NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --  Pareteum Corporation (NYSE American: TEUM), ("Pareteum" or the "Company"), the rapidly growing Cloud Communications Platform company, today announced that, during the month of January 2018, the Company signed contracts scheduled to add $15,200,000 to its 36-month contractual revenue backlog. The current contractual revenue backlog represents a 400% increase from a year earlier and a 10% month over month increase to the $147,000,000 36-month contractual revenue backlog announced previously on January 3, 2018.

Pareteum's current cash balance is $15.6 million on January 31, 2018, reflecting having fully paid our senior secured loan, in the amount of $8.1 million, and, continuing the improved operations of the business.  Increases in cash balances over prior periods are a result of net equity raised, warrant exercises and continued operational efficiencies. The improved strength of our balance sheet provides the foundation for Pareteum's focus on accelerated growth in 2018 and beyond.

Contracts executed in January 2018 that have meaningfully contributed to Pareteum's accelerating growth, as measured by our 36-month contractual revenue backlog, are:

• $1,000,000 contract from Social Media Provider to Enable Smartphone Services, announced January 4, 2018
• $5,400,000 contract from Pan European Mobile Operator with African Subscribers, announced January 10, 2018
• $3,000,000 contract from South America Data Network Provider to Add Mobility, announced January 17, 2018
• $1,000,000 contract from Brazil Mobile Service Provider, announced January 24, 2018
• $10,000,000 contract awarded to Pareteum Europe for MSP deployment to EMEA customer, announced January 26, 2018

Of note, two of the awarded contracts mentioned above are 5-year agreements, so we have included only the portion expected over the next 36 months.

Hal Turner, Executive Chairman and Principal Executive Officer at Pareteum commented, "Pareteum's performance is highlighted by the growth of our 36-month contractual revenue backlog, currently standing over $162,000,000, which represents a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), measured from the end of 2016's fourth quarter through 2017 of 400%!  Removing the burden of our senior secured debt materially frees cash to be redeployed into our growth.
