Letter from
the Chair and CEO

We are pleased to present our report for the half year to

30 September 2021.

As we have outlined previously, EROAD is focused on

building its business in North America and Australia, and is

transitioning to the next phase of growth.

Our operating cash flow and two capital raises over the

last 12 months have allowed us to accelerate investment

for organic growth, develop strategic partnerships and

undertake the transformational acquisition of Coretex.

Our financial results for the six months ended 30 September

2021 (H1 FY22) reflect both the continued investment in our

growth strategies as well as the resilience of our business in

continuing challenging macro-economic conditions.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND CEO EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT

Financial result reflects
both continued investment

in our growth strategies

as well as the resilience

of our business model in

continued challenging

macro-economic conditions

Revenue increased $2.2m to $48.0m reflecting growth in

units, dashcams and additional add-onsubscriptions sold to

our customers. This was partly offset by a reduction in other

revenue from H1 FY21. The prior period included income from

the forgiveness of a North American COVID-19 government

support loan ($1.6m).

Over the period, contracted units grew by 5% reflecting

continued good growth in both New Zealand and Australia.

This is partly offset by a reduction in units in North America

due the loss of an enterprise customer (1,751 units) which

aligned its technology with that of its acquirer. We also

continued to see increased momentum selling add-on

hardware or SaaS subscription products with over 296

customers adding a product or service to their existing plan,

representing 7,341 Dashcam Clarity, Inspect, Logbook or Book-

it subscriptions added.

Our Asset Retention Rate remained high at 94.1%, reflecting

the quality of EROAD’s service and product offering.

In addition,538 customers renewed their EROAD plan

(representing some 16,481 contracted units). Our Annualised

Monthly Recurring Revenue metric, which provides a forward

view of sustainable revenue, increased to $92.9m from $88.4m

at 31 March 2021. We also saw an increase in Future Contracted

Income from $140.0m to $149.1 reflecting a considerable

number of renewals that occurred during the period including

the continuing 3G to 4G roll-out in North America (nearly 80%

of North America units now on 4G technology).

Operating expenditure increased from $30.5m in the prior

comparable period to $35.4m. This is due to $2.0m of

transaction and integration costs relating to the Coretex

acquisition, increased employee costs related to new hires and

the increased competition for talent, as well as an increased

level of annual leave accrued due to the COVID-19 lock-downs

in the period.

Accordingly, reported EBITDA reduced from $15.3m to $12.6m,

representing an EBITDA margin of 26%. For H1 FY22, once

transaction and integration costs are excluded, normalised

EBITDA is $14.6m, an increase from normalised EBITDA for

H1 FY21 of $13.7m once the one-off COVID-19 government

support loan in North America of $1.6m is excluded. EROAD’s

normalised EBITDA margin is 30%.

As anticipated, research and development spend increased

from $9.3m to $13.3m, representing 28% of revenue. As

we move ahead with our growth strategies, research and

development is focused on opening up our addressable market

for Enterprise customers.

EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND CEO

Successful delivery of our growth
strategy, as we build towards

becoming a bigger player in

North America and Australia

We are in a transitional period, as we move into the next phase

of growth and become a bigger player in North America and

Australia. To prepare to take advantage of these increasing

growth opportunities we are accelerating investment in our

platforms and products. We have previously stated our choice

to grow through organic growth, strategic partnerships and

acquisitions and we have successfully delivered on this growth

strategy in H1 FY22.

EROAD continues to extend its platform and launch new

products to enable it to organically grow its contracted units,

Average Revenue per Unit (ARPU) and retain customers. Since

the end of March 2021, we have launched 11 new products

or enhancements to do just that. With low video telematics

penetration across all our markets, we are focused on expanding

and improving our video telematics portfolio. In October 2021,

we expanded our video telematics offering with the launch of

EROAD Clarity Solo Dashcam. Solo dashcam is an integrated

dashcam and telematics device as such it expands our

addressable market into a wider range of fleets (e.g. US LCVs),

without the need to also install an EHUBO, and it can also be

installed alongside another telematics providers. Accordingly,

EROAD expects this launch to accelerate sales of dashcams.

Since 31 March 2021, we have released a series of

enhancements and new products including EROAD Analyst,

EROAD Book-it, EROAD Messaging and EROAD Where Mini

Tags, further increasing the range of products and services we

offer our customers.

Accessing additional product solutions through strategic

partnerships with quality technology providers enables

EROAD to fill product gaps concurrently with its continuing

organic investment. Our strategic partnership with Philips

Connect, that commenced in June 2021, has resulted in sales

of 666 Philips Connect solutions in H1 FY22. These Philips

Connect solutions help customers locate assets, give their own

customers a live view into their trailers, containers, and chassis

as well as increase customers’ productivity. This solution also

increases the addressable market of North American medium

and enterprise fleets and provides up-sell opportunities to

EROAD once a Philips Connect solution is sold. We entered

into a second strategic partnership with Seeing Machines in

August 2021, an industry leader in vision-based monitoring

technology. By integrating this technology into the EROAD

platform, we are able to target our dashcam sales to mixed

fleets that have biometric requirements (e.g. Hazemat).

EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND CEO

In July 2021, we entered into a conditional agreement
to acquire Coretex, a telematics vertical specialist provider

delivering enterprise grade solutions. The acquisition is

transformational for EROAD and we expect it to accelerate

our key growth metrics by two years, enabling us to capture

significant growth opportunity in North America and

Australia (particularly with respect to Coretex’s focus on

the Enterprise customer base). The acquisition also

accelerates growth by adding new strategic customer

verticals, broadening our product offering and customer

base and positions EROAD to become a bigger player in

the North America and Australian markets.

Combining EROAD’s expertise in broadly adopted regulatory

telematics solutions with Coretex’s extensive vertical telematic

expertise, products, and customer base is a great fit. Coretex

has a strong focus on working through the needs of enterprise

customers within the frame of the supply chain. Whether it

is temperature control, service verification, contamination

detection, location or fuel performance, Coretex takes an end

to end approach by industry vertical.

INTEGRATING CORETEX SUCCESSFULLY

TO MAXIMISE THE DEAL BENEFITS

The Coretex acquisition substantially increases our scale

in North America and Australia and provides the ability to

improve our competitive advantage, drive revenue synergies

and accelerate growth. A well planned and executed

integration is critical to maximising the synergies for any

major acquisition and both companies have been busy over

the last few months putting together a detailed plan to do

just that.

The acquisition received 100% shareholder approval in July,

Overseas Investment Office approval in October and NZ

Commerce Commission approval on 17 November and is

expected to complete with effect from 1 December 2021.

It is anticipated that the two businesses will be largely

integrated in approximately 12-18 months. Our initial focus

will be on North America and promotion of Coretex 360

platform and CoreHub hardware solution as EROAD’s next

generation product within weeks of completion to enable

sales momentum to begin back in that market.

EROAD expects the majority of investment to occur this

and next financial year, with revenue benefits commencing

from FY23.

STRENGTHENING EROAD FURTHER

WITH CORETEX’S CAPABILITY

Selwyn Pellett, CEO of Coretex, will join EROAD’s Board as an

Executive Director and be an advisor during the integration

period. Selwyn has worked in the technology sector in New

Zealand for over 20 years and brings a wealth of experience

in particular telematics and network security. The Board

intend to appoint an additional director from North America

by the end of FY22 with a particular focus on digital product

marketing and SaaS technology.

Akinyemi Koyi (“AK”) will join the Executive Team in a

new role as Chief Innovation Officer. He has been at the

helm of Coretex’s technology development for over seven

years as their CTO & COO and brings a strong blend of

strategic planning, technical skill and industry knowledge.

This role enables EROAD to continue accelerating strategic

development of the business. AK will lead cross functional

teams focussed on keeping EROAD at the forefront of

delivering technological innovation to solve business

problems for our customers. Tracey Herman, Coretex’s CFO,

will move into a senior commercial and finance role in the

combined business.

Both the EROAD and Coretex teams are excited about two

New Zealand based technology companies coming together.

Together we will have a wider set of talent and solutions

that will deliver benefits to our customers quicker instead

of working in silo of each other. Our products and services

complement one another and so provide better solutions for

existing and prospective customers. Accordingly, it made sense

to unite them.

Improving

sustainability

for us and our

customers

EROAD has always aspired to create safer and more

sustainable roads. We believe the use of our products and

services leads to positive outcomes for our customers and

the wider community. The significant progress we have made

towards our growth strategy increases our ability to make a

positive difference.

In October, we released Road to Sustainability, our inaugural

sustainability sentiment survey for New Zealand and

Australia. This gave us the opportunity to identify where

we can best help our customers adapt to new government

regulations and also help drive further change within the

transportation industry. We intend to use this report as a

launchpad to bring sustainability to the forefront of the

conversation when discussing transport carbon footprint

emissions. This will help us further our sustainability efforts

within the transport industry.

EROAD also recently announced that it has partnered with

FUSO in New Zealand’s first zero emissions truck trial. The

100% electric FUSO eCanter vehicles will be trialled over the

next year by Mainfreight, Bidfood, Toll Global Express, Owens

Transport and Vector OnGas as part of the Auckland Inner City

Zero Emissions Area trial. The fleet of FUSO eCanters have

EROAD’s Ehubo 2.0 installed, with full access to the MyEROAD

platform. Providing the fleet managers with real-time GPS

tracking, driver behaviour alerts and performance reporting.

In addition to the impact our products and services have

and will continue to have, EROAD is keen to do its bit. In our

last annual report we made good progress moving towards

reporting against the GRI Standards sustainability reporting

framework and completed a materiality assessment. Over

the next twelve months, EROAD is looking to use this initial

work to build a base and, once the Coretex integration is well

in motion, set measurable objectives to measure, report and

drive improvements in our sustainability efforts.

EROAD’s ESG Steering Group meets regularly to discuss and

advance our sustainability goals. The ESG Steering Group

considers environmental matters (such as reducing our carbon

emissions), social factors (including diversity and inclusion

goals), and governance matters (such as new legislative

requirements including the TCFD and the Global Reporting

Initiative standards).

EROAD’s Global Market Development team continues to build

its strength in ESG, including the appointment of a Regulatory

Development Manager in Australia. The team plays a critical

role in continuing to build our strengths in ESG, including by

being a member of, actively working with, the International

Road Federation on a Taskforce for Climate Impact Mitigation.

In New Zealand, we are working with Toitu to complete the

carbon reduce programme. In line with this, our product

team is considering what further support our products and

services can offer EV fleets, and how we can better support

our customers through their own sustainability initiatives. This

includes supporting the New Zealand Government’s goal of

the public sector becoming carbon neutral by 2025.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND CEO EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT

As previously announced in EROAD’s Q2 operating update on
21 October 2021, with continued challenging macro-economic

conditions (particularly in North America) and the Coretex

acquisition expected to complete 1 December 2021, we now

expect stand-alone FY22 revenue growth to be between 10%

and 13% and continue to expect normalised EBITDA margin

(prior to integration and transaction costs) to be at or around

the levels delivered in FY21.

While good growth is still being experienced in both Australia

and New Zealand, some anticipated growth has been deferred

to either later in FY22 or into early FY23 due to COVID-19 lock-

down restrictions delaying piloting activity, installation roll-outs

and lengthening sales lead-times. North America continues to

experience ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and its associated

economic challenges, in particular significant driver shortages

and supply chain issues impacting mid-market customers. As a

result, growth to date has been below EROAD’s expectations.

With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and their impacts,

the launch of EROAD’s next generation Android platform

and hardware, the release of Clarity Solo in October, and the

completion of the Coretex acquisition, we do expect increased

sales momentum in FY23.

The Coretex acquisition is expected to complete with effect

from 1 December, therefore it is now appropriate for EROAD

to withdraw its FY22 stand-alone guidance as it is no longer

relevant for the combined entities.

FY22

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND CEO EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT

Thank you for your continued support of EROAD. We look

forward to updating you at the FY22 financial results as we

continue expand our capability, improve customer experience,

and expand our reach into new customer verticals.

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 have used are Adjusted EBITDA,

Annualised Monthly Recurring Revenue (AMRR), Costs to Acquire

Customers (CAC), Costs to Service & Support (CTS), EBITDA,

Normalised EBITDA, Normalised Revenue, EBITDA margin,

Normalised EBITDA margin, Free Cash Flow and Future Contracted

Income (FCI)

The definitions of these can be found on pages 41 of the

investor presentation. All numbers relate to the 6 months ended 30

September 2021 (H1 FY22) and comparisons relate to the 6 months

ended 30 September 2020 (H1 FY21), unless stated otherwise. All

dollar amounts are in NZD.

This report covers the six months ended 30 September 2021

and is dated 26 November 2021. This report has been approved by

the Board and is signed on behalf of EROAD Limited by Graham

Stuart, Chairman and Steven Newman, Manging Director and Chief

Executive Officer.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The consolidated interim financial statements presented for the six months ended 30 September 2021 are for EROAD Limited

(EROAD), and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”). The Group provides electronic on-board units and software

as a service to the transport industry.

EROAD Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in New Zealand registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on

the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) Main Board and Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). The Company is a FMC reporting entity

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in

New Zealand (NZ GAAP). NZ GAAP in this instance being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

(NZ IFRS) as appropriate for profit-oriented entities. These consolidated interim financial statements also comply with the New

Zealand equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34), and International Accounting

Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and are prepared in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and

the Financial Reporting Act 2013.

The consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2021 are unaudited and have been the

subject of review by the auditor, pursuant to NZ SRE 2410 (Revised): Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent

Auditor of the Entity as issued by the External Reporting Board.

These consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as, and should be read

in conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 March 2021 (‘last

annual financial statements’). These consolidated interim financial statements 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 annual financial

statements.

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 26 November 2021.

Basis of measurement

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

Going concern

The directors have considered the ability of the Group to continue to operate as a going concern for at least the next 12 months

from the date the financial statements are authorised for issue. It is the conclusion of the directors that the Group will continue to

operate as a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on that basis.

In reaching their conclusion the directors have considered the following factors:

-Cash reserves at 30 September 2021 of $119.0 million and bank borrowing facility of $61.1 million of which $28.0 million was

undrawn after including borrowing cost of $0.4 million. This provides sufficient headroom to help support the business for at

least the next 12 months.

-The future contracted income of $149.1 million provides certainty of future revenue; and

-The directors have made due enquiry into the appropriateness of the assumptions underlying the budgetary forecasts.

-The cash reserves are sufficient even after the completion of the planned acquisition of Cortex Limited. Refer to the Note 17 for

further details.

Presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($) which is the Group’s presentation currency, and all values are

rounded to million dollars to one decimal place ($M’s) except where stated. Items included in the financial statements of each

of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the

“functional currency”). The functional currency of EROAD Limited is New Zealand dollars.

Impact of COVID-19

On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic as a result of the outbreak and spread of COVID-19.

Following this, in each of EROAD’s markets of New Zealand, the United States and Australia, lockdowns of varying severity were

introduced. These lockdowns continued in these markets from late March and while some lockdown restrictions have eased in each

of the markets, a range of preventive measures still remain such that each of the markets has yet to return to the level of economic

trading conditions prevalent prior to the COVID-19 crisis.

EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT SECTION TITLEP. 25 >< P. 24MENU EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT GROUP ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Following the lockdowns being initiated in 2020, EROAD was designated an essential service in each of its three markets and

remained operational under its communicable illness business continuity plan. EROAD continues to be considered an essential

service in the current period. Despite this designation, EROAD still experienced a loss in customer demand for new or replacement

units and services, aside from those customers who themselves were designated as essential services. Accordingly, each of

EROAD’s markets were impacted differently due to the differences in lockdown conditions, as well as the differing proportion of

essential services customers in its total customer base.

A detailed assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the EROAD statement of financial position was set out in the annual report

dated 31 March 2021 (financial statements note 2).

Doubtful debts - COVID-19 Provisions

To ensure EROAD has recorded sufficient credit loss provisions to account for the estimated financial impact of any future defaults

EROAD has performed an assessment of estimated credit losses not yet identified but driven by the increase in credit default risk

for its customers.

The assessment considered the following aspects:

• the risk level associated with the industry the customer is operating in, including whether this is an essential service;

• historical loss rates for each risk category; and

• macro economic conditions in the relevant market including COVID-19 responses and lock-down activity.

The impact of the assessment is a $0.1m reduction in the doubtful debt provision since 31 March 2021.

Government Grants - COVID-19

As at 30 September 2021 no Covid-19 related grants were received (31 March 2021 $1.6million).

Adoption of new and revised accounting standards, interpretations and agenda decisions

IFRIC - Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement

The Group has capitalised as intangible assets the costs incurred in configuring and customising certain suppliers’ application software

in cloud computing arrangements. The Group considered that it would benefit from the implementation costs incurred in relation to

the cloud-based software over a number of years and has been amortising the capitalised costs over the years for which it believed

the benefit would be derived. In April 2021, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) issued an agenda

decision in relation to the accounting treatment for configuration and customisation costs in a cloud computing arrangement. The

IFRIC concluded that costs incurred in configuring or customising software in a cloud computing arrangement can be recognised as

intangible assets only if the activities create an intangible asset that the entity controls and the intangible asset meets the recognition

criteria. Costs that do not result in intangible assets are expensed as incurred unless they meet certain criteria where they can be

treated as a prepayment and expensed over the term of the cloud computing arrangement. The Group has commenced a review of

these capitalised costs to determine whether they may need to be expensed or reclassified as prepayments in line with the agenda

decision. At the time of finalising the 30 September 2021 interim financial statements, the Group’s review was still in progress due to

limited time available from the IFRIC agenda decision to the reporting date and the complexity of the various arrangements. The initial

review of the Group’s cloud computing arrangements has identified intangible assets requiring re-assessment with a total cost and net

book value of approximately $16.0 million and $8.8 million, respectively. While the final financial impact of the revised accounting policy

is still being quantified, it may be material for financial reporting purposes. The Group expects to implement the updated accounting

policy in the second half of the year with the full impact of the change in accounting policy, including any retrospective restatement,

reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2022. The change in accounting policy may decrease

intangible assets and its associated amortisation, increase operating expenses, and reclassify costs incurred from an investing to an

operating cash flow. Prepayments may also be recognised as a result.

Set out above is the disaggregation of the Group’s revenue. 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.

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 has been amended

to include 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 has determined EROAD’s customers do not have the right to direct the use of EROAD’s asset (Ehubo) as EROAD

continues to have the right and ability to change how the asset operates during the customer’s contract period. These contracts

are therefore accounted for as service contracts. 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 do 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 Software as a Service (SaaS) revenue, which is

recognised on a straight line basis over the contract period to reflect the fulfilment of the performance obligations as they arise.

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

recognise 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.

EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT SECTION TITLEP. 27 >< P. 26MENU EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As a result, the installation service is considered as part of the single performance obligation; referred to as Software as a Service

(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

The Group acts as an agent for transport authorities in the market that is operates in. Where fees are collected on their behalf,

the Group charges a commission. The revenue recognised is the net amount of the commission fee earned by the Group.

Grant income

Government grants are recognised at fair value in the statement of comprehensive income over the same periods as the costs

for which the grants are intended to compensate. No unfulfilled conditions or contingencies exist related to the government

grants.

NOTE 4 SEGMENTAL NOTE

Segment results that are reported to the CEO include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be

allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise income tax.

The Group has four segments as described below, which are the Group’s strategic divisions. The strategic divisions offer different

services and are managed separately because they require different technology, services and marketing strategies. For each

strategic division, the Group’s CEO (the chief operating decision maker) reviews internal management reports. The following

summary describes the operations in each of the Group’s segments.

EROAD reports selected financial information segmented by geographic location for operating companies and corporate and

development costs.

• Corporate & Development: Corporate head office costs and R&D activities for development of new and existing products and

services

• North America: Operating companies serving customers in North America

• Australia: Operating companies serving customers in Australia

• New Zealand: Operating companies serving customers in New Zealand

Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis.

Reportable segment information

Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Segment result represents Earnings before Interest, Taxation,

Depreciation & Amortisation (EBITDA), which is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker.

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.

EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT SECTION TITLEP. 33 >< P. 32MENU EROAD 2022 INTERIM REPORT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments

made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to restore the underlying asset

or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

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.

Depreciation

Depreciation begins when the asset is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by

management. The following rates have been used on a straight line basis:

Leasehold improvements 3 to 9 years

Hardware assets 3 to 6 years

Plant and equipment 3 to 11 years

Computer/Office equipment 1 to 3 years

Motor vehicles 3 to 5 years

Right of use assets 3 to 9 years

The above rates reflect the estimated useful lives of the respected categories. Consideration was given to how long assets can be

deployed and any expected network changes. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the contracted lease term.

NOTE 8 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (CONTINUED)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 dispose of the assets and its 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 only 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:

Patents 10-20 years

Development Hardware & Platform 7-15 years

Development Products 5-10 years

Software 5-7 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.

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.

Market Release 26 November 2021
EROAD accelerates towards next phase of growth

Transportation technology services company EROAD (ASX/NZX: ERD), with its purpose of safer

and more sustainable roads, today released its financial results for the first half of the 2022

financial year.

All numbers are stated in New Zealand dollars (NZ$) and relate to the six months ended

30 September 2021 (H1 FY22). Comparisons relate to the six months ended 30 September

2020 (H1 FY21) unless stated otherwise.

Key highlights:

• Revenue increased $2.2m to $48.0m from H1 FY21 (which included non-recurring

revenue of $1.6m) and delivered reported EBITDA of $12.6m which includes $2.0m

of transaction and integration costs;

• Contracted units increased by 6,500 despite COVID-19 and monthly ARPU was

$57.64 reflecting additional products and services sold;

• Asset retention rate remained high at 94.1% reflecting the quality of EROAD’s service

and product offering; and

• Continued acceleration of growth strategies by increasing R&D spend to 28% of

Revenue, development of strategic partnerships and the undertaking of the

transformational acquisition of Coretex.

“EROAD’s financial result reflects both the continued investment in our growth strategies as

well as the resilience of our business model in continued challenging macro-economic

conditions. Sales momentum is expected to increase with the easing of COVID-19 impacts,

the launch of the next generation platform and hardware, the release of Clarity Solo, and the

Coretex acquisition.” said Steven Newman, Chief Executive Officer.

EROAD Chair Graham Stuart says: “We have always been clear, that EROAD chooses to grow

through organic growth, strategic partnerships and acquisitions. In H1 FY22, we have

successfully delivered across all these fronts. We are positioned for the next phase of growth

as we look to build our business in the North American and Australian telematics markets.”

Revenue increased $2.2m to $48.0m reflecting growth in units, dashcams and additional add-

on subscriptions sold to customers. This was partly offset by a reduction in other revenue

from H1 FY21. This prior period included income from the forgiveness of a North American

COVID-19 government support loan ($1.6m).

Over the period, contracted units grew by 5% to 132,703 reflecting continued good growth in

both New Zealand and Australia. This was partly offset by a fall in units in North America

predominantly due the loss of an enterprise customer (1,751 units) which aligned its





technology with that of its acquirer. EROAD also continued to see increased momentum

selling add-on hardware or SaaS subscription products with over 296 customers adding a

product or service to their existing plan, representing 7,341 Dashcam Clarity, Inspect, Logbook

or Bookit subscriptions added.

EROAD’s Asset Retention Rate remained high at 94.1%, reflecting the quality of EROAD’s

service and product offering. In addition, 538 customers across all markets renewed their

EROAD plan (representing some 16,481 contracted units). EROAD’s Annualised Monthly

Recurring Revenue metric increased to $92.8m from $88.4m at 31 March 2021. EROAD also

increased Future Contracted Income from $140.0m to $149.1m reflecting the considerable

number of renewals that occurred during the period, including the continuing 3G to 4G roll-

out programme in North America (nearly 80% of North American units now on 4G technology.

Operating expenditure increased from $30.5m to $35.4m. This increase includes $2.0m of

transaction and integration costs relating to the Coretex acquisition, increased employee

costs related to additional employees hired and the increased competition for talent, as well

as annual leave accruing over COVID-19 lock-downs.

Accordingly, reported EBITDA reduced from $15.3m to $12.6m, representing an EBITDA

margin of 26%. For H1 FY22, once transaction and integration costs are excluded, normalised

EBITDA is $14.6m, an increase from normalised EBITDA for H1 FY21 of $13.7m once the one-

off COVID-19 government support loan in North America of $1.6m is excluded. EROAD’s

normalised EBITDA margin is 30%.

As anticipated, research and development spend increased from $9.3m to $13.3m,

representing 28% of revenue. As EROAD moves ahead with its growth strategies, research

and development is focused on opening up our addressable market for Enterprise customers.

Successful delivery of EROAD’s growth strategy

EROAD is in a transitional period, as it moves into the next phase of growth. EROAD has

continued to deliver on its growth strategy, with operating cashflow and two capital raises

over the last 12 months allowing acceleration of investment for organic growth, the

development of strategic partnerships and the undertaking of the transformational

acquisition of Coretex.

EROAD continues to extend its platform offering. Since March 2021, EROAD has released a

series of enhancements and new products to enable growth, including EROAD Analyst, EROAD

Bookit, EROAD Messaging and EROAD Where Mini Tags. In October 2021, EROAD expanded

its video telematics offering with the launch of EROAD Clarity Solo Dashcam (with no in-cab

requirement for a pre-installed EHUBO unit). Clarity Solo is an integrated dashcam and

telematics device, as such it expands EROAD’s addressable market into a wider range of fleets

(e.g. US Light Commercial Vehicles), without the need to also install an EHUBO, and it can also

be installed alongside other telematics providers. With the low penetration of video

telematics across North American transportation fleets, this significantly increases EROAD’s

addressable market.





EROAD entered into a strategic partnership with Philips Connect in June this year which

provides customers a single view of all of their assets, including trailers and assets making

deployment and management easier. EROAD sold 666 Philips Connect solutions in H1 FY22.

EROAD has also entered into a partnership with Seeing Machines, an industry leader in vision-

based monitoring technology, that enable machines to see, understand, and assist people.

In July 2021, EROAD entered into a conditional agreement to acquire Coretex. The acquisition

is expected to accelerate key growth metrics by two years enabling EROAD to capture

significant growth opportunity in North America and Australia (particularly with respect to

Coretex’s focus on the Enterprise customer segment, which has been less impacted by COVID-

19 challenges). It also accelerates growth by adding new strategic verticals and broadens

EROAD’s product offering and customer base.


The acquisition has now received 100% shareholder approval, and both Overseas Investment

Office and NZ Commerce Commission approvals and is expected to complete with effect from

1 December 2021. It is anticipated that the two businesses will be largely integrated in

approximately 12-18 months. The initial focus will be on North America and promoting the

Coretex 360 platform and CoreHub hardware solution as EROAD’s next generation product

within weeks of completion to enable sales momentum to increase in that market.


FY22 Outlook

As announced in EROAD’s Q2 operating update on 21 October 2021, with continued

challenging macro-economic conditions (particularly in North America) and the Coretex

acquisition expected to complete before the end of 2021, EROAD now expects stand-alone

FY22 revenue growth to be between 10% and 13%, and continues to expect normalised

EBITDA margin (prior to integration and transaction costs) to be at or around the levels

delivered in FY21.

While good growth is still being experienced in both Australia and New Zealand, some

anticipated growth has been deferred to either later in FY22 or into early FY23 due to COVID-

19 lock-down restrictions delaying piloting activity, installation roll-outs and lengthening sales

lead-times. North America continues to experience ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and its

associated economic challenges, in particular significant driver shortages and supply chain

issues impacting mid-market customers. As a result, growth to date has been below EROAD’s

expectations.


With the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and their impacts, the launch of EROAD’s next

generation Android platform and hardware, the release of Clarity Solo in October, and the

completion of the Coretex acquisition, EROAD expects increased sales momentum in FY23.

The Coretex acquisition is expected to complete with effect from 1 December, therefore it is

now appropriate for EROAD to withdraw its FY22 stand-alone guidance as it is no longer

relevant for the combined entities.

CHALLENGING

MACRO-ECONOMIC

ENVIROMENT  

• Lagging COVID-19 related impacts of driver

shortages, loss of underlying contracts and broader

macro-economic concerns 


CONTINUED EXECUTION

OF STRATEGY

• 306 net additional units added (gross sales: 1,993)

was below expectations reflecting returns from 

mid-market customers seen thought the high level

of renewals through the period due to the 3G

upgrade programme (nearly 80% of units now

on 4G technology)

• Loss of 1,751 units (as previously disclosed) of an

enterprise customer who has aligned its technology

with that of its acquirer 

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY

• Some delay with two enterprise prospects in pilot

and the solid mix of mid-market pilots launched or

beginning as customers wait to pilot next generation

platform  

• Expected to promote Coretex 360 platform

and Corehub hardware solution in North America

as EROAD’s next generation platform/product

within weeks

• Successfully increased addressable market through

Philips connect partnership and the launch of

dashcam Clarity and Clarity Solo

CONTINUED EXECUTION

OF STRATEGY

• Largest Australian Enterprise customer the Ventia AU

roll-out was almost 60% completed In H1 (1,129 AU

• Revenue increased 5% to $48.0m, reflecting

growth in contracted units offset by the

reduction in other revenue. H1 FY21 benefited

from the forgiveness of a COVID-19 government

support  loan in North America of $1.6m,

normalised for this revenue grew 9%

• Operating expenditure increased 16% reflecting

$2.0m integration and transaction costs and

increased R&D. EROAD is also experiencing some

cost pressures in remuneration and recruitment

given the competitive labour market. 

• Some timing related costs associated with annual

leave expected to reduce as markets open up from

lock downs

• EBIT reduced from $2.4m to a loss of $0.5m

reflecting increased spending related to the

Coretex acquisition

CTS has increased, reflecting investment in billing

CTS will improve over time as scale and leverage increases.

The cost to acquire per unit has increased 

reflecting the loss of a North America enterprise

Balance sheet (NZ$m)

• Cash has increased by $62.2m as a result of

the capital raise during July 

• PPE has increased primarily as a result of

investment in inventory given the current global

supply chain pressures and delays

• The increase in other assets within current 

assets category is as a result of the combination 

of an increase in our receivables balance and

prepayments

• Contract Fulfilment and Customer Acquisition 

Assets increased by $1.1m reflecting growth and a

strong period of renewals 

• Intangibles increase relates to the ongoing

capitalisation of R&D development

On 21 October EROAD announced it expects stand-alone

FY22 revenue growth of 10-13% and Normalised EBITDA

margin (prior to integration and transaction costs) to be

at or around the levels of FY21

Good growth in both Australia and New Zealand,

with some anticipated growth deferred to either later

in FY22 or into early FY23 due to COVID-19 lock-down

restrictions delaying piloting activity, installation

roll-outs and lengthening sales lead-times

North America continues to experience ongoing impacts

of COVID-19 and its associated economic challenges

The Coretex acquisition is expected to complete with

effect from 1 December, therefore it is now appropriate

for EROAD to withdraw its FY22 stand-alone guidance

as it is no longer relevant for the combined entities
