SP Plus Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2017 Results

Reports solid overall 2017 results; Expects significant increases in 2018 EPS and Cash Flow

CHICAGO, Feb. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SP Plus Corporation (Nasdaq:SP), a leading national provider of parking, ground transportation and related services to commercial, institutional and municipal clients throughout North America, today announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2017 results.

G Marc Baumann, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am extremely proud of the SP+ team, which made significant progress advancing our key strategies and initiatives in 2017.  We made strong progress toward implementing our vertical market strategy and have invested in additional hospitality, new business development, and revenue management resources to further expand these capabilities.  We also continue to advance our key cost reduction initiatives and safety programs.

“Regarding our fourth quarter 2017 results, as we expected and previously communicated, the year-over-year comparison was a difficult one due to the fact that the fourth quarter of 2016 benefitted from some items that we did not expect to reoccur in 2017.  In addition, fourth quarter 2017 results were weaker than expected due largely to continuing challenges in the New York market and an unanticipated legal settlement.  We continue to address the performance in New York through revenue optimization strategies and aggressive cost reductions.”

Mr. Baumann continued, “Looking forward to 2018 and beyond, we remain focused on executing our growth strategy.  We are very pleased with the early 2018 sale of our joint venture interest in Parkmobile, LLC that generated $19 million in gross proceeds.  In addition to providing significant shareholder returns, the sale allows us to be more nimble in the rapidly evolving digital marketplace.  We also expect to benefit significantly from the recent tax reforms, with a favorable boost in both our EPS and cash flows. Finally, with our strong balance sheet and expected strong cash flow generation, we continue to assess opportunities to deploy capital in a disciplined manner to further drive shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

Reported gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2017 was $41.4 million, compared to $47.1 million in the same quarter of 2016, a decrease of $5.7 million or 12%.  Fourth quarter adjusted gross profit was $41.4 million, a decrease of $6.0 million, or 13%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2016.  The decline in adjusted gross profit was due largely to underperformance in the New York market, a smaller reduction in prior-year casualty loss reserve estimates than had occurred in the fourth quarter of 2016, and an unanticipated legal settlement in 2017.

Reported general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the fourth quarter of 2017 were $19.6 million as compared to $23.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, a decrease of $3.4 million or 15%.  Adjusted G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2017 were $19.5 million, flat with the fourth quarter of 2016.  Investments made during 2017 to support growth initiatives were largely offset by lower performance-based compensation and lower long-term incentive plan compensation costs. 

Reported net income attributable to SP Plus was $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 as compared to $9.6 million in the same period of 2016, with the impact of the recent tax reforms reducing fourth quarter 2017 reported net income by $0.8 million.  EBITDA was $21.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to $23.5 million for the same period of 2016.  Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $6.0 million, or 22%, to $21.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, compared to $27.3 million on the same basis for the fourth quarter of 2016, all of the decline being due to lower adjusted gross profit.

Reported earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2017 were $0.35, as compared to $0.43 for the same period of 2016, with $0.04 of the reduction resulting from the recent tax reforms.  Adjusting for the impact of the recent tax reforms and other items, adjusted earnings per share were $0.40 for the fourth quarter of 2017, a decrease of 23%, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.52 for the fourth quarter of 2016.  Lower depreciation and amortization expense and lower interest expense somewhat offset lower adjusted EBITDA and a slightly higher effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2017.

Full-Year Operating Results

Reported gross profit for fiscal 2017 was $185.3 million, compared to $176.4 million for fiscal 2016, an increase of $8.9 million or 5%.  Of that increase, $8.5 million was related to earnings from the Company’s proportionate share of a second quarter 2017 joint venture (equity method investee) transaction.  On an adjusted basis, which excludes the earnings realized from the joint venture transaction as well as other adjustments, fiscal 2017 adjusted gross profit was $176.9 million, a decrease of $0.3 million as compared to the same period of 2016.  The Company experienced significantly lower healthcare claim costs in fiscal 2017 relative to fiscal 2016, but lower gross profit at same locations, due largely to performance issues in the New York market as well as some impact from hurricanes and an unanticipated legal settlement, contributed to the year-over-year decrease in adjusted gross profit.

Reported general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for fiscal 2017 were $82.9 million as compared to $90.0 million for fiscal 2016, a decrease of $7.1 million or 8%.  Adjusted G&A expenses for fiscal 2017 were $81.6 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 2%, from fiscal 2016, which was due largely to decreases in performance-based compensation and long-term incentive plan compensation costs as well as continued cost management discipline.

Reported net income attributable to SP Plus was $41.2 million in fiscal 2017, compared to $23.1 million in fiscal 2016, which reflects both the earnings realized from the Company’s proportionate share of a joint venture transaction as well as the impact of recent tax reforms.  EBITDA was $99.2 million in 2017, compared to $83.6 million in 2016.  Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes earnings realized from a 2017 joint venture transaction, among other adjustments, increased by 1%, or $0.8 million, to $92.1 million in fiscal 2017, compared to $91.3 million in fiscal 2016. 

Reported earnings per share in fiscal 2017 were $1.83, as compared to $1.03 in fiscal 2016.  Earnings realized from the Company’s proportionate share of a joint venture transaction increased reported earnings per share by $0.22, while the impact of the tax reforms reduced reported earnings per share by $0.04 in 2017.  Adjusted earnings per share were $1.70 in fiscal 2017, an increase of 29%, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $1.32 in fiscal 2016.  The largest contributor to the year-over-year growth was significantly lower depreciation and amortization expense, primarily due to certain merger-related intangible assets that have been fully amortized.  Lower interest expense and a lower tax rate also contributed to the year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share.

Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2017 was $45.2 million, a decrease of $14.5 million, as compared to fiscal 2016.  Free cash flow of $39.7 million was generated during fiscal 2017, as compared to $42.4 million generated during fiscal 2016.  Despite a significantly lower level of capital expenditures in 2017, unfavorable movements in working capital, primarily due to the timing of cash collections at or near year-end 2017 and higher past due receivables, negatively impacted 2017 free cash flow.  Some of these impacts were timing-related and are expected to benefit 2018. 

Recent Developments

Notable recent contract wins included several new contracts for SP+ Hospitality, including the Courtyard Marriott Oakland, Four Points by Sheraton Los Angeles International Airport, Park Central Hotel in New York, and Hotel Indigo Kansas City Downtown. 

SP+ Municipal Services opened three additional garages for the Parking Authority of Baltimore City, increasing our total location count with the municipality to five.  SP+ will also be performing maintenance services, including power washing, sweeping and pipe cleaning, at these locations. 

SP+ Municipal Services will provide enforcement services at 84 parking lots owned by the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority as the lots are converted from free to paid parking.

SP+ Parking will manage the parking operations at Marina City, a mixed-use complex in Chicago that consists of two 65-story residential towers, the House of Blues concert venue, the Hotel Chicago, an upscale bowling lounge, and four restaurants.

  • Free cash flow expected to be in the range of $65 to $70 million, a $27.8 million or 70% increase over 2017, at the midpoint

While the Company does not contemplate any significant adjustments at this time other than the net gain on the Parkmobile transaction, additional non-routine items, including, but not limited to, integration and restructuring costs, asset or business sales or dispositions not in the ordinary course of business, acquisitions, and non-routine settlements, will continue to be adjusted from reported results.  2018 guidance assumes approximately 22.6 million fully diluted shares outstanding, an effective book income tax rate of approximately 26%, and an effective cash income tax rate of approximately 17%.

Reimbursed Management Contract Revenue and Reimbursed Management Contract Expense Correction

During 2017, the Company corrected reimbursed management contract revenue and reimbursed management contract expense for the previous periods presented, whereby, the Company had been overstating reimbursed management contract revenue and reimbursed management contract expense included within the Consolidated Statements of Income in equal and off-setting amounts.  As a result, with respect to the income statements attached, the Company has made corrections which have resulted in the following: (i) the Company has made corrections which resulted in a reduction of reimbursed management contract revenue of $47.1 million and a reduction of reimbursed management contract expense of $47.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, and (ii) a reduction of reimbursed management contract revenue of $11.9 million and a reduction of reimbursed management contract expense of $11.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016.  The correction had no impact to the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income or Cash Flows, except as described above and as it relates to reimbursed management contract revenue and reimbursed management contract expense.  Management has evaluated the effects of the previous misstatements, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and concluded that these corrections were immaterial to any current or prior annual periods that were affected.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company considers certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Certain non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted gross profit, adjusted general and administrative expenses (adjusted G&A), adjusted net income attributable to SP Plus (adjusted net income), adjusted net income per share attributable to SP Plus (adjusted EPS), and adjusted EBITDA exclude items that management does not consider indicative of its core performance.  Such adjustments include, among other things: i) restructuring, merger and integration related costs; ii) non-routine structural and other repairs at legacy Central Parking leases; iii) non-routine settlements; iv) the impact of non-routine asset sales or dispositions; v) the net loss or gains and the financial results related to sold businesses; vi) the equity in income or losses from investment in unconsolidated entities; and vii) non-routine tax items, including any further developments related to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.  Pre-tax adjustments are tax affected at a statutory tax rate of 41% for 2016 and 2017 and 26% for 2018 for adjusted net income and adjusted EPS purposes.

The Company defines EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as U.S GAAP net income attributable to the Company before (i) interest expense net of interest income, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gain on sale of a business or contribution of a business to an unconsolidated entity, and (v) equity in the gains or losses from investment in unconsolidated entities.  Adjusted EBITDA excludes items that management does not consider indicative of its core performance, as defined per above. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provide useful information regarding the Company’s operating performance and are useful measures to facilitate comparisons to our historical and future operating results.  The Company's definition of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The Company defines free cash flow as net cash from operating activities, less cash used for investing activities (exclusive of cash used for acquisitions and net after-tax cash proceeds from the sale of businesses or joint venture related assets), less distribution to noncontrolling interest, plus the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes that the presentation of free cash flow provides useful information regarding its ability to generate cash flow from business operations after funding capital expenditures, that can be used to, among other things, repay debt, fund strategic acquisitions, and return value to shareholders.  The Company's definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, to evaluate its operating and financial performance and to compare such performance to that of prior periods and to the performance of its competitors. Additionally, the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making operational and financial decisions and in the Company’s budgeting and planning process. The Company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors helps investors evaluate the Company’s operating performance, profitability and business trends in a way that is consistent with how management evaluates such performance and consistent with guidance previously provided by the Company. Adjusted gross profit, adjusted G&A, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, and free cash flow should not be considered in isolation of, or as alternatives to, or more meaningful indicators of the Company's operating performance or liquidity than, gross profit, G&A, net income, EPS, or net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, the Company's calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

For reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, see the accompanying tables to this release.
