Contract Extension with Leading CRO

Instem plc (AIM: INS), a leading provider of IT solutions to the global life sciences market, announces that it has entered into a contract extension worth c.$1.4m for over 900 additional users of the Group's Provantis non-clinical study management platform with an existing leading publicly traded global contract research organisation  (" CRO" or "Client"). As a result, the CRO will now have c. 7,400 Provantis users.

The contract value comprises c.$1.2m of mainly perpetual license revenue and a small amount of historically accumulated, directly associated annual support revenue, which will be recognised in 2022, with recurring annual support fees of c.$0.2m to be recognised from FY2023 onwards.

The significantly expanded number of users of the Provantis platform will help the Client to meet demand for its non-clinical study services, which continue to grow across the pharmaceutical, biotech and agrochemical markets.

This is another significant contract for the Company and will help to underpin management expectations for the current and future years.

Phil Reason, Instem Chief Executive, commented: "We are delighted to have further strengthened our long-standing relationship with the Client. This endorsement further highlights the strength of our offering, sector standing and the buoyant industry demand for non-clinical studies, which has generated software license growth from many of our CRO clients."
