Quarterly Business Segment Highlights

Nurse and Allied Staffing

Revenue from Nurse and Allied Staffing increased 10% year-over-year and 3% sequentially. Contribution income in this segment was $15.1 million, up from $11.2 million in the prior year. The year-over-year increase in segment revenue and contribution income resulted from organic growth, improved margins, and the impact of the Mediscan acquisition. Average field FTEs increased to 6,792 from 6,340 in the prior year. Revenue per FTE per day was $259 compared to $253 in the prior year, driven primarily by improved pricing.

Physician Staffing

Revenue from Physician Staffing decreased 10% year-over-year and 12% sequentially, primarily due to a decrease in volume. Contribution income was $2.7 million, up from $2.5 million in the prior year resulting from improvement in gross margins and lower SG&A costs, partly offset by volume declines. Compared to the prior year, total days filled decreased to 18,131 from 19,873 and revenue per day filled decreased to $1,392 from $1,485 due to the mix of business.

Other Human Capital Management Services

Revenue from Other Human Capital Management Services was $3.8 million, a decrease of 64% year-over-year and 49% sequentially as a result of the divestiture of the education seminars business. Contribution income was $0.1 million, compared to $0.6 million in the prior year.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

Cash flow used in operating activities was $0.6 million compared to $1.0 million used in the same period of the prior year. Cash flow provided by operating activities for the full year was $18.2 million compared to $4.1 million used in the prior year. At December 31, 2015, the Company had $2.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $8.0 million drawn on its senior credit facility, and $55.0 million of subordinated debt at par. The Company had $40.1 million of availability under the senior credit facility at December 31, 2015.

Outlook for First Quarter and Full Year 2016

		Q1 2016 Range		Year-over-Year
				Change
Revenue		$195 million - $198 million		5% - 6%
Gross profit margin		25.0% - 25.5%		(30) - 20 bps
Adjusted EBITDA margin		3.7% - 4.2%		40 - 90 bps
Adjusted EPS		$0.06 - $0.08		$0.03 - $0.05
		FY 2016 Range		Year-over-Year
				Change
Revenue		$820 million - $840 million		7% - 9%
Adjusted EBITDA margin		5.5% - 6.0%		60 - 110 bps

In addition to providing quarterly guidance for the first quarter, the Company also is issuing full year 2016 estimates for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA margin. The full year estimate for Adjusted EBIITDA margin reflects approximately $4 - $5 million in planned investments, primarily for upgrades to existing IT related platforms, with approximately $1 million expected to be incurred in the first quarter. The quarterly guidance reflects approximately 80 basis points for costs associated with the annual payroll tax reset and 50 basis points for the impact from incremental investments. Excluding the combined impact from those costs, would imply an underlying Adjusted EBITDA margin of between 5.0 - 5.5% for the quarter, in line with our recent quarterly trends. Excluding the impact of the IT investments for the full year, our underlying Adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year would be between 6.0-6.5%.

The estimates above are based on current management expectations and, as such, are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These ranges do not include the potential impact of any future divestitures, mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations, any impairment charges or valuation allowances, any acquisition-related measurement period adjustments, or any material legal or restructuring charges.

(a) On August 31, 2015, the Company completed the sale of Cross Country Education, LLC. The Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $2.2 million related to the divestiture of the business. In addition, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $3.5 million from the reversal of valuation allowances associated with this business, resulting in an after-tax gain of $1.3 million.

(b) Acquisition and integration costs in the three months and year ended December 31, 2015 and the three months ended September 30, 2015 are primarily related to due diligence efforts for the Mediscan acquisition that closed on October 30, 2015. In the three months ended December 31, 2014, acquisition and integration costs were from the June 2014Medical Staffing Network Healthcare (MSN) acquisition, and in the year ended December 31, 2014, acquisition and integration costs were from both the MSN acquisition and the December 2013 allied healthcare staffing business acquisition. The results of these acquisitions have been included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations since their respective dates of acquisition.

(c) The fourth quarter of 2015 and 2014 include non-cash impairment charges of $2.1 million ($1.3 million after tax) and $10.0 million ($9.1 million after tax), respectively, related to Physician Staffing trade name. The tax impact on these impairment charges was fully offset by a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

(d) When applying the if-converted method to our Convertible Notes, 3,521,126 shares related to the Convertible Notes, issued in June 2014 in conjunction with the MSN acquisition, are not included in diluted weighted average shares for all of the periods presented because their effect was anti-dilutive.

(e) Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders before depreciation, amortization, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), acquisition and integration costs, restructuring costs, loss on derivative liability, loss on sale of business, other expense (income), net, impairment charges, equity compensation and 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 (loss) attributable to common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as one performance measure in its annual cash incentive program for certain members of its management team. In addition, management monitors Adjusted EBITDA for planning purposes. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, closely matches the operating measure typically used in the Company's credit facilities in calculating various ratios. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, is useful to investors when evaluating the Company's performance as it excludes certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by the Company's consolidated revenue.

(f) Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders per diluted share (reported EPS) before the diluted EPS impact of acquisition and integration costs, restructuring costs, impairment charges, loss on sale of business and loss on derivative liability. 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. For the three months ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014, the adjustments to reported diluted EPS had the effect of converting the net loss to net income. As a result, potentially dilutive shares that were excluded in the unadjusted per share calculation have been included in the adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted.

(g) Segment data provided is in accordance with the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC.

(h) Effective January 1, 2015, we reclassified a portion of our business from the Physician Staffing segment to the Nurse and Allied Staffing segment. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The entire Mediscan business has been reported in Nurse and Allied Staffing.

(i) Contribution income is defined as income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization, loss on sale of business, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring costs, impairment charges and corporate expenses not specifically identified to a reporting segment. Contribution income is a financial measure used by management when assessing segment performance.

(j) FTEs represent the average number of Nurse and Allied Staffing contract personnel on a full-time equivalent basis.

(k) Average revenue per FTE per day is calculated by dividing the Nurse and Allied Staffing revenue by the number of days worked in the respective periods. Nurse and Allied Staffing revenue also includes revenue from permanent placement of nurses.

(l) Days filled is calculated by dividing the total hours filled during the period by 8 hours.

(m) Revenue per day filled is calculated by dividing the actual revenue invoiced by Physician Staffing by days filled for the period presented and it excludes permanent placement and accrued revenue.
