Transport technology services company EROAD today released its quarterly update for the three

EROAD has continued to build on its good start to this financial year. In addition, the company has an

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.

About EROAD

• EROAD believes every community deserves safer roads that can be sustainably funded. This is why

EROAD develops technology solutions (products and services) that manage vehicle fleets, support

regulatory compliance, improve driver safety and reduce the costs associated with driving. EROAD

also provides valuable insights and data analytics to universities, government agencies and others

who research, trial and evaluate future transport networks. This data enables those who use the

roads to influence the design, management and funding of future transport networks.

• EROAD launched with the purpose of modernizing New Zealand’s paper-based road user charging

system. By 2009 EROAD had introduced the world’s first nationwide electronic road user charging

system and now around 46% of collected heavy vehicle road user charges in New Zealand are being

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

Mile Tax service (2014) and the first independently verified Electronic Logging Device service (2017).

• EROAD (ERD) is listed on the NZX, and employs over 280 staff located across NZ, Australia and

North America.
