New 7-year agreement with Avis Budget Group and 5-year agreement with Hertz provide long-term visibility for commercial services. Government safety selected as vendor for all 6 California AB 645 cities, including Los Angeles, expecting $10M ARR once finalized. ### Margins / costs Commercial segment margins pressured; cost transformation targeting $20M+ run-rate savings by 2027, headcount reductions largely complete, further non-labor opportunities. CFO acknowledges margin percent lower than beginning of year; cost takeout achieved $20M potential run-rate for 2027, with ongoing non-labor procurement and process efficiency efforts. ### Capital allocation Focus on investing in technology, product development, customer service, and AI while reducing lower-value activities; no mention of dividends, buybacks, or M&A. Management emphasizes disciplined resource allocation toward technology, product development, customer service, and AI capabilities; cost savings redirected to growth investments. ### Milestones - **Avis Budget Group 7-year contract renewal** [delivered]: Agreement reached on key contractual terms for new 7-year tolling and violation services contract. - **Hertz 5-year contract renewal** [delivered]: New 5-year agreement entered providing long-term visibility and strong foundation. - **Los Angeles automated speed safety vendor selection** [on_track]: Awarded vendor;

management surprised by deterioration. - **Margin compression**: Commercial segment EBITDA margins lower than guided; recovery dependent on cost actions and new contract economics. - **Parking segment viability**: Parking solutions business underperformed, wrote down; future uncertain, potential divestiture questioned. - **Execution risk on cost transformation**: Non-labor cost savings not yet realized; headcount reductions done but further procurement and process efficiencies needed. - **AI integration uncertainty**: AI initiatives early stage; value creation from 10 petabytes data unproven. - **Customer concentration**: Heavy reliance on large fleet customers (Avis, Hertz); loss of either would be material. - **Regulatory/political risk**: Government safety business dependent on legislative authorizations (e.g., AB 645); expansion uncertain. ### Key quotes > “Establish clear priorities, act decisively, communicate candidly, and deliver on our commitments.” > “We have reached an agreement with ABG on the key contractual terms for a new 7 year tolling and violation services contract extending a relationship that had already spanned nearly 2 decades.” > “Today, I am also pleased to announce that we have entered into a new 5 year agreement with Hertz that provides long term visibility for both companies and establishes a strong foundation for the next phase of our relationship.” > “Verra Mobility will have been selected as the technology partner for 6 out of the 6 cities that were authorized by that legislation.” > “We think that is gonna be $20 million potentially or more as we look at our run rate for 2027 And we are not we are not done yet.” ## Quarter one-liners - **2026 Q2:** Verra Mobility Q2 2026: Interim CEO Keyser highlights customer wins (Avis 7-yr, Hertz 5-yr), 6/6 CA speed camera wins, cost transformation targeting $20M+ run-rate savings by 2027, and AI-driven platform vision. - **2026 Q1:** Verra Mobility Q1 2026 revenue in line, adj EBITDA ahead;
