SP PLUS CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands except share and per share data, unaudited)

 

1. The Company

 

SP Plus Corporation (the “Company”) provides parking management, ground transportation and other ancillary services to commercial, institutional and municipal clients in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. Its services include a comprehensive set of on-site parking management and ground transportation services, which consist of training, scheduling and supervising all service personnel as well as providing customer service, marketing, maintenance, security and accounting and revenue control functions necessary to facilitate the operation of clients’ parking facilities. The Company also provides a range of ancillary services such as airport shuttle operations, valet services, taxi and livery dispatch services and municipal meter revenue collection and enforcement services.

 

2. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, Statements of Income, and Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 13, 2014.

 

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update requires additional disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements on assets and liabilities to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of such arrangements on an entity’s financial position as reported. This amendment is effective for fiscal 2014 and retrospective application is required.  The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2014 did not have an impact to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists to eliminate diversity in practice. Under this ASU, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit that exists at the reporting date, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward if certain criteria are met. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2013.  The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2014 did not have an impact to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows or financial statement disclosures.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 create Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry specific revenue recognition guidance. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create a new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs — Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.

 

3. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to litigation and other claims in the normal course of its business. The Company applies the provisions as defined in the guidance related to accounting for contingencies in determining the recognition and measurement of expense associated with legal claims against the Company. Management uses guidance from internal and external legal counsel on the potential outcome of litigation in determining the need to record liabilities for potential losses and the disclosure of pending legal claims.

The Company has contractual provisions under certain lease contracts to complete structural or other improvements to leased properties and incur repair costs, including improvements and repairs arising as a result of ordinary wear and tear.  The Company evaluates the nature of those costs when incurred and either capitalizes the costs as leasehold improvements, as applicable, or recognizes the costs as repair expenses within Cost of Parking Services-Leases within the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

Certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger (defined in Note 5. Acquisition) include provisions allocating to the Company responsibility for all or a defined portion of structural or other improvement and repair costs required on the leased property, including improvement and repair costs arising as a result of ordinary wear and tear. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $841 and $942, respectively, of costs (net of expected recovery of 80% of the total cost through the applicable indemnity discussed further below and in Note 5. Acquisition) in Cost of Parking Services-Leases within the Consolidated Statement of Income for structural and other improvement and repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger, whereby the Company has expensed repair costs for certain leases and has engaged a third-party general contractor to complete certain defined structural and other improvement and repair projects. The Company expects to incur substantial additional costs for certain structural or other improvement and repair costs pursuant to the contractual requirements of certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger.    Based on information available at this time, the Company currently estimates the total structural and other improvement and repair costs related to these lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger to be between $12,000 and $23,000; however, the Company is still in the process of determining the full extent of the required repairs and improvements required and estimated costs associated with these lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger.  The Company currently expects to recover at least 80% of the total costs incurred prior to October 1, 2015 through the applicable indemnity discussed further below and in Note 5. Acquisition.  While the Company is unable to estimate with certainty when such costs will be incurred, it is expected that all or a substantial majority of these costs will be incurred in early- to mid-calendar year 2015 and prior to October 1, 2015.

On October 2, 2012 (“Closing Date”), the Company completed its acquisition (the “Central Merger” or “Merger”) of 100% of the outstanding common shares of KCPC Holdings, Inc., which was the ultimate parent of Central Parking Corporation (collectively, “Central”), for 6,161,332 shares of Company common stock and the assumption of approximately $217,675 of Central’s debt, net of cash acquired. Additionally, Central’s former stockholders will be entitled to receive cash consideration of $27,000 to be paid three years after closing, to the extent the $27,000 is not used to satisfy seller indemnity obligations pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 28, 2012 (the “Merger Agreement”).  The Company financed the acquisition through the issuance of its common stock and borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility (defined in Note 9. Borrowing Arrangements).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company is entitled to indemnification from Central’s former stockholders (i) if and to the extent Central’s combined net debt and the absolute value of Central’s negative working capital (as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement) (the “Net Debt Working Capital”) exceeded $285,000 as of September 30, 2012 and (ii) for certain defined adverse consequences as set forth in the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Central’s former stockholders are required to satisfy certain indemnity obligations, which are capped at $27,000 cash consideration (the “Capped Items”) only through a reduction of the $27,000 cash consideration.  For certain other indemnity obligations set forth in the Merger Agreement which are not capped at the $27,000 cash consideration (the “Uncapped Items”), including the Net Debt Working Capital indemnity obligations

Table of Contents

 

described above, Central’s former stockholders may satisfy their indemnity obligations as follows (provided that the Company reserves the right to reject the cash and stock alternatives and choose to reduce the $27,000 cash consideration):

 

·                  Central’s former stockholders can elect to pay the applicable amount with cash;

 

·                  Central’s former stockholders can elect to pay the applicable amount with the Company’s common stock (valued at $23.64 per share, the market value as of the closing date of the Merger Agreement); or

 

·                  Central’s former stockholders can elect to reduce the $27,000 cash consideration by the applicable amount, subject to the condition that the cash consideration remains at least $17,000 to cover Capped Items.

 

The Company has determined and concluded that the Net Debt Working Capital was $299,979 as of September 30, 2012 and that; accordingly, the Net Debt Working Capital exceeded the threshold by $14,979.  In addition, the Company has determined that it currently has indemnity claims for certain defined adverse consequences, which would reduce the cash consideration payable in three years from the acquisition date by $9,432. In addition, the Company expects to have additional indemnity claims in the future as new matters arise. The Company has periodically given Central’s former stockholders notice regarding indemnification matters since the closing date of the Merger and has made adjustments for known matters, although Central’s former stockholders have not agreed to such adjustments nor made any elections with respect to the payment of any Uncapped Items. Furthermore, following the Company’s notices of indemnification matters, the representative of Central’s former stockholders has indicated that they may make additional inquiries and potentially raise issues with respect to the Company’s indemnification claims (including, specifically, as to the Company’s Net Debt Working Capital calculation) and that they may assert various claims of their own relating to the Merger Agreement.  Under the Merger Agreement, all post-closing claims and disputes, including as to indemnification matters, are ultimately subject to resolution through binding arbitration or, in the case of a dispute as to the calculation of Net Debt Working Capital, resolution by an independent public accounting firm.  The Company intends to pursue these dispute resolution processes, as applicable, in a timely manner.

 

In determining the Net Debt Working Capital as of September 30, 2012 of $14,979 and the indemnity claims for certain defined adverse consequences of $9,432, the Company has evaluated the nature of the costs and related indemnity claims and has concluded that it is probable that such indemnified claims will sustain any challenge from Central’s former stockholders. Additionally and as previously discussed in Note 3. Legal and Other Contingencies, certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger include provisions allocating to the Company responsibility for all or a defined portion of structural or other improvement and repair costs required on the property, including improvement and repair costs arising as a result of ordinary wear and tear.  As the Company incurs structural and other improvement and repair costs for these lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger, the Company will seek indemnification for a significant portion of these costs pursuant to the Merger Agreement and reduces the cash consideration payable in three years from the acquisition date by such amounts.

 

The following table sets forth the adjustments to the cash consideration payable by the Company to the former stockholders of Central, based upon the foregoing determinations:

The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting (in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations), which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price has been allocated based on the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the third quarter of 2013, which resulted in revision to the previously reported preliminary amounts, applied retrospectively back to the date of the acquisition.

 

The Company has incurred certain acquisition and integration costs associated with the transaction that have been expensed as incurred and reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized $537 and $3,093 of these costs in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in General and Administrative Expenses. The Company recognized $2,042 and $7,317 of these costs in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in General and Administrative Expenses.

6. Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock Options and Grants

 

There were no stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company recognized no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, as all stock options previously granted were fully vested. As of June 30, 2014, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options.

 

On April 22, 2014, the Company authorized vested stock grants to certain directors totaling 19,336 common shares. The total value of the grant, based on the fair value of common stock on the grant date, was $491 and is included in General and Administrative Expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Income.  On April 24, 2013, the Company authorized vested stock grants to certain directors totaling 21,949 common shares. The total value of the grant, based on the fair value of common stock on the grant date, was $465 and is included in General and Administrative Expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Income.

 

Restricted Stock Units

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company authorized a one-time grant of 7,518 restricted stock units to an executive that vest in March 2019.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, 1,416 restricted stock units and 27,000 restricted stock units vested, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 4,124 restricted stock units were forfeited under the amended and restated Long-Term Incentive Plan and became available for reissuance. No restricted stock units were forfeited in the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

The Company recognized $721 and $1,017 of stock-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock units for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in General and Administrative Expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Income.  The Company recognized $1,450 and $2,059 of stock-based compensation expenses related to restricted stock units for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in General and Administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income.  As of June 30, 2014, there was $5,845 of unrecognized stock-based compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the restricted stock units that are expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of approximately 3.8 years.

 

7. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares, including stock options and restricted stock units using the treasury-stock method. A reconciliation of the weighted average basic common shares outstanding to the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding is as follows (unaudited):

8. Bradley Agreement

 

The Company entered into a 25-year agreement with the State of Connecticut (“State”) that expires on April 6, 2025, under which it operates the surface parking and 3,500 garage parking spaces at Bradley International Airport (“Bradley”) located in the Hartford, Connecticut metropolitan area.

 

The parking garage was financed through the issuance of State of Connecticut special facility revenue bonds and provides that the Company deposits, with the trustee for the bondholders, all gross revenues collected from operations of the surface and garage parking. From these gross revenues, the trustee pays debt service on the special facility revenue bonds outstanding, operating and capital maintenance expense of the surface and garage parking facilities, and specific annual guaranteed minimum payments to the state. Principal and interest on the Bradley special facility revenue bonds increase from approximately $3,600 in contract year 2002 to approximately $4,500 in contract year 2025. Annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State increase from approximately $8,300 in contract year 2002 to approximately $13,200 in contract year 2024. The annual minimum guaranteed payment to the State by the trustee for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is $10,815 and was $10,593, respectively. All of the cash flow from the parking facilities are pledged to the security of the special facility revenue bonds and are collected and deposited with the bond trustee. Each month the bond trustee makes certain required monthly distributions, which are characterized as “Guaranteed Payments.”  To the extent the monthly gross receipts generated by the parking facilities are not sufficient for the trustee to make the required Guaranteed Payments, the Company is obligated to deliver the deficiency amount to the trustee, with such deficiency payments representing interest bearing advances to the trustee. The Company does not directly guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee.

 

The following is the list of Guaranteed Payments:

 

· Garage and surface operating expenses,

· Principal and interest on the special facility revenue bonds,

· Trustee expenses,

· Major maintenance and capital improvement deposits; and

· State minimum guarantee.

 

To the extent sufficient funds are available, the trustee is then directed to reimburse the Company for deficiency payments up to the amount of the calculated surplus, with the Company having the right to be repaid the principal amount of any and all deficiency payments, together with actual interest and premium, not to exceed 10% of the initial deficiency payment. The Company calculates and records interest and premium income along with deficiency principal repayments as a reduction of cost of parking services in the period the associated deficiency repayment is received from the trustee. The Company believes these advances to be fully recoverable as the Bradley Agreement places no time restriction on the Company’s right to reimbursement. The reimbursement of principal, interest and premium will be recognized when received.

 

The total deficiency payments to the State of Connecticut, net of reimbursements, as of June 30, 2014 is are as follows:

During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company received deficiency repayments (net of payments made) of $957 and $760, respectively, and received and recorded premium income of $104 and $60, respectively, with the net of these amounts recorded as reduction in Cost of Parking Services within the Consolidated Statement of Income. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company received deficiency repayments (net of payments made) of $1,050 and $357, respectively, and received and recorded premium of $117 and $60, respectively, with the net of these amounts recorded as reduction in Cost of Parking Services within the Consolidated Statement of Income.  The Company accrues for deficiency payments when the potential for future deficiency payments are both probable and estimable.  There were no amounts of estimated deficiency payments accrued as of June 30, 2014, as the Company concluded that the potential for future deficiency payments did not meet the criteria of both probable and estimable. The Company accrued $100 of estimated deficiency payments as of December 31, 2013.

 

In addition to the recovery of certain general and administrative expenses incurred, the Bradley Agreement provides for an annual management fee payment, which is based on operating profit tiers. The annual management fee is further apportioned 60% to the

Company and 40% to an unaffiliated entity and the annual management fee will be paid to the extent funds are available for the trustee to make a distribution, and are paid after Guaranteed Payments (as defined in the Bradley Agreement) are paid, and after the repayment of all deficiency payments, including interest and premium. Cumulative management fees of approximately $14,233 and $13,733 have not been recognized as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and no management fees were recognized as revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Senior Credit Facility

 

On October 2, 2012, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as co-syndication agents, U.S. Bank National Association, First Hawaiian Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation, as co-documentation agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”).

 

Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to the Company a new secured Senior Credit Facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) that permits aggregate borrowings of $450,000 consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200,000 at any time outstanding, which includes a letter of credit facility that is limited to $100,000 at any time outstanding, and (ii) a term loan facility of $250,000. The Senior Credit Facility matures on October 2, 2017.

 

The Company may be required to make mandatory repayments of principal within 90 days of each fiscal year-end provided that certain excess cash is available, as defined within the Credit Agreement.  In the event the Company is required to make mandatory repayments of principal pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the aggregate borrowings available under the Senior Credit Facility are reduced by the amount of mandatory principal repayments made by the Company.  In March 2014, the Company made a mandatory principal repayment of $7,940, as provided under the Credit Agreement.  There were no mandatory repayments of principal required under the Credit Agreement in 2013.

 

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply with the financial and operational covenants, the occurrence of any cross default event, non-compliance with other loan documents, the occurrence of a change of control event, and bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Lenders holding a majority of the commitments and outstanding term loan under the Credit Agreement have the right, among others, to (i) terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement, (ii) accelerate and require the Company to repay all the outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement and (iii) require the Company to cash collateralize any outstanding letters of credit.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, as of June 30, 2014, the Company is required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 4.0:1.0.  There are certain future step downs as described in the Credit Agreement; decreasing to 3.75:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal-quarter ending after July 1, 2014 through and including the quarter ending June 30, 2015, 3.5:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2015 through and including June 30, 2016 and 3.25:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2016.   In addition, as of June 30, 2014, the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25:1.0 and 1.35:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2014.

 

The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2014.

 

12



Table of Contents

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had $68,638 of borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement, of which the Company could have borrowed $43,419 on June 30, 2014 and remained in compliance with the above described covenants as of such date.  The additional borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is limited only as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end by the covenant restrictions described above.   At June 30, 2014, the Company had $56,212 of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, with aggregate borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility of $277,835 (excluding debt discount of $2,849).

 

Interest Rate Swap Transactions

 

On October 25, 2012, the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap transactions (collectively, the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate Notional Amount of $150.0 million (the “Notional Amount”). The Interest Rate Swaps have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement, originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the Credit Agreement, determined based upon the Company’s consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under the Credit Agreement. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and the Company assesses the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase of interest expense. As of June 30, 2014, no ineffectiveness of the hedge has been recognized. See Note 12. Fair Value Measurement for the fair value of the interest rate swap as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

 

The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than for cash flow hedging purposes.

11. Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized income tax expense of $4,254 on pre-tax earnings of $10,451 compared to $2,065 income tax expense on pre-tax earnings of $6,289 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $3,184 on pre-tax earnings of $7,803 compared to $1,911 income tax expense on pre-tax earnings of $6,444 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was a benefit of 40.7%, primarily as a result of recognizing a $6,359 discrete benefit for the reversal of a valuation allowance for a deferred tax asset established for historical net operating losses attributable to the State of New York. The valuation allowance was reversed in the first quarter of 2014 due to the New York tax law changes effective March 31, 2014, which resulted in the Company determining that the future benefit of net operating loss carryforwards was more likely than not to be realized.

 

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.

12. Fair Value Measurement

 

Fair value measurements-recurring basis

 

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches within the fair value measurement framework. Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

Applicable accounting literature establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The fair value hierarchy is based on observable or unobservable inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value.

 

Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. Applicable accounting literature defines levels within the hierarchy based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

 

· Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

· Level 2: Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs, which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

 

· Level 3: Inputs that are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

The Company seeks to minimize risks from interest rate fluctuations through the use of interest rate swap contracts and hedge only exposures in the ordinary course of business. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with our floating rate debt. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments at fair value, provided it meets certain documentary and analytical requirements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Hedge accounting creates the potential for a Consolidated Statement of Operations match between the changes in fair values of derivatives and the changes in cost of the associated underlying transactions, in this case interest expense. Derivatives held by the Company are designated as hedges of specific exposures at inception, with an expectation that changes in the fair value will essentially offset the change in the underlying exposure. Discontinuance of hedge accounting is required whenever it is subsequently determined that an underlying transaction is not going to occur, with any gains or losses recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations at such time, and with any subsequent changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. Fair values of derivatives are determined based on quoted prices for similar contracts. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swap is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity, and is being recognized as an adjustment to interest expense or other (expense) income, respectively, over the same period the related expenses are recognized in earnings. Ineffectiveness would occur when changes in the market value of the hedged transactions are not completely offset by changes in the market value of the derivative and those related gains and losses on derivatives representing hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized currently in earnings when incurred. No ineffectiveness was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

The significant inputs used to derive the fair value of the contingent acquisition consideration include financial forecasts of future operating results, the probability of reaching the forecast and the associated discount rate. The weighted average probability of the contingent acquisition consideration ranges from 10% to 50%, with a weighted average discount rate of 12%.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the contingent consideration liability measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (unaudited):

Obligations related to contingent consideration for certain acquisitions were finalized in June 2014 in the amount of $1,620, for which we expect pay in the third quarter of 2014.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized an expense of $491 in General and Administrative Expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Income due to the change in fair value measurements using a Level 3 valuation technique. The Company recognized no benefit or expense in the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized an expense of $657 and a benefit of $308, respectively, and recognized the related expense and benefit in General and Administrative Expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Income due to the change in fair value measurements using a Level 3 valuation technique. These adjustments were the result of using revised forecasts of operating results, updates to the probability of achieving the revised forecasts and updated fair value measurements that revised the Company’s contingent consideration obligations related to the purchase of these businesses.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

 

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets are measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, and leasehold improvements, equipment land and construction in progress are subsequently measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment is recognized. The Company assesses the impairment of intangible assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of its goodwill and intangible assets is not estimated if there is no change in events or circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

 

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2014 (unaudited) and December 31, 2013:

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments and has been classified as a Level 1 measurement. The fair value of the Senior Credit Facility and other obligations was estimated to not be materially different from the carrying amount, as these instruments bear interest at variable market rates and are generally measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments and have been classified as a Level 2 measurement.

 

Book overdrafts of $31,328 and $29,310 are included within Accounts Payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

13. Business Unit Segment Information

 

Segment information is presented in accordance with a “management approach,” which designates the internal reporting used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s segments are organized in a manner consistent with which separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the Company’s CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

 

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Company’s CODM. The CODM is the Company’s chief executive officer.

 

Each of the operating segments is directly responsible for revenue and expenses related to their operations including direct regional administrative costs. Finance, information technology, human resources, and legal are shared functions that are not allocated back to the four operating segments. The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, but does not evaluate segments using discrete asset information. There are no inter-segment transactions and the Company does not allocate interest and other income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization or taxes to operating segments. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

 

On November 1, 2013, the Company changed its internal reporting segment information reported to its CODM. The Company now reports Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec in Region One and Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina and South Carolina in Region Five. All prior periods presented have been restated to reflect the new internal reporting to the CODM.

Item 2.      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Important Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is being filed by SP Plus Corporation (“we”, “SP Plus” or the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and contains forward-looking statements, which are based on our current assumptions and expectations. These statements are typically accompanied by the words “expect,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend”, ‘will,” “predict,” “project,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “believe,” “would,” “might,” “anticipates,” or words of similar terms and phrases, but such words, terms and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.  These expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward looking statements are made based on management’s expectations, beliefs and projections concerning future events and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to operations and the business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond management’s control.  These forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and there can be no assurance that our expectations, beliefs and projections will be realized.

 

Although we believe there is a reasonable basis for the forward-looking statements, our actual results could be materially different. The most important factors which could cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements are set forth on our description of risk factors in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which should be read in conjunction with the forward-looking statements in this report. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changed circumstances, future events or for any other reason.

 

Overview

 

Our Business

 

We provide parking management, ground transportation and other ancillary services to commercial, institutional and municipal clients in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. Our services include a comprehensive set of on-site parking management and ground transportation services, which consist of training, scheduling and supervising all service personnel as well as providing customer service, marketing, maintenance, security and accounting and revenue control functions necessary to facilitate the operation of clients’ parking facilities. We also provides a range of ancillary services such as airport shuttle operations, valet services, taxi and livery dispatch services and municipal meter revenue collection and enforcement services.

 

We operate our clients’ properties through two types of arrangements: management contracts and leases. Under a management contract, we typically receive a base monthly fee for managing the facility, and we may also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility performance objectives. We also receive fees for ancillary services. Typically, all of the underlying revenue and expenses under a standard management contract flow through to our clients rather than to us. However, some management contracts, which are referred to as “reverse” management contracts, usually provide for larger management fees and require us to pay various costs. Under lease arrangements, we generally pay to the property owner either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer collections or a combination thereof. We collect all revenue under lease arrangements and we are responsible for most operating expenses, but we are typically not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. Margins for lease contracts vary significantly, not only due to operating performance, but also due to variability of parking rates in different cities and varying space utilization by parking facility type and location. As of June 30, 2014, we operated approximately 81% of our locations under management contracts and approximately 19% of our locations under leases. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we derived approximately 79% of our gross profit under management contracts and approximately 21% of our gross profit under lease contracts.

 

In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management’s primary focus is gross profit, total general and administrative expenses and general and administrative expenses as a percentage of our gross profit. Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we are required to account for them differs. Revenue from leases includes all gross customer collections derived from our leased locations (net of local parking taxes), whereas revenue from management contracts only includes our contractually agreed upon management fees and amounts attributable to ancillary services. Gross customer collections at facilities under management contracts, therefore, are not included in our revenue.

Table of Contents

 

Accordingly, while a change in the proportion of our operating agreements that are structured as leases versus management contracts may cause significant fluctuations in reported revenue and expense of parking services that change will not artificially affect our gross profit. For example, as of June 30, 2014, we operated approximately 81% of our locations under management contracts and we derived approximately 79% of our gross profit under management contracts. Only approximately 42% of total revenue (excluding reimbursed management contract revenue), however, was from management contracts because under those contracts the revenue collected from parking customers belongs to our clients. Therefore, gross profit and total general and administrative expenses, rather than revenue, are management’s primary focus.

 

On October 2, 2012, we completed our acquisition (the “Central Merger”) of Central Parking Corporation (“Central”) for 6,161,332 shares of our common stock and the assumption of $217.7 million of Central’s debt, net of cash acquired. Additionally, Central’s former stockholders will be entitled to receive $27.0 million to be paid three years after closing, to the extent the $27.0 million is not used to satisfy seller indemnity obligations pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 12, 2012. Our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 include Central’s results of operations for the periods presented.

 

General Business Trends

 

We believe that sophisticated commercial real estate developers and property managers and owners recognize the opportunity for parking and related services to be a profit generator rather than a cost center. Often, the parking experience makes both the first and the last impressions on their properties’ tenants and visitors. By outsourcing these services, they are able to capture additional profit by leveraging the unique operational skills and controls that an experienced parking management company can offer. Our ability to consistently deliver a uniformly high level of parking and related services and maximize the profit to our clients improves our ability to win contracts and retain existing locations. Our location retention rate for the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2014 was approximately 89%, compared to approximately 88% for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2013, excluding Central for the period of time in 2012 it was not under our ownership and dispositions required by the Department of Justice in connection with the Central Merger.

 

Summary of Operating Facilities

 

We focus our operations in core markets where a concentration of locations improves customer service levels and operating margins. The following table reflects our facilities operated at the end of the periods indicated:

Revenue

 

We recognize parking services revenue from lease and management contracts as the related services are provided. Substantially all of our revenue comes from the following two sources:

 

·             Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Parking services revenue related to lease contracts consist of all revenue received at a leased facility, including parking receipts (net of local parking taxes), consulting and real estate development fees, gains on sales of contracts and payments for exercising termination rights.

 

·             Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue consists of management fees, including both fixed and performance-based fees, and amounts attributable to ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, payments received for exercising termination rights, consulting, developmental fees, gains on sales of contracts, as well as insurance and other value-added services with respect to managed locations. We believe we generally purchase required insurance at lower rates than our clients can obtain on their own because we effectively self-insure for all liability and worker’s compensation claims by maintaining a large per-claim deductible. As a result, we have generated operating income on the insurance provided under our management contracts by focusing on our risk management efforts and controlling losses. Management contract revenue does not include gross customer collections at the managed locations as this revenue belongs to the property owner rather than to us. Management contracts generally provide us with a management fee regardless of the operating performance of the underlying facility.

Table of Contents

 

Conversions between types of contracts (lease or management) are typically determined by our client and not us. Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we account for them differs substantially.

 

Reimbursed Management Contract Revenue

 

Reimbursed management contract revenue consists of the direct reimbursement from the property owner for operating expenses incurred under a management contract, which are reflected in our revenue.

 

Cost of Parking Services

 

Our cost of parking services consists of the following:

 

·             Cost of parking services—lease contracts. The cost of parking services under a lease arrangement consists of contractual rental fees paid to the facility owner and all operating expenses incurred in connection with operating the leased facility. Contractual fees paid to the facility owner are generally based on either a fixed contractual amount or a percentage of gross revenue or a combination thereof. Generally, under a lease arrangement we are not responsible for major capital expenditures or real estate taxes.

 

·             Cost of parking services—management contracts. The cost of parking services under a management contract is generally the responsibility of the facility owner. As a result, these costs are not included in our results of operations. However, our reverse management contracts, which typically provide for larger management fees, do require us to pay for certain costs.

 

Reimbursed Management Contract Expense

 

Reimbursed management contract expense consists of direct reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of property owners under a management contract, which are reflected in our cost of parking services.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit equals our revenue less the cost of generating such revenue. This is the key metric we use to examine our performance because it captures the underlying economic benefit to us of both lease contracts and management contracts.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages, payroll taxes, insurance, travel and office related expenses for our headquarters, field offices, supervisory employees, and board of directors.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation is determined using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various asset classes, or in the case of leasehold improvements, over the initial term of the operating lease or its useful life, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets determined to have finite lives are amortized over their remaining estimated useful life.

 

Results of Operations

 

Segments

 

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources. Our CODM is our chief executive officer.

 

On November 1, 2013, the company changed its internal reporting segment information reported to its CODM. The company now reports Ontario, Manitoba and Quebec in Region One and Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina and South Carolina in Region Five. All periods presented have been restated to reflect the new reporting to the CODM.

 

Region One encompasses operations in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the Canadian Provinces of Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec.

Region Two encompasses event planning and transportation, and our technology-based parking and traffic management systems.

 

Region Three encompasses operations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and the Canadian Province of Alberta.

 

Region Four encompasses all major airport and transportation operations nationwide.

 

Region Five encompasses Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

 

Other consists of ancillary revenue that is not specifically identifiable to a region and insurance reserve adjustments related to prior years.

 

The business is managed based on regions administered by executive vice presidents. The following is a summary of revenues (excluding reimbursed management contract revenue), cost of parking services and gross profit by regions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Parking services revenue—lease contracts.  Lease contract revenue increased $1.7 million, or 1.4%, to $124.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $123.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in lease contract revenue resulted primarily from increases of $4.5 million from new locations and $2.2 million from same locations, partially offset by a $4.3 million decrease in revenue from contract expirations and $0.7 million decrease in conversions. Same location revenue increases were primarily due to increases in short-term parking and monthly parking revenue. 

 

From a reporting segment perspective, lease contract revenue increased primarily due to new locations in regions one, three, four and five, same location increases two, three, four and five and conversions in region three. The increase in lease contract revenue was partially offset by decreases in lease contract revenue for contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five and conversions for region one.  Same location revenue increases for the aforementioned regions were primarily due to increases in short-term parking and monthly parking revenue.

 

Revenue associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.

 

Parking services revenue—management contracts.  Management contract revenue decreased $3.4 million, or 3.8%, to $85.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $88.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  The decrease in management contract revenue resulted primarily from decreases of $4.3 million from contract expirations and $5.4 million from same locations, partially offset by a $6.2 million increase from new locations and $0.1 million increase in conversions. The decreases in same location revenue were primarily due to decreases in other ancillary services.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, management contract revenue decreased primarily due to same locations in regions four, five and other, contract expirations in all five regions and conversions in region three, which was partially offset by increases in revenue for new locations in all five regions, same locations in regions one and two and conversions in regions one and five.  The decreases in same location revenue for the aforementioned regions were primarily due to decreases in other ancillary services.

Reimbursed management contract revenue increased $6.1 million, or 3.9%, to $164.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $158.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of owners.

Cost of parking services—lease contracts.  Cost of parking services for lease contracts decreased $0.1 million, or 0.1%, to $112.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $112.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  The decrease in cost of parking services for lease contracts resulted primarily from decreases of $3.9 million from contract expirations and $0.6 million from conversions, partially offset by a $3.7 million increase from new locations and $0.7 million increase for same location costs. Same location costs increased primarily due to higher lease rent expense, primarily as a result of contingent rental payments on the increase in revenue for same locations and structural and other repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger, partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, cost of parking services for lease contracts decreased primarily due to contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five, same locations in regions one and other and conversions in region one, partially offset by increases in new locations in regions one, three, four and five and same locations in regions two, three, four and five. Same location costs increased primarily due to higher lease rent expense, primarily as a result of contingent rental payments on the increase in revenue for same locations and structural and other repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger, partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses.

 

Cost of parking services associated with contract expirations relates to contacts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.

 

Cost of parking services—management contracts.  Cost of parking services for management contracts decreased $3.8 million, or 7.1%, to $50.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $53.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decreases in cost of parking services for management contracts resulted primarily from decreases of $2.3 million from contract expirations and $5.4 million from same locations, partially offset by a $3.9 million increase from new locations. Same location cost decreased primarily due to piror year insurance reserve adjustments and costs not specifically identifiable to a region and decreases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, cost of parking services for management contracts decreased primarily due to contract expirations in all five regions and same location in regions four, five and other, partially offset by increases in cost of parking services for management contracts for new locations in all five regions and same location in regions one, two and three.  Same location cost increased primarily as a result of increases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services.  The decrease in cost of parking services for same location within the other region was primarily attributed to prior year insurance reserve adjustments and costs that are not specifically identifiable to a region and decreases in costs assocaiated with reverse management contacts and cost of providing management services.

Gross profit—lease contracts.  Gross profit for lease contracts increased $1.8 million, or 16.2%, to $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $11.1 million for three months ended June 30, 2013. Gross profit percentage for lease contracts increased to 10.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 9.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  Gross profit for lease contracts increased primarily as a result of increases in gross profit for same location and new locations, partially offset by decreases in contract expirations, conversions and structural and other repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, gross profit for lease contracts increased primarily due to new locations one, three, four and five and increases in same locations for regions one, three, five and other, partially offset by decreases to gross profit for contract expirations in regions three, four and five and conversions in region one. Gross profit for lease contracts on same locations increased primarily due to increases in short-term and monthly parking revenue, partially offset by structural and other repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger and higher lease rent expense, primarily as a result of contingent rental payments on increased revenue.

 

Gross profit associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.

 

Gross profit—management contracts.  Gross profit for management contracts increased $0.4 million, or 1.2%, to $35.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $34.7 million the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in gross profit for management contracts primarily as a result of new locations and conversions, partially offset by decreases in contract expirations and same locations.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, gross profit for management contracts increased primarily due to new locations in all five regions, same locations in regions two and five and conversions in region one, partially offset by decreases to gross profit for contract expirations in regions one, three and five and same locations in regions one, three, four and other, and conversions in region three. Gross profit for management contracts decreased on same locations primarily the result of increases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services.  The other region amounts in same location primarily represent prior year insurance reserve adjustments and amounts that are not specifically identifiable to a specific region.

 

Gross profit associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $1.9 million, or 7.1%, to $25.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $26.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily related to a reduction in integration related costs incurred in connection with the Central Merger, partially offset by fluctuations in the estimate of contingent consideration obligations relating to previous acquisitions and changes in compensation and benefit costs.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.5 million, or 6.3%, to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was a result of a reduction in amortization and depreciation for acquired tangible and intangible assets from the Central Merger.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense was $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Interest income. Interest income was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased $2.2 million or 104.8%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to an expense of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013.  The effective tax rate was 40.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 32.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and increased primarily due to the expiration on January 1, 2014 of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and other similar tax credit programs.

Parking services revenue—lease contracts.  Lease contract revenue decreased $2.8 million, or 1.1%, to $241.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $244.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in lease contract revenue resulted primarily from decreases from contract expirations of $7.6 million, same locations of $1.7 million and conversions of $1.6 million, partially offset by increases in new locations of $8.1 million.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, lease contract revenue decreased primarily due to contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five, same locations in regions one and five and conversions in region one, partially offset by increases in lease contract revenue for new locations in all five regions and same locations for regions two, three, four and other. Same location revenue increases for the aforementioned regions were primarily due to increases in short-term parking and valet services revenue, despite the adverse impact due of severe weather in the first quarter 2014.

 

Revenue associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.

 

Parking services revenue—management contracts.  Management contract revenue decreased $4.0 million, or 2.2%, to $174.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $178.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The decrease in management contract revenue resulted primarily from decreases in contract expirations of $8.1 million and decreases in same locations of $8.7 million, partially offset by increases for new locations of $11.3 million and conversions $1.5 million. Same location revenue decreased primarily due to decreases in other ancillary services.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, management contract revenue decreased primarily due to contract expirations in all five regions, same locations in regions one, three, five and conversions in regions one and three, partially offset by increases in new locations in all five regions, same locations in regions two, four and other and conversions in region two. The decreases in same location revenue were primarily due to other ancillary services.

Cost of parking services—lease contracts.  Cost of parking services for lease contracts decreased $0.1 million to $224.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $224.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The decrease in cost of parking services resulted primarily from decreases of $6.7 million from contract expirations and $1.4 million from conversions, partially offset by $6.6 million increase from new locations and $1.4 million increase for same locations. Same location costs increased primarily due to structural repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger and higher lease rent expense, primarily as a result of contingent rental payments on increased revenue, partially offset by slightly lower operating costs.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, the decrease in cost of parking services for lease contracts was primarily due to contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five, reductions in cost of parking services within same locations in regions five and other and conversions in region one, partially offset by new locations in regions one, three, four and five and increases in cost of parking services within same locations in regions one, two, three and four. Same location cost increased primarily due to structural repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger and higher lease rent expense, primarily as a result of contingent rental payments on increased revenue, partially offset by slightly lower operating costs.

 

Cost of parking services associated with contract expirations relates to contacts that have expired however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.

 

Cost of parking services—management contracts.  Cost of parking services for management contracts decreased $3.5 million, or 3.1%, to $109.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $112.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in cost of parking services for management contracts resulted primarily from decreases of $4.3 million from contract expirations, $7.8 million from same locations and $0.3 million from conversions, partially offset by an $8.9 million increase from new locations. Same location cost decreases primarily resulted from lower costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services. 

 

From a reporting segment perspective, cost of parking services for management contracts decreased primarily due to contract expirations in all five regions, decreases in cost of parking services within same locations for regions one, three and five, partially offset by new locations in all five regions, increases in cost of parking services within same location in regions two, four and other. Same location cost decreases primarily resulted from lower costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services. 

 

Cost of parking services associated with contract expirations relates to contacts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.

 

Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expense increased $15.8 million, or 5.0%, to $333.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $317.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of owners.

Gross profit—lease contracts.  Gross profit for lease contracts decreased $2.7 million, or 13.4%, to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $20.2 million for six months ended June 30, 2013. Gross profit percentage for lease contracts decreased to 7.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 8.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Gross profit for lease contracts decreased primarily as a result of decreases in gross profit for contract expirations and the adverse impact due of severe weather in the first quarter 2014 for same locations, partially offset by increases in new locations.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, gross profit for lease contracts decreased primarily due to contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five, conversions in region one and same locations for regions one, two, four and five, partially offset by increases to gross profit for new locations in regions one, two, three, and four and same locations for region three. Gross profit for lease contracts on same locations decreased primarily due to decreases in short-term and monthly parking revenue as a result of adverse weather experienced in the first quarter 2014.

 

Gross profit associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that have expired however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.

 

Gross profit—management contracts.  Gross profit for management contracts decreased $0.5 million, or 0.8%, to $65.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $66.1 million for six months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to contract expirations of $3.8 million and same locations of $0.9 million, partially offset by new locations of $2.4 million and conversions of $1.8 million.

 

From a reporting segment perspective, gross profit for management contracts decreased primarily due to contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five, same locations in regions one and three, conversions in region three and new locations in region two, partially offset by increases to gross profit for new locations in regions one, three, four and five, conversions in regions two and five and same locations in regions two, four, five and other. Decreases in gross profit from management contracts for same locations were primarily the result of increases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services.  The other region amounts in same location primarily represent prior year insurance reserve adjustments and amounts that are not specifically identifiable to a region.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $3.7 million, or 6.8%, to $51.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $54.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily related to a reduction in integration related costs incurred in connection with the Central Merger and expected pay-out under our performance-based compensation programs, partially offset by fluctuations in the estimate of contingent consideration obligations relating to previous acquisitions and changes in compensation and benefit costs.

 

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased $0.9 million, or 5.4%, to $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This decrease was a result of a reduction in amortization and depreciation for acquired tangible and intangible assets from the Central Merger.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense was $9.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Interest income. Interest income was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased $5.1 million or 268.4%, to an income tax benefit of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to an expense of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was a benefit of 40.8%, as compared to an expense of 29.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.  The income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily as a result of recognizing a $6.3 million discrete benefit for the reversal of a valuation allowance for a deferred tax asset established for historical net operating losses attributable to the State of New York.  The valuation allowance was reversed in the first quarter 2014 due to the New York tax law changes effective March 31, 2014.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Outstanding Indebtedness

 

On June 30, 2014, we had total indebtedness of approximately $277.2 million, net of original discount on borrowings of $2.8 million, a decrease of $11.5 million from December 31, 2013.

 

The $277.2 million in total indebtedness as of June 30, 2014 includes:

 

·             $275.0 million under our Senior Credit Facility, net of original discount on borrowings of $2.8 million; and

 

·             $2.2 million of other debt obligations, which includes capital lease obligations and other indebtedness.

 

We believe that our cash flow from operations, combined with availability under our Senior Credit Facility which amounted to $43.4 million at June 30, 2014, will be sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness, and to fund other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before their respective maturities. We believe that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms.

 

Senior Credit Facility

 

On October 2, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agents, U.S. Bank National Association, First Hawaiian Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation, as co-documentation agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”).

 

Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to us a new secured Senior Credit Facility (“Senior Credit Facility”) that permits aggregate borrowings of $450.0 million consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million at any time outstanding, which includes a letter of credit facility that is limited to $100.0 million at any time outstanding, and (ii) a term loan facility of $250.0 million. The Senior Credit Facility matures on October 2, 2017.

 

The Company may be required to make mandatory repayments of principal within 90 days of each fiscal year-end provided that certain excess cash is available, as defined within the Credit Agreement.  In the event the Company is required to make mandatory repayments of principal pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the aggregate borrowings available under the Senior Credit Facility is reduced by the amount of mandatory principal repayments made by the Company.  In March 2014, the Company made a mandatory principal repayment of $7.9 million, as provided under the Credit Agreement.  There were no mandatory repayments of principal required under the Credit Agreement in 2013.

 

Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, (i) at a rate per annum based on our consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio for the 12-month period ending as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, determined in accordance with the applicable pricing levels set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Applicable Margin”) for LIBOR loans, plus the applicable

Table of Contents

 

LIBOR rate or (ii) the Applicable Margin for base rate loans plus the highest of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (y) the Bank of America, N.A. prime rate and (z) a daily rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus 1.0%.

 

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, as of June 30, 2014, we are required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 4.0:1.0.  There are certain future step downs as described in the Credit Agreement; decreasing to 3.75:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal-quarter ending after July 1, 2014 through and including the quarter ending June 30, 2015, 3.5:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2015 through and including June 30, 2016 and 3.25:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2016.   In addition, as of June 30, 2014, we are required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25:1.0 and 1.35:1.0 as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after July 1, 2014.

 

Events of default under the Credit Agreement include failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply with the financial and operational covenants, the occurrence of any cross default event, non-compliance with other loan documents, the occurrence of a change of control event, and bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Lenders holding a majority of the commitments and outstanding term loan under the Credit Agreement have the right, among others, to (i) terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement, (ii) accelerate and require us to repay all the outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement and (iii) require us to cash collateralize any outstanding letters of credit.

 

Each of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement) has guaranteed all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of the other guarantors and SP Plus arising under the Credit Agreement.

 

We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of June 30, 2014. We amended the covenants in November 2013 in connection with our restatement and based on the amendment, we will continue to treat the Bradley Agreement consistent with our prior accounting for purposes of the covenants.

 

At June 30, 2014, the Company had $68.6 million of borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement, of which the Company could have borrowed $43.4 million on June 30, 2014 and remained in compliance with the above described covenants as of such date. The additional borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement is limited only as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-end by the covenant restrictions described above.   At June 30, 2014, the Company had $56.2 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, with aggregate borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility of $277.8 million (excluding original discount on borrowings of $2.8 million).

 

Commitments and contingencies

 

While the Company has contractual provisions under certain lease contracts to complete structural or other improvements to leased properties and incur repair costs, including improvements and repairs arising as a result of ordinary wear and tear, the Company evaluates the nature of those costs when incurred and either capitalizes the costs as leasehold improvements, as applicable, or recognizes the costs as repair expenses within Cost of Parking Services-Leases within the Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

Certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger include provisions allocating to the Company responsibility for all or a defined portion of structural or other improvement and repair costs required on the leased property, including improvement and repair costs arising as a result of ordinary wear and tear. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of costs (net of expected recovery of 80% of the total cost through the applicable indemnity discussed further below and in Note 5. Acquisition) in Cost of Parking Services-Leases within the Consolidated Statement of Income for structural and other improvement and repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger, whereby the Company has expensed repair costs for certain leases and has engaged a third-party general contractor to complete certain defined structural and other improvement and repair projects. The Company expects to incur substantial additional costs for certain structural or other improvement and repair costs pursuant to the contractual requirements of certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger.  Based on information available at this time, the Company currently estimates the total structural and other improvement and repair costs related to these lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger to be between $12.0 million and $23.0 million; however, the Company is still in the process of determining the full extent of the required repairs and improvements required and estimated costs associated with these lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger.  The Company currently expects to recover at least 80% of the total costs incurred prior to October 1, 2015 through the applicable indemnity discussed further below and in Note 5. Acquisition.  However, the Company is currently in the process of determining the extent of the required repairs and improvements required and estimated costs associated with these related lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger.  While the Company is unable to estimate with certainty when such costs will be incurred, it is expected that all or a substantial majority of these costs will be incurred in early- to mid-calendar year 2015 and prior to October 1, 2015.

Interest Rate Swap Transactions

 

On October 25, 2012, the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap transactions (collectively, the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate Notional Amount of $150.0 million (the “Notional Amount”). The Interest Rate Swaps have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement, originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the Credit Agreement, determined based upon the Company’s consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under the Credit Agreement. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and we calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase of interest expense. As of June 30, 2014, no ineffectiveness of the hedge has been recognized. The fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was an asset of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and is included in Prepaid Expenses and Other within the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than for cash flow hedging purposes.

 

Deficiency Payments

 

Pursuant to our obligations with respect to the parking garage operations at Bradley International Airport, we are required to make certain payments for the benefit of the State and for holders of special facility revenue bonds. The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing advances to the trustee to cover operating cash flow requirements. As of June 30, 2014, we made $13.6 million of cumulative deficiency payments to the trustee, net of reimbursements. Deficiency payments made are recorded as increases to cost of parking services and the reimbursements are recorded as reductions to cost of parking services. We believe these advances to be fully recoverable and will recognize the principal, interest and premium payments related to the deficiency repayments when received. We do not directly guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee.

 

During  the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we received deficiency repayments (net of payments made) of $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, and received and recorded premium income of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, with the net of these amounts recorded as reduction in Cost of Parking Services within the Consolidated Statement of Income. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we received deficiency repayments (net of payments made) of $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and received and recorded premium income of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, with the net of these amounts recorded as reduction in Cost of Parking Services within the Consolidated Statement of Income. We accrue for deficiency payments when the potential for future deficiency payments are both probable and estimable.  There were no amounts of estimated deficiency payments accrued as of June 30, 2014, as we concluded that the potential for future deficiency payments did not meet the criteria of both probable and estimable. The Company accrued $0.1 million of estimated deficiency payments as of December 31, 2013.

 

Daily Cash Collections

 

As a result of day-to-day activity at our parking locations, we collect significant amounts of cash. Lease contract revenue is generally deposited into our local bank accounts, with a portion remitted to our clients in the form of rental payments according to the terms of the leases. Under management contracts, some clients require us to deposit the daily receipts into one of our local bank accounts, with the cash in excess of our operating expenses and management fees remitted to the clients at negotiated intervals. Other clients require us to deposit the daily receipts into client designated bank accounts, and the clients then reimburse us for operating expenses and pay our management fee subsequent to month-end. Some clients require segregated bank accounts for the receipts and disbursements at locations. Our working capital and liquidity may be adversely affected if a significant number of our clients require us to deposit all parking revenues into their respective accounts.

 

Our liquidity also fluctuates on an intra-month and intra-year basis, depending on the contract mix and timing of significant cash payments. Additionally, our ability to utilize cash deposited into our local accounts is dependent upon the availability and movement of that cash into our corporate account. For all these reasons, from time to time, we carry a significant cash balance, while also utilizing our Senior Credit Facility.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

Our primary sources of funds are cash flows from operating activities and changes in working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $23.1 million for the first six months of 2014.

There have been no material changes in our primary risk exposures or management of market risks from those disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2013.

 

Item 4.      Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we conducted an evaluation, under supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and corporate controller, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings

 

We are subject to litigation and other claims in the normal course of our business. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against us and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. We accrue a charge against income when our management determines that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we accrue for the authoritative judgments or assertions made against us by government agencies at the time of their rendering, regardless of our intent to appeal. In determining the appropriate accounting for loss contingencies, we consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to determine whether an accrual should be established or adjusted. Estimating the probability that a loss will occur and estimating the amount of a loss or a range of loss involves significant judgment. In addition, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and other matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the amount of the liability, if any, with respect to these matters will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We maintain liability insurance coverage to assist in protecting our assets from losses arising from or related to activities associated with business operations.
