First Launchpad Software License Purchase Order

Nexteq (AIM: NXQ), a leading technology solutions provider to customers in
selected industrial markets, is pleased to announce it has secured its first
customer win and initial software license purchase order for its recently
launched Gaming Software platform, Launchpad.

 

The order, received from a new customer to Quixant, which is an established
Asian game developer, includes Launchpad software licences together with its
gaming hardware computing platforms. The customer will use Launchpad to
support the deployment of its land-based gaming content into a new market,
which is expected to commence in H2 2026 and will lead to ongoing software
revenues.

 

This marks the first commercial software-led sale for Quixant, the Group's
gaming brand, following the official launch of Launchpad at the ICE Barcelona
2026 tradeshow last month. Launchpad provides a ready-made software foundation
for land-based casino gaming, helping customers manage regulatory
requirements, security and game operations, while integrating seamlessly with
Quixant's hardware platforms.

 

The win demonstrates how Launchpad enhances Quixant's value proposition by
combining software and hardware into a single, integrated solution. By
simplifying compliance and technical complexity, Launchpad enables customers
to focus on developing and delivering their gaming content to market more
efficiently.

 

The Group continues to see strong engagement following ICE Barcelona and is
progressing discussions with additional prospective customers. Nexteq looks
forward to providing further updates as Launchpad adoption builds.

 

Duncan Faithfull, Chief Executive Officer of Nexteq plc, commented: "We are
delighted to secure our first Launchpad customer so soon after its official
launch.

 

For over 20 years, Quixant has created market leading software solutions for
the Gaming industry, and Launchpad is true innovation which allows our
partners to focus on developing brilliant games and launch new products
faster.  This initial order highlights the strength of our unique integrated
hardware and software offering and demonstrates the commercial opportunity
created by expanding into software-led solutions.

 

The Board believes this new customer relationship has the potential to become
another $1m revenue per year customer, including both ongoing software license
revenues alongside our gaming hardware platform sales.

 

We are encouraged by the level of customer interest following ICE and look
forward to updating the market as Launchpad continues to gain traction."
