· A number of important contract wins with customers such as the U.S. army, ING, EMC, INTEL, Musananda (UAE), Vodafone and Coca-Cola

Globo CEO Costis Papadimitrakopoulos commented:

"We are pleased to report a strong start to 2015 trading with materially improved cash generation during the quarter. The focus for the current year is to execute our GO!Enterprise business strategy, primarily in the U.S. market. GO!Enterprise has had a very strong start to the year, with revenue in Q1 growing 108% year-on-year, driven by organic licence growth. As our U.S. expansion continues to gather momentum, I expect our early successes in 2015 to continue through the remainder of the year."
