Verra Mobility (NASDAQ: VRRM) posts Q1 2026 results, keeps 2026 outlook
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Verra Mobility reported first quarter 2026 revenue of $223.6 million, essentially flat year over year, as growth in Government and Parking Solutions offset lower Commercial Services revenue from prior customer churn. Net income was $26.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, down from $32.3 million and $0.20.
Adjusted EBITDA declined to $86.0 million with a 38% margin, compared with $95.4 million and a 43% margin a year earlier, and Free Cash Flow fell to $9.6 million from $41.7 million. The company ended March 31, 2026 with $46.9 million in cash and $1,017 million in Net Debt, implying Net Leverage of 2.5x.
Verra Mobility repurchased 2,215,800 shares for $50.2 million and reaffirmed its 2026 guidance, including total revenue of $1,020–$1,030 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $405–$415 million, Adjusted EPS of $1.32–$1.38, and Free Cash Flow of $150–$160 million.
Positive
- 2026 guidance reaffirmed: Management maintained full-year 2026 targets, including total revenue of $1,020–$1,030 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $405–$415 million, Adjusted EPS of $1.32–$1.38, and Free Cash Flow of $150–$160 million, signaling confidence in the outlook despite a softer first quarter.
Negative
- Margins and cash flow weakened: Q1 2026 Adjusted EBITDA fell to $86.0 million with margin compressing to 38% from 43%, while Free Cash Flow declined sharply to $9.6 million from $41.7 million, and Net Leverage increased to 2.5x from 2.3x at year-end 2025.
Insights
Q1 shows margin and cash pressure, but full-year 2026 outlook is reaffirmed.
Verra Mobility delivered flat Q1 2026 revenue at $223.6 million, while net income fell to $26.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA declined to $86.0 million. Government Solutions and Parking Solutions grew, but Commercial Services softened due to earlier customer churn.
Profitability and cash generation tightened: Adjusted EBITDA margin slipped to 38% from 43%, and Free Cash Flow dropped to $9.6 million from $41.7 million as working capital absorbed more cash and capital expenditures increased in Government Solutions. Net Debt rose to $1,017 million, pushing Net Leverage to 2.5x.
The company still reaffirmed 2026 guidance for revenue of $1,020–$1,030 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $405–$415 million, Adjusted EPS of $1.32–$1.38, and Free Cash Flow of $150–$160 million. These targets assume approximately 155 million diluted shares, an effective tax rate of 28–29%, and about $125 million in 2026 capital expenditures, so future quarters will show how well execution tracks these assumptions.

Exhibit 99.1
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
6
Exhibit 99.1
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.
