Global Traffic Network, Inc. Reports Fiscal 2011 Annual and

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

Quarterly Revenue Increases 44% to $33.5 million

Adjusted Operating Income Up 134%

New York, NY, September 13, 2011 – Global Traffic Network, Inc. (Nasdaq: GNET), a leading provider of custom traffic and news reports to radio and television stations outside the United States, today announced its results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended June 30, 2011.

The Company’s revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $33.5 million, an increase of 44% from $23.2 million reported in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenue from the Company’s Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom operations were up 41%, 50% and 50%, respectively, from the fiscal fourth quarter of 2010. When measured in local currencies, Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom revenues increased 17%, 43% and 38%, respectively compared to the prior year quarter.

Adjusted Operating Income increased from $2.4 million for the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2010 to $5.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The Company defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) as net operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted Operating Income includes the impact of non-cash compensation from the granting of stock options and restricted stock which was $0.4 million for the current quarter compared to $0.3 million for the previous year quarter.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 was $4.0 million compared to net income of $0.4 million for the same quarter a year ago. Included in the United Kingdom results were $0.7 million of amortization expense related to the intangibles of the Company’s acquisition of Unique Broadcasting in March 2009.

The Company’s revenue for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $117.4 million, an increase of 26% from $93.3 million reported for fiscal 2010. Revenue from the Company’s Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom operations were up 23%, 58% and 19%, respectively, from the year ended June 30, 2010. When measured in local currencies, Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom revenues increased 10%, 51% and 18%, respectively compared to the prior year.

Adjusted Operating Income more than doubled to $18.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011 compared to $9.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2010. Adjusted Operating Income includes the impact of non-cash compensation from the granting of stock options and restricted stock which was $1.4 million for the current year compared to $1.2 million last year.


Net income for fiscal 2011 was $8.9 million compared to net income of $0.6 million last year. In addition to the continued (and increased) profitability of the Australian operations, the Company’s United Kingdom operations attained profitability while the Company’s Canadian operations significantly reduced their net loss compared to the year ended June 30, 2010. Included in the United Kingdom current results were $2.6 million of amortization expense related to the intangibles of the Company’s acquisition of Unique Broadcasting in March 2009.

Commenting on the results, William L. Yde III, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Global Traffic Network, said, “We are pleased with the increase in Adjusted Operating Income for both this quarter as well as the whole year. Our Adjusted Operating Income more than doubled for the quarter while our annual Adjusted Operating Income has grown over four fold in the past two years, from $3.8 million for fiscal 2009 to $18.3 million for the latest fiscal year.”

Mr. Yde continued, “Global Alert Network, our personalized alerting product for mobile phones, has added a significant number of subscribers since our launch in February 2011. We now have in excess of 300 thousand users and these subscribers received over 1.5 million traffic and weather alert messages in the month of August alone. In addition, we have brought the I-Phone on line in August and expect to begin to add a significant number of subscribers for this device shortly. We are continuing to actively market the commercial availabilities to advertisers and are optimistic about the revenue potential of the service.”

Mr. Yde concluded, “Our Company continues to generate strong free cash flow and maintain a solid balance sheet which has no debt and significant cash balances. We are well positioned in the advertising market place, with no significant direct competitors, an extremely effective product and a seasoned, experienced sales staff.”

Fiscal First Quarter 2012 Outlook

July 2011 Preliminary Revenue

The Company, based on its internal financial reports and the exchange rates for July 2011, expects revenue for July to be approximately $10.0 million, compared to approximately $7.9 million for July 2010 based on the July 2010 exchange rates below. The Company’s quarterly income statements are translated based on the average exchange rate for the quarter, and therefore a change in the exchange rates from July 2011 to August and September 2011 could change the projected amount of the July 2011 revenue in United States dollars as reported in the Company’s quarterly financial statements.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Global Traffic Network, Inc. defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) as net operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization expense. The Company uses Adjusted Operating Income (Loss), among other things, to evaluate its operating performance. The Company believes the presentation of this measure is relevant and useful for investors because it helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. In addition, the Company believes this measure is among the measures used by investors, analysts and peers in the media industry for purposes of evaluation and comparing its operating performance to other companies.

Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net operating income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance. Because Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) excludes certain financial information compared with net operating income (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions which are excluded. In addition, Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) may not be comparable to measures of adjusted operating income, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA, operating cash flow or similarly titled measures employed by other companies. Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) is not necessarily a measure of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs.


The following presents the reconciliation of net operating income to Adjusted Operating Income for the three and twelve month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
