Insights

Cross Country Healthcare's Q3 2024 results reveal significant challenges, with revenue declining 29% year-over-year to $315.1 million. The company's profitability metrics show considerable pressure, with net income dropping 80% to $2.6 million and adjusted EBITDA margin contracting to 3.3%.

Key concerns include:

  • Core nurse staffing segment revenue down 33% YoY
  • Gross profit margin compression of 160 basis points to 20.4%
  • Significant decline in average revenue per FTE to $373 from $434
The bright spots are physician staffing growth (10% YoY) and a strong balance sheet with $64 million cash and zero debt. Q4 guidance suggests continued pressure with projected revenue decline of 25-28% YoY.

The healthcare staffing market's normalization is evident in CCRN's results. The decline in revenue per FTE and margins reflects the industry's transition from pandemic-era peaks. However, several positive indicators emerge:

  • Bill rate stabilization signals market equilibrium
  • Rising demand across service lines
  • Strategic contract renewal with largest MSP client
  • Growth in diversified segments (Physician, Homecare, Education)
The company's active share repurchase program ($11.9 million in Q3) and strong cash position suggest management's confidence in long-term prospects despite near-term headwinds.

“Our third quarter results reflect the continued stabilization across our core business as well as the ongoing momentum in our Homecare, Physician, and Education Staffing businesses. Though margins remain under pressure, I am encouraged to see demand for our services continue to rise amidst bill rate stability,” said John A. Martins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Country Healthcare. He continued, “We find ourselves well positioned to capitalize on the market as it normalizes, by leveraging our strong balance sheet to make strategic investments, that we believe will deliver long-term profitability."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This press release and the accompanying financial statement tables reference non-GAAP financial measures, such as gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS. Such non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information and should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures are provided for consistency and comparability to prior year results; furthermore, management believes such non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors when evaluating the Company’s performance, as such non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company’s future operating performance. Pro forma measures, if applicable, are adjusted to include the results of our acquisitions, and exclude the results of divestments, as if the transactions occurred in the beginning of the periods mentioned. Such non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and a more detailed discussion of each financial measure; as such, the financial statement tables should be read in conjunction with the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures.

In addition, forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS for fiscal 2024 exclude potential charges or gains that may be recorded during the fiscal year, including among other things, the potential impact of any future divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations, changes in debt structure, or future significant share repurchases. We have not attempted to provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP earnings guidance to the comparable GAAP measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, because the impact and timing of these potential charges or gains is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of our financial performance.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

In addition to historical information, this press release contains statements relating to our future results (including certain projections and business trends) that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are predictive in nature and/or depend upon or refer to future events. Words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates, suggests, appears, seeks, will, could, and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the overall macroeconomic environment, including increased inflation and interest rates, demand for the healthcare services that we provide, both nationally and in the regions in which we operate, our ability to attract and retain qualified nurses, physicians, and other healthcare personnel, costs and availability of short-term housing for our travel healthcare professionals, the functioning of our information systems, the effect of cyber security risks and cyber incidents on our business, the effect of existing or future government regulation and federal and state legislative and enforcement initiatives on our business, including data privacy and protection laws, social, ethical, and security issues relating to the use of artificial intelligence, our customers ability to pay us for our services, our ability to successfully implement our acquisition and development strategies, including our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and realize synergies from such acquisitions, the effect of liabilities and other claims asserted against us, the effect of competition in the markets we serve, our ability to successfully defend the Company, its subsidiaries, and its officers and directors on the merits of any lawsuit or determine its potential liability, if any, and other factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed and updated in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC. You should consult any further disclosures that the Company makes on related subjects in its filings with the SEC.

Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect managements opinions only as of the date of this press release. There can be no assurance that (i) we have correctly measured or identified all of the factors affecting our business or the extent of these factors likely impact, (ii) the available information with respect to these factors on which such analysis is based is complete or accurate, (iii) such analysis is correct, or (iv) our strategy, which is based in part on this analysis, will be successful.

(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 (benefits) costs, restructuring (benefits) costs, legal and other losses, customer bankruptcy loss, 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 lease termination, gain or loss on sale of business, other expense (income), net, equity compensation, and system conversion costs. Adjusted EBITDA is not and 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 (loss) 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 decrease in income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to a decrease in book income primarily driven by credit loss expense.

(c)

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

(d)
