Desert Control Secures Agreement with Woodland Hills Country Club for Deployment of Water Conservation Technology

09 Dec 2024 06:00 CET

Sandnes, Norway, 9 December 2024 - Desert Control AS ("DSRT" or "the Company"),
a leader in soil and water conservation technology, has signed an agreement
through its U.S. subsidiary, Desert Control Americas Inc., with Woodland Hills
Country Club (WHCC) for the deployment of Desert Control's proprietary water
conservation solution across 43 acres of WHCC's golf course located in Woodland
Hills, California.

The agreement is structured around an outcome-based business model that
generates monthly recurring revenue (MRR) for Desert Control, calculated on
achieved water savings with aligned incentives between both parties to maximize
results. The total contract value for Desert Control has the potential to exceed
NOK 8.5 million, contingent on achieving a minimum of 25% water savings over
five years, representing significant economic benefits for Woodland Hills
Country Club, as water cost has become by far the largest operational expense
and continues to rise every year.

"We are honored to collaborate with Woodland Hills Country Club, a partner with
deep historical roots in the golf industry that shares our vision for
sustainability and responsible water management," said Ole Kristian Sivertsen,
CEO of Desert Control. "By adopting our water conservation solution, the club
makes a forward-thinking leap toward reducing water consumption while
maintaining premium turf quality, aligning environmental stewardship with
economic benefits."

The agreement includes implementing Desert Control's water conservation
technology across all fairways, tees, and roughs of the golf course. The rollout
is scheduled to coincide with the club's regular turf aeration and maintenance
activities, targeted for April 2025. Desert Control's solution enhances soil's
water retention capacity, enabling reduced irrigation needs without compromising
turf health or playability.

"This agreement is vital for the long-term economic sustainability of our club,"
said Rick Stegall, General Manager of Woodland Hills Country Club. "As stewards
of a 100-year-old historic property, we are responsible for conserving
resources, contributing to our local community, and protecting this cherished
land for future generations. Water conservation is not just an environmental
goal but a financial imperative, ensuring we can continue to operate efficiently
while providing a premium experience for our members."

This collaboration reinforces Desert Control's ability to deliver measurable
impact through outcome-based business models.
