News Release

MESA, Ariz., March 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM) (the "Company" or "Verra Mobility") a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018.

Total revenue for the fourth quarter increased to $95.1 million compared to $63.2 million for fourth quarter of 2017. Total revenue for the full year 2018 increased to $370.1 million compared to $232.1 million for full year 2017.

"We are pleased with our execution during the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2018; this was an outstanding and transformative year for the Company. We closed two highly strategic acquisitions and became a publicly traded company through the SPAC transaction with Gores Holdings II," said David Roberts, Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility. "I could not be prouder of the team and the hard work that was accomplished to make this transformation seamless."

The Company reports its results of operations based on two operating segments: Commercial Services and Government Solutions. Commercial Services delivers market-leading 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 market-leading automated safety solutions to municipalities and school districts, including services and technology that enable photo enforcement via road safety camera programs related to red light, speed, school bus, and city bus lanes.

The Company recorded certain out-of-period adjustments which reduced revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018, in the aggregate amount of $4.2 million pertaining to prior 2018 quarters.

Basis of Presentation

On May 31, 2017, the Company was acquired by Greenlight Acquisition Corporation ("Acquirer") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 15, 2017 by and among the Company, Greenlight Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquirer ("Merger Sub"), and Acquirer whereby the Company merged with and into Merger Sub with the former surviving (the "ATS Merger"). Acquirer is ultimately owned by certain private equity investment vehicles sponsored by Platinum Equity, LLC.

Pursuant to the ATS Merger, a new basis of accounting at fair value was established in accordance with U.S. GAAP under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations.  The new stepped-up basis was pushed down by Acquirer to the Company.   The consolidated financial statements and footnotes contained herein are presented in distinct periods to indicate the application of two different bases of accounting between the periods presented. The period from January 1, 2017 to May 31, 2017 has been labeled "Predecessor" and has been prepared using the historical basis of accounting of the Predecessor. The periods from June 1, 2017 to September 30, 2017 and from January 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018 have been labeled "Successor." The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and certain footnotes include a black line division separating the Predecessor Period from the Successor Period. As a result of purchase accounting, the pre-ATS Merger and post-ATS Merger condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows are not comparable.

Segment profit (loss) is based on revenues and income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization, impairment and gain (loss) on disposal of assets and after other income, net. Depreciation, amortization, impairment and gain (loss) on disposal of assets, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and income taxes are not indicative of operating performance, and, as a result are not included in the operating and reportable segments. Other income, net consists primarily of credit card rebates earned on the prepayment of tolls and therefore included in Segment profit (loss). There are no significant non-cash items reported in Segment profit (loss).

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as net income, net of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA further excludes certain non-cash expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt and other transactions that management believes are not indicative of our business. Because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as defined, exclude some but not all items that affect our cash flow from operating activities, they may not be comparable to similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins are calculated as EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, respectively, divided by total revenues expressed as a percentage.

We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding our ability to meet our future debt payment requirements, capital expenditures and working capital requirements and an overall evaluation of our financial condition. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net income, cash flows from operations, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
