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.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, 2017,2018, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017,2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 16, 21, 2019 (“2018 (“2017 Annual Report”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United StatesU.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 asset impairments, accruals for self-insurance, compensation and related benefits, accounts receivable, contingencies and litigation, earn-out liabilities, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014,February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU"(“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue2016-02, “Leases.” This standard requires organizations that lease assets to recognize the assets and liabilities created by those leases. The standard also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” Theleases. A modified retrospective transition approach is required, applying the standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application. In addition, the FASB has also issued several amendments to the standard, which clarify certain aspects of the guidance, including an optional transition method for adoption of this standard, which allows organizations to initially apply the new requirements at the effective date, recognize a seriescumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of other ASUs, which update ASU 2014-09 (collectively,retained earnings, and continue to apply the “new revenue recognition standard”). This new standard replaces all previous U.S. GAAPlegacy guidance on this topic and eliminates all industry-specific guidance.in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified modelnumber of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits organizations not to reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect to use the hindsight practical expedient to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goodslease term or services to customers in an amount that reflects the considerationevaluate impairment for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. existing leases.
The Company adopted this standardASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2018,2019, using the modified retrospectiveoptional transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of that date. Revenue from substantially all of our contracts with customers continues to be recognized over time as services are rendered.described above. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to its opening balanceas of retained earnings of $2,089, net of tax,the effective date, primarily related to capitalizationthe recognition of contract costs. Prior period amounts arelease liabilities of $114,807 and corresponding right-of-use assets of $99,525 for existing operating leases. The Company also derecognized existing deferred rent liabilities of $15,302. These adjustments had no effect on opening retained earnings and prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with ASC 840. The new standard also provides practical expedients for an organization’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the accounting standards in effectshort-term lease recognition exemption and the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for those periods.all leases that qualify. The impact ofCompany does not expect the adoption of the newthis standard to impact its results of operations.

There was notno other material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company expects the impact to be immaterial on an ongoing basis. See additional information regarding revenue recognition and disaggregated revenue in Note (3), “Revenue Recognition” and Note (5), “Segment Information,” respectively.as a result of adopting this updated standard.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash, Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The standard provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, and requires a retrospective approach. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” The standard requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or restrictedless to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents (collectively, "restricted cash"). Therefore, restricted cash should be includedinclude currency on hand, deposits with financial institutions and highly liquid

investments. Restricted cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-periodprimarily represent cash and end-of-period total amounts shownmoney market funds on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for interimdeposit with financial institutions and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard retrospectively effective January 1, 2018 and included certain

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue primarily consists of fees earned from the temporary and permanent placement of healthcare professionals and executives as well as from the Company’s SaaS-based technology, including its vendor management systems and its scheduling software. Revenue 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 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 executive search, physician permanent placement, and recruitment process outsourcing services is recognized as the services are rendered. The Company’s SaaS-based revenue is recognized 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. During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the amount recognized as revenue that was previously deferred was not material.
Under the new revenue standard, theThe Company has elected to apply the following practical expedients and optional exemptions: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 additional information regarding adoption of the new revenue standard in Note (1), “Basis of Presentation” and additional disclosures required by the new revenue standard in Note (5), “Segment Information.”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 for the three and sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 20172018, respectively:

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable segments: nurse and allied solutions, locum tenens solutions, and other workforce solutions.
The Company’s chief operating decision maker relies on internal management reporting processes that provide revenue and operating income by reportable segment for making financial decisions and allocating resources. Segment operating income represents income before income taxes plus depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, interest expense, net, and other, and unallocated corporate overhead. 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 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:

6. NEW 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. The obligations of the Company under the New Credit Agreement and the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates, at the Company’s option, based upon either LIBOR plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% or a base rate plus a spread of 0.00% to 1.00%. The applicable spread is determined quarterly based upon the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. The Senior Credit Facility is available for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility is February 9, 2023.

In connection with obtaining the New Credit Agreement, the Company incurred $2,331 in fees paid to lenders and other third parties, which were capitalized and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Facility. In addition, the Company wrote off $574 of unamortized financing fees during the six months ended June 30, 2018 relating to the prior 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 4—3—Fair Value Measurement” of the 20172018 Annual Report. The Company has not changed the valuation techniques or inputs it uses for its fair value measurement during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018.March 31, 2019.
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.
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 $32,228$61,786 commercial paper issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018, $4,672March 31, 2019, $10,938 had original maturities greater than three months, which were considered available-for-sale securities. As of December 31, 2017,2018, the Company had $28,708$63,243 commercial paper issued and outstanding, of which $6,074$15,192 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:

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.
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 March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. There were no changes to the fair value of the equity investment recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
There were no triggering events identified, and no indication of impairment of the Company’s goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets, or equity investments, and no impairment charges recorded during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 and 2017.2018.
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. As of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company'sCompany’s senior notes have a carrying amount of $325,000 and an estimated fair value of $315,250.$320,531. As of December 31, 2017,2018, the senior notes had a carrying amount of $325,000 and an estimated fair value of $335,156.$310,375. Quoted market prices in active markets for identical liabilities based inputs (level(Level 1) were used to estimate fair value. The senior notes were issued in October 2016 and have a fixed rate of 5.125%. See additional information in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note (8)(7), Notes Payable and Credit Agreement” of our 20172018 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. LEASES


The Company leases certain office facilities, data centers, and equipment under various operating leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (primarily related to housing arrangements for healthcare professionals on assignment) are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term up to 10 years. Certain leases also include options to terminate the leases within 3 years.

The components of lease expense were as follows:
  Three Months Ended March 31,
  2019

Total minimum lease payments $141,286

Rent expense under operating leases (with initial lease terms in excess of one year) was $21,402 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

9. 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, 2018,March 31, 2019, the Company is no longer subject to state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2006,2009 and the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income or payroll tax examinations for tax years before 2014.2015. The IRS conducted, completed, and settled audits of the Company’s 2011-2012 and 2013 tax years related to income and employment tax issues for the Company’s treatment of certain non-taxable per diem allowances and travel benefits in November 2017 and May 2018, respectively.

The Company believes its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits and contingent tax issues is adequate with respect to all open years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company could adjust its provision for income taxes and contingent tax liability based on future developments.

Immaterial Tax Correction Related to Prior Periods

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company identified an error related to the income tax treatment of fair value changes in the cash surrender value of its Company Owned Life Insurance (COLI) for prior years. These fair value changes had not previously been included as a net tax benefit in the provision for prior periods. In accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, management evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and concluded that the error was not material to the consolidated financial statements of prior years, nor is it believed to be material to 2018’s full year consolidated financial statements. As result, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $2,501 in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to adjust for this immaterial error correction.

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent.

The Tax Act changes that affected the Company in 2017 are primarily tax rate changes on certain deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) and deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”). The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements.

The Tax Act also establishes new tax laws that will affect 2018 and beyond, including, but not limited to, (1) reduction of the U.S. federal corporate tax rate; (2) the repeal of the domestic production activity deduction; (3) limitations on the deductibility of certain executive compensation; and (4) limitations on various entertainment and meals deductions.


The Company's accounting for certain elements of the Tax Act is incomplete, primarily relating to executive compensation and accounting methods. However, the Company was able to make reasonable estimates of these elements and, therefore, recorded provisional adjustments for these items.





9.10. 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 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 were not afforded required breaks or compensated for all time worked, 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, employees were not afforded required breaks or compensated for all time worked and the employees' wage statements are not sufficiently clear. While therates. The Company believes that its wage and hour practices conform with law in all material respects, but litigation is always subject to inherent uncertainty, anduncertainty. As a result, the Company entered into settlement agreements relating to claims in two wage and hour class actions during September and October 2018. The settlement agreements are subject to court approval, which is not ableconsidered probable. The Company recorded increases to reasonably predict if any matter will be resolvedits accruals established in a manner that is materially adverseconnection with these matters amounting to $12,140 during the Company beyond the amounts accrued.third quarter of 2018.
With regardsregard to outstanding loss contingencies as of June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, which are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, the Company believes that such matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017,2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 16, 21, 2019 (“2018 (“2017 Annual Report”). Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are “forward-looking statements.” See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We undertake no obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. References in this Quarterly Report to “AMN Healthcare,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Overview of Our Business
 
We provide healthcare workforce solutions and staffing services to healthcare facilities across the nation. As an innovative workforce solutions partner, our managed services programs, or “MSP,” vendor management systems, or “VMS,” recruitment process outsourcing, or “RPO,” workforce consulting services, predictive modeling, staff scheduling, mid-revenue cycle managementsolutions and the placement of physicians, nurses, allied healthcare professionals and healthcare executivesleaders 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.
We conduct business through three reportable segments: (1) nurse and allied solutions, (2) locum tenens solutions, and (3) other workforce solutions. For the three months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, we recorded revenue of $558.1$532.4 million, as compared to $489.8 million for the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded net income of $35.5 million, as compared to $31.3 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded revenue of $1,080.6 million, as compared to $985.0 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded net income of $78.2 million, as compared to $63.3$522.5 million for the same period last year.
Nurse and allied solutions segment revenue comprised 62%63% and 65% of total consolidated revenue for both the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017.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.
 
Locum tenens solutions segment revenue comprised 20%15% and 22%20% of total consolidated revenue for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. Through our locum tenens solutions segment, we provide a comprehensive managed services solution in which we manage all of the locum tenens needs of a client and place physicians of all specialties, as well as dentists and advanced practice providers, with clients on a temporary basis as independent contractors. These locum tenens providers are used by our clients to fill temporary vacancies created by vacation and leave schedules and to bridge the gap while they seek permanent candidates or explore expansion. Our locum tenens clients represent a diverse group of healthcare organizations throughout the United States, including hospitals, health systems, medical groups, occupational medical clinics, psychiatric facilities, government institutions, and insurance entities. The professionals we place are recruited nationwide and are typically placed on contracts with assignment lengths ranging from a few days to one year.
 

Other workforce solutions segment revenue comprised 18%22% and 16%15% of total consolidated revenue for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. Through our other workforce solutions segment, we provide hospitals and other healthcare facilities with a range of workforce solutions, including: (1) identifying and recruiting physicians and healthcare leaders for permanent placement, (2) placing interim leaders and executives across all healthcare settings, (3) a software-as-a-service (“SaaS”) VMS through which our clients can manage all of their temporary staffing needs, (4) RPO services that leverage our expertise and support systems to replace or complement a client’s existing internal recruitment function for permanent placement needs, (5) an education program that provides custom healthcare education, research, professional practice tools, and professional development services, (6) mid-revenue cycle management and related consulting services, and (7) workforce optimization services that include consulting, data analytics, predictive modeling, and SaaS-based scheduling technology.technology, and (8) credentialing services.

As part of our long-term growth strategy to add value for our clients, healthcare professionals, and shareholders, on January 30, 2019, April 6, 2018 and April 9, 2018, we acquired Silversheet, Phillips DiPisa and Leaders For Today (“PDAPDA” and LFT” or “PDA/LFT”“LFT”) and MedPartners HIM (“MedPartners”), respectively. Silversheet provides innovative credentialing software solutions to clinicians and healthcare enterprises. PDA and LFT offer a range of leadership staffing and permanent placement solutions for the healthcare industry. MedPartners provides mid-revenue cycle management solutions, including case management, clinical documentation improvement, medical coding and registry services to hospitals and physician medical groups nationwide. 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.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ survey data reflects near record levels of healthcare job openings and quits. We view this data, along with a nearly 20-year-low unemployment rate and continued economic growth as positive trends for the healthcare staffing industry. The low unemployment rate has led to some wage growth to attract healthcare professionals. We work to pass these increases on to our clients but have experienced margin pressure in our locum tenens solutions segment.

WeThe increasing consolidation within the healthcare industry is creating larger, more sophisticated and complex health systems that we believe has elevated the need for strategic workforce solutions capable of partnering to solve their recruiting, staffing and workforce optimization requirements. Given the increasing need for partners capable of offering a comprehensive workforce solution, we continue to see the benefits of our workforce solutions strategy, particularly with our managed services programs.MSPs. As
a result of our ongoing focus on these strategic MSP relationships, we continue to increase the percentage of our staffing revenue derived from our managed services program clients.MSP clients continues to increase, and we believe these strategic, longer-term relationships will continue to comprise a greater proportion of revenue in our staffing operating segments.

In our nurse and allied solutions segment, new orders inoverall demand is strong, although our travelfinancial results have been impacted by fewer contingent nurse staffing needs from a large client. Our allied staffing business are relatively flat presenting challenges to volume growth. We believe this is the result of clients hiring more permanent staff and increasing the utilization of their staff. Although we continue to negotiate bill rate increases, our clients are decreasing the portion of nursing placements utilizing premium bill rates, which has lowered the overall average bill rate in this segment.continues its steady growth, with favorable trends across most modalities.

In our locum tenens solutions segment, in late 2017 and in the first half of 2018 we madeimplemented operating model changes and implementedtogether with new front and back office technologies.technologies over the last 18 months. Although these changes are expected to have a long-term positive impact on our growth and profitability, in the short-term, these changesthey have been significantly more disruptive than anticipated to our current sales productivity and revenue. Although demand for hospitalists and emergency room physicians has significantly declined over the past 12 months, the overall demand environment for locum tenens has been relatively stable and client interest in managed service programs is increasing. Approximately 20% of our revenue and we expect the impact ofin this to continuesegment is now derived through 2018.managed service programs.

In our other workforce solutions segment, our acquisitions in the mid-revenue cycle, managementinterim leadership and workforce consultingexecutive search businesses continue to contribute to the segment’s growth. Our businesses in these markets are growing. Our vendor management systems businesses are being negatively impacted by the tepid demand environment.expected to comprise a bigger portion of our organic profitability growth in 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to asset impairments, accruals for self-insurance, compensation and related benefits, accounts receivable, contingencies and litigation, earn-out liabilities, and income taxes. We base these estimates on the information that is currently available to us and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could vary from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. If these estimates differ significantly from actual results, our consolidated financial statements and future results of operations may be materially impacted. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates, other than the adoption of the Accounting Standards UpdatesUpdate (“ASUs”ASU”) 2016-02 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 20172018 Annual Report.

The gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was positively impacted by higher-than-average gross margins from the recently acquired companiesPDA, LFT, MedPartners and Silversheet and a change in our physician permanent placement business model that prompted a $3.2$4.3 million classification of certain recruiter compensation expenses to SG&A (as defined below) that was previously in cost of revenue. These positives were partly offset by a below-average labor disruption gross margin. Net of these factors, our year-over-year gross margin declined slightly primarily due to a lower margin in our Nurse and Allied and Other Workforce Solutions segments.locum tenens solutions segment. Gross margin by reportable segment for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 was 27.9% and 2017 was 26.3% and 27.8%28.0% for nurse and allied solutions, 29.8%27.7% and 30.0%28.7% for locum tenens solutions, and 52.2%52.6% and 55.7%53.6% for other workforce solutions, respectively. The year-over-year gross margin decline in the locum tenens solutions segment was driven by lower perm conversion fees and lower bill-to-pay spreads. The other workforce solutions segment decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to the change in sales mix resulting from the additions of PDA/PDA, LFT and MedPartners during the three months ended June 30, 2018.MedPartners.

Depreciation expense increased 24%46% to $4.1$5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 from $3.3$3.5 million for the same period in 2017,2018, 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 $6.4$5.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to $4.9$5.3 million for the same period in 2017.2018. The increase is primarily due to a higher average debt outstanding balance for the three months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, which resulted from borrowings used to finance the MedPartners acquisition.and Silversheet acquisitions.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $12.9$5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 as compared to income tax expense of $20.2$7.2 million for the same period in 2017,2018, reflecting effective income tax rates of 27%13% and 39%14% for the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively. The differencedecrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the impactCompany’s discrete tax benefits of $6.4 million and $7.1 million in relation to income before income taxes of $39.4 million and $49.9 million for the Tax Cutsthree months ended March 31, 2019 and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) which reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, effective 2018. The decrease in the rate was partially offset by provisions of the Tax Act which disallowed certain fringe benefits, meals and entertainment deductions and performance based compensation for covered employees (Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the top three highest paid executive officers).2018, respectively. We currently estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 24%26% for 2018.

Nurse and allied solutions segment revenue increased 9% to $670.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $614.3 million for the same period in 2017. The $56.6 million increase was primarily attributable to an approximately $25.0 million increase in labor disruption revenue and a 5% increase in the average number of healthcare professionals on assignment, partially offset by a 2% decrease in the average bill rate during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Locum tenens solutions segment revenue decreased slightly to $210.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $211.1 million for the same period in 2017. The $0.7 million decrease was primarily attributable to a 5% decrease in the number of days filled during the six months ended June 30, 2018, partially offset by a 5% increase in the revenue per day filled.
Other workforce solutions segment revenue increased 25% to $199.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $159.7 million for the same period in 2017. Of the $39.6 million increase, $35.6 million was attributable to additional revenue in connection with the PDA/LFT and MedPartners acquisitions, with the remainder primarily attributable to growth in our interim leadership, mid-revenue cycle management and workforce consulting businesses, partially offset by declines in our permanent placement business during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 8% to $348.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $322.8 million for the same period in 2017, representing gross margins of 32.3% and 32.8%, respectively. The gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was positively impacted by higher-than-average gross margins from the recently acquired companies and a change in our physician permanent placement business model that prompted a $3.2 million classification of certain recruiter compensation expenses to SG&A (as defined below) that was previously in cost of revenue. These positives were partly offset by a below-average labor disruption gross margin. Net of these factors, our year-over-year gross margin declined26% primarily due to a lower margin in our Nurse and Allied and Other Workforce Solutions segments. Gross margin by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was 27.2% and 27.7% for nurse and allied solutions, 29.2% and 30.3% for locum tenens solutions, and 52.7% and 55.3% for other workforce solutions, respectively. The other workforce solutions segment decrease was primarily due to the change in sales mix resulting from the additionsdiscrete tax benefit of PDA/LFT and MedPartners during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $220.3 million, representing 20.4% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $198.7 million, representing 20.2% of revenue, for the same period in 2017. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to $7.5 million of additional SG&A expenses from the PDA/LFT and MedPartners acquisitions, $0.9 million increase in acquisition and integration costs, $2.1 million lower actuarial-based decrease in our professional liability reserves as compared to the same period in 2017 and other expenses associated with our revenue growth.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Amortization expense increased 18% to $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $9.2 million for the same period in 2017, with the increase attributable to additional amortization expenses related to the intangible assets acquired in the PDA/LFT and MedPartners acquisitions. Depreciation expense increased 19% to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $6.4 million for the same period in 2017, 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 $11.7$4.6 million during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018 as comparedMarch 31, 2019 relating to $10.1 million for the same period in 2017. The increase is primarily due to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees in connection with the refinancing of our prior credit facilities during the first quarter of 2018equity awards vested and a higher average debt outstanding balance for the six months ended June 30, 2018, which resulted from borrowings

used to finance the MedPartners acquisition. See additional information in the accompanying Note (6), “New Credit Agreement.”
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to income tax expense of $35.1 million for the same period in 2017, reflecting effective income tax rates of 20%exercised and 36% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The difference in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) which reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, effective 2018. In addition, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $2.7$1.5 million recorded by the Company during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 relating to adjust for the tax treatment of fair value changes in the cash surrender value of its Company Owned Life Insurance ("COLI") as of June 30, 2018. See accompanying Note (8), "Income Taxes" for discussion of immaterial tax correction related to prior periods. The decrease in the rate was partially offset by provisions of the Tax Act which disallowed certain fringe benefits, meals and entertainment deductions and performance based compensation for covered employees (Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the top three highest paid executive officers). We currently estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 24% for 2018. The 20% effective tax rate in the six months ended June 30, 2018 differs from our estimated annual effective income tax rate of 24% primarily due to a discrete tax benefit of $5.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 relating to the application of ASU 2016-09, “Stock Compensation - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” and the net tax benefit recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2018 relating to COLI as discussed above. We have described ASU 2016-09 in further detail in “Item 8.

Historically, our primary liquidity requirements have been for acquisitions, working capital requirements, and debt service under our credit facilities and the Notes. We have funded these requirements through internally generated cash flow and funds borrowed under our credit facilities. During the third quarter of 2017, we paid off the remaining balance of our term debt. On February 9, 2018, we replaced our then-existing credit agreement with our New Credit Agreement (as defined below). As of June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, $155$150 million was drawn with $234.8$234.7 million of available credit under the Senior Credit Facility (as defined below) and the aggregate principal amount of our 5.125% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) outstanding equaled $325.0 million. We describe in further detail our New Credit Agreement, under which our Senior Credit Facility is governed, and the Notes in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note (8)(7), Notes Payable and Credit Agreement” of our 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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 New 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 sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $125.9$36.2 million, compared to $70.0$59.7 million for the same period in 2017.2018. The increasedecrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to (1) improveddeclined operating results, (2) a decreaseincreases in accounts receivable between periods due to timing of collections,and subcontractor receivables, and (3) a decreaseincreases in income taxestax receivable, prepaid expenses and (4)other current assets. The overall decrease was partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, as well as accrued compensation and benefits and other liabilities between periods due to timing of payments. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease in other liabilities between periods. Our Days Sales Outstanding (“DSO”) was 5862 days at June 30, 2018, 63March 31, 2019, 64 days at December 31, 2017,2018, and 6258 days at June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $239.0$36.2 million, compared to $19.69.6 million for the same period in 2017.2018. The increase was primarily due to $218.0$29.5 million used for acquisitions during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, as compared to no cash paid for acquisitions during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. The increase was partially offset by net proceeds of restricted investments related to our captive insurance company of $4.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. See additional information in the accompanying Note (2), “Acquisitions.” Capital expenditures were $16.5$7.4 million and $11.7$5.7 million for the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 was $118.7$1.8 million, primarily due to borrowings of $195.0$30.0 million under the Senior Credit Facility (as defined below), partially offset by (1) the repayment of $40.0 million under the Senior Credit facility, (2) $20.9$17.9 million paid in connection with the repurchase of our common stock (3) $2.3 million payment of financing costs in connection with the new credit agreement, (4) $1.7 million for prior acquisition contingent consideration earn-out payments, and (5) $11.4(2) $10.3 million in cash paid for shares withheld for payroll taxes resulting from the vesting of employee equity awards. Net cash used in financing activities during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was $38.9$15.0 million, primarily due to (1) $2.3 million payment of financing costs in connection with the repayment of $25.9 million under our then-existing term loan,new credit agreement, (2) $3.7$1.7 million for prior acquisitionsacquisition contingent consideration earn-out payments, and (3) $9.0$10.9 million in cash paid for shares withheld for payroll taxes resulting from the vesting of employee equity awards.

New Credit Agreement


On February 9, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with several lenders to provide for a $400 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) to replace our then-existing Credit Agreement. The Senior Credit Facility includes a $50 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $50 million sublimit for swingline loans. Our obligations under the New Credit Agreement and the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at floating rates, at our option, based upon either LIBOR plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% or a base rate plus a spread of 0.00% to 1.00%. The applicable spread is determined quarterly based upon our consolidated net leverage ratio. The Senior Credit Facility is available for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the Senior Credit Facility is February 9, 2023.

In connection with obtaining the New Credit Agreement, we incurred $2.3 million in fees paid to lenders and other third parties, which were capitalized and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Senior Credit Facility. In addition, we wrote off $0.6 million of unamortized financing fees during sixthe three months ended June 30, 2018March 31, 2019 related to our prior credit facilities. To help finance the MedPartners acquisition, we borrowed $195.0 million from the Senior Credit Facility in April 2018. We paid down $40$45 million during the second quarter of 2018. The acquisition is more fully described in Note (2) to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, “Acquisitions.”
 Letters of Credit
 At June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, we maintained outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $12.9$17.6 million as collateral in relation to our workers’ compensation insurance agreements and a corporate office lease agreement. Of the $12.9$17.6 million of outstanding letters of credit, we have collateralized $2.7$2.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and the remaining amounts are collateralized by the Senior Credit Facility. Outstanding standby letters of credit at December 31, 20172018 totaled $22.0$17.6 million.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 At June 30, 2018March 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangement that has or is reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes occurred during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, other than the borrowings under the New Credit Agreement described in the accompanying Note (6)(2), “New Credit Agreement” and the associated borrowings,“Acquisitions,” 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 20172018 Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases.2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard requires organizations that lease assets to recognize the assets and liabilities created by those leases. The standard also will require disclosures to help investorsintroduces new accounting models for determining and otherrecognizing credit losses on certain financial statement users better understand the amount, timing,instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The ASU becomesis effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. We are in the process of analyzing the impact of this standard and evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements. This includes reviewing current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements under the new standard. We expect to complete the evaluation and validate results by the end of the third quarter of 2018. We expect to complete the evaluation of the impact of the accounting
and disclosure requirements on our business processes, controls and systems by the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. The FASB recently issued guidance that provides an optional transition method for adoption of this standard, which allows organizations to initially apply the new requirements at the effective date, recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, and continue to apply the legacy guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 840, Leases, including its disclosure requirements, in the comparative periods presented.2019. We will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2019,2020 and plan to applyare currently evaluating the optional transition method and may elect to apply optional practical expedients. The adoption of this standard will result in a significant increase toimpact on our consolidated balance sheet for lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, which has not yet been quantified.financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying“Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The standard simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to compute the implied fair value of goodwill to measure impairment. Instead, any goodwill impairment will equal the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. Further, the guidance eliminates the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. This standard is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment test in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. While we continue to assess the timing of adopting this standard, we do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our 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 and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. We will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and are currently evaluating the effect that adopting it will have on our disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract.” The standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation

costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. This standard is effective on a prospective or retrospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and are currently evaluating the effect that adopting it will have on our consolidated financial statements.
There have been no other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that are expected to materially affect our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

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, 2018,March 31, 2019, 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, 2018.March 31, 2019. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, 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, 2018March 31, 2019 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, 2018March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
