Revenue reached $47.3 Million in Q4, nearly doubling Q1.
Operating income reached a positive $184.0K, more than 1.5 times Q3.

iQSTEL has achieved a key milestone by establishing a positive operating and net income trend now demonstrated for two consecutive quarters and this has notably been accomplished without the benefit of any acquisitions in FY-2023. We expect to sustain and increase this positive operating and net income trend throughout FY-2024.

With the imminent closing of the QXTel acquisition executed today April 1^st, 2024, our new goal for FY-2024 is to achieve $500,000 dollars per quarter in operating income.

On behalf of our Independent Board of Directors we want to thank our partners, customers, shareholders, investors, management and our employees for all the loyal support throughout our journey to become a one billion revenue company.

All the Best.

Leandro Iglesias

CEO and Chairman iQSTEL
