Verra Mobility Announces Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

MESA, Ariz., October 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, announced today the financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

“We delivered a solid third quarter, highlighted by strong revenue, earnings, and cash flow generation,” said David Roberts, President and CEO, Verra Mobility. “Strong third quarter travel demand drove continued strength in Commercial Services and increased demand for automated traffic enforcement drove solid performance in Government Solutions. Moreover, we are continuing to see a robust bid pipeline for automated enforcement programs in our Government Solutions business. Based on our year-to-date financial performance and anticipated outlook for the remainder of the year, we are reaffirming our full year guidance for Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS while increasing Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance to the upper-end of the range provided.”

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

*Non-GAAP measure; refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” further below for explanatory notes and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

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

Third Quarter 2024 Segment Detail

Liquidity: As of September 30, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $206.1 million, and we generated $108.8 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

Net Debt and Net Leverage: As of September 30, 2024, Net Debt was $844.0 million and Net Leverage was 2.2x, as compared to $918.3 million and 2.5x as of 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 September 30, 2024, approximately $48.5 million remains available under our authorized share repurchase program.

2024 Full Year Guidance

Any guidance that we provide is subject to change as a variety of factors can affect actual operating results. Certain of the factors that may impact our actual operating results are identified below in the safe harbor language included within Forward-Looking Statements of this press release.

Based on our third quarter 2024 results and our outlook for the remainder of the year, we are reaffirming 2024 full year guidance for Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS and increasing Adjusted Free Cash Flow to the upper-end of the range.

Underlying Assumptions for 2024 Full Year Guidance

Moreover, we are also providing a preliminary view of our anticipated 2025 outlook in advance of providing guidance in our fourth quarter earnings call. At this time, we anticipate 2025 revenue growth at the low end of our long-term 6% to 8% guide we provided at our July 2022 investor day. Additionally, we expect growth in 2025 Adjusted EBITDA dollars to be in the low-to-mid single digits compared to 2024.

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 third 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.

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, Adjusted Free Cash Flow or Net Leverage 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, Adjusted EPS to net income per share, Adjusted Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities and Net Leverage, 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 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. We use the non-GAAP metrics Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow in connection with managing the business and converting Net Income to cash available for capital allocation and we use the non-GAAP metrics “Net Debt” and “Net Leverage” to understand our overall leverage position and to evaluate capital allocation decisions. 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 non-recurring items.

Free Cash Flow

We define “Free Cash Flow” as net cash flow provided by operating activities less purchases of installation and service parts and property and equipment.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

We define “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” as Free Cash Flow which further excludes certain one-time and non-recurring items such as the PlusPass legal settlement expense.

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 such as change in fair value of private placement warrants, change in fair value of interest rate swap, loss on extinguishment of debt, among other items.

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. The trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA is the sum of the year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA reported in the current year and the applicable quarter-to-date Adjusted EBITDA amounts reported in the prior year period (for example, the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA as of September 30, 2024 is the sum of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the three months ended December 31, 2023).
