Current report
Negative industry and macroeconomic conditions, including the impact of government actions and regulations on our customers or us, may materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Current report
We provide smart mobility technology solutions to customers in our Commercial Services, Government Solutions, and Parking Solutions business segments. Accordingly, the demand for our products in the past has been, and in the future may be, impacted by industry and macroeconomic trends and conditions impacting our customers, including seasonality, demand for business and leisure travel, changes to or disruptions in governmental budgeting, reductions in the level of air travel, higher airfare costs, energy shortages and cost increases, international, national, and local economic conditions and cycles, as well as other factors affecting travel levels, such as military conflicts, terrorist incidents, natural disasters, epidemic diseases, or a prolonged government shutdown. For example, our Commercial Services segment may be impacted by travel demand and extreme weather events which may impact overall travel demand in the United States. Our Government Solutions segment may be impacted to the extent our customers experience a reduction in political acceptance of or additional government restrictions on automated safety programs. Our Parking Solutions segment may be impacted to the extent our customers see an increase in usage of public transportation or rideshare, either of which may cause a decrease in parking usage. Furthermore, uncertain economic conditions may make it more difficult for us to raise funds through borrowings or private or public sales of debt or equity securities. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown, instability or recovery, generally or within any particular industry.
Current report
Government actions and regulations, such as tariffs and trade protection measures, may negatively impact our business. Political challenges between the United States and countries in which we operate, and changes to trade policies, including tariff rates and customs duties, trade relations between the United States and those countries, and other macroeconomic issues could adversely impact our business. The United States administration has announced tariffs on certain products imported into the United States, and some countries have imposed tariffs in response to the actions of the United States. There is also a possibility of future tariffs, trade protection measures, or other restrictions imposed by the United States or other countries.
Current report
In addition, consumer spending and activities may be materially adversely affected in response to financial market volatility, negative financial news, changes to or disruptions in governmental budgeting processes or amounts, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, declines in income or asset values, energy prices, labor and healthcare costs, and other economic factors, all of which may have a negative effect on our business and results of operations. Additionally, uncertainty about, or a decline in, global or regional economic conditions may have a significant impact on our suppliers, manufacturers, logistics providers, distributors, and other partners. Potential effects on our suppliers and partners include financial instability, inability to obtain credit to finance operations, and insolvency.
Current report
Negative conditions in the general economy, both in the United States and abroad, including conditions resulting from changes in gross domestic product growth, inflation, financial and credit market fluctuations, international trade relations, government shutdowns, pandemics, political turmoil, natural catastrophes, warfare, and terrorist attacks on the United States or elsewhere, could negatively affect customer demand and the growth of our business.
Current report
Our substantial level of indebtedness could cause our business to suffer and incurring additional debt could intensify debt-related risks.
Current report
We have a substantial amount of debt, including approximately $688.8 million outstanding under our first lien term loan facility as of October 17, 2025. Additionally, pursuant to an indenture, VM Consolidated issued an aggregate principal amount of $350 million in Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029. We may also incur substantial additional debt in the future to, among other things, finance our acquisition strategy. We have the option to increase commitments under our Amended Revolver by up to $75.0 million, all of which would be secured. We also have the ability to add one or more incremental term facilities or incremental revolving facilities or increase the amount of our Amended Term Loan, in each case by an unlimited amount, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders and the satisfaction of a maximum first lien, secured or total net leverage ratio or minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, on a pro forma basis, all of which may be secured. Our substantial debt could have important consequences, any of which could be intensified if new debt is added to our current debt levels. For example, it could:
Current report
limit our ability to obtain additional financing for future working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, and other general corporate requirements;
Current report
expose us to interest rate fluctuations because the interest rate on certain of our debt is variable;
Current report
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for operations and other purposes;
Current report
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our general business obligations, including our obligations to our lenders, resulting in possible defaults on and acceleration of such indebtedness;
Current report
limit our ability to refinance indebtedness or increase the associated costs;
Current report
require us to sell assets to reduce debt or influence our decision about whether to do so;
Current report
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate or prevent us from carrying out capital spending that is necessary or important to our growth strategy and efforts to improve operating margins; and
Current report
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to any competitors that have less debt or comparable debt at more favorable interest rates and that, as a result, may be better positioned to withstand economic downturns.
Current report
Restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness could restrict our operating flexibility.
Current report
The agreements governing our indebtedness limit our ability to take certain actions. These restrictions may limit our ability to operate our businesses, prohibit or limit our ability to enhance our operations or take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise, and cause us to take actions that are not favorable to stockholders.
Current report
The agreements governing our indebtedness restrict, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or other payments on capital stock, guarantee other obligations, grant liens on assets, make loans, acquisitions, or other investments, transfer or dispose of assets, make optional payments or modify certain debt instruments, engage in transactions with affiliates, amend organizational documents, engage in mergers or consolidations, enter into arrangements that restrict the ability to pay dividends, engage in business activities that are materially different from existing business activities, and change the nature of the business we conduct.
Current report
Under our Amended Term Loan, we could be required to make periodic prepayments based on excess cash flow (as defined by the Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement) thereby limiting the amount of cash flow that can be reinvested in our business. Under our Amended Revolver, if availability goes below a certain threshold, we will be required to comply with a minimum “consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio” financial covenant as calculated therein. Moreover, if availability falls below a certain threshold for a specified number of business days, we could be required to remit our cash funds to a dominion account maintained by the administrative agent to the Amended Revolver, which under certain circumstances could require daily review and approval of operating disbursements by the administrative agent.
Current report
Our ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in agreements governing our indebtedness may be affected by economic conditions and by financial, market and competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our ability to comply with these covenants in future periods will also depend substantially on the pricing and sales volume of our products and services and our ability to successfully implement our overall business strategy. The breach of any of these covenants or restrictions could result in a default under one or more of the agreements governing our indebtedness that would permit the applicable lenders to declare all amounts outstanding thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest. In that case, we may be unable to borrow under our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement or otherwise, may not be able to repay the amounts due under the agreements governing our indebtedness, and may not be able to make cash available by dividend, debt repayment, or otherwise. In addition, if we are unable to pay the amounts due under the Amended Term Loan, our lenders could proceed against the collateral securing the indebtedness under the Amended Term Loan, which consists of substantially all of our assets. Any of the foregoing could have material adverse effects to our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows and could cause us to become bankrupt or insolvent.

Previous wording
We cannot guarantee that our share repurchase programs will enhance long-term shareholder value. Share repurchases could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our stock and could diminish our cash reserves. In addition, Congress enacted the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, which (among other provisions) provided for a 1% excise tax on net share repurchases. This provision applies to share repurchases initiated after January 1, 2023.
