NewMarket Technology, Inc. Reports Record Sales YTD With $25 Million in New Contracts Contributing to $120 Million 2008 Revenue Forecast and Anticipated Strong Sales to Continue Through End of Year

Friday August 8, 9:27 am ET

DALLAS, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Aug 8, 2008 -- NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTC BB:NMKT.OB - News) conducted an aftermarket Webcast yesterday afternoon to review year-to-date sales and progress towards the Company's 2008 $120 million organic revenue forecast. CEO Philip Verges reported record sales year-to-date with new customer contracts that would contribute $25 million to 2008 revenue. Notably, the majority of the new contracts were signed with North American clients, increasing the Company's percentage of overall revenue derived from North America. NewMarket reported $93.1 million in revenue for 2007 with $7.3 million in net income. Approximately 70% of NewMarket's 2007 revenue came from customers outside of the United States. The $25 million to be realized from new customer contracts in combination with revenue expected from recurring customers that contributed to last year's $93 million in revenue puts the Company well within reach of its $120 million 2008 organic revenue forecast. NewMarket historically reports more revenue in the second half of the year compared to the first. While North American sales have lead the first half of the year, NewMarket is also enjoying sales growth from its operations outside of North America and anticipates strong sales growth to continue from operations in Asia and South America. Mr. Verges concluded yesterday's Webcast indicating an expectation that the year-to-date sales track record would continue throughout the year and that a forecast increase was under consideration. The Webcast, which lasted just over 20 minutes, also includes a review of the Company's progress toward increasing gross margins, reducing operating expenses as a percentage of revenue and improving cash flow.
