AMN revenue drops 27.1% in Q1 amid weak nurse staffing demand

May 10, 2024

AMN Healthcare Services (NYSE: AMN) reported positive trends in some business lines during the first quarter, but revenue fell 27.1% year over year to $820.9 million. The healthcare staffing firm reported declines in its nurse and allied solutions segment and in its technology and workforce solutions segment.

The firm noted revenue was in line with expectations.

“While we see healthy trends in some key businesses in our diversified set of solutions, this is overshadowed by weaker demand and a continued competitive environment in our largest business, nurse staffing,” President and CEO Cary Grace said in a press release.

Nurse and allied solutions revenue fell 37.0% year over year to $519.3 million. Within this segment, travel nurse revenue decreased by 44% year over year, while allied revenue fell 13%.

Physician and leadership solutions revenue rose 13.9% year over year with locum tenens revenue up 36% to $145 million. Growth in locum tenens came primarily from the MSDR acquisition. The company also reported its physician and leadership search businesses saw revenue fall 29% year over year.

Technology and workforce solutions revenue fell 17.1% to $112.8 million with vendor management systems revenue falling 46% year over year to $29 million. However, language services revenue rose 16% to $71 million.
