--Converted Two-Thirds of Portfolio to Management Contracts--

Mobile Infrastructure Corporation (NYSE:BEEP), ("Mobile", "Mobile Infrastructure" or the "Company"), owners of a diversified portfolio of parking assets throughout the United States, today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

Management Commentary

Commenting on the results, Manuel Chavez III, Chief Executive Officer, said "Our asset portfolio performed well in the fourth quarter, with net operating income up over 27% from the prior year quarter, reflecting positive leasing trends and reduced operating expenses. These results capped a transformative year for Mobile Infrastructure in which we completed a merger transaction, deleveraged the balance sheet, and provided liquidity to shareholders by listing the Company on the New York Stock Exchange American.

"Mobile's strategy of actively managing our asset portfolio led to accelerating organic revenue growth in the second half of 2023. Our asset management team is leveraging our proprietary technology platform and working directly with service providers to customize offerings that address the dynamic parking needs of our corporate, hospitality, and transient customers. Additionally, in the first quarter, we converted 26 of our portfolio assets from leased to management contracts. This action will give us greater flexibility to optimize rates and utilization, while also executing strategies to contain operating expenses.

"Full year results were impacted by substantial non-cash charges, primarily associated with our merger and listing, that are not expected to recur in future periods. We ended the year with an improved financial position, highlighted by $29.1 million of debt paydown. Our parking asset portfolio was valued at over $520 million in late 2022 by an independent national real estate services firm. Since that time, our net operating income has increased by 9.5%."

Fourth Quarter Business and Financial Highlights

• Total revenue was $7.9 million as compared to $6.9 million in the prior year period.
• Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $9.2 million as compared to $5.2 million in the prior year period.
• NOI* was $5.5 million as compared to $4.3 million in the prior year period.
• Adjusted EBITDA* was $3.4 million as compared to $2.5 million in the prior year period.

*An explanation and reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures are presented later in this press release.

Financial Results

Total revenue of $7.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2023 increased by 14.3% from $6.9 million in the prior year quarter. Total property taxes and operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $2.4 million, as compared to $2.6 million during the same period in 2022.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $9.2 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared with $5.2 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, in the comparable prior year period.

Net Operating Income ("NOI"), defined by the Company as total revenues less property taxes and operating expenses, was $5.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a 27.7% increase from the fourth quarter of 2022, and demonstrating the model's inherent operating leverage from higher revenue and lower property operating expenses.

General and administrative expenses of $3.9 million reflected $2.4 million of non-cash compensation.

Interest expense for the fourth quarter 2023 was $3.0 million, as compared to $3.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, benefiting from the repayment of debt in the third quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA was $3.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, representing a 36.5% increase over the same year-ago period. The increase reflects the benefit of NOI improvement, partially offset by an increase in professional fees related to the transition to management contracts and general and administrative expenses due to increased insurance costs and compensation expense.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $17.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. As of December 31, 2023, total debt outstanding, including outstanding borrowings on the credit facility and notes payable, was $192.9 million, compared to total debt outstanding of $219.7 million as of December 31, 2022.

Summary and Outlook**

"Mobile Infrastructure ended 2023 with positive momentum, and we expect the investment made over the last eighteen months to result in accelerating organic net operating income growth in 2024. Our priorities are to drive operating efficiencies across our portfolio by utilizing proprietary data analytics, together with on-site relationships, to tailor our offerings to specific markets and evaluate opportunities for ancillary revenue. Based on the visibility in our current parking asset portfolio, we expect revenues to range from $38 million to $40 million for 2024, reflecting mid-single-digit organic growth and the shift from leased to managed contracts. Net operating income is expected to range from $22.5 million to $23.25 million for full year 2024.

"Longer term, we expect return to office trends and the conversion of commercial office buildings to residences in several of our markets to serve as growth tailwinds. At the same time, Mobile Infrastructure intends to build on its successful operating model to become the acquirer of choice in the fragmented parking industry. We have a pipeline of potential acquisitions which could be completed once financial market conditions improve.

"2023 was a transformational year for our company, and 2024 will be a year in which we focus on operational improvements as we work to further strengthen the performance of our existing asset portfolio. We appreciate the dedication of the Mobile team, the quality of our service providers, and the support of our shareholders and look forward to delivering strong returns in the periods ahead," Mr. Chavez concluded.

Discussion and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Net Operating Income

Net Operating Income ("NOI") is presented as a supplemental measure of our performance. The Company believes that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations, as it highlights operating trends such as pricing and demand for our portfolio at the property level as opposed to the corporate level. NOI is calculated as total revenues less property operating expenses and property taxes. The Company uses NOI internally in evaluating property performance, measuring property operating trends, and valuing properties in our portfolio. Other real estate companies may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to other real estate companies. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of financial performance as it does not reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income and expenses, or the level of capital expenditures necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company's properties that could materially impact results from operations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") reflects net income (loss) excluding the impact of the following items: interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and the provision for income taxes, for all periods presented. When applicable, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes certain recurring and non-recurring items from EBITDA, including, but not limited to gains or losses from disposition of real estate assets, impairment write-downs of depreciable property, non-cash changes in the fair value of the Earn-Out liability, merger-related charges and other expenses, gains or losses on settlements, and stock-based compensation expense.

The use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparison with results from other companies because it excludes certain items that can vary widely across different industries or among companies within the same industry. For example, interest expense can be dependent on a company's capital structure, debt levels, and credit ratings. The tax positions of companies can also vary because of their differing abilities to take advantage of tax benefits and because of the tax policies of the jurisdictions in which they operate. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also exclude depreciation and amortization expense because differences in types, use, and costs of assets can result in considerable variability in depreciation and amortization expense among companies. The Company excludes stock-based compensation expense in all periods presented to address the considerable variability among companies in recording compensation expense because companies use stock-based payment awards differently, both in the type and quantity of awards granted. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of operating performance which allows for comparison of earnings and evaluation of debt leverage and fixed cost coverage. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income (loss), cash flow from operations or any other operating GAAP measure.

Forward-Looking Basis

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact net income which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, external growth factors and balance sheet items, that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
