CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (NYSE American: BEEP), (“Mobile”, “Mobile Infrastructure” or the “Company”), owners of a diversified portfolio of parking assets throughout the United States, today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Commenting on the results, Manuel Chavez III, Chief Executive Officer, said “Our asset portfolio performance was stable in the third quarter, with Net Operating Income increasing 3.8% from the same period last year. Recurring contract parking volumes showed continued strength, offsetting sluggish transient business conditions that affected utilization at hospitality and event locations. As the third quarter progressed, several secular trends began to emerge that we believe will modestly benefit fourth quarter results and have a more meaningful positive impact in 2025.

“First, COVID-related cancellations of corporate parking contracts, which have masked new business growth for much of 2024, are now mostly behind us. Second, we are seeing early indications of return to office trends in our markets, particularly in the healthcare, professional services and food and beverage sectors. Lastly, the first of many conversions of downtown office space to residential rentals in our markets has been completed, which is creating 24/7 parking demand at our adjacent location where we currently have substantial capacity. Several other similar projects are scheduled for completion in 2025 and 2026, providing us with considerable future growth opportunities.

“Also, in the third quarter, we took several actions that we expect to ultimately enhance shareholder value. These include securing a $40.4 million line of credit to provide the flexibility to fund future preferred stock redemptions in cash rather than common stock, paying all accrued dividends on the preferred stock to-date, and commencing a common stock repurchase plan. These actions are designed to narrow the gap between Mobile’s Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of $7.25 per share and its current market price.”

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights

• Total revenue was $9.8 million as compared to $8.1 million in the prior-year period.
• Net loss was $1.9 million as compared to $24.6 million loss in the prior-year period.
• NOI* was $6.1 million as compared to $5.9 million in the prior-year period.
• Adjusted EBITDA* was $4.5 million as compared to $4.4 million in the prior-year period.
• Same location RevPAS was $227.60 as compared to $224.00 in the prior-year period

*An explanation of these items and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures are presented later in this press release.

Financial Results

Total revenue of $9.8 million during the third quarter of 2024 increased by 21.0% from $8.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Total property taxes and operating expenses for the third quarter of 2024 were $3.7 million, as compared to $2.2 million during the same period in 2023.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2024 of $2.7 million reflected $1.3 million of non-cash compensation, compared to general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2023 of $4.2 million, which reflected $3.1 million of non-cash compensation.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2024 was $3.3 million, as compared to $3.6 million during the third quarter of 2023.

Net loss was $1.9 million, compared with $24.6 million in the comparable prior-year period.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”), defined by the Company as total revenues less property taxes and operating expenses, was $6.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, representing a 3.8% increase from the third quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, representing a 2.2% increase over the same year-ago period.

Same location Revenue Per Available Stall (“RevPAS”), which calculates Parking Revenue per stall for the comparable portfolio of assets under management agreements year-over-year, was $227.60 for the third quarter of 2024, representing a 1.6% increase from the same year-ago period.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $14.3 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. As of September 30, 2024, total debt outstanding, including outstanding borrowings on the credit facility, line of credit and notes payable, was $203.3 million, compared to total debt outstanding of $192.9 million as of December 31, 2023.

Summary and Outlook**

“Our year-to-date results reflect ongoing progress in managing our asset portfolio and gaining additional oversight on expense. This has enabled us to reaffirm our full year 2024 guidance of revenue of $38 million to $40 million and Net Operating Income of $22.5 million to $23.25 million.

We believe we are at an inflection point with respect to our same location RevPAS metric, where we saw positive year-on-year comparisons in the third quarter now that the COVID-related contract cancellations are mostly behind us. Also, throughout 2024, we have taken advantage of market opportunities to profitably sell certain non-core assets in our portfolio. We continue to progress on refinancing our portfolio and expect to have successful actions to share before year-end 2024. Once complete, we will be even better positioned to seek out expansion opportunities and partnerships, benefitting from our market expertise,” Mr. Chavez concluded.

Discussion and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Net Operating Income

Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is presented as a supplemental measure of our performance. The Company believes that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations, as it highlights operating trends such as pricing and demand for our portfolio at the property level as opposed to the corporate level. NOI is calculated as total revenues less property operating expenses and property taxes. The Company uses NOI internally in evaluating property performance, measuring property operating trends, and valuing properties in our portfolio. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company’s NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of financial performance as it does not reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income and expenses, or the level of capital expenditures necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties that could materially impact results from operations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) reflects net income (loss) excluding the impact of the following items: interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and the provision for income taxes, for all periods presented. When applicable, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain recurring and non-recurring items from EBITDA, including, but not limited to gains or losses from disposition of real estate assets, impairment write-downs of depreciable property, non-cash changes in the fair value of the Earn-Out liability, merger-related charges and other expenses, gains or losses on settlements, and stock-based compensation expense.

The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparison with results from other companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company’s capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude depreciation and amortization expense because differences in types, use, and costs of assets can result in considerable variability in depreciation and amortization expense among companies. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense in all periods presented to address the considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use stock-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance which allows for comparison of earnings and evaluation of debt leverage and fixed cost coverage. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other operating GAAP measure.

Forward-Looking Basis

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact net income which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, external growth factors and balance sheet items, that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

The following table presents NOI as well as a reconciliation of NOI to Net Loss, the most directly comparable financial measure under GAAP reported in our consolidated financial statements, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

The following table presents the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):

Same location RevPAS

Revenue Per Available Stall (“RevPAS”) is used to evaluate parking operations and performance. RevPAS is defined as Parking Revenue (Parking Revenue less related Sales Tax/CC Fees) divided by the parking stalls in the locations the Parking Revenue was earned. Parking Revenue does not include Billboard or Commercial Rent, or revenue from locations that are under Lease Agreements. Parking Revenue is a meaningful component of revenue that is used to judge the performance of locations and the ability to manage each location. The Company believes RevPAS is a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period-over-period change in revenues for comparable locations. Parking Revenue should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance as it does not reflect all components of revenue for the Company, which may be material.

Same location RevPAS represents Parking Revenue at our assets under management agreements prior to 2Q24 with the exception of two assets where the Company does not have sufficient historical data to calculate RevPAS for all periods presented. The Company believes same location RevPAS is a key performance measure that allows for review of fluctuations in revenue without the impact of portfolio transaction or changes in revenue structure.

In 2024, same location RevPAS represents Parking Revenue per stall at the managed locations. For years prior to 2024, same location RevPAS represents Parking Revenue at the locations as reported by operators. This does not represent Rent earned by the Company, as the locations were under lease agreements where Rent earned by the Company did not equal revenue received by the operators at the locations.

Net Asset Value

The following table provides a breakdown of the major components of our total Net Asset Value attributable to the Company’s common stock, which were disclosed by the Company of June 30, 2024:

As with any valuation method, the methods used to determine our internally-prepared NAV per share were based upon a number of assumptions, estimates, forecasts and judgments that over time may prove to be incorrect, incomplete or may change materially. There are no rules or regulations that require us to calculate NAV in a certain manner. As a result, other public companies may use different methodologies or assumptions to determine NAV. In addition, NAV is not a measure used under GAAP and the valuations of and certain adjustments made to our assets and liabilities used in the determination of NAV will differ from GAAP. You should not consider NAV to be equivalent to stockholders’ equity or any other GAAP measure. The estimated value of the Company’s assets and liabilities is as of a specific date and such value is expected to fluctuate over time in response to future events, including, but not limited to, changes to commercial real estate values, changes in market interest rates for real estate debt, changes in capitalization rates, changes in laws or regulations, demographic changes, returns on competing investments, local and national economic factors, among other factors. Further, estimated NAV per share, if viewed in isolation, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the current value of the shares of the Company’s common stock. Our NAV is not a representation, warranty or guarantee that we would fully realize our NAV upon a sale of our assets or with respect to the trading price of our shares of common stock. Investors are advised to carefully review the Company’s disclosures filed with the SEC in evaluating the Company or making any investment decision related thereto.
