AUSTIN, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#OwnYourData—Phunware, Inc. (NASDAQ: PHUN) (the “Company”), a fully-integrated enterprise cloud platform for mobile that provides products, solutions, data and services for brands worldwide, today announced its addition to the FTSE Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® Indices, following the Russell US Indices’ Annual Reconstitution, effective after the market close on June 28, 2019.
“We are pleased to benchmark Phunware’s growth with our addition to the Russell 2000® and Russell 3000® Indices, which offer global platforms for increasing our visibility and exposure to leading institutional investors worldwide,” said Alan S. Knitowski, CEO and Co-Founder of Phunware.
“Inclusion into the most widely-followed benchmarks for small-cap and broader-market growth companies is a testament to the growth and performance we have achieved over our first decade in business,” commented Matt Aune, CFO of Phunware. “We are excited about our operational and financial progress as a newly public company and look forward to introducing our business more broadly to both domestic and international institutional investors.”
The Company’s Multiscreen as a Service (MaaS) platform now processes more than 4 billion transactions daily and the first half of 2019 has been highlighted by a host of important product launches, awards and announcements:
Membership in the Russell 3000® Index, which remains in place for one year, means automatic inclusion in the small-cap Russell 2000® Index, as well as the appropriate growth and value style indices. FTSE Russell determines membership for its Russell US Indices primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes. Russell US Indices are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors as the basis for index funds and as benchmarks for active investment strategies. Approximately $9 trillion in assets are benchmarked against Russell US Indices. Russell US Indices are part of FTSE Russell, a leading global index provider.
