FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STANDARD PARKING CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2003 RESULTS
CHICAGO, April 2, 2004 - Standard Parking Corporation, one of the nation’s largest operators of paid parking facilities, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2003 operating results.
Gross profit was $16.4 million for the fourth quarter and $60.7 million for the full year 2003, an increase of 3.9% and 7.8% as compared to the same periods in 2002. General and administrative expense was $8.3 million for the fourth quarter and $32.7 million for the full year 2003, an increase of 9.8% and 8.5% as compared to the same periods in 2002. Operating income was $2.2 million for the fourth quarter and $13.8 million for the full year 2003, a decrease of 47.4% for the quarter and an increase of 8.3% for the full year as compared to the same periods in 2002. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2003 was impacted by a $2.7 million valuation allowance related to long-term receivables. Without that allowance, operating income would have been $4.8 million for the fourth quarter and $16.5 million for the full year 2003, an increase of 16.2% and 29.0% as compared to the same periods in 2002.
“Our results are indicative of our team’s continuing effort to focus on driving up our company’s operating income via the efficient and professional operation of our existing and newly added locations,” said James A. Wilhelm, Standard Parking’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We have achieved six consecutive quarters of year-over-year gross profit growth and will continue to manage to a business model that maximizes revenues to our clients and parking services to our customers,” Wilhelm concluded.
