("MoPowered" or "the Group")
New Customer and Sector Wins
Client Acquisition Continues to Accelerate
MoPowered Group plc, the mobile commerce specialist, is
delighted to announce that it continues to build on the progress
achieved in 2013 with a strong start to 2014 in terms of client
acquisition. In the first two months of the year the Group has
secured 20 new clients across a broad range of retailers, including
several significant new names. This continues the acceleration of
client acquisition achieved over the course of 2013.
In particular, MoPowered has signed successful multi-chain books
retailer, The Works, which is now working with the Group to
strengthen its mobile commerce capabilities. Additionally the
fast-growing online fashion pure-play, Atterley Road, has signed up
to MoPowered's software-as-a-service ("SaaS") platform, in order to
drive its sales through smartphones.
Since the start of the year, MoPowered has also extended its
presence across a broad range of retail sectors including food and
drinks, gifts and home improvements. Wins have come from all areas
of MoPowered's marketing activities including a strong performance
in the middle market.
These new client acquisitions are a direct result of MoPowered's
investment in its sales and marketing activity and the recent
strengthening of the sales team, both of which were key objectives
following the Group's successful IPO. The funds raised at that time
have been utilised to drive this growth.
As indicated at the time of the pre-close update in January,
mobile commerce continues to be a key driver of retail sales, and
these client wins demonstrate the attractiveness of MoPowered's
offering across a wide variety of e-commerce businesses. The
Group's proven SaaS platform can be deployed rapidly and without
significant upfront cost, enabling clients to benefit
cost-effectively from the considerable growth opportunities arising
from the increasing levels of mobile device-initiated internet
traffic hitting their websites.
Dominic Keen, CEO, commented:
"Throughout MoPowered we are encouraged that we are starting to
see the results from the increased sales and marketing activity
made possible by MoPowered's IPO in late December 2013. The recent
client acquisitions across a number of retail verticals indicate
the potential for adoption of our mobile commerce across the full
spectrum of retailers which is encouraging for our business. As
mobile commerce becomes an increasingly important driver of online
sales, we believe that MoPowered is ideally placed to deliver our
feature-rich, cost effective and rapid-to-deploy solution to
retailers and build the broad customer base further."

NOTES TO EDITORS
MoPowered is a 'Software-as-a-Service' ('SaaS') platform,
launched in March 2012, which works with businesses of all sizes,
to automate websites and enable mobile commerce. Key distribution
partnerships with PayPal, WorldPay and MasterCard enable the Group
to access the majority of UK merchants.
The software platform allows automated development of mobile
sites rather than custom deployment with the corresponding time and
cost advantages. The commercial model is predominantly based on
long-term contracted, recurrent revenues.
MoPowered is well positioned to capitalise on the new types of
shopping opportunities created by mobile devices. Retailers face
significant challenges and are therefore outsourcing to expert
mobile partners such as MoPowered. Management believes that half of
the e-commerce market has online sales of less than GBP20m per
annum and SaaS solutions are likely to be the best economic
alternative for these merchants.
