Valuing Your Parking Asset & Preparing for a Sale

Monday, September 19, 3:00 - 4:00 PM

Understand how to critically analyze a parking asset to determine its market value, whether it is for a sale or for a merger and acquisition (M&A). Many parking owners think of their assets in terms of location or profit level while Wall Street, private equity (PE) and other investment firms tend to think in terms of EBITDA, or Discounted Cash Flow (DCF).

This in-depth session will explain what Wall Street and investment firms examine when they evaluate a parking asset.

You will:

  • See your business through the critical lens of a banker or Wall Street investor and the metrics they employ.
  • Understand what key metrics to analyze when considering the purchase of a parking business.
  • Learn the due diligence required when preparing your parking enterprise for sale.
An open-mic discussion will follow the presentation.

Monday, September 19, 4:00 - 5:00 PM

The EV revolution is upon us, and demand for charging is growing faster than ever. The parking industry has an unprecedented opportunity to create new revenue, improve the parker experience, create new and highly profitable locations, and solve one of the biggest challenges for automakers as they continue to electrify their vehicle lineups.

Join a panel of automotive and mobility executives at the forefront of this development and discover how EV is changing parking’s future.

The panel will explore:

  • The state of the EV revolution, especially after the passing of the Infrastructure bill, and what it means for asset owners and operators.
  • The parking industry's role in creating a quality EV charging network in the urban core, which includes making good on an integrated, convenient experience across valet, transient, monthly, residential, and fleet environments.
