NEW YORK, NY -- June 4, 2024 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- 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.
