* Refer to accompanying tables and discussion of non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures below. |
“We entered the year on a very positive trajectory, with solid execution, higher productivity, and exceptional performance," said Kevin Clark, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer for Cross Country Healthcare. He continued, "This was the single largest revenue quarter in our Company's history and was fueled by our passionate, tireless efforts to deliver the critical professionals needed across the country."
First quarter consolidated revenue was $329.2 million, an increase of 57% year-over-year and 53% sequentially. Consolidated gross profit margin was 21.7%, down 190 basis points year-over-year and 350 basis points sequentially. Net income attributable to common shareholders was $19.4 million compared to a net loss of $2.1 million in the prior year and net income of $4.6 million in the prior quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.53 per share compared to a loss of $0.06 per share in the prior year and income of $0.13 per share in the prior quarter. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was $26.7 million or 8.1% of revenue, as compared with $4.6 million or 2.2% of revenue in the prior year, and $11.5 million or 5.3% of revenue in the prior quarter. Adjusted EPS was $0.58 compared to a loss of $0.01 in the prior year and income of $0.19 in the prior quarter.
Quarterly Business Segment Highlights
In the first quarter of 2021, the Company modified its reportable segments to the following two reportable segments – Nurse and Allied Staffing and Physician Staffing. Previously reported Search segment results have been reclassified to Nurse and Allied Staffing. See accompanying tables below.
Nurse and Allied Staffing
Revenue was $313.0 million, an increase of 63% year-over-year and 57% sequentially. Contribution income was $37.4 million, an increase compared to $13.8 million in the prior year and $22.8 million in the prior quarter. Average field contract personnel on a full-time equivalent (FTE) basis were 6,614 as compared with 7,145 in the prior year and 5,798 in the prior quarter. Revenue per FTE per day was $522 compared to $290 in the prior year and $368 in the prior quarter. As a result of the rise in demand and a tight labor market, our average travel bill rates increased due to the increases in pay rates required to attract healthcare professionals. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), we have worked with our clients to adjust bill rates, both increasing and decreasing rates as necessary, to provide critical healthcare professionals.
Physician Staffing
Revenue was $16.2 million, a decrease of 11% year-over-year and 1% sequentially. Contribution income was $1.4 million, an increase compared to $0.6 million in the prior year and $0.9 million in the prior quarter. Total days filled were 9,469 as compared with 10,199 in the prior year and 9,911 in the prior quarter. Revenue per day filled was $1,714 as compared with $1,783 in the prior year and $1,658 in the prior quarter.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights
Cash flow used in operations for the quarter was $24.9 million compared to cash flow provided by operations of $17.2 million in the prior year and $1.9 million in the prior quarter, primarily due to strong sequential revenue growth which resulted in a $76.6 million increase in receivables since the start of the year. Days' sales outstanding was 56 days as of March 31, 2021, flat year-over-year and down 2 days sequentially.
At March 31, 2021, the Company had $13.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $96.0 million of borrowings drawn under its asset-based loan facility (ABL), and $18.5 million of letters of credit outstanding. Availability under the ABL is subject to a borrowing base, which was $150.0 million as of March 31, 2021, with $35.5 million available for borrowing as of March 31, 2021.

The above estimates are based on current management expectations and, as such, are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. The above ranges do not include the potential impact of any future divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations, changes in debt structure, or future share repurchases. We expect COVID-19 will continue to impact our business throughout the second quarter, with average bill rates remaining higher than the prior year though declining sequentially for certain assignments, as well as lower demand for certain services such as locum tenens, education, and search. See accompanying non-GAAP financial measures and tables below.

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

(a) |
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, acquisition and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements and fees, impairment charges, gain or loss on derivative, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets, gain or loss on sale of business, other expense (income), net, equity compensation, applicant tracking system costs, and includes net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in subsidiary. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Management presents Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful supplement to net income attributable to common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes and as one performance measure in its incentive programs for certain members of its management team. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, closely matches the operating measure typically used in the Company's credit facilities in calculating various ratios. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by the Company's consolidated revenue. |
(b) |
Acquisition and integration-related costs include costs for valuation adjustments related to the contingent consideration liability for the Mediscan acquisition. |
(c) |
Restructuring costs are primarily comprised of employee termination costs, lease-related exit costs, and reorganization costs as part of planned cost savings initiatives. |
(d) |
Legal settlements and fees include legal settlement charges as presented on the consolidated statements of operations as well as legal fees pertaining to non-operational legal matters which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and December 30, 2020, we incurred legal fees related to various legal matters outside the normal course of operations. |
(e) |
Impairment charges of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 related to the write-off of a discontinued software development project. Impairment charges of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 related to right-of-use assets and related property and equipment in connection with leases that were vacated during the second and third quarters of 2020. Rebranding impairments and accelerated amortization related to finite-lived trade names in connection with the rebranding initiatives. |
(f) |
Applicant tracking system costs are related to the Company's project to replace its legacy system supporting its travel nurse staffing business. These costs are reported in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations and included in corporate overhead in segment data. |
(g) |
Cross Country Talent Acquisition Group, LLC was controlled by the Company but not wholly owned. The Company recorded the ownership interest of the noncontrolling shareholder as noncontrolling interest in subsidiary. Effective December 31, 2020, the sole professional staffing services agreement held by this joint venture was terminated. The Company subsequently entered into a direct staffing agreement with the hospital system. |
(h) |
Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders per diluted share before the diluted EPS impact of acquisition and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, legal settlements and fees, impairment charges, rebranding impairments and accelerated amortization, gain or loss on derivative, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on sale of business, applicant tracking system costs, and nonrecurring income tax adjustments. Adjusted EPS should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Management presents Adjusted EPS because it believes that Adjusted EPS is a useful supplement to its reported EPS as an indicator of operating performance. Management believes it provides a more useful comparison of the Company's underlying business performance from period to period and is more representative of the future earnings capacity of the Company. |
(i) |
Due to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2020, 455 shares (in thousands) were excluded from diluted weighted average shares. |
(j) |
Segment data provided is in accordance with the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company modified its reportable segments and disclosed two reportable segments - Nurse and Allied Staffing and Physician Staffing beginning in the first quarter of 2021. Revenue in the amount of $2.8 million and $3.6 million, and contribution income of $0.6 million and contribution loss of $0.3 million, included in the previously-reported Search segment have been reclassified to Nurse and Allied Staffing for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. |
(k) |
Contribution income is defined as income (loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization, acquisition and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, legal settlement charges, impairment charges, and corporate overhead. Contribution income is a financial measure used by management when assessing segment performance. |
(l) |
Corporate overhead includes unallocated executive leadership and other centralized corporate functional support costs such as finance, IT, legal, human resources, and marketing, as well as public company expenses and corporate-wide projects (initiatives). |
(m) |
Gross profit is defined as revenue from services less direct operating expenses. The Company's gross profit excludes allocated depreciation and amortization expense. Gross profit margin is calculated by dividing gross profit by revenue from services. |
(n) |
FTEs represent the average number of Nurse and Allied Staffing contract personnel on a full-time equivalent basis. |
(o) |
Average revenue per FTE per day is calculated by dividing Nurse and Allied Staffing revenue, excluding permanent placement, per FTE by the number of days worked in the respective periods. |
(p) |
Days filled is calculated by dividing the total hours invoiced during the period, including an estimate for the impact of accrued revenue, by 8 hours. |
(q) |
Revenue per day filled is calculated by dividing revenue as reported by days filled for the period presented. |
