REGINA, Saskatchewan, Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Information Services Corporation (TSX:ISC) (“ISC” or the“Company”) today shared its 2024 highlights, reflecting a strong start towards achieving the Company's strategic growth objectives for 2028. These accomplishments reflect the Company's commitment to expanding its service offerings both federally and internationally, enhancing technological innovation and strengthening its leadership position in the registry and information services markets.

“2024 is expected to be another record-breaking year for ISC as we commenced our mission to double the size of our business by 2028,” said Shawn Peters, President and CEO.“From launching transformative solutions to strengthening our global footprint, ISC has demonstrated resilience and ambition in delivering value to stakeholders.”

During the course of 2024, ISC expanded its portfolio of registries by assuming operational responsibility for the Bank Act Security Registry (“BASR”) on behalf of the Bank of Canada and secured a $10 million contract to deliver a digital commercial registry system for Liechtenstein. These achievements, combined with the renewal of the Ontario Property Tax Assessment agreement with the Province of Ontario until 2028, showcase ISC's growing presence in both established and new markets, solidifying its reputation as a leader in registry solutions​.

Furthermore, ISC's Services segment experienced robust organic growth driven by increased customer transactions and expanded regulatory solutions. The segment's success was bolstered by its ability to meet rising demand for compliance and recovery solutions, reflecting its value to both new and long-standing clients.

The strength of our two core segments, Registry Operations and Services, re-enforced by a strong Saskatchewan economy and best in class customer service leading to new contract wins, provided predictable cash flows throughout the year, supporting the deleveraging of the Company's balance sheet and achieving sustainable growth.

Overall, ISC is well positioned to build on the momentum achieved in 2024. By expanding its service offerings, launching innovative registries, and securing key contracts in both new and established markets, the Company has demonstrated its commitment to sustainable growth and value creation. ISC is poised to continue driving success across all segments, reinforcing its role as a leader in registry and information management solutions globally.
