Toronto, ON / TheNewswire / March 18, 2024 / NTG Clarity Networks Inc. (TSX.V:NCI, OTC: NYWKF); NTG Clarity is excited to announce its 2024 revenue target of $50M (at an estimated gross margin of 40%), and that it has received 14 new purchase orders (POs). These POs are for $6.5M CAD in new work and renewals for new and existing customers in the Financial, Telecom, Utilities, and Food & Beverage sectors.

 

These contracts -- for both outsourced professional services and software solutions -- will result in the placement of more than 100 staff onsite and offshore to service these customers. The breakdown of the work is as follows, with all customers in the Middle East unless otherwise noted:

 

• $2.55M in POs new work: 

•  

$1.8M for Outsourced Professional Services:

• • • $1.2M to provide offshore staff for three months for an existing customer in the Digital Solutions sector 

    • $637K across two POs to provide onsite and offshore staff to two existing customers in the Financial sector 

  • $750K for Software Products: 

    • $216K to provide our NTGapps software platform for new customer in the Utilities sector in Canada 

    • $162K to provide software support for our NTGapps platform for an existing customer in the Financial sector 

    • $135K to provide a Utility Billing solution built on our NTGapps platform for a new customer in the Utilities sector 

    • $115K to build an ERP system on our NTGapps platform for a new customer in the Food Beverage sector 

    • $108K to build an ERP system on our NTGapps platform for an existing customer in the Financial sector 

    • $14K to further customize our NTGapps platform for an existing customer in the Telecom sector

• • $3.847M for Outsourced Professional Services: 

    • $3.6M to renew onsite and offshore staff for one year for an existing customer in the Financial sector

  • $53K for Software Products: 

    • $53K across two POs to expand our NTGapps platform for an existing customer in the Telecom sector 

 

NTG’s current work on hand (which includes unbilled POs as of January 1, 2024, and new POs received and previously announced since then) is approximately $40M, the majority of which is expected to be completed in 2024. This puts NTG well on the path to reach our 2024 revenue target of $50M with a targeted bottom-line profit of 10%.

 

With the revenue from these POs, and an improved capital structure following our announced share consolidation, we look forward to continuing to prioritize our two focuses for 2024:

 

1. Continuing our growth trajectory. With demand increasing – especially for our outsourced professional services offering – we expect growth to continue through 2024 and beyond. As previously mentioned, NTG’s revenue target for 2024 is $50M.
    

2. Drive further profitability. With three years of consistent profitability under our belt, we’re actively identifying opportunities to make sure as much of this new revenue as possible flows on to the bottom line. NTG’s 2024 bottom line profit margin target is 10%. 

   • With this increased profitability, management looks forward to paying down existing liabilities and improving the company’s balance sheet.  

   • Combined with the share consolidation, shareholders can look forward to seeing rapidly improving earnings and profit per share with this growth. 

“We are elated to see our strong growth from 2023 continue into 2024 with this set of new contracts from new and existing customers alike,” said Adam Zaghloul, Vice President – Strategy & Planning of NTG Clarity. “In addition to new and expanded contracts with existing long-time customers, it is exciting to see several orders for our proprietary NTGapps software platform including a new customer in North America.”

 

With over 30 years of experience and a strong presence in the digital transformation market in the Middle East and worldwide, NTG Clarity is well positioned capitalize on this accelerating growth and be one of the major players in the space.
