Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

The Company

SP Plus Corporation (the "Company") blends industry-leading technology and best-in-class operations to deliver mobility solutions that enable the efficient movement of people, vehicles and personal belongings. The Company is committed to elevating the consumer experience while meeting the objectives of its diverse client base in North America and Europe. The Company is a leading provider of technology-driven mobility solutions for aviation, commercial, hospitality and institutional clients. The Company typically enters into contractual agreements with property owners or managers as opposed to owning facilities.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations.

All adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results during the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed on February 24, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE when the Company has the power to direct activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE. If the Company is not the primary beneficiary in a VIE, the Company accounts for the investment in the VIE in accordance with applicable U.S. GAAP. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, assets related to consolidated VIEs were $54.4 million and $57.1 million, respectively, which were primarily related to right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and property and equipment, net. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, liabilities related to consolidated VIEs were $49.7 million and $50.9 million, respectively, which were primarily related to operating and finance lease liabilities. All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents represent funds temporarily invested in money market instruments with maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements were $0.7 million and $0.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and were included in Cash and cash equivalents within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represents the Company’s estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, primarily using a review of specific accounts, as well as historical collection trends and aging of receivables, and records adjustments to the allowance as necessary. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts, which was included in Accounts receivable, net, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $3.9 million and $4.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment includes the Company's equipment, internal-use software, vehicles, leasehold improvements and construction/development in process. Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization, whenever applicable.

Certain costs incurred in the planning and evaluation stage of internal-use software projects are recorded to expense as incurred. Costs associated with directly obtaining, developing or upgrading internal-use software are capitalized and included as Software in Property and equipment, net, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the internal-use software is ready for its intended use, it is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the internal-use software, which is typically 3 years.

Table of Contents

Equipment and vehicles are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 10 years. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases or the useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company has ownership interests in 34 active partnerships, joint ventures or similar arrangements that operate parking facilities, of which 28 are consolidated under the VIE or voting interest models and 6 are unconsolidated where the Company’s ownership interests range from 30-50 percent and for which there are no indicators of control. The Company accounts for such investments under the equity method of accounting, and the Company’s underlying share of each investee’s equity of $12.1 million and $11.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, was included in Other noncurrent assets within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As the operations of these entities are consistent with the Company’s underlying core business operations, the equity in earnings of these investments were included in Services revenue - lease type contracts within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The equity earnings in these related investments were $0.7 million and $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Other Noncurrent Assets

Other noncurrent assets consisted of equity investments of unconsolidated entities, advances, deposits and cost of contracts, net, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Accrued and Other Current Liabilities

Accrued and other current liabilities consisted of insurance, accrued rent, compensation, payroll withholdings, property, payroll and other taxes and other accrued expenses as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling holders’ percentage share of income (losses) from the subsidiaries in which the Company holds a controlling interest, but less than 100 percent, ownership interest. The results of these subsidiaries are consolidated and included within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.0 million liability related to its estimate of additional consideration (“contingent consideration") due to a former minority partner that formerly held a noncontrolling interest in a joint venture with the Company. The Company purchased the minority partner’s interest in the joint venture in 2020. The contingent consideration is contingent on the performance of the operations of the Bradley International Airport. The contingent consideration is not capped and, if any amount is due, would be payable to the former minority partner in April 2025. The $1.0 million was determined based on a probability weighting of potential payouts and recorded in Additional paid-in capital within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $0.3 million related to the contingent consideration during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was recorded in Additional paid-in capital within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company will continue to evaluate the criteria for making these payments in the future and adjust the liability when deemed necessary.

Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid a former minority partner $2.1 million per the terms of an agreement between the Company and the former minority partner. The Company purchased the former minority partner’s entire noncontrolling interest in a joint venture with the Company as of December 31, 2022. Per the terms of the agreement, the Company will be required to make additional payments to the former minority partner over a ten-year period, amounting to a total of $4.5 million. The $2.1 million that was paid during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was included in Accrued and other current liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") authoritative accounting guidance on goodwill, the Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances change that could cause goodwill to become impaired. The Company has elected to assess the impairment of goodwill annually on October 1 or at an interim date if there is an event or change in circumstances indicating the carrying value may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level; the Company's reporting units represent its operating segments, consisting of Commercial and Aviation. Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the use of acquired assets or the Company’s business strategy, and significant negative industry or economic trends.

The Company may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines impairment is present, the Company would need to perform a quantitative assessment. The determination of fair value of a reporting unit utilizes cash flow projections that assume certain future revenue and cost levels, comparable marketplace data, comparable company market valuations, assumed discount rates based upon current market conditions and other valuation factors, all of which involve the use of significant judgment

Table of Contents

and estimates. The Company also assesses critical areas that may impact its business, including economic conditions, market related exposures, competition, changes in service offerings and changes in key personnel.

Other Intangible Assets, net

Other intangible assets represent assets with finite lives that are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates other intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to their remaining useful lives. In addition, other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances change that would indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of intangible assets are complex and subjective, and can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors, such as changes in the Company's business strategy and forecasts. Although the Company believes the historical assumptions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact reported financial results.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including ROU assets, leasehold improvements, equipment and construction/development in progress, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company groups assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified in order to measure an impairment. Events or circumstances that would result in an impairment review include a significant change in the use of an asset, the planned sale or disposal of an asset, or a projection that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the asset or asset group is determined to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value.

Assumptions and estimates used to determine cash flows in the evaluation of impairment and the fair values used to determine the impairment are subject to a degree of judgment and complexity. Any future changes to the assumptions and estimates resulting from changes in actual results or market conditions from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets or asset groups and could result in impairment charges. Future events that may result in impairment charges include economic volatility or other factors that could decrease revenues and profitability of existing locations and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities, such as increasing labor and benefit costs.

Foreign Operations

The Company has foreign operations in Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and India. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate in effect on the respective balance sheet date, while income and expenses are translated at the average rates during the respective periods. Translation adjustments resulting from the fluctuations in exchange rates are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, while transaction gains and losses are recorded within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Deferred taxes are not recorded on cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments when the Company expects the foreign earnings to be permanently reinvested.

2. Acquisitions

On October 11, 2022, the Company acquired K M P Associates Limited ("KMP"), a United Kingdom based software and technology provider serving aviation and commercial parking clients, primarily through its Aeroparker technology, throughout the United States and Europe, for approximately $13.8 million, less cash acquired of $0.9 million, and assumed KMP's debt of $0.3 million. Immediately following the acquisition, the Company repaid all of the debt assumed. KMP's operations are included in the Aviation segment.

On November 10, 2022, the Company acquired certain assets of DiVRT, Inc. ("DIVRT"), a developer of innovative software and technology solutions that enables frictionless parking capabilities, for approximately $17.6 million. In addition, the Company may be required to pay the former owner of DIVRT a maximum amount of $7.0 million in contingent consideration if certain targets related to the number of the Company's locations using the DIVRT technology are met by October 31, 2025. Based on a probability weighting of potential payouts, the Company accrued $4.0 million in projected contingent consideration as of the acquisition date, which was determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The Company's estimate of the potential payout increased to $4.2 million from $4.1 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The increases were due to the changes in the present value of the estimated payout. The Company recorded $0.1 million of operating expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to the change in the present value. The Company will continue to evaluate the potential payouts in the future and adjust the contingent consideration for any changes in the estimated fair value each reporting period. DIVRT's operations are included in the Commercial segment.

Both acquisitions enhance the Company's position as a global provider of frictionless technology solutions that are independent of the Company's legacy parking management and transportation related operations. The acquisitions of KMP and DIVRT have been accounted for as business combinations, and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates. Goodwill was measured as the excess of the consideration over the assets acquired, including other intangible assets, less liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. Tax deductible

Table of Contents

goodwill related to the acquisitions was $10.1 million. The results of each acquisition's operations are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition.

The acquisitions contributed $1.6 million of services revenue and a loss before income taxes of $0.9 million, primarily due to the amortization related to the acquired other intangible assets, during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The Company believes the information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, however, the provisional measurements of fair value for the other intangible assets and goodwill of KMP and DIVRT are subject to change. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition dates, adjustments to assets and liabilities assumed will be recorded with corresponding adjustments to goodwill. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation for the KMP and DIVRT acquisitions as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the information that was available as of the acquisition dates were as follows:

In addition to the acquisitions discussed above, on April 18, 2022, the Company acquired certain other intangible assets for a purchase price of $1.8 million.

As discussed above, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded additions to other intangible assets of $23.5 million. The other intangible assets acquired were recorded at their estimated fair value on the acquisition dates as follows:


(millions)	Estimated Life	Estimated Fair Value
Proprietary know how	7.4 Years	$	17.3
Customer relationships	5.8 Years		3.2
Trade names	13.2 Years		1.8
Covenant not to compete	4.2 Years	1.2
Estimated fair value of identified intangible assets		$	23.5

The fair values of other intangible assets acquired were determined to be Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy. The fair value estimate for all identifiable intangible assets is based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset, based on the most advantageous market for the asset.

The estimated fair values of the Proprietary know how were determined using the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach utilizing projected financial information for each technology that was acquired. The estimated fair value of the customer relationships was determined using the distributor method and excess earnings method under the income approach. The estimated fair values of the trade names were determined using the relief from royalty savings method under the income approach. The Company considered the return on assets and market comparable methods when estimating an appropriate royalty rate for the trade names.

3. Leases

The Company leases parking facilities, office space, warehouses, vehicles and equipment and determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties. The Company's sublease portfolio consists of operating leases for space within leased parking facilities.

As discussed in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices, the Company tests ROU assets when impairment indicators are present.

4. Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

Contracts with customers and clients

The Company accounts for a contract when it has the approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. Once a contract is identified, the Company evaluates whether the contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. Substantially all of the Company’s revenues come from the following two types of arrangements: Lease type and Management type contracts.

Lease type contracts

Lease type contract revenue includes gross receipts (net of local taxes), consulting fees, gains on sales of contracts and payments for exercising termination rights. Performance obligations related to lease type contracts include parking for transient and monthly parkers. Revenue is recognized over time as the Company provides services. Under lease type arrangements, the Company pays the property owner a fixed base rent, percentage rent that is tied to the facility’s financial performance, or a combination of both. The Company operates the parking facility and is responsible for most operating expenses, but typically is not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. Certain expenses, primarily rental expense for the contractual arrangements that meet the definition of service concession arrangements, are recorded as a reduction of revenue.

Management type contracts

Management type contract revenue consists of management fees, including both fixed and performance-based fees. In exchange for this consideration, the Company may have a bundle of integrated services that comprise one performance obligation and include services such as managing the facility, as well as ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, consulting, insurance and other value-added services. Management type contract revenues do not include gross customer collections at the managed facilities as these revenues belong to the property owners rather than the Company. Management type contracts generally provide the Company with management fees regardless of the operating performance of the underlying facilities. Revenue is recognized over time as the Company provides services.

Service concession arrangements

Certain expenses (primarily rental expense), as well as depreciation and amortization, related to service concessions arrangements for lease type contracts, are recorded as a reduction of Service revenue - lease type contracts.

The Company recorded $2.9 million and $3.2 million of cost concessions related to service concession arrangements (recognized as an increase to revenue) during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by type of arrangement for each of the reportable segments. The Company has concluded that such disaggregation of revenue best depicts the overall economic nature, timing and uncertainty of the Company's revenue and cash flows affected by the economic factors of the respective contractual arrangement. See Note 13. Segment Information for further information on disaggregation of the Company's revenue by segment.

Performance obligations

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $188.1 million related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied for which the Company expects to recognize revenue. This amount excludes variable consideration primarily related to contracts where the Company and customer share the gross revenues or operating profit for the location and contracts where transaction prices include performance incentives that are constrained at contract inception. These performance incentives are based on measures that are ascertained exclusively by future performance and therefore cannot be estimated at contract inception

by the Company. The Company applies the practical expedient that permits exclusion of information about the remaining performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.

The Company expects to recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue in future periods as follows:

5. Legal and Other Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to claims and litigation in the normal course of its business, including those related to labor and employment, contracts, personal injury and other related matters, some of which allege substantial monetary damages and claims. Some of these actions may be brought as class actions on behalf of a class or purported class of employees. While the outcomes of claims and legal proceedings brought against the Company are subject to uncertainty, the Company believes the final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company accrues a charge when it 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. When a loss is probable, the Company records an accrual based on the reasonably estimable loss or range of loss. When no point of loss is more likely than another, the Company records the lowest amount in the estimated range of loss, and if material, discloses the estimated range. The Company does not record liabilities for reasonably possible loss contingencies, but does disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are material and the Company is able to estimate such a range. If the Company cannot provide a range of reasonably possible losses, it explains the factors that prevent it from determining such a range. The Company regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether an accrual should be established or adjusted. Estimating the probability that a loss will occur and the amount of a loss or a range of loss involves significant estimation and judgment.

11. Net Income per Common Share

Basic net income per common 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 common share is based upon the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period plus all potentially dilutive stock-based awards, including restricted stock and performance share units, using the treasury-stock method. Unvested performance share units are excluded from the computation of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares is contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the period.

Basic and diluted net income per common share and a reconciliation of the weighted average basic common shares outstanding to the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (unaudited) was as follows:

13. Segment Information

Segment information is presented in accordance with a “management approach,” which designates the internal reporting used by the Company's 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 discrete financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance.

Each of the operating segments are directly responsible for revenue and expenses related to their operations, including direct segment general and administrative expenses. The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about operating income (loss) as its primary measure of performance, but does not evaluate segments using discrete asset information. Therefore, assets are not presented at the segment level. There are no inter-segment transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and the Company does not allocate other expense (income), interest expense (income) or income tax expense (benefit) to the operating segments. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

Table of Contents

The Company’s operating segments are Commercial and Aviation:

•

Commercial encompasses the Company's services in healthcare facilities, municipalities, including meter revenue collection and enforcement services, government facilities, hotels, commercial real estate, residential communities, retail, colleges and universities, as well as ancillary services such as providing technology-based mobility solutions, shuttle and ground transportation services, valet services, taxi and livery dispatch services and event planning, including shuttle and transportation services.

•

Aviation encompasses the Company's services in aviation (i.e., airports, airline and certain hospitality clients with baggage and parking services) as well as ancillary services, which include shuttle and ground transportation services, valet services, baggage handling, baggage repair and replacement, remote air check-in services, wheelchair assist services and other services, as well as providing technology-based mobility solutions.

The Other segment includes costs related to the Company’s operational support teams and costs related to common and shared infrastructure, including finance, accounting, information technology, human resources, procurement and purchasing, legal and corporate development.

Overview

Acquisitions

On October 11, 2022, we acquired K M P Associates Limited ("KMP"), a United Kingdom based software and technology provider serving aviation and commercial parking clients, primarily through its AeroParker technology, throughout the United States and Europe, for approximately $13.8 million, less cash acquired of $0.9 million, and assumed KMP’s debt of $0.3 million. Immediately following the acquisition, we repaid all of the debt assumed. KMP’s operations are included in the Aviation segment.

On November 10, 2022, we acquired certain assets of DiVRT, Inc. ("DIVRT"), a developer of innovative software and technology solutions that enables frictionless parking capabilities, for approximately $17.6 million. In addition, we may be required to pay the former owner of DIVRT a maximum amount of $7.0 million in contingent consideration if certain targets related to the number of our locations using the DIVRT technology are met by October 31, 2025. Based on a probability weighting of potential payouts, we accrued $4.0 million in projected contingent consideration as of the acquisition date. Our estimate of the potential payout increased to $4.2 million as of March 31, 2023 due to the changes in the present value of the estimated payout. We will continue to evaluate the potential payouts in the future and adjust the contingent consideration for any changes in the estimated fair value each reporting period. DIVRT’s operations are included in the Commercial segment.

Our Business

We blend industry-leading technology and best-in-class operations to deliver mobility solutions that enable the efficient movement of people, vehicles and personal belongings. We are committed to elevating the consumer experience while meeting objectives of our diverse client base in North America and Europe. We are a leading provider of technology-driven mobility solutions for aviation, commercial, hospitality and institutional clients.

We typically enter into contractual relationships with property owners or managers as opposed to owning facilities. We primarily operate under two types of arrangements: management type contracts and lease type contracts.

•

Under a management type contract, we typically receive a fixed and/or variable monthly fee for providing our services, and may receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of certain performance objectives. We also receive fees for ancillary services such as accounting support services, equipment leasing and consulting. Typically, all of the underlying revenue and expenses under a standard management type contract flow through to our client rather than to us. However, some management type contracts, which are referred to as “reverse” management type contracts, usually provide for larger management fees and require us to pay various costs.

•

Under a lease type contract, we generally pay our clients either a fixed base rent or fee, percentage of rent that is tied to the financial performance of the operation, or a combination of both. We collect all revenue and are responsible for most operating expenses, but typically are not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes.

Table of Contents

Margins for lease type 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, 2023, in our Commercial segment, we operated approximately 87% of our locations under management type contracts and 13% under lease type contracts and our Aviation segment serviced 159 airports across North America and Europe.

In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, our primary area of focus is on our operating income. Revenue from lease type contracts includes all gross customer collections derived from our leased locations (net of local taxes), whereas revenue from management type contracts only includes our contractually agreed upon management fees and amounts attributable to ancillary services. Gross customer collections at facilities under management type contracts, therefore, are not included in our revenue. Accordingly, while a change in the proportion of our operating agreements that are structured as lease type contracts may cause significant fluctuations in reported revenue and cost of services, our operating income under lease type contracts will be comparable to the operating income under management type contracts.

General Business Trends

We believe that sophisticated clients recognize the potential for technology-driven mobility solutions, parking services, parking management, ground transportation services, baggage handling services and other ancillary services to be a profit generator and/or a service differentiator to their customers. By outsourcing these services, our clients are able to capture additional profit and improve customer experiences by leveraging the unique technology, operational skills and controls that an experienced services and technology solutions provider can offer. Our ability to consistently deliver a uniformly high level of services to our clients, including the use of various technological solutions and enhancements, allows us to maximize the profit and/or customer experience for our clients and improves our ability to win contracts and retain existing clients. Our focus on customer service and satisfaction is a key driver of our high retention rate, which was approximately 93% and 92% for the twelve-month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, for our Commercial segment facilities.

Other Recent Developments

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. Federal government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that includes, among other provisions, changes to the U.S. Federal corporate income tax system, including a 15% minimum tax based on adjusted financial income exceeding $1.0 billion, effective in 2024, and a 1% excise tax on net repurchases of a company's own stock effective January 1, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded $0.1 million related to the excise tax on net repurchases of our common stock in Treasury Stock within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are continuing to evaluate the other Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 provisions and its requirements, as well as any potential impact on our business.

Total Airports		159		158		89

The increase as of December 31, 2022 included 65 unique airports added as a result of the acquisition of KMP.

Revenue

We recognize services revenue from our contracts and certain fees for using our technology-driven mobility solutions as the related services are provided. Substantially all of our revenue comes from the following sources:

Lease type contracts. Consists of all revenue received at lease type locations, including gross receipts (net of local taxes), consulting and real estate development fees, fees for utilizing our technology-driven mobility solutions, gains on sales of contracts and payments for exercising termination rights. As discussed in Note 4. Revenue in the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, revenue from lease type contracts includes a reduction for certain expenses (primarily rent expense) related to service concession arrangements.

Table of Contents

Management type contracts. Consists of management fees, including fixed, variable and/or performance-based fees, and amounts attributable to ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, baggage services, payments received for exercising termination rights, consulting, developmental fees, gains on sales of contracts, insurance and other value-added services. We believe we generally can 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 and health care claims by maintaining a large per-claim deductible. As a result, we generate operating income on the insurance provided under our management type contracts by focusing on our risk management efforts and controlling losses. Management type contract revenues do not include gross customer collections, as those revenues belong to the client rather than to us. Management type contracts generally provide us with a management fee regardless of the operating performance of the underlying facility. In addition, management type contract revenue includes revenue related to our other aviation services. Other aviation services include our baggage delivery services, curbside concierge services, e-commerce technology fees, remote airline check-in services and other miscellaneous services provided to our airport and airline clients.

Reimbursed Management Type Contract Revenue. Consists of the direct reimbursement from the client for operating expenses incurred under a management type contract.

Cost of Services (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)

Our cost of services consists of the following:

Lease type contracts. Consists of contractual rents or fees paid to the client and all operating expenses incurred in connection with operating the leased facility. Contractual rents or fees paid to the client are generally based on either a fixed contractual amount, a percentage of gross revenue or a combination thereof. Generally, under a lease type arrangement, we are not responsible for major capital expenditures or real estate taxes.

Management type contracts. Expenses under a management type contract are generally the responsibility of the client. As a result, these costs are not included in cost of services. However, “reverse” management type contracts, which typically provide for larger management fees, do require us to pay for certain costs, which are included in cost of services. In addition, certain costs related to providing our other aviation and ancillary services are included in cost of services.

Reimbursed Management Type Contract Expense. Consists of directly reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of a client under a management type contract.

Gross Profit

Gross profit equals our revenue less the cost of generating such revenue (“cost of services”) and depreciation and amortization expenses related to cost of services activities.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages, incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, payroll taxes, insurance, travel and office related expenses for our headquarters, field offices and supervisory employees. Additionally, acquisition-related expenses are included in general and administrative expenses.

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, usually acquired through the acquisition of businesses, are amortized over their remaining estimated useful life.

Operating Income

Operating income represents revenue less cost of services, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. This is the key metric our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) uses for making decisions, assessing performance and allocating resources to our Operating Segments, Commercial and Aviation.

Goodwill and other Intangible Assets, net

See Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices, which describes our policy relating to goodwill and other intangible assets, net.

Long-Lived Assets

See Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices, which describes our policy relating to other long-lived assets.

Segments

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 the CODM. Our CODM is our chief executive officer. The CODM uses this separate discrete financial information by segment to allocate resources and assess performance, primarily based on operating income.

Our operating segments are Commercial and Aviation, which are described below.

•

Commercial encompasses our services in healthcare facilities, municipalities, including meter revenue collection and enforcement services, government facilities, hotels, commercial real estate, residential communities, retail, colleges and universities, as well as ancillary services such as providing technology-driven mobility solutions, shuttle and ground transportation services, valet services, taxi and livery dispatch services and event planning, including shuttle and transportation services.

•

Aviation encompasses our services in aviation (e.g., airports, airline and certain hospitality clients with baggage and parking services), as well as ancillary services, which includes shuttle and ground transportation services, valet services, baggage handling, baggage repair and replacement, remote air check-in services, wheelchair assist services and other services, as well as providing technology-driven mobility solutions.

The Other segment includes costs related to our operational support teams and costs related to common and shared infrastructure, including finance, accounting, information technology, human resources, procurement and purchasing, legal and corporate development.

Analysis of Results of Operations

New business relates to contracts that started during the current period. Contract terminations relate to contracts that have expired or terminated early during the current period but where we were operating the business in the comparative period presented. Conversions relate to contracts that were converted from lease type contracts to management type contracts after the prior year period.

Restructuring, integration and other costs include compensation expenses related to organizational changes within our Company, integration expenses related to our recent acquisitions, and severance and other costs primarily related to workforce reductions.

•

Reimbursed management type contract revenue was $209.0 million and $165.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in reimbursed management type contract revenue was primarily due to continued improving business conditions and revenue from acquisitions of $0.6 million.

Cost of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased by $68.6 million, or 23.0%, attributable to the following:

•

Cost of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for lease type contracts increased $3.2 million, or 6.2%, primarily due to higher operating costs as a result of continued improving business conditions, lower cost concessions related to rent concessions of $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and new business, partially offset by terminations.

•

Cost of services (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) for management type contracts increased $21.8 million, or 26.9%, primarily due to higher operating costs as a result of continued improving business conditions related to our baggage delivery businesses, reverse management contracts and other aviation services, as well as new business, partially offset by terminations.

•

Reimbursed management type contract expense was $209.0 million and $165.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in reimbursed management type contract cost of services was primarily due to continued improving business conditions and acquisitions of $0.6 million.

General and administrative expenses increased $6.1 million, or 24.9%, primarily due to higher compensation and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses and our continued investment in technology and growth initiatives, as well as higher restructuring, integration and other costs of $1.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.6 million, or 23.5%, primarily due to the amortization of other intangible assets related to the recent acquisitions and our continued investment in technology and growth initiatives.

Our effective tax rate was 26.2% and 27.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Net income decreased $2.0 million, or 17.7%, primarily due to higher interest expense and the factors noted above, partially offset by lower income taxes.

General and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 44.4%, to $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to our continued investment in growth initiatives and higher restructuring, integration and other costs of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Operating income increased $0.5 million, or 6.2%, to $8.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $8.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the factors noted above, partially offset by $0.4 million of amortization expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to other intangibles assets as a result of the acquisition of KMP.

Other

Operating expenses within the Other segment increased $3.9 million, or 23.5%, to $20.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $16.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to higher compensation and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses, as well as our continued investment in technology and growth initiatives and restructuring, integration and other costs of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs, as well as cash flows generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Our operating needs can include, among other items, commitments for cost of services, operating leases, payroll, insurance claims, interest and legal settlements. Our investing and financing spending can include payments for acquired businesses or assets, joint ventures, capital expenditures, distributions to noncontrolling interests, stock repurchases and payments on our outstanding indebtedness.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $29.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $218.0 million of borrowing availability under our Senior Credit Facility (as defined in Note 8. Borrowing Arrangements within the notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The full impact of macroeconomic conditions, including higher inflation and rising interest rates, on our business and the businesses of our customers and clients is unknown. We believe we will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations and remain in compliance with our existing debt covenants for the next twelve months.

We continue to monitor the impact of the recent regional bank failures. Currently, we do not believe that our banking partners are exposed to any significant credit risk, and continue to believe that we have sufficient assets and liquidity to adequately cover future obligations as they come due.

Outstanding Indebtedness

On March 31, 2023, we had total indebtedness of approximately $376.8 million, an increase of $32.6 million from December 31, 2022. The $376.8 million in total indebtedness as of March 31, 2023 included:

•

$352.7 million under our Senior Credit Facility; and

•

$24.1 million of other debt including finance lease obligations.

As of March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with our debt covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 8. Borrowing Arrangements within the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

As of March 31, 2023, we had $39.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility and borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility aggregated to $356.2 million.

The weighted average interest rate on our Senior Credit Facility was 6.3% and 3.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. That rate included the letters of credit for both years and interest rate collars during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The weighted average interest rate on all outstanding borrowings, not including letters of credit, was 6.7% and 3.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Stock Repurchases

On February 14, 2023, our Board of Directors (our "Board") authorized us to repurchase, on the open market, shares of our outstanding common stock in an amount not to exceed $60.0 million.

In May 2022, our Board authorized us to repurchase, on the open market, shares of our outstanding common stock in an amount not to exceed $60.0 million in aggregate. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, 285,700 shares were repurchased at an average price of $36.53 per share under this program. As of March 31, 2023, $0.2 million remained available for repurchase under this program.

Stock repurchase activity under the May 2022 stock repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was as follows:

Daily Cash Collections

As a result of day-to-day activity at our parking locations, we collect significant amounts of cash. Lease type contract revenue is generally deposited into our local bank accounts, with a portion remitted to our clients in the form of rental payments based on the terms of the leases. Under management type contracts, clients may 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 may require us to deposit the daily receipts into client designated bank accounts and the clients then reimburse us for operating expenses and pay our management fee subsequent to month-end. In addition, our clients may require segregated bank accounts for receipts and disbursements. Our working capital and liquidity may be adversely affected if a significant number of our clients require us to deposit all parking revenues 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 accounts. For all these reasons, from time to time, we carry a significant cash balance, while also utilizing our Senior Credit Facility.

Summary of Cash Flows

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and availability under our Senior Credit Facility. Our cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended
(millions)	March 31, 2023			March 31, 2022
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	7.7		$	26.4
Net cash used in investing activities		(8.8	)		(2.2	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		18.7			(16.6	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents		(0.2	)		0.1
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	17.4		$	7.7

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to $26.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from the receipt of the $20.5 million U.S. Federal income tax refund during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and higher interest payments during the three months ended March 31, 2023, partially offset by improved working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $8.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $6.6 million from $2.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from the increase in purchases of property and equipment, primarily related to our investments in internal-use software, as well as the noncontrolling interest buyout of $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $35.3 million from net cash used in financing activities of $16.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had increased borrowings on the Senior Credit Facility as compared to March 31, 2022 as a result of lower net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by common stock repurchases of $11.1 million under our May 2022 stock repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We had Cash and cash equivalents of $29.8 million and $12.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The cash balances reflect our ability to utilize funds deposited into our bank accounts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in our primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (the "Evaluation") at a reasonable assurance level as of the last day of the period covered by this Form 10-Q.

Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on the Evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Inherent 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 claims and litigation in the normal course of our business, including those related to labor and employment, contracts, personal injury and other related matters, some of which allege substantial monetary damages and claims. Some of these actions may be brought as class actions on behalf of a class or purported class of employees. While the outcomes of current claims and legal proceedings brought against us are subject to uncertainty, we believe the final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We accrue a charge when we determine 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. When a loss is probable, we record an accrual based on the reasonably estimable loss or range of loss. When no point of loss is more likely than another, we record the lowest amount in the estimated range of loss and, if material, disclose the estimated range. We do not record liabilities for reasonably possible loss contingencies, but do disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are material and we are able to estimate such a range. If we cannot provide a range of reasonably possible losses, we explain the factors that prevent us from determining such a range. 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 the amount of a loss or a range of loss involves significant estimation and judgment.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Investors should carefully consider the discussion of risk factors and the other information described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and in subsequent filings by us with the SEC. New risks could emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
