1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

The Company

SP Plus Corporation (the “Company”) provides parking management, ground transportation and other ancillary services to commercial, institutional and municipal clients in urban markets and airports across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. These services include a comprehensive set of on-site parking management and ground transportation services, which include facility maintenance, security services, training, scheduling and supervising all service personnel as well as providing customer service, marketing, and accounting and revenue control functions necessary to facilitate the operation of clients’ 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.

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 month periods ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. 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 6, 2015.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents represent funds temporarily invested in money market instruments with maturities of three months or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or use under the terms of certain contractual agreements was $1,192 and $465 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and are included within Cash and Cash Equivalents within the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Book overdrafts of $29,075 and $30,782 are included within Accounts payable within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Long-term debt has a carrying value that approximates fair value because these instruments bear interest at variable market rates.

Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

The Company has ownership interests in forty six partnerships, joint ventures or similar arrangements which operate parking facilities, of which twenty-nine are VIEs and seventeen are voting interest model entities where the Company’s ownership interests range from 30-50 percent and for which there are no indicators of control. The Company accounts for such investments under the equity method of accounting, and its underlying share of each investee’s equity is included in Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Entities within the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. As the operations of these entities are consistent with the Company’s underlying core business operations, the equity in earnings of these investments are included in Revenue within the Consolidated Financial Statements of Income. The equity earnings in these related investments for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $404 and $450, respectively.

In October 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture with Parkmobile USA, Inc. (“Parkmobile USA”) and contributed all of the assets and liabilities of its proprietary Click and Park parking prepayment business in exchange for a 30 percent interest in the newly formed legal entity called Parkmobile, LLC (“Parkmobile”). The joint venture of Parkmobile will provide on-demand and prepaid transaction processing for on- and off-street parking and transportation services. The contribution of the Click and Park business in the joint venture resulted in a loss of control of the business, and therefore it was deconsolidated from the Company’s financial statements. The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture with Parkmobile using the equity method of accounting, and its underlying share of equity in Parkmobile is included in Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Entities within the Consolidated Financial Statements of Financial Position.  The equity

earnings in the Parkmobile joint venture is included in Equity in Losses from Investment in Unconsolidated Entity within the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Non-Controlling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling holders’ percentage share of income or losses from the subsidiaries in which the Company holds a majority, but less than 100 percent, ownership interest and the results of which are consolidated and included within in our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect ASU 2015-03 to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, however, it will impact future balance sheet presentation and financial statement disclosures related to the Company’s debt issuance costs.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This ASU provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The new guidance does not change the accounting for a customer’s accounting for service contracts. ASU No. 2015-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015- 02 amends certain aspects of the consolidation guidance in U.S. GAAP. In particular, it will modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities and also eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. The new guidance will also affect the consolidation analysis of the Company’s interests in VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective on January 1, 2016 and retrospectively adoption is required either through a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the year of adoption or retrospectively for all comparative periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This Update eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2015-01 to have material impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-12 Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. A performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. As a result, the target is not reflected in the estimation of the award’s grant date fair value. Compensation cost would be recognized over the required service period, if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.

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 Contract, 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 of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.

2. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to claims and litigation 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 potential liabilities associated with legal claims against the Company. Management obtains input 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.

Certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger include provisions allocating to the Company responsibility for the cost of certain structural and other repairs required to be made to the leased property, including improvement and repair costs arising as a result of ordinary wear and tear. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $95 and $101, respectively, of costs (net of expected recovery of 80% of the total cost through the applicable indemnity discussed further below and in Note 3. Acquisitions) in Cost of Parking Services-Leases within the Consolidated Statements of Income for structural and other repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger, whereby the Company has expensed repair costs for certain leases and have engaged a third-party general contractor to complete certain structural and other repair projects. The Company expects to incur substantial additional costs for certain structural and other repair costs pursuant to the contractual requirements of certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger (“Structural and Repair Costs”). Based on information available at this time, the Company currently expects the additional Structural and Repair Costs to be between $7,000 and $22,000; however, the Company continues to assess and determine the full extent of the required repairs and estimated costs associated with the lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger. The Company currently expects to recover 80% of the Structural and Repair Costs incurred prior to October 2, 2015 through the applicable indemnity discussed further in Note 3. Acquisitions. 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 prior to October 2, 2015.

3. Acquisition

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 (the “Cash Consideration”) in an amount equal to the sum of $27,000 plus, if and to the extent the Net Debt Working Capital (as defined below) was less than $275,000 (the “Lower Threshold”) as of September 30, 2012, the amount by which the Net Debt Working Capital was below such amount (such sum, the “Cash Consideration Amount”) 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”).

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 (including with respect to Structural and Repair Costs). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Central’s former stockholders are required to satisfy certain indemnity obligations, which are capped at the Cash Consideration Amount (the “Capped Items”) only through a reduction of the Cash Consideration. For certain other indemnity obligations set forth in the Merger Agreement which are not capped at the Cash Consideration Amount (the “Uncapped Items”), including the Net Debt Working Capital indemnity obligations described above, Central’s former stockholders may satisfy any amount payable pursuant to such indemnity obligations as follows (provided that the Company reserves the right to reject the cash and stock alternatives and choose to reduce the Cash Consideration):

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

·      Central’s former stockholders can elect to pay such 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 such 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 $296,153 as of September 30, 2012 and that, accordingly, the Net Debt Working Capital exceeded the threshold by $11,153, herein recognized  as a reduction of the Cash Consideration.  The Company has made additional Net Debt Working Capital claims to the Selling Stockholders in aggregate of $1,600 which the Company has not recognized as a reduction of the Cash Consideration, as these additional Net Debt Working Capital claims are contingent in nature. In addition, the Company has determined that it currently has indemnity claims for certain defined adverse consequences (including indemnity claims with respect to Structural and Repair Costs incurred through March 31, 2015), which would reduce the cash consideration payable in three years from the acquisition date by $14,925. 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 using cash or stock as 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 raise issues with respect to the Company’s indemnification claims (including, specifically, as to Structural and Repair Costs) and that they may assert various claims of their own relating to the Merger Agreement. On April 30, 2015, with respect to the Company’s Net Debt Working Capital calculation, the representative of Central’s former stockholders submitted specific objections to such calculation, asserting that the Net Debt Working Capital as of September 30, 2012 was $270,757 ($4,242 below the Lower Threshold).  The Company continues to review and evaluate the Selling Stockholders specific objections to the Company’s calculation of Net Debt Working Capital, but currently believes that these indemnification claims should sustain challenge from the former Central stockholders and that recoverability of these indemnification claims by the Company is reasonably assured.  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 and the representative of Central’s former stockholders are currently pursuing the dispute resolution process for Net Debt Working Capital, as discussed above, although the Company’s pursuit of this process and the process available for other post-closing claims and disputes, including as to indemnification matters, may be delayed by actions taken by representatives of Central’s former stockholders.  Should the dispute resolution process result in determinations unfavorable to the Company (either as to the Net Debt Working Capital calculation and/or other indemnification matters), the resulting resolution may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In determining the indemnity claims for certain defined adverse consequences of $14,925, 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 and recoverability of these indemnified claims is reasonably assured. As previously discussed in Note 2. Commitment and Contingencies, certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger include provisions allocating to the Company responsibility for all or a defined portion of the costs of certain structural and other repair costs required on the property, including improvement and repair costs arising as a result of ordinary wear and tear. As the Company incurs additional Structural and Repair Costs, that meet the requirements of the indemnification provisions established in the Merger Agreement (including as to being incurred prior to October 2, 2015), the Company will seek indemnification for a significant portion  (generally 80%) of these costs pursuant to the Merger Agreement and reduce the cash consideration payable in three years from the acquisition date by such amounts.

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

The Central Merger 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.

The Company incurred certain acquisition and integration costs associated with the transaction that were expensed as incurred and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized $1,498 and $1,505 of these costs in its Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, in General and Administrative expenses.

4. Intangible Assets, net

The following presents a summary of intangible assets, net:

(1)             Excludes the original cost and accumulated amortization on fully amortized intangible assets.

(2)             Intangible assets have estimated useful lives between one and 19 years.

5. Goodwill

The amounts for goodwill and changes to carrying value by operating segment are as follows (unaudited):

(1)       Due to the new segment reporting effective as of January 1, 2015, goodwill allocated to previous reporting units of Region One, Region Two, Region Three and Region Five have been reallocated to new reporting units on a retrospective basis for all periods presented.

The Company tests goodwill at least annually for impairment (the Company has elected to annually test for potential impairment of goodwill on the first day of the fourth quarter) and tests more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist.  The indicators include, among others, declines in sales, earning or cash flows or the development of a material adverse change in business climate.  The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a reporting unit.

Due to a change in the Company’s segment reporting effective January 1, 2015, the goodwill allocated to previous reporting units have been reallocated to new reporting units based on the relative fair value of the new reporting units.  See also Note 13. Business Unit Segment Information for further disclosure on the Company’s change in reporting segments effective January 1, 2015.

As a result of the change in internal reporting segments information, the Company completed a quantitative test (Step One) of goodwill impairment as of January 1, 2015 and concluded that the estimated fair values of each of the Company’s reporting units exceeded its carrying amount of net assets assigned to that reporting unit and therefore no further testing was required (Step Two). In conducting the January 1, 2015 goodwill impairment quantitative test (Step One), the Company analyzed actual and projected growth trends of the reporting units, gross margin, operating expenses and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) (which also includes forecasted five-year income statement and working capital projection, a market – based weighted average cost of capital and terminal values after five years).  The Company also assesses critical areas that may impact its business including economic conditions, market related exposures, competition,

Table of Contents

changes in product offerings and changes in key personnel.  As part of the January 1, 2015 goodwill assessment, the Company engaged a third-party to evaluate its reporting unit’s fair values.

The reporting units are internally reported as Region One (North), Region Two (South), Region Three (New York Metropolitan tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut), Region Four (Airport transportation operations nationwide), Region Five (other reporting units of USA Parking and event planning and transportation services). For purposes of reportable segments, the goodwill in Region Five is attributable to USA Parking and event planning and transportation services reporting units.

6. 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 following sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the basis of measurement at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Interest Rate Swap

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 Statements of Income 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

12

Table of Contents

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 Statements of Income 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 three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Contingent Acquisition Consideration

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 12% to 50%, with a weighted average discount rate of 12%.

The following 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):

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized an expense of $34 and $166, respectively, in General and Administrative Expenses within the Consolidated Statements 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 this business.

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 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 three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

The following presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments not measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

13

Table of Contents

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.

7. Borrowing Arrangements

Long-term borrowings, in order of preference, consist of:

(1)             Credit Agreement was due to mature on October 2, 2017.

(2)             Restated Credit Agreement matures on February 20, 2020.

Senior Credit Facility

On October 2, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “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.

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

The Credit Agreement required the Company 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 March 2014, the Company made a mandatory principal repayment of $7,940, as provided under the Credit Agreement.

Amended and Restated Credit Facility

On February 20, 2015 (Amended and Restatement Date), the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as administrative agent, an issuing lender and swing-line lender; Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as an issuing lender and syndication agent; U.S. Bank National Association, First Hawaiian Bank and BMO Harris Bank N.A., as co-documentation agents; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers; and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”). The Restated Credit Facility reflects modifications to, and an extension of, the existing Credit Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Restated Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to the Company a senior secured credit facility (the “Restated Senior Credit Facility”) that permits aggregate borrowings of $400,000 consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200,000 at any time outstanding, which includes a $100,000 sublimit for letters of credit and a $20,000 sublimit for swing-line loans, and (ii) a term loan facility of $200,000 (reduced from $250,000). The Company may request increases of the revolving credit facility in an aggregate additional principal amount of $100,000. The Restated Senior Credit Facility matures on February 20, 2020.

The entire amount of the term loan portion of the Restated Senior Credit Facility had been drawn by the Company as of the Amended and Restatement Date (including approximately $10,400 drawn on such date) and is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization of principal as follows: (i) $15,000 in the first year, (ii) $15,000 in the second year, (iii) $20,000 in the third year, (iv) $20,000 in the fourth year, (v) $20,000 in the fifth year and (vi) $110,000 in the sixth year. The Company also had outstanding borrowings of $147,299 (including $53,449 in letters of credit) under the revolving credit facility as of the Amended and Restatement Date.

Borrowings under the Restated Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, (i) at a rate per annum based on the Company’s 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 pricing levels set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement (the “ Applicable Margin”), plus LIBOR or (ii) the Applicable Margin plus the highest of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (y) the Bank of America prime rate and (z) a daily rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.0% (the highest of (x), (y) and (z), the “Base Rate”), except that all swing-line loans will bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Under the terms of the Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending during the period from the Amended and Restatement Date through September 30, 2015, (ii) 3.75 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending during the period from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016, and (iii) 3.5 to 1.0 as of the end of any fiscal quarter ending thereafter. In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:25:1.0.

Events of default under the Restated 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 the 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 Restated Credit Agreement have the right, among others, to (i) terminate the commitments under the Restated Credit Agreement, (ii) accelerate and require the Company to repay all the outstanding amounts owed under the Restated Credit Agreement and (iii) require the Company to cash collateralize any outstanding letters of credit.

Each wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Restated Credit Agreement) has guaranteed all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of the other guarantors and the Company arising under the Restated Credit Agreement. The Company’s obligations under the Restated Credit Agreement and such domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty obligations are secured by substantially all of their respective assets.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $75,701 of borrowing availability under the Restated Credit Agreement, of which the Company could have borrowed $75,701 on March 31, 2015 and remained in compliance with the above described covenants as of such date. The additional borrowing availability under the Restated Credit Agreement is limited only as of the Company’s fiscal quarter-ends by the covenant restrictions described above. At March 31, 2015, the Company had $53,449 of letters of credit outstanding under the Restated Senior Credit Facility, with aggregate borrowings against the Restated Senior Credit Facility of $267,100 (excluding original discount on borrowings of $2,173).

In connection with and effective upon the execution and delivery of the Restated Credit Agreement on February 20, 2015, the Company recorded losses on extinguishment of debt, relating to debt discount and debt issuance costs, of $634.

Interest Rate Swap Transactions

In October 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 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 March 31, 2015, no ineffectiveness of the hedge has been recognized in interest expense. See Note 5. Fair Value Measurement for the fair value of the interest rate swap as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

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

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, 2015 and 2014 is $11,042 and was $10,815, 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 March 31, 2015 (unaudited) are as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company received deficiency repayments (net of payments made) of $5, received and recorded interest of $43 and premium of $8, with the net of these amounts recorded as a reduction in Cost of Parking Services within the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received deficiency repayments (net of payments made) of $92 and received and recorded premium of $14, with the net of these amounts recorded as reduction in Cost of Parking Services within the Consolidated Statements 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, as the Company concluded that the potential for future deficiency payments did not meet the criteria of both probable and estimable.

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 $14,983 and $14,733 have not been recognized as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and no management fees were recognized as revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock Options and Grants

There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company recognized no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, as all stock options previously granted were fully vested. As of March 31, 2015, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options.

Restricted Stock Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company authorized certain one-time grants of 3,963 restricted stock units to an executive that vest five years from date of issuance. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, no restricted stock units vested. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, no restricted stock units were forfeited under the amended and restated Long-Term Incentive Plan.

The Company recognized $403 and $796 of stock-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock units for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which is included in General and Administrative Expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2015, there was $4,115 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 4.2 years.

Performance Based Stock

In September 2014, the Board of Directors authorized a performance-based incentive program under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2014 Performance-Based Incentive Program”). The objective of the performance-based incentive program is to link compensation to business performance, encourage ownership of Company stock, retain executive talent, and reward executive performance. The 2014 Performance-Based Incentive Program provides participating executives with the opportunity to earn vested common stock if certain performance targets for pre-tax free cash flow are achieved over the cumulative three year period of 2014 through 2016 and recipients satisfy service-based vesting requirements. The stock-based compensation expense associated with unvested performance-based incentives are recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the vesting period or minimum service period and dependent upon the probable outcome of the number of shares that will ultimately be issued based on the achievement of pre-tax free cash flow over the cumulative three year period of 2014 through 2016.

The Company recognized $162 of stock-based compensation expense related to the 2014 Performance-Based Incentive Program for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and is included in General and Administrative Expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, no performance-based shares were forfeited. There was no such program in place during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Future compensation expense for currently outstanding awards under the 2014 Performance Based Incentive Program could reach a maximum of $2,870. Stock-based compensation for the 2014 Performance-Based Incentive Program is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

10. Net Income 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):

17

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 performance-based restricted stock was excluded in the computation of weighted average diluted common share outstanding because the number of shares ultimately issuable is contingent upon the Company’s attainment of performance goals for the period beginning January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2016. There was no performance-based incentive program in place during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

There are no additional securities that could dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, other than those disclosed.

11. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of the following components, net of tax (unaudited):

Accumulated other comprehensive income is comprised of unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges and foreign currency translation adjustments. The components of changes in accumulated comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were as follows (unaudited):

12. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized income tax expense of $1,335 on pre-tax earnings of $3,129 compared to a tax benefit of $7,438 on pre-tax losses of $2,648 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 42.7%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was a benefit of 280.9%, 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 State of New York tax law changes effective March 31, 2014, which resulted in the Company determining that the future benefit of the net operating loss carryforwards were more likely than not to be realized.

As of March 31, 2015, 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.

The tax years that remain subject to examination for the Company’s major tax jurisdictions at March 31, 2015 are shown below:

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 discrete 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 six operating segments. The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and gross profit as its primary measure of performance, 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.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company began certain organizational and executive leadership changes to align with how the CODM reviews performance and makes decisions in managing the Company and therefore, changed internal operating segment information reported to the CODM. The operating segments are internally reported as Region One (North), Region Two (South), Region Three (New York Metropolitan tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut), Region Four (Airport transportation operations nationwide, Region Five (other operating segments of USA Parking and event planning and transportation services). All prior periods presented have been restated to reflect the new internal reporting to the CODM.

Region One encompasses operations in Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Northern California, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and four Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.

Region Two encompasses operations in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Southern California, Tennessee, Texas Utah and Puerto Rico.

Region Three encompasses operations in the New York metropolitan tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Region Four encompasses all major airport and transportation operations nationwide.

Region Five encompasses other operating segments including USA Parking and event planning and transportation services.

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