Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, products, services, and technology offerings, market conditions, growth and trends, expansion plans and opportunities, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “preliminary,” “likely” and similar expressions, and the negative of these expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include, among other things:
•customer concentration in our Commercial Services and Government Solutions segments;
•our ability to manage our substantial level of indebtedness;
•risks and uncertainties related to our government contracts, including legislative changes, termination rights, delays in payments, audits and investigations;
•decreases in the prevalence of automated and other similar methods of photo enforcement, parking solutions or the use of tolling;
•our ability to keep up with technological developments and changing customer preferences;
•our ability to compete in a highly competitive and rapidly evolving market;
•decreased interest in outsourcing from our customers;
•the success of our new products and changes to existing products and services;
•our ability to successfully implement our acquisition strategy or integrate acquisitions;
•failure in or breaches of our networks or systems, including as a result of cyber-attacks;
•our ability to manage the risks, uncertainties and exposures related to our international operations;
•our ability to acquire necessary intellectual property and adequately protect our existing intellectual property;
•risks and uncertainties related to our share repurchase program;
•our reliance on a limited number of third-party vendors and service providers;
•our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls;
•risks and uncertainties related to litigation, disputes and regulatory investigations;
•our ability to properly perform under our contracts and otherwise satisfy our customers; and
•the impact of COVID-19 on our business and results of operations.
You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. We undertake no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

(Unaudited)
1. Description of Business
Verra Mobility Corporation (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Verra Mobility”) offers integrated technology solutions and services to its customers who are located throughout the world, primarily within the United States, Australia, Canada and Europe. The Company is organized into three operating segments: Commercial Services, Government Solutions and Parking Solutions (see Note 14. Segment Reporting).
The Company’s 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. Electronic toll payment services enable fleet drivers and rental car customers to use high-speed cashless toll lanes or all-electronic cashless toll roads. Approximately 64% of toll roads in the United States have transitioned to cashless or all-electronic payment. 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. In Europe, the Company provides violations processing through Euro Parking Collection plc and consumer tolling services through Pagatelia S.L.
The Company’s Government Solutions segment offers photo enforcement solutions and services to its customers. The Government Solutions segment provides complete, end-to-end speed, red-light, school bus stop arm and bus lane enforcement solutions within the United States and Canada. These 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. The international operations for this segment primarily involve the sale of traffic enforcement products and related maintenance services.
The Company’s Parking Solutions segment offers an integrated suite of parking software and hardware solutions to its customers, which include universities, municipalities, healthcare facilities and commercial parking operators. This segment develops specialized hardware and parking management software that provides a platform for the issuance of parking permits, enforcement, gateless vehicle counting, event parking and citation services. It also produces and markets its proprietary software as a service to its customers throughout the United States and Canada.
The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware on August 15, 2016, under the name “Gores Holdings II, Inc.” (“Gores”) as a special purpose acquisition company. On January 19, 2017, Gores consummated its initial public offering (the “IPO”), following which its shares began trading on Nasdaq. On June 21, 2018, Gores entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Greenlight Holding II Corporation, PE Greenlight Holdings, LLC (the “Platinum Stockholder”), AM Merger Sub I, Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Gores, and AM Merger Sub II, LLC, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Gores. On October 17, 2018, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Business Combination”) and changed its name to “Verra Mobility Corporation.” 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.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited 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 condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation.
10
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 condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions include those related to allocating the transaction price for revenue recognition, inventory valuation, allowance for credit losses, fair value of the private placement warrant liabilities, fair value of the interest rate swap, self-insurance liability, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions, apportionment for state income taxes, the tax receivable agreement liability, fair value of privately-held securities, impairment assessments of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived 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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Significant customers are those which represent more than 10% of the Company’s total revenue or accounts receivable, net. Revenue from the single Government Solutions customer exceeding 10% of total revenue is presented below:

| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
| | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
City of New York Department of Transportation | | | 17.8 | % | | | 19.3 | % |
The City of New York Department of Transportation (“NYCDOT”) represented 26% and 22% of total accounts receivable, net as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. There is no material reserve related to NYCDOT open receivables as amounts are deemed collectible based on current conditions and expectations. No other Government Solutions customer exceeded 10% of total accounts receivable, net as of any period presented.

There were no significant customer concentrations that exceeded 10% of total revenue or accounts receivables, net for the Parking Solutions segment.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company reviews historical credit losses and customer payment trends on receivables and develops loss rate estimates as of the balance sheet date, which includes adjustments for current and future expectations using probability-weighted assumptions about potential outcomes. Receivables are written off against the allowance for credit losses when it is probable that amounts will not be collected based on the terms of the customer contracts, and subsequent recoveries reverse the previous write-off and apply to the receivable in the period recovered. No interest or late fees are charged on delinquent accounts. The Company evaluates the adequacy of its allowance for expected credit losses by comparing its actual write-offs to its previously recorded estimates and adjusts appropriately.
The Company identified portfolio segments based on the type of business, industry in which the customer operates and historical credit loss patterns. The following presents the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

(1)Driver-billed consists of receivables from drivers of rental cars and fleet management companies for which the Company bills on behalf of its customers. Receivables not collected from drivers within a defined number of days are transferred to customers subject to applicable bad debt sharing agreements.
The Commercial Services (Driver-billed) portfolio segment’s credit loss estimate as of March 31, 2023 increased compared to the prior year due to increased revenue that impacted the volume of transactions as a result of recovery from COVID-19.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents amounts that have been invoiced in advance and are expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods, and it primarily relates to Government Solutions and Parking Solutions customers. The Company had approximately $16.0 million and $12.2 million of deferred revenue in the Government Solutions segment as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The majority of the remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2023 are expected to be completed and recognized as revenue in the next 12 months and $5.9 million is expected to be recognized between 2024 through 2027. The Company had approximately $18.0 million and $21.2 million of deferred revenue in the Parking Solutions segment as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The majority of the remaining performance obligations as of March 31, 2023 are expected to be completed and recognized as revenue in the next 12 months and $0.8 million is expected to be recognized after March 31, 2024.
Interest Rate Swap
In December 2022, the Company entered into a cancellable interest rate swap agreement to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with the LIBOR (now transitioned to Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate “SOFR”, as discussed below) portion of the variable interest rate on its 2021 Term Loan. Under the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate and the counterparty pays a variable interest rate. The Company entered into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement with the counterparty which provides for the net settlement of all, or a specified group, of derivative transactions through a single payment. The notional amount on the interest rate swap is $675.0 million. The Company has the option to effectively terminate the interest rate swap agreement starting in December 2023, and monthly thereafter until December 2025. The Company is treating the interest rate swap as an economic hedge for accounting purposes and any changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument (including accrued interest) and related cash payments are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within the loss on interest rate swap line item.
The Company recorded a $2.8 million loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023, of which approximately $1.6 million is associated with the derivative instrument re-measured to fair value at the end of the reporting period and $1.2 million relates to the monthly cash payments. The effect of remeasurement to fair value is recorded within the operating activities section and the monthly cash payments are recorded within the investing activities section, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. See below for further discussion on the fair value measurement of the interest rate swap, and Note 6, Long-term Debt, for additional information on the Company's mix of fixed and variable debt.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Adopted
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. It provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition.
In March 2023, the Company amended its 2021 Term Loan agreement to transition away from LIBOR to Term SOFR with the upcoming cessation of LIBOR. As a result, the Company adopted the standard and elected to apply the optional expedients which enable it to consider the new interest rate as a continuation of the existing loan agreement and account for it prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
On June 30, 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The ASU clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. It also requires entities with investments in equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions to disclose certain qualitative and quantitative information about such securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.

2021 Term Loan and Senior Notes
In March 2021, VM Consolidated, Inc. (“VM Consolidated”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement No.1 to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “2021 Term Loan”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 Term Loan has an aggregate borrowing of $650.0 million, maturing on March 26, 2028, and an accordion feature providing for an additional $250.0 million of term loans, subject to satisfaction of certain requirements. In connection with the 2021 Term Loan, the Company had an offering discount cost of $3.3 million and $0.7 million of deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan.
In addition, in March 2021, VM Consolidated issued an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million in Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Notes”), due on April 15, 2029. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred $5.7 million in lender and third-party costs, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.
The net proceeds from both the 2021 Term Loan and the Senior Notes were used in March 2021 to repay in full all outstanding debt which was represented by the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement with a balance of $865.6 million.
In December 2021, VM Consolidated entered into an agreement to exercise the accordion feature under the 2021 Term Loan, borrowing $250.0 million in incremental term loans (“Incremental Term Loan”). The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan were used, along with cash on hand, to fund an acquisition in December 2021. In connection with the Incremental Term Loan, the Company had an offering discount cost of $1.3 million and $3.8 million of deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan. The Incremental Term Loan was combined with the 2021 Term Loan to be a single tranche of term loan borrowings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company made early repayments of $62.5 million on the 2021 Term Loan and as a result, the total principal outstanding was $821.4 million as of March 31, 2023. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million related to the write-off of pre-existing deferred financing costs and discounts.
The 2021 Term Loan is repayable at 1.0% per annum of the amount initially borrowed, paid in quarterly installments. It bears interest based, at the Company’s option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum. In March 2023, the Company amended its 2021 Term Loan agreement to transition away from LIBOR to Term SOFR with the upcoming cessation of LIBOR. To compensate for the differences in reference rates utilized, the amended agreement also includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.11448% for an interest period of one-month duration, 0.26161% for a three-month duration, 0.42826% for a six-month duration, and 0.71513% for twelve-months duration in addition to Term SOFR and the applicable margin. The Company has applied the optional expedients in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform, and elected to treat the interest rate transition to Term SOFR as a continuation of the existing loan agreement and account for it prospectively. As of March 31, 2023, the new all-in interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan was 8.17%.
15
In addition, the 2021 Term Loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to the product of the excess cash flows of the Company (as defined in the 2021 Term Loan agreement) and the applicable prepayment percentages (calculated as of the last day of the fiscal year, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2022), as set forth in the following table:
| | |
Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (As Defined by the 2021 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% |
Interest on the Senior Notes is fixed at 5.50% per annum and is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. On or after April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below in percentages by year, plus accrued and unpaid interest:
| | |
Year | | Percentage |
2024 | | 102.750% |
2025 | | 101.375% |
2026 and thereafter | | 100.000% |
In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes before April 15, 2024, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings.
The Revolver
The Company has a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver”) with a commitment of up to $75.0 million available for loans and letters of credit. The Revolver matures on December 20, 2026. Borrowing eligibility under the 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 Revolver bears interest on either (1) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage applied to (1) Term SOFR 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. There is a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for a one-month duration, 0.15% for a three-month duration, and 0.25% for a six-month duration, in addition to Term SOFR and the applicable margin percentages. There are no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The availability to borrow was $74.8 million, net of $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2023.
Interest on the unused portion of the Revolver is payable quarterly at 0.375% and the Company is also required to pay participation and fronting fees at 1.38% on $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2023.
All borrowings and other extensions of credits under the 2021 Term Loan, Senior Notes and the Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure the Company’s indebtedness under the 2021 Term Loan. At March 31, 2023, the Company was compliant with all debt covenants.
Interest Expense
The Company recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, of $22.7 million and $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The weighted average effective interest rates on the Company’s outstanding borrowings were 7.4% and 7.0% at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, for additional information on the interest rate swap entered into in December 2022 to hedge the Company's exposure against rising interest rates.
7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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
16
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.
The carrying amounts reported in the Company’s 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 the Company’s long-term debt was calculated based upon available market information. The carrying value and the estimated fair value of long-term debt are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The fair value of the private placement warrant liabilities is measured on a recurring basis and is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using significant unobservable inputs, primarily related to estimated volatility, and is therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The key assumptions used were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
Stock price | | $ | 16.92 | | | $ | 13.83 | |
Strike price | | $ | 11.50 | | | $ | 11.50 | |
Volatility | | | 34.0 | % | | | 44.0 | % |
Remaining life (in years) | | | 0.6 | | | | 0.8 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.91 | % | | | 4.74 | % |
Expected dividend yield | | | 0.0 | % | | | 0.0 | % |
Estimated fair value | | $ | 5.80 | | | $ | 3.61 | |
The Company is exposed to valuation risk on these Level 3 financial instruments. The risk of exposure is estimated using a sensitivity analysis of potential changes in the significant unobservable inputs, primarily the volatility input that is the most susceptible to valuation risk. A 5% increase to the volatility input at March 31, 2023 would increase the estimated fair value by $0.06 per unit. A 5% decrease to the volatility input at March 31, 2023 would decrease the estimated fair value by $0.04 per unit. The following summarizes the changes in fair value of private placement warrant liabilities included in net income for the respective periods:

| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
($ in thousands) | | 2023 | | | 2022 | |

The Company has an equity investment measured at cost with a carrying value of $2.0 million as of March 31, 2023, and is only adjusted to fair value if there are identified events that would indicate a need for an upward or downward adjustment or changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment. The estimation of fair value requires the use of significant unobservable inputs, such as voting rights and obligations in the securities held, and is therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. There were no identified events that required a fair value adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The recurring fair value measurement of the interest rate swap was valued based on observable inputs for similar assets and liabilities including swaption values and other observable inputs for interest rates and yield curves and is classified within
17
level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The below presents the changes in fair value of the interest rate swap in the gross balances included within other non-current assets and accrued liabilities for the respective periods:

8. Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted net income 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 per share are as follows:

9. Income Taxes
The Company’s 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. The Company provides 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.
The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will expire before the Company is able to realize their benefit. The Company calculates 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.
18
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 63.2% and 40.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The primary driver for the effective tax rate variance is due to the permanent differences related to the mark-to-market adjustment on the private placement warrants.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits increased by $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to prior year tax positions. As of March 31, 2023, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $11.4 million, of which $2.8 million would affect our effective tax rate if recognized. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through income tax expense. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $0.7 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 jurisdictions. The Company files U.S. federal and various foreign income tax returns which are subject to examination by the taxing authorities in the respective jurisdictions, generally for three or four years after they are filed. The Company’s state income tax returns are generally no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities prior to 2018; however, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and research credit carryforwards arising prior to that year are subject to adjustment. The Company is currently under audit by various state tax jurisdictions for the years 2018 and 2019, however, no material adjustments are anticipated. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of tax deficiencies in each of the tax jurisdictions and, accordingly, makes appropriate adjustments to the tax provision as deemed necessary.
10. Stockholders’ Equity
Warrants
As of March 31, 2023, there were 18,092,120 warrants outstanding to acquire shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, including (i) 6,666,666 warrants originally issued to Gores Sponsor II, LLC in a private placement in connection with the IPO (the “Private Placement Warrants”) and (ii) the remaining warrants issued in connection with the IPO (the “Public Warrants” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “Warrants”).
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company processed the exercise of approximately 1.9 million Public Warrants on a cashless basis in exchange for 632,745 shares of Class A Common Stock. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, there were an additional 1.4 million Public Warrants exercised on a cashless basis in exchange for 424,877 shares of Class A Common Stock. Warrantholders were permitted to exercise on a cashless basis during a period when there was not an effective registration statement available for the resale of the shares underlying the warrants. The Company's most recent registration statement became effective April 19, 2023.
The Warrants have a five-year term and will expire in October 2023, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, if the last sale price of its Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third business day before it sends the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders. The Private Placement Warrants, however, are nonredeemable so long as they are held by Gores Sponsor II, LLC or its permitted transferees.
Share Repurchase Program
In November 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock over an 18-month period in open market, accelerated share repurchase or privately negotiated transactions, each as permitted under applicable rules and regulations, any of which may use pre-arranged trading plans that are designed to meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Company has not yet repurchased shares under this program.

11. Stock-Based Compensation
The following details the components of stock-based compensation for the respective periods:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
($ in thousands) | | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
Operating expenses | | $ | 332 | | | $ | 214 | |
Selling, general and administrative expenses | | | 3,046 | | | | 4,232 | |
Total stock-based compensation expense | | $ | 3,378 | | | $ | 4,446 | |
The decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the 2022 period is primarily due to accelerated vesting of RSUs granted to an executive officer as part of a separation agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

12. Other Significant Transactions
Tax Receivable Agreement
At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA”) with the Platinum Stockholder. On August 3, 2022, the Platinum Stockholder sold and transferred to Lakeside Smart Holdco L.P.(“Lakeside”), all of its rights, remaining interests and obligations as of that date under the TRA. The TRA provides for the payment to Lakeside of 50.0% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that the 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 increased tax basis of certain acquired intangibles prior to the Business Combination. The Company generally retains the benefit of the remaining 50.0% of these cash savings. The Company estimated the potential maximum benefit to be paid will be approximately $70.0 million, and recorded an initial liability and corresponding charge to equity at the closing of the Business Combination.
At March 31, 2023, the TRA liability was approximately $55.9 million of which $5.0 million was the current portion and $50.9 million was the non-current portion, both of which are included in the respective tax receivable agreement liability line items on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
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:
| | |
Common Stock Price Thresholds | | One-time Issuance of Shares |
> $13.00 (a) | | 2,500,000 |
> $15.50 (a) | | 2,500,000 |
> $18.00 | | 2,500,000 |
> $20.50 | | 2,500,000 |
(a)The first and second tranches of Earn-Out Shares have been issued, as discussed below.
If any of the Common Stock Price thresholds above (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 the Company’s 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, 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) the Company 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 estimated the original fair value of the contingently issuable shares to be $73.15 million, of which $36.6 million remains contingently issuable as of March 31, 2023. The estimated value is not subject to future revisions during the five-year period discussed above. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation option-pricing model to arrive at its original 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 common stock contingent consideration. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, any issuable shares are transferred from common stock contingent consideration to common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts. Any contingently issuable shares not issued as a result of a Triggering Event not being attained by the end of the earn-out period will be canceled.
21
On April 26, 2019 and on January 27, 2020, the Triggering Events for the issuance of the first and second tranches of Earn-Out Shares occurred, as the volume weighted average closing sale price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock as of that date had been greater than $13.00 and $15.50, respectively, for 10 out of 20 consecutive trading days. These Triggering Events resulted in the issuance of an aggregate 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to the Platinum Stockholder and an increase in the Company’s common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts of $36.6 million, with a corresponding decrease to the common stock contingent consideration account. At March 31, 2023, the potential future Earn-Out Shares issuable are between zero and 5.0 million.
22
13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has $2.0 million of bank guarantees at March 31, 2023 required to support bids and contracts with certain international customers.
The Company has non-cancelable purchase commitments to certain vendors. The aggregate non-cancelable purchase commitments outstanding at March 31, 2023 were $21.1 million. The majority of these outstanding commitments are expected to be incurred in 2023, and approximately $3.5 million is expected to be incurred between 2024 and 2025.
The Company is subject to tax audits in the normal course of business and does not have material contingencies recorded related to such audits.
The Company accrues for claims and contingencies when losses become probable and reasonably estimable. As of the end of each applicable reporting period, the Company reviews each of its matters and, where it is probable that a liability has been or will be incurred, the Company accrues for all probable and reasonably estimable losses. Where the Company can reasonably estimate a range of loss it may incur regarding such a matter, the Company records an accrual for the amount within the range that constitutes its best estimate. If the Company can reasonably estimate a range but no amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other, the Company uses the amount that is the low end of such range.
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 results of operations, cash flows, or financial position, and accordingly, no material contingency accruals are recorded. However, the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability.
Brantley v. City of Gretna is a class action lawsuit filed in the 24th Judicial District Court of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana against the City of Gretna (“City”) and its safety camera vendor, Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. in April 2016. The plaintiff class, which was certified on March 30, 2021, alleges that the City’s safety camera program was implemented and operated in violation of local ordinances and the state constitution, including that the City’s hearing process violated the plaintiffs’ due process rights for lack of a “neutral” arbiter of liability for traffic infractions. Plaintiffs seek recovery of traffic infraction fines paid. The City and Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. appealed the trial court’s ruling granting class certification, which was denied and their petition for discretionary review of the certification ruling by the Louisiana Supreme Court was declined. Merits discovery in the trial court is underway. No trial date has been set. Based on the information available to the Company at present, it cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss for this action and, accordingly, it has not accrued any liability associated with this action.
14. Segment Reporting
The Company has three operating and reportable segments, Commercial Services, Government Solutions and Parking Solutions. Commercial Services offers toll and violation management solutions and title and registration services 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 government agencies of all sizes. Parking Solutions provides an integrated suite of parking software and hardware solutions to its customers. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker function (“CODM”) is comprised of the Company’s CEO and certain defined representatives of the Company’s executive management team. The Company’s CODM monitors operating performance, allocates resources and deploys capital based on these three segments.
Segment performance is based on revenues and income from operations before depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation. The measure also excludes interest expense, net, income taxes and certain other transactions and is inclusive of other income, net. The tables below refer to this measure as segment profit. 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 for the segments. Other income, net included in segment profit below consists primarily of credit card rebates earned on the prepayment of tolling
23
transactions and gains or losses on foreign currency transactions, and excludes certain non-operating expenses inapplicable to segments.
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company changed its measure of segment profit to include loss on disposal of assets, net, and to exclude transaction and transformation expenses that were previously included within the selling, general and administrative expenses and other income line items below. The comparable prior period has been recast to conform to the revised presentation although the impact of this revision to previously reported segment profit was not material.
The following tables set forth financial information by segment for the respective periods:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and our financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Please also refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Business Overview
We are a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions throughout the United States, Australia, Europe and Canada. We make transportation safer, smarter and more connected through our integrated, data-driven solutions, including toll and violations management, title and registration services, automated safety and traffic enforcement and commercial parking management. We bring together vehicles, hardware, software, data, and people to solve transportation challenges for customers around the world, including fleet owners such as rental car companies (“RACs”) and fleet management companies (“FMCs”), governments, universities, healthcare facilities, commercial parking operators and other violation-issuing authorities. Our vision is to develop and use technology and data intelligence to make transportation safer, smarter and more connected.
Executive Summary
We operate under long-term contracts and a highly reoccurring service revenue model. We continue to execute our strategy to grow revenue organically and expand offerings into adjacent markets through innovation or acquisition. During the periods presented, we:
•Increased total revenue by $21.5 million, or 12.6%, from $170.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $191.9 million in same period in 2023. The increase was mainly due to service revenue resulting from increased travel volume and higher adoption of the all-inclusive product offering in the Commercial Services segment and expansion of speed programs in the Government Solutions segment.
•Generated cash flows from operating activities of $45.2 million and $31.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our cash on hand was $64.3 million as of March 31, 2023.
•Continued to focus on debt management and lowering our exposure to higher interest rates, and as a result, made early repayments totaling $62.5 million on our 2021 Term Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Segment Information
We have three operating and reportable segments, Commercial Services, Government Solutions and Parking Solutions:
•Our Commercial Services segment offers toll and violation management solutions and title and registration services for RACs and FMCs in North America. In Europe, we provide tolling and violations processing services.
•Our Government Solutions segment offers photo enforcement solutions and services to its customers. We provide complete, end-to-end speed, red-light, school bus stop arm and bus lane enforcement solutions within the United States and Canada. The international operations primarily involve the sale of traffic enforcement products and related maintenance services.
•Our Parking Solutions segment provides an integrated suite of parking software and hardware solutions to universities, municipalities, healthcare facilities and commercial parking operators in the United States and Canada.
Segment performance is based on revenues and income from operations before depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation. The measure also excludes interest expense, net, income taxes and certain other transactions and is inclusive of other income, net.
During the third quarter of 2022, we changed our measure of segment profit to include loss on disposal of assets, net, and to exclude transaction and transformation expenses that were previously included within the selling, general and administrative
30
expenses and other income, net line items. The comparable prior period has been recast to conform to the revised presentation, although the impact of this revision to previously reported segment profit was not material. See Note 14, Segment Reporting.
Primary Components of Our Operating Results
Revenues
Service Revenue. Our Commercial Services segment generates service revenue primarily through the operation and management of tolling programs and processing violations for RACs, FMCs and other large fleet customers. These solutions are full-service offerings by which we enroll the license plates of our customers’ vehicles and transponders with tolling authority accounts, pay tolls and violations on the customers’ behalf and, through proprietary technology, integrate with customer data to match the toll or violation to the driver and then bill the driver (or our customer, as applicable) for use of the service. The cost of certain tolls, violations and our customers’ share of administration fees are netted against revenue. We also generate service revenue in our Commercial Services segment through processing titles and registrations.
Our Government Solutions segment generates service revenue through the operation and maintenance of photo enforcement systems. Revenue drivers in this segment include the number of systems installed and the monthly revenue per system. Ancillary service revenue is generated in our Government Solutions segment from payment processing, pass-through fees for collection expense, and other fees.
Our Parking Solutions segment generates service revenue mainly from offering software as a service, subscription fees, professional services and citation processing services related to parking management solutions to its customers.
Product Sales. Product sales are generated by the sale of photo enforcement equipment in the Government Solutions segment and specialized hardware in the Parking Solutions segment. Customer buying patterns vary greatly from period to period related to product sales.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue consists of recurring service costs, collection and other third-party costs in our segments.

Commercial Services service revenue increased by $12.2 million, or 16.6%, from $73.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $85.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increased travel volume and related tolling activity compared to the prior year which was still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during January and February of 2022. An increase in the volume of tolls incurred by RAC vehicles along with the
32
continued adoption of the all-inclusive fee structure, shifting from an incidental or daily usage rate by our large RAC customers, contributed to a $8.8 million growth in revenue. In addition, the increase in enrolled vehicles as well as higher tolling activity for our FMC customers contributed to a $1.6 million growth in revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.
Government Solutions service revenue increased by $10.0 million to $83.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $73.2 million in the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by the expansion of speed programs, as speed is the largest product in this segment and contributed approximately $9.7 million to the service revenue growth. The remaining increase is attributable to expansions across red-light, school bus stop arm, and bus lane programs.
Parking Solutions service revenue grew by $1.4 million to $15.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, from $14.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The growth was primarily due to increased revenue from software as a service product offerings, professional services and citation processing services related to parking management solutions.
Product Sales. Product sales were $7.2 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Product sales decreased by approximately $2.0 million, which was mainly due to a $2.9 million decrease in product sales to Government Solutions customers, offset by a $0.9 million growth in product sales in the Parking Solutions segment. Customer buying patterns vary greatly from period to period related to product sales.
Cost of Service Revenue. Cost of service revenue increased from $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $0.5 million increase was mainly due to increased recurring service costs in the Parking Solutions segment.
Cost of Product Sales. Cost of product sales decreased by $0.6 million from $6.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $5.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was mainly due to a decrease in costs in the Government Solutions segment offset by an increase in costs in the Parking Solutions segment.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $10.8 million, or 21.1%, from $51.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $61.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in 2023 was primarily attributable to increases of $5.7 million in wages expense, $1.6 million of recurring service costs and $1.6 million for subcontractor costs compared to the prior period. Operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue increased slightly from 30.0% to 32.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The following table presents operating expenses by segment:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $40.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $41.6 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease is primarily due to $1.8 million overall decrease in credit loss expense due to improved economic conditions based on customer payment trends in the last 12 months and $1.2 million lower stock-based compensation expense, which were partially offset by higher wages expense. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue decreased from 24.4% to 20.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, respectively. The following table presents selling, general and administrative expenses by segment:

Depreciation, Amortization and (Gain) Loss on Disposal of Assets, Net. Depreciation, amortization and (gain) loss on disposal of assets, net, decreased by $5.6 million to $30.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $35.9 million for the same period in 2022. This was mainly due to certain non-compete and developed technology intangible assets being fully amortized in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the prior year.
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense, net increased by $8.4 million from $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $22.7 million for the same period in 2023. This increase is primarily attributable to rising interest rates over the past twelve months. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Change in Fair Value of Private Placement Warrants. We recorded losses of $14.6 million and $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to the changes in fair value of our Private Placement Warrants, which are accounted for as liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in fair value is the result of re-measurement of the liability at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of the warrants increased primarily as a result of the increase in our common stock price at the end of each period.
Loss on Interest Rate Swap. We recorded a $2.8 million loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023, of which approximately $1.6 million is associated with the derivative instrument re-measured to fair value at the end of the reporting period and $1.2 million related to the monthly cash payments on the interest rate swap.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. We recorded a $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2023 related to the write-off of pre-existing deferred financing costs and discounts in connection with the early repayment of $62.5 million on the 2021 Term Loan.
Other Income, Net. Other income, net was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase of $0.9 million is primarily attributable to volume rebates earned from total spend on purchasing cards from increased tolling and travel activity.
Income Tax Provision. Income tax provision was $7.8 million representing an effective tax rate of 63.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a tax provision of $6.8 million, representing an effective tax rate of 40.4% for the same period in 2022. The primary driver for the effective tax rate variance is the permanent differences related to the mark-to-market adjustment on the private placement warrants.
Net Income. We had net income of $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to a net income of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $5.4 million decrease in net income was primarily due to the
34
change in fair value of private placement warrants, increased interest expense, and the other statement of operations activity discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and the available borrowing under our Revolver (defined below).
We have incurred significant long-term debt as a result of acquisitions completed in prior years.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flows provided by operating activities and our ability to borrow under our Revolver (as defined below) will be sufficient to meet operating cash requirements and service debt obligations for at least the next 12 months. Our ability to generate sufficient cash from our operating activities depends on our future performance, which is subject to general economic, political, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. In addition, our future capital expenditures and other cash requirements could be higher than currently expected due to various factors, including any expansion of our business or strategic acquisitions. Should we pursue strategic acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital, which may be in the form of additional long-term debt, borrowing on our Revolver, or equity financings, all of which may not be available to us on favorable terms or at all.
We have the ability to borrow under our Revolver to meet obligations as they come due. As of March 31, 2023, we had $74.8 million available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under our Revolver.
We made early repayments totaling $62.5 million on our 2021 Term Loan during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The City of New York Department of Transportation (“NYCDOT”) represented 26% and 22% of total accounts receivable, net as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. There is no material reserve related to NYCDOT open receivables as amounts are deemed collectible based on current conditions and expectations.
The following table sets forth certain captions indicated on our statements of cash flows for the respective periods:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended March 31, | |
($ in thousands) | | 2023 | | | 2022 | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 45,217 | | | $ | 31,247 | |
Net cash used in investing activities | | | (19,584 | ) | | | (11,865 | ) |
Net cash used in financing activities | | | (66,626 | ) | | | (28,652 | ) |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased by $14.0 million from $31.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 to $45.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net income year over year decreased by approximately $5.4 million, from $10.0 million in 2022 to $4.6 million in 2023. The aggregate adjustments to reconcile net income to cash provided by operating activities increased $21.7 million due to the change in fair value of private placement warrants and the change in deferred income taxes, partially offset by decreased amortization expense year over year. The aggregate changes in operating assets and liabilities decreased by $2.2 million in 2023 compared to prior year primarily due to cash paid for capital purchases that were accrued as of December 31, 2022.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $19.6 million and $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There was an increase in cash used in 2023 related to the purchases of installation and service parts and property and equipment compared to the prior year, and due to the monthly cash payments on the interest rate swap entered into in December 2022 to hedge our exposure to rising interest rates.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $66.6 million and $28.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The cash used in 2023 was mainly due to the early repayments totaling $62.5 million on our 2021 Term
35
Loan and a $2.5 million payment of employee tax withholding related to RSUs and PSUs vesting. The cash used in 2022 was mainly due to the repayment of $25.0 million of borrowing on the Revolver in January 2022 and the quarterly principal payment on the 2021 Term Loan.
Long-term Debt
2021 Term Loan and Senior Notes
In March 2021, VM Consolidated entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement No.1 to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “2021 Term Loan”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2021 Term Loan has an aggregate borrowing of $650.0 million, maturing on March 26, 2028, and an accordion feature providing for an additional $250.0 million of term loans, subject to satisfaction of certain requirements. In connection with the 2021 Term Loan, the Company had an offering discount cost of $3.3 million and $0.7 million of deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan.
In addition, in March 2021, VM Consolidated issued an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million in Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Notes”), due on April 15, 2029. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company incurred $5.7 million in lender and third-party costs, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.
The net proceeds from both the 2021 Term Loan and the Senior Notes were used in March 2021 to repay in full all outstanding debt which was represented by the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement with a balance of $865.6 million.
In December 2021, VM Consolidated entered into an agreement to exercise the accordion feature under the 2021 Term Loan, borrowing $250.0 million in incremental term loans (“Incremental Term Loan”). The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan were used, along with cash on hand, to fund an acquisition in December 2021. In connection with the Incremental Term Loan, the Company had an offering discount cost of $1.3 million and $3.8 million of deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan. The Incremental Term Loan was combined with the 2021 Term Loan to be a single tranche of term loan borrowings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company made early repayments of $62.5 million on the 2021 Term Loan and as a result, the total principal outstanding was $821.4 million as of March 31, 2023. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.3 million related to the write-off of pre-existing deferred financing costs and discounts.
The 2021 Term Loan is repayable at 1.0% per annum of the amount initially borrowed, paid in quarterly installments. It bears interest based, at the Company’s option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum. In March 2023, the Company amended its 2021 Term Loan agreement to transition away from LIBOR to Term SOFR with the upcoming cessation of LIBOR. To compensate for the differences in reference rates utilized, the amended agreement also includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.11448% for an interest period of one-month duration, 0.26161% for a three-month duration, 0.42826% for a six-month duration, and 0.71513% for twelve-months duration in addition to Term SOFR and the applicable margin. As of March 31, 2023, the new all-in interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan was 8.17%.
In addition, the 2021 Term Loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to the product of the excess cash flows of the Company (as defined in the 2021 Term Loan agreement) and the applicable prepayment percentages (calculated as of the last day of the fiscal year, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2022), as set forth in the following table:
| | |
Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (As Defined by the 2021 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% |
Interest on the Senior Notes is fixed at 5.50% per annum and is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year. On or after April 15, 2024, the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at the redemption prices set forth below in percentages by year, plus accrued and unpaid interest:
36
| | |
Year | | Percentage |
2024 | | 102.750% |
2025 | | 101.375% |
2026 and thereafter | | 100.000% |
In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the Senior Notes before April 15, 2024, with the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings.
The Revolver
The Company has a Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolver”) with a commitment of up to $75.0 million available for loans and letters of credit. The Revolver matures on December 20, 2026. Borrowing eligibility under the 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 Revolver bears interest on either (1) Term SOFR plus an applicable margin, or (2) an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin. The margin percentage applied to (1) Term SOFR 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. There is a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% for a one-month duration, 0.15% for a three-month duration, and 0.25% for a six-month duration, in addition to Term SOFR and the applicable margin percentages. There are no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver as of March 31, 2023 or December 31, 2022. The availability to borrow was $74.8 million, net of $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2023.
Interest on the unused portion of the Revolver is payable quarterly at 0.375% and the Company is also required to pay participation and fronting fees at 1.38% on $0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2023.
All borrowings and other extensions of credits under the 2021 Term Loan, Senior Notes and the Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions and restrictive covenants including absence of defaults and accuracy in material respects of representations and warranties. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are pledged as collateral to secure the Company’s indebtedness under the 2021 Term Loan. At March 31, 2023, the Company was compliant with all debt covenants.
Interest Expense
The Company recorded interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, of $22.7 million and $14.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements, for additional information on the interest rate swap entered into in December 2022 to hedge the Company's exposure against rising interest rates.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any material off-balance sheet financing arrangements as of March 31, 2023.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Refer to our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to interest rate market risk due to the variable interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan described in Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Interest rate risk represents our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates associated with the variable rate debt represented by the 2021 Term Loan, which has an outstanding balance of $821.4 million at March 31, 2023. The 2021 Term Loan bears interest based, at our option, on either (1) LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 3.25% per annum, or (2) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.25% per annum. In March 2023, we amended our 2021 Term Loan agreement to transition away from LIBOR to Term SOFR with the upcoming cessation of LIBOR. To compensate for the differences in reference rates utilized, the amended agreement also includes a credit spread adjustment of 0.11448% for an interest period of one-month duration, 0.26161% for a three-month duration, 0.42826% for a six-month duration, and 0.71513% for twelve-months duration in addition to Term SOFR and the applicable margin. At March 31, 2023, the new all-in interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan was 8.17%.
Based on the March 31, 2023 balance outstanding, each 1% movement in interest rates will result in an approximately $8.2 million change in annual interest expense. Due to the limited history of the use of the new benchmark rate, we are unable to estimate the future impact to our borrowing costs as a result of the discontinuation of the LIBOR benchmark.
In December 2022, we entered into a cancellable interest rate swap agreement to hedge our exposure to interest rate fluctuations associated with the LIBOR (now transitioned to Term SOFR) portion of the variable interest rate on our 2021 Term Loan. Under the interest rate swap agreement, we pay a fixed rate and the counterparty pays a variable interest rate which is net settled. The notional amount on the interest rate swap is $675.0 million. We have the option to effectively terminate the interest rate swap agreement starting in December 2023, and monthly thereafter until December 2025, in the event interest rates decrease. We recorded a $2.8 million loss on the interest rate swap for the three months ended March 31, 2023. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements for additional information on the interest rate swap.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with assistance from other members of management, have reviewed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the results of our assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II—Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On November 2, 2020, PlusPass, Inc. (“PlusPass”) commenced an action in the United States District Court, Central District of California, against Verra Mobility, The Gores Group LLC, Platinum Equity LLC, and ATS Processing Services, Inc., alleging civil violations of federal antitrust statutes: Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914 (the “Clayton Act”), and Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. On November 20, 2020, PlusPass filed a First Amended Complaint. On February 9, 2021, the defendants filed motions to dismiss, and PlusPass subsequently abandoned various theories and claims and dismissed The Gores Group LLC, Platinum Equity LLC, and ATS Processing Services, Inc. On April 27, 2021, PlusPass filed a Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”), alleging that Verra Mobility violated Section 7 of the Clayton Act through the merger of Highway Toll Administration, LLC (“HTA”) and American Traffic Solutions, Inc. (“ATS”) in 2018, and that Verra Mobility violated Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 by using exclusive agreements in restraint of trade and other allegedly anticompetitive means to acquire and maintain monopoly power in the market for the administration of electronic toll payment collection for rental cars. PlusPass seeks injunctive relief, divestiture by Verra Mobility of HTA, damages in an amount to be determined, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On May 28, 2021, Verra Mobility filed a motion to dismiss the SAC in its entirety, which was denied in August 2021. Discovery is underway and trial has been set for November 2023. Verra Mobility believes that all of PlusPass' claims are without merit and will defend itself vigorously in this litigation.
