Significant Contract Win

23 March 2017 - Craneware (AIM: CRW.L), the market leader in Value Cycle solutions for the US healthcare market, is pleased to announce a significant new contract with a large hospital operator in the US.

This win, with an existing customer, adds further Value Cycle solutions and related services to a seven year contract originally announced in April 2014. The contract is expected to deliver a further $3.7m of revenue over this new seven year term as the hospital network rolls out these additional solutions across its facilities and $1.5m of additional revenue as the contract for the currently implemented solutions is extended to run co-terminus to this amendment.

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 strategic importance of Craneware's Value Cycle solutions allow us to add new customers and deepen our relationship with our existing customers as both groups address the challenges resulting from the continued evolution to the new value based re-imbursement environment. The extension of the solution set provided to this customer and increasing the duration of the original contract underlines the value our solutions bring to our customers. We have a very positive relationship with our customers, demonstrating sustainable value; we now look forward to this extension of our working relationship with this customer to over a decade."
