First Quarter Developments

Key developments during the quarter include:

· The renewal of approximately 50,000 GO!Enterprise EMM licences and an incremental purchase order from a US Fortune 100 company, worth US$1.2 million (€1.0 million), as previously announced

· A number of important contract wins with customers such as the U.S. army, ING, EMC, INTEL, Musananda (UAE), Vodafone and Coca-Cola

· Continued recognition from industry observers, with Globo being highlighted in Ovum's 2015-16 Decision Matrix for MADP Solutions as a major "Market Challenger" amongst the 12 leading MADP vendors, with the potential to become a Tier-1 player

· Announcement at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona of FIPS 140-2 certified encryption for GO!AppZone, the only company to offer this level of security for such a developer platform

 

Globo CEO Costis Papadimitrakopoulos commented:

 

"We are pleased to report a strong start to 2015 trading with materially improved cash generation during the quarter. The focus for the current year is to execute our GO!Enterprise business strategy, primarily in the U.S. market. GO!Enterprise has had a very strong start to the year, with revenue in Q1 growing 108% year-on-year, driven by organic licence growth. As our U.S. expansion continues to gather momentum, I expect our early successes in 2015 to continue through the remainder of the year."
