The latest Airport Parking Financials show good steady growth:
- Gross profit at the Company's airport parking business increased 45.0 percent to $21.4 million in 2006. The increase was driven, in part, by the full year contribution from new sites acquired in late 2005.
- Revenue at comparable locations increased 7.2 percent year over year and gross profit percentage increased to 27.9 percent from 25.44 percent.
- EBITDA increased by 45.3 percent over 2005. Adjusting for unrealized (non-cash) loss on interest rate hedges, EBITDA would have increased 52.6 percent.
- The increases reflect the ongoing execution of a strategy to increase average revenue per car out and average length of stay - up 10.0 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively, year over year at comparable locations.
-
Net income was reduced by a non-cash impairment charge of $23.5 million related to the write-down of trade name values as a result of the re-branding of the business as FastTrack Airport Parking.
