SP Plus Corporation Announces Fourth Quarter and Full-Year

- Strong Fourth Quarter Caps a Year of Substantial Growth
- Sphere™ Technology Solutions Continue to be a Point of Differentiation
- Full-Year 2022 Guidance Indicates Operating Performance Near Pre-Pandemic 2019 Levels

CHICAGO, Feb. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SP Plus Corporation (Nasdaq:SP), a leading provider of technology-driven mobility solutions for aviation, commercial, hospitality and institutional clients throughout North America, today announced its fourth quarter and full-year 2021 results.

Management Commentary

Marc Baumann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Fourth quarter results represented a strong finish to a year of substantial growth for SP+. We continued to gain significant operating leverage from our streamlined cost structure amid improving business conditions and successful business development initiatives. In fact, we exited the year with fourth quarter adjusted EBITDA that was only 2% below pre-pandemic 2019 levels, even as adjusted gross profit for the period, while up considerably year-on-year, was still 9% below fourth quarter 2019. As we have noted previously, while some costs will increase progressively as business activity continues to grow, we believe many of the expense reductions we have put in place are sustainable.

“Our strong fourth quarter and full-year performance was achieved within what remained a period of reduced business activity across most verticals. This supports our confidence that SP+ is emerging from two years of pandemic-related impacts with expanded market leadership and significant opportunities for future growth. Our Commercial segment continues to be a key driver of gross profit growth, benefitting from secular trends in mobility in large metropolitan areas, accelerated adoption of our proprietary Sphere™ technology solutions, and new contract wins. In 2021, we increased our scale and broadened our opportunities to provide additional services to new and existing clients.

“Our Aviation segment showed significant year-on-year growth and strong new business and renewal activity in 2021, but there remains a somewhat longer road back to full recovery due to the pandemic’s significant impact on our travel-related client base. We are addressing this by offering our airport, airline and cruise line clients innovative, technology-driven solutions to improve the traveler experience, reduce congestion and ease friction, while at the same time improving their bottom line. An example is the Curbside Concierge service we launched as a pilot program in May of 2021 at a single airport for one airline client, and which we currently have rolled out at 32 airports for that client. We now look forward to offering our Curbside Concierge service to other major airline clients.

“Even in the most challenging times over the past two years, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to advancing our technology transformation and continued to invest in the development of innovative technology solutions and tools that would give us a competitive advantage. We believe our proprietary suite of Sphere technology solutions has been a key differentiator for SP+ that has facilitated new business wins while also strengthening our position with existing clients.”

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

In the fourth quarter of 2021, GAAP gross profit increased by 54% to $45.5 million from the year ago quarter. Excluding depreciation and amortization and restructuring and other costs, adjusted gross profit totaled $49.3 million, up 42% from $34.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, as business conditions continued to improve.

GAAP general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses amounted to $24.1 million, compared to $23.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding restructuring and other costs, adjusted G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $23.9 million, compared to $22.5 million in the year ago period, mainly reflecting additional support and investments as business activities increased. Despite the year-over-year increase, adjusted G&A in the fourth quarter of 2021 remained 15% below the comparable period of 2019, reflecting a permanent reduction in certain structural costs.

2021 fourth quarter GAAP net income attributable to SP Plus was $8.9 million, or $0.41 per share, a significant improvement compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.02 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding amortization of acquired intangibles and restructuring and other costs, fourth quarter 2021 adjusted earnings per share were $0.51, compared to adjusted net income per share of $0.02 for the fourth quarter of 2020.

Full-Year Operating Results

Full-year 2021 GAAP gross profit was $167.3 million, compared to 2020 GAAP gross profit of $20.2 million that was impacted by $97.1 million in non-cash lease impairment charges related to the write-down of right-of-use operating lease assets. Excluding the impairment charge, depreciation and amortization expense, and restructuring and other costs from both periods, adjusted gross profit increased 44% to $185.5 million from $128.6 million in 2020, as our business continued to recover from the pandemic.

GAAP general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $88.2 million, compared to $85.4 million in 2020. Excluding restructuring and other costs, adjusted G&A expenses in 2021 were $87.0 million, compared to $77.3 million in the year ago period. The year-over-year increase is mainly attributable to the normalization of expenses, including costs related to performance-based compensation programs, as the Company moved closer to pre-pandemic levels of business activity. However, adjusted G&A costs in 2021 still remained 19% below the comparable period of 2019, reflecting lower structural costs.

GAAP net income attributable to SP Plus for full-year 2021 was $31.7 million, or $1.48 per share, which compares favorably to a net loss of $172.8 million, or $8.21 loss per share in 2020 that included $234.0 million in various non-cash lease, intangible and goodwill impairment charges. Excluding non-cash impairment charges, restructuring and other costs, as well as amortization of intangibles and other non-routine items from both periods, full-year 2021 adjusted earnings per share increased to $1.93 from $0.44 per share in 2020.

Full-year 2021 cash flow from operations was $53.4 million and free cash flow was $41.8 million, reflecting an increase of 33% and 46%, respectively, over 2020, with both 2021 measures being reduced by the early payment of deferred 2020 payroll taxes of $15.9 million. An income tax refund of $20 million expected in the fourth quarter of 2021 was not received and is now expected to be received in 2022.

Mr. Baumann concluded, “We are pleased with our strong performance in 2021 and are looking ahead to another year of significant growth in 2022, where we expect to see gross profit and adjusted EBITDA approach or exceed 2019 pre-pandemic levels. Underpinning our guidance for 2022 is our expectation for continued progress in increasing the utilization of our services across key verticals and geographic markets in both our Commercial and Aviation segments.

“Our full-year 2022 gross profit expectation represents year-on-year growth of 18% on GAAP and 13% on adjusted gross profit, at the midpoints. Relative to 2019 pre-pandemic levels, the midpoint of the 2022 adjusted gross profit guidance is back to 92% of 2019. 2022 adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 21% ahead of 2021 and nearly back to pre-pandemic 2019 levels, at the midpoint, reflecting the benefit from increased business activity coupled with a streamlined cost structure. Our outlook for 2022 operating cash flow and free cash flow anticipates the receipt of a $20 million income tax refund that was previously expected in 2021.

“Our Sphere capabilities and solutions remain a key component of our long-term growth strategy. In the periods ahead, we expect to continue to have opportunities to deploy our proprietary technology in new areas that have the potential to expand our addressable market. Our strengthened financial position, market leadership and continued strong free cash flow outlook gives us the flexibility to invest in organic growth opportunities as well as pursue capital allocation strategies that can create additional value for shareholders.”

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 operating income, adjusted net income (loss) attributable to SP Plus (adjusted net income (loss)), adjusted net income (loss) 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 and other costs, including severance costs resulting from COVID-19; (ii) impairment charges; (iii) non-routine settlements; (iv) the amortization of acquired intangible assets; (v) the impact of non-routine asset sales or dispositions; (vi) the net loss or gains and the financial results related to sold businesses; (vii) gain/loss on termination of joint ventures or sale of other investments; (viii) non-routine tax items; and (ix) with respect to adjusted gross profit, depreciation and amortization expense. Pre-tax adjustments are tax affected at a statutory tax rate of 27% for adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted EPS purposes.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to the Company before (i) interest expense net of interest income, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gain on sale of a business or contribution of a business to an unconsolidated entity, (v) gain/loss on termination of joint ventures or sale of other investments, and (vi) other items that management does not consider indicative of its core performance, as defined per above. The Company believes that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides 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 adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) 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 distributions to non-controlling interests, 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 operating income, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EPS, 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 (loss), EPS, or net cash provided by (used in) 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.

The condensed consolidated financial statements presented below reflect a combination of certain line items from our audited consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which is expected to be filed with the SEC by March 1, 2022.
