TRM Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2006 Financial Results

PORTLAND, Oregon, August 3, 2006 — TRM Corporation (NASDAQ: TRMM) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

During Q2 2006 consolidated sales were $52.8 million, 2% greater than $51.9 million in Q1 2006 and 12% less than sales of $60.1 million in Q2 2005. Compared to Q1 2006, sales reflect reduced attrition rates and increased withdrawal transactions in the ATM business.

Consolidated net sales were $27.5 million in Q2 2006, a 2% decrease from $28.1 million in Q1 2006, and a 14% decrease from $32.1 million in the prior year period. The year over year decline in net sales reflects a net decline in ATM unit count and cash withdrawals in the ATM business, as well as a decline in the average number of photocopies per machine.

Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2006 was $6.8 million compared to adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2006 of $5.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA in Q2 2006 includes the gain of $2.2 million related to the sale of TRM Copy Centres (U.K.) Limited. (See Attachment: Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation).

In Q2 2006, gross profit was $9.5 million, a sequential decline from $11.5 million during Q1 2006, and compared to $15.9 million in Q2 2005. The Company reported an operating loss of $2.2 million in Q2 2006, compared to operating income of $226,000 in Q1 2006 and compared to operating income of $5.1 million in Q2 2005.

Net loss was $4.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share in Q2 2006, compared to a net loss of $1.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in Q1 2006, and compared to net income of $2.9 million, or $0.19 per diluted share in Q2 2005.

Interest expense increased to $3.6 million in Q2 2006 from $2.3 million in Q1 2006 and from $2.7 million in Q2 2005. The increase reflects the Company’s debt refinancing in Q2 2006.

TRM Corporation had 17.0 million diluted shares outstanding in Q2 2006 compared to 14.8 million in Q2 2005.

Transaction based sales per unit per month	$	768		$	771			0	%	$	719			7	%

On a sequential basis from Q1 2006 to Q2 2006, ATM sales increased 1% to $44.2 million from $43.8 million. Additionally, withdrawal transactions per unit per month increased 6%, transaction based sales per unit per month increased 7%, and total withdrawals increased 4%. This sequential improvement in volume reflects consumers’ continued demand for cash at TRM ATMs, despite a net decline in unit count.

These results also reflect some success in the Company’s efforts to reduce the rate of ATM attrition during the quarter. More specifically, attrition contributed to a unit decline of 361 average transacting terminals in Q2 2006, down from a unit decline of 941 average transacting terminals in Q1 2006, a 62% improvement.

Net sales declined sequentially to $20.4 million in Q2 2006 from $21.3 million in Q1 2006, primarily reflecting a U.S.-based customer conversion to the merchant owned program, which commands a higher discount rate.

When compared to Q1 2006, gross profit in Q2 2006 primarily reflects the increasing cost of vault cash and armored car costs, as the Company provides cash inventory to a growing number of ATM locations.

Additionally, the Company announced today that its German subsidiary, TRM ATM Deutschland GmbH, has signed a contract to provide exclusive cash machine services at up to

334 German military barracks over the following 12 months. Site by site viability assessments are now underway with the first installations expected within two months.

* All quarters exclude results of TRM Copy Centres (U.K.) Limited

On a sequential basis from Q1 2006, Photocopy sales and net sales improved 6% and 4%, respectively. Results reflect increases in sales per copy and sales per unit per month, driven by income tax seasonality and increased usage despite fewer billed photocopiers. TRM Corporation continues to optimize the Company’s photocopy unit base to include higher quality locations and to remove units that generate comparatively lower volume, revenue and profitability.

Gross profit and operating income also improved in Q2 2006 from Q1 2006. Gross profit increased 35% to $2.3 million from $1.7 million during this period, and operating income was $0.2 million compared to an operating loss of $0.4 million. This improvement reflects continued volume per unit enhancement and successful selective price increases.

On June 28, 2006, the Company completed the sale of TRM Copy Centres (U.K.) Limited, TRM’s wholly-owned UK photocopier subsidiary, to Digital 4 Convenience PLC, a U.K.-based operator of retail photocopiers. TRM Copy Centres (U.K.) Limited included approximately 2,500 photocopier units and represented approximately 10% of the TRM photocopier units in stores worldwide. The sale allows the Company’s entire U.K. operation to focus solely on the ATM business and is part of an overall effort to increase shareholder value across the organization. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had 20,338 photocopy units throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Balance Sheet

On June 6, 2006, TRM Corporation refinanced its principal indebtedness of $109.5 million. Except for required principal payments due within one year, the term loan portion of the new facility was reclassified as long term debt as reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The required annual debt service payments due under the refinanced loan facility declined to $9.8 million from roughly $16.2 million, at current interest rates.

Following the refinancing of the Company’s principal indebtedness, TRM Corporation’s syndicated loans are no longer classified as current liabilities.

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million at June 30, 2006 and cash of $4.5 million held by Bank of America as collateral for cash obligations under a treasury management program. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $9.7 million at December 31, 2005. The Company had net working capital of $7.8 million at June 30, 2006 compared to a net working capital deficit of $89.2 million at December 31, 2005.

Forward Looking Guidance

TRM Corporation is withdrawing its previously announced forward looking guidance of $220.0 million in sales and $26.0-$30.0 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2006.

The Company will make its best efforts to provide investors with forward looking guidance in the future.
