DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - August 11, 2009) - NewMarket Technology, Inc. (PINKSHEETS : NWMT )
has announced the launch of a $30 million service contract in China. In
conjunction with the rollout of this $30 million contract, NewMarket
management is forecasting profitable revenue growth in 2009. The Company
reported $95 million in revenue in 2008 and $93 million in 2007.
Management anticipates accelerated revenue growth in the second half of
2009 resulting from strong offshore sales.
China Sales
In 2008, NewMarket reported over $40 million in profitable revenue from its
operations in China. The Company's operation in China recently signed a $2
million contract with a Hong Kong-based software company and a $30 million
outsourcing services contract. NewMarket management recently traveled to
Shanghai for the launch of the $30 million contract.
Emerging Market Focus
NewMarket is a technology service provider that sells, installs, customizes
and maintains brand name technologies from Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco,
Hewlett-Packard and other recognized technology corporations. NewMarket is
similar to EDS, Perot Systems and Affiliated Computer Systems, though today
smaller. NewMarket differs from the more recognized technology service
provider companies by focusing business development in emerging economies.
NewMarket's emerging economy focus has helped the Company maintain strong
sales during the global economic downturn.
South American Sales
In addition to the Company's sales success in China, the Company also
recently announced a $1.2 million Microsoft corporate license agreement
with Banco Federal (www.bancofederal.com).
$1.00 - $2.50 Share Price Potential
NewMarket recently announced a ticker symbol change from NMKT to OTC: NWMT.
The change reflects a substantial step forward in the Company's overall
plan to align what management believes is an undervalued price per share
with the Company's otherwise strong fundamental financial performance.
NewMarket recently released an exclusive on-demand Webcast to review the
Company's positive operating income for the previous three years and
revenue growth from approximately $78 million in 2006 to $95 million in
2008. The focus of the Webcast is to present the potential for the share
price to increase from the recent recapitalized price per share of $0.45 to
$1.00 and as high as $2.50. The price per share potential is suggested in
conjunction with the presentation of the market capitalization values of
comparative public companies. The presentation includes an outlook on the
anticipated profitable revenue increase in 2009.
The Webcast is now available for review on the Company's corporate website.
