Outlook for Third Quarter 2020

The guidance below applies to management’s expectations for the third quarter of 2020.

	Q3 2020 Range		Year-over-Year		Sequential
			Change		Change
Revenue	$170 million - $180 million		(19)% - (14)%		(22)% - (17)%
Gross Profit Margin	23.8% - 24.3%		(60) bps - (10) bps		40 bps - 90 bps
Adjusted EBITDA	$4.0 million - $6.0 million		(45)% - (17)%		(66)% - (48)%
Adjusted EPS	$(0.06) - $(0.02)		$(0.11) - $(0.07)		$(0.22) - $(0.18)

The Company continues to assess the impacts from COVID-19 on its operations, which were significant in the second quarter, and are expected to continue into the third quarter. As a result of the volatility and uncertainty from the pandemic, the Company has decided to widen the guidance ranges for the third quarter. Though the Company does not provide full year guidance, management expects to see sequential improvement in Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter, given the most recent trend in demand.

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. The guidance also reflects the impacts from certain cost actions the Company has identified, and actual results may differ depending on timing and further actions it may take. See accompanying Non-GAAP financial measures and tables below.

(a)	Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) 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 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 prior acquisitions, costs incurred for potential transactions, and accretion and 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 June 30, 2019, we incurred legal settlement charges pertaining to the resolution of a medical malpractice lawsuit in excess of carrier limits as well as a California wage and hour class action settlement. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we incurred $1.6 million in legal fees related to an ongoing legal matter outside the normal course of operations, the majority of which were incurred during the second quarter.
(e)	The three and six months ended June 30, 2020 included non-cash impairment charges of $15.0 million, which was comprised of $10.5 million related to goodwill and other intangible assets for the Search business and $4.5 million related to right-of-use assets and related property and equipment in connection with leases that were vacated during the quarter. Impairment charges in 2019 related to trade name impairment of $14.5 million related to Nurse and Allied Staffing resulting from the Company's rebranding initiative. Rebranding impairments and accelerated amortization related to finite-lived trade names in connection with the rebranding initiatives.
(f)	Loss on early extinguishment of debt relates to the write-off of debt issuance costs as a result of an optional reduction in borrowing capacity in the revolving credit facility exercised in the first quarter of 2019, and optional prepayments on the Company's term loan of $7.5 million and $5.0 million made in the first and second quarters of 2019, respectively.
(g)	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.
(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 June 30, 2020, June 30, 2019, and March 31, 2020, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 76, 117, 455, 265, and 107 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.
(k)	Contribution income is defined as income or 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 the Nurse and Allied Staffing revenue per FTE by the number of days worked in the respective periods. Nurse and Allied Staffing revenue also includes revenue from the permanent placement of nurses.
(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.
