EROAD delivers strong overall growth for Q2 of FY20
Transport technology services company EROAD today released its quarterly update for the three

encouraging overall pipeline that will continue to deliver solid growth. Second quarter highlights
include:
• 28% annualised growth in total contracted units reflecting growth across all EROAD’s
markets;
• Strong annualised growth of 62% in North America reflects the majority of deployment to its
largest two enterprise customers.

* Total Contracted Units is a non-GAAP measure used by EROAD which represents the total units subject to a customer contract and includes both Units on Depot and
units pending instalment.
EROAD continues to see good growth in New Zealand as existing customers expand the
implementation of EROAD technology in their fleets as well as continuing growth in new customers.
Over the quarter, New Zealand grew 4%, in line with the company’s expectations, with consistent
pricing, attracting both enterprise and small to medium businesses.
The North American market for EROAD delivered strongly with Total Contracted Units up 54% on
Q2FY19. Within this quarter, deployments were completed for EROAD’s largest enterprise customer
(c 5,500 units). Additionally, following the signing of a further large enterprise customer in June,
EROAD’s investment in scalable systems and processes enabled installation of over 90% of the

contracted units (c 1,650) for that customer within eight weeks. The run rate for small to medium
business customers has to date been below EROAD’s expectations. Additionally, EROAD has not
seen the anticipated level of increase in sales pipeline ahead of the AOBRD to ELD mandate deadline
at the end of December 2019.
EROAD continued to build its brand presence in the Australian market, with steady growth of 10% in
the quarter reflecting gains in the small-to-medium businesses sector. While steady, the small-to-
medium business run rate is below EROAD’s expectations. However, the pipeline of enterprise
customers (with longer sales lead times) remains encouraging and above original expectations.
EROAD is becoming a global company with expanding offshore operations and revenues as well as
significant growth aspirations.
Following the re-launch of our Australian business and increasing interest from Australian and other
international investors, the Board is considering seeking an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing, to facilitate
greater alignment between the Company’s business operations and investor base. A decision
regarding a secondary listing is expected in early 2020. EROAD remains committed to maintaining an
NZX listing.

collected using EROAD technology. By March 2019, this had delivered NZ$2.5B to NZTA for the
sustainability of the NZ transport network. In the USA, EROAD introduced the first electronic Weight
