Market Release 22 November 2019

EROAD delivers another period of strong growth in H1 of FY20

Transport technology services company EROAD (ERD.NZX) today released its financial results for the

first half of the 2020 financial year.

All numbers relate to the six months ended 30 September 2019 and comparisons relate to the six

months ended 30 September 2018.

Key highlights:

• Revenue increased 35% to $38.5m with strong contributions from the New Zealand and

North American markets

• Achieved 27% annualised growth in new contracted units during the first half of the year

• EBITDA increased 92% to $11.9m and reported loss after tax improved by 97% to $106.4k

• Completed deployment for two large enterprise customers in North America

• Continued investment into R&D and new business systems to support future growth and

scalability

EROAD is pleased to have delivered a strong first half performance, driven by continued solid growth

in contracted unit numbers, high retention rates and a disciplined and targeted investment strategy.

The first half saw a revenue increase of 35% to $38.5m, up from $28.5m in the first half of the prior

financial year. Average Revenue per Unit (ARPU) increased from $56.00 to $57.60 and Future

Contracted Income increased by 14% to $130.9m from $115.1m.

“EROAD delivered a 92% increase in EBITDA and a 97% improvement in reported after-tax loss over

the period demonstrating our increasing scale and improving operating leverage. At the same time,

we continued investing significantly in developing new markets and products which will help realise

the growth potential of EROAD.” said Steven Newman, Chief Executive Officer.

"Our customer value proposition has enabled us to capitalise on our large addressable market,

growing our contracted units by an annualised growth rate of 27%. The quality of our products and

services is reflected in a consistently high asset retention rate of 94.9%.”

EROAD Chair Graham Stuart says: “The Board is pleased to see EROAD deliver yet another period of

strong growth. In only six months, EROAD has added 12,990 new contracted units across New

Zealand, North America and Australia, renewed 355 customers in New Zealand and Australia of

which 147 upgraded to EHubo2, launched four new SaaS products and upgraded a range of existing

products. We continued to demonstrate industry leading system up-time of 99.9% and to invest

heavily in our reliability, scalability, quality and growth. The company is well positioned as we head

towards our next major goal of 250,000+ contracted units.”






New Zealand

The New Zealand business continues to be a growing success, contributing strongly to the Group

result and providing a launchpad and cashflow for market expansion and product development.

Revenue for New Zealand increased by 20% to $25.6m from $21.3m and EBITDA increased by 18% to

$16.2m from $13.7m in the comparable period. Annualised contracted unit growth for the period

was 16%, in line with the company’s expectations. This was achieved through the execution of

EROAD’s strategy of expanding the implementation of its technology within existing customer fleets,

as well as signing up new customers.

North America

The North American business delivered strong growth in contracted units of 58% and is now larger

than what the global EROAD business was at the time it listed on the NZX in 2014. This significant

growth in contracted units included the completed deployment for EROAD’s largest enterprise

customer (5,500 units). Following the signing of a further large enterprise account in June, EROAD’s

investment in scalable systems and processes enabled installation of all 1,650 contracted units

within a nine week period.

The run rate for small to medium business customers during the first half has been below EROAD’s

expectations. Additionally, EROAD has not seen the anticipated level of increase in sales pipeline

ahead of the AOBRD (Automatic On-Board Recording Device) to ELD (Electronic logging device)

mandate deadline at the end of December 2019.

Pleasingly, the strong enterprise sales growth in this market resulted in revenue increasing by 72% to

$11.9m from $6.9m and EBITDA increased period on period to $3.2m from $(0.4)m.

Australia

EROAD continued to build its brand presence in the Australian market, with steady annualised

growth in contracted units of 26% in HY19 reflecting gains in the small-to-medium businesses

segment. The small-to-medium business run rate remains steady but is below EROAD’s expectations.

The pipeline of enterprise customers (with longer sales lead times) remains encouraging and above

original expectations.

Revenue remained flat at $0.3m, while EBITDA fell to $(0.8)m from $(0.2)m in the previous period,

as EROAD continued to invest in sales and marketing activity in this new market to support future

growth.

Extending the platform and scaling for growth

EROAD continues to see substantial growth opportunities across all the markets it operates in, and

accordingly, continues to prioritise investment in research and development activity to capitalise on

this potential growth. In the half year to 30 September 2019, a total of $8.2m was invested in

research and development, of which $5.0m was capitalised and $3.2m of previously capitalised

research and development was expensed/amortised. In-line with our expectations, the total amount

invested in research and development represented 21% of revenue.

Over the period, in addition to several upgrades to our SaaS offering for customers, we launched

four new SaaS products – Hours of Service Recap and the Texas Intrastate Rule Set in North America,

Fuel Tax Credits in Australia and My EROAD Dashboard for both New Zealand and Australia. These

further enhance EROAD’s customer value proposition.





Over the last nine months we have developed EROAD Where to create a cost disruptive solution to

asset tracking versus IOT trackers. This product was developed together with our customers and

utilises a unique mesh network that only EROAD can deliver in New Zealand of Ehubo2 devices, and

apps on users mobile devices, to locate small bluetooth tags, that have been designed and

manufactured locally and are robust enough for any environment. At just $30 per EROAD Where tag,

and $5 per month per tag for access to the dedicated EROAD Where Asset Management application,

the game changing price point delivers a disruptive asset tracking solution to a large addressable

market.

In addition, EROAD invested $3.3m of capital expenditure in its new generation of business systems

to support future growth and scalability.

Funding EROAD’s growth

In the short term, EROAD is increasing the limits for its debt facilities to fund upfront hardware and

installation costs associated with continuing growth. Together with its strengthening operating cash

inflows, this will fund EROAD’s organic growth across its three markets. In the last six months,

EROAD also utilised $6m of the cash raised from the December 2017 equity raise to progress

investments in new generation business systems, key research and development projects and other

strategic initiatives including its market re-entry into Australia. Going forward, EROAD anticipates

any inorganic growth of scale will be funded through new equity issuances.

Recognition

The innovation and significant difference we are making to road safety was acknowledged

internationally this week by the International Road Federation, who awarded EROAD the 2019

Global Road Achievement Award for Technology, Equipment and Manufacturing.

EROAD also received the 2019 NZ Exporter of the Year (Large Company) Award, and we appeared

once again on the Deloitte Fast 50 Master of Growth Index.

Further accolades were gained through EROAD being named a finalist in the Australasian Brake Fleet

Safety Awards (Fleet Safety product), The NZ Hi-Tech Awards (for both Company of the Year and

Innovation) and the NZTE International Business Awards for Best Large Company.

Outlook

EROAD’s encouraging pipeline is anticipated to deliver solid organic growth for the remainder of the

financial year and beyond.

Consistent, solid growth is expected in the New Zealand business for the second half of the financial

year. North America is now an established market for EROAD and contributing strongly to EBITDA.

Following the strong growth in the first half with the onboarding of two large enterprise customers,

further growth in the second half is expected to be at a reduced rate and will predominantly come

from the small to medium customer run rate business. In Australia, it is anticipated that some of

the strong enterprise pipeline will be converted prior to the end of FY20 in addition to steady gains

in the small to medium customer run rate business.

In the second half of FY20 EROAD will go live with its new generation of business systems, giving an

improved customer experience and increased capability to scale the business. This will deliver

further operating leverage into FY21. 





Beyond FY20 the growth potential is significant for EROAD. While the New Zealand business is

market leading, there is still significant room to expand our customer base and service offering. We

expect the North American growth to continue through building our brand presence, the 2017 ELD

mandate contract roll-offs and the sunset of 3G technology. Our more recent expansion into

Australia has great potential and is expected to deliver positive EBITDA within the next 3-4 years at

lower sales levels than was required for North America, reflecting its lower cost to serve through the

leverage of EROAD’s New Zealand based customer support team.


Potential ASX listing


EROAD is becoming a global company with expanding offshore operations, revenues and significant

growth aspirations. Following the re-launch of our Australian business and increasing interest from

Australian and other international investors, the Board announced in October that it is considering

seeking an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing to facilitate greater alignment between the EROAD’s business

operations and investor base. A decision regarding a secondary listing is expected in early 2020.

EROAD currently remains committed to maintaining an NZX listing.

Non-GAAP Measures

EROAD has used non-GAAP measures when discussing financial performance in this document. The

directors and management believe that these measures provide useful information as they are used

internally to evaluate performance of business units, to establish operational goals and to allocate

resources.

Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS (New Zealand International

Financial Reporting Standards) and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-GAAP measures

reported in this document may not be comparable with those that other companies report and

should not be viewed in isolation or considered as a substitute for measures reported by EROAD in

accordance with NZ IFRS. The non-GAAP measures EROAD has used above are Average Revenue per

Unit, EBITDA and Future Contracted Income. The definitions of these can be found in the EROAD

Investor Presentation for H1 20 Glossary on pages 31 and 32.


About EROAD

EROAD believes every community deserves safer, more productive roads. 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 almost 300 staff located across NZ, Australia and

North America.

REPORT 2020EROAD INTERIM

EROAD INTERIM REPORT 20202
Graham Stewart

Chairman

Dear Shareholder

We are pleased to inform you that EROAD has

delivered yet another period of strong growth,

driven by continued solid growth in contracted

unit numbers, excellent retention rates and a

disciplined and targeted investment strategy.

Working towards our purpose of safer, more productive roads, in the first half

of the 2020 financial year we added 12,990 new contracted units across New

Zealand, North America and Australia. In doing so, in May 2019, we moved

past a major milestone of 100,000 contracted units in our customer’s vehicles.

We successfully renewed 355 New Zealand and Australian customers

with 4,564 contracted units. 147 of those customers upgraded to Ehubo2

amounting to 1,766 contracted units upgrading from Ehubo1 to Ehubo2.

We launched four new SaaS (Software as a Service) products and upgraded

a range of existing products. We continued to demonstrate industry leading

system up-time of 99.99% while continuing to invest in the reliability,

scalability and quality of our platform and services to enable the next phase

of growth. We are well positioned to head towards our next major goal of

250,000+ contracted units.

Across all our markets, our customers are increasingly more focused on using

telematics to ensure the safety of their employees as well as realising the

additional benefits these bring including improved asset maintenance and

tracking of assets and reduced emissions through more optimised routing.

This focus is aligned with EROAD’s customer value proposition resulting

in annualised growth of 27% in our contracted unit numbers. The quality

of these products and services are reflected in our consistently high asset

retention rate of 94.9%.

EROAD INTERIM REPORT 20203
FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019

The first half of the 2020 financial year saw revenue increase by 35% to

$38.5m, with Average Revenue per Unit (ARPU) also increasing from $56.00

to $57.60. This contributed to a 92% increase in earnings before interest, tax,

depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) to $11.9m and a consequential 97%

improvement in reported after-tax loss, with only a small $106.4k loss for the

period.

In terms of future earnings, our future contracted income – the value of future

revenue from existing contracted units – increased by 14% to $130.9m.

We continued our significant investment in developing new markets and

products to capture the substantial growth we see for the business. This

included investing $8.2m in research and development activities as well as

$3.3m of capital expenditure to implement new business systems that will

enable EROAD to scale up to deliver this growth efficiently. We have also

invested in on-the-ground sales capability in Australia and commenced

increased marketing activity following our re-launch last year. Collectively,

these investments will contribute to our future growth.

The New Zealand business continues to be a growing success, contributing

strongly to the Group result and providing a launchpad and cashflow for

market expansion and product development. Revenue for New Zealand

increased by 20% to $25.6m and EBITDA increased by 18% to $16.2m.

Annualised new contracted unit growth in the period was 16%, in-line with our

expectations. We achieved this growth through the execution of our strategy

of expanding the implementation of EROAD technology within existing

customer fleets as well as signing new customers.

The North American business delivered strong annualised contracted unit

growth of 58% and is now a larger business than the global EROAD business

at the time it listed on the NZX in 2014. This significant growth in contracted

units included the completed deployment for EROAD’s largest enterprise

customer of approximately 5,500 units. Following the signing of a further

large enterprise account in June, EROAD’s investment in scalable systems

and processes enabled the installation of all 1,650 contracted units for that

customer within a nine-week period.

The run rate for small-to-medium business customers during the first half

has been below our expectations. We have not seen the anticipated level of

increase in sales pipeline ahead of the significant US regulatory change, the

AOBRD (Automatic On-Board Recording Device) to ELD (Electronic Logging

Device) mandate deadline, that comes into effect at the end of December

2019. Pleasingly, strong growth in enterprise sales in this market resulted in

revenue increasing by 72% to $11.9m and EBITDA increased period on period

from $(0.4)m to $3.2m.

We continued to build our brand presence in the Australian market, with

steady annualised growth in contracted units of 26% reflecting gains in the

small-to-medium businesses sector. The small-to-medium business run rate is

steady but below EROAD’s expectations. However, the pipeline of enterprise

customers (with longer sales lead times) remains encouraging and above

original expectations.

Revenue for the Australian business remained flat at $0.3m, while EBITDA

reduced from $(0.2)m to $(0.8)m, as EROAD continued to invest into this

new market to support future growth by completing the build-out of its field

sales team and increasing marketing activity.

EXTENDING THE PLATFORM AND SCALING FOR GROWTH

We continue to see substantial future growth opportunities across all the

markets we operate in, and for that reason, continue to prioritise investment

in research and development activity to capitalise on that growth potential. In

the half year to 30 September 2019, a total of $8.2m was invested in research

and development. Of this amount, $5.0m was capitalised and $3.2m of

previously capitalised research and development was expensed/amortised.

The total amount invested in research and development represented 21% of

revenue, in-line with our expectations.

Around 40% of EROAD’s investment in research and development is spent on

enhancing the platform with 60% spent on new and enhanced SaaS products

for customers. During HY20 this investment continued to enhance our

off ering to drive growth in customer numbers, retention rates and increase

average revenue per customer.

Over the fi rst half of the fi nancial year, we launched four new SaaS features

and a number of upgrades. For North America, we integrated the Texas

Intrastate ruleset into our system. Drivers of fl eets domiciled in Texas can now

select this ruleset from within their truck, enabling them to view and track

their driving hours in line with Texas regulations. We also upgraded our Hours

of Service product, extending customer confi dence ahead of the AOBRD to

ELD transition deadline in December 2019. In Australia, we launched our Fuel

Tax Credit (FTC) service which has achieved an Australian Tax Offi ce class

ruling. This automates FTC claims through using our advanced GPS-tracking

technology to map real-time locational and fuel usage data (on and off -road).

We launched MyEROAD Dashboard for the NZ market, providing a mobile-

friendly consolidation of key fl eet metrics onto a single view dashboard.

Over the last nine months we have developed EROAD Where to provide

customers with a cost eff ective solution for keeping track of their assets.

For customers with many or low cost assets, using 3G trackers is a cost

prohibitive undertaking. EROAD Where provides an alternative. Our unique

Mesh network (which only EROAD can create in New Zealand) is made up

of Ehubo Gen 2 units and the EROAD Where App on mobile phones. When

paired with Low energy Bluetooth® EROAD Where Tags (designed and built

in New Zealand) then there is a viable low-cost alternative that makes asset

tracking an aff ordable proposition. At just $30 per EROAD Where tag, and

$5 per month per tag for access to the dedicated EROAD Where Asset

Management application, the game changing price point delivers a disruptive

asset tracking solution to a large addressable market. IOT trackers claim to

save time, reduce costs, and help businesses perform better. EROAD Where

does that too, but at a fraction of the cost.

RECOGNITION

The innovation and signifi cant diff erence we are making to road safety was

acknowledged internationally this week by the International Road Federation,

who awarded EROAD the 2019 Global Road Achievement Award for

Technology, Equipment and Manufacturing.

EROAD also received the 2019 NZ Exporter of the Year (Large Company), and

we have appeared once again on the Deloitte Fast 50 Master of Growth Index.

Further accolades included EROAD being named a fi nalist in the Australasian

Brake Fleet Safety Awards (Fleet Safety product), The NZ Hi-Tech Awards

(for both Company of the Year and Innovation) and the NZTE International

Business Awards for Best Large Company.

CHOOSING TO GROW

Having achieved the critical milestone of 100,000 contracted units in May, we

are now aiming for our next major milestone of 250,000+ contracted units.

The investment to scale for the next phase of our growth positions us well

and we consider there are many exciting opportunities ahead. While organic

expansion will continue to play an important role in EROAD’s growth, we

are also targeting opportunities to acquire complementary businesses to

accelerate our growth trajectory.

Our cashfl ow and bank funding facilities will be deployed to capture organic

growth opportunities. We will build acquisition capability during the second

half of the year, so we are ready to look to acquire complementary businesses

in FY21 as the right opportunities are identifi ed.

EROAD is becoming a global company with expanding off shore operations

and revenues as well as signifi cant growth aspirations. Following the

re-launch of our Australian business and increasing interest from Australian

and other international investors in October, the Board announced it is

considering seeking an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing to facilitate greater

alignment between EROAD’s business operations and investor base. A

decision regarding a secondary listing is expected in early 2020. EROAD

currently remains committed to maintaining an NZX listing.

BOARD UPDATE

Your Board remains focussed on performance, compliance and on the big

picture. As you are aware, the Board has been going through a period of

renewal to ensure we have the right expertise to support the management

team in creating shareholder value. Over the past six months we have

been undertaking an extensive search to appoint a North American based

director with experience in North American and international markets. It is

also anticipated that we will undertake a search in the fi rst half of 2020 for a

director with experience in marketing, innovation, fi nance and risk.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

In the short term, we are increasing the limits for our debt facilities to fund

upfront hardware and installation costs associated with continuing growth.

Together with our strengthening operating cash infl ows, this will fund our

organic growth across the three markets. In the last six months, we have

also utilised $6m of the cash raised from the December 2017 equity raise to

progress investments in new generation business systems, key research and

development projects and other strategic initiatives including our market

re-entry into Australia. Going forward we anticipate any inorganic growth of

scale will be funded through new equity issuances.

We continue to review the appropriateness of our capital structure and

funding capacity, including the role for equity and debt fi nancing of both

organic growth and acquisition opportunities.

EROAD is focused on capturing the many growth opportunities we see

ahead. While we continue to see opportunity to grow shareholder value we

will invest for growth as opposed to commence dividend payments.

GLOBAL ROAD ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

EROAD INTERIM REPORT 20206
OUTLOOK

EROAD has an encouraging overall pipeline that will continue to deliver solid

organic growth for the remainder of the fi nancial year and beyond.

Consistent, solid growth is expected in the New Zealand business for

the remainder of the fi nancial year. North America is now an established

market for EROAD, contributing strongly to EBITDA in FY20. Following the

strong growth in the fi rst half with the on-boarding of two large enterprise

customers, further growth in the second half is expected to be at a reduced

rate and predominantly come from the small-to-medium customer run rate

business. In Australia, it is anticipated that some of the strong enterprise

pipeline will be converted prior to the end of FY20 in addition to continuing

steady gains in the small-to-medium customer run rate business. In the

second half of FY20 EROAD will go live with its new generation of business

systems, giving an improved customer experience and increased capability to

scale the business. This will deliver further operating leverage into FY21.

Beyond FY20 the growth potential is signifi cant for EROAD. While our New

Zealand business is market leading, there is still signifi cant room to expand

our customer base and service off ering. We expect North America growth

to continue benefi tting from our building brand presence, the 2017 ELD

mandate contract roll-off s and the sunset of 3G technology. We consider

our more recent expansion into Australia has great potential and expect to

deliver positive EBITDA within the next 3-4 years at lower sales levels than

was required for North America, refl ecting its lower cost to serve through the

leverage of our New Zealand based customer support team.

We are confi dent and ambitious about the future prospects for EROAD and

we look forward to updating you on our progress in May with the release of

our FY20 fi nancial results.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019

NOTE 1 • SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The condensed consolidated financial statements of EROAD Limited (EROAD), together with its subsidaries (the "Group"), as at and

for the six months ended 30 September 2019, have been prepared in accordance with the New Zealand equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34: "Interim Financial Reporting" (NZ IAS 34), and Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand

(NZ GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019. The Group

is a profit oriented entity.

EROAD is a company domiciled in New Zealand registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock

Exchange (NZX) Main Board. The Company is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

and the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of that Act and the Financial Reporting Act

2013. The Group provides electronic on-board units and software as a service to the transport industry.

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the Group are for the period ended 30 September 2019. The financial

statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 22 November 2019 and are unaudited.

The accounting policies below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.

Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance with IFRS

The condensed consolidated financial statements comprise the following: condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive

income, condensed consolidated statement of financial position, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity,

condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, and accounting policies and notes to the condensed consolidated financial

statements contained on pages 11 to 30.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34, and should be read in

conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2019 ('last annual

financial statements'). These do not include all of the information required for a complete set of NZ IFRS financial statements.

However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding

of changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last financial statement, including key estimates and

judgements.

Basis of measurement

The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments carried at fair value.

Presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000's)

Set out above is the disaggregation of the Group's revenue from contracts with customers. The disaggregation reflects the nature,

amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Specifically, software as a service

(SaaS) revenue represents revenue earned from customer contracts for the sale or rental of hardware, installation services and

provision of software services. Transaction fee revenue relates to the collection of Road User Charges (RUC) fees.

NOTE 2 • REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS (continued)

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations

The below table represents the revenue allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at the

period end. The revenue amounts yet to be recognised under non-cancellable contract agreements at 30 September are expected

to be recognised by EROAD based on the time bands disclosed below.

The Group reports the Non-GAAP measure, Future Contracted Income. The definition of Future Contracted Income includes all

future hardware and SaaS cash inflows relating to income under non-cancellable long-term agreements. The disclosure above aligns

with the Future Contracted Income reported by the Group.

Software as a service revenue

The Group generates revenue through the sale of hardware assets, rental of hardware assets, installation of hardware assets and

provision of software services as part of contracts with customers as part of a bundled package. These hardware units enable

customers to access the software platform offered by the Group. The transaction involving hardware and accessories does not convey

a distinct good or service. The sale does not transfer control to the customer as the Group provides a significant service of integrating

the software service to produce a combined output. The sale of the hardware, accessories and software service are referred to as SaaS

revenue, which is recognised on a straight line basis over the contract period. There are no variable consideration terms within the

contracts.

A contract liability is recognised where consideration is received in advance of the completion of associated performance obligations.

The contract liability is derecognised over time. As a result there is a financing component which the Group recognises as a finance cost

when consideration is received in advance.

The Group offers installation services as part of a number of promises to transfer goods and services within each contract. Installation

services do not convey a distinct good or service and therefore are not a separate performance obligation as the installation is a set-up

activity that does not provide the customer a direct benefit other than access to the software services. As a result, the installation

service is considered as part of the single performance obligation; referred to as SaaS revenue, which includes the software service and

hardware sale or rental for which the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the service. Where installation

revenue is received in advance of satisfying the performance obligation, a contract liability is recognised. The contract liability is

derecognised over time evenly over the period of the contract as the customer derives the benefit evenly from the services provided

over the contract period. The majority of contracts are for 3 years and can be for a term of up to 5 years. As a result there is a financing

component which the Group recognises as a finance cost when consideration is received in advance.

Transaction fees

When the Group acts in the capacity of an agent rather than as the principal in a transaction, the revenue recognised is the net

amount of commission made by the Group.

Capitalised contract fulfillment costs

The Group capitalises incremental costs of fulfilling customer contracts, typically distribution and installation costs. Contract

fulfillment costs are amortised evenly over the period of the contract. The majority of contracts are for 3 years and can be for a

term of up to 5 years.

Capitalised contract acquisition costs

The Group has applied a policy of capitalising only costs that are incremental in obtaining contracts with customers, typically

sales commissions. Contract acquisition costs are amortised evenly over the period of the contract. The majority of contracts are

for 3 years and can be for a term of up to 5 years.

Included in the Hardware Assets is equipment under construction of $7,654 (31 March 2019: $6,997).

Items of plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes the purchase

consideration, and those costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use.

Where an item of plant and equipment is disposed of, the gain or loss recognised in the statement of comprehensive income is calculated

as the difference between the net sales price and the carrying amount of the asset.

Subsequent costs

The Group recognises in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an

item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the item will flow to the Group

and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as an

expense in the period they are incurred.

EROAD INTERIM REPORT 2020 • FINANCIAL STATEMENTS26
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 9 • INTANGIBLE ASSETS (continued)

The useful lives of the Group's Intangible Assets are assessed to be finite. Assets with finite lives are amortised over their

useful lives and tested for impairment whenever there are indications that the assets may be impaired. Where an indicator

of impairment exists the Group makes a formal assessment of the recoverable amount. Where the carrying value of an asset

exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. The recoverable

amount is the greater of fair value less costs to sell the assets value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are

grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

Research and Development

Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new technical knowledge and understanding, is

recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred.

Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes.

Development expenditure is capitalised only if development costs can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically

and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to

complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour

and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is

recognised in the statement of comprehensive income when incurred.

Capitalised development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets

Other intangibles assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated

amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is only capitalised when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which

is relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in the statement

of comprehensive income when incurred.

Amortisation

Amortisation is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of

intangible asset. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Patents10 to 20 years

Development Hardware & Platform7 to 15 years

Development Products5 to 10 years

Software5 to 7 years

NOTE 10 • CONTRACT LIABILITIES

The group enters into contracts with customers for the provision of software services over a contracted period. As stated in the

accounting policies, this revenue is recognised over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit

of the service. The Group has determined that the benefit of the services provided is consumed evenly over the period of the

contract, and thus the performance obligations are satisfied evenly over the period. Where the Group receives a portion of the

transaction price of a contract in advance, this is recognised as a contract liability and released over the contract period as the

Group satisfies its performance obligations.

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the

extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or

substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous periods. Current tax payable

also includes any tax liability arising from the declaration of dividends.

EROAD INTERIM REPORT 2020 • FINANCIAL STATEMENTS28
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 11 • INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued)

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial

reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be

applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the

reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they

relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to

settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.

A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is

probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each

reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

NOTE 12 • BORROWINGS (continued)

On 3 July 2017, in order to support funding requirements in connection with the Group’s growth and to manage the related working

capital requirements, the Company entered into a Multi-Option Credit Facility Agreement with the Bank of New Zealand (BNZ). The

agreement was subsequently amended and restated in December 2017 and October 2018. At 30 September 2019, EROAD had the

following facilities in place:

$5,250,000 (NZD) Term Loan Facility A – to restructure existing term facilities. The Term Loan has a term of 24 months from the

October refinance date, with the facility having a maturity date in October 2020. The interest rate is variable based on the 3-month

BKBM bid plus a margin of 3.10%. Principal and interest payments are made quarterly in line with a 30 month repayment profile.

$5,998,480 (NZD) Term Loan Facility B – used to restructure the Outstanding Amount under the Committed Cash Advances Facility

as at the First Amendment Date in December 2017. The Term Loan has a term of 24 months from the October 2018 refinance date, with

the facility having a maturity date in October 2020. The interest rate is variable based on the 3-month BKBM bid plus a margin of 3.10%.

Principal and interest payments are made quarterly in line with a 33 month repayment profile.

$2,182,057 (USD) Term Loan Facility B – used to restructure the Outstanding Amount under the Committed Cash Advances Facility as

at the First Amendment Date in December 2017. The Term Loan has a term of 24 months from the October 2018 refinance date, with

the facility having a maturity date in October 2020. The interest rate is variable based on the 3-month US LIBOR plus a margin of 3.10%.

Principal and interest payments are made quarterly in line with a 33 month repayment profile.

$12,966,043 (NZD) Term Loan Facility E – used to restructure the Outstanding Amount under the Committed Cash Advances Facility as

at the Second Amendment Date in October 2018. The Term Loan has a term of 24 months from the October 2018 refinance date, with

the facility having a maturity date in October 2020. The interest rate is variable based on the 3-month BKBM bid plus a margin of 3.10%.

Principal and interest payments are made quarterly in line with a 33 month repayment profile.

$3,264,184 (USD) Term Loan Facility E – used to restructure the Outstanding Amount under the Committed Cash Advances Facility as

at the Second Amendment Date in October 2018. The Term Loan has a term of 24 months from the October 2018 refinance date, with

the facility having a maturity date in October 2020. The interest rate is variable based on the 3-month US LIBOR plus a margin of 3.10%.

Principal and interest payments are made quarterly in line with a 33 month repayment profile.

$20,000,000 (NZD) Committed Cash Advance Facility – to finance the up-front costs in connection with securing Future Contracted

Income. The Committed Cash Advance Facility has a 24 month term from the October 2018 refinance date, with the facility having a

maturity date in October 2020. Structurally the facility is paid down and redrawn (revolving credit) each time the Company presents a

certificate outlining the Group’s growth in new Future Contracted Income on a monthly basis. For drawings in New Zealand Dollars of a

1-month duration, the interest rate is the 1-month BKBM plus margin of 2.50%. For drawings in USD of a 1-month duration, the interest rate

is the 1 month US LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50%. In addition to a 1.50% line fee on the total facility limit, payable quarterly in advance.

$5,150,000 (NZD) Overdraft Facilities – for general working capital purposes. This is an on demand facility with the interest rate based

on the Market Connect Overdraft Prime Rate plus a margin of 1%.

EROAD’s operating covenants to support the above facilities include Loan to Total FCI Ratio, Interest Cover Ratio, Total Assets

(Obligators) to Total Assets (Group) ratio, and an umbrella limit on the aggregate of all facilities being below $40,000,000 (NZD).

EROAD was compliant with all covenants during the period and at 30 September 2019.

The security package for the Multi-Option Credit Facility Agreement includes an all obligations cross-guarantee granted by EROAD

Australia Pty Limited and EROAD Inc in favour of the BNZ in respect of the obligations of EROAD Limited, and a General Security

Agreement granted by EROAD Limited, EROAD Inc and EROAD Australia Pty Limited in favour of the BNZ as secured parties.

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part

of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

The Group has positive operating cash flows which funds the day-to-day servicing and support of its existing customer base. The

Group plans to fund future research and development spend with excess operating cash flows of the business, whilst looking to fund

the capex needed for future growth in hardware units with debt funding facilities.

Since 30 September 2019, the Group has formally extended the term of the debt facilities through to the end of January 2021.

Concurrently discussions are underway with the bank to restructure and extend its debt facilities.  The Group has received an

indicative term sheet, which the board has approved, for a revised growth funding debt facility with a term through to January

2022. It is anticipated that full credit approval and loan documentation will be finalised for this facility in December 2019.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 13 • RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related party transactions are consistent in nature with those reported at 31 March 2019.

NOTE 14 • CAPITAL COMMITMENTS

As at 30 September 2019 the Group had confirmed purchase orders open with its third party manufacturer of hardware units

amounting to $950 (31 March 2019: $735).

NOTE 15 • CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

During the year ended 31 March 2019, the Group was approached by a third party who asserted that EROAD had infringed a number of

its patents. From our internal review of the patent claims asserted by the other party, the Group believes there are grounds in support

for why we have not infringed their patents and also strong grounds that the patents would likely be considered invalid if EROAD was

to challenge them. The Group strongly asserts that we have not infringed the patents and have informed the other party that we will

seek our attorney fees from them in the event we succeeded in any potential litigation.

As we firmly believe that we not infringed any patents no amounts have been provided for in relation to this claim. The Group has

incurred legal costs in defending this claim over the six months ended 30 September 2019 and will continue to incur legal costs over

the next twelve months.

recommendation. Nothing in this presentation constitutes legal,

financial, tax or other advice.

This presentation may contain projections or forward-looking

statements regarding a variety of items. Such projections or

forward-looking statements are based on current expectations,

estimates and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks,

uncertainties and assumptions.

There is no assurance that results contemplated in any projections

or forward-looking statements in this presentation will be realised.

Actual results may differ materially from those projected in this

with further information about EROAD.

While reasonable care has been taken in compiling this

presentation, none of EROAD nor its subsidiaries, directors,

NON-GAAP MEASURES

EROAD has used non-GAAP measures when discussing financial

performance in this document. The directors and management

believe that these measures provide useful information as they

are used internally to evaluate performance of business units, to

establish operational goals and to allocate resources.

Non-GAAP measures are not prepared in accordance with NZ

IFRS (New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards)

and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-GAAP measures

reported in this document may not be comparable with those that

other companies report and should not be viewed in isolation or

considered as a substitute for measures reported by EROAD in

accordance with NZ IFRS. The non-GAAP measures are not subject

to audit or review. Definitions as can be found in the Glossary on

A game changer for the market

• EROAD Where is an Asset

Management platform, similar in

design to the EROAD Depot platform.

• It is being launched together with

the EROAD designed and built

EROAD Where Bluetooth® tag, which

leverages the power of our unique

Mesh network (which only EROAD

can create in New Zealand), made up

of Ehubo Gen 2 units and the EROAD

Where App on mobile phones.

• At just $30 per EROAD Where tag, and

$5 per month per tag subscription, the

game changing price point delivers a

disruptive asset tracking solution to a

large addressable market.

• EROAD has determined an initial

target market of c. 1m assets.

• IOT trackers claim to save time, reduce

costs, and help businesses perform

better. EROAD Where does that too,

but at a fraction of the cost. This is a

game changer in cost in the market,

even for low cost or high volumes of

assets.

• The platform has been designed

to communicate with a variety of

future devices, so EROAD Where will

continue to scale with our customer’s

needs

• Now in the final stages of Beta

testing in Q3, will be launched in Q4.

• Investment prior to launch has

been c.$1m.

EROAD’s three strategic priorities in the North American market are:


BUILD SUSTAINABLE RUNRATE BUSINESS IN THE SMB SPACE

-The average monthly SMB runrate was 328 units.

This was below EROAD’s expectations

-Work is underway to improve this runrate, although with the

lower than anticipated AOBRD to ELD pipeline this may not be

achieved in the short term

-Expect some growth from 2017 ELD mandate contract roll-offs

and sunset of 3G technology

• PURSUE SELECTIVE ENTERPRISE OPPORTUNITIES

-3,631 units from EROAD’s largest enterprise customer win were

deployed and a second large enterprise customer was won and

deployed (1,650 units)

• CONSIDER STRATEGIC GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

EROAD’s three strategic priorities in the Australian market are:


BUILD SUSTAINABLE RUNRATE BUSINESS IN THE SMB SPACE

-The monthly average runrate achieved was 22 units. This is below

EROAD’s expectations and work is underway to improve this in the

short term, including increasing marketing and informing potential

customers on EROAD’s customer value proposition

• PURSUE SELECTIVE ENTERPRISE OPPORTUNITIES

-The enterprise opportunity pipeline for Australia (fleets of 500–

1000) continues to be strong and above expectations. Given the

longer sales lead times for this type of customer, we only anticipate

some wins prior to the end of FY20

• MANAGE COST BASE FOR EFFICIENCIES IN GROWTH

-The size of the in-market sales team and marketing activity is closely

monitored and increases will only follow increases in sales achieved

and opportunity pipeline. Customer support functions continue to

be provided from New Zealand to ensure cost to serve efficiencies

at this early stage of entry into Australia

NORTH AMERICA

Strong EBITDA growth of $3.6m from $(0.4)m to

from $6.9m to $11.9m and improved operating

leverage in addition to stronger USD.

AUSTRALIA

sales and marketing capability in new market.

CORPORATE

Revenues were higher than the previous half

year with grant income and revenues relating to

• Consistent, solid growth is expected in the New Zealand

business for the remainder of FY20.

• Following the strong growth for North America in H1 20 with

the on-boarding of two large enterprise customers, further

growth in the second half is expected to be at a reduced rate

and predominantly come from the small to medium customer

run rate business.



•  In Australia, it is anticipated that some of the strong

enterprise pipeline will convert prior to the end of FY20.  In

addition, steady gains will be delivered in the small to medium

customer run rate business. 


• Will go live with new generation of business systems in H2 20.

This will deliver further operating leverage into FY21.

• Research and development cost is still anticipated to be

within the higher end of the 18 to 22% of revenue range

previously outlined.

• Operating expenses are anticipated to be several million

dollars higher in the second half of FY20 due to the full year

impact of new capability hires, an anticipated increase in

legal costs relating to the US patent claim, the costs

associated with the company’s share based payment scheme

as well as continuing capability hires in the product and

engineering functions as well as strategic partnering and

Research by CJ O’Driscoll & Associates has

estimated the commercial telematics market in

North America has grown by 265% during the

past ten years.

McKinsey & Company estimates the value of

telematics could be as large as $750 billion by

2030 with no country reaching adoption rates

that exceed 20% (US – 20%, Italy 17%, Australia

3% and NZ 1%).

Global commercial telematic CAGRs are

estimated at 18%-21% between 2018 and 2024.

Main drivers are:

• Regulatory change (H&S, COR, Driver Fatigue)

• Operational improvements from integration to

back office systems (Payroll, dispatch, logistics

management)

• Data insights, benchmarking and predictions

• More customer solutions, and connected

devices

Years to grow

from 100k units

to 250k units

• The true race we are in is with other telematic

competitors who operate in our markets.

• We know from the C.J. Driscoll research their growth

performance and can set growth targets for ourselves. 

• 28 telematics providers operating in North America,

Australia and New Zealand have achieved the 100,000

subscriber vehicle milestone. On average achieved in

12 years. EROAD achieved this milestone in 9 years.

• 13 telematics providers have achieved the 250,000

subscriber vehicle milestone taking an average further

3.2 years to achieve. High growth rates were achieved

through acquisition (of product gaps or subscriber

base), large R&D spend, and significant marketing

investment.

• Of the 15 telematic providers than have not achieved

the 250,000 milestone, 5 have been acquired or

merged. The balance of 10 (excluding EROAD) have

an average estimated fleet size of 143,000 and an

average estimated run rate of 17,000 per year.

• Based on H1 20 contracted unit growth we will achieve

the 250,000 contracted unit target in six years. Our

challenge is to get there faster.
