Desert Control's Breakthrough Year: A Green Oasis in the Stock Market

In the ever-evolving landscape of the stock market, it's crucial to keep an eye on companies that are not only profitable but also make a positive impact on the world. Desert Control AS (DSRT), a Norwegian company specializing in sustainable soil health solutions, has just released its Q4 2024 report and year-to-date company update, painting a picture of a green oasis in the market.

Desert Control delivered a breakthrough year in 2024, securing its first full-scale commercial golf course clients, progressing agriculture pilots to larger deployments, increasing licensing revenue in the Middle East, and advancing technology scalability to accelerate commercialization and unlock high-volume deployments. The company's revenues and project volumes more than doubled from the previous year, positioning it for a more than tenfold increase in LNC volume and revenues for 2025.

One of the key factors driving Desert Control's success is its innovative pay-as-you-save model for golf course deployments. Instead of requiring clients to pay the full amount upfront, the company offers a recurring revenue model that allows customers to pay for the service over time, aligning with the benefits they receive. This model provides immediate financial benefits to customers, shortens sales cycles, and accelerates adoption. For Desert Control, this approach has already proven successful, with the company securing agreements for 2025 deployments with two California golf courses, with a total contract value potential exceeding NOK 14 million.

Another significant driver of Desert Control's growth is its licensing revenue growth in the Middle East. The company has seen a significant increase in licensing revenue and deployment activity, with projects in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia tripling from Q3 to Q4 2024. This expansion indicates a growing demand for Desert Control's technology in the region, driven by expanding projects in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, commercial real estate projects in the UAE, and collaboration with Estidama to advance LNC for sustainable agriculture in Saudi Arabia.



Desert Control's collaboration with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) Innovation Accelerator program is another significant milestone for the company. The company's LNC technology was selected for a funded demonstration project in Iraq through the WFP Innovation Accelerator's SPRINT program. This project aims to restore degraded land into fertile soil, creating a blueprint for drought response, food security, and climate resilience. By participating in this program, Desert Control can showcase the real-world impact of its LNC technology on a global scale, gain exposure to new markets, and contribute to critical environmental and food security challenges.

In conclusion, Desert Control's breakthrough year in 2024 demonstrates the company's potential to make a positive impact on the environment while generating significant value for its shareholders. With its innovative pay-as-you-save model, expanding presence in the Middle East, and collaboration with the United Nations World Food Programme, Desert Control is well-positioned for solid growth in its soil health and water conservation markets. As investors seek out companies that balance profitability and sustainability, Desert Control stands out as a green oasis in the stock market.
