£4.4 million Agreement With An Existing Retail Customer
Universe Group plc (AIM: UNG.L), a leading developer and supplier of retail management solutions, payment and loyalty systems, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement worth approximately £4.4 million to supply outdoor payment terminals for the forecourt estate of a major existing retail customer of the Group.
Revenue relating to the contract will be recognised on delivery and the timing of this remains subject to further discussion. The associated revenue and profit from this agreement would be incremental to management's existing expectations.
Neil Radley, CEO of Universe, commented: "We are very pleased to announce this contract, which emphasises our strong market position in this area. This contract will deliver either an outperformance to our expectations for this financial year or, dependent on timing and the outcome of other customer proposals, provide a firm foundation as we enter the next financial year. We remain a business committed to a transition to a SaaS model focussed on recurring revenues and look forward to reporting further progress in that regard in due course."
