Standard Parking Corporation Reports Strong 2011 Results
4Q11 and Full Year 2011 Adjusted EPS Increased 10% and 16% Respectively
CHICAGO, March 7, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Standard Parking Corporation (Nasdaq:STAN), one of the nation’s leading providers of outsourced parking management, ground transportation and related services, today announced fourth quarter and full year 2011 results.
The quarter’s reported earnings per share was $0.23, which included $0.09 per share for merger and acquisition related costs incurred during the quarter relating to the Company’s proposed merger with Central Parking. Without these costs, the 2011 fourth quarter adjusted EPS would have been $0.32, a 10% increase over the fourth quarter of 2010. On a full-year basis, reported 2011 EPS was $1.12, a 6% increase over 2010 EPS of $1.06. The full-year 2011 results include $0.11 per share of costs related to the merger agreement with Central Parking as well as to another transaction contemplated earlier in 2011. Without these costs, the full-year 2011 adjusted EPS would have been $1.23, a 16% increase over full-year 2010. Free cash flow for the year was $28.9 million, well in excess of the previously announced guidance.
Comments
James A. Wilhelm, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “2011 was a watershed year for our Company, as we pursued significant merger and acquisition related activity and continued to successfully execute against our underlying business plan. Gross profit for 2011 increased 2% year-over-year. Although this increase was slightly lower than we typically have experienced, 2011 results reflect the fact that some large 2010 events didn’t recur in 2011, as well as the effect of some contract re-trades that occurred during the year.
“On a same location basis, gross profit was up 4% year-over-year, and paid exits at same leased locations were up 6% year-over-year. We continue to maintain tight control over G&A, which decreased 6% year-over-year excluding the merger and acquisition-related activity.
“During 2011, we completed a lot of hard work that sets the stage for 2012 to be an evolutionary year for our Company. As mentioned in our recent announcement, we anticipate closing our merger with Central Parking in the third quarter of 2012. The transaction will double our Company’s size, adding more than 2,200 locations and approximately 1 million parking spaces across the U.S. We believe this transformational deal will be a catalyst for accelerated growth and that it presents a distinct value proposition for all stakeholder groups.”
Recent Developments
Recent highlights include:
| • | The Company announced the signing of an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Central Parking Corporation. The Company believes the merger will create the preferred provider of outsourced parking facility management, maintenance, transportation and security services to institutional, municipal and commercial clients. The Company expects to generate annual cost synergies in excess of $20 million based on steps taken during the first two years after closing. |
| • | SP Plus® Municipal Services was awarded a five-year contract to manage the City of Richmond’s municipal parking program, which includes the management of 16 off-street parking facilities as well as on-street parking enforcement, meter collections and meter repair services. |
| • | SP Plus® Transportation was awarded the contract to provide commuter shuttle bus services for The John Hancock Center in Chicago. The shuttle service transports people from the John Hancock Center and neighboring buildings to and from three downtown commuter rail stations. |
| • | Other notable new business, as previously announced, includes: |
| • | The award of a three-year contract to manage and operate the ground transportation system at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. Services are expected to commence in May 2012. |
| • | The award of a parking management contract at Memphis International Airport, an operation encompassing over 7,000 public and employee parking spaces. |
| • | The City of Lawrence, Massachusetts award to the Company’s SP Plus® Municipal Services which entails on-street enforcement, monetary collection and meter repair services for meters covering over 1,000 parking spaces. |
For the full year 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 461,500 shares of its common stock for $7.5 million. $12.5 million remains available under the Board’s current repurchase authorization.
Fourth Quarter Results
Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2011 decreased by 2% to $22.2 million from $22.6 million for the same period of 2010. Contributing factors were static performance at same locations resulting from the renegotiation of certain contracts, and the effect of certain anticipated location terminations.
G&A expense in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased 9% to $13.7 million from $12.6 million in the 2010 fourth quarter, but would have decreased 9%, to $11.4 million, excluding merger-related costs incurred in the 2011 fourth quarter.
Net income attributable to the Company for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $3.6 million or $0.23 per share, as compared with $4.7 million, or $0.29 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2010. The fourth quarter 2011 results reflect a $0.09 per share impact of merger-related costs pertaining to the anticipated Central Parking merger.
2012 Outlook
Given, among other things, the uncertainty as to the timing of the closing of the Central Parking merger, the Company’s 2012 guidance excludes the merger’s potential impact. Specific exclusions include costs being incurred during 2012 related to integration planning and activities relating to consummating the transaction, as well as any post-merger revenue and costs.
2012 earnings per share, excluding any merger related revenues and expenses, are expected to be in the range of $1.25 to $1.35, an increase of up to 10% over 2011 adjusted earnings per share of $1.23, excluding transaction related expenses.
The Company continues to expect to generate free cash flow of between $20-$25 million in 2012, excluding any merger-related revenues or expenses.
This guidance assumes approximately 15.8 million diluted shares outstanding.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This release and the attached tables contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the statements under the caption “2012 Outlook” and statements regarding expected cost synergies and other anticipated benefits of the proposed merger of the Company and Central, the expected timing of completion of the merger and other expectations, beliefs, plans, intentions and strategies of the Company. The Company has tried to identify these statements by using words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project” and “will” and similar terms and phrases, but such words, terms and phrases are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to operations and the business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond management’s control. Actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, the following: the risk that the proposed business combination transaction between the Company and Central is not completed on a timely basis or at all; the ability to integrate Central into the business of the Company successfully and the amount of time and expense spent and incurred in connection with the integration; the risk that the economic benefits, cost savings and other synergies that the Company anticipates as a result of the transaction are not fully realized or take longer to realize than expected; the risk that the Company or Central may be unable to obtain antitrust or other regulatory clearance required for the transaction, or that required antitrust or other regulatory clearance may delay the transaction or result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the operations of the combined company or cause the parties to abandon the transaction; intense competition; the loss, or renewal on less favorable terms, of management contracts and leases; adverse litigation judgments or settlements; the loss of key employees; changes in general economic and business conditions or demographic trends; the impact of public and private regulations; the financial difficulties or bankruptcy of the Company’s major clients; insurance losses that are worse than expected or adverse events not covered by insurance; labor disputes; extraordinary events affecting parking at facilities that we manage, including emergency safety measures, military or terrorist attacks, cyber terrorism and natural disasters; state and municipal government clients that sell or enter into long-term leases
of parking-related assets; uncertainty in the credit markets; availability, terms and deployment of capital; and the Company’s ability to obtain performance bonds on acceptable terms.
For a detailed discussion of factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results, please see the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the disclosures under “Risk Factors” in those filings. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changed circumstances, future events or for any other reason.
Additional Information
The shares of Standard’s common stock to be issued as consideration under the merger agreement between Standard and Central will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, and, unless so registered, such shares may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to buy or sell securities, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
Standard intends to file with the SEC a proxy statement and other relevant materials in connection with the proposed business combination transaction between Standard and Central. Before making any voting decision with respect to the proposed transaction, Standard stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement when it becomes available, and as it may be amended from time to time, because it will contain important information regarding the proposed transaction. Standard’s stockholders may obtain a free copy of the proxy statement and other relevant materials, when available, and other documents filed by Standard with the SEC at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. In addition, copies of the proxy statement, when available, will be provided free of charge by Standard to all of its stockholders. Additional requests for proxy statements and other relevant materials should be directed to Standard Parking, Investor Relations, 900 N. Michigan Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60611 or by email at investor_relations@standardparking.com.
Standard and Central and their respective executive officers and directors may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from Standard’s stockholders with respect to the proposed transaction. Any interests of the executive officers and directors of Standard and Central in the proposed transaction will be described in the proxy statement, when it becomes available. For additional information about Standard’s executive officers and directors, see Standard’s proxy statement filed with the SEC on March 28, 2011.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company defines free cash flow as net cash from operating activities, less cash used for investing activities (exclusive of acquisitions), plus the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents. Due to the adoption, effective January 1, 2009, of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation (formerly FAS 160), the Company’s calculation of free cash flow has been modified to deduct for the distribution to noncontrolling interest, which was previously reported as part of net cash from operating activities. The Company believes that the presentation of free cash flow provides useful information regarding its recurring cash provided by operating activities after certain expenditures. It also demonstrates the Company’s ability to execute its financial strategy. The Company’s presentation of free cash flow has material limitations. The Company’s free cash flow does not represent its cash flow available for discretionary expenditures because it excludes certain expenditures that are required or to which the Company has committed, such as debt service requirements. The Company’s definition of free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
In addition, in this press release, the company has presented non-GAAP measures of its general and administrative expenses, net income and earnings per share for the fourth quarter of 2011 and the full year 2011, each adjusted to exclude expenses incurred with respect to the Central Parking merger as well as a large acquisition that was contemplated earlier in 2011. As the company does not routinely engage in transactions of the magnitude of the Central merger transaction or the earlier contemplated transaction, and consequently does not regularly incur transaction related expenses with correlative size, the Company believes presenting G&A, net income and EPS excluding merger and acquisition related expenses provides investors with additional measures of the company’s underlying operating performance. General and administrative expenses excluding merger and acquisition related expenses (also referred to as adjusted G&A), net income excluding merger and acquisition related expenses (also referred to as adjusted net income) and EPS excluding merger and acquisition related expenses (also referred to as adjusted EPS) should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful indicators of, the company’s operating performance than G&A, net income attributable to the Company or EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the Company’s adjusted G&A, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of another company.
