and more sustainable roads, today released its quarterly update for the three months ended

• Total contracted unit growth of 70,736 units (+53.3%), reflecting the Coretex

acquisition, as well as strong organic growth in New Zealand and Australia;

• Coretex acquisition completed successfully, and integration is on track with initial key

focus on building sales momentum in North America market;

• Significant Enterprise opportunities in North America, with pilots underway across

several customer verticals representing over 23,000 units; and

*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 connected to EROAD’s platforms and units pending instalment. A unit represents a hardware solution installed in a vehicle or

trailer providing telematics solutions. Following the launch of Clarity Solo and the completion of the Coretex acquisition, the definition of a

unit now includes Clarity Solo units and Coretex units.


EROAD grew by 70,736 units in the three months ended 31 December, ending the quarter at

203,439 units reflecting the acquisition of Coretex and strong organic growth in New

Zealand and Australia. The acquisition of Coretex was successfully completed on the 30

November 2021. Integration is on track with initial focus on building sales in the North

America market.


In New Zealand, contracted growth was 11,165 units for the quarter. This reflects the 7,637

units acquired at 30 November, the continued roll out of several Enterprise fleets won in Q2

FY22, a new bus fleet won and largely installed in the quarter, as well as ongoing small and

medium size customer run-rate growth.


The acquisition of Coretex has significantly improved EROAD’s North America market position

and growth potential. Over the quarter, North America units increased by 50,725 reflecting

the 50,628 Coretex units brought on at 30 November 2021 and gross organic sales of 2,091

(including an Enterprise customer win of approximately 500 units), offset by churn from

customers using EROAD branded products. The customer churn included the loss of a

c.650 unit Enterprise customer, which ended its agreement with EROAD after both parties

were unable to reach mutually agreeable renewal terms, as well as ongoing impacts of driver

shortages, broader macro-economic concerns and continued fleet reduction. Coretex

delivered a further 671 net units in December, and also has signed contracts across the

construction, mixed fleet and refrigeration segments for approximately 2,600 additional units

which commence roll out in Q4 FY22. The North American business currently has five

Enterprise customer pipeline opportunities at the pilot stage relating to potential

opportunities totalling over 23,000 units.


Following the launch of EROAD Clarity Solo Dashcam at the American Trucking Association

MC&E show in Nashville Tennessee in late October 2021, EROAD has sold 116 units across all

markets, with the majority sold in North America. This product, (which significantly increases

the addressable market for dashcams), has no in-cab requirement for a pre-installed Ehubo

and, so as a standalone device, is included in the contracted unit numbers.


Australia grew by 8,846 units over the quarter reflecting both the Coretex acquisition (7,892

units added at 30 November 2021) and the roll out of Enterprise customer Ventia. EROAD

has now dispatched approximately 97% of the Ventia Australian units, and roll-out is expected

to complete this quarter. Operating conditions have become more challenging since

December with the Omicron COVID-19 wave impacting EROAD staff and customers. There

are three ongoing Enterprise customer pipeline opportunities at the pilot stage due to

conclude in Q4 FY22 relating to opportunities for approximately 1,400 units and c. 13,000

microtags.
