Verra Mobility Announces Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results

 

Total year-to-date revenue of $293.4 million

Generated cash flows from operations of $44.4 million

 

Mesa, AZ, November 5, 2020 – Verra Mobility (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, announced today financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

“We are very pleased with the Company’s performance in the third quarter, including modest signs of improvement in Commercial Services, continued strength in Government Solutions and a return to profitability with very strong cash flow generation” said David Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, Verra Mobility. “Despite the ongoing challenges presented to our business, we continue to see strong margins and incremental contract wins that further demonstrate the strength of our model and importance of our mission.”

Third Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights

 

Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2020 was $96.9 million, down 24.4% compared to $128.2 million for the third quarter of 2019. Within total revenue, service revenue was $83.0 million and product sales contributed $13.9 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 income: Net income for the third quarter of 2020 was $6.7 million, or $0.04 per share, based on 162.6 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Net income for the comparable 2019 period was $17.8 million, or $0.11 per share, based on 163.7 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $53.5 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $70.8 million in the same period last year.

Year-To-Date 2020 Financial Highlights

 

Revenue: Total revenue for year-to-date 2020 was $293.4 million, down 12.7% compared to $336.3 million for the year-to-date 2019 period. Within total revenue, service revenue was $245.3 million and product sales contributed $48.1 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 year-to-date 2020 was $(2.0) million, or $(0.01) per share, based on 161.5 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Net income for the comparable 2019 period was $24.2 million, or $0.15 per share, based on 160.7 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

 

Adjusted EBITDA: Adjusted EBITDA was $136.0 million for year-to-date 2020, compared to $181.8 million for year-to-date 2019.

Liquidity: As of September 30, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were $129.2 million. We generated $44.4 million in net cash from operations for year-to-date 2020. As of September 30, 2020, we had total debt of $867.9 million,

net of cash on hand our net debt was $738.7 million, and a $44.0 million availability to borrow on the revolver that is undrawn.

The operating results for year-to-date 2020 were impacted by COVID-19, which emerged in late 2019 in China 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.

 

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.

Third Quarter 2020 Segment Detail

 

Commercial Services segment generated total revenue of $44.2 million, a decrease of 43% compared to the same period in 2019. Segment profit was $30.8 million, a 40% decrease from $51.1 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, the full impact of which is not yet known. Segment profit margin was 70% for 2020 and 66% for the same period in 2019.

 

Government Solutions segment generated total revenue of $52.8 million growing 4% over the same period in 2019. The growth in this segment is driven by service revenue increase for the period offset by a decline in product sales. Segment profit was $22.7 million, a 15% increase from $19.8 million in the prior year. Segment margin was 43% in 2020 compared to 39% for the prior year period.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

 

We define EBITDA as net income (loss) 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 income (loss), 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.

 

Adjusted Net Income

We define “Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles and certain non-cash or non-recurring expenses.

 

Adjusted EPS

We define “Adjusted EPS” as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares for the period.
