Plans for $100 Million in Recurring Revenue Contracts
NewMarket's Bruce Noller was recently interviewed by Wall Street
Reporter. In the interview, Mr. Noller discusses the plan to convert
at least half of the Company's approximate $70 million in annual
technical services revenue from project sales contracts into
three-year contracts.
"The Company has a good reputation with customers and the repeat
business to prove it," explains Mr. Noller. "Now we are going to turn
those repeat customers into long-term customers. We started our
campaign last year to turn recurring customers into recurring revenue.
Our plan for 2008 is to convert half our tech services revenue into
three-year contracts. Converting half of NewMarket's approximately $70
million in tech services revenue would result in $100 million in
recurring revenue contracts."
