• Total revenue of $209.7 million
• Net income of $29.1 million
• Generated cash flows from operations of $34.3 million
• Increasing 2024 financial guidance

MESA, Ariz., May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, announced today the financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024.

"Our first quarter results provided a very strong start to 2024," said David Roberts, President and CEO, Verra Mobility. "Driven in large part by the successful implementation of the Verra Mobility Operating System, or vmOS, our execution efforts delivered robust revenue, earnings and free cash flow generation. Moreover, our results reflect the underlying momentum enabled by robust secular growth drivers in the smart mobility market. As a result of our strong financial performance this quarter, we are increasing our guidance for the year."

First Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

• Revenue: Total revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $209.7 million, an increase of 9% compared to $191.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. Service revenue growth was 10% due to increases in travel volume and related tolling activity in the Commercial Services segment which grew 12%, and the growth in service revenue from our Government Solutions segment, which increased 8% and was driven by the expansion of speed and red-light programs. Parking Solutions service revenue increased 5% due to increases in our software as a service (SaaS) product offerings and various services related to parking management solutions.
• Net income and Earnings Per Share (EPS): Net income for the first quarter of 2024 was $29.1 million, or $0.17 per share, based on 168.7 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Net income for the comparable 2023 period was $4.6 million, or $0.03 per share, based on 153.1 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
• Adjusted EPS: Adjusted EPS for the first quarter of 2024 was $0.27 per share compared to $0.26 per share for the first quarter of 2023.
• Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $92.8 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $87.9 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 44% of total revenue for 2024 and 46% for 2023.

We report our results of operations based on three operating segments:

• Commercial Services offers automated toll and violations management and title and registration solutions to rental car companies, fleet management companies and other large fleet owners.
• Government Solutions delivers automated safety solutions to municipalities, school districts and government agencies, including services and technology that enable photo enforcement cameras to detect and process traffic violations related to speed, red-light, school bus and city bus lane management.
• Parking Solutions provides an integrated suite of parking software, transaction processing and hardware solutions to universities, municipalities, parking operators, healthcare facilities and transportation hubs in the United States and Canada.

First Quarter 2024 Segment Detail

• The Commercial Services segment generated total revenue of $95.9 million, a 12% increase compared to $85.6 million in the same period in 2023. Segment profit was $60.8 million, a 14% increase from $53.6 million in the prior year. The increases in revenue and profit compared to the prior period resulted from increased travel volume for our rental car company customers as well as the increase in enrolled vehicles and higher tolling activity for our fleet management company customers. The segment profit margin was 63% for both 2024 and 2023.
• The Government Solutions segment generated total revenue of $94.2 million, a 10% increase compared to $85.9 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was due to an 8% increase in recurring service revenue over the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the expansion of speed and red light programs. The segment profit was $29.2 million in 2024 compared to $31.5 million in the prior year with segment profit margins of 31% for 2024 and 37% for 2023. The decrease in segment profit is primarily attributable to increased operating expenses associated with enhancing customer-facing platforms and systems.
• The Parking Solutions segment generated total revenue of $19.7 million, a 3% decrease compared to $20.3 million in the same period in 2023 partly due to a decrease in one-time product sales compared to the prior year quarter. The segment profit was $2.8 million compared to $2.9 million in the prior year with segment profit margins of 14% for both 2024 and 2023. The decrease in segment profit is primarily attributable to a decrease in our gross profit for product sales.

Liquidity: As of March 31, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $149.5 million, and we generated $34.3 million in cash flows from operations for 2024.

2021 Term Loan Refinancing

In February 2024, we entered into a Third Amendment to refinance the 2021 Term Loan. In connection with the amendment, the interest rate was reduced by 0.50% to SOFR plus 2.75% from SOFR plus 3.25% with the SOFR floor unchanged at 0.00%. The credit spread adjustment, ranging from 0.11448% to 0.71513%, was eliminated. In addition, the 2021 Term Loan no longer contains a provision for principal repayments which were previously required to be paid in quarterly installments. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we made an early repayment of approximately $2.3 million on the 2021 Term Loan and as a result, the total principal outstanding was $702.3 million as of March 31, 2024.

Legal Proceedings

On November 2, 2020, PlusPass, Inc. ("PlusPass") commenced an action in the United States District Court, Central District of California, against Verra Mobility, The Gores Group LLC, Platinum Equity LLC, and ATS Processing Services, Inc., alleging civil violations of Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 and Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. In February 2024, we entered into a confidential business arrangement to acquire certain assets from PlusPass and fully and finally resolve all litigation and disputes between the parties. We accrued $31.5 million for this matter at December 31, 2023, which was presented within selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, and payment was made during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements which address our expected future business and financial performance, and may contain words such as "goal," "target," "future," "estimate," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "project," "may," "should," "will" or similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the changes and trends in the market for our products and services, expected operating results, such as revenue growth, expansion plans and opportunities, and earnings guidance related to 2024 financial and operational metrics. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. These factors include, but are not limited to, customer concentration in our Commercial Services and Government Solutions segments; risks and uncertainties related to our government contracts, including legislative changes, termination rights, delays in payments, audits and investigations; decreases in the prevalence or political acceptance of, or an increase in governmental restrictions regarding, automated and other similar methods of photo enforcement, parking solutions or the use of tolling; our ability to successfully implement our acquisition strategy or integrate acquisitions; failure in or breaches of our networks or systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks; risks and uncertainties related to our international operations; our failure to acquire necessary intellectual property or adequately protect our intellectual property; our ability to manage our substantial level of indebtedness; our reliance on specialized third-party providers; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in documents we filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In addition, no assurance can be given that any plan, initiative, projection, goal, commitment, expectation, or prospect set forth in this release can or will be achieved. This press release should be read in conjunction with the information included in our other press releases, reports and other filings with the SEC. Understanding the information contained in these filings is important in order to fully understand our reported financial results and our business outlook for future periods.

Additional Information

We periodically provide information for investors on our corporate website, www.verramobility.com, and our investor relations website, ir.verramobility.com.

We intend to use our website as a means of disclosing material non-public information and for complying with disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information in this press release. These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and are not intended to be, and should not be, considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. As a result, they may not be comparable to similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measurements to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measurements have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations.

We are not providing a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, or Adjusted Free Cash Flow which are included in our 2024 financial guidance above, in reliance on the "unreasonable efforts" exception for forward-looking non-GAAP measures set forth in SEC rules because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated without unreasonable effort and expense. In this regard, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income as well as Adjusted EPS to net income per share, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Due to the uncertainty of estimates and assumptions used in preparing forward-looking non-GAAP measures, we caution investors that actual results could differ materially from these non-GAAP financial projections.

We use these non-GAAP financial metrics to measure our performance from period to period both at the consolidated level as well as within our operating segments, to evaluate and fund incentive compensation programs and to compare our results to those of our competitors. In addition, we also believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends related to our results of operations and that when non-GAAP financial information is viewed with GAAP financial information, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance. These non-GAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net income, cash flows from operations, earnings per share or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes certain non-cash expenses and other transactions that management believes are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined, exclude some but not all items that affect our cash flow from operating activities.

Free Cash Flow

We define "Free Cash Flow" as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Free Cash Flow which further excludes certain one-time and non-recurring items (for example, the PlusPass legal settlement expense).

Adjusted Net Income

We define "Adjusted Net Income" as net income adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles and certain non-cash or non-recurring expenses.

Adjusted EPS

We define "Adjusted EPS" as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

We define "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.
