Our Operations
Our history and resulting experience havehas 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 parking facility management, ground transportation services, baggage services and other ancillary services. We serve a variety of industries and have industry vertical specific specialization in airports, healthcare facilities, hotels, municipalities and government facilities, commercial real estate, residential communities, hotels and resorts, airports, airlines, cruise lines, healthcare facilities, municipalities and government facilities, retail operations, large event venues, and colleges and universities.
We operate our clients' facilities throughunder two primary types of arrangements: management type contracts and leases.lease type contracts.
Under a management type contract, we typically receive a basefixed and/or variable monthly fee for managing the facility,providing our services, and we may also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facilitycertain 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 property ownerclient 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.
As of December 31, 2016, we operated approximately 81% of our locations under management contracts, and approximately 19% of our locations under leases. We held a partial ownership interest in two parking facilities (one leased and one managed) as of December 31, 2016 and three parking facilities (two leased and one managed) as of December 31, 2015.
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 healthcare facilities.resorts, airlines and cruise lines. No single client accounted for more than 9%4% of our revenue, net of reimbursed management type contract revenue, or more than 3%4% of our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018. Additionally, we have built a diverse geographic footprint that as of December 31, 20162018 included operations in 45 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and municipalities, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Washington D.C. and Houston, among others, and three 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 parking locationsclients in a single market.
While a large shareshares of our operating arrangements are fixed-fee management type contracts, we continue to grow our lease type contracts and management type contract businesses. Generally, management type contracts provide us with insulation from economic cycles and enhance our earnings visibility because our management type contract revenue generally does not fluctuate materially in relation to variations in parking volumes;customer volume; our lease type contracts may experience greater variability, as revenues typically increase in periods of improving macroeconomic conditions through increased parkingcustomer volumes and typically decrease during periods of deteriorating macroeconomic conditions through reduced parkingcustomer volumes.
Our ability to innovate operations by integrating and incorporating appropriate technologies into our service lines allows us to further strengthen our relationships with clients, improve cost efficiency, enhance customer service and introduce new customer facing services. We also innovate through application of our in-house interactive marketing expertise and digital advertising to increase parking demand, development of electronic payment tools to increase customer convenience and streamline revenue processes, the use of advanced video and intercom services to enhance customer service to parking patrons 24-hours-a-day, the creation of our remote management services technology and operating center that enables us to remotely monitor facilities and parking operations, the use of our License Plate Recognition (LPR) system and video analytics for car counting, on-street enforcement and enhanced security and our proprietary MPM Plus® monthly parker management and billing system provides comprehensive and reliable billing of the parking-related provisions of multi-year commercial tenant leases.
We continue to be the market leader in the implementation of remote parking management services using technology that enables us to monitor parking operations from a remote, off-site location and provide 24-hour-a-day customer assistance. In addition, we provide subject matter expertise and other consulting services related to revenue control equipment. We also utilize mobile payment technology, including mobile payment apps, providing our customers with flexibility to meet their parking needs. Finally, we continue to utilize and provide leading on-demand and prepaid transaction processing technology for on- and off-street parking and transportation services.
As of December 31, 2016, we managed 3,686 parking facility locations containing approximately 2.0 million parking spaces in 357 cities, operated 78 parking-related service centers serving 73 airports, operated a fleet of approximately 700 shuttle buses carrying approximately 42.3 million passengers per year, operated 652 valet locations and employed a professional staff of approximately 22,500 people.

Industry Operating Arrangements
Parking facilitiesProfessional service businesses operate primarily under threetwo general types of arrangements:
management contract;
lease;type contracts; and
ownership.lease type contracts.
The general terms and benefits of these threetwo types of arrangements are as follows:
Management Type Contract
Under a management type contract, the facilityprofessional service operator generally receives a basefixed and/or variable monthly fee for managing the facilityproviding services and may receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facilitycertain performance objectives. FacilityProfessional 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 parking personnel, and providing revenue collection, accounting, record-keeping, insurance and facility marketing services. The facility ownerclient is usually is responsible for operating expenses associated with the facility's operation,client's operations, such as taxes, license and permit fees, insurance costs, payroll and accounts receivable processing and wages of personnel assigned to the facility,operation, although some management type contracts, typically referred to as "reverse" management type contracts, require the facilityprofessional 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 facility ownerclient 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 often be terminated, without cause, on 30-days' notice or less) and may contain renewal clauses.
Lease Type Contract
Under a lease type contract, the parking facilityservices operator generally pays to the client or property owner a fixed base rent or fee, percentage rent that is tied to the facility's financial performance of the operation, or a combination of both. The parking facilityprofessional 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, leaseslease type contracts typically are forhave longer terms of three to ten years, and often contain a renewal term and provide for a fixed payment to the facility ownerclient regardless of the facility's operating earnings. Many of these leaseslease type contracts may be canceled by the client for various reasons, including development of the real estate for other uses, and other leases may be canceled by the client on as little as 30 days' notice without cause. Leased facilitiesLease type contracts generally require larger capital investment by the parking facilityservices operator than do managed facilitiesmanagement type contracts and therefore tend to have longer contract periods.
OwnershipGeneral Business Trends
Ownership of parking facilities, either independently or through joint ventures entails greater potential risks and rewards than either managed or leased facilities. All owned facility revenue flows directly to the owner, and the owner hasWe believe that our clients recognize the potential for parking services, parking management, ground transportation services, baggage services and other ancillary services to realize benefitsbe a profit generator and/or a service differentiator to their respective customers. By outsourcing these services, they are able to capture additional profit and enhance the customer experience by leveraging the unique operational skills and controls that an experienced services company can offer.

Ownership of parking facilities usually requires large capital investments,profit and enhance the owner is responsiblecustomer experience for all obligations relatedour clients, thereby improving our ability to the property, including all structural, mechanicalwin contracts and electrical maintenance and repairs and property taxes.retain existing clients.
Industry Growth Dynamics
A number of industry trends should facilitate growth for larger outsourced commercial parking facility management providers, including the following:
Opportunities From Large Property Managers, Owners and Developers. As a result of past industry consolidation, there is a significant number of national property managers, owners and developers that own or manage multiple locations. Sophisticated property owners consider parking a profit center that experienced parking facility management companies can maximize. This dynamic generally favors larger parking facility operators that can provide specialized, value-added professional services with nationwide coverage.
Outsourcing of Parking Management and Related Services. Growth in the parking management industry has resulted from a general trend by parking facility owners to outsource the management of their parking and related operations to independent operators. We believe that entities such as large property managers, owners and developers, as well as cities, municipal authorities, hospitals and universities, in an effort to focus on their core competencies, reduce operating budgets and increase efficiency and profitability, will continue and perhaps increase the practice of retaining parking management companies to operate facilities and provide related services, including shuttle bus operations, municipal meter collection and valet parking.
Vendor Consolidation. Based on interactions with our clients, we believe that many parking facility owners and managers are evaluating the benefits of reducing the number of parking facility management relationships they maintain. We believe this is a function of the desire to reduce costs associated with interacting with a large number of third-party suppliers coupled with the desire to foster closer inter-company relationships. By limiting the number of outsourcing vendors, companies will benefit from suppliers who will invest the time and effort to understand every facet of the client's business and industry and who can effectively manage and handle all aspects of their daily requirements. We believe a trend towards vendor consolidation can benefit a company like ours, given our national footprint and scale, extensive experience, broad process capabilities and a demonstrated ability to create value for our clients.
Industry Consolidation. The parking management industry is highly fragmented, with hundreds of small regional or local operators. We believe national parking facility operators have a competitive advantage over local and regional operators by reason of their:
broad product and service offerings;
deeper and more experienced management;
efficient cost structure due to economies of scale; and
financial resources to invest in infrastructure and information systems.
General Business Trends
We believe that sophisticated commercial real estate developers and property managers and owners recognize the potential for parking and related services to be a profit generator rather than a cost center. Often, the parking experience makes both the first and the last impressions on their properties' tenants and visitors. By outsourcing these services, they are able to capture additional profit by leveraging the unique operational skills and controls that an experienced parking management company can offer. Our ability to consistently deliver a uniformly high level of parking and related services, including the use of various technological enhancements, allows us to maximize the profit to our clients and improves our ability to win contracts and retain existing locations.

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 who outsource the management of their parking operations and professional services often have a presence in a variety of urban markets and seek to outsource the management of their parking facilitiesoperations 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 continually 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.

We expect this business to grow as clients focus on improving the profitability of their parking operations by decreasing labor costs at their locations through remote management.management services.
Pursue Opportunistic, Strategic Acquisitions. The outsourced parking managementprofessional services industry remains highly 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 and investments, such as Central in 2012 and our minority interest investment in Parkmobile in 2014.Bags. We will continue to selectively pursue acquisitions and joint venture investment opportunities that help us acquire scale or further enhance our service capabilities.

SP+Hospitality Services is a leader in the valet industry, and management continues to believe there is significant opportunity to use SP+'s capabilities to further develop a national valet business. Our objective is to focus on the most important aspects of the valet 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 valet business is dependent upon ensuring that its valet associates deliver excellent service every day. To accomplish this objective, our SP+ University Services™ provides training to its valet associates. SP+ University Services™ continuously provides training to our valet professionals to become an integrated extension of our clients' staff and blend seamlessly into the overall hospitality experience.
Business Development
Our efforts to attract new clients are primarily concentrated in and coordinated by a dedicated business development group, whose background and expertise is in the field of sales and marketing, and whose financial compensation is determined to a significant extent by their business development success. This business development group is responsible for forecasting sales, maintaining a pipeline of prospective and existing clients, initiating contacts with such clients, and then following through to coordinate meetings involving those clients and the appropriate members of our operations hierarchy. By concentrating our sales efforts through this dedicated group, we enable our operations personnel to focus on achieving excellence in our parking facility operations, and maximizing our clients' parking profits, enhancing customer experience, and increasing our own profitability.
We also place a specific focus on marketing and client relationship efforts that pertain to those clients having a large regional or national presence. Accordingly, we assign a dedicated executiveexecutives to those clients to manage the overall client relationship, address any existing portfolio issues as well as to reinforce existing and develop new account relationships, and to take any other action that may further our business development interests.
Competition
The parking industry is fragmented and highly competitive. We face direct competition for additional facilities to manage or lease, while our facilities themselves compete with nearby facilities for our parking customers and in the labor market generally for qualified employees. There are only a few national parking management companies that compete with us. However, we also face competition from large national competitors and numerous smaller, locally owned independent parkingprofessional service providers and operators, as well as fromoperating an array of service offerings and professional service solutions, which may include developers, hotels and resorts, airports, airlines, cruise lines, national financial services companies and other institutions that may elect to internally manage their own parking facilities as well as facilities owned by others. Many municipalities and other governmental entities also operate their own parking facilities.professional services. Additionally, technological factors whichthat improve ride-sharing capabilities and increase the use of parking aggregators 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 aof the number of large companies that specialize in these services.
We believe that we compete for management contract type clients based on a variety of factors, including fees charged for services, ability to generate revenues and control expenses for clients, accurate and timely reporting of operational results, providing high quality of customer service and customer experience, and the ability to anticipate and respond to industry changes. Factors that affect our ability to compete for leasedlease 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 and Canada in order to support approximately 22,500 employees and 3,686 locations.23,500 employees. These offices serve as the centralized locations through which we provide the employees to staff our parking facilitiesprofessional services as well as the on-site and support management staff to oversee those operations. Our administrative staff accountants are primarily based in those same offices and facilitate the efficient, accurate and timely production and delivery of client deliverables, such as monthly reporting, etc. Having these all-inclusive operations and accounting teams located in regional and city offices throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico and Canada allows us to add new locations seamlesslyprofessional 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 information and technology are based in our Chicago corporate office and the Nashville and Orlando support office.
Clients and Properties
Our client base includes a diverse cross-section of public and private owners of commercial, institutional and municipal real estate.offices.
Employees
As of December 31, 2016,2018, we employed 22,490approximately 23,500 individuals, including 13,74314,200 full-time and 8,7479,300 part-time employees, and as of December 31, 2015,2017, we employed 21,97420,800 individuals, including 13,18713,100 full-time and 8,7877,700 part-time employees. Approximately 31%27% of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements and represented by labor unions.unions, which include various local operational employees. Various union locals represent parking attendants and cashierslocal operational employees in the following cities: Atlanta, Akron (OH), Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston, Buffalo, Burbank, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Jersey City,Flint, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Long Beach (CA), Los Angeles, Manchester (NH), Meadowlands, Miami, New York City, Newark, Oakland, Ontario (Canada), Oxon Hill, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, Rochester,Providence, Richmond, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, San Juan (Puerto Rico), Santa Ana, Santa Monica, Seattle, SyracuseWashington, D.C. and Washington, DC.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 good.
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, our automobile liability, our workers' compensation, and our 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 parking facility ownersclients on a stand-alone basis. The clients for whom we operate parking facilitiesprovide 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 an allocated portion of our insurance-related costs.
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 an allocated portion of our 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 parking facilities. Our facilities in New York City are, for example, subject to extensive governmental restrictions concerning automobile capacity, pricing, structural integrity and certain prohibited practices. 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, the City of New York and Boston imposed restrictions in the wake of the September 11 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, 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, including shuttle bus operations, we provide the vehicles and the drivers to operate these transportation 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 certain transportation services, including shuttle bus operations, baggage delivery services, and remote airline check-in, licensing and authorizations, safety, training and insurance requirements. Our employee driversemployees 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 could hamper our ability to provide qualified drivers andmay increase our operating costs.
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.
Various other governmental regulations affect our operation of parking 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 management type contracts and leaseslease type contracts with clients, we generally require that the property owner contractually assume responsibility for any ADA liability in connection with the property. There can be no assurance, however, that the property owner has assumed such liability for any given property and there can be no assurance that we would not be held liable despite assumption of responsibility for such liability by the property owner. Management believes that the parking facilities we operate are in substantial compliance with ADA requirements.
Regulations by the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") may affect our business. The FAA generally prohibits parking within 300 feet of airport terminals during times of heightened alert. The 300 foot 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 for both our leased facilities and those facilities we operate under management type contracts.

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 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.
We are subject to intense competition that could constrain our ability to gain business and adversely impact our profitability.
We believe that competition is intense in the parking facility management, valet, ground transportation services, and event management and baggage delivery businesses including other ancillary services that we offer. The low cost of entry into the parking facility management, valet, transportation services and event management businesses have led to a 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 that choose not to outsource their parking operations. Competitors may 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 proprietary technology. We provide nearly all of our services under contracts, many of which are obtained through competitive bidding, and many of our competitors also have long-standing relationships with our clients. Providers of parking facility managementsimilar services have traditionally competed on the basis of cost and quality of service. As we have worked to establish ourselves as principal membersleaders of the industry, 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 self-manage.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 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 often 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 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 increase prices even as costs rise, thereby reducing margins.
Changing consumer preferences 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 analyze and respond to consumer preferencespreference and changes to consumer preferences andin the markets in which we operate, consumer preferences cannot be predicted with certainty and can change rapidly. Additionally, changesChanges in consumer behaviors by using 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.preferences and may have an impact to the pricing customers are willing to pay. 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. 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 constrain our business and have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
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 higher 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 a result 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 coverage for certain insurable risks or obtaining coverage for certain insurable risks at a reasonable cost, and we are subject to volatility associated with our high deductible / retention insured and self-insured programs including the possibility that changes in estimates of ultimate insurance losses could result in a material changecharges against our operating results.
We use a combination of insured and self-insured programs to cover workersworkers' compensation, generalgeneral/garage liability, automobile liability, property damage and other insurable risks and we provide liability and workers' compensation insurance coverage consistent with our obligations to our clients under our various management contracts and leases.contracts. We are responsible for claims in excess of our retainedinsurance policies' limits, under our insurance policies, 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.
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. There can be no assurance, however, that the ultimate amount of our obligations will not exceed the amount presently funded or accrued, in which case we would need to set aside additional funds to reserve for any such excess. 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 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. There can be no assurance, however, that the ultimate amount of our obligations will not 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 insurance 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 operations 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 results, causing significant 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.increase.
Recent consolidation of entities in 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 incurrenceoccurrence of catastrophic uninsured claims or the inability or refusal of our insurance carriers to pay otherwise insured claims. Further, to the extent that we effectively 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 frequency of claims, the severity of claims, the costs of excess/umbrella premiums, regulatory changes, or consolidation of entities within the insurance industry 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 professional 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. In addition, there can be no assurance that we will not sustain material losses resulting from an issue where our insurance coverage is believed to be sufficient, but such coverage is either inadequate or we cannot access the coverage. Either of these scenarios may result in a material adverse impact on 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, and we expect to continue to acquire businesses in the future as part of our growth strategy. A slowdown in the pace or size of our acquisitions could lead to a slower growth rate. There can be no assurance that any acquisition we make, including Bags, will provide us with any of the benefits that we anticipate when entering into the 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 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;
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;
implementing internal controls, procedures, and policies appropriate for a public company in an acquired business that lacked some of these controls, procedures, and policies may fail;
acquired entities may not have in place all the necessary controls as required by the SEC and the Public Accounting Oversight Board;
integrating financial reporting policies in compliance with the SEC and other regulatory bodies may create adverse costs, time and resources for our financial personnel;
integrating acquired entities into our internal control over financial reporting has required and will continue to require significant time and resources from our management and other personnel and increase our compliance costs;
additional indebtedness incurred as a result of an acquisition may impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows; and
unanticipated or unknown liabilities may arise relating to the acquired business.
Our management type contracts and leaseslease type contracts expose us to certain risks.
The loss or renewal on less favorable terms of a substantial number of management type contracts or leaseslease 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 leaseslease 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 often 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 leaseslease type contracts because we are generally responsible for all the operating expenses of our leased locations. 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.
Deterioration in economic conditions in general could reduce the demand for parking and ancillaryour 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 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.centers or who use services in the travel and leisure industry. Our business could be materially adversely affected to the extent that weak economic conditions or demographic factors have resulted in the elimination of jobs and high unemployment in these large urban areas. In addition, increased unemployment levels, the movement of white-collar jobs from urban centers to suburbs or out of North America entirely, increased office vacancies in urban areas, movement toward home office alternatives or lower consumer spending could reduce consumer demand for our services.
Adverse changes in economic conditions could also lead to a decline in parking at airports and commercial facilities, including facilities owned by retail operators and hotels. In particular, reductions in parking at leased facilities can lower our profit because a decrease in revenue would be exacerbated by fixed costs that we must pay under our leases.
If adverse economic conditions reduce discretionary spending, business travel or other economic activity that fuels demand for our services, our earnings could be reduced. Adverse changes in local and national economic conditions could also depress prices for our services or cause clients to cancel their agreements to purchase our services.
We are increasingly dependent on information technology, and potential disruption, cyber-attacks, cyber terrorismcyber-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 centralized and 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, or disruption of operations.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.
Furthermore, while we continue to devote significant resources to monitoring and updating our systems and implementing information security measures to protect our systems, there can be no assurance that any controls or procedures that we have in place will 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 launched against a target; accordingly,target. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures.
Additionally, our systems are 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 and impediments to our ability to manage customer transactions, which could adversely affect our operations and our results of operations. In addition, there is a risk of business interruption, reputational damage and potential legal liability damages from leakage of confidential information. 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 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 damage to our reputation. We have also implemented additional security measures including, for example, forcing our vendors to use two-factor authentication for remote access.
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 that other third-party payment processing vendors will not suffer a similar attack in the future, that unauthorized parties will not gain access to personal financial information, or that any such incident will be discovered in a timely manner.
We have incurred indebtedness that could adversely affect our financial condition.
In November 2018, we entered into a new credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility"). The Senior Credit Facility provides for a senior secured $325.0 million revolving credit facility and a $225.0 million term loan which is scheduled to mature in November 2023. The facility is secured by a lien on all of our assets. Failure to comply with covenants or to meet payment obligations under our 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 cannot assure you that we will 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.
Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved in the normal course of business 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 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. In addition, we are subject toBecause our business employs a significant number of ongoing legal proceedings, andemployees, we may incur substantial expenses defending such matters and may have judgments leviedrisks that these individuals will make claims against us that are substantialfor violating various employment-related federal, state and local laws. Some or all of these claims may not be covered by previously established reserves.
We have incurred indebtedness that could adversely affect our financial condition.
As of December 31, 2016, we had total outstanding indebtedness against the Restated Credit Facility of $196.3 million (excluding debt discount of $1.2 millionlead to litigation, including class action litigation, and deferred financing costs of $1.6 million). This level of indebtedness and any potential increases in outstanding indebtedness:
could requirethese matters may cause us to dedicate a significant percentage of our cash flow from operationsincur negative publicity with respect to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund capital expenditures, pursue other acquisitions or investments in new technologies, make stock repurchases, pay dividends and for general corporate purposes;
could increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic conditions, including increases in interest rates if the borrowings bear interest at variable rates or if such indebtedness is refinanced at a time when interest ratesthese alleged claims. Additionally, there are higher; and
could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in or challenges relating to our business and industry, creating competitive disadvantages compared to other competitors with lower debt levels and borrowing costs.
Failure to comply with covenants or meet payment obligations under our credit facility could result in the 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 oremployees in some states, such as California, resulting from new and unanticipated judicial interpretations of existing laws and the application of those new interpretations of existing laws and the application of those new interpretations against employers on a portion of our indebtedness on or before their respective maturities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including indebtedness under our Restated 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.retroactive basis.
We must comply with public and private regulations that 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 of these 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 now be liable for such costs as a result of such previous and current ownership. In addition, from time to time we are involved in environmental issues at certain locations or 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 addition, several state and local laws have been passed in recent years that encourage carpooling and the use of mass transit. Laws and regulations that reduce the number of cars and vehicles being driven could adversely impact our business.
In connection with ground transportation services and certain transportation and baggage services provided to our clients, including shuttle bus operations, we providebaggage handling and delivery services and remote airline check-in services, the vehicles and the drivers to operate these transportation 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 employee driversemployees 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 could hamper our ability to provide qualified drivers and increase our operating costs. There can be no assurance that our compliance with new rules and regulations, directives, anticipated rules or other forms of regulatory oversight will not 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 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 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 the U.S. President, the U.S. President's Administration, or the current and future U.S. Congress, but we will monitor developments regarding legislation changes and regulatory shifts.
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 accounts we do not consider collectible, 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 leaseslease type contracts or management type contracts by clients in bankruptcy.
Our risk management and safety programs may not have the intended effect of allowing us to reduce our insurance costs for our insurance programs.costs.
We continually attempt to mitigate the aforementioned risk that our insurance coverage may be inadequatebusiness and operating risks through the implementation of company-wide safety and loss control effortsprograms designed to decrease the incidence of accidents or events that might increase our exposure or liability. However, there can be no assurance that our insurance coverage may be inadequate despite the implementation of company-wide safety and loss control efforts or may not be accessible in certain instances any of which would result in additional costs to the Company and may adversely impact our results of operations.
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 when 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. There can be no assurance that we will be able to renew existing labor union contracts on acceptable terms. In such cases, there are no assurances that we would be able to staff sufficient employees for our short-term needs. A strike, work slowdown or other job action could in some cases disrupt us from providing 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. The result of 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, 2016,2018, approximately 31%27% of our employees were represented by labor unions and approximately 46%39% of our collective bargaining contracts are up for renewal in 2017,2019, representing approximately 27% 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, or 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.
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 degree, 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.
Negative or unexpected tax consequences could adversely affect our results of operations.
Adversequalified employees while controlling labor costs. Our ability to control labor costs is subject to numerous internal and external factors, including changes in underlying profitabilityimmigration policy, regulatory changes, prevailing wage rates, and financial outlook of our operations could leadcompetition we face from other companies to changesattract and retain qualified employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain qualified employees in valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets on our consolidated balance sheet,the future, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Additionally, changes in U.S. tax laws or state tax laws or our interpretation of existing laws in states where we have significant operations could have ana material adverse effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheetsbusiness, financial condition and results of operations. We are also subject to tax audits by governmental authorities in the United States and Canada. Negative unexpected results from one or more such tax audits 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.
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: (i) additional operating losses and expenses in the businesses acquired or joint ventures in which we have made investments, (ii) 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, (iii) potential unknown liabilities associated with a company we may acquire or in which we invest, (iv) requirements or obligations to commit and provide additional capital, equity, or credit support as required by the joint venture agreements, (v) the joint venture partner may be unable to perform its obligations as a result of financial or other difficulties or be unable to provide for additional capital, equity or credit support under the joint venture agreements and (vi) 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 which could adversely impact our financial results.
Weather conditions, including natural disasters, or acts of terrorism could disrupt our business and services.
Weather conditions, including fluctuations in temperatures, hurricanes, snow or severe weather storms, earthquakes, drought, heavy flooding, mud slides, large scale forest fires, natural disasters or acts of terrorism may result in reduced revenues and gross profit. Weather conditions, natural disasters and acts of terrorism may also cause economic dislocations throughout the country. Weather conditions, including natural disasters, could lead to reduced levels of travel and require increase in certain costs of parking services of which could negatively affect gross profit. In addition, terrorist attacks have resulted in, and may continue to result in, increased government regulation of airlines and airport facilities, including imposition of minimum distances between parking facilities and terminals, resulting in the elimination of currently managed parking facilities. 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. While the prohibition is not currently in effect, there can be no assurance that this governmental prohibition will not again be reinstated. 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 for both our leased facilities and those facilities and contracts we operate under management type contracts.
Because our business is affected by weather relatedweather-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 urban, airport and hotel parking;our services; and
increased costscost of parking services, such as snow removal.removal and longer delivery times for our baggage delivery services
These factors have typically had negative impacts to our gross profit in the first quarterand fourth quarters and could cause gross profit reductions in the future, either in the first quarterand fourth quarters or other quarters. As a result of these seasonal affects, our revenue and earnings in the second, third and fourth quarters generally tend to be higher than revenue and earnings in the first quarter. Accordingly, you should not consider our first quarter results as indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any full fiscal year. Fluctuations in our results could make it difficult to evaluate our business or cause instability in the market price of our common stock.
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, and we expect to continue to acquire businesses in the future as part of our growth strategy. A slowdown in the pace or size of our acquisitions could lead to a slower growth rate. There can be no assurance that any acquisition we make in the future will provide us with the benefits that we anticipate when entering into the transaction. 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:
management time and focus may be diverted from operating our business to acquisition integration;
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;
implementing internal controls, procedures, and policies appropriate for a public company in an acquired business that lacked some of these controls, procedures, and policies may fail;
additional indebtedness incurred as a result of an acquisition may impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows; and
unanticipated or unknown liabilities may arise relating to the acquired business.
Goodwill 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. We have elected to make the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter, October 1st, the 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. 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 estimated 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. Any impairment could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial results for the period in which the charge is taken.
Impairment of long-lived assets may adversely affect our operating results.
We evaluate our long-lived 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 or a change in its physical condition. 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 as a result of this test 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. The amount of any impairment could have a material adverse effect on our reported financial results for the period in which the charge is taken.
State and municipal government clients may sell or enter into long-term leaseslease 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 leaseslease 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 leased facilitieslease type contracts and those facilities in whichor contracts we operate under management type contracts.
Our ability to expand our business will be dependent upon the availability of adequate capital.
The rate of our expansion 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, our RestatedSenior Credit Facility contains provisions that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and/or make substantial investments or acquisitions. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be ablehave the ability to financeobtain adequate capital to expand our current growth strategies.business.
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, there can be no assurance that we would 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.
Federal health care reform legislation may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 werewas signed into law in the U.S. (collectively,(the "ACA"). Among other things, the "Health Care Reform Laws"). The Health Care Reform Laws requireACA requires large employers to provide a minimum level of health insurance for all qualifying employees or pay penalties for not providing such coverage. In addition,Although the Health Care Reform Laws establish new regulations on health plans. Accordingly,ACA has been fully implemented, we could incur costs associated with: (i) providing additional health insurance benefits; (ii) the payment of penalties if the minimum level of coverage is not provided; and (iii) the filing of additional information with the Internal Revenue Service to comply with these laws.
We cannot predict with certainty what the repeal or modifications to the ACA or additional healthcare initiatives, if any, will be implemented at the federal or state level, or what the ultimate effect of The Health Care Reform Laws or any future healthcare legislation or regulation will have on us. In addition, it is possible that the new U.S. President's Administration and U.S. Congress may seek to modify, repeal or otherwise invalidate all, or certain provisions of, the current health care reform legislation. Further, regardless of the prevailing political environment in the United States, ifIf we are unable to raise the rates we charge our clients to cover expenses incurred due to the Health Care Reform LawsACA or other additional healthcare initiatives, our operating profit could be negatively impacted.
We do not maintain insurance coverage for all possible risks.Changes in tax laws or rulings could materially affect our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
We maintain a comprehensive portfolioare 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 insurance policiesexisting laws, could materially affect our business. Due to help protect us against losseconomic and political conditions, tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or damagewithout 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 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 from a wide variety of insurable risks. Each year, we review with our professional insurance advisers whether the insurance policies and associated coverages that we maintain are sufficient to adequately protect us from the various types of risk toin jurisdictions for which we are exposednot 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 ordinary courserelevant tax, accounting and other laws regulation, administrative practices, principles and interpretations. Additionally, adverse changes in the underlying profitability and financial outlook of business. That analysis takes into account various pertinent factors suchour 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 that we would incur a material lossof an adverse outcome resulting from any given risk, as well asthese examinations to determine the costadequacy of obtaining insurance coverage against any such risk. Thereits provision for taxes and there can be no assurance as to the outcome of such tax audits and examinations. 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.
Uncertainties in the interpretation and application of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act could materially affect our tax obligations and effective tax rate.
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 includes 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. The U.S. Department of Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), foreign jurisdictions, state jurisdictions, and other standard-setting bodies could interpret or issue additional guidance on how provisions of the 2017 Tax Act will be applied or otherwise administered that is different than our interpretation.
Additionally, foreign and state jurisdictions may enact tax laws in response to the 2017 Tax Act that could result in further changes to taxation and materially affect our financial position and results of operations or different than current regulations.
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 not sustain a material loss foracquire or in which we do not maintaininvest;
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 perform its obligations as a result of financial or other difficulties or be unable to provide for 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 or adequate, insurance coverage.
Our business success depends on our ability to preserve long-term client relationships.
We primarily provide services pursuant to agreements that are cancelable by either party upon 30-days’ notice. As we generally incur higher initial costs on new contracts, our business associated with long-term client relationships is generally more profitable than short-term client relationships. If we lose a significant number of long-term clients,which could reduce our profitability and harm our business. In addition, valuations supporting our acquisitions or investments in joint ventures could be negatively impacted, even if we gain equivalent revenues from new clients.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.
Actions of activist investors could disrupt our business.
Public companies have been the target of activist investors. 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.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.

Office Leases

We believe that these spaces will be adequate to our meet currentproperties are well maintained, in good operating condition, and foreseeable future needs. We also lease regional offices in various cities insuitable for the United States and Canada. These lease agreements generally include renewal and expansion options, and we believe that these facilitiespurposes for which they are adequate to meet our current and foreseeable future needs.used.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
General
We are subject to claims and litigation in the normal course of our business. Thebusiness, 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 and claims brought against us and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. 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 against income 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. In addition, we are from time-to-time party to litigation, administrative proceedings and union grievances that arise in the normal course of business, and occasionally pay non-material 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 our operations, financial condition or cash flow.
In determining the appropriate loss contingencies, we consider the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as our ability to reasonably estimate the amount of potential loss. 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 potential loss or a range of potential loss involves significant estimation and judgment.
Settlement with Former Central Stockholders
On December 15, 2016, we settled disputes involving our acquisition on October 2, 2012 of 100% of the outstanding common shares of KCPC Holdings, Inc., which was the ultimate parent of Central with, among other parties, each of Kohlberg CPC Rep, L.L.C., KOCO Investors V, L.P., Kohlberg Offshore Investors V, L.P., Kohlberg Investors V, L.P., Kohlberg Partners V, L.P., and Kohlberg TE Investors V, L.P. (collectively, the “Kohlberg Entities”); and each of Versa Capital Fund I, L.P. and Versa Capital Fund I Parallel, L.P. (collectively, the “Versa Entities”); and each of Lubert-Adler Real Estate Fund V, L.P. and Lubert-Adler Real Estate Parallel Fund V, L.P. (collectively, “Lubert-Adler Entities”). As of February 22, 2017, the Kohlberg Entities collectively own approximately 16.2% of our common stock, the Versa Entities collectively own approximately 2.3% of our common stock, and the Lubert-Adler Entities collectively own approximately 6.0% of our common stock. In addition, Paul Halpern, who resigned as a director on December 14, 2016, is affiliated with the Versa Entities; and directors Seth H. Hollander, Jonathan P. Ward and Gordon H. Woodward are affiliated with the Kohlberg Entities.
The Agreement and Plan of Merger related to the Central Merger (“Merger Agreement”) provided that Central’s former stockholders were entitled to receive cash consideration in the amount equal to $27.0 million three years after closing, subject to indemnification obligations of Central’s former stockholders and other adjustments. Post-closing claims and disputes arose between the parties, including as to indemnification matters and obligations. On September 27, 2016, the Company and Central's former stockholders agreed-upon non-binding terms to settle all outstanding matters between the parties relating to the Central Merger, and on December 15, 2016 the Company and Central's former stockholders executed a settlement agreement ("Settlement Agreement") to settle all outstanding matters between the parties relating to the Central Merger. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, we paid Central's former stockholders $2.5 million in aggregate, which effectively reduced the $27.0 million cash consideration that would have been payable by us to Central's former stockholders under the Merger Agreement by $24.5 million. As a result of the Settlement Agreement, we recorded $0.8 million ($0.5 million, net of tax) within General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income during the third quarter 2016. Additionally and pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties fully released one another for claims relating to the Central Merger, and therefore we have no further obligation to pay any additional Cash Consideration Amount to Central's former stockholders. See also Note 2. Central Merger and Restructuring, Merger and Integration Costs to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15. "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules" of this Form 10-K.

On November 30, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Bags. Our Business
We provide parking management, ground transportationconsolidated 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. Our consolidated operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and other ancillary services2016 do not include amounts related to commercial, institutionalthe Bags results of operations. See Note 2. Acquisition, which is included in Part IV, Item 15. "Exhibits and municipal clients in urban markets and airports across the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. Our services include a comprehensive set of on-site parking management and ground transportation services, which include facility maintenance, security services, training, scheduling and supervising all service personnel as well as providing customer service, marketing, and accounting and revenue control functions necessary to facilitate the operation of our clients' facilities or events. We also provide a range of ancillary services such as airport shuttle operations, valet services, taxi and livery dispatch services and municipal meter revenue collection and enforcement services. We typically enter into contractual relationships with property owners or managers as opposed to owning facilities.
We operate our clients' properties through two types of arrangements: management contracts and leases. Under a management contract, we typically receive a base monthly feeFinancial Statement Schedules" for managing the facility, and we may also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility performance objectives. We also receive fees for ancillary services. Typically, allfurther discussion of the underlying revenues and expenses under a standard management contract flow through to our clients rather than to us. However, some management contracts, which are referred to as "reverse" management contracts, usually provide for larger management fees and require us to pay various costs. Under lease arrangements, we generally pay to the property owner either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer collections or a combination thereof. We collect all revenues under lease arrangements and we are responsible for most operating expenses, but we are typically not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. Margins for lease contracts vary significantly, not only due to operating performance, but also due to variability of parking rates in different cities and varying space utilization by parking facility type and location. As of December 31, 2016, we operated 81% of our locations under management contracts and 19% under leases.Bags acquisition.
General Overview
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management'smanagement’s primary focus is on our gross profit and total general and administrative expense. Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we are required to account for them differs. Revenue from leaseslease type contracts includes all gross customer collections derived from our leased locationslease 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. Additionally, revenue from lease type contracts also includes a reduction of Services revenue - lease type contracts due to the adoption of ASU No. 2017-10, Service Concession Arrangements(Topic 853): Determining the Customer of the Operation Services, which requires rental expense for the periods after January 1, 2018 be presented as a reduction of Services revenue - lease type contracts for that business (and corresponding contracts) that meet the criteria and definition of a service concession arrangement. Accordingly, while a change in the proportion of our operating agreements that are structured as leaseslease type contracts versus management type contracts may cause significant fluctuations in reported revenue and expense of parking services that change will not artificially affect our gross profit. For example, as of December 31, 2016, 81%2018, 80% of our locations were operatedbusiness was operating under management type contracts and 78%80% of our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 20162018 was derived from management type contracts. Only 39%47% of total revenue (excluding reimbursed management type contract revenue), however, was from management type contracts because under those contracts the revenue collected from parking customers belongs to our clients. Therefore, gross profit and total general and administrative expense, rather than revenue, are management's primary focus.
InvestmentWe believe that sophisticated clients (which also include property owners) recognize the potential for parking services, parking management, ground transportation services, baggage handling 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 customer experience 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 88% and 92% for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This retention rate captures facilities in Joint VentureSegment One (Commercial and SaleInstitutional).
Summary of BusinessCommercial and Institutional Segment Facilities
In October 2014, we entered into an agreement to establish a joint venture with Parkmobile USAThe following table reflects our Commercial and contributed allInstitutional Segment facilities (by contractual type) operated at the end of the assets and liabilities of our proprietary Click and Park® parking prepayment business in exchange for a 30 percent interest in the newly formed legal entity called Parkmobile, LLC. Parkmobile is a leading provider of on-demand and prepaid transaction processing for on- and off-street parking and transportation services. The Parkmobile joint venture combines two parking transaction engines, with SP Plus contributing the Click and Park® parking prepayment systems, which enables consumers to reserve and pay for parking online in advance and Parkmobile USA contributing its on demand transaction engine that allows consumers to transact real-time payment for parking privileges in both on- and off-street environments. We account for our investment in the joint venture with Parkmobile under the equity method of accounting.years indicated:
In August 2015, we sold portions of our security business primarily operating in the Southern California market to a third-party for a gross sales price of $1.8 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of business of $0.5 million, net of legal and other expenses. The pre-tax profit for the operations of the sold business was not significant to the periods presented herein. |

Revenue
We recognize parking services revenue from lease and management type contracts as the related services are provided. Substantially all of our revenues comerevenue comes from the following two sources:
Parking servicesServices revenue—lease contract.type contracts Parking services revenues. Services revenue related to lease type contracts consistconsists of all revenue received at a leased facility,lease type locations, including parkinggross receipts (net of parking tax)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 of Services revenue - lease type contracts due to the adoption of Topic 853, which requires rental expense for the periods after January 1, 2018 be presented as a reduction of Services revenue - lease type contracts for that business (and corresponding contracts) that meet the criteria and definition of a service concession arrangement.
Parking servicesServices revenue—management contract.type contracts. Management type contract revenue consists of management fees, including both fixed, andvariable 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, developmentdevelopmental fees, gains on sales of contracts, insurance and other value-added services with respect to managed locations.type contracts. We believe we generally purchase required insurance at lower rates than our clients can obtain on their own because we effectively self-insuredself-insure for all liability worker'sand 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 the managed locationstype contracts as these revenues belong to the property ownersclient rather than to us. Management type contracts generally provide us with a management feesfee regardless of the operating performance of the underlying facilities.management type contract.
Conversions between type of contracts, lease or management, are typically determined by our clients and not us. Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we account for them differs substantially.
Reimbursed Management Type Contract Revenue
Reimbursed management type contract revenue consists of the direct reimbursement from the property ownerclient for operating expenses incurred under a management type contract, which isare reflected in our revenue.
Cost of Parking Services
Our cost of parking services consists of the following:
Cost of parking services—lease contract.type contracts. The cost of parking services under a lease type arrangement consists of contractual rentalrents or fees paid to the facility ownerclient and all operating expenses incurred in connection with operating the leased facility. Contractual rents or fees paid to the facility ownerclient are generally based on either a fixed contractual amount or 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. Cost of services from lease type contracts includes a reduction of Cost of services revenue - lease type contracts due to the adoption of Topic 853, which requires rental expense for the periods after January 1, 2018 be presented as a reduction of Services revenue - lease type contracts (and corresponding contracts) that meet the criteria and definition of a service concession arrangement.
Cost of parking services—management contract.type contracts. The cost of parking services under a management type contract is generally the responsibility of the facility owner.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.costs and these costs are included in results of operations.
Reimbursed Management Type Contract Expense
Reimbursed management type contract expense consists of direct reimbursed costs incurred on behalf of property ownersa client under a management type contract, which isare reflected in our cost of parking 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 contracts and management type contracts.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages, benefits, 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 remaining useful life.
Results
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"(“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources. Our CODM is our president and chief executive officer.
Effective January 1, 2016,In the fourth quarter 2018, we began certain organizational and executive leadership changes to align with howchanged our CODM reviews performance and makes decisions in managing the Company and as a result, changed internal operatingreporting segment information reported to our CODM as a result of the CODM.Bags acquisition.

General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $8.1 million, or 9.8%, to $91.0 million for year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $82.9 million for the year-ago period. The increase in General and administrative expenses primarily related to the Bags acquisition, an increase in acquisition, restructuring and integration costs, compensation and benefit costs, and expected pay-out under our performance based compensation and long-term incentive compensation programs, partially offset by a $1.7 million cost recovery from a vendor partner and overall better expense control.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased $0.4 million, or 4.3%, to $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $9.2 million for the year-ago period. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in borrowings as a result of the acquisition of Bags on November 30, 2018 and an increase in average borrowing rates, partially offset by lower average borrowings under our credit facility prior to the acquisition of Bags.
Interest income
Interest income was $0.4 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Gain on sale of a business
During 2017, we recognized a $0.1 million gain on the sale of a portion of our security business primarily operating in the Southern California market. We received $0.6 million for the final earn-out consideration from the buyer during the second quarter of 2017, for which we recognized an additional gain on sale of business of $0.1 million, as our historical estimate for the fair value of the earn-out consideration receivable was $0.5 million.
Equity in (earnings) losses from investment in unconsolidated entity
Equity in earnings from investment in unconsolidated entity relates to our investment in the joint venture with Parkmobile, which was accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and our share of equity earnings in the Parkmobile joint venture. Equity in earnings from investment in unconsolidated entity was $10.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to a loss of $0.7 million in the year-ago period. The increase in earnings from investment in unconsolidated entity for the year ended December 31, 2018 is primarily related to our $10.1 million net gain on the sale of our entire 30% equity interest in Parkmobile.
Income tax expense
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized income tax expense of $19.6 million on earnings before income taxes of $76.0 million compared to a $27.7 million income tax expense on earnings before income taxes of $72.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Our effective tax rate was 25.8% for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to 38.4% for the year ended December 31, 2017. The $8.1 million decrease in income tax expense was primarily due to the reduction in the statutory federal income tax rate to 21% per the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "2017 Tax Act") and the finalization of the tax accounting for the effects of the 2017 Tax Act, offset by adjustments to the state tax provision for a state tax examination.
On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Act was signed into law. The 2017 Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while also implementing a territorial tax system and imposing repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires that the impact of tax legislation be recognized in the period in which the law was enacted. As a result of the 2017 Tax Act, we recorded $0.2 million of income tax expense in the fourth quarter of 2017. The provisional amount related to the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future was $1.6 million income tax benefit, which includes a $1.2 million income tax expense related to an increase in the valuation allowance. The provisional amount related to the one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings was $1.8 million income tax expense based on the cumulative foreign earnings of $14.1 million and our current best estimates. Additionally, we recognized a tax charge of $0.6 million as an additional provision for withholding taxes on undistributed earnings not considered to be permanently reinvested.
We recorded a current tax benefit of $1.5 million for the finalization of our accounting for the transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. The current year benefit is the result of finalizing our analysis of foreign earnings and profits and eligible foreign tax credits to be claimed to offset the tax liability. We finalized our accounting for the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in the fourth quarter 2018.

Services revenue—lease type contracts
Lease type contract revenue increased $18.1 million, or 3.3%, to $563.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $545.0 million for the year-ago period. The increase resulted primarily from increases in revenue from new/acquired business, existing business and business that converted from management type contracts during the year, partially offset by decreases in revenue from expired business. Revenue from expired business includes earnings of $8.5 million for our proportionate share of the net gain on an equity method investee's sale of assets. Existing business revenue increased $9.9 million, or 2.1%, primarily due to an increase in monthly parking revenue, short term revenue, rental revenue and transient revenue.
From a reporting segment perspective, lease type contract revenue increased primarily due to increases in revenue from new/acquired business in Segments One and Two, existing business in Segments One and Two and conversions in Segment One. This was partially offset by decreases in revenue from expired business in Segments One and Two.
Services revenue—management type contracts
Management type contract revenue increased $1.4 million, or 0.4%, to $348.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $346.8 million for the year-ago period. The increase resulted primarily from increases in revenue from new/acquired business and existing business, partially offset by decreases in revenue from expired business. Existing business revenue increased $10.1 million, or 3.7%, primarily due to a change in contract terms for certain management type contracts, whereby the contract terms converted from a management type contract to a "reverse" management type contract, which typically has higher management fees from the facility owner but requires us to pay certain operating costs associated with the facilities operation and net increases in management fees, partially offset by a decrease in other ancillary services.
From a reporting segment perspective, management type contract revenue increased primarily due to increases in revenue from new/acquired business in Segments One and Two and existing business in Segment Two. This was partially offset by decreases in revenue from expired business in Segments One and Two and existing business in Segment One and Other and conversions in Segment One. The Other segment amounts in existing business represent costs not specifically identifiable to Segments One or Two.
Reimbursed management type contract revenue
Reimbursed management type contract revenue increased $2.6 million, or 0.4%, to $679.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $676.6 million in the year-ago period. This increase slight resulted primarily from an increase in reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of owners.

The $11.0 million increase in income tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in valuation allowance reversals recognized for historical net operating losses for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the year ended December 31, 2016, and an increase in the pre-tax income of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016, compared to the year ended December 31, 2015.

Parking services revenue—lease contracts
Lease contract revenue increased $74.3 million, or 15.0%, to $570.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $496.6 million for the year-ago period. The increase resulted primarily from increases in revenue from new locations, locations that converted from management contracts during the year and same location revenue, partially offset by decreases in revenue from contract expirations. The increase in same location revenue of $11.0 million, or 2.6%, was primarily due to increases in short-term parking revenue and monthly parking revenue.
From a reporting segment perspective, lease contract revenue increased primarily due to new locations in all three operating regions, same locations in regions one and two and conversions in regions one and three. This was partially offset by decreases in revenue from contract expirations in regions one and two and same locations in region three and other. Same location revenue increases for the aforementioned regions were primarily due to increases in short-term parking revenue and monthly parking revenue. The other region amounts in same location represent revenues not specifically identifiable to a region.
Revenue associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.
Parking services revenue—management contracts
Management contract revenue increased $12.0 million, or 3.6%, to $350.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $338.3 million for the year-ago period. The increase resulted primarily from increases in revenue from new locations and same locations, partially offset by decreases in revenue from contract expirations and locations that converted from lease contracts during the year. Same location revenue increased by $13.9 million, or 5.3%, primarily due to an increase in fees from ancillary services.
From a reporting segment perspective, management contract revenue increased primarily from increases in revenue from new locations in all three operating regions, contract expirations in region three and same locations in all three operating regions and other. This was partially offset by decreases in revenue from contract expirations in regions one and two and conversions in region one. The other region amounts in same location represent values not specifically identifiable to a region.
Revenue associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.
Reimbursed management contract revenue
Reimbursed management contract revenue increased $14.9 million , or 2.2%, to $694.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $679.8 million in the year-ago period. This increase resulted primarily from an increase in reimbursements for costs incurred on behalf of owners.

Cost of parking services—lease contracts
Cost of parking services for lease contracts increased $77.1 million, or 16.9%, to $532.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $455.7 million for the year-ago period. The increase resulted primarily from increases in costs from new locations, same locations and locations that converted from management contracts during the year, which was partially offset by a decrease in costs from contract expirations. Same location costs increased $15.4 million, or 3.9%, primarily due to higher rent expense as a result of higher revenues for same locations, an increase in health and benefit costs and higher structural repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger.
From a reporting segment perspective, cost of parking services for lease contracts increased primarily due to new locations in all three operating regions, same locations in regions one and two and other, and conversions in regions one and three, partially offset by decreases in contract expirations in regions one and two and same locations in region three. The other region amounts represent structural repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger and other costs not specifically identifiable to a region.
Cost of parking services associated with contract expirations relates to contacts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.
Cost of parking services—management contracts
Cost of parking services for management contracts increased $10.4 million, or 5.0%, to $218.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $207.9 million for the year-ago period. The increase resulted primarily from increases in costs from new locations, same locations and locations that converted from lease contracts during the year, partially offset by a decrease in cost from contract expirations. Same locations costs increased $8.6 million, or 5.6%, primarily due to increased revenues from ancillary services, partially offset primarily by decreased costs relating to certain unallocated insurance reserve adjustments.
From a reporting segment perspective, cost of parking services for management contracts increased due to new locations in all three operating regions, contract expirations in region three, same locations in all three operating regions and conversions in region one, partially offset by decreases in contract expirations in regions one and two and same locations in other. The other region amounts represent prior year insurance reserve adjustments and other costs that are not specifically identifiable to a region.

Gross profit—lease contracts
Gross profit for lease contracts decreased $2.8 million, or 6.9%, to $38.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $40.9 million for year-ago period. Gross profit percentage for lease contracts was 6.7% for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 8.2% for the year ago-period. Gross profit lease contracts decreases were the result of contract expirations and same locations, partially offset by increases from new locations and locations that converted from management contracts during the year. Gross profit for lease contracts on same locations decreased primarily due to an increase in operating costs, driven primarily by an increase in health and benefit costs and an increase in structural repair costs related to certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger, partially offset by an increase in revenue.
From a reporting segment perspective, gross profit for lease contracts decreased primarily due contract expirations in region one, same locations in regions one, two and other, partially offset by increases in new locations in regions one and two and conversions in regions one and three.
Gross profit associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.
Gross profit—management contracts
Gross profit for management contracts increased $1.6 million or 1.2%, to $132.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $130.4 million for the year-ago period. Gross profit percentage for management contracts decreased to 37.7% for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to 38.5% for the year-ago period. Gross profit for management contracts increases were primarily the result of new locations and same locations, partially offset by decreases in contract expirations and locations that converted from lease contracts during the year. Gross profit management contracts increased on same locations primarily as the result of increased revenues, partially offset by increased costs primarily related to ancillary services.
From a reporting segment perspective, gross profit for management contracts increased primarily due to new locations in all three operating regions, same locations in region one and other, partially offset by decreases in contract expirations in all three operating regions and same locations in regions two and three.
Gross profit associated with contract expirations relates to contracts that have expired, however, we were operating the facility in the comparative period presented.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased $4.2 million, or 4.1%, to $97.3 million for year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $101.5 million for the year-ago period. The decrease in General and administrative expenses primarily related to a decrease in compensation and benefit costs, merger and integration costs, including severance and benefit expenses, and overall better expense control, partially offset by increases in expected pay-out under our performance based compensation and long-term incentive compensation programs and a $1.6 million charge related to our dispute with Central's former stockholders over Net Debt Working Capital indemnity claims.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $5.1 million, or 28.7%, to $12.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $17.8 million in the year-ago period. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in average borrowing rates and reductions in borrowings under our Restated Credit Facility and Senior Credit Facility.
Interest income

Interest Rate Swaps
In October 2012, we entered into Interest Rate Swap transactions (collectively, the "Interest Rate Swaps") with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate Notional Amount of $150.0 million (the "Notional Amount"). The Interest Rate Swaps have a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under our credit agreements, originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under our credit agreements determined based upon our consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under our credit agreements. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and we calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase of interest expense. As of December 31, 2016, no ineffective portion of the cash flow has been recognized in earnings within interest expense. The fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps at December 31, 2016 and 2015 was a $0.1 million and $0.2 million asset, respectively, and included in the line item "Other assets, net" within the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.
Stock Repurchases

The share repurchase program does not obligate us to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and has no fixed termination date. Under this program, we repurchased 305,183 shares of common stock through December 31, 20162018 at an average price of $24.43 per share, resulting in $7.5 million in year-to-date and program-to-date repurchases. No repurchases were made during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Letters of Credit
We had provided letters of credit totaling $52.6$24.9 million and $45.3$33.4 million to our casualty insurance carriers to collateralize our casualty insurance program as of December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, respectively.

Deficiency Payments
Pursuant to our obligations with respect to the parking garage operations at Bradley International Airport, we are required to make certain deficiency payments for the benefit of the State of Connecticut and for holders of special facility revenue bonds. The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing advances to the trustee to cover operating cash flow requirements. As of December 31, 2016,2018, we had made $9.9$3.9 million of cumulative deficiency payments to the trustee, net of reimbursements. Deficiency payments made are recorded as increases to cost of parking services and deficiency repayments are recorded as reductions to cost of parking services. We believe these advances to be fully recoverable and will recognize the principal, interest and premium payments related to these deficiency payments when they are received. We do not directly guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee.

Daily Cash Collections
As a result of day-to-day activity at our parking locations,operations, 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, 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.Senior Credit Facility.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We had cash and cash equivalents of $22.2$39.9 million at December 31, 2016,2018, compared to $18.7$22.8 million at December 31, 2015.2017.

We made contingent payments for business acquired (earn-outs) of $nil, $0.1 million and $1.8 million for each of the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, we received deficiency repayments (net of deficiency payments made) related to the Bradley Agreement of $1.7$3.9 million, $1.8$2.0 million and $1.3$1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 20162018 and 20152017 and 2014,2016, respectively.
The above schedule does not include any amounts for expected deficiency payments in the "less than one year" category or any other "payments due by period" category, as we concluded that the potential for future deficiency payments did not meet the criteria of both probable and estimable.
Payments related to the provisional one-time transition tax liability recorded in connection with the enactment of the 2017 Tax Act are also excluded. The provisional transition tax liability was $0.5 million at December 31, 2018 and is payable over a period of up to eight years. See Note 16. Income Taxes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15. "Exhibits and Financial Statements Schedules" for further discussion.
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 statementsConsolidated 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 statementsConsolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15. "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules."
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
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 do not amortize goodwill but rather evaluate it 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 the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter, or at an interim date if there is an event or change in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. 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 our business strategy, a change in reportable segments and significant negative industry or economic trends.
A multi-step impairment test is performed on goodwill. For our fourth quarter 20162018 and 2017 goodwill impairment test,tests, we utilized the option to evaluate various qualitative factors to determine the likelihood of impairment and if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units were less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. We concluded there was no impairment of goodwill at any of the reporting units.
If we do not elect to perform a qualitative assessment, we can voluntarily proceed directly to Step 1. We performed a Step 1 goodwill test as of January 1, 2016 due to a change in reporting units. In Step 1, we perform a quantitative analysis to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired, and we are not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we must perform Step 2 of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then we would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.
The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level; our reporting units represent our operating segments, which are comprised of our fourtwo operating segments. Management determines the fair value of each of its reporting units by using a discounted cash flow approach and a market approach using multiples of EBITDA of comparable companies to estimate market value. In addition, we compare our derived enterprise value on a consolidated basis to our market capitalization as of its test date to ensure its derived value approximates our market value when taken as a whole.
In conducting our goodwill impairment quantitative assessments, we analyzedanalyze actual and projected growth trends of the reporting units, gross margin, operating expenses and EBITDA (which also includes forecasted five-year income statement and working capital projections, a market-based weighted average cost of capital and terminal values after five years). We also assess critical areas that may impact our business including economic conditions, market related exposures, competition, changes in product offerings and changes in key personnel. As part of the 2016 and 2015 goodwill assessments, we engaged a third party to evaluate our reporting units' fair values.
We continue to perform a goodwill impairment test as required on an annual basis and on an interim basis, if certain conditions exist. Factors we consider important, which could result in changes to our estimates, include underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results and declines in acquisitions and trading multiples. Due to the diverse customer base, we do not believe our future operating results will vary significantly relative to its historical and projected future operating results. However, future events may indicate differences from our judgments and estimates that could, in turn, result in impairment charges in the future. Future events that may result in impairment charges include increases in interest rates, which would impact discount rates, unfavorable economic conditions or other factors that could decrease revenues and profitability of existing locations and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities. Factors that could potentially have an unfavorable economic effect on our judgments and estimates include, among others: changes imposed by governmental and regulatory agencies, such as property condemnations and assessment of parking-related taxes; construction or other events that could change traffic patterns; and terrorism or other catastrophic events.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment when circumstances change that would create a triggering event. Intangible assets with finite lives 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 the remaining useful life. Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of our intangible and other long-
livedlong-lived 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 our reported financial results.
Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate long-lived asset groups whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that would result in an impairment review primarily include a significant change in the use of an asset, or the planned sale or disposal of an asset. 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. Our estimates of future cash flows from such assets could be impacted if it underperforms relative to historical or projected future operating results.
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 (including, without limitation, generalbut not limited to, general/garage liability, automobile liability, garage-keepers legal liability, worker's compensation and umbrella/excess liability insurance) covering certain claims that arise in connection with our operations. 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 of each loss covered by our general/garage liability, automobile liability, policies, and workers' compensation and garage keepers legal liability policies. As a result, we are effectively self-insured for all claims up to the deductible / retention amount for each loss. It is our policy to record our self-insurance liabilities based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. We utilize historical claims experience and actuarial methods which consider a number of factors to estimate our ultimate cost of losses incurred in determining the required level of insurance reserves and timing of expense recognition associated with claims against us. This determination requires the use of judgment in both the estimation of probability when determining the required insurance reserves and amount to be recognized as an expense. 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 for doubtful account 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 financial reporting amounts and the tax bases 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 2036. We consider a number of factors in ourits assessment of the recoverability of our stateits 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 ourits assessment of their recoverability.
When evaluating our tax positions, we account for uncertainty in income taxes in our consolidated financial statements. TheConsolidated Financial Statements. Our evaluation of a tax position is a two-step process, the first step being recognition. WeThe 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.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.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 includes 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. The 2017 Tax Act requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required in U.S. tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Act and significant estimates in calculations, and the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced. The U.S. Department of Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), foreign jurisdictions, state jurisdictions and other standard-setting bodies could interpret or issue guidance on how provisions of the 2017 Tax Act will be applied or otherwise administered that is different than our interpretation. We are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, which include determining the transition tax, remeasuring our deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities.
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. We completed our analysis of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act in the fourth quarter of 2018 (within the measurement period not to extend beyond one year) in accordance with SAB 118.
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 significant uncertainty. 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.
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 RestatedSenior Credit Facility, discussed previously, to finance our operations. This RestatedSenior 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.
In October 2012,On November 30, 2018, we entered into interest rate swap transactions (collectively, the "Interest Rate Swaps") with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, Bank of America and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million (the "Notional Amount"). The Interest Rate Swaps have an effective date of October 31, 2012 and a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under our credit agreements, originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under our credit agreements determined based upon SP Plus's consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under our credit agreements. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and we calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase of interest expense. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, no ineffective portion of the cash flow was recognized as interest expense. See Note 10. Fair Value Measurement for the fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.
In February 2015, we entered into a Restated Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Restated Credit Agreement, as described in Note 11,13. Borrowing Arrangements within our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part IV, Item 15, "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules", the Lenders have made available to us a RestatedSenior Credit Facility that permits aggregate borrowings of $400.0$550.0 million consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $200.0$325.0 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 $200.0$225.0 million, subject to securing additional commitments from the Lenders or new lending institutions. Interest expense on such borrowings is sensitive to changes in the market rate of interest. If we were to borrow the entire non-hedged variable rate debt of $114.9$134.5 million available under the revolving credit facility, a 1 percent (%) increase in the average market rate would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of $1.2$1.3 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.
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 $1.2$4.2 million of Canadian dollar denominated cash instruments at December 31, 2016,2018, and no debt instruments denominated in Canadian dollar at December 31, 2016.2018. 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.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and related notes and schedules required by this Itemitem are incorporated into this Form 10-K and set forth in Part IV, Item 15. "Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules" herein.

Item 9A. 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, 20162018 and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (the "Evaluation") at a reasonable assurance level 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (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, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based upon the Evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2016.2018.
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, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller, 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, 2016,2018, 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 (2013 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, 2016.2018. Management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 excludes internal control over financial reporting related to ZWB Holdings, Inc. and Rynn's Luggage Corporation, their subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Bags") (acquired on November 30, 2018).
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

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company'scompany’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'scompany’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'scompany’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.
In our opinion, SP Plus Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of SP Plus Corporation as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, and our report dated February 23, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

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") providesis one of the leading providers of parking management, ground transportation services, baggage handling and other ancillary services to commercial, hospitality, institutional, municipal and municipalaviation clients in urban markets and airports across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico and Canada.Rico. These services include a comprehensive set of on-site parking management, andvalet parking, ground transportation services, which include facility maintenance, training, schedulingevent logistics, baggage services, remote airline check-in, security services, municipal meter revenue collection and supervising allenforcement services, and consulting services. The Company schedules and supervises service personnel as well as providingprovides customer service, marketing, and accounting and revenue control functions necessary to facilitateprovide such services.
Bags Acquisition
On November 30, 2018, the operationCompany acquired the outstanding shares of clients' facilities. The Company also provides a rangeZWB Holdings, Inc. and Rynn’s Luggage Corporation, their subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively "Bags"), for an all-cash purchase price of ancillary services such as airport shuttle$277.9 million, net of $5.9 million of cash acquired. Accordingly, our consolidated statements of income and statements of cash flows includes Bags' operations valet services, taxi and livery dispatch services, security services and municipal meter revenue collection and enforcement services.for one month of 2018, but exclude Bags' results of operations in the comparative years prior to November 30, 2018. See Note 2. Acquisition, for further information on the acquisition of Bags.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statementsConsolidated 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 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 foreign operations is the local currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated from foreign currencies 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 foreign currency 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 was $0.3$1.7 million and $0.9$0.3 million as of December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, respectively, and are included within Cash and cash equivalents within the Consolidated Balance Sheet.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, using historical collection trends, aging of receivables, and a review of specific accounts, and makes 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. As of December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.4$1.0 million and $0.9$0.7 million, respectively.
Leasehold Improvements, Equipment, Land 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 21 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 8.44.5 years).
Certain costs associated with directly obtaining, developing or upgrading internal-use software are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of software.
Cost of Contracts
Cost of contracts represents the cost of obtaining contractual rights associated with providing parking services at a managed type or leased facility.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 liveslife of the contract.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
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 does not amortize goodwill but rather evaluates it 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 the first day of its fiscal fourth quarter, or at an interim date if there is an event or change in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. 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.
A multi-step impairment test is performed on goodwill. For the fourth quarter 20162018 and 2017 goodwill impairment test,tests, the Company utilized the option to evaluate various qualitative factors to determine the likelihood of impairment and if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units were less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company concluded there was no impairment of goodwill at any of the reporting units.
If the Company does not elect to perform a qualitative assessment, it can voluntarily proceed directly to Step 1. The Company performed a Step 1 goodwill test as of January 1, 2016 due to a change in reporting units. In Step 1, the Company performs a quantitative analysis to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired, and the Company's is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then the Company must perform Step 2 of the impairment test in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, then the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference.
The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level; the Company's reporting units represent its operating segments, consisting of the UrbanSegment One (Commercial and Institutional) and Segment Two (Aviation) reporting unit, Airport transportation services reporting unit, USA Parking reporting unit and event planning and transportation services reporting unit.units. The December 31, 20162018 goodwill balances by reportable segment are presented in detail in Note 9. Note. 9 Goodwill. Goodwill.Management determines the fair value of each of its reporting units by using a discounted cash flow approach and a market approach using multiples of EBITDA of comparable companies to estimate market value. In addition, the Company compares its derived enterprise value on a consolidated basis to the Company's market capitalization as of its test date to ensure its derived value approximates the market value of the Company when taken as a whole.
In conducting its goodwill impairment quantitative assessment, the Company analyzedanalyzes actual and projected growth trends of the reporting unit, gross margin, operating expenses and EBITDA (which also includes forecasted five-year income statement and working capital projections, a market-based weighted average cost of capital and terminal values after five years). The Company also assesses critical areas that may impact its business including economic conditions, market related exposures, competition, changes in product offerings and changes in key personnel for each of its reporting unit's. As part of the 2016 and 2015 annual goodwill assessments, the Company engaged a third party to evaluate its reporting unit's fair values.units.
The Company will continue to perform a goodwill impairment test as required on an annual basis and on an interim basis, if certain conditions exist. Factors the Company considers important, which could result in changes to its estimates, include under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results and declines in acquisitions and trading multiples. Due to the broad customer base, the Company does not believe its future operating results will vary significantly relative to its historical and projected future operating results. However, future events may indicate differences from its judgments and estimates which could, in turn, result in impairment charges in the future. Future events that may result in impairment charges include increases in interest rates, which would impact discount rates, and unfavorable economic conditions or other factors which could decrease revenues and profitability of existing locations and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities. Factors that could potentially have an unfavorable economic effect on management's judgments and estimates include, among others: changes imposed by governmental and regulatory agencies, such as property condemnations and assessment of parking-related taxes; and construction or other events that could change traffic patterns; and terrorism or other catastrophic events.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment when circumstances change that would create a triggering event. 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 the other intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life. Assumptions and estimates about future values and remaining useful lives of its intangible and other long-lived 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 its business strategy and internal forecasts. Although management believes the historical assumptions and estimates are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact its reported financial results.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived asset groups whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Events or circumstances that would result in an impairment review primarily include a significant change in the use of an asset, or the planned sale or disposal of an asset. 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. The Company's estimates of future cash flows from such assets could be impacted if it underperforms relative to historical or projected future operating results.
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.
Debt Issuance Costs
The costs of obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the term of the respective financing using the effective interest method. Pursuant to ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), adopted by the Company on December 31, 2015, debtDebt issuance costs of $1.6$2.2 million and $2.4$1.0 million atas of December 31, 2016,2018, and 2015,2017, respectively, arehave been recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Company's debt balance within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected net of accumulated amortization of $9.0$10.4 million and $8.2$9.7 million respectively. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs and included in interest expense within the Consolidated Statements of Income was $0.8$0.7 million, $0.9$0.7 million and $1.3$0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Financial Instruments
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 $36.5$34.0 million and $25.8$29.0 million are included within Accounts payable within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016,2018, and 2015,2017, respectively. Long-term debt has a carrying value that approximates fair value because these 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, or automobile, liability policies and its workers' compensation and garage keepers legal liability policies. As a result, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for all claims up towithin the deductible / retention amount of each loss. 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 along with regular input from third party insurance advisers in determining the required level of insurance reserves. 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 of pending legal claims.
Certain lease contracts acquired from an acquisition completed in the Central Merger include2012 included provisions allocating to the Company responsibility for the cost of certain structural and other repairs required to be made to thecertain leased property, including improvement and repair costs arising as a result of ordinary wear and tear. The Company recorded $0.7 million, $4.6$nil, $0.1 million and $1.3$0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, 20152018, 2017 and 20142016 respectively, of costs (net of expected recoveries of the total cost recognized by the Company through the applicable indemnity discussed further in Note 2. Central Merger and Restructuring, Merger and Integration Costs)indemnity) in Cost of parking services-Leaseservices-lease type contracts within the Consolidated Statements of Income for structural and other repair costs related to certain lease type contracts acquired, in the Central Merger, whereby, the Company has expensed repair costs for certain leases and engaged third-party general contractors to complete certain structural and other repair projects, and other indemnity related costs. The Company currently expects to incur additional costs for certain structural and other repair costs pursuant to the contractual requirements of certain lease contracts acquired in the Central Merger ("Structural and Repair Costs"). Based on information available at this time, the Company currently expects to incur additional Structural and Repair Costs of $0.2 million. While the Company is unable to estimate with certainty when such remaining costs will be incurred, it is expected that a substantial majority of these costs will be incurred in early 2017. Additionally and as further described in Note 2. Central Merger and Restructuring, Merger and Integration, the Company settled all outstanding matters between the former Central stockholders and the Company and is therefore unable to recover any additional Structural and Repair Costs yet to be incurred by the Company through the indemnity.
Interest Rate Swaps
In October 2012, the Company entered into Interest Rate Swap transactions (collectively, the "Interest Rate Swaps") with each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. in an initial aggregate Notional Amount of $150.0 million (the "Notional Amount"). The Interest Rate Swaps have a termination date of September 30, 2017. The Interest Rate Swaps effectively fix the interest rate on an amount of variable interest rate borrowings under the Company's credit agreements, originally equal to the Notional Amount at 0.7525% per annum plus the applicable margin rate for LIBOR loans under the Company's credit agreements determined based upon the Company's consolidated total debt to EBITDA ratio. The Notional Amount is subject to scheduled quarterly amortization that coincides with quarterly prepayments of principal under the credit agreements. These Interest Rate Swaps are classified as cash flow hedges, and the Company calculates the effectiveness of the hedge on a monthly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in earnings as an increase to interest expense. As of December 31, 2016, no ineffective portion of cash flow hedges has been recognized in interest expense. See Note 10. Fair Value Measurement for the fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.
Parking Services Revenue
The Company's revenues are primarily derived from leased locations, managed propertiesmanagement type and lease type contracts; whereby the providing ofCompany 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 as accounting,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 recognized when persuasive evidence oftransferred to customers at an arrangement exists,amount that reflects the fees are fixedconsideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured and as services are provided.services. The Company recognizes gross receipts (net of taxes collected from customers) as revenue from leased locations,type contracts, and management fees for parking 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.
Cost of Parking Services

The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock-based awards as they occur.
Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company has ownership interests in 2930 active partnerships, joint ventures or similar arrangements that operate parking facilities, of which 2125 are consolidated under the VIE or voting interest models and 85 are unconsolidated where the Company’s ownership interests range from 30-5030-50 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 Condensed 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 Parking servicesServices revenue—Leaselease type contracts within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Included in equity earnings for the year ended December 31, 2017 are earnings of $8.5 million from the Company's proportionate share of the net gain of an equity method investees' sale of assets.

Sale of a Business
During the third quarter 2015, the Company signed an agreement to sell and subsequently sold portions of the Company’s security business primarily operating in the Southern California market to a third-party for a gross sales price of $1.8 million, which resulted in a gain on sale of business of $0.5 million, net of legal and other expenses. The pre-tax gain is reflected in Gain on sale of a business within the Consolidated Statements of Income. The assets under the sale agreement met the definition of a business as defined by ASU 805-10-55-4. Cash consideration received during the third quarter 2015, net of legal and other expenses, was $1.0 million with the remaining consideration for the sale of the business being classified as contingent consideration, which perconsideration. Per the sale agreement, isthe contingent consideration was based on the performance of the business and retention of current customers over an eighteen-month period and due from the buyerending in February 2017. The buyer has sixty days from February 2017 to calculate and remit the remaining consideration. The contingent consideration was valued at fair value as of the date of sale of the business and resulted in the Company recognizing a contingent consideration receivable from the buyer in the amount of $0.5 million. The buyer had sixty days from February 2017 to calculate and remit the remaining consideration. The Company received $0.6 million for the final earn-out consideration from the buyer during 2017, which resulted in the Company recognizing an additional gain on sale of business of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The pre-tax profit for the operations of the sold business was not significant to prior periods presented. See Note 10. Fair Value Measurement forThe significant inputs historically used to derive the Level 3 fair value of the contingent receivable were the probability of reaching certain revenue growth of the business and retention of current customers over the eighteen month period. The fair value of the contingent consideration receivable as offor the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.was $0.5 million.
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 financial reporting amounts and the tax bases 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 settle.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 its assessment of their recoverability.
When evaluating our tax positions, the Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes in its consolidated financial statements.our Consolidated Financial Statements. The evaluation of a tax position by the Company is a two-step process, the first step being recognition. The Company determinesfirst 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.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.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.
Recent
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 includes 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. The 2017 Tax Act requires complex computations to be performed that were not previously required in U.S. tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the 2017 Tax Act and significant estimates in calculations, and the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced. The U.S. Department of Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), foreign jurisdictions, state jurisdictions and other standard-setting bodies could interpret or issue guidance on how provisions of the 2017 Tax Act will be applied or otherwise administered that is different than our interpretation. The Company is required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, which include determining the transition tax, remeasuring our deferred tax assets and liabilities as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities.
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 (within the measurement period not to extend beyond one year) in accordance with SAB 118.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2015,May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-17,2014-09 Income Taxes"Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 740)606) and following its release, the FASB also issued the following additional ASUs updating the topic:
In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Balance Sheet ClassificationNarrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Deferred Taxesthe Effective Date
Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, . ASU 2015-17Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and requires entities to present deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This ASU simplifies current guidance which requires entities to separately classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as current or noncurrent on the balance sheet. The new guidance will be effective for public business entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. The guidance may be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively (i.e., by reclassifying the comparative balance sheet). If applied prospectively, entities are required to include a statement that prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. If applied retrospectively, entities are also required to include quantitative information about the effectsrecognize revenue when control of the change on prior periods.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 adopted the provisions of Topic 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method and therefore the comparative periods have not been recasted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those prior periods presented.
The standard has been applied to contracts that have not been completed at the date of initial application. Furthermore and in accordance with Topic 606, the Company has not retrospectively restated the contracts that were modified before the beginning of the earliest reporting period presented. The aggregate effect of all modifications when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations were reflected in determining and allocating the transaction price. The application of these practical expedients did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and related financial statement disclosures.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 retrospectivelyNo. 2017-10, Service Concession Arrangements (Topic 853): Determining the Customer of the Operation Services. Topic 853 further clarifies how operating entities should determine the customer of operation services for transactions within the scope of Topic 853. The Company determined that revenue generated from service concession arrangements, will be accounted for under the guidance of Topic 606 upon adoption of Topic 853. The Company adopted the provisions of Topic 853 on January 1, 2018 and upon the adoption, the Company was required to reclassify certain assets used in service concession arrangements that were previously included in Leasehold improvements, equipment and construction in progress, net, to Other assets, net within the fourth quarterConsolidated Balance Sheet for December 31, 2018 (as discussed previously, the prior period presented has not been recasted).
In addition, the Company has the contractual right to invoice a customer prior to the performance obligation being satisfied in certain contractual arrangements, primarily related to monthly parking arrangements, and therefore effective January 1, 2018; the Company established a contract asset with a corresponding contract liability for the performance obligation expected to be satisfied at a future date.
The impact of deferred taxes previously classified as a component of current assets inthis change on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 20152018 is as follows:

The ASU also requires an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16guidance is effective prospectively for interim andall companies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015.2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard as of March 2016 on a prospective basis, as required.January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-2 amends certain aspects of the consolidation guidance under U.S. GAAP. It modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities and also eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. The guidance also affects the consolidation analysis as it relates to interests in VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and retrospective adoption is required either through a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the year of adoption or retrospectively for all comparative periods. The Company adopted the standard as of March 2016. The Company evaluated the latest consolidation analysis under ASU 2015-02, which was performed as of December 2015. The Company also evaluated updates to entity arrangements after December 2015. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company'sCompany’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.
In January 2015,2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. ASU 2015-1 eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted the standard as of March 2016. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. A performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. As a result, the target is not reflected in the estimation of the award’s grant date fair value. Compensation cost would be recognized over the required service period, if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted the standard as of March 2016. The Company reviewed current stock compensation award programs and noted the adoption of ASU 2014-12 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and financial statement disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of being presented as an asset. ASU 2015-03 requires retrospective application and represents a change in accounting principle. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption being permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 as of December 2015 on a retrospective basis and reclassified debt issuance costs from Other assets to a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the (i) Current portion of obligations under the Restated Senior Credit Facility borrowings and (ii) Long-term obligations under the Restated Credit Facility borrowings within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 11. Borrowing Arrangements for further detail on the Company's debt instruments.
Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350). ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill (i.e., Step 2 under current goodwill impairment test rules) to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value (i.e., measure the charge based on the Step 1 analysis under current guidance). The standard will be applied prospectively and is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019 for public business entities (PBEs) that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer (i.e., for any impairment test performed by calendar-year entities in 2020), December 15, 2020 for PBEs that are not SEC filers (i.e., for any impairment test performed by calendar-year entities in 2021), and December 15, 2021
for all other entities (i.e., for any impairment test performed by calendar-year entities in 2022). Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after 1 January 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805). Under ASU No. 2017-01, an entity first determines whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the set is not a business. If it’s not met, the entity then evaluates whether the set meets the requirement that a business include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. Under current guidance, a business consists of (1) inputs, (2) processes applied to those inputs and (3) the ability to create outputs. ASU No. 2017-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, it is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The ASUstandard will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. The Company is currently assessingadopted the impactstandard as of adopting thisJanuary 1, 2018. The standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.
In November 2016,February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18,2018-02, StatementReclassification of Cash Flows - Restricted Cash (Topic 230)Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The ASU 2016-18 clarifies how entities should present restricted cashprovides guidance that permits companies to reclassify disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) caused by the Tax Cuts and restricted cash equivalentsJobs Act of 2017 (the "2017 Tax Act") to retained earnings. The FASB refers to these amounts as "stranded tax effects." Companies that elect to reclassify the effects associated with the change in US federal corporate income tax rate must do so for all items within the statementAOCI. The new guidance also requires all companies to include certain new disclosures in their financial statements, regardless of cash flows. Thewhether a company opts to make the reclassification. Companies may adopt the new guidance requires entitiesusing one of two transition methods: (1) retrospective to showeach period (or periods) in which the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The guidance, which is based on a consensusincome tax effects of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF),2017 Tax Act related to items remaining in AOCI are recognized, or (2) at the beginning of the period of adoption. ASU No. 2018-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, it is effectivecompanies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal yearsyears. Public business entities may early adopt the guidance for financial statements that have not yet been issued.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2018-02 in the fourth quarter of 2018. The impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flow and financial statement disclosures are as follows:
At the beginning of the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, as allowed by ASU 2018-02, the Company elected to reclassify the "stranded tax effects" from AOCI to retained earnings. As a result, beginning retained earnings includes a $0.6 million adjustment related to the recognition of stranded tax effects previously not recognized as a reduction of expense by the Company as of December 31, 2017.
There was no significant impact to diluted weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating net income per common share-diluted for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, as a result of the adoption.
Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to record most leases on the balance sheet and recognize expense, similar to current accounting guidance, on the income statement. Additionally, the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases is modified for lessors. Under ASU No. 2016-02, all entities are required to recognize "right-of-use" ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases classified as either operating or finance leases. Lease classification will determine recognition of lease-related revenue and expense. Since the release of ASU No. 2016-02, the FASB also issued the following additional ASUs updating the topic:
In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Lease (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements
In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases
In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow Scope Improvements for Lessors
ASU No. 2016-02 and its related ASUs are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.
The Company is finalizing the project plan in place to guide the implementation and assessment of the impact of the standard and other changes to the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures. This plan has included an assessment of the Company’s portfolio of leases, understanding key policy elections and considerations under the standard as well as changes to key processes and internal controls. In addition to these procedures, the Company has selected a lease accounting software solution to support the new reporting requirements, extracted and input into the software solution data from the lease agreements.
The Company will adopt the standard as of January 1, 2019, the beginning of fiscal 2019. EarlyThe Company will take advantage of the transition package of practical expedients as permitted within ASU No. 2016-02 which among other things allows the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company will be making an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less off of the Consolidated Balance Sheet and therefore there will be no requirement to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for these leases. We will recognize those lease payments in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The standard will have a material impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the Company estimates that the adoption of the standard is permitted.expected to result in the recognition of ROU lease assets and lease liabilities for operating leases ranging from approximately $475.0 million to $505.0 million and $490.0 million to $520.0 million, respectively. We do not believe the standard will materially affect our Consolidated Statement of Income or Consolidated Statement of Cash flow. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures. The standard will have no impact on our debt-covenant compliance under our current agreements.
In August 2016,January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,2017-04, Statement of Cash Flows - Classification of Certain Cash ReceiptsIntangibles – Goodwill and Cash PaymentsOther (Topic 230)350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment. . ASU 2016-15 amendsThe new guidance simplifies the guidance in ASC 230 related to the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. The primary purposeaccounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance will remain largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The same one-step impairment test will be applied to goodwill at all reporting units, even those with zero or negative carrying amounts. Entities will be required to disclose the amount of goodwill at reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. ASU is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The amendment adds or clarifies several statement of cash flow classification issues including: (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of certain zero-coupon debt instruments, (iii) contingent consideration payments, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investments, (vii) beneficial interest in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. The standardNo. 2017-04 is effective for annual or any interim and annual reporting periodsgoodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting thisthe standard on the Company’sCompany's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’tare not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. For available-for-sale debt securities, entities will be required to record allowances rather than reduce the carrying amount, as they do today under the other-than-temporary impairment model. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).

2. Acquisition
On November 30, 2018, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of Bags (the "Acquisition"). 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, as consideration for the acquisition of Bags, SP Plus paid to the Sellers total consideration of approximately $283.6 million. The consideration is comprised of $275.0 million of contractual cash consideration, $8.1 million related to the preliminary net working capital and cash acquired and $0.5 million for certain individual taxes to be paid by the Seller (the “Cash Consideration”). The purchase price is subject to adjustment based upon a working capital provision provided for by the purchase agreement, which the Company expects to finalize no later than the fourth quarter of 2019. As described in Note 21. Domestic and Foreign Operations, the Company integrated the Bags' operations into Segment Two (Aviation) for segment reporting purposes, effective November 30, 2018.
The Company's 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 is 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 date of acquisition.
The Company incurred certain acquisition and integration costs associated with the transaction that were expensed as incurred and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 3. Acquisition, Restructuring and Integration Costs.
The Company believes that information gathered to date provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed but the company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value set forth above are subject to change. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded with corresponding adjustments to goodwill. The Company expects to complete the purchase price allocation as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.
The following estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:

| (millions) |
|
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 5.9 |

| Accrued expenses | (4.1 | ) |
| Other long-term liabilities | (0.7 | ) |
| Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $ | 283.6 |
|
Goodwill amounting to $154.1 million represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The estimated goodwill to be recognized is attributable primarily to expanded revenue synergies and expanded opportunities in the aviation and hospitality businesses, and other benefits that the Company believes will result from combining its operations with the operations of Bags. The goodwill acquired is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
In March 2016,Other Intangibles assets, net acquired consist of the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, Investments - Equity Methodfollowing:

(1) Represents preliminary estimated life of assets acquired.
The fair value estimate 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 Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Simplifyingbest use). The estimated fair value of trade names was determined with the Transition to Equity Methodrelief from royalty savings method, which is a commonly-used variation of Accountingthe income approach. The Company considered the return on assets and market comparable methods when estimating an appropriate royalty rate for the trade names. The estimated fair value of acquired customer relationships was determined with the excess earnings method, which is a variation of the income approach. This approach calculates the excess of the future cash inflows (i.e., which eliminates the requirements to apply the equity method of accounting retrospectively when a reporting entity obtains significant influence over a previously held investment. Under ASU 2016-08, the equity method of accounting should be applied prospectivelyrevenue from customers generated from the date significant influence is obtained.

The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. estimated fair value of developed or existing technology was determined utilizing the relief from royalty savings method under the income approach with additional consideration given to asset deterioration rates.
The Company does not expectfinal determination of fair value of intangible assets, as well as estimated useful lives, remains subject to change. The finalization may have a material impact of adopting this standard on the Company’svaluation of intangible assets and the purchase price allocation, which is expected to be finalized subsequent to the transaction but within the measurement period.
Pro forma financial position,information
The following unaudited pro forma results of operations cash flowsfor the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, assumes the Acquisition was completed on January 1, 2017, 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 the acquisition have been adjusted in the pro forma information 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, 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 or to any future 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 are not included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement disclosures.of income as such transaction costs were determined not to be significant. Additionally, the pro forma financial information does not reflect the costs which the company has incurred or may incur to integrate Bags.

Acquisition, Restructuring and Integration Costs
The Company has incurred certain acquisition, restructuring, and integration costs that were expensed as incurred, which include:
transaction costs and other acquisition related costs (primarily professional services and advisory services) for the Bags acquisition (included within General and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income);
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 2018, 2017 and 2016 (included within General and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income);
costs related to the selling stockholders' underwritten public offerings of common stock of the Company incurred during the second quarter 2017 (included within General and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income); and

All accruals are expected to be paid during 2019, with the exception of $0.2 million included in Other long-term liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
4. Revenue
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, DerivativesThe Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Topics 606 and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships. The new guidance clarifies that a change in the counterparty853. Topic 606 requires entities to a derivative contract, in and of itself, does not require the dedesignation of a hedging relationship. An entity will, however, still need to evaluate whether it is probable that the counterparty will perform under contract as part of its ongoing effectiveness assessment for hedge accounting. Therefore, a novation of a derivative to a counterparty with a sufficiently high credit risk could still result in the dedesignationrecognize revenue when control of the hedging relationship. ASU 2016-05 is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted and entities have the option to adopt the new ASU on a prospective basis to new derivative contract novations or on a modified retrospective basis. The Company does not expect a material impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-2 requires lessees to move most leases to the balance sheet and recognize expense, similar to current accounting guidance, on the income statement. Additionally, the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases is modified for lessors. Under ASU 2016-2, all entities will classify leases to determine: (i) lease-related revenue and expense and (ii) for lessors, amount recorded on the balance sheet. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, with full retrospective application being prohibited. ASU 2016-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. These and other changes to accounting for leases under ASU 2016-2 are currently being evaluated by the Company for impacts to the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-1 amends various areas of the accounting for financial instruments. Key provisions of the amendment currently being evaluated by the Company requires (i) equity investments to be measured at fair value (except those accounted for under the equity method), (ii) the simplification of equity investment impairment determination, (iii) certain changes to the fair value measurement of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, (iv) the separate presentation, in other comprehensive income, the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (given certain conditions), and (v) the evaluation for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the Company's other deferred tax assets. ASU 2016-1 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. These provisions and others of ASU 2016-1 are currently being assessed by the Company for impacts on the Company's financial position, results of operations, cash flows and financial statement disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Since the release of ASU 2014-9, the FASB has issued the following additions ASUs updating the topic:
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients
In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net).
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date
Collectively these standards create new accounting guidance for revenue recognition that supersedes most existing revenue recognition rules, including most industry specific revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services is transferred to customers inat an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. See also Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and services. TopicPractices for further discussion. The Company adopted Topics 606 also provides new guidanceand 853 on January 1, 2018, using the recognitionmodified retrospective method of certain costsadoption.
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 than one performance obligation. Substantially all of our revenues come from the following two types of arrangements: Lease type and Management type contracts.
Services revenue - lease type contracts
Under lease type arrangements, the Company pays the property owner a fixed base rent or payment, percentage rent or payment 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 for services revenues related to customerlease type contracts include parking for transient and changesmonthly parkers. Revenue is recognized over time as the FASB guidanceCompany provides services. As noted in Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices and in accordance with Topic 853, certain expenses, primarily rental expense for revenue-related issues, suchthe contractual arrangements that meet the definition of service concession arrangements, are recorded as how an entity is required to consider whethera reduction of revenue should be reported gross or net basis. The amendments are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or afterthe year ended December 15, 2017.31, 2018.
Services revenue - management type contracts
Management type contract revenue consists of management fees, including both fixed, variable and/or performance-based fees. In exchange for this consideration, the Company has a bundle of performance obligations that include services such as managing the facilities and providing certain services to a client. The Company believes that it can generally purchase required insurance for the location at lower rates than clients can obtain on their own because the Company is effectively self-insured for all liability, worker's 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 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 the managed facilities or for providing certain services to a client, as these revenues belong to the clients 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 within the scope of Topic 853 include both lease type and management type contracts. Upon the adoption of Topic 853, revenue generated from service concession arrangements, is accounted for under the guidance of Topics 606 and Topic 853. For the year ended December 31, 2018, certain expenses (primarily rental expense) related to service concession arrangements, previously recorded within Cost of services - lease type contracts and Depreciation and amortization, have been recorded as a reduction of Services revenue - lease type contracts upon adoption of Topic 853.
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 of our 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 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.
Disaggregation of revenue
The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by type of arrangement for each of our 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 21. Domestic and Foreign Operations for further information on disaggregation of our 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 in 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 our 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 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.
Our 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, 2018 were not significant.
The Company's process for implementing Topic 606 includes, but is not limited to, identifying contracts within the scopetime between completion of the standard, identifying distinctperformance obligation and collection of cash is typically not more than 30 - 60 days. In certain contractual arrangements, such monthly parker contracts, cash is collected in advance of the Company commencing its performance obligations within eachunder the contractual arrangement.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had $113.6 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 applyingtherefore cannot be estimated at contract inception by the new guidance for measuring and recognizing revenue, to eachCompany. The Company applies the practical expedient that permits exclusion of information about the remaining performance obligation.obligations that have original expected durations of one year or less. The Company expects to complete the assessmentrecognize our remaining performance obligations as revenue in the second halffuture periods as follows:

Both lease type and management type contracts have customers and clients where amounts are billed as work progresses or in the amount equal to $27.0 million plus, if and to the extent the Net Debt Working Capital (as defined below) was less than $275.0 million (the "Lower Threshold") as of September 30, 2012, the amount by which the Net Debt Working Capital was below such amount (such sum, the "Cash Consideration Amount") to be paid three years after closing, to the extent the $27.0 million was not used to satisfy indemnity obligations pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company was entitled to indemnification from Central's former stockholders (i) if and to the extent Central's combined net debt and the absolute value of Central's working capital (as determinedadvance in accordance with the Merger Agreement) (the "Net Debt Working Capital") exceeded $285.0 million (the "Upper Threshold") as of September 30, 2012agreed-upon contractual terms. Billing may occur subsequent to or prior to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets and (ii) for certain defined adverse consequences as set forthcontract 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 Merger Agreement (including with respect to Structural and Repair Costs). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Central's former stockholders were required to satisfy certain indemnity obligations, which were capped at the Cash Consideration Amount (the "Capped Items") only through a reductionrecognition of the Cash Consideration. For certain other indemnity obligations set forth in the Merger Agreement, which were not capped at the Cash Consideration Amount (the "Uncapped Items"), including the Net Debt Working Capital indemnity obligations described above, Central's former stockholders had the ability to satisfy any amount payable pursuant to such indemnity obligations as follows (provided that the Company reserved the right to reject the cash and stock alternatives available to the Company and choose to reduce the Cash Consideration):
Central's former stockholders elect to pay such amount with cash;
Central's former stockholders elect to pay such amount with the Company's common stock (valued at $23.64 per share, the market value as of the closing date of the Merger Agreement); or
Central's former stockholders elect to reduce the $27.0 million cash consideration by such amount, subject to the condition that the cash consideration remains at least $17.0 million to cover Capped Items.contract liabilities.
Under the Merger Agreement, all post-closing claims and disputes, including as to indemnification matters, were ultimately subject to resolution through binding arbitration or, in the case of a dispute as to the calculation of Net Debt Working Capital, resolution by an independent public accounting firm.
Since the Closing Date, the Company periodically provided Central’s former stockholders notice regarding indemnification matters, including with respect to the calculation of Net Debt Working Capital, and made adjustments for known matters as they arose, although Central’s former stockholders did not agree to the aggregate of such adjustments made by the Company. During such time, Central’s former stockholders continually requested additional documentation supporting the Company’s indemnification claims, including with respect to the Company’s calculation of Net Debt Working Capital. Furthermore, following the Company's notices of indemnification matters, the representative of Central's former stockholders indicated that they may make additional inquiries and raise issues with respect to the Company's indemnification claims (including, specifically, as to Structural and Repair Costs) and that they may assert various claims of their own relating to the Merger Agreement.
The Company previously determined and submitted notification to Central’s former stockholders, that (i) the Net Debt Working Capital was $296.3 million as of September 30, 2012 and that, accordingly, the Net Debt Working Capital exceeded the Upper Threshold by $11.3 million; and (ii) the Company had indemnity claims of $23.4 million for certain defined adverse consequences (including indemnity claims with respect to Structural and Repair Costs incurred through December 31, 2015) and as set forth in an October 1, 2015 notification letter to Central's former stockholders' that certain indemnification claims for Structural and Repair Costs yet to be incurred met the requirements of the indemnification provisions established in the Merger Agreement.
In early 2015, the Company and Central’s former stockholders engaged an independent public accounting firm for ultimate resolution, through binding arbitration, regarding its dispute as to the Company’s calculation of Net Debt Working Capital. On April 30, 2015, with respect to the Company's Net Debt Working Capital calculation, the representative of Central's former stockholders submitted specific objections to the Company's calculation, asserting that the Net Debt Working Capital as of September 30, 2012 was $270.8 million ($4.2 million below the Lower Threshold) and on September 21, 2015 submitted a revised calculation, asserting that the Net Debt Working Capital as of September 30, 2012 was $278.0 million ($3.0 million above the Lower Threshold) and therefore no amounts are due to the Company given calculated net Debt Working Capital is between the Lower Threshold and the Upper Threshold. On October 1, 2015, the Company provided notification to Central's former stockholders that the aggregate amount of
Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported on a contract-by-contract basis and are included in Notes and accounts receivable, net and Accrued expenses, respectively, on the Company's (i) Net Debt Working Capital claim of $11.3 millionConsolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2012December 31, 2018. Impairment charges related to accounts receivable for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and (ii) indemnity claims2016, were not significant. There were no impairment charges recorded on contract assets and contract liabilities for certain defined adverse consequencesthe years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. The following table provides information about contract assets and contract liabilities with customers and clients as set forthof December 31, 2018:

On October 20, 2015, Central's former stockholders provided notification that they deemed the Company's refusalcontract asset balances to pay the $27.0 million Cash Consideration to be a violation of the terms of the Merger Agreement.
On February 19, 2016,accounts receivable when the Company and Central’s former stockholders received a non-appealable and binding decision from the independent public accounting firm indicating that Net Debt Working Capital as of September 30, 2012 was $291.6 million, or $6.6 million above the Upper Threshold. Furthermore, as part of the independent public accounting firm’s decision over the calculation of Net Debt Working Capital as of September 30, 2012, it was determined by the independent public accounting firm and the Company that $1.5 million of Net Debt Working Capital claims were more appropriately claimable asobtains an adverse consequence indemnification claim, as defined in the Merger Agreement. As such and in conjunction with the independent public accounting firm’s decision on Net Debt Working Capital, the Company (i) reclassified $1.5 million of indemnification claims from the Net Debt Working Capital calculationunconditional right to indemnification claims for certain adverse consequences; and (ii) recognizedconsideration, thereby establishing an expense of $1.6 million ($0.9 million, net of tax) in General and administrative expenses for certain of the other amounts disallowed under the Net Debt Working Capital calculation as of andaccounts receivable.

Changes in contract liability primarily include additional contract liabilities and liquidation of contract liabilities when revenue is recognized. The independent public accounting firm also determined that an additional $1.6 millionentire contract liability balance as of Net Debt Working Capital claims were disallowed; however, these Net Debt Working Capital amounts claimed by the Company were not previously recognized by the Company as a cost recovery given their contingent nature and since these claims were not previouslyJanuary 1, 2018 was recognized as an expense byrevenue during the Company, and therefore the independent public accounting firm’s decisionyear ended December 31, 2018.

AsCost of contracts, net
Cost of contracts, net represents the cost of obtaining contractual rights associated with providing services for a resultlease or management type contracts. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a significant impact on how the Company previously reported contract costs. Incremental costs incurred to obtain parking contracts are amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the independent public accounting firm’s decisioncontracts, including anticipated renewals and terminations. This is consistent with the timing of when the Company satisfies the related performance obligations. Estimated lives are based on the calculationcontract life or anticipated lives of Net Debt Working Capital, the Company revised its indemnity claimscontract.

No impairment charges were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and tear. The Company reduced the Cash Consideration Amount by $6.6 million, representing the amount Net Debt Working Capital exceeded the Upper Threshold, and $18.8 million, representing the amount of indemnified claims for certain adverse consequences (including but not limited to Structural and Repair Costs) recognized by the Company as of September 30, 2016. Additionally, the Company submitted $7.7 million of additional indemnity claims for certain adverse consequences (including but not limited to Structural and Repair Costs) to Central's former stockholders, including claims as set forth in the March 11, 2016, letter, but did not recognize these indemnity claims as a receivable or offset to the Cash Consideration Amount with a corresponding gain or reduction of costs incurred by the Company, as these claims were contingent in nature or represent costs which the Company had not yet incurred but which met the requirements of the indemnification provisions established in the Merger Agreement.respectively.
On September 27, 2016, the Company and Central's former stockholders agreed-upon non-binding terms to settle all outstanding matters between the parties relating to the Central Merger ("Settlement Terms") and on December 15, 2016 the Company and Central's former stockholders executed a settlement agreement ("Settlement Agreement") to settle all outstanding matters between the parties relating to the Central Merger (including the Company's claims as described above). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid Central's former stockholders $2.5 million in aggregate, which effectively reduced the $27.0 million of Cash Consideration that would have been payable by the Company to Central's former stockholders under the Merger Agreement by $24.5 million. As a result of the Settlement Terms, the Company recorded $0.8 million ($0.5 million, net of tax) in General and administrative expense within the Consolidated Statements of Income in the third quarter 2016. Additionally and pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties fully released one another for claims relating to the Central Merger, and therefore the Company has no further obligation to pay any additional Cash Consideration Amount to Central's former stockholders.
The Central Merger has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting (in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations), which requires, among other things, that most assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price has been allocated based on the estimated fair value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the date of acquisition. The Company finalized the purchase price allocation during the third quarter of 2013.
Restructuring, Merger and Integration Costs
Since the Central Merger, the Company has incurred certain restructuring, acquisition and integration costs associated with the transaction that were expensed as incurred. These costs are reflected in General and administrative expenses and Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization includes costs related to the write-off of certain fixed assets and the acceleration of certain software assets directly as a result of the Central Merger. Additionally, in the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company initiated a series of workforce reductions to increase organizational effectiveness and provide cost savings that can be reinvested in the Company's growth initiatives. As a result of these workforce reductions, the Company recognized $3.3 million of severance and other benefits-related charges in General and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income during the three months ended December 31, 2016.

3.5. Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing netNet income attributable to SP Plus Corporation by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at period end, consisting of incremental shares assumed to be issued upon exercise of stock options and the incremental shares assumed to be issued under performance share and restricted stock unit arrangements, using the treasury-stock method.

Performance Share Units
In September 2014, the Board of Directors authorized a performance-based incentive program under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("Performance-Based Incentive Program"), whereby the Company will issue performance share units to certain executive management 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 ownership of Company stock, retain executive talent, and reward executive performance. The Performance-Based Incentive Program provides participating executives with the opportunity to earn vested common stock if certain performance targets for pre-tax free cash flow are achieved over the cumulative three-year period and recipients satisfy service-based vesting requirements. The stock-based compensation expense associated with unvested performance-based incentives are 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 free cash flow over the cumulative three-year period.
In March 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a performance-based incentive program under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2018 Performance-Based Incentive Program"). The 2018 Performance-Based Incentive Program is similar to the 2016 and 2017 Performance-Based Incentive Program, with the exception of the number of shares ultimately to be issued is based on the achievement of free cash flow before cash tax and interest payments over the cumulative three-year period of 2018 through 2020.
During 2018, certain participating executives became vested in Performance-Based Incentive Program shares based on retirement eligibility and as a result $0.2 million of stock-based compensation related to 15,497 shares were recognized in General and administrative expenses, and which continue to be subject to achieving cumulative pre-tax free cash flow over the respective three-year periods. Additionally, participating executives became vested in the Performance-Based Incentive Program shares based on meeting eligibility for vesting at the end of the three-year performance period of 2016 through 2018. As a result, 51,160 shares were vested to these participating executives as of December 31, 2018.
In March 2017, the Board of Directors authorized another performance-based incentive program under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2017 Performance-Based Incentive Program"). The 2017 Performance-Based Incentive Program is similar to the 2015 and 2016 Performance-Based Incentive Program, with the exception of the number of shares ultimately to be issued is based on the achievement of free cash flow before cash tax payments over the cumulative three-year period of 2017 through 2019.
During 2017, certain participating executives became vested in Performance-Based Incentive Program shares based on retirement eligibility and as a result $0.2 million of stock-based compensation related to 7,529 shares were recognized in General and administrative expenses, and which continue to be subject to achieving cumulative pre-tax free cash flow over the respective three-year periods. Additionally, participating executives became vested in the Performance-Based Incentive Program shares based on meeting eligibility for vesting at the end of the three-year performance period of 2015 through 2017. As a result, 54,390 shares were vested to these participating executives as of December 31, 2017.
In April 2016, the Board of Directors authorized another performance-based incentive program under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2016 Performance-Based Incentive Program"). The 2016 Performance-Based Incentive Program is similar to the 2014 and 2015 Performance-Based Incentive Program, with the exception of the number of shares ultimately to be issued is based on the achievement of pre-tax free cash flow before cash tax payments over the cumulative three-year period of 2016 through 2018.
During 2016, certain participating executives became vested in Performance-Based Incentive Program shares based on retirement eligibility and as a result $0.1 million of stock-based compensation related to 2,083 shares were recognized in General and administrative expenses, and which continue to be subject to achieving cumulative pre-tax free cash flow over the respective three-year periods. Additionally, participating executives became vested in the Performance-Based Incentive Program shares based on meeting eligibility for vesting at the end of the three-year performance period of 2014 through 2016. As a result, 82,334 shares were vested to these participating executives as of December 31, 2016.
In April 2015, the Board of Directors authorized another performance-based incentive program under the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2015 Performance-Based Incentive Program"). The 2015 Performance-Based Incentive Program is similar to the 2014 Performance-Based Incentive Program, with the exception of the number of shares ultimately to be issued is based on the achievement of pre-tax free cash flow over the cumulative three-year period of 2015 through 2017.
During 2015, certain participating executives became vested in Performance-Based Incentive Program shares based on retirement eligibility and as a result $0.1 million of stock-based compensation related to 6,915 shares were recognized in General and administrative expenses, and which continue to be subject to achieving cumulative pre-tax free cash flow over the respective three-year periods.
During 2014, certain participating executives became vested in the Performance-Based Incentive Program shares based on retirement eligibility and as a result $0.2 million of stock-based compensation related to 9,687 shares were recognized in General and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Income, and which continue to be subject to achieving cumulative pre-tax free cash flow over the three-year period of 2014 through 2016.

Asset additions are recorded at cost, which includes interest on significant projects. Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives or over the terms of the respective leases, whichever is shorter, and depreciated principally on the straight-line basis. The costs and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or disposed of are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when conditions indicate an impairment or future impairment; the assets are either written down or the useful life is adjusted to the remaining period of estimated useful life.
DepreciationThe table below shows the Company's depreciation and amortization expense related to Leasehold improvements, equipment and construction in progress for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $16.2 million, $15.9 millionis included in Depreciation and $12.0 million, respectively.

The Company tests goodwill at least annually for impairment (the Company has elected to annually test for potential impairment of goodwill on the first day of the fourth quarter) and tests more frequently if indicators are present or changes in circumstances suggest that impairment may exist. The indicators include, among others, declines in sales, earning or cash flows or the development of a material adverse change in business climate. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a reporting unit. See Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies and Practices for additional detail on the Company's policy for assessing goodwill for impairment.
Due to a change in the Company’s segment reporting effective January 1, 2016, the goodwill allocated to previous reporting units have been reallocated to new reporting units based on the relative fair value of the new reporting units. See also Note 20. Domestic and Foreign Operations for further disclosure on the Company’s change in reporting segments effective January 1, 2016.
As a result of the change in internal reporting segment information, the Company completed a quantitative test (Step One) of goodwill impairment as of January 1, 2016 and concluded that the estimated fair values of each of the Company’s reporting units exceeded its carrying amount of net assets assigned to that reporting unit and therefore no further testing was required (Step Two). In conducting the January 1, 2016 goodwill impairment quantitative test (Step One), the Company analyzed actual and projected growth trends of the reporting units, gross margin, operating expenses and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) (which also includes forecasted five-year income statement and working capital projection, a market-based weighted average cost of capital and terminal values after five years). 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. As part of the January 1, 2016 goodwill assessment, the Company engaged a third-party to evaluate its reporting units’ fair values. No impairment was recorded as a result of the goodwill impairment test performed.
The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2016,2018, using a qualitative test (Step Zero), to determine the likelihood of impairment and if it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units were less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company concluded that the estimated fair values of each of the Company's reporting units exceeded its carrying amount of net assets assigned to that reporting unit and, therefore, no further testing was required (Step One). Generally, the more-likely-than-not threshold is a greater than a 50% likelihood that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than the carrying value. As partNo impairment was recorded as a result of the October 1, 2016 goodwill assessment, the Company engaged a third-party to estimate a discount rate, which is a primary driver in the valuation of the Company's reporting units' fair values.
The reporting units are reported as Region One (Urban), Region Two (Airport Transportation) and Region Three (other reporting units of USA Parking and event planning and transportation services). For purposes of reportable segments, goodwill in Region Three is attributable to USA Parking and event planning reporting units.impairment test performed.
10.12. 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.
Level 3: Inputs that are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the basis of measurement at December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Interest Rate Swaps
The Company seeks to minimize risks from interest rate fluctuations through the use of interest rate swap contracts and hedge only exposures in the ordinary course of business. Interest rate swaps are used to manage interest rate risk associated with our floating rate debt. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments at fair value provided it meets certain documentary and analytical requirements to qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Hedge accounting creates the potential for a Consolidated Statements of Income match between the changes in fair values of derivatives and the changes in cost of the associated underlying transactions, in this case interest expense. Derivatives held by us are 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 Income at such time, with any subsequent changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. Fair values of derivatives are determined based on quoted prices for similar contracts. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the interest rate swap is reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders' equity, and is being recognized as an adjustment to interest expense or other (expense) income, respectively, over the same period the related expenses are recognized in earnings. Ineffectiveness would occur when changes in the market value of the hedged transactions are not completely offset by changes in the market value of the derivative and those related gains and losses on derivatives representing hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized currently in earnings when incurred. No ineffectiveness was recognized during 2016, 2015 or 2014.
Contingent Consideration Receivable
During the third quarterAs of 2015, certain assets, which met the definition of a business, were sold to a third-party in an arms-length transaction (see also Note 1. Significant Accounting PoliciesDecember 31, 2018 and Practices for further detail on the sale of the business). Under the sales agreement, 40% of the sale proceeds from the buyer is contingent in nature and scheduled to be received by2017, the Company in February 2017, or eighteen months from the date of the transaction. The buyer has 60 days from this date to calculatehad no financial assets and remit the remaining consideration. The contingent consideration amount expected to be received by the Company is based on the financialliabilities, other than cash and operational performance of the business sold. The significant inputs used to derive the Level 3 fair value contingent consideration receivable is the probability of reaching certain revenue growth of the business and retention of current customers over the eighteen month period. The fair value of the contingent consideration receivable for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $0.5 million.
Contingent Consideration Obligation
The significant inputs used to derive the fair value of the contingent consideration obligation include financial forecasts of future operating results, the probability of reaching the forecast and the associated discount rate. The contingent acquisition obligation remaining for the year ended December 31, 2016 was not significant.

For the year ended December 31, 2016, no material changes occurred in the faron a recurring basis. The carrying value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a benefit of $0.2 million in Generalcash and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Incomecash equivalents approximates their fair value due to the change in fair value measurements using a level three valuation technique. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized an expense $0.5 million in General and administrative expenses due to the change in fair value measurements using a level three valuation technique. These adjustments were the result of using revised forecasts to operating results, updates to the probability of achieving the revised forecasts and updated fair value measurements that revised the Company's contingent consideration obligations related to the purchaseshort-term nature of these businesses.financial instruments and has been classified as a Level 1.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets are measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Non-financial assets such as goodwill, intangible assets, and leasehold improvements, equipment land and construction in progress are subsequently measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when an 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 its goodwill and intangible assets is not estimated if there is no change in events or circumstances that indicate the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. The Company has not recorded impairment charges related to its business acquisitions. 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.

The Company recognized a $0.2$0.3 million net benefit for the reversal of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets established for the historical net operating losses. The Company has $18.6 million of tax-effected state net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2016, which will expire in years 2017 through 2036.

Net expenses for contributions not reimbursed by clients and related to multiemployer defined benefit and defined contribution benefit plans were $2.1 million, $2.0 million and $3.3 million $4.6 millionfor the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and $2.7 million in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
In the event that the Company decides to cease participating in these plans, the Company could be assessed a withdrawal liability. The Company currently does not have any intentions to cease participating in these multiemployer pension plans and therefore would not trigger the withdrawal liability.

The foregoing description of the Additional Closing Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Additional Closing Agreements, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.2 through 10.8 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 2, 2012.
17.18. Bradley Agreement
The Company entered into a 25-year agreement with the State of Connecticut ("State") that expires on April 6, 2025, under which it operates the surface parking and 3,500 garage parking spaces at Bradley International Airport ("Bradley") located in the Hartford, Connecticut metropolitan area.
The parking garage was financed through the issuance of State of Connecticut special facility revenue bonds and provides that the Company deposits, with the trustee for the bondholders, all gross revenues collected from operations of the surface and garage parking. From these gross revenues, the trustee pays debt service on the special facility revenue bonds outstanding, operating and capital maintenance expense of the surface and garage parking facilities, and specific annual guaranteed minimum payments to the state. Principal and interest on the Bradley special facility revenue bonds increase from approximately $3.6 million in contract year 2002 to approximately $4.5 million in contract year 2025. Annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State increase from
approximately $8.3 million contract year 2002 to approximately $13.2 million in contract year 2024. The annual minimum guaranteed payment to the State by the trustee for the twelve months ended December 31, 20162018 and 20152017 was $11.3$11.8 million and $11.0$11.5 million, respectively. All of the cash flow from the parking facilities are pledged to the security of the special facility revenue bonds and are collected and deposited with the bond trustee. Each month the bond trustee makes certain required monthly distributions, which are characterized as "Guaranteed Payments." To the extent the monthly gross receipts generated by the parking facilities are not sufficient for the trustee to make the required Guaranteed Payments, the Company is obligated to deliver the deficiency amount to the trustee, with such deficiency payments representing interest bearing advances to the trustee. The Company does not directly guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee.
The following is the list of Guaranteed Payments:
Garage and surface operating expenses,
Principal and interest on the special facility revenue bonds,
Trustee expenses,
Major maintenance and capital improvement deposits;deposits, and
State minimum guarantee.
To the extent sufficient funds exist, the trustee is then directed to reimburse the Company for deficiency payments up to the amount of the calculated surplus, with the Company having the right to be repaid the principal amount of any and all deficiency payments, together with actual interest and premium, not to exceed 10% of the initial deficiency payment. The Company calculates and records interest and premium income along with deficiency principal repayments as a reduction of cost of parking services in the period the associated deficiency repayment is received from the trustee. The Company believes these advances to be fully recoverable as the Bradley Agreement places no time restriction on the Company's right to reimbursement.
The total deficiency repayments, net of payments made, as of December 31, 2016, 20152018, 2017 and 20142016 are as follows:

Deficiency payments made are recorded as an increase in costCost of parking servicesservices-management type contracts and deficiency repayments, interest and premium received are recorded as reductions to cost of parking services. The reimbursement of principal, interest and premium are recognized when received.
There were no amounts of estimated deficiency payments accrued as of December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, as the Company concluded that the potential for future deficiency payments did not meet the criteria of both probable and estimable.
In addition to the recovery of certain general and administrative expenses incurred, the Bradley Agreement provides for an annual management fee payment, which is based on operating profit tiers. The annual management fee is further apportioned 60% to the Company and 40% to an un-affiliated entity and the annual management fee will be paid to the extent funds are available for the trustee to make distribution, and are paid after Guaranteed Payments (as defined in the Bradley Agreement) repayment of all deficiency payments, including interest and premium. Cumulative management fees of approximately $16.7$18.7 million and $15.7$17.7 million have not been recognized as of December 31, 20162018 and 2015,2017, respectively, and no management fees were recognized as revenue during 2016, 20152018, 2017 or 2014.2016.

19.20. Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of its business. The outcomes of legal proceedings and claims brought against it and other loss contingencies are subject to significant uncertainty. The Company accrues a charge against income when its 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. In addition, the Company accrues for the authoritative judgments or assertions made against it 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 non-material 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 its operation, financial condition or cash flow.
In determining the appropriate accounting for loss contingencies, the Company considers the likelihood of loss or impairment of an asset or the incurrence of a liability, as well as its 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.
Holten Settlement
In March 2010, John V. Holten, a former indirect controlling shareholder of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court, District of Connecticut. Mr. Holten was terminated as the Company's chairman in October 2009. The lawsuit alleged breach of his employment agreement and claimed that the agreement entitled Mr. Holten to payments worth more than $3.8 million. The Company filed an answer and counterclaim to Mr. Holten's lawsuit in 2010.
In March 2016, the Company and Mr. Holten settled all claims in connection with the original lawsuits ("Holten Settlement"). Per the settlement, the Company paid Mr. Holten $3.4 million of which $1.9 million was recovered by the Company through the Company's directors and officers liability insurance policies. The Company recognized an expense, net of insurance recoveries, related to the Holten Settlement of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Settlement with Former Central Stockholders
In September 2016, the Company and the former stockholders of KCPC Holdings, Inc., which was the ultimate parent of Central Parking Corporation (collectively, "Central") agreed-upon non-binding terms to settle all outstanding matters between the parties relating to the Central Merger ("Settlement Terms") and on December 15, 2016 the Company and Central's former stockholders executed a settlement agreement ("Settlement Agreement") to settle all outstanding matters between the parties relating to the Central Merger (including the Company's claims as described above). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid Central's former stockholders $2.5 million in aggregate. As a result of the Settlement Terms, the Company recorded $0.8 million ($0.5 million, net of tax) in General and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Income in 2016. Additionally and pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the parties fully released one another for any future claims.
20.21. Domestic and Foreign Operations
Business Unit Segment Information
Segment information is presented in accordance with a "management approach," which designates the internal reporting used by the chief operating decision maker 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 separate financial information is available and evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing the Company's overall 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 president and chief executive officer. The business is managed based on regionssegments administered by executive vice presidents. Each of the operating segments is directly responsible for revenue and expenses related to their operations including direct regionalsegment administrative costs. Finance, information technology, human resources, and legal are shared functions that are not allocated back to the fourtwo operating segments. The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its
revenue and operating income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, but does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. There are no inter-segment transactions and the Company does not allocate interest and other income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization or taxes to operating segments. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.
Effective January 1, 2016,In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company began certain organizational and executive leadership changes to align with how our CODM reviews performance and makes decisions in managing the Company and therefore, changed its internal operatingreporting segment information reported to the CODM.CODM as a result of the Bags acquisition (see Note 2. Acquisition). The operating segments are internally reported as RegionSegment One (Urban), Region(Commercial and Institutional) and Segment Two (Airport Transportation) and Region Three (other reporting units of USA Parking and event planning and transportation services)(Aviation). All prior periods presented have been restated to reflect the new internal reporting to the CODM.
RegionSegment One (Urban)(Commercial and Institutional) 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.
RegionSegment Two (Airport transportation)(Aviation) encompasses our services at all majorin aviation (i.e., 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 valetreplacement, remote air check-in services, wheelchair assist services and other services.
Region Three encompasses other operating segments including USA Parking and event planning, including shuttle and transportation services.
Other"Other" consists of ancillary revenue that is not specifically identifiable to a regionSegments One or Two and certain unallocated items, such as and including prior year insurance reserve adjustments.adjustments and other corporate items.

(1) On November 30, 2018, we completed our acquisition of Bags. Our consolidated operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 includes Bags operating results for the period of November 30, 2018 through December 31, 2018. Our consolidated results for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 do not include the operating results of Bags. See Note 2. Acquisition for additional information.
In the first quarter of 2017, the Company changed its internal reporting segment information reported to its CODM. The Company will prospectively report on the following regions beginning in 2017 and restate prior periods presented to reflect the internal reporting to the CODM:
Region One (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 transportation services, valet services, taxi and livery dispatch services and event planning, including shuttle and transportation services.
Region Two (Airports) encompasses our services at all major airports as well as ancillary services, which includes shuttle and transportation services and valet services.
Other consists of ancillary revenue that is not specifically identifiable to a region and certain unallocated insurance reserve adjustments.
21.22. Unaudited Quarterly Results
The following table sets forth the Company's unaudited quarterly consolidated statement of income data for the years ended December 31, 20162018 and December 31, 2015.2017. The unaudited quarterly information has been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial information and, in management's opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information for the quarters presented. Historically, the Company's operating results have varied from quarter to quarter and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations have been due to a number of factors, including: general economic conditions in its markets; acquisitions; additions of contracts; expiration and termination of contracts; conversion of lease type contracts to management type contracts; conversion of management type contracts to lease type contracts and changes in terms of contracts that are retained and timing of general and administrative expenditures.
The operating results for any historical quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future period.
