Third Quarter Business Highlights
“Though the market remains challenging, especially for nursing, we are pleased with the growth in other lines of business like physician staffing, education, and homecare staffing,” said John A. Martins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Country Healthcare. He continued, “I am especially pleased with our traction in the vendor neutral space, leveraging Intellify®, to secure several new clients this quarter. With our strong balance sheet and positive cash flows, we are well-positioned to continue making investments that lead to long-term profitable growth.”
Third quarter consolidated revenue was $442.3 million, a decrease of 30% year-over-year and 18% sequentially. Consolidated gross profit margin was 22.0%, down 60 basis points year-over-year and 80 basis points sequentially. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $12.8 million compared to $34.8 million in the prior year and $21.3 million in the prior quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.36 compared to $0.93 in the prior year and $0.60 in the prior quarter. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was $27.2 million or 6.2% of revenue, as compared with $63.8 million or 10.0% of revenue in the prior year, and $44.4 million or 8.2% of revenue in the prior quarter. Adjusted EPS was $0.39 compared to $1.07 in the prior year and $0.69 in the prior quarter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, consolidated revenue was $1.6 billion, a decrease of 26% year-over-year. Consolidated gross profit margin was 22.4%, flat year-over-year. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $63.6 million, or $1.78 per diluted share, compared to $149.7 million, or $3.97 per diluted share, in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $123.8 million or 7.7% of revenue, as compared with $244.7 million or 11.2% of revenue in the prior year. Adjusted EPS was $1.92 compared to $4.17 in the prior year.
Quarterly Business Segment Highlights
Nurse and Allied Staffing
Revenue was $396.6 million, a decrease of 35% year-over-year and 20% sequentially. Contribution income was $39.2 million, a decrease from $77.8 million year-over-year and $56.5 million sequentially. Average field contract personnel on a full-time equivalent (FTE) basis were 9,849 as compared with 12,524 in the prior year and 11,385 in the prior quarter. Revenue per FTE per day was $434 compared to $526 in the prior year and $474 in the prior quarter. As expected, volume declined as clients continue to right-size their needs, and travel bill rates continued to normalize.
Physician Staffing
Revenue was $45.7 million, an increase of 92% year-over-year and increased 21% excluding the impact from acquisitions. Contribution income was $2.6 million, an increase from $0.8 million year-over-year and a decrease from $3.5 million sequentially. Total days filled were 23,004 as compared with 13,219 in the prior year and 23,826 in the prior quarter. Revenue per day filled was $1,986 as compared with $1,803 in the prior year and $1,902 in the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase in revenue was driven in part by an increase in volume in several specialties.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights
Net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $70.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $236.4 million as compared to $129.7 million in the prior year.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This press release and the accompanying financial statement tables reference non-GAAP financial measures, such as gross profit margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EPS. Such non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information and should not be considered substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Such non-GAAP financial measures are provided for consistency and comparability to prior year results; furthermore, management believes they are useful to investors when evaluating the Company's performance as they exclude certain items that management believes are not indicative of the Company's future operating performance. Pro forma measures, if applicable, are adjusted to include the results of our acquisitions, and exclude the results of divestments, as if the transactions occurred in the beginning of the periods mentioned. Such non-GAAP financial measures may differ materially from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. The financial statement tables that accompany this press release include a reconciliation of each non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and a more detailed discussion of each financial measure; as such, the financial statement tables should be read in conjunction with the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures.
In addition, forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS for fiscal 2023 exclude potential charges or gains that may be recorded during the fiscal year, including among other things, the potential impact of any future divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other business combinations, changes in debt structure, or future significant share repurchases. We have not attempted to provide reconciliations of such forward-looking non-GAAP earnings guidance to the comparable GAAP measure, as permitted by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, because the impact and timing of these potential charges or gains is inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and is unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, the Company believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors. Such items could have a substantial impact on GAAP measures of our financial performance.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, this press release contains statements relating to our future results (including certain projections and business trends) that are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are subject to the "safe harbor" created by those sections. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are predictive in nature and/or depend upon or refer to future events. Words such as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "estimates", "suggests", "appears", "seeks", "will", "could", and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results and performance to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the overall macroeconomic environment, including increased inflation and interest rates, demand for the healthcare services we provide, both nationally and in the regions in which we operate, our ability to attract and retain qualified nurses, physicians and other healthcare personnel, costs and availability of short-term housing for our travel healthcare professionals, the functioning of our information systems, the effect of cyber security risks and cyber incidents on our business, the effect of existing or future government regulation and federal and state legislative and enforcement initiatives on our business, our customers’ ability to pay us for our services, our ability to successfully implement our acquisition and development strategies, including our ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses and realize synergies from such acquisitions, the effect of liabilities and other claims asserted against us, the effect of competition in the markets we serve, our ability to successfully defend the Company, its subsidiaries, and its officers and directors on the merits of any lawsuit or determine its potential liability, if any, and other factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed and updated in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC. You should consult any further disclosures the Company makes on related subjects in its filings with the SEC.
Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date of this press release. There can be no assurance that (i) we have correctly measured or identified all of the factors affecting our business or the extent of these factors’ likely impact, (ii) the available information with respect to these factors on which such analysis is based is complete or accurate, (iii) such analysis is correct, or (iv) our strategy, which is based in part on this analysis, will be successful. Except as may be required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements. All references to "the Company", "we", "us", "our", or "Cross Country" in this press release mean Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, acquisition and integration-related (benefits) costs, restructuring (benefits) costs, legal settlements and fees, impairment charges, gain or loss on derivative, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets, gain or loss on lease termination, gain or loss on sale of business, other expense (income), net, equity compensation, and system conversion costs. Adjusted EBITDA is not and 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 stockholders 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.
