ON ASSIGNMENT REPORTS RESULTS FOR FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2013
Revenues up 14.7 percent Year-over-Year
EPS &
Adjusted EBITDA above Estimates
On Assignment, Inc. (NYSE: ASGN), a leading global provider of
diversified professional staffing solutions, today reported results for
the quarter ended December 31, 2013.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
-
Revenues were $423.6 million, up 14.7 percent year-over-year and 0.5
percent sequentially.
-
Adjusted Income from continuing operations (a non-GAAP measure defined
below) was $27.5 million ($0.50 per diluted share).
-
Income from continuing operations (excluding $1.5 million after tax of
acquisition and strategic planning expenses, which were not included
in our estimates) was $19.0 million ($0.35 per diluted share). Income
from continuing operations as reported (which includes the acquisition
and strategic planning expenses) was $17.4 million ($0.32 per diluted
share).
-
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure defined below) was $48.4 million,
up from $39.4 million in fourth quarter of 2012.
-
Percentage of gross profit converted into Adjusted EBITDA was 37.3
percent.
-
Closed the sale of Allied Healthcare unit (“Allied”) for $28.7 million
(a gain of $16.4 million, net-of-tax) and acquired Whitaker Medical,
LLC (“Whitaker”), a physician staffing business, and CyberCoders
Holdings, Inc. (“CyberCoders”), a permanent placement recruiting firm.
-
Leverage ratio (total indebtedness to trailing twelve months Adjusted
EBITDA) was 2.2 to 1 at December 31, 2013, down from 2.9 to 1 at
December 31, 2012.
Commenting on the results, Peter Dameris, President and Chief Executive
Officer of On Assignment, Inc., said, “We reported strong financial
performance for the quarter, completed the sale of our Allied Healthcare
unit and acquired two businesses, which we believe further solidify our
position as a top player in each of the markets we serve. Revenues,
gross profit, income from continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDA were
above the high-end of our estimates. We believe we are well positioned
and have good momentum going into 2014.”
Fourth Quarter 2013 Results
Operating results for the fourth quarter include the results of the
businesses acquired in December from the date of acquisition (December
2, 2013 for Whitaker and December 6, 2013 for CyberCoders) through the
end of the quarter. Whitaker’s results are included in the Physician
segment and CyberCoders’ results are included in the Oxford segment.
During the quarter, the Company completed the sale of certain operating
assets of its Allied Healthcare division. As a result of the sale, the
operating results of this division have been reported as discontinued
operations on a retrospective basis. Excluded from the sale was the
Company’s Healthcare Information Management practice (“HIM”). This
practice is now included in the Oxford segment.
Revenues for the quarter were $423.6 million, up 14.7 percent
year-over-year and 0.5 percent sequentially. Consolidated revenues
included $5.9 million in revenues from Whitaker and CyberCoders (the
“Acquisitions”) for the period from the date of acquisition through the
end of the quarter. Excluding results from the Acquisitions, revenues
were $417.7 million, up 13.1 percent year-over-year. Our Information
Technology businesses (Apex Systems and Oxford, which now includes
CyberCoders and HIM), grew 16.0 percent year-over-year (14.9 percent
excluding CyberCoders) and accounted for 90 percent of the revenue
growth in the quarter. Our non-Information Technology segments (Life
Sciences and Physician) were up 8.3 percent year-over-year (4.9 percent
excluding Whitaker).
Gross profit was $129.8 million, up 15.8 percent year-over-year and up
2.0 percent sequentially. This improvement was primarily due to growth
in revenues and expansion in gross margin. Gross margin for the quarter
was 30.6 percent, up from 30.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012 and
up from 30.2 percent in the third quarter of 2013. The year-over-year
expansion in gross margin was mainly attributable to a higher mix of
permanent placement revenues (2.1 percent of revenues for the quarter
compared with 1.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012) and slightly
higher contract margins. The higher mix of permanent placement revenues
in the quarter was attributable to the inclusion of CyberCoders, which
accounted for $2.7 million of the $8.9 million in permanent placement
revenues.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $90.2 million
(21.3 percent of revenues), up from $77.9 million (21.1 percent of
revenues) in the fourth quarter of 2012. SG&A expenses for the acquired
businesses were $2.8 million (0.7 percent of revenues). Excluding the
results from the acquired businesses, SG&A expenses were 20.9 percent of
revenues for the quarter down from 21.1 percent in the fourth quarter of
2012. SG&A expenses for the quarter included a (i) $1.6 million benefit
from a favorable outcome of an earn-out obligation and (ii) acquisition
and strategic planning expenses of $2.6 million.
Amortization of intangible assets was $5.9 million, compared with $6.8
million in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $5.2 million in the third
quarter of 2013. The sequential increase of $0.7 million related to
incremental amortization from the Acquisitions.
Interest expense for the quarter was $3.4 million compared with $5.4
million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Interest expense for the quarter
was comprised of interest on the credit facility of $3.1 million and
amortization of capitalized loan costs of $0.3 million. The leverage
ratio (total indebtedness to trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA) at
December 31, 2013 was 2.2 to 1, down from 2.9 to 1 at December 31, 2012.
The effective income tax rate for the quarter was 42.4 percent and the
effective rate was 41.6 percent for the full year. The sequential
increase in the effective tax rate primarily related to the portion of
acquisition expenses incurred in the quarter that are not deductible for
income tax purposes.
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization of identifiable intangible assets plus equity-based
compensation expense, acquisition-related costs and fees and expenses
related to our strategic planning initiatives), was $48.4 million, up
from $39.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA for
the quarter included a $1.6 million benefit related to a reduction in an
earn-out obligation.
Adjusted income from continuing operations was $27.5 million ($0.50 per
diluted share). Income from continuing operations (which includes
acquisition and strategic planning expenses of $2.6 million, or $1.5
million net of income taxes) was $17.4 million ($0.32 per diluted share)
compared with $12.0 million ($0.22 per diluted share) for the fourth
quarter of 2012.
Net income, which is comprised of (i) income from continuing operations
of $17.4 million, (ii) the gain on sale of discontinued operations,
net-of-tax of $16.4 million and (iii) income (loss) of discontinued
operations of ($1.4) million totaled $32.4 million ($0.59 per diluted
share) compared with $14.2 million ($0.26 per diluted share) in the
fourth quarter of 2012. Net income for the quarter included
acquisition-related costs and strategic planning expenses of $2.6
million ($1.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, after tax).
Financial Estimates for 2014
On Assignment is providing financial estimates from continuing
operations for the first quarter and full year 2014. These estimates do
not include acquisition/integration costs, strategic planning expenses
or any costs or expenses related to any future debt refinancing and
assume no deterioration in the staffing markets that On Assignment
serves.
First Quarter 2014
-
Revenues of $434.0 million to $438.0 million
-
Gross Margin of 30.6 percent to 30.9 percent
-
SG&A (excludes amortization of intangible assets) of $102.5 to $104.0
million (includes $2.7 million in depreciation and $3.6 million in
equity-based compensation expense)
-
Amortization of intangible assets of $6.2 million
-
Adjusted EBITDA of $37.0 million to $38.5 million
-
Effective tax rate of 41.5 percent
-
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations of $20.8 million to $21.6
million
-
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations per diluted share of $0.38
to $0.39
-
Income from Continuing Operations of $12.1 million to $13.0 million
-
Income from Continuing Operations per diluted share of $0.22 to $0.24
-
Diluted shares outstanding of 55.2 million
These estimates reflect normal seasonality in the business, except for
the inclement weather in January and February, which is estimated to
have an adverse effect on revenues of approximately $3 to $5 million.
These estimates assume year-over-year revenue growth in mid-teens for
Apex Systems, low teens for Oxford (includes CyberCoders and HIM
practice), mid-single digits for Life Sciences and high-teens for
Physician. On a pro forma basis (which assumes the Acquisitions occurred
at the beginning of 2013), the assumed growth rate for the Oxford
segment is flat and for the Physician segment is a low single digit
decline.
Full Year 2014
-
Revenues of $1,875.0 million to $1,905.0 million
-
Gross Margin of 31.8 percent to 32.0 percent
-
SG&A (includes amortization of intangible assets) of $450.0 to $455.0
million (includes $12.9 million in depreciation and $17.2 million in
equity-based compensation expense)
-
Amortization of intangible assets of $24.5 million
-
Adjusted EBITDA of $202.0 million to $210.0 million
-
Effective tax rate of 41.5 percent
-
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations of $113.7 million to $118.4
million
-
Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations per diluted share of $2.04
to $2.13
-
Income from Continuing Operations of $79.3 million to $84.0 million
-
Income from Continuing Operations per diluted share of $1.42 to $1.51
-
Diluted shares outstanding of 55.7 million
These estimates assume year-over-year revenue growth in low-teens for
our IT Segments (Apex Systems and Oxford) and mid-single digits for Life
Sciences and Physician. The growth rate is calculated using pro forma
2013 revenues, which assume the Acquisitions occurred at the beginning
of 2013. Pro forma 2013 revenues were approximately $1.7 billion. The
difference between adjusted income from continuing operations and income
from continuing operations is approximately $34.4 million and is
comprised of amortization of intangibles and the cash income tax shield,
less excess estimated capital expenditures over depreciation after
income taxes. These estimates do not include an estimate for
acquisition/integration costs, strategic planning expenses or costs or
expenses related to any future debt refinancing.

Reasons for Presentation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Statements in this release and the Supplemental Financial Information
accompanying include non-GAAP financial measures. Such information is
provided as additional information, not as an alternative to our
consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, and
is intended to enhance an overall understanding of our current financial
performance. The Supplemental Financial Information sets forth financial
measures reviewed by our management to evaluate our operating
performance. Such measures also are used to determine a portion of the
compensation for some of our executives and employees. We believe the
non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to management,
investors and prospective investors by excluding certain charges and
other amounts that we believe are not indicative of our core operating
results. These non-GAAP measures are included to provide management, our
investors and prospective investors with an alternative method for
assessing our operating results in a manner that is focused on the
performance of our ongoing operations and to provide a more consistent
basis for comparison between quarters. One of the non-GAAP financial
measures presented is EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization of identifiable intangible assets), other
terms include Adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA plus equity-based compensation
expense, impairment charges, write-off of loan fees, acquisition related
costs and strategic planning costs) and Non-GAAP Income from Continuing
Operations (Income from continuing operations, plus acquisition related
expenses, deferred financing fees written-off and strategic planning
costs, net of tax) and Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations and
related per share amounts. These terms might not be calculated in the
same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled
measures reported by other companies. The financial statement tables
that accompany this press release include reconciliation of each
non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measure.
Safe Harbor
Certain statements made in this news release are “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and involve a high degree of risk and
uncertainty. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding the
Company's anticipated future financial and operating performance. All
statements in this release, other than those setting forth strictly
historical information, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results
might differ materially. In particular, the Company makes no assurances
that the estimates of revenues, gross margin, SG&A, Adjusted EBITDA,
income from continuing operations, adjusted income from continuing
operations, earnings per share or earnings per diluted share set forth
above will be achieved. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include actual demand for our services, our ability to
attract, train and retain qualified staffing consultants, our ability to
remain competitive in obtaining and retaining temporary staffing
clients, the availability of qualified temporary professionals,
management of our growth, continued performance of our enterprise-wide
information systems, and other risks detailed from time to time in our
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, as
filed with the SEC on March 18, 2013, our report on Form 8-K filed with

Amortization of identifiable intangible assets of acquired
businesses.

|

Cash tax savings on indefinite-lived intangible assets (goodwill and
trademarks related to acquisition of Apex Systems, Oxford,
HealthCare Partners, Whitaker Medical and CyberCoders) that are
amortized and deductible in the determination of income taxes, but
not amortized for financial reporting purposes. Adjusted for the
Whitaker and CyberCoders acquisitions, these assets total $611
million and are amortized (and deducted) for income tax purposes on
a straight-line basis over 15 years. The annual income tax deduction
is $40.2 million and the annual after-tax cash savings are
approximately $15.7 million, assuming an estimated marginal combined
federal and state income tax rate of 39 percent. This savings is
reduced by the tax effect of CyberCoders’ amortization, which is not
deductible for tax purposes. The amounts shown above reflect the
effect on the cash tax savings of the inclusion of Whitaker and
CyberCoders from the date of acquisition through the end of the
quarter.

Excess capital expenditures over depreciation is equal to
one-quarter of the estimated full year difference between capital
expenditures less depreciation, tax affected using an estimated
marginal combined federal and state tax rate of 39 percent.
