FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


CROSS COUNTRY HEALTHCARE REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER

AND FULL-YEAR 2008 RESULTS

BOCA RATON, Fla. – March 4, 2009 – Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCRN) today reported record quarterly revenue of $205.9 million in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008, and a net loss of $161.3 million, or ($5.22) per diluted share, including non-cash goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges of $244.1 million pre-tax. Excluding the impairment charges, the Company’s net income was $5.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. This compares to revenue of $181.7 million and net income of $7.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, in the prior year. Cash flow from operations for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $10.1 million.

The non-cash impairment charges relate almost entirely to a goodwill impairment charge in the Company’s nurse and allied staffing business segment resulting from Cross Country Healthcare’s annual impairment testing in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 142. The goodwill impairment charge results from a combination of depressed equity market values and lower projected near-term growth rates for the nurse and allied staffing business arising from the significant down-turn in the U.S. economy and adverse labor and financial markets that deteriorated sharply during the fourth quarter of 2008. The majority of the goodwill impairment is attributable to the Company’s initial capitalization in 1999, which was accounted for as an asset purchase, and the remainder to subsequent nurse and allied staffing acquisitions made through 2003. These charges are not expected to have any impact on the Company’s cash position, future cash flows or liquidity under its Credit Facility.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company reported record revenue of $734.2 million and a net loss of $142.9 million, or ($4.61) per diluted share, including the aforementioned impairment charges. Excluding these impairment charges, the Company’s net income was $24.0 million, or $0.78 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2008. This compares to revenue of $718.3 million and net income of $24.6 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the prior year. Cash flow from operations for the full-year 2008 was $51.0 million.

“Excluding these impairment charges, our operating results for the fourth quarter were better than we guided back in November owing to the strong performance of our MDA physician staffing business acquired last September. However, the market environment for our nurse and allied staffing businesses, in particular, deteriorated at an accelerated rate in the past three months,” said Joseph A. Boshart, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cross Country Healthcare, Inc. “We believe this deterioration has resulted from tighter credit markets, which have increased hospital borrowing costs, dramatically weaker labor markets and economic conditions, which are encouraging staff nurses to work more hours to bolster household income, and relatively weak hospital admission trends. These factors have combined to produce the weakest demand environment we’ve seen for this segment since the mid-1990s.”

Mr. Boshart added, “We see no catalyst to turn this situation around in the near term for our nurse and allied staffing businesses and therefore have taken a number of steps to optimize our profitability and cash flow in this weak volume environment. These steps include reducing employee headcount, decreasing advertising spending and lowering capital expenditures. In 2008, our operating cash flow matched the strongest performance in the Company’s history and we see that strong cash flow continuing so far in 2009. As of March 6th, we will have repaid more than $25 million of our total debt outstanding since the end of the third quarter of 2008.”

Nurse and Allied Staffing

For the fourth quarter of 2008, the nurse and allied staffing business segment (travel and per diem nurse and travel allied staffing) generated revenue of $123.5 million, reflecting a 14% decrease from the prior year quarter and a 4% decrease sequentially from the third quarter of 2008. Contribution income (defined as loss/income from operations before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and corporate expenses not specifically identified to a reporting segment) decreased 18% in the fourth quarter of 2008 to $12.7 million from $15.6 million in the same quarter a year ago.

Segment staffing volume decreased 15% from the prior year quarter and 4% sequentially from the third quarter of 2008, reflecting declines in each business line. Travel staffing volume showed comparable year-over-year and sequential trends with the segment as a whole.

For the full-year 2008, segment revenue decreased 9% to $525.8 million from $576.8 million in 2007, while contribution income decreased 2% to $53.8 million from $54.9 million in 2007. Contribution margin improved 70 basis points to 10.2% in 2008 from 9.5% in 2007.

Physician Staffing

For the fourth quarter of 2008, the physician staffing business segment generated revenue of $45.7 million and contribution income of $4.8 million. On a pro-forma basis physician staffing days filled increased 1% from the prior year quarter and revenue per day filled increased 11%. Physician staffing days filled is derived by dividing the physician staffing hours filled during the respective period by 8 hours. Revenue per day filled represents segment revenue divided by the number of days filled for the respective period.

Segment revenue since the Company’s acquisition of MDA in September 2008 was $56.6 million and contribution income was $5.7 million. On a pro-forma basis since the acquisition, physician staffing days filled increased 3% from the prior year to 34,863 and revenue per day filled increased 14% to $1,622.

Clinical Trials Services

For the fourth quarter of 2008, the clinical trials services segment generated revenue of $23.9 million, a decrease of 5% from $25.2 million in the prior year quarter. Contribution income decreased 12% in the fourth quarter of 2008 to $3.4 million from $3.8 million in the prior year reflecting negative operating leverage as a result of the decline in revenue along with a stronger dollar during the fourth quarter of 2008 that negatively impacted the contribution from the UK operation.

For the full-year 2008, segment revenue increased 9% to $99.1 million from $90.6 million in the same period a year ago, while contribution income increased 6% to $15.3 million from $14.4 million in the prior year period.

Other Human Capital Management Services

For the fourth quarter of 2008, the other human capital management services business segment (education and training and retained search) generated revenue of $12.7 million, a 4% decrease from revenue of $13.3 million in the same quarter in the prior year, primarily reflecting a decline in the retained search business. Segment contribution income decreased to $1.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 from $1.9 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting declines in contribution from both businesses in this segment.

For the full-year 2008, segment revenue increased 4% to $52.8 million from $50.9 million in the same period a year ago, while contribution income decreased to $7.4 million from $7.6 million in the prior year period.

Debt Repayments/Borrowings

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company reduced its borrowings under its term loan and revolving credit facility by $12.3 million from the end of the prior quarter. At December 31, 2008, the Company had $133.1 million of total debt on its balance sheet and a debt, net of unrestricted cash, to total capitalization ratio of 33.5%.

Stock Repurchase Program Update

Cross Country Healthcare did not repurchase shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of 2008 under its repurchase authorization approved in February 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had authorization to repurchase up to 1,441,139 shares of its common stock under its current authorization. Shares may be repurchased from time-to-time in the open market subject to the terms of the Company’s credit agreement. Such repurchases may be discontinued at any time at the discretion of the Company. At December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately 30.8 million shares outstanding.

Guidance For First Quarter 2009

The following statements are based on current management expectations. Such statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. These statements do not include the potential impact of any future mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations, any impairment charges, any significant legal proceedings or repurchases of the Company's common stock. Cross Country Healthcare expects revenue in the first quarter of 2009 to be in the $173 million to $176 million range and earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.08 to $0.10. Historically, the gross profit margin in the Company’s nurse and allied staffing business declines sequentially from the fourth quarter to the first quarter due to the reset of payroll taxes, as well as two less days in the first quarter of 2009. This combination typically results in a sequential decrease in earnings of approximate ly $0.04 per diluted share.
