INTRADO ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2003 RESULTS
Cash Flow of $2.6 million, Earnings Per Diluted Share of $0.07 on Total
Revenue of $29.9 million, up 24% from 2002
April 24, 2003 (Longmont, Colo.) — Intrado Inc. (NASDAQ: TRDO), the nation’s leading provider of solutions that manage and deliver mission-critical information for telecommunications providers and public safety organizations, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2003.
• For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company reported revenue of $29.9 million, up 24% from $24.2 million in the first quarter last year.
• Net income for the first quarter of 2003 was $1.1 million, or $0.07 per fully diluted share, compared to $313,000, or $0.02 per fully diluted share, for the same period in 2002, a 250% increase. The first quarter 2003 net income includes tax expense of $629,000, a 35.5% effective tax rate.
• Cash flow for the first quarter was $2.6 million, compared to a negative $4.5 million for the same period in 2002.
• Free cash flow (cash from operations, less cash used in investing activities) for the first quarter of 2003 was $4.2 million, compared to a negative $3.7 million for the same period in 2002.
• Intrado reiterates full year 2003 guidance as previously released in December 2002.
“We delivered solid year-over-year growth in revenue, net income and cash flow this quarter” said George Heinrichs, President and Chief Executive Officer of Intrado. “Our underlying business model performed well as we continue to build long-term value through our new service offerings. These results are excellent indicators of our ability to build on the positive earnings and cash flow momentum we established last year. We believe that free cash flow, along with comparable cash flow measurements, provides an important gauge of our ability to retire debt and invest in new business opportunities.”
“Our core wireline and wireless business units posted favorable results reflecting the underlying strength of both our recurring and non-recurring revenue streams and we are on plan for the first half of the year. During the first quarter, we saw growing acceptance of our new service offerings, as evidenced by our recent contract announcements. These important contract wins for Intrado demonstrate the contributions these offerings will make to Intrado’s future revenue streams,” concluded Heinrichs.
Recent Highlights
• Intrado announced a partnership with Vonage, the leading provider of digital telephone service, that will allow emergency calls to be handled over a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network. Intrado’s VoIP Emergency Calling Service, coupled with Vonage’s offering, will provide a highly reliable solution that interfaces to the Public Switched Telephone Network.
• Arapahoe County, Colorado signed an agreement to implement Intrado’s IntelliCastSM Target Notification service, thereby providing the means to rapidly notify and instruct its 130,000 citizens in emergencies.
• Intrado established a relationship with Microsoft’s MapPoint Business Unit and expanded our affiliation with Mobilaris, a premier provider of middleware for location-based services, to develop and deliver location intelligence, community information, entertainment, and select business enterprise applications to wireless carriers.
• The City of New Orleans adopted IntelliCast Target Notification as part of its Safe City initiative, acknowledging the value of IntelliCast for notifying and evacuating residents during hurricanes and adding approximately 465,000 lines to the service offering.
• VarTec Telecom, Inc., a leading provider of local and long distance service, has signed a contract for IntelliBaseSM Billing Name and Address direct services, an extension of IntelliBase NRLLDB.
• Intrado added approximately 5 million new telephone numbers to the IntelliBase NRLLDB by signing several competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) as input providers. IntelliBase NRLLDB now houses more than 46% of CLEC Access Lines.
Business Unit Performance Summary
The Company makes a continuous effort to realize incremental operating efficiencies and has recently realigned its internal operating units by aggregating similar service offerings under common supervision. As a result of these efforts, the Company has condensed its operating segments into three business units: Wireline, Wireless and New Markets. Wireline includes the former ILEC and CLEC Business Units, the wireline portion of the former Direct Business Unit and the Call Handling Products division. Wireless continues to include services and products related to wireless carriers. New Markets, which carries responsibility for services and products that are in the early stages of development or market penetration, currently includes IntelliCastSM and IntelliBaseSM NRLLDB.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2003, for segment financial reporting purposes, the Company will begin allocating expenses from Corporate support groups to Wireline, Wireless and New Markets based on the percentage of total company revenue each unit generates in the reported period. The Company believes this change will improve segment financial reporting in that operating income or loss generated and reported at each unit will be fully burdened with all operating expenses of the Company. The expenses allocated from Corporate will be shown as a separate line item below direct and indirect costs.
Beginning with the most recent fiscal quarter, ending March 31, 2003, formal segment financial results are reported consistent with realigned operations.
Wireline: Revenue for Wireline increased to $20.9 million in the first quarter of 2003, up 8.9% from $19.2 million in the first quarter of 2002.
Wireless: Wireless revenue for the first quarter of 2003 grew 76% to $8.6 million, up from $4.9 million in the first quarter of 2002.
New Markets: New Markets revenue increased 137%, from $157,000 for the first quarter of 2002 to $372,000 in the first quarter of 2003.
Indirect Overhead Expenses: Total indirect overhead expenses increased to $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2003, up 5% from $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2002.
Intrado finished the quarter with $15.5 million in cash, up $2.6 million from $12.9 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in cash was primarily a function of improvements in free cash flow, including net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of $6.6 million, offset by ongoing investments in software development projects of $1.4 million and capital expenditures of $0.9 million.
2
As of March 31, 2003, Intrado recorded $5.3 million in mandatorily redeemable preferred stock related to the acquisition of Lucent Public Safety Systems in 2001. The Company expects to record a final additional preferred stock obligation of at least $7.0 million during the second quarter of 2003. The preferred stock will be redeemed in cash over the next 27 months.
Days sales outstanding (DSOs) were 59 at March 31, 2003. (DSOs equal gross accounts receivable, divided by the quotient of total quarterly revenue divided by 90 days).
As of March 31, 2003, Intrado had $4.7 million available under its revolving line of credit with GE Capital and an additional $3.0 million under existing capital lease facilities.
Second Quarter 2003 Outlook
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially from current expectations.
Intrado’s expectations for second quarter 2003 revenue range between $29.1 million and $30.5 million, reflecting steady improvements in Wireless performance, moderately slower than anticipated penetration of New Markets services and Wireline’s delivery and realization of approximately $1.2 million in revenue in the first quarter of 2003 for licensed products that were originally planned for delivery in the second quarter of 2003.
Our second quarter 2003 expectations for net income range between $1.3 and $2.0 million, with an estimated effective tax rate of 35.5%. On a diluted basis, second quarter 2003 earnings per share is expected to range between $0.09 and $0.13 per share on a projected share base of 16.5 million.
Intrado anticipates that free cash flow will range between $2.3 million and $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2003, consisting of net cash provided by operating activities between $5.0 million and $6.0 million less estimated capital expenditures of $1.4 million and estimated capitalized software development costs of $1.3 million. Additions to cash balances in the second quarter are estimated to range between nil and $1.0 million.
Additionally, Intrado provides the following performance guidance for each of its three business units and for indirect overhead expenses:
Wireline: Expectations for second quarter 2003 revenue range between $19.3 and $20.2 million. Direct costs and expenses are estimated to be approximately $9.5 million.
Wireless: Outlook for second quarter revenue ranges between $9.1 and $9.5 million. Direct costs and expenses are estimated to be approximately $4.9 million.
New Markets: Outlook for second quarter revenue is approximately $0.7 million to $0.8 million. Direct costs and expenses are estimated to be approximately $1.2 million.
Indirect Overhead Expenses: Intrado expects second quarter 2003 sales and marketing, general and administrative and research and development costs and expenses to be approximately $4.4 million, $6.3 million and $600,000, respectively.
Intrado also reaffirmed full-year 2003 guidance as previously announced on December 20, 2002.

Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
Statements in this announcement that are not historical facts are hereby identified as forward-looking statements for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this announcement. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements included in this announcement are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of senior management. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot promise that they will turn out to be correct. Our actual results could be materially different from our expectations due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including the following:
• Our reliance on large contracts from a limited number of significant telecommunications customers and, especially in light of recent competitive pressures in the telecommunications industry, their ability to pay for our services;
• Fluctuations in quarterly operating results, including those that are due to adverse trends in the telecommunications industry, bankruptcy filings by WorldCom and other customers, and other factors that are beyond our control;
• Whether our investments in research and development and capitalized software will expand our service offerings and prove to be economically viable;
4
• Our ability to retain key executives, particularly George K. Heinrichs, our co-founder, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board;
• Competition in service, price and technological innovation from entities with substantially greater resources than us;
• Our ability to integrate businesses and assets that we may acquire;
• Constraints on our sales and marketing channels due to the fact that many of our customers compete with each other;
• Our ability to accurately predict and recoup the large amount of up-front expenditures necessary to serve new customers and possible delays in sales cycles;
• Our ability to expand our services beyond our traditional business and into the highly competitive data management industry, such as our proposed IntelliBaseSM National Repository Line Level Database and IntelliCastSM Target Notification services;
• The unpredictable rate of adoption of wireless 9-1-1 services, including further delays in the Federal Communications Commission’s mandated deployment of Phase I and Phase II wireless location services;
• The potential for liability claims, including product liability claims relating to our software;
• Technical difficulties and network downtime, including those caused by sabotage or unauthorized access to our systems;
• Developments in telecommunications regulation and the unpredictable manner in which existing or new legislation and regulation may be applied to our business; and
• Developments in governance, accounting and financial regulation and their unpredictable impact on general and administrative expenses.
This list is intended to identify some of the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this announcement. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of all risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed risk factors included in our SEC filings. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this announcement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
