income represents GAAP net income (loss) excluding the impact of the (A) amortization of intangible assets, (B) acquisition, integration, and other costs, (C) goodwill impairment loss, (D) long-lived assets impairment loss, (E) certain legal expenses, (F) changes in fair value of equity investments and instruments, (G) deferred financing related costs, (H) tax effect, if any, of the foregoing adjustments, (I) net tax expense (benefit) related to the income tax treatment of fair value changes in the cash surrender value of its company owned life insurance, (J) tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to equity awards vested and ESPP, and (K) state tax audit reserve. 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 in the calculation of adjusted net income). Although management believes the items in the calculation of adjusted net income are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance, these items do impact the statement of comprehensive income (loss), and management therefore utilizes adjusted net income as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as GAAP net income (loss).
(10)   Adjusted diluted EPS represents adjusted net income divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. 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 in the calculation of adjusted net income). Although management believes the items in the calculation of adjusted net income are not indicative of the Company’s operating performance, these items do impact the statement of comprehensive income (loss), and management therefore utilizes adjusted diluted EPS as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as GAAP diluted EPS.
(11)   As GAAP net loss is reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and three months ended March 31, 2025, basic weighted average common shares outstanding was used to calculate GAAP diluted EPS for those periods because the dilutive potential common shares have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., result in a lower loss per share). As adjusted net income is reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and three months ended March 31, 2025, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding (including dilutive potential common shares) of 38,571, 38,473, and 38,414, respectively, were used to calculate adjusted diluted EPS.
(12)   Segment operating income represents net income (loss) plus interest expense (net of interest income) and other, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, depreciation (included in cost of revenue), unallocated corporate overhead, acquisition, integration, and other costs, legal settlement accrual changes, share-based compensation, goodwill impairment loss, and long-lived assets impairment loss.
(13)   Unallocated corporate overhead (as presented in the tables above) consists of unallocated corporate overhead (as reflected in our quarterly and annual financial statements filed with the SEC) less acquisition, integration, and other costs and legal settlement accrual changes.
(14)   Average travelers on assignment represents the average number of nurse and allied healthcare professionals on assignment during the period presented.
(15)   Days filled is calculated by dividing the locum tenens hours filled during the period by eight hours.
(16)   Revenue per day filled represents revenue of the Company’s locum tenens business divided by days filled for the period presented.
(17)   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.
(18)   Guidance percentage metrics are approximate.
