INTERCEDE GROUP plc

('Intercede', the 'Company' or the 'Group')

Major New Contract Win

Intercede, the leading specialist in digital identity, credential management and secure mobility, is pleased to announce that the Group has been awarded a major licence order with associated support and maintenance totalling approximately $1.0 million for a new client in the US Intelligence Community. In addition to the perpetual licence order, the client is also contracted for a separate annual subscription of $0.2 million.

This order, combined with expected additional conversion of our existing pipeline in Q4, means that the Company now expects financial performance to be ahead of market expectations for FY24* and further underpins FY25.

Klaas van der Leest, CEO, commented:

"We are particularly pleased to secure this order because it has potential to grow further and the fact that there is a subscription element associated with it.

The order was contracted through the channel, again underpinning our go-to-market strategy. We have ended 2023 on a high and aim to continue with this momentum into the final quarter and FY25".

* The current market forecast for the year ending 31 March 2024 is revenue of £18 million and adjusted EBITDA of £5.2 million.
