Customer Churn in Fleet Management: A 3% decline in fleet management revenue due to customer churn was noted, which could continue to impact financial performance.

New York City Contract Readiness Investments: Significant readiness investments are required for the NYC contract, including cloud migration and subcontractor ramp-up costs, which may strain short-term profitability.

Economic Sensitivity of Commercial Services: Commercial Services growth is tied to TSA travel volume, which is only expected to grow modestly, making it sensitive to economic or travel disruptions.
Dependence on Legislative Changes: Future growth in Government Solutions is partially dependent on legislative changes, such as California's red-light camera reforms, which may not materialize as expected.
Debt and Interest Rate Exposure: Approximately $690 million of Verra Mobility's debt is floating rate, exposing the company to potential interest rate increases.
