NEW YORK, July 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Pareteum Corporation (NYSE American: TEUM), the rapidly growing Cloud Communications Platform company, announced today that the Company expects to report revenues of at least $5.75 million, which represents approximately 78% growth for the second quarter ended June 30, 2018, as compared to a year ago. The second quarter's expected 2018 revenues will represent an approximate 40% sequential growth over the first quarter of 2018, demonstrating the strong growth in connections that was previously reported in the first quarter of 2018.
Connections, which are a lead indicator of revenue, rose to approximately 2,713,600 as of June 30, 2018, representing a 22.5% quarter over quarter growth in 2018. The year over year increase, from the end of the second quarter 2017 to the end of the second quarter 2018, was a significant 225%, providing management the confidence to increase its projected 2018 revenue outlook to a substantial 80% annual revenue growth over 2017's year-end totals.
Hal Turner, Executive Chairman and Principal Executive Officer of Pareteum, commented, "Our TEUM surged into 2018 with strong first quarter results, demonstrated by the acceleration in revenues and connections. This momentum has continued into the second quarter, at an accelerating rate, because of rapid conversions of our 36 Month Contractual Revenue Backlog. We see this translating into our best quarter, ever. We anticipate continued improvement in our results and execution of our long-term strategies, aimed at open mobility and open applications, globally delivered as part of excellent customer experiences in every engagement."
Pareteum's second quarter, ended June 30, 2018, earnings and results update call is expected to be held during the week of August 6, 2018.
