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, adjusted EBITDA margin, 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 GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures are provided for consistency and comparability to prior year results; furthermore, management believes such non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors when evaluating the Company’s performance, as such non-GAAP financial measures 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.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained in this press release that are not statements of historical fact, including statements relating to our future results (including business trends), may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are intended to provide management’s current expectations for the future of the Company based on current expectations and assumptions relating to the Company’s business, the economy, and other future conditions. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified through the use of words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “plans,” “projects,” “expects,” “expectations,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “predicts,” “targets,” “prospects,” “strategy,” “signs,” and other words of similar meaning in connection with the discussion of future performance, plans, actions, or events. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: (i) the timing to consummate the proposed Merger, (ii) the risk that a condition of closing of the proposed Merger may not be satisfied or that the closing of the proposed Merger might otherwise not occur, (iii) the risk that a regulatory approval that may be required for the proposed Merger is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated, (iv) the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues, (v) risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed Merger, (vi) the risk that any announcements relating to the proposed Merger could have adverse effects on the market price of Company’s common stock, (vii) the risk that the proposed Merger and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of the Company to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with its suppliers and customers, (viii) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, including in circumstances requiring the Company to pay a termination fee, (ix) the risk that competing offers will be made, unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the Merger, (x) potential litigation relating to the Merger that could be instituted against the parties to the Merger Agreement or their respective directors, managers, or officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto, (xi) worldwide economic or political changes that affect the markets that the Company’s businesses serve, which could have an effect on demand for the Company’s services and impact the Company’s profitability, (xii) effects from global pandemics, epidemics, or other public health crises, (xiii) changes in marketplace conditions, such as alternative modes of healthcare delivery, reimbursement and customer needs, (xiv) disruptions in the global credit and financial markets, including diminished liquidity and credit availability, changes in international trade agreements, including tariffs and trade restrictions, foreign currency volatility, swings in consumer confidence and spending, and the overall macroeconomic environment, (xv) the functioning of our information systems and the effect of cyber security risks and cyber incidents on our business, (xvi) demand for the healthcare services that we provide, both nationally and in the regions in which we operate, (xvii) leadership transitions and retention of key employees, (xviii) our ability to attract and retain qualified nurses, physicians, and other healthcare personnel, (xix) costs and availability of short-term housing for our travel healthcare professionals, (xx) the effect of existing or future government regulation and federal and state legislative and enforcement initiatives on our business, and (xxi) outcomes of regulatory and legal proceedings, claims, and investigations. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Investors, therefore, are cautioned against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Additional information regarding the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is available in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the risks and uncertainties identified in Part I, Item 1A – Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The list of factors is not intended to be exhaustive.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. Except as may be required by applicable law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this press release or that may from time to time be made by or on behalf of the Company.

(a) 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, certain severance costs, legal and other losses, customer bankruptcy loss, 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, interest income, 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 (loss) 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. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, closely matches the operating measure as defined by the Company’s credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by the Company’s consolidated revenue. |
|
(b) Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2025 includes $29.4 million of expense related to the establishment of nonrecurring valuation allowances on the Company’s deferred tax assets. |
|
(c) Acquisition and integration-related (income) costs relate to the Aya Merger, and include the Aya Merger termination fee of $20.0 million that was paid to the Company in December 2025, and associated fees paid by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2025. |
|
(d) Restructuring costs were primarily comprised of employee termination costs, lease-related exit costs, and reorganization costs as part of planned cost savings initiatives. |
|
(e) Severance costs – executive transition for the three months ended March 31, 2026 relate primarily to the separation of two officers from the Company during the period and consist of various severance payments and associated fees. Severance costs – executive transition for the three months ended December 31, 2025 relate to the former Chief Executive Officer’s separation from the Company in December 2025 and consist of various severance payments. |
|
(f) Includes legal costs and other settlement charges as presented on the consolidated statements of operations and losses pertaining to matters outside the normal course of operations. |
|
(g) Impairment charges for the three months ended December 31, 2025 include non-cash goodwill impairment charges related to the Company’s Nurse and Allied and Physician Staffing segments, primarily triggered by the fourth quarter decline in the Company’s equity market capitalization. |
|
(h) System conversion costs include enterprise resource planning system costs related to the upgrading and integrating of our middle and back-office platforms, with certain development costs capitalized and amortized in accordance with the Company’s policies. |
|
(i) Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders per diluted share before the diluted EPS impact of acquisition and integration-related (benefits) costs, restructuring (benefits) costs, certain severance costs, legal and other losses, customer bankruptcy loss, impairment charges, gain or loss on derivative, loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on sale of business, system conversion costs, and nonrecurring income tax adjustments. Adjusted EPS is not and 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 Adjusted EPS 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 than EPS. Quarterly non-GAAP adjustment may vary due to rounding. |
|
(j) Nonrecurring income tax adjustment for the three months ended December 31, 2025 includes $29.4 million of expense related to the establishment of nonrecurring valuation allowances on the Company’s deferred tax assets. |
|
(k) During the quarter, the Company is in a valuation allowance position with respect to all domestic deferred tax assets other than certain deferred tax assets expected to be realized. As a result, the non-GAAP adjustments presented above are not materially tax effected, as the underlying items do not generate a corresponding tax benefit under GAAP in the current period. |
|
(l) Segment data is provided in accordance with the Segment Reporting Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification. |
|
(m) Contribution income is defined as income (loss) from operations before depreciation and amortization, acquisition and integration-related (benefits) costs, restructuring (benefits) costs, legal and other (gains) losses, impairment charges, and corporate overhead. Contribution income is a financial measure used by management when assessing segment performance. |
|
(n) 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 Company-wide projects (initiatives). |
|
(o) 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. |
|
(p) FTEs represent the average number of Nurse and Allied Staffing contract personnel on a full-time equivalent basis. |
|
(q) Average revenue per FTE per day is calculated by dividing the Nurse and Allied Staffing revenue, excluding permanent placement, per FTE by the number of days worked in the respective periods. |
|
(r) Days filled is calculated by dividing the total hours invoiced during the period, including an estimate for the impact of accrued revenue, by eight hours. |
|
(s) Revenue per day filled is calculated by dividing revenue as reported by days filled for the period presented. |
