More from the news:
Dear Shareholders,
It has now been 120 days
since IQSTEL (NASDAQ: IQST) uplisted to the Nasdaq, and I am pleased to report
that our Company continues to deliver strong results while accelerating its
expansion as a Global Connectivity, AI & Digital Corporation.
Over this short period, we
have demonstrated that IQSTEL is uniquely positioned to capture growth across
multiple high-value industries. Our four strategic business lines — Telecommunications,
Fintech, Artificial Intelligence, and Cybersecurity — give us both
diversification and the ability to leverage synergies across our business
platform. Today, IQSTEL operates in more than 20 countries and maintains
commercial relationships with over 600 of the world’s largest telecom
operators. This reach is the cornerstone of our ability to layer additional
high-margin services, including AI, fintech, and cybersecurity, on top of our
global business platform.
Just in the
last 120 days, we have actively participated in some of the world’s
largest telecommunications and fintech industry events. These venues not
only reinforce our presence among global leaders but also strengthen our
relationships and accelerate opportunities to cross-sell high-margin services
to the industry’s largest players.
Recent
events attended include:
• GCCM
Europe 2025 – Berlin
• MWC
Shanghai 2025 – Shanghai
• Capacity
Eurasia 2025 – Istanbul
• IMA
Summit 2025 – Texas
• All
Wireless & Prepaid Expo – Las Vegas
• ITW
Africa 2025 – Nairobi
• WWC
2025 – Madrid
One of the fastest-growing
areas within our Company is our IQSTEL Intelligence Division, which is
already exceeding our expectations. Recent milestones include the ONAR
partnership, a Mobility Tech partnership, and our Cycurion
alliance, all of which position us to integrate cutting-edge AI and
cybersecurity solutions into our platform. In addition, there are three more
contracts currently in our sales funnel, which we expect to close before the
end of this year. These developments reinforce our confidence in IQSTEL
Intelligence as a key driver of our growth strategy.
Our partnership
with Cycurion is particularly important. Through our recent stock exchange
swap, Cycurion has become a true “sibling company.” This relationship
enables IQSTEL to deliver advanced cybersecurity services powered by
Cycurion’s specialized U.S. government solutions. With Cycurion’s expertise
already trusted by U.S. federal agencies, we now have a unique opportunity to
extend these high-tech cybersecurity solutions to our global telecom and
enterprise clients.
Financially, IQSTEL
continues to progress along a trajectory of sustained growth. We remain on
track toward achieving our $1 billion revenue target by 2027 and our $15
million EBITDA run rate in 2026. In July 2025 alone, we delivered $35
million in revenue, surpassing a $400 million annual run rate five
months ahead of schedule. As of the second quarter, our assets per share
reached $17.41, with results that outperformed across net equity, gross
revenue, margins, net income, and adjusted EBITDA throughout our operations.
We also
continue to strengthen our balance sheet, most recently through a $6.9
million debt reduction, which equates to nearly $2 per share.
Importantly, half of this $6.9 million reduction came from debt voluntarily
converted by investors into Preferred Shares. This conversion underscores
the confidence our investors have in IQSTEL’s plan and vision, as well
as their full support of our management team and Board of Directors. These
steps position IQSTEL with greater financial flexibility to execute its growth
strategy.
Looking ahead, M&A
will remain a core component of our strategy. Over the next 12 months, we
plan to explore additional target acquisitions to expand our bottom line.
We have already identified three potential candidates, with initial
conversations expected to begin this year. By combining these opportunities
with our robust and unique business platform — built around
relationships with over 600 of the world’s largest telecom operators — we are
uniquely positioned to introduce high-tech, high-margin services to an unmatched
global customer base.
Our growth has not gone
unnoticed by the investment community. Today, approximately 12 institutional
investors hold about 4% of IQST shares, just 120 days after our Nasdaq
uplisting. In addition, Litchfield Hills Research has issued a detailed
report on IQSTEL with an $18 price target.
Strategic alliances remain
a central pillar of our roadmap. Together with Cycurion, we executed a $1
million stock exchange and dividend distribution. As part of this
partnership, IQSTEL will distribute $500,000 in Cycurion Nasdaq shares
to our shareholders, further enhancing shareholder value while reinforcing our
AI and cybersecurity collaboration.
Innovation also remains at
the core of our growth strategy. The launch of www.IQ2Call.ai represents
a bold step forward in our proprietary AI-Telecom integration. This platform
targets the $750 billion global market with applications ranging from
customer care to healthcare call centers in the U.S., where we are already
moving forward with implementation.
Finally, our acquisition of
Globetopper, completed on July 1, 2025, is forecasted to
contribute positive EBITDA in the second half of 2025. This acquisition
not only accelerates our fintech growth but also complements our diversified
business model, which today reflects a revenue mix of 80% telecommunications
and 20% fintech. With the continued expansion of our fintech and AI &
digital services, we expect these segments to play an increasingly important
role in driving both revenue and profitability.
