Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

1.	Basis of Presentation and Description of Business

Basis of Presentation

Verra Mobility Corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Verra Mobility”), formerly known as Gores Holdings II, Inc. (“Gores”), was originally incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2016, as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization, or other similar business combination with one or more target businesses. On January 19, 2017, the Company consummated its initial public offering, following which its shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”).

On June 21, 2018, Gores, AM Merger Sub I, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Gores (“First Merger Sub”), AM Merger Sub II, LLC, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Gores (“Second Merger Sub”), Greenlight Holding II Corporation (“Greenlight”), and PE Greenlight Holdings, LLC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger as amended on August 23, 2018 by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), which provided for, among other things, (i) the merger of First Merger Sub with and into Greenlight, with Greenlight continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”) and (ii) immediately following the First Merger and as part of the same overall transaction as the First Merger, the merger of Greenlight with and into Second Merger Sub, with Second Merger Sub continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger” and, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”).

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination on October 17, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), Gores changed its name from Gores Holdings II, Inc. to Verra Mobility Corporation, changed its trading symbols on Nasdaq from “GSHT,” and “GSHTW,” to “VRRM” and “VRRMW,” and Second Merger Sub changed its name from AM Merger Sub II, LLC to Verra Mobility Holdings, LLC. As a result of the Business Combination, Verra Mobility Corporation became the owner, directly or indirectly, of all of the equity interests of Verra Mobility Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries. The Business Combination is treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization in which Greenlight is treated as the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree) and Gores is treated as the accounting acquiree (and legal acquirer). Accordingly, as of the Closing Date, Greenlight’s historical results of operations replaced Gores’ historical results of operations for periods prior to the Business Combination, and the results of operations of both companies are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for periods following the Merger (see Note 3).

On May 31, 2017, Greenlight Acquisition Corporation (“Parent”) acquired ATS Consolidated Inc. (“ATS”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated April 15, 2017 by and among ATS, Greenlight Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“ATS Merger Sub”) and Parent whereby ATS merged with and into ATS Merger Sub with the former surviving (the “ATS Merger”). Prior to the Business Combination, Parent was ultimately owned by Greenlight, which in turn was owned by certain private equity investment vehicles sponsored by Platinum Equity, LLC (collectively, “Platinum”) (See Note 3).

Description of Business

Verra Mobility is a technology-enabled services company offering traffic safety and mobility solutions for state and local governments, commercial fleets and rental car companies. The Company has customers located throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. The Company is organized into two operating divisions: Commercial Services and Government Solutions (See Note 15).

The Commercial Services division offers toll and violation management solutions for the commercial fleet and rental car industries by partnering with the leading fleet management and rental car companies in North America and Europe. Electronic toll payment services enable fleet drivers and rental car customers to use high-speed cashless toll lanes or cashless all-electronic toll roads. The service helps commercial fleets reduce toll management costs, while it provides rental car companies with a revenue-generating, value-added service for their customers. Electronic violation processing services reduce the cost and risk associated with vehicle-issued violations, such as toll, parking or camera-enforced tickets. Title and registration services offer title and registration processing for individuals, rental car companies and fleet management companies.

The Government Solutions division provides complete, end-to-end red-light, speed, school bus stop arm and bus lane enforcement solutions. The Company’s programs are designed to reduce traffic violations and resulting collisions, injuries, and fatalities. The Company implements and administers traffic safety programs for municipalities, counties, school districts and law enforcement agencies of all sizes.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Principles and Policies

2.	Significant Accounting Principles and Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the fair values assigned to net assets acquired (including identifiable intangibles) in business combinations, the carrying amounts of long-lived assets and goodwill, the carrying amount of installation and service parts, the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, asset retirement obligations, contingent consideration and the recognition and measurement of loss contingencies.

Management believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Adopted

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We elected to early adopt the requirements of the new standard in the fourth quarter of 2018 using the retrospective transition method, as required by the new standard. The adoption of this ASU had an immaterial impact to the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, that sums to the total of such amounts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

($ in thousands)	June 30, 2019		June 30, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	92,247	$	29,777
Restricted cash		1,743		1,917
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows	$	93,990	$	31,694

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606 (“ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed as of the adoption date. Results for 2019 are presented under ASC 606, while prior periods were not adjusted and are reported under ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”).

The Company has evaluated its current accounting practices to the requirements of ASC 606. This evaluation included an assessment of representative contracts from each of the Company’s revenue streams. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, however, there have been additions and modification to its existing financial disclosures. While the overall revenue, systems and controls were minimally impacted by the new standard, the underlying recognition methodology has changed.

Under the new standard, the Company now recognizes revenue when the Company satisfies the performance obligation, including, for some of its contracts, the processing of the violation on the customer’s behalf. The primary difference under ASC 606 within the Government Solutions segment is the deferral of revenue related to certain variable price contracts, until citation payment. The Company recorded a $0.3 million reduction to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 for the cumulative impact of adoption related to the recognition of revenue in its Government Solutions segment. There was no cumulative impact of adoption related to the Commercial Services segment.

The comparative information was not restated and continues to be presented under ASC 605 for those periods. There was no material impact upon adoption related to the costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a description of principal activities – separated by reportable segments – from which the Company generates revenue:

Commercial Services segment: The Commercial Services segment offers toll and violation management solutions for the commercial fleet and rental car industries by partnering with the leading fleet management and rental car companies in North America and Europe. The Company determined its performance obligation is a distinct stand-ready obligation, as there is an unspecified quantity of services provided that does not diminish, and the customer is being charged only when it uses the Company’s services, such as toll payment, title and registration, etc. Therefore, all services provided within the Commercial Services segment are accounted for as a single performance obligation, of a series of distinct items, with distinct time increments, as a stand-ready obligation. Payment terms for contracts with commercial fleet and rental car companies vary, but are usually billed as services are performed. Revenue from services provided in the Commercial Services segment is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company and as the Company performs the services.

Government Solutions segment: The Government Solutions segment principally generates revenue from providing complete, end-to-end red-light, speed, school bus stop arm, and bus lane enforcement solutions. Products, when sold, are typically sold together with the services in a bundle. The average initial term of a contract is 3 to 5 years. Payment terms for contracts with government agencies vary depending on whether the consideration is fixed or variable. Payment terms for contracts with fixed consideration are usually based on equal installments over the duration of the contract. Payment terms for contracts with variable consideration are usually billed and collected as citations are issued or paid.

For bundled packages, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct – i.e., if a product or service is separately identifiable from other items in the bundle and if a customer can benefit from it as a stand-alone item. The consideration is allocated between separate products and services in a bundle based on their stand-alone selling prices (“SSP”). The Company estimates the SSP of its services based upon observable evidence, market conditions and other relevant inputs.

•

Product sales (sale of camera and installation) – The Company recognizes revenue when the installation process is completed and the camera is ready to perform the services as expected by the customer. Generally, it occurs at site acceptance or first citation. The Company recognizes revenue for the sale of the camera and installation services at a point in time.

•

Service revenue – The Company determined its performance obligation is to provide a complete end-to-end safety and enforcement solution. Promises include providing a system to capture images, processing images taken by the camera, forwarding eligible images to the local police department and processing payments on behalf of the municipality. The Company determined that certain of the promises to its customers are capable of being distinct, as they may provide some measure of benefit to the customer either on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer. However, the Company determined that the promises to its customers do not meet the criterion of being distinct within the context of its contracts. The Company would not be able to fulfill its promises individually, as its customers could not obtain the intended benefit from the contract without the Company fulfilling all promises. Accordingly, the Company concluded that each contract represents one service offering and is a single performance obligation to our customer. Further, the Company accounts for all the services as a single continuous service. The Company applies the series guidance for those services as the nature of the service is to provide a service for a period of time with distinct time increments. The Company recognizes revenue from services over time, as they are performed.

Remaining Performance Obligations

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $0.2 million of remaining performance obligations in the Government Solutions segment, which include amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. The remaining performance obligations are limited only to arrangements that meet the definition of a contract under ASC 606 as of June 30, 2019. As these amounts relate to the initial deferral of revenue under a contract, the Company expects to recognize these amounts over a two month period at the end of the contract.

The Company applies the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-50-14A of ASC 606 and does not disclose variable consideration allocated entirely to wholly unsatisfied stand-ready performance obligations for certain Government Solutions and Commercial Services contracts as part of the information about remaining performance obligations. The duration for these contracts ranges between 3 and 5 years for new contracts.

Significant Judgments

Under the new revenue standard, significant judgments are required in order to identify contracts with customers and estimate transaction prices. Additional judgments are required for the identification of distinct performance obligations, the estimation of standalone selling prices and the allocation of the transaction price by relative standalone selling prices. Assumptions regarding timing of when control transfers to the customer requires significant judgment in order to recognize revenue. The Company makes significant judgments related to identifying the performance obligation and determining whether the services provided are able to be distinct, determining the transaction price, specifically as it is related to the different variable consideration structures identified in the Company’s contracts, and in determining the timing of revenue recognition.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, and issued an amendment within ASU 2019-04, collectively Topic 825. The main objective of the updates is to enhance the reporting model for financial instruments to provide users of financial statements with more decision-useful information. The new guidance addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Most notably, ASU 2016-01 requires the change in fair value of available for sale securities to be recognized in net income. The pronouncement also requires the use of the exit price notion, the separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of asset, and the separate presentation in other comprehensive income of changes in fair value resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company, and it is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and issued certain amendments within ASU 2018-01, 2018-10, 2018-11 and ASU 2019-01, respectively and collectively Topic 842 to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt this standard. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), and issued certain amendments within ASU 2019-04 and ASU 2019-05, respectively and collectively Topic 326, which require companies to present assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities net of the amount expected to be collected. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectability. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. Different components of the guidance require modified retrospective or prospective adoption. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment and removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. The amendments in this ASU are effective for goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. These amendments expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (which currently only includes share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. ASU 2018-07 is effective beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. At this time, the Company does not expect this standard to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows and disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not plan to early adopt the standard. The impact of the implementation of this standard is still being determined by the Company, and it is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations [Abstract]

Merger and Acquisition

3.	Mergers and Acquisitions

Verra Mobility Merger

As described in Note 1, Gores and Greenlight consummated the Business Combination on October 17, 2018. Pursuant to Business Combinations (Topic 805), the Business Combination qualified as a reverse acquisition because immediately following completion of the transaction the stockholders of Greenlight immediately prior to the Business Combination maintained effective control of Verra Mobility, the post-combination company. For accounting purposes, Greenlight is deemed the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as recapitalization of Greenlight (i.e. a capital transaction involving the issuance of stock by Greenlight in exchange for the payment of cash by Gores to the selling shareholders of Greenlight). Accordingly, the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of Greenlight are the historical financial statements of Verra Mobility and the Gores assets, liabilities and results of operations are consolidated with Greenlight beginning on the acquisition date. No step-up in basis of intangible assets or goodwill was recorded for this transaction. The Company effected this treatment through opening stockholders’ equity by adjusting the number of common shares outstanding. Other than underwriting and professional fees paid to consummate the transaction, the Business Combination primarily involved the exchange of cash and equity between Gores, Greenlight and the stockholders of the respective companies. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $6.2 million payable to Platinum, a related party, for the recapitalization related to the working capital adjustment required by the merger agreements. This resulted in a decrease to the additional paid-in capital account for $6.2 million, and a corresponding increase to accrued liabilities.

ATS Merger

On May 31, 2017, ATS was acquired by Parent through the merger of ATS Merger Sub with and into ATS for a total purchase price of $548.2 million ($550.0 million less adjustments set forth in the ATS Merger agreement). The Company recognized approximately $9.9 million of costs related to the ATS Merger, which consisted of $8.0 million of payments for acquisition services to Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of Platinum (“Advisors”), and $1.9 million of professional fees and other expenses related to the ATS Merger.

On May 31, 2017, ATS Merger Sub obtained debt financing pursuant to a credit agreement entered into with a syndicate of lenders. ATS Merger Sub was merged with and into ATS on the same date, effectively making ATS the sole borrower (see Note 8).

HTA Merger

On March 1, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Highway Toll Administration, LLC, and Canada Highway Toll Administration (collectively, “HTA”), pursuant to a unit purchase agreement (“Unit Agreement”) for a cash purchase price of $525.0 million subject to adjustments set forth in the Unit Agreement which aggregated $9.7 million, a $11.3 million payable to the HTA sellers for certain tax items and the issuance of 5.26 shares of Greenlight common stock resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $603.3 million (the “HTA Merger”). The Greenlight shares issued to the Company were determined to have a fair value of $57.3 million. The Company reflected the receipt of the Greenlight common shares as a capital contribution from Parent and then delivered these shares to the HTA sellers as non-cash purchase consideration.

The Company estimated the fair value of the Greenlight common shares issued in connection with this transaction with input from management and a contemporaneous third-party valuation of the Company. Management determined the fair value of Greenlight was the same as the Company as Greenlight’s only holdings were the Company. The valuation advisory firm prepared a valuation report as of March 1, 2018. The assumptions and inputs used in connection with the valuation reflected management’s best estimate of the Company’s business condition, prospects and operating performance on the valuation date. The Company averaged the results of a discounted cash flow analysis, comparable public company analysis and comparable acquisitions analysis to determine an enterprise value of $2.1 billion. The Company then deducted debt of $1.0 billion to arrive at a concluded equity value of $1.1 billion, which was used to derive a per share value.

The final allocation of the purchase consideration is summarized as follows:

($ in thousands)
Assets acquired
Cash	$	2,996
Accounts receivable		10,220
Prepaid expense and other current assets		5,266
Installation and service parts		296

Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		14,268
Deferred tax liability		4,733
Total liabilities assumed		19,001
Total purchase price	$	603,344

The excess of cost of the HTA Merger over the net amounts assigned to the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and was assigned to the Company’s Commercial Services segment. The Company made certain immaterial adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation resulting in a $1.2 million net reduction to goodwill. The goodwill consists largely of the expected cash flows and future growth anticipated for the Company. Most of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The customer relationship value was based on an excess earnings methodology utilizing projected cash flows. The non-compete agreement values were based on the with-or-without method. The trademark and the developed technology values were based on a relief-from-royalty method. The customer relationship, developed technology, non-compete and trademark intangibles were assigned useful lives of 9 years, 5.5 years, 5 years and 3 years, respectively.

The Company recognized $15.6 million of costs related to the HTA Merger, which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations in the six months ended June 30, 2018. These costs consisted of $7.2 million for acquisition services to Advisors and $8.4 million of professional fees and other expenses related to the transaction.

EPC Merger

On April 6, 2018, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Euro Parking Collection plc (“EPC”), pursuant to a stock purchase agreement for purchase consideration of 5.54 shares of Greenlight common stock and working capital adjustments set forth in the stock purchase agreement, which aggregated $2.6 million, resulting in an aggregate purchase price of $62.9 million (the “EPC Merger”). The Company reflected the receipt of the Greenlight common shares as a capital contribution from Parent and then delivered these shares to the EPC sellers as non-cash purchase consideration.

The allocation of the purchase consideration is summarized as follows:

($ in thousands)
Assets acquired
Cash	$	9,029
Other assets		1,948
Trademark		1,100
Customer relationships		19,400

Liabilities assumed
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		8,995
Deferred tax liability		4,273
Total liabilities assumed		13,268
Total purchase price	$	62,935

Goodwill arising from the EPC Merger was assigned to the Company’s Commercial Services segment and consists largely of the expected cash flows and future growth anticipated for the Company. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The customer relationship value was based on an excess earnings methodology utilizing projected cash flows. The trademark and the developed technology values were based on a relief-from-royalty method. The customer relationship, trademark, and developed technology intangibles were assigned useful lives of 10 years, 5 years and 4.5 years, respectively.

The Company recognized $3.0 million of costs related to the EPC Merger in the three months ended June 30, 2018, which consisted of $2.5 million for acquisition services to Advisors and $0.5 million of professional fees and other expenses.

Impairment of Property and Equipment

Asset Impairment Charges [Abstract]

Impairment of Property and Equipment

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets with their carrying value. If the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value of the assets and their carrying value.

The state of Texas passed legislation as of June 1, 2019 to ban red-light photo enforcement programs across the state, with certain carve-outs for some existing programs. The Company considered this event an indicator for potential impairment and, as such, evaluated the recoverability of property and equipment used in the operations of red-light photo enforcement programs in Texas. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge in the Government Solutions segment of $5.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which is included in impairment of property and equipment in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the ATS Merger, ATS Consolidated, Inc., subsequently renamed VM Consolidated, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Old First Lien”), a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Old Second Lien”), (collectively the “Old Term Loans”), and a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Old Revolver”) with a syndicate of lenders (collectively, the “2017 Credit Facilities”). The 2017 Credit Facilities provided for committed senior secured financing of $490.0 million, consisting of the following: the Old Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million; and the Old Revolver, available for loans and letters of credit with an aggregate revolving commitment of up to $40.0 million (based on borrowing based eligibility as described below).

In connection with the HTA Merger, the Company replaced the 2017 Credit Facilities by entering into a First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “New First Lien Term Loan”), a Second Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “New Second Lien Term Loan”), (collectively the “New Term Loans”) and a Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “New Revolver”) with a syndicate of lenders (collectively, the “2018 Credit Facilities”). The 2018 Credit Facilities provide for committed senior secured financing of $1.115 billion, consisting of the New Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $1.04 billion and the New Revolver available for loans and letters of credit with an aggregate revolving commitment of up to $75 million (based on borrowing based eligibility as described below).

The preexisting Old Term Loans were repaid concurrent with the closing on the 2018 Credit Facilities and the preexisting Old Revolver was undrawn at close. The outstanding balances at the date of close on the Old Term Loans, which were repaid with proceeds from the 2018 Credit Facilities, were $323.4 million and $125 million, respectively.

In July 2018, the Company amended the New First Lien Term Loan (the “New First Lien Term Loan Amendment”) to expand the aggregate principal loan amount under the New First Lien Term Loan from $840 million to $910 million and to modify certain defined terms. In connection with this amendment, the Company incurred a consent fee of $0.4 million, which was capitalized as deferred financing costs and is being amortized over the remaining life of the New First Lien Term Loan. The additional $70 million along with funds contributed by Platinum were used to repay the $200 million New Second Lien Term Loan in full contemporaneously with the close of the Business Combination on October 17, 2018.

The New First Lien Term Loan is repayable at 1.0% per annum of the amount initially borrowed, paid in quarterly installments. The New First Lien Term Loan matures on February 28, 2025. The New First Lien Term Loan bears interest based, at our option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.75% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75% per annum. At June 30, 2019, the interest rate on the New First Lien Term Loan was 6.15%.

In addition, the New First Lien Term Loan contains provisions that require mandatory prepayments of excess cash flow (as defined by the New First Lien Term Loan agreement) to be made as of the last day of the fiscal year, beginning with fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, in an amount equal to the percentages set forth in the following table:

Consolidated first lien net leverage ratio (as defined by the New First Lien Term Loan agreement)		Applicable prepayment percentage
> 3.70:1.00		50%
< 3.70:1.00 and > 3.20:1.00		25%
< 3.20:1.00		0%

The New Revolver matures on February 28, 2023. Borrowing eligibility under the New Revolver is subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation based on (i) certain percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less (ii) certain reserve items, including outstanding letters of credit and other reserves. The New Revolver bears interest on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage applied to (1) LIBOR is either 1.25%, 1.50%, or 1.75%, or (2) the base rate is either 0.25%, 0.50%, or 0.75%, depending on the Company’s average availability to borrow under the commitment. At June 30, 2019, the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the New Revolver and availability to borrow under the New Revolver was $74.9 million, net of $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit.

Interest on the unused portion of the New Revolver is payable quarterly at 0.375% at June 30, 2019. The Company also is required to pay participation and fronting fees on $0.1 million in outstanding letters of credit at 1.38% as of June 30, 2019.

All borrowings and other extensions of credits under the 2018 Credit Facilities are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. At June 30, 2019, the Company was compliant with the 2018 Credit Facilities covenants. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure the Company’s indebtedness under the 2018 Credit Facilities.

The Company recognized a charge of $10.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 consisting of a $3.8 million prepayment penalty on the Old Term Loan balances, a $2.0 million write-off of preexisting deferred financing costs and $4.4 million of lender and third-party costs associated with the issuance of the 2018 Credit Facilities.

The Company recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, of $15.7 million and $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $31.7 million and $32.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The weighted average effective interest rate of the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Credit Facilities was 6.15% at June 30, 2019.

Fair Value Measurements

9.	Fair Value Measurements

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the amounts of our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value were immaterial.

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement includes a single definition of fair value to be used for financial reporting purposes, provides a framework for applying this definition and for measuring fair value under GAAP, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are summarized as follows:

Level 1 – Fair value is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Fair value is determined using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Fair value is determined using one or more significant inputs that are unobservable in active markets at the measurement date, such as a pricing model, discounted cash flow or similar technique.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in our unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the immediate to short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The estimated fair value of our New First Lien Term Loan as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and was calculated based upon available market information. The carrying value and fair value of our debt is as follows:

Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average shares outstanding for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period, determined using the treasury-stock method.

The components of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share are as follows:

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

11.	Income Taxes

Our interim income tax provision is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that period. The estimated annual effective tax rate requires judgment and is dependent upon several factors. We provide for income taxes under the liability method. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the tax basis of assets or liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.

We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will expire before we are able to realize their benefit. We calculate the valuation allowance in accordance with the authoritative guidance relating to income taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of these deferred tax assets, when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Significant judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance against deferred tax assets.

Our effective income tax rate was 32.6% and (4.7)% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 32.3% and (20.3)% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and 2018, respectively. The increase, compared to the same periods in 2018, was primarily due to higher pretax income across multiple jurisdictions, and an increase in permanent differences between book and taxable income, including the 162(m) executive compensation limitation, non-deductible secondary offering transaction costs, and the Global Intangible Low Tax Income inclusion.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019 was $2.7 million, of which $2.5 million would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense. As of June 30, 2019, we had $0.9 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties.

The Company is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and taxing authorities in various states. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax return remains subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years 2015 to 2018. The Company’s state income tax returns are under examination by certain states for tax years 2015 to 2017, and other state income tax returns are subject to examination for tax years 2014 to 2018. Tax returns for years prior to 2014 remain open in a number of states due to tax attributes generated but not utilized yet. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of additional tax deficiencies in each of the tax jurisdictions and, accordingly, makes appropriate adjustments to the tax provision as deemed necessary.

Tax Receivable Agreement

At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with PE Greenlight Holdings, LLC (the “Platinum Stockholder”) and Greenlight as the stockholder representative. The TRA generally provides for the payment by the post-closing company to the Platinum Stockholder of 50% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the post-closing company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the closing of the Business Combination as a result of the increase in the tax basis of the intangible assets which resulted from the acquisition of HTA by Verra Mobility prior to the Business Combination. The post-closing company generally will retain the benefit of the remaining 50% of these cash savings. The Company estimated the potential maximum benefit to be paid will be approximately $70 million, and recorded an initial liability and corresponding charge to equity at the closing of the Business Combination. Subsequently, the Company adjusted this amount. At June 30, 2019, the TRA was approximately $67.1 million of which $1.0 million was the current portion included in Accrued liabilities and $66.1 million included in Payable related to tax receivable agreement on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Future adjustments to the liability under the TRA will be based upon changes to future anticipated taxable income and tax rates and will be recorded in the statement of operations.

Earn-Out Agreement

Under the Merger Agreement, the Platinum Stockholder is entitled to receive additional shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Earn-Out Shares”) if the volume weighted average closing sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock on the Nasdaq exceeds certain thresholds for a period of at least 10 days out of 20 consecutive trading days at any time during the five-year period following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Common Stock Price”).

The Earn-Out Shares are issued by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder as follows:

•

a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Stock Price is greater than $13.00;

•

a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Stock Price is greater than $15.50;

•

a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Stock Price is greater than $18.00; and

•

a one-time issuance of 2,500,000 shares if the Common Stock Price is greater than $20.50.

If any of the Common Stock Price thresholds described in the foregoing clauses (each, a “Triggering Event”) are not achieved within the five-year period following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company will not be required to issue the Earn-Out Shares in respect of such Common Stock Price threshold. In no event shall the Platinum Stockholder be entitled to receive more than an aggregate of 10,000,000 Earn-Out Shares.

If, during the earn-out period, there is a change of control (as defined in the Merger Agreement) that will result in the holders of Parent Class A Common Stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of the applicable Common Stock Price required in connection with any Triggering Event (an “Acceleration Event”), then immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control: (a) any such Triggering Event that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred; and (b) Parent shall issue the applicable Earn-Out Shares to the cash consideration stockholders (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (in accordance with their respective pro rata cash share), and the recipients of the issued Earn-Out Shares shall be eligible to participate in such change of control.

The Company has estimated the fair value of the contingently issuable shares to be $73.15 million. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation option-pricing model to arrive at this estimate. Each tranche was valued separately giving specific consideration to the tranche’s price target. The simulation considered volatility and risk free rates utilizing a peer group based on a five year term. This was initially recorded as a distribution to shareholders and was presented as contingently issuable shares. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, any issuable shares would be transferred from contingently issuable shares to common stock and additional paid-in capital. Any contingently issuable shares not issued as a result of a Triggering Event not being attained by the end of earn-out period will be cancelled.

On April 26, 2019, the Triggering Event for the issuance of the first tranche of Earn-Out Shares occurred, as the volume weighted average closing price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of that date had been greater than $13.00 for 10 out of 20 consecutive trading days. This Triggering Event resulted in the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and an increase in the Company’s common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts of $18.3 million, with a corresponding decrease to the common stock contingent consideration account.

Platinum Stockholder Secondary Offering

On June 10, 2019, the Platinum Stockholder sold 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in a secondary offering. On July 8, 2019, the underwriters of the secondary offering fully exercised the overallotment option granted at the time of the secondary offering to purchase an additional 2,250,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at the secondary offering price of $12.50 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions, from the Platinum Stockholder. The Company received no proceeds from the secondary offering or the exercise of the overallotment option. The Company incurred $1.1 million in expenses related to the secondary offering, consisting of various registration, filing and professional services fees, which were included in the selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Specifically, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement dated as of October 17, 2018, the Company was required to pay, among other things, all registration and filing fees, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel for the Platinum Stockholder, and road show and marketing expenses. After giving effect to the secondary offering and exercise of the overallotment option, the Platinum Stockholder held approximately 24.6% of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock.

Advisory Services Agreement

On January 7, 2019, the Company entered into a new corporate advisory services agreement with Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC (“Advisors”), whereby Advisors will provide certain transactional and corporate advisory services to the Company as mutually agreed by the parties. No fees are payable under the agreement, but the Company must reimburse Advisors for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with services rendered.

14.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has issued various letters of credit under contractual arrangements with certain of its vendors and customers. Outstanding letters of credit under these arrangements totaled $0.1 million at June 30, 2019.

The Company has issued non-cancelable purchase commitments to certain vendors. The aggregate non-cancelable purchase commitments outstanding at June 30, 2019 were $17.9 million.

The Company is subject to tax audits in the normal course of business and does not have material contingencies recorded related to such audits.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company records a liability when it believes it is probable a loss will be incurred and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable, reasonably possible or remote, and as to whether a loss or a range of such loss is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events. The Company has determined that resolution of pending matters is not probable to have a material adverse impact on its condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability.

Segment Reporting

15.	Segment Reporting

The Company has two operating and reportable segments, Commercial Services and Government Solutions. Commercial Services offers toll and violation management solutions to commercial fleet vehicle owners, rental car companies and violation issuing authorities. Government Solutions implements and administers traffic safety programs and products for municipalities and local government agencies of all sizes. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) function is comprised of the Company’s CEO and certain defined representatives of the Company’s executive management team. The Company’s CODM function monitors operating performance, allocates resources and deploys capital based on these two segments.

Segment performance is based on revenues and income (loss) from operations before depreciation, amortization, gain (loss) on disposal of assets, impairment of property and equipment, stock-based compensation, interest expense, net, loss on extinguishment of debt, income taxes and after other (income), net. The tables below refer to this measure as Segment profit (loss). The aforementioned items are not indicative of operating performance, and, as a result are not included in the measures that are reviewed by the CODM function for the operating and reportable segments. Other (income), net consists primarily of credit card rebates earned on the prepayment of tolling violations and therefore included in Segment profit (loss). There are no significant non-cash items reported in Segment profit (loss).

The following tables set forth financial information by segment for the respective periods:
