Three-Year Sole-Source Supply Contract For Up To 5,000 Body Cameras and Software Infrastructure/Back Office Awarded to Digital By a National Police ForceLenexa, KS, Feb. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Digital Ally, Inc. (NASDAQ: DGLY) (the “Company”), which develops, manufactures and markets advanced video recording products for law enforcement, emergency management, fleet safety and security, today announced the receipt of the initial purchase order under a substantial contract awarded by the Director of Strategic Procurement of that country for the expected deployment of body cameras to its entire national police force. The contract will include up to 5,000 body cameras with Digital Ally’s web-based software infrastructure service for a three-year period. The contract is expected to result in revenues exceeding $4.0 million commencing with delivery of the initial purchase order in February 2020 and the release of periodic purchase orders thereafter. Upon completion, this contract would be the largest body camera deployment in the Company’s history and the largest contract for recurring service revenues for its web-based software related to the body cameras.The contract was awarded to Digital Ally after an extensive evaluation process resulting in the national police force replacing a competitors’ hardware and services with Digital’s body camera and new web-based software services offerings.“The award of this international contract is an important milestone for Digital Ally because the size and complexity of the deployment proves the scalability of the Company’s body camera hardware and its web-based software services,” stated Stanton E. Ross, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “The Company has been working with one of its distributors on this contract for approximately twelve months, which illustrates the long sales cycle that is typical of large international market opportunities. We have sufficient inventory on hand and expect to fulfill the initial part of the order in the current quarter and continue deliveries as required,” continued Ross. “The contract requires Digital Ally to provide its new web-based software that will generate significant recurring service revenues from the technology infrastructure necessary to retrieve and manage the audio and video evidence generated by the body cameras,” concluded Ross.Update of Revenue Guidance for Fiscal Year 2020The Company notes that this international order was not originally factored into the initial Revenue Guidance for the fiscal year 2020. It had previously provided guidance that its expected revenues for this year would exceed $13.5 million. The increase in expected revenues will not necessarily be proportionate during the fulfillment of the contract. The Company also anticipates the continuation of its increased recurring service revenues during the term of the contract.About Digital AllyDigital Ally®, headquartered in Lenexa, KS, specializes in the design and manufacturing of the highest quality video recording equipment and video analytic software.
