MESA, Ariz., May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, announced today that it received a termination notice from Avis Budget Group regarding its contract with Verra Mobility, effective September 2026. Verra Mobility is taking steps to reduce costs and re-allocate certain resources associated with the customer to other customers.

"We were surprised and disappointed to receive this notice from Avis Budget Group given our longstanding partnership and the significant time invested by both parties in ongoing extension negotiations," said David Roberts, President and CEO of Verra Mobility. "We are now moving decisively to reduce costs, adapt our operations, and position the business for continued growth and future opportunities."

Verra Mobility intends to protect its contractual rights, intellectual property, and business interests. Accordingly, the company is reviewing matters related to the parties' negotiations, the handling of confidential information, and the parties' respective rights and obligations under their agreements.

Revised 2026 Full-Year Guidance

Based on the Company's year-to-date 2026 results and outlook for the remainder of the year including the aforementioned termination notice, Verra Mobility is revising its 2026 full-year financial outlook to the following:

• Total Revenue of $985 million to $995 million
• Adjusted EBITDA of $380 million to $385 million
• Adjusted EPS of $1.19 to $1.25

Underlying Assumptions for 2026 Full-Year Guidance

• Weighted average fully diluted share count expected to be approximately 155 million shares for the full-year 2026
• Effective tax rate (including state taxes) is expected to be 28.0% to 29.0%, with approximately $50 million in total cash taxes expected to be paid in 2026. The effective tax rate for non-GAAP adjustments is provided in the Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Calculation of Adjusted EPS in our most recent earnings press release dated May 6, 2026.

The Company currently expects the termination to reduce Commercial Services' 2026 annualized revenue by approximately $135 million to $145 million and 2026 annualized segment profit by approximately $120 million to $125 million, before taking into account expected cost reduction initiatives.

In addition, no assurance can be given that any plan, initiative, projection, goal, commitment, expectation, or prospect set forth in this press 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and first quarter 2026 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press 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.

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, public conference calls, webcasts, and social media. In addition, you may enroll to automatically receive e-mail alerts and other information about our company by visiting "Email Alerts" under the "Investor Resources" section of the "Investors" portion of our website.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We disclose certain forward-looking financial measures in this press release that are not determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP 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, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the 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. We are not providing a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS or Free Cash Flow which are included in our revised 2026 full-year 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 non-GAAP financial measures to measure our performance from period to period, to evaluate and fund incentive compensation programs, to manage the business and to compare our results to those of our competitors. In addition, we also believe that the non-GAAP measures we disclose 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. Non-GAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
