| We are encouraged by the green shoots we see from our total market growth strategy and are pleased with our accelerated progress |
| Our sales pipeline continues to both grow and progress and recent new client wins in staffing include the largest win we have seen since 2019 |
| We continue to expect organic growth in a solid market for locum tenens |
| At the same time, we positioned AMN for stronger growth in technology-centric total talent solutions for healthcare |
| Throughout the history of our company, AMN has excelled at innovating to support healthcare professionals and clients during changing times |
| And if you look at particularly as we left 2023 and go into 2024, as we positioned ourselves against the entire market again, MSPs, vendor-neutral, direct, we're getting momentum across the entire market that we didn't have for parts of COVID |
| Language services continues to be one of our strongest growing businesses with its strongest pipeline of prospects |
| Our change initiatives also have provided exciting opportunities for our corporate team members |
| Our strategy will unfold over multiple years and we expect our initiatives to have an increasingly positive impact on our business later in 2024 and beyond |
| We also used our strong balance sheet to repurchase $425 million of our stock which we continue to view as an attractive investment opportunity |
| We were helping our customers, our team members, our company successfully navigate that unprecedented reset |
| AMN Healthcare finished 2023 with a solid fourth quarter and a stabilizing outlook for the first quarter of the new year |
| The overall labor backdrop is favorable and this year's 30% increase in ACA marketplace enrollment indicates that the insured population is growing which we expect will fuel demand utilization |
| Our ability to broadly serve the market is enabling us to grow our sales pipeline across all service lines |
| Becker's named AMN one of the best healthcare places to work and we are recognized by numerous organizations for our strong culture of inclusion and diversity |
| We improved team member retention |
| Cary Grace A.J., what I would add to that is what we're seeing as we have announced ShiftWise Flex in the market is that it's being very well received |
| 2023 required great resilience as we navigated both the biggest industry reset while working to position our organization strongly against our total market opportunity |
| And if you look at Language services, we continue to see demand, very healthy demand in that space |
| So I am very pleased with what we did both in getting through the reset and positioning ourselves more strongly for 2024 and 2025 |
| These changes at AMN have strengthened our ability to serve healthcare professionals |
| Allied demand remains healthy |
| Rice First off, generally speaking, when you gave your guidance for the quarter ahead, you've got pretty good visibility on it |
| Language services revenue of $68 million increased 18% year-over-year and 3% sequentially |
| We took the best new technology and made our services more powerful, easier to use and faster to deploy |
| And we would expect that to continue throughout the year where the bill pay spread will modestly improve as we move through the year |
| I am now pleased to report that AMN has made progress on all these objectives |
| Locums was a bright spot |
| And our entire go-to-market has been reshaped to be more customer-friendly and efficient which will empower our team members to make even a bigger difference in the continuum of care |
| Are you seeing that across the industry? And if so, what would you attribute that to? What's changed over the last year that would lead to that pickup in demand? Cary Grace We continue to see and we expect locums to have continued strong demand in 2024 |
