In addition to continued rapid revenue growth in FY2021, management expects to report increased profits.

iQSTEL ended Q1 with more than $2 Million in cash putting the company in an ideal position to pursue its expansion plans in the balance of FY2021.

A key component of iQSTEL's FY2021 Operations Plan is to invest in their current operating subsidiaries, to improve their respective balance sheets, increase working capital, and facilitate organic growth.

The Company has already increased the working capital of their SwissLink subsidiary from 500,000 CHF to 1 Million CHF (1 CHF is equal to 1.07 USD), providing a solid foundation for the SwissLink's growth of this year.

iQSTEL recently announced the elimination of all promissory notes and warrants. The dramatic debt reduction and debt burden carrying cost makes a substantial contribution to improved profits.

iQSTEL has grown both organically and through merger and acquisition (M&A). The company's M&A campaign continues and could push revenue growth past the current FY2021 $60.5 million forecast. The consolidation of future acquired operations could also further contribute to improved profit margins.
