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 (“U.S. GAAP”). Please refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2020 (“2019 Annual Report”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 intangible assets purchased in a business combination, 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.
Coronavirus Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, a global pandemic. Due to the pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and significant volatility of financial markets. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic, which continues to evolve, and its effects and risks on our operations, liquidity, financial condition and financial results for the full year 2020 and, possibly, beyond.
The estimates used for, but not limited to, determining the collectability of accounts receivable, fair value of long-lived assets, and goodwill could be impacted by the pandemic. While the full impact of COVID-19, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, remains unknown, the Company has made appropriate estimates based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date. Specifically, the Company continues to monitor the impacts of the pandemic on its customers’ liquidity and capital resources and, therefore, the Company’s ability to collect, or the timeliness of collection of accounts receivable. The impact of COVID-19 did not have a material effect on the Company’s estimates as of June 30, 2020. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. See additional information below regarding the allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The FASB also issued a series of other ASUs, which update ASU 2016-13 (collectively, the “credit loss standard”). This new standard introduces new accounting models for determining and recognizing credit losses on certain financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings of $1,154, net of tax, primarily related to its allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable. Prior period amounts are not retrospectively adjusted. The impact of the adoption of the new standard was not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company expects the impact to be immaterial on an ongoing basis. See additional information below regarding the allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable.
6


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “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. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The standard modifies the current disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020. Refer to information regarding fair value measurements in Note (7), “Fair Value Measurement.”
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include currency on hand, deposits with financial institutions and highly liquid investments. Restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily represent cash and money market funds on deposit with financial institutions and investments represents commercial paper that serves as collateral for the Company’s outstanding letters of credit and captive insurance subsidiary claim payments. See Note (7), “Fair Value Measurement” for additional information.
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and related notes to the amounts presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable

The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount. Accounts receivable are non-interest bearing. The Company maintains an allowance for expected credit losses based on the Company’s historical write-off experience, an assessment of its customers’ financial conditions and available information that is relevant to assessing the collectability of cash flows, which includes current conditions and forecasts about future economic conditions.
The following table provides a reconciliation of activity in the allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable:

Balance as of June 30,$8,532  
Reclassification
The Company reclassified its allowance for accounts receivable in the prior year’s consolidated balance sheet to conform to the current year presentation. The prior year’s balance of accounts receivable (net of allowances) remains unchanged.

2. ACQUISITIONS
As set forth below, the Company completed four acquisitions from January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. 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. Since the applicable date of acquisition, the Company has revised the allocation of the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on analysis of information that has been made available through June 30, 2020. The allocations will continue to be updated through the measurement period, if necessary. The Company recognizes acquisition-related costs in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Stratus Video Acquisition
On February 14, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Stratus Video, a remote video interpreting company that provides healthcare interpretation via remote video, over the phone, and onsite in-person, all supported by proprietary technology platforms. The initial purchase price of $485,568 consisted entirely of cash consideration paid upon acquisition. The acquisition was funded primarily through (1) borrowings under the Company’s $400,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”), provided for under a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), and (2) the Second Amendment (as defined in Note (6) below) to the New Credit Agreement, which provided $250,000 of additional available borrowings to the Company. The New Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment are more fully described in Note (6), “Notes Payable and Credit Agreement.” The results of Stratus Video have been included in the Company’s technology and workforce solutions segment since the date of acquisition. During the second quarter of 2020, an additional $99 of cash consideration was paid to the selling shareholders for the final working capital settlement. The Company incurred $9,525 of acquisition-related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as a result of its acquisition of Stratus Video.
The preliminary allocation of the $485,667 purchase price, which included the additional cash consideration paid for the final working capital settlement, consisted of (1) $45,044 of fair value of tangible assets acquired, which included $9,176 cash received, (2) $61,937 of liabilities assumed, (3) $228,000 of identified intangible assets, and (4) $274,560 of goodwill, of which $10,186 is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The provisional items pending finalization are the valuation of the acquired intangible assets and income tax related matters. The intangible assets acquired have a weighted average useful life of approximately seventeen years. The following table summarizes the fair value and useful life of each intangible asset acquired:

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue primarily consists of fees earned from the temporary staffing and permanent placement of healthcare professionals, executives, and leaders (clinical and operational). The Company also generates revenue from its software as a service (“SaaS”)-based technologies, including vendor management systems and scheduling software, and outsourced workforce services, including language interpretation and recruitment process outsourcing. Revenue is recognized when control of these services is transferred to the customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Revenue from temporary staffing services is recognized as the services are rendered by clinical and non-clinical healthcare professionals. Under the Company’s managed services program (“MSP”) arrangements, the Company manages all or a part of a customer’s supplemental workforce needs utilizing its own network of healthcare professionals along with those of third-party subcontractors. Revenue and the related direct costs under MSP arrangements are recorded in accordance with the accounting guidance on reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent. When the Company uses subcontractors and acts as an agent, revenue is recorded net of the related subcontractor’s expense. Revenue from permanent placement and outsourced workforce services is recognized as the services are rendered. Depending on the arrangement, the Company’s SaaS-based revenue is recognized either as the services are rendered or ratably over the applicable arrangement’s service period.
The Company’s customers are primarily billed as services are rendered. Any fees billed in advance of being earned are recorded as deferred revenue. While payment terms vary by the type of customer and the services rendered, the term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, previously deferred revenue recognized as revenue was $10,371 and $8,641, respectively.
The Company has elected to apply the following practical expedients and optional exemptions related to contract costs and revenue recognition:
Recognize incremental costs of obtaining a contract with amortization periods of one year or less as expense when incurred. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses.
Recognize revenue in the amount of consideration to which the Company has a right to invoice the customer if that amount corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the Company’s services completed to date.
Exemptions from disclosing the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) contracts for which revenue is recognized in the amount of consideration to which the Company has a right to invoice for services performed and (iii) contracts for which variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation.
See Note (5), “Segment Information” for additional information.

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:
 Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,
 2020201920202019
Net income$22,325  $28,869  $35,290  $62,991  
Net income per common share - basic $0.47  $0.62  $0.74  $1.35  
Net income per common share - diluted $0.47  $0.61  $0.74  $1.32  
Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic47,383  46,644  47,371  46,713  
Plus dilutive effect of potential common shares179  780  252  884  
Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted47,562  47,424  47,623  47,597  
Share-based awards to purchase 189 and 62 shares of common stock were not included in the above calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, because the effect of these instruments was anti-dilutive. Share-based awards to purchase 66 and 66 shares of common stock were not included in the above calculation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, because the effect of these instruments was anti-dilutive.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s operating segments are identified in the same manner as they are reported internally and used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for the purpose of evaluating performance and allocating resources. Effective March 8, 2020, the Company modified its reportable segments. The Company previously utilized three reportable segments, which it identified as follows: (1) nurse and allied solutions, (2) locum tenens solutions, and (3) other workforce solutions. In light of the Company’s recent acquisitions and organizational changes to better align its organizational structure with its strategy and operations, the Company’s management reorganized its reportable segments to better reflect how the business is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, the Company has disclosed the following three reportable segments: (1) nurse and allied solutions, (2) physician and leadership solutions, and (3) technology and workforce solutions. The nurse and allied solutions segment includes the Company’s travel nurse staffing, rapid response nurse staffing and labor disruption, allied staffing, local staffing, and revenue cycle solutions businesses. The physician and leadership solutions segment includes the Company’s locum tenens staffing, healthcare interim leadership staffing, executive search, and physician permanent placement businesses. The technology and workforce solutions segment includes the Company’s language interpretation services, vendor management systems, workforce optimization, recruitment process outsourcing, credentialing, and flex pool management businesses.
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. The Company’s management does not evaluate, manage or measure performance of segments using asset information; accordingly, asset information by segment is not prepared or disclosed.

The following table, which includes reclassified prior period data to conform to the new segment reporting structure, provides a reconciliation of revenue and operating income by reportable segment to consolidated results and was derived from each segment’s internal financial information as used for corporate management purposes:

In connection with the reorganization of its reportable segments effective March 8, 2020, the Company reassigned the goodwill balances to the reporting units, the composition of which changed under the reorganized reportable segments, using the relative fair value reallocation approach. The Company performed a goodwill impairment test at the reporting unit level both immediately before and after the reorganization. The Company determined the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income approach (using discounted future cash flows) and the market valuation approach. Based on the results of this testing, the Company determined that the fair values of its reporting units were each greater than their respective carrying values both before and after the reorganization. Therefore, there was no impairment loss recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

6. NOTES PAYABLE AND CREDIT AGREEMENT

On February 9, 2018, the Company entered into the New Credit Agreement with several lenders to provide for the $400,000 Senior Credit Facility to replace its then-existing credit facilities. The Senior Credit Facility includes a $50,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $50,000 sublimit for swingline loans. On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into the first amendment to the New Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to provide for, among other things, a $150,000 secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan”). The Company used the proceeds from the Term Loan, together with a drawdown of a portion of the Senior Credit Facility, to complete its acquisition of Advanced, as more fully described in Note (2), “Acquisitions.” The Company fully repaid all amounts under the Term Loan in 2019.

On February 14, 2020, the Company entered into the second amendment to the New Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to provide for, among other things, a $250,000 secured term loan credit facility (the “Additional Term Loan”). The Second Amendment (together with the New Credit Agreement and the First Amendment, collectively, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) extended the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility to be coterminous with the Additional Term Loan. The obligations of the Company under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Company used the proceeds from the Additional Term Loan, together with a drawdown of a portion of the Senior Credit Facility, to complete its acquisition of Stratus Video as more fully described in Note (2), “Acquisitions.”

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and the Additional Term Loan (together, the “Credit Facilities”) bear interest at floating rates, at the Company’s option, based upon either LIBOR plus a spread of 1.00% to 1.75% or a base rate plus a spread of 0.00% to 0.75%. The applicable spread is determined quarterly based upon the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio (as calculated per the Amended Credit Agreement). The Additional Term Loan is subject to amortization of principal of 2.50% per year for the first year of the term and 5.00% per year thereafter, payable in equal quarterly installments. The Senior Credit Facility is available for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the Credit Facilities is February 14, 2025.

In connection with the Second Amendment, the Company incurred $3,899 in fees paid to lenders and other third parties, which were capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Facilities. In addition, $1,681 of unamortized financing fees incurred in connection with obtaining the New Credit Agreement and First Amendment will continue to be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Facilities.

7. 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 3—Fair Value Measurement” of the 2019 Annual Report. The Company has not changed the valuation techniques or inputs it uses for its fair value measurement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
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.

14


The Company has a deferred compensation plan for certain executives and key employees, which is composed of deferred compensation and all related income and losses attributable thereto. The Company’s obligation under its deferred compensation plan is measured at fair value based on quoted market prices of the participants’ elected investments, which are Level 1 inputs.
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 $52,752 commercial paper issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2020, $18,680 had original maturities greater than three months, which were considered available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $59,243 commercial paper issued and outstanding, of which $9,586 had original maturities greater than three months and were considered available-for-sale securities.
The Company’s contingent consideration liabilities are measured at fair value using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis or a simulation-based methodology for the acquired companies, which are Level 3 inputs. The Company recognizes changes to the fair value of its contingent consideration liabilities in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
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:

Volatility75.0%50.0%
Discount rate13.1%16.5%
Risk-free rate0.2%1.5%
Cost of debt6.3%5.3%

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.
16


The Company’s equity investment represents an investment in a non-controlled corporation without a readily determinable market value. The Company has elected to measure the investment at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. The fair value is determined by using quoted prices for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, which are Level 2 inputs. The Company recognizes changes to the fair value of its equity investment in interest expense, net, and other in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
The balance of the equity investment classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy was $15,449 as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. There were no changes to the fair value of the equity investment recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
There were no triggering events identified, no indication of impairment of the Company’s goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets, or equity investments, and no impairment charges recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate the value, even though these instruments are not recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company’s 5.125% senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and 4.625% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) was estimated using quoted market prices in active markets for identical liabilities, which are Level 1 inputs. The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of the 2024 Notes and the 2027 Notes are presented in the following table. See additional information in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note (8), Notes Payable and Credit Agreement” of the 2019 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.
8. INCOME TAXES
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, as of June 30, 2020, the Company is no longer subject to state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2010, and the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income or payroll tax examinations for tax years before 2016. Prior to the Company’s acquisition of Advanced, on June 14, 2019, Advanced was under an IRS audit for the years 2011-2013 for various payroll tax matters related to the treatment of certain non-taxable per diem allowances and travel benefits. This audit was completed and an assessment was issued for $8,300 in July 2018. The Company received a final determination from the IRS in November 2019 for $1,300. The Company is indemnified by Advanced for the potential contingent liability for all pre-acquisition open years. The Company acquired Stratus Video on February 14, 2020. The Company is indemnified by Stratus Video for any potential international income tax and contingent tax liability items for pre-acquisition open years up to $2,500. The Advanced and Stratus Video acquisitions are more fully described in Note (2), “Acquisitions.”

The Company believes its indemnifications by Advanced and Stratus Video for all pre-acquisition years and its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits and contingent tax issues are 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.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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, compensation, contract, competitor disputes and employee-related matters and include individual and class action lawsuits, as well as inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding the Company’s employment and compensation 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
17


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 matters for which the Company has established loss contingencies are class actions related to wage and hour claims under California and Federal law. Specifically, among other claims in these lawsuits, it is alleged that employees’ wage statements are not sufficiently clear, and certain expense reimbursements should be included in the regular rate of pay for purposes of calculating overtime rates. The Company believes that its wage and hour practices conform with law in all material respects, but litigation is always subject to inherent uncertainty and the Company is not able to reasonably predict if any matter will be resolved in a manner that is materially adverse to the Company beyond the amounts accrued. In addition, for the matters for which it is at least reasonably possible that the estimated loss will change in the near term, the Company is unable to currently estimate the possible loss or range of loss beyond the amounts already accrued.
With regard to loss contingencies accrued as of June 30, 2020, which are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, 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, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2020 (“2019 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.
Changes to Our Reportable Segments
Effective March 8, 2020, we modified our reportable segments. We previously utilized three reportable segments, which we identified as follows: (1) nurse and allied solutions, (2) locum tenens solutions, and (3) other workforce solutions. In light of our acquisitions as well as our organizational changes to better align our structure with our strategy, our management reorganized our reportable segments to better reflect how the business is evaluated by the chief operating decision maker. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we have disclosed the following three reportable segments: (1) nurse and allied solutions, (2) physician and leadership solutions, and (3) technology and workforce solutions. The nurse and allied solutions segment includes our travel nurse staffing, rapid response nurse staffing and labor disruption, allied staffing, local staffing, and revenue cycle solutions businesses. The physician and leadership solutions segment includes our locum tenens staffing, healthcare interim leadership staffing, executive search, and physician permanent placement businesses. The technology and workforce solutions segment includes remote video interpreting, vendor management systems, workforce optimization, recruitment process outsourcing, education, credentialing and flex pool management businesses. Prior period data in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” has been reclassified to conform to the new segment reporting structure.
Overview of Our Business
 
We provide healthcare workforce solutions and staffing services to healthcare organizations across the nation. As an innovative total talent solutions partner, our managed services programs, or “MSP,” vendor management systems, or “VMS,” workforce consulting services, remote video interpretation services, predictive modeling, staff scheduling, revenue cycle solutions and the placement of physicians, nurses, allied healthcare professionals and healthcare leaders 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.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded revenue of $608.4 million, as compared to $535.2 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded revenue of $1,210.8 million, as compared to $1,067.6 million for the same period last year.
Nurse and allied solutions segment revenue comprised 72% and 70% of total consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. 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. We also provide revenue cycle solutions, which includes skilled labor solutions for remote medical coding, clinical documentation improvement, case management, clinical data registry, and provides auditing and advisory services.
 
Physician and leadership solutions segment revenue comprised 20% and 26% of total consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Through our physician and leadership 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 advanced practice providers, with clients on a temporary basis as independent contractors. We also recruit physicians and healthcare leaders for permanent placement and place interim leaders and executives across all healthcare settings. The interim healthcare professionals we place are typically placed on contracts with assignment lengths ranging from a few days to one year, and a growing number of these placements are under our managed services solution.
 
Technology and workforce solutions segment revenue comprised 8% and 4% of total consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Through our technology and workforce solutions segment, we provide hospitals and other healthcare facilities with a range of workforce solutions, including: (1) language interpretation services, (2) software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) VMS technologies through which our clients can manage their temporary staffing needs, (3)
20


workforce optimization services that include consulting, data analytics, predictive modeling, and SaaS-based scheduling technology, (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) credentialing services, and (6) flex pool management services.

As part of our long-term growth strategy to add value for our clients, healthcare professionals, and shareholders, on February 14, 2020, December 19, 2019, June 14, 2019, and January 30, 2019, we acquired Stratus Video, b4health, Advanced, and Silversheet, respectively. Stratus Video is a remote video interpreting company that provides healthcare interpretation via remote video, over the phone, and onsite in-person, supported by proprietary technology platforms. b4health is an innovative technology company and a leading provider of a web-based internal float pool management solution and vendor management system for healthcare facilities. Advanced is a national healthcare staffing company that specializes in placing therapists and nurses across multiple settings, including hospitals, schools, clinics, skilled nursing facilities, and home health. Silversheet provides innovative credentialing software solutions to clinicians and healthcare enterprises. See additional information in the accompanying Note (2), “Acquisitions.”
Recent Trends

Demand for our temporary and permanent placement staffing services is driven in part by U.S. economic and labor trends. During the first few months of 2020, the positive macroeconomic and labor trends created a highly competitive market for healthcare professionals. However, when the imposition of “shelter-in-place” orders and the suspension of elective and “non-essential” healthcare services occurred in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 health crisis, demand for many of our businesses declined significantly. Although these “shelter-in-place” orders and suspensions have been loosened and lifted in some parts of the country, general utilization of healthcare continues to be below the pre-COVID-19 levels, which continues to negatively impact demand for many of our business lines other than nursing, language interpretation services and our vendor management technology solutions. At the same time, demand for our nursing services has fluctuated significantly throughout the first half of the year based on COVID-19 related needs. With the uncertainty regarding safety concerns, the increase in unemployment, related economic concerns and the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the extent and duration to which demand for our businesses will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In our nurse and allied solutions segment, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to recruit enough nurses to meet the then-current demand levels was impacted by the tight labor market and modest bill rate increases. Starting in early March, and in response to the COVID-19 public health crisis, bill rates and wages for nurses increased significantly in order to attract nurses into taking higher risk positions. In the latter part of April, we experienced a significant cancellation of requests for nurses as hospitalization rates from COVID-19 were initially well below originally expected levels in most areas of the US other than the northeast. In May and early June, with the decrease in COVID-19 related requests coupled with the lower healthcare utilization overall, demand in our nursing businesses dropped well below prior year levels, and bill rates started trending back towards standard rate levels. Starting in late-June, as COVID-19 infection rates and hospitalizations significantly increased across many areas of the country, demand for nurses rose quickly, and total demand for nursing exceeded prior year levels by mid-July. Demand for nurses in specialties including ICU, telemetry, and medical surgical nurses is particularly strong in states including California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and Georgia. With the higher demand, and urgent need to quickly fill positions, bill rates and wages are increasing again. Many of the recent COVID-19 related requests for nurse staffing is for shorter duration of six to ten weeks due to client uncertainty as to how long these related patient volumes will remain at elevated levels.

Prior to the COVID-19 public health crisis, our allied staffing division experienced a decline in demand for physical therapists from skilled nursing facility and home health clients resulting from recently implemented Medicare reimbursement changes. This decline in demand was further exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19 in March. At the same time, we experienced significant demand for respiratory therapists as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar to our nursing division, we experienced an increased level of order cancellations for these respiratory therapists as the number of COVID-19 cases began to flatten.

During April, the vast majority of speech language therapists contracted with schools were able to start working again through the rapid adoption of our tele-therapy platform. Like nursing, the allied staffing division has experienced a recent surge in demand for respiratory therapists due to the increased COVID-19 hospitalization rates across the country in late June. Demand has also improved for our imaging and lab specialties, but continues to be well below prior year for our physical therapy discipline.

In our physician and leadership solutions segment, our locum tenens division started the year well, with recruiter productivity and revenue increasing after disruptions resulting from process and technology changes made during 2018. However, in mid-March, as a result of COVID-19, our locum tenens business experienced a significant increase in order cancellations and a decrease in overall demand due to the suspension of elective procedures and non-essential healthcare
21


services. With healthcare utilization resuming in late April, demand and placements for locum tenens has been slowly improving, but the recovery is inconsistent across specialties.

For our interim leadership division, demand decreased as providers reacted to lower patient volumes and focused on cost containment. Our physician permanent placement and healthcare executive search businesses experienced a decline in overall search demand as many clients have temporarily suspended filling open roles due to uncertainty from the COVID-19 public health crisis. Since June, demand for our interim and permanent placement services has improved from their lowest levels, and clients resumed more normal operating activities in line with growth in patient volumes and a rebound in elective procedures.

In our technology and workforce solutions segment, our VMS technologies initially experienced increased growth following the outbreak of the COVID-19 public health crisis as clients utilized our technologies to effectively manage their increased demand for nurses. As demand for nurses declined during the quarter, utilization of the VMS technologies also declined. However, more recently, orders and placements in the technologies have risen again, and new clients are also adopting the platforms to engage with contingent labor.

In early March, the utilization in our language interpretation business declined as a result of the COVID-19-related suspension or restriction of elective and “non-essential” healthcare services. However, utilization started to increase in late April as many of these restrictions were lifted and healthcare utilization resumed more normal activities, including working through a backlog of elective procedures. By mid-June, weekly interpretation minutes utilized were above pre-COVID-19 levels, and have continued to steadily increase through July.

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a delay in discussions with clients regarding new contracts or expansions. As clients have recently begun to resume normal operations, we have contracted for several new managed services programs and service line expansions. As a result of our ongoing focus on these types of strategic MSP relationships, the percentage of our staffing revenue derived from our MSP clients continues to increase.

In response to the reduced demand for services as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, throughout the second quarter, we took actions to reduce our selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $120 million when annualized. Cost reduction actions taken include, among other things, suspending employer contributions under our 401(k) retirement savings plan and deferred compensation plan, reducing our workforce to correspond to reduced demand, and reducing variable compensation, travel, professional services and marketing expenses.

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 intangible assets purchased in a business combination, 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 the Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) 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 2019 Annual Report.

Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
 
RevenueRevenue increased 14% to $608.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $535.2 million for the same period in 2019, primarily attributable to additional revenue of $61.5 million from our Advanced, b4health, and Stratus Video acquisitions and higher organic revenue in our nurse and allied solutions segment. Excluding the additional revenue from acquisitions, revenue increased 2%.
Nurse and allied solutions segment revenue increased 21% to $444.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $368.0 million for the same period in 2019. The $76.5 million increase was primarily attributable to $31.6 million of revenue from our Advanced acquisition, which benefited from having direct access to our MSP orders. In addition, the average bill rate increased by 20%, which was partially offset by a 13% decrease in the average number of healthcare professionals on assignment and an approximately $11.0 million decrease in labor disruption revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
 Physician and leadership solutions segment revenue decreased 24% to $108.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $142.4 million for the same period in 2019. The $33.8 million decrease was primarily attributable to a 22% decrease in the number of days filled and a 4% decrease in the revenue per day filled in our locum tenens business, which was attributable to the impact of COVID-19 since the second half of March of 2020, during the three months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, revenue in our interim leadership and permanent placement businesses declined during the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to a decrease in overall demand as some clients placed new searches on hold due to the COVID-19 public health crisis.
Technology and workforce solutions segment revenue increased 123% to $55.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $24.7 million for the same period in 2019. The $30.6 million increase was primarily attributable to additional revenue of $29.8 million from our b4health and Stratus Video acquisitions along with growth in our organic VMS business during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, revenue under our MSP arrangements comprised approximately 55% and 46% of our consolidated revenue, 70% and 59% for nurse and allied solutions segment revenue and 22% and 19% for physician and leadership solutions segment revenue, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 10% to $197.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $179.5 million for the same period in 2019, representing gross margins of 32.5% and 33.5%, respectively. The decline in consolidated gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to a lower gross margin in our nurse and allied solutions
23


segment, driven primarily by lower bill-to-pay spreads, partially offset by the change in sales mix resulting from our b4health and Stratus Video acquisitions and their higher margins as compared to our staffing businesses. Gross margin by reportable segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 27.0% and 28.1% for nurse and allied solutions, 36.4% and 37.2% for physician and leadership solutions, and 68.7% and 93.4% for technology and workforce solutions, respectively. The year-over-year gross margin decline in the technology and workforce solutions segment was primarily due to the change in sales mix resulting from the addition of lower margin Stratus Video as compared to our SaaS-based technologies within the segment.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $137.1 million, representing 22.5% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $121.7 million, representing 22.7% of revenue, for the same period in 2019. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to $9.7 million of additional SG&A expenses from the Advanced, b4health and Stratus Video acquisitions, a $8.3 million increase related to acquisition, integration, changes in the fair value of earn-out liabilities from acquisitions, restructuring, and extraordinary legal expenses, a $3.5 million lower favorable actuarial-based decrease in our professional liability reserves as compared to the same period in 2019, and a $2.6 million increase in share-based compensation expense. The overall increase was partially offset by cost reduction measures that were initiated during the three months ended June 30, 2020. SG&A expenses broken down among the reportable segments, unallocated corporate overhead, and share-based compensation are as follows:   
(In Thousands)
 Three Months Ended June 30,
 20202019
Nurse and allied solutions$58,829  $50,657  
Physician and leadership solutions24,239  34,171  
Technology and workforce solutions16,488  11,765  
Unallocated corporate overhead31,165  21,373  
Share-based compensation6,347  3,702  
$137,068  $121,668  
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Amortization expense increased 104% to $15.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $7.4 million for the same period in 2019, primarily attributable to additional amortization expenses related to the intangible assets acquired in the Advanced, b4health and Stratus Video acquisitions and the shortened useful life of the tradename intangible asset acquired in the MedPartners acquisition, which occurred during the third quarter of 2019. Depreciation expense increased 30% to $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $5.4 million for the same period in 2019, 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 OtherInterest expense, net, and other, was $11.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to a higher average debt outstanding balance for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which resulted from borrowings used to finance the Stratus Video acquisition and the consummation of the issuance and sale of our 2027 Notes (as defined below in this Item 2) in October 2019.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $10.2 million for the same period in 2019, reflecting effective income tax rates of 17% and 26% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the recognition of a $4.3 million discrete tax benefit for fair value changes in the cash surrender value of our Company Owned Life Insurance (“COLI”) during the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to a $0.6 million discrete tax benefit for COLI during the same period in 2019, in relation to income before income taxes of $27.0 million and $39.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We currently estimate our annual effective tax rate to be approximately 32% for 2020. The 17% effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 differs from our estimated annual effective tax rate of 32% primarily due to the discrete tax benefit recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2020, in relation to income before income taxes, as discussed above.

Comparison of Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
 
RevenueRevenue increased 13% to $1,210.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $1,067.6 million for the same period in 2019, primarily attributable to additional revenue of $117.9 million from our Silversheet, Advanced, b4health, and Stratus Video acquisitions and higher organic revenue in our nurse and allied solutions segment, partially offset
24


by an approximately $12.0 million decrease in labor disruption revenue and lower revenue in our physician and leadership solutions segment. Excluding the additional revenue from acquisitions, revenue increased 2%.
Nurse and allied solutions segment revenue increased 17% to $868.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $741.5 million for the same period in 2019. The $127.3 million increase was primarily attributable to additional revenue of $72.2 million in connection with the Advanced acquisition and an increase in the average bill rate of 10%, partially offset by a 8% decrease in the average number of healthcare professionals on assignment and an approximately $12.0 million decrease in labor disruption revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
 Physician and leadership solutions segment revenue decreased 12% to $246.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $279.5 million for the same period in 2019. The $33.0 million decrease was primarily attributable to a 11% decrease in the number of days filled during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and a 2% decrease in the revenue per day filled in our locum tenens business. In addition, revenue in our interim leadership and permanent placement businesses declined during the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to a decrease in overall demand as some clients placed new searches on hold due to the COVID-19 public health crisis.
Technology and workforce solutions segment revenue increased 105% to $95.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $46.6 million for the same period in 2019. Of the $48.9 million increase, $45.6 million was attributable to additional revenue from our b4health and Stratus Video acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, revenue under our MSP arrangements comprised approximately 51% and 47% of our consolidated revenue, 65% and 60% for nurse and allied solutions segment revenue and 19% and 20% for physician and leadership solutions segment revenue, respectively.
 
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 12% to $399.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $356.3 million for the same period in 2019, representing gross margins of 33.0% and 33.4%, respectively. The decline in consolidated gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to a lower gross margin in our nurse and allied solutions segment, driven primarily by lower bill-to-pay spreads, partially offset by the change in sales mix resulting from our b4health and Stratus Video acquisitions and their higher margins as compared to our staffing businesses. Gross margin by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was 27.7% and 28.3% for nurse and allied solutions, 36.6% and 36.9% for physician and leadership solutions, and 71.7% and 93.0% for technology and workforce solutions, respectively. The year-over-year gross margin decline in the technology and workforce solutions segment was primarily due to the change in sales mix resulting from the addition of lower margin Stratus Video as compared to our SaaS-based technologies within the segment.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. SG&A expenses were $283.3 million, representing 23.4% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $241.7 million, representing 22.6% of revenue, for the same period in 2019. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to $18.7 million of additional SG&A expenses from the Silversheet, Advanced, b4health, and Stratus Video acquisitions, a $17.3 million increase related to acquisition, integration, changes in the fair value of earn-out liabilities from acquisitions, restructuring, and extraordinary legal expenses, a $3.5 million lower favorable actuarial-based decrease in our professional liability reserves as compared to the same period in 2019, and a $2.4 million increase in share-based compensation expense. The increase was partially offset by cost reduction measures that were initiated during the three months ended June 30, 2020. SG&A expenses broken down among the reportable segments, unallocated corporate overhead, and share-based compensation are as follows:

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Amortization expense increased 104% to $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $14.0 million for the same period in 2019, with the increase primarily attributable to additional amortization expenses related to the intangible assets acquired in the Advanced, b4health and Stratus Video acquisitions and the shortened useful life of the tradename intangible asset acquired in the MedPartners acquisition, which occurred during the third
25


quarter of 2019. Depreciation expense increased 32% to $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $10.4 million for the same period in 2019, 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 OtherInterest expense, net, and other, was $22.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to $11.7 million for the same period in 2019. The increase is primarily due to a higher average debt outstanding balance for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which resulted from borrowings used to finance the Stratus Video acquisition and the consummation of the issuance and sale of our 2027 Notes (as defined below in this Item 2) in October 2019.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $16.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to income tax expense of $15.5 million for the same period in 2019, reflecting effective income tax rates of 32% and 20% for these periods, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the recognition of discrete tax benefits of $0.6 million and $8.3 million in relation to income before income taxes of $51.6 million and $78.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We currently estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 32% for 2020.

Historically, our primary liquidity requirements have been for acquisitions, working capital requirements, and debt service under our credit facilities and senior notes. We have funded these requirements through internally generated cash flow and funds borrowed under our credit facilities. As of June 30, 2020, (1) the total of our Additional Term Loan (as defined below) outstanding (including both current and long-term portions) was $248.4 million, (2) $100.0 million was drawn with $282.6 million of available credit under the Senior Credit Facility (as defined below), (3) the aggregate principal amount of our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) outstanding equaled $325.0 million and (4) the aggregate principal amount of our 4.625% senior notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) outstanding equaled $300.0 million. We describe in further detail our credit agreement, in effect prior to the second amendment thereof, under which our Senior Credit Facility is governed, the 2024 Notes, and the 2027 Notes in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note (8), Notes Payable and Credit Agreement” of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See additional information on our Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below) in Note (6), “Notes Payable and Credit Agreement” to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We believe that cash generated from operations and available borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations, including expected capital expenditures, for the next 12 months and beyond. We intend to finance potential future acquisitions with cash provided from operations, borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility or other borrowings under our Amended Credit Agreement, 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 six months ended June 30, 2020 was $128.3 million, compared to $65.3 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to (1) an increase in other liabilities between periods of $28.6 million, and a corresponding decrease in income tax receivable between periods of $7.8 million, primarily due to our election to defer estimated income tax payments and employer payroll taxes in accordance with the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), (2) an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses between periods of $15.4 million primarily due to the payment of a loss contingency during the second quarter of 2019 and the timing of payments, (3) a decrease in other assets between periods of $11.9 million due to lower long-term prepayments and deposits. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in accrued compensation and benefits between periods of $13.0 million primarily due to timing of payments. Our Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) was 55 days at June 30, 2020, 55 days at December 31, 2019, and 63 days at June 30, 2019.
 
Investing Activities
26


 
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $513.3 million, compared to $240.7 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to (1) $476.5 million used for acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to $228.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, and (2) a net purchase of restricted investments related to our captive insurance company of $9.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to net proceeds of $9.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. In addition, capital expenditures were $19.7 million and $15.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $329.0 million, primarily due to borrowings of $225.0 million under the Senior Credit Facility (as defined below) and $250.0 million of borrowings under the Additional Term Loan (as defined below), which were primarily used to fund our Stratus Video acquisition, partially offset by (1) the repayment of $125.0 million under the Senior Credit Facility, (2) $10.6 million for acquisition contingent consideration earn-out payments, (3) $4.6 million in cash paid for shares withheld for payroll taxes resulting from the vesting of employee equity awards, and (4) $4.2 million payment of financing costs in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined below). Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $189.3 million, primarily due to borrowings of $101.0 million under the Senior Credit Facility and $150.0 million of borrowings under the Term Loan (as defined below) used to fund our Advanced acquisition, partially offset by (1) the repayment of $25.0 million under the Senior Credit Facility, (2) $18.7 million paid in connection with the repurchase of common stock, (3) $5.7 million for acquisition contingent consideration earn-out payments, and (4) $11.5 million in cash paid for shares withheld for payroll taxes resulting from the vesting of employee equity awards.

Amended Credit Agreement

On February 9, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with several lenders to provide for a $400.0 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) to replace our then-existing credit agreement. The Senior Credit Facility includes a $50.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $50.0 million sublimit for swingline loans. On June 14, 2019, we entered into the first amendment to the New Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to provide for, among other things, a $150.0 million secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan”). On February 14, 2020, we entered into the second amendment to the New Credit Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) to provide for, among other things, a $250.0 million secured term loan credit facility (the “Additional Term Loan” and, together with the Senior Credit Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The Second Amendment (together with the New Credit Agreement and the First Amendment, collectively, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) extended the maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility to be coterminous with the Additional Term Loan. Our obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets. For more detail regarding the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, including maturity dates, payment and interest terms, please see Note (6) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Notes Payable and Credit Agreement.”
Letters of Credit
At June 30, 2020, we maintained outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $19.8 million as collateral in relation to our workers’ compensation insurance agreements and a corporate office lease agreement. Of the $19.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, we have collateralized $2.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and the remaining $17.4 million is collateralized by the Senior Credit Facility. Outstanding standby letters of credit at December 31, 2019 totaled $19.8 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 At June 30, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are 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 during the six months ended June 30, 2020, other than the borrowings and repayments under the Amended Credit Agreement described in the accompanying Note (2), “Acquisitions” and Note (6), “Notes Payable and Credit Agreement,” 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 2019 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
27


In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The standard is expected to reduce cost and complexity related to accounting for income taxes. The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions and clarifies and amends existing guidance to promote consistent application among reporting entities. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on a retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815.” The new guidance clarifies the interactions between accounting standards that apply to equity investments without readily determinable fair values. Specifically, it addresses the accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method. This standard is effective on a prospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements, but do not expect the adoption to have a material impact.
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 2019 Annual Report and include but are not limited to:
the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations;
the duration that hospitals and other healthcare entities decrease their utilization of temporary nurses and allied healthcare professionals, physicians, healthcare leaders and other healthcare professionals and workforce technology applications as a result of the suspension or restrictions placed on non-essential and elective healthcare as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic;
the duration that individuals may continue to forgo non-essential and elective healthcare as “safer at home” restrictions and recommendations are reinstituted in parts of the country and lifted in others;
the extent and duration that a significant spike in unemployment that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic will cause an increase in under- and uninsured patients and a corresponding reduction in overall healthcare utilization and demand for our services;
the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may disrupt our operations due to the unavailability of our employees or healthcare professionals due to illness, risk of illness, quarantines, travel restrictions, desire to travel and work on temporary assignments or other factors that limit our existing or potential workforce and pool of candidates;
the severity and duration of the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has on the financial condition and cash flow of many hospitals and healthcare systems such that it impairs their ability to make payments to us, timely or otherwise, for services rendered;
the effects of economic downturns or slow recoveries, which could result in less demand for our services, pricing pressures and negatively impact payments terms and collectability of accounts receivable;
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 negative effects that intermediary organizations may have on our ability to secure new and profitable contracts;
28


the level of consolidation and concentration of buyers of healthcare workforce, staffing and technology solutions, which could affect the pricing of our services and our ability to mitigate concentration risk;
the ability of our clients to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their staffing management and recruiting efforts, through predictive analytics, online recruiting, telemedicine or otherwise, which may negatively affect our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows;
the repeal or significant erosion of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act without a corresponding replacement may negatively affect the demand for our services;
any inability on our part to recruit and retain sufficient quality healthcare professionals at reasonable costs, which could increase our operating costs and negatively affect our business and profitability;
any inability on our part to grow and operate our business profitably in compliance with federal and state regulation, including privacy laws, conduct of operations, costs and payment for services and payment for referrals as well as laws regarding employment and compensation 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, violations of employment, privacy and wage regulations and other legal theories of liability asserted against us, which could subject us to substantial liabilities;
any technology disruptions or our inability to implement new infrastructure and technology systems effectively may adversely affect our operating results and ability to manage our business effectively;
any failure to further develop and evolve our current workforce solutions technology offerings and capabilities, which may harm our business;
disruption to or failures of our SaaS-based technology, or our inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights with respect to such technology, sufficiently protect the privacy of personal information, which could reduce client satisfaction, harm our reputation and negatively affect our business;
security breaches and cybersecurity incidents that could compromise our information and systems, which could adversely affect our business operations and reputation and could subject us to substantial liabilities;
any inability on our part to quickly and properly credential and match quality healthcare professionals with suitable placements, which may adversely affect demand for our services;
any inability on our part to continue to attract, develop and retain our sales and operations team members, which may deteriorate our operations;
our increasing dependence on third parties, including offshore vendors, for the execution of certain critical functions;
the loss of our key officers and management personnel, which could adversely affect our business and operating results;
any inability to consummate and effectively incorporate acquisitions into our business operations, which may adversely affect our long-term growth and our results of operations;
businesses we acquire may have liabilities or adverse operating issues, which could harm our operating results;
any increase to our business and operating risks as we develop new services and clients, enter new lines of business, and focus more of our business on providing a full range of client solutions;
any inability on our part to maintain our positive brand awareness and identity, which may adversely affect our results of operation;
the expansion of social media platforms presents new risks and challenges, which could cause damage to our brand reputation;
any recognition of an impairment to the substantial amount of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles on our balance sheet;
our indebtedness, which could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund operations, limit our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry, and expose us to interest rate risk to the extent of any variable rate debt;
29


the terms of our debt instruments that impose restrictions on us that may affect our ability to successfully operate our business; and
the effect of significant adverse adjustments to our insurance-related accruals on our balance sheet, which could decrease our earnings or increase our losses and negatively impact our cash flows.
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, our primary exposure to market risk was interest rate risk associated with our variable interest debt instruments. A 100 basis point increase in interest rates on our variable rate debt would not have resulted in a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 June 30, 2020 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 June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
We believe that, in addition to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Annual Report, the following risks could materially adversely affect our business or our consolidated operating results, financial condition or cash flows, which, in turn, could cause the price of our common stock to decline. The risk factors described below and in our 2019 Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Factors we currently do not know, factors that we currently consider immaterial or factors that are not specific to us, such as general economic conditions, may also materially adversely affect our business or our consolidated operating results, financial condition or cash flows. The risk factors described below qualify all forward-looking statements we make, including forward-looking statements within the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Annual Report.
The widespread outbreak of illness or other public health crisis could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We could be negatively affected by the widespread outbreak of an illness or any other public health crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. Many state and local jurisdictions have imposed “shelter-in-place” orders, quarantines and restrictions on travel and mass gatherings to slow the spread of the virus and have required many “non-essential” businesses to close operations or shift to a remote working environment and restricted the delivery of non-emergency healthcare.
Demand for our staffing services and workforce technology solutions is sensitive to changes in economic activity. Demand for non-essential and elective healthcare has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many hospitals and other healthcare entities have significantly decreased their utilization of temporary healthcare professionals, interpreters, coders and permanent recruitment and placement services, which has resulted in decreased demand for many of our service offerings and utilization of our workforce technology platforms. We expect this decreased demand will have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Many individuals may continue to forgo non-essential and elective healthcare even after “safer at home” restrictions and recommendations are lifted. We are unable to predict the duration and extent to which demand for our services will be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition, the significant spike in unemployment that has resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic will likely cause an increase in under- and uninsured patients, which generally results in a reduction in overall healthcare utilization and a decrease in demand for our services. At this time, we are unable to predict the duration and extent to which our businesses will be negatively impacted by the increased unemployment and under- and uninsured rates resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic, and any other outbreak of illness or other public health crises, may also disrupt our operations due to the unavailability of our corporate team members or healthcare professionals due to illness, risk of illness, quarantines, travel restrictions or other factors that limit our existing or potential workforce and pool of candidates. In addition, we may experience negative financial effects of the COVID-19 due to higher workers compensation and health insurance costs, for which we are largely self-insured. We may also be subject to claims regarding the health and safety of our healthcare professionals and our corporate team members.
Given the economic impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the financial condition of many hospitals and healthcare systems, many of our clients have begun to experience cash flow issues and difficulty gaining access to sufficient credit, which has, in some cases, impaired their ability to make payments to us, timely or otherwise, for services rendered and we have already experienced an increase to our allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable. We may also be subject to claims from these clients relating to the ability to provide services under terms and conditions that they believe are fair and reasonable.

The foregoing and other continued disruptions to our business as a result of COVID-19 could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, which is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
31



From time to time, we may repurchase our common stock in the open market pursuant to programs approved by our Board. We may repurchase our common stock for a variety of reasons, such as acquiring shares to offset dilution related to equity-based incentives and optimizing our capital structure. On November 1, 2016, our Board authorized us to repurchase up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock in the open market. Under the repurchase program announced on November 1, 2016 (the “Company Repurchase Program”), share purchases may be made from time to time beginning in the fourth quarter of 2016, depending on prevailing market conditions and other considerations. The Company Repurchase Program has no expiration date and may be discontinued or suspended at any time.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock. We describe in further detail our repurchase program and the shares repurchased thereunder in Part II, Item 5, “Market For Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” set forth in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
