Global Traffic Network, Inc. Reports Fiscal Third Quarter 2011 Operating Results

Quarterly Revenue Increases 11% to $26.8 million
Year to Date Adjusted Operating Income Up 91%

New York, NY, May 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 third quarter ended March 31, 2011.

The Company’s revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $26.8 million, an increase of 11% from $24.1 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Revenue from the Company’s Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom operations were up 7%, 11% and 19%, respectively, from the fiscal third quarter of 2010. When measured in local currencies, Canadian and United Kingdom revenues increased 6% and 16%, respectively compared to the prior year quarter while Australian revenues declined 4%. Consolidated revenue for third fiscal quarter 2010 was very strong, up 93% from the previous fiscal year, making for a difficult comp in the current year quarter.

Adjusted Operating Income decreased from $2.7 million for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2010 to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. The Company defines Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) as net operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization expense. The decrease mainly pertains to the Company’s Australia operations which suffered a decrease in revenues in local currency, which when combined with the Company’s primarily fixed cost business model led to a decrease in Adjusting Operating Income despite the consolidated revenue increase. 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. The increase in third quarter fiscal 2010 Adjusted Operating Income had been one of the largest in Company history, increasing from a significant Adjusted Operating Loss for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $0.2 million compared to net income of $0.5 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 nine months ended March 31, 2011 was $83.9 million, an increase of 20% from $70.1 million reported for the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Revenue from the Company’s Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom operations were up 18%, 62% and 11%, respectively, from the nine month period ended March 31, 2010. When measured in

local currencies, Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom revenues increased 8%, 55% and 13%, respectively compared to the prior year nine month period.

Adjusted Operating Income increased $6.0 million to $12.6 million for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to $6.6 million for the comparable period ended March 31, 2010. Adjusted Operating Income includes the impact of non-cash compensation from the granting of stock options and restricted stock which was $1.0 million for the current period compared to $0.9 million for the year ago period.

Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was $4.9 million compared to net income of $0.3 million in the year ago period. 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 nine months ended March 31, 2010. Included in the United Kingdom current results were $2.0 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 believe the decrease in Adjusted Operating Income this quarter is a temporary pause in our continued growth. Over the previous five quarters our trailing twelve month Adjusted Operating Income grew from $2.3 million to $15.9 million. For the nine month period ended March 31, our Adjusted Operating Income has almost doubled to $12.6 million from $6.6 million last year. Looking to the current quarter, we believe that the last year comparable is not as challenging as was third quarter 2010. We are off to a good start as revenue for April was strong, as all of our markets were up both in U.S. dollars and their local currencies. Canada’s bookings have already exceeded last quarter and the previous year finish so we expect a nice increase out of this market and anticipate Adjusted Operating Income being positive for the quarter. In addition, foreign currency exchange rates continue to have a positive impact on our consolidated results and based on the exchange rates to date appear poised to be a material benefit in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 as well.”

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 80 thousand users and had over 700 thousand traffic and weather alert messages received by these subscribers in the month of April alone. We are in the process of attempting to secure charter advertisers for the service and expect to begin to generate revenue shortly.”

Mr. Yde concluded, “We anticipate solid growth this quarter and a strong finish to the fiscal year. Our Company continues to generate strong free cash flow and maintain a rock solid balance sheet which has no debt and almost $2.00 per share in cash. We continue to be well positioned in the advertising market place, with no significant direct competitors, an extremely effective product and a seasoned, experienced sales staff.”

Fourth Fiscal Quarter 2011 Outlook

To date, for the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter ending June 30, 2011, revenue reflected in the Company’s internal sales reports is higher compared to the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2010 at the same date, primarily due to a weakening of the U.S. dollar. The impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, all other things being equal, is to increase the reported revenues and expenses when local currency financial statements are translated into financial statements reported in U.S. dollars compared to a neutral exchange rate. Should foreign exchange rates and revenues from the Company’s consolidated operations end fiscal fourth quarter 2011 consistent with the exchange rates to date and current sales pacings, the Company anticipates revenues, Adjusted Operating Income and net income will exceed the fiscal fourth quarter ended June 30, 2010. However, a significant portion of our anticipated revenue has not yet been booked and softness in May and/or June’s results could cause our actual performance to be less than anticipated.

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 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), 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 nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
