Wireless Expansion Necessitated by Sustained Organic Growth and Recent Strategic Distribution Agreement
October 22, 2007
Titan Global Holdings, Inc. ("Titan") (OTCBB:TTGL), a high-growth diversified holding company, announced today that Titan Wireless Inc., a unit of Titan's Communication Division, has expanded its Iowa based MVNO fulfillment facilities to accommodate sustained organic growth and to support is recently announced distribution agreement with a national retail chain to distribute more than 36,000 Ready Mobile-branded PCS handsets. Accordingly, the Company has exercised its option to occupy adjacent space and expanded its fulfillment operations.
These developments further validate the Company's high-growth business strategy focused on generating revenues from trusted wireless brand products through a retail distribution system that now reaches more than 86,000 locations.
"Titan Wireless through its well-known and trusted brands has built a reputation of operational excellence with our retail partners," said Dennis Henderson, President of Titan Wireless. "This expansion underscores our absolute commitment to maintaining on-time, accurate fulfillment of our retailer needs. The added capacity ensures the ability to keep pace as the sales team responds to demand."
Titan Wireless, through its well-known brands Ready Mobile, Mojo Mobile, Picante Movil and Bravo, is a leading provider of cost-effective prepaid wireless offerings through its mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) agreement with Sprint PCS. Titan Wireless completed its purchase of the assets of Ready Mobile, LLC, a national Sprint MVNO generating $12 million in annual revenues, in May, 2007.
"Dennis and his team are executing on a sound strategy," said Kurt Jensen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan Communications. "This is encouraging and welcome news on the heels of some recent high profile struggles in the MVNO space. While many MVNO players have failed, we have proven to retailers to have a sound strategy which is sustainable. We are beginning to harvest the fruits of our wireless model."
Titan recently issued revenue guidance for fiscal 2008 that includes Titan Wireless' expected $23.5 million contribution to the Company's stated overall revenue guidance of between $735 and $747 million for fiscal 2008.
