"Market conditions support continued growth, which is bolstered by gains in MSP and other strategic offerings. Key long-term trends remain in our favor and are expected to increase clients' need for innovative workforce solutions. These factors give us confidence that AMN Healthcare can maintain or improve revenue growth in 2018," added Ms. Salka.
Third Quarter 2017 Results
Consolidated revenue for the quarter was $494 million, a 5% increase over prior year and 1% higher than the second quarter of 2017. We estimate that less than $2 million of revenue was lost in the quarter due to disruptions associated with the hurricanes.
Revenue for the Nurse and Allied Solutions segment was $303 million, higher by 6% year over year and up 1% sequentially. The Travel Nurse division continued to perform well, with revenue up 5% year over year and flat sequentially. Allied division revenue increased 6% year over year and was down slightly sequentially.
Locum Tenens Solutions segment revenue was $111 million, up 3% both year-over-year and on a sequential basis. Other Workforce Solutions segment revenue was $80 million, reflecting an increase of 4% year over year and down 1% sequentially, with year-over-year growth driven by the VMS and interim leadership businesses, partially offset by declines in the permanent placement businesses.
Gross margin was 32.3%, lower by 40 basis points year over year and 60 basis points sequentially. The year-over-year gross margin decline was due primarily to higher physician pay rates in Locum Tenens and and lower permanent placement fees. The sequential gross margin decline was driven primarily by higher health insurance costs and lower permanent placement fees.
SG&A expenses were $101 million, or 20.3% of revenue, compared to $100 million, or 21.2% of revenue, in the same quarter last year. Expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased year over year due to improved operating leverage. SG&A was $97 million, or 19.7% of revenue, in the previous quarter, including a $4 million favorable professional liability actuarial adjustment.
Net income was $28 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, compared to $27 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, in the same quarter last year. Excluding amortization of intangible assets, acquisition and integration costs, net of tax, adjusted net income per diluted share was $0.63. Adjusted EBITDA was $62 million, a year-over-year increase of 6%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 12.5%, representing a 20 basis point increase year-over-year and 120 basis point decline on a sequential basis.
At September 30, 2017, cash and cash equivalents totaled $20 million. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017, cash flow from operations was $26 million and capital expenditures were $5 million. The Company ended the quarter with total debt outstanding of $325 million, with a leverage ratio as calculated in accordance with the Company's credit agreement of 1.3 to 1.
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company repurchased 177,143 shares of our common stock at an average price of $38.18 per share, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $7 million. Since the November 2016 inception of our $150 million share repurchase plan, a total of 629,896 shares have been repurchased at an average price of $32.29, with a total of purchase price of $20 million.

On an as-reported basis, the projected year-over-year growth rate is 2-3%. Excluding any labor disruption revenue, the fourth quarter is expected to reflect year-over-year growth of approximately 5%. The hurricanes are expected to have a negative revenue impact of less than $2 million. The expected sequential decrease in gross margin reflects the normal seasonal margin decline in the Nurse and Allied segment and an unfavorable segment mix shift. Travel Nurse Staffing, our largest business, is expected to grow revenue 6-7% year over year with strong sequential growth of 4-5%.

(1) |
Operating margin represents income from operations divided by revenue. |
|
(2) |
Segment operating income represents net income plus interest expense (net of interest income) and other, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, unallocated corporate overhead, acquisition and integration costs and share-based compensation. |
|
(3) |
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income plus interest expense (net of interest income) and other, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition and integration costs and share-based compensation. 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 and is a measure used in the Company's credit agreement and the indenture governing our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor has it been presented as an alternative to income from operations or net income 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, and management therefore utilizes adjusted EBITDA as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as net income. |

Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. |

(5) |
The consolidated effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was favorably affected by the recording of excess tax benefits relating to equity awards vested and exercised during the period. As a result of the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement on January 1, 2017, we no longer record excess tax benefits as an increase to additional paid-in capital, but record such excess tax benefits on a prospective basis as a reduction of income tax expense, which amounted to $56,000 and $5,381,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Since the majority of our equity awards vest during the first quarter of the year, we do not anticipate the recording of additional excess tax benefits of this magnitude for the reminder of the year. The magnitude of the impact of excess tax benefits generated in the future, which may be favorable or unfavorable, is dependent upon the Company's future grants of share-based compensation, the Company's future stock price on the date awards vest or exercise in relation to the fair value of the awards on the grant date or the exercise behavior of the Company's stock appreciation rights holders. Since these favorable tax benefits are largely unrelated to our current year's income before taxes and is unrepresentative of our normal effective tax rate, we excluded their impact on adjusted diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. |

(6) |
Adjusted diluted EPS represents GAAP diluted EPS excluding the impact of (A) amortization of intangible assets, (B) acquisition and integration costs, (C) tax effect, if any, of the foregoing adjustments, and (D) excess tax benefits relating to equity awards vested and exercised since January 1, 2017. 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 from adjusted diluted EPS). Although management believes the items excluded from adjusted diluted EPS are not indicative of the Company's operating performance, these items do impact the statement of comprehensive income, and management therefore utilizes adjusted diluted EPS as an operating performance measure in conjunction with GAAP measures such as GAAP diluted EPS. |
