$620 Million in Recent Government Contract Awards with More Than $1.2 Billion in Annualized Revenue: Circle8 Group (N A S D A Q: CIRC)

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. - EntSun -- For investors seeking emerging companies executing transformational growth strategies, Circle8 Group, Inc. (N A S D A Q: CIRC) has quickly become one of the more compelling stories in the technology services sector. Formerly Atlantic International Corp., the company has rapidly evolved into a global technology and workforce solutions platform serving enterprise customers and government agencies throughout North America and Europe.

Over the past several months, Circle8 has announced a series of significant developments that collectively demonstrate both accelerating commercial momentum and the successful execution of management's long-term vision. Following the acquisition of Circle8 Group earlier this year, the company has officially rebranded under the Circle8 name, expanded its leadership team, reported record financial results, and secured more than $620 million in major public-sector technology contract awards and extensions across the Netherlands.

As governments and enterprises continue investing heavily in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud modernization, software engineering, and digital infrastructure, Circle8 believes its integrated operating model positions the company to capitalize on one of the fastest-growing segments of the global technology industry.

• Annualized revenue now exceeds $1.2 billion
• Record first-quarter 2026 revenue of $249.9 million
• Revenue increased 143% year-over-year

A New Name Reflecting a Much Larger Company

Winning Large Government Technology Contracts

Circle8 continues to demonstrate that its integrated technology model resonates with large public-sector customers.

Earlier this year, the company secured a four-year technology services agreement valued at approximately $380 million with the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (DUO Groningen). Shortly thereafter, Circle8 announced another four-year government contract with the Dutch Vehicle Authority (RDW) carrying a minimum value of approximately $52 million.

Momentum continued in July when the company announced a one-year extension valued at approximately $175 million annually with Rijkswaterstaat, the executive agency of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.

These awards reinforce Circle8's role as one of the Netherlands' leading technology partners for mission-critical public infrastructure and digital transformation initiatives.

Commercial Momentum Continues

The company's latest announcement further strengthened its growing recurring revenue base.

Circle8 recently announced extensions of two additional long-standing Dutch public-sector agreements:

• Waternet, representing approximately $11.7 million annually
• De Bevelanden, representing approximately $8.2 million annually

Together, the contracts add roughly $20 million in annual recurring revenue while further validating Circle8's long-standing relationships with government organizations throughout the Netherlands.

Including these latest awards, Circle8 has now announced more than $620 million in major government technology opportunities during 2026 alone, illustrating continued demand for its integrated technology consulting and managed services platform.

Record Financial Results Showcase the New Platform

Circle8's first-quarter 2026 financial results marked the first reporting period reflecting the acquisition of Circle8 Group.

The results demonstrated the scale of the combined organization:

• Revenue increased 143% to $249.9 million
• Gross profit rose 92% to $21.4 million
• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $24.1 million
• Combined operations now exceed $1.2 billion in annualized revenue

The acquisition significantly expanded the company's geographic footprint while creating a transatlantic technology platform capable of serving enterprise and government customers across two continents.

Positioned for Long-Term Technology Growth

Rather than competing solely as a staffing provider, Circle8 now delivers integrated solutions across four complementary business segments:

• Technology Consulting
• Technology Solutions
• Managed Services
• Technology Workforce Solutions

This strategy enables customers to engage a single strategic partner for everything from advisory services and specialized technology professionals to complete project delivery and long-term operational support.

As organizations increasingly consolidate vendors while expanding investments in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud migration, software engineering and digital infrastructure, Circle8 believes its comprehensive capabilities create opportunities for larger engagements, deeper customer relationships and higher recurring revenue.

Why Investors Are Watching Circle8

Several characteristics differentiate Circle8 from many smaller publicly traded technology companies.

The company has rapidly scaled into a business generating more than $1.2 billion in annualized revenue, while simultaneously expanding higher-value technology services that complement its workforce solutions business.

Its growing portfolio of government contracts provides meaningful revenue visibility and establishes long-term customer relationships that can lead to additional technology opportunities over time.

Meanwhile, management continues integrating the acquired operations, focusing on operational efficiencies, cross-selling opportunities and expanding margins as the combined organization matures.

For investors, the combination of large-scale revenue, recurring public-sector business, expanding international operations and exposure to long-term digital transformation trends creates an investment profile that could become increasingly attractive if execution continues.

Looking Ahead

Circle8 Group $CIRC enters the second half of 2026 with considerable momentum.

The successful corporate relaunch, strengthening executive leadership, record financial performance and expanding government contract portfolio all point toward a company executing on a clearly defined long-term strategy.

With more than $620 million in recently announced public-sector contract awards and extensions, annualized revenue exceeding $1.2 billion, and increasing demand for enterprise technology solutions across AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing and digital infrastructure, Circle8 appears well positioned to continue expanding its presence in attractive global technology markets.

As management focuses on integration, operational execution and leveraging its diversified technology platform, Circle8 Group has established itself as an emerging company that growth-oriented investors may want to watch closely as its transformation continues.
