IQST – iQSTEL Announces $290 Million 2024 Annual Revenue
Forecast
NEW YORK, June 4, 2024 --
iQSTEL Inc. (OTC-QX: IQST) (www.iQSTEL.com) a US-based, multinational,
fully reporting and audited publicly listed telecommunications and technology company preparing for a Nasdaq up-listing today announced
increasing it’s revenue forecast for FY-2024 to $290 million revenue. The forecast increase is based both on anticipated organic
growth and the revenue contribution from the recent QXTEL acquisition.
iQSTEL reported $144.5 million in audited revenue
for FY-2023. The $290 million revenue forecast for FY-2024 announced today represents a year to year revenue increase of more than 100%.
At this time, the $290 million FY-2024
revenue forecast does not include any contribution from the recently announced acquisition of Lynk Telecom anticipated
to close not later than July 1, 2024. The company may revise its forecast higher following the Lynk Telecom acquisition closing.
Based on preliminary accounting,
the company realized $54 million in revenue for the combined months of April and May. This represents substantial revenue growth over
iQSTEL’s $51.4 million in revenue for the first three months of this year reported in the recently published, auditor reviewed,
Q1 FY-2024 report.
Organic Growth Driving Overall Revenue
Growth
While the revenue from acquisitions is adding
to revenue growth, it is important to highlight the organic growth that is fueling the more substantial overall growth.
iQSTEL executed acquisitions in 2022 and 2021
and reported annual revenue growth of approximately 44% each year. In 2023, the company executed no acquisitions and reported revenue
growth of approximately 55% driven completely by organic sales expansion.
The company’s increased organic growth
in 2023 demonstrates the effectiveness of our ability to integrate acquired operations. By making acquired businesses part of iQSTEL’s
overall product portfolio, we are able to drive increased organic growth through cross selling and collective sales efficiencies.
Accordingly, our sales forecast announced today
does not just reflect the simple addition of acquired revenue, but the projected organic growth anticipated from the effective integration
of acquired operations. Based on our history of successfully integrating previously acquired operations and increasing overall organic
growth, we believe our current organic growth projections are sound.
Bottom Line Growth Projections
In addition to the $290 million FY-2024 revenue
forecast, iQSTEL is forecasting $7.5 million in gross profit for FY-2024 compared to $4.6 million reported in FY-2023. The company reported
$1.3 million in gross profit for Q1 FY-2024. Management has a positive operating income of seven digits forecast for FY-2024.
We are pleased with the bottom line projections
for the current fiscal year but want to highlight the even larger expectation for the bottom line beyond this fiscal year.
The revenue growth from the recent acquisitions
and the organic revenue growth that will subsequently result from the recent acquisitions will be realized before the downstream bottom
line benefits of the increased revenue is fully realized. The operational efficiencies from streamlining multiple operations takes more
time to flow to the bottom line than do the benefits of increased revenue. We expect even greater bottom line benefit next year resulting
from the revenue growth we achieve this year.
Mr. Iglesias commented, “The
Company is experiencing exponential revenue growth this year. We are literally skyrocketing in FY-2024. We are well on track to more
than double the company’s revenue in FY-2024. Following a recent planning session in Washington at the International
Telecom Week (ITW) Conference, we believe the company is on the path to becoming in a telecommunications
powerhouse. Our exceptional recent performance is coinciding with our homestretch push to finalize a Nasdaq uplisting.
