Strong SaaS growth with new and existing clients

Instem plc (AIM: INS), a leading provider of IT solutions to the global life sciences market, announces further progress in the Chinese market in the second half of this financial year. Contract successes include Provantis® preclinical software solution suite orders for a significant number of additional licensed users from two long-standing customers, reinforcing Instem's strong existing relationships, and four additional new clients.  All of these orders are Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") subscriptions.

Instem will provide the new customers with solutions incorporating a range of modules across areas including general toxicology, clinical pathology, pathology and implementation services. The deals highlight the strength of the Company's position in the Chinese market, with the SaaS platform providing increasing earnings visibility and underlying margins growth.

Phil Reason, CEO of Instem plc, said: " We are very pleased to achieve these contracts, demonstrating the strength of our long-standing client relationships, the continuing transition to SaaS, as well as momentum in securing new business. The two existing customers have been clients for over seven years, illustrating the long-term nature of our relationships and how Instem supports its clients' growth.

"As reflected in our interim statement, Instem continues to capitalise on its market-leading position in China with these orders, highlighting the health of the early-phase R&D pipeline in this substantial market."
