TRM Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and
Full Year 2005 Financial Results
PORTLAND, Oregon, March 30, 2006 — TRM Corporation (NASDAQ: TRMM) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2005.
During Q4 2005, consolidated gross sales increased 29% to $54.5 million from $42.3 million in Q4 2004. Consolidated net sales were $26.8 million, a 1% increase compared to $26.6 million for the prior year period. The year over year increase in gross and net sales largely results from a significant increase in ATMs arising from the acquisition of the Access Cash International (“ACI”) ATM network from eFunds Corporation. While Q4 2005 year-over-year sales reflect a significantly larger ATM portfolio, the Company’s fourth quarter net sales performance reflects an increase in the ATM discount rate and a decline in photocopy net sales, as well as eFunds related fourth quarter unusual items.
Additionally, results in Q4 2005 were affected by several unusual items which amount to $13.0 million. For Q4 2005 the following unusual items affected financial results:
| • | | $5.2 million of previously deferred costs related to acquisitions, primarily charges associated with the proposed UK Travelex acquisition, were charged to expense |
|
| • | | $2.7 million of expenses related to the eFunds acquisition |
|
| • | | $4.6 million of other expenses related to Sarbanes Oxley 404 compliance, debt retirement costs, write-down in receivables and severance payments |
|
| • | | $1.6 million in fixed asset write-offs |
|
| • | | $1.1 million settlement gain from a vendor relating to a design flaw in the North American photocopier equipment |
Reflecting these items, Q4 2005 EBITDA declined to ($11.9 million) from $5.6 million in Q4 2004 and from $7.7 million in Q3 2005. Adjusted EBITDA was ($6.4 million) in Q4 2005 compared to $7.6 million in Q4 2004 (see Attachment: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation).
In Q4 2005, gross profit was $8.8 million compared to $11.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Operating loss was $15.9 million in Q4 2005 compared to operating income of $2.0 million in Q4 2004.
Fourth quarter net loss included interest expense of $3.0 million as well as the significant and unusual items described above. Net loss was $13.7 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, in Q4
2005 compared to net income of $541,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, in Q4 2004. There was an average of 16.7 million diluted shares outstanding in Q4 2005 compared to 14.1 million in Q4 2004.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company reported gross sales of $233.9 million, up 86% from $126.0 million in 2004. Net sales were $124.7 million, up 35% from $92.6 million in 2004. Gross profit was $53.6 million, up 26% from $42.4 million in 2004, and operating loss was $5.1 million compared to operating income of $13.8 million in 2004.
The Company had EBITDA of $16.4 million during 2005, compared to $24.3 million during 2004. On an adjusted basis, EBITDA was $22.6 million in 2005 compared to $26.3 million in 2004 (see Attachment: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation).
For the year ended December 31, 2005, net loss was $8.9 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share in 2004. There was an average of 14.5 million diluted shares outstanding in 2005 compared to 10.1 million for the same period in 2004.

Since the first quarter of 2005, the Company’s average transacting unit count has decreased by 6%, or by 1,209 transacting units, driven entirely by net attrition in the ACI estate. During this same period and despite the 6% decline in average transacting units, total cash withdrawals per quarter declined 3% and was offset by the growth of the legacy ATM estate, which is comprised of higher transacting units.
The increase in ATM sales and net sales in Q4 2005 compared to the prior year period reflects significantly more ATM units overall, a result of acquisitions during 2004 (in particular the eFunds ATM network acquisition) as well as organic growth in 2005. ATM operating income compared to the fourth quarter of 2004 decreased due to higher vault cash costs, increased amortization/depreciation versus the prior year and increased SG&A costs such as labor, as well
as unusual items. Included in these results are the unusual items mentioned above, specifically, eFunds costs of $2.7 million and $5.2 million related to Travelex as well as $1.3 million of asset write-offs.
The Company notes that cash losses in the ATM business improved significantly from Q3 2005 due to aggressive security measures designed to reduce theft. Cash loss from theft in Q4 2005 was comparable to cash loss from theft in Q4 2004.
For the full year 2005, ATM operations produced net sales of $90.5 million, an increase of 79% from $50.5 million in 2004. The increase in net sales reflects ATM unit acquisitions including the acquisition of the eFunds ATM portfolio and organic ATM growth. Full year 2005 ATM gross profit increased 77% to $40.6 million from $23.0 million during 2004. Full year 2005 operating income decreased 83% to $1.3 million from $7.5 million in 2004, reflecting higher vault cash costs and amortization/depreciation versus the prior year, increased theft, and increases in SG&A costs such as labor, as well as unusual items.

|
The Photocopy business experienced an improvement in sales, net sales and gross profit from Q3 2005 to Q4 2005. Net sales in Q4 2005 were $8.2 million compared to $8.0 million in Q3 2005, and gross profit was $3.3 million compared to $2.6 million in Q3 2005. This improvement reflects a $1.1 million settlement gain as well as the successful implementation of price increases at roughly 6,500 U.S. sites. Management believes that the Company will continue to implement photocopy price increases through 2006.
The decrease in net sales for Q4 2005 compared to Q4 2004 reflects lower copy volumes per unit and a lower number of transacting units.
Balance Sheet:
The Company’s long-term debt, consisting of commercial loans and capital leases, declined to $686,000 driven by the covenant violations (see recent events), which resulted in the reclassification of the outstanding long term portion of the eFunds ATM network acquisition debt into the current liabilities portion of the balance sheet. This compares to $121.8 million at the end of 2004. Largely because of the reclassification, TRM’s current liabilities increased to $193.9 million at December 31, 2005 compared to $41.7 million at December 31, 2004.
Accounts payable declined to $13.2 million at December 31, 2005 from $20.4 million at December 31, 2004 and inventories declined to $1.9 million from $7.3 million during the same period.
Shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2005 increased to $139.9 million compared to $111.7 million at the end of 2004.
Recent Events:
TRM Corporation is not in compliance with the leverage and fixed charge ratio covenants in its credit agreement with certain lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, primarily because of fourth quarter charges, including those related to costs incurred in the attempted Travelex ATM Network acquisition and also including additional charges related to the ATM business the Company acquired from eFunds Corporation. The lenders have agreed to grant relief from compliance with these covenants for a period of 90 days through June 15, 2006, during which time TRM expects to refinance the credit facility. However there can be no assurance that TRM will be able to refinance the credit facility within the time period.
