AMN HEALTHCARE SERVICES, INC.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated balance sheets and related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and cash flows contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), which are unaudited, include the accounts of AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all entries necessary for a fair presentation of such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These entries consisted of all normal recurring items. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year or for any future period.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Please refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 17, 2017 (“2016 Annual Report”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to asset impairments, accruals for self-insurance, compensation and related benefits, accounts receivable, contingencies and litigation, earn-out liabilities, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, “Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The guidance attempts to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions in several areas, including the following: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, forfeitures, expected term, and statement of cash flows classification. The Company adopted this pronouncement prospectively beginning January 1, 2017. Accordingly, the prior period has not been adjusted and the primary effects of the adoption for the current period are as follows:

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

As set forth below, the Company completed three acquisitions during 2016. The Company accounted for each acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, it recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the applicable date of acquisition. For each acquisition, the Company did not incur any material acquisition-related costs.

On June 3, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of Peak Provider Solutions (“Peak”), which provides remote medical coding and consulting solutions to hospitals and physician medical groups nationwide. The addition of Peak has expanded the Company’s workforce solutions and enables the Company to offer services in coding diagnosis and procedure codes, which is critical to clinical quality reporting and the financial health of healthcare organizations. The initial purchase price of $52,125 included (1) $51,645 cash consideration paid upon acquisition, funded through cash-on-hand, net of cash received, and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, and (2) a contingent earn-out payment of up to $3,000 with an estimated fair value of $480 as of the acquisition date. The contingent earn-out payment was based on the operating results of Peak for the year ending December 31, 2016, which resulted in no earn-out payment. As the acquisition was not considered significant, pro forma information ishas not been provided. The results of Peak have been included in the Company’s other workforce solutions segment since the date of acquisition. During the third quarter of 2016, an additional $275 of cash consideration was paid to the selling shareholders for the final working capital settlement.

The allocation of the $52,400 purchase price, which included the additional cash consideration paid for the final working capital settlement, consisted of (1) $5,658 of fair value of tangible assets acquired, (2) $9,346 of liabilities assumed, (3) $19,220 of identified intangible assets, and (4) $36,868 of goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The fair value of intangible assets primarily includes $7,600 of trademarks and $11,500 of customer relationships with a weighted average useful life of approximately thirteen years.

On January 11, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of HealthSource Global Staffing (“HSG”), which provides labor disruption and rapid response staffing. The acquisition helps the Company expand its service lines and provide clients with rapid response staffing services. The initial purchase price of $8,511 included (1) $2,799 cash consideration paid upon acquisition, funded through cash-on-hand, net of cash received, and settlement of the pre-existing relationship between AMN and HSG, (2) $2,122 cash holdback for potential indemnification claims, and (3) a tiered contingent earn-out payment of up to $4,000 with an estimated fair value of $3,590 as of the acquisition date. The contingent earn-out payment is comprised of (A) up to $2,000 based on the operating results of HSG for the year ending December 31, 2016, of which, $1,930 was paid in March 2017, and (B) up to $2,000 based on the operating results of HSG for the year ending December 31, 2017. As the acquisition was not considered significant, pro forma information ishas not been provided. The results of HSG have been included in the Company’s nurse and allied solutions segment since the date of acquisition. During the third quarter of 2016, the final working capital settlement resulted in $292 due from the selling shareholders to the Company, which was settled through a reduction to a cash holdback.

The allocation of the $8,219 purchase price, which was reduced by the final working capital settlement, consisted of (1) $1,025 of fair value of tangible assets acquired, (2) $3,698 of liabilities assumed, (3) $3,944 of identified intangible assets, and (4) $6,948 of goodwill, none of which is deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets include the fair value of trademarks, customer relationships, staffing databases, and covenants not to compete with a weighted average useful life of approximately eight years.

On January 4, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of B.E. Smith (“BES”), a full-service healthcare interim leadership placement and executive search firm, for $162,232 in cash, net of cash received, and settlement of the pre-existing relationship between AMN and BES. BES places interim leaders and executives across all healthcare settings, including acute care hospitals, academic medical and children’s hospitals, physician practices, and post-acute care providers. The acquisition provides the Company additional access to healthcare executives and enhances its integrated services to hospitals, health systems, and other healthcare facilities across the nation. To help finance the acquisition, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”), which provided $125,000 of additional available borrowings to the Company. The First Amendment was more fully described in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note (8), Notes Payable and Credit Agreement” of our 2016 Annual Report. The results of BES have been included in the Company’s other workforce solutions segment since the date of acquisition. During the second quarter of 2016, $524 was returned to the Company for the final working capital settlement.

The allocation of the $161,708 purchase price, which was reduced by the final working capital settlement, consisted of (1) $11,953 of fair value of tangible assets acquired, (2) $7,272 of liabilities assumed, (3) $65,900 of identified intangible assets, and (4) $91,127 of goodwill, most of which is deductible for tax purposes. The intangible assets acquired have a weighted average useful life of approximately fifteen years. The following table summarizes the fair value and useful life of each intangible asset acquired:

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

4. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Share-based awards to purchase 3310 and 1614 shares of common stock were not included in the above calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, respectively, because the effect of these instruments was anti-dilutive. Share-based awards to purchase 2211 and 18 shares of common stock were not included in the above calculation of diluted net income per common share for the sixthree and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016 because the effect of these instruments was anti-dilutive.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s chief operating decision maker relies on internal management reporting processes that provide revenue and operating income by reportable segment for making financial decisions and allocating resources. Segment operating income represents income before income taxes plus depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, interest expense, net, and other, and unallocated corporate overhead. The Company’s management does not evaluate, manage or measure performance of segments using asset information; accordingly, asset information by segment is not prepared or disclosed.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The Company’s valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3) of the fair value hierarchy are disclosed in Part II, Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4—Fair Value Measurement” of the 2016 Annual Report. The Company has not changed the valuation techniques or inputs it uses for its fair value measurement during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Recurring Basis

The Company’s restricted cash equivalents that serve as collateral for the Company’s outstanding letters of credit

The Company’s restricted cash equivalents and investments that serve as collateral for the Company’s captive insurance company primarily consist of commercial paper that is measured at observable market prices for identical securities that are traded in less active markets, which are Level 2 inputs. Of the $27,722$28,538 commercial paper issued and outstanding as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, $10,280$5,076 had original maturities greater than three months, which were considered available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $25,610 commercial paper issued and outstanding, of which $11,152 had original maturities greater than three months and were considered available-for-sale securities.

The Company’s interest rate swap was measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow analysis that includes the contractual terms, including the period to maturity, and Level 2 observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair value of the swap was determined by netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts were based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate yield curves. The valuation also considered credit risk adjustments that were necessary to reflect the probability of default by the counterparty or the Company, which were considered Level 3 inputs. On May 3, 2017, the Company terminated the remaining interest rate swap.

The Company’s contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value using probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis for the acquired companies, which are Level 3 inputs.

The following tables present information about the above-referenced assets and liabilities and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value:

Level 3 Information

Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company applies fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with valuing potential impairment losses related to its goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets, and equity investments.

The Company evaluates goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment and whenever circumstances occur indicating that goodwill might be impaired. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on a combination of inputs, including the market capitalization of the Company, as well as Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flows, which are not observable from the market, directly or indirectly. The Company determines the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the income approach (relief-from-royalty method) based on Level 3 inputs.

There were no triggering events identified and no indication of impairment of the Company’s goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets, or equity investments during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of the Company’s senior notes and term loan approximate their fair values. As it relates to the term loan, the Company amended its credit facilities in January and September 2016 to increase the capacity of the revolver and to incur an additional term loan, and the variable interest rate under the revolver and the term loans (LIBOR plus a spread of between 1.50% and 2.25% or a base rate plus a spread of between 0.50% and 1.25%, at the Company’s option) has remained unchanged since the amendments. As it relates to theThe senior notes were issued in October 2016 theyand have a fixed rate of 5.125% and there. There have been no changes in available rates for similar debt since the date of issuance. See additional information in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note (8), Notes Payable and Credit Agreement” of our 2016 Annual Report.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term self-insurance accruals cannot be estimated as the Company cannot reasonably determine the timing of future payments.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company is no longer subject to state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2006, and the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income or payroll tax examinations for tax years before 2011. The Company’s tax years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 had been under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for several years and in 2014, the IRS issued the Company its Revenue Agent Report (“RAR”) and an Employment Tax Examination Report (“ETER”). The RAR proposed adjustments to the Company’s taxable income for 2007-2010 and net operating loss carryforwards for 2005 and 2006, resulting from the proposed disallowance of certain per diems paid to the Company’s healthcare professionals, and the ETER proposed assessments for additional payroll tax liabilities and penalties for tax years 2009 and 2010 related to the Company’s treatment of certain non-taxable per diem allowances and travel benefits. The positions in the RAR and ETER were mutually exclusive, and contained multiple tax positions, some of which were contrary to each other. The Company filed a Protest Letter for both the RAR and ETER positions in 2014 and the Company received a final determination from the IRS in July 2015 on both the RAR adjustments and ETER assessments, effectively settling these audits with the IRS for $7,200 (including interest) during the third quarter of 2015. As a result of the settlement, the Company recorded federal income tax benefits of approximately $12,200 during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, state income tax benefits (net of federal tax impact) of $568 for the year ended December 31, 2016, and expects to record state income tax benefits (net of federal tax impact) of approximately $1,200 by fiscal year 2019, when the various state statutes are projected to lapse.

The IRS conducted and completed a separate audit of the Company’s 2011 and 2012 tax years that focused on income and employment tax issues similar to those raised in the 2007 through 2010 examination. The IRS completed its audit during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, and issued its RAR and ETER to the Company with proposed adjustments to the Company’s taxable income for 2011 and 2012 and net operating loss carryforwards from 2010 and assessments for additional payroll tax liabilities and penalties for 2011 and 2012 related to the Company’s treatment of certain non-taxable per diem allowances and travel benefits. The positions in the RAR and ETER for the 2011 and 2012 years are mutually exclusive and contain multiple tax positions, some of which are contrary to each other. The Company filed a Protest Letter for both the RAR and ETER in April 2015 and the matter is currently at IRS Appeals. The Company has been meeting and working with the IRS Appeals office and anticipates a resolution within the next twelve months. The IRS began an audit of the Company’s 2013 tax year during the quarter ended June 30, 2015. The Company believes its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits and contingent tax issues is adequate with respect to all open years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company could adjust its provision for income taxes and contingent tax liability based on future developments.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: LEGAL

From time to time, the Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters typically relate to professional liability, tax, payroll, contract, competitor disputes and employee-related matters and include individual and collective lawsuits, as well as inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding the Company’s employment practices. Additionally, some of the Company’s clients may also become subject to claims, governmental inquiries and investigations, and legal actions relating to services provided by the Company’s healthcare professionals. Depending upon the particular facts and circumstances, the Company may also be subject to indemnification obligations under its contracts with such clients relating to these matters. The Company records a liability when management believes an adverse outcome from a loss contingency is both probable and the amount, or a range, can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability of loss and the estimated amount. The Company reviews its loss contingencies at least quarterly and adjusts its accruals and/or disclosures to reflect the impact of

With regards to outstanding loss contingencies as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, which are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet, the Company believes that such matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

9. BALANCE SHEET DETAILS

We provide healthcare workforce solutions and staffing services to healthcare facilities across the nation. As an innovative workforce solutions partner, our managed services programs, or “MSP,” vendor management systems, or “VMS,” recruitment process outsourcing, or “RPO,” workforce optimization services, medical coding and consulting services, and the placement of physicians, nurses, allied healthcare professionals, and healthcare executives into temporary and permanent positions enable our clients to successfully reduce staffing complexity, increase efficiency and lead their organizations within the rapidly evolving healthcare environment. Our clients include acute and sub-acute care hospitals, community health centers and clinics, physician practice groups, retail and urgent care centers, home health facilities, and many other healthcare settings. Our clients utilize our workforce solutions and healthcare staffing services to strategically plan for and meet their workforce needs in an economically beneficial manner. Our managed services program and vendor management systems enable healthcare organizations to increase their efficiency by managing all of their supplemental workforce needs through one company or technology.

 

Locum tenens solutions revenue comprised 22% and 23% of total consolidated revenue for both the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016.2016, respectively. Through our locum tenens solutions segment, we provide a comprehensive managed services solution in which we manage all of the locum tenens needs of a client and place physicians of all specialties, as well as dentists and other advanced practice providers, with clients on a temporary basis as independent contractors. These locum tenens providers are used by our healthcare facility and physician practice group clients to fill temporary vacancies created by vacation and leave schedules and to bridge the gap while they seek permanent candidates or explore expansion. Our locum tenens clients represent a diverse group of healthcare organizations throughout the United States, including hospitals, health systems, medical groups, occupational medical clinics, psychiatric facilities, government institutions, and insurance entities. The professionals we place are recruited nationwide and are typically placed on contracts with assignment lengths ranging from a few days up to one year.

Other workforce solutions segment revenue comprised 16% and 15% of total consolidated revenue for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Through our other workforce solutions segment, we provide hospitals and other healthcare facilities with a range of workforce solutions, including: (1) identifying and recruiting physicians and healthcare leaders for permanent placement, (2) placing interim leaders and executives across all healthcare settings, (3) a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) VMS through which our clients can manage all of their temporary staffing needs, (4) RPO services that leverage our expertise and support systems to replace or complement a client’s existing internal recruitment function for permanent placement needs, (5) an education program that provides custom healthcare education, research, professional practice tools, and professional development services, (6) medical coding and related consulting services, and (7) workforce optimization services that include consulting, data analytics, predictive modeling, and SaaS-based scheduling technology.

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to asset impairments, accruals for self-insurance, compensation and related benefits, accounts receivable, contingencies and litigation, earn-out liabilities, and income taxes. We base these estimates on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, our consolidated financial statements and future results of operations may be materially impacted. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates, other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 described in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1, “Basis of Presentation,” as compared to the critical accounting policies and estimates described in our 2016 Annual Report.

 

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”)&A expenses were $96.7$299.3 million, representing 19.7%20.2% of revenue, for the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, as compared to $99.5$297.4 million, representing 21.0% of revenue, for the same period in 2016. The decreaseincrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to operating leverage on$1.9 million of additional SG&A expenses from the higherPeak acquisition and other expenses associated with our revenue growth, offset by an additional $2.0 million of favorable actuarial-based decreasesdecrease in our professional liability reserves and $1.1$2.1 million decrease in acquisition and integration costs as compared to the same period last year. The decrease was partially offset by $0.8 million of additional SG&A expenses from the Peak acquisition. The decrease in unallocated corporate overhead was primarily attributable to lower acquisition and integration costs. SG&A expenses broken down among the reportable segments, unallocated corporate overhead, and share-based compensation are as follows:     

In April 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on $100 million of our outstanding variable rate debt under one of our term loans for which we pay a fixed rate of 0.983% per annum and receive a variable rate equal to floating one-month LIBOR. This agreement expires on March 30, 2018, and no initial investment was made to enter into this agreement. On October 3, 2016, we reduced the interest rate swap notional amount to $40 million. On May 3, 2017, we terminated the remaining interest rate swap.

 At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we maintained outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $14.9$20.2 million as collateral in relation to our professional liability insurance agreements, workers’ compensation insurance agreements, and a corporate office lease agreement. Of the $14.9$20.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, we have collateralized $4.1$4.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and the remaining amounts are collateralized by the Revolver. Outstanding standby letters of credit at December 31, 2016 totaled $15.4 million.

 At JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangement that has or is reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance provides that the standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.” This standard requires organizations that lease assets to recognize the assets and liabilities created by those leases. The standard also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The ASU becomes effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are required to adopt the guidance on a modified retrospective basis and can elect to apply optional practical expedients. We are currently evaluating the approach we will take and the impact of adopting this new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The standard provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to compute the implied fair value of goodwill to measure impairment. Instead, any goodwill impairment will equal the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Further, the guidance eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment test in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. While we continue to assess the potential impact of this standard, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, our primary exposure to market risk was interest rate risk associated with our variable interest debt instruments. In April 2015, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on $100 million of our outstanding variable rate debt under one of our term loans for which we pay a fixed rate of 0.983% per annum and receive a variable rate equal to floating one-month LIBOR. In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes and repayment of a portion of the Term Loans, we reduced the interest rate swap notional amount to $40 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. On May 3, 2017, we terminated the remaining interest rate swap after further repayment of the Term Loans. During the third quarter of 2017, we paid off the remaining balance of the Term Loans. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would

We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2016 Annual Report.
