DALLAS - April 22, 2008 - Entrust, Inc. [Nasdaq: ENTU], a world leader in securing digital identities and information, today announced financial results for its fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008.

"I am pleased with our Q1 performance toward meeting our first half financial and operating commitments," said Bill Conner, Entrust chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Specifically, we grew product revenue five percent year-over-year, increased product transactions by 20 percent over last year, increased revenue from transactions under $500 thousand by 13 percent and increased deferred revenue by $1.0 million from the fourth quarter. Equally important was a $.02/share increase in profitability from a year ago and a positive cash flow from operations of $3.9 million in the quarter before the net change in restructuring accruals."

Revenue for the first quarter was $25.8 million, an increase of 5% from $24.6 million in Q1, 2007. Revenue in the first quarter was driven by product revenue transactions under $500 thousand, which accounted for 90% of product revenue. We also had one deal value of approximately $1.5 million, including software, service and 3rd party hardware for a global government. Deferred revenue increased in the quarter to approximately $28.9 million, an increase of approximately $1.0 million, from $27.9 million at year-end 2007.

Conner added, "In the quarter we continued to make solid progress in many key areas including lowering our reliance on large deals and increasing our revenue from subscription based offerings. We also made significant progress with customers, specifically in Risk Based Authentication and Global Governments, where in the quarter we delivered for two top global financial institutions and a large government e-borders project in Europe. We also achieved record bookings in our SSL certificate business and Entrust Managed Services business added two Fortune 200 U.S. companies to the Entrust Managed Service and as a result achieved over $1.0 million in bookings. These achievements coupled with our overall sales funnel and financial management position us well to achieve our first half and full year 2008 operating and financial goals."

Entrust recorded a Q1, 2008 net loss, calculated in accordance with GAAP, of $1.2 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to Q1, 2007 net loss of $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share. On a non-GAAP basis the company recorded a profit of $344 thousand, or $0.01 per share, compared to Q1, 2007 loss of $837 thousand, or $0.01 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.

The company ended Q1, 2008 with approximately $22.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt.

Financial Outlook:

Entrust reiterated its previous guidance provided on the first half and full year 2008. Entrust is targeting first half 2008 revenue of between $50.0 million and $53.0 million. For the full year 2008, Entrust is targeting total revenue of between $106.0 million to $110.0 million. Entrust is targeting a net loss in accordance with GAAP of $0.01 per share for the first half of 2008. On a non-GAAP basis the company is targeting a profit of $0.03 per share for the first half of 2008. For the full year 2008, Entrust is targeting a net income in accordance with GAAP of approximately $0.02 per share. On a non-GAAP basis the company is targeting a full year profit of $0.10 per share. The company's Q2, 2008, total expenses on a non-GAAP basis are expected to be approximately $25.0 million. The Company expects to be cash flow positive from operations before adjustments to exclude the effects of the net change in accrued restructuring charges for the full year by over $10.0 million.

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 first half and full year 2008 and the company's planned second 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.

The following supplemental tables provide non-GAAP financial measures used by the company's management to evaluate operational results. The company believes this information may be useful to investors. In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the income statement effects of share-based compensation, amortization of purchase product rights and other purchased intangibles, and non recurring restructuring and impairment charges. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Set forth below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

For additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the Form 8-K dated April 22, 2008 that Entrust has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
