Melbourne, Australia; 2 June 2017: Mach7 Technologies Limited ( Mach7 or the Company ) (ASX: M7T ) provides the following update to its shareholders.

Sales

During the quarter Mach7 has successfully executed two contract wins which together have a minimum total deal value of approximately $2.7 million over the life of the contracts. One of these deals is with an existing customer, for the expansion of Mach7 enterprise imaging platform software which includes the full array of management, clinical and diagnostic studios. The customer is a large not-for-profit, regional referral centre with 303 staffed beds, caring for patients from more than 29 counties throughout West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southern Ohio, U.S.

The second deal, also an expansion deal, is for the license of Mach7 cross-enterprise solution to an existing Middle East customer. This customer had previously licensed the Mach7 enterprise imaging platform solution and it is now fully operational within the enterprise.

Both deals are capital-style revenue deals, and contain an upfront software license fee, implementation and training fees, and annual support fees which continue over the life of the contracts.

The Company has also made several sales for product add-ons to existing customers during recent months which have a relatively small deal value on their own, but collectively have the potential to provide a significant revenue stream for the Company over time.

In addition to the above expansion contract wins and product add-on sales, the Company is also in the final stages of contract drafting with two prospective and important new customers in the U.S., which it hopes to execute within FY2017. However, due to factors outside of the Company’s control, such as scope of work amendments, it is expected that at least one of the major pending contracts outside the U.S. will likely be signed in FY2018, rather than FY2017 as was originally anticipated. Consequently, the Company now expects to achieve its EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) break-even target during FY2018, rather than FY2017.

3D Medical Operations

The Company has decided to divest its 3D Medical operations. This decision was made on the basis of (a) the competitive environment and market opportunities for the 3D Medical business, and (b) the synergies expected to be realised being much less than expected. The Board considers that it would be prudent to focus the Company’s resources on the Mach7 business, which it believes will offer a far more substantial market opportunity, and for which Mach7 has already gained market acceptance with more than 50 customers globally. Following the 3D Medical divestment and other head-office initiatives, the Company expects to benefit from costs savings of at least $1.2 million per annum when compared to costs incurred for FY2017.

Cash and Recurring Revenues

As at 30 April 2017, the Company will earn at least $4 million per annum from annuity revenues (annual support fees and monthly subscription fees) from existing customer contracts, going forward. These contracts have, on average, approximately four years left to run. The Company reasonably expects support fees to continue beyond the expiry of contracts since Mach7 software forms an integral and critical part of each customers’ medical data management system. In addition to the guaranteed revenues, as at 30 April, the Company has $3.2 million of cash on hand, and $3.1 million of net current assets. Combined, these amounts represent some $20 million in value before taking into account pending contract wins and future revenue streams from new sales and subscriptions to the Company’s proprietary software.

Senior Management

The search for a new Global CEO, which is being led by US executive search firm Korn Ferry, has progressed to the final stages. A select group of exceptional candidates has been identified and the Company is in the final stages of due diligence. The Company is targeting to make an announcement with respect to the CEO appointment by 30 June 2017.

Further to the announcement of Albert Liong’s resignation as Managing Director and CEO on 16 March 2017, the Company confirms Albert has successfully completed the transition of his role and has now left the Company. Albert’s role has been absorbed by the executive team members in the interim. Once again, the Board would like to express its appreciation to Albert for his efforts and contributions to the Company.

Mach7 is pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Lampron, as Chief Operating Officer. Mike has over 20 years of business management experience in healthcare imaging and informatics product and service organizations. He has a proven ability to drive results through a combination of astute analysis, innovative execution and cross-functional teamwork. Mike was most recently Vice President, Services at iCAD, Inc (NASDAQ: ICAD), which offers a comprehensive range of upgradeable CAD (computer aided detection) and workflow solutions to support diagnosis of breast, prostate and colorectal cancers. iCAD reported revenues of approximately US$44 million per annum. Prior to iCAD, Mike held senior roles with lifeIMAGE, Inc., Imaging On Call, LLC (CEO), and Amicas, LLC. Mike has also had roles with IDX, GE, IBM and the U.S. Air Force.
