STANDARD PARKING CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER 2003 RESULTS

 

CHICAGO, November 7, 2003 - Standard Parking Corporation, one of the nation’s largest operators of paid parking facilities, today announced third quarter 2003 operating results.

 

Gross profit was $15.4 million for the quarter and $44.3 million for the first nine months of 2003, an increase of 7.8% and 9.3% as compared to the same periods in 2002.  Operating income was $4.3 million for the third quarter and $11.6 million for the first nine months of 2003, an increase of 11.0% and 35.3% over the comparable periods in 2002.

 

“The third quarter’s results continue the trend of year-over-year improvement, and when coupled with the renegotiation of our Senior Credit Facility and the improvement of our Standard and Poor’s ratings, are clearly reflective of our efforts to exceed expectations,” said James A. Wilhelm, Standard Parking’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We are very focused on identifying and maintaining flexibility while executing our business model in a manner consistent with our core values of excellence, innovation and integrity,” Wilhelm concluded.
