●
|
Revenue to be in the $119.0 million to $121.0 million range.
|
●
|
Gross profit margin to be in the range of 26.5% to 27.0%.
|
●
|
Adjusted EBITDA to be in the 3.5% to 4.5% range. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined in the accompanying financial statement tables.
|
●
|
Earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.00 to $0.02. The preceding EPS guidance is based on an estimated effective tax rate of 50%. Historically, the Company’s gross profit margin declines sequentially from the fourth quarter to the first quarter due to factors such as the reset of payroll taxes, as well as two less days in the first quarter of the year. This combination results in a sequential decrease in earnings estimated at approximately $0.04 per diluted share in the first quarter.

|
(b)
|
Impairment charges in the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, relate to the impairment of trademarks acquired in the Company's MDA acquisition, of which $10.0 million was for a trademark in the Company's physician staffing business segment and $0.7 million was for a trademark in the Company's nurse and allied staffing business segment. Impairment charges in the three months and year ended December 31, 2009 relate to an impairment of a specific trademark and database in the Company's clinical trial services business segment.
|
(c)
|
Legal settlement charge relates to an agreement to settle a class action lawsuit (Maureen Petray and Carina Higareda v. MedStaff, Inc.).
|
(d)
|
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure, is defined as (loss) income from operations before depreciation, amortization, non-cash impairment charges, a legal settlement charge related to a class action lawsuit (named above), and non-cash equity compensation. 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 (loss) income from operations 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, including compliance with its debt covenants. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, closely matches the operating measure used in the Company's Debt Leverage Ratio and Minimum Fixed Charges Ratio as defined by its Credit Agreement. 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.
|
(e)
|
Adjusted pretax income, Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per diluted share, non-GAAP financial measures, are defined by pretax income, net income and earnings per diluted share before the non-cash impairment charges and a legal settlement charge related to a class action lawsuit (see footnote c above). Adjusted pretax income, Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per diluted share should not be considered a measure of financial performance under GAAP and have been provided for consistency and comparability of the 2010 results with the prior periods. Management believes such a measure provides a picture of the Company's results that is more comparable among periods since it excludes the impact of items that may recur occasionally, but tend to be irregular as to timing, thereby distorting comparisons between periods.
|
(f)
|
Segment data provided is in accordance with the Segment Reporting Topic of the FASB ASC.
|
(g)
|
Defined as income from operations before depreciation, amortization, 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.
|
(h)
|
FTEs represent the average number of nurse and allied contract staffing personnel on a full-time equivalent basis.
|
(i)
|
Days worked is calculated by multiplying the FTEs by the number of days during the respective period.
|
(j)
|
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.
|
(k)
|
Days filled is calculated by dividing the total hours filled during the period by 8 hours.
|
(l)
|
Revenue per day filled is calculated by dividing the applicable revenue generated by the Company's physician staffing segment by days filled for the period presented.
