TRX REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Accelerating Strategic Investment in Data Intelligence

ATLANTA, 14 NOVEMBER 2012 — 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 third quarter ended 30 September 2012.

Total revenues excluding client reimbursements for the quarter were $11.4 million, compared with $12.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. Net income was $0.2 million for the third quarter of 2012, compared with $0.6 million for the third quarter of 2011. Net income per diluted share was $0.01 for the third quarter of 2012, compared with $0.03 for the third quarter of 2011. Revenues from transaction processing services for the quarter were $8.1 million, compared to $9.8 million in the third quarter of 2011. Revenues from Data Intelligence services for the quarter were $3.3 million, compared to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2011.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 million for the quarter, compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2011.

“We have been very intentional about our investments in Data Intelligence and are beginning to see results, both internally and in the marketplace,” said Shane Hammond, President and CEO of TRX, Inc. “While we continue to achieve year-over-year revenue growth in Data, we are also seeing increased interest from our targeted corporate prospects as well as early indications of enthusiasm from our global reselling partners. We are accelerating our investments in product features and industry relationships in order to drive growth.”

David Cathcart, CFO, added, “We delivered on our expectations for the third quarter, with year-over-year revenue growth across all of our technology products, even while overall revenues from transaction processing services continue to reflect the sale of our booking product in the fourth quarter of 2011.”

Based on management’s expectations, TRX reaffirmed the calendar year 2012 financial guidance provided earlier in the year as follows:

   

Revenues of $45 to $47 million

   

Adjusted EBITDA of $4.5 to $5.5 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 Company’s 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 income adjusted for the items included in the accompanying reconciliation. EBITDA provides useful information to investors about the Company’s 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 capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow provides a useful indicator about the Company’s ability to fund its operations and repay its debts.

TRX’s 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.
