For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, AudioEye expects revenue to range between $11.0 million and $13.0 million. Using the mid-point of expectations, this represents an expected increase of more than 100% compared to its expected 2018 revenue of $5.5 million to $5.7 million. Monthly recurring revenue ("MRR") has grown to approximately $600,000 as of November 30, 2018. Cash contract bookings for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 are expected to range between $20.0 million and $22.0 million.  Using the mid-range of expectations, it represents an expected increase of more than 80% compared to expected 2018 bookings between $11.0 million and $12.0 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.

"We are excited to see material growth in both our 'Direct' and 'Partner' business channels. With the significant number of additional implementations that each Partner offers, we expect revenues from our Partner channel clients to represent as much as 20% to 30% of MRR by year-end 2018, and 50% to 60% of MRR by year-end 2019.  Since most of these Partners' underlying clients are billed monthly, we believe our bookings, revenue, and cash flow will converge in this segment," said Company Executive Chairman Carr Bettis. "Renewal rates for the Direct channel continue in the range of mid to high 90%'s and renewal contract terms are increasing in length which further illustrates the confidence our customers have in the AudioEye accessibility solution," added Chairman Bettis.

AudioEye Chief Executive Officer Todd Bankofier commented: "Our accelerating topline growth is a testament not only to the ongoing demand for solutions aimed at addressing the broad issues of digital accessibility, but also, more specifically, our internal efforts at continually refining our go-to-market strategy as well as expanding our sales and implementation teams to meet the building demand we are experiencing. The increasing prevalence of legal cases, the growing public awareness of digital accessibility, and business recognition of the potential for ROI, continue to provide favorable macroeconomic tail winds for our business. AudioEye presents the only 'all-in-one solution' created to address the public call for compliance with WCAG 2.0 AA standards."
