Business
Share of revenueOwned parking garages, parking lots, and other parking structures operated for transient and contract parking demand.
Parking assets operated under management contracts where third-party operators run day-to-day activity.
Small amounts of adjacent commercial real estate leased near parking assets.
Non-parking income such as billboard or other facility-related revenue streams.
Customers
The company serves drivers and parking users in dense U.S. metro areas, with demand tied to commerce, events, government, hospitality, and multifamily central business districts. A meaningful portion of demand comes from contract parkers and recurring users, while transient parkers support higher-yield daily and hourly revenue. Its operator partners are also critical customers in an operational sense, since they manage the facilities and execute pricing and utilization strategies.
Drivers paying for short-duration parking at garages and lots; important for rate optimization and RevPAS growth.
Monthly or reserved users who provide recurring occupancy and more predictable cash flow.
Customers attending concerts, sports, and entertainment venues that create peak parking demand.
Parking demand tied to offices, public buildings, and institutional campuses in urban markets.
Hotel guests and residents/visitors in central business districts who support steady utilization.
Strategy
The company is focused on improving parking revenue by optimizing the mix of transient and contract parkers, raising RevPAS, and using local operator insights to adjust pricing. It is also converting more assets to management contracts, which should improve expense control, revenue visibility, and alignment with operators while it selectively acquires and disposes of properties.
Higher transient and contract optimization should lift revenue per stall and portfolio cash flow.
Management contracts improve expense transparency, revenue linearity, and operator alignment.
Selective acquisitions and non-core dispositions aim to improve portfolio quality and returns.
Geography
Mobile Infrastructure Corp operates entirely in the United States and concentrates on the top 50 U.S. MSAs, with assets in 19 markets as of year-end 2025. Its portfolio is intentionally urban and demand-driven, with properties near downtown cores, government centers, venues, hotels, and multifamily districts. Geography matters because parking demand is highly local and sensitive to commuting patterns, event activity, and return-to-office trends.
Risks
The business is exposed to cyclical and structural parking demand risk, especially in urban markets affected by hybrid work, ride-sharing, transit adoption, and congestion pricing. It also relies heavily on third-party operators, and concentration with a small number of operators can materially affect operating performance, while leverage and refinancing needs add financial risk.

Accounting
Judgemental itemsThe move away from lease-based payments changes when revenue is recognized and how stable it appears quarter to quarter.
Impact: Affects reported revenue trend and comparability across periods
Parking properties are tested for triggering events using NOI and cash flow assumptions, which can lead to write-downs.
Impact: Can materially reduce earnings and asset carrying values
RevPAS is used to evaluate performance but excludes billboard, commercial rent, and lease-agreement revenue.
Impact: Important for operating analysis but not a substitute for GAAP revenue
Loan repayment, refinancing, and related fees affect financing cash flows and interest-related presentation.
Impact: Can influence leverage, liquidity, and period expenses
