| Source: NewMarket Technology, Inc.
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - August 5, 2008) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. (OTCBB : NMKT ) today
announced signing a contract with Obrascon Huarte Lain, S.A. (OHL). OHL is
a new client for the Company and with this initial contract NewMarket's
Brazilian subsidiary UniOne will supply OHL with Oracle's Standard Edition
One Database license. OHL, which reported 2007 revenues of nearly $4
billion, is an international construction and engineering firm based in
Spain. OHL's primary focus is on construction and infrastructure as well as
public works maintenance and repair for both the public and private sector.
Managed Services Strategy
NewMarket launched a strategy earlier this year to transition the Company's
revenue to recurring revenue from long-term Managed Services contracts and
customer relationships. The objective of the Managed Services strategy is
to improve the Company's value by extending the average length of customer
relationships and contracts and improving the efficiency of regional
operations through the consolidation of back office functions. The
recurring revenue from Managed Service contracts generally receives
substantially higher price to sales and price to earnings valuations than
revenue from shorter term client relationships. This is because Managed
Service revenue is in essence, a foundation of sales that can be built
upon, rather than a sale that has to be renewed more frequently. The
managed services business was explained in detail in a PowerPoint Webcast
that can still be viewed at http://biz.yahoo.com/cc/4/93884.html.
Recent Managed Services Contracts
Since launching the Managed Services strategy, some NewMarket customers
have approved the announcements of long-term Managed Services contracts.
Most notable is the Company's recent announcement of a $10.5 million,
three-year contact with WBA Telecommunications (news) and a $4
million, three-year contract with Movistar, a division of Telefonica (news). The Company
is continuing to build its Managed Services business by signing long-term
service contracts and will continue to announce these accomplishments upon
customer approval.
