Craneware : Significant Contract Win

31 October 2017 - Craneware (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in Value Cycle solutions for the US healthcare market, is pleased to announce the renewal and significant expansion of an existing contract with a growing hospital operator in the US.

This $6m win sees the extension of a relationship that has been in place since 2007, with the renewal of the customer's existing Value Cycle solutions and the roll out of these same solutions to further facilities that have been recently acquired by this hospital network. The contract is expected to deliver $3.5m of incremental revenue over this new five year term as the hospital network rolls out these solutions at its additional facilities.

In accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy, the majority of the revenue resulting from this contract will be recognised over future periods, adding to the Group's long term visibility of revenue under contract.

Keith Neilson, CEO of Craneware plc commented, 'The expansion of this relationship demonstrates the strategic importance of Craneware's Value Cycle solutions to our customers, as they extend their own hospital networks throughout the US. The strength of our solutions and the value they deliver to all customers, including large and complex health systems, allows us to deepen our relationship with our customers as they address the challenges resulting from the continued evolution to the new value based re-imbursement environment.

'Having enjoyed our positive working relationship for a decade, we now look forward to continuing to deliver sustainable value throughout this new term.'
