To Our Shareholders:
Our October 2, 2012 acquisition of Central Parking Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary, USA
Parking System, signified the beginning of perhaps the most transformational year in our Company’s
83-year history. We believe that our Company’s expertise, resources and scale position us to be the
preferred provider of parking management, transportation, maintenance and related outsourced
services in commercial, institutional and municipal real estate markets throughout North America.
Some notable statistics about our Company today:
• Parking operations in 46 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces
• Approximately 2.1 million parking spaces
• Parking operations at 75 airports
• Over $4 billion in annual gross customer collections
• More than 23,000 employees
As indicated when we announced the deal’s signing, we intend to leverage this acquisition in
furtherance of four goals that are integral to the long-term value we’re creating for our shareholders:
1. Continue our legacy of providing innovative and excellent parking management services to an
expanded client base to maximize profit at their facilities while at the same time improving the
Company’s profit margins across our entire portfolio.
2. Cross-sell our additional service offerings – SP Plus® Transportation, SP Plus® Maintenance and
SP Plus® Security Services – across our expanded location inventory in order to grow same store profit.
3. Use our increased scale to capitalize on synergistic opportunities throughout our field and office
support staff, and to take advantage of our increased purchasing volume, in order to substantially
reduce expenses throughout the Company. Our objective is to bring our G&A as a percentage
of gross profit down to 45% by 2015. Such an improvement would be an important component
in producing the higher operating profit margins that this business is capable of generating, and
therefore represents a terrific opportunity given the historically elevated expense levels of the
acquired assets.
4. Continue deploying technology driven products and processes, such as our proprietary ClientView®
client reporting system, our automated TRecs1 bank account reconciliation software, our
iProcurement web-based procurement system, our Stromberg and Kronos electronic timekeeping
systems, and our Focus Point Parking® remote facility monitoring center. All of these automated
systems and tools provide our clients with accurate, flexible and cost efficient management and
reporting systems. This represents a dramatic improvement from the manual-laden processes of
the past, enhancing profitability for both our clients and the Company.
Moreover, we’ll continue to deploy and expand the innovative technologies we’ve developed to
benefit our customers, such as Click and Park®, Click and Ride®, MPM Plus®, CARS (Central Accounts
Receivable System) and online RFID permit sales. These products allow consumers to select and
purchase parking or reserved bus seating in the virtual marketplace using a multitude of devices.

Given the large inventory of spaces we manage, we believe we can transform the manner in which
parking facilities and transportation options are marketed and transacted in the future, and that
we’ve created a significant edge for our clients and our customers in this area. With our web based
search and transaction engines, we believe that the scale associated with our transaction data
ultimately will inure to the benefit of our shareholders.
2013 certainly represents a transitional year for us. In our first year as the largest provider of parking
management services ever assembled, we have three distinct goals for 2013:
1. Retain our existing location base at our historic levels in excess of 90% by delivering excellent
service and maintaining continuous contact with our clients, while at the same time increasing
our inventory of managed locations through our active and expanding new business pipeline.
2. Continue to integrate and synergize our information-processing systems in order to achieve the
G&A savings and efficiencies previously mentioned.
3.
Invest in, develop and roll out technology based products and partnerships that enable us to
enhance consumer loyalty. This effort will be facilitated by branding our products and services
under one, easily identifiable flag that more clearly represents our identity as an innovative
provider of multiple services and products across a variety of markets.
In light of all the attention that was required to finalize and consummate the Central Parking acquisition,
the general economy’s continued flat performance and some one-time events that impacted our
2012 financial results, we are pleased with the Company’s overall performance. Those results, not
surprisingly, are somewhat muddied by the closing of the acquisition during the fiscal year.
Accordingly, our 2012 earnings press release provides additional insight and clarity to our year end
financials reports. The release can be found in the Investor Relations section of our Company
website, www.standardparking.com. In addition to addressing our 2012 results, the release contains
the details of our 2013 earnings per share and free cash flow outlook, as well as our longer-term
financial goals of achieving a 5% compound annual growth rate in gross profit in addition to the
important G&A reduction mentioned above.
As a result, we remain confident about the Company’s prospects for delivering significantly increased
shareholder value in the years ahead. Thank you for your partnership with us.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Our Company
PART I
On October 2, 2012, we completed our acquisition (the “Central Merger”) of Central Parking Corporation
(“Central”) for 6,161,332 shares of our common stock and the assumption of $217.7 million of Central’s debt net of cash
acquired. Additionally, Central’s former stockholders will be entitled to receive $27.0 million, subject to adjustment, to be
paid three years after closing to the extent it is not used to satisfy indemnity obligations. Our consolidated results of
operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 include Central’s results of operations for the period October 2,
2012 through December 31, 2012. Our consolidated results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011
and 2010 do not include amounts related to Central’s results of operations.
We are one of the leading providers of parking management, ground transportation and other ancillary services to
commercial, institutional and municipal clients in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. Our services include a
comprehensive set of on-site parking management and ground transportation services, which consist of training, scheduling
and supervising all service personnel as well as providing customer service, marketing, maintenance, security and accounting
and revenue control functions necessary to facilitate the operation of our clients’ parking facilities. We also provide a range
of ancillary services such as airport shuttle operations, valet services, taxi and livery dispatch services and municipal meter
revenue collection and enforcement services. We strive to be the #1 or #2 provider in each of the core markets in which we
operate. As a given geographic market achieves a threshold operational size, we typically will establish a local office in order
to promote increased operating efficiency. We rely on both organic growth and acquisitions to increase our client base and
leverage our fixed corporate and administrative costs within each major metropolitan area. Our clients choose to outsource
with us in order to attract, service and retain customers, gain access to the breadth and depth of our service and process
expertise, leverage our significant technology capabilities and enhance their parking facility revenue, profitability and cash
flow. As of December 31, 2012, including Central, we managed approximately 4,300 parking facility locations containing
approximately 2.1 million parking spaces in approximately 456 cities, operated 262 parking-related service centers serving
75 airports, operated a fleet of approximately 700 shuttle buses carrying approximately 35 million passengers per year,
operated 136 valet locations and employed a professional staff of approximately 25,000 people.
We have provided parking services since 1929. Our history and resulting experience have allowed us to develop and
standardize a rigorous system of processes and controls that enable us to deliver consistent, transparent, value-added and
high-quality parking facility management services. We serve a variety of industries and have end-market specific
specialization in airports, healthcare facilities, hotels, municipalities and government facilities, commercial real estate,
residential communities, retail and colleges and universities. We market and offer our end-market specific services under our
SP Plus® brand. The professionals dedicated to each of our SP Plus® markets and service lines possess subject matter
expertise that enables them to meet the specific demands of their clients. Additionally, we complement our core services and
help to differentiate our clients’ parking facilities by offering to their customers Ambiance in Parking®, an approach to
parking facility management that includes a comprehensive package of amenity and customer service programs. These
programs not only make the parking experience more enjoyable, but also convey a sense of the client’s sensitivity to and
appreciation for the needs of its parking customers. In doing so, we believe the programs serve to enhance the value of the
parking properties themselves.
We have also dedicated significant resources to human capital management, providing comprehensive training for
our employees, delivered primarily through the use of our web-based Standard University® learning management system,
which promotes customer service and client retention in addition to providing our employees with continued training and
career development opportunities. Our focus on customer service and satisfaction is a key driver of our high location
retention rate, which excluding Central, was approximately 89% and 91% for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
We operate our clients’ facilities through two types of arrangements: management contracts and leases. As of
December 31, 2012, we operated approximately 78% of our locations under management contracts, and approximately 22%
of our locations under leases.
• Under a management contract, we typically receive a base monthly fee for managing the facility, and we may
also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility performance objectives. We also receive fees
for ancillary services. Typically, all of the underlying revenue and expenses under a standard management
contract flow through to our client rather than to us.
• Under a lease, we generally pay to the property owner either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer
collections, or a combination of both. Under a lease, we collect all revenue and are responsible for most
operating expenses, but typically we are not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real
estate taxes.
Our focus on recurring, predominantly fixed-fee management contracts provides us with a measure of insulation
from broader economic cycles and enhances our visibility and relative predictability because our management contract
revenue does not fluctuate materially in relation to variations in parking volumes. Additionally, we are positioned to benefit
from improving macroeconomic conditions and increased parking volumes through our exposure to lease contracts. We
believe our revenue model and contract structure mix provides a competitive advantage when compared with competitors in
our industry.
Our revenue is derived from a broad and diverse group of clients, industry end-markets and geographies. Our clients
include some of North America’s largest private and public owners, municipalities, managers and developers of major office
buildings, residential properties, commercial properties, shopping centers and other retail properties, sports and special event
complexes, hotels, and hospitals and medical centers. No single client accounted for more than 5% of our revenue or more
than 4% of our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012. Additionally, we have built a diverse geographic footprint
that as of December 31, 2012 included operations in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and municipalities,
including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Washington D.C. and Houston, among others, and four Canadian
provinces. Our strategy is focused on building scale and leadership positions in large, strategic markets in order to leverage
the advantages of scale across a larger number of parking locations in a single market. We strive to be the #1 or #2 provider
in each of the core markets in which we operate.
One of the key differentiators in our industry is the effective use of technology, which is of increasing importance to
our clients. Our commitment to the application of technology in the parking facility management industry has resulted in the
creation of a proprietary product, Client View®, which is an on-demand system that enables our clients, at their convenience,
to directly access and download their monthly financial statements and detailed back-up reports. Additionally, we believe we
are a leader in the field of introducing automation and technology as part of our parking facility operations, having been
among the first to introduce airport credit card lanes, apply bar code decal technology and adopt various electronic payment
options such as electronic fund transfer (EFT) payments and pay-on-foot machine (ATM) technology. Our electronic, web-
based Procure-To-Pay procurement and payment system controls costs by automatically enforcing procurement policies and
efficiently processing the associated payables. Our proprietary Click and Park® technology enables people to reserve and
purchase parking online, in advance, both for sporting and special events as well as in a wide array of other commercial
parking environments. Similarly, our proprietary Click and Ride® technology lets people reserve and pay for bus seating
online. Our proprietary MPM Plus® monthly parker management and billing system provides comprehensive and reliable
billing of the parking-related provisions of multi-year commercial tenant leases. As part of the Central Merger, we acquired
Focus Point technology, which enables us to monitor revenue at parking operations and provide 24-hour-a-day customer
assistance (including remedying equipment malfunctions). We believe that automation and technology can enhance customer
convenience, improve cash management and increase overall profitability for our clients, as well as allow us to add new
locations and expand our geographic base of operations more effectively.
Industry Overview
Overview
The parking industry is large and fragmented and includes companies that provide temporary parking spaces for
vehicles on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis along with providing various ancillary services. A substantial number
of companies in the industry offer parking services as a non-core operation in connection with property management or
ownership, and the vast majority of companies in the industry are small, private and operate a single parking facility.
Accordingly, the industry remains highly fragmented. The industry experiences consolidation from time to time, as smaller
operators find that they lack the financial resources, economies of scale and management techniques required to compete
with larger national providers. We expect this trend to continue and will provide larger parking management companies with
opportunities to expand their businesses and acquire smaller operators.
Industry Operating Arrangements
Parking facilities operate under three general types of arrangements:
• management contracts;
•
•
leases; and
ownership.
The general terms and benefits of these three types of arrangements are as follows:
Management Contracts. Under a management contract, the facility operator generally receives a base
monthly fee for managing the facility and may receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility
performance objectives. Facility operators also generally charge fees for various ancillary services such as
accounting, equipment leasing and consulting. Primary responsibilities under a management contract include hiring,
training and staffing parking personnel, and providing revenue collection, accounting, record-keeping, insurance and
facility marketing services. Under a typical management contract, the facility operator is not responsible for
structural or mechanical repairs, or for providing security or guard services. The facility owner usually is responsible
for operating expenses associated with the facility’s operation, such as taxes, license and permit fees, insurance
costs, payroll and accounts receivable processing and wages of personnel assigned to the facility, although some
management contracts, typically referred to as “reverse” management contracts, require the facility operator to pay
certain of these cost categories but provide for payment to the operator of a larger management fee. Under a
management contract, the facility owner usually is responsible for non-routine maintenance, repair costs and capital
improvements. Management contracts are typically for a term of one to three years (although the contracts may
often be terminated, without cause, on 30 days’ notice or less) and may contain a renewal clause. As of
December 31, 2012, we operated approximately 78% of our locations under management contracts.
Leases. Under a lease, the parking facility operator generally pays to the property owner either a fixed base
rent, percentage rent that is tied to the facility’s financial performance, or a combination of both. The parking facility
operator collects all revenue and is responsible for most operating expenses, but typically is not responsible for
major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. In contrast to management contracts, leases typically
are for terms of three to ten years, often contain a renewal term, and provide for a fixed payment to the facility
owner regardless of the facility’s operating earnings. However, many of these leases may be cancelled by the client
for various reasons, including development of the real estate for other uses. Some leases may be cancelled by the
client on as little as 30 days’ notice without cause. Leased facilities generally require a longer commitment and a
larger capital investment by the parking facility operator than do managed facilities. As of December 31, 2012, we
operated approximately 22% of our locations under leases
Ownership. Ownership of parking facilities, either independently or through joint ventures, entails greater
potential risks and rewards than either managed or leased facilities. All owned facility revenue flows directly to the
owner, and the owner has the potential to realize benefits of appreciation in the value of the underlying real estate.
Ownership of parking facilities usually requires large capital investments, and the owner is responsible for all
obligations related to the property, including all structural, mechanical and electrical maintenance and repairs and
property taxes. We acquired a partial ownership interest in six parking facilities as a result of the Central Merger.
Industry Growth Dynamics
A number of industry trends should facilitate growth for larger outsourced commercial parking facility management
providers, including the following:
Opportunities From Large Property Managers, Owners and Developers. As a result of past industry
consolidation, there is a significant number of national property managers, owners and developers that own or
manage multiple locations. Sophisticated property owners consider parking a profit center that experienced parking
facility management companies can maximize. This dynamic favors larger parking facility operators that can
provide specialized, value-added professional services with nationwide coverage.
Outsourcing of Parking Management and Related Services. Growth in the parking management industry
has resulted from a trend by parking facility owners to outsource the management of their parking and related
operations to independent operators. We believe that entities such as large property managers, owners and
developers, as well as cities, municipal authorities, hospitals and universities, in an effort to focus on their core
competencies, reduce operating budgets and increase efficiency and profitability, will continue and perhaps increase
the practice of retaining parking management companies to operate facilities and provide related services, including
shuttle bus operations, municipal meter collection and valet parking.
Vendor Consolidation. Based on interactions with our clients, we believe that many parking facility
owners and managers are evaluating the benefits of reducing the number of parking facility management
relationships they maintain. We believe this is a function of the need to reduce costs associated with interacting with
a large number of third-party suppliers coupled with the need to foster closer inter-company relationships. By
limiting the number of outsourcing vendors, companies will benefit from suppliers who will invest the time and
effort to understand every facet of the client’s business and industry and who can effectively manage and handle all
aspects of their daily requirements. We believe a trend towards vendor consolidation can benefit a company like
ours, given our national footprint and scale, extensive experience, broad process capabilities and a demonstrated
ability to create value for our clients.
Industry Consolidation. The parking management industry is highly fragmented, with hundreds of small
regional or local operators. We believe national parking facility operators have a competitive advantage over local
and regional operators by reason of their:
•
•
•
•
•
broad product and service offerings;
deeper and more experienced management;
relationships with large, national property managers, developers and owners;
efficient cost structure due to economies of scale; and
financial resources to invest in infrastructure and information systems.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe we have the following key competitive strengths:
Leading Market Position with a Unique Value Proposition. We are one of the leading providers of parking
management, ground transportation and other ancillary services, to commercial, institutional, and municipal clients
in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. We strive to be the #1 or #2 provider in each of the core markets in
which we operate. We market and offer many of our services under our SP Plus® brand, which reflects our ability to
provide customized solutions and meet the varied demands of our diverse client base and their wide array of
property types, and supplement them with Ambiance in Parking®, a comprehensive package of amenity and
customer service programs. We can augment our parking services by providing our clients with related services
through our SP Plus® Maintenance, SP Plus® Transportation and, in certain sections of the country, SP Plus®
Security Services service lines, thus enabling our clients to efficiently address various needs through a single vendor
relationship. We believe our ability to offer a comprehensive range of services on a national basis is a significant
competitive advantage and allows our clients to attract, service and retain customers, gain access to the breadth and
depth of our service and process expertise, leverage our significant technology capabilities and enhance their
parking facility revenue, profitability and cash flow.
Our Scale and Diversification. As of December 31, 2012, we managed approximately 4,300 parking
facility locations containing approximately 2.1 million parking spaces in approximately 456 cities, operated 262
parking-related service centers serving 75 airports, operated a fleet of approximately 700 shuttle buses, operated
136 valet locations and employed a professional staff of approximately 25,000 people. We benefit from
diversification across our client base, industry end-markets and geographic locations.
• Client Base. Our clients include some of the nation’s largest private and public owners, municipalities,
managers and developers of major office buildings, residential properties, commercial properties,
shopping centers and other retail properties, sports and special event complexes, hotels, and hospitals
and medical centers. No single client accounted for more than 5% of our revenue or more than 4% of
our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2012.
•
Industry End-Markets. We believe that our industry end-market diversification allows us to minimize
our exposure to industry-specific seasonality and volatility. We believe that the breadth of end-markets
we serve and the depth of services we offer to those end-markets provide us with a broader base of
customers that we can target.
• Geographic Locations. We have a diverse geographic footprint that includes operations in 47 states,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and four Canadian provinces as of December 31, 2012. We
strive to be the #1 or #2 provider in each of the core markets in which we operate, and our strategy is
focused on building size and leadership positions in large, strategic markets in order to leverage the
advantages of scale across a larger number of parking locations in a single market.
Additionally, our scale has enabled us to significantly enhance our operating efficiency over the past
several years by standardizing processes and managing overhead costs.
Stable Client Relationships. We have a track record of providing our clients and parking customers with a
consistent, value-added and high quality parking facility management experience, as reflected by our high location
retention rate, which excluding Central, was approximately 89% and 91% for the years ended December 31, 2012
and 2011. These statistics include the impact of our decision to exit from unprofitable contracts and dispositions
required by the Department of Justice in 2012 in connection with the Central Merger. As our clients continue to
outsource the management of their parking operations and look to consolidate the number of their outsourcing
providers, we believe this trend can benefit companies like ours, which has a national footprint and scale, extensive
experience, broad process capabilities, and a demonstrated ability to create value for our clients.
Established Platform for Future Growth. We have invested resources and developed a national
infrastructure and technology platform which is complemented by significant management expertise, which enables
us to scale our business for future growth effectively and efficiently. We have the ability to transition into a new
location very quickly, from the simplest to the most complex operation, and have experience working with
incumbent facility managers to effect smooth and efficient takeovers and integrate new locations seamlessly into our
operations.
Visible and Predictable Business Model. We believe that our business model provides us with a measure
of insulation from broader economic cycles, because 78% of our combined locations operate on fixed-fee and
reverse management fee management contracts that for the most part are not dependent upon the level of utilization
of those parking facilities. Additionally, because we do only have a partial ownership interest in six parking
facilities, we have limited the risks of real estate ownership. We benefit further from visibility provided by a
recurring revenue model reinforced by location retention rates, that excluding Central, have approximated 89% over
the past five years.
Highly Capital Efficient Business with Attractive Cash Flow Characteristics. Our business generates
attractive cash flow due to negative working capital dynamics and our low capital expenditure requirements. For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, we generated approximately $35.0 million of cash flow from operating
activities, and during the same period our capital expenditures for the purpose of leasehold improvements and
equipment were $4.2 million. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, we generated approximately
$11.4 million of cash flow from operating activities, and during the same period our capital expenditures for the
purpose of leasehold improvements and equipment were $5.0 million.
Focus on Operational Excellence and Human Capital Management. Our culture and training programs
place a continuing focus on excellence in the execution of all aspects of day-to-day parking facility operation. This
focus is reflected in our ability to deliver to our clients a professional, high-quality product through well-trained,
service-oriented personnel, which we believe differentiates us from our competitors. To support our focus on
operational excellence, we manage our human capital through a comprehensive, structured program that evaluates
the competencies and performance of all of our key operations and administrative support personnel on an annual
basis. Based on those evaluations, we create detailed developmental plans designed to provide our personnel with
the skills and tools needed to perform their current duties effectively and to prepare themselves for future growth
and advancement. We have also dedicated significant resources to human capital management, providing
comprehensive training for our employees, delivered primarily through the use of our web-based Standard
University® learning management system, which promotes customer service and client retention in addition to
providing our employees with continued training and career development opportunities.
Experienced Management Team. Our current senior management team has a proven track record of
growing our existing business organically and consistently integrating acquisitions. The named executive officers
have been working together for more than 12 years, and our executive management team has an average of 26 years
of experience in the parking industry.
Our Growth Strategy
Building on these competitive strengths, we believe we are well positioned to execute on the following growth
strategies:
Leverage Anticipated Benefits from Central Merger. Our acquisition of Central in October 2012 resulted in
a combined company offering a broader range of services, with greater quality and cost effectiveness, which we
believe will enable us to become a vendor of choice for outsourced parking facility management, maintenance,
ground transportation and security services. More specifically, we have effectively doubled our location footprint by
adding more than 2,200 locations and approximately one million parking spaces to our portfolio, and we intend to
promote revenue growth selling our current products and services to these new locations. In addition, we intend to
strengthen our ability to serve our customers by integrating Central’s customer-facing products and services, such as
its centralized customer service centers, direct-to-consumer marketing programs, various web-based applications
(including iPhone and Android apps) and enhanced technology applications such as those used by its Focus Point
remote management division, as well as its USA Parking System, Inc. (“USA Parking”) valet expertise. In addition,
we intend to take advantage of scale efficiencies by consolidating back-office processes and eliminating duplicate
infrastructure, and to leverage increased purchasing volume, all of which are collectively expected to generate
significant cost synergies and enable us to expand our client base and grow the business from a lower cost platform.
We expect that our combined company will generate sufficient free cash flow to enable us to make additional
investments in parking-related technology to accelerate development of new products and services that further
improve our clients’ satisfaction and our customers’ parking experience. We also believe that sharing of
complementary capabilities will allow the combined company to leverage customer information and technology to
deliver services to our customers more effectively and to better understand customer preferences while also
providing client-focused services, such as automated and web-based transportation, security, maintenance, parking
enforcement and meter collection products and services; customer relationship management systems and the
capability to capture parking data on a large scale; and enhanced property management technology, including
electronic marketing services, billing systems and automated reporting. We believe these complementary
capabilities also will bolster our ability to build upon existing relationships with, and attract, employees, clients and
customers.
Grow the Hospitality Business. USA Parking, one of the subsidiaries we acquired in the Central Merger, is
a leader in the valet industry, and management believes that there is a significant opportunity to use USA Parking’s
capability to develop a national valet business. As of December 31, 2012, we operate 136 valet locations. Our
objective is to focus on the most important aspects of the valet business promptly upon obtaining a new location,
from the first contact with a potential customer to the execution of service. Given the importance of neat, clean and
polite service, the success of our valet business is dependent upon ensuring that its valet associates deliver excellent
service every day. To accomplish this objective, our USA University subsidiary provides training to its valet
associates. USA University, which began operating in 1995, trained approximately 1,500 employees during our past
fiscal year to become an integrated extension of our clients’ staff and blend seamlessly into the overall hospitality
experience. In addition, we are expanding USA University to train a growing number of employees in valet
operations serving other parking locations, including Class A office buildings and residences, municipalities,
airports and stadiums and entertainment complexes, to provide high-quality service.
Grow Our Portfolio of Contracts in Existing Geographic Markets. Our strategy is to capitalize on
economies of scale and operating efficiencies by expanding our contract portfolio in our existing geographic
markets, especially in our core markets. We market our services in each of our existing core markets with the goal of
becoming the #1 or #2 provider in that market. As a given geographic market achieves a threshold operational size,
we typically will establish a local office in order to promote increased operating efficiency by enabling local
managers to use a common staff for recruiting, training and human resources support. This concentration of
operating locations allows for increased operating efficiency and superior levels of customer service and retention
through the accessibility of local managers and support resources. We rely on both organic growth and acquisitions
such as the Central Merger to increase our client base and leverage our fixed corporate and administrative costs
within each major metropolitan area.
Increase Penetration in Our Current Vertical End-Markets. We believe that a significant opportunity
exists for us to expand our presence into certain industry end-markets, such as colleges and universities, hospitals
and medical centers as well as municipalities. In order to effectively target these new markets, we have implemented
a go-to-market strategy of aligning our business by vertical end-markets and branding our domain expertise through
our SP Plus® market designations to highlight the specialized expertise and services that we provide to meet the
needs of each particular industry and customer. This combination, in turn, allows us to deliver high quality and
consistent services for our clients, enhances customer loyalty and allows us to further leverage our service
capabilities, technology platform and regional and market-based management structure.
Expand and Cross-Sell Additional Services to Drive Incremental Revenue. We believe we have significant
opportunities to strengthen our relationships with existing clients, and to attract new clients, by continuing to cross-
sell value-added services that complement our core parking operations. These services include shuttle bus
operations, taxi and livery dispatch services, valet, concierge-type ground transportation, on-street parking meter
collection and enforcement, facility maintenance services, remote management, parking consulting and billing
services. We also are evaluating new service opportunities, such as security services, that would leverage our core
competency of managing large networks of geographically dispersed employees. To better reflect these broader
competencies, we developed the SP Plus® brand, which emphasizes our specialized market expertise and
distinguishes our ancillary service lines from the traditional parking services we provide. Our SP Plus® brand
includes market designations such as SP Plus® Airport Services, SP Plus® Gameday, SP Plus® Event Services, SP
Plus® Healthcare Services, SP Plus® Hotel Services, SP Plus® Municipal Services, SP Plus® Office Services, SP
Plus® Residential Services, SP Plus® Retail Services and SP Plus® University Services, which reflect the
market-specific subject matter expertise that enables our professionals to meet the varied parking and
transportation-related demands of those specific property types. Because our capabilities range beyond parking
facility management, our SP Plus® Transportation, SP Plus® Maintenance and SP Plus® Security Services brands
more clearly distinguish those service lines from the traditional parking services that we provide under our Standard
Parking brand. By offering this wide assortment of ancillary services, we are able to broaden the scope of our client
relationships and thus increase our clients’ reliance and dependency on our services, which in turn results in
enhanced client retention rates and higher revenue and gross profit per location.
Expand Our Geographic Platform. We believe that opportunities exist to develop new geographic markets
either through new contract wins, acquisitions, alliances or partnerships. Clients who outsource the management of
their parking operations often have a presence in a variety of urban markets and seek to outsource the management
of their parking facilities to a national provider. We intend to leverage relationships with existing clients that have
locations in multiple markets as one potential entry point into developing new core markets. Additionally, we may
continue to pursue acquisitions as a means of gaining critical mass in a new market.
Continue to Focus on Management Contracts and Operational Efficiencies to Further Improve
Profitability. We continue to focus on the growth of lower-risk management contracts, which are inherently more
predictable. We have invested substantial resources in information technology and continually seek to consolidate
various corporate functions where possible in order to improve our processes and service offerings. In addition, we
will continue to evaluate and improve our human capital management to ensure a consistent and high-level of
service for our clients. The initiatives undertaken to date in these areas have improved our cost structure and
enhanced our financial strength, which we believe will continue to yield future benefits.
Pursue Opportunistic, Accretive Acquisitions. The outsourced parking management industry remains
highly fragmented and presents a significant opportunity for us. Given the scale in our operating platform, we have a
demonstrated ability to successfully identify, acquire and integrate accretive tuck-in acquisitions. For example, in
July 2009, we acquired the assets of Gameday Management Group, U.S., an Orlando-based company that plans the
operation of transportation and parking systems for major stadium and sporting events. Our Gameday subsidiary has
provided its transportation and traffic management services for high-profile events, including Super Bowls XXX-
XLIVII, the Daytona 500, and the London 2012 Summer Olympics. Now offered under our SP Plus® GAMEDAY
and SP Plus® Event Services brands, this acquisition has enabled us to provide our stadium and special event clients
with transportation and parking planning expertise that can meet their most complex needs. Having provided these
services for such high-profile events as the 2010 World Equestrian Games, 2012 NCAA Men’s Basketball
Championship, 2012 Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Game and the 2012 Republican National Convention, we expect to
continue leveraging SP Plus® Gameday’s expertise into new parking and transportation opportunities in the future.
Among the assets acquired is SP Plus® Gameday’s Click and Park® online parking and traffic management system,
which enables parking customers to reserve and pay for parking online in advance of an event and its related Click
and Ride® online seating reservation system, which enables riders to reserve and pay for shuttle bus seats. The
addition of this capability to our product line in 2009 is an example of how we are integrating technology into a
changing parking industry. We will continue to selectively pursue acquisition opportunities that help us acquire
scale or enhance our service capabilities.
We also provide a range of ancillary services to satisfy client needs such as municipal meter collection and
valet parking at luxury resorts.
Services
As a professional parking management company, we provide a comprehensive, turn-key package of parking services
to our clients. Under a typical management contract structure, we are responsible for providing and supervising all personnel
necessary to facilitate daily parking operations including cashiers, porters, valet attendants, managers, bookkeepers, and a
variety of maintenance, marketing, customer service, and accounting and revenue control functions. By way of example, our
typical day-to-day operating duties, whether performed using our own personnel or subcontracted vendors, include:
• Collection and deposit of daily and monthly parking revenues from all parking customers.
• Daily housekeeping to maintain the facility in a clean and orderly manner.
• Restriping of the parking stalls as necessary.
• Routine maintenance of parking equipment (e.g., ticket dispensing machines, parking gate arms, fee
computers).
• Marketing efforts designed to maximize gross parking revenues.
• Delivery of courteous and professional customer relations.
•
•
Painting of walkways, curbs, ceilings, walls or other facility surfaces.
Snow removal from sidewalks and driveways.
The scope of our management services typically also includes a number of functions that support the basic daily
facility operations, such as:
•
Preparation of an annual operating budget reflecting our estimates of the annual gross parking revenues that the
facility will generate from its parking customers, as well as the costs and expenses to be incurred in connection
with the facility’s operation.
• Evaluation and analysis of, and consultation with our clients with respect to, price structures that will optimize
our client’s revenue objectives.
• Consultation with our clients regarding which of our customer amenities are appropriate and/or desirable for
implementation at the client’s parking facility.
•
Implementation of a wide range of operational and revenue control processes and procedures, including internal
audit procedures, designed to maximize and protect the facility’s parking revenues. Compliance with our
mandated processes and procedures is supervised by dedicated internal audit and contract compliance groups.
• Consultation with our clients regarding any recommended modifications in facility design or traffic flow, or the
installation of new or updated parking equipment, designed both to enhance the ease and convenience of the
parking experience for the parking customers and to maximize facility profitability.
• Monthly reporting to our clients regarding the facility’s operating results. For those clients who wish to directly
access their financial reporting information on-line, we offer the use of our proprietary Client View® client
reporting system, which provides on-line access to site-level financial and operating information.
Ancillary Services
Beyond the conventional parking facility management services described above, we also offer an expanded range of
ancillary services. For example:
• At various airports throughout the United States, we provide shuttle bus vehicles and the drivers to operate them
in support of on-airport car rental operations as well as private off-airport parking locations.
• At certain airports, we provide ancillary ground transportation services, such as taxi and livery dispatch
services, as well as concierge-type ground transportation information and support services for arriving
passengers.
•
For municipalities, we provide basic shuttle bus services, on-street parking meter collection and other forms of
parking enforcement services.
• Within the medical center and hospital market, we provide valet and shuttle bus services.
• Within the luxury hotel and resort market, we provide valet services.
• We provide remote parking management services using technology that enables us to monitor a parking
operation from a remote, off-site location and provide 24-hour-a-day customer assistance (including remedying
equipment malfunctions).
Amenities and Customer Service Programs
We offer a comprehensive package of amenity and customer service programs, branded as Ambiance in Parking®,
many at nominal or no cost to the client. These programs not only make the parking experience more enjoyable, but also
convey a sense of the client’s sensitivity to and appreciation of the needs of its parking customers. In doing so, we believe the
programs serve to enhance the value of the parking properties themselves.
Musical Theme Floor Reminder System. Our musical theme floor reminder system is designed to help customers
remember the garage level on which they parked. A different song is played on each floor of the parking garage. Each floor
also displays distinctive signage and graphics that correspond with the floor’s theme. For example, in one parking facility
with U.S. colleges as a theme, a different college logo is displayed, and that college’s specific fight song is heard, on each
parking level. Other parking facilities have themes such as famous recording artists, musical instruments, and professional
sports teams.
Books-To-Go® CD Library. Monthly customers can borrow—free of charge—audio CDs to which they can listen as
they drive to and from work. A wide selection of fiction, non-fiction and business titles is maintained in the facility office.
Films-To-Go® DVD Library. This amenity builds on the success of our popular Books-To-Go® program. DVDs of
many popular movie titles are stocked in the parking facility office and made available free of charge to monthly customers.
The movie selections are updated on a regular basis.
SPokes. Monthly parkers at participating facilities can check out a cruiser bike, free of charge, for their personal
use. Parking customers make their reservations through the facility manager, and all riders are provided with helmets.
Returned bikes and helmets are inspected and cleaned by a facility employee before reuse.
Complimentary Driver Assistance Services. Parking facility attendants provide a wide range of complimentary
services to customers with car problems. Assistance can include charging weak batteries, inflating/changing tires, cleaning
windshields and refilling windshield washer fluid. Attendants also can help customers locate their vehicles and escort them to
their cars.
Standard Equipment & Technology Upgrade Program® Services (SETUP®). We provide clients with a complete
turnkey solution to managing all phases of new equipment projects, from initial design to installation to ongoing
maintenance. Our design team will suggest a complete solution intended to return to our clients the greatest value for their
investment based upon consideration of a wide array of choices as to both equipment (such as Pay-On-Foot, Automated
Vehicle Identification and Automated Credit/Debit Card machine technology) and services (procurement, project
management, installation and maintenance).
SPareTM Emergency Care Services. Under our SPareTM Emergency Care Services program, customers experiencing
vehicle problems beyond weak batteries and low tire pressure call our toll-free number to receive, on a pay-per-use basis, a
basic package of emergency services, including towing, jump starting, flat tire changing, fuel delivery, extracting a vehicle
from the side of the road and lock-out service. The emergency services are provided at the parking facility or anywhere on
the road.
CarCare Maintenance Services. A car service vendor will pick-up a customer’s car from the parking facility,
contact the customer with an estimate, service the car during normal working hours and return it to the facility before the end
of the business day.
Automated Teller Machines. On-site ATM machines provide customers access to cash from bankcards and credit
cards. We arrange for the installation of the machine, operated and maintained by an outside vendor. The parking facility
realizes supplemental income from a fixed monthly rent and a share of usage transaction fees.
Complimentary Courtesy Umbrellas and Flashlights. Courtesy umbrellas are loaned to customers on rainy days. A
similar lending program can be implemented to provide flashlights in emergency situations or power outages.
Complimentary Services/Customer Appreciation Days. Our clients select from a variety of complimentary services
that we provide as a special way of saying “thank you” to our parking customers. Depending on client preferences, coffee,
donuts and/or newspapers occasionally are provided to customers during the morning rush hour. On certain holidays, candy,
with wrappers that can be customized with the facility logo, can be distributed to customers as they exit. We also can
distribute personalized promotional items, such as ice scrapers and key-chains.
Web-Based Applications. As a result of the Central Merger, Standard Parking has acquired a portfolio of PC-based
applications that are also supported with iPhone and Android apps. These advanced technology and feature rich applications
are designed to support client and customer acquisition and retention, deliver business programs that benefit employees and
other organizational members, and include direct-to-consumer programs intended to enhance daily, monthly and event
parking revenue at our locations. These platforms are easily integrated with ecommerce capabilities such as the Company’s
proprietary Click and Park® online reservation and payment engine.
Centralized Contact Center. We deliver a high level of customer service by bringing our national customer service
expertise to local markets through a centralized system designed to enhance consistency and performance. A centralized team
of trained Contact Center professionals offer increased availability and improved responsiveness to meet customer needs.
Whether via email, phone or other communication channels, our customer support team is readily accessible by our
customers, and centralized databases provide the team with necessary customer-related information on a city-by-city basis.
Business Development
Our efforts to attract new clients are primarily concentrated in and coordinated by a dedicated business development
group, whose background and expertise is in the field of sales and marketing, and whose financial compensation is
determined to a significant extent by their business development success. This business development group is responsible for
forecasting sales, maintaining a pipeline of prospective and existing clients, initiating contacts with such clients, and then
following through to coordinate meetings involving those clients and the appropriate members of our operations hierarchy.
By concentrating our sales efforts through this dedicated group, we enable our operations personnel to focus on achieving
excellence in our parking facility operations and maximizing our clients’ parking profits and our own profitability.
We also place a specific focus on marketing and client relationship efforts that pertain to those clients having a large
regional or national presence. Accordingly, we assign a dedicated executive to those clients to address any existing portfolio
issues, as well as to reinforce existing and develop new account relationships and to take any other action that may further
our business development interests.
Operations
We maintain regional and city offices throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada in order to support
approximately 25,000 employees and approximately 4,300 locations. These offices serve as the central bases through which
we provide the employees to staff our parking facilities as well as the on-site and support management staff to oversee those
operations. Our administrative staff accountants are based in those same offices and facilitate the efficient, accurate and
timely production and delivery to our clients of our monthly reports. Having these all-inclusive operations and accounting
teams located in regional and city offices throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada allows us to add new
locations quickly and in a cost-efficient manner. To facilitate the training of our facility personnel throughout the country, we
have created Standard University®, the foundation of all our formal training programs that span a wide range of topics
including soft skills, technology, software, leadership skills and operating procedures. Courses are deployed using a
multitude of methods including classroom sessions, web-based sessions, and self-managed, computer-based training.
Standard University® is available to our employees on a 24/7 basis so they may access training and information when they
need it. In addition, we are expanding USA University to train a growing number of employees in valet operations serving
other parking locations, including Class A office buildings and residences, municipalities, airports and stadiums and
entertainment complexes, to provide high-quality service.
Our overall basic corporate functions in the areas of finance, human resources, risk management, legal, purchasing
and procurement, general administration, strategy and information and technology are based in our Chicago corporate office.
The Chicago corporate office also supports and promotes consistency throughout our field operations by developing and
administering our operational, financial and administrative policies, practices and procedures. Our subsidiary, Central, has
significant operations in Nashville, Tennessee.
Clients and Properties
Our client base includes a diverse cross-section of public and private owners of commercial, institutional and
municipal real estate. No single client represented more than 5% of revenues or more than 4% of our gross profit for the year
ended December 31, 2012. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we retained an average of 90%
of our locations (which statistic includes the impact of our decision to exit from unprofitable contracts and excludes locations
acquired in the Central Merger).
Information Technology
We believe that automation and technology can enhance customer convenience, lower labor costs, improve cash
management and increase overall profitability. We have been a leader in the field of introducing automation and technology
to the parking business and we were among the first to adopt electronic fund transfer (EFT) payment options, pay-on-foot
(ATM) technology and bar code decal technology. Our proprietary Click and Park® technology enables people to reserve and
purchase parking online, in advance, both for sporting and special events as well as in a wide array of other commercial
parking environments. At many locations, Click and Park® users also can get customized directions showing what route to
take to get to their parking destination most efficiently. Similarly, our proprietary Click and Ride® system lets people reserve
and pay for bus seating online, in advance. Our proprietary MPM Plus® monthly parker management and billing system
provides comprehensive and reliable billing of the parking-related provisions of multi-year commercial tenant leases.
In connection with the Central Merger, we acquired Focus Point Parking, a remote parking management company
located in Austin, Texas. From its Austin office, Focus Point personnel are able to monitor revenue and other aspects of a
parking operation and provide 24-hour-a-day customer assistance (including remedying equipment malfunctions). We have
begun expanding the locations where our Focus Point technology is installed. Focus Point has been installed in approximately
sixty locations with several other locations in the process of implementing Focus Point. We expect this business to grow as
clients focus on improving the profitability of their parking operations by decreasing labor costs at their locations through
remote management.
To promote internal efficiency, we have created advanced information systems that connect local offices across the
country to our corporate headquarters. These systems support accounting, financial management and reporting practices,
general operating procedures, training, employment policies, cash controls and marketing procedures. Our commitment to the
application of technology in the parking management business has resulted in the creation of a proprietary product, Client
View®, an Internet-based system that gives our clients the flexibility and convenience to access and download their monthly
financials and detailed back-up reports. In addition, use of our electronic, web-based Procure-To-Pay procurement and
payment system controls costs by automatically enforcing procurement policies and efficiently processing the associated
payables. We believe that our standardized processes and controls enhance our ability to successfully add new locations and
expand our operations into new markets.
Employees
As of December 31, 2012, we employed 25,011 individuals, including 14,940 full-time and 10,071 part-time
employees. As of December 31, 2011, we employed 11,914 individuals, including 6,602 full-time and 5,312 part-time
employees. Approximately 30% of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and represented by labor
unions. Various union locals represent parking attendants and cashiers at the New York City facilities. Some of our
employees are also represented by labor unions in the following cities: Atlantic City, Chicago, Detroit, Jersey City, Long
Beach (CA), Los Angeles, Manchester (NH), Miami, Newark, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Rochester, San Francisco, San Juan
(Puerto Rico), Syracuse, Washington, DC. We are frequently engaged in collective bargaining negotiations with various
union locals. No single collective bargaining agreement covers a material number of employees. We believe that our
employee relations are generally good.
Insurance
We purchase comprehensive liability insurance covering certain claims that occur in the operations that we lease or
manage. The primary amount of such coverage is $2.0 million per occurrence and $2.0 million in the aggregate per facility
for our garage liability and garage keepers legal liability coverage. In addition, we purchase workers’ compensation insurance
for all eligible employees and umbrella/excess liability coverage. Under our various liability and workers’ compensation
insurance policies, we are obligated to pay directly or reimburse the insurance carrier for the first $250,000 of any loss. As a
result, we are, in effect, self-insured for all claims up to that deductible level. We utilize a third-party administrator to process
and pay claims. We also purchase property insurance that provides coverage for loss or damage to our property and in some
cases our clients’ property, as well as business interruption coverage for lost operating income and certain associated
expenses. The deductible applicable to any given loss under our property insurance policy varies based upon the insured
values and the peril that causes the loss. We believe that our insurance coverage is adequate and consistent with industry
practice. Because of the size of the operations covered and our claims experience, we purchase insurance policies at prices
that we believe represent a discount to the prices that would typically be charged to parking facility owners on a stand-alone
basis. The clients for whom we operate parking facilities pursuant to management contracts have the option of purchasing
their own liability insurance policies (provided that we are named as an additional insured pursuant to an additional insured
endorsement), but historically most of our clients have chosen to obtain insurance coverage by being named as additional
insureds under our master liability insurance policies.
We purchase group health insurance with respect to eligible full-time employees (whether they work at leased
facilities, managed facilities or in our support offices) and their family members. With regard to employees paid through the
Standard Parking payroll system, we are fully-insured for all covered expenses. With regard to employees paid through the
Central payroll system, we self-insure up to a $175,000 stop-loss limit per illness.
Pursuant to our management contracts, we charge those clients an allocated portion of our insurance-related costs.
Competition
The parking industry is fragmented and highly competitive, with limited barriers to entry. We face direct
competition for additional facilities to manage or lease, while our facilities themselves compete with nearby facilities for our
parking customers and in the labor market generally for qualified employees. Moreover, the construction of new parking
facilities near our existing facilities can adversely affect our business. There are only a few national parking management
companies that compete with us. We also face competition from numerous smaller, locally owned independent parking
operators, as well as from developers, hotels, national financial services companies and other institutions that manage their
own parking facilities as well as facilities owned by others. Many municipalities and other governmental entities also operate
their own parking facilities, potentially eliminating those facilities as management or lease opportunities for us. Some of our
present and potential competitors have or may obtain greater financial and marketing resources than us, which may
negatively impact our ability to retain existing contracts and gain new contracts. We face significant competition in our
efforts to provide ancillary services such as shuttle bus services and on-street parking enforcement because several large
companies specialize in these services.
Our management believes that we compete for management clients based on a variety of factors, including fees
charged for services, ability to generate revenues and control expenses for clients, accurate and timely reporting of
operational results, quality of customer service, and ability to anticipate and respond to industry changes. Factors that affect
our ability to compete for leased locations include the ability to make financial commitments, long-term financial stability,
and the ability to generate revenues and control expenses. Factors affecting our ability to compete for employees include
wages, benefits and working conditions.
Regulation
Our business is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, and in some cases, municipal and
state authorities directly regulate parking facilities. Our facilities in New York City are, for example, subject to extensive
governmental restrictions concerning automobile capacity, pricing, structural integrity and certain prohibited practices. Many
cities impose a tax or surcharge on parking services, which generally range from 10% to 50% of revenues collected. We
collect and remit sales/parking taxes and file tax returns for and on behalf of our clients and ourselves. We are affected by
laws and regulations that may impose a direct assessment on us for failure to remit sales/parking taxes or to file tax returns
for ourselves and on behalf of our clients.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner
or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under
or in such property. Such laws typically impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In connection with the operation of parking facilities, we
may be potentially liable for any such costs. Additionally, Central previously owned a large number of real properties and we
acquired a partial ownership interest in six parking facilities as part of the Central Merger. We may now be liable for such
costs as a result of such previous and current ownership. In addition, from time to time we are involved in environmental
issues at certain of our locations or in connection with our operations. While it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of
any of these matters, based on information currently available, management believes that none of these matters, individually
or in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or
cash flows. The cost of defending against claims of liability, or of remediating a contaminated property, could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Several state and local laws have been passed in recent years that encourage car-pooling and the use of mass transit
or impose certain restrictions on automobile usage. These types of laws have adversely affected our revenues and could
continue to do so in the future. For example, the City of New York imposed restrictions in the wake of the September 11
terrorist attacks, which included street closures, traffic flow restrictions and a requirement for passenger cars entering certain
bridges and tunnels to have more than one occupant during the morning rush hour. It is possible that cities could enact
additional measures such as higher tolls, increased taxes and vehicle occupancy requirements in certain circumstances, which
could adversely impact us. We are also affected by zoning and use restrictions and other laws and regulations that are
common to any business that deals with real estate.
In addition, we are subject to laws generally applicable to businesses, including but not limited to federal, state and
local regulations relating to wage and hour matters, employee classification, mandatory healthcare benefits, unlawful
workplace discrimination, human rights laws and whistle blowing. Several cities in which we have operations either have
adopted or are considering the adoption of so-called “living wage” ordinances, which could adversely impact our profitability
by requiring companies that contract with local governmental authorities and other employers to increase wages to levels
substantially above the federal minimum wage. In addition, we are subject to provisions of the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970, as amended (“OSHA”), and related regulations. Any actual or alleged failure to comply with any
regulation applicable to our business or any whistle-blowing claim, even if without merit, could result in costly litigation,
regulatory action or otherwise harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In connection with certain transportation services provided to our clients, including shuttle bus operations, we
provide the vehicles and the drivers to operate these transportation services. The U.S. Department of Transportation and
various state agencies exercise broad powers over these transportation services, including, licensing and authorizations, safety
and insurance requirements. Our employee drivers must also comply with the safety and fitness regulations promulgated by
the Department of Transportation, including those related to drug and alcohol testing and service hours. We may become
subject to new and more restrictive federal and state regulations. Compliance with such regulations could hamper our ability
to provide qualified drivers and increase our operating costs.
We are also subject to consumer credit laws and credit card industry rules and regulations relating to the processing
of credit card transactions, including the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act and the Payment Card Data Security
Standard. This law and these industry standards impose substantial financial penalties for non-compliance.
Various other governmental regulations affect our operation of parking facilities, both directly and indirectly,
including the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”). Under the ADA, all public accommodations, including parking
facilities, are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. For example, the
ADA requires parking facilities to include handicapped spaces, headroom for wheelchair vans, attendants’ booths that
accommodate wheelchairs and elevators that are operable by disabled persons. When negotiating management contracts and
leases with clients, we generally require that the property owner contractually assume responsibility for any ADA liability in
connection with the property. There can be no assurance, however, that the property owner has assumed such liability for any
given property and there can be no assurance that we would not be held liable despite assumption of responsibility for such
liability by the property owner. Management believes that the parking facilities we operate are in substantial compliance with
ADA requirements.
Regulations by the Federal Aviation Administration may affect our business. The FAA generally prohibits parking
within 300 feet of airport terminals during times of heightened alert. The 300 foot rule and new regulations may prevent us
from using a number of existing spaces during heightened security alerts at airports. Reductions in the number of parking
spaces may reduce our gross profit and cash flow for both our leased facilities and those facilities we operate under
management contracts.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the specific risk factors described below together with all other information contained
in or incorporated by reference into this Report, as these risks, among others, are important factors that could cause our
actual results to differ from our historical results. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you
should not consider any such list to be a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties applicable to our business.
We may be unable to integrate Central’s business with our own successfully.
On October 2, 2012, we completed our acquisition of Central Parking Corporation, and Central is now our wholly
owned subsidiary. We are devoting significant management attention and resources to integrating Central’s business
practices and operations with our own. Potential difficulties we may encounter as part of the integration process include the
following:
•
•
•
•
•
the potential inability to successfully combine Central’s business with our own in a manner that permits us to
achieve the cost synergies expected to be achieved within two years of the completion of the merger and other
benefits anticipated to result from the merger;
the potential inability to integrate Central’s customer-facing products and services, such as its centralized
customer service centers, direct-to-consumer marketing programs, various web-based applications and
enhanced technology applications such as those used by its Focus Point remote management division;
challenges leveraging the customer information and technology of the two companies;
challenges effectuating the diversification strategy, including challenges achieving revenue growth from sales
of each company’s products and services to the clients and customers of the other company;
complexities associated with managing the combined businesses, including difficulty addressing possible
differences in corporate cultures and management philosophies and the challenge of integrating complex
systems, technology, networks and other assets of each of the companies in a seamless manner that minimizes
any adverse impact on customers, clients, employees, lenders and other constituencies; and
•
potential unknown liabilities and unforeseen increased expenses associated with the merger.
It is possible that the integration process could result in diversion of the attention of our management, which could
adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with customers, clients, employees and other constituencies or our
ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the merger, or could reduce our earnings or otherwise adversely affect our
business and financial results.
We incurred substantial additional indebtedness in connection with the Central Merger.
In connection with the Central Merger, we entered into a credit agreement dated October 2, 2012 providing for
$450.0 million in secured Senior Credit Facility (“Senior Credit Facility) consisting of (1) a $200.0 million five-year
revolving credit facility and (2) a $250.0 million term loan facility with Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and certain other financial institutions. In conjunction with Central Merger, we assumed
approximately $217.7 million of Central’s debt, net of cash acquired, which was repaid at closing using the proceeds of the
$450.0 million Senior Credit Facility. In addition, the proceeds from these borrowings have been and will be used by us to
finance in part the Central Merger, the costs and expenses related to the Central Merger and the our ongoing working capital
and other general corporate purposes. As a result, we have indebtedness that is substantially greater than our indebtedness
prior to the Central Merger. This higher level of indebtedness may:
•
•
•
require us to dedicate a greater percentage of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby
reducing the availability of cash flow to fund capital expenditures, pursue other acquisitions or investments in
new technologies, make stock repurchases, pay dividends and for general corporate purposes;
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic conditions, including increases in interest rates if the
borrowings bear interest at variable rates or if such indebtedness is refinanced at a time when interest rates are
higher; and
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in or challenges relating to our business and
industry, creating competitive disadvantages compared to other competitors with lower debt levels and
borrowing costs.
We cannot assure you that cash flow from operations, combined with additional borrowings under the Senior Credit
Facility and any future credit facility, will be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to repay our indebtedness, or to
fund other liquidity needs. If the consolidated leverage ratio exceeds certain thresholds, the interest rate on indebtedness
outstanding under our credit facility will be higher. In addition, if the consolidated leverage ratio exceeds certain other
thresholds, we will be required to make mandatory prepayments of our outstanding indebtedness using excess free cash flow.
We may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, which could cause the related risks to intensify. We
may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before their respective maturities. We cannot assure you that
we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our Senior Credit Facility, on commercially reasonable terms
or at all. If we are unable to refinance our debt, we may default under the terms of our indebtedness, which could lead to an
acceleration of the debt. We do not expect that we could repay all of our outstanding indebtedness if the repayment of such
indebtedness was accelerated.
We have incurred substantial expenses and expect to incur additional substantial expenses related to the Central Merger
and our integration with Central.
We have incurred or expect to incur approximately $37.1 million in total merger and integration costs, including
$7.5 million in transaction costs, $19.3 million for synergy planning and integration costs and $10.3 million for financing
costs and original issue discount costs. While we have assumed that this level of expense will be incurred, there are many
factors beyond our control that could affect the total amount of merger and integration expenses. Moreover, many of the
expenses that will be incurred are, by their nature, difficult to estimate accurately. To the extent these merger and integration
expenses are higher than anticipated, our future operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected
and our ability to meet the leverage ratio and fixed charged ratio mandated by our Senior Credit Facility may be impaired.
Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved in the normal
course of business could affect our operations and financial condition.
In the normal course of business, we are from time to time involved in various legal proceedings. The outcome of
these legal proceedings cannot be predicted. It is possible that an unfavorable outcome of some or all of the matters could
cause us to incur substantial liabilities that may have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and results of
operations. Any significant adverse litigation, judgments or settlements could have a negative effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Central is subject to a number of ongoing legal proceedings, and we
will incur substantial expenses defending such matters and may have judgments levied against us that are substantial and may
not be covered by reserves.
Damage caused by Hurricane Sandy will adversely impact our business and financial results.
We have significant operations in New Jersey, New York and other areas that have been impacted by Hurricane
Sandy. Although it is premature to quantify the total reduction in revenues or net income related to Hurricane Sandy, we
expect that our business and financial results will be adversely impacted. We have engaged forensic accountants to assist in
the process of identifying and quantifying the total revenue reduction and property damage that we have sustained from the
hurricane. As of December 31, 2012, no amounts have been recorded related to the deductible portion of our casualty
insurance program that we expect to incur in connection with the hurricane-related insurance claim that we will file.
Deterioration in economic conditions in general could reduce the demand for parking and ancillary services and, as a
result, reduce our earnings and adversely affect our financial condition.
Adverse changes in global, national and local economic conditions could have a negative impact on our business.
High domestic unemployment has contributed to reduced discretionary spending by consumers and slowed or reduced
economic activity by businesses in the U.S. and most major global economies compared to 2007 levels. In addition, our
business operations tend to be concentrated in large urban areas. Many of our customers are workers who commute by car to
their places of employment in these urban centers. Our business could be materially adversely affected to the extent that weak
economic conditions or demographic factors have resulted in the elimination of jobs and high unemployment in these large
urban areas. In addition, increased unemployment levels, the movement of white-collar jobs from urban centers to suburbs or
out of North America entirely, increased office vacancies in urban areas, movement toward home office alternatives or lower
consumer spending could reduce consumer demand for our services.
Adverse changes in economic conditions could also lead to a decline in parking at airports and commercial facilities,
including facilities owned by retail operators and hotels. In particular, reductions in parking at leased facilities can lower our
profit because a decrease in revenue would be exacerbated by fixed costs that we must pay under our leases.
If adverse economic conditions reduce discretionary spending, business travel or other economic activity that fuels
demand for our services, our earnings could be reduced. Adverse changes in local and national economic conditions could
also depress prices for our services or cause clients to cancel their agreements to purchase our services.
The Central Merger may result in a loss of customers, clients and strategic alliances.
As a result of the Central Merger, some of our customers, clients, potential customers or clients or strategic partners
may terminate their business relationship with us. Potential clients or strategic partners may delay entering into, or decide not
to enter into, a business relationship with us because of the Central Merger. If customer or client relationships or strategic
alliances are adversely affected by the Central Merger, our business and financial performance could suffer.
Our management contracts and leases expose us to certain risks.
The loss or renewal on less favorable terms of a substantial number of management contracts or leases could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. A material reduction in the operating
income associated with the integrated services we provide under management contracts and leases could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our management contracts are typically for a
term of one to three years, although the contracts may often be terminated, without cause, on 30 days’ notice or less, giving
clients regular opportunities to attempt to negotiate a reduction in fees or other allocated costs. Any loss of a significant
number of clients could in the aggregate materially adversely affect our operating results.
In addition, we are particularly exposed to increases in costs for locations that we operate under leases because we
are generally responsible for all the operating expenses of our leased locations. Additionally, some of our leases acquired in
the Central Merger include provisions allocating responsibility for all structural repairs required on the property to us,
including repairs arising as a result of ordinary wear and tear. The number of these leases under which we may have
responsibility for structural repairs is difficult to quantify, mainly due to the large number of leases we acquired in the
Central Merger, unclear language in many of these leases regarding repairs and the parties responsible for such repairs, and
the uncertainty as to the interpretation of such language under the laws of the states governing those leases. Furthermore, the
potential liability associated with any structural repair obligations is currently unknown and difficult to estimate. We may not
have sufficient reserves, and the applicable indemnity under the merger agreement may be inadequate, to cover such
obligations. An increase in the cost of parking services could reduce our gross profit derived from locations that we operate
under leases. As of December 31, 2012, we operated 22% of our locations under leases, compared to 9% prior to the Central
Merger.
The Central Merger resulted in changes to our board that may affect our strategy and operations.
Following the Central Merger, our board increased from five to eight directors and three new directors designated
for appointment to our board by former Central stockholders became members of our board. This new composition of our
board may affect our business strategy and operating decisions. In addition, there can be no assurances that the new board
will function effectively as a team and that there will not be any adverse effects on our business as a result.
The disposition of contracts required under our agreement with the DOJ in connection with the Central Merger could
have an adverse effect on us.
On September 26, 2012, the United States Department of Justice filed suit in the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia challenging the Central Merger under U.S. antitrust law. Simultaneously with the filing of the lawsuit,
DOJ filed papers settling the case. The terms of the settlement were set forth in an Asset Preservation Stipulation and Order,
which was signed by the Court, and a Proposed Final Judgment, which was subsequently entered as a Final Judgment by the
Court. Under the terms of those documents we are divesting (or have already divested) contracts covering 107 off-street
parking facilities. As of March 12, 2013, 100 divestitures had been completed. The contracts, which include both leases and
management agreements, have been or will be sold, terminated or permitted to expire without renewal. The divestitures of the
contracts required by these agreements could have an adverse effect on our revenues.
We must comply with public and private regulations that may impose significant costs on us.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner
or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under
or in such property. These laws typically impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. We may be potentially liable for such costs as a result of
our operation of parking facilities. Additionally, Central previously owned a large number of real properties and we acquired
a partial ownership interest in six parking facilities as part of the Central Merger. We may now be liable for such costs as a
result of such previous and current ownership. In addition, from time to time we are involved in environmental issues at
certain locations or in connection with our operations. The cost of defending against claims of liability, or remediation of a
contaminated property, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In
addition, several state and local laws have been passed in recent years that encourage car pooling and the use of mass transit.
Laws and regulations that reduce the number of cars and vehicles being driven could adversely impact our business.
In connection with certain transportation services provided to our clients, including shuttle bus operations, we
provide the vehicles and the drivers to operate these transportation services. The U.S. Department of Transportation and
various state agencies exercise broad powers over these transportation services, including, licensing and authorizations, safety
and insurance requirements. Our employee drivers must also comply with the safety and fitness regulations promulgated by
the Department of Transportation, including those related to drug and alcohol testing and service hours. We may become
subject to new and more restrictive federal and state regulations. Compliance with such regulations could hamper our ability
to provide qualified drivers and increase our operating costs.
We are also subject to consumer credit laws and credit card industry rules and regulations relating to the processing
of credit card transactions, including the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act and the Payment Card Data Security
Standard. This law and these industry rules impose substantial financial penalties for non-compliance.
In addition, we are subject to laws generally applicable to businesses, including but not limited to federal, state and
local regulations relating to wage and hour matters, employee classification, mandatory healthcare benefits, unlawful
workplace discrimination and whistle blowing. Any actual or alleged failure to comply with any regulation applicable to our
business or any whistle-blowing claim, even if without merit, could result in costly litigation, regulatory action or otherwise
harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We collect and remit sales/parking taxes and file tax returns for and on behalf of ourselves and our clients. We are
affected by laws and regulations that may impose a direct assessment on us for failure to remit sales/parking taxes and filing
of tax returns for ourselves and on behalf of our clients.
The financial difficulties or bankruptcy of one or more of our major clients could adversely affect our results.
Future revenue and our ability to collect accounts receivable depend, in part, on the financial strength of our clients.
We estimate an allowance for accounts we do not consider collectible, and this allowance adversely impacts profitability. In
the event that our clients experience financial difficulty, become unable to obtain financing or seek bankruptcy protection,
our profitability would be further impacted by our failure to collect accounts receivable in excess of the estimated allowance.
Additionally, our future revenue would be reduced by the loss of these clients or by the cancellation of leases or management
contracts by clients in bankruptcy.
We are subject to intense competition that could constrain our ability to gain business, as well as our profitability.
We believe that competition in parking facility management and ancillary services is intense. The low cost of entry
into the parking facility management business has led to a strongly competitive, fragmented market consisting primarily of a
variety of entities ranging from single lot operators to large regional and national multi-facility operators, as well as
municipal and other governmental entities that choose not to outsource their parking operations. Competitors may be able to
adapt more quickly to changes in customer requirements, or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their
services. We provide nearly all of our services under contracts, many of which are obtained through competitive bidding, and
many of our competitors also have long-standing relationships with our clients. Providers of parking facility management
services have traditionally competed on the basis of cost and quality of service. As we have worked to establish ourselves as
principal members of the industry, we compete predominately on the basis of high levels of service and strong relationships.
We may not be able to, or may choose not to, compete with certain competitors on the basis of price. As a result, a greater
proportion of our clients may switch to other service providers or self-manage. Furthermore, these strong competitive
pressures could impede our success in bidding for profitable business and our ability to increase prices even as costs rise,
thereby reducing margins.
Additional funds would need to be reserved for future insurance losses if such losses are worse than expected.
We provide liability and worker’s compensation insurance coverage consistent with our obligations to our clients
under our various management contracts and leases. We are obligated to reimburse our insurance carriers for each loss
incurred up to the amount of a specified deductible. The per-occurrence deductible (or in some cases self-insured retention)
for our various liability and workers’ compensation policies is $250,000. We also purchase property insurance that provides
coverage for loss or damage to our property, and in some cases our clients’ property, as well as business interruption
coverage for lost operating income and certain associated expenses. The deductible applicable to any given loss under the
property insurance policies varies based upon the insured values and the peril that causes the loss. The stop-loss limit
applicable under the group health insurance we provide for employees paid through the Central payroll system is $175,000
per illness. Our financial statements reflect our funding of all such obligations based upon guidance and evaluation received
from third-party insurance professionals. There can be no assurance, however, that the ultimate amount of our obligations
will not exceed the amount presently funded or accrued, in which case we would need to set aside additional funds to reserve
for any such excess. Changes in insurance reserves as a result of periodic evaluations of the liabilities can cause swings in
operating results that may not be indicative of the operations of our ongoing business. Additionally, our obligations could
increase if we receive a greater number of insurance claims, or if the severity of, or the administrative costs associated with,
those claims generally increases. A material increase in insurance costs due to a change in the number or severity of claims,
claim costs or premiums paid by us could have a material adverse effect on our operating income.
Labor disputes could lead to loss of revenues or expense variations.
At December 31, 2012, approximately 30% of our employees were represented by labor unions and approximately
25% of our collective bargaining contracts were up for renewal in 2013, representing approximately 4% of our employees. In
addition, at any given time, we may face a number of union organizing drives.
When one or more of our major collective bargaining agreements becomes subject to renegotiation or when we face
union organizing drives, we may disagree with the union on important issues that, in turn, could lead to a strike, work
slowdown or other job actions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to renew existing labor union contracts on
acceptable terms. In such cases, there are no assurances that we would be able to staff sufficient employees for our short-term
needs. A strike, work slowdown or other job action could in some cases disrupt us from providing services, resulting in
reduced revenues. If declines in client service occur or if our clients are targeted for sympathy strikes by other unionized
workers, contract cancellations could result. The result of negotiating a first time agreement or renegotiating an existing
collective bargaining agreement could result in a substantial increase in labor and benefits expenses that we may be unable to
pass through to clients. In addition, potential legislation could make it significantly easier for union organizing drives to be
successful and could give third-party arbitrators the ability to impose terms of collective bargaining agreements upon us and a
labor union if we are unable to agree with such union on the terms of a collective bargaining agreement.
In addition, we make contributions to multiemployer benefit plans on behalf of certain employees covered by
collective bargaining agreements and could be responsible for paying unfunded liabilities incurred by such benefit plans,
which amount could be material.
Natural disasters or acts of terrorism, including cyber terrorism, could disrupt services.
Hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, drought, floods or other natural disasters or acts of terrorism may result in reduced
revenues. Disasters may also cause economic dislocations throughout the country. Acts of cyber terrorism involve the
premeditated use of disruptive activities, or the threat thereof, involving computers and/or networks, with the intention to
cause harm or further social, ideological, religious, political or similar objectives. The occurrence of acts of cyber terrorism
such as website defacement, denial of automated payment services, sabotage of our proprietary on-demand technology or the
use of electronic social media to disseminate unfounded or otherwise harmful allegations to our reputation, could have a
material adverse effect on our business. In addition, terrorist attacks have resulted in, and may continue to result in, increased
government regulation of airlines and airport facilities, including imposition of minimum distances between parking facilities
and terminals, resulting in the elimination of currently managed parking facilities. We derive a significant percentage of our
gross profit from parking facilities and parking related services in and around airports. The Federal Aviation Administration
generally prohibits parking within 300 feet of airport terminals during periods of heightened security. While the prohibition is
not currently in effect, there can be no assurance that this governmental prohibition will not again be reinstated. The existing
regulations governing parking within 300 feet of airport terminals or future regulations may prevent us from using certain
parking spaces. Reductions in the number of parking spaces and air travelers may reduce our revenue and cash flow for both
our leased facilities and those facilities we operate under management contracts.
State and municipal government clients may sell or enter into long-term leases of parking-related assets to our
competitors.
In order to raise additional revenue, a number of state and municipal governments have either sold or entered into
long-term leases of public assets or may be contemplating such transactions. The assets that are the subject of such
transactions have included government-owned parking garages located in downtown commercial districts and parking
operations at airports. The sale or long-term leasing of such government-owned parking assets to our competitors or clients of
our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact our ability to collect receivables on a timely basis and our cash
flow.
The U.S. and global economies and the financial and credit markets continue to experience slow growth, and there
continues to be diminished liquidity and credit availability in certain sectors. In addition, the tightening of credit in financial
markets may adversely affect the ability of our clients to obtain financing, which could adversely impact our ability to collect
amounts due from such clients or result in a decrease, or cancellation, of our services under our client contracts. Declines in
our ability to collect receivables or in the level of client spending could adversely affect the results of our operations and our
liquidity.
Our ability to expand our business will be dependent upon the availability of adequate capital.
The rate of our expansion will depend in part on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn will depend in
large part on cash flow generated by our business and the availability of equity and debt capital. In addition, our senior credit
facility contains provisions that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and/or make substantial investments or
acquisitions. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to finance our current growth strategy.
The sureties for our performance bond program may elect not to provide us with new or renewal performance bonds for
any reason.
As is customary in the industry, a surety provider can refuse to provide a bond principal with new or renewal surety
bonds. If any existing or future surety provider refuses to provide us with surety bonds, either generally or because we are
unwilling or unable to post collateral at levels sufficient to satisfy the surety’s requirements, there can be no assurance that
we would be able to find alternate providers on acceptable terms, or at all. Our inability to provide surety bonds could also
result in the loss of existing contracts. Failure to find a provider of surety bonds, and our resulting inability to bid for new
contracts or renew existing contracts, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Federal health care reform legislation may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation
Act of 2010 were signed into law in the U.S. (collectively, the “Health Care Reform Laws”). The Health Care Reform Laws
include a large number of health-related provisions that become effective over the next four years, including requiring most
individuals to have health insurance and establishing new regulations on health plans. Although the Health Care Reform
Laws do not mandate that employers offer health insurance, beginning in 2014, penalties will be assessed on large employers
who do not offer health insurance that meets certain affordability or benefit requirements. Providing such additional health
insurance benefits to our employees, or the payment of penalties if such coverage is not provided, would increase our
expenses. If we are unable to raise the rates we charge our clients to cover this expense, such increases in expense could
reduce our operating profit.
In addition, under the Health Care Reform Laws, employers will have to file a significant amount of additional
information with the Internal Revenue Service and will have to develop systems and processes to track requisite information.
We will have to modify our current systems, which could increase our general and administrative expense.
We do not maintain insurance coverage for all possible risks.
We maintain a comprehensive portfolio of insurance policies to help protect us against loss or damage incurred from
a wide variety of insurable risks. Each year, we review with our professional insurance advisers whether the insurance
policies and associated coverages that we maintain are sufficient to adequately protect us from the various types of risk to
which we are exposed in the ordinary course of business. That analysis takes into account various pertinent factors such as
the likelihood that we would incur a material loss from any given risk, as well as the cost of obtaining insurance coverage
against any such risk. While we believe that we maintain a comprehensive portfolio of insurance that is consistent with
customary business practices and adequately protects us from the risks that we typically face in the ordinary course of
business, there can be no assurance that we may not sustain a material loss for which we do not maintain any, or adequate,
insurance coverage.

We have interest in fifteen joint ventures, seven limited liability companies, twelve general partnerships, and one
limited partnership that each operate between one and thirty-five parking facilities.
In addition, as part of the Central Merger, we acquired a partial ownership six parking facilities.
For additional information, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations—Summary of Operating Facilities.”
Office Leases
We lease approximately 24,000 square feet for our corporate offices in Chicago, Illinois. The lease expires in
September, 2013. We have signed a lease for approximately 35,000 square feet in a different building effective when our
current lease terminates. We believe this space, augmented by a right of first offer on additional space, will be adequate to
meet our current and foreseeable future needs.
We also lease approximately 40,000 square feet for our Support Office in Nashville, Tennessee. The lease expires in
2014. We are currently assessing various options for office space to ensure that when the current lease expires we will have
adequate facilities to meet current and foreseeable future needs.
We also lease regional offices in various cities. These lease agreements generally include renewal and expansion
options, and we believe that these facilities are adequate to meet our current and foreseeable future needs.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to litigation in the normal course of our business. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims
brought against us and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. We accrue a charge against income
when our management determines that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we accrue for the authoritative judgments or assertions made against
us by government agencies at the time of their rendering regardless of our intent to appeal. In determining the appropriate
accounting for loss contingencies, we consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability,
as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to
determine whether an accrual should be established or adjusted. Estimating the probability that a loss will occur and
estimating the amount of a loss or a range of loss involves significant judgment.

Reflects the retrospective adoption, effective January 1, 2009, of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting
Standards Codification Topic 810, Consolidation (formerly FAS 160) (“ASC 810”). Upon adoption of ASC 810, we
reclassified minority interests in our consolidated balance sheet from accrued expenses to noncontrolling interests in
the equity section. Additionally, we changed the way noncontrolling interests are presented within the consolidated
statement of income such that the statement of income reflects results attributable to both our interests and
noncontrolling interests. While the accounting provisions of ASC 810 are being applied prospectively beginning
January 1, 2009, the presentation and disclosure requirements have been applied retrospectively. The results
attributable to our interests did not change upon the adoption of ASC 810.
Net income attributable to Standard Parking Corporation includes the following significant amounts from the
Central Merger: Total revenue, excluding reimbursed revenue, of $127.8 million; Total cost of parking services,
excluding reimbursed expense, of $190.0 million; and General and administrative expenses of $24.6 million.
Includes total assets as of December 31, 2012 included the impact of the addition of significant assets acquired in
the Central Merger of $624.9 million.
Total long-term debt, including current portion as of December 31, 2012, includes $217.7 million of debt, net of
cash acquired, assumed in the Central Merger.
Total Standard Parking Corporation stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2012 includes approximately
$140.7 million related to the issuance of our common stock for the Central Merger.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with the “Selected Financial
Data” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein. This discussion contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth in
Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein.
Explanatory Note
On October 2, 2012, we completed our acquisition (the “Central Merger”) of Central Parking Corporation
(“Central”). Central, together with its affiliates, was a leading provider of parking and related services, which operated
parking facilities in 38 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and provided ancillary products and services,
including parking consulting, shuttle, valet, on-street and parking meter enforcement and billing and collection services. Our
consolidated results of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 include Central’s results of operations for
the period October 2, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Our consolidated results of operations for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010 do not include amounts related to Central’s results of operations.
Overview
Our Business
We manage parking facilities in urban markets and at airports across the United States, Puerto Rico and in four
Canadian provinces. We typically enter into contractual relationships with property owners or managers as opposed to
owning facilities.
We operate our clients’ properties through two types of arrangements: management contracts and leases. Under a
management contract, we typically receive a base monthly fee for managing the facility, and we may also receive an
incentive fee based on the achievement of facility performance objectives. We also receive fees for ancillary services.
Typically, all of the underlying revenues and expenses under a standard management contract flow through to our clients
rather than to us. However, some management contracts, which are referred to as “reverse” management contracts, usually
provide for larger management fees and require us to pay various costs. Under lease arrangements, we generally pay to the
property owner either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer collections or a combination thereof. We collect all
revenues under lease arrangements and we are responsible for most operating expenses, but we are typically not responsible
for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. Margins for lease contracts vary significantly, not only due to
operating performance, but also due to variability of parking rates in different cities and varying space utilization by parking
facility type and location. As of December 31, 2012, we operated 78% of our locations under management contracts and 22%
under leases.
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management’s primary focus is on our gross profit,
total general and administrative expense and general and administrative expense as a percentage of our gross profit. Although
the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we are required to
account for them differs. Revenue from leases includes all gross customer collections derived from our leased locations (net
of parking tax), whereas revenue from management contracts only includes our contractually agreed upon management fees
and amounts attributable to ancillary services. Gross customer collections at facilities under management contracts, therefore,
are not included in our revenue. Accordingly, while a change in the proportion of our operating agreements that are structured
as leases versus management contracts may cause significant fluctuations in reported revenue and expense of parking
services, that change will not artificially affect our gross profit. For example, excluding Central as of December 31, 2012,
91% of our locations were operated under management contracts and 86.4% of our gross profit for the year ended
December 31, 2012 was derived from management contracts. Excluding Central, only 52.7% of total revenue (excluding
reimbursed management contract revenue), however, was from management contracts because under those contracts the
revenue collected from parking customers belongs to our clients. Therefore, gross profit and total general and administrative
expense, rather than revenue, are management’s primary focus.
Business Developments
In addition to the Central Merger completed on October 2, 2012, recent business developments included the
following:
We have significant operations in New Jersey, New York and other areas that have been impacted by Hurricane
Sandy. Although it is premature to quantify the total reduction in revenues or net income related to Hurricane Sandy, we
expect that our business and financial results will be adversely impacted. We have engaged forensic accountants to assist in
the process of identifying and quantifying the total revenue reduction and property damage that we have sustained from the
hurricane. As of March 6, 2013, no amounts have been recorded related to the deductible portion of our casualty insurance
program that we expect to incur in connection with the hurricane-related insurance claim that we will file.
On September 26, 2012, the United States Department of Justice filed suit in the United District Court for the
District of Columbia challenging the Central Merger under U.S. antitrust law. Simultaneously with the filing of the lawsuit,
DOJ filed papers settling the case. The terms of the settlement were set forth in an Asset Preservation Stipulation and Order,
which was signed by the Court, and a Proposed Final Judgment, which was subsequently entered as a Final Judgment by the
Court. Under the terms of those documents we are divesting (or have already divested) contracts covering 107 off-street
parking facilities. As of March 12, 2013, 100 divestitures had been completed. The contracts, which include both leases and
management agreements, have been or will be sold, terminated or permitted to expire without renewal. The divestitures of the
contracts required by these agreements could have an adverse effect on our revenues.
General Business Trends
We believe that sophisticated commercial real estate developers and property managers and owners recognize the
potential for parking and related services to be a profit generator rather than a cost center. Often, the parking experience
makes both the first and the last impressions on their properties’ tenants and visitors. By outsourcing these services, they are
able to capture additional profit by leveraging the unique operational skills and controls that an experienced parking
management company can offer. Our ability to consistently deliver a uniformly high level of parking and related services and
maximize the profit to our clients improves our ability to win contracts and retain existing locations. Our location retention
rate, excluding Central, for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was approximately
89% and 91%, respectively, which also reflects our decision not to renew, or terminate, unprofitable contracts and sales
required to be made by the Department of Justice in connection with the Central Merger.
Excluding Central, for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011, average
gross profit per location did not change significantly from $41.1 thousand in 2011 compared to $41.7 thousand in 2012.
Summary of Operating Facilities
We focus our operations in core markets where a concentration of locations improves customer service levels and
operating margins. The following table reflects our facilities operated at the end of the years indicated:

Includes 1,388 Managed facilities, 754 Leased facilities and 2,142 Total facilities acquired in the Central Merger.
We have partial ownership interest in four Lease facilities and two Managed facilities acquired in the Central
Merger.
Revenue
We recognize parking services revenue from lease and management contracts as the related services are provided.
Substantially all of our revenues come from the following two sources:
• Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Parking services revenues related to lease contracts consist of all
revenue received at a leased facility, including parking receipts (net of parking tax), consulting and real estate
development fees, gains on sales of contracts and payments for exercising termination rights.
• Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue consists of management fees,
including both fixed and performance-based fees, and amounts attributable to ancillary services such as
accounting, equipment leasing, payments received for exercising termination rights, consulting, development
fees, gains on sales of contracts, insurance and other value-added services with respect to managed locations.
We believe we generally purchase required insurance at lower rates than our clients can obtain on their own
because we effectively self-insure for all liability and worker’s compensation claims by maintaining a large per-
claim deductible. As a result, we have generated operating income on the insurance provided under our
management contracts by focusing on our risk management efforts and controlling losses. Management contract
revenues do not include gross customer collections at the managed locations as this revenue belongs to the
property owner rather than to us. Management contracts generally provide us with a management fee regardless
of the operating performance of the underlying facility.
Conversions between type of contracts, lease or management, are typically determined by our clients and not us.
Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we account
for them differs substantially.
Reimbursed Management Contract Revenue
Reimbursed management contract revenue consists of the direct reimbursement from the property owner for
operating expenses incurred under a management contract, which is reflected in our revenue.
Cost of Parking Services
Our cost of parking services consists of the following:
• Cost of parking services—lease contracts. The cost of parking services under a lease arrangement consists of
contractual rental fees paid to the facility owner and all operating expenses incurred in connection with
operating the leased facility. Contractual fees paid to the facility owner are generally based on either a fixed
contractual amount or a percentage of gross revenue or a combination thereof. Generally, under a lease
arrangement we are not responsible for major capital expenditures or real estate taxes.
• Cost of parking services—management contracts. The cost of parking services under a management contract is
generally the responsibility of the facility owner. As a result, these costs are not included in our results of
operations. However, our reverse management contracts, which typically provide for larger management fees,
do require us to pay for certain costs.
Reimbursed Management Contract Expense
Reimbursed management contract expense consists of direct reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of property owners
under a management contract, which is reflected in our cost of parking services.
Gross Profit
Gross profit equals our revenue less the cost of generating such revenue. This is the key metric we use to examine
our performance because it captures the underlying economic benefit to us of both lease contracts and management contracts.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages, payroll taxes, insurance, travel and office related
expenses for our headquarters, field offices, supervisory employees, and board of directors.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is determined using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various asset classes or
in the case of leasehold improvements, over the initial term of the operating lease or its useful life, whichever is shorter.
Intangible assets determined to have finite lives are amortized over their remaining useful life.
Results of Operations
Fiscal 2012 Compared to Fiscal 2011
As noted previously, the financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012 include only approximately three
months of operations related to the acquired Central operations due to the timing of the closing of the Central Merger on
October 2, 2012. The financial results for the year ended December 31, 2011 do not include any amounts related to Central.
To help understand the operating results for the periods, the term “Central operations” refers to the results of Central on a
stand-alone basis for the period from October 2, 2012 to December 31, 2012 and the term “Standard operations” refers to the
results of Standard on a stand-alone basis and not inclusive of results from the acquired operations of Central for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2012.
Segments
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it
may earn revenue and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by our chief
operating decision maker, in deciding how to allocate resources. Our chief operating decision maker is our president and
chief executive officer.
Our business is managed based on regions administered by executive vice presidents. The following is a summary of
revenues (excluding reimbursed management contract revenue) by region for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Information related to prior years has been recast to conform to the current regional alignment.
Region One encompasses operations in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North
Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Region Two encompasses event planning and transportation, and our technology- based parking and traffic
management systems.
Region Three encompasses operations in Canada, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Region Four encompasses all major airport and transportation operations nationwide.
Region Five encompasses Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico,
Tennessee, and Texas.
“Other” consists of ancillary revenue that is not specifically identifiable to a region and insurance reserve
adjustments related to prior years.
The following tables present the material factors that impact our financial statements on an operating segment basis.

Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Lease contract revenue increased $102.9 million, or 69.8%, to
$250.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $147.5 million for the year-ago period. The increase in
lease contract revenue consisted of an increase from the Standard operations of $19.2 million, or 13.0%, and $83.7 million
from the Central operations. The increase resulted primarily from increases in revenue from new locations and acquisitions,
partially offset by decreases in revenue from contract expirations and fewer locations that converted from management
contracts during the current year. Same location revenue for those facilities, which as of December 31, 2012 are the
comparative periods for the two years presented, increased 6.7%. The increase in same location revenue was due to increases
in short-term parking revenue of $7.9 million, or 8.0%, and increases in monthly parking revenue of $1.2 million, or 3.0%.
Revenue associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that expired during the current period.
Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue increased $56.8 million, or
32.7%, to $230.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $173.7 million for the year-ago period. The
increase in management contact revenue consisted of an increase from the Standard operations of $12.7 million, or 7.3%, and
$44.1 million from the Central operations. The increase resulted primarily from increases in revenue from new locations,
acquisitions and conversions, which was partially offset by the decrease in contract expirations. Same location revenue for
those facilities, which as of December 31, 2012 are the comparative periods for the two years presented, increased 5.9%,
primarily due to increased fees from reverse management locations and ancillary services.
Reimbursed management contract revenue. Reimbursed management contract revenue increased $64.7 million, or
15.8%, to $473.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $408.4 million in the year-ago period. This
increase resulted from an increase in reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of owners.
Lease contract revenue increased primarily due to new locations and same locations in regions one, three, four and
five, combined with acquisitions in regions one, two, three and five. This was partially offset by decreases in contract
expirations in regions one, three, four and five. Same location revenue increases for the aforementioned regions were
primarily due to increases in short-term and monthly parking revenue.
Management contract revenue increased primarily due to new locations and acquisitions in all five operating
regions, combined with same location revenue in regions one, three, four, five and other. This was partially offset by contract
expirations in all five operating regions and same locations in region two. The increases in same location revenue were
primarily due to an increase in fees from reverse management locations and ancillary services. For comparability purposes,
revenue associated with contract expirations relate to the contracts that expired during the current period.

Cost of parking services—lease contracts. Cost of parking services for lease contracts increased $93.8 million, or
68.7%, to $230.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $136.5 million for the year-ago period. The
increase in cost of parking services for lease contracts consisted of an increase from the Standard operations of $18.1 million,
or 13.3%, and $75.7 million from the Central operations. The increase resulted primarily from increases in costs from new
locations and acquisitions, which was partially offset by decreases in contract expirations and fewer locations that converted
from management contracts during the current year. Same location costs for those facilities, which as of December 31, 2012
are the comparative for the two years presented, increased 7.0%. Same location costs increased $9.4 million due to rent
expense, primarily as a result of contingent rental payments on the increase in revenue for same locations, payroll and payroll
related costs of $0.4 million, $0.1 million related to other operating costs, offset by $1.1 million due to a favorable health
insurance dividend related to prior years.
Cost of parking services—management contracts. Cost of parking services for management contracts increased
$44.6 million, or 46.4%, to $140.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $96.2 million for the year-ago
period. The increase in cost of parking services for management contracts consisted of an increase from the Standard
operations of $13.8 million, or 14.3%, and $30.8 million from the Central operations. The increase resulted from increases in
costs related to new reverse management locations and acquisitions, which was partially offset by decreases in contract
expirations. Same location costs for those facilities, which as of December 31, 2012 are the comparative for the two years
presented, increased 9.5%. Same location increase in operating expenses for management contracts primarily resulted from
increases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services. Same
location cost also includes an unfavorable change in net insurance loss experience reserve estimates relating to prior years of
$0.6 million and a favorable health insurance dividend related to prior years of $0.9 million.
Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract revenue increased $64.7 million, or
15.8%, to $473.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $408.4 million in the year-ago period. This
increase resulted from an increase in reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of owners.
Cost of parking services for lease contracts increased primarily due to new locations and same locations in regions
one, three, four and five, combined with acquisitions in regions one, two, three and five, which was partially offset by
contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five, conversions in region one, same locations in the other region and
acquisitions in regions four and other. Same location cost increased primarily due to increases in contingent rent payments on
the increase in revenue, payroll and payroll related costs, other operating costs, offset by a favorable health insurance
dividend related to prior years. The other region amounts in same location primarily represent a favorable health insurance
dividend related to prior years and costs that are not specifically identifiable to a region.
Cost of parking services for management contracts increased due to new locations and acquisitions in all five
operating regions, combined with increases in same locations in regions one, three, four, five, and other, contract expirations
in regions two. Partially offsetting, were decreases due to contract expirations in regions one, three and four, and same
locations and acquisitions in the other region. Same location cost increases primarily resulted from increases in costs
associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services. The other region amounts in
same location primarily represent prior year insurance reserve adjustments, a favorable health insurance dividend related to
prior years and costs that are not specifically identifiable to a region.

Gross profit—lease contracts. Gross profit for lease contracts increased $9.1 million, or 82.7%, to $20.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $11.0 million for year-ago period. The increase in gross profit for lease
contracts consisted of an increase from the Standard operations of $1.1 million, or 10%, and $8.0 million from the Central
operations. Gross profit percentage for lease contracts increased to 8.0% for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to
7.5% for the year-ago period. Gross profit lease contracts increases were primarily the result of new locations, same
locations, acquisitions and conversions, partially offset by contract expirations. Gross profit lease contracts increases on same
locations were primarily the result of increases in short-term and monthly parking revenue and a favorable health insurance
dividend related to prior years. Gross profit percentage on acquisitions and new locations accounted for most of the increase
on a percentage basis.
Gross profit—management contracts. Gross profit for management contracts increased $12.2 million, or 15.7%, to
$89.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $77.5 million in for the year-ago period. The increase in
gross profit for management contracts consisted of a decrease from the Standard operations of $1.1 million, or 1.4%, and an
increase of $13.3 million from Central operations. Gross profit percentage for management contracts decreased to 42.5% for
the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to 44.6% for the year-ago period. Gross profit for management contracts
increases were primarily the result of new locations, acquisitions and conversions, offset by same locations and contract
expirations. Gross profit management contracts decreases on same locations were primarily the result of increases in costs
associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services. Gross profit percentage on
same locations and contract expirations accounted for most of the decline on a percentage basis.
Gross profit for lease contracts increased primarily due to new locations in regions one and five, conversions in
region one, same locations in regions three, four, five and other, contract expirations in region four and acquisitions in all
regions. Partially offsetting, were contract expirations and same locations in region one, and new locations in region three.
Gross profit lease contracts on same locations increased primarily due to increases in short-term and monthly parking
revenue and a favorable health insurance dividend related to prior years.
Gross profit for management contracts increased primarily due to new locations in all five operating regions,
conversions and same locations in region one, contract expirations in region two and acquisitions in all regions. Partially
offsetting, were contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five, combined with same locations in regions two, three,
four, five and other. Gross profit for management contracts decreases on same locations were primarily the result of increases
in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing management services. The other region
amounts in same location primarily represent prior year insurance reserve adjustments, a favorable health insurance dividend
related to prior years and amounts that are not specifically identifiable to a specific region.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $38.4 million, or 79.4%, to
$86.7 million for year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $48.3 million for the year-ago period. This increase was
primarily related to professional fees incurred in connection with the merger with Central of $26.9 million, additional RSU
grants of $0.7 million, the addition of general and administrative expenses related to Central of $14.5 million partially offset
by cost savings from process efficiencies of $1.8 million, acquisition earn-out liability valuation changes of $0.7 million and
a favorable health insurance dividend related to prior years of $1.2 million.
Interest expense. Interest expense increased $3.7 million, or 80.1%, to $8.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2012, as compared to $4.7 million in the year-ago period. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in borrowings and
the write-off of our interest rate cap in connection with the extinguishment of debt related to our former Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2008.
Interest income. Interest income decreased $0.1 million, or 28.9%, to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31,
2012, as compared to $0.5 million in the year-ago period. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in interest income
received on deficiency payments related to Bradley.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased $13.6 million, or 121.1%, to a tax benefit of $2.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $11.2 million of tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our
effective tax rate was (133.3)% for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 38.1% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The
$2.4 million tax benefit was primarily due to the reversal of a FIN 48 tax reserve in the amount of $8.1 million which was
offset with $5.7 million of tax expense.

Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Lease contract revenue increased $8.8 million, or 6.3%, to
$147.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $138.7 million in the year-ago period. The increase
resulted primarily from increases in revenue from new locations and conversions from management contracts, partially offset
by decreases in revenue from contract expirations. Same location revenue for those facilities, which as of December 31, 2011
are the comparative periods for the two years presented, increased 3.4%. The increase in same location revenue was due to
increases in short-term parking revenue of $3.3 million, or 3.6%, and increases in monthly parking revenue of $1.0 million,
or 2.7%. Revenue associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that expired during the current period.
Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue increased $2.4 million, or 1.4%,
to $173.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $171.3 million in the year-ago period. The increase
resulted primarily from new locations, which was offset by the decrease in revenue from contract expirations and
conversions. Same locations revenue for those facilities, which as of December 31, 2011 are the comparative periods for the
two years presented, increased 6.1%, primarily due to increased fees from reverse management locations and ancillary
services.
Reimbursed management contract revenue. Reimbursed management contract revenue decreased $2.7 million, or
0.6%, to $408.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $411.1 million in the year-ago period. This
decrease resulted from a reduction in reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of owners.
Lease contract revenue increased primarily due to conversions and new locations in regions one and three, combined
with same location revenue in regions one, three, four and five. This was partially offset by decreases in contract expirations
in regions one, three, four and five. Same location revenue increases for the aforementioned regions were primarily due to
increases in short-term parking revenue and monthly parking revenue.
Management contract revenue increased primarily due to new location revenue in all five operating regions and
same location revenue in regions one, two, three and other. This was offset with by contract expirations in all five operating
regions, conversion in regions one and three and same location revenue declines in regions four and five. The increases in
same location revenue were primarily due to an increase in fees from reverse management locations and ancillary services.
For comparability purposes, revenue associated with contract expirations relate to the contracts that expired during the
current period.

Cost of parking services—lease contracts. Cost of parking services for lease contracts increased $7.9 million, or
6.1%, to $136.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $128.6 million for the year-ago period. The
increase resulted primarily from increases in costs from new locations and conversions from management contracts, which
were partially offset by decreases in contract expirations. Same location costs for those facilities, which as of December 31,
2011 are the comparative for the two years presented, increased 3.2%. Same location costs increased $0.3 million due to
payroll and payroll-related expenses, $2.8 million due to rent expense, primarily as a result of contingent rental payments on
the increase in revenue for same locations, and $0.6 million related to other operating costs.
Cost of parking services—management contracts. Cost of parking services for management contracts increased
$1.7 million, or 1.8%, to $96.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $94.5 million for the year-ago
period. The increase resulted from increases in costs related to new reverse management locations, which was offset by the
decrease in costs from contract expirations. Same location costs for those facilities, which as of December 31, 2011 are the
comparative for the two years presented, increased 5.8%. Same location increase in operating expenses for management
contracts primarily resulted from increases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing
management services. Same location cost also includes a favorable change in net insurance loss experience reserve estimates
relating to prior years of $0.5 million and a favorable health insurance dividend received relating to prior years of
$0.8 million.
Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expense decreased $2.7 million, or
0.7%, to $408.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $411.1 million in the year-ago period. This
decrease resulted from a reduction in reimbursed cost incurred on the behalf of owners.
Cost of parking services for lease contracts increased primarily due to new locations in regions one and three,
combined with same locations in regions one, three, four and five and conversion in regions one and three, which was
partially offset by contract expirations in regions one, three, four and five. Same location cost increased primarily due to
increases in payroll, payroll related costs, increases in contingent rent payments on the increase in revenue, and other
operating costs.
Cost of parking services for management contracts increased in all five operating regions due to new locations,
combined with increases in same locations for regions one, two and three. Partially offsetting, were decreases due to contract
expirations in all five operating regions and same locations in regions four, five and other. Same location cost increases
primarily resulted from increases in costs associated with reverse management contracts and the cost of providing
management services. The other region amounts in same location primarily represent prior year insurance reserve
adjustments and costs that are not specifically identifiable to a region.

Gross profit—lease contracts. Gross profit for lease contracts increased $0.9 million, or 8.9%, to $11.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $10.1 million for the year-ago period. Gross profit percentage for lease
contracts increased to 7.5% for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to 7.3% for the year-ago period. Gross profit
lease contracts increases were primarily the result of new locations and conversions, partially offset by contract expirations.
Gross profit lease contracts increases on same locations were primarily the result of increases in short-term and monthly
parking revenue. Gross profit percentage on same locations and conversions accounted for most of the increase on a
percentage basis.
Gross profit—management contracts. Gross profit for management contracts increased $0.7 million, or 0.9%, to
$77.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $76.8 million in for the year-ago period. Gross profit
percentage for management contracts decreased to 44.6% for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to 44.8% for the
year-ago period. Gross profit for management contracts increases were primarily the result of new locations and same
locations, offset by contract expirations and conversions. Gross profit management contracts increases on same locations
were primarily the result of increased revenue associated with increased fees from reverse management locations and
ancillary services.
Gross profit for lease contracts increased primarily due to new locations in region one, same locations in region one,
three and five and conversions in regions one and three. Partially offsetting, were contract expirations in regions one, three
and four and same locations in four and other. Gross profit lease contracts on same locations increased primarily due to
increases in short-term and monthly parking revenue.
Gross profit for management contracts increased primarily due to same locations in regions one, three, and other,
new locations in regions one, two, three and five, offset by contract expirations in all five operating regions, conversions in
regions one and three, and new locations in region four. Gross profit for management contracts increases on same locations
were primarily the result of increased revenue associated with increased fees from reverse management locations and
ancillary services. The other region amounts in same location primarily represent prior year insurance reserve adjustments
and amounts that are not specifically identifiable to a specific region.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.4 million, or 0.9%, to
$48.3 million for year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $47.9 million for the year-ago period. This increase was
primarily the result of acquisition and diligence related expenses of $3.2 million, offset by cost savings from process
efficiencies of $2.4 million, acquisition earn-out liability valuation changes of $0.3 million and payroll and payroll-related
expenses of $0.1 million.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $0.6 million, or 12.1%, to $4.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 2011, as compared to $5.3 million in the year-ago period. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in
borrowings.
Interest income. Interest income increased $0.3 million, or 116%, to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31,
2011, as compared to $0.2 million in the year-ago period. This increase resulted primarily from interest income received on
deficiency payments related to Bradley.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased $0.4 million, or 4.5%, to $11.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 2011, as compared to $10.8 million in the year-ago period. An increase in our pre-tax income resulted in a
$0.6 million increase in income tax expense and a decrease in our effective tax rate resulted in a $0.2 million decrease in
income tax expense. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2011 was 38.1% compared to 38.6% for the year-
ago period.
Unaudited Quarterly Results
The following table sets forth our unaudited quarterly consolidated statement of income data for the years ended
December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The unaudited quarterly information has been prepared on the same basis as the
annual financial information and, in management’s opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information for the quarters presented. Historically, our operating results have
varied from quarter to quarter and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations have been due to a
number of factors, including: general economic conditions in our markets; acquisitions; additions of contracts; expiration and
termination of contracts; conversion of lease contracts to management contracts; conversion of management contracts to lease
contracts and changes in terms of contracts that are retained and timing of general and administrative expenditures. The
operating results for any historical quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements stem from the cost of our parking services, our capital
expenditures, our income taxes, our share repurchases and our debt service. Our primary sources of liquidity have been from
sales of our parking services and borrowings under our senior credit facility; and to a much lesser extent, cash from sales of
non-core assets and miscellaneous revenues.
Outstanding Indebtedness
On December 31, 2012, we had total indebtedness of approximately $314.1 million, an increase of $232.1 million
from December 31, 2011. The $314.1 million includes:
•
•
$312.8 million under our Senior Credit Facility (defined below); and
$1.3 million of other debt including capital lease obligations and obligations on seller notes and other
indebtedness.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, combined with additional borrowing capacity under our senior credit
facility, which amounted to $52.2 million at December 31, 2012, will be sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, or to
fund other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before their respective
maturities. We believe that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms.
Senior Credit Facility
On October 2, 2012, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 28, 2012, we
completed the Central Merger. Central stockholders received 6,161,332 shares of our common stock and we assumed
$217.7 million of Central’s debt net of cash acquired. Additionally, Central’s former stockholders will be entitled to receive
$27.0 million, subject to adjustment, to be paid three years after closing to the extent it is not used to satisfy indemnity
obligations.
In connection with the Central Merger, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) on February 28,
2012 with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-
syndication agents, U.S. Bank National Association, First Hawaiian Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation, as co-
documentation agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”).
Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to us
a new secured Senior Credit Facility (“Senior Credit Facility”) that permits aggregate borrowings of $450.0 million
consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200.0 million at any time outstanding, which includes a letter of credit
facility that is limited to $100.0 million at any time outstanding, and (ii) a term loan facility of $250.0 million. The Senior
Credit Facility matures on October 2, 2017.
We drew down the entire amount of the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility in connection with the
closing of the Central Merger. The $250.0 million obligation is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization of principal based
on the following amounts: (i) $22.5 million in the first year, (ii) $22.5 million in the second year, (iii) $30.0 million in the
third year, (iv) $30.0 million in the fourth year; and (v) $37.5 million in the fifth year. We also borrowed $72.8 million under
the revolving credit facility in connection with the Central Merger closing. We used the proceeds from these borrowings to
repay outstanding indebtedness of Standard and Central affiliates. The revolving credit facility has been and will also be used
to pay costs and expenses related to the Central Merger and the related financing and to fund ongoing working capital and
other general corporate purposes.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, (i) at a rate per annum based on our
consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio for the 12-month period ending as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal
quarter, determined in accordance with the applicable pricing levels set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Applicable
Margin”) for LIBOR loans, plus the applicable LIBOR rate or (ii) the Applicable Margin for base rate loans plus the highest
of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (y) the Bank of America prime rate and (z) a daily rate equal to the applicable LIBOR
rate plus 1.0%.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, we are required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to
EBITDA ratio of not greater than 4.5:1.0 (with certain step-downs described in the Credit Agreement). In addition, we are
required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:25:1.0 (with certain step-ups
described in the Credit Agreement).
Events of default under the Credit Agreement include failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply
with the financial and operational covenants, the occurrence of any cross default event, non-compliance with other loan
documents, the occurrence of a change of control event, and bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default
occurs and is continuing, the Lenders holding a majority of the commitments and outstanding term loan under the Credit
Agreement have the right, among others, to (i) terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement, (ii) accelerate and
require us to repay all the outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement and (iii) require us to cash collateralize any
outstanding letters of credit.
Each of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit Agreement) has
guaranteed all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of the other guarantors and Standard arising under the Credit
Agreement.
We are in compliance with all of our covenants as of December 31, 2012.
At December 31, 2012, we had $56.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility,
borrowings against the senior credit facility aggregated $312.8 million and we had $52.2 million available under the senior
credit facility.
Former Credit Agreement
On July 15, 2008, we amended and restated our credit facility (the “Former Credit Agreement”). This $210.0 million
revolving senior credit facility included a letter of credit sub-facility with a sublimit of $50.0 million and a swing line sub-
facility with a sublimit of $10.0 million. As of May 31, 2012, we entered into an amendment to extend the termination date
from June 29, 2013 to October 1, 2013.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, borrowings under the Former Credit Agreement totaling $71.8 million
were repaid. The Former Credit Agreement was replaced with the Senior Credit Agreement as described above. At
December 31, 2011, we had $16.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Former Credit Agreement, borrowings
against the Former Credit Agreement aggregated $80.0 million and we had $61.4 million available under the Former Credit
Agreement.
Interest Rate Swap Transactions
We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.
On October 25, 2012, we entered into interest rate swap transactions (collectively, the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with
each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate notional amount of
$150.0 million (the “Notional Amount”). The Interest Rate Swaps have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a
termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable
interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement, originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the
applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the Credit Agreement determined based upon Standard’s consolidated total
debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly
prepayments of principal under the Credit Agreement. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and we
calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in
earnings as an increase of interest expense. As of December 31, 2012, no ineffective portion the cash flow has been
recognized. The fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps at December 31, 2012 is $0.8 million and is included in other liabilities.
Stock Repurchases
In June 2011, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock, on the open market,
up to $20.0 million in aggregate and cancelled a prior authorization from 2008.
2012 Stock Repurchases
There were no stock repurchases for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, $12.5 million
remained available for stock repurchases under the June 2011 authorization by the Board of Directors.
2011 Stock Repurchases
In June 2011, our Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock, on the open market,
up to $20.0 million in aggregate and cancelled a prior authorization from 2008.
During the second quarter of 2011, we repurchased 27,803 shares from third-party shareholders at an average price
of $15.52 per share, including average commissions of $0.03 per share, on the open market. The total value of the second
quarter transactions was $0.4 million. At June 30, 2011, 27,803 shares were held as treasury stock. In July 2011 we returned
the shares to authorized and unissued.
During the third quarter of 2011, we repurchased 286,109 shares from third-party shareholders at an average price of
$16.08 per share, including average commissions of $0.03 per share, on the open market. The total value of the third quarter
transactions was $4.6 million. At September 30, 2011, 55,370 shares were held as treasury stock. In October 2011 we
returned the shares to authorized and unissued.
During the fourth quarter of 2011, we repurchased 147,600 shares from third-party shareholders at an average price
of $17.02 per share, including average commissions of $0.03 per share, on the open market. The total value of the fourth
quarter transactions was $2.5 million. At December 31, 2011, no shares were held as treasury stock and all repurchased
shares were returned to authorized and unissued.
Letters of Credit
At December 31, 2012, we have provided letters of credit totaling $43.7 million to our casualty insurance carriers to
collateralize our casualty insurance program.
As of December 31, 2012, we provided $12.3 million in letters of credit to collateralize other obligations.
Deficiency Payments
Pursuant to our obligations with respect to the parking garage operations at Bradley International Airport, we are
required to make certain payments for the benefit of the State of Connecticut and for holders of special facility revenue
bonds. The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing advances to the trustee to cover operating cash flow
requirements. The payments, if any, are recorded as a receivable by us for which we are reimbursed from time to time as
provided in the trust agreement. As of December 31, 2012, we have a receivable of $14.6 million, comprised of cumulative
deficiency payments to the trustee, net of reimbursements. We believe these advances to be fully recoverable and therefore
have not recorded a valuation allowance for them. We do not guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt
obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee.
We made deficiency payments (net of repayments received) of $1.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2012
compared to deficiency payments (net of repayments received) of $1.3 million made in the year ended December 31, 2011.
We did not receive any deficiency repayments from the trustee for premium income in the year ended December 31, 2012
compared to $0.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2011. We received $0.1 million in interest income on deficiency
repayments from the trustee in the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to $0.3 in the year ended December 31, 2011
(see Note P to our consolidated financial statements).
Lease Commitments
We have minimum lease commitments of $168.3 million for fiscal 2013. The leased properties generate sufficient
cash flow to meet the base rent payment.
Daily Cash Collections
As a result of day-to-day activity at our parking locations, we collect significant amounts of cash. Lease contract
revenue is generally deposited into our local bank accounts, with a portion remitted to our clients in the form of rental
payments according to the terms of the leases. Under management contracts, some clients require us to deposit the daily
receipts into one of our local bank accounts, with the cash in excess of our operating expenses and management fees remitted
to the clients at negotiated intervals. Other clients require us to deposit the daily receipts into client accounts and the clients
then reimburse us for operating expenses and pay our management fee subsequent to month-end. Some clients require a
segregated account for the receipts and disbursements at locations. Our working capital and liquidity may be adversely
affected if a significant number of our clients require us to deposit all parking revenues into their respective accounts.
Our liquidity also fluctuates on an intra-month and intra-year basis depending on the contract mix and timing of
significant cash payments. Additionally, our ability to utilize cash deposited into our local accounts is dependent upon the
availability and movement of that cash into our corporate account. For all these reasons, from time to time, we carry a
significant cash balance, while also utilizing our senior credit facility.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Our primary sources of funds are cash flows from operating activities and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $11.4 million for 2012, compared to $35.0 million for 2011. Cash provided
during 2012 included $30.6 million from operations which was partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities
that resulted in a use of $19.2 million. The net decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted primarily from;
(i) a decrease in accrued liabilities of $23.0 million primarily related to Central which included a reversal of a FIN 48 accrued
tax liability of $12.3 million, $10.7 million in reductions in accrued rents, payroll, property taxes and related benefits and
casualty loss reserves; (ii) an increase in notes and accounts receivables of $7.2 million; (iii) an increase in accounts payable
of $9.1 million which primarily resulted from the timing on payments to our clients and new business that are under
management contracts as described under “Daily Cash Collections”; and (iv) a net decrease in prepaid and other assets of
$1.9 million.
Our primary sources of funds are cash flows from operating activities and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $35.0 million for 2011, compared to $19.5 million for 2010. Cash provided
during 2011 included $31.0 million from operations and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $4.0 million. The net
increase in cash resulted primarily from (i) a decrease in notes and accounts receivable by $4.1 million which primarily
related to improved customer collections; (ii) an increase in accrued other liabilities of $0.6 million which primarily related
an increase in accrued rent partially offset by a decrease in other long-term liabilities; (iii) an increase in accounts payable by
$0.8 million which primarily resulted from the timing on payments to our clients and new business that are under
management contracts as described under “Daily Cash Collections”; offset by an increase of $0.2 million in prepaid assets
primarily related to an increase in prepaid rent and prepaid expenses related to event planning and transportation; and an
increase in other assets of $1.3 million primarily related to an increase in the cash surrender values related to the non-
qualified deferred compensation plan.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $21.2 million in 2012 compared to $5.3 million used in 2011. Cash
provided in 2012 included $27.7 million from the merger with Central which was offset by $5.0 million for capital
investments needed to secure and/or extend lease facilities, investment in information system enhancements and
infrastructure, cost of contract purchases of $1.2 million and $0.3 million for contingent payments on previously acquired
businesses.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $5.3 million in 2011 compared to $7.7 million in 2010. Cash used in
investing activities for 2011 included $4.2 million for capital investments needed to secure and/or extend lease facilities,
investment in information system enhancements and infrastructure, cost of contract purchases of $0.9 million, $0.3 million
for contingent payments on previously acquired businesses; partially offset by proceeds from the sale of assets of
$0.1 million.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $17.4 million in 2012 compared to $23.4 million in 2011. Cash used in
financing activities for 2012 included $237.1 million for payment on Central’s senior credit facility assumed from the Central
Merger, $71.8 million for payment on our Former Credit Agreement; $10.3 million in financing costs incurred on the new
Senior Credit Facility, $12.6 million in payments on the Senior Credit Facility, $5.6 million in payments on the term loan
facility, $2.1 million in earn-out payments, $0.9 million distributed to non-controlling interests, $0.5 million used for
payments on capital leases, and $0.2 million used for payments on other long-term borrowings. Cash provided consisted of
$250.0 million in proceeds from the term loan, $72.8 million from the new Senior Credit Facility and $0.5 million from the
exercise of stock options and $0.4 million in excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $23.4 million in 2011 compared to $12.9 million in 2010. Cash used in
financing activities for 2011 included $7.5 million to repurchase our common stock, $0.5 million used for payments on
capital leases, $15.2 million use for payments on Senior Credit Facility, $0.2 million used for payments on other long-term
borrowings, $0.4 million distributed to non-controlling interest, offset by $0.2 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock
options and $0.2 million in excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We had cash and cash equivalents of $28.5 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $13.2 million at
December 31, 2011 and $7.3 million at December 31, 2010. The cash balances reflect our ability to utilize funds deposited
into our local accounts and which based upon availability, timing of deposits and the subsequent movement of that cash into
our corporate accounts may result in significant changes to our cash balances.
Summary Disclosures about Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The following summarizes certain of our contractual obligations at December 31, 2010 and the effect such
obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods. The nature of our business is to manage
parking facilities. As a result, we do not have significant short-term purchase obligations.

Bradley of $1.2 million, $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the years ended 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. No amounts
have been included on the above schedule related to those payments for future periods as the amounts, if any, are not
presently determinable.
Critical Accounting Policies
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the preparation of the financial statements and the
financial reporting process and are based upon current judgments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Certain accounting
estimates are particularly sensitive because of their complexity and the possibility that future events affecting them may differ
materially from our current judgments and estimates.
This listing of critical accounting policies is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies.
Recent accounting pronouncements are included in Note A to our consolidated financial statements. In many cases, the
accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, with no need for management’s judgment regarding accounting policy. We believe that of our
significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
As of December 31, 2012, our net long-lived assets were comprised primarily of $40.0 million of property,
equipment and leasehold improvements, $14.2 million of contract and lease rights, and $202.8 of intangible assets. In
accounting for our long-lived assets, other than goodwill, we apply the provisions of the guidance related to accounting for
the impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of.
As of December 31, 2012, we had goodwill of $435.1 million. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair
market value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually in the
fourth quarter. On an annual basis and in accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles—Goodwill and other, the Company tests for
goodwill impairment using a two-step process, unless there is a triggering event, in which case a test would be performed at
the time that such triggering event occurs.
The determination and measurement of an impairment loss under these accounting standards require the significant
use of judgment and estimates. The determination of fair value of these assets utilizes cash flow projections that assume
certain future revenue and cost levels, assumed discount rates based upon current market conditions and other valuation
factors, all of which involve the use of significant judgment and estimation. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and
2011 we were not required to record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets or to goodwill. Future events may
indicate differences from our judgments and estimates which could, in turn, result in impairment charges in the future. Future
events that may result in impairment charges include increases in interest rates, which would impact discount rates,
unfavorable economic conditions or other factors which could decrease revenues and profitability of existing locations and
changes in the cost structure of existing facilities. Factors that could potentially have an unfavorable economic effect on our
judgments and estimates include, among others: changes imposed by governmental and regulatory agencies, such as property
condemnations and assessment of parking-related taxes; construction or other events that could change traffic patterns; and
terrorism or other catastrophic events.
Insurance Reserves
We purchase comprehensive casualty insurance (including, without limitation, general liability, automobile liability,
garage-keepers legal liability, worker’s compensation and umbrella/excess liability insurance) covering certain claims that
arise in connection with our operations. Under our various liability and workers’ compensation insurance policies, we are
obligated to pay directly or reimburse the insurance carrier for the first $250,000 of any loss. As a result, we are, in effect,
self-insured for all claims up to the deductible levels. We apply the provisions of the guidance related to accounting for
contingencies, in determining the timing and amount of expense recognition associated with claims against us. The expense
recognition is based upon our determination of an unfavorable outcome of a claim being deemed as probable and reasonably
estimated, as defined in the guidance related to accounting for contingencies. This determination requires the use of judgment
in both the estimation of probability and the amount to be recognized as an expense. We utilize historical claims experience
along with regular input from third party insurance advisors and actuaries in determining the required level of insurance
reserves. Future information regarding historical loss experience may require changes to the level of insurance reserves and
could result in increased expense recognition in the future.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We report accounts receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, to represent our estimate of the amount
that ultimately will be realized in cash. Management reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on an
ongoing basis, using historical collection trends, aging of receivables, and a review of specific accounts, and makes
adjustments in the allowance as necessary. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances could have an impact on
the collection of existing receivable balances or future allowance considerations.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability method to account for income taxes, in accordance with the guidance related to
accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We have certain federal net
operating loss carry forwards which expire between 2022 and 2024. Our ability to fully utilize these net operating losses to
offset taxable income is limited due to the change in ownership resulting from the initial public offering of our stock in 2004
(Internal Revenue Code Section 382). We consider a number of factors in our assessment of the recoverability of our net
operating loss carryforwards including their expiration dates, the limitations imposed due to the change in ownership as well
as future projections of income. Future changes in our operating performance along with these considerations may
significantly impact the amount of net operating losses ultimately recovered, and our assessment of their recoverability.
Legal and Other Contingencies
We are subject to litigation in the normal course of our business. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims
brought against us and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. We accrue a charge against income
when our management determines that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we accrue for the authoritative judgments or assertions made against
us by government agencies at the time of their rendering regardless of our intent to appeal. In determining the appropriate
accounting for loss contingencies, we consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability,
as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to
determine whether an accrual should be established or adjusted. Estimating the probability that a loss will occur and
estimating the amount of a loss or a range of loss involves significant judgment.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rates
Our primary market risk exposure consists of risk related to changes in interest rates. We use the variable rate Senior
Credit Facility, discussed above, to finance our operations. This facility exposes us to variability in interest payments due to
changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases and conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest
expense also decreases. We believe that it is prudent to limit the exposure of an increase in interest rates.
We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.
On October 25, 2012, we entered into interest rate swap transactions (collectively, the “Interest Rate Swaps”) with
each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate notional amount of
$150.0 million (the “Notional Amount”). The Interest Rate Swaps have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a
termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable
interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement, originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the
applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the Credit Agreement determined based upon Standard’s consolidated total
debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly
prepayments of principal under the Credit Agreement. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and we
calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in
earnings as an increase of interest expense. As of December 31, 2012, no ineffective portion the cash flow has been
recognized. The fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps at December 31, 2012 is $0.8 million and is included in other liabilities.
Our $450.0 million Senior Credit Facility provides for a $200.0 million variable rate revolving facility and a term
loan facility of $250.0 million. In addition, the variable rate revolving facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility with a
sublimit of $100.0 million. Interest expense on such borrowing is sensitive to changes in the market rate of interest. If we
were to borrow the entire non-hedged variable rate debt of $300.0 million available under the facility, a 1% increase in the
average market rate would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of $3.0 million. This amount is determined by
considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost, but does not consider the effects of the
reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Due to the uncertainty of the specific
changes and their possible effects, the foregoing sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal. All foreign investments are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the
exception of Canada. We had approximately $0.3 million of Canadian dollar denominated cash instruments at December 31,
2012. We had no Canadian dollar denominated debt instruments at December 31, 2011. We do not hold any hedging
instruments related to foreign currency transactions. We monitor foreign currency positions and may enter into certain
hedging instruments in the future should we determine that exposure to foreign exchange risk has increased.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE
None.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and
corporate controller carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based
upon their evaluation, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and corporate controller concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to us
(including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
Management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not
include the internal controls of Central Parking Corporation, which is included in the 2012 consolidated financial statements
of Standard Parking Corporation and constituted $624.9 million and $142.5 million of total and net assets, respectively, as of
December 31, 2012 and $190.0 million and $0.9 million of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting,
as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable
assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, chief
financial officer and corporate controller, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee on
Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (“COSO Framework”). Management’s assessment of internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 excludes the internal control over financial reporting related to Central
(acquired on October 2, 2012). Central is included in the 2012 consolidated financial statements of the Company and
constituted $624.9 and $142.5 of total and net assets, respectively, as of December 31, 2012 and $190.0 and $0.9 of revenues
and net income, respectively, for the year ended.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 has been audited by
Ernst & Young LLP, an independent registered certified public accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, which is
included in this Form 10-K.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system,
no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Standard Parking Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Standard Parking Corporation (Company) as of
December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’
equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. Our audits also included the
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated
financial position of Standard Parking Corporation at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), Standard Parking Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission and our report dated March 18, 2013, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Standard Parking Corporation
We have audited Standard Parking Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012,
based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Standard Parking Corporation’s management is responsible
for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Form 10-K. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that
receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
As indicated in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting,
management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include
the internal controls of Central Parking Corporation, which is included in the 2012 consolidated financial statements of
Standard Parking Corporation and constituted $624,854 and $142,453 of total and net assets, respectively, as of
December 31, 2012 and $190,008 and $915 of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of
internal control over financial reporting also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of
Central Parking Corporation.
In our opinion, Standard Parking Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), the consolidated balance sheets of Standard Parking Corporation as of December 31, 2012, and 2011, and the related
consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2012, and our report dated March 18, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

STANDARD PARKING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010
($ In thousands except share and per share data)
Note A. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and
variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Noncontrolling interest recorded in the
consolidated statement of income is the interest in consolidated variable interest entities not controlled by the Company. The
Company has ownership interests in thirty-eight partnerships, joint ventures or similar arrangements which operate parking
facilities. Twenty nine are Variable Interest Entities (VIE) and nine are voting interest model entities where the company
ownership ranges from 20-50% and it does not control the entities. The Company consolidates those VIE’s where it is the
primary beneficiary and accounts for voting interest entities that it does not control using the equity method of accounting.
The assets and liabilities of the VIE’s are not material to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. All significant
intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Parking Services Revenue
The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from leased locations, managed properties and the providing of
ancillary services, such as accounting, payments received for exercising termination rights, consulting development fees,
gains on sales of contracts, insurance and other value-added services. In accordance with the guidance related to revenue
recognition, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fees are fixed or determinable,
collectability is reasonably assured and as services are provided. The Company recognizes gross receipts (net of taxes
collected from customers) as revenue from leased locations, and management fees for parking services, as the related services
are provided. Ancillary services are earned from management contract properties and are recognized as revenue as those
services are provided.
Cost of Parking Services
The Company recognizes costs for leases, non-reimbursed costs from managed facilities and reimbursed expense as
cost of parking services. Cost of parking services consists primarily of rent and payroll related costs.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. Advertising
expenses aggregated $796, $317 and $308 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Share based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options and restricted stock units are
measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and the expense is recognized over the requisite
employee service period (generally the vesting period) for awards expected to vest (considering estimated forfeitures).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents represent funds temporarily invested in money market instruments with maturities of three months
or less. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represents our estimate of the amount that
ultimately will be realized in cash. Management reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing
basis, using historical collection trends, aging of receivables, and a review of specific accounts, and makes adjustments in the
allowance as necessary. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances could have an impact on the collection of
existing receivable balances or future allowance considerations. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s
allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,577 and $2,969, respectively.
Leasehold Improvements, Equipment, and Construction in Progress, net
Leasehold improvements, equipment, software, vehicles, and other fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Equipment is depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging
from 2 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases or
the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter (weighted average of approximately 10 years).
Costs associated with directly obtaining, developing or upgrading internal-use software are capitalized and
amortized over the estimated useful life of software.
Cost of Contracts
Cost of parking contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over the weighted average contract life which is
9.5 years for the year ending December 31, 2012, 9.7 years for the year ending December 31, 2011 and 9.5 years for the year
ending December 31, 2010. Amortization expense was $3,142, $2,275 and $1,907 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment annually and more frequently if circumstances warrant. We determine fair values
for each of the reporting units using an income approach. For purposes of the income approach, fair value is determined
based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. We use our internal
forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on our most recent
views of the long-term outlook for each segment. These assumptions could be adversely impacted by certain of the risks
discussed in “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Form 10-K. Actual results may differ from those assumed in our forecasts. We
use discount rates that are commensurate with the risks and uncertainty inherent in the respective reporting units and in our
internally developed forecasts.
We performed our annual impairment test for goodwill at all of our reporting units in the fourth quarter. In
performing the valuations, we used cash flows from managements most recent forecast and assumed a growth rate of 0% for
future periods, a discount factor of 10% when calculating the present value of our estimated future cash flow, slightly higher
than our weighted average cost of capital as determined by an independent valuation firm engaged by the Company to
determine market value of the Company previous to the merger with Central and reflected the risks associated with the then
current market. Additionally, we used cash flows, which reflected management’s forecasts and discount rates which reflect
the risks associated with the current market. Based on the results of our testing, the fair values of each of our reporting units
exceeded their book values; therefore, the second step of the impairment test (in which fair value of each of the reporting
unit’s assets and liabilities is measured) was not required to be performed and no goodwill impairment was recognized.
Estimating the fair value of reporting units involves the use of estimates and significant judgments that are based on
a number of factors including actual operating results. If current conditions change from those expected, it is reasonably
possible that the judgments and estimates described above could change in future periods.
Long Lived and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be
held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets to future undiscounted net
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or group of assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the
assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Debt Issuance Costs
The costs of obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the term of the respective
financing using the interest rate method. Debt issuance costs of $5,149 and $950 at December 31, 2012 and 2011,
respectively, are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are reflected net of accumulated amortization.
Amortization expense was $1,046, $638 and $638 at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-
term nature of these financial instruments. Long-term debt has a carrying value that approximates fair value because these
instruments bear interest at variable market rates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations is the local currency. Accordingly, assets and
liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at the rates in effect on
the balance sheet date while income and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the year.
Adjustments resulting from the translations of foreign currency financial statements are accumulated and classified as a
separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Interest Rate Swaps
We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.
October 25, 2012, the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap transactions (collectively, the “Interest Rate
Swaps”) with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”)
and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate Notional Amount of $150,000 (the “Notional Amount”). The Interest Rate Swaps
have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively
fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement (“the Credit Agreement”),
originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the
Credit Agreement determined based upon Standard’s consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is
subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under the Credit
Agreement. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and we calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on
a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase of interest expense.
As of December 31, 2012, no ineffectiveness of the hedge has been recognized. The fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps at
December 31, 2012 is $794 and is included in other long-term liabilities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management evaluates its estimates and
assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current environment.
Insurance Reserves
The Company purchases comprehensive casualty insurance covering certain claims that arise in connection with our
operations. In addition, the Company purchases umbrella/excess liability coverage. The Company’s various liability
insurance policies have deductibles of up to $250 that must be met before the insurance companies are required to pay
directly to or reimburse the Company for costs incurred relating to covered claims. As a result, the Company is, in effect,
self-insured for all claims up to the deductible levels. The Company applies the provisions as defined in the guidance related
to accounting for contingencies, in determining the timing and amount of expense recognition associated with claims against
the Company. The expense recognition is based upon the Company’s determination of an unfavorable outcome of a claim
being deemed as probable and capable of being reasonably estimated, as defined in the guidance related to accounting for
contingencies. This determination requires the use of judgment in both the estimation of probability and the amount to be
recognized as an expense. The Company utilizes historical claims experience along with regular input from third party
insurance advisors in determining the required level of insurance reserves. Future information regarding historical loss
experience may require changes to the level of insurance reserves and could result in increased expense recognition in the
future.
Contingencies
The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of our business. The Company applies the provisions as
defined in the guidance related to accounting for contingencies in determining the recognition and measurement of expense
recognition associated with legal claims against the Company. Management uses guidance from internal and external legal
counsel on the potential outcome of litigation in determining the need to record liabilities for potential losses and the
disclosure of pending legal claims.
Income Taxes
Income tax in the consolidated statement of operations includes deferred income tax provisions or benefits for all
significant temporary differences in recognizing income and expenses for financial reporting and income tax purposes. A
valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Reimbursed Management Contract Revenue and Expense
The Company recognizes as both revenues and expenses, in equal amounts, costs incurred by the Company that are
directly reimbursed from its management clients. The Company has determined it is the principal in these transactions, as
defined in ASC 605-45 Principal Agent Considerations, based on the indicators of gross revenue reporting. As the principal,
we are the primary obligor in the arrangement, have latitude in establishing price, discretion in supplier selection, and we
assume credit risk.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Adopted
In May 2011, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance related to amendments to achieve common fair value
measurement and disclosure requirements. The guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to
fair value measurements to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in U.S. GAAP and in IFRS and that their respective
fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued updated accounting guidance related to testing goodwill for impairment. The
amendments provide entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment before performing the first step of the
two-step impairment test. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is not more likely than not that the fair
value of the reporting unit is less than or greater than the carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test
would be unnecessary. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform the first step of the two-step
impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of
the reporting unit. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the
second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The amendment also
provides entities with the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly
to the first step of the two-step impairment test. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after
December 15, 2011. We test for impairment annually during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. We adopted this guidance in
the fourth quarter of 2012 and it did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or
cash flows.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which deferred the
effective date for applying ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, in
respect of certain provisions relating to the presentation of separate line items on the income statement for reclassifications of
items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into income, in order for the FASB to further evaluate this change in
standard before implementation. The deferral is temporary and other provisions of ASU 2011-05 were effective for the
Company beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this update impacted the presentation and disclosure of the Company’s
financial statements but did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic
210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update requires additional disclosures about offsetting and
related arrangements on assets and liabilities to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of such
arrangements on an entity’s financial position as reported. This amendment is effective for fiscal 2014, and adoption of this
standard change will only affect the footnote disclosures within consolidated financial statements. Once adopted, these
disclosure provisions will apply retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. Although the Company is still
evaluating the impact of this guidance, we do not believe that its adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations or cash flows but could impact financial statement disclosures.
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-2, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived
Intangible Assets for Impairment. This update provides an entity with the option to make a qualitative assessment about the
likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired and then determine whether it should perform a quantitative
impairment test. The amendment is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning
after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted. Although the Company is still evaluating the impact of this
guidance, we do not believe that its adoption will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Reclassification
Certain amounts previously presented in the financial statements of prior periods have been reclassified to conform
to current year presentation. Segment information related to prior periods has been recast to conform to current regional
alignment.
Note B. Acquisitions
On October 2, 2012 (“Closing Date”), we completed our acquisition (the “Central Merger” or “Merger”) of 100% of
the outstanding common shares of KCPC Holdings, Inc., which is the ultimate parent of Central Parking Corporation
(“Central”) for 6,161,332 shares of our common stock and the assumption of approximately $217,675 of Central’s debt net of
cash acquired. Additionally, Central’s former stockholders will be entitled to receive cash consideration of $27,000, subject
to adjustment, to be paid three years after closing to the extent it is not used to satisfy certain obligations that the Company
has been indemnified for the former Central shareholders.
Based on certain conditions of the Merger Agreement, the cash consideration was adjusted because Central’s
Combined Net Debt and absolute value of net Working Capital (“Net Debt Working Capital”) exceeds the threshold of
$285,000 by $15,546 as of September 30, 2012, its stockholders are required to settle their obligation with the Company. The
settlement was agreed to by reducing the $27,000 as shown in the following table:
Central Net Debt Working Capital at September 30, 2012 as defined in the Merger
Agreement ............................................................................................................................
Threshold..................................................................................................................................

Total consideration transferred.....................................................................................................
$140,726

$149,669
The Company incurred certain acquisition and integration costs associated with the transaction that were expensed
as incurred and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recognized $26,783 of these costs in
its Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended December 31, 2012 in General and Administrative Expenses. The
Company has incurred costs of $10,332, related to the Credit Agreement. Of the total costs of $10,332, $5,149 has been
included in other assets and $5,183 was recognized as a discount to borrowings. The entire cost is being amortized to interest
expense over the term of the loan.
The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting (in accordance with the
provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations) which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities
assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The table below summarizes the preliminary amounts
recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Certain estimated values are not yet finalized
(see below) and are subject to change, which could be significant. The Company will finalize the amounts recognized as
information necessary to complete the analyses is obtained. The Company expects to finalize these amounts as soon as
possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The Company financed the acquisition through additional term borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility and
consisting of a revolving credit facility up to $200,000 and a term loan of $250,000. The results of operations of this
acquisition is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition.

Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not
amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents expected synergies with the Company’s existing
operations which include growth of new and existing customers, elimination of corporate overhead redundancies, and
logistical improvements.
The recorded amounts are preliminary and subject to change. The following items are still subject to change:
• Amounts for intangible assets, unfavorable lease contracts, existing technology, leasehold improvements,
equipment, land and construction in progress, pending finalization of valuation efforts.
• Amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities pending the finalization of the valuations of assets acquired,
liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill.
A single estimate of fair value results from a complex series of the Company’s judgments about future events and
uncertainties and relies heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company’s judgments used to determine the estimated
fair value assigned to each class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as asset lives, can materially impact the
Company’s results of operations.
The results of Central’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the
acquisition date. The following table presents information for Central that is included in the Company’s Consolidated

The unaudited pro forma consolidated results were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are
based on the historical financial information of the Company and Central. The historical financial information has been
adjusted to give effect to the pro forma adjustments that are: (i) directly attributable to the acquisition, (ii) factually
supportable and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma consolidated
results are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s consolidated results of operations actually would have been had
it completed the acquisition on January 1, 2011. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated results do not purport to
project the future results of operations of the combined company nor do they reflect the expected realization of any cost
savings associated with the acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results reflect primarily the following pro
forma pre-tax adjustments:
• Elimination of Central’s historical intangible asset amortization and depreciation expense of $30,805 in 2012
and $25,839 in 2011;
• Additional amortization and depreciation expense of $18,751 in 2012 and $14,591 in 2011 related to the fair
value of intangible assets acquired;
• Elimination of interest expense of $21,046 in 2012 and $24,608 in 2011 related to former credit facilities that
were retired in connection with the Merger.
• Additional interest expense of $17,486 in 2012 and 17,729 in 2011 associated with the incremental debt issued
by the Company to partially finance the acquisition and the early retirement of debt;
• The elimination of Central’s equity based compensation expense of $430 in 2012 and $579 in 2011.
Immediately prior to the closing, all outstanding equity awards of Central were terminated.
• The elimination of long-lived asset impairment of $3,159 in 2012 and 2,599 in 2011.
• Elimination of $26,784 and $2,658 of costs incurred in 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are directly
attributable to the Merger, and which do not have a continuing impact on the combined Company’s operating
results. Included in these costs are advisory, legal and regulatory, integration, and costs to retire certain debt
obligations assumed in the Merger.
In addition, all of the above adjustments were adjusted for the applicable tax impact. The Company has assumed a
42% combined statutory federal and state tax rate when estimating the tax effects of the adjustments to the unaudited pro
forma combined statements of income.
Note C. Net Income Per Common Share
Companies are required to present basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic net income per share is computed by
dividing net income attributable to Standard Parking Corporation by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares, including stock options and restricted stock
units using the treasury-stock method.
A reconciliation of the weighted average basic shares outstanding to the weighted average diluted shares outstanding
is as follows:
Net income attributable to Standard Parking Corporation ...........................
Weighted average basic shares outstanding.................................................
Effect of dilutive stock options and restricted stock units ...........................

Depreciation expense was $6,280, $4,167 and $3,722 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Depreciation includes
losses on abandonments of leasehold improvements and equipment of $80, $31 and $53 in 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
Note E. Cost of Contracts, net
Cost of contracts represents the cost of obtaining contractual rights associated with providing parking services at a
managed or leased facility. Cost consists of either capitalized payments made to third parties. Cost of contracts is amortized
over the estimated life of the contracts, including anticipated renewals and terminations. Estimated lives are based on either
the contract life or anticipated lives that are consistent with the underlying valuation analysis used in determining the fair
value at acquisition.
The balance of cost of contracts is comprised of the following:

unfavorable lease contracts was $1,888 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and is a reduction to cost of parking services
of lease contract. There was no amortization for lease contracts included in cost of parking services for lease contracts for the
year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Note G. Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies the accounting standards for fair value measurements and disclosures for its financial assets
and financial liabilities. The guidance requires disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. As of
December 31, 2012, the Company’s financial liabilities relate to Interest Rate Swaps of $794 and the Company’s financial
liabilities relate to contingent acquisition consideration payments of $3,324.
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures includes a fair value hierarchy that is intended
to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is
based on observable or unobservable inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value. Observable inputs
reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from
independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions.
The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
• Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable and market-corroborated inputs, which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data.
• Level 3: Inputs that are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value
drivers are unobservable.
The significant inputs used to derive the fair value of the contingent acquisition consideration include financial
forecasts of future operating results, the probability of reaching the forecast and the associated discount rate. The weighted
average probability of the contingent acquisition consideration ranges from 5% to 95%, with a weighted average discount
rate of 12%. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis and the basis of measurement at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded adjustments to original contingent
consideration obligations recognized for acquisitions completed in previous years. The adjustments were the result of using
revised forecasts and updated fair value measurements that adjusted the Company’s potential earn-out payments related to the
purchase of this business.
For the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized a benefit of $972 and $309, respectively
in general and administrative expenses in the statement of income due to the change in fair value measurements using a level
three valuation technique.
The carrying and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were
as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents .............................................................

(1,995)
(80,000)

(1,041)
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these
financial instruments. Long-term debt has a carrying value that approximates fair value because these instruments bear
interest at variable market rates. The fair value of the capital lease and obligations on Seller notes and other obligations were
estimated to not be materially different from the carrying amount.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The purchase price of business acquisitions is primarily allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition dates, with the excess recorded as
goodwill. We utilize Level 3 inputs in the determination of the initial fair value. Non-financial assets such as goodwill,
intangible assets, and leasehold improvements, equipment land and construction in progress are subsequently measured at
fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an impairment is recognized. We
assess the impairment of intangible assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. The fair value of our goodwill and intangible assets is not estimated if
there is no change in events or circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable.
We have not recorded impairment charges related to our business acquisitions.

Senior Credit Facility
In connection with the Merger, on the Closing Date, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of
America, as administrative agent, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo Bank”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as co-
syndication agents, U.S. Bank National Association, First Hawaiian Bank and General Electric Capital Corporation, as co-
documentation agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, and the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”).
Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have made available to the
Company a new secured Senior Credit Facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) that permits aggregate borrowings of $450,000
consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200,000 at any time outstanding, which includes a letter of credit facility
that is limited to $100,000 at any time outstanding, and (ii) a term loan facility of $250,000. The Senior Credit Facility
matures on October 2, 2017.
The entire amount of the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility was drawn by the Company on the Closing
Date and is subject to scheduled quarterly payments of principal based on the following annualized amounts: (i) $22,500 in
the first year, (ii) $22,500 in the second year, (iii) $30,000 in the third year, (iv) $30,000 in the fourth year and (v) $37,500 in
the fifth year. The Company also borrowed $72,800 under the revolving credit facility on the Closing Date. The proceeds
from these borrowings were used by the Company to repay outstanding indebtedness of the Company and Central, and will
also be used to pay costs and expenses related to the Merger and the related financing and fund ongoing working capital and
other general corporate purposes.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, (i) at a rate per annum based on
the Company’s consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio for the 12-month period ending as of the last day of the immediately
preceding fiscal quarter, determined in accordance with the applicable pricing levels set forth in the Credit Agreement (the
“Applicable Margin”) for LIBOR loans, plus the applicable LIBOR rate or (ii) the Applicable Margin for base rate loans plus
the highest of (x) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, (y) the Bank of America prime rate and (z) a daily rate equal to the
applicable LIBOR rate plus 1.0%.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt
to EBITDA ratio of not greater than 4.5:1.0 (with certain step-downs described in the Credit Agreement). In addition, the
Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1:25:1.0 (with certain
step-ups described in the Credit Agreement).
Events of default under the Credit Agreement include failure to pay principal or interest when due, failure to comply
with the financial and operational covenants, the occurrence of any cross default event, non-compliance with other loan
documents, the occurrence of a change of control event, and bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default
occurs and is continuing, the Lenders holding a majority of the commitments and outstanding term loan under the Credit
Agreement have the right, among others, to (i) terminate the commitments under the Credit Agreement, (ii) accelerate and
require the Company to repay all the outstanding amounts owed under the Credit Agreement and (iii) require the Company to
cash collateralize any outstanding letters of credit.
Each wholly owned domestic subsidiary of the Company (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Credit
Agreement) has guaranteed all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of the other guarantors and the Company
arising under the Credit Agreement.
In connection with and effective upon the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement on October 2, 2012, the
Company terminated its then-existing Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Former Credit Agreement”), dated as
of July 15, 2008. In connection with the extinguishment of debt, $693 related to the interest rate cap was recorded in interest
expense during the year ended December 31, 2012. Loss on the extinguishment of debt of $51 was recorded in interest
expense during the fourth quarter related to debt issuance costs. There were no termination penalties incurred by the
Company in connection with the termination of the Former Credit Agreement.
We are in compliance with all of our covenants as of December 31, 2012.
The weighted average interest rate on our Senior Credit Facility at December 31, 2012 and 2011 was 3.7% and
2.5%, respectively. The rate includes all outstanding LIBOR contracts, cash flow hedge effectiveness effect and letters of
credit. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings, not including letters of credit, was 3.9% at
December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
At December 31, 2012, we had $56,006 of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, borrowings
against the Senior Credit Facility aggregated $312,775, and we had $52,231 available under the senior credit facility.
We have entered into various financing agreements, which were used for the purchase of equipment.
The Company acquired Subordinated Convertible Debentures (“Convertible Debentures”) that prior to the
acquisition of Central, were convertible at the option of the holder thereof into shares of Company common stock. As a result
of the acquisition, the subordinated debenture holders no longer have the right to convert the Convertible Debentures to
common stock of the Company, but do have the right to redeem the Convertible Debentures for $19.18 cash per share upon
their stated maturity (April 1, 2028) or upon acceleration or earlier repayment of the Convertible Debentures. There were no
redemptions during the year ended December 31, 2012. Approximately $1,254 (redemption value) Convertible Debentures
remain outstanding at both December 31, 2012.

The accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes requires that we assess the realizability of deferred tax
assets at each reporting period. These assessments generally consider several factors including the reversal of existing
temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and potential tax planning strategies. We have valuation allowances
totaling $25,299 and $318, respectively, at December 31, 2012 and 2011 primarily related to our state Net Operating Loss
carryforwards (“NOLs”) that we believe are not likely to be realized based upon our estimates of future state taxable income,
limitations of the use of our state NOLs, and the carryforward life over which the state tax benefit will be realized. $24,981 of
the valuation allowance recorded as of December 31, 2012 is attributable to state net operating loss carryforwards and other
state deferred tax assets of Central that were recognized as a component of purchase accounting.
At December 31, 2012, the Company had $5,677 of gross federal NOLs, which will expire in the years 2023 through
2024. As a result of the initial public offering completed in June of 2004, an ownership change occurred under Internal
Revenue Code Section 382, which limits our ability to use pre-change NOLs to reduce future taxable income. Additionally, a
second ownership change occurred in May 2009, however, since the fair market value of the Company’s shares were
significantly higher than at the time of the initial public offering, there was no change in the applicable Section 382 limitation
that limits our ability to utilize pre-change NOLs.
The Company has $21,919 of tax effected state net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2012, which
will expire in the years 2013 through 2028. As noted above, the utilization of the state net operating loss carryforwards of the
Company are limited due to the ownership change in June 2004. The state net operating loss carryforwards of Central are
also limited due to the Central Merger. The Company does not have any foreign net operating loss carryforwards.
Since 2005, the Company has treated its investment in its Canadian subsidiary as non-permanent in duration and
provided taxes on the undistributed Canadian earnings under APB23. As of December 31, 2012, the Company treats
approximately $1,600 of Canadian earnings as permanently reinvested to meet the Canadian subsidiary’s working capital
requirements. Generally, such amounts will become subject to U.S. taxation upon the remittance of dividends and under
certain other circumstances. The Company has provided taxes for the remaining undistributed earnings of its Canadian
subsidiary in excess of the permanently reinvested amount. The Company is treating it cumulative earnings of $3,641 in its
Puerto Rico subsidiary as permanent in duration to satisfy working capital requirements. The amount of tax that may be
payable on a distribution of such earnings is $1,274.
A reconciliation of the Company’s reported income tax provision (benefit) to the amount computed by multiplying
book income / (loss) before income taxes by the statutory United States federal income tax rate for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

Taxes paid, which are for United States federal income tax, certain state income taxes, and foreign income taxes
were $3,651, $7,507 and $7,270 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions that would have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position. However, as a result of the Central Merger, the Company recorded $6,780, plus
accrued interest of $5,328 and penalties of $678, for a state uncertain tax position as part of the opening balance sheet. Due to
the lapsing of the statute of limitations for this position in the fourth quarter 2012, the Company decreased its uncertain tax
position for the full amount of the liability previously established and reversed the previously accrued interest. As a result,
the Company does not have any uncertain tax positions recorded as of December 31, 2012.

Note K. Benefit Plans
The Company has deferred compensation arrangements for certain key executives, a savings and retirement plan,
and a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in which certain employees are eligible to participate.
The Company offers deferred compensation arrangements for certain key executives. Subject to their continued
employment by the Company, certain employees offered supplemental pension arrangements will receive a defined monthly
benefit upon attaining age 65. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has accrued $3,669 and $3,362, respectively,
representing the present value of the future benefit payments. Expenses related to these plans amounted to $486, $311, and
$154 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Through the Central Merger, the Company has agreements with certain former key executives that provide for
aggregate annual payments ranging from $32 to $144 per year for periods ranging from 10 years to life, beginning when the
executive retires or upon death or disability. Under certain conditions, the amount of deferred benefits can be reduced. Life
insurance contracts with a face value of approximately $6,700 as of December 31, 2012 have been purchased to fund, as
necessary, the benefits under these agreements. The cash surrender value of the life insurance contracts is approximately
$700 at December 31, 2012 and is included in other non current assets. The plan is a non-qualified plan and is not subject to
ERISA funding requirements. Compensation costs for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $855. At December 31, 2012,
the Company had recorded a liability in other long-term liabilities of $3,942 associated with these agreements.
The Company sponsors a savings and retirement plan whereby the participants may elect to contribute a portion of
their compensation to the plan. The Company’s Plan, is a qualified defined contribution plan 401(K). The Company
contributes an amount in cash or other property as a Company match equal to 50% of the first 4% of contributions as they
occur. Through the Central acquisition, the Company has the Central defined contribution plan. For the Central Plan, the
Company will match an amount equal to 100% of the participant’s contributions up to 3% of compensation and 50% of the
participant’s contributions exceeding 3% but not to exceed 5% of compensation. Expenses related to these plans amounted to
$893, $988, and $951 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The Company also offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. This plan allows certain employees to defer a
portion of their compensation, limited to a maximum of $50 per year, to be paid to the participants upon separation of
employment or distribution date selected by employee. To support the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, the
Company has elected to purchase Company Owned Life Insurance (“COLI”) policies on certain plan participants. The cash
surrender value of the COLI policies is designed to provide a source for funding the accrued liability. As of December 31,
2012 and 2011, the cash surrender value of the COLI policies is $5,620 and $3,902, respectively and is included in intangible
and other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheet. The liability for the non-qualified deferred compensation plan is
included in other long-term liabilities and was $6,064 and $3,929 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company contributes to a number of multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under the terms of
collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in these
multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:
a.
Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to
employees of other participating employers.
b.
If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may
be borne by the remaining participating employers.
c.
If the Company chooses to stop participating in one of its multiemployer plans, it may be required
to pay the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as withdrawal liability.
At December 31, 2012, we employed approximately 25,000 employees compared to approximately 12,000
employees at December 31, 2011 and 2010. The increase in employment from prior years is primarily attributable to the
Central Merger.
The Company’s participation in these plans for the annual periods ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, is
outlined in the table below. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employee Identification Number (“EIN”)
and the three-digit plan number, if applicable. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the
plan and is certified by the plan’s actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent
funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded.
The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates plans for which a Financial Improvement Plan (“FIP”) or a
Rehabilitation Plan (“RP”) is either pending or has been implemented. The “Expiration Date of Collective Bargaining
Agreement” column lists the expiration dates of the agreements to which the plans are subject.

Prior to the Merger date, Central represented more than 5% of the total contributions for the 2010 plan year.
The Company’s contributions represented more than five percent of total contributions to the Teamsters Local
Union No. 727 Benefit Fund for the plan year ending February 28, 2012 and Local 917 Pension Fund for the plan year ending
October 31, 2011 (the most recently available annual reports). We do not represent more than five percent to any other fund.
Net expenses not reimbursed by clients and related to multiemployer defined benefit and defined contribution
benefit plans were $762, $710 and $552 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In the event that we decide to cease participating in these plans, we could be assessed a withdrawal liability. We
currently do not have any intentions to cease participating in these multiemployer pension plans and therefore would not
trigger the withdrawal liability.
Note L. Leases and Contingencies
The Company operates parking facilities under operating leases expiring on various dates, generally prior to 2019.
Certain of the leases contain options to renew at the Company’s discretion.
Total future annual rent expense is not determinable as a portion of such future rent is contingent based on revenues.
At December 31, 2012, the Company’s minimum rental commitments, excluding contingent rent provisions under all non-
cancelable operating leases, are as follows:
2013(1) .........................................................................................................................................
2014..............................................................................................................................................
$168,254

269,311
$841,980
(1)
$30,688 is included in 2013’s minimum commitments for leases that expire in less than one year.
Rent expense, including contingent rents, was $173,502, $108,324 and $101,623 in 2012, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
Contingent rent expense was $79,552, $58,309 and $53,211 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Contingent rent
expense consists primarily of percentage rent payments, which will cease at various times as certain leases expire.
We enter into contingent purchase price arrangements from time to time for our business combinations and
depending upon the date of the business combination, some of our contingent purchase price arrangements are not reflected
in our consolidated balance sheet as those acquisitions occurred prior to the adoption of the most recent guidance on business
combinations which now requires these to be recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition. Our contingent payment
obligations outstanding under previous business combination rules totaled $255 and $536, as of December 31, 2012 and
2011, respectively, assuming all performance targets would be achieved as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and on an
aggregate undiscounted basis. Such contingent payments will be accounted for as additional purchase price if the
performance criteria are achieved; accordingly, this contingent payment obligation is not recorded at December 31, 2012. In
addition, as of December 31, 2012 we have accrued $239 for contingent payment obligations incurred in 2012 under previous
business combination rules. We have recorded a contingency obligation for acquisitions subsequent to the adoption of the
most recent guidance on business combinations, in the amount of $3,324, of which $2,008 is included in the other long-term
liabilities and $1,316 is included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2012.
Note M. Management Contracts and Related Arrangements with Affiliates
Closing Agreements
In connection with the Central Merger, on February 28, 2012, we entered into initial Closing Agreements (the
“Initial Closing Agreements”) with each of Lubert-Adler Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and Lubert-Adler Real Estate Parallel
Fund V, L.P. (collectively, “Lubert-Adler Entities”); each of Kohlberg Investors V, L.P., Kohlberg TE Investors V, L.P.,

Under the Initial Closing Agreements, the Central stockholders agreed, among other things, to vote their shares of
our common stock in accordance with our Board’s recommendations or, in specified cases, in proportion to the votes made
by our other stockholders, until October 2, 2015.
Additionally, the Initial Closing Agreements provide that each Central stockholder will be subject to a four-year
“standstill period” following the closing of the Merger, during which each such Central stockholder will not, among other
things, (i) acquire any additional voting securities of the Company, (ii) seek or propose a merger, acquisition, tender offer or
other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Company, (iii) call a meeting of our stockholders or initiate a stockholder
proposal, or (iv) form a “group” with any person with respect to our securities.
The Initial Closing Agreements also impose certain restrictive covenants on some of the Central stockholders,
including, among others, (i) non-compete covenants, (ii) non-solicitation covenants, (iii) confidentiality obligations and
(iv) non-disparagement requirements.
The foregoing description of the Initial Closing Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Closing Agreements, copies of which are attached to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on
February 29, 2012 as Exhibits 10.2 through 10.4 and incorporated by reference herein.
In connection with the Central Merger, on October 2, 2012, we entered into Additional Closing Agreements (the
“Additional Closing Agreements”) with the Central stockholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Additional Closing
Agreements, the Kohlberg, Lubert-Adler and Versa Entities have each agreed that, until October 2, 2015 and for so long as it
owns in the aggregate (together with its affiliates, all other Central stockholders and their respective affiliates and any other
persons with which any of the foregoing form a “group”) beneficially or of record more than 10% of our issued and
outstanding common stock, to cause the shares of our common stock held by them to be counted as present at any meeting of
our stockholders and to vote, in person or by proxy, all of such shares of our common stock as follows:
Until October 2, 2014:
• with respect to the election of directors to our Board, “for” any nominees recommended by our Board; and
• with respect to all other matters submitted for a vote of our stockholders, in accordance with the
recommendation of our Board with respect to such matters.
From October 3, 2014 until October 2, 2015:
• with respect to the election of directors to our Board, “for” any nominees recommended by our Board; and
• with respect to all other matters submitted for a vote of our stockholders, in proportion to the votes cast by all of
our other stockholders.
The Additional Closing Agreements also provide that the Kohlberg, Lubert-Adler and Versa Entities will be subject
to a four-year standstill period following the Closing Date, during which time, such Central stockholder will not, among other
things, (i) acquire or agree to acquire any additional voting securities of the Company, (ii) seek or propose a merger,
acquisition, tender offer or other extraordinary transaction with or involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their
respective securities or assets, (iii) call a meeting of the stockholders of the Company or initiate a stockholder proposal or
(iv) form a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) with any person (other than an
affiliate of such Central stockholder) with respect to the acquisition or voting of any or our voting securities.
The Additional Closing Agreements impose certain restrictive covenants on the Kohlberg and Versa Entities,
including (i) confidentiality obligations with respect to our confidential information and (ii) non-disparagement requirements.
The Lubert-Adler Entity is subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to our confidential information pursuant to the
terms of its Additional Closing Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Additional Closing Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Additional Closing Agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.2 through 10.8 to
the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 2, 2012.
Agreements Related to Myron C. Warshauer
Myron C. Warshauer, one of our director nominees, was our chief executive officer until October 15, 2001, when his
employment period terminated under our employment agreement with him dated as of March 30, 1998. This agreement,
which was amended on July 7, 2003 and May 10, 2004, requires us to pay Mr. Warshauer various post-employment benefits.
Mr. Warshauer received payments of $498 and other benefits (health and dental insurance, office space and secretarial
coverage) valued at $33 in 2012. This agreement also restricts Mr. Warshauer from competing with us.
In addition, we entered into a consulting agreement with Shoreline Enterprises, LLC, which is solely owned by
Myron C. Warshauer, dated October 16, 2001, as amended on May 10, 2004. Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Warshauer
provides consulting services under the title of Vice Chairman (Emeritus), which title and role is not that of an officer,
director, employee or agent of our company. We paid Shoreline $183 in 2012 under this arrangement.
Both of these agreements terminate on December 5, 2014 and permit Mr. Warshauer to provide us with consulting
services to the extent and manner as he determines.
Related Arrangements with Affiliates
In 2012 we provided property management services for twelve separate retail shopping centers and commercial
office buildings in which D&E Parking, Inc. has an ownership interest. Edward Simmons, an executive officer of Standard
Parking, has an ownership interest in D&E. In consideration of the property management services we provided for these
twelve properties, we recorded net management fees totaling $625 in 2012.
In 2012 our wholly owned subsidiary, SP Plus Security, Inc., formerly known as Preferred Response Security
Services, Inc., provided security services for a retail shopping center owned by D&E. We recorded net management fees
amounting to $2 for these security services in 2012. In 2012 we provided sweeping and power washing for a retail-shopping
facility in which D&E has an ownership interest. For these services we recorded net management fees totaling $2 in 2012.
Note N. Legal Proceedings
We are subject to litigation in the normal course of our business. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims
brought against us and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. We accrue a charge against income
when our management determines that it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the
amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we accrue for the authoritative judgments or assertions made against
us by government agencies at the time of their rendering regardless of our intent to appeal. In determining the appropriate
accounting for loss contingencies, we consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability,
as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss. We regularly evaluate current information available to us to
determine whether an accrual should be established or adjusted. Estimating the probability that a loss will occur and
estimating the amount of a loss or a range of loss involves significant judgment.
Note O. Goodwill
Goodwill is assigned to respective segments based upon the specific Region where the assets acquired and
associated goodwill resided.
The following table reflects the changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill by reported segment for the years

Agreement
We are entered into a 25-year agreement (the “Bradley Agreement”) with the State of Connecticut (“State”) that
expires on April 6, 2025, under which we operate the surface parking and 3,500 garage parking spaces at Bradley
International Airport (“Bradley”) located in the Hartford, Connecticut metropolitan area. The Company manages the facility
for which it is expected to receive a management fee.
The parking garage was financed on April 6, 2000 through the issuance of $53,800 of State of Connecticut special
facility revenue bonds, representing $47,700 non-taxable Series A bonds and a separate taxable issuance of $6,100 Series B
bonds. The Series B bonds were retired on July 1, 2006 according to the terms of the indenture. The Bradley agreement
provides that we deposit with a trustee for the bondholders all gross revenues collected from operations of the surface and
garage parking, and from these gross revenues the trustee pays debt service on the special facility revenue bonds outstanding,
operating and capital maintenance expense of the surface and garage parking facilities excluding our management fee
discussed below, and specific annual guaranteed minimum payments to the state. Principal and interest on the Bradley special
facility revenue bonds increase from approximately $3,600 in lease year 2002 to approximately $4,500 in lease year 2025.
Annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State increase from approximately $8,300 in lease year 2002 to approximately
$13,200 in lease year 2024. The annual minimum guaranteed payment to the State by the trustee for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $10,375 and $10,162, respectively.
All of the cash flow from the parking facilities are pledged to the security of the special facility revenue bonds and
are collected and deposited with the bond trustee. Each month the bond trustee makes certain required monthly distributions,
which are characterized as “Guaranteed Payments.” To the extent the monthly gross receipts generated by the parking
facilities are not sufficient for the trustee to make the required Guaranteed Payments, we are obligated to deliver the
deficiency amount to the trustee. Additionally, the Guaranteed Payments are required to be paid before we are reimbursed for
deficiency payments or management fees.
The following is the list of Guaranteed Payments:
• Garage and surface operating expenses,
•
Principal and interest on the special facility revenue bonds,
• Trustee expenses,
• Major maintenance and capital improvement deposits; and
•
State minimum guarantee.
However, to the extent there is a cash surplus in any month during the term of the Bradley Agreement, we have the
right to be repaid the principal amount of any and all deficiency payments, together with actual interest expenses and a
premium, not to exceed 10% of the initial deficiency payment. We calculate and record interest income and premium income
in the period the associated deficiency payment is received from the trustee.
Deficiency Payments
To the extent that monthly gross receipts are not sufficient for the trustee to make the required payments, we are
obligated pursuant to our agreement, to deliver the deficiency amount to the trustee within three business days of being
notified. We are responsible for these deficiency payments regardless of the amount of utilization for the Bradley parking
facilities. The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing advances to the trustee to cover operating cash flow
requirements. To the extent sufficient funds are available in the appropriate fund, the trustee is then directed by the State to
reimburse us for deficiency payments up to the amount of the calculated surplus.
In the year ended December 31, 2012, we made deficiency payments (net of repayments received) of $1,191. In
addition, in 2012 we received no premium income and $85 in interest income on deficiency repayments from the trustee. In
the year ended December 31, 2011, we made deficiency payments (net of repayments received) of $1,337. In addition, in
2011 we received $54 for premium income and $256 in interest income on deficiency repayments from the trustee. The
receivable from the trustee for interest and premium income related to deficiency repayments was $0 as of December 31,
2012 and 2011.
The deficiency payments, if any, are recorded as a receivable by us for which we are reimbursed from time to time
as provided in the trust agreement. As of December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we have a receivable of $14,598 and
$13,407, respectively, compromised of cumulative deficiency payments to the trustee, net of reimbursements. We believe
these advances to be fully recoverable, as the Construction, Financing and Operating Special Facility Lease Agreement,
which governs reimbursement of the Guarantor Payments, places no time restriction on the Company’s right to
reimbursement, and therefore have not recorded a valuation allowance for them. We do not guarantee the payment of any
principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee.
Compensation
In addition to the recovery of certain general and administrative expenses incurred, the Bradley Agreement provides
for an annual management fee payment which is based on three operating profit tiers calculated for each year during the term
of the agreement. The management fee is further apportioned 60% to us and 40% to an un-affiliated entity. To the extent that
funds are available for the trustee to make a distribution, the annual management fee is paid when sufficient cash is paid after
the Guaranteed Payments (as defined in our agreement), and after the repayment of all deficiency payments, including
accrued interest and premium. However, our right to the management fee accrues each year during the term of the agreement
and is paid when sufficient cash is available for the trustee to make a distribution.
The annual management fee is paid after the repayment of all deficiency payments, including accrued interest and
premium, therefore due to the existence and length of time for repayment of the deficiency amounts to the Company, no
management fees have been recognized in the accompanying financial statements. Management fees will be recognized in
accordance with SAB 104 when “collectability is reasonably assured” and the deficiency payments have been repaid.
Cumulative management fees of $6,000 have not been recognized as of December 31, 2012 and no management
fees were recognized during 2012, 2011 or 2010.

the Board of Directors.
2011 Stock Repurchases

quarter transactions was $2,512. At December 31, 2011, no shares were held as treasury stock and all repurchased shares
were returned to authorized and unissued.
Note R. Domestic and Foreign Operations
Business Unit Segment Information
Segment information is presented in accordance with a “management approach,” which designates the internal
reporting used by the chief operating decision maker for making decisions and assessing performance as the source of the
Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s segments are organized in a manner consistent with which separate
financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance.
An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it
may earn revenue and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by our chief
operating decision maker. Our chief operating decision maker is the Company’s president and chief executive officer.
Each of the operating segments is directly responsible for revenue and expenses related to their operations including
direct regional administrative costs. Finance, information technology, human resources, and legal are shared functions that
are not allocated back to the four operating segments. The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment using
information about its revenue and operating income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, but does
not evaluate segments using discrete asset information. There are no inter-segment transactions and the Company does not
allocate interest and other income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization or taxes to operating segments. The
accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.
Our business is managed based on regions administered by executive vice presidents. The following is a summary of
revenues (excluding reimbursed management contract revenue) and gross profit by regions for the years ended December 31,
2012, 2011 and 2010. Information related to prior periods has been recast to conform to the current regional alignment.
The Company has provided this business unit segment information for all comparable prior periods. Segment
information is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Note S. Stock-Based Compensation
We measure stock-based compensation expense at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and
the expense is recognized over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period) for awards expected to
vest (considering estimated forfeitures).
The Company has an amended and restated long-term incentive plan (the “Plan”) that was adopted in conjunction
with our initial public offering in 2004. On February 27, 2008, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Plan,
subject to shareholder approval, that increased the maximum number of shares of common stock available for awards under
the Plan from 2,000,000 to 2,175,000 and extended the Plan’s termination date. Our shareholders approved this Plan
amendment on April 22, 2008, and the Plan now terminates twenty years from the date of such approval, or April 22, 2028.
Forfeited and expired options under the Plan become generally available for reissuance. At December 31, 2012, no shares
remained available for award under the Plan.
Stock Options and Grants
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option grant as of the date of grant.
The volatilities are based on the 90 day historical volatility of our common stock as the grant date. The risk free interest rate
is based on zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option.
There were no options granted during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The Company
recognized no stock-based compensation expense related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and
2010 as all options previously granted are fully vested. A total of 9,534 options expired in the third quarter of 2010 with a
weighted average exercise price of $17.03. The option expirations are due to out-of-the-money options that were not
exercised prior to their expiration date. The expired options were returned to the pool of shares generally available for future
use under the Long-Term Incentive Plan and subsequently re-issued.
On April 25, 2012, the Company authorized vested stock grants to certain directors totaling 12,995 shares. The total
value of the grant, based on the fair value of the stock on the grant date was $245 which was fully expensed at the grant date
and is included in general and administrative expenses.
On April 29, 2011, we authorized vested stock grants to certain directors totaling 14,009 shares. The total value of
the grant, based on the market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant was $245, which was fully expensed
in the year the award was granted and is included in general and administrative expenses.
On April 28, 2010, we authorized vested stock grants to certain directors totaling 12,892 shares. The total value of
the grant was $220 and is included in general and administrative expenses. On September 22, 2010, we authorized vested
stock grants to certain directors totaling 1,504 shares. The total value of the grant was $25 and is included in general and
administrative expenses.
The Company recognized $245 of stock based compensation expense for each of the years ended December 31,
2012, 2011 and 2010, which is included in general and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2012, there was no
unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested options.
The following table summarizes the transactions pursuant to our stock option plans for the last three years ended
December 31.

At December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, options to purchase 7,101, 88,124 and 156,446 shares of common stock,
respectively, were exercisable at weighted average exercise prices of $5.75, $6.44 and $5.01 per share, respectively. The total
intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $1,025, $994, and
$4,630, respectively.
There were no nonvested options as of December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.
Restricted Stock Units
In March 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a one-time grant of 750,000 restricted stock units that
subsequently were awarded to members of our senior management team on July 1, 2008. In November 2008, an additional
5,000 restricted stock units were also awarded. The restricted stock units vest in one-third installments on each of the tenth,
eleventh and twelfth anniversaries of the grant date. The restricted stock unit agreements are designed to reward performance
over a decade or longer.
In October 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a one-time grant of 191,895 restricted stock units
that were awarded to our senior management team. The restricted stock units vest in one third installments on each of the
first, second and third anniversaries of the Grant Date. The restricted stock unit agreements are designed to reward
performance over a three year period. Additionally in October 2012, as part of employment agreements, 30,529 restricted
stock units were awarded and shall become vested on the third anniversary of the Grant Date.
The fair value of restricted stock units is determined using the market value of our common stock on the date of the
grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. In accordance with the guidance related to
share-based payments, we estimate forfeitures at the time of the grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if
actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and record stock-based
compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.
A summary of the status of the restricted stock units as of December 31, 2012, and changes during the year ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, is presented below and there was no activity for the years ended December 31, 2010:

Note T. Unaudited Quarterly Results
The following table sets forth our unaudited quarterly consolidated statement of income data for the years ended
December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The unaudited quarterly information has been prepared on the same basis as the
annual financial information and, in management’s opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information for the quarters presented. Historically, our operating results have
varied from quarter to quarter and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations have been due to a
number of factors, including: general economic conditions in our markets; acquisitions; additions of contracts; expiration and
termination of contracts; conversion of lease contracts to management contracts; conversion of management contracts to lease
contracts and changes in terms of contracts that are retained and timing of general and administrative expenditures. The
operating results for any historical quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.
