(JULY 25, 2002) --Central Parking Corporation (NYSE: CPC) today announced earnings for the third fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2002, before property-related activities and nonrecurring items (pro forma) of $11.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared with $11.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the year-earlier period. For comparability purposes, prior year pro forma earnings have been increased by $0.08 per share to reflect the discontinuation of goodwill amortization relating to the Company's October 1, 2001 adoption of SFAS 142. Revenues (excluding reimbursed management costs) for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 increased to $183.0 million compared to $179.1 million in the year-earlier period. During the fiscal third quarter of 2002, the Company became subject to and adopted a new accounting standard (EITF 01-14), which requires the recognition of both revenues and expenses in equal amounts for costs directly reimbursed from its management clients. This accounting change has no impact on operating earnings or net earnings. Historically, expenses directly reimbursed under management agreements have been netted against the reimbursement received. As required by this new accounting standard, these items have been reclassified in all prior periods to conform to the new presentation. For the June quarter of 2002, the impact is an increase of $97.4 million in both revenues and expenses. Additionally, the Company adopted in the fiscal third quarter of 2002 another new accounting standard (SFAS 145), which requires the gains from the repurchase of the trust issued convertible securities to be repositioned in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. These gains are now reported as gains before income taxes whereas previously they were shown as an extraordinary item net of taxes. This change has no impact on net earnings and as required by this new accounting standard, these gains have been reclassified in all prior periods to conform to the new presentation. Reported earnings (GAAP) for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $0.28 per diluted share including a loss of approximately $0.04 per share from property-related losses and a gain of approximately $0.02 per share related to the repurchase of approximately 139,000 shares of trust issued convertible securities. Reported earnings (GAAP) per diluted share were $0.19 in the prior year period. William J. Vareschi, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, said, "Revenues and earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2002 were consistent with our expectations. Despite a difficult economic environment, we are encouraged that this quarter's earnings approached last year's levels and that cash provided by operations significantly exceeded prior year performance. At $183.0 million, revenues were 2% higher than last year. The increase was driven by previously announced acquisitions and a positive new/lost business ratio partially offset by a modest decline in same store sales. The decline in same store sales is principally attributable to lower monthly parking revenues in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle and other areas reflecting higher levels of unemployment. Pricing was essentially flat with prior year levels. Vareschi continued, "Our fourth quarter revenue and earnings projections are based on the assumption that the economic recovery remains somewhat choppy over the next several months. As a result, we expect fourth quarter revenues to be approximately $178 to $182 million (excluding reimbursed management costs) compared to $174 million for the same period last year. This level of revenue should produce fully diluted earnings per share for the quarter of $0.20 to $0.24 per share before property-related activities and nonrecurring items (pro forma) compared to approximately $0.19 per share (pro forma) in the same period last year", said Vareschi. For comparability purposes, earnings for the fourth fiscal quarter of last year have been adjusted upward by approximately $0.08 per share to reflect the discontinuation of goodwill amortization. Vareschi concluded, "We are continuing to gain new business by focusing on the fundamentals embodied within our "Operational Excellence" initiatives. We have established firm expectations for performance internally and believe that we are poised to deliver the kind of performance our clients, employees and shareholders expect."
