Quarterly Revenues Up 8 Percent Sequentially; Significant Customer Wins Announced During Quarter
FREMONT, Calif. – October 26, 2006 – @Road, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARDI), a global provider of next-generation solutions for Mobile Resource Management (MRM), today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $25.2 million, an 8% sequential growth compared to $23.2 million for the second quarter of 2006. Hosted revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $21.2 million, and licensed revenues for the third quarter of 2006 were $4.0 million. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2006 was $3.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, total revenues were $73.1 million, an 11% increase compared to $65.6 million for the same period in 2005. Hosted revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $61.8 million, and licensed revenues for the same nine months were $11.3 million. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first nine months of 2006 was $10.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share.
“@Road’s revenue for the third quarter of 2006 was above our target as we continued to monetize our sales orders. We are pleased that the momentum we saw during the first half of the year in sales orders continued into the third quarter,” said Krish Panu, president and CEO of @Road. “We have expanded our market footprint during the quarter as we are now offering our solutions in the UK and in Australia, as well as in North America. We also intend to leverage sales alliances which have the potential to help accelerate adoption of MRM solutions.”
Non-GAAP earnings before tax for the third quarter of 2006 was $2.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. Non-GAAP earnings before tax is calculated by adjusting GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the impacts of stock-based compensation of $1.0 million, intangibles amortization expense of $1.0 million, an expense for the change in the value of the derivative instrument liability of $3.0 million, a benefit from income taxes of $0.2 million, and depreciation expense of $0.8 million.
Non-GAAP earnings before tax for the first nine months of 2006 was $1.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement @Road’s consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, @Road provides certain non-GAAP measures of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP earnings before tax and non-GAAP earnings before tax per diluted share.
@Road’s reference to these non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared under current accounting standards, but are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results.
These non-GAAP measures are provided to enhance investors’ overall understanding of @Road’s current financial performance and provide further information for comparative purposes due to the adoption of the new accounting standard FAS 123(R) during the first quarter of 2006.
Specifically, @Road believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that may not be indicative of its core operating results and business outlook. In addition, @Road believes the non-GAAP measures that exclude stock-based compensation enhance the comparability of results against prior periods. Reconciliation to the nearest GAAP measure of all non-GAAP measures included in this press release can be found in the financial tables included below in this press release.
