Radiant Systems, Inc. Reports Record First Quarter Results

Continued strong growth results in adjusted earnings of $.08 per diluted share

ATLANTA—(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 28, 2005—Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS—News), a leading provider of innovative technology for the hospitality, petroleum and convenience retail and entertainment industries, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2005.

Summary financial results for the first quarter of 2005 are as follows:

• Total revenues for the period were $37.3 million, an increase of 39 percent over revenues of $26.8 million for the same period in 2004.

• Net income before discontinued operations for the period was $1.2 million, or approximately $0.04 per diluted share, an improvement of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to the same period in 2004.

• Net income for the period was $1.2 million, or approximately $0.04 per diluted share, a decrease of $0.8 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to the same period in 2004.

• Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) from continuing operations for the period, which excludes amortization of acquisition related intangible assets and non-recurring charges, was $2.5 million or $0.08 per diluted share, an increase of $2.4 million or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to the same period in 2004.

John Heyman, the Company’s chief executive officer commented, “Continued strong growth in our hospitality business mitigated the historical seasonality we see in our other businesses and helped drive higher than expected results in the quarter. Specifically, our pipeline of larger, direct account business across the company continued to grow and become more qualified. Our products are producing demonstrable value for our customers. This value proposition has resulted in significant wins for our company and is helping encourage customers to accelerate implementations, allowing us to close and deliver on more direct business than planned during the quarter. Additionally, our indirect channel business continued to be strong and perform ahead of plan driven by excellent execution by our strong community of channel partners.”

Mark Haidet, the Company’s chief financial officer commented, “The business continues to track against our long term model. We have demonstrated our ability to grow while better leveraging our cost structure and strengthening our balance sheet. Even with 39

percent revenue growth, our operating expense remained flat resulting in adjusted operating margin of 8% compared to 1% in the same period of 2004. We generated more than $5.1 million of free cash flow during the first quarter and improved working capital by $1 million. In addition, we reduced our debt by $2.8 million during the period.”

Haidet added, “The strength of the first quarter has increased our visibility and allowed us to increase the low end of our earnings guidance for 2005.”

The Company provided guidance for the second quarter of 2005 with a revenue range of $36 million to $38 million and adjusted earnings of $0.06 to $0.08 per diluted share. The company updated its previous adjusted earnings guidance for the year from a range of $.30 to $.38 to a range of $.32 to $.38 per diluted share. The revenue range remains at $155 million to $160 million.

On January 31, 2004 the Company completed the disposition of its Enterprise Software Systems segment. The historical financial statements have been reported with the Enterprise Software Systems segment included in discontinued operations. Additionally, on January 12, 2004 the Company completed its acquisition of Aloha Technologies (“Aloha”). All Aloha operations are included in the Company’s 2004 financial statements as of the date of the acquisition.

The Company provides adjusted net income/(loss) and adjusted net income/(loss) per share in this press release as additional information relating to the Company’s operating results. The measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting practices (“GAAP”) and may be different from adjusted net income measures used by other companies. Net income/(loss) has been adjusted to exclude amortization of acquisition related intangible assets and non-recurring charges. The Company believes that this non-GAAP presentation provides useful information to investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and valuable insight into the Company’s ongoing operations and earnings power.

Radiant will hold its first quarter 2005 conference call today at approximately 5 p.m. Eastern Time. This call is being webcast by CCBN and can be accessed at Radiant’s web site at http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=115271&p=irol-irhome.
