Verra Mobility Announces Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

• Total revenue of $236.0 million
• Net income of $38.6 million
• Net cash provided from operations of $75.1 million
• Reaffirming 2025 full year guidance

MESA, Ariz., Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, announced today the financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

"We delivered a strong second quarter with all key financial measures ahead of our internal expectations," said David Roberts, President and CEO, Verra Mobility. "I am really proud of the team for executing strong performance and navigating a volatile macroeconomic period, while still generating strong revenue, earnings and cash flow growth. Based on our strong first-half performance and our outlook for the remainder of the year, we are maintaining our Full Year 2025 financial guidance. While travel demand appears to be stabilizing, we remain cautious that a further modest decline in travel volume may cause us to trend to the lower end of the financial ranges previously provided."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

• Revenue: Total revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $236.0 million, an increase of 6% compared to $222.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. Service revenue growth was 5%, driven by 7% growth in our Government Solutions segment and 5% growth from our Commercial Services segment. Government Solutions service revenue growth was driven primarily by the expansion of bus lane and school bus stop arm enforcement programs as well as speed and red-light enforcement programs, and the growth in Commercial Services revenue was due to increases in product adoption, tolling activity and our European operations. Parking Solutions service revenue declined by $0.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2024, as increased revenue from our software as a service ("SaaS") product offerings was offset by a decrease in subscription and professional services revenue related to parking management solutions.
• Net income and Earnings Per Share (EPS): Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $38.6 million, or $0.24 per share, based on 161.5 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Net income for the comparable 2024 period was $34.2 million, or $0.20 per share, based on 168.6 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2025 is primarily attributable to increased income from operations along with a decrease in interest expense compared to the prior year period.
• Adjusted EPS*: Adjusted EPS for the second quarter of 2025 was $0.34 per share compared to $0.31 per share for the second quarter of 2024.
• Adjusted EBITDA*: Adjusted EBITDA was $105.3 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $102.2 million for the same period in 2024. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 45% and 46% of total revenue for the 2025 and 2024 periods, respectively.
• Net Cash Provided from Operations: Cash provided by operating activities increased by approximately $35.1 million from $40.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 to $75.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 due primarily to improved working capital management.
• Free Cash Flow*: Free Cash Flow was $40.3 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $26.0 million for the same period last year.

*Non-GAAP measure; refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" further below for explanatory notes and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

We report our results of operations based on three operating segments:

• Commercial Services offers automated toll and violations management and title and registration solutions to rental car companies, fleet management companies and other large fleet owners.
• Government Solutions delivers automated safety solutions to municipalities, school districts and government agencies, including services and technology that enable photo enforcement cameras to detect and process traffic violations related to speed, red-light, school bus and city bus lane management.
• Parking Solutions provides an integrated suite of parking software, transaction processing and hardware solutions to universities, municipalities, parking operators, healthcare facilities and transportation hubs in the United States and Canada.

Second Quarter 2025 Segment Detail

• The Commercial Services segment generated total revenue of $109.1 million, a 5% increase compared to $104.0 million in the same period in 2024. Segment profit was $72.0 million, a 4% increase from $69.5 million in the prior year period. The increases in revenue and segment profit compared to the prior year period resulted from increased product adoption, tolling activity and from our European operations compared to the prior year. The segment profit margin was 66% for the second quarter of 2025 and 67% for the second quarter of 2024.
• The Government Solutions segment generated total revenue of $107.1 million, a 10% increase compared to $97.7 million in the same period in 2024. The increase was due to a 7% increase in recurring service revenue over the prior year period, primarily driven by the expansion of bus lane and school bus stop arm enforcement programs as well as increased revenue from speed and red-light enforcement programs. In addition, product revenue increased approximately $2.9 million from the prior year period. The segment profit was $30.1 million in 2025 compared to $29.9 million in the prior year period with segment profit margins of 28% for 2025 and 31% for 2024.
• The Parking Solutions segment generated total revenue of $19.9 million, a 4% decrease compared to $20.7 million in the same period in 2024 due primarily to a decrease in one-time product sales compared to the prior year period. The segment profit was $3.2 million compared to $2.8 million in the prior year period with segment profit margins of 16% for 2025 and 14% for 2024.

Liquidity: As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $147.7 million, and we generated $75.1 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

Net Debt and Net Leverage*: As of June 30, 2025, Net Debt was $893.4 million and Net Leverage was 2.2x, as compared to $968.0 million and 2.4x as of December 31, 2024.

*Non-GAAP measure; refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" further below for explanatory notes and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Fourth Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement
On May 15, 2025, we entered into a fourth amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement (the "Revolver") which increased the existing commitment from $75.0 million to $125.0 million available for loans and letters of credit. The remaining terms of the Revolver were unchanged including the maturity date of December 18, 2026. There were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The availability to borrow was $123.9 million, net of $1.1 million of outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2025.

Share Repurchases and Retirement
In October 2023, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock over an 18-month period. After we repurchased an aggregate 3.5 million shares for approximately $87.3 million in fiscal year 2024, in December 2024 our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $100 million of our outstanding shares under the then-existing program, providing us with approximately $112.7 million available for repurchases. On December 11, 2024, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement with a third-party financial institution and paid $112.7 million to receive an initial delivery of 3,821,958 shares of our Class A Common Stock. The final settlement occurred on March 3, 2025, at which time, we received an additional 685,934 shares calculated using a volume-weighted average price over the term of the ASR agreement. All repurchased shares were subsequently retired. The authorization under this share repurchase program ended on April 30, 2025.

On May 17, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program for up to an aggregate amount of $100.0 million of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Under the repurchase program, we may purchase shares of Class A Common Stock until November 2026 through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or by other means, including trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and ASR agreements, each as permitted under applicable rules and regulations. The amount and timing of repurchases will be determined at our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and alternative investment opportunities. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of Class A Common Stock or at any specific time intervals and may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time. We have not yet repurchased shares of Class A Common Stock under this repurchase program.

New Corporate Headquarters Lease
On May 29, 2025, we entered into a lease agreement for our new corporate headquarters building in Mesa, Arizona and began recording lease expense when we obtained access to the building to begin tenant improvements. Accordingly, we modified our existing corporate headquarters lease term to end in early 2026 when we expect to relocate to the new building.

In addition, no assurance can be given that any plan, initiative, projection, goal, commitment, expectation, or prospect set forth in this release can or will be achieved. This press release should be read in conjunction with the information included in our other press releases, reports and other filings with the SEC. Additional information regarding the factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is available in our SEC filings, including our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release and except to the extent required by applicable law, we do not assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events and developments or otherwise. Understanding the information contained in these filings is important in order to fully understand our reported financial results and our business outlook for future periods.

Additional Information
We periodically provide information for investors on our corporate website, www.verramobility.com, and our investor relations website, ir.verramobility.com.

We intend to use our website including our quarterly earnings presentation as a means of disclosing material non-public information, additional financial and operating metrics and for complying with disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings and public conference calls and webcasts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information in this press release. These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and are not intended to be, and should not be, considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt, and Net Leverage are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. As a result, they may not be comparable to similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measurements to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measurements have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations.

We are not providing a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS or Free Cash Flow which are included in our 2025 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, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income, Adjusted EPS to net income per share and Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities, 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, we caution investors that actual results could differ materially from these non-GAAP financial projections.

We use the non-GAAP metrics EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA Margin to measure our performance from period to period, to evaluate and fund incentive compensation programs and to compare our results to those of our competitors. We use the non-GAAP metrics Free Cash Flow in connection with managing the business and we use the non-GAAP metrics "Net Debt" and "Net Leverage" to understand our overall leverage position and to evaluate capital allocation decisions. In addition, we also believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends related to our results of operations and that when non-GAAP financial information is viewed with GAAP financial information, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance, liquidity and leverage relative to other periods. These non-GAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net income, cash flows from operations, earnings per share, other consolidated income, cash flow or debt data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define "EBITDA" as net income adjusted to exclude interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. "Adjusted EBITDA" further excludes certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items.

Free Cash Flow
We define "Free Cash Flow" as net cash flow provided by operating activities less purchases of installation and service parts and property and equipment.

Adjusted Net Income
We define "Adjusted Net Income" as net income adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles and certain non-cash or non-recurring expenses such as change in fair value of interest rate swap, loss on extinguishment of debt, among other items.

Adjusted EPS
We define "Adjusted EPS" as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

Net Debt
We define "Net Debt" as total long-term debt, net excluding original issue discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs, less cash and cash equivalents.

Net Leverage
We define "Net Leverage" as Net Debt divided by the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA as of the current quarter-end.

Additional Metrics

Recurring Revenue or Recurring Service Revenue
We define "Recurring Revenue" or "Recurring Service Revenue" as all revenue other than product sales for each of our segments, as we typically generate revenue on a recurring monthly basis under long-term contracts with our customers. This includes our Commercial Services segment where we generate service revenue through processing of tolls, violations, and titles and registrations.
