Shareholder Letter – 120 Days on Nasdaq
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 haveactively 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, underscoring our upside potential.
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 $34 million in revenue and 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.
In closing, I want to emphasize that IQSTEL's progress over the past 120 days on Nasdaq has been a direct result of the strong foundation we have built and the clear vision we are executing. We remain fully committed to delivering on our targets, scaling our high-margin businesses, and creating lasting value for our shareholders.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Sincerely,
Leandro Iglesias
