DALLAS - July 29, 2008 - Entrust, Inc. [Nasdaq: ENTU], a world leader in securing digital identities and information, today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008.

"I am pleased with our first half performance in what is a challenging business environment," said Bill Conner, Entrust chairman, president and chief executive officer. "While we are disappointed in our lower than expected revenue for the quarter, we were able to meet the low end of our guidance with an increase in our first half revenue by three percent, our profitability by $4.1 million or $0.06 per share, and to increase our cash position by nearly $5.0 million from the end of 2007."

Revenue for the second quarter was $24.5 million, flat to Q2 2007. Revenues in the quarter were flat due to lower transaction volumes, timing of deals and lower professional services. On the positive side, the company increased revenue in Risk Based Authentication, Government and the company's subscription businesses from a year ago. Deferred revenue increased in the quarter to approximately $29.3 million, an increase of approximately $800 thousand, from $28.5 million at Q2, 2007.

Conner added, "In the first half of 2008, we made solid progress on Risk Based Authentication, where we delivered 126 percent growth. Our largest transaction in the second quarter was with DnB Nor, Norway's largest financial services group, which selected Entrust for real-time fraud monitoring. In Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), we were awarded our first Extended Access Control passport order from a large EU country. Our PKI software-as-a-service products continued to be strong led by our SSL certificate business, which for the first half of the year was up 37 percent. We also are seeing increased momentum with business development partners and channels to market these offerings."

Entrust recorded a Q2, 2008 net loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, of $422 thousand, or $0.01 per share, compared to Q2, 2007 net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.05 per share. On a non-GAAP basis the company recorded a profit of $480 thousand, or $0.01 per share, compared to Q2, 2007 loss of $1.5 million, or $0.02 per share. The non-GAAP figures exclude amortization of purchased intangibles and stock-option based compensation expense. See the financial table below reconciling these non-GAAP figures to GAAP.

"In the second quarter, we continued to make progress on our financial model. We increased our subscription revenues to 56 percent of our quarterly revenues; we increased deferred revenue by $800 thousand, we increased our cash and cash equivalents by $2.6 million; and we reduced total expenses by eight percent or $2.3 million from the first quarter. Our lower expense base, combined with having booked over $4 million of third quarter product revenue in July, has us well positioned to make our full year Non-GAAP earnings target of 10 cents per share and Non-GAAP cash flow from operations of over $10.0 million," said David Wagner, Entrust senior vice president and chief financial officer.

The company ended Q2, 2008 with approximately $25.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt.

Financial Outlook:

Entrust is maintaining its second half 2008 outlook of total revenue of between $54.0 million to $58.0 million.

For the full year 2008, Entrust is targeting a net income in accordance with GAAP of approximately $0.03 per share. On a non-GAAP basis, the company is targeting a full year profit of $0.10 per share. These net income targets are in line with the company's prior 2008 targets. For the second half of 2008 the full year guidance translates to a net income in accordance with GAAP of approximately $0.05 per share and on a non-GAAP basis a profit of $0.08 per share. The company's Q3, 2008, total expenses on a non-GAAP basis are expected to be approximately $24.5 million. The Company expects to be cash flow positive from operations adjusted to exclude the net change in accrued restructuring charges for the full year by over $10.0 million. See the financial table below reconciling the non-GAAP figures to GAAP.

Q2 Business and Financial Metrics:

Revenue of $24.5 million consisted of 37% product revenue ($9.0 million) and 63% services and maintenance revenue ($15.5 million). The top five product transactions accounted for 9% of Q2, 2008 revenues. There were no product transactions over $1 million in Q2, 2008.

Revenue from subscription based product and services accounted for 56% of total revenue for Q2, 2008, up from 51% in Q2, 2007 and Q1, 2008.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) products accounted for $6.2 million, or 68% of product revenue, a decrease of 3% from $6.4 million in Q2, 2007.

Technology and Industry Highlights:

Entrust, Inc. and the Acxiom Corporation signed an agreement for joint sales and marketing of an integrated consumer verification and authentication solution. Acxiom is now a member of the Entrust TrustedPartner Program and will resell Entrust's risk-based authentication solution, which includes multifactor authentication, fraud detection and transaction-monitoring capabilities. Acxiom also will join Entrust's Open Fraud Intelligence Network (OFIN), which consolidates and shares key fraud behavior patterns and data among network participants to help fight online fraud. Entrust will integrate Acxiom's real-time consumer verification capabilities with its portfolio and jointly sell the solution with Acxiom.

Entrust announced that the Taiwanese government selected Entrust PKI to help authenticate sensitive biometric information stored on machine readable travel documents (MRTDs) - also known as ePassports - which will be available to nearly 23 million citizens by the end of 2008.

Kotak Securities Limited, the stock broking arm of the Kotak Mahindra group, announced the implementation of Entrust IdentityGuard for its customers. Kotak's Security Key solution, powered by Entrust, uses the concept of a dual-password system. It is a user-friendly product enabling risk-based authentication that allows Kotak Securities to apply an appropriate level of security and reduces the chances of fraudulent practices.

A large new customer in Asia-Pacific chose Entrust's managed public key infrastructure (PKI) solution to cost effectively enable digital signatures and verification to ensure the integrity of the documents it exchanged with businesses. Using the managed PKI service, businesses can leverage digital certificates for authentication, digital signatures and encryption purposes to enable secure e-mail, file and folder encryption, authenticated remote access (VPN) and secure electronic forms and PDFs. Entrust adds value to each of these applications with security that is simple to deploy and transparent to use.

Banco Security leveraged the Entrust IdentityGuard versatile authentication platform's grid card solution to help verify the identities of more than 17,600 customers. Banco Security has nine offices in Santiago, Chile, four regional branches, but predominantly provides its services through electronic channels, which made the need for strong multifactor authentication a priority.

India's leading credit rating, research, risk and policy advisory company, CRISIL, selected the Entrust IdentityGuard versatile authentication platform and one-time-passcode (OTP) tokens to enable secure communication with their mobile workforce.

SC Magazine, a well-respected IT security publication, gave Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server five stars and a "Recommended" rating in their e-mail security group test, which featured side-by-side comparisons of the industry's leading e-mail security solutions.

Entrust was chosen for Hydro Ottawa's "Companies for Conservation" award in June 2008. Between August of 2006 and January of 2007, Entrust cut power use by more than 40 percent - from more than 5 million kilowatt hours per year to less than 3 million. The 2 million kilowatt hours now being conserved annually by Entrust is enough energy to power roughly 222 homes for an entire year. Several initiatives contributed to this achievement.

Entrust announced its inclusion to the Russell 3000 Index. The addition to the Russell 3000 Index, which remains in place for one fiscal year, also includes Entrust in additional Russell indexes. The index is a trusted, proven barometer for businesses success, stock growth and investment forecasting for U.S.-based companies.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the financial results that are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, Entrust's management prepares and uses non-GAAP financial measures for many of its internal financial, operating and planning reports. The company's management believes that by excluding charges such as the purchased intangibles amortization in cost of goods sold, the amortization of purchased intangible assets in operating expenses, stock compensation expense, restructuring charges and write down of strategic investments from its GAAP-based results, these non-GAAP financial measures are more likely to facilitate investors' understanding of the company's ongoing business operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate comparisons to the operating results of the company's competitors and provide investors with greater transparency with respect to the supplemental information used by management in its operational and financial decision making.
The non-GAAP measures are included to provide investors with supplemental information to facilitate their understanding of Entrust's operating results and future prospects. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to assess its success in reducing the company's cost structure, to measure its ongoing cash operating costs, and to establish budgets and operational goals. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial and operating results prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as non-GAAP measures are susceptible to varying calculations and they may not be comparable, as presented, to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

This press release contains forward-looking statements relating to Entrust's projected revenue, net income and net loss per share, non-GAAP income per share and cash flow from operations for the second half and full year 2008 and the company's planned third quarter non-GAAP total expenses. Such statements are based upon preliminary estimates which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements are unforeseen operating expenses ,inaccuracy in preliminary estimates issues associated with revenue recognition, issues raised in connection with the internal review of quarterly financial results, and the risk factors detailed from time to time in Entrust's periodic reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including without limitation Entrust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. While Entrust may elect to update forward-looking statements in the future, Entrust specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if its estimates change.
