For Immediate Release
VERRA MOBILITY FILES SEC FORM 12B-25;
provides business update
Mesa, AZ., February 28, 2022 – Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart technology solutions, announces its filing of a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to disclose that it will not be able to file its Form 10-K by its due date of March 1, 2022 and is not expected to do so within the 15-day extension period allowed by the Form. During its year-end 2021 financial statement review process, Verra Mobility Corporation (the “Company”) determined that revenues from the Company’s recently acquired Australian subsidiary, Redflex Holdings Limited, may not have been recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s Audit Committee is conducting an investigation of the circumstances surrounding these issues to determine, among other things, whether any related adjustment is necessary for the previously issued financial statements for the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2021.
Given the additional time required to fully complete the Company’s assessment of the matter, as well as its assessments of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, the Company is unable to file its Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company expects to file its Form 10-K as soon as the Company’s review process is complete, which is not currently expected to be within the extended time period permitted by Rule 12b-25.
The Company will also delay its fourth quarter and fiscal 2021 earnings release and investor conference call, previously scheduled for February 28, 2022. The Company will make a further announcement in a subsequent press release to reschedule the date and time of the earnings conference call.
“We are currently reviewing certain transactions to determine if revenue has been recognized in the proper period, and to ensure proper accounting in the future.” said David Roberts, Verra Mobility’s president and chief executive officer. “We are focused on delivering timely, accurate and transparent financial reporting, and we will require additional time in order to fully complete our analysis. This review is related to the Company’s recently acquired Redflex operations, with no impact to cash, and no impact on our business outlook, which continues to be strong.”
In the meantime, the Company is providing the following update on year-end 2021 financial and business performance trends.
These expectations are preliminary in nature and subject to the Audit Committee investigation described herein and completion of the Company’s audit.
In addition to our expectations, the Company is providing the following business updates:
The Company will provide financial guidance for the full year 2022 upon the filing of its Form 10-K.
