IKE Secures Another Significant Multi-Year Subscription Deal

An agreement with the second largest electric utility group in North America for a five-

year term that is expected to generate ~NZ$2m in total subscription revenue, or an

additive NZ$0.4m ARR.


ikeGPS Group Limited (ASX/NZX:IKE) or IKE, today announces that:

+ It has entered into a five year agreement with the second largest electric utility in the U.S.,

upgrading them from IKE’s legacy product to its new PoleForeman structural analysis

platform

+ The initial purchase order is for the first year of the agreement, for ~NZ$0.4m.

+ This customer serves approximately eight million customers in the southern U.S. region.

+ Specifically

+ Over the coming period, this commitment means over 650 engineers at this electric

utility will use IKE Poleforeman’s advanced capabilities for structural analysis and the

design of distribution assets, to meet grid resiliency and network capacity targets

over the coming decades.

+ This upsell signifies a more then ten-fold increase in annual recurring revenue from

this customer.

+ An expected consequence of this Standards decision at the utility is that additional

engineering companies and communications groups, working across this utility’s

network, will also adopt IKE PoleForeman.

This contract follows recent announcements including that:

- IKE had also signed a ~NZ$3.7m subscription contract with a Fortune 150 Company

and one of the ten largest Investor-Owned Utilities in the U.S., upgrading them from IKE’s

legacy product to its new PoleForeman structural analysis platform. Over the coming

five years, this long-term customer commitment means that over 1,000 engineers at this

utility will use IKE Poleforeman’s advanced capabilities.

- IKE had also signed a NZ$0.8m three-year subscription deal with a Fortune 500

Company that serves approximately four million customers on the east coast of the U.S.

Since launching the IKE PoleForeman product late in 2023, more than 30 enterprise customers in

the U.S. have signed onto the platform representing total contract value expected to exceed

~NZ$7.5m from this new product, that will be recognized over the coming periods as

subscription revenue.

New customer wins have included flipping one of the ten largest utilities in North America from a

competitor. IKE anticipates winning further significant contracts with tier-1 customers in the

short and medium term.
