ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
23 December 2016
Norwood signs two new Corona contracts and is on-track to close landmark Affinity Framework Agreement by January 2017
Highlights:
-
Norwood has signed Corona service agreements with US-based multinational firms Cytec Industries Limited and Oceaneering International Inc., covering both Corona Cloud and Corona GTS service components for services delivered to their respective Australian operations.
-
The agreements are expected to generate initial combined revenues in the order of AUS$100,000 annually, with strong potential further growth through sales to each organisation’s international divisions.
-
Robust progress has been made on a global framework agreement for white-label distribution of the World Apps with a leading global affinity loyalty program provider. Contract signing for this agreement is expected around mid-January 2017.
“Sharing Economy” telecommunications pioneer Norwood Systems Ltd (“Norwood” or “the Company”) (ASX: NOR) is pleased to announce that following extensive recent piloting of Norwood’s Corona platforms and World Phone, two multinational companies, Cytec Industries Limited and Oceaneering International Inc ., have signed Corona service agreements. Cytec Industries is a speciality chemicals and materials technology company based in Woodland, New Jersey, USA; and Oceaneering International Inc is a subsea engineering and applied technology company based in Houston, Texas, USA.
Additionally, Norwood has made significant progress towards signing a global framework agreement for whitelabel distribution of the World Apps with a leading global affinity loyalty program provider, as anticipated in the Company’s AGM strategy and pipeline update presentation issued on 30 November, 2016.
The Company is hopeful of signing this agreement in the mid-January 2017 timeframe, and until then the provider will be referred to as “AffinityCo” to meet confidentiality requirements.
Norwood Systems’ CEO and Founder, Paul Ostergaard, commented:
“It is extremely satisfying to see strong sales momentum building for both of our core platforms, Corona and our World Apps , leading into the Holiday Season.
“We are seeing several pilots, that commenced earlier in the quarter, now converting into monetised sales. We are confident that many other prospective clients in our sales pipeline will follow suit early in the New Year. Both of these clients, with their multi-national scope, had extremely demanding acceptance criteria that we had to satisfy before moving to contract signature.
“Regarding the landmark affinity loyalty deal-in-progress that we announced at our AGM, it gives me great pleasure to see this deal progressing well towards contract signature.
“These deals, along with others in our current pipeline, reflect the hard work the team has been putting over the past year to build compelling, monetisable customer propositions. We are now starting to reap the rewards of that effort and our team is looking forward to 2017 with great anticipation. I’d like to thank all our shareholders and advisers for their support of the Company over the past twelve months and look forward to
reporting back early in the New Year on further commercial progress. Best wishes to all for a happy and peaceful Holiday Season and New Year.”
