STANDARD PARKING CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
FIRST QUARTER 2003 RESULTS
CHICAGO, May 14, 2003 - Standard Parking Corporation, one of the nation’s largest operators of paid parking facilities, today announced first quarter 2003 operating results.
Gross profit was $14.1 million for the quarter, an increase of 11.0% as compared to the first quarter of 2002. General and administrative expenses were $8.1 million for the quarter, an increase of 5.1% as compared to the first quarter of 2002. Operating income was $3.3 million for the first quarter of 2003 as compared to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2002, an increase of 24.2%.
“We were generally pleased with the year-over-year first quarter operating income results and with the company’s ability to introduce its new corporate identity under the backdrop of continued financial improvement,” said James A. Wilhelm, Standard Parking’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our formal name change to Standard Parking Corporation marks the successful integration of eight terrific parking companies. Although some of our airport locations are still struggling with the effects of lower traffic, we are hopeful that an improvement in the domestic economy and the resolution of the Iraqi conflict will lead to increased U.S. enplanement figures,” Mr. Wilhelm concluded.
Standard Parking Corporation, with approximately 11,900 employees, is one of the largest operators of paid parking facilities in North America, managing over 1,900 airport and urban parking facilities in 273 cities spanning 43 states and four Canadian provinces.
