MESA, Ariz., March 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM) (the "Company"), a leading provider of smart mobility solutions, announced today that it is continuing to finalize its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and complete the related Audit Committee investigation described in the Company's Form 12b-25 filing issued on February 28, 2022. The Company expects the audit of its financial statements to be completed in the near term and confirms its estimated results for 2021 as set forth in its press release dated February 28, 2022.
Because the Company did not file its Form 10-K by March 31, 2022, a technical default will occur under the Company's first lien term loan credit agreement, revolving credit agreement and senior note indenture, pursuant to which approximately
"As we finalize the audit, we are confident in our business performance," said David Roberts, president and CEO, Verra Mobility. "Our 2022 outlook remains strong, and we have therefore decided to provide our financial guidance for 2022 at this time."
Any guidance that the Company provides is subject to change as a variety of factors can affect actual operating results. Certain of the factors that may impact the Company's actual operating results are identified below in the safe harbor language included within Forward-Looking Statements of this press release. In addition, the recent acquisitions of Redflex and T2 Systems include preliminary allocations of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Purchase price allocations are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The Company is providing the following forward-looking guidance, which includes Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure (defined below):
2022 Financial Guidance
Service Revenue:
Product Revenue:
Total Revenue:
Adjusted EBITDA:
The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, which is included in its 2022 financial guidance above, in reliance on the "unreasonable efforts" exception for forward-looking non-GAAP measures set forth in SEC rules because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated without unreasonable effort and expense. In this regard, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income (loss), due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Due to the uncertainty of estimates and assumptions used in preparing forward-looking non-GAAP measures, the Company cautions investors that actual results could differ materially from these non-GAAP financial projections.
The Company previously announced the appointment of Craig Conti as Chief Financial Officer to be effective April 11, 2022. In connection with the delayed Form 10-K filing, the Company and Mr. Conti have agreed that if the Form 10-K is not filed by April 8, 2022, his appointment as CFO will be delayed until the day after the Company files its Form 10-K. The potential delay in Mr. Conti's appointment as CFO will not impact his employment start date, which remains April 11, 2022, or any other terms of his employment agreement.
