IQST - IQSTEL to Host Q2 2026 Earnings Call August 19 Following Record $207 Million First-Half Revenue as Company Enters EBITDA Expansion Phase

Company to discuss its $400+ million annualized revenue run rate, expected Adjusted EBITDA expansion to $8–$9 million following the upcoming Ultranet acquisition, the growing contribution of Digital Services, and continued initiatives to expand investor awareness

NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IQSTEL Inc. (NASDAQ: IQST) ("IQSTEL" or the "Company"), a rapidly growing multinational telecommunications and technology company, today invited shareholders and the investment community to participate in its Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 8:00 AM Eastern Time.

Management believes this will be an especially important earnings call as IQSTEL discusses the Company's record $207 million in revenue for the first half of 2026, representing an annualized revenue run rate of more than $400 million, and outlines what management believes is the beginning of the Company's next major phase of growth: Adjusted EBITDA expansion.

Following years of building revenue scale, expanding internationally, and developing a global commercial platform, IQSTEL believes it is now positioned to increasingly translate that scale into stronger profitability.

During the call, management plans to provide shareholders with additional perspective on several key developments shaping IQSTEL's next phase:

• Record First-Half Revenue: IQSTEL reported approximately $207 million in revenue during the first six months of 2026, positioning the Company at an annualized revenue run rate exceeding $400 million.
  
  
• Entering the EBITDA Expansion Phase: Following years of building scale and expanding its global commercial platform, IQSTEL is now increasingly focused on converting that scale into stronger profitability and cash generation. Management believes this represents an important evolution in the Company's growth story — from building revenue scale to expanding Adjusted EBITDA.
  
  
• Ultranet Acquisition: Management will discuss the upcoming acquisition of Ultranet and its expected contribution to the combined business. Following the acquisition, IQSTEL expects its Adjusted EBITDA run rate to increase to approximately $8–$9 million, representing a significant step forward in the Company's profitability strategy.
  
  
• Telecom + Digital Services: Management will explain IQSTEL's evolution into two complementary business pillars — IQSTEL Telecom and IQSTEL Digital Services. The Company's established global telecommunications platform provides the scale, infrastructure, commercial relationships, and international reach that IQSTEL intends to leverage to accelerate the commercialization of higher-margin Digital Services.
  
  
• Digital Services Already Represent Approximately 12.5% of Revenue: Management will provide additional insight into the Company's Digital Services division, which today represents approximately 12.5% of IQSTEL's revenue, currently driven primarily by the Company's subsidiary GlobeTopper. The Company believes Digital Services can become an increasingly important contributor to both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA as IQSTEL leverages its existing global telecom platform and extensive commercial relationships to accelerate the commercialization of higher-margin technology solutions.
  
  
• Expanding Investor Awareness – Recent CNBC Interview: IQSTEL continues executing initiatives designed to increase awareness of the Company and its growth story across the investment community. As part of these efforts, IQSTEL CEO Leandro Iglesias recently appeared in a short interview clip with Seth Farbman on CNBC, discussing the Company's growth, business strategy, and outlook.

"We strongly encourage our shareholders to join us for this earnings call because we believe IQSTEL is reaching an important inflection point in its evolution," said Leandro Iglesias, CEO of IQSTEL.

"We have built a business generating more than $400 million in annualized revenue, and our focus is now increasingly shifting toward EBITDA expansion. The upcoming Ultranet acquisition, together with the continued development of our Digital Services division, represents the next stage of our strategy.

"During the call, we look forward to explaining how our Telecom and Digital Services businesses work together, how Digital Services already represents approximately 12.5% of our revenue, and why we believe the global platform we have built over nearly two decades creates a powerful foundation for our next phase of profitable growth. At the same time, we continue working to increase awareness of IQSTEL and communicate our progress to a broader investment audience."
