Description of Business	Dec. 31, 2023
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business	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 17, Segment Reporting ). The Company’s Commercial Services segment offers toll and violation management solutions for commercial fleet operators by partnering with the leading fleet management and rental car companies in North America. Electronic toll payment services enable drivers of fleet vehicles and rental car customers to use high-speed cashless toll lanes or all-electronic cashless toll roads. 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 and commercial fleet customers, including RACs, Direct Fleets and FMCs. In Europe, the Company provides violations processing through Euro Parking Collection plc and consumer tolling services through Pagatelia S.L.U. 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, transaction processing 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.

Significant Accounting Policies	Dec. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	2. Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The accompanying 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 consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions include those related to the fair values assigned to net assets acquired (including identifiable intangibles) in business combinations, 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. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash The Company collects cash on behalf of customers under certain contracts which it deposits daily into Company bank accounts and transfers regularly to customer bank accounts. Restricted cash primarily represents customer cash collected but not yet remitted to the customer. Restricted cash is classified as a current asset and the corresponding liability for amounts due to customers is within current liabilities. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. The Company limits cash and cash equivalents to highly rated financial institutions. Significant customers are those which represent more than 10 % of the Company’s total revenue or ac counts receivable, net. R evenue from the single Government Solutions customer exceeding 10 % of total revenue is presented below: For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 City of New York Department of Transportation 16.9 % 19.5 % 26.6 % The City of New York Department of Transportation (“ NYCDOT ”) represented 18 % and 22 % of total accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2023 and 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. Significant customer revenue concentrations generated through the Company’s Commercial Services partners as a percent of total revenue are presented below: For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Hertz Corporation 11.8 % 11.1 % 12.6 % Avis Budget Group, Inc. 13.6 % 13.0 % 12.3 % Enterprise Mobility 10.4 % 9.3 % 11.4 % The Avis Budget Group, Inc. was 10 % of total accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2022. No Commercial Services customer exceeded 10 % of total accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2023. There were no significant customer concentrations that exceeded 10% of total revenue or accounts receivables, net for the Parking Solutions segment as of or for any period presented . Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable and unbilled receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations arising from the sale of products or services. Accounts receivable and unbilled receivables have normal trade terms of less than one year and are initially stated at the amounts billed to the customers and subsequently measured at amortized cost net of allowance for credit losses. Unbilled receivables are recorded when revenues have been earned but have not been included on a customer invoice through the end of the current period. Unbilled receivables were $ 37.1 million and $ 30.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respecti vely: ($ in thousands) Commercial Services (1) Commercial Services Government Parking Total Balance at January 1, 2022 $ 5,397 $ 3,092 $ 3,649 $ — $ 12,138 Credit loss expense 11,739 1,307 950 485 14,481 Write-offs, net of recoveries ( 7,536 ) ( 2,822 ) ( 26 ) ( 328 ) ( 10,712 ) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 9,600 $ 1,577 $ 4,573 $ 157 $ 15,907 Credit loss expense (income) 11,066 87 ( 1,953 ) ( 146 ) 9,054 Write-offs, net of recoveries ( 6,940 ) 271 ( 194 ) 415 ( 6,448 ) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 13,726 $ 1,935 $ 2,426 $ 426 $ 18,513 (1) Driver-billed consists of receivables from drivers of rental cars 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. Inventory Inventories consist of parts and electronic components used in the production of parking management related hardware sold to cer tain Parking Solutions customers and photo enforcement systems sold to certain Government Solutions customers. Inventories for the Parking Solutions business were stated at cost on a first-in, first-out basis and the total carrying value was approximately $ 10.0 million and $ 11.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Inventories for the Government Solutions international business were stated at a weighted average cost and the total carrying value was $ 8.0 million and $ 8.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company assesses the value of its inventory and writes down the cost to net realizable value upon evaluation of historical experience and assumptions regarding future usage, and any such write down establishes a new cost basis for the items. Total finish ed goods were approxima tely $ 3.4 m illion and $ 5.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Installation and Service Parts Installation and service parts consist of components used in the construction and maintenance of the Company's photo enforcement systems. Installation and service parts are stated at cost and are reclassified to property and equipment upon initiation of construction and subsequently placed in service. Installation and service parts used in repairs and maintenance are recorded as operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $ 3.9 million write-down of installation and service parts that no longer have future use within the operating expenses line item on the consolidated statement of operations. Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Equipment installed at customer sites 3 - 7 years Computer equipment 3 - 5 years Furniture 3 - 10 years Automobiles 3 - 7 years Software 3 - 7 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life Equipment installed at customer sites includes certain installation costs that qualify for capitalization. Software costs include certain internal and external costs associated with the development of software that are incurred during the application development stage. In addition, a modification or upgrade to existing software is capitalized only to the extent it results in additional functionality to existing software. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Investment in Privately-held Securities The Company holds an investment in privately-held equity securities which is recorded at cost and adjusted based on observable transactions for same or similar investments or for impairment. Investment gains and losses are recorded in other income, net. Valuation of privately-held securities requires judgment due to the lack of readily available observable market data. The carrying value is not adjusted if there are no identified events that would indicate a need for upward or downward adjustments or changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment. In determining the estimated fair value of its investment, the Company utilizes the most recent data available. The Company assesses its investment for impairment quarterly using both qualitative and quantitative factors. If an investment is considered impaired, an impairment loss is recognized and a new carrying value is established for the investment. There were no indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2021. The Company recorded a $ 1.3 million impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022 within other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations . Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If, based on a qualitative analysis, it is determined more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is performed. Reporting units are identified by assessing whether the components of the Company’s operating segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and if segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, the assignment of assets (including goodwill) to those reporting units and the determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The date of the Company’s annual impairment analysis is October 1. The Company has four reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential impairment of goodwill which include Commercial Services, Government Solutions North America, Government Solutions International and Parking Solutions. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units based on a combination of an income approach or more specifically, a discounted cash flow method (“ DCF Method ”) and a market approach employing the public company market multiple method. The DCF Method is based on projected future cash flows and terminal value estimates discounted to their present values using a market-participant weighted average cost of capital. Significant estimates and assumptions used in the DCF Method include forecasts of future revenue growth rates, EBITDA margin percentages, terminal growth rates and discount rates. The Company applies discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainties inherent in the respective reporting units and its internally developed projections of future cash flows. The market approach utilizes a blend of revenue and EBITDA multiples from guideline public companies which are comparable to it in size, profitability and other factors to estimate the fair value of the reporting units. Significant estimates and assumptions used in the market approach include the selection of guideline public companies, revenue and EBITDA projections, the selection of revenue and EBITDA multiples and the application of a control premium. In connection with its 2023 assessment of goodwill impairment, the Company qualitatively concluded that its Commercial Services, Government Solutions North America and Government Solutions International reporting units did not have indicators of impairment. It performed a quantitative impairment test for the Parking Solutions reporting unit as of October 1, 2023 which has goodwill of $ 199.1 million. The fair value of this reporting unit was determined by equally weighting the results of the DCF and market approach methods described above. Based on the results of its quantitative review, it concluded no impairment to goodwill was necessary because the estimated fair value exceeded the reporting unit's carrying value by approximately 7 %. The Parking Solutions reporting unit's fair value includes revenue growth assumptions for a new program, UNIFI Mobile, in which the business will receive a share of transactional parking fees earned by the customer as well as fees charged for parking citations. The fair values of the Company's other reporting units for which a qualitative assessment was performed were estimated by applying guideline public company multiples to EBITDA projections. To corroborate their reasonableness, the total of the reporting units' estimated fair values were reconciled to the Company's enterprise value, adjusted for a control premium, as of October 1, 2023. Although the Company believes the estimated fair value of the Parking Solutions reporting unit as of October 1, 2023 is reasonable based on current conditions, changes in assumptions used in estimating fair value, such as the composition of guideline public companies including the selection of revenue and EBITDA multiples, discount rates, fixed-costs, SaaS and UNIFI Mobile revenue growth estimates and shortfalls in the financial performance relative to expectations, may result in impairment in future periods. Intangible Assets Intangible assets represent existing customer relationships, trademarks, patents, developed technology (hardware and software) and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, which approximates the utilization of their expected future benefits. Amortization of intangible assets is included in depreciation, amortization and (gain) loss on disposal of assets, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company annually evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of its intangible assets to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets (including intangible assets with finite useful lives and installation and service parts) for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group may not be fully recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $ 4.3 million impairment which included a $ 3.9 million write-down of installation and service parts that no longer have future use within the operating expenses line item in our Government Solutions segment (discussed above), and $ 0.4 million impairment of an ROU asset within the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in our Parking Solutions segment. The Company had $ 0.7 million of impairment related to certain photo enforcement programs that ended during the year ended December 31, 2022 within the depreciation, amortization and (gain) loss on disposal of assets, net line item on the consolidated statements of operations. There were no indicators of impairment related to long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2021. Self-Insurance The Company is self-insured for medical costs and has stop-loss insurance policies to limit its exposure to individual and aggregate claims made. Liabilities for these programs are estimated based on outstanding claims and claims estimated to be incurred but not yet reported using historical loss experience. These estimates are subject to variability due to changes in trends of losses for outstanding claims and incurred but not reported claims, including external factors such as the number, and cost of claims, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns. Warrants As of December 31, 2022, there were warrants outstanding to acquire 19,999,967 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock including: (i) 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants and (ii) 13,333,301 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (the “ Public Warrants ” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “ Warrants ”). The Warrants had a five-year term and expired in October 2023, unless they were redeemed or exercised prior to expiration. As of December 31, 2023, all Warrants were either exercised by the holder or redeemed by the Company. See Note 12, Shareholders' Equity , for additional details on warrant exercises. The Company accounted for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ ASC 480 ”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ ASC 815 ”). The assessment considered whether the warrants were freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, met the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants met all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants were indexed to the Company’s own common shares, among other conditions for equity classification. For warrants that met all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants were required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. Warrants that did not meet all the criteria for equity classification were recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants were recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s Public Warrants met the criteria for equity classification and accordingly, were reported as a component of stockholders’ equity while the Company’s Private Placement Warrants were classified as a liability. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated at period-end using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Shares issuable under the Warrants were considered for inclusion in the diluted share count in accordance with GAAP. 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 of 5.17 % 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 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 consolidated statements of operations within the loss (gain) on interest rate swap line item. The Company recorded a $ 0.8 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $( 0.3 ) million is associated with the derivative instrument re-measured to fair value at the end of the reporting period, netted by $ 1.1 million related to the monthly cash payments. The Company recorded a $ 1.0 million gain for the year ended December 31, 2022 associated with the derivative instrument re-measured to fair value at the end of the reporting period. 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 in the consolidated statements of cash flows. See below for further discussion on the fair value measurement of the interest rate swap, and Note 8, Long-term Debt , for additional information on the Company's mix of fixed and variable debt. 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 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 consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities 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: Level in December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Fair Value Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated ($ in thousands) Hierarchy Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value 2021 Term Loan 2 $ 691,821 $ 709,872 $ 866,365 $ 883,891 Senior Notes 2 346,311 335,125 345,615 313,250 The Company had issued Private Placement Warrants in connection with the IPO to acquire shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock which had a five-year term and expired in October 2023. As of December 31, 2023, all Private Placement Warrants were exercised by the warrant holders. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrant liabilities was measured on a recurring basis and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using significant unobservable inputs, primarily related to estimated volatility, and was therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The key assumptions used were as follows: December 31, 2022 Stock price $ 13.83 Strike price $ 11.50 Volatility 44.0 % Remaining life (in years) 0.8 Risk-free interest rate 4.74 % Expected dividend yield 0.0 % Estimated fair value $ 3.61 The following summarizes the changes in fair value of Private Placement Warrant liabilities included in net income and the impact of exercises for the respective periods: ($ in thousands) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Beginning balance $ 24,066 $ 38,466 Change in fair value of private placement warrants 24,966 ( 14,400 ) Exercise of warrants ( 49,032 ) — Ending balance $ — $ 24,066 Change in fair value of private placement warrants consists of adjustments related to the Private Placement Warrants liabilities re-measured to fair value at the end of each reporting period and the final mark-to-market adjustments for exercised warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2023, 6.7 million Private Placement Warrants were exercised, which reduced our Private Placement Warrants liabilities by $ 49.0 million with an offset to common stock at par value and the remaining to additional paid in capital. The Company has an equity investment measured at cost with a carrying value o f $ 2.1 m illion as of both December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 year ended December 31, 2023. The Company recorded a $ 1.3 million impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The following presents the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap in the gross balances within the below line items for the respective periods: ($ in thousands) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Prepaid expenses and other current assets Beginning balance $ — $ — Change in fair value of interest rate swap 689 — Ending balance $ 689 $ — Other non-current assets Beginning balance $ 1,973 $ — Change in fair value of interest rate swap ( 1,346 ) 1,973 Ending balance $ 627 $ 1,973 Accrued liabilities Beginning balance $ 977 $ — Change in fair value of interest rate swap ( 977 ) 977 Ending balance $ — $ 977 The Company separately classifies the current and non-current components based on the value of settlements due within 12 months (current) and greater than 12 months (non-current). Asset Retirement Obligations The Company records obligations to perform certain retirement activities on camera and speed enforcement systems in the period that the related assets are placed in service. Asset retirement obligations are contractual obligations to restore property to its initial state. These obligations, which are initially estimated based on discounted cash flow estimates, are accreted to full value over time through charges to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The associated asset retirement obligation is capitalized as part of the related asset’s carrying value and is depreciated over the asset’s estimated remaining useful life. When events and circumstances indicate that the original estimates used for asset retirement obligations may need revision, the Company reassesses the assumptions used and adjusts the liability appropriately. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs consist of the costs incurred to obtain long-term financing, including the Company’s credit facilities (see Note 8, Long-Term Debt ). These costs, which are a reduction to long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets, are amortized over the term of the related debt, using the effective interest method for term debt and the straight-line method for revolving credit facilities. Amortization of deferred financing costs for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 4.7 m ill ion, $ 5.5 million and $ 5.2 million respectively. Income Taxes Income tax expense includes U.S and international current and deferred income taxes and interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. Certain income and expenses are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of these temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are reported net of a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. All deferred income taxes are classified as long-term on our consolidated balance sheets. Stock-based Compensation In October 2018, the Company established the Verra Mobility 2018 Equity Incentive Plan which provides for a variety of stock-based awards for issuance to employees and directors. In May 2023, the Company's stockholders approved the Verra Mobility Corporation Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “ 2018 Plan ”), which, among other things, increased the maximum number of shares available for awards by 5,000,000 shares. The Company grants RSUs, stock options and PSUs. The Company recognizes the fair value of RSUs based on the Company’s common stock price at market close on the date of the grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options, and uses the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of PSUs containing market conditions. The Black-Scholes model requires an assumption regarding the expected life of the stock option, which the Company estim ated to be 6.25 years by applying the short-cut method permitted under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. PSUs granted vest at the end of a three-year period (or ratably over three years for certain grants), which matches the awards’ performance period. RSUs and stock options vest based on the continued service of the recipient. PSUs are issued upon continued service along with the relative satisfaction of a market condition that measures the Company’s total stockholder return relative to a comparably calculated return for a peer group during the performance period or to the Company's absolute total stockholder return. In addition, the Black-Scholes and the Monte Carlo models require assumptions to be made regarding the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price. Stock price volatility is determined by averaging an implied volatility with the measure of historical volatility for stock options and using the historical volatility for PSUs. The following represents our weighted average assumptions for stock options and PSUs granted for the respective p eriods: For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Stock options Weighted average expected volatility 38.5 % 45.1 % 47.7 % Weighted average risk-free interest rate 4.28 % 2.94 % 0.94 % PSUs Weighted average expected volatility 43.8 % 48.0 % 50.4 % Weighted average risk-free interest rate 4.29 % 2.78 % 0.33 % Compensation expense for share-based awards is determined based on the grant date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the share-based award. The compensation expense for the PSUs is recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. See Note 13, Equity Incentive Plan , for more information on the Company’s share-based awards.

(“ 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 $ 900.0 million, maturing on March 24, 2028 , which includes the incremental borrowing of $ 250.0 million in December 2021 as a result of exercising the accordion feature available under the agreement. In connection with the 2021 Term Loan borrowings, the Company had $ 4.6 million of offering discount costs and $ 4.5 million in deferred financing costs, both of which were capitalized and are being amortized over the remaining life of the 2021 Term Loan. During fiscal year 2023, the Company made early repayments of $ 172.5 million on the 2021 Term Loan and as a result, the total principal outstanding was $ 704.6 mi llion as of December 31, 2023. The Company recognized losses on extinguishment of debt of $ 3.5 mi llion and $ 5.3 million for fiscal years 2023 and 2021, respectively, related to the write-off of pre-existing deferred financing costs and discounts, and lender and third party costs. 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 (the “ Second Amendment ”) to transition away from LIBOR to Term SOFR with the cessation of LIBOR in June 2023. To compensate for the differences in reference rates utilized, the Second Amendment 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 change in the benchmark interest rate to Term SOFR as a continuation of the existing loan agreement and account for it prospectively. As of December 31, 2023, the new all-in interest rate on the 2021 Term Loan w as 8.7 %. 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), as set forth in the following table: Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (As Defined by the 2021 Term Loan Agreement) Applicable > 3.70:1.00 50 % < 3.70:1.00 and > 3.20:1.00 25 % < 3.20:1.00 0 % The Company did not have mandatory prepayments of excess cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company amended the 2021 Term Loan agreement to refinance the entire outstanding amount under the 2021 Term Loan. In connection with the amended 2021 Term Loan agreement, the interest rate was reduced and the credit spread adjustment was eliminated. See Note 18, Subsequent Events , for additional information. Senior Notes 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. 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 at a redemption price of 105.50 %. PPP Loan During fiscal year 2020, one of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries received a $ 2.9 million loan from the U.S. Small Business Administration (“ SBA ”) as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (“ PPP Loan ”) to offset certain employment and other allowable costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In early 2021, the Company applied for forgiveness of this loan, and on September 23, 2022, it was notified by the SBA that the loan, together with accrued interest, had been fully forgiven under the provisions of the PPP Loan program. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $ 3.0 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 18, 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 December 31, 2023 or 2022. At December 31, 2023, the availability to borrow w as $ 74.8 mil lion, net of $ 0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit. 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 % o n $ 0.2 million of outstanding letters of credit as of December 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 December 31, 2023, the Company was compliant with all debt covenants. Interest Expense, Net The Company recorded interest expense, net of interest income, including amortization of deferred financing costs and discounts, of $ 86.7 million, $ 69.4 million and $ 44.9 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 respectively. Interest income earned was $ 4.2 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and less than $ 0.1 million for both fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The weighted average effective interest rates on the Company’s outstanding borrowings were 7.7 % a nd 7.0 % at December 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.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	9. Leases The Company’s operating leases primarily consist of office, equipment and vehicle leases expiring at various dates throug h April 2035 . The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and has elected to account for such components as a single lease component. The Company measures and recognizes contracts containing a lease and determines lease classification at commencement. Right of use operating assets and lease liabilities are measured based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate when the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. The estimated incremental borrowing rate is based upon information available at lease commencement including publicly available data for debt instruments. The lease term includes periods covered by options to extend when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such options as well as periods subsequent to an option to terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain the Company will not exercise the termination option. Certain of the lease agreements have rent abatement and escalating rental payment provisions. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs are recognized as incurred. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company does not have material short-term leases and does not engage in material subleasing activities. As of December 31, 2023, operating leases had a remaining weighted average lease ter m of 8.0 years a nd operating lease liabilities were measured using a weighted average disc ount rate of 5.4 %. The tot al operating lease costs for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $ 9.5 million, $ 8.8 million and $ 7.5 million, respectively. Variable lease costs for fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were approximately $ 2.7 mi llion, $ 1.5 million and $ 1.4 million, respecti vely.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share	10. 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: For the Year Ended December 31, (In thousands, except per share data) 2023 2022 2021 Numerator: Net income $ 57,015 $ 92,475 $ 41,449 Denominator: Weighted average shares - basic 158,777 152,848 159,983 Common stock equivalents 1,240 6,178 3,795 Weighted average shares - diluted 160,017 159,026 163,778 Net income per share - basic $ 0.36 $ 0.61 $ 0.26 Net income per share - diluted $ 0.36 $ 0.50 $ 0.25 Antidilutive shares excluded from diluted net income per share: Contingently issuable shares (1) — 5,000 5,000 ASR shares (2) 566 — — Private placement warrants — — 6,667 Non-qualified stock options 222 1,149 1,018 Performance share units 22 157 130 Restricted stock units 219 742 432 Total antidilutive shares excluded 1,029 7,048 13,247 (1) Contingently issuable shares related to the earn-out agreement as discussed in No te 15, Other Transactions .

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has provided income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries, except to the extent such earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. The amount of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these temporary differences is approximately $ 0.8 million. In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets can be affected by, among other things, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, limitations on the use of acquired tax attributes due to an ownership change under IRC section 382, the length of statutory carryforward periods, the Company’s experience with utilizing operating losses and tax credit carryforwards by jurisdiction, and tax planning alternatives and strategies that may be available. The Company performed an analysis of the reversal of the deferred tax assets and considered the overall business environment, historical earnings, the outlook for future years and the impact of limitations on the use of acquired tax attributes due to an ownership change under IRC section 382. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards will not be realized as of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and as such provided a valuation al lowance of $ 7.0 mill ion and $ 5.3 million, respectively. The valuation allowance could be adjusted in future periods if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present. The net operating loss carryforwards represent $ 118.0 m illion and $ 124.4 million of federal, state and foreign net operating losses at Decemb er 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The federal net operating loss carryforward at December 31, 2023 consists of $ 17.7 million of losses that were generated after 2017 with no expiration date. The Company also has certain tax credits of $ 4.2 million and $ 5.6 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which if unused will begin to expire in 2025 . The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31: ($ in thousands) 2023 2022 Balance at the beginning of the year $ 10,675 $ 2,878 Increases/(decreases) related to current year tax positions 5,401 8,076 Increases/(decreases) related to prior year tax positions 592 ( 132 ) Expiration due to statute of limitations ( 511 ) ( 147 ) Balance at the end of the year $ 16,157 $ 10,675 Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 were $ 8.7 mi llion of tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. The Company recognized $ 0.7 million for fiscal year 2023 and $ 0.5 million for fiscal year 2022 in interest and penalties. The Company had accrued interest and penalties of $ 1.2 million and $ 0.5 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position only when, based on technical merits, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained under examination. 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 Co mpany’s state income tax returns are generally no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities prior to 2019; 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 through 2020 ; however, no material adjustments are anticipated. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of tax deficiencies i n each of the tax jurisdictions and, accordingly, makes appropriate adjustments to the tax provision as deemed necessary.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	12. Stockholders’ Equity The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 261,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 260,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each at par value of $ 0.0001 per share. The outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Warrants As of December 31, 2022, there were 19,999,967 warrants outstanding to acquire shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, including (i) 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants and (ii) the remaining Public Warrants. The Warrants had a five-year term and expired in October 2023, unless they were redeemed or exercised prior to expiration. As of December 31, 2023, all Warrants were either exercised by the holder or redeemed by the Company. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company processed the exercise of 19,999,333 Warrants in exchange for the issuance of 16,273,406 shares of Class A Common Stock. There were 14,035,449 shares issued in exchange for cash-basis warrant exercises resulting in the receipt of $ 161.4 million in cash proceeds as of December 31, 2023. The remaining Warrant exercises were completed on a cashless basis. In addition, the Company redeemed 634 Public Warrants at a price of $ 0.01 per warrant, as the last sale price of the Class A Common Stock was equal to or exceeded $ 18.00 per share for 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period before the Company sent the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders. For details on the Private Placement Warrants liabilities as a result of the Warrant exercises and the changes in fair value of the liabilities recorded in the consolidated statements of operations, refer to the respective section within Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies. Share Repurchases and Retirement - 2023 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, ASR 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 paid $ 8.1 million to repurchase 449,432 shares of its Class A Common Stock through open market transactions during the third quarter of fiscal year 2023, which it subsequently retired. On September 5, 2023, the Company used the remaining availability under the share repurchase program for an ASR and paid approximately $ 91.9 million to receive an initial delivery of 4,131,551 shares of its Class A Common Stock in accordance with an ASR agreement with a third-party financial institution. The final settlement occurred on January 12, 2024, at which time, the Company received 534,499 additional shares calculated using a volume-weighted average price over the term of the ASR agreement. The Company accounted for the ASR as a common stock repurchase and a forward contract indexed to its own common stock. The Company determined that the equity classification criteria was met for the forward contract, therefore, it did not account for it as a derivative instrument. The Company paid a total of $ 100.0 million for share repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2023, and accounted for the transactions by deducting the par value from common stock, reducing $ 15.2 million from additional paid-in capital calculated using an average share price, and by increasing accumulated deficit for the remaining cost of $ 84.8 million. On October 30, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $ 100.0 million of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock over an 18-month period in open market, ASR or privately negotiated transactions. The level at which the Company repurchases depends on a number of factors, including its financial condition, capital requirements, cash flows, results of operations, future business prospects and other factors its management may deem relevant. The timing, volume and nature of repurchases are subject to market conditions, applicable securities laws and other factors and may be amended, suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company has not yet repurchased shares under this repurchase program. Share Repurchases and Retirement - 2022 In May 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $ 125.0 million of its outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock over a twelve-month period. On May 12, 2022, the Company paid $ 50.0 million for an ASR and received an initial delivery of 2,739,726 shares of its Class A Common Stock in accordance with an ASR agreement with a third-party financial institution. The final settlement occurred on August 3, 2022, at which time, the Company received 445,086 additional shares calculated using a volume-weighted average price over the term of the ASR agreement. In addition, during the second and third quarters of 2022, the Company paid $ 6.9 million and repurchased 445,791 shares of its Class A Common Stock through open market transactions. The Company’s Board of Directors authorized a second ASR during the third quarter of 2022 for the remaining availability under the share repurchase program. On August 19, 2022, the Company paid $ 68.1 million for a second ASR, and received an initial delivery of 3,300,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock in accordance with an ASR agreement with a third-party financial institution. The final settlement occurred on November 4, 2022, at which time, the Company received 943,361 additional shares calculated using a volume-weighted average price over the term of the ASR agreement. The Company accounted for each ASR transaction as a common stock repurchase and a forward contract indexed to its own common stock. The Company determined that the equity classification criteria was met for the forward contracts, therefore, it did not account for them as derivative instruments. The Company incurred $ 0.1 million of direct costs in connection with share repurchase transactions during fiscal year 2022, which it included in the cost of the shares acquired. The Company paid a total of $ 125.0 million for shares repurchases and $ 0.1 million for direct costs during fiscal year 2022 and accounted for the transactions by deducting the par value from the common stock, reducing $ 15.9 million from additional paid-in capital calculated using an average share price, and by increasing accumulated deficit for the remaining cost of $ 109.1 million.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Equity Incentive Plan	13. Equity Incentive Plan In October 2018, the Company established the Verra Mobility 2018 Equity Incentive Plan which provides for a variety of stock-based awards including restricted stock units (“ RSUs ”), performance share units (“ PSUs ”) and non-qualified stock options to employees and non-employee directors. In May 2023, the stockholders approved the Verra Mobility Corporation Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “ 2018 Plan ”), which, among other things, increased the maximum number of shares available for awards by 5,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be subject to awards under the 2018 Plan was 15,864,000 as of December 31, 2023, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Plan. At December 31, 2023, the Company had an aggregate of 7,110,881 shares of common stock available for future grants under the 2018 Plan. RSUs and PSUs The Company’s RSUs consist of a right to receive shares on one or more vesting dates in the future. RSUs granted to employees vest ratably over four years from their individual award dates, subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting dates. RSUs granted to non-employee directors vest on the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the vesting start date, or (b) the date immediately prior to the next annual stockholders meeting held by the Company occurring after the date of grant. The Company grants PSUs to senior executives which consist of a right to receive shares generally at the end of a three-year period (or ratably over three years for certain grants). PSUs are issued upon continued service along with the relative satisfaction of a market condition that generally measures either the Company’s total stockholder return relative to a comparably calculated return for a peer group during the performance period or to the Company's absolute total stockholder return. The level at which the performance condition is attained upon the completion of the performance period determines the actual number of shares of the Class A Common Stock into which the PSUs will be converted. The conversion percentage ranges from 0 % up to 150 % of the target level. The following table summarizes the activity of the Company’s RSUs a nd PSUs: RSUs PSUs Shares Weighted Average Shares Weighted Average Balance at December 31, 2020 2,203 $ 10.64 106 $ 13.88 Granted 736 $ 14.12 154 $ 16.28 Vested ( 1,018 ) $ 10.41 — $ — Forfeited ( 229 ) $ 13.40 ( 31 ) $ 16.97 Balance at December 31, 2021 1,692 $ 11.92 229 $ 15.07 Granted 1,093 $ 14.09 179 $ 15.58 Vested ( 1,030 ) $ 11.10 — $ — Forfeited ( 260 ) $ 13.39 ( 94 ) $ 15.17 Balance at December 31, 2022 1,495 $ 13.82 314 $ 15.33 Granted 1,452 $ 18.16 1,970 $ 11.42 Vested ( 523 ) $ 13.77 ( 101 ) $ 13.88 Forfeited ( 358 ) $ 16.18 ( 85 ) $ 11.64 Balance at December 31, 2023 2,066 $ 16.49 2,098 $ 11.88 The fair value of RSUs vested during fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 w as $ 7.2 m illion, $ 11.4 million and $ 10.6 million, respectively.

Other Significant Transactions	15. Other Transactions Tax Receivable Agreement At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (“ Tax Receivable Agreement ”) 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 agreement. The Tax Receivable Agreement generally 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 December 31, 2023, the Tax Receivable Agreement liability was approximately $ 53.5 million of which $ 5.1 million was the current portion and $ 48.4 million was the non-current portion, both of which are included in the respective tax receivable agreement liability line items on the consolidated balance sheets. During the fourth quarter, the Company made a tax settlement payment for $ 5.6 million recorded in other income, net related to a previous acquisition which was partially offset by a $ 5.0 million reduction to the liability per the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $ 3.1 million in fiscal year 2023 as a result of tax settlement adjustments related to a previous acquisition. The Company recorded a gain of $ 0.7 million in fiscal year 2022 as a result of lower estimated state tax rates due to changes in apportionment. Earn-Out Agreement Under the Merger Agreement, the Platinum Stockholder was 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 exceeded 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 were issued by the Company to the Platinum Stockholder upon meeting the below Common Stock Price Thresholds (each, a “ Triggering Event ”): Common Stock Price Thresholds One-time Issuance of Shares > $ 13.00 (a) 2,500,000 > $ 15.50 (a) 2,500,000 > $ 18.00 (a) 2,500,000 > $ 20.50 (a) 2,500,000 (a) All four tranches of Earn-Out Shares have been issued, as discussed below. The Company estimated the original fair value of the contingently issuable shares to be $ 73.15 million, which was 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 each Triggering Event, any issuable shares were transferred from common stock contingent consideration to common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts. On April 26, 2019, January 27, 2020, June 14, 2023, and July 26, 2023, the Triggering Events for the issuance of the first, second, third and fourth 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 each date had been greater than $ 13.00 , $ 15.50 , $ 18.00 , and $ 20.50 , respectively, for 10 out of 20 consecutive trading days. These Triggering Events resulted in the issuance of an aggregate 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock to the Platinum Stockholder and an aggregate increase in the Company’s common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts of $ 73.15 million, with a corresponding decrease to the common stock contingent consideration account. At December 31, 2023, there are no shares that remain contingently issuable under the Earn-Out agreement.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	16. Commitments and Contingencies The Company had $ 1.9 milli on of bank guarantees at December 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 December 31, 2023 were $ 18.0 million. The majority of these outstanding commitments are expected to be incurred in the next twelve months and approximately $ 2.2 million is expected to be incurred subsequent to December 31, 2024. 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. Other than the PlusPass matter discussed below, the Company has determined that resolution of the remaining pending matters is not probable to have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial position. 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 (the “ City ”) and its safety camera vendor, Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. in April 2016. The Company acquired Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc. as part of its June 2021 purchase of Redflex Holdings Limited. 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. Trial is expected to occur in mid- to late 2025. Based on the information available to the Company at present, the Company is unable to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss for this action and, accordingly, it has not accrued any liability associated with this action. PlusPass Inc. (“ PlusPass ”) v. Verra Mobility Corporation, et al. is a lawsuit filed 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., in November 2020. In February 2024, Verra Mobility and PlusPass entered into a confidential business arrangement pursuant to which Verra Mobility (i) acquired certain assets from PlusPass and (ii) fully and finally resolved all litigation and disputes between the parties. Verra Mobility accrued $ 31.5 million for this matter at December 31, 2023, which is presented within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	18. Subsequent Events Third Amendment to 2021 Term Loan As discussed in the Current Report on 8-K filed with the SEC on February 8, 2024, the Company amended the 2021 Term Loan agreement to refinance the entire outstanding amount under the 2021 Term Loan (the “ Third Amendment ”) in February 2024 and incurred new Term B-2 Loans (the “ New Term Loans ”) in the aggregate principal amount of $ 704.6 million. The proceeds from the New Term Loans were used in their entirety to prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of the existing term loan under the 2021 Term Loan agreement. In connection with the Third Amendment, the interest rate on the approximately $ 704.6 million outstanding balance of the New Term Loans was reduced by 50 basis points to SOFR + 2.75 % from SOFR + 3.25 % with the SOFR floor unchanged at 0.00 %. In addition, the credit spread adjustment, which was priced at 0.115 % was also eliminated, resulting in a total savings of 61.5 basis points. The New Term Loans will be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00 % of the principal amount repaid for any voluntary prepayment or mandatory prepayment with proceeds of debt that has a lower effective yield than the New Term Loans or any amendment to the New Term Loans that reduces the interest rate thereon, in each case, to the extent occurring within six months of the effective date of the Amendment. The maturity date for the 2021 Term Loan agreement remains March 24, 2028 , and no changes were made to the financial covenants or other debt repayment terms. PlusPass Business Arrangement On February 8, 2024, the Company and PlusPass entered into a confidential business arrangement (pursuant to which the Company will pay PlusPass $ 31.5 million to (i) acquire certain assets from PlusPass and (ii) fully and finally resolve the previously disclosed litigation in the United States District Court, Central District of California. Prior developments in the PlusPass litigation are discussed in the Legal Proceedings section of this Annual Report and in the Company’s previously filed annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates and assumptions include those related to the fair values assigned to net assets acquired (including identifiable intangibles) in business combinations, 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash	Restricted Cash The Company collects cash on behalf of customers under certain contracts which it deposits daily into Company bank accounts and transfers regularly to customer bank accounts. Restricted cash primarily represents customer cash collected but not yet remitted to the customer. Restricted cash is classified as a current asset and the corresponding liability for amounts due to customers is within current liabilities.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and unbilled receivables. The Company limits cash and cash equivalents to highly rated financial institutions. Significant customers are those which represent more than 10 % of the Company’s total revenue or ac counts receivable, net. R evenue from the single Government Solutions customer exceeding 10 % of total revenue is presented below: For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 City of New York Department of Transportation 16.9 % 19.5 % 26.6 % The City of New York Department of Transportation (“ NYCDOT ”) represented 18 % and 22 % of total accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2023 and 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. Significant customer revenue concentrations generated through the Company’s Commercial Services partners as a percent of total revenue are presented below: For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Hertz Corporation 11.8 % 11.1 % 12.6 % Avis Budget Group, Inc. 13.6 % 13.0 % 12.3 % Enterprise Mobility 10.4 % 9.3 % 11.4 % The Avis Budget Group, Inc. was 10 % of total accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2022. No Commercial Services customer exceeded 10 % of total accounts receivable, net as of December 31, 2023. There were no significant customer concentrations that exceeded 10% of total revenue or accounts receivables, net for the Parking Solutions segment as of or for any period presented .
Allowance for Credit Losses	Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable and unbilled receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations arising from the sale of products or services. Accounts receivable and unbilled receivables have normal trade terms of less than one year and are initially stated at the amounts billed to the customers and subsequently measured at amortized cost net of allowance for credit losses. Unbilled receivables are recorded when revenues have been earned but have not been included on a customer invoice through the end of the current period. Unbilled receivables were $ 37.1 million and $ 30.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, respecti vely: ($ in thousands) Commercial Services (1) Commercial Services Government Parking Total Balance at January 1, 2022 $ 5,397 $ 3,092 $ 3,649 $ — $ 12,138 Credit loss expense 11,739 1,307 950 485 14,481 Write-offs, net of recoveries ( 7,536 ) ( 2,822 ) ( 26 ) ( 328 ) ( 10,712 ) Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 9,600 $ 1,577 $ 4,573 $ 157 $ 15,907 Credit loss expense (income) 11,066 87 ( 1,953 ) ( 146 ) 9,054 Write-offs, net of recoveries ( 6,940 ) 271 ( 194 ) 415 ( 6,448 ) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 13,726 $ 1,935 $ 2,426 $ 426 $ 18,513 (1) Driver-billed consists of receivables from drivers of rental cars 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.
Inventory	Inventory Inventories consist of parts and electronic components used in the production of parking management related hardware sold to cer tain Parking Solutions customers and photo enforcement systems sold to certain Government Solutions customers. Inventories for the Parking Solutions business were stated at cost on a first-in, first-out basis and the total carrying value was approximately $ 10.0 million and $ 11.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Inventories for the Government Solutions international business were stated at a weighted average cost and the total carrying value was $ 8.0 million and $ 8.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company assesses the value of its inventory and writes down the cost to net realizable value upon evaluation of historical experience and assumptions regarding future usage, and any such write down establishes a new cost basis for the items. Total finish ed goods were approxima tely $ 3.4 m illion and $ 5.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Installation and Service Parts	Installation and Service Parts Installation and service parts consist of components used in the construction and maintenance of the Company's photo enforcement systems. Installation and service parts are stated at cost and are reclassified to property and equipment upon initiation of construction and subsequently placed in service. Installation and service parts used in repairs and maintenance are recorded as operating expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $ 3.9 million write-down of installation and service parts that no longer have future use within the operating expenses line item on the consolidated statement of operations.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Equipment installed at customer sites 3 - 7 years Computer equipment 3 - 5 years Furniture 3 - 10 years Automobiles 3 - 7 years Software 3 - 7 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of lease term or estimated useful life Equipment installed at customer sites includes certain installation costs that qualify for capitalization. Software costs include certain internal and external costs associated with the development of software that are incurred during the application development stage. In addition, a modification or upgrade to existing software is capitalized only to the extent it results in additional functionality to existing software. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred.
Investment in Privately-held Securities	Investment in Privately-held Securities The Company holds an investment in privately-held equity securities which is recorded at cost and adjusted based on observable transactions for same or similar investments or for impairment. Investment gains and losses are recorded in other income, net. Valuation of privately-held securities requires judgment due to the lack of readily available observable market data. The carrying value is not adjusted if there are no identified events that would indicate a need for upward or downward adjustments or changes in circumstances that may indicate impairment. In determining the estimated fair value of its investment, the Company utilizes the most recent data available. The Company assesses its investment for impairment quarterly using both qualitative and quantitative factors. If an investment is considered impaired, an impairment loss is recognized and a new carrying value is established for the investment. There were no indicators of impairment during the years ended December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2021. The Company recorded a $ 1.3 million impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022 within other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations
Goodwill	Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. If, based on a qualitative analysis, it is determined more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is performed. Reporting units are identified by assessing whether the components of the Company’s operating segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and if segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, the assignment of assets (including goodwill) to those reporting units and the determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The date of the Company’s annual impairment analysis is October 1. The Company has four reporting units for the purposes of assessing potential impairment of goodwill which include Commercial Services, Government Solutions North America, Government Solutions International and Parking Solutions. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units based on a combination of an income approach or more specifically, a discounted cash flow method (“ DCF Method ”) and a market approach employing the public company market multiple method. The DCF Method is based on projected future cash flows and terminal value estimates discounted to their present values using a market-participant weighted average cost of capital. Significant estimates and assumptions used in the DCF Method include forecasts of future revenue growth rates, EBITDA margin percentages, terminal growth rates and discount rates. The Company applies discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainties inherent in the respective reporting units and its internally developed projections of future cash flows. The market approach utilizes a blend of revenue and EBITDA multiples from guideline public companies which are comparable to it in size, profitability and other factors to estimate the fair value of the reporting units. Significant estimates and assumptions used in the market approach include the selection of guideline public companies, revenue and EBITDA projections, the selection of revenue and EBITDA multiples and the application of a control premium. In connection with its 2023 assessment of goodwill impairment, the Company qualitatively concluded that its Commercial Services, Government Solutions North America and Government Solutions International reporting units did not have indicators of impairment. It performed a quantitative impairment test for the Parking Solutions reporting unit as of October 1, 2023 which has goodwill of $ 199.1 million. The fair value of this reporting unit was determined by equally weighting the results of the DCF and market approach methods described above. Based on the results of its quantitative review, it concluded no impairment to goodwill was necessary because the estimated fair value exceeded the reporting unit's carrying value by approximately 7 %. The Parking Solutions reporting unit's fair value includes revenue growth assumptions for a new program, UNIFI Mobile, in which the business will receive a share of transactional parking fees earned by the customer as well as fees charged for parking citations. The fair values of the Company's other reporting units for which a qualitative assessment was performed were estimated by applying guideline public company multiples to EBITDA projections. To corroborate their reasonableness, the total of the reporting units' estimated fair values were reconciled to the Company's enterprise value, adjusted for a control premium, as of October 1, 2023. Although the Company believes the estimated fair value of the Parking Solutions reporting unit as of October 1, 2023 is reasonable based on current conditions, changes in assumptions used in estimating fair value, such as the composition of guideline public companies including the selection of revenue and EBITDA multiples, discount rates, fixed-costs, SaaS and UNIFI Mobile revenue growth estimates and shortfalls in the financial performance relative to expectations, may result in impairment in future periods.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets Intangible assets represent existing customer relationships, trademarks, patents, developed technology (hardware and software) and non-compete agreements. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, which approximates the utilization of their expected future benefits. Amortization of intangible assets is included in depreciation, amortization and (gain) loss on disposal of assets, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company annually evaluates the estimated remaining useful lives of its intangible assets to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets (including intangible assets with finite useful lives and installation and service parts) for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or an asset group may not be fully recoverable. The Company assesses recoverability by comparing the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $ 4.3 million impairment which included a $ 3.9 million write-down of installation and service parts that no longer have future use within the operating expenses line item in our Government Solutions segment (discussed above), and $ 0.4 million impairment of an ROU asset within the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in our Parking Solutions segment. The Company had $ 0.7 million of impairment related to certain photo enforcement programs that ended during the year ended December 31, 2022 within the depreciation, amortization and (gain) loss on disposal of assets, net line item on the consolidated statements of operations. There were no indicators of impairment related to long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Self-Insurance	Self-Insurance The Company is self-insured for medical costs and has stop-loss insurance policies to limit its exposure to individual and aggregate claims made. Liabilities for these programs are estimated based on outstanding claims and claims estimated to be incurred but not yet reported using historical loss experience. These estimates are subject to variability due to changes in trends of losses for outstanding claims and incurred but not reported claims, including external factors such as the number, and cost of claims, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns.
Warrants	Warrants As of December 31, 2022, there were warrants outstanding to acquire 19,999,967 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock including: (i) 6,666,666 Private Placement Warrants and (ii) 13,333,301 warrants issued in connection with the IPO (the “ Public Warrants ” and, together with the Private Placement Warrants, the “ Warrants ”). The Warrants had a five-year term and expired in October 2023, unless they were redeemed or exercised prior to expiration. As of December 31, 2023, all Warrants were either exercised by the holder or redeemed by the Company. See Note 12, Shareholders' Equity , for additional details on warrant exercises. The Company accounted for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“ FASB ”) ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ ASC 480 ”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ ASC 815 ”). The assessment considered whether the warrants were freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, met the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants met all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants were indexed to the Company’s own common shares, among other conditions for equity classification. For warrants that met all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants were required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. Warrants that did not meet all the criteria for equity classification were recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants were recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s Public Warrants met the criteria for equity classification and accordingly, were reported as a component of stockholders’ equity while the Company’s Private Placement Warrants were classified as a liability. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated at period-end using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Shares issuable under the Warrants were considered for inclusion in the diluted share count in accordance with GAAP.
Interest Rate Swap	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 of 5.17 % 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 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 consolidated statements of operations within the loss (gain) on interest rate swap line item. The Company recorded a $ 0.8 million loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $( 0.3 ) million is associated with the derivative instrument re-measured to fair value at the end of the reporting period, netted by $ 1.1 million related to the monthly cash payments. The Company recorded a $ 1.0 million gain for the year ended December 31, 2022 associated with the derivative instrument re-measured to fair value at the end of the reporting period. 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 in the consolidated statements of cash flows. See below for further discussion on the fair value measurement of the interest rate swap, and Note 8, Long-term Debt , for additional information on the Company's mix of fixed and variable debt.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	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 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 consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities 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: Level in December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Fair Value Carrying Estimated Carrying Estimated ($ in thousands) Hierarchy Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value 2021 Term Loan 2 $ 691,821 $ 709,872 $ 866,365 $ 883,891 Senior Notes 2 346,311 335,125 345,615 313,250 The Company had issued Private Placement Warrants in connection with the IPO to acquire shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock which had a five-year term and expired in October 2023. As of December 31, 2023, all Private Placement Warrants were exercised by the warrant holders. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrant liabilities was measured on a recurring basis and was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using significant unobservable inputs, primarily related to estimated volatility, and was therefore classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The key assumptions used were as follows: December 31, 2022 Stock price $ 13.83 Strike price $ 11.50 Volatility 44.0 % Remaining life (in years) 0.8 Risk-free interest rate 4.74 % Expected dividend yield 0.0 % Estimated fair value $ 3.61 The following summarizes the changes in fair value of Private Placement Warrant liabilities included in net income and the impact of exercises for the respective periods: ($ in thousands) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Beginning balance $ 24,066 $ 38,466 Change in fair value of private placement warrants 24,966 ( 14,400 ) Exercise of warrants ( 49,032 ) — Ending balance $ — $ 24,066 Change in fair value of private placement warrants consists of adjustments related to the Private Placement Warrants liabilities re-measured to fair value at the end of each reporting period and the final mark-to-market adjustments for exercised warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2023, 6.7 million Private Placement Warrants were exercised, which reduced our Private Placement Warrants liabilities by $ 49.0 million with an offset to common stock at par value and the remaining to additional paid in capital. The Company has an equity investment measured at cost with a carrying value o f $ 2.1 m illion as of both December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 year ended December 31, 2023. The Company recorded a $ 1.3 million impairment during the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The following presents the changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap in the gross balances within the below line items for the respective periods: ($ in thousands) December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Prepaid expenses and other current assets Beginning balance $ — $ — Change in fair value of interest rate swap 689 — Ending balance $ 689 $ — Other non-current assets Beginning balance $ 1,973 $ — Change in fair value of interest rate swap ( 1,346 ) 1,973 Ending balance $ 627 $ 1,973 Accrued liabilities Beginning balance $ 977 $ — Change in fair value of interest rate swap ( 977 ) 977 Ending balance $ — $ 977 The Company separately classifies the current and non-current components based on the value of settlements due within 12 months (current) and greater than 12 months (non-current).
Asset Retirement Obligations	Asset Retirement Obligations The Company records obligations to perform certain retirement activities on camera and speed enforcement systems in the period that the related assets are placed in service. Asset retirement obligations are contractual obligations to restore property to its initial state. These obligations, which are initially estimated based on discounted cash flow estimates, are accreted to full value over time through charges to operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The associated asset retirement obligation is capitalized as part of the related asset’s carrying value and is depreciated over the asset’s estimated remaining useful life. When events and circumstances indicate that the original estimates used for asset retirement obligations may need revision, the Company reassesses the assumptions used and adjusts the liability appropriately.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs consist of the costs incurred to obtain long-term financing, including the Company’s credit facilities (see Note 8, Long-Term Debt ). These costs, which are a reduction to long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets, are amortized over the term of the related debt, using the effective interest method for term debt and the straight-line method for revolving credit facilities. Amortization of deferred financing costs for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $ 4.7 m ill ion, $ 5.5 million and $ 5.2 million respectively.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax expense includes U.S and international current and deferred income taxes and interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions. Certain income and expenses are not reported in tax returns and financial statements in the same year. The tax effect of these temporary differences is reported as deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets are reported net of a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. All deferred income taxes are classified as long-term on our consolidated balance sheets.
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation In October 2018, the Company established the Verra Mobility 2018 Equity Incentive Plan which provides for a variety of stock-based awards for issuance to employees and directors. In May 2023, the Company's stockholders approved the Verra Mobility Corporation Amended and Restated 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “ 2018 Plan ”), which, among other things, increased the maximum number of shares available for awards by 5,000,000 shares. The Company grants RSUs, stock options and PSUs. The Company recognizes the fair value of RSUs based on the Company’s common stock price at market close on the date of the grant. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options, and uses the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of PSUs containing market conditions. The Black-Scholes model requires an assumption regarding the expected life of the stock option, which the Company estim ated to be 6.25 years by applying the short-cut method permitted under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110. PSUs granted vest at the end of a three-year period (or ratably over three years for certain grants), which matches the awards’ performance period. RSUs and stock options vest based on the continued service of the recipient. PSUs are issued upon continued service along with the relative satisfaction of a market condition that measures the Company’s total stockholder return relative to a comparably calculated return for a peer group during the performance period or to the Company's absolute total stockholder return. In addition, the Black-Scholes and the Monte Carlo models require assumptions to be made regarding the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price. Stock price volatility is determined by averaging an implied volatility with the measure of historical volatility for stock options and using the historical volatility for PSUs. The following represents our weighted average assumptions for stock options and PSUs granted for the respective p eriods: For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Stock options Weighted average expected volatility 38.5 % 45.1 % 47.7 % Weighted average risk-free interest rate 4.28 % 2.94 % 0.94 % PSUs Weighted average expected volatility 43.8 % 48.0 % 50.4 % Weighted average risk-free interest rate 4.29 % 2.78 % 0.33 % Compensation expense for share-based awards is determined based on the grant date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the share-based award. The compensation expense for the PSUs is recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. See Note 13, Equity Incentive Plan , for more information on the Company’s share-based awards.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Nature of Goods and Services The following is a description of principal activities, separated by reportable segments, from which the Company generates revenue: Commercial Services . The Commercial Services segment offers toll and violation management solutions for commercial fleet operators, including RACs, Direct Fleets and FMCs. The Company determined its performance obligation is a distinct stand-ready obligation, as there is an unspecified quantity of services provided that does not diminish, and the customer is being charged only when it uses the Company’s services, such as toll payment, title and registration, etc. Payment terms for contracts with commercial fleet and rental car companies vary, but are usually billed as services are performed. The Company recognizes revenue over time based on the number of transactions processed on behalf of customers during the period. It recognizes revenue on a net basis when it acts as an agent in the transaction. Government Solutions. The Government Solutions segment principally generates revenue by providing complete, end-to-end speed, red-light, school bus stop arm, and bus lane enforcement solutions. Products, when sold, are typically sold together with the services in a bundle for a majority of customers. The average initial term of a contract is three to five years . Payment terms for contracts with government agencies vary depending on whether the consideration is fixed or variable. Payment terms for contracts with fixed consideration are usually based on equal installments over the duration of the contract. Payment terms for contracts with variable consideration are usually billed and collected as citations are issued or paid. Certain mobile speed programs are billed per camera system deployed. In instances when the consideration expected from the customer is subject to variation, any variable consideration affecting revenue recognition is allocated to the distinct period (the monthly period) that it relates to. • Product sales (sale of camera systems and installation) – the camera systems and related installation services are an integrated solution and are accounted for as a single performance obligation. The revenues for this performance obligation are generally recognized at a point in time when the installation process is completed and the camera system is ready to perform the services as expected by the customer. Generally, this occurs at site acceptance. • Service revenue – the Company provides a suite of services which may include camera maintenance, processing images taken by the camera, forwarding eligible images to the police department and processing payments on behalf of the municipality. The Company concluded that the suite of services as a whole represents one service offering and is a single performance obligation. The service offering is accounted for as a single continuous service. The Company applies the series guidance for those services as it stands ready to deliver those services over the contract period. The Company recognizes revenue from services over time, as they are performed. Many of the Company’s customer contracts include both product sales and service revenue. The Company applies judgment when determining whether the product sales and service offering are accounted for as combined performance obligation or distinct performance obligations. In contracts where title to the camera system does not transfer to the customer, the Company accounts for the contract as a single, combined performance obligation. This is because the customer receives the right to use the photo enforcement system and the service offering concurrently. For other contracts, the Company accounts for the products and services as distinct performance obligations because the camera systems and the related service solution are both capable of being distinct and are not highly interdependent and interrelated. In contracts with multiple performance obligations, consideration is allocated between separate products and services in a bundle based on their stand-alone selling prices (“ SSP ”). The Company estimates the SSP for its product sales using expected cost plus margin. The Company is unable to establish the SSP for its service offering based on observable prices as the services are sold for a wide range of amounts (the selling price is highly variable). As such, the SSP for service offerings included in these contracts is generally determined by applying a residual approach. Parking Solutions . The T2 Systems business offers an integrated suite of parking software, transaction processing and hardware solutions to its customers. Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of software as a service (“ SaaS ”) and specialized hardware. For bundled offerings, the Company accounts for individual products and services separately if they are distinct and allocates the transaction price based on the relative SSP. The Company is able to establish the SSP for its product sales based on the observable prices of products sold separately in comparable transactions. For professional services, the Company’s estimate of the standalone selling price is comprised of multiple factors which include a cost plus margin approach and the historical sales price of similar services. The Company is unable to establish the SSP for its software licenses based on observable prices given the same products are sold at a broad range of prices and a representative SSP is not discernible from past transactions or other observable evidence, as such, the SSP for software licenses included in a contract with multiple performance obligations is generally determined by applying a residual approach. The Company’s estimates of SSP are reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. • The Company’s hosted parking management software products provide customers the ability to manage access to their parking lots and garages, issue physical or virtual parking permits and manage citations issued through enforcement devices. Revenue derived from these SaaS products is recognized ratably over the contractual service period beginning on the date the service is made available to the customer. • Service revenue derived from the Company’s professional services are recognized over time as the services are performed. Revenues for fixed-price service projects are generally recognized over time applying input methods to estimate progress to completion. • Revenue from product sales is recognized at a point in time when a customer takes control of the hardware, which typically occurs when the product is delivered to the customer and ownership is transferred to the customer. Remaining Performance Obligations Deferred revenue represents amounts that have been invoiced in advance which are expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods, and it primarily relates to the Government Solutions and Parking Solutions customers. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had approximately $ 13.1 million and $ 12.2 million of deferred revenue in the Government Solutions segment, respectively. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 5.2 million and $ 3.7 million, respectively, of revenue related to amounts that were included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had approximately $ 19.7 million and $ 21.2 million of deferred revenue in the Parking Solutions segment, respectively. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $ 20.7 million and $ 20.1 million, respectively, of revenue related to amounts that were included in deferred revenue as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations includes deferred revenue above and unbilled amounts that are expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods. As of December 31, 2023, total transaction price allocated to performance obligations in the Government Solutions segment that were unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $ 317.6 million, of which $ 204.3 million is expected to be recognized as revenue in the next twelve months and the rest over the remaining performance obligation period. The Company elected the practical expedients to omit disclosure for the amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations with original expected contract length of one year or less and the amount that relates to variable consideration allocated to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation to transfer a distinct good or service within a series of distinct goods or services that form a single performance obligation.
Credit Card Rebates	Credit Card Rebates The Company earns volume rebates from total spend on purchasing cards and recognizes the income in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recor ded $ 17.8 million, $ 14.5 million, and $ 11.3 million respectively, related to rebates.
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, w ere $ 1.1 m illion , $ 1.0 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively, and were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that differ from their functional currencies are re-measured at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The foreign currency effect of the re-measurement is included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations. The impact of foreign currency re-measurement was losses of $ 1.7 million, $ 0.7 million and $ 0.2 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates while revenue and expenses are translated from functional currencies at average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity.
Acquisitions	Acquisitions The Company applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The Company allocates the fair value of the purchase price consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. The Company includes the results of operations of businesses acquired from the date of the respective acquisition. Any transaction costs associated with acquisitions are expensed as incurred. Measurement period adjustments to preliminary purchase price allocations are recognized in the period in which they are determined, with the effect on earnings of any changes in depreciation, amortization or other income resulting from such changes calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. If applicable, we estimate the fair value of contingent consideration payments in determining the purchase price. Contingent consideration is adjusted to fair value in subsequent periods as an increase or decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment, and includes the use of independent valuation specialists to assist the Company in estimating fair values of acquired tangible and intangible assets. Although the Company believes that the assumptions applied in the determination are reasonable based on information available at the date of acquisition, actual results may differ from estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Adopted In March 2020, the 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 provided temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. It provided optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is 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 cessation of LIBOR in June 2023. As a result, the Company adopted the standard and elected to apply the optional expedients which enabled it to consider the change in the benchmark 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 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. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU intends to enhance disclosure related to significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM, amounts presented as “other” within segment profit (loss), require that all annual disclosures are also reported for interim periods, further define the CODM and how they use segment profit (loss) to allocate resources, and require that entities with only a single reportable segment provide all required segment disclosures. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures . The ASU requires companies to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, provide additional disclosure for reconciling items that exceed proscribed thresholds, and enhance disclosure regarding income taxes paid and sources of income (loss) from continuing operations including the tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial statements.
