million after reaching a record high level of sales for one month in April and then breaking that record in May. The company surpassed $11

million, approximately 39% higher than the same period in 2022. iQSTEL achieved $93 million in revenue in FY-2022 and
is on track to meet or surpass its new FY-2023 Revenue Forecast of $120 million which would represent a 29% increase over FY-2022.
CEO Leandro Iglesias said,
"Our core enhanced telecommunications technology business is growing organically better than we expected and our initiative to expand
on our core business with products and services that increase our margins is proceeding as anticipated and as demonstrated in our Q1-2023

mature operation that consistently produces the type of predictable results we are now seeing regularly. As we continue to deliver
on predictable results, we build confidence for even longer-term performance predictions. Long-term performance confidence is the
catalyst for share price appreciation. I am optimistic, even in the face of the prevailing market conditions, that our share price
will soon better reflect our performance.

IQST-iQSTEL Q2
Revenue Exceeds Expectations Increasing 32% Over Q1 To $32.5 Million
NEW YORK, July 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- iQSTEL Inc. (OTCQX: IQST), today announced revenue for Q2-2023 exceeded expectations. Based on preliminary accounting,

to quarter.
"We are on pace to
exceed our $120 million annual revenue forecast," said CEO Leandro Iglesias." The company historically has
higher revenue in the second half of the fiscal year than the first. iQSTEL launched in 2018 and achieved $13.78
million in revenue in that first year. We could exceed ten times that number this year. The company's organic
growth is exceeding management's expectations, and we continue to develop substantial merger and acquisition opportunities. It is
safe to say, 2023 will be iQSTEL's best year yet since our launch in 2018. On behalf of all management, we believe this will
be a transformational year for the company."
