Expects Strong 2008
CHICAGO, March 12, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Standard Parking Corporation (Nasdaq:STAN), one of the nation's largest providers of parking management services, today announced that pre-tax income for the fourth quarter of 2007 increased 28% to $7.8 million, or $0.41 per share, as compared with $6.1 million, or $0.30 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2006. For the full year, pre-tax income increased 37% to $28.6 million, or $1.48 per share, in 2007 as compared with $20.9 million, or $1.02 per share, in 2006.

Commentary
James A. Wilhelm, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We had another outstanding year in 2007. Consistent with our message regarding diversification, our results were driven by strong performance across the board. All vertical markets, from institutional to office to airport to commercial to residential, are contributing to our positive business results.
"We completed four acquisitions during the year and one more in January 2008, which have enabled us to leverage our infrastructure in Chicago, Los Angeles and Honolulu. Based on the 2008 budgets developed for the acquired companies, we are on track to realize a purchase multiple in our desired range of 4 to 6 times EBITDA, and expect these acquisitions to be accretive to earnings in 2008.
"Our location retention statistic, which had dipped slightly during the earlier part of the year, recovered to 91% for the twelve months ending December 31, 2007, which is comparable to 2006. We also grew gross profit at same locations and added new contracts throughout all areas of the business.
"We continue to see the benefits of our risk management focus on preventing and managing the costs of claims. Consequently, the 2007 results were bolstered by a $2.8 million favorable change in insurance loss experience reserve estimates related to prior years.
"Over the last several quarters, we have talked about certain IT initiatives that will help us improve back-office efficiency and move us closer to our goal of driving general and administrative expenses as a percent of gross profit to a ratio at or below 50%. We are now poised to roll-out three of these applications in multiple phases throughout 2008 and 2009, which will enhance our ability to manage billing of monthly parkers, scheduling and timekeeping of our workforce of over 12,000 people, and our processing for purchasing and accounts payable. We expect to realize cost efficiencies from these new technology solutions starting in 2009 as we complete the roll-out.
"Finally, I am delighted to announce that our Board has approved a grant of 750,000 restricted stock units for senior management. This is a twelve year plan that will vest ratably over years ten, eleven and twelve. This additional investment in our management team will promote long-term retention and further align its interests with those of our shareholders."
Fourth Quarter Operating Results
Revenue for the fourth quarter, excluding reimbursed management contract expense, increased by 10%, to $72.2 million from $65.7 million in the year ago period, due primarily to a 24% growth in management contract revenue.
Gross profit in the quarter increased by 19% to $22.7 million from $19.1 million a year ago. The fourth quarter of 2007 benefited from a $0.9 million favorable change in insurance loss experience reserve estimates relating to prior years. In the fourth quarter of 2006 there was no significant change in prior year loss reserve estimates. The change in the loss experience accounted for 5% of the 19% increase in gross profit over the same period in 2006.
General and administrative ("G&A") expenses increased by 17% to $11.8 million from $10.1 million in the year earlier quarter. While general and administrative expenses on a quarterly basis were relatively consistent throughout the first three quarters of 2007, the fourth quarter was higher due to general and administrative expenses from acquired businesses as well as higher professional fees. Resulting operating income for the fourth quarter of 2007 increased by 23% to $9.5 million from $7.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The Company generated $9.7 million of free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2007 as compared to $6.3 million in the year ago period. The significant fourth quarter growth in free cash flow was driven in part by certain working capital movements that generated $3.0 million in free cash flow and which are expected to reverse themselves over the course of the next several months. Free cash flow in the fourth quarter of 2007 was used to repurchase $7.1 million of common stock, make payments of $0.4 million related to acquisitions and repay debt of $0.6 million. Net interest expense for the fourth quarter remained flat at $1.6 million year to year as the decrease in interest rates was offset by an increase in average borrowings under the senior credit agreement to fund the acquisitions.
Pre-tax income increased to $7.8 million, or $0.41 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2007 from $6.1 million, or $0.30 per share, in the prior year fourth quarter, an increase of 37% on a per-share basis.
Earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $0.27 as compared with $1.14 in the 2006 fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2006, however, the Company had recognized a net $17.8 million income tax benefit, equivalent to $0.88 per share, due to a net reduction in its valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Excluding the $0.88 per share income tax benefit, earnings per share for the 2006 fourth quarter reflects an implied effective tax rate of 14%, while the 2007 fourth quarter was based on an effective tax rate of 35%. Cash taxes were under 5% in 2006 and 2007. The actual effective tax rate in the fourth quarter of 2007 was lower than the 39% full year 2007 effective tax rate due to the utilization of tax credits.
Recent Developments
New agreements in the 2007 fourth quarter include:
-- Parking operations at Yankee Stadium in New York City. The Company was awarded a multi-year contract to provide parking management, valet and special-event services at ten existing parking facilities as well as three additional garages expected to be built by 2010. -- Expansion of the Company's relationship with the New Jersey Transit Authority to manage parking at four additional transit facilities as well as provide enforcement services at another four commuter parking facilities. -- A contract award from Alatus Partners to manage and staff Alatus' parking operation in Minneapolis. The total parking operation is comprised of over 4,300 spaces in four garages and two surface lots. -- Expansion of the Company's relationship with General Growth Properties with the award of a contract to manage the parking operation at the Gallery at Harborplace in the heart of Baltimore's Inner Harbor.
Full Year 2007 Results
2007 revenue, excluding reimbursed management contract expense, increased 3% to $267.5 million from $259.9 million in 2006.
Gross profit in 2007 grew by 13% to $85.7 million from $75.9 million in the year earlier period. Contributing to the increase was a $0.6 million gain related to the sale of a contract right in 2007 as well as the positive impact of a $2.8 million favorable change in insurance loss experience reserve estimates relating to prior years that was recognized during 2007 versus a $0.4 million unfavorable change in insurance loss experience reserves relating to prior years recognized in 2006.
General and administrative expenses for the year increased 9% to $44.8 million from $41.2 million in 2006. Nevertheless, general and administrative expenses as a percent of gross profit decreased to 52.3% in 2007 from 54.4% a year ago.
Depreciation and amortization expense in 2007 was $5.3 million, $0.3 million less than 2006 as the amortization of acquired contracts was more than offset by a reduction in depreciation expense as more assets became fully depreciated. Operating income grew 23% to $35.5 million in 2007 from $29.0 million in 2006.
Total debt at the end of 2007 was $80.4 million, a decrease of $5.3 million during the year. Net interest expense decreased $1.3 million from 2006 to 2007 due primarily to lower applicable interest rates under a new Senior Credit Agreement and the repayment of the 9.25% Senior Subordinated Notes in July 2006. Consequently, pre-tax income increased 37% to $28.6 million or $1.48 per share in 2007, from $20.9 million or $1.02 per share in 2006, an increase of 45% on a per-share basis.
Earnings per share for the full year 2007 was $0.90 as compared with $1.75 for 2006. This 2007 result exceeds the Company's original guidance of $0.70 - $0.75 by over 20%. In 2006, the Company recognized a net $17.8 million income tax benefit, equivalent to $0.87 per share, by reason of a net reduction in its valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Excluding this $0.87 per share income tax benefit, the $1.75 earnings per share for 2006 reflects an implied effective tax rate of 14%, while the 2007 full year was based on an effective tax rate of 39%. Cash taxes were under 5% in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, the Company expects its effective tax rate to be approximately 41% as compared with 39% in 2007.
Free cash flow of $32.1 million was generated in 2007, an increase of $5.5 million over 2006. Free cash flow generated in 2007 was used to fund acquisitions, repurchase common stock and repay debt. As of December 31, 2007, the Company expended $22.1 million of a total $45 million ongoing authorization on its stock repurchase program. Free cash flow per share was $1.66 in 2007 as compared with $1.30 in 2006, an increase of 28%.
Financial Outlook
2008 earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $0.90 - $0.95, an increase of up to 6% over 2007. Significant fluctuations in the Company's effective tax rate, as well as several atypically large items, have impacted reported earnings per share over the past three years, some of which are expected to continue to affect 2008 earnings per share. The accompanying Appendix illustrates pro forma adjustments to earnings per share in order to give investors a better understanding of how the majority shareholder and Board of Directors view the Company's financial performance over this time period. On a pro forma basis, 2008 earnings per share is $1.04, a 25% increase over pro forma 2007 earnings per share of $0.83.
These guidance estimates assume 18.6 million weighted average diluted shares and do not include the impact of any new mergers or acquisitions that may be completed in the remainder of 2008. Also excluded from the guidance range are any insurance proceeds that may be received in 2008 related to the Company's claim for business interruption losses resulting from Hurricane Katrina.
Due to its expected strong growth and limitations on the use of NOLs in any one year, the Company expects its 2008 cash tax rate to be approximately 16% as compared with 4% in 2007, resulting in an expected increase in cash taxes of $3.5 million. Additionally, certain working capital movements that generated $3.0 million in free cash flow in 2007 are expected to reverse in 2008. As a result, free cash flow is expected to be in the range of $27 million to $30 million this year. The Company's priorities for the use of free cash flow remain:
-- Fund growth opportunities, including acquisitions -- Return value to shareholders -- Maintain appropriate debt levels
