Second Quarter 2006 Revenues Increase 12% Over Second Quarter 2005
FREMONT, Calif. – July 27, 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 June 30, 2006.
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2006 were $23.2 million, a 12% increase compared to $20.6 million for the second quarter of 2005. Hosted revenues for the second quarter of 2006 were $19.6 million, and licensed revenues for the second quarter of 2006 were $3.6 million. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter of 2006 was $2.9 million, or $0.05 per diluted share.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, total revenues were $47.9 million, an 18% increase compared to $40.6 million for the same period in 2005. Hosted revenues for the first six months were $40.6 million, and licensed revenues for the first six months were $7.3 million. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first six months of 2006 was $5.6 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.
“New sales orders for the second quarter were higher than expected, and represent the second highest level of orders in any quarter in the company’s history. We believe that our first half sales orders are tracking ahead of where we need to be to meet our 2006 subscriber goals,” said Krish Panu, president and CEO of @Road. “We also believe the adoption of MRM solutions is beginning to accelerate and that we are positioned to take advantage of this expanding opportunity.”
Non-GAAP loss before tax for the second quarter of 2006 was $1.1 million, or $0.02 per diluted share. Non-GAAP loss before tax is calculated by adjusting GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the impacts of stock-based compensation of $1.2 million, intangibles amortization expense of $1.0 million, a benefit for the change in the value of the derivative instrument liability of $0.1 million, a benefit from income taxes of $1.0 million, and depreciation expense of $0.8 million. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the GAAP financial measures and presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures can be found in the Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures, included below in this press release.

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 loss before tax and non-GAAP loss 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 information 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.

@Road will host a teleconference Thursday, July 27, commencing at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time, to discuss the second quarter financial results.
