TRX REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
Company Delivers Strong Free Cash Flow and Reduces Debt Level to Five Year Low
ATLANTA, 11 AUGUST 2011 TRX, Inc. (www.trx.com) (OTCQB: TRXI), a world-leading provider of travel technology, process automation, consulting and data services, today reported financial results for the quarter ended 30 June 2011.
Total revenues excluding client reimbursements for the second quarter of 2011 were $12.4 million compared with $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2010. Net loss for the second quarter of 2011 was $(0.5) million compared to net income of $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2010. Net loss per diluted share was $(0.03) compared to net income per diluted share of $0.02 for the second quarter of 2010. Revenues from transaction processing services for the second quarter of 2011 were $9.2 million, compared to $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2010. Revenues from data intelligence services for the second quarter of 2011 were $3.2 million, compared to $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA was $0.8 million for the quarter, compared with $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Our outlook for 2011 remains consistent with the perspective we shared in the first quarter, both financially and operationally, said Shane Hammond, President and CEO, TRX. As expected, we experienced seasonal reductions in revenue and earnings during the second quarter. Operationally, we continue to add new clients and diversify our revenue base in a nimble, client-centric manner, driving down cycle times and creating more immediate value for our clients. Our product offering, pricing approach and value proposition are all strong. We continue to develop our pipeline of new business and our product offerings. Our sales team has delivered with increasing success this year and weve added clients across all offerings in our portfolio.
David Cathcart, Chief Financial Officer, added, Im pleased that during the first half we delivered our highest level of free cash flow in a decade and ended the quarter with our lowest level of debt since 2006. These metrics are a strong testament to the operational effectiveness of our team.
Based on managements expectations for the calendar year, TRX confirmed its initial 2011 financial guidance as follows:
| Revenues of $47 to $50 million |
| Adjusted EBITDA of $4 to $5 million |
| Capital Expenditures of approximately $2.5 million |
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
TRX provides financial measures and terms not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Presentation of non-GAAP measures such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow provide investors with an alternative method for assessing our operating results in a manner that enables investors to more thoroughly evaluate our performance. These non-GAAP measures provide a baseline for assessing the Companys future earnings expectations. TRX management uses these non-GAAP measures for the same purpose. The non-GAAP measures included in this release are provided to give investors access to the types of measures that we use in analyzing our results.
EBITDA consists of GAAP net (loss) income adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. EBITDA provides useful information to investors about the Companys performance because it eliminates the effects of period to period changes in the cost associated with capital investments, interest expense and taxes. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not give effect to the cash the Company must use to service its debt or pay its income taxes and thus do not reflect the funds generated from operations or actually available for capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow consists of GAAP cash flow from operating activities minus GAAP cash flow from investing activities. Free Cash Flow provides a useful indicator about the Companys ability to fund its operations and repay its debts.

TRXs calculation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-GAAP measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. Schedules that reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP net income and Free Cash Flow to Net Cash Provided by Operations are included with this release.
