STANDARD PARKING CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands except for share and per share data, unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Standard Parking Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 18, 2013.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interest recorded in the consolidated statement of income is the interest in consolidated variable interest entities not controlled by the Company. The Company has ownership interests in thirty-eight partnerships, joint ventures or similar arrangements that operate parking facilities. Twenty-nine are Variable Interest Entities (VIE) and nine are voting interest model entities where the company ownership ranges from 20-50% and it does not control the entities. The Company consolidates those VIEs where it is the primary beneficiary and accounts for voting interest entities that it does not control using the equity method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the VIEs are not material to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Long-term debt has a carrying value that approximates fair value because these instruments bear interest at market rates.

 

Interest Rate Swaps

 

We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.

 

October 25, 2012, the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap transactions (collectively, the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”) and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate Notional Amount of $150,000 (the “Notional Amount”). The Interest Rate Swaps have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement (“the Credit Agreement”), originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the Credit Agreement determined based upon the Company’s consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under the Credit Agreement. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and we calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase of interest expense. As of March 31, 2013, no ineffectiveness of the hedge has been recognized. The fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $538 and $794, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities.

2. Acquisition

 

On October 2, 2012 (“Closing Date”), we completed our acquisition (the “Central Merger”) of 100% of the outstanding common shares of KCPC Holdings, Inc. (“KCPC”), which was the ultimate parent of Central Parking Corporation (“Central”) for 6,161,332 shares of our common stock and the assumption of $217,675 of Central’s debt net of cash acquired. Additionally, Central’s former stockholders will be entitled to receive cash consideration of $27,000, subject to adjustment, to be paid three years after closing to the extent it is not used to satisfy certain obligations that the Company has been indemnified for, by or from the former Central shareholders.

 

Pursuant to the Central Merger agreement, we are entitled to indemnification from the former stockholders of KCPC if and to the extent Central’s combined net debt and the absolute value of Central’s working capital (as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement) (the “Net Debt Working Capital”) exceeded $285,000 as of September 30, 2012.  While we have not made a formal indemnity claim under the Merger Agreement relating to Net Debt Working Capital, the Net Debt Working Capital was $300,546 as of September 30, 2012 and, accordingly, the Net Debt Working Capital exceeded $285,000 by $15,546.

The Company incurred certain acquisition and integration related costs associated with the transaction that were expensed as incurred and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized $4,224 of these costs in its Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 in general and administrative expenses.

 

The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting (in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations) which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The table below summarizes the preliminary amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Certain estimated values are not yet finalized (see below) and are subject to change, which could be significant. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as information necessary to complete the analyses is obtained. The Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

 

The Company financed the acquisition through additional term borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility (defined in Note 11) and consisting of a revolving credit facility up to $200,000 and a term loan of $250,000. The results of operations of this acquisition are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Income from the date of acquisition.

 

The following table summarizes the preliminary values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

The acquired management contracts are being amortized over a weighted average life of 16 years. The favorable and unfavorable lease contracts are being amortized over their contractual lives which results in a weighted average life of 10 and 7 years, respectively. The trade names and trademarks are being amortized over 7 years. The non-compete agreements are being amortized over 1 year. The existing technology is being amortized over 4.5 years. See Note 8 for further disclosure regarding the amortization of the intangible assets.

 

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents expected synergies with the Company’s existing operations, which include growth of new and existing customers, elimination of corporate overhead redundancies, and logistical improvements.

 

The recorded amounts are preliminary and subject to change. The following items are still subject to change:

 

·                  Amounts for intangible assets, unfavorable lease contracts, existing technology, leasehold improvements, equipment, land and construction in progress, pending finalization of valuation efforts.

 

·                  Amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities pending the finalization of the valuations of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill.

 

A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of the Company’s judgments about future events and uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company’s judgments used to determine the estimated fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

 

3. Stock-Based Compensation

 

We measure share-based compensation expense at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and the expense is recognized over the requisite employee service period (the vesting period) for awards expected to vest (considering estimated forfeitures).

 

The Company has an amended and restated Long-Term Incentive Plan that was adopted in conjunction with our initial public offering. On April 22, 2008, our shareholders approved an amendment to our Long-Term Incentive Plan that increased the maximum number of shares of common stock available for awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan from 2,000,000 to 2,175,000 and extended the Plan’s termination date. The Plan now terminates twenty years from the date of such approval, or April 22, 2028. Forfeited and expired options under the Plan become generally available for reissuance. At March 31, 2013, no shares remained available for award under the Plan. See Note 18 on subsequent events regarding the amendment to the Plan.

 

Stock Options and Grants

 

We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option grant as of the date of grant. The volatilities are based on the 90-day historical volatility of our common stock as of the grant date. The risk free interest rate is based on zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option.

Table of Contents

 

There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company recognized no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, as all options previously granted were fully vested. As of March 31, 2013, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested options.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

In March 2008, the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors authorized a grant of 750,000 restricted stock units that subsequently were awarded to members of our senior management team on July 1, 2008. In November 2008, an additional 5,000 restricted stock units were awarded. The restricted stock units vest primarily in one-third installments on each of the tenth, eleventh and twelfth year anniversaries of the grant date. The restricted stock unit agreements provide for accelerated vesting upon the recipient reaching their retirement age.

 

In October 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a grant of 191,895 restricted stock units that were awarded to our senior management team. The restricted stock units vest in one-third installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date. The restricted stock unit agreements were awarded to members of the executive team who played a key role in the due diligence and subsequent planning that led to the successful closing of the Central Merger as well as retention of the team through the integration period. The restricted stock units vest over a three-year period. Additionally in October 2012, as part of employment agreements, 30,529 restricted stock units were awarded and shall become vested on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.

 

The fair value of restricted stock units is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. In accordance with the guidance related to share-based payments, we estimated forfeitures at the time of the grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 5,000 and 104,000 restricted stock units vested, respectively.  No restricted stock units were forfeited.

 

The Company recognized $1,042 and $361 of stock-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 2013, there was $7,978 of unrecognized stock-based compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the restricted stock units that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of approximately 4.0 years.

 

4. Net Income Per Common Share

 

Companies are required to present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares, including stock options and restricted stock units using the treasury-stock method.

 

A reconciliation of the weighted average basic common shares outstanding to the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding is as follows (unaudited):

5. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting Standards Adopted

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-2, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This update provides an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired and then determine whether it should perform a quantitative impairment test. The amendment is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. Although the Company has not performed its annual impairment test, we adopted the guidance in 2013 and do not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which deferred the effective date for applying ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, in respect of certain provisions relating to the presentation of separate line items on the income statement for reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into income, in order for the FASB to further evaluate this change in standard before implementation. The deferral is temporary and other provisions of ASU 2011-05 were effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this update impacted the presentation and disclosure of the Company’s financial statements but did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

 

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update requires additional disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements on assets and liabilities to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of such arrangements on an entity’s financial position as reported. This amendment is effective for fiscal 2013. We adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2013 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Agreement

 

We entered into a 25-year agreement (the “Bradley Agreement”) with the State of Connecticut that expires on April 6, 2025, under which we operate the surface parking and 3,500 garage parking spaces at Bradley International Airport (“Bradley”) located in the Hartford, Connecticut metropolitan area. The Company manages the facility for which it is expected to receive a management fee.

 

The parking garage was financed on April 6, 2000 through the issuance of $53,800 of State of Connecticut (“State”) special facility revenue bonds, representing $47,700 non-taxable Series A bonds and a separate taxable issuance of $6,100 Series B bonds. The Series B bonds were retired on July 1, 2006 according to the terms of the indenture. The Bradley Agreement provides that we deposit with a trustee for the bondholders all gross revenues collected from operations of the surface and garage parking, and from these gross revenues, the trustee pays debt service on the special facility revenue bonds outstanding, operating and capital maintenance expenses of the surface and garage parking facilities excluding our management fee discussed below, and specific annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State. Principal and interest on the Bradley special facility revenue bonds increase from approximately $3,600 in lease year 2002 to approximately $4,500 in lease year 2025. Annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State will increase from approximately $8,300 in lease year 2002 to approximately $13,200 in lease year 2024. The annual minimum guaranteed payment to the State by the trustee for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $2,621 and $2,567, respectively.

 

All of the cash flow from the parking facilities is pledged to the security of the special facility revenue bonds and is collected and deposited with the bond trustee. Each month the bond trustee makes certain required monthly distributions, which are characterized as “Guaranteed Payments.” To the extent the monthly gross receipts generated by the parking facilities are not sufficient for the trustee to make the required Guaranteed Payments, we are obligated to deliver the deficiency amount to the trustee. Additionally, the Guaranteed Payments are required to be paid before we are reimbursed for deficiency payments or management fees.

 

The following is the list of Guaranteed Payments:

 

·             Garage and surface operating expenses,

 

·             Principal and interest on the special facility revenue bonds,

 

·             Trustee expenses,

 

·             Major maintenance and capital improvement deposits, and

 

·             State Minimum Guarantee.

 

However, to the extent there is a cash surplus in any month during the term of the Bradley Agreement, we have the right to be repaid the principal amount of any and all deficiency payments previously made, together with actual interest expenses and a premium, not to exceed 10% of the initial deficiency payment. We calculate and record interest income and premium income in the period the associated deficiency payment is received from the trustee.

 

Deficiency Payments

 

To the extent that monthly gross receipts are not sufficient for the trustee to make the required payments, we are obligated pursuant to our agreement to deliver the deficiency amount to the trustee within three business days of being notified. We are responsible for these deficiency payments regardless of the amount of utilization for the Bradley parking facilities. The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing advances to the trustee to cover operating cash flow requirements. To the extent sufficient funds are available in the appropriate fund, the trustee is then directed by the State to reimburse us for deficiency payments up to the amount of the calculated surplus.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2013, we made deficiency payments of $403. We did not record or receive any premium income related to deficiency repayments from the trustee.  In the three months ended March 31, 2012, we made deficiency payments of $779 and we did not record or receive any interest and premium income related to deficiency repayments from the trustee. There was no receivable from the trustee for interest and premium income related to deficiency repayments as of March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

14



Table of Contents

 

The deficiency payments, if any, are recorded as a receivable by us for which we are reimbursed from time to time as provided in the trust agreement. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we have a receivable of $15,001 and $14,598, respectively, comprised of cumulative deficiency payments to the trustee, net of reimbursements. We believe these advances to be fully recoverable as the Construction, Financing and Operating Special Facility Lease Agreement, which governs reimbursement of Guarantor Payments, places no time restriction on the Company’s right to reimbursement and therefore have not recorded a valuation allowance. We do not guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee.

 

Compensation

 

In addition to the recovery of certain general and administrative expenses incurred, the Bradley Agreement provides for an annual management fee payment that is based on three operating profit tiers calculated for each year during the term of the agreement. The management fee is further apportioned 60% to us and 40% to an un-affiliated entity. To the extent that funds are available for the trustee to make a distribution, the annual management fee is paid when sufficient cash is available after the Guaranteed Payments (as defined in our agreement) are paid, and after the repayment of all deficiency payments, including accrued interest and premium. However, our right to the management fee accrues each year during the term of the agreement and is paid when sufficient cash is available for the trustee to make a distribution.

 

The annual management fee is paid after the repayment of all deficiency payments, including accrued interest and premium therefore due to the existence and length of time for repayment of the deficiency amounts to the Company, no management fees have been recognized in accompanying financial statements. Management fees will be recognized in accordance with SAB 104 when “collectability is reasonably assured” and the deficiency payments have been repaid.

 

Cumulative management fees of $6,150 have not been recognized as of March 31, 2013, and no management fee income was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Senior Credit Facility

 

In connection with the Central Merger, on the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Bank”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as co-syndication agents, U.S. Bank National Association, First Hawaiian Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation, as co-documentation agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”).

 

Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to the Company a new secured Senior Credit Facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) that permits aggregate borrowings of $450,000 consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200,000 at any time outstanding, which includes a letter of credit facility that is limited to $100,000 at any time outstanding, and (ii) a term loan facility of $250,000. The Senior Credit Facility matures on October 2, 2017.

 

15



Table of Contents

 

The entire amount of the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility was drawn by the Company on the Closing Date and is subject to scheduled quarterly payments of principal based on the following annualized amounts: (i) $22,500 in the first year, (ii) $22,500 in the second year, (iii) $30,000 in the third year, (iv) $30,000 in the fourth year and (v) $37,500 in the fifth year. The Company also borrowed $72,800 under the revolving credit facility on the Closing Date. The proceeds from these borrowings were used by the Company to repay outstanding indebtedness of the Company and Central, and will also be used to pay costs and expenses related to the Central Merger and the related financing and fund ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2013, the Company had $320,198 outstanding on the Senior Credit Facility.

 

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, (i) at a rate per annum based on the Company’s consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio for the 12-month period ending as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, determined in accordance with the applicable pricing levels set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Applicable Margin”) for LIBOR loans, plus the applicable LIBOR rate or (ii) the Applicable Margin for base rate loans plus the highest of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (y) the Bank of America prime rate and (z) a daily rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus 1.0%.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 4.5:1.0 (with certain step-downs described in the Credit Agreement). In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:25:1.0 (with certain step-ups described in the Credit Agreement).

 

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply with the financial and operational covenants, the occurrence of any cross default event, non-compliance with other loan documents, the occurrence of a change of control event, and bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Lenders holding a majority of the commitments and outstanding term loan under the Credit Agreement have the right, among others, to (i) terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement, (ii) accelerate and require the Company to repay all the outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement and (iii) require the Company to cash collateralize any outstanding letters of credit.

 

Each wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement) has guaranteed all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of the other guarantors and the Company arising under the Credit Agreement.

 

In connection with and effective upon the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement on October 2, 2012, the Company terminated its then-existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Former Credit Agreement”), dated as of July 15, 2008. There were no termination penalties incurred by the Company in connection with the termination of the Former Credit Agreement.

 

We are in compliance with all of our covenants as of March 31, 2013.

 

The weighted average interest rate on our Senior Credit Facility at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 3.5% and 3.7%, respectively. The rate includes all outstanding LIBOR contracts, cash flow hedge effectiveness effect and letters of credit. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings, not including letters of credit, was 3.6% and 3.9% at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2013, we had $60,486 of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility aggregated $320,198, and we had $53,564 available under the Senior Credit Facility.

 

The Company acquired Subordinated Convertible Debentures (“Convertible Debentures”) that prior to the acquisition of Central, were convertible at the option of the holder thereof into shares of Central common stock. As a result of the acquisition, the subordinated debenture holders no longer have the right to convert the Convertible Debentures to common stock of the Company, but do have the right to redeem the Convertible Debentures for $19.18 cash per share upon their stated maturity (April 1, 2028) or upon acceleration or earlier repayment of the Convertible Debentures. There were no redemptions during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Approximately 65,308 Convertible Debentures or $1,254 (redemption value) remain outstanding at March 31, 2013.

 

The remaining $1,134 of other obligations at March 31, 2013 relates to various financing arrangements.

12. Business Unit Segment Information

 

Segment information is presented in accordance with a “management approach,” which designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s segments are organized in a manner consistent with which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by our CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by our CODM. Our CODM is the Company’s president and chief executive officer.

 

Each of the operating segments is directly responsible for revenue and expenses related to their operations including direct regional administrative costs. Finance, information technology, human resources, and legal are shared functions that are not allocated back to the four operating segments. The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, but does not evaluate segments using discrete asset information. There are no inter-segment transactions and the Company does not allocate interest and other income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization or taxes to operating segments. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

 

Our business is managed based on regions administered by executive vice presidents. The following is summary of revenues (excluding reimbursed management contract revenue) and gross profit by regions for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 with information related to prior periods recast to conform to the current regional alignment (unaudited):

15. Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized income tax expense of $46 on pre-tax earnings of $668 compared to $1,528 income tax expense on pre-tax earnings of $3,796 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective tax rate is approximately 6.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to approximately 40.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was decreased to 6.9% from 37.7% for a discrete benefit of approximately $206 for the retroactive extension of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (“WOTC”) and other similar federal income tax credit programs that were enacted as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act in January of 2013.

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.

16. Legal Proceedings

 

We are subject to litigation in the normal course of our business. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. We accrue a charge against income when our management determines that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we accrue for the authoritative judgments or assertions made against us by government agencies at the time of their rendering regardless of our intent to appeal. In determining the appropriate accounting for loss contingencies, we consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether an accrual should be established or adjusted. Estimating the probability that a loss will occur and estimating the amount of a loss or a range of loss involves significant judgment. In addition, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and other matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of the liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We maintain liability insurance coverage to assist in protecting our assets from losses arising from or related to activities associated with business operations.

 

17. Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company applies ASC 820 for fair value measurements and disclosures for its financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard requires disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. As of March 31, 2013, the Company’s financial liabilities relate to Interest Rate Swaps of $538 and the Company’s financial liabilities relate to contingent acquisition consideration payments of $3,016.

 

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures includes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on observable or unobservable inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

 

·             Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·             Level 2: Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs, which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

·             Level 3: Inputs that are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

 

The significant inputs used to derive the fair value of the amounts due to seller include financial forecasts of future operating results, the probability of reaching the forecast and the associated discount rate. The probability of the contingent consideration ranges from 10% to 95%, with a weighted average discount rate of 11%. The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the basis of measurement at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (unaudited):

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded adjustments to the original contingent consideration obligation recorded upon the acquisition of Gameday Management Group U.S. and Expert Parking. The adjustments were the result of using revised forecasts and updated fair value measurements that adjusted the Company’s potential earn-out payments related to the purchase of these businesses.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized a benefit of $308, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of income due to the change in fair value measurements using level three valuation techniques.

 

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

 

The purchase price of business acquisitions is primarily allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition dates, with the excess recorded as goodwill. We utilize Level 3 inputs in the determination of the initial fair value. Non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, and leasehold improvements, equipment land and construction in progress are subsequently measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment is recognized. We assess the impairment of intangible assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets is not estimated if there is no change in events or circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. We have not recorded impairment charges related to our business acquisitions.

 

18. Subsequent Events

 

On April 24, 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved the Long-Term Incentive Plan amendment which increased the number of shares of common stock available for awards under the Plan from 2,175,000 to 2,875,000, an increase of 700,000 shares.

Explanatory Note

 

Central Merger

 

On October 2, 2012, we completed our acquisition (the “Central Merger”) of Central Parking Corporation. Central, together with its affiliates, was a leading provider of parking and related services, which operated parking facilities in 38 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and provided ancillary products and services, including parking consulting, shuttle, valet, on-street and parking meter enforcement and billing and collection services. Our consolidated results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 include Central’s results of operations for the period October 2, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 do not include any of Central’s results of operations for that quarter.

Overview

 

Our Business

 

We manage parking facilities in urban markets and at airports across the United States and in four Canadian provinces. We do not own any facilities, but instead enter into contractual relationships with property owners or managers.

 

We operate our clients’ properties through two types of arrangements: management contracts and leases. Under a management contract, we typically receive a base monthly fee for managing the facility, and we may also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility performance objectives. We also receive fees for ancillary services. Typically, all of the underlying revenue and expenses under a standard management contract flow through to our clients rather than to us. However, some management contracts, which are referred to as “reverse” management contracts, usually provide for larger management fees and require us to pay various costs. Under lease arrangements, we generally pay to the property owner either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer collections or a combination thereof. We collect all revenue under lease arrangements and we are responsible for most operating expenses, but we are typically not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. Margins for lease contracts vary significantly, not only due to operating performance, but also due to variability of parking rates in different cities and varying space utilization by parking facility type and location. As of March 31, 2013, we operated approximately 80% of our locations under management contracts and approximately 20% of our locations under leases. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we derived approximately 71% of our gross profit under management contracts and approximately 29% of our gross profit under leases.

 

In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management’s primary focus is on our gross profit, total general and administrative expenses and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of our gross profit. Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we are required to account for them differs. Revenue from leases includes all gross customer collections derived from our leased locations (net of parking tax), whereas revenue from management contracts only includes our contractually agreed upon management fees and amounts attributable to ancillary services. Gross customer collections at facilities under management contracts, therefore, are not included in our revenue. Accordingly, while a change in the proportion of our operating agreements that are structured as leases versus management contracts may cause significant fluctuations in reported revenue and expense of parking services, that change will not artificially affect our gross profit. For example, as of March 31, 2013, we operated approximately 80% of our locations under management contracts, and for the three months ended March 31, 2013, we derived approximately 71% of our gross profit under management contracts. Only approximately 42% of total revenue (excluding reimbursed management contract revenue), however, was from management contracts because under those contracts the revenue collected from parking customers belongs to our clients. Therefore, gross profit and total general and administrative expenses, rather than revenue, are management’s primary focus.

 

General Business Trends

 

We believe that sophisticated commercial real estate developers and property managers and owners recognize the opportunity for parking and related services to be a profit generator rather than a cost center. Often, the parking experience makes both the first and the last impressions on their properties’ tenants and visitors. By outsourcing these services, they are able to capture additional profit by leveraging the unique operational skills and controls that an experienced parking management company can offer. Our ability to consistently deliver a uniformly high level of parking and related services and maximize the profit to our clients improves our ability to win contracts and retain existing locations. Our location retention, excluding Central, rate for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2013 was approximately 89%, compared to approximately 91% for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2012, which also reflects our decision not to renew, or to terminate, unprofitable contracts and divestitures required to be made by the Department of Justice in connection with the Central Merger.

 

Excluding Central, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, average gross profit per location decreased from $10.0 thousand in 2012 compared to $9.1 thousand in 2013 primarily due to a negative fluctuation in prior year insurance reserve adjustments.

Revenue

 

We recognize parking services revenue from lease and management contracts as the related services are provided. Substantially all of our revenue comes from the following two sources:

 

·             Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Parking services revenue related to lease contracts consist of all revenue received at a leased facility, including parking receipts (net of parking tax), consulting and real estate development fees, gains on sales of contracts and payments for exercising termination rights.

 

·             Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue consists of management fees, including both fixed and performance-based fees, and amounts attributable to ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, payments received for exercising termination rights, consulting, developmental fees, gains on sales of contracts, as well as insurance and other value-added services with respect to managed locations. We believe we generally purchase required insurance at lower rates than our clients can obtain on their own because we effectively self-insure for all liability and worker’s compensation claims by maintaining a large per-claim deductible. As a result, we have generated operating income on the insurance provided under our management contracts by focusing on our risk management efforts and controlling losses. Management contract revenue does not include gross customer collections at the managed locations as this revenue belongs to the property owner rather than to us. Management contracts generally provide us with a management fee regardless of the operating performance of the underlying facility.

 

Conversions between types of contracts (lease or management) are typically determined by our client and not us. Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we account for them differs substantially.

 

Reimbursed Management Contract Revenue

 

Reimbursed management contract revenue consists of the direct reimbursement from the property owner for operating expenses incurred under a management contract, which is reflected in our revenue.

 

Cost of Parking Services

 

Our cost of parking services consists of the following:

 

·             Cost of parking services—lease contracts. The cost of parking services under a lease arrangement consists of contractual rental fees paid to the facility owner and all operating expenses incurred in connection with operating the leased facility. Contractual fees paid to the facility owner are generally based on either a fixed contractual amount or a percentage of gross revenue or a combination thereof. Generally, under a lease arrangement we are not responsible for major capital expenditures or real estate taxes.

 

24



Table of Contents

 

·             Cost of parking services—management contracts. The cost of parking services under a management contract is generally the responsibility of the facility owner. As a result, these costs are not included in our results of operations. However, our reverse management contracts, which typically provide for larger management fees, do require us to pay for certain costs, which are included in cost of parking services.

 

Reimbursed Management Contract Expense

 

Reimbursed management contract expense consists of direct reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of property owners under a management contract, which is reflected in our cost of parking services.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit equals our revenue less the cost of generating such revenue. This is the key metric we use to examine our performance because it captures the underlying economic benefit to us of both lease contracts and management contracts.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages, payroll taxes, insurance, travel and office related expenses for our headquarters, field offices, supervisory employees, and board of directors.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation is determined using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various asset classes or in the case of leasehold improvements, over the initial term of the operating lease or its useful life, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets determined to have finite lives are amortized over their remaining useful life.

As noted previously, the financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 do not include any of Central’s results of operations for that quarter due to the timing of the closing of the Central Merger on October 2, 2012.  The financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 include Central’s results of operations for that quarter.  To help understand the operating results for these quarters, the term “Central Operations” refers to the results of Central on a stand-alone basis for the period from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2013 and the term “Standard Operations” refers to the results of Standard on a stand-alone basis and not inclusive of results from the acquired operations of Central for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Parking services revenue—lease contracts.  Lease contract revenue increased $85.6 million, or 228.3%, to $123.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $37.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in lease contract revenue consisted of an increase from the Standard Operations of $5.8 million, or 15.5%, and $79.8 million from the Central Operations. The increase resulted primarily from increases in revenue from new locations and acquisitions, partially offset by decreases in revenue from contract expirations and fewer locations that converted from management contracts during the current year. Same location revenue for those facilities, which as of March 31, 2013 are the comparative periods for the two years presented, increased 8.3%. The increase in same location revenue was due to increases in short-term parking revenue of $2.1 million, or 8.7%, and increases in monthly parking revenue of $0.8 million, or 7.7%. Revenue associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that expired during the current period. Acquisition revenue also includes a $2.1 million net benefit that resulted from the sale of contract rights.

 

Parking services revenue—management contracts.  Management contract revenue increased $39.4 million, or 82.1%, to $87.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $48.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in management contact revenue consisted of an increase from the Central Operations of $41.3 million, partially offset by the decrease in revenue from the Standard Operations of $1.9 million, or 4.0%. The increase resulted primarily from increases in revenue from new locations and acquisitions, which was partially offset by a decrease in contract expirations. Same location revenue for those facilities, which as of March 31, 2013 are the comparative periods for the two years presented, decreased 2.6%, primarily due to decreased fees from reverse management locations and ancillary services.

 

Reimbursed management contract revenue. Reimbursed management contract revenue increased $55.5 million, or 53.4%, to $159.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $103.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of owners, and the additional reimbursements related to Central.

 

Lease contract revenue increased primarily due to new locations and same locations in regions one, three, four and five, combined with acquisitions in regions one, two, three and five and conversions in region one. This was partially offset by decreases in contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five and conversions in region four. Same location revenue increases for the aforementioned regions were primarily due to increases in short-term and monthly parking revenue.

Management contract revenue increased primarily due to new locations and acquisitions in all five operating regions, combined with same location revenue in regions one, three and other. This was partially offset by contract expirations in all five operating regions, same locations in regions two and three and acquisitions in other. The decreases in same location revenue were primarily due to a decrease in fees from reverse management locations and ancillary services. For comparability purposes, revenue associated with contract expirations relate to the contracts that expired during the current period.

Cost of parking services—lease contracts.  Cost of parking services for lease contracts increased $76.1 million, or 215.0%, to $111.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $35.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in cost of parking services for lease contracts consisted of an increase from the Standard Operations of $5.5 million, or 15.5%, and $70.6 million from the Central Operations. The increase resulted primarily from increases in costs from new locations and acquisitions, which was partially offset by decreases in contract expirations and fewer locations that converted from management contracts during the current year. Same location costs for those facilities, which as of March 31, 2013 are the comparative for the two years presented, increased 8.5%. Same location costs increased $2.3 million due to rent expense, primarily as a result of contingent rental payments on the increase in revenue for same locations, payroll and payroll related costs of $0.3 million, $0.3 million related to other operating costs.

 

Cost of parking services—management contracts.  Cost of parking services for management contracts increased $29.8 million, or 104.6%, to $58.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $28.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in cost of parking services for management contracts consisted of an increase from the Standard Operations of $0.3 million, or 1.1%, and $29.5 million from the Central Operations. The increase resulted from increases in costs related to new reverse management locations and acquisitions, which was partially offset by decreases in contract expirations. Same location costs for those facilities, which as of March 31, 2013 are the comparative for the two years presented, increased 0.8%. Same location increase in operating expenses for management contracts primarily resulted from increases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services. Same location cost also includes an unfavorable change in net insurance loss experience reserve estimates relating to prior years of $1.7 million.

 

Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expense increased $55.5 million, or 53.4%, to $159.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $103.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Gross profit—lease contracts.  Gross profit for lease contracts increased $9.5 million, or 452.4%, to $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $2.1 million for three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in gross profit for lease contracts consisted of an increase from the Standard Operations of $0.3 million, or 14.3%, and $9.2 million from the Central Operations. Gross profit percentage for lease contracts increased to 9.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 5.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Gross profit lease contracts increases were primarily the result of new locations, same locations and acquisitions, partially offset by contract expirations and conversions. Gross profit lease contracts increases on same locations were primarily the result of increases in short-term and monthly parking revenue. Gross profit lease contracts on acquisitions includes a $2.1 million net benefit that resulted from the sale of contract rights. Gross profit percentage on acquisitions and new locations accounted for most of the increase on a percentage basis.

Gross profit—management contracts.  Gross profit for management contracts increased $9.6 million, or 49.2%, to $29.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $19.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in gross profit for management contracts consisted of a decrease from the Standard Operations of $2.2 million, or 11.3%, and an increase of $11.8 million from Central Operations. Gross profit percentage for management contracts decreased to 33.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 40.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Gross profit for management contracts increases were primarily the result of new locations, acquisitions and conversions, offset by same locations and contract expirations. Gross profit management contracts decreases on same locations were primarily the result of increases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services, in addition to a decrease in revenue. Gross profit percentage on same locations and contract expirations accounted for most of the decline on a percentage basis.

 

Gross profit for lease contracts increased primarily due to new locations in regions three and five, conversions in region one, same locations in regions one and five, acquisitions in regions one two, three, five and other and contract expirations in region four. Partially offsetting, were contract expirations in regions one and five, conversions in region four, new locations in region one and same locations in regions three, four and other. Gross profit lease contracts on same locations increased primarily due to increases in short-term and monthly parking revenue and a net benefit that resulted from the sale of contract rights.

 

Gross profit for management contracts increased primarily due to new locations and acquisitions in all five operating regions and same locations in region one.  Partially offsetting, were contract expirations in all five operating regions, same locations in regions two, three, four, five and other and acquisitions in other. Gross profit for management contracts decreases on same locations were primarily the result of increases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services, in addition to decreased revenue. The other region amounts in same location primarily represent prior year insurance reserve adjustments and amounts that are not specifically identifiable to a specific region.

 

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $12.8 million, or 85.0%, to $27.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily the related to integration costs incurred in connection with the Central Merger of $3.0 million, the addition of general and administrative expenses related to Central of $11.2 million, $0.7 million due to the additional RSUs that were granted in the fourth quarter of 2012, payroll and payroll relates expenses of $1.3 million, partially offset by, professional fees of $1.1 million, acquisition earn-out valuation changes of $0.3 million and cost savings from process efficiencies of $2.0 million.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $5.6 million, or 322.9%, to $7.3 million as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase is a result of the additional amortization and depreciation for the fair value of acquired tangible and intangible assets from the Central Merger.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $3.9 million, or 343.1%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in borrowings and an increase in the borrowing rate on our Senior Credit Facility.

 

Interest income. Interest income was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Income tax expense Income tax expense decreased $1.5 million, or 97.0%, to $46.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. A decrease in our pre-tax income resulted in a $0.2 million decrease in income tax expense and a decrease in our effective tax rate resulted in a $1.3 million decrease in our tax expense. Our effective tax rate was 6.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 40.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was favorably decreased to 6.9% from 37.7% as a result of a discrete benefit of approximately $206 for the retroactive extension of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and other similar federal income tax credit programs that were enacted as part of the American Taxpayer Relief Act in January of 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Outstanding Indebtedness

 

On March 31, 2013, we had total indebtedness of approximately $322.6 million, an increase of $12.1 million from December 31, 2012. The $322.6 million includes:

 

·             $320.2 million under our Senior Credit Facility (defined below); and

 

29



Table of Contents

 

·             $2.4 million of other debt including capital lease obligations and obligations on seller notes and other indebtedness.

 

We believe that our cash flow from operations, combined with availability under our Senior Credit Facility, which amounted to $53.6 million at March 31, 2013, will be sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before their respective maturities. We believe that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms.

 

Senior Credit Facility

 

On October 2, 2012, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 28, 2012, we completed the Central Merger. Central stockholders received 6,161,332 shares of our common stock and we assumed $217.7 million of Central’s debt net of cash acquired. Additionally, Central’s former stockholders will be entitled to receive $27.0 million, subject to adjustment, to be paid three years after closing to the extent it is not used to satisfy indemnity obligations.

 

In connection with the Central Merger, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agents, U.S. Bank National Association, First Hawaiian Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation, as co-documentation agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”).

 

Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to us a new secured Senior Credit Facility (“Senior Credit Facility”) that permits aggregate borrowings of $450.0 million consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million at any time outstanding, which includes a letter of credit facility that is limited to $100.0 million at any time outstanding, and (ii) a term loan facility of $250.0 million. The Senior Credit Facility matures on October 2, 2017.

 

We drew down the entire amount of the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility in connection with the closing of the Central Merger. The $250.0 million obligation is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization of principal based on the following amounts: (i) $22.5 million in the first year, (ii) $22.5 million in the second year, (iii) $30.0 million in the third year, (iv) $30.0 million in the fourth year; and (v) $37.5 million in the fifth year. We also borrowed $72.8 million under the revolving credit facility in connection with the Central Merger closing. We used the proceeds from these borrowings to repay outstanding indebtedness of Standard and Central affiliates. The revolving credit facility has been and will also be used to pay costs and expenses related to the Central Merger and the related financing and to fund ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, (i) at a rate per annum based on our consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio for the 12-month period ending as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, determined in accordance with the applicable pricing levels set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Applicable Margin”) for LIBOR loans, plus the applicable LIBOR rate or (ii) the Applicable Margin for base rate loans plus the highest of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (y) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate and (z) a daily rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus 1.0%.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 4.5:1.0 (with certain step-downs described in the Credit Agreement). In addition, we are required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:25:1.0 (with certain step-ups described in the Credit Agreement).

 

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply with the financial and operational covenants, the occurrence of any cross default event, non-compliance with other loan documents, the occurrence of a change of control event, and bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Lenders holding a majority of the commitments and outstanding term loan under the Credit Agreement have the right, among others, to (i) terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement, (ii) accelerate and require us to repay all the outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement and (iii) require us to cash collateralize any outstanding letters of credit.

Each of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement) has guaranteed all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of the other guarantors and Standard arising under the Credit Agreement.

 

We are in compliance with all of our financial covenants.

 

The weighted average interest rate on our Senior Credit Facility at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 3.5% and 3.7%, respectively. The rate includes all outstanding LIBOR contracts, interest rate cap effect and letters of credit. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings, not including letters of credit, was 3.6% and 3.9% at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

At March 31, 2013, we had $60.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility aggregated $320.2 million and we had $53.6 million available under the Senior Credit Facility.

 

Interest Rate Swap Transactions

 

We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.

 

October 25, 2012, the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap transactions (collectively, the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate Notional Amount of $150.0 million (the “Notional Amount”). The Interest Rate Swaps have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement, originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the Credit Agreement determined based upon the Company’s consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under the Credit Agreement. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and we calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase of interest expense. As of March 31, 2013, no ineffectiveness of the hedge has been recognized. The fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps at March 31, 2013 is $0.5 million and is included in other long-term liabilities.

 

Letters of Credit

 

At March 31, 2013, we have provided letters of credit totaling $50.2 million to our casualty insurance carriers to collateralize our casualty insurance program.

 

As of March 31, 2013, we provided $10.3 million in letters of credit to collateralize other obligations.

 

Deficiency Payments

 

Pursuant to our obligations with respect to the parking garage operations at Bradley International Airport, we are required to make certain payments for the benefit of the State of Connecticut and for holders of special facility revenue bonds. The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing advances to the trustee to cover operating cash flow requirements. The payments, if any, are recorded as a receivable by us for which we are reimbursed from time to time as provided in the trust agreement. As of March 31, 2013, we have a receivable of $15.0 million, comprised of cumulative deficiency payments to the trustee, net of reimbursements. We believe these advances to be fully recoverable and therefore have not recorded a valuation allowance for them. We do not guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee.

 

We made deficiency payments (net of repayments received) of $0.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2012.  We did not record or receive any interest or premium income on deficiency repayments in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.  There was no receivable from the trustee for interest and premium income related to deficiency repayments as of March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Daily Cash Collections

 

As a result of day-to-day activity at our parking locations, we collect significant amounts of cash. Lease contract revenue is generally deposited into our local bank accounts, with a portion remitted to our clients in the form of rental payments according to the terms of the leases. Under management contracts, some clients require us to deposit the daily receipts into one of our local bank accounts, with the cash in excess of our operating expenses and management fees remitted to the clients at negotiated intervals. Other clients require us to deposit the daily receipts into client accounts and the clients then reimburse us for operating expenses and pay our management fee subsequent to month-end. Some clients require a segregated account for the receipts and disbursements at locations. Our working capital and liquidity may be adversely affected if a significant number of our clients require us to deposit all parking revenue into their respective accounts.

 

Our liquidity also fluctuates on an intra-month and intra-year basis depending on the contract mix and timing of significant cash payments. Additionally, our ability to utilize cash deposited into our local accounts is dependent upon the availability and movement of that cash into our corporate account. For all these reasons, from time to time, we carry a significant cash balance, while also utilizing our Senior Credit Facility.

 

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

Our primary sources of funds are cash flows from operating activities and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $9.5 million for the first three months of 2013. Cash used in operating activities for the first three months of 2013 included changes in operating assets and liabilities that resulted in a use of $17.5 million, partially offset by cash provided from operations of $8.0 million. The net decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted primarily from; (i) a decrease in accrued liabilities of $8.4 million primarily related to the payment of our performance-based compensation accrual paid in the first quarter of 2013 of $3.7 million, $10.6 million in reductions in accrued rents, insurance reserves and customer deposits, partially offset by an increase of $5.9 million in other long-term liabilities primarily due to insurance reserves and an increase in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan; (ii) an increase in notes and accounts receivables of $6.1 million; (iii) a decrease in accounts payable of $10.5 million which primarily resulted from the timing on payments to our clients and new business that are under management contracts as described under “Daily Cash Collections” partially offset by (iv) a net decrease in prepaid and other assets of $7.5 million.

 

Our primary sources of funds are cash flows from operating activities and changes in operating assets and liabilities.  Net cash used in operating activities totaled $9.1 million for the first three months of 2012. Cash used included changes in operating assets and liabilities of $14.0 million, partially offset by cash provided from operations of $4.9 million. The net decrease in cash resulted primarily from (i) an increase of $10.5 million in notes and accounts receivable due to timing of customer collections in the first quarter of 2012; (ii) an increase of $0.3 million in prepaid assets primarily due to timing for payment of insurance program; (iii) a decrease of $7.1 million in other liabilities primarily due to the payment of our performance-based compensation accrual paid in the first quarter of 2012 $4.3 million, a decrease in customer deposits of $4.0 million on certain events due to the completion of the events and $1.1 million for professional fees related to the planned Central Merger accrued at year end, partially offset by an increase in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan $0.9 million; (iv) and partially offsetting the decrease in cash is an increase of $3.9 million in accounts payable that primarily resulted from the timing on payments to our clients and new business that are under management contracts as described under “Daily Cash Collections .”

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $3.1 million in the first three months of 2013. Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2013 included $3.1 million for capital investments needed to secure and/or extend lease facilities, investment in information system enhancements and infrastructure, and cost of contract purchases of $0.1 million, partially offset by proceeds from the sales of assets of $0.1 million.

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $0.8 million in the first three months of 2012.  Cash used in investing activities for the first three months of 2012 included capital expenditures of $0.6 million for capital investments needed to secure and/or extend leased facilities and $0.2 million of cost of contract purchases.

 

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $11.1 million in the first three months of 2013. Cash provided by financing activities for the first three months of 2013 included $11.9 million of net proceeds on our Senior Credit Facility, partially offset by $0.6 million distributed to non-controlling interests and $0.2 million for payments on capital leases.

 

32



Table of Contents

 

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $5.7 million in the first three months of 2012.  Cash provided by financing activities for 2012 included $6.7 million of net proceeds under our Senior Credit Facility, $0.2 million from the exercise of stock options, $0.2 million from the tax benefit related to stock option exercises, partially offset by $0.1 million for payments on capital leases, $0.1 million for payments on long-term borrowings, $0.1 million distributed to noncontrolling interests and $1.1 million for earn-out payments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We had cash and cash equivalents of $26.8 million and $28.5 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The cash balances reflect our ability to utilize funds deposited into our local accounts and which based upon availability, timing of deposits and the subsequent movement of that cash into our corporate accounts may result in significant changes to our cash balances.

 

Item 3.      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rates

 

Our primary market risk exposure consists of risk related to changes in interest rates. We use a variable rate Senior Credit Facility to finance our operations. This facility exposes us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases and conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense also decreases. We believe that it is prudent to limit the exposure of an increase in interest rates.

 

We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.

 

October 25, 2012, the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap transactions (collectively, the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate Notional Amount of $150.0 million (the “Notional Amount”). The Interest Rate Swaps have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement (“the Credit Agreement”), originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the Credit Agreement determined based upon the Company’s consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under the Credit Agreement. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and we calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase of interest expense. As of March 31, 2013, no ineffectiveness of the hedge has been recognized. The fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps at March 31, 2013 is $0.5 million and is included in other long-term liabilities.

 

Our $450.0 million Senior Credit Facility provides for a $200.0 million variable rate revolving facility and a term loan facility of $250.0 million. In addition, the variable rate revolving facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility with a sublimit of $100.0 million. Interest expense on such borrowing is sensitive to changes in the market rate of interest. If we were to borrow the entire non-hedged variable rate debt of $300.0 million available under the Senior Credit Facility, a 1% increase in the average market rate would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of $3.0 million. This amount is determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost, but does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Due to the uncertainty of the specific changes and their possible effects, the foregoing sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.

Foreign Currency Risk

 

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal. All foreign investments are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the exception of Canada. We had approximately $1.5 million of Canadian dollar denominated cash instruments at March 31, 2013. We had no Canadian dollar denominated debt instruments at March 31, 2013. We do not hold any hedging instruments related to foreign currency transactions. We monitor foreign currency positions and may enter into certain hedging instruments in the future should we determine that exposure to foreign exchange risk has increased.

 

Item 4.      Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and corporate controller carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and corporate controller concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings

 

We are subject to litigation in the normal course of our business. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. We accrue a charge against income when our management determines that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we accrue for the authoritative judgments or assertions made against us by government agencies at the time of their rendering regardless of our intent to appeal. In determining the appropriate accounting for loss contingencies, we consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether an accrual should be established or adjusted. Estimating the probability that a loss will occur and estimating the amount of a loss or a range of loss involves significant judgment. In addition, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and other matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of the liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We maintain liability insurance coverage to assist in protecting our assets from losses arising from or related to activities associated with business operations.
