Datable Renews License with Digital Media & Entertainment Company
VANCOUVER, BC, March 1, 2021 /CNW/ - Datable Technology Corporation (TSXV: DAC) (OTC Pink: TTMZF) (the "Company" or "Datable" or "DTC"), a software company that provides a marketing automation platform called PLATFORM3 to global consumer brands, announces that it has renewed its license agreement with a leading digital media and entertainment company (the "Customer"). The Customer is the digital division of a leading global media and technology company, which owns and operates business units that provide cable, entertainment (major motion pictures, TV broadcasting, and theme parks) and streaming services. In 2020 Datable signed agreements with the Customer and its affiliates that are expected to result in about $1.2 million in revenues in 2020 and subsequent periods.
The one-year renewal includes a software-as-a-service (SaaS) license for approximately $140,000 plus transaction fees based on the number of programs and consumer engagements hosted by PLATFORM3. In 2020, the Company invoiced the Customer for approximately $400,000 in SaaS license and transaction fees and expects an increase in 2021.
"This Customer has been using PLATFORM3 since 2018 to connect directly with consumers and reward them for online purchasing of movie tickets while collecting valuable consumer data," said Robert Craig, Datable's CEO. "In 2020 we helped the Customer facilitate a transition to providing rewards to consumers for streaming movies after theatres shut down due to COVID. We also provide PLATFORM3 to affiliates of the Customer that produce and distribute major motion pictures and that distribute blue-rays and streaming after the movies have completed their theatrical releases. This long-term and growing customer is another validation of the return on investment we are driving for major global brands as they seek direct connections with consumers to generate incremental revenues and loyalty."
Datable now has close to $3.5 million in contracted revenue for 2021 and future periods, of which over $3 million is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2021. Datable expects gross margin to be about 55% in 2021. Contracted revenues do not include projected transaction fees. The Customer was invoiced for over $250,000 in transaction fees in 2020, and was the Company's largest source of transaction fees in 2020.
