AMN Healthcare Services (NYSE: AMN) is providing preliminary unaudited consolidated revenue results for the fourth quarter of 2021 to facilitate the Company’s participation in the 40^th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on January 11, 2022. Based on preliminary financial information, the Company expects consolidated revenues for the quarter to be between $1.35 billion and $1.36 billion.

These preliminary results exceeded prior guidance, issued on November 4, 2021, due to strong demand across all revenue segments led by the Nurse and Allied segment and approximately $70 million more labor disruption revenue than included in the guidance. This update is based on management’s initial assessment of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2021. The Company expects to issue full financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2021 in February.

The Company also is raising its fourth quarter 2021 operating margin and adjusted EBITDA margin guidance provided in the November 4, 2021 press release. The Company expects that its fourth quarter 2021 operating margin and adjusted EBITDA margin will be slightly above the high end of its previously provided guidance ranges of 11.8-12.3% and 15.3-15.8%, respectively.

“Healthcare labor shortages are pervasive and expected to persist for some time, highlighting the need for short- and long-term workforce solutions and leading to wage inflation. These influences were even stronger than expected in the fourth quarter of 2021 and are continuing into 2022,” said Susan R. Salka, AMN Chief Executive Officer. “Demand for all of our talent solutions remains near record levels, and we expect first quarter 2022 revenue to be more than $1.1 billion.”

During the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Ms. Salka will give a presentation on January 11, 2022 at 5:15 p.m. PST followed by a question-and-answer session. During the presentation, Ms. Salka will discuss the Company’s recent operational and financial developments and trends.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release contains 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. The non-GAAP financial measure included in this press release is adjusted EBITDA margin. The Company provides adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is 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 margin also serves as an industrywide financial measure. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA margin for making financial decisions, allocating resources and for determining certain incentive compensation objectives. The adjusted EBITDA margin provided in this release is 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be used in isolation to evaluate the Company’s performance. A reconciliation of the adjusted EBITDA guidance identified in this release, along with further detail about the use and limitations of the Company’s non-GAAP measures, may be found in the Company’s press release announcing its third quarter 2021 financial results on November 4, 2021.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the guidance and preliminary projection, which reflect management’s views only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision or update of the preliminary projection or guidance, except as required by law.
