Mobile Infrastructure Corporation

Company Overview

Business Model: Mobile Infrastructure Corporation is a Maryland corporation focused on acquiring, owning, and optimizing parking facilities and related infrastructure, including parking lots and garages, across the United States. The Company targets properties primarily in the top 50 U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) with proximity to key demand drivers such as commerce, events, government, institutions, hospitality, and multifamily central business districts. The Company operates substantially all of its assets and conducts operations through Mobile Infra Operating Company, LLC, in which it holds approximately 90.3% of the Common Units. As of December 31, 2025, 28 of the Company's 36 assets have converted to management contracts, under which the Company recognizes revenue and expenses on a gross basis as the principal.

Market Position: As of December 31, 2025, Mobile Infrastructure Corporation owns 36 parking facilities across 19 U.S. markets, totaling approximately 13,500 parking spaces and 4.7 million square feet, alongside 0.2 million square feet of adjacent commercial space. The Company benefits from its management team's extensive industry experience, which provides access to off-market acquisition opportunities. The parking industry is characterized by a strong local customer affinity, dynamic pricing capabilities that act as an inflationary hedge due to the absence of long-term leases, negligible leasing commissions, minimal tenant improvement requirements, and low capital expenditure needs given the long-lived nature of the assets.

Recent Strategic Developments:

• Portfolio Optimization: The Company is focused on optimizing its parking mix between Transient and Contract Parkers to maximize revenue, leveraging local operator insights and an internal sales team.
• Asset Management Conversion: 28 of 36 assets have converted to management contracts, aiming for full conversion by the end of 2027 to enhance Net Operating Income (NOI) growth through transparent expense management and reduced revenue variability.
• Ancillary Revenue Opportunities: Actively pursuing tech-enabled ancillary revenue streams such as EV charging, solar energy, rideshare staging, autonomous vehicle support, fleet management, 5G, and other wireless technologies, and storage.
• Accretive External Growth: Leveraging its Nasdaq listing for capital access to fund acquisitions, targeting assets with a sufficient spread between cost of capital and capitalization rate, or strong incremental yield within 24 months. The Company aims to consolidate the fragmented parking industry.

The Company leverages local operator insights and an internal sales team to increase monthly parking contracts and utilization. Its business model relies on third-party operators to manage the day-to-day operations and customer interactions at its parking facilities.

Customer Portfolio: Customer Concentration:

• Operator Concentration: Metropolis Technologies, Inc. accounted for 63.1% of the Company's revenue (excluding commercial revenue) in 2025. LAZ Parking accounted for 16.8% of the Company's revenue (excluding commercial revenue) in 2025.

Competitive Intelligence

Market Structure & Dynamics

Industry Characteristics: The parking industry involves property owners and operators providing off-street, paid parking and valet services. Facilities are typically located near commercial operations, transit hubs, hospitality, civic, medical, and entertainment venues. The industry benefits from a customer base with strong local affinity, dynamic pricing capabilities (acting as an inflationary hedge), negligible leasing commissions, minimal tenant improvement requirements, and low capital expenditure needs due to the long-lived nature of assets.

Competitive Positioning Matrix:

Direct Competitors

Primary Competitors: The Company faces intense competition from a fragmented market including real estate investment trusts (REITs), other parking facility owners and operators (ranging from single-facility to large regional/national multi-facility operators, including public companies), private investment funds, hedge funds, and building owners offering on-site paid parking. Many competitors possess significantly greater resources.

Competitive Response Strategy: Mobile Infrastructure Corporation leverages its management team's extensive industry experience to identify and acquire off-market parking facilities, creating a bespoke and actionable acquisition pipeline largely unavailable to competitors. The Company's strategy is to consolidate the industry through acquisitions and partnerships with owners and tenants to achieve scale.

Risk Assessment Framework

Strategic & Market Risks

Market Dynamics: Revenues are highly sensitive to overall demand for parking facilities. Risks include increased fuel prices, reduced discretionary spending, decreased business travel, and lower attendance at events. The prevalence of work-from-home and hybrid remote strategies significantly impacts demand in urban centers. Changing consumer preferences, such as increased use of ridesharing and car-sharing services, and the potential for driverless vehicles, could decrease parking demand. Urban congestion pricing and public transit initiatives also pose risks. Technology Disruption: The development and use of emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, generative AI, and large language models present risks of unintended consequences, legal/regulatory actions, and reputational harm. Future innovations like driverless vehicles could reduce the need for parking spaces.

Operational & Execution Risks

Supplier Dependency: A significant concentration of operational risk exists with two primary operators: Metropolis Technologies, Inc. (63.1% of 2025 revenue, excluding commercial revenue) and LAZ Parking (16.8% of 2025 revenue, excluding commercial revenue). Adverse developments in these operators' businesses or their inability to efficiently manage properties could materially impact results. Geographic Concentration: The portfolio exhibits concentrations in Cincinnati (20.0%), Detroit (11.0%), and Chicago (9.8%) based on gross book value of real estate as of December 31, 2025, increasing exposure to local market downturns. Capacity Constraints: The Company requires increased portfolio scale to offset public reporting costs, dependent on its ability to acquire high-quality assets and access capital.

Financial & Regulatory Risks

Market & Financial Risks: The Company has a limited operating history and a history of net losses. It faces substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern due to a $25.9 billion Line of Credit (plus $5.6 billion accrued interest) maturing on March 31, 2026, without sufficient cash on hand or projected cash flows for repayment. Management's plan to extend the Line of Credit and sell real estate assets is intended to alleviate this doubt. The Company utilizes significant debt, and its debt agreements contain restrictive covenants that could limit operational and financial flexibility. Defaults on secured loans could lead to property foreclosures. Real estate is an illiquid investment, limiting portfolio adjustments. Regulatory & Compliance Risks: Investments are subject to various federal, state, and local laws, including zoning, land use, and environmental controls. Compliance costs for environmental protection and human health/safety regulations can be high, with potential for liability for contamination. Failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could lead to inaccurate financial reporting, fraud, and regulatory sanctions.

Geopolitical & External Risks

Geopolitical Exposure: All revenue and assets are domestically derived and located. External Risks: Natural disasters (hurricanes, floods, severe storms, wildfires) and acts of terrorism could disrupt operations and reduce parking demand. Climate change may have long-term impacts on the business.

Innovation & Technology Leadership

Research & Development Focus: Core Technology Areas: Mobile Infrastructure Corporation is focused on integrating technology to enhance its asset management and pursue ancillary revenue opportunities. This includes exploring demand related to EV charging, solar energy, rideshare staging, autonomous vehicles, fleet management, 5G and other wireless technologies, and storage solutions.

Intellectual Property Portfolio: The filing does not provide material information regarding the Company's patent strategy, licensing programs (beyond a terminated outgoing software license), or IP litigation.

Technology Partnerships: The Company previously had a Software License and Development Agreement with an affiliate of Bombe Asset Management, Ltd., which ended in the second quarter of 2025.

Leadership & Governance

Executive Leadership Team

Leadership Continuity: The Company's ability to achieve its investment objectives is dependent on its management team. The loss of key personnel could materially and adversely affect the business, investment opportunities, and relationships with lenders and partners. Board Composition: Jeffrey B. Osher, a Board member, beneficially owns approximately 64.1% of the outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2025, giving him significant influence over stockholder matters, including Board elections and corporate transactions. The Company is a "controlled company" under Nasdaq rules, though it currently does not intend to leverage related exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. Conflicts of Interest: Ms. Hogue, Mr. Chavez, and Mr. Osher face potential conflicts of interest due to their positions and ownership interests in other entities (e.g., Bombe Asset Management, LLC, HS3, Harvest Small Cap, HSCP Master, NoStreet Capital LLC). Mr. Osher, as managing member of NoStreet Capital LLC, serves as the investment manager for the Lenders on the Company's Line of Credit.

Human Capital Strategy

Workforce Composition:

• Total Employees: 18 employees as of December 31, 2025.

Talent Management: Acquisition & Retention: The Company's key human capital management objectives are to attract, recruit, hire, develop, and promote a diverse talent pool to build a strong workforce. Employee Value Proposition: The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan with a discretionary match of 100% on the first 6% of eligible employee contributions, with immediate vesting.

Diversity & Development: The Company's human capital objectives include promoting a diverse bench of talent and developing its workforce.

Environmental & Social Impact

Environmental Commitments: Climate Strategy: Mobile Infrastructure Corporation considers Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues important for business and investment returns. The Company has implemented ESG-related initiatives, including responsible energy use (including renewable sources), supporting electrified vehicle adoption, promoting the long-lived nature of assets through maintenance, and responsible use of environmentally-friendly products and services.

Supply Chain Sustainability: The Company's ESG considerations include supplier engagement on ESG requirements and responsible sourcing practices.

Business Cyclicality & Seasonality

Demand Patterns: The Company's business is sensitive to economic conditions, with adverse impacts from reduced discretionary spending, business travel, and event attendance. Demand for parking facilities has been affected by the uneven return-to-work trends, particularly in urban centers with hybrid work models. Weather conditions and natural disasters can also disrupt operations and reduce demand.

Planning & Forecasting: The Company monitors asset performance using multiple metrics to measure rates, volumes, and utilization, aiming to identify the optimal mix of Transient and Contract Parkers to maximize revenue.

Regulatory Environment & Compliance

Regulatory Framework: The Company's investments and operations are subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including zoning, land use controls, and environmental controls related to air and water quality, noise pollution, and motor vehicle activity. Compliance with these regulations, and any future changes or stricter interpretations, may require material expenditures.

Legal Proceedings: The Company is exposed to claims and litigation in the normal course of business. In September 2024, a settlement was reached in a lawsuit against a subsidiary, MVP Fort Worth Taylor, LLC, resulting in a $0.3 million gain.

Tax Strategy & Considerations

Tax Profile: Mobile Infrastructure Corporation is taxed as a C corporation and is subject to federal income tax. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $97.8 billion in federal and state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. Of this, $87.2 billion (post-2017) carries forward indefinitely, subject to an 80% taxable income deduction limit, while $8.6 billion (pre-2018) begins to expire in 2036. A full valuation allowance has been recorded against deferred tax assets due to a history of taxable losses. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), enacted July 4, 2025, did not materially impact the Company's effective tax rate or cash flows in the current fiscal year.

Insurance & Risk Transfer

Risk Management Framework: The Company's real properties are exposed to casualty losses from catastrophic events (e.g., wars, terrorism, natural disasters) that may be uninsurable or subject to significant limitations. The Company may need to provide financial assurances or self-insurance for potential losses. The Company uses an interest rate swap to manage interest rate exposure, which is its only derivative instrument.
