Verra Mobility Announces Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

08 August 2024

MESA, Ariz., Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, announced today the financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

"We delivered an outstanding second quarter, highlighted by strong revenue and earnings growth," said David Roberts, President and CEO, Verra Mobility. "Travel demand remains robust driving continued strength in Commercial Services and increasing demand for automated traffic enforcement is driving strong performance in Government Solutions. Moreover, we are seeing a strong and growing bid pipeline for automated enforcement programs in our Government Solutions business. Based on our first half financial performance and anticipated outlook for the remainder of the year, we are reaffirming our full year guidance."

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

  • Revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter of 2024 was $222.4 million, an increase of 9% compared to $204.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. Service revenue growth was 8%, driven by 10% growth in Commercial Services and 8% growth from our Government Solutions segment. Commercial Services revenue growth was due to increases in travel volume and related tolling activity, and the growth in Government Solutions service revenue was driven by the expansion of speed programs and maintenance programs for international customers. Parking Solutions service revenue was relatively consistent at $16.6 million for both 2024 and 2023. Increased revenue from software as a service product offerings was partially offset by reduction in professional services related to parking management solutions.
  • Net income and Earnings Per Share (EPS): Net income for the second quarter of 2024 was $34.2 million, or $0.20 per share, based on 168.6 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Net income for the comparable 2023 period was $19.1 million, or $0.13 per share, based on 152.6 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
  • Adjusted EPS: Adjusted EPS for the second quarter of 2024 was $0.31 per share compared to $0.29 per share for the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $102.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $95.0 million for the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 46% of total revenue for 2024 and 2023.
  • Net Cash Provided from Operations: Cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $22.7 million from $62.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to $40.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due primarily to timing considerations related to cash tax payments and cash collections.
  • Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Adjusted Free Cash Flow was $26.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $51.0 million for the same period last year. There were no adjustments to Free Cash Flow in the second quarter of 2024.

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

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

Second Quarter 2024 Segment Detail

  • The Commercial Services segment generated total revenue of $104.0 million, a 10% increase compared to $94.5 million in the same period in 2023. Segment profit was $69.5 million, a 14% increase from $61.1 million in the prior year. The increases in revenue and segment profit compared to the prior period resulted from increased travel volume for our rental car company customers as well as the increase in enrolled vehicles and higher tolling activity for our fleet management company customers. The segment profit margin was 67% for 2024 and 65% for 2023.
  • The Government Solutions segment generated total revenue of $97.7 million, an 11% increase compared to $88.3 million in the same period in 2023. The increase was due to an 8% increase in recurring service revenue over the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the expansion of speed programs and maintenance programs for international customers. The segment profit was $29.9 million in 2024 compared to $30.4 million in the prior year with segment profit margins of 31% for 2024 and 34% for 2023. The decrease in segment profit is primarily attributable to increased operating expenses associated with enhancing customer-facing platforms and systems.
  • The Parking Solutions segment generated total revenue of $20.7 million, a 5% decrease compared to $21.8 million in the same period in 2023 partly due to a decrease in one-time product sales compared to the prior year quarter. The segment profit was $2.8 million compared to $3.5 million in the prior year with segment profit margins of 14% for 2024 and 16% for 2023. The decrease in segment profit is primarily due to a decrease in product sales and an increase in selling and general expenses.

Liquidity: As of June 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $122.0 million, and we generated $40.0 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Net Debt and Net Leverage: As of June 30, 2024, Net Debt was $928.1 million and Net Leverage was 2.4x, as compared to $918.3 million and 2.5x in the year ended December 31, 2023.

Share Repurchases

In October 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock over an 18-month period in open market, accelerated share repurchase or privately negotiated transactions. On June 6, 2024, we entered into a share repurchase agreement with a stockholder, pursuant to which we repurchased, directly from the stockholder, 2.0 million shares of our Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $51.5 million. The repurchased shares were subsequently retired. As of June 30, 2024, approximately $48.5 million remains available under our authorized share repurchase program.

Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated. These factors include, but are not limited to, customer concentration in our Commercial Services and Government Solutions segments; risks and uncertainties related to our government contracts, including legislative changes, termination rights, delays in payments, audits and investigations; decreases in the prevalence or political acceptance of, or an increase in governmental restrictions regarding, automated and other similar methods of photo enforcement, parking solutions or the use of tolling; our ability to successfully implement our acquisition strategy or integrate acquisitions; failure in or breaches of our networks or systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks or other incidents; risks and uncertainties related to our international operations/our ability to develop and successfully market new products and technologies into new markets; our failure to acquire necessary intellectual property or adequately protect our intellectual property; our ability to manage our substantial level of indebtedness; our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls, including our ability to remedy our material weakness on a timely basis; our ability to properly perform under our contracts and otherwise satisfy our customers; decreased interest in outsourcing from our customers; our ability to keep up with technological developments and changing customer preferences; our ability to compete in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market; risks and uncertainties related to our share repurchase program; risks and uncertainties related to litigation, disputes and regulatory investigations; our reliance on specialized third-party vendors and service providers; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in documents we filed or will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In addition, no assurance can be given that any plan, initiative, projection, goal, commitment, expectation, or prospect set forth in this release can or will be achieved. This press release should be read in conjunction with the information included in our other press releases, reports and other filings with the SEC. Additional information regarding the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is available in our SEC filings, including our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2024. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release and except to the extent required by applicable law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise. Understanding the information contained in these filings is important in order to fully understand our reported financial results and our business outlook for future periods.

Additional Information

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

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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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

We use the non-GAAP metrics EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt, and Net Leverage to measure our performance from period to period, to evaluate and fund incentive compensation programs and to compare our results to those of our competitors. In addition, we also believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends related to our results of operations and that when non-GAAP financial information is viewed with GAAP financial information, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance, liquidity and leverage relative to other periods. These non-GAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net income, cash flows from operations, earnings per share, other consolidated income, cash flow or debt data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

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

Free Cash Flow

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

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

We define "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" as Free Cash Flow which further excludes certain one-time and non-recurring items.

Adjusted Net Income

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

Adjusted EPS

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

Adjusted EBITDA Margin

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

Net Debt

We define "Net Debt" as total long-term debt (including current portion of long-term debt) excluding original issue discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs, less cash and cash equivalents.

Net Leverage

We define "Net Leverage" as Net Debt divided by the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA as of the current quarter-end.
