CHICAGO, Feb. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SP Plus Corporation (Nasdaq:SP), a leading provider of technology-driven mobility solutions for aviation, commercial, hospitality and institutional clients throughout North America and Europe, today announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2022 results.

Management Commentary

Marc Baumann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Strong performance in the fourth quarter capped a year of substantial double-digit growth across all key financial metrics, notably gross profit, EBITDA, and EPS. We continue to effectively execute on our strategy by growing our existing contracts, maintaining our outstanding retention rates and winning new business as we accelerate the deployment of our award-winning SphereTM and AeroParkerTM technology solutions.

“Fourth quarter reported gross profit in the Commercial segment was essentially flat year-over-year due to a lease impairment charge, while adjusted gross profit increased 11% in the fourth quarter and 18% for the full year. This growth was led by higher demand across most verticals, in particular, large venues, hospitality and commercial, as well as the continued rollout and adoption of Sphere. The fourth quarter also marked the seventh consecutive quarter of net new location growth in the Commercial segment. Gross profit in the Aviation segment increased 25% in the fourth quarter and 38% for the full year, reflecting recent new contract wins and increased activity within the travel industry. We continue to win new business in our Aviation segment and pursue cross-sell opportunities across 158 global airports in our portfolio, including 65 unique airports added via the October 2022 acquisition of AeroParker and its industry-leading SaaS platform. In addition to considerably expanding our addressable market, we believe this acquisition will serve as a technology growth platform for SP+ globally.

“SP+ is leading the digital transformation of the parking industry, and technology continues to be an important competitive differentiator for us. We’re processing one million digital transactions per month on SP+ enabled technology platforms. Our gated and gateless parking solutions continue to receive positive client response. Our suite of technology solutions has been further enhanced by the fourth quarter acquisitions of AeroParker and Divrt and the creation of our technology innovation lab in India. During 2022, we made the strategic decision to increase our investments in people and technology to accelerate future growth. In 2023, a key focus will be accelerating the deployment of our comprehensive portfolio of technology offerings in order to capitalize on evolving industry and consumer trends and realize revenue synergy opportunities resulting from the AeroParker acquisition. We believe we are well positioned to capture substantial growth opportunities.”

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

Reported gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2022, which included a $3.7 million non-cash lease impairment charge, increased 7% year-over-year to $48.6 million. Excluding depreciation and amortization, impairment charge and restructuring costs, adjusted gross profit was up 16% to $57.0 million as a result of effectively expanding existing relationships, improving our already strong location retention rate and winning new business.   

Fourth quarter 2022 reported general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $30.7 million, compared to $24.1 million in the year ago quarter. Excluding acquisition, restructuring and other costs, adjusted G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $28.7 million, compared to $23.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, mainly due to investments in business development, technology and other resources.

Fourth quarter 2022 reported net income attributable to SP Plus was $4.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $8.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share in the year ago quarter. Fourth quarter 2022 adjusted earnings per share were $0.56, 10% ahead of adjusted earnings per share of $0.51 for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Full-Year Operating Results

Full-year 2022 reported gross profit was $207.9 million, 24% ahead of $167.3 million in 2021. Excluding depreciation and amortization, impairment charges and restructuring costs, adjusted gross profit increased 22% to $225.5 from $185.5 million in 2021, reflecting an improved overall business environment, effective expansion of our existing relationships, and success winning new business, including technology-only locations made possible by Sphere. 

Full year reported G&A expenses were $109.1 million, compared to $88.2 million in 2021. Excluding acquisition, restructuring and other costs, adjusted G&A expenses in 2022 were $105.4 million, compared to $87.0 million in the year ago period, reflecting increased investments in business development, technology and other resources and higher costs related to performance-based compensation amid improved business activity.

2022 full-year reported net income attributable to SP Plus was $45.2 million, or $2.15 per share, up 43% and 45% from full-year 2021 reported net income and per share, respectively. Adjusted earnings per share of $2.78 in 2022 reflects a 44% year-over-year increase.

Full-year 2022 cash flow from operations totaled $93.3 million and free cash flow was $68.6 million, reflecting an increase of 75% and 64%, as compared to $53.4 million and $41.8 million, respectively, in 2021.  Growth in the business as well as the receipt of a one-time $20.5 million federal income tax refund were the primary drivers of the year-over-year increase in free cash flow.

2023 Outlook

Mr. Baumann concluded, “2022 was a year of strong performance for SP+ as well as a period in which we completed two strategically important technology acquisitions that we believe will help drive future growth. As we head into 2023, we are executing on the many facets of our growth strategy, which include:

  • strengthening our leadership position by bringing innovative technology solutions and superior operations to existing and new clients;
  • increasing our addressable market and realizing revenue synergies through our recent acquisitions; and
  • leveraging and monetizing our technology investments to further accelerate gross profit growth.

“Our 2023 outlook anticipates double-digit gross profit and adjusted EBITDA growth, at the midpoints, reflecting some benefit from the full-year impact of the recent acquisitions.  Our guidance contemplates approximately $15 million higher adjusted G&A expenses compared to 2022 as we continue to invest in people and technology to accelerate and support future growth. Some of these investments were made in the latter part of 2022, with additional initiatives planned for 2023.  Free cash flow guidance, which anticipates elevated levels of capital expenditures primarily for technology investments and a higher interest rate environment, provides the financial flexibility to continue with our capital allocation priorities of organic growth projects, acquisitions and share buybacks, all with the aim of creating additional shareholder value.  On that last point, our Board recently approved a new $60 million share repurchase authorization, highlighting its confidence in our growth strategy.

“SP+ is at an inflection point with respect to our growth trajectory. We believe the continued success of our multi-faceted growth strategy, coupled with consumer trends that favor technology-driven solutions, support our ability to achieve our 2023 outlook and high single-digit gross profit growth beyond 2023, which we believe will lead to significant operating leverage and accelerated growth in EBITDA and EPS. To that end, we expect technology to play a key role, as our goal is for technology solutions to generate more than 10% of gross profit by 2025.”

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, 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 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.
