Forward-Looking Statements
The Business section and other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") contain forward-looking statements,
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and uncertainties. Many of the
forward-looking statements are located in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

"can," "may," and similar terms. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the Company's actual
results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A. of this Form 10-K under the heading "Risk Factors,"
which are incorporated herein by reference. Each of the terms the "Company" and "SP Plus" as used herein refers collectively to
SP Plus Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated. The Company assumes no obligation to revise
or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

Item 1.
Business
Our Company
PART I
SP Plus Corporation, a Delaware corporation, which operates through its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "we", "us", "our")
facilitates the efficient movement of people, vehicles and personal belongings with the goal of enhancing the consumer
experience while improving bottom line results for our clients. We provide professional parking management, ground
transportation, remote baggage check-in and handling, facility maintenance, security, event logistics, and other technology-driven
mobility solutions to aviation, commercial, hospitality, healthcare and government clients across North America.
Acquisitions, Investment in Joint Venture and Sale of Business
On November 30, 2018, we acquired the outstanding shares of ZWB Holdings, Inc. and Rynn's Luggage Corporation, and their
subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Bags"), for an all-cash purchase price of $277.9 million, net of $5.9 million of cash
acquired. Bags is a leading provider of baggage services, remote airline check-in, and other related services, primarily to airline,
airport and hospitality clients. Bags provides these services by combining exceptional customer service with innovative
technologies. Bags clients include major airlines, airports, sea ports, cruise lines, and leading hotels and resorts.
Our Operations
Our experience in the industries we serve has 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 services that facilitate the movement of people,
vehicles and personal belongings. We serve a variety of industries and have industry vertical specific specialization in commercial
real estate, residential communities, hotels and resorts, airports, airlines, cruise lines, healthcare facilities, municipalities and
government facilities, retail operations, large event venues, colleges and universities.
We operate under two primary types of arrangements: management type contracts and lease type contracts.
•
•
Under a management type contract, we typically receive a fixed and/or variable monthly fee for providing our services,
and we may also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of certain performance objectives. We also receive
fees for ancillary services. Typically, all of the underlying revenue and expenses under a standard management type
contract flow through to our client rather than to us.
Under a lease type contract, we generally pay to the client either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer
collections, or a combination of both. Under a lease type contract, we collect all revenue and are responsible for most
operating expenses, but typically are not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes.
Our revenue is derived from a broad and diverse group of clients, industry vertical markets and geographies. Our clients include
some of North America's largest private and public owners, municipalities and governments, managers and developers of major
office buildings, residential properties, commercial properties, shopping centers and other retail properties, healthcare facilities
and medical centers, sports and special event complexes, hotels and resorts, airlines and cruise lines. No single client accounted
for more than 6% of our revenue, net of reimbursed management type contract revenue, or more than 6% of our gross profit for
the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, we have built a diverse geographic footprint that spans operations in 45 states,
the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and 4 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 clients in a single
market.
Services
As a professional service provider, we provide comprehensive, turn-key service offering packages to our clients. Under a typical
management type contract structure, we are responsible for providing and supervising all personnel necessary to facilitate daily
operations, which may include cashiers, porters, baggage handlers, valet attendants, managers, bookkeepers, and a variety of
ground transportation services, maintenance, marketing, customer service, and accounting and revenue control functions.
Beyond the conventional management services described above, we also offer an expanded range of ground transportation
services, baggage delivery and handling services and other ancillary services. For example, we provide:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
shuttle bus vehicles and the drivers to operate them serving locations such as on-airport car rental operations and
private off-airport parking locations;
ground transportation services, such as taxi and livery dispatch services, as well as concierge-type ground

Industry Overview
Overview
The parking management, ground transportation services and baggage services providers, as well as technology solution
providers that serve those industries, are large and fragmented. A substantial number of companies in these industries offer
parking management services, ground transportation services, technology services and baggage services as non-core
operations, and companies in these industries are large national competitors or small and private companies that operate in
limited markets and geographies. Additionally, technological advancements are having an impact on both consumer behavior
and information technology in these industries. From time to time, smaller operators find they lack the financial resources,
economies of scale and/or management techniques required to compete for the business of increasingly sophisticated clients
and the increasing demands of clients. We expect this trend to continue and will provide larger professional service companies
with greater opportunities to expand their businesses and potentially acquire smaller operators. We also expect that new small
operators and technology companies will continue to enter the market as they have in the past.
Beginning in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the resulting stay at home orders issued by local
governments began impacting certain industries and businesses internationally and within the United States and North America,
including our business and those businesses that serve the hospitality and travel industries. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for risks
related to COVID-19, as well as other risks related to our business and the industry.

Industry Operating Arrangements
Professional service businesses operate primarily under two general types of arrangements, which include:
Management Type Contracts
Under management type contracts, the professional service operator generally receives a fixed and/or variable monthly fee for
providing services and may receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of certain performance objectives. Professional
service operators also generally charge fees for various ancillary services such as accounting support services, equipment
leasing and consulting. Primary responsibilities under a management type contract include hiring, training and staffing personnel,
and providing revenue collection, accounting, record-keeping, insurance and marketing services. The client is usually responsible
for operating expenses associated with the client's operations, such as taxes, license and permit fees, insurance costs, payroll
and accounts receivable processing and wages of personnel assigned to the operation, although some management type
contracts, typically referred to as "reverse" management type contracts, require the professional service operator to pay certain
of these cost categories but provide for payment to the operator of a larger management fee. Under a management type contract,
the client usually is responsible for non-routine maintenance and repairs and capital improvements of the operation facility or
location, such as structural and significant mechanical repairs. Management type contracts are typically for a term of one to three
years (although the contracts may be terminated and may contain renewal clauses).
Lease Type Contracts
Under lease type contracts, the services operator generally pays to the client or property owner a fixed base rent or fee,
percentage rent that is tied to the financial performance of the operation, or a combination of both. The professional services
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 type contracts, lease type contracts typically
have longer terms of three to ten years, and often contain a renewal term and provide for a fixed payment to the client regardless
of the facility's operating earnings. In addition, many of these lease type contracts may be canceled by the client for various
reasons, including development of the real estate for other uses, and may be canceled by the client on as little as 30 days' notice
without cause. Lease type contracts generally require larger capital investment by the services operator than do management
type contracts and therefore tend to have longer contract periods.
General Business Trends
We believe that our clients recognize the potential for parking services, parking management, ground transportation services,
baggage services and technology-driven mobility solutions and other ancillary services to be a profit generator and/or a service
differentiator to their respective customers. By outsourcing these services, our clients are able to capture additional profit and
4
enhance the customer experience by leveraging unique technology, operational skills and controls that an experienced services
and technology company can offer. Our ability to consistently deliver a uniformly high level of services to our clients, including
the use of various technological solutions and enhancements, allows us to maximize the profit and enhance the customer
experience for our clients, thereby improving our ability to win contracts and retain existing clients.
Our Competitive Strengths
We believe we have the following key competitive strengths:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Sphere™,
A Leading Market Position with a Unique Value Proposition. We are one of the leading providers of parking
management, ground transportation services, baggage services, technology-driven mobility solutions and other ancillary
services to commercial, hospitality, institutional, municipal and government, airports, airlines and cruise line clients
across North America. SP+ introduced Sphere™, a suite of industry-leading technology solutions that drives end-to-
end mobility and delivers a frictionless consumer experience across all markets we serve. These services include on-
site parking management, valet parking, ground transportation services, facility maintenance, event logistics, baggage
related services, remote airline check-in services, security services, municipal meter revenue collection and
enforcement services, and consulting services. We market and offer many of our services under our SP+, Sphere™
and Bags® brands, which reflect our ability to provide customized solutions and meet the varied demands of our diverse
client base. We can augment our parking services by providing our clients with related services through our SP+
®
Parking, SP+ Facility Maintenance, SP+ GAMEDAY, SP+ Transportation, SP+ Event Logistics,
Bags
and, in certain sections of the United States and Canada, SP+ Security 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 and leverage our Sphere™ platform 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 financial operations and customer
experience.
Sphere™,
®
Our Scale and Diversification. Expanding our client base, industry vertical markets and geographic locations has
enabled us to significantly enhance our operating efficiency over the past several years by standardizing processes and
managing overhead. The ability to use our scale and purchasing power with vendors drives cost savings and benefits
to our client base.
o
o
Client Base. 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 resorts, healthcare facilities and medical
centers, airports, airlines and cruise lines.
Industry Vertical Markets. We believe that our industry vertical market diversification, such as commercial real
estate, residential communities, hotels and resorts, airports, airlines, cruise lines, healthcare facilities and medical
centers, seaports, municipalities and government facilities, commercial real estate, residential communities, retail
operations, large event venues, and colleges and universities, allows us to minimize our exposure to industry-
specific seasonality and volatility. We believe that the breadth of end-markets we serve and the depths and diversity
of services we offer to those end-markets provide us with a broader base of clients that we can target.
o Geographic Locations. We have a diverse geographic footprint that includes operations in 45 states, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico and 4 Canadian provinces as of December 31, 2020.
Stable Client Relationships. We have a track record of providing our clients with consistent, value-added and high quality
services, which can enhance their customer’s experience. We continue to see a trend in outsourcing to professional
service providers; we believe this trend has meaningful benefits to companies like ours, which has a national footprint
and scale, extensive industry 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
Sphere™ technology solutions and platforms that are
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 local
service operations very quickly, from the simplest to the most complex operation, and have experience working with
incumbent professional service operators to implement smooth and efficient takeovers and integrate new local
professional service operations seamlessly into our existing operations.
Predictable Business Model. We believe that our business model provides us with a measure of insulation from broader
economic cycles, because a significant portion of our locations operate on management type contracts that, for the most
part, are not dependent upon the financial performance of the client's operation. In order to mitigate some of the effects
from COVID-19, we converted many of our lease locations to management locations during the year ended December
31, 2020. In addition, we were able to exit or renegotiate many less profitable contracts, which were for both lease-type
and management-type contracts.
Highly Capital Efficient Business with Attractive Cash Flow Characteristics. Our business generates attractive operating
cash flow due to negative working capital dynamics. In addition, we generally have low capital expenditure requirements.
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 operations. This focus is reflected in our
ability to deliver to our clients professional, high-quality services 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
5
of our key operations and administrative support personnel on an annual basis. We have also dedicated significant
resources to human capital management, providing comprehensive training for our employees, delivered through the
use of our web-based SP+ University™ learning management system, in addition to facilitated classes. This investment
in our people promotes customer service and client retention in addition to providing our employees with continued
training and career development opportunities.
•
Focus on Operational Compliance and Safety Initiatives. Our culture and training programs continue to focus on various
compliance and safety initiatives and disciplines throughout the organization, as we implement an integrated approach
for continuous improvement in our risk and safety programs. We have also dedicated significant resources to our risk
and safety programs by providing comprehensive training for our employees, delivered primarily through the use of our
web-based SP+ University™ learning management system, on-site training and our SP+irit in Safety newsletters.
y
Our Growth Strategy
Building on these competitive strengths, we believe we are well positioned to execute on the following growth strategies:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Grow Our Business in Existing Geographic Markets. A component of our strategy is to capitalize on economies of scale
and operating efficiencies by expanding our business in our existing geographic markets, especially in our core markets.
As a given geographic market achieves a certain operational size, we will typically 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. The concentration of our operating locations allows for increased operating efficiency and
superior levels of customer service and retention through the accessibility of local managers and support resources.
Increase Penetration in Our Current Industry Vertical Markets. We believe that a significant opportunity exists for us to
further expand our presence into certain industry vertical markets, such as airports and aviation, colleges and
universities, healthcare, municipalities, hospitality and event services. In order to effectively target these markets, we
have implemented a go-to-market strategy of aligning our business by industry vertical markets and branding our domain
expertise through our SP+, Sphere™ and Bags® designations to highlight the specialized expertise, competencies,
services and technology offerings that we provide to meet the needs of each particular industry and customer. Our
recognized SP+ brand, which emphasizes our specialized market expertise and distinguishes our ancillary service lines
from traditional parking, includes a broad array of our operating divisions such as, SP+ Commercial Services, SP+
Airport Services, SP+ GAMEDAY, SP+ Healthcare Services, SP+ Hospitality Services, SP+ Municipal Services,
SP+ Office Services, SP+ Residential Services, SP+ Retail Services, and SP+ University Services, that further
highlight the market-specific subject matter expertise that enables our professionals to meet the varied demands of our
clients.
®
Expand and Cross-Sell Additional Services to Drive Incremental Revenue. We believe we have significant opportunities
to further strengthen our relationships with existing clients, and to attract new clients, by continuing to cross-sell value-
added services that complement our core service operations.
Grow and Expand Cross-Selling Bags Services. Bags® is a leading provider of baggage services, remote airline check-
in services, and other related services, primarily to airline, airport, sea ports, cruise lines and hotels and resorts. Bags
combines exceptional customer service with innovative technologies to provide these value-add client and customer
services. We believe the acquisition of Bags allows us to further cross-sell the aforementioned services that Bags
provides to our existing clients within the aviation, hospitality and commercial markets and to cross-sell parking services
and ground transportation services and other ancillary services to our existing Bags® clients. Our emphasis on these
innovative services will continue to drive value with our clients and allow us to expand our footprint into multiple markets.
®
Expand Our Geographic Platform. We believe that opportunities exist to further develop new geographic markets
through new contracts, acquisitions, alliances, joint ventures or partnerships. Clients that outsource the management of
their operations and professional services often have a presence in a variety of urban markets and seek to outsource
the management of their operations to a national provider. We continue to focus on leveraging relationships with existing
clients that have locations in multiple markets as one potential entry point into developing new core markets.
Focus on Operational Efficiencies to Further Improve Profitability. We have invested substantial resources in information
technology and regularly 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.
Sphere™ , Remote Services allows us to provide remote management services, whereby personnel are able to monitor
revenue and other aspects of an operation and provide 24-hour-a-day customer assistance (including remedying
equipment malfunctions at a facility) by using off-site personnel and equipment. We have begun expanding the facilities
where our remote management technology is installed. Additionally, Sphere™ iQ Admin reduces the dependency on
local resources by providing remote support for daily revenue reporting and monthly billing maintenance, reducing the
cost of local bookkeeping and allowing for increased focus on maximizing revenue.
We expect these businesses to
grow as clients focus on improving the profitability of their operations by decreasing labor costs at their locations through
remote services.
Pursue Opportunistic, Strategic Acquisitions. The outsourced professional services industry remains fragmented and
presents a significant opportunity for us. Given the scale in our existing operating platform, we have a demonstrated
ability to successfully identify, acquire and integrate strategic acquisitions such as Bags. We will continue to selectively
pursue acquisitions and joint venture investment opportunities that help us acquire scale or further enhance our service
capabilities.

•
Grow and Expand the Hospitality and Healthcare Businesses. SP+ Hospitality Services and SP+ Healthcare Services
is a leader in the hospitality and healthcare parking and valet industries, and management continues to believe there is
significant opportunity to use SP+'s capabilities to further develop a national business in hospitality and healthcare. Our
objective is to focus on the most important aspects of the business promptly upon obtaining a new location, from the
first contact with a potential customer to the execution of our services. Given the importance of neat, clean and polite
service, the success of our parking and valet business is dependent upon ensuring that its associates deliver excellent
service every day. To accomplish this objective, our SP+ University Services™ provides training to its parking and
valet associates. SP+ University Services™ continuously provides training to our parking and valet professionals to
become an integrated extension of our clients' staff and blend seamlessly into the overall hospitality and healthcare
experience.
Business Development
We place a specific focus on marketing and relationship efforts that pertain to those clients or prospective clients having a large
regional or national presence. Accordingly, we assign dedicated executives to these existing clients or prospective clients to
manage the overall relationship, as well as to reinforce existing account relationships and to develop new relationships, and to
take any other action that may further our business development interests.
Competition
We face competition from large national competitors and numerous smaller, locally owned independent professional service
providers and operators, offering an array of services and professional service solutions, which may include developers, hotels
and resorts, airports, airlines, cruise lines, national services companies and other institutions that may elect to internally manage
their own professional service offerings. Additionally, technological factors that improve ride-sharing capabilities increase the use
of parking aggregators and the use of third-party technology-driven mobility solutions can impact our parking and parking
management business. Some of our present and potential competitors have or may obtain greater financial and marketing
resources than we have, which may negatively impact our ability to retain existing contracts and gain new contracts. We also
face significant competition in our efforts to provide ancillary services such as shuttle bus services and on-street parking
enforcement because of the number of large companies that specialize in these services.
We compete for management contract type clients based on a variety of factors, including fees charged for services, providing a
comprehensive suite of technology driven mobility solutions, ability to generate revenues and control expenses for clients,
accurate and timely reporting of operational results, providing high quality customer service and customer experience, and the
ability to anticipate and respond to industry and technology related changes. Factors that affect our ability to compete for lease
contract type 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.
Support Operations
We maintain regional and city offices throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. These offices serve as the
centralized locations through which we provide the employees to staff our professional services as well as the on-site and support
management staff to oversee those operations. Our administrative staff is primarily based in those same offices and facilitate the
efficient, accurate and timely production and delivery of client deliverables, such as monthly reporting, invoicing, etc. Having
these all-inclusive operations and administrative teams located in regional and city offices throughout the United States, Canada
and Puerto Rico allows us to add new professional services for new and existing clients in a seamless and cost-efficient manner.
Our overall basic corporate functions in the areas of finance, human resources, risk management, legal, purchasing and
procurement, general administration, strategy, and product and technology are primarily based in our Chicago corporate office,
as well as the Nashville and Orlando support offices.
Employees
As of December 31, 2020, we employed approximately 12,200 individuals, including 8,600 full-time and 3,600 part-time
employees. Approximately 28% of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and represented by labor
unions, which include various local operational employees. Various union locals represent local operational employees in the
following cities: Akron (OH), Arlington, Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston, Buffalo, Burbank, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas,
Denver, Detroit, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Manchester (NH), Meadowlands, Miami, New York City, Newark, Oakland,
Ontario (Canada), Orlando, Oxon Hill, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, Richmond, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, San
Juan (Puerto Rico), Santa Monica, Seattle, Washington, D.C. and Windsor Locks.
We are frequently engaged in collective bargaining negotiations with various union locals. No single collective bargaining
agreement covers a material number of our employees. We believe that our employee relations are generally healthy, as
evidenced by higher than average rate of tenure and rate of internal promotions.
Central to our ability to execute on our business strategy is the commitment of our employees to delivering excellence in execution
of all aspects of our day-to-day operations. We strive to create an inclusive environment which promotes diversity across our
organization and a safe and engaging work environment where our employees have the opportunity to succeed and grow.
Through our comprehensive development programs and talent management systems, our employees refine their skills and are
able to access continued training and career development opportunities. In addition to base salary, our compensation and benefits
programs are structured to retain and motivate our employees.
7
The health and safety of our employees is of paramount importance. Because the safety is the responsibility of everyone, each
employee is expected to take all safety and health polices seriously and help enforce these policies within the workplace. In 2020,
we quickly activated comprehensive health and safety protocols to ensure appropriate safety precautions to address COVID-19.
Insurance
We purchase comprehensive liability insurance covering certain claims that occur in the operations that we lease or manage
including coverage for general/garage liability, garage keepers legal liability, and auto liability. 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 deductible / retention
amount for each loss covered by our general/garage liability, automobile liability, workers' compensation, and garage keepers
legal liability policy. As a result, we are effectively self-insured for all claims up to the deductible / retention amount for each loss.
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. 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 our clients on a stand-alone basis. The clients for whom we provide
professional services pursuant to management type contracts have the option of purchasing their own liability insurance policies
(provided that we are named as an additional insured party), but historically most of our clients have chosen to obtain insurance
coverage by being named as additional insureds under our master liability insurance policies. Pursuant to our management type
contracts, we charge those clients insurance-related costs.
r
We provide group health insurance with respect to eligible full-time employees (whether they work at leased facilities, managed
facilities or in our support offices). We self-insure the cost of the medical claims for these participants up to a stop-loss limit.
Pursuant to our management type contracts, we charge those clients insurance-related costs.
Regulation
Our business is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, and in some cases, municipal and state
authorities directly regulate or impose extensive governmental restrictions concerning automobile capacity, pricing, structural
integrity and certain prohibited practices. Additionally, 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.
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, New York City and Boston imposed restrictions in the wake of 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 new or 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, including minimum wage per hour laws and regulations imposed, 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 ground transportation services and certain airline and cruise line transportation, baggage services and remote
airline check-in services provided to our clients, the U.S. Department of Transportation, including the Transportation Security
Administration (the "TSA"), the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") and Department of Homeland Security, and various
federal and state agencies, exercise broad powers over these certain transportation services, including shuttle bus operations,
baggage delivery services, and remote airline check-in, licensing and authorizations, safety, training and insurance requirements.
Our employees must also comply with the various safety and fitness regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of
Transportation and other federal agencies, including those related to minimum training hours and requirements, drug and alcohol
testing and service hours. We may become subject to new and more restrictive federal and state regulations. Compliance with
such regulations may increase our operating costs.
Regulations by the FAA may affect our business. The FAA generally prohibits parking within 300 feet of airport terminals during
times of heightened alert. The 300 feet 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.
8
Various other governmental regulations affect our operation of property or 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 contracts with clients, we generally require that the property
owner contractually assume responsibility for any ADA liability in connection with the property or facility. There can be no
assurance, however, that the property owner has assumed such liability for any given property or that we would not be held liable
despite assumption of responsibility for such liability by the property owner. We believe that the parking facilities we operate are
in substantial compliance with ADA requirements.
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. These
laws and industry standards impose substantial financial penalties for non-compliance.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following discussion of risk factors contains forward-looking statements. These risk factors may be important to
understanding any statement in this Form 10-K or elsewhere. The following information should be read in conjunction with Part
II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the Consolidated
Financial Statements and related notes in Part IV, Item 15. "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules" of this Form 10-K.
The business, financial condition and operating results of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently l
known or unknown, including but not limited to those described below. Any one or more of such factors could directly or indirectly
cause the Company's actual results of operations and financial condition to vary materially from past or anticipated future results
of operations and financial condition. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company's
business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price.
Because of the following factors, as well as other factors affecting the Company's financial condition and operating results, past
financial performance should not be considered to be a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors should not use
historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Risks related to our business and industry
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have a negative effect on the global economy,
the United States economy and the global financial markets, and has disrupted, and is expected to continue to
disrupt, our operations and our clients’ operations, all of which have had and will have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
The ongoing COVID-19 global and national health emergency has caused significant disruptions in the international and United
States economies and financial markets. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak
a pandemic. The spread of COVID-19 has caused illness, quarantines, cancellation of events and travel, business and school
shutdowns, reduction in business activity and financial transactions, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and
financial market instability.
We are taking precautions to protect the safety and well-being of our employees, clients and customers. However, no
assurance can be given that the steps being taken will be deemed to be adequate or appropriate, nor can we predict the level
of disruption which will occur to our ability to continue to provide services to our clients.
The spread of COVID-19 and the recent developments surrounding the global pandemic are having material negative impacts
on all aspects of our business, as many of the clients we serve have suspended or closed operations. We have been, and will
continue to be, negatively impacted by related developments, including heightened governmental regulations and travel
advisories, recommendations by the U.S. Department of State and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and travel
bans and restrictions, each of which has impacted, and is expected to continue to significantly impact, the demand for the services
9
we provide, including professional parking management, ground transportation, remote baggage check-in and handling, facility
maintenance, security, event logistics, and other technology-driven mobility solutions.
The extent to which the pandemic impacts our business, operations, and financial results, including the duration and magnitude
of such effects, will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict or assess, including, but
not limited to:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the duration and scope of the pandemic;
the roll-out of the vaccines for COVID-19;
its impact on global and regional economies and economic activity, including the duration and magnitude of its impact
on unemployment rates and consumer spending;
its short and longer-term impact on consumer behavior (including the demand for travel and related hospitality services
and attendance at concerts, conventions and large public gatherings) and levels of consumer confidence;
the short and longer-term impact of statewide stay-at-home orders, including the possible acceleration of the
movement toward home office or “work from home” alternatives;
the ability of our clients and our customers to navigate the impacts of the pandemic;
actions governments, businesses and individuals take in response to the pandemic, including limiting or banning travel
and in-person gatherings; and
how quickly economies, travel activity, sporting events, concerts and other social or business functions and gatherings
and demand for the related services we provide recover after the pandemic subsides.
The COVID-19 pandemic has already subjected our business, operations and financial condition to a number of risks, including,
but not limited to, those discussed below.
•
•
•
COVID-19 has negatively impacted, and is expected to continue to negatively impact to an extent we are unable to
predict, our revenues from the services we provide, which are driven primarily by revenues from commercial, travel,
entertainment and leisure-related activities.
Our clients may experience a decline in their revenues due to the pandemic, which may cause them to be unable or
unwilling to pay us amounts that we are entitled to on a timely basis or at all, which would adversely affect our revenues
and liquidity.
Our clients with whom we have management type contracts may also require us to deposit all parking revenues directly
into their respective accounts-a departure from our typical practice under such contracts of depositing such revenues
into one of our accounts and, after withholding and retaining any operating expenses and other amounts for which we
are responsible or to which we are entitled, remit funds to the client. If client requests for such an arrangement are
significant, our working capital and liquidity may be adversely affected.
As a result, we have taken steps to reduce operating costs and other expenses while improving efficiency, including furloughing
a substantial number of our personnel, implementing reduced work hours for other hourly personnel, eliminating non-essential
spending and capital expenditures and suspending our stock repurchase program. Those steps, along with others we have taken
and will take in the future, to reduce our costs may not be sufficient to offset any reduction in our revenues and, at the same time,
may negatively impact our ability to attract and retain employees and senior management, retain or expand our client and
customer base, continue to provide services sufficient to meet customer demand, including, in particular, following the end of the
pandemic, and compete with others in our industries, and our reputation, revenues and market share may suffer as a result.
In addition, if our furloughed personnel do not return to work with us when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, we may experience
operational challenges, which could limit our ability to grow and expand our business and could reduce our profits. Further,
reputational damage from, and the financial impact of, reduced work hours could lead employees to depart the company and
make it harder for us to recruit and hire new employees in the future.
Our ability to grow our company may also be harmed by COVID-19. If COVID-19 or general economic weakness causes further
deterioration for the travel, leisure and hospitality industry or the other industries to which we provide services, we may not be
able to expand the geographies in which we provide our services or acquire businesses that may enable us to fuel our growth or
otherwise execute our strategic growth plan. In addition, once the pandemic subsides, certain acquisition or other opportunities
to grow our business may no longer be available, because such opportunities may have been pursued by our competitors or
such opportunities may be too costly or time-consuming for us to pursue at that time. See “Risks relating to our acquisition
strategy may adversely impact our results of operations.” See also “We are subject to intense competition that could constrain
our ability to gain business and adversely impact our profitability.”
COVID-19 has caused, and, in the future, may continue to cause, us to incur additional expenses in light of the public health
implications posed by COVID-19, including additional or accelerated investments in technology solutions which may be
mandated by local, state, federal or other governmental authorities or by recommendations from the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. The cost of investing in, implementing and maintaining such technology may be high, and such
technology, whether purchased or developed internally, may not meet our needs or the needs of our clients and customers, in a
timely, cost-effective manner or at all. During the course of implementing new technology into our operations, we may
experience system interruptions and failures, which may result in additional costs to us. In addition, we may not recognize, in a
timely manner or at all, the benefits that we may expect as a result of our implementing this or any other new technology into
our operations.
The full impact of COVID-19 on our business and the industries in which we operate, as well as the effect on local, regional and
global economic conditions, is highly uncertain, and its continuation, a future resurgence of COVID-19, or the existence of any
future pandemic could precipitate or magnify the other risks described below in this Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”
10
We are subject to intense competition that could constrain our ability to gain business and adversely impact our
profitability.
Competition is intense in the parking facility management, valet, ground transportation service, event management and baggage
delivery businesses including other ancillary services that we offer. Providers of similar services have traditionally competed on
the basis of cost and quality of service. As we have worked to establish ourselves as a leader in the industries in which we
operate, 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 elect to self-manage the services we provide.
The low cost of entry into these businesses has led to strongly competitive, fragmented markets consisting of various sized
entities, ranging from small local or single lot operators to large regional and national businesses and multi-facility operators, as
well as governmental entities and companies that can perform for themselves one or more of the services we provide. Regional
and local-owned and operated companies may have additional insights into local or smaller markets and significantly lower labor
and overhead costs, providing them with a competitive advantage in those regards. Competitors may also be able to adapt more
quickly to changes in customer requirements, devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their services or develop
technology that is as or more successful than our technology.
We provide nearly all of our services under contracts, many of which are obtained through competitive bidding, and many of our
contracts require that our clients pay certain costs at specified rates. Our management type contracts are typically for a term of
one to three years, although the contracts may be terminated by the client, 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. We may experience higher operating costs
related to changes in laws and regulations regarding employee benefits, employee minimum wage, and other entitlements
promulgated by federal, state and local governments or as a result of increased local wages necessary to attract employees due
to changes in the unemployment rate. If actual costs exceed the rates specified in the contacts or we are unable to renegotiate
our specified rates in our contracts, our profitability may be negatively affected. Furthermore, these strong competitive pressures
could impede our success in bidding for profitable business and our ability to maintain or increase prices even as costs rise,
thereby reducing margins.
Changing consumer preferences and legislation may lead to a decline in parking demand, which could have a material
adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Ride sharing services, such as Uber and Lyft, and car sharing services, like Zipcar, along with the potential for driverless cars,
may lead to a decline in parking demand in cities and urban areas. While we devote considerable effort and resources to analyzing
and responding to consumer preference and changes in the markets in which we operate, consumer preferences cannot be
predicted with certainty and can change rapidly. Changes in consumer behaviors, including the use of mobile phone applications
and on-line parking reservation services that help drivers reserve parking with garage, lots and individual owner spaces, cannot
be predicted with certainty and could change current customers' parking preferences, which may have an impact on the price
customers are willing to pay for our services. Additionally, urban congestion and congestion pricing due to the aforementioned
ride sharing services, or state and local laws that have been or may be passed encouraging carpooling and use of mass transit
systems, may negatively impact parking demand and pricing that a customer would be willing to pay for our services. If we are
unable to anticipate and respond to trends in the consumer marketplace and the industry, including, but not limited to, market
displacement by livery service companies, car sharing companies and changing technologies, it could have a material and
adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, several state and local laws have been
passed in recent years that encourage the use of carpooling and mass transit. In the future, local, state and federal environmental
regulatory authorities may pursue or continue to pursue, measures related to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions
which may have the effect of decreasing the number of cars being driven. Such laws or regulations could adversely impact the
demand for our services and ultimately our business.
Our business success depends on our ability to preserve client relationships.
We primarily provide services pursuant to agreements that are cancelable by either party upon 30-days’ notice. As we generally
incur initial costs on new contracts, our business associated with long-term client relationships is generally more profitable than
short-term client relationships. Managing our existing client relationships, including those client relationships acquired as part of
a business acquisition, is an important factor in contributing to our business success. If we lose a significant number of existing
clients, or fail to win new clients, our profitability could be negatively impacted, even if we gain equivalent revenues from new
clients or through client relationships acquired by acquisition.
We may have difficulty obtaining, maintaining or renewing coverage for certain insurable risks or coverage for certain
insurable risks at a reasonable cost to us or at all.
We use a combination of insured and self-insured programs to cover workers' compensation, general/garage liability, automobile
liability, property damage, healthcare and other insurable risks, and we provide liability and workers' compensation insurance
coverage, consistent with our obligations to our clients under our various contracts. We are responsible for claims in excess of
our insurance policies' limits, and, while we endeavor to purchase insurance coverage that is appropriate to our assessment of
risk, we are unable to predict with certainty the frequency, nature or magnitude of claims or direct or consequential damages. If
our insurance proves to be inadequate or unavailable, our business may be negatively affected.
Recent consolidation within the insurance industry could impact our ability to obtain or renew policies at competitive rates. Should
we be unable to obtain or renew our excess, umbrella, or other commercial insurance policies at competitive rates, it could have
a material adverse impact on our business, as would the occurrence of catastrophic uninsured claims or the inability or refusal of
our insurance carriers to pay otherwise insured claims.
11
We are subject to volatility associated with our high deductible and high retention insurance programs, including the
possibility that changes in estimates of ultimate insurance losses could result in material charges against our
operating results.
We are obligated to reimburse our insurance carriers for, or pay directly, each loss incurred up to the amount of a specified
deductible or self-insured retention amount. 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 or retention applicable to any given loss under the property insurance policies varies
based upon the insured values and the peril that causes the loss. Our financial statements reflect our funding of all such
obligations based upon guidance and evaluation received from third-party insurance professionals. However, our actual
obligations at any particular time may exceed the amount presently funded or accrued, in which case we would need to set aside
additional funds to reserve for any such excess.
The determination of required insurance reserves is dependent upon significant actuarial judgments. We use the results of
actuarial studies to estimate insurance rates and reserves for future periods and adjust reserves as appropriate for the current
year and prior years. 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 performance of our ongoing business. Actual experience related to our
insurance reserves can cause us to change our estimates for reserves, and any such changes may materially impact our results
of operations, causing volatility in our operating results. 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.
Further, to the extent that we self-insure our losses, deterioration in our loss control and/or our continuing claim management
efforts could increase the overall costs of claims within our retained limits. A material change in our insurance costs due to
changes in the frequency of claims, the severity of claims, the costs of excess/umbrella premiums, regulatory changes, or
consolidation within the insurance industry could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations,
or cash flows.
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 clients on a stand-alone basis. The clients for whom
we provide professional services pursuant to management type contracts have the option of purchasing their own liability
insurance policies (provided that we are named as an additional insured party). Historically, most of our clients have chosen to
obtain insurance coverage by being named as additional insureds under our master liability insurance policies. Pursuant to our
management type contracts, we charge those clients an allocated portion of our insurance-related costs. Our inability to purchase
such policies at competitive rates or charge clients for such insurance-related costs, could have a material adverse effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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 third party 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. We
are responsible for claims in excess of our insurance policies' limits, and, while we endeavor to purchase insurance coverage
that is appropriate to our assessment of risk, we are unable to predict with certainty the frequency, nature or magnitude of claims
or direct or consequential damages, including, in particular, due to unforeseen events, such as COVID-19 and terrorist attacks.
In addition, we may sustain material losses resulting from an event or occurrence where our insurance coverage is believed to
be sufficient, but such coverage is either inadequate or we cannot access the coverage. Furthermore, our business interruption
insurance, however, may not provide sufficient coverage, if any, for losses we incur in connection with these events, in addition
to other specified exclusions. These scenarios may result in a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
Our risk management and safety programs may not have the intended effect of allowing us to reduce our insurance
costs.
We attempt to mitigate our business and operating risks through the implementation of Company-wide safety and loss control
programs designed to decrease the incidence of accidents or events that might increase our exposure or liability. However, our
insurance coverage may not be adequate, despite our implementation of Company-wide safety and loss control efforts, or may
be inaccessible in certain instances, either of which would result in additional costs to us and may adversely impact our results
of operations.
Risks relating to our acquisition strategy may adversely impact our results of operations.
In the past, a significant portion of our growth has been generated by acquisitions. In light of recent events related to the COVID-19
pandemic, we expect that there will be a slowdown in the pace or size of our acquisitions, which, in addition to the other factors
discussed above, could lead to a slower growth rate. Any acquisition we make may not provide us with any of the benefits that
we anticipated or anticipate when entering into such transaction, particularly acquisitions in adjacent professional services. The
process of integrating an acquired business may create unforeseen difficulties and expenses. The areas in which we may face
risks in connection with any potential acquisition of a business include, but are not limited to:
•
•
•
•
failure of the acquired business to perform in-line with management expectations or acquisition models;
revenue synergies and our ability to cross-sell service offerings to existing clients may be different than
management's expectations;
costs of integrating the business or synergies anticipated could be different than management's expectations;
management time and focus may be diverted from operating our business to acquisition integration;
12
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
the time frame for integration could be delayed and the related costs may exceed management's expectations;
clients or key employees of an acquired business may not remain, which could negatively impact our ability to
grow that acquired business;
integration of the acquired business’s accounting, information technology, human resources, and other
administrative systems may fail to permit effective management and expense reduction;
an acquired entity may not have in place all the necessary controls as required by the SEC and the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, and implementing such controls, procedures, and policies may fail;
integrating financial reporting policies in compliance with the SEC's requirements and the requirements of other
regulatory bodies may result in increased costs, time and resources spent on or by our financial personnel;
integrating an acquired entity into our internal control over financial reporting may require and continue to require
significant time and resources from our management and other personnel and may increase our compliance
costs;
additional indebtedness incurred as a result of an acquisition may adversely impact our financial position, results
of operations, and cash flows;
we may be subject to additional compliance and other regulatory requirements as a result of the acquired
business, including in connection with any new products or services we offer; and
unanticipated or unknown liabilities may arise relating to the acquired business.
Our management type contracts and lease type contracts expose us to certain risks.
The loss or renewal on less favorable terms of a substantial number of management type contracts or lease type contracts 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 type contracts and lease type contracts could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our management type contracts
are typically for a term of one to three years, although the contracts may 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.
We are particularly exposed to increases in costs for locations that we operate under lease type contracts because we are
generally responsible for all the operating expenses of our leased locations. Typically, during the first and fourth quarters of each
year, seasonality generally impacts our performance with regard to moderating revenues, with the reduced levels of travel most
clearly reflected in the parking activity associated with our airport and hotel businesses as well as increases in certain costs of
parking services, such as snow removal, all of which negatively affects gross profit. The impact of COVID-19 on the seasonality
of our business specifically, and the performance of our operations generally, will depend on, among other factors, the scale and
duration of the pandemic and its impact on regulations, consumer behavior and consumer spending.
Deterioration in economic conditions in general could reduce the demand for our 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. Adverse
economic conditions, including in relation to COVID-19, may result in client's customers reducing their discretionary spending,
which includes travel and leisure spending. Because a portion of our revenue is tied to the volume of airline passengers, hotel
guests, retail shoppers and sports event attendees, our business could be adversely impacted by the curtailment of business
travel, personal travel or discretionary spending caused by unfavorable changes in economic conditions and/or consumer
confidence. Adverse changes in local, regional, national and international economic conditions could depress prices for our
services or cause clients to cancel agreements for the services we provide to our clients and their customers.
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 or who use services in the travel, leisure and hospitality
industry. Our business could be materially adversely affected to the extent that weak economic conditions or demographic factors
could result in the elimination of jobs and high unemployment in the large urban areas where our business operations are
concentrated, as has occurred in the wake of COVID-19. In addition, increased unemployment levels, increased office vacancies
in urban areas, movement toward home office or “work from home” alternatives or lower consumer spending could reduce
consumer demand for our services.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology, and potential disruption, cyber-attacks, cyber-terrorism and
security breaches to our technology, or our third-party providers and clients, or the compromise of our data, present
risks that could harm our business.
We are increasingly dependent on automated information technology systems to manage and support a variety of business
processes and activities. In addition, a portion of our business operations is conducted electronically, increasing the risk of attack
or interception that could cause loss or misuse of data, system failures, disruption of operations, unauthorized malware, computer
or system viruses, or the compromise of data, such as theft of intellectual property or inappropriate disclosure of confidential,
proprietary or personal information.
f
Furthermore, while we continue to devote resources to monitoring and updating our systems and implementing information
security measures to protect our systems, the controls and procedures that we have in place may not be sufficient to protect us
from security breaches. Improper activities by third parties, exploitation of encryption technology, new data-hacking tools and
discoveries and other events or developments may result in a future compromise or breach of our networks, payment card
terminals or other payment systems. In particular, the techniques used by criminals to obtain unauthorized access to sensitive
data change frequently and often are not recognized until they have been deployed against a target. Accordingly, we may be
unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures.
Additionally, our systems could be subject to damage or interruption from system conversions, power outages, computer or
telecommunications failures, computer viruses and malicious attack, security breaches and catastrophic events. If our systems
are damaged or fail to function properly, we may incur substantial repair and/or replacement costs, experience data loss or theft
13
and impediments to our ability to manage customer transactions, which could adversely affect our operations and our results of
operations. 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. Any disruptions to our information
technology systems, breaches or compromise of data and/or misappropriation of information could result in lost sales, negative
publicity, litigation, violation of privacy laws or business interruptions or damage to our reputation that, in turn, could negatively
impact our financial condition and results of operations. While we maintain insurance coverage that may, subject to policy terms
and conditions, cover certain aspects of cyber risks, such insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover all losses potentially
incurred and would not remedy any damage to our reputation.
We do not have control over security measures taken by third-party vendors hired by our clients to prevent unauthorized access
to electronic and other confidential information. There can be no assurance third-party vendors will not suffer an attack in the
future in which unauthorized parties gain access to personal financial information of individuals associated with our company,
our clients or our client's customers, and any such incident may not be discovered and remedied in a timely manner, or at all.
Labor disputes could lead to loss of revenues or expense variations.
When one or more of our major collective bargaining agreements becomes subject to renegotiation or 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.
We may not be able to renew existing labor union contracts on acceptable terms, particularly during times of economic distress,
and, in such cases, we may not be able to staff sufficient employees for our short-term needs. A strike, work slowdown or other
job action could in some cases disrupt our ability to provide 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. 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. At December 31, 2020, approximately 28% of our employees were represented by labor unions and approximately
51% of our collective bargaining contracts are up for renewal in 2021, representing approximately 54% 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 and the union may disagree on
important issues that could lead employees to strike, work slowdown, or other job actions. In a market where we are unionized
but our competitors are not unionized, we may lose clients as a result. A strike, work slowdown, or other job actions could disrupt
our ability to provide services to our clients, resulting in reduced revenues or contract cancellations. Moreover, negotiating first-
time collective bargaining agreements or renewing existing agreements, could result in substantial increases in labor and benefit
costs that we may not be able to pass through to clients.
In addition, we make contributions to multi-employer benefit plans on behalf of certain employees covered by collective bargaining
agreements, and we could be responsible for paying unfunded liabilities incurred by such benefit plans, which amount could be
material.
Catastrophic events could disrupt our business and services.
Catastrophic events, including natural disasters, severe weather conditions, pandemic outbreaks and acts of terrorism or other
geopolitical events, may cause economic dislocations throughout the country, lead to reduced levels of travel and result in an
increase in certain costs of providing parking and remote bag check-in and handling services, any of which could negatively affect
the use of our services and our gross profit. In addition, terrorist attacks have resulted in, and may continue to result in, increased
government regulation of airlines and airport facilities, including the imposition of minimum distances between parking facilities
and terminals, resulting in the elimination of parking facilities we manage. 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. Although the prohibition is not currently in effect,
it may be reinstated in the future. 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 from both our leased facilities and those facilities and contracts we operate under management
type contracts.
Because our business is affected by weather-related trends, typically in the first and fourth quarters of each year, our
results may fluctuate from period to period, which could make it difficult to evaluate our business.
Weather conditions, including fluctuations in temperatures, snow or severe weather storms, heavy flooding, hurricanes or natural
disasters, can negatively impact portions of our business. We periodically have experienced fluctuations in our quarterly results
arising from a number of factors, including the following:
•
•
reduced levels of travel during and as a result of severe weather conditions, which is reflected in lower revenue from
our services; and
increased cost of services, such as snow removal and longer delivery times for our baggage delivery services.
These factors have typically had negative impacts to our gross profit and could cause gross profit reductions in the future.
Fluctuations in our results could make it difficult to evaluate our business or cause instability in the market price of our common
stock.
14
State and municipal government clients may sell or enter into long-term lease type contracts of parking-related assets
with our competitors or property owners and developers may redevelop existing locations for alternative uses.
In order to raise additional revenue, a number of state and municipal governments have either sold or entered into long-term
lease type contracts 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.
Additionally, property owners and developers may elect to redevelop existing locations for alternative uses other than parking or
significantly reduce the number of existing spaces used for parking at those facilities in which we either lease through a lease
type contract or operate through a management type contract. Reductions in the number of parking spaces or potential loss of
contracts due to redevelopment by property owners may reduce our gross profit and cash flow for both our lease type contracts
and those facilities or contracts we operate under management type contracts.
We have investments in joint ventures and may be subject to certain financial and operating risks with our joint venture
investments.
We have acquired or invested in a number of joint ventures, and may acquire or enter into joint ventures with additional
companies. These transactions create risks such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
additional operating losses and expenses in the businesses acquired or joint ventures in which we have made
investments;
the dependence on the investee's accounting, financial reporting and similar systems, controls and processes of other
entities whose financial performance is incorporated into our financial results due to our investment in that entity;
potential unknown liabilities associated with a company we may acquire or in which we invest;
requirements or obligations to commit and provide additional capital, equity, or credit support as required by the joint
venture agreements;
inability of the joint venture partner to (1) perform its obligations as a result of financial or other difficulties or (2) provide
additional capital, equity or credit support under the joint venture agreements; and
disruption of our ongoing business, including loss of management focus on the business.
As a result of future acquisitions or joint ventures in which we may invest, we may need to issue additional equity securities,
spend our cash, or incur debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could reduce our profitability and harm our business. In
addition, valuations supporting our acquisitions or investments in joint ventures could change rapidly given the global economic
environment and climate. We could determine that such valuations have experienced impairments, resulting in other-than-
temporary declines in fair value that could adversely impact our financial results.
Risks related to legal and regulatory matters
Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved could
adversely 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 and any
other 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. Because our business employs a significant number of employees, we incur risks that these individuals will
make claims against us for violating various employment-related federal, state and local laws. Some or all of these claims may
lead to litigation, including class action litigation, and there may be negative publicity with respect to any alleged claims.
Additionally, we are subject to risks in the states where we have employees, including, for example, if there are new or
unanticipated judicial interpretations of existing laws and those interpretations are applied to employers on a retroactive basis.
We operate in a highly regulated environment, and our compliance with laws and regulations, including any changes
thereto, or our non-compliance with such laws and regulations, may impose significant costs on us.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, current or previous owners or operators
of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in their
properties. This applies to properties we either own or operate. 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, we hold a partial ownership interest in four
parking facilities, and companies that we acquired in previous years may have owned a large number of properties that we did
not acquire. We may be held liable for certain costs as a result of such previous and current ownership. In addition, from time to
time we are subject to legal claims and regulatory actions involving environmental issues at certain locations or otherwise 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 connection with ground transportation services and certain transportation and baggage services provided to our clients,
including shuttle bus operations, baggage handling and delivery services and remote airline check-in services, the U.S.
Department of Transportation, including the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Department of Homeland Security,
and various federal and state agencies exercise broad powers over these transportation and baggage related services, including,
licensing and authorizations, safety, training and insurance requirements. Our employees must also comply with the various
safety and fitness regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Transportation and other federal agencies, including those
related to minimum training hours and requirements, drug and alcohol testing and service hours. We may become subject to new
and more restrictive federal and state regulations, including in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Compliance with such
15
regulations could hamper our ability to provide qualified drivers and increase our operating costs. Our compliance with any new
rules and regulations, directives, anticipated rules or other forms of regulatory oversight may have a material adverse effect on
us.
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. These
laws and these industry standards 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 data privacy, 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, and
may in the future be 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.
We cannot predict changes in laws and regulations made by federal, state or local government. Any such changes may pose
additional regulatory burden and costs on our business or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations.
Federal healthcare reform legislation may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We provide healthcare and other benefits to employees. In certain circumstances, we charge our clients insurance-related costs.
Costs for health care have increased more rapidly than the general inflation in the U.S. economy. If this trend in health care
continues and we are unable to raise the rates we charge our clients to cover expenses incurred due to the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act or other healthcare initiatives, our operating profit could be negatively impacted.
Changes in tax laws or rulings could materially affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
We are subject to income and non-income tax laws in the United States (federal, state and local) and other foreign jurisdictions,
which include Canada and Puerto Rico. Changes in tax laws, regulations, tax rulings, administrative practices or changes in
interpretations of existing laws, could materially affect our business. Due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in various
jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or without notice, and the effective tax rate could be affected by changes
in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates or changes in tax laws or their interpretation, including in the
United States (federal, state and local), Canada and Puerto Rico. Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and
our effective tax rates could be affected by numerous factors, including the relative amount of our foreign earnings, including
earnings being lower than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in
jurisdictions where we have higher statutory rates, the applicability of special tax regimes, losses incurred in jurisdictions for
which we are not able to realize the related tax benefit, entry into new businesses or geographies, changes to our existing
business and operations, acquisitions and investments and how they are financed and changes in the relevant tax, accounting
and other laws regulation, administrative practices, principles and interpretations. Additionally, adverse changes in the underlying
profitability and financial outlook of our operations or changes in tax law, as discussed above, could lead to changes in our
valuation allowances against deferred tax assets on our consolidated balance sheets, which could materially affect our results of
operations.
We are also subject to tax audits and examinations by governmental authorities in the United States (federal, state and local),
Canada and Puerto Rico. We regularly assess the likelihood of an adverse outcome resulting from these examinations to
determine the adequacy of our provision for taxes, but our assessments as to the outcome of such tax audits and examinations
involve a number of assumptions and may ultimately prove to be incorrect. Negative unexpected results from one or more such
tax audits or examinations or our failure to sustain our reporting positions on examination could have an adverse effect on our
results of operations and our effective tax rate.
Risks related to our liquidity and capital resources
The phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) could affect interest rates under our existing credit
facility agreement, hedging activity, as well as our ability to seek future debt financing.
LIBOR is the basic rate of interest used in lending between banks on the London interbank market and is widely used as a
reference for setting the interest rates on loans globally. We generally use LIBOR as a reference rate to calculate interest rates
under the Senior Credit Facility and to establish the floor and ceiling ranges for the interest rate collar contracts that we entered
into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Senior Credit Facility.
In 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it intends to phase
out LIBOR by the end of 2021. Regulators in various jurisdictions have been working to replace LIBOR and other interbank
offered rates with reference interest rates that are more firmly based on actual transactions. The U.S. Federal Reserve, in
conjunction with the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, a steering committee comprised of large U.S. financial
institutions, has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) that is calculated using short-term repurchase
agreements backed by Treasury securities, as its preferred alternative to LIBOR. The Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") added the Overnight Index Swap Rate based on the SOFR to the list of U.S. benchmark interest rates eligible to be
hedged under US GAAP and has issued a proposal for consideration that would help facilitate the market transition from
existing reference interest rates to alternatives.
It is expected that a transition away from the widespread use of LIBOR to alternative rates will occur over the course of the next
few years. If a published LIBOR is unavailable after 2021, the interest rates under our Senior Credit Facility will be determined
using various alternative methods, any of which may not be as favorable to us as those in effect prior to any LIBOR phase-out. In
16
addition, the transition process to an alternative method may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in
markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and may also result in reductions in the value of certain instruments or the
effectiveness of related transactions such as our interest rate collars and any other hedges, increased borrowing costs,
uncertainty under applicable documentation, or difficult and costly consent processes. Any such effects of the transition away
from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, may result in expenses, difficulties, complications or delays in connection with
future financing efforts, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Impairment charges could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price of acquired businesses over the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. October 1st is our annual impairment assessment date for goodwill. However, we could be required to evaluate the
recoverability of goodwill prior to the annual assessment if we experience a significant under-performance relative to expected
historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the use of acquired assets or our business strategy, and
significant negative industry or economic trends. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. If the fair
value of one of our reporting units is less than its carrying value, we would record impairment for the excess of the carrying
amount over the implied fair value. The valuation of our reporting units requires significant judgment in evaluation of recent
indicators of market activity and estimated future cash flows, discount rates, and other factors. Future events may indicate
differences from management’s judgments and estimates which could, in turn, result in impairment charges. Future events that
may result in impairment charges include extended unfavorable economic impacts of COVID-19, increases in interest rates,
which would impact discount rates, or other factors which could decrease revenues and profitability of our reporting units and
changes in the cost structure of existing facilities. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized a goodwill
impairment charge of $59.5 million. See Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices and Note 11. Goodwill to our
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
l
We evaluate our long-lived assets, including lease ROU and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. These events and circumstances include,
but are not limited to, a current expectation that a long-lived asset will be disposed of significantly before the end of its previously
estimated useful life, a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which we use a long-lived asset, a change in its
physical condition or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of the long-lived asset
group. When this occurs, a recoverability test is performed that compares the projected undiscounted cash flows from the use
and eventual disposition of an asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If we conclude that the projected undiscounted cash
flows are less than the carrying amount, impairment would be recorded for the excess of the carrying amount over the estimated
fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we concluded that certain ROU and intangible assets were impaired and
recorded impairment charges amounting to $98.6 million and $75.8 million, respectively. See Notes 1. Significant Accounting
Policies and Practices, Note 2. Leases and Note 10. Other Intangible Assets, net to our Consolidated Financial Statements for
further discussion.
t
Assumptions and estimates used to determine cash flows in the evaluation of impairment and the fair values used to determine
the impairment are subject to a degree of judgment and complexity. Any future changes to the assumptions and estimates
resulting from changes in actual results or market conditions from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of long-lived
assets and could result in additional impairment charges. Future events that may result in impairment charges include extended
unfavorable economic impacts of COVID-19, or other factors which could decrease revenues and profitability of existing locations
and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities.
We have incurred indebtedness, and we may incur indebtedness in the future, that could adversely affect our financial
condition.
Our Amended Credit Agreement (as defined in Item 9B. Other Information), which was amended on February 16, 2021,
provides for a Senior Credit Facility that includes a $325.0 million revolving credit facility and a $225.0 million term loan that is
scheduled to mature in November 2023. The Senior Credit Facility is secured by a lien on all of our assets. In connection with
our Amended Credit Agreement, the negative and financial covenants in the Credit Agreement were amended and some
additional covenants were added, as described in Item 9B. Other Information. Failure to comply with covenants or to meet
payment obligations under our Senior Credit Facility could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could
result in the acceleration of outstanding debt obligations.
We may incur 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 may not be able to refinance any of our
indebtedness, including indebtedness under 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 debt
repayment. We do not expect that we could repay all of our outstanding indebtedness if the repayment of such indebtedness was
accelerated. If adequate capital is not available to us and our internal sources of liquidity prove to be insufficient, or if future
financings require more restrictive covenants, such combination of events could adversely affect our ability to (i) acquire new
businesses or enter new markets, (ii) service or refinance our existing debt, (iii) make necessary capital investments and (iv)
make other expenditures necessary for the ongoing conduct of our business.
In addition, the terms of future debt agreements and amendments to our existing debt agreements could include more restrictive
covenants, which may further restrict our business operations or cause future financing to be unavailable due to our covenant
restrictions then in effect.
Our ability to maintain and expand our business will be dependent upon the availability of adequate capital.
The ability to maintain and expand our business 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, the
Senior Credit Facility contains provisions that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and/or make substantial
17
investments or acquisitions. As a result, we may not have the ability to obtain adequate capital to maintain and expand our
business.
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 doubtful accounts, 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 lease type contracts or management type contracts by clients in
bankruptcy.
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, we may not 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.
General risk factors
Our business success depends on retaining senior management and attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
Our future performance depends on the continuing services and contributions of our senior management to execute on our
acquisition and growth strategies and to identify and pursue new opportunities. Our future success also depends, in large part,
on our continued ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Any unplanned turnover in senior management or inability to
attract and retain qualified personnel could have a negative effect on our results of operations.
Additionally, we must attract, train and retain a large and growing number of qualified employees while controlling labor costs.
Our ability to control labor costs is subject to numerous internal and external factors, including changes in immigration policy,
regulatory changes, prevailing wage rates, and competition we face from other companies to attract and retain qualified
employees. We may not be able to attract and retain qualified employees in the future, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Actions of activist investors could disrupt our business.
Public companies have been the target of activist investors, including, in particular, during times of economic and market turmoil.
In the event that a third-party, such as an activist investor, proposes to change our governance policies, board of directors, or
other aspects of our operations, our review and consideration of such proposals may create a significant distraction for our
management and employees. This could negatively impact our ability to execute our long-term growth plan and may require our
management to expend significant time and resources responding to such proposals. Such proposals may also create
uncertainties with respect to our financial position and operations and may adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key
employees.

Item 3.
Legal Proceedings
General
We are subject to claims and litigation in the normal course of our business, including those related to labor and employment,
contracts, personal injury and other related matters, some of which allege substantial monetary damages and claims. Some of
these actions may be brought as class actions on behalf of a class or purported class of employees. While the outcomes of claims
and legal proceedings brought against us are subject to significant uncertainty, our management believes the final outcome will
not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
We accrue a charge 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. When a loss is probable, we record an accrual based on the
reasonably estimable loss or range of loss. When no point of loss is more likely than another, we record the lowest amount in the
estimated range of loss and disclose the estimated range. We do not record liabilities for reasonably possible loss contingencies,
but do disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are material and we are able to estimate such a range. If we cannot
provide a range of reasonably possible losses, we explain the factors that prevent us from determining such a range. 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. 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 estimation and judgment.

Explanatory Note
On November 30, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Bags. Our consolidated results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 2018 includes the results of operations for the period of November 30, 2018 through December 31, 2018. See
Note 3. Acquisition, which is included in Part IV, Item 15. "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules" for further discussion of
the acquisition of Bags.
General Overview
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, our primary focus is on our gross profit and total general and
administrative expenses. Revenue from lease type contracts includes all gross customer collections derived from our lease type
contracts (net of local parking taxes), whereas revenue from management type contracts only includes our contractually agreed
upon management fees and amounts attributable to ancillary services. Gross customer collections at facilities under management
type contracts, therefore, are not included in our revenue. Accordingly, while a change in the proportion of our operating
agreements that are structured as lease type contracts may cause significant fluctuations in reported revenue and cost of
services, those changes will not artificially affect our gross profit. For example, as of December 31, 2020, 85% of our commercial
business was operating under management type contracts. Only 54% of total revenue (excluding reimbursed management type
contract revenue) for the year ended December 31, 2020, however, was from management type contracts. Under those contracts,
the revenue collected from customers belongs to our clients.
We believe that sophisticated clients (which also include property owners) recognize the potential for parking services, parking
management, ground transportation services, baggage handling services, technology-driven mobility solutions and other ancillary
services to be a profit generator and/or a service differentiator to their customers. By outsourcing these services, they are able
to capture additional profit and improve customer experiences by leveraging the unique operational skills and controls that an
experienced services company can offer. Our ability to consistently deliver a uniformly high level of services to our clients,
including the use of various technological enhancements, allows us to maximize the profit and/or customer experience to our
clients and improves our ability to win contracts and retain existing clients. Our focus on customer service and satisfaction is a
key driver of our high retention rate, which was approximately 87% and 93% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, for the Commercial segment.
Commercial Segment Facilities
In order to mitigate some of the effects from the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”), we converted many of our lease locations
to management locations during the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, we were able to exit many less profitable
contracts, which were for both lease and management locations. The following table reflects our Commercial facilities (by
contractual type) operated at the end of the years indicated:

We recognize services revenue from our contracts as the related services are provided. Substantially all of our revenue comes
from the following two sources:
Lease type contracts. Consists of all revenue received at lease type locations, including gross receipts (net of local taxes),
consulting and real estate development fees, gains on sales of contracts and payments for exercising termination rights. Revenue
from lease type contracts includes a reduction for service concessions.
22
Management type contracts. Consists of management fees, including fixed, variable and/or performance-based fees, and
amounts attributable to ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, baggage services, payments received for
exercising termination rights, consulting, developmental fees, gains on sales of contracts, insurance and other value-added
services. We believe we generally can purchase required insurance at lower rates than our clients can obtain on their own
because we effectively self-insure for all liability, worker’s compensation and health care claims by maintaining a large per-claim
deductible. As a result, we have generated operating income on the insurance provided under our management type contracts
by focusing on our risk management efforts and controlling losses. Management type contract revenues do not include gross
customer collections at those facilities, as those revenues belong to the client rather than to us. Management type contracts
generally provide us with a management fee regardless of the operating performance of the underlying management type
contract.
Reimbursed Management Type Contract Revenue. Consists of the direct reimbursement from the client for operating expenses
incurred under a management type contract, which are reflected in our revenue.
Cost of Services
Our cost of services consists of the following:
Lease type contracts. Consists of contractual rents or fees paid to the client and all operating expenses incurred in connection
with operating the leased facility. Contractual rents or fees paid to the client are generally based on either a fixed contractual
amount, a percentage of gross revenue or a combination thereof. Generally, under a lease type arrangement we are not
responsible for major capital expenditures or real estate taxes.
Management type contracts. Cost of services under a management type contract is generally the responsibility of the client. As
a result, these costs are not included in our results of operations. However, our reverse management type contracts, which
typically provide for larger management fees, do require us to pay for certain costs and those costs are included in our results of
operations.
Reimbursed Management Type Contract Expense. Consists of directly reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of a client under a
management type contract, which are reflected in our cost of 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 and management type 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 estimated useful lives.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. In accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") authoritative accounting guidance on goodwill, we evaluate goodwill for impairment on
an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances change that could cause goodwill to become impaired. We have elected
to assess the impairment of goodwill annually on October 1 or at an interim date if there is an event or change in circumstances
indicating the carrying value may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level; our
reporting units represent our operating segments, consisting of Commercial and Aviation. Factors that could trigger an impairment
review include, among others, significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results,
significant changes in the use of acquired assets or our business strategy, and significant negative industry or economic trends.
We may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair
value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. As of January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update
("ASU") 2017-04, which eliminated the two step approach from the current goodwill impairment test and allows impairment to be
calculated based on the quantitative assessment. The determination of fair value of a reporting unit utilizes cash flow projections
that assume certain future revenue and cost levels, comparable marketplace data, assumed discount rates based upon current
market conditions and other valuation factors, all of which involve the use of significant judgment and estimates. We also assess
critical areas that may impact our business including economic conditions, market related exposures, competition, changes in
service offerings and changes in key personnel.
Beginning in March 2020, COVID-19 and the resulting stay at home orders issued by local governments were impacting certain
of our businesses. These factors have significantly impacted the hospitality and travel industries, as well as overall consumer
discretionary spending.
Due to the impacts of COVID-19, revenues for certain markets in which we operate have dropped significantly as compared to
the expectations as of the October 1, 2019 annual impairment test. We do not know how long the impacts of COVID-19 will or
may impact our results. In addition, certain Aviation contracts were terminated during August 2020. The termination of these
23
contracts and the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on our expected future operating cash flows triggered us to complete a
quantitative goodwill impairment analysis for our Aviation reporting unit as of August 31, 2020. Based on the quantitative analysis,
we determined that estimated carrying values exceeded implied fair value for the Aviation reporting unit and goodwill was
impaired, and therefore an impairment charge was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of October 1, 2020
(our annual goodwill impairment test date), we performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill, since projections used in the
August 31, 2020 impairment test have not materially changed and we concluded no further impairment testing was required. See
Note 11. Goodwill in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Other Intangibles Assets, net
Other intangible assets represent assets with finite lives that are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for
impairment when circumstances change that would indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Intangible assets are
amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. We evaluate the remaining useful life of the other intangible
assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to their remaining useful lives.
Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of our intangible assets are complex and subjective.
They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors,
such as changes in our business strategy and internal forecasts. Although management believes the historical assumptions and
estimates are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact reported financial results.
As a result of the termination of certain contracts within the Aviation reporting unit and the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our
expected future operating cash flows, we determined certain impairment testing triggers had occurred related to our intangible
assets during the year ended December 31, 2020. Accordingly, we analyzed undiscounted cash flows for certain intangible assets
and determined that estimated net carrying values exceeded undiscounted future cash flows, resulting in certain intangible assets
being impaired, resulting in impairment charges being recognized during the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 10. Other
Intangible Assets, net in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
For both goodwill and intangible assets, future events may indicate differences from our judgments and estimates which could,
in turn, result in impairment charges. Future events that may result in impairment charges include extended unfavorable economic
impacts of COVID-19, increases in interest rates, which would impact discount rates, or other factors which could decrease
revenues and profitability of existing locations and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities.
Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets, primarily including right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, leasehold improvements, equipment and
construction in progress for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset
group may not be recoverable. We group assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified in order to
measure impairment. Events or circumstances that would result in an impairment review include a significant change in the use
of an asset, the planned sale or disposal of an asset, or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated
with the use of a long-lived asset group. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of the asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If it is determined to be
impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on our expected future operating cash flows, we determined certain impairment triggers
had occurred for certain ROU assets associated with certain asset groups, resulting in impairment charges being recognized
during the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 2. Leases in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion.
Assumptions and estimates used to determine cash flows in the evaluation of impairment and the fair values used to determine
the impairment are subject to a degree of judgment and complexity. Any future changes to the assumptions and estimates
resulting from changes in actual results or market conditions from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of long-lived
assets and could result in additional impairment charges. Future events that may result in impairment charges include extended
unfavorable economic impacts of COVID-19, or other factors which could decrease revenues and profitability of existing locations
and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities.
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 (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources. Our CODM is our chief executive officer.
The operating segments are reported to our CODM as Commercial and Aviation.
•
•
•
Commercial encompasses our services in healthcare facilities, municipalities, including meter revenue collection and
enforcement services, government facilities, hotels, commercial real estate, residential communities, retail, colleges and
universities, as well as ancillary services such as shuttle and ground transportation services, valet services, taxi and
livery dispatch services and event planning, including shuttle and transportation services.
Aviation encompasses our services in aviation (e.g., airports, airline and certain hospitality clients with baggage and
parking services), as well as ancillary services, which includes shuttle and ground transportation services, valet services,
baggage handling, baggage repair and replacement, remote air check-in services, wheelchair assist services and other
services.
"Other" consists of ancillary revenue and costs that are not specifically attributable to Commercial or Aviation and certain
unallocated items, such as and including prior year insurance reserve adjustments/costs and other corporate items.
24
In July 2020, we changed our internal reporting segment information reported to the CODM. Certain hospitality locations
previously reported under Aviation are now included in Commercial. All prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the Company’s current reporting structure.
Analysis of Results of Operations
2020 Compared to 2019
Existing business represents business that has been operating for at least one year and operating for the entire period in the
comparative period being presented. Other business comprises of expired business, conversions and new/acquired business.
As a result of COVID-19, we have executed on a strategy to successfully convert certain lease type contracts to management
type contracts which should provide a higher gross profit over the contract term. In addition, for those locations that have remained
leases, we have worked with landlords to either receive rent concessions or change lease terms to be more favorable to us.
Expired business relates to contracts that have expired but where we were operating the business in the comparative period
presented. Existing business in the Other segment represents amounts not specifically attributable to Commercial or Aviation
and certain unallocated items.
Consolidated results for the for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, included the following notable items:

Services revenue decreased by $385.9 million, or 41.3%, attributable to the following:
•
•
Services revenue for lease type contracts decreased $219.5 million, or 53.7%, primarily driven by a decrease of $133.4
million from existing business, $43.0 million from locations that converted to management type contracts during the
periods presented, $41.2 million from expired business, and $1.9 million from new/acquired business. Existing business
revenue decreased $133.4 million, or 47.2%, primarily due to a decrease in transient revenue as a result of COVID-
19.
Services revenue for management type contracts decreased $166.4 million, or 31.6%, primarily due to a decrease of
$140.9 million from existing business and $48.3 million from expired business, partially offset by an increase of $21.4
million from new/acquired business and $1.4 million from locations that converted from lease type contracts during the
periods presented. Existing business revenue decreased $140.9 million, or 34.1%, primarily due to a decrease in
activity for volume based management type contracts primarily related to the Aviation segment as a result of COVID-
19, partially offset by $5.6 million of termination fees received related to certain terminated Aviation contacts.
Gross profit decreased by $197.7 million, or 86.7%, attributable to the following:
•
•
•
Gross profit for lease type contracts decreased $47.6 million, or 113.3%, and gross profit percentage was negative
3.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 10.3% for the year ended December 31, 2019. Gross profit
declined as a result of decreases in gross profit for existing business, expired business, locations that converted to
management type contracts during the periods presented and new/acquired business. Gross profit for existing business
decreased $28.5 million, or 81.7%, primarily due to decreases in transient revenue as a result of COVID-19 and an
increase in legal and bad debt expense, partially offset by the recognition of certain rent concessions of $57.2 million,
as well as a decrease in compensation, benefits and overall lower net operating costs.
Gross profit for management type contracts decreased $53.0 million, or 28.5%, while gross profit percentage for
management type contracts increased to 37.0% for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to 35.4% for the
year ended December 31, 2019. Gross profit declined as a result of decreases in gross profit for existing business and
expired business, partially offset by increases in new/acquired business and locations that converted from lease type
contracts during the periods presented. Gross profit for existing business decreased $37.1 million, or 24.6%, primarily
due to a decrease in activity for volume based management type contracts primarily related to the Aviation segment
as a result of COVID-19 and an increase in bad debt and legal expenses, partially offset by decreases in compensation,
benefits, overall net operating costs and $5.6 million of termination fees received related to certain terminated Aviation
contacts.
We recognized $97.1 million of impairment charges related to operating lease ROU assets in the Commercial segment
during the year ended December 31, 2020. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on our operations, our projected future
operating cash flows for certain locations is expected to lower. As a result, the fair value of those locations was lower
than their carrying value and corresponding impairment charges were recorded during the year ended December 31,
2020. No impairment charge was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2019.
25
General and administrative expenses decreased $23.6 million, or 21.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared
to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily related to lower stock based compensation expense related to performance
share units during the year ended December 31, 2020, as well as lower performance based compensation and cost initiatives,
partially offset by an increase in acquisition, restructuring and integration costs. Impairment charges of $1.6 million during the
year ended December 31, 2020 related to certain abandoned operating leases. No similar impairment charges were recognized
during the year ended December 31, 2019.
We recognized $135.3 million of impairment charges related to certain finite lived intangible assets and goodwill for the year
ended December 31, 2020 in the Aviation segment. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on our operations and the termination of
certain Aviation contracts, our projected future revenue, profitability and operating cash flows within the Aviation segment are
expected to be lower than our prior projections. As a result, the implied fair value of certain asset groups related to finite lived
intangible assets within the Aviation segment were lower than their carrying value, resulting in $75.8 million of impairment charges
being recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, based on the quantitative goodwill impairment analysis
performed by us as of August 31, 2020, the estimated carrying values for the Aviation reporting unit exceeded their implied fair
value, resulting in $59.5 million of goodwill impairment charges being recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020. No
similar impairment charges were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Our effective tax rate was 28.1% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 27.3% for the year ended December 31,
2019. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 reflects the benefit related to the ability to carryback our
current year federal Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) to tax years that had a higher tax rate.

Services revenue increased by $159.5 million, or 20.6%, attributable to the following:
•
Services revenue for lease type contracts decreased $5.0 million, or 1.2%, primarily driven by a decrease of $26.9
million from expired business, partially offset by an increase of $12.0 million from new/acquired business, $9.7 million
28
from existing business, and $0.2 million from locations that converted from management type contracts during the
periods presented. Existing business revenue increased $9.7 million, or 3.0%, primarily due to an increase in fees for
transient revenue.
•
Services revenue for management type contracts increased $164.5 million, or 45.5%, primarily due to an increase of
$185.9 million from new/acquired business, mainly due to the acquisition of Bags, and $0.2 million from locations that
converted from lease type contracts during the periods presented, partially offset by a decrease of $17.7 million from
expired business and $3.9 million from existing business. Existing business revenue decreased $3.9 million, or 1.3%,
primarily due to changes in contract terms for certain management type contracts, whereby the contract terms
converted from “reverse” management type contracts to management type contracts, which typically have lower
management fees from the facility owner but do not require us to pay certain operating costs associated with the
facilities operation, partially offset by increased management fees.
Gross profit increased by $44.1 million, or 24.0%, attributable to the following:
•
•
Gross profit for lease type contracts increased $5.7 million, or 15.7%, and gross profit percentage increased to 10.3%
for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 8.8% for the year ended December 31, 2018. Gross profit
increased as a result of increases from existing business, new/acquired business, expired business and locations that
converted from management type contracts during the periods presented. Gross profit for existing business increased
$2.8 million, or 9.1%, primarily due to increases in transient revenue, partially offset by an increase in compensation,
benefits costs and rent expense.
Gross profit for management type contracts increased $38.4 million, or 26.0%, while gross profit percentage for
management type contracts decreased to 35.4% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 40.9% for the
year ended December 31, 2018. Gross profit increased as a result of increases from new/acquired business, primarily
due to the acquisition of Bags, partially offset by decreases in expired business and existing business. Gross profit for
existing business decreased $0.9 million, or 0.7%, primarily due to increases in net operating costs.
General and administrative expenses increased $18.0 million, or 19.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared
to the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily related to the acquisition of Bags, a one-time $1.7 million cost recovery (reduction
of expense) from a vendor partner recognized in 2018 and higher compensation and benefit costs, including costs associated
with our performance-based compensation program, partially offset by a reduction in acquisition, restructuring and integration
related costs.
Our effective tax rate was 27.3% for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to 25.8% for the year ended December 31,
2018. The increase in the effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2019 reflects the benefit recorded in 2018 related
to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the ”2017 Tax Act”).

2019, compared to $98.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Gross profit percentage decreased to 39.3% for the
year ended December 31, 2019, compared to 39.4% for the year ended December 31, 2018. Gross profit increased as a result
of increases in new/acquired business and existing business, partially offset by a decrease in expired business. Gross profit for
existing business increased $0.1 million, or 0.1%.

from expired business. Existing business revenue increased $1.0 million, or 4.6%, primarily due to an increase in transient
revenue.
Management type contracts. Management type contract revenue increased $150.6 million, or 148.8%, to $251.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $101.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Revenue from other
business decreased by $152.5 million, or 648.9%, primarily due to increases of $150.1 million from new/acquired business and
$2.4 million from expired business. Existing business decreased $1.9 million, or 2.4%, primarily due to changes in contract terms
for certain management type contracts, whereby the contract terms converted from “reverse” management type contracts to
management type contracts, which typically have lower management fees from the facility owner but do not require us to pay
certain operating costs associated with the facilities operation, partially offset by increased management fees.

Analysis of Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We continually project anticipated cash requirements for our operating, investing and financing needs, as well as cash flows
generated from operating activities available to meet these needs. Our operating needs can include, among other items,
commitments for cost of services, operating leases, payroll, insurance claims, interest and legal settlements. Our investing and
financing spending can include payments for acquired businesses, joint ventures, capital expenditures, cost of contracts,
distributions to noncontrolling interests, share repurchases and payments on our outstanding indebtedness.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $13.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $190.3 million of borrowing availability under
our Senior Credit Facility. COVID-19 and the resulting global disruptions have negatively affected the global economy, as well as
our business and the businesses of our customers and clients. The full impact of COVID-19 on our business and the businesses
of our customers and clients is unknown and highly unpredictable and could continue beyond the containment of the COVID-19
outbreak. We are taking further actions to improve our liquidity, including, without limitation, reducing operating expenses and
capital expenditures and suspending repurchases of our common stock. Based on these actions and our expectations regarding
the impact of COVID-19, we believe we will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations and remain in
compliance with our existing debt covenants for the next twelve months.
Outstanding Indebtedness
As of December 31, 2020, we had total indebtedness of approximately $362.1 million, a decrease of $6.9 million from $369.0
million as of December 31, 2019. The $362.1 million included:
•
•
$330.6 million under our Senior Credit Facility (as defined below); and
$31.5 million of other debt including finance lease obligations.
Senior Credit Facility
On November 30, 2018, we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as
Administrative Agent, and various other institutions (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders made available to us, a senior
secured credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”). The Senior Credit Facility was further amended during 2020 and 2021. See
Item 9B. Other Information for further information.
Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement (as defined in Item 9B. Other Information), term loans under the Senior Credit
Facility are subject to scheduled quarterly payments of principal in installments equal to 1.25% of the initial aggregate principal
amount of such term loan through the first quarter of 2021 and will increase to 1.875% thereafter.
We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $190.3 million of borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement, of which we could have
borrowed $21.6 million on December 31, 2020 and remained in compliance with the above described covenants as of such date.
Our borrowing availability under the Amended Credit Agreement is limited only as of our fiscal quarter-end by the covenant
restrictions described above. At December 31, 2020, we had $49.0 million letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit
Facility and borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility aggregated to $333.2 million (excluding debt discount of $0.9 million
and deferred financing costs of $1.7 million).
32
Stock Repurchases
On March 10, 2020, we suspended stock repurchases in order to help improve liquidity in response to the impacts of COVID-19.
In May 2016, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) authorized us to repurchase, on the open market, shares of our outstanding
common stock in an amount not to exceed $30.0 million. Under this program, the entire authorized amount was applied to
repurchase 988,767 shares of common stock at an average price of $30.30 resulting in completion of the program in August
2019.
In July 2019, the Board authorized us to repurchase, on the open market, shares of our outstanding common stock in an amount
not to exceed $50.0 million in aggregate. Under this program,
we repurchased 393,375 shares of common stock at an average price of $38.78 during the year ended December 31, 2020.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, we repurchased 652,000 shares of common stock at an average price of $38.88
under this program.
In March 2020, the Board authorized a new program to repurchase, on the open market, shares of our outstanding stock in an
amount not to exceed $50.0 million in aggregate. We have yet to repurchase shares under this program.
As of December 31, 2020, $59.4 million remained available for repurchase under the July 2019 and March 2020 stock repurchase
programs. Purchases of our common stock may be made in open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at
prevailing market prices, in block trades, or by other means in accordance with Rules 10b-18 and 10b5-1 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 at time and prices considered to be appropriate at our discretion. As noted above, we have currently
suspended stock repurchases. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular amount of
common stock, has no fixed termination date and the program may be suspended at any time at our discretion.
Share repurchase activity under the stock repurchase programs for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows:

We provided $34.6 million and $33.0 million in letters of credit to collateralize other obligations as of December 31, 2020 and
2019, respectively.
Interest Rate Collars
In May 2019, we entered into three-year interest rate collar contracts with an aggregate $222.3 million notional amount. The
interest rate collars are used to manage interest rate risk associated with variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit
Agreement. The interest rate collars establish a range where we will pay the counterparties if the one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR
rate falls below the established floor rate, and the counterparties will pay us if the one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rate exceeds the
established ceiling rate of 2.5%. The interest rate collars settle monthly through the termination date of April 2022. No payments
or receipts are exchanged on the interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the pre-determined
ceiling or floor rates. The notional amount amortized consistently with the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility under the
Credit Agreement prior to the Third Amendment. The interest rate collars were classified as cash flow hedges through May 5,
2020. On May 6, 2020, concurrent with entering into the Third Amendment, we de-designated the three-year interest rate collars.
Prior to de-designation, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the collars was reported in Accumulated other
comprehensive loss. Upon de-designation, the balance in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is being reclassified to Other
income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income on a straight-line basis through April 2022, which is over the
remaining life for which the interest rate collars had previously been designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value
of the collars after de-designation are included within Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, $1.6 million of interest was paid related to the interest rate collars.
We do not enter into derivative instruments for any speculative purposes.

Daily Cash Collections
As a result of day-to-day activity at our parking locations, we collect significant amounts of cash. Lease type 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 type contracts, clients may 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 may require us to deposit the daily receipts into client designated bank accounts and the clients then
reimburse us for operating expenses and pay our management fee subsequent to month-end, or may require segregated bank
accounts 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 accounts. For all these reasons, from time to time, we carry a significant cash balance,
while also utilizing our Senior Credit Facility.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We had cash and cash equivalents of $13.9 million and $24.1 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The cash
balances reflect our ability to utilize funds deposited into our bank accounts. Availability, timing of deposits and the subsequent
movement of cash into our corporate bank accounts may result in significant changes to our cash balances.
Summary of Cash Flows
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities and availability under our Senior Credit Facility. Our cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $35.8 million to $40.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 from
$76.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities primarily
resulted from the impacts of COVID-19, partially offset by lower cash taxes and favorable working capital management.
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $5.1 million to $76.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 from
$70.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities primarily
resulted from increased revenue, partially offset by higher cash interest.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $11.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $1.0 million from
$12.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. Cash used to purchase leasehold improvements, equipment and cost
of contracts was $11.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $12.8 million during the year ended
December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we sold investments and equipment for $1.2 million and bought
out a minority partner for $1.7 million as part of our decision to convert our agreement with the Bradley International Airport to a
standard management type agreement.
Net cash used in investing activities was $12.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, a decrease of $255.9 million
from $268.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December
31, 2018 included $277.9 million used for the acquisition of Bags and $19.3 million in proceeds received from the sale of an
equity method investee’s sale of assets. Cash used to purchase leasehold improvements, equipment and cost of contracts was
$12.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $10.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $39.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $40.4 million
from $79.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to lower repurchases of common
stock and lower net payments on the Senior Credit Facility.
Net cash used in financing activities was $79.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to net cash
provided by financing activities of $215.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Net cash provided by financing
activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 included net proceeds from the Senior Credit Facility of $222.2 million, which
was primarily used for the acquisition of Bags. Cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 included
$47.6 million for the repurchase of our common stock and net payments on the Senior Credit Facility of $26.3.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses
and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes.
The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies and estimates as the ones that are most important to the portrayal
of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and
subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this
definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We base these estimates and
judgments on historic experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. 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. We also have
other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to
understanding our results, which are included in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices of the notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15. "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules."
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. In accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") authoritative accounting guidance on goodwill, we evaluate goodwill for impairment on
an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances change that could cause goodwill to become impaired. We have elected
to assess the impairment of goodwill annually on October 1 or at an interim date if there is an event or change in circumstances
indicating the carrying value may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level; the
Company's reporting units represent its operating segments, consisting of Commercial and Aviation. Factors that could trigger
an impairment review include significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results,
significant changes in the use of acquired assets or its business strategy, and significant negative industry or economic trends.
We may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair
value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. As of January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2017-04, which eliminated the two step approach from the current goodwill impairment test and allows impairment to be
calculated based on the quantitative assessment. The determination of fair value of a reporting unit utilizes cash flow projections
that assume certain future revenue and cost levels, comparable marketplace data, assumed discount rates based upon current
market conditions and other valuation factors, all of which involve the use of significant judgement and estimates. We also assess
critical areas that may impact our business including economic conditions, market related exposures, competition, changes in
service offerings and changes in key personnel.
Other intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We evaluate the remaining useful life of
other intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to their remaining
useful lives. In addition, other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances change that would indicate the
carrying value may not be recoverable. Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of intangibles
are complex and subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic
trends, and internal factors, such as changes in our business strategy and internal forecasts. Although management believes the
historical assumptions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially
impact our reported financial results.
Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived assets, including ROU assets, leasehold improvements, equipment and construction in progress, for
impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.
We group assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified in order to measure an impairment. Events or
circumstances that would result in an impairment review include a significant change in the use of an asset, the planned sale or
disposal of an asset, or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset
35
group. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If it is determined to be impaired, the impairment
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
Assumptions and estimates used to determine cash flows in the evaluation of impairment and the fair values used to determine
the impairment are subject to a degree of judgment and complexity. Any changes to the assumptions and estimates resulting
from changes in actual results or market conditions from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets and
could result in an impairment charge.
Insurance Reserves
We purchase comprehensive casualty insurance covering certain claims that arise in connection with our operations. In addition,
we purchase umbrella/excess liability coverage. Under the various liability and workers' compensation insurance policies, we are
obligated to pay directly or reimburse the insurance carrier for the deductible / retention amount of each loss covered by our
general / garage liability, automobile, workers' compensation and garage keepers legal liability policies. As a result, we are in
effect, self-insured for all claims within the deductible / retention amount of each loss. Any loss over the deductible / retention is
the responsibility of the third-party insurer. We apply 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 us. The expense
recognition is based upon our 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. We utilize historical claims
experience and exposures specific to each type of insurance, along with actuarial methods performed quarterly by a third party
actuarial adviser in determining the required level of insurance reserves. As of December 31, 2020, the insurance reserve for
general, garage, automobile and workers’ compensation liabilities was recorded in Accrued and other current liabilities and Other
noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for short term and long term balances, respectively. 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. In determining the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, we primarily use the review of specific
accounts but also use historical collection trends and aging of receivables and make 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
Income tax expense involves management judgment as to the ultimate resolution of any tax issues. Historically, our assessments
of the ultimate resolution of tax issues have been reasonably accurate. The current open issues are not dissimilar from historical
items.
Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, such that deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between US GAAP amounts and the tax basis of
existing assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws and tax rates in effect for the periods in which these temporary
differences are expected to reverse or be settled. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during
the period in deferred income taxes. We have certain state net operating loss carry forwards which expire in 2040. 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.
When evaluating our tax positions, we account for uncertainty in income taxes in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The
evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process, the first step being recognition. The first step is to determine whether it is more-
likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation
processes, based on only the technical merits of the position and the weight of available evidence. If a tax position does not meet
the more-likely-than-not threshold, which is more than 50% likely of being realized, the benefit of that position is not recognized
in our financial statements. The second step is measurement of the tax benefit. The tax position is measured as the largest
amount of benefit that is more-likely-than-not of being realized, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate
resolution with a taxing authority.
Legal and Other Contingencies
We are subject to claims and litigation in the normal course of our business. The outcomes of claims and legal proceedings
brought against us and other loss contingencies are subject to uncertainty. We accrue a charge when we determine 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.
When a loss is probable, we record an accrual based on the reasonably estimable loss or range of loss. When no point of loss is
more likely than another, we record the lowest amount in the estimated range of loss and disclose the estimated range. We do
not record liabilities for reasonably possible loss contingencies, but do disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are
material and we are able to estimate such a range. If we cannot provide a range of reasonably possible losses, we explain the
factors that prevent us from determining such a range. 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. We regularly evaluate current
36
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 estimation and 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 to finance our operations. This Senior Credit 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 our exposure to an increase in interest rates. See Note 13. Borrowing
Arrangements to our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
If we were to borrow the entire $190.3 million available under the revolving credit facility, a one percent increase in the average
market rate would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of $1.9 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.

I
Foreign Currency Risk
Substantially all of our operations are conducted in the United States and, as such, are not subject to material foreign currency
exchange risk. All foreign investments are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the exception of Canada. We had approximately
$0.5 million of Canadian dollar denominated cash instruments at December 31, 2020, and no debt instruments denominated in
Canadian dollar at December 31, 2020. 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.

Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Prior to the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (the "Evaluation") as of the
last day of the period covered by this Form 10-K.
Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as controls and other
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
Based upon the Evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020,
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to promote reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed
by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately
and within the time frames specified in the SEC's rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.

Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control
Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions
of the Company's assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with GAAP, and that the Company's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of the Company's management and directors; and
(iii) 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.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our internal controls will
prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system
must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future
periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions,
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal
control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the
preparation and fair presentation of our published financial statements.
Prior to the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, our management assessed
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the last day of the period covered by the report. In making
this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2017 Framework). Based on our Evaluation under the COSO
Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.
Ernst & Young LLP has audited the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and, as part
of its audit, has issued an attestation report, included herein, on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
December 31, 2020, that were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15
and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control
over financial reporting.
Item 9B.
Other Information
Senior Credit Facility
On February 16, 2021 (the “Fourth Amendment Effective Date”), we entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth
Amendment”) to our credit agreement (as amended prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), the
“Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent, swing-line lender and a letter of
credit issuer; Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent; BMO Harris Bank N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., KeyBank
National Association and U.S. Bank National Association, as co-documentation agents; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners; and the lenders party thereto (the
“Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made available to us a senior secured credit facility (the “Senior Credit
Facility”). Prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and pursuant to the third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to our
credit agreement, which was entered into on May 6, 2020, the Senior Credit Facility permitted aggregate borrowings of $595.0
million consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $370.0 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 $225.0 million (the entire principal
amount of which we drew on November 30, 2018). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement as amended by the Fourth Amendment
(the “Amended Credit Agreement”), the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit facility decreased by $45.0 million to
$325.0 million.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at our option, 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 (i) the applicable pricing levels set forth in the Credit Agreement (the “Applicable Margin”) for London
Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) loans, subject to a “floor” on LIBOR of 1.00%, or a comparable or successor rate to LIBOR
approved by Bank of America, 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%, except that the Third Amendment provided that, for the period from May 6, 2020 until the date on which we
deliver a compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, (i) the interest rate applicable to both the term loan
38
and revolving credit facilities was fixed at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum and (ii) the per annum rate applicable to unused
revolving credit facility commitments was fixed at 0.375% (the “Fixed Margin Rates”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the
application of the Fixed Margin Rates was extended until the date on which we deliver a compliance certificate for the fiscal
quarter ending June 30, 2022.
Also pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, (a) we are subject to a liquidity test that requires us to have liquidity of at least $40.0
million at each of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, (b) we are subject to a requirement that, at any time cash on hand
exceeds $40.0 million for a period of three consecutive business days, we must repay revolving loans in an amount equal to
such excess. Certain other negative and financial covenants were amended, which included restrictions on certain Investments,
Permitted Acquisitions, Restricted Payments and Prepayments of Subordinated Debt (each as defined in the Amended Credit
Agreement and described in the Fourth Amendment), through the delivery of the compliance certificate for the fiscal quarters
ending March 31, 2022 or June 30, 2022, as applicable.
Prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, we were required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to EBITDA
ratio of between 5.50:1.0 and 3.50:1.0 (with such ratio being waived for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 and with certain
step-ups and step-downs described in, and as calculated in accordance with, the Credit Agreement that were amended under
the Fourth Amendment). In addition, we were required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not
less than 3.50:1.0 (with certain step-ups and step-downs described in the Credit Agreement that were amended under the
Fourth Amendment). Under the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the maximum consolidated debt to EBITDA ratio will be
waived for the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the maximum total debt to
EBITDA ratio required us to maintain a maximum ratio (as calculated in accordance with the Amended Credit Agreement) of
not greater than 4.75:1.0. Starting with the quarter ending September 30, 2021, we will be required to maintain a maximum
consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio (as calculated in accordance with the Fourth Amendment) of not greater than 5.25:1.0
(with certain step-downs described in the Amended Credit Agreement). As of December 31, 2020, we were required to
maintain a minimum consolidated fixed coverage ratio of not less than 2.50:1.0 (as calculated in accordance with the Amended
Credit Agreement). Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2021, we will be required to maintain a minimum consolidated
fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.60:1:0 (with certain step-ups and step-downs described in the Amended Credit
Agreement). On March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 only, we must maintain $40.0 million of Minimum Liquidity (as described in
the Amended Credit Agreement).
We incurred approximately $1.2 million for fees and other customary closing costs in connection with the Amended Credit
Agreement.
The forgoing description of the Fourth Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of
the Fourth Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1.4 hereto.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of SP Plus Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SP Plus Corporation (the Company) as of December 31,
2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of (loss) income, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as
the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013
framework) and our report dated February 22, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on
a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that
were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that
are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as
a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit
matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Goodwill impairment
Description of the
Matter
As described in Notes 1 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded impairment
charges on the goodwill within the Aviation reporting unit. The termination of certain Aviation contracts and
the impacts of COVID-19 caused a decline in the Company's expected future operating cash flow and
resulted in impairment triggers. As a result of these changes, the Company evaluated goodwill in its
Aviation reporting unit for recoverability and determined that the goodwill was impaired. The Company
recognized a $59.5 million impairment charge during 2020.
Auditing management’s goodwill impairment assessment was complex and highly judgmental due to the
significant estimation required to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. In particular, the fair value
estimate was based on significant assumptions, including revenue, cost of services and the discount rate,
which are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions.
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over
the Company’s goodwill impairment review process, including controls over management’s review of the
significant assumptions described above and identification of reporting units.
To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting unit, we performed audit procedures that
included, among others, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions discussed above
and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. We involved our valuation specialists to assist
in evaluating the Company’s valuation models and the reasonableness of the significant assumptions
described above. We compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and
economic trends and evaluated whether any changes to the Company’s business model, customer base
and other factors would affect the significant assumptions. We assessed the historical accuracy of
45
management’s estimates and reviewed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions to evaluate the
changes in the fair value of the reporting unit that would result from changes in the assumptions. In addition,
we tested management’s reconciliation of the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to the overall
market capitalization of the Company.
Long-lived Assets Impairment
Description of the
Matter
As described in Note 1, 2, 10 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2020 the Company
recorded impairment charges relating to long-lived assets. The termination of certain contracts and the
impact of COVID-19 caused a decline in the Company's expected future operating cash flows and resulted
in impairment triggers for certain asset groups. The Company’s tests of recoverability and fair value
measurements for the asset groups resulted in impairment charges of $98.7 million and $75.8 million
relating to right-of-use assets in the Commercial segment and intangible assets in the Aviation segment,
respectively.
Auditing the Company's measurement of impairment involved a high degree of subjectivity as estimates
underlying the determination of fair values were based on assumptions about future economic conditions.
Significant assumptions used in the Company’s fair value estimates included projected future revenues,
costs of services and the discount rates.
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over
the Company's processes to determine its asset groups, the fair value of the related assets and calculation
of the long-lived asset impairment charges. This included controls over management's cash flow models
and review of the significant assumptions as described above.
Description of the
Matter
To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s long-lived assets, we performed audit procedures that
included, among other procedures, assessing methodologies and testing the significant assumptions and
the underlying data used by the Company in its analyses. We involved our valuation specialists to assist in
evaluating the Company’s valuation models and the reasonableness of the significant assumptions. We
compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry and economic trends and
evaluated whether any changes to the Company’s business model, customer base and other factors would
affect the significant assumptions. For example, we compared the significant assumptions used to estimate
cash flows to current industry and economic trends, performed a sensitivity analyses of the significant
assumptions to evaluate the change in the fair value estimate that would result from changes in the
assumptions and recalculated management's estimate.
Valuation of insurance reserves incurred but not reported
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company purchases comprehensive
liability insurance covering certain claims that occur in its operations, including coverage for general, garage
and automobile liabilities. In addition, the Company purchases workers' compensation insurance coverage
for all eligible employees and umbrella/excess liability insurance coverage. Under these various insurance
policies, the Company is effectively self-insured for all claims up to the deductible / retention amount of each
loss. Any loss over the deductible / retention is the responsibility of the third-party insurer. The Company’s
insurance reserves for claims that have been incurred but not reported (IBNR) are based upon historical
claims experience and actuarial methods performed quarterly by a third-party actuarial advisor. As of
December 31, 2020, the insurance reserve for general, garage, automobile and workers’ compensation
liabilities are recorded in Accrued and other current liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets for the short term and long-term portions, respectively.
Auditing management's estimate of insurance reserves involved a high degree of subjectivity because the
estimate was sensitive to changes in assumptions, including assumptions for IBNR claims which includes
estimating reporting and payment patterns for losses and the count of IBNR claims, as well as expected loss
rates.
46
How We
Addressed the
Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over
the Company’s IBNR process, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions
described above.
To test the insurance reserves, we performed audit procedures over the completeness and accuracy of the
underlying claims data provided to management’s third-party actuarial advisers, which is the basis used to
estimate total ultimate dollar value of claims and the expected amount of IBNR claims. Furthermore, we
involved our actuarial specialist to assist in our evaluation of the methodologies and assumptions applied by
management’s third-party actuarial advisers in determining the actuarially determined reserve. We
compared the Company’s recorded reserves to a range which our actuarial specialist developed based on
independently selected assumptions. We also reconciled management’s third-party actuarial advisers’
report to the Company’s insurance liability reserve per the general ledger.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of SP Plus Corporation
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited SP Plus Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria
established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, SP Plus Corporation (the Company) maintained, in all material
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated
statements of (loss) income, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes and our report dated February 22, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion
thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’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 Management's Annual
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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.

SP Plus Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(millions, except share and per share data)
1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
The Company
SP Plus Corporation (the "Company") facilitates the efficient movement of people, vehicles and personal belongings with the goal
of enhancing the consumer experience while improving bottom line results for the Company’s clients. The Company provides
professional parking management, ground transportation, remote baggage check-in and handling, facility maintenance, security,
event logistics, and other technology-driven mobility solutions to aviation, commercial, hospitality, healthcare and government
clients across North America. The Company typically enters into contractual arrangements with property owners or managers as
opposed to owning facilities.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and Variable Interest
Entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S.
GAAP") 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of the Company's Canadian operations is the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the
Company's Canadian operations are translated from the Canadian dollar 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 Canadian dollar financial statements are accumulated and classified as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
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. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to withdrawal or
use under the terms of certain contractual agreements were $0.3 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively, and are included within Cash and cash equivalents within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represents the Company's 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, primarily
using a review of specific accounts, as well as historical collection trends and aging of receivables, and makes adjustments to
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, 2020 and 2019, the Company's allowance
for doubtful accounts was $5.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
Transactions affecting the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as

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 1 to 10 years.
Expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized.
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 remaining life of approximately 4.3 years).
Certain costs associated with directly obtaining, developing or upgrading internal-use software are capitalized and amortized over
the estimated useful life of software.
54
Cost of Contracts
Cost of contracts represents the cost of obtaining contractual rights associated with a managed type or lease-type contract. Cost
of parking contracts are amortized over the estimated life of the contracts, including anticipated renewals and terminations.
Estimated lives are based on the contract life or anticipated life of the contract. Effective January 1, 2019, cost of contracts
associated with leases within the scope of ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) are included in the right-of-use (“ROU”) assets
balance.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired. In accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") authoritative accounting guidance on goodwill, the Company evaluates goodwill for
impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or circumstances change that could cause goodwill to become impaired.
The Company has elected to assess the impairment of goodwill annually on October 1 or at an interim date if there is an event
or change in circumstances indicating the carrying value may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test is performed at
the reporting unit level; the Company's reporting units represent its operating segments, consisting of Commercial and Aviation.
Factors that could trigger an impairment review include significant under-performance relative to expected historical or projected
future operating results, significant changes in the use of acquired assets or its business strategy, and significant negative industry
or economic trends.
The Company may perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. As of January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, which eliminated the two step approach from the current goodwill impairment test and allows
impairment to be calculated based on the quantitative assessment. The determination of fair value of a reporting unit utilizes cash
flow projections that assume certain future revenue and cost levels, comparable marketplace data, assumed discount rates based
upon current market conditions and other valuation factors, all of which involve the use of significant judgement and estimates.
The Company also assesses critical areas that may impact its business including economic conditions, market related exposures,
competition, changes in service offerings and changes in key personnel.
Beginning in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) and the resulting stay at home orders issued by local
governments were beginning to impact certain of the Company’s businesses. These factors have significantly impacted the
hospitality and travel industries, as well as overall consumer discretionary spending.
Due to the impacts of COVID-19, revenues for certain markets in which the Company operates have dropped significantly as
compared to the expectations as of the October 1, 2019 annual impairment test. The Company does not know how long the
COVID-19 pandemic and its effects will continue to impact the results of the Company. In addition, certain Aviation contracts
were terminated in August 2020. The termination of these contracts and the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s
expected future operating cash flows triggered the Company to complete a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis for the
Aviation reporting unit as of August 31, 2020. Based on the quantitative analysis, the Company determined that estimated carrying
value exceeded implied fair value for the Aviation reporting unit and goodwill was impaired. See Note 11. Goodwill for further
discussion.
l
Other Intangible Assets, net
Other intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company
evaluates the remaining useful life of other intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events or circumstances
warrant a revision to their remaining useful lives. In addition, other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when
circumstances change that would indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Assumptions and estimates about future
values and remaining useful lives of intangible are complex and subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including
external factors such as industry and economic trends, internal factors, such as changes in the Company’s business strategy
and internal forecasts. Although management believes the historical assumptions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate,
difference assumptions and estimates could materially impact reported financial results.
As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s expected future operating cash flows, the Company determined certain
impairment triggers had occurred related to a proprietary know how intangible assets within the Aviation segment as of June 30,
2020. Accordingly, the Company analyzed undiscounted cash flows for the proprietary know how intangible asset as of June 30,
2020. Based on the undiscounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that the estimated net carrying value for the
proprietary know how intangible asset exceeded its undiscounted future cash flows and therefore, as of June 30, 2020, the asset
was impaired.
Additionally, as a result of the termination of certain contracts within the Aviation reporting unit during August 2020 and the
ongoing impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s expected future operating cash flows, the Company determined certain
impairment testing triggers had occurred related to the Company’s customer relationships and trade names and trademarks
intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company analyzed undiscounted cash flows for certain intangible assets as of August 31,
2020. Based on the undiscounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that estimated net carrying values exceeded
undiscounted future cash flows for certain intangible assets and therefore, as of August 31, 2020, certain intangible assets were
impaired.
The impairments recognized were measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the intangible assets exceed their fair
value. See Note 10. Other Intangible Assets, net for further discussion.
t
For both goodwill and intangible assets, future events may indicate differences from management’s judgements and estimates
which could, in turn, result in impairment charges. Future events that may result in impairment charges include extended
55
unfavorable economic impacts of COVID-19, increases in interest rates, which would impact discount rates, or other factors which
could decreases revenues and profitability of existing locations and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets, including ROU assets, leasehold improvements, equipment and construction in
progress, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not
be recoverable. The Company groups assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identified in order to measure
an impairment. Events or circumstances that would result in an impairment review include a significant change in the use of an
asset, the planned sale or disposal of an asset, or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with
the use of a long-lived asset group. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount of the asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If it is determined to be
impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's expected future operating cash flows, the Company’s management
determined impairment testing triggers had occurred for ROU assets associated with certain asset groups. Accordingly, the
Company analyzed undiscounted cash flows for these ROU assets during the year ended December 31, 2020. Based on the
undiscounted cash flow analysis, the Company determined that estimated net carrying values exceeded undiscounted cash flows
for ROU assets associated with certain asset groups and therefore for the year ended December 31, 2020, certain ROU assets
were impaired. The impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the ROU asset exceeded
its fair value. See Note 2. Leases for further discussion.
Assumptions and estimates used to determine cash flows in the evaluation of impairment and the fair values used to determine
the impairment are subject to a degree of judgment and complexity. Any future changes to the assumptions and estimates
resulting from changes in actual results or market conditions from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of long-lived
assets and could result in additional impairment charges. Future events that may result in impairment charges include extended
unfavorable economic impacts of COVID-19, or other factors which could decrease revenues and profitability of existing locations
and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities.
Accrued and other current liabilities
Components of accrued and other current liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
(millions)
AAccrued rent
Compensation and payroll withholdings
Property, payroll and other taxes

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature
of these financial instruments. Book overdrafts of $23.2 million and $29.3 million are included within Accounts payable within the
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Long-term debt has a carrying value that
approximates fair value because the instruments bear interest at variable market rates.
Insurance Reserves
The Company purchases comprehensive casualty insurance covering certain claims that arise in connection with its operations.
In addition, the Company purchases umbrella/excess liability coverage. Under the various liability and workers' compensation
insurance policies, the Company is obligated to pay directly or reimburse the insurance carrier for the deductible / retention
amount of each loss covered by its general / garage liability, automobile, workers' compensation and garage keepers legal liability
policies. As a result, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for all claims within the deductible / retention amount of each loss.
Any loss over the deductible / retention is the responsibility of the third-party insurer. 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 and exposures specific to each
type of insurance, along with actuarial methods performed quarterly by a third party actuarial adviser in determining the required
level of insurance reserves. As of December 31, 2020, the insurance reserve for general, garage, automobile and workers’
compensation liabilities is recorded in Accrued and other current liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated
Balance Sheets for short term and long term balances, respectively. 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.
Legal and Other Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of its 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 for pending legal
claims. See Note 19. Legal Proceedings for further discussion.
56
Services Revenue
The Company's revenues are primarily derived from management type and lease type contracts; whereby the Company provides
parking services, parking management, ground transportation services, baggage handling services and other ancillary services
to commercial, hospitality, institutional, municipal and aviation clients. Ancillary services include on-site parking management,
facility maintenance, ground transportation services, event logistics, remote airline check-in, security services, municipal meter
revenue collection and enforcement services, scheduling and supervising all service personnel as well as providing customer
service, marketing, and accounting and revenue control functions necessary to complete such services, payments received for
exercising termination rights, consulting development fees, gains on sales of contracts, insurance (general, workers'
compensation and health care) and other value-added services. In accordance with the guidance related to revenue recognition,
entities are required to recognize revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an
amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The
Company recognizes gross receipts (net of taxes collected from customers) as revenue from leased type contracts, and
management fees for 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.
Reimbursed Management Type Contract Revenue and Expense
The Company recognizes both revenues and expenses, in equal amounts, that are directly reimbursed for operating expenses
incurred under a management type contract. The Company has determined it is the principal in these transactions as the nature
of our performance obligations is for the Company to provide the services on behalf of the customer. As the principal to these
related transactions, the Company has control of the promised services before they are transferred to the customer.
Cost of Services
The Company recognizes costs for lease type contracts, non-reimbursed costs from management type contracts and reimbursed
management type contract expenses as cost of services. Cost of services consists primarily of rent and payroll related costs.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based payments to employees including grants of employee stock options, restricted stock units and performance-based
share units are measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and the related expense is recognized
over the requisite employee service period or performance period (generally the vesting period) for awards expected to vest. The
Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.
Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company has ownership interests in 29 active partnerships, joint ventures or similar arrangements that operate parking
facilities, of which 24 are consolidated under the VIE or voting interest models and 5 are unconsolidated where the Company’s
ownership interests range from 30-50 percent and for which there are no indicators of control. The Company accounts for such
investments under the equity method of accounting, and its underlying share of each investee’s equity is included in Equity
investments in unconsolidated entities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As the operations of these entities are consistent
with the Company’s underlying core business operations, the equity in earnings of these investments are included in Services
revenue - lease type contracts within the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The equity earnings in these related
investments were $1.3 million, $3.2 million, and $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
In 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture with Parkmobile USA, Inc. and contributed all of the
assets and liabilities of its proprietary Click and Park parking prepayment business in exchange for a 30% interest in the newly
formed legal entity called Parkmobile, LLC (“Parkmobile”). On January 3, 2018, the Company sold its entire 30% interest in
Parkmobile to Parkmobile USA, Inc. for a gross sale price of $19.0 million and recognized a pre-tax gain of $10.1 million, net of
closing costs. The pre-tax gain was included in Equity in (earnings) losses from investment in unconsolidated entity within the
Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company historically accounted for its
investment in the Parkmobile joint venture using the equity method of accounting, and its underlying share of equity in Parkmobile
was included in Equity investments in unconsolidated entities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The equity (earnings)
losses in the Parkmobile joint venture were historically included in Equity in (earnings) losses from investment in unconsolidated
entity within the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests represent the noncontrolling holders' percentage share of income or losses from the subsidiaries in which
the Company holds a majority, but less than 100 percent, ownership interest and the results of which are consolidated and
included within in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
57
Income Taxes
Income tax expense involves management judgment as to the ultimate resolution of any tax issues. Historically, the Company’s
assessments of the ultimate resolution of tax issues have been reasonably accurate. The current open issues are not dissimilar
from historical items.
Deferred income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method, such that deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between US GAAP amounts and the tax basis of
existing assets and liabilities based on currently enacted tax laws and tax rates in effect for the periods in which these temporary
differences are expected to reverse or be settled. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period plus the change during
the period in deferred income taxes. The Company has certain state net operating loss carry forwards which expire in 2036. The
Company considers a number of factors in its assessment of the recoverability of its 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 the Company's operating performance along with these considerations may significantly impact the amount of net
operating losses ultimately recovered, and the Company’s assessment of their recoverability.
When evaluating the Company’s tax positions, the Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in its Consolidated
Financial Statements. The evaluation of a tax position by the Company is a two-step process, the first step being recognition.
The first step is to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, including
resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on only the technical merits of the position and the weight of
available evidence. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, which is more than 50% likely of being
realized, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the Company’s financial statements. The second step is measurement
of the tax benefit. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more-likely-than-not of being realized,
which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate resolution with a taxing authority.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”) was signed into law. The 2017 Tax Act
included significant changes to the corporate income tax system in the United States, including a federal corporate rate reduction
from 35% to 21% and the transition of United States international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial tax system,
and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (SAB 118),
as issued to address the application of US GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information
available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete accounting for certain income tax
effects of the 2017 Tax Act. The Company completed its analysis of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in the fourth
quarter of 2018 in accordance with SAB 118.

Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate
Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides optional expedient and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts,
hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the
concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (IBORs) and, particularly, risks associated with the phase out of the
London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate
reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to
manipulation. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with
transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The ASU can be adopted no later than December
1, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting the standard on the Company's
financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.
59
Investments - equity securities; Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures; Derivatives and Hedging
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and
Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in this ASU clarify the interaction between
the accounting for investments in equity securities, investment in equity method and certain derivatives instruments. The ASU is
expected to reduce diversity in practice and increase comparability of the accounting for these interactions. This ASU is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting the standard on
the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.
In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements. This ASU addresses, a variety of topics in the
Accounting Standards Codification in order to improve consistency and clarify the guidance. The FASB provided transition
guidance for all of the amendments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of adopting the standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows
and financial statement disclosures.
2. Leases
The Company leases parking facilities, office space, warehouses, vehicles and equipment and determines if an arrangement is
a lease at inception. The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties. The Company's sublease portfolio consists of
operating leases for space within leased parking facilities.
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Topic 842. Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized
at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the Company's
"right-of-use" over an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. The ROU asset includes cumulative prepaid or accrued rent, as well as lease incentives, initial
direct costs and acquired lease contracts. The short term lease exception has been applied to leases with an initial term of 12
months or less and these leases are not recorded on the balance sheet.
As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the
information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company uses the implicit
rate when readily determinable. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For leases that include one or more options to renew, the exercise of such renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion
or mutual agreement. The Company’s lease term may include renewal options that are at the Company’s sole discretion and are
reasonably certain to be exercised. Equipment and vehicle leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The
depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title
or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Variable lease components comprising of payments that are a percentage of parking services revenue based on contractual
levels and rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation are not included in the lease liability. The Company's lease
agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Consistent with other long-lived assets or asset groups that are held and used, the Company tests ROU assets when impairment
indicators are present as detailed in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices.
As discussed in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices, due to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's expected
future operating cash flows, the Company determined certain impairment testing triggers had occurred within its asset groups.
Accordingly, the Company performed undiscounted cash flow analyses on certain operating lease ROU assets during the year
ended December 31, 2020. Based on the undiscounted cash flow analyses as of March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, September 30,
2020, and December 31, 2020, the Company determined that certain ROU asset groups had net carrying values that exceeded
their estimated undiscounted future cash flows and fair value for these asset groups was determined. The fair value of ROU
assets measured on a non-recurring basis, which is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, was determined based on
estimates of future discounted cash flows. The estimated fair values were compared to the net carrying values, and, as a result,
ROU assets held and used with a carrying amount of $278.9 million were determined to have a fair value of $180.2
million resulting in impairment charges of $98.7 million in the Commercial segment for the year ended December 31, 2020, of
which $97.1 million is included within Lease impairment in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and $1.6 million is
included within General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. No lease impairment
charges were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2019.
In April 2020, the FASB staff provided accounting elections for entities that receive or provide lease-related concessions to
mitigate the economic effects of COVID-19 on lessees. The Company elected not to evaluate whether certain concessions
provided by lessors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, that are within the scope of additional interpretation provided by the
FASB in April 2020, were lease modifications and has also elected not to apply modification guidance under Topic 842. These
concessions will be recognized as a reduction of rent expense in the month they occur and will be recorded within Cost of parking
services within the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. During the year ended December 31, 2020, as a result of the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Company was able to negotiate lease concessions with certain landlords. These rent
concessions have been recorded in accordance with the guidance noted above. As a result, the Company recorded $26.0 million
related to rent concessions as a reduction to cost of services during the year ended December 31, 2020.
60
Costs associated with the right to use the infrastructure on service concession arrangements are recorded as a reduction of
revenue in accordance with the scope of ASU No. 2017-10, Service Concession Arrangements (Topic 853): Determining the
Customer of the Operation Services. See Note 5. Revenue for further discussion on service concession arrangements.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, as a result of the ongoing COVID -19 pandemic, the Company was able to negotiate
cost reductions with certain entities related to service concession arrangements. As a result, the Company recorded $31.3 million
related to such cost reductions during the year ended December 31, 2020.

On November 30, 2018 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired the outstanding shares of ZWB Holdings, Inc. and Rynn's
Luggage Corporation, and their subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Bags"). Bags is a leading provider of baggage delivery,
remote airline check in, and other related services, primarily to airline, airport and hospitality clients. Subject to the terms and
conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $283.6 million as consideration for the acquisition of Bags. The
consideration was comprised of $275.0 million of cash paid by SP Plus, $8.1 million related to the net working capital and cash
acquired and $0.5 million for certain individual taxes to be paid by the seller (the “Cash Consideration”). As described in Note 20.
Segment Information, the Company integrated the Bags' operations into the Aviation segment, effective November 30, 2018.
The acquisition of Bags has been accounted for as a business combination, and assets acquired and liabilities assumed were
recorded at their estimated fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date was measured as the excess of consideration
transferred, which is also generally measured at fair value or the net acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed. The results of operations are reflected in the consolidated financial statements of the Company from the
acquisition date.
The Company incurred certain acquisition and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Bags that were expensed as
incurred and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. See Note 4. Acquisition, Restructuring and
Integration Costs for further discussion

Goodwill of $154.4 million represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination
that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The goodwill recognized was primarily attributable to expanded
revenue synergies and opportunities in the aviation and hospitality businesses, as well as other benefits that the Company
believes will result from combining its operations with the operations of Bags. The goodwill acquired is deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value for all identifiable intangible assets is based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset,
based on the most advantageous market for the asset (i.e., its highest and best use). The fair value of trade names was
determined with the relief from royalty savings method. The Company considered the return on assets and market comparable
methods when estimating an appropriate royalty rate for the trade names. The fair value of acquired customer relationships was
determined with the excess earnings method. This approach calculates the excess of the future cash inflows (i.e., revenue from
customers generated from the relationships) over the related cash outflows (i.e., customer servicing expenses) generated over
the useful life of the relationship. The fair value of developed or existing technology was determined utilizing the relief from royalty
savings method with additional consideration given to asset deterioration rates.

Unaudited Pro forma financial information
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, assumes the acquisition of Bags
was completed on January 1, 2018, and as such Bags pre-acquisition results have been added to the Company’s historical
results. The historical consolidated financial information of the Company and Bags have been adjusted to give effect to pro forma
events that are (1) directly attributable to the transaction, (2) factually supportable and (3) expected to have a continuing impact
on the combined results. The pro forma results contained in the table below include adjustments for (i) amortization of acquired
intangibles, (ii) reduced general and administrative expenses related to non-routine transaction expenses, (iii) increased interest
expense related to the financing of the acquisition of Bags, and (iv) estimated income tax effect.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not
necessarily indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that might have been achieved for the periods or
dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial statements do not give effect to the potential impact of any anticipated benefits from revenue synergies, cost
savings or operating synergies that may result from the acquisition of Bags or to any disynergies and integration related costs.
Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect possible adjustments related to potential
restructuring or integration activities that have yet to be determined or transaction or other costs following the combination that
are not expected to have a continuing impact on the business of the combined company. Further, one-time transaction-related
expenses anticipated to be incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the closing of the transaction were not included in the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statement of income as such transaction costs were determined not to be significant. Additionally,
the unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect the costs that the company has incurred or may incur to integrate
Bags.

Acquisition, Restructuring and Integration Costs
The Company incurred certain acquisition, restructuring and integration costs that were expensed as incurred, which include:
•
•
•
Costs (primarily severance and relocation costs) related to a series of Company initiated workforce reductions to
increase organizational effectiveness and provide cost savings that can be reinvested in the Company's growth
initiatives, during 2020, 2019 and 2018 (included within Cost of services and General and administrative expenses
within the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income);
Transaction costs and other acquisition related costs (primarily professional and advisory services, as well as write-offs
of aged receivables incurred prior to acquisition) primarily related to the acquisition of Bags (included within General
and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income) and;
Consulting costs for integration-related activities related to the acquisition of Bags incurred during the year ended
December 31, 2019 (included within General and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of (Loss)
Income).
Included in General and administrative expenses are severance related costs of $4.0 million during the year ended December
31, 2020, reflecting the actions the Company has taken to lessen the impacts of COVID-19 on the business. The acquisition,
restructuring, and integration related costs for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

5. Revenue
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Topics 606 and 853. Topic 606 requires entities to recognize revenue
when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which
the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
Contracts with customers and clients
The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are
identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
Once a contract is identified, the Company evaluates whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more
63
than one performance obligation. Substantially all of the Company's revenues come from the following two types of arrangements:
Lease type and Management type contracts.
Lease type contracts
Under lease type arrangements, the Company pays the property owner a fixed base rent, percentage rent that is tied to the
facility’s financial performance, or a combination of both. The Company operates the parking facility and is responsible for most
operating expenses, but typically is not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. Performance
obligations related to lease type contracts include parking for transient and monthly parkers. Revenue is recognized over time as
the Company provides services. As noted in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices and in accordance with Topic
853, certain expenses, primarily rental expense for the contractual arrangements that meet the definition of service concession
arrangements, are recorded as a reduction of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
Management type contracts
Management type contract revenue consists of management fees, including both fixed and performance-based fees. In exchange
for this consideration, the Company has a bundle of performance obligations that include services such as managing the facilities
as well ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, consulting, insurance and other value-added services. The
Company believes that it can generally purchase required insurance for the facility and facility operations at lower rates than
clients can obtain on their own because the Company is effectively self-insured for all liability, workers' compensation and health
care claims by maintaining a large per-claim deductible. As a result, the Company generates operating income on the insurance
provided under its management type contracts by focusing on risk management efforts and controlling losses. Management type
contract revenues do not include gross customer collections at the managed facilities as these revenues belong to the property
owners rather than to the Company. Management type contracts generally provide the Company with management fees
regardless of the operating performance of the underlying facilities. Revenue is recognized over time as the Company provides
services.
Service concession arrangements
Service concession agreements include both lease type and management type contracts. Revenue generated from service
concession arrangements, is accounted for under the guidance of Topics 606 and 853. Certain expenses (primarily rental
expense) related to service concession arrangements and depreciation and amortization, have been recorded as a reduction of
Service revenue - lease type contracts.
Contract modifications and taxes
Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. The Company considers contract
modifications to exist when the modification either changes the consideration due to the Company or creates new performance
obligations or changes the existing scope of the contract and related performance obligations. Most contract modifications are
for services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the fact that the Company is providing a bundle of performance
obligations that are highly inter-related in the context of the contract, and are therefore accounted for as if they were part of that
existing contract. Typically, modifications are accounted for prospectively as part of the existing contract.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing
transaction, which are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.
Reimbursed management type contract revenue and expense
The Company recognizes both revenues and expenses, in equal amounts, that are directly reimbursed from the property owner
for operating expenses incurred under a management type contract. The Company has determined it is the principal in these
transactions, as the nature of its performance obligations is for the Company to provide the services on behalf of the client. As
the principal to these related transactions, the Company has control of the promised services before they are transferred to the
client.
Disaggregation of revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by type of arrangement for each of the reportable
segments. The Company has concluded that such disaggregation of revenue best depicts the overall economic nature, timing
and uncertainty of the Company's revenue and cash flows affected by the economic factors of the respective contractual
arrangement. See Note 20. Segment Information for further information on disaggregation of the Company's revenue by segment.
Performance obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer or client, and is the unit
of account under Topic 606. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized
as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single
performance obligation that is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and therefore not distinct, comprising
the promise to provide a bundle of monthly performance obligations or parking services for transient or monthly parkers.
The contract price is generally deemed to be the transaction price. Some management type contracts include performance
incentives that are based on variable performance measures. These incentives are constrained at contract inception and
recognized once the customer has confirmed that the Company has met the contractually agreed upon performance measures
as defined in the contract.
64
The Company’s performance obligations are primarily satisfied over time as the Company provides the related services. Typically,
revenue is recognized over time on a straight-line basis as the Company satisfies the related performance obligation. There are
certain management type contracts where revenue is recognized based on costs incurred to date plus a reasonable margin. The
Company has concluded this is a faithful depiction of how control is transferred to the customer. Performance obligations satisfied
at a point in time for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were not significant.
The time between completion of the performance obligation and collection of cash is typically not more than 30 - 60 days. In
certain contractual arrangements, such as monthly parker contracts, cash is typically collected in advance of the Company
commencing its performance obligations under the contractual arrangement.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $118.0 million related to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially
unsatisfied for which the Company expects to recognize revenue. This amount excludes variable consideration primarily related
to contracts where the Company and customer share the gross revenues or operating profit for the location and contracts where
transaction prices include performance incentives that are constrained at contract inception. These performance incentives are
based on measures that are ascertained exclusively by future performance and therefore cannot be estimated at contract
inception by the Company. The Company applies the practical expedient that permits exclusion of information about the remaining
performance obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less.
The Company expects to recognize the remaining performance obligations as revenue in future periods as follows:

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable, contract assets and contract
liabilities. Accounts receivable represent amounts where the Company has an unconditional right to the consideration and
therefore only the passage of time is required for the Company to receive consideration due from the customer. Both lease type
and management type contracts have customers and clients where amounts are billed as work progresses or in advance in
accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms. Billing may occur subsequent to or prior to revenue recognition, resulting in
contract assets and liabilities. The Company, on occasion, receives advances or deposits from customers and clients, on both
lease and management type contracts, before revenue is recognized, resulting in the recognition of contract liabilities.
Contract assets and liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis and are included in Notes and accounts receivable,
net and Accrued and other current liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 1. Significant
Accounting Policies and Practices for additional detail on the write-off of accounts receivable. There were no impairment charges
recorded on contract assets and liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018. The following table provides

Cost of contracts, net represents the cost of obtaining contractual rights associated with providing services for lease or
management type contracts. Incremental costs incurred to obtain service contracts are amortized on a straight line basis over
the estimated life of the contracts, including anticipated renewals and terminations. The amortization period is consistent with the
timing of when the Company satisfies the related performance obligations. Estimated lives are based on the contract life.
See Note 9. Cost of Contracts, net for amortization expense related to cost of contracts. Amortization expense of cost of contracts
related to service concession arrangements within the scope of Topic 853 and certain management type contracts are recorded
as a reduction of revenue and were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
t
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, cost of contracts net of accumulated amortization included on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets within Other noncurrent assets was $4.8 million and $4.3 million, respectively. No impairment charges were recorded
during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
6. Net (Loss) Income per Common Share
Basic net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted daily average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is based upon the weighted
daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares, including
restricted stock units, using the treasury-stock method. Unvested performance share units are excluded from the computation of
weighted average diluted common shares outstanding if the performance targets upon which the issuance of the shares is
contingent have not been achieved and the respective performance period has not been completed as of the end of the period.
In periods where the Company has a net loss, restricted stock units are excluded from the calculation of net (loss) earnings per
common share, as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share and a reconciliation the weighted average basic common shares
outstanding to the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding was as follows:

units were excluded from the computation.
There were no additional securities that could dilute basic earnings per common share in the future that were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per common share, other than those disclosed.
7. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures stock-based compensation expense at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award
based on assumptions as of the grant date. The expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite employee
service period or performance period (generally the vesting period) for awards expected to vest. For those awards in which there
is no requisite service period, the Company immediately recognizes the compensation expense. If the award is later modified,
the Company may measure the award based on the estimated fair value at the modification date and recognize expense over
the remaining requisite employee service period or performance period. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based
awards as they occur.
The Company has an amended and restated long-term incentive plan (the "Plan") under which the Company may grant future
awards. On March 7, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved an amendment to the Plan that increased
the number of shares of common stock available under the Plan from 2,975,000 to 3,775,000. Company stockholders approved
the Plan amendment on May 8, 2018. Forfeited and expired options under the Plan become generally available for reissuance.
At December 31, 2020, 647,903 shares remained available for grant under the Plan.

In September 2014, the Board authorized a performance-based incentive program under the Plan (“Performance-based
Incentive Program”), whereby the Company may issue PSU’s to certain individuals that represent shares potentially issuable in
the future. The objective of the Performance-Based Incentive Program is to link compensation to business performance,
encourage the ownership of the Company’s common stock, retain key employees and reward management’s performance. The
Performance-Based Incentive Program provides participants with the opportunity to earn vested common stock if certain
performance targets for pre-tax cash flow are achieved over the cumulative three-year period starting in the year of grant and
the participants satisfy service-based vesting requirements. The stock-based compensation expense associated with
nonvested PSU’s is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the vesting period or minimum service period and
dependent upon the probable outcome of the number of shares that will ultimately be issued based on the achievement of pre-
tax cash flow over the cumulative three-year period.
The Company granted awards during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 of 96,056, 125,232 and 100,715,
respectively, under the Performance-Based Incentive Program. The performance target is based on the achievement of free
cash flow before cash taxes and interest payments over the cumulative three-year period starting in the year of grant, subject to
certain discretionary adjustments by the Board. The ultimate number of shares issued could change depending on the
Company’s results over the performance period. The maximum amount of shares that could be issued for the awards granted
in 2020 (“2020 PSU’s) and 2019 (“2019 PSU’s), are 181,504 and 227,478, respectively.
67
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Compensation
Committee of the Board modified the performance target for the awards granted in 2018 (“2018 PSU’s”), as well as evaluated
qualitative performance factors for the Company during 2020, which resulted in achievement of 95% of the target for the 2018
PSU’s. The 2018 PSU’s vested as of December 31, 2020. The Company concluded this determination was a Type III
modification and compensation expense was recorded based on the fair value of the awards at the date of modification. Had
the Compensation Committee not made this determination, the Company would have recorded no compensation expense
related to the 2018 PSU’s. The performance targets for the 2019 and 2020 PSU’s have not been amended. As such, during the
year ended December 31, 2020, $1.4 million of compensation expense related to the 2019 PSU’s was reversed, since the
Company no longer expected the required performance targets to be achieved. In addition, the Company has not recorded
compensation expense related to the 2020 PSU’s.

Asset additions are recorded at cost, which includes interest on significant projects. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line
basis over their estimated useful lives or the terms of the respective leases, whichever is shorter. Leasehold improvements,
equipment and construction in progress are reviewed for impairment when conditions indicate an impairment. If the assets are
determined to be impaired, they are either written down or the useful life is adjusted to the remaining period of estimated useful
life.

As discussed in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices, the Company determined impairment testing triggers had
occurred for certain intangible assets. The fair value of these intangible assets were classified as Level 3 in the fair value
hierarchy.
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's expected future operating cash flows, the Company analyzed undiscounted
cash flows as of June 30, 2020 and determined the carrying value for a proprietary know how asset was higher than its projected
undiscounted cash flows. As a result, the Company recorded $3.7 million of impairment charges within the Aviation segment
during the year ended December 31, 2020 which was recognized in Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the
Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income
.
Additionally, due to the termination of certain contracts within the Aviation segment during August 2020 and the impact of COVID-
19 on the Company's expected future operating cash flows, the Company analyzed undiscounted cash flows as of August 31,
69
2020 and determined the carrying values for the customer relationships and trade names and trademarks were higher than their
projected undiscounted cash flows. As a result, the Company recorded $72.1 million of impairment charges within the Aviation
segment during the year ended December 31, 2020 which was recognized in Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets in the
Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income

the new internal reporting structure
Segment Information for further discussion.
. See Note 20.
As discussed in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices, due to the impacts of COVID-19, revenues for certain
markets in which the Company operates have dropped significantly as compared to the expectations as of the October 1, 2019
annual impairment test. The Company does not know how long COVID-19 and its effects will continue to impact results of the
Company. In addition, certain Aviation contracts were terminated in August 2020. The termination of these contracts and the
ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on the Company’s expected future operating cash flows triggered the Company to complete a
quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as of August 31, 2020 for the Aviation reporting unit. Accordingly, the Company
determined the carrying value for the Aviation reporting unit was higher than its implied fair value. The implied fair value was
determined based on cash flow projections that assume certain future revenue and cost levels, comparable marketplace data,
assumed discount rates based upon current market conditions and other valuation factors. As a result, the Company recorded
$59.5 million of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2020, which was recognized in Impairment of goodwill
and intangible assets in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income. The fair value of goodwill was classified as Level 3 in the
fair value hierarchy. See Note 12 Fair Value Measurement for further discussion.
t
As of December 31, 2020 the Company performed a qualitative, rather than a quantitative, assessment to determine whether it
is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Generally, the more-likely-than-
not-threshold is a greater than 50% likelihood that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than the carrying value. In performing
the qualitative analysis, the Company considered various factors, including the Company’s stock price as of December 31, 2020
and the reporting units’ actual results compared to projections used in the August 31, 2020 goodwill impairment analysis. Based
on this qualitative analysis, the Company concluded there was no further impairment testing required. If the impacts from COVID-
19 exceed the Company’s current expectations, additional impairment charges could be recorded in future periods.
12. Fair Value Measurement
Fair Value Measurements-Recurring Basis
In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches within the fair value measurement framework. Fair
value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Applicable accounting literature establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of
observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when
available. 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. Applicable accounting literature defines levels within the hierarchy based on the reliability of inputs as
follows:
•
•
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.
70
•
Level 3: Inputs that are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are
unobservable.
Cash and cash equivalents are financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. See Note 1. Significant Accounting
Policies and Practices for further discussion. Interest rate collars are financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis. See Note 13. Borrowing Arrangements for further discussion.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of
assets resulting in impairment charges. 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. The Company utilizes Level 3 inputs in the determination of the initial fair value using certain
assumptions. See Note 3. Acquisition for further discussion.
Non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and leasehold improvements, equipment and construction in progress
are subsequently measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value when impairment is
recognized. The Company assesses 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 the Company’s
goodwill and intangible assets are not estimated if there is no change in events or circumstances that indicate the carrying amount
of the goodwill and intangible assets may not be recoverable.
For those assets and asset groups for which impairment was recorded, the fair value as of the measurement date, net book value
as of December 31, 2020 and related impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2020 were as follows:

On February 16, 2021 (the “Fourth Amendment Effective Date”), the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth
Amendment”) to the Company’s credit agreement (as amended prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as defined
below), the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), as Administrative Agent, swing-line lender and
a letter of credit issuer; Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent; BMO Harris Bank N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
KeyBank National Association and U.S. Bank National Association, as co-documentation agents; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner
& Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners; and the lenders party
thereto (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made available to the Company a senior secured credit facility (the
“Senior Credit Facility”). Prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and pursuant to the third amendment (the “Third
Amendment”) to our credit agreement, which was entered into on May 6, 2020, the Senior Credit Facility permitted aggregate
borrowings of $595.0 million consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $370.0 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 $225.0
million (the entire principal amount of which the Company drew on November 30, 2018). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement as
amended by the Fourth Amendment (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), the aggregate commitments under the revolving credit
facility decreased by $45.0 million to $325.0 million.
Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, 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 (i) the applicable pricing levels set forth in the Credit Agreement (the
“Applicable Margin”) for London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) loans, subject to a “floor” on LIBOR of 1.00%, or a
comparable or successor rate to LIBOR approved by Bank of America, 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%, except that the Third Amendment provided that, for the period from
May 6, 2020 until the date on which the Company delivers a compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021,
(i) the interest rate applicable to both the term loan and revolving credit facilities was fixed at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum and
(ii) the per annum rate applicable to unused revolving credit facility commitments was fixed at 0.375% (the “Fixed Margin
Rates”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the application of the Fixed Margin Rates was extended until the date on which
the Company delivers a compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022.
Also pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, (a) the Company is subject to a liquidity test that requires the Company to have
liquidity of at least $40.0 million at each of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, (b) the Company is subject to a requirement
that, at any time cash on hand exceeds $40.0 million for a period of three consecutive business days, the Company must repay
revolving loans in an amount equal to such excess. Certain other negative and financial covenants were amended, which
included restrictions on certain Investments, Permitted Acquisitions, Restricted Payments and Prepayments of Subordinated
Debt (each as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement and described in the Fourth Amendment), through the delivery of the
compliance certificate for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2022 or June 30, 2022, as applicable.
Prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Company was required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to
EBITDA ratio of between 5.50:1.0 and 3.50:1.0 (with such ratio being waived for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 and
with certain step-ups and step-downs described in, and as calculated in accordance with, the Credit Agreement that were
amended under the Fourth Amendment). In addition, the Company was required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed
charge coverage ratio of not less than 3.50:1.0 (with certain step-ups and step-downs described in the Credit Agreement that
were amended under the Fourth Amendment). Under the terms of the Fourth Amendment, the maximum consolidated debt to
EBITDA ratio will be waived for the quarters ending March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the
maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio (as calculated in accordance with the Amended Credit Agreement) required the Company
to maintain a maximum ratio of not greater than 4.75:1.0. Starting with the quarter ending September 30, 2021, the Company
will be required to maintain a maximum consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio (as calculated in accordance with the Fourth
Amendment) of not greater than 5.25:1.0 (with certain step-downs described in the Amended Credit Agreement). As of
December 31, 2020, the Company was required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed coverage ratio of not less than
2.50:1.0 (as calculated in accordance with the Amended Credit Agreement). Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2021,
the Company will be required to maintain a minimum consolidated fixed coverage ratio of not less than 1.60:1:0 (with certain
step-ups and step-downs described in the Amended Credit Agreement). On March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 only, the
Company must maintain $40.0 million of Minimum Liquidity (as described in the Amended Credit Agreement).
The Company incurred approximately $1.2 million for fees and other customary closing costs in connection with the Amended
Credit Agreement.
Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, term loans under the Senior Credit Facility are subject to scheduled quarterly
payments of principal in installments equal to 1.25% of initial aggregate principal amount of such term loan through the first
quarter of 2021 and will increase to 1.875% thereafter.
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
72
occurrence of a change of control event, and bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent can, with the consent of the required Lenders, among others (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. The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and such domestic subsidiaries’ guaranty obligations are
secured by substantially all of their respective assets. The Senior Credit Facility matures on November 30, 2023. The proceeds
from the Senior Credit Facility may be used to finance working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions, as well as for other
general corporate purposes. The Amended Credit Agreement did not change the guarantors, collateral, maturity date or permitted
uses of proceeds, except as otherwise described above. million for fees and other customary closing costs in connection with the
Amended Credit Agreement.
The Company incurred approximately $1.7 million for fees and other customer closing costs in connection with the Third
Amendment, which the Company entered into on May 6, 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement.
At December 31, 2020, the Company had $49.0 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility and
borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility aggregated to $333.2 million.
The weighted average interest rate on the Company's Senior Credit Facility and Former Restated Credit Facility was 3.6% and
3.4% for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The rate included all outstanding LIBOR contracts and
letters of credit. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings, not including letters of credit, was 3.8% and 3.6%
at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In connection with and effective upon the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement on November 30, 2018, the Company
recognized losses on extinguishment of debt relating to debt discount and debt issuance costs on the former credit facility. These
losses were not significant.
Interest Rate Collars
The Company seeks to minimize risks from interest rate fluctuations in the ordinary course of business through the use of interest
rate collar contracts. Interest rate collars, which are considered derivative instruments, are used to manage interest rate risk
associated with the Company’s floating rate debt. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments at fair value. Derivatives
held by the Company are usually designated as hedges of specific exposures at inception, with an expectation that changes in
the fair value will essentially offset the change in the underlying exposure. Discontinuance of hedge accounting is required
whenever it is subsequently determined that an underlying transaction is not going to occur, with any gains or losses recognized
in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income on a straight-line basis over the life of the original designation period, with any
subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. In May 2019, the Company entered into three-year interest rate collar
contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $222.3 million and maturity dates of April 2022. The interest rate collars were
used to manage interest rate risk associated with variable interest rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate
collars establish a range where the Company will pay the counterparties if the one-month LIBOR rate falls below the established
floor rate, and the counterparties will pay the Company if the one-month LIBOR rate exceeds the established ceiling rate of 2.5%.
The interest collars settle monthly through the termination date of April 2022. No payments or receipts are exchanged on the
interest rate collar contracts unless interest rates rise above or fall below the pre-determined ceiling or floor rates. The notional
amount amortized consistently with the term loan portion of the Senior Credit Facility under the Credit Agreement prior to the
Third Amendment. The fair value of interest rate collars is a Level 2 fair value measurement, as the fair value was determined
based on quoted prices of similar items in active markets. For the year ended December 31, 2020, a liability for Interest rate
collars of $3.1 million was included in Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and for the year ended
December 31, 2019, a liability for Interest rate collars of $0.6 million was included in Accrued and other current liabilities in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The interest rate collars were classified as cash flow hedges through May 5, 2020.
On May 6, 2020, concurrent with entering into the Third Amendment, the Company de-designated the three-year interest rate
collars. Prior to de-designation, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the interest rate collars was reported in
Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Upon de-designation, the balance in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is being
reclassified to Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income on a straight-line basis through April
2022, which is over the remaining life for which the interest rate collars had previously been designated as cash flow hedges.
Changes in the fair value of the interest rate collars after de-designation are included within Other income (expense) in the

The Company acquired Subordinated Convertible Debentures ("Convertible Debentures") as a result of the October 2, 2012
acquisition of Central Parking Corporation. The subordinated debenture holders have the right to redeem the Convertible
Debentures for $19.18 per share before their stated maturity (April 1, 2028) or upon acceleration or earlier repayment of the
Convertible Debentures. There were no redemptions of Convertible Debentures during the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019, respectively. The approximate redemption value of the Convertible Debentures outstanding at each of December 31, 2020
and December 31, 2019 was $1.1 million.
14. Stock Repurchase Program
In May 2016, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase, on the open market, shares of the Company's outstanding
common stock in an amount not to exceed $30.0 million. Under this program, the entire authorized amount was applied to
repurchase 988,767 shares of common stock at an average price of $30.30 resulting in completion of the program in August
2019.
In July 2019, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase, on the open market, shares of the Company's outstanding
common stock in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million in aggregate. Under this program, the Company repurchased 393,975
shares of common stock through December 31, 2020, at an average price of $38.78.
In March 2020, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase, on the open market, shares of the Company’s outstanding
common stock in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million in aggregate. During the year ended December 31, 2020, no shares had
been repurchased under this program.
As of December 31, 2020, $50.0 million and $9.4 million remained available for repurchase under the March 2020 and July 2019
stock repurchase programs, respectively. Under the programs, repurchases of the Company's common stock may be made in
open market transactions effected through a broker-dealer at prevailing market prices, in block trades or by other means in
accordance with Rules 10b-18, to the extent relied upon, and 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act at times and prices considered to
be appropriate at the Company's discretion. The stock repurchase programs do not obligate the Company to repurchase any
particular amount of common stock, have no fixed termination date, and may be suspended at any time at the Company's
discretion. On March 10, 2020 and continuing through December 31, 2020, in order to improve the Company's liquidity during
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company suspended repurchases under the stock repurchase programs.

The accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes requires that the Company 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. The Company has valuation
allowances of $10.7 million and $8.3 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily related to our state Net
Operating Loss carryforwards ("NOLs"), foreign tax credits and state tax credits that the Company believes are not likely to be
realized based on its estimates of future state taxable income, limitations on the uses of its state NOLs and the carryforward life
over which the state tax benefit is realized.
The Company recognized excess tax benefits of $0.1 million and $0.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2020 and
2019, respectively, and as a result of the required adoption of ASU 2016-09 – Improvements to Employee Share-based Payment
Accounting, the Company's effective tax rate may have increased volatility.
The Company has $20.5 million of tax effected state NOLs as of December 31, 2020, which will expire in the years 2021 through
2040. As noted above, the utilization of NOLs of the Company are limited.

Due to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act in 2020, the Company will be able to carry back its current year
taxable loss to the 2015 and 2016 tax years, which had a higher corporate tax rate. As a result, the Company recorded an income
tax refund receivable of $15.4 as of December 31, 2020, which is included in Prepaid and other current assets within the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Taxes paid were $2.4 million, $15.3 million and $15.3 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company finalized its accounting for the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act during the year ended December 31, 2018
and recorded a tax benefit of $1.5 million for the transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings.
The 2017 Tax Act also included a provision designed to tax Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”). The Company has
elected the period cost method to account for any tax liability subject to GILTI. The GILTI amount recognized during the years
ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was not significant.
As of December 31, 2020 the Company had not identified any uncertain tax positions that would have a material impact on the
Company's financial position.
The Company would recognize potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense.
The tax years that remain subject to examination for the Company's major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2020 were as
follows:
2017 - 2020
2016 - 2020
2016 - 2020
16. Benefit Plans
Deferred Compensation Arrangements
United States - federal income tax
United States - state and local income tax
Foreign - Canada and Puerto Rico
The Company offers deferred compensation arrangements for certain key executives. Certain employees are offered
supplemental pension arrangements, subject to their continued employment by the Company, in which the employees will receive
a defined monthly benefit upon attaining age 65. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had $3.4 million and $3.6 million,
respectively, recorded as Other noncurrent liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, representing the present value of
the future benefit payments. Expenses related to these plans amounted to $0.2 million for both the years ended December 31,
2020 and 2019, and $0.4 for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The Company also has agreements with certain former key executives that provide for aggregate annual payments over 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. Compensation cost was $0.3 million for both the years ended December 31, 2020
and 2019, and $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, 2018. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had
$2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, recorded as Other noncurrent liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets,
associated with these agreements.
Life insurance contracts with a face value of approximately $4.8 million and $5.4 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 have
been purchased to fund, as necessary, the benefits under the Company's deferred compensation agreements. The cash
surrender value of the life insurance contracts was approximately $3.4 million and $3.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and
2019, respectively, and classified as Other noncurrent assets, net, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The plan is a non-
qualified plan and not subject to ERISA funding requirements.
76
Defined Contribution Plans
The Company sponsors savings and retirement plans whereby the participants may elect to contribute a portion of their
compensation to the plans. The plan is a qualified defined contribution plan 401(k). The Company historically had contributed an
amount in cash or other property as a Company match equal to 50% of the first 6% of contributions as they occur. As a result of
COVID-19, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company suspended the Company match under the plan. The Company plans
to reinstitute the Company match once the impacts of COVID-19 have subsided. Expenses related to the Company's 401(k)
match amounted to $0.9 million, $2.0 million, and $2.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018,
respectively.
The Company also offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to those employees whose participation in the 401(k) plan
is limited by statute or regulation. This plan allows certain employees to defer a portion of their compensation, limited to a
maximum of $0.1 million 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 non-qualified deferred compensation liability. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the cash surrender
value of the COLI policies was $20.3 million and $17.3 million, respectively, and classified as Other noncurrent assets, net, within
the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability for the non-qualified deferred compensation plan is included in Other noncurrent
liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $20.3 million and $20.4 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019,
respectively. As a result of COVID-19, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company suspended participation in the non-
qualified deferred compensation plan. The Company reinstituted the participation for employees in the non-qualified deferred
compensation plan as of January 1, 2021.
Multi-Employer Defined Benefit and Contribution Plans
The Company contributes to a number of multiemployer defined benefit 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:
•
•
•
Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other
participating employers.
If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the
remaining participating employers.
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.
The Company's contributions represented more than 5% of total contributions to the Teamsters Local Union No. 727 and Local
272 Labor Management Benefit Funds for the plan years ending February 28, 2020 and November 30, 2020, respectively. The
Company does not represent more than five percent to any other fund. The Company's participation in these plans for the annual
periods ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, is discussed 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/Implementation" column indicates plans for which a Financial
Improvement Plan ("FIP") or a Rehabilitation Plan ("RP") is either pending or has been implemented. Finally, the "Expiration Date
of Collective Bargaining Agreement" column lists the expiration dates of the agreements to which the plans are subject.

Net expenses for contributions not reimbursed by clients and related to multiemployer defined benefit and defined contribution
benefit plans were $1.2 million, $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
The Company currently does not have any intentions to cease participating in these multiemployer pension plans.
17. Bradley Agreement
In February 2000, the Company, through a partnership agreement with a minority partner (the “Partnership”), entered into a 25-
year agreement (the "Bradley Agreement") with the State of Connecticut (the “State”) that was due to expire on April 6, 2025,
under which the Company would operate garage and surface parking spaces at Bradley International Airport (“Bradley”) located
in the Hartford, Connecticut metropolitan area.
77
Under the terms of the Bradley Agreement, the parking garage was financed through the issuance of State of Connecticut special
facility revenue bonds and provided that the Company deposited, with the trustee for the bondholders, all gross revenues
collected from operations of the garage and surface parking. From those gross revenues, the trustee paid debt service on the
special facility revenue bonds outstanding, operating and capital maintenance expenses of the garage and surface parking
facilities, and specific annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State. All of the cash flows from the parking facilities were
pledged to the security of the special facility revenue bonds and were collected and deposited with the bond trustee. Each month
the bond trustee made certain required monthly distributions, which were characterized as “Guaranteed Payments.” To the extent
the monthly gross receipts generated by the parking facilities were not sufficient for the bond trustee to make the required
Guaranteed Payments, the Company was obligated to deliver the deficiency amount to the bond trustee, with such deficiency
payments representing interest bearing advances to the bond trustee.
On June 30, 2020, the Company and the State agreed to terminate the Bradley Agreement, with an effective date of May 31,
2020 (the “Termination Agreement”). The Company then entered into a management type contract with the Connecticut Airport
Authority, effective June 1, 2020 (“Bradley Management Agreement”), under which the Company will provide the same parking
services for Bradley.
Under the terms of the Bradley Management Agreement, the Company is no longer required to make deficiency payments. In
addition, other than the contingent consideration discussed below, the Company has no other ongoing obligations under the
Bradley Agreement.
The total deficiency repayments (net of payments made), interest and premium received and recognized under the Bradley
Agreement for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Deficiency payments made under the Bradley Agreement were recorded as an increase in Cost of services - management type
contracts and deficiency repayments, interest and premium received under the Bradley Agreement were recorded as reductions
to Cost of services - management type contracts. The reimbursement of principal, interest and premium was recognized when
received.
On June 30, 2020, concurrent with the termination of the Bradley Agreement and effective as of May 31, 2020, the Company
entered into an agreement to purchase the minority partners’ share in the Partnership previously established to execute the
Bradley Agreement for a total cash consideration of $1.7 million. The consideration was paid in cash during the year ended
December 31, 2020. Under the terms of the Termination Agreement, the Company may be required to pay additional
consideration (“contingent consideration”) to the minority partner, that is contingent on the performance of the operations of
Bradley. The contingent consideration is not capped and if any, would be payable to the minority partner in April 2025. Based on
a probability weighting of potential payouts, the criteria to accrue for such potential payments had not been met and the contingent
consideration was estimated to have no fair value as of December 31, 2020. The Company will continue to evaluate the criteria
for making these payments in the future and accrue for such potential payments if deemed necessary.

19. Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of its business. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought
against the Company and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. The Company accrues a charge against
income when its management determines that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.
In addition, the Company accrues for the authoritative judgments or assertions made against the Company by government
agencies at the time of their rendering regardless of its intent to appeal. In addition, the Company is from time-to-time party to
litigation, administrative proceedings and union grievances that arise in the normal course of business, and occasionally pays
amounts to resolve claims or alleged violations of regulatory requirements. There are no "normal course" matters that separately
or in the aggregate, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations,
financial condition or cash flows.
In determining the appropriate accounting for loss contingencies, the Company considers the likelihood of loss or the incurrence
of a liability, as well as the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss. The Company regularly
evaluates current information available to determine whether an accrual should be established or adjusted. Estimating the
probability that a loss will occur and estimating the amount of a potential loss or a range of potential loss involves significant
estimation and judgment. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $6.0 million in reserves related to
legal matters.
20. Segment Information
Segment information is presented in accordance with a “management approach,” which designates the internal reporting used
by the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) 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 discrete
financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess
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 the CODM. The CODM is
the Company’s chief executive officer.
79
Each of the operating segments are directly responsible for revenue and expenses related to their operations including direct
segment administrative costs. Finance, information technology, human resources and legal are shared functions that are not
allocated back to the two operating segments. The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment using
information about its revenue and gross profit as its primary measure of performance, but does not evaluate segments using
discrete asset information. There are no inter-segment transactions and the Company does not allocate other income, interest
expense, depreciation and amortization or income taxes to the operating segments. The accounting policies for segment reporting
are the same as for the Company as a whole.
In July 2020, the Company changed its internal reporting segment information reported to the CODM. Certain hospitality locations
previously reported under Aviation are now included in Commercial. All prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the Company’s current reporting structure.
