IQSTEL Enters 2026 from a Position of Strength Following Transformational Year Marked by N A S D A Q Uplisting, Record Revenue and First-Ever

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - Rezul -- IQSTEL, Inc. (N A S D A Q: IQST) is emerging as a differentiated global technology platform following a landmark 2025 that fundamentally reshaped the company's scale, credibility, and growth trajectory. With a successful NASDAQ uplisting, a revenue run rate exceeding $400 million, expanding profitability, entry into AI-driven cybersecurity, and the declaration of its first-ever shareholder dividend, IQST appears positioned for what management describes as an unprecedented 2026.

From Telecom Operator to Diversified Global Technology Platform

Operating across 21 countries, IQST delivers high-value services spanning telecommunications, fintech, artificial intelligence, blockchain, cybersecurity, and electric vehicle solutions. The company has spent years building a trusted commercial platform, selling millions of dollars per month to global customers—particularly telecom operators.

By leveraging those established relationships, IQST is now accelerating the rollout of higher-margin, technology-driven products, transforming the business from a traditional telecom operator into a diversified, scalable digital services provider.

This evolution is central to IQST's long-term roadmap, which targets a $15 million EBITDA run rate in 2026 and a $1 billion revenue run rate by 2027 through organic growth, acquisitions, and expanded high-margin offerings.

Record Revenue Growth and Improving Profitability

IQST's financial performance in 2025 underscores the strength of its platform and execution.

In Q3 2025, the company delivered:

• Record quarterly revenue of $102.8 million, representing 42% sequential growth and 90% year-over-year growth
• A revenue run rate of $411.5 million
• Adjusted EBITDA of $683,189 for the quarter
• Adjusted EBITDA run rate of $2.73 million

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, revenue reached $232.6 million, up 26% year-over-year.

Debt-Free N A S D A Q Company with a Clean Capital Structure

In October, $IQST completed the elimination of all convertible notes and fully paid for its most recent acquisitions, officially becoming a debt-free NASDAQ-listed company with no warrants or convertible securities outstanding.

This clean capital structure is notable in the small-cap technology space and reflects management's stated focus on long-term shareholder value, disciplined execution, and financial transparency.

Fintech Division Gains Momentum with Globetopper

IQST's Fintech division, now representing approximately 20% of total revenue, is playing an increasingly important role in profitability.

The acquisition of Globetopper, completed July 1, 2025, is already contributing meaningfully:

• Approximately $16 million in Q3 2025 revenue
• Positive EBITDA contribution in its first full quarter

IQST plans to leverage its existing relationships with more than 600 telecom operators worldwide to cross-sell Globetopper's fintech services, unlocking scale efficiencies and margin expansion.

Strategic Expansion into AI and Cybersecurity

During 2025, IQST formally expanded into AI-enhanced cybersecurity, partnering with Cycurion (N A S D A Q: CYCU). In October, the company completed Phase One of its next-generation cyber defense rollout, integrating its proprietary AI platforms—Airweb.ai and IQ2Call.ai—with Cycurion's ARx multi-layer cybersecurity system.

This milestone positions IQST to deliver secure, AI-powered digital communication and customer engagement solutions to enterprises, telecom operators, and regulated industries.

In parallel, $IQST continues to deploy proprietary AI technologies across its business, including partnerships with U.S.-based healthcare call centers to implement next-generation AI communication systems.

First-Ever Dividend Signals Confidence and Maturity

The dividend, declared in December and distributed to shareholders of record as of December 15, reflects management's confidence in the company's financial position and long-term strategy. It also signals a shift toward a more mature capital allocation approach while maintaining aggressive growth objectives.

Growing Institutional Visibility

Following the N A S D A Q uplisting, IQST has expanded its institutional outreach:

• 20+ institutional investors now hold approximately 5% of outstanding shares
• Management initiated a webinar roadshow targeting institutions and family offices
• Independent research coverage was initiated by Litchfield Hills Research, which issued a report with an $18 price target

These developments are increasing IQST's visibility among long-term investors as it transitions into its next growth phase.

With foundational milestones achieved, IQST enters 2026 focused on execution:

• Scaling high-margin fintech, AI, and cybersecurity services
• Advancing toward a $15 million EBITDA run rate
• Continuing progress toward a $1 billion revenue objective by 2027

Following a year defined by transformation, IQST now appears positioned to capitalize on its expanded platform, strengthened balance sheet, and diversified revenue streams—setting the stage for what could be its most consequential growth phase yet.
