Verra Mobility Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2020 Financial Results

 

Full year 2020 revenue of $393.6 million

Generated cash flows from operations of $46.9 million

 

Mesa, AZ, March 1, 2021 – Verra Mobility (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.

 

“We are pleased with our execution throughout this challenging year and we ended 2020 on a high note with a solid quarter. Additionally, we are incredibly excited about the strategic acquisition of Redflex and the value it will add to our Government Solutions segment,” said David Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, Verra Mobility. “As the pandemic’s effect on the global economy subsides, we believe our balanced product portfolio and long-term smart city innovation initiatives give us the ability to maintain momentum throughout 2021 and support our vision to be the global leader in smart transportation.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

 

Revenue: Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $100.2 million, down 11% compared to $112.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Within total revenue, service revenue was $91.0 million and product sales contributed $9.2 million. The decline was mainly in our Commercial Services service revenue, due to the significant impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on the rental car industry, which was partially offset by growth in Government Solutions service revenue.

 

Net (loss) income: Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $(1.4) million, or $(0.01) per share based on 162.1 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Net income for the comparable 2019 period was $9.2 million, or $0.06 per share, based on 163.9 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $45.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $59.6 million for the same period last year.

Full Year 2020 Financial Highlights

 

Revenue: Total revenue for 2020 was $393.6 million, down 12% compared to $448.7 million for the 2019 period. Within total revenue, service revenue was $336.3 million and product sales contributed $57.3 million. The decline was in our Commercial Services service revenue, due to COVID-19’s significant negative impact on the rental car industry, which was offset by growth in product sales and service revenue in our Government Solutions segment.

 

Net (loss) income: Net loss for 2020 was $(3.4) million, or $(0.02) per share, based on 161.6 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Net income for the comparable 2019 period was $33.3 million, or $0.21 per share, based on 161.5 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $181.8 million for full year 2020, compared to $241.4 million for 2019.

Liquidity: As of December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $120.3 million and we generated $46.9 million in cash flows from operations for 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we had total debt of $865.6 million, net of cash on hand our net debt was $745.4 million, and a $48.8 million availability to borrow on the revolver that is undrawn.

The operating results for the full year 2020 were impacted by COVID-19, which emerged in late 2019 and has since spread throughout the world. COVID-19 has had and continues to have a significant negative impact on the global economy, including the rental car industry due to reduced airline travel and widespread travel restrictions throughout the world. Refer to the section below entitled, Forward Looking Statements, for further discussion on risks and uncertainties.

Pending Acquisition: On January 21, 2021, we entered into a Scheme Implementation Agreement with Redflex Holdings Limited to acquire all of Redflex’s outstanding equity for approximately AUD 146.1 million, and the closing of the acquisition is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2021 subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions. If completed, this would expand our photo enforcement presence in the United States, Australia and Europe.

 

The Company reports its results of operations based on two operating segments:

 

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 related to red-light, speed, school bus, and city bus lanes.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Segment Detail

 

Commercial Services segment generated total revenue of $48.2 million, a decrease of 29% compared to the same period in 2019. Segment profit was $25.2 million, a 40% decrease from $42.1 million in the prior year. The significant decreases in revenue and profit resulted from COVID-19’s negative impact on the rental car industry discussed above, and we anticipate that the impact will result in year over year revenue declines through March 2021. Segment profit margin was 52% for 2020 and 62% for the same period in 2019.

 

Government Solutions segment generated total revenue of $52.0 million growing 17% over the same period in 2019. The growth in this segment is driven by service revenue increase for the period along with a slight increase in product sales. Segment profit was $20.8 million, a 18% increase from $17.6 million in the prior year. Segment margin remained steady at 40% in 2020 and 2019.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

 

We define EBITDA as net (loss) 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, as a result, they may not be comparable to similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies.

 

We use these metrics to measure our performance from period to period both at the consolidated level as well as within our operating segments, to evaluate and fund incentive compensation programs and to compare our results to those of our competitors. In addition to Adjusted EBITDA being a significant measure of performance for management purposes, we also believe that this presentation provides 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. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net (loss) income, cash flows from operations, or other consolidated income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

Free Cash Flow

 

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