NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
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:
• | The Company recorded $56 and $5,381 of tax benefits within income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, related to the excess tax benefit on share-based compensation. Prior to adoption, this amount would have been recorded as additional paid-in capital; |
• | The Company continued to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited in accordance with its existing accounting policy, which is to estimate forfeitures when recording share-based compensation expense; |
• | The Company excluded the excess tax benefits from the assumed proceeds available to repurchase shares in the computation of its diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The effect of this change on its diluted earnings per share was not significant; and |
• | For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cash flows related to excess tax benefits were classified as an operating activity. |
There were no other material impacts to the Company's consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting this updated standard.

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.
Peak Provider Solutions Acquisition
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 has 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.
HealthSource Global Staffing Acquisition
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 has 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.
B.E. Smith Acquisition
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
Revenue consists of fees earned from the temporary and permanent placement of healthcare professionals and executives as well as from the Company’s SaaS-based technology, including its vendor management systems and its scheduling software. Revenue from temporary staffing services is recognized as the services are rendered by the healthcare professional or executive. Under the Company’s managed services program arrangements, the Company manages all or a part of a customer’s supplemental workforce needs utilizing its own pool of healthcare professionals along with those of third-party subcontractors. When the Company uses subcontractors, revenue is recorded net of the related subcontractor’s expense. Payables to subcontractors of $38,167 and $51,973 were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 and the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, respectively. Revenue from recruitment and permanent placement services is recognized as the services are provided and upon successful placements. The Company’s SaaS-based revenue is recognized ratably over the applicable arrangement’s service period. Fees billed in advance of being earned are recorded as deferred revenue.
4. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively:
Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||||||||||
2017 | 2016 | 2017 | 2016 | ||||||||||||
Net income | $ | 28,128 | $ | 27,296 | $ | 91,391 | $ | 79,487 | |||||||
Net income per common share - basic | $ | 0.59 | $ | 0.57 | $ | 1.91 | $ | 1.66 | |||||||
Net income per common share - diluted | $ | 0.57 | $ | 0.55 | $ | 1.85 | $ | 1.61 | |||||||
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic | 47,912 | 48,049 | 47,870 | 47,993 | |||||||||||
Plus dilutive effect of potential common shares | 1,533 | 1,361 | 1,610 | 1,294 | |||||||||||
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted | 49,445 | 49,410 | 49,480 | 49,287 |
Share-based awards to purchase 10 and 14 shares of common stock were not included in the above calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, because the effect of these instruments was anti-dilutive. Share-based awards to purchase 11 and 18 shares of common stock were not included in the above calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 because the effect of these instruments was anti-dilutive.
5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
7
The Company has three reportable segments: nurse and allied solutions, locum tenens solutions, and other workforce solutions.
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.

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 nine months ended September 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
typically consist of money market funds that are measured at fair value based on quoted prices, which are Level 1 inputs.
8
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 $28,538 commercial paper issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017, $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:

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 nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
10
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of the Company’s senior notes approximate their fair values. The senior notes were issued in October 2016 and have a fixed rate of 5.125%. 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.
7. INCOME TAXES
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, as of September 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 negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, or other new information, as deemed necessary. The most significant
11
matters for which the Company has established loss contingencies are class actions related to wage and hour claims. Management currently believes the probable loss related to these wage and hour claims is not material and the amount accrued by the Company for such claims is not material as of September 30, 2017. However, losses ultimately incurred for such claims could materially differ from amounts already accrued by the Company.
With regards to outstanding loss contingencies as of September 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 17, 2017 (“2016 Annual Report”). Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are “forward-looking statements.” See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We undertake no obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. References in this Quarterly Report to “AMN Healthcare,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Overview of Our Business
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.
We conduct business through three reportable segments: (1) nurse and allied solutions, (2) locum tenens solutions, and (3) other workforce solutions. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded revenue of $494.4 million, as compared to $472.6 million for the same period last year. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded net income of $28.1 million, as compared to $27.3 million for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded revenue of $1,479.4 million, as compared to $1,414.4 million for the same period last year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded net income of $91.4 million, as compared to $79.5 million for the same period last year.
Nurse and allied solutions segment revenue comprised 62% of total consolidated revenue for both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Through our nurse and allied solutions segment, we provide hospitals and other healthcare facilities with a comprehensive managed services solution in which we manage and staff all of the temporary nursing and allied staffing needs of a client and traditional clinical staffing solutions of variable assignment lengths.
Locum tenens solutions revenue comprised 22% and 23% of total consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 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 nine months ended September 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.
14
Recent Trends
Demand for our temporary and permanent placement staffing services is driven in part by U.S. economic and labor trends. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ survey data reflect near record levels of healthcare job openings and quits, which we view as positive trends for the healthcare staffing industry. At the same time, the entire healthcare industry continues to face uncertainty related to the potential dismantling, or significant change to certain aspects of, the Affordable Care Act, which could impact the reimbursements upon which our clients depend. The uncertainty has impacted the utilization of healthcare services and demand for our services.
We continue to see the benefits of our workforce solutions strategy, particularly with our managed services programs. As a result of our ongoing focus on these strategic relationships, we continue to increase the percentage of our nurse and allied revenue derived from our managed services program clients.
In our locum tenens solutions segment, we have seen a decline in demand in certain specialties such as hospitalists that has negatively impacted our volumes and, as a result, revenue in this segment. In addition, we made organizational and leadership changes in this business and are making operational changes to improve performance. We are beginning to see the positive impact of these changes and improving demand in most specialties.
In our other workforce solutions segment, our interim leadership and vendor management systems businesses are growing. We are experiencing declines in our permanent placement businesses that we believe are primarily related to operational execution and are making organizational changes designed to improve our performance.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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.

Results of Operations
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations data as a percentage of revenue. Our results of operations include three reportable segments: (1) nurse and allied solutions, (2) locum tenens solutions, and (3) other workforce solutions. The Peak acquisition impacts the comparability of the results between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations.

Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016
Revenue. Revenue increased 5% to $494.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $472.6 million for the same period in 2016, all of which was organic growth.
Nurse and allied solutions segment revenue increased 6% to $302.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $286.8 million for the same period in 2016. The $16.1 million increase was primarily attributable to a 4% increase in the average number of healthcare professionals on assignment and a 2% increase in the average bill rate during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Locum tenens solutions segment revenue increased 3% to $111.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $108.6 million for the same period in 2016. The $2.8 million increase was primarily attributable to a 4% increase in the revenue per day filled during the three months ended September 30, 2017, partially offset by a 1% decrease in the number of days filled.
Other workforce solutions segment revenue increased 4% to $80.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $77.3 million for the same period in 2016. The $2.8 million increase was primarily attributable to growth in our VMS and interim leadership businesses, partially offset by declines in our permanent placement businesses during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 3% to $159.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $154.5 million for the same period in 2016, representing gross margins of 32.3% and 32.7%, respectively. The decrease in consolidated gross margin was due to an unfavorable change in sales mix, higher insurance costs in our other workforce solutions segment and lower bill-pay spreads in the locum tenens solutions segment, partially offset by a higher gross margin in the nurse and allied solutions segment driven primarily by lower direct costs during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Gross margin by reportable segment for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 27.3% and 26.7% for nurse and allied solutions, 30.1% and 31.2% for locum tenens solutions, and 54.1% and 56.7% for other workforce solutions, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $100.6 million, representing 20.3% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $100.0 million, representing 21.2% of revenue, for the same period in 2016. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher bad debt expense partially offset by operating leverage on the higher revenue and lower acquisition and integration costs as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in unallocated corporate overhead was primarily attributable to lower
16
acquisition and integration costs and employee compensation expenses. SG&A expenses broken down among the reportable segments, unallocated corporate overhead, and share-based compensation are as follows:
(In Thousands) Three Months Ended September 30, | |||||||
2017 | 2016 | ||||||
Nurse and allied solutions | $ | 41,884 | $ | 39,312 | |||
Locum tenens solutions | 19,075 | 19,881 | |||||

Unallocated corporate overhead | 13,698 | 15,113 | |||||
Share-based compensation | 2,477 | 2,704 | |||||
$ | 100,579 | $ | 99,995 |
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Amortization expense decreased slightly to $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $4.8 million for the same period in 2016. Depreciation expense increased 13% to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $3.0 million for the same period in 2016, primarily attributable to an increase in purchased and developed hardware and software placed in service for our ongoing front and back office information technology initiatives.
Interest Expense, Net, and Other. Interest expense, net, and other, was $4.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher interest bearing Notes (as defined below) for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the term loans and revolver in the same period last year.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $17.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to income tax expense of $16.4 million for the same period in 2016, reflecting effective income tax rates of 39% and 37% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The difference in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the relationship of pre-tax income to permanent differences related to unrecognized tax benefits. We currently estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 38% for 2017.
Comparison of Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016
Revenue. Revenue increased 5% to $1,479.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $1,414.4 million for the same period in 2016, due to additional revenue of $12.4 million resulting from our Peak acquisition in June 2016 with the remainder of the increase driven by 4% organic growth.
Nurse and allied solutions segment revenue increased 5% to $917.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $877.2 million for the same period in 2016. The $40.0 million increase was primarily attributable to a 5% increase in the average number of healthcare professionals on assignment and a 3% increase in the average bill rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was partially offset by an approximately $28.0 million decrease in labor disruption revenue and the impact of one less calendar day due to last year being a leap year.
Locum tenens solutions segment revenue was $322.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $320.4 million for the same period in 2016. The $2.1 million increase was primarily attributable to a 4% increase in the revenue per day filled during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, partially offset by a 3% decrease in the number of days filled.
Other workforce solutions segment revenue increased 11% to $239.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $216.8 million for the same period in 2016. Of the $22.9 million increase, $12.4 million was attributable to the additional revenue in connection with the Peak acquisition in June 2016 with the remainder primarily attributable to growth in our VMS, interim leadership, and workforce optimization businesses, partially offset by declines in our permanent placement and recruitment process outsourcing businesses during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 5% to $482.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $461.1 million for the same period in 2016, representing gross margins of 32.6% for both periods. Consolidated gross margin was consistent with the prior year primarily due to a higher gross margin in the nurse and allied solutions segment driven primarily by lower direct costs, offset by lower bill-pay spreads in the locum tenens solutions segment and an unfavorable change in sales mix in our other workforce solutions segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Gross margin by reportable segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 27.6% and 26.7% for nurse and allied soluti
17
ons, 30.2% and 31.2% for locum tenens solutions, and 54.9% and 58.6% for other workforce solutions, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses were $299.3 million, representing 20.2% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $297.4 million, representing 21.0% of revenue, for the same period in 2016. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to $1.9 million of additional SG&A expenses from the Peak acquisition and other expenses associated with our revenue growth, offset by an additional $2.0 million favorable actuarial-based decrease in our professional liability reserves and $2.1 million decrease in acquisition and integration costs as compared to the same period last year. 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 Thousands) Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||
2017 | 2016 | ||||||
Nurse and allied solutions | $ | 118,464 | $ | 115,755 | |||
Locum tenens solutions | 58,507 | 56,247 | |||||
Other workforce solutions | 69,902 | 70,654 | |||||
Unallocated corporate overhead | 44,732 | 45,908 | |||||
Share-based compensation | 7,720 | 8,795 | |||||
$ | 299,325 | $ | 297,359 |
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Amortization expense increased 2% to $13.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $13.6 million for the same period in 2016, primarily attributable to additional amortization expense related to the intangible assets acquired in the Peak acquisition. Depreciation expense increased 18% to $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $8.3 million for the same period in 2016, primarily attributable to fixed assets acquired as part of the Peak acquisition and an increase in purchased and developed hardware and software placed in service for our ongoing front and back office information technology initiatives.
Interest Expense, Net, and Other. Interest expense, net, and other, was $14.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $9.1 million for the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily due to higher interest bearing Notes (as defined below) for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the term loans and revolver in the same period last year.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $53.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to income tax expense of $53.3 million for the same period in 2016, reflecting effective income tax rates of 37% and 40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The difference in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the relationship of pre-tax income to permanent differences related to unrecognized tax benefits and excess tax benefit from the adoption of ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” in the first quarter of 2017, which resulted in recording a $5.4 million reduction in income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Prior to adoption, this amount would have been recorded as additional paid-in capital. 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 remainder of the year. This change could create future volatility in our effective tax rate depending upon the amount of exercise or vesting activity from our share-based awards. See additional information in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1 “Basis of Presentation.” Including the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09, we currently estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 38% for 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In summary, our cash flows were:
(In Thousands) Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||
2017 | 2016 | ||||||
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 96,382 | $ | 84,820 | |||
Net cash used in investing activities | (23,444 | ) | (241,271 | ) | |||
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | (63,824 | ) | 162,418 |
Historically, our primary liquidity requirements have been for acquisitions, working capital requirements, and debt service under our credit facilities and the Notes. We have funded these requirements through internally generated cash flow and funds borrowed under our credit facilities. During the third quarter of 2017, we paid off the remaining balance of our term debt. As of September 30, 2017, zero was drawn from $258.8 million of available credit under the revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and the aggregate principal amount of our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) outstanding equaled $325.0 million. We describe in further detail our amended credit agreement, under which our term loan and Revolver are governed, and the Notes 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 on Form 10-K.
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.
We believe that cash generated from operations and available borrowings under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next year. We intend to finance potential future acquisitions either with cash provided from operations, borrowings under the Revolver, bank loans, debt or equity offerings, or some combination of the foregoing. The following discussion provides further details of our liquidity and capital resources.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $96.4 million, compared to $84.8 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to (1) improved operating results, (2) a decrease in accounts receivable and subcontractor receivable between periods due to timing of collections, and (3) excess tax benefits on the vesting of employee equity awards resulting from the adoption of a new accounting pronouncement discussed in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note (1), “Basis of Presentation.” The overall increase was partially offset by (1) a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses between periods due to timing of payments, (2) additional cash paid for income taxes during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period last year, and (3) an increase in the cash, cash equivalents and investments attributable to cash payments made to our captive insurance entity, which are restricted for use by the captive for future claim payments and, to a lesser extent, its working capital needs. Our Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) was 64 days at each of September 30, 2017, December 31, 2016, and September 30, 2016.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $23.4 million, compared to $241.3 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily due to (1) no cash paid for acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $216.6 million used for acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and (2) net $6.2 million restricted investment proceeds related to our captive insurance entity during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The overall decrease was partially offset by (1) a $2.0 million equity investment and (2) $10.1 million of payments to fund the deferred compensation plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $5.7 million of payments during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Capital expenditures were $17.2 million and $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
19
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $63.8 million, primarily due to (1) the repayment of $44.1 million under our term loans, (2) $3.7 million for acquisition contingent consideration earn-out payments, (3) $7.1 million paid in connection with the repurchase of our common stock, and (4) $9.1 million in cash paid for shares withheld for payroll taxes resulting from the vesting of employee equity awards. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $162.4 million, primarily due to borrowings of $124.0 million under the Revolver and $75.0 million of borrowings under a new term loan under our amended credit agreement to fund our BES and HSG acquisitions, partially offset by (1) the repayment of $8.4 million under our term loans and $24.0 million under the Revolver, and (2) $5.6 million cash paid for shares withheld for payroll taxes resulting from the vesting of employee equity awards.
Letters of Credit
At September 30, 2017, we maintained outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $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 $20.2 million of outstanding letters of credit, we have collateralized $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.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At September 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.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to the table entitled “Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our 2016 Annual Report that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 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 voted to amend the guidance by approving a one-year delay in the effective date of the new standard to 2018. In addition, the FASB has also issued several amendments to the standard which clarify certain aspects of the guidance, including principal versus agent consideration and identifying performance obligations. We expect to complete our evaluation of the impact of the accounting and disclosure requirements on our consolidated financial statements, business processes, controls and systems during the fourth quarter of 2017. This includes reviewing current accounting policies and practices to identify potential impact of the accounting and disclosure requirements on our business processes, controls and system. The extent of the impact of the adoption of this new standard is subject to the completion of our assessment by the end of 2017. We will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2018, and apply the modified retrospective approach.
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
20
after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, and requires a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating the timing of this new standard’s adoption and the effect that adopting it will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” The standard requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The amendment will be adopted retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the timing of this new standard’s adoption and the effect that adopting it will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
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.
There have been no other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that are expected to materially affect our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We base these forward-looking statements on our expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about future events and about the industry in which we operate. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “project,” “may,” variations of such words, and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of financial items, anticipated growth, future growth and revenues, future economic conditions and performance, plans, objectives and strategies for future operations, expectations, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are set forth in our 2016 Annual Report and include but are not limited to:
• | the effects of economic downturns or slow recoveries, which could result in less demand for our services and pricing pressures; |
• | the negative effects that intermediary organizations may have on our ability to secure new and profitable contracts with our clients; |
• | the level of consolidation and concentration of buyers of healthcare workforce solutions and staffing services, which could affect the pricing of our services and our ability to mitigate concentration risk; |
• | any inability on our part to anticipate and quickly respond to changing marketplace conditions, such as alternative modes of healthcare delivery, reimbursement, or client needs; |
• | the ability of our clients to retain and increase the productivity of their permanent staff, or their ability to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their internal recruiting efforts, through online recruiting or otherwise, which may negatively affect our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows; |
• | the uncertainty regarding the dismantling of certain aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that may significantly reduce the number of individuals who maintain health insurance or reduce the subsidies and reimbursements to our clients, which, in turn, may negatively affect the demand for our services; |
21
• | any inability on our part to grow and operate our business profitably in compliance with federal and state healthcare industry regulation, including conduct of operations, costs and payment for services and payment for referrals as well as laws regarding employment practices and government contracting; |
• | any challenge to the classification of certain of our healthcare professionals as independent contractors, which could adversely affect our profitability; |
• | the effect of investigations, claims, and legal proceedings alleging medical malpractice, violation of employment and wage regulations and other legal theories of liability asserted against us, which could subject us to substantial liabilities; |
• | security breaches and other disruptions that could compromise our information and expose us to liability, which could cause our business and reputation to suffer and could subject us to substantial liabilities; |
• | any inability on our part to implement new infrastructure and technology systems effectively or technology disruptions, either of which may adversely affect our operating results and our ability to manage our business effectively; |
• | disruption to or failures of our SaaS-based technology within certain of our service offerings or our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights with respect to such technology, which could reduce client satisfaction, harm our reputation, and negatively affect our business; |
• | our dependence on third parties for the execution of certain critical functions; |
• | cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents, which could adversely affect our business or disrupt our operations; |
• | any inability on our part to recruit and retain sufficient quality healthcare professionals at reasonable costs; |
• | any inability on our part to properly screen and match quality healthcare professionals with suitable placements; |
• | any inability on our part to successfully attract, develop and retain a sufficient number of quality sales and operations personnel; |
• | the loss of our key officers and management personnel, which could adversely affect our business and operating results; |
• | any inability on our part to maintain our positive brand awareness and identity; |
• | any inability on our part to consummate and effectively incorporate acquisitions into our business operations; |
• | any recognition by us of an impairment to goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles; |
• | the effect of significant adverse adjustments by us to our insurance-related accruals, which could decrease our earnings or increase our losses, as the case may be; |
• | our significant indebtedness and any inability on our part to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt; and |
• | the terms of our debt instruments that impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to successfully operate our business. |
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
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 nine months ended September 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
22
not have resulted in a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we generated substantially all of our revenue in the United States. Accordingly, we believe that our foreign currency risk is immaterial.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
