CHICAGO, Feb. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SP® Plus Corporation (Nasdaq:SP), a best-in-class technology and operations management provider of mobility services for aviation, commercial, hospitality, and institutional clients throughout North America and Europe, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2023 results.

Management Commentary

Marc Baumann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Fourth quarter results capped a record year for SP+ in 2023. Full-year reported gross profit increased 15%, adjusted gross profit increased 13% and adjusted EBITDA increased 10%, reflecting excellent execution of our growth strategy by our SP+ team members who strengthened our industry leadership position by bringing both innovative technology solutions and superior operations to existing and new clients.

“Both our Commercial and Aviation segments experienced double-digit gross profit growth in 2023, as strong demand across the majority of our verticals led to a continued increase in our addressable market through new business wins. Commercial segment reported gross profit increased 14% and adjusted gross profit increased 11% for the year, reflecting robust location growth and increased activity and services at existing locations. We ended 2023 with 3,384 commercial locations, representing year-on-year growth of 8% and 11 consecutive quarters of net location growth, while maintaining a high location retention rate of 94%. Also contributing to our record 2023 results was the continuing success of our Sphere technology offerings which gained further traction with existing clients and enabled us to add 120 new standalone deployments at locations not currently utilizing any SP+ services. Aviation segment reported gross profit increased 19% and adjusted gross profit increased 17% year-on-year, as results continued to benefit from recent airport contract wins, high travel volumes and recent strategic technology acquisitions.

Mr. Baumann concluded by noting, “The Company was honored with two important recognitions in early 2024. SP+ was named as one of America’s Greatest Workplaces for Diversity for 2024 by Newsweek and Plant-A Insights Group and for the second year in a row was included in the Forbes list of America’s most successful Small-Cap companies. These recognitions acknowledge the hard work and dedication of our people as well as our corporate culture, which harnesses our diverse perspectives to create a better SP+.”

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

Reported gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 20% year-over-year to $58.1 million. Excluding depreciation, acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs, adjusted gross profit was up 10% to $62.6 million, as a result of increased parking activity, new contract wins and the benefit of high location retention.

Fourth quarter 2023 reported general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $40.4 million, compared to $30.7 million in the year ago quarter. Adjusted G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023, which exclude acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs, were $30.2 million, compared to $28.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, reflecting investments in technology offerings as well as other growth-related initiatives.

Fourth quarter 2023 reported net income attributable to SP Plus was $1.2 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, compared to $4.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share in the year ago quarter. Fourth quarter 2023 adjusted earnings per share were $0.60, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.56 for the fourth quarter of 2022.

Full Year Operating Results

Full-year 2023 reported gross profit was $239.6 million, 15% more than $208.0 million in 2022. Excluding depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs, adjusted gross profit increased 13% to $254.7 million from $225.5 million in 2022, reflecting underlying growth in same store locations, increased travel activity, new business wins and Sphere technology-only location implementation.

Full year reported G&A expenses were $140.4 million, compared to $109.1 million in 2022. Excluding acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs, adjusted G&A expenses in 2023 were $122.1 million, compared to $105.4 million in the year ago period, reflecting increased investments in business development, technology and growth initiatives

2023 full year reported net income attributable to SP Plus was $31.1 million, or $1.57 per share, compared to $45.2 million, or $2.15 per diluted share in 2022. Adjusted earnings per share were $2.76 in 2023, slightly below the $2.78 reported in 2022.

Full-year 2023 cash flow from operations totaled $55.8 million and free cash flow was $31.2 million, compared to $93.3 million and $68.6 million, respectively, in 2022. In 2023, growth in the business was offset by a cash use of $21.7 million related to acquisition and restructuring costs. These items combined with the receipt of a one-time $20.5 million federal income tax refund in 2022 drove the year-over-year decrease in free cash flow.

Recent Events

On February 12, 2024, SP+ announced that at its special meeting of stockholders on February 9, 2024, SP+ stockholders voted to approve the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger with Metropolis Technologies, Inc. (the “Merger”). The Merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”). As previously disclosed, on February 5, 2024, SP+ and Metropolis each received a request for additional information and documentary material, often referred to as a “Second Request,” from the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), which extends the waiting period under the HSR Act until 30 days after SP+ and Metropolis have each substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is extended voluntarily by the parties or is earlier terminated by the DOJ. SP+ and Metropolis will continue to cooperate fully with the DOJ in its review. The Company continues to expect the Merger to close in 2024.

In light of the pending acquisition by Metropolis Technologies, Inc., and as is customary during such transactions, SP+ will not host an earnings conference call for its fourth quarter 2023 results.

For a detailed discussion of factors that could affect the Company's future operating results, please see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the disclosures under "Risk Factors" in those filings.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted gross profit, adjusted general and administrative expenses (adjusted G&A), adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to SP Plus (adjusted net income), adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to SP Plus (adjusted EPS), and adjusted EBITDA exclude items that management does not consider indicative of its core performance.  Such adjustments include, among other things: (i) acquisition-related, restructuring and other costs; (ii) impairment charges; (iii) non-routine settlements; (iv) the amortization of acquired intangible assets; (v) the impact of non-routine asset sales or dispositions; (vi) the net loss or gains and the financial results related to sold businesses; (vii) gain/loss on termination of joint ventures or sale of other investments; (viii) non-routine tax items; and (ix) with respect to adjusted gross profit, depreciation and amortization expense. Pre-tax adjustments are tax affected at a statutory tax rate of 27% for adjusted net income and adjusted EPS purposes.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as U.S. GAAP net income attributable to the Company before (i) interest expense net of interest income, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gain on sale of a business or contribution of a business to an unconsolidated entity, (v) gain/loss on termination of joint ventures or sale of other investments, and (vi) other items that management does not consider indicative of its core performance, as defined per above. The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides useful information regarding the Company’s operating performance and are useful measures to facilitate comparisons to our historical and future operating results. The Company's definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, less cash used for investing activities (exclusive of cash used for acquisitions or the purchase of intangible assets and net after-tax cash proceeds from the sale of businesses or joint venture related assets), less distributions to non-controlling interests, plus the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes that the presentation of free cash flow provides useful information regarding its ability to generate cash flow from business operations after funding capital expenditures, that can be used to, among other things, repay debt, fund strategic acquisitions, and return value to shareholders. The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, to evaluate its operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of its competitors. Additionally, the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in the Company’s budgeting and planning process. The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors helps investors evaluate the Company’s operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance and consistent with guidance previously provided by the Company. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted G&A, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation of, or as alternatives to or more meaningful indicators of, the Company's operating performance or liquidity than gross profit, G&A, operating income, net income, EPS, or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, see the accompanying tables to this release.

The summary condensed consolidated financial statements presented below reflect a combination of certain line items from our consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and quarterly filings with the SEC.
