USA Technologies, Inc. Holds Annual Meeting of Shareholders

USA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAT), a leader in wireless, cashless transactions, associated financial/network services and energy management, at its Annual Meeting of Shareholders today announced that revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 (ending June 30, 2011) are expected to be $7 million. In addition, the Company announced that customers on its ePort Connect Service will reach approximately 2,000 in its fiscal fourth quarter, up from 1,050 a year ago.

Addressing shareholders at the meeting, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, George Jensen, said that “based on the April 2011 revenues of $2.372 million, you will be pleased to know we would be on an annualized total revenue run rate of $28 million. Let me put that into perspective … just five years ago, our annual total revenue was $6.4 million." Jensen further said “Even more impressive, based on license and transaction fee revenue during April and May 2011 of $3.3 million, we anticipate license and transaction fees for the fourth quarter to be $5.0 million. During the fourth quarter of the 2006 fiscal year, license and transaction fees were only $300,000. The anticipated license and transaction fees for the current fourth quarter would represent a 313 percent average annual growth rate since the fourth quarter of the 2006 fiscal year."

Near Field Communications (NFC) Solutions Discussed

At the meeting, Mr. Jensen also addressed the growing interest in Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. Mr. Jensen added, “We intend for USA Technologies to be an important leader in the acceptance of NFC payments through cellular phones and other PDAs. When it comes to the very latest NFC payment trend, we were there from the beginning, innovating and pioneering, offering customers the capacity for another unique cashless solution, this time using a cell phone. We are ideally positioned and ready to capitalize on the anticipated move to NFC payment and have worked with partners in developing NFC cell phone payment methods. As more advanced contactless and NFC payment methods emerge, and bring greater operator and consumer convenience, efficiency and security, we believe that mobile commerce will grow to mainstream usage."
