Marc Baumann

Association. that know we we acquire eager our talked concept is we parking someone that time is sell business People past never. what explore people opportunistic National and to and about that to now, are be other it’s might in decide, But, think, could later have our be Parking those opportunities that or that be has time with say, and to we’ve I through well, is said, time might companies. the that industry, that relationships might and in are the to my

goal speaking businesses those possible them interest aware of acquisitions are to our us. for with in that us about by my make So, the owners sure is of

any are And similar of we that time, out ancillary facility At or client that services putting along. currently potentially have others do, looking a to we we same those do actively are parking, that to lot other transportation at do, client fillers so might that pursuing base and companies our that maintenance things of whether opportunities those the ground and we it’s to base, spaces. come in other a or we are

the scale ancillary industries and of for that to understand So what’s any dynamics we know and get up on somebody and can look those to potentially going opportunities there service. acquire

lot over more particularly received transportation and contact. sort learned when those It the the is simplifies client that duplicative of can of and we’ve many things. offer of of point years, very than it cost-effective he things all client. because more ground we a them done service parking for generally one life of years positively we’ve One that, our and that’s one have gives don’t management It’s very, many and with

add things already managing expertise the existing And so, that to the the one to out a we is client portfolio to do, locations as and that do services we future, as could we desperate things that the of want people of look base. what that in we we are have draw that, providing company our that to

those that, So spending at too. means we we money, using and things. actively to are a the lot are we very doing outsiders I obviously to And of that us are very, time disclosed think we’ve that that spending we help looking fact some are you

is a what I that you remember think we the Vance have thing that, this. and approach said is to disciplined

result review quite investors delivering the some process, and walk – in important forward buy to because come of everything do right have not we shareholders that is that we real them we actually to requires of if to just to on or for a from we that that money a issues to price, away that going want we we transaction. point going conceptually, companies. but that liked in that we And can’t discipline a – view the to at there things might out are get doesn’t other us go mean at to so, our acquisitions spend we or are that we if everything is value that if look are It’s

Tim Mulrooney

said an program. you this Marc. curious remarks, was just know, us I gears I bit, and was your program. if Thanks, management in about but give okay. pilot revenue prepared apologize could a to And update, your little shifting a hear you Okay, it I

your out You locations. to were scope What few and talk Can the thinking today project about, plans I it the what progress? about think are? is pushing more the of a you

Marc Baumann

management a within think of we activities that I mean, revenue I umbrella there doing. Sure. of are the number are

different of get they activities. from and revenue and different there to effect that are their course there that and which because might to that And for commuters parkers a monthly are they types that day so of the monthly in what are suburbs storing of – is of use and forth. to to are is parkers, time activities, the types paid up One is facility vehicles are that parking customers is paying there data be in and others understand from try people when that and evening there coming parking for

data. build that models we that data. changes at question a So, that the pricing behavior using is, we by trying is to to this some around influence we looking customer long-term And can that And to behavior project. facilities are are answer using

before market. roll it transient doing that to that customers, in are b will e this out There are we many for something could one facility. geographic up We driving have iterations we for people generally

choose We airline, influence lot are our inventory to about people going that of of sell more online over so like have to have parking. planning enable a to that stay who ahead. one points at are or to think, how I is to past focal locations our online, planning a an hotel, trip the the people are a just And we at learned a the online people those reach planning and people ability

is with to And driving them the models facility. than a and bit so little just people are influence the up alternatives easier pricing ability to that the

in what starting are online. expand more to we do So, we

mean I to involve umbrella about past management. I before say, going that I We people, sure for waited people trained the employees in of think kind we other things under people to really those parking talked locations and well management lit, operators and and try well up. the like make clean, the were we a channel running show fact revenue we environment to really just am safe, get us, basically we

channels and think are they on people today, of ahead before and different them planning acquiring leave aggregators be also is of we the the or even being inventory. in who their may well are dash they in valued live to journey. I sell wanting we their smartphone as and to their or marketplace customers world activities lots in location There course, there have out with a

to developed not months expertise clients an to try over out for is that the of revenue optimize otherwise at our a channels are XX inventory, across is or we a we’ve benefit So, maximum location our our management the necessarily location. stretching the if allocation of really it’s the of in business our customer if location, it’s lease past

our other But developments, we We the that one us I doing puts seamlessly. that are manage position focusing in competitors it are fact on are so and that IT doing that doing two more can we more of more are they if all. automate of that in systems that and and or only a think,

So, really our I them gross profit this It's the different also opportunities. optimizing with it’s price, think of allocation in to but partly of profiles is about bring who customers industry. the inventories optimizing future

Good Marc. morning,

Marc Riddick

all potentially mean regional pursuing. or verticals – appreciate curious on whether really markets given on back you not I particular I you whether maybe the to of as be areas was burner? the would I there is you some are that looking that put sort anything or or are deemphasizing think opportunities that the color it’s at

Marc Baumann

our things the then the going nice the good be one pursuing If area, the in that we actively are for people No, that’s are to opportunities on that that be in there of ground we decide because a and our not to us all metropolitan are many city can geographies. really, operating Marc, business, fundamentally we they market. because, in about

And or on wouldn’t vertical don’t vertical it concentrate useful. so, of that we to be tell that sort them, this all

or earlier property I towards is which business, is – our think about will. geared traditional national managers, you our approach, lot account when - a of property owners I that talked large sort of the commercial if that

our for with of get growth, doing us our way in us along put are through the think in account cultivation traditional with of leadership of the commercial I that office to approach this space So our well kind national we national local property the the in cities. – is fundamentally building various people sort

those want talked the those it’s of same with the the language vertical, university are resources. People healthcare that vertical matter whether local people these or of with or municipal other the to on augment subject verticals, is potentially I experts we’ve talk in of additional about, or the the out think, geography the clients. who which street are verticals primarily some came vertical doing we vertical, hospitality

space Some of office space university for the cycles, sales longer than in the a commercial are building. municipal and particularly

because augmenting those in are I – people So, to we ways, focusing. think that requires it’s verticals, – are but many to different pull to it from grow that. back and anything other accomplish in us don’t I trying don’t it’s in order

Marc Riddick

space. more earlier on I that Okay. could with opportunities and growth there benefits the regarding seeing little you a if you had some in sort on give – the some you I are growth there if just the of the are detail more was Was sustainability comments the airport in little might wondering, seeing of of So what any that detail travel. board? see the you regional was place on that connecting here? are of Was growth from particular give of kind that or that a can feature? across take the airport you you it wondering

Marc Baumann

of is clearly, a airports to out regular answer, a sure process already, lot mean, that to they are thing I the so, we our of I that to be not would had there for there operations to think comes coming they be is us would track I it government I something Yes, our acquiring all that and operated am out have a one what won't said of. so, in and size we and airport be from That’s bid aware scale that bid. used aren't that that about

everything part, that, out for to And can bid. the say comes going most that so, I after we are honestly

there while. where few our situation that worth be aren’t exceptions will we’ve a there decided Now to is – that this make it going of dynamics

we So everything. are pursuing

And bidding think, our are We to I of it a then lot lot are comes – when contracts the management contracts. a structures, these everything. on

drive facility leases operate And are for do parking it’s introduce those of other others, growth do and techniques the and so, manage as try newer the And robust therefore, as utilization or automation in an it cost up and us when as we rates to opportunity are space. locations about to doesn’t necessarily we But the can. some of lease, drive to do revenue that help at us a gives us efficiently or introduced to in we apply revenues we adjustments to as management potentially in parking employments talking directly. also operate to these in up demand automation apply make or airport then, look can to techniques

is at online behalf And both so, to management ways those I think, clients to bring the also demand. to looking our parking and be leases channel and goal try on of into our in for to drive

Marc Riddick
