Quarterly Operational Update

23 January 2020

EROAD delivers continuing growth for Q3 FY20

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

months ended 31 December 2019.

Growth during the quarter resulted in 4,123 units being added at an annualised growth rate of 15%.

This builds on the strong platform of existing users that EROAD has previously established. Third

quarter highlights include:

• Double digit annualised growth rates in total contracted units across all EROAD’s markets;

• Continued robust growth in EROAD’s home market of New Zealand; and

• Sold 1080 EROAD Where location tags to customers in December in advance of the full

launch in Q4.

* 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.

** North American units have been restated for data cleansing adjustment identified as part of pre go live migration work for new ERP

systems implementation. Adjustment relates to the cumulative effect of the misclassification of 284 Ehubo 2.0 units in Depot platform. Full

system go live will occur in Q4 and accordingly potential further one-off adjustments may occur for New Zealand and North America markets.

EROAD continues to grow in New Zealand as the expansion into existing customer fleets continues

together with a solid underlying new customer run rate. Over the quarter, New Zealand added 2,555

units, an annualised YTD growth rate of 16% which is in line with the company’s expectations.

As foreshadowed during the presentation of the HY20 results, the North American market delivered

a subdued level of growth in Q3 compared to the strong growth in the previous two quarters. These

previous quarters included a sizable lift in sales due to the onboarding of the majority of the two

large ent erprise customers. However, Q3 saw some growth in the small-to-medium business run-

rate. Net of 226 deployments to the two enterprise customers in Q3, the underlying average

monthly run rate for small to medium business customers was 391 compared to 328 for the first half

of FY20. This run rate continues to be below EROAD’s expectations. Work is underway to improve

the run-rate with focus on better targeting of potential customers. Given the longer-lead times for

Enterprise customers, we do not expect any new North American enterprise customers during the

remainder of FY20.

EROAD continued to build its presence in the Australian market, with further steady growth of 11%

in the quarter reflecting continuing gains of small-to-medium business customers.

Despite the improvement quarter on quarter, this continues to be below EROAD’s expectations, and

it continues to have greater ambitions for the Australian market. As previously disclosed, the

pipeline of enterprise customers with fleet sizes of 500 – 1,000 remains encouraging and above

original expectations. EROAD anticipates at least one of these enterprise customer opportunities to

be won in Q4.
