Klaas van der Leest, CEO, commented:

"We are very pleased to secure new licence orders in the Rest of the World territory (excluding Americas), especially with a new government end client based in Asia which also includes the first subscription licence order for MyID SecureVault.

The orders were contracted through Asia's leading cyber security services provider, and once again, underpins our go-to-market strategy.

The Group continues to demonstrate its ability to address client needs quickly, efficiently, and commercially as the maiden order for MyID SecureVault shows.

The renewals and services highlight the critical nature of our software once in production and underpins the long tenure of our existing client base".

* The Board believes that the current consensus estimates for the year ending 31 March 2025 is revenue of £16.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of £3.3 million.
