Greg Mark, Hubwoo CEO commented: "We are not only pleased by the confidence Uni.H.A. has placed in us by signing a 10 year contract with us to provide their 54 hospitals network with eProcurement solutions powered by SAP software, but are also pleased that the market has once again supported our Q1 capital increase. We plan to use this recent raise for the growth phase of our company, specifically to accelerate our revenue streams around The Business Network.

Q1 2012 revenues are overall stable compared to Q1 2011 (-2%).
SaaS, the recurring component of revenue, was EUR 6.9M and represented 79% of the total revenue for the quarter. Compared to Q1 2011, the Buyer component of SaaS was up 4%, showing that negative effects from customer contracts re-negotiations that influenced revenue levels throughout 2011 are fading.
The Services component of revenue was lower than Q1 2011 (-13%), essentially due to improvements in implementation methodologies enabling lower costs and faster time to benefit when deploying our solutions.
