Medical Staffing Network Holdings Announces Second Quarter 2008 Operating Results
Revenue Increased 52% Over Prior Year Quarter; Revenue Essentially Flat Sequentially
BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Medical Staffing Network Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: MRN) today reported revenue of $143.0 million for the second quarter of 2008, an increase of 52.2% from the second quarter of 2007 revenue of $94.0 million. Net loss for the second quarter of 2008 was $52.7 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $1.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007. Included in the net loss for the second quarter of 2008 were pretax non-cash impairment charges to goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets of $59.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
Commenting on the second quarter’s results, Robert J. Adamson, chairman and chief executive officer, stated, “During the second quarter, despite the continuing effects of economic headwinds that suppress growth in hospital admissions, our quarterly revenue was essentially flat on a sequential basis. As a result of the acquisitions made in 2007 and the double-digit organic revenue growth in our allied health staffing division, our revenue increased by more than 50% year-over-year, which has improved our operating results. In June, we reduced our operating overhead in excess of $5 million annually. Assuming industry conditions do not deteriorate further, these cost reductions could yield improved operating leverage in subsequent quarters.”
Adamson concluded, “We continue to have success in improving our bill-to-pay rate spread. As a result of this focus, our gross profit margin increased by 40 basis points year-over-year. Improved margins, coupled with double-digit organic revenue growth from our allied health staffing division and the reduction of operating expenses, are the foundation for our optimism that our third quarter results will show continued improvement.”
Kevin S. Little, president and chief financial officer, commented, “We recorded impairment charges to goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets as a result of the challenging industry dynamics currently being experienced, affecting both quarterly results and our assessments of future growth rates of the healthcare staffing industry. These charges are non-cash and have no effect on our liquidity or debt covenants. In fact, during the second quarter, we were able to reduce our DSO by three days to 53 days. This reduction, combined with cash generated by operations of nearly $9.0 million for the quarter, enabled us to repay all outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of the end of quarter. At June 29, 2008, we had more than $22 million immediately available for borrowing and $4.5 million in cash on hand.”
Gross profit was $35.7 million for the second quarter of 2008, an increase of 54.9% from the second quarter of 2007 gross profit of $23.0 million. Gross margin for the second quarter of 2008 was 24.9%, an increase from 24.5% for the second quarter of 2007. The 40 basis point year-over-year improvement was primarily attributable to a continued focus on gross margin expansion. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $29.9 million, or 20.9% of revenues, in the second quarter of 2008 as compared with $19.3 million, or 20.5% of revenues, for the comparable prior year period.
Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million, other charges of $0.2 million relating to severance payments made in the second quarter and the aforementioned impairment charges, the Company’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (AEBITDA) for the second quarter of 2008 increased 60.0% to $6.0 million as compared with $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2007. Excluding the aforementioned impairment charges and assuming a 40% effective tax rate, adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2008 would have been $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, as compared with $1.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2007.
Revenues were $288.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2008, an increase of 56.3% from revenues of $184.5 million for the comparable prior year period. Net loss for the six months ended June 29, 2008, was $52.0 million, or $1.71 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Included in the net loss for the six months ended June 29, 2008, were pretax non-cash impairment charges to goodwill and other indefinite lived intangible assets of $59.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively.
Gross profit was $70.7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2008, an increase of 60.5% from the gross profit of $44.1 million for the comparable prior year period. Gross margin for the six months ended June 29, 2008, was 24.5%, an increase from the gross margin of 23.9% for the comparable prior year period. The 60 basis point year-over-year improvement was primarily attributable to a continued focus on gross margin expansion. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $59.2 million, or 20.5% of revenues, for the six months ended June 29, 2008, as compared with $39.1 million, or 21.2% of revenues, for the comparable prior year period.
Excluding stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million, other charges of $0.5 million (of which $0.2 million related to the second quarter severance payments and $0.3 million related to the duplicative costs incurred in the first quarter in connection with the termination of an outsourcing initiative) and the aforementioned impairment charges, the Company’s AEBITDA for the six months ended June 29, 2008, increased 145.6% to $12.1 million as compared with $4.9 million for the comparable prior year period. Excluding the aforementioned impairment charges and assuming a 40% effective tax rate, adjusted net income for the six months ended June 29, 2008, would have been $1.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, as compared with $1.5 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the six months ended July 1, 2007.

Reasons for Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Statements made in this release include non-GAAP financial measures. Such information is provided as additional information, not as an alternative to our consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and is intended to enhance an overall understanding of our current financial performance. We believe the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management, investors and prospective investors by excluding certain charges and other amounts that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. These non-GAAP measures are included to provide management, our investors and prospective investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of our ongoing operations and to provide a more consistent basis for comparison between quarters. One of the non-GAAP financial measures presented is AEBITDA which consists of net income (loss) before income taxes, interest, loss on early extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization, restructuring and other charges, outsourcing implementation costs and non-cash impairment of goodwill, which might not be calculated in the same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The financial statement table included within the condensed consolidated statements of operations includes a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
This press release includes certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include all statements other than those made solely with respect to historical fact. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the registrant’s actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

Additional information concerning these and other important factors can be found within the registrant’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(1) Certain measurements are being provided as management believes they are a useful supplement to actual operating performance and for comparison to prior year periods. These measurements are not intended to represent actual operating results and they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These measurements have certain material limitations as compared to the use of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We compensate for these limitations by using these measurements as only one of several comparative tools, together with GAAP measurements, to assist in the evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to prior year periods. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(2) The provision for income taxes for the three months and years ended December 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, is being calculated assuming there was no need to record a valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred income tax assets. As such, an effective income tax rate of 40% was used in calculating the adjusted net income for both the three and six months ended June 29, 2008 and July 1, 2007. |
