Third Quarter Business Highlights
“Our third quarter 2022 results once again exceeded expectations. Our advanced technology stack is driving internal efficiency and productivity gains, as well as increases in client and candidate engagement. As market conditions continue to normalize, we are confident that we can continue to grow organically through new client wins, strong execution, and the continued demand for clinicians across the healthcare continuum,” said John A. Martins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Country Healthcare. He continued, “Heading into 2023, we are well positioned and remain confident that we will meet or exceed our annual targets given the pipeline of MSP opportunities, the ongoing rollout of our proprietary vendor-neutral offering, Intellify, and continued investments in our people and technology.”
Third quarter consolidated revenue was $636.1 million, an increase of 70% year-over-year and a decrease of 16% sequentially. Consolidated gross profit margin was 22.6%, up 20 basis points year-over-year and flat sequentially. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $34.8 million compared to $23.4 million in the prior year and $52.9 million in the prior quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.93 compared to $0.62 in the prior year and $1.40 in the prior quarter. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) was $63.8 million or 10.0% of revenue, as compared with $30.1 million or 8.0% of revenue in the prior year, and $83.5 million or 11.1% of revenue in the prior quarter. Adjusted EPS was $1.07 compared to $0.61 in the prior year and $1.40 in the prior quarter.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, consolidated revenue was $2.2 billion, an increase of 110% year-over-year. Consolidated gross profit margin was 22.4%, up 40 basis points year-over-year. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $149.7 million, or $3.97 per diluted share, compared to $54.4 million, or $1.46 per diluted share, in the prior year.

Quarterly Business Segment Highlights
Nurse and Allied Staffing
Revenue was $612.3 million, an increase of 72% year-over-year and a decrease of 16% sequentially. Contribution income was $77.8 million, an increase from $40.6 million in the prior year and a decrease from $97.6 million in the prior quarter. Average field contract personnel on a full-time equivalent (FTE) basis were 12,524 as compared with 9,003 in the prior year and 13,494 in the prior quarter. Revenue per FTE per day was $526 compared to $425 in the prior year and $591 in the prior quarter. The increase in the average number of FTEs as compared to the prior year was primarily due to headcount growth in travel nurse and allied. As expected, average bill rates were down sequentially in the low double digits.
Physician Staffing
Revenue was $23.8 million, an increase of 27% year-over-year and 8% sequentially. Contribution income was $0.8 million, a decrease from $0.9 million in the prior year and $1.2 million in the prior quarter. Total days filled were 13,219 as compared with 12,187 in the prior year and 12,416 in the prior quarter. Revenue per day filled was $1,803 as compared with $1,540 in the prior year and $1,781 in the prior quarter. The year-over-year increase in revenue was driven by an increase in volume in hospitalists and certified registered nurse anesthetists. The year-over-year decrease in contribution income was driven by higher indirect costs.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights
Cash flow provided by operations for the quarter was $140.6 million, due to the strength of collections of accounts receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash flow provided by operations was $129.7 million compared to cash used in operations of $12.3 million in the prior year.
