of on flow impacting at year-over-year should thanks the two So payroll the think reconcile SP Plus as free comparison the XXXX, detail plus there higher you assumption mentioned that Bags the for guess, well the you year-over-year comparisons trying the those guidance we the as adjusted and the performance-based adjusted for together we factors legacy adjusted as look those include EBITDA, items out. all got cash maybe for I EBITDA about the from then I'm guidance. just and timing some compensation. that business add the of EBITDA headwinds called to you

So, any color would on that be helpful?

Vance Johnston

Yes, think Kevin, I couple the -- things. of So

XXXX think Those that you to adjusted impactful. two for mentioned really items I the they're really -- related things are that EBITDA free really not guidance are are impacting guidance. cash flow

means which XXXX that payroll. for fund that XXXX, odd to an the in of on we day payroll have prefunding So happens

the really I mean, the it so it's made million. kind we So I to but SP million cash in, I think But issue that the between out. the guidance an core really that of -- think -- be XXXX us timing $XXX EBITDA acquisition think then obviously a existing -- you've you expense that it's it's of goes that gets right. is kind our and really for differential not when combined and $XXX about to it's -- with -- got if to EBITDA the Bags of Plus way and will key the

little have happening bit is G&A thing in expenses we XXXX. a higher do is that that I one think,

mean, little that of nature I and nature. We further expect because things it we positions did higher to about But one good number some I what investments things of XXXX, a of think, just and bit be of compensation that have and some are we open and take feel you be lot factors it. thing, during know, certainly expect obviously to we but that that would place impacting a

Kevin Steinke

lines? Yes, on the factored any of along market cross-selling out should Are that. or we or about there following those capabilities investments guidance thinking vertical terms up be strategy other in building XXXX significant into the anything

Vance Johnston

I have in prepared Yes, mention we obviously expect million kind we integration-related to We in remarks -- mean, of XXXX. -- in I that we that mentioned G&A, we hit did is that of mention costs did $X not our significant. approximately

will those hit Now our reported numbers.

a will back We for between guidance but in somewhat effectively difference normalized flow, million are levels not guidance, kind And to to adjusting our on but but CapEx, come will EBITDA reported up and -- that up XXXX, out factor be impact cash then it $X range. coming our significant, range our is from kind difference in difference the is will 'XX adjusted not really 'XX, EBITDA which of that guidance slightly in EBITDA that more which XXXX. of big free

Kevin Steinke

I quickly do yet remote length in to follow-up cross-selling selling check-in differ trying is on. to of as might you cross-selling, to or catch those, able little airports -- just and a the hospitality? check-in, get be How sense, bit might of in mechanics how have some the the the or want just sales the a to they sense remote a the cross-selling check-in good of for cycle on length to the remote

Marc Baumann

selling we're process parallels Sure. think to in that I I the one a mean, as company. have some it into government we private opposed selling to sale already ways

it's forward something make process. There's structured a private can because they business more has argument the with scrutiny decision is a that. domain, public more just in it. compelling formality compelling deliberation propel, There's do to or more there and to the government to proposal So, if go whereas

difference So here. I will be true that think

been as sort that's that going relates to contributor it luggage there's luggage facing favor through TSA is of loading once move working the to set inside the thing up the people curb and long this vehicles airports moving something in check-in traffic and people But radar that. And of do a as whole unloading at think airports, of conversation line front. of curb up luggage need they that, to congestion. particularly take congestion people as there then around our the as I so more down has lines congestion problems slowing from airports it things because to and their are And congestion and that's what the bringing you around enables to obviously get airports congestion, perfect the is is until one now significant come ridesharing to are in future the now then there there's and think they things is check-in the screen in airport. to on most planners that emerging because and about solution checking about how, the in and do consensus more there's the another remote problems remote by a try one a with relates else I an it to that about think of the besides is around traveler someplace the the space,

It's themselves. terms we idea now. would it's has as I XX travel operates for at think and in quite look SP think, it, at airports check-in, Bags us and Plus in an say I of airports. is going I on so of sort But And three cruise right remote whose there's time space only come the airports a doing and bit

array airports as to operated So that the that's get check-in is to airports the by things potential a and you reaching service. operates and massive Bags other operators one us remote in large have SP that of of happening independently a of out that airports front are already are talk a that to about of opportunity for

good talked that's ago. So a the contracting but you you're the of about still, nonetheless, part, face that issues few some that minutes still I being,

a will throughout check-in but opportunity and there multi-year contributing this activities very really we're industries. of the remote is drive travel we're to hoping some performance leisure there, XXXX. But cycle, a in so our cross-selling opportunities and focus set there's have And optimistic sales to to that be

Kevin Steinke

maybe your that consider where on of do or be more revenue terms it just terms those any in of stand desire management capabilities, management more roll those your broadly? phase still you capabilities I out? pilot mean the you're would In revenue update to out to building

Marc Baumann

of us taught been and people the doing type I activity. can cars that we've pilot travelers is Sure. of pilot segments a now think that the be their one different Well, things by year, has parking that revenue for there influenced are about management or our

that aviation the and facility making spending planning looking the decisions the just just person the people the they're potential. think, like in much and day for the I at hospitality whereas parking driving price and looking probably customer convenience to alternatives are some is on most is as based to the one and like that like up ahead. time and for that park the obvious not maybe doing so that Are just online And in has and are parking online one

to part can because the opportunity ahead what the and and price planning obviously going online, seeking our greatest an period a here ahead do the a sensitivity and and planning trying of can to that park it are that say ahead am parking I consist would of in a people they're place is and that -- planning and are it about management revenue time airports of of I there to in going for to looking for for for commitment trip is a people planning day certain ahead extended figure people those out consists monthly to consist So making there.

but able effectively So of parking out a pricing, parking to environment that pilot capability and of in manage sell to customer are process. up capabilities learn we've been called going these to drive efficiency and manage either multiple while in to or to be app focus, more It of manage one to out were our online lot online whether what has for to optimize ease build transaction there only our not partners, and parking.com groups our aggregators to the which the going to through to launched is requires online, parking our of that we're be we other the monthly inventory transactions also about they be difference, to XXXX, the been able use channel that sell, whole able the some through. conducting

influence to continue to our we customer groups. ability different about learn As

parking the a think I for and bit to thousands owned by you now, we're to challenges one small at that's attention going are parking decision-making and the the thousands and equipment facility little it entities, to when of frictionless that facilities more what upgrading for get be made thousands and the is parking enabling out equipment, and those turning thousands owned happens are of facility experience the everyone is and there our large of around decisions by people. that a different entities by those

so there's ultimately going. to variable, transaction online of heads. some it trying to they clients the things be the parking are clients. through do, price going people up when for and offerings be get can I the that all where marketplace the the some They advance, to variable, major think will advance, the we wanted ourselves kind the And facility That's they to want in differentiate factor important going an don't will our pull that be we and but people's are in the the experience, very attract in proximity get experienced is going who we if the future available to say going experience. I and to pay to with that's you a with They the also come when be stand facility that very they them a solutions of to a don't decide those of And quality be to to to can some They of go have at space. obviously implementing one But important they line running the easy in think of be that frictionless proposals become here's but people and pay another both where easy transacting it park, and want think ticket. that that. to focus to to in out, and do a are they to I in the they want also give when choose station are now and do we're how

so facilities from don't. to ultimately a are be the attracting in And experience make places that to that frictionless away those investment parking going customers

help so navigate clients goal our is be, environment. our ourselves changing And kind well and successfully to to that's of position

Kevin Steinke

here. if in Just questions throw couple of number I could a

going exclude from to going expense the the throughout EPS, you kind mean, expense, the numbers to year of year-over-year the Now, as you that I you're adjusted are amortization give just comparable report can have our report when your EPS year is numbers what is results, any you adjust that that? we been or in provide there ago quarterly ahead quarter, the would of way

Vance Johnston

things. of couple a think I

prepared acquired expense amortization I be. our I the remarks provided intangibles we we to on in XXXX think what think one, expect

and amortization of won't reported provide, our will and it's we've the reported commentary, we of acquired then So probably fair since would think commentary We'll on throughout assume our as just specific on and get difference provide we'll the of the of EPS kind provide kind between adjusted I you that adjusted kind be. rest probably But to expect going already so provide provide to to that what EPS. we given year. intangibles

Kevin Steinke
