Wet'n'Wild Sydney Contract Win
Three year agreement with Village Roadshow Theme Parks for accesso LoQueuesm at Sydney park
accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets, today announces a three year agreement with Village Roadshow Theme Parks to install the accesso LoQueue virtual queuing solution at Wet'n'Wild Sydney.
 
The agreement will see accesso's patented Qbandsm deployed across nine attractions in one of Australia's most visited water parks. The waterproof RFID wristband allows guests to queue virtually for their chosen ride before being notified by the device's countdown display that their turn has arrived.
 
The agreement will see Wet'n'Wild Sydney become the second Village Roadshow venue to leverage accesso's Qband, providing compelling evidence of accesso's ability to expand existing relationships through the provision of multiple products or services to the same operator. This agreement also reflects the Group's increasing focus on the Asia-Pacific region where accesso has recently hired a regional Managing Director to coordinate its sales efforts.
 
Commenting, Tom Burnet, Executive Chairman of accesso Technology Group plc said:
 
"We're delighted to have expanded our relationship with Village Roadshow with an agreement that reflects a significant show of trust in our solution.
 
Such a vote of confidence makes us very proud, and we look forward to three more years of partnership with this prestigious operator."
 
Commenting, Dianne Rigg, General Manager of Wet'n'Wild Sydney said:
"The Qband has been very popular at our Wet'n'Wild Las Vegas park and now guests at our Sydney park will be able to get more out of their visit, spending less time in line and more time enjoying our world-class attractions."

Launch of New Product
accesso Unveils Revolutionary New Smart Wearable, accesso Prismsm
 
 
accesso Technology Group plc (AIM: ACSO), the premier technology solutions provider to leisure, entertainment and cultural markets, today announces the unveiling of accesso Prism, the most technologically advanced smart park wearable device available.
 
Introduced today at the IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando, Florida, accesso Prism is a compact, un-tethered and lightweight wearable offering a variety of functions that can be adapted for a wide range of venues including theme parks, water parks, ski resorts and museums. Through its swipe-screen interface, these features also make accesso Prism the first device capable of delivering a fully integrated 'smart park' experience where guests and operators can seamlessly interact, enhancing user autonomy and improving the opportunity for venues by increasing their in-park presence with the customer. The new accesso Prism wearable has a multitude of functions including:
 
·      Virtual Queuing: A waitfree experience as guests reserve their place in line, change their ride selection and monitor their ride-return time.
 
·      Payments: A walletfree experience with cashless payments via secure Near Field Communication (NFC) technology.
 
·      Messaging: Push-notifications for proximity-based marketing, operational updates, or status of pending virtual queue position.
 
·      Photography: Tagging of ride and park photographs for seamless collection throughout the day.
 
·      Access: Hasslefree entry at park turnstiles, guest lockers, and resort hotel room doors. 
·      Intelligence: Collects guest journey information and provides valuable data to inform park operations and marketing.
 
These capabilities position accesso as the technology provider for tomorrow's attractions, increasing the volume and range of in-park spending for the operator, driving transaction-based revenue for the Group, and further embedding accesso at the heart of venue operations. This kind of innovation also increases accesso's product differentiation against industry peers, extending market leadership and helping to accelerate growth.
Commenting, Tom Burnet, Executive Chairman of accesso Technology Group plc said:
"We're extremely proud to unveil Accesso Prism, a device that sets a new industry standard for in-park wearables and sets the tone for guest experiences in the future. We have invested considerably in the product and we are thrilled to introduce it to the world.
Accesso Prism reaffirms our commitment to product innovation and reflects our ongoing desire to provide best-in-class technology to our customers. "
Commenting, Steve Brown, Chief Executive Officer of accesso Technology Group plc said:
"Untethered by a smartphone or rigorous pre-planning requirements, guests can now enjoy a carefree, hasslefree and waitfree experience when they visit their favorite venue.
With Accesso Prism, we introduce a new way for visitors to enjoy attractions, and for attractions to offer more fun, more convenience, and less waiting for their guests."

The Asia-Pacific region is a key growth area for the Group, and this win is a reflection of the progress accesso is making in establishing a foothold there.

Berenberg starts Accesso at a 'buy', sets 2,700p target


Analysts at Berenberg initiated coverage on leisure industry group Accesso Technology with a 'buy' rating on Wednesday, citing several factors that they believed would lead to "double-digit organic revenue growth" over the coming years as their reasoning.
Berenberg stated that Accesso and its end-to-end technology stack, married with its global footprint, position it well in "a market that is fragmented by product, geography and vertical".


"We believe this will allow Accesso to take market share in its core theme park market, but also expand in the broader leisure industry where it has less penetration," the Tuesday morning research note read.


Berenberg initiated coverage with a 'buy' rating and a 2,700p price target.
Berenberg said, "Accesso has spent c$170m on five acquisitions since 2012. With more than $120m of balance sheet firepower over 2018-20E, we believe that accesso will likely use M&A to accelerate growth in new verticals and geographies. Our analysis indicates that M&A could deliver 30%+ earnings upgrades over 2018-20E and add up to 1,100p to our base-case DCF price target."
"We value accesso on a 80/20 blend of our base-case DCF and blue-sky valuation. Accesso trades on 37x 2018 P/E for a 20% 2018-20E EPS CAGR," the analysts concluded.
As of 1430 GMT, shares had gained 7.33% to 2,270.00p.
