DALLAS, TX--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 3, 2008 -- NewMarket Technology,
Inc. (OTC BB:NMKTE.OB - News) today announced signing a technology
managed services contract with Serasa (www.serasa.com.br). NewMarket's
Brazilian subsidiary UniOne will provide Serasa with technology
support and consulting services. Serasa, a new client for the Company,
is the leading credit bureau in Brazil, the fourth largest credit
bureau in the world, and the largest credit bureau outside the US.
Serasa was acquired in 2007 by the world leader in marketing and
credit services, Experian. Experian is a multi-billion dollar company
with operations in more than 65 countries. $25 Million in New
Contracts to Augment Existing $93 Million Customer Base
The Company reported $43.7 million in revenue for the first six
months of 2008 with a net income of $2 million. In 2007, the Company
reported $93.1 million in revenue with $7.3 million in net income.
Separately, the Company recently announced record year-to-date sales
contracts with new clients expected to contribute an additional $25
million in revenue in the second half of 2008 (http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080808/0423300.html).
The anticipated revenue from the majority of these new sales
contracts is scheduled to be realized over the second six months of
2008. Management anticipates the revenue from the new sales contracts
to augment revenue from the base of recurring customers that delivered
the $93.1 million in 2007 revenue. Assuming no increase or decrease in
sales from the Company's base of recurring customers, the $25 million
anticipated in revenue from new sales contracts puts NewMarket within
reach of its $120 million revenue forecast.
