Business Highlights

  • Highest revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in Company history
  • Record number of professionals on assignment
  • Year-over-year and sequential growth across all lines of business
  • First quarter financial performance exceeded all guidance ranges
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin of 12.3%
  • Doubled the asset-based credit facility to $300 million as a cost effective source of liquidity

“Our historic revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance in the first quarter of 2022 reflects the tremendous success we have had in helping healthcare facilities navigate a challenging workforce environment. As we transition into a post-COVID world, we anticipate ongoing increases in the number of professionals on assignment by continuing to partner with our clients and clinicians to address short- and long-term talent management needs,” said John Martins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Country Healthcare. He continued, “We believe that our investments in people and technology are providing the foundation for the next steps in our evolution as a tech-enabled workforce solutions company.”

First quarter consolidated revenue was $788.7 million, an increase of 140% year-over-year and 23% sequentially. Consolidated gross profit margin was 22.2%, up 50 basis points year-over-year and down 80 basis points sequentially. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $62.0 million compared to $19.4 million in the prior year and $77.6 million in the prior quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $1.63 compared to $0.53 in the prior year and $2.07 in the prior quarter. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was $97.4 million or 12.3% of revenue, as compared with $26.7 million or 8.1% of revenue in the prior year, and $80.9 million or 12.6% of revenue in the prior quarter. Adjusted EPS was $1.70 compared to $0.58 in the prior year and $1.40 in the prior quarter.

Quarterly Business Segment Highlights

Nurse and Allied Staffing

Revenue was $765.6 million, an increase of 145% year-over-year and 23% sequentially. Contribution income was $110.1 million, an increase compared to $37.4 million in the prior year and $92.4 million in the prior quarter. Average field contract personnel on a full-time equivalent (FTE) basis were 13,454 as compared with 6,614 in the prior year and 11,520 in the prior quarter. Revenue per FTE per day was $628 compared to $522 in the prior year and $582 in the prior quarter. The increase in the average number of FTEs was primarily due to headcount growth in travel nurse and allied, as well as the year-over-year additional headcount resulting from the Workforce Solutions Group (WSG) acquisition. In the first quarter of 2022, average bill rates rose slightly as we continued to experience high demand across a wide range of specialties spanning the healthcare continuum. However, it was the spike in professionals on assignment and volume growth that primarily drove the year-over-year and sequential revenue improvement.

Physician Staffing

Revenue was $23.2 million, an increase of 43% year-over-year and 14% sequentially. Contribution income was $1.8 million, an increase compared to $1.4 million in both the prior year and prior quarter. Total days filled were 13,068 as compared with 9,469 in the prior year and 12,739 in the prior quarter. Revenue per day filled was $1,772 as compared with $1,714 in the prior year and $1,588 in the prior quarter. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in volume in primary care physicians and certified registered nurse anesthetists. The increase in contribution income was driven by higher revenue, partially offset by higher direct costs.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

Cash flow used in operations for the quarter was $29.0 million, primarily due to the investment in net working capital associated with the continued growth in our business, with accounts receivable increasing $186.7 million this quarter. Days' sales outstanding was 62 days as of March 31, 2022, up 6 days year-over-year and up 4 days sequentially, primarily due to the timing of revenue recognized throughout the quarter given the monthly sequential growth through the first quarter.

On March 21, 2022, the Company amended its asset-based loan (ABL) Credit Agreement, which increased the aggregate committed size of the facility from $150.0 million to $300.0 million and extended the credit facility for an additional five years.

At March 31, 2022, the Company had $1.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and $173.9 million principal balance on its term loan, with $51.5 million of borrowings drawn under its ABL facility, and $17.5 million of letters of credit outstanding. As of March 31, 2022, borrowing base availability under the ABL was $300.0 million, with $231.0 million of excess availability.

The above estimates are based on current management expectations and, as such, are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. The above ranges do not include the potential impact of any future divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations, changes in debt structure, or future significant share repurchases.

For the second quarter of 2022, average travel bill rates are anticipated to experience a high single to low double-digit decline sequentially. However, revenue guidance assumes volume growth across all lines of business. Looking beyond the second quarter, we anticipate further market share gains despite potential headwinds from changing bill rates or demand from certain specialties. We remain committed to investing in our people and our tech-enabled digital platform by doubling our IT project budget for 2022.

(a)

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, acquisition and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements and fees, impairment charges, gain or loss on derivative, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets, gain or loss on sale of business, other expense (income), net, equity compensation, and applicant tracking system costs. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Management presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income attributable to common stockholders as an indicator of operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes and as one performance measure in its incentive programs for certain members of its management team. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, closely matches the operating measure as defined by the Company's credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by the Company's consolidated revenue.

(b)

The release of the majority of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021 resulted in an income tax benefit of $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

(c)

Acquisition and integration-related costs primarily include costs for legal and professional fees for the Selected, Inc. acquisition that closed late in the fourth quarter of 2021.

(d)

Restructuring costs are primarily comprised of employee termination costs, lease-related exit costs, and reorganization costs as part of planned cost savings initiatives.

(e)

Legal settlements and fees include legal settlement charges as presented on the consolidated statements of operations as well as legal fees pertaining to non-operational legal matters outside the normal course of operations which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred legal fees related to various legal matters outside the normal course of operations.

(f)

Impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were comprised of $1.7 million related to right-of-use assets and related property in connection with leases that were vacated.

(g)

Applicant tracking system costs are related to the Company's project to replace its legacy system supporting its travel nurse staffing business. These costs are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations and included in corporate overhead in segment data.

(h)

Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders per diluted share before the diluted EPS impact of acquisition and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements and fees, impairment charges, gain or loss on derivative, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on sale of business, applicant tracking system costs, and nonrecurring income tax adjustments. Adjusted EPS should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Management presents Adjusted EPS because it believes that Adjusted EPS is a useful supplement to its reported EPS as an indicator of operating performance. Management believes it provides a more useful comparison of the Company's underlying business performance from period to period and is more representative of the future earnings capacity of the Company.

(i)

Non-recurring income tax adjustment for the three months ended December 31, 2021 reflects the reversal of the majority of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

(j)

Segment data provided is in accordance with the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC.

(k)

Contribution income is defined as income (loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization, acquisition and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, legal settlement charges, impairment charges, and corporate overhead. Contribution income is a financial measure used by management when assessing segment performance.

(l)

Corporate overhead includes unallocated executive leadership and other centralized corporate functional support costs such as finance, IT, legal, human resources, and marketing, as well as public company expenses and corporate-wide projects (initiatives).

(m)

Gross profit is defined as revenue from services less direct operating expenses. The Company's gross profit excludes allocated depreciation and amortization expense. Gross profit margin is calculated by dividing gross profit by revenue from services.

(n)

FTEs represent the average number of Nurse and Allied Staffing contract personnel on a full-time equivalent basis.

(o)

Average revenue per FTE per day is calculated by dividing Nurse and Allied Staffing revenue, excluding permanent placement, per FTE by the number of days worked in the respective periods.

(p)

Days filled is calculated by dividing the total hours invoiced during the period, including an estimate for the impact of accrued revenue, by 8 hours.

(q)

Revenue per day filled is calculated by dividing revenue as reported by days filled for the period presented.
