between 2025 and 2034.”

“The growing dependence on AI-based solutions within

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 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.

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.
