**Shareholder Questions and Management Responses**

The following questions were collected by email prior to the meeting and during the live Q&A session. Management addressed each question in full.

**1. What was the Company's most important financial achievement in 2025?**

In 2025, IQSTEL reached several major financial milestones that significantly strengthened the Company's foundation.

During the third quarter, the Company surpassed a **$400 million annualized revenue run rate** and reported a **$2.7 million adjusted EBITDA run rate** from its operating business.

Following the completion of the **Globetopper acquisition**, IQSTEL achieved a more diversified revenue mix of approximately **80% telecom and 20% fintech**, advancing its transformation into a global, multi-revenue-stream corporation.

In addition, the Company reported that it is now **convertible-debt-free**, with **no convertible notes and no warrants outstanding**, materially strengthening the balance sheet and enhancing shareholder value.

**2. How does the Company plan to achieve a $15 million EBITDA run rate in 2026?**

The Company's plan is based on a disciplined combination of **operational execution** and **strategic growth**, including:

**a) Operational optimization and organic growth**

IQSTEL is focused on reducing costs, consolidating operations, improving efficiency, and developing new products and business lines designed to expand margins and profitability.

**b) Strategic acquisitions**

The Company plans to execute key acquisitions, each targeted to contribute **seven-figure annual EBITDA**, accelerating profitability while strengthening the overall business platform.

**3. How does the Company plan to finance these strategic acquisitions?**

IQSTEL has been working with a commercial bank that has expressed interest in financing at least one acquisition using a structure based on the **free cash flow generated by the acquired business** once integrated into IQSTEL.

At the same time, the Company continues to work closely with long-term investors to implement a **multi-year funding strategy**, designed to support the acquisition plan over the next five years and aligned with the Company's objective of becoming a **profitable company with over $1 billion in revenue by 2027**.

**4. How will the Company improve communication with shareholders?**

In 2026, IQSTEL is entering a new phase of governance and transparency.

Key initiatives include:

• Increasing the Board of Directors' meeting cadence to **two meetings per month**

• Introducing **quarterly earnings calls**, where management will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Review financial results

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Discuss strategic progress

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Address shareholder questions directly

Additionally, for each significant strategic acquisition, the Company plans to **seek shareholder approval via proxy**, providing a clear summary of the transaction's economics so shareholders can make informed decisions.

**5. Why does management believe the Company is undervalued, and what is the plan to close that gap?**

Management believes IQSTEL is undervalued based on its financial fundamentals and execution record. As reported in Q3, the Company disclosed:

• **$12.23 in assets per share**

• **$4.66 in stockholders' equity per share**

• **No dilutive convertible debt**

To close the valuation gap, the Company has implemented an active investor engagement strategy, including:

• Webinars with family offices

• Investor roadshows

• Executive interviews

• Continuous market communication

These efforts will be further strengthened through quarterly earnings calls and shareholder-approved strategic acquisitions. Management believes that continued execution and improving financial results will lead the market to increasingly recognize IQSTEL's intrinsic value.

**6. What is IQSTEL's AI strategy, and what should shareholders expect in 2026?**

IQSTEL's AI strategy is a **core differentiation factor** within the telecom and digital services industry. The Company views AI as a strategic tool to enhance product quality, improve operational efficiency, and better serve multiple industry verticals.

Currently, IQSTEL has two production-ready AI products:

• **AIRWEB** – An AI-powered digital assistant for web-based customer interactions, sales, and support.

• **IQ2CALL** – An AI-driven voice and call automation platform designed for telecom and enterprise environments.

In addition, the Company is in the process of launching a **new AI service**, expected to be introduced ahead of its participation at **Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this March**.

The Company has already begun to gain commercial traction in AI, including increased customer interest, qualified business leads, and early deployments. Management expects AI-driven products to generate **seven-figure annual revenue by 2027**, further strengthening IQSTEL's positioning as an innovative, technology-driven global company.

**Closing Remarks**

We thank all shareholders for their continued support, engagement, and trust. IQSTEL remains committed to executing its strategy with discipline, transparency, and a long-term perspective. The opportunities ahead are significant, and we look forward to another productive year.

Sincerely,
