MESA, Ariz., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart mobility technology solutions, announced today the financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.
Third Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights
- Revenue: Total revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $258.9 million, a decrease of 1% compared to $261.9 million for the third quarter of 2025. Service revenue decreased 1%, driven by a 14% decline in our Commercial Services segment partially offset by 13% growth in our Government Solutions segment.
- Net income and Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS"): Net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $40.4 million, or $0.27 per share, based on 152.1 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Net income for the comparable 2025 period was $46.8 million, or $0.29 per share, based on 161.9 million diluted weighted average shares outstanding. The decrease in net income for the third quarter of 2026 was primarily due to decreased revenue and margins.
- Adjusted EPS*: Adjusted EPS for the third quarter of 2026 was $0.36 per share compared to $0.37 per share for the third quarter of 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA*: Adjusted EBITDA was $103.9 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $113.3 million for the same period in 2025. Adjusted EBITDA Margin* was 40% and 43% of total revenue for the 2026 and 2025 periods, respectively. The primary driver of the Adjusted EBITDA margin decline was an approximate 560 basis point decline in the Commercial Services segment profit margin.
- Net Cash Provided from Operations: Cash provided by operating activities increased by $36.8 million from $77.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $114.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. Net income quarter-over-quarter decreased by $6.4 million, from $46.8 million in 2025 to $40.4 million in 2026. The aggregate adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities decreased $12.3 million mainly due to decreases in stock-based compensation, deferred income taxes, and an uncertain tax position reserve release. The aggregate changes in operating assets and liabilities increased by $55.5 million in 2026 compared to the prior year period, of which the majority was attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable.
- Free Cash Flow*: Free Cash Flow was $89.4 million for the third quarter of 2026 compared to $49.0 million for the prior year period. The increase in Free Cash Flow is attributable to the items impacting cash provided by operating activities (as discussed above) and a reduction in capital expenditures.
*Non-GAAP measure; refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" further below for explanatory notes and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
We report our results of operations based on three operating segments:
- Commercial Services offers automated toll and violations management and title and registration solutions to rental car companies, fleet management companies and other large fleet owners.
- Government Solutions delivers automated safety solutions to municipalities, school districts and government agencies, including services and technology that enable photo enforcement cameras to detect and process traffic violations related to speed, red-light, school bus and city bus lane management.
- Parking Solutions provides an integrated suite of parking software, transaction processing and hardware solutions to universities, municipalities, parking operators, healthcare facilities and transportation hubs in the United States and Canada.
Third Quarter 2026 Segment Detail
- The Commercial Services segment generated total revenue of $100.3 million, a 14% decrease compared to $117.3 million in the same period in 2025. Segment profit was $61.3 million, a 22% decrease from $78.3 million in the prior year period. The decreases in revenue and segment profit compared to the prior year period resulted from a $16.1 million or 20% reduction in rental car companies ("RAC") tolling revenue, due to the effect of contract extensions entered into with two of our significant customers on terms materially less favorable to us than those of the prior agreement, fleet volume fluctuations with one significant customer, and reduced travel demand compared to the same period in 2025. U.S Transportation and Security Administration passenger volume in the third quarter of 2026 was approximately 3% less compared to the prior year period. Revenue derived from fleet management companies decreased $2.2 million or 13% in 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due to a one-time operational adjustment and prior period churn. Normalizing for these adjustments, fleet management revenue would have grown 4% over the prior year period. The segment profit margin was 61% for the third quarter of 2026 and 67% for the third quarter of 2025. Third quarter 2026 segment profit margins declined due to reduced RAC tolling revenue, increased credit loss expense and decreased volume rebates earned from total spend on credit card transactions due to decreased tolling and travel activity.
- The Government Solutions segment generated total revenue of $136.8 million, a 12% increase compared to $122.6 million in the same period in 2025. The increase was due to a 13% increase in service revenue over the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase of $8.6 million attributable to expansion in speed, red light, bus lane, school bus and other services, outside of NYCDOT. The remaining $5.6 million of growth, or 12%, is attributable to NYCDOT installation revenue on new camera installations, net of pricing changes under the new contract. In addition, product revenue increased approximately $0.1 million from the prior year period. The segment profit was $39.1 million in 2026 compared to $31.3 million in the prior year period with segment profit margins of 29% for 2026 and 26% for 2025. The increase in segment profit margins compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by NYCDOT installation volume, revenue mix and decreased wage expenses.
- The Parking Solutions segment generated total revenue of $21.7 million, a 2% decrease compared to $22.1 million in the same period in 2025, which was due primarily to a decrease in professional services and subscription services related to parking management solutions, partially offset by increases in software as a service ("SaaS") product offerings compared to the prior year period. The segment profit was $3.5 million compared to $3.8 million in the prior year period with segment profit margins of 16% for 2026 and 17% for 2025.
Liquidity and Debt: As of September 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $137.0 million and total debt, net was $1,033 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $114.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, and $211.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Net Debt and Net Leverage*: As of September 30, 2026, Net Debt was $903.3 million and Net Leverage was 2.2x, as compared to $971.8 million and 2.3x as of December 31, 2025.
*Non-GAAP measure; refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" further below for explanatory notes and a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Change in Executive Leadership and Organizational Realignment
As previously announced, on September 30, 2026, the Board appointed Jon Newhard as President and Chief Executive Officer of Verra Mobility, effective November 1, 2026, following a comprehensive search led by the Board and an executive search firm. He will succeed Jon Keyser, who has served as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer during the leadership transition. Mr. Newhard brings more than two decades of experience in the transportation and mobility industry. His leadership will support the continued execution of Verra Mobility's strategy, build on the Company's strong foundation and position the business for long-term growth. To help facilitate a smooth transition, Mr. Keyser has agreed to serve as Special Advisor through the remainder of 2026.
On October 15, 2026, we announced that Craig Conti will step down as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective November 4, 2026. The Board has retained a leading executive search firm, Spencer Stuart, to conduct a comprehensive search for a permanent CFO who can help advance the Company's strategy and support its next phase of growth.
On October 29, 2026, the Board appointed Matthew Kvarda as Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective November 5, 2026, to serve until a permanent Chief Financial Officer is appointed.
Mr. Kvarda is a Managing Director of Alvarez & Marsal North America, LLC ("A&M") in Los Angeles, California where he has worked since 2004. At A&M, Mr. Kvarda has served as Interim Chief Financial Officer or Interim senior management for a variety of public and non-public companies including Jacuzzi Brands, TEAM, Inc., Revlon, Inc. and 23andMe. Prior to joining A&M, Mr. Kvarda was a Senior Director at KPMG, LLP from 2002 to 2003. Mr. Kvarda was also a Senior Director with Arthur Andersen & Co. from 1996 to 2002 and also served as an Assistant Vice President at Bank of America from 1992 to 1996. Mr. Kvarda earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of California, San Diego, and an MBA from the University of California, Los Angeles. The Board believes that Mr. Kvarda's extensive financial experience and prior experience serving as Interim Chief Financial Officer make him well suited to serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
Following the pending executive leadership transition, and upon evaluating how the company is organized and managed, the company will make a determination as to its future segment reporting.
Commercial Services Customer Contracts
In July 2026, we entered into a seven-year contract extension with Avis Budget Group ("ABG") following the withdrawal of its previously issued termination notice. The revised agreement included materially less favorable terms compared to the prior contract and provided ABG with greater flexibility to adjust its fleet volumes.
During the third quarter, ABG significantly and abruptly reduced its fleet volumes under the parties' agreement, contrary to its prior stated intent to continue the parties' longstanding relationship. Given the significant reduction in fleet volumes and other factors, we determined that our mutual interests were no longer aligned, and terminating the contract was in Verra Mobility's best interest. As a result, on October 2, 2026, Verra Mobility exercised its contractual right to terminate the agreement effective on January 30, 2027. We have engaged Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP to vigorously support our protection of intellectual property, trade secrets and confidential information related to our tolling and violations solutions. Looking ahead, Verra Mobility will continue prioritizing opportunities that support sustainable growth and strong customer outcomes. We remain focused on serving our customers, managing the financial implications of these contractual changes and positioning the business for long-term success.
Separately, we also renewed our agreement with Hertz for five years, extending our more than 20 years of partnership, and agreed to collaborate on the development of new technology solutions. As previously disclosed, this contract extension was on materially less favorable terms to us than the prior agreement and contains fleet volume modulation rights that are subject to terms and conditions set forth in the agreement.
The Company's contract with Enterprise Mobility expires September 30, 2027, and Verra Mobility is following Enterprise's procurement process.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Impairments
We recorded a $64.0 million impairment to goodwill in our Parking Solutions segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which is presented in a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This was in connection with our 2026 assessment of goodwill impairment which determined that the Parking Solutions reporting unit carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value. As part of this assessment, we determined that the carrying value of certain intangibles within the Parking Solutions segment were not recoverable and recorded a $40.4 million impairment to intangibles in our Parking Solutions segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, which is presented in a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
2026 Full Year Guidance

Additional Information
We periodically provide information for investors on our corporate website, www.verramobility.com, and our investor relations website, ir.verramobility.com.
We intend to use our website including our quarterly earnings presentation as a means of disclosing material non-public information, additional financial and operating metrics and for complying with disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Accordingly, investors should monitor our website, in addition to following our press releases, SEC filings, public conference calls, webcasts, and social media. In addition, you may enroll to automatically receive e-mail alerts and other information about our company by visiting "Email Alerts" under the "Investor Resources" section of the "Investors" portion of our website.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information in this press release. These financial measures are not recognized measures under GAAP and are not intended to be, and should not be, considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Net Debt, and Net Leverage are non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. As a result, they may not be comparable to similarly titled performance measures presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measurements to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measurements have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review the reconciliations.
We are not providing a quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EPS, or Free Cash Flow which are included in our 2026 financial guidance above, in reliance on the "unreasonable efforts" exception for forward-looking non-GAAP measures set forth in SEC rules because certain financial information, the probable significance of which cannot be determined, is not available and cannot be reasonably estimated without unreasonable effort and expense. In this regard, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income, Adjusted EPS to net income per share and Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation. Due to the uncertainty of estimates and assumptions used in preparing forward-looking non-GAAP measures, we caution investors that actual results could differ materially from these non-GAAP financial projections.
We use the non-GAAP metrics EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to measure our performance from period to period, to evaluate and fund incentive compensation programs and to compare our results to those of our competitors. We use the non-GAAP metrics Free Cash Flow in connection with managing the business and we use the non-GAAP metrics "Net Debt" and "Net Leverage" to understand our overall leverage position and to evaluate capital allocation decisions. In addition, we also believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding financial and business trends related to our results of operations and that when non-GAAP financial information is viewed with GAAP financial information, investors are provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance, liquidity, and leverage relative to other periods. These non-GAAP measures have certain limitations as analytical tools and should not be used as substitutes for net income, cash flows from operations, earnings per share, other consolidated income, cash flow, or debt data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We define "EBITDA" as net income adjusted to exclude interest expense, net, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. "Adjusted EBITDA" further excludes certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items.
Free Cash Flow
We define "Free Cash Flow" as net cash flow provided by operating activities less purchases of installation and service parts and property and equipment.
Adjusted Net Income
We define "Adjusted Net Income" as net income adjusted to exclude amortization of intangibles and certain non-cash or non-recurring expenses such as loss on extinguishment of debt, among other items.
Adjusted EPS
We define "Adjusted EPS" as Adjusted Net Income divided by the diluted weighted average shares for the period.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
We define "Adjusted EBITDA Margin" as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.
Net Debt
We define "Net Debt" as total debt, net excluding original issue discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs, less cash and cash equivalents.
Net Leverage
We define "Net Leverage" as Net Debt divided by the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA as of the current quarter-end.
Additional Metrics
Recurring Revenue or Recurring Service Revenue
We define "Recurring Revenue" or "Recurring Service Revenue" as all revenue other than product sales for each of our segments, as we typically generate revenue on a recurring monthly basis under long-term contracts with our customers. This includes our Commercial Services segment where we generate service revenue through processing of tolls, violations, and titles and registrations.
TSA Volume
TSA passenger volume represents the number of airline passengers passing through Transportation Security Administration checkpoints.
