TRM Announces Financial Results

Portland, Oregon: 29 April 2004 — TRM Corporation (NASDAQ: TRMM) today reported net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 of $2.5 million (or $.31 per share) compared to a net income of $753,000 (or $.11 per share) for the same period in 2003, an increase of $1.8 million.  Earnings per share are reported on a fully diluted basis and before preferred dividends.  During the first quarter 2004, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the payment of a dividend for the first quarter of 2004 in the amount of $375,000 related to its preferred stock, resulting in diluted net income available to common shareholders of $.26 per share for the first quarter, as compared to $.05 per share for the same period in 2003.

Net sales for the quarter grew to $21.0 million, representing an increase of $2.3 million (or 12.5%) when compared to the first quarter of 2003.  The increase in net sales for the quarter is attributable to ATM unit expansion, higher currency exchange rates for sales by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, and higher pricing throughout the Company’s ATM and photocopy networks. ATM operations produced net sales of $9.6 million, including $144,000 in ATM machine sales, during the first quarter of 2004, representing an increase of $2.2 million (or 30.0%) as compared to the same period in the prior year.  Photocopy net sales were $11.4 million for the first quarter of 2004, up from $10.7 million (or 6.7%) during the same quarter of 2003 as a result of ongoing price increases initiated during 2003.  Software development net sales for the quarter were $14,000.

Operating income increased to $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2004 as compared to operating income of $1.7 million for the same period in 2003.  Shareholder equity increased $7.3 million from year end 2003 to $56.2 million, an increase of 15.0%.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46 “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”) in the fourth quarter of 2003.  FIN 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities.  Accordingly, the Company has consolidated the TRM Inventory Funding Trust (the “Trust”), which provides vault cash for its ATM network, into its financial statements at December 31, 2003.  The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 includes long-term assets of $31.4 million, long-term liabilities of $29.9 million, and minority interest of $1.5 million relating to the Trust with no effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Effective March 31, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Inkas Financial Corp. Ltd. (“Inkas”), an independent ATM company with 450 sites.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and most of the purchase price was allocated to intangible assets.  The results of operations of Inkas will be included in the Company’s consolidated results of

1

operations starting in the second quarter of 2004, and are expected to be immediately accretive to earnings.

At March 31, 2004 (prior to the Inkas acquisition), the Company’s ATM network consisted of 3,522 revenue-generating machines deployed throughout the United Kingdom and United States, which represents an increase of 422 ATM machines when compared to the same date in 2003 (an increase of 13.6%).  The Company had 25,877 revenue-generating photocopiers at March 31, 2004, a decrease of 2,156 units (or 7.7%) as compared to the same date in 2003, due primarily to elimination of unprofitable locations.
