KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE — August 14, 2007 — IdleAire Technologies Corporation (IdleAire), the leading provider of ATE Advanced Travel Center Electrification® (“ATE”) services to the long-haul trucking industry, today announced improved operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, including a 228% increase in revenue from the second quarter in 2006 to $8.4 million, and a 329% increase in usage to 3.4 million hours used.
Value Proposition
“IdleAire’s value proposition has become even more important to the nation’s long-haul trucking fleets and drivers who are experiencing freight volume slow-downs as a result of the downturn in residential construction, continued high driver turnover/shortage and rising diesel fuel prices,” said Mike Crabtree, IdleAire Chairman, President and CEO. “Our comprehensive, ‘win-win-win’ solutions substantially reduce fleet operating costs, promote driver wellness, comfort and stress reduction by providing thermostatically controlled, clean, filtered HVAC without noise or vibration and enhanced communications and entertainment options; and eliminate air pollution from an idling diesel engine; and conserve fossil fuel energy resources.”
Network Deployment
During the second quarter, IdleAire installed its ATE systems at 10 new locations and added 598 ATE-equipped parking spaces in GA, MN, ND, NJ, NV, NY, TN, TX, UT and VA. As of June 30, 2007, IdleAire was operating 118 sites and 7,754 ATE-equipped parking spaces in 33 states. Today, we are operating 124 sites in 33 states with a total of 8,079 ATE-equipped parking spaces.
Utilization Initiatives and Operating Results
Total ATE system hourly usage increased 329% to 3.4 million hours in the second quarter of 2007 from 795,600 hours in the second quarter of 2006. We believe that this growth is consistent with (i) network expansion — the net addition of 81 sites and 5,810 average ATE-equipped spaces, (ii) site maturity — only 1,346 of the 7,393 average ATE-equipped spaces have an operating history of 12 months or more (the “core comp” sites), (iii) site staff training, (iv) fleet sales, (v) strategically-timed sales and marketing initiatives around our “life improved” theme, and (vi) warmer summer weather.
Hourly usage at “core comp” sites, our key “same store” sales metric increased 71% from 489,600 hours used (26.3% occupancy on a 24 hour basis) during the second quarter of 2006 to 837,100 hours used (28.4% occupancy) during the second quarter of 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, IdleAire provided approximately 6 million hours of usage. IdleAire estimated that it has eliminated more than 139 million pounds of air pollution and conserved over 5.9 million gallons of diesel.
Fleet pay hours, a key demand-side performance metric, increased 470% — from 240,200 hours billed (30.5% of the total) for the second quarter 2006 to 1,370,000 hours billed (40.1% of the total) for the second quarter 2007.
Financial Results
Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $8.4 million, a 228% increase over net revenues of $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $14.9 million, a 253% increase over net revenues of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the average number of ATE-equipped spaces available for rent increased from 1,583 spaces to 7,393 spaces and total hours of usage increased from 0.8 million hours to 3.4 million hours. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, the average number of ATE-equipped spaces available for rent increased from 1,474 spaces to 7,146 spaces and total hours of usage increased from 1.3 million hours to 6.0 million hours.
Operating expenses increased $11.4 million or 94%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, due principally to the “net” addition of 81 new sites and increased corporate overhead expenses. Similarly, operating expenses increased $24.9 million or 125% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. However, operating expenses as a percent of net revenues decreased significantly, principally due to economies of scale achieved as a result of our network expansion and the maturing of our sites.
Operating loss and net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were $15.0 million and $22.5 million, respectively, compared to an operating loss and net loss of $9.5 million and $13.9 million, respectively for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Operating loss and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $29.9 million and $44.4 million, respectively, compared to an operating loss and net loss of $15.7 million and $25.8 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
As of June 30, 2007, we had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $35.4 million available for network expansion and to fund interim operating losses. Additionally, we had $13.1 million of deposits with suppliers and $25.7 million in work-in-process inventory available for network expansion.
As previously disclosed, we expect to incur operating and net losses for the near future as we continue our deployment, enhance our customer support, invest in marketing and sales strategies to drive top-line growth and improve our financial and operational reporting capabilities.
