| (a) |
| Acquisition-related contingent consideration represents the fair value and accretion adjustments to the contingent consideration liabilities for prior acquisitions, primarily the Mediscan acquisition. |
| (b) |
| Acquisition and integration costs are related to the Advantage RN, LLC acquisition that closed effective July 1, 2017 and the American Personnel, Inc. acquisition that closed effective December 1, 2018, as well as expenses incurred for potential transactions. |
| (c) |
| Restructuring costs are comprised of severance and lease consolidations-related expenses incurred as part of separate and discrete cost savings and transformation initiatives. |
| (d) |
| Impairment charges are noncash charges related to the goodwill and trade names of the physician staffing segment. |
| (e) |
| Loss on early extinguishment of debt is related 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 an optional prepayment on the Company's term loans of $7.5 million made in the first quarter of 2019. |
| (f) |
| Due to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 97 and 148 shares (in thousands) were excluded from diluted weighted average shares. |
| (g) |
| 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 (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related contingent consideration, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring costs, impairment charges, gain on derivative liability, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on sale of business, other income, net, equity compensation, applicant tracking system costs, legal settlement charges, 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. |
| (h) |
| Applicant tracking system costs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 unallocated corporate overhead in segment data. |
| (i) |
| 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-related contingent consideration, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring costs, impairment charges, gain on derivative liability, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on sale of business, applicant tracking system costs, legal settlement charges, 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. |
| (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-related contingent consideration, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring costs, 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. Prior periods have been recalculated to include the impact of the accrued revenue. |
| (q) |
| Revenue per day filled is calculated by dividing revenue as reported by days filled for the period presented. Prior periods have been recalculated to include the impact of the accrued revenue and days. |
