BELLEVUE, Wash., May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radiant Logistics, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: RLGT) , a domestic and international freight forwarding and logistics services company, today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, Radiant reported net income of $87,000 on $25.8 million of revenues, or $0.00 per basic and fully diluted share. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company reported net income of $24,000 on $19.4 million of revenues, or $0.00 per basic and fully diluted share.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, Radiant reported net income of $1,499,000 on $74.4 million of revenues, or $0.04 per basic and fully diluted share including net non-recurring income of $1,266,000 resulting from a reduction in estimate of liabilities assumed in the Company's acquisition of Airgroup. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007, the Company reported net income of $248,000 on $52.2 million of revenues, or $0.01 per basic and fully diluted share.

The Company also reported adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation amortization), of $495,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to an adjusted EBITDA of $328,000 for the comparable prior year period.

The Company also reported adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation amortization), excluding the non-recurring items, of $1,416,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to adjusted EBITDA of $1,062,000 for the comparable prior year period. In December of 2007, the Company recognized a total of $1,918,000 in non-recurring income in connection with a reduction of its estimate of liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Airgroup and related tax indemnities net of $652,000 in corresponding tax expense. This income is not included in our adjusted EBITDA calculation for the nine months ending March 31, 2008. A reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure appears at the end of this release.

"We remain very pleased with our continued revenue growth and our improved profitability," said Bohn Crain, Chairman and CEO. "For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, revenues increased to $25.8 million compared to $19.4 million, a 32.9% improvement from the comparable prior period and net transportation revenues increased to $9.5 million from $7.1 million, a 33.5% improvement from the comparable prior period. This positive trend also continued in terms of profitability with our adjusted EBITDA improving 50.9% over the comparable prior year period to $495,000."

Crain continued, "In addition to our efforts to drive organic growth, we also remain very active in exploring potential acquisition opportunities. Through this process we have identified and are in conversations with a select number of potential partners that could materially accelerate our growth and I

look forward to updating you on our progress over the course of 2008 as these opportunities continue to develop."

Supplemental Pro Forma Information

We believe that supplemental disclosure of our adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for stock-based compensation and other non-cash costs is a useful measure for investors because it eliminates the effect of certain non-cash costs and provides an important metric for our business. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA amounts to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 is shown below:

RADIANT LOGISTICS, INC.
Reconciliation of EBITDA to Net Income and Net Cash Provided By (Used In)
Operating Activities
(UNAUDITED)

As used in this report, adjusted EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for stock-based compensation and other non-cash charges. We believe that adjusted EBITDA, as presented, represents a useful method of assessing the performance of our operating activities, as it reflects our earnings trends without the impact of certain non-cash charges. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by our creditors in assessing debt covenant compliance. We understand that although securities analysts frequently use EBITDA in their evaluation of companies, it is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation. EBITDA is not intended as an alternative to cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of liquidity, as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance, nor as an alternative to any other measure of performance in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The following is a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to both net income and cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities:
