Pareteum Announces $94 Million Revenue Backlog and Expects Q3 2017 Revenues to Exceed Analyst Expectations
• 57% Quarter-over-Quarter Growth in Revenue Backlog
• Third Quarter Results Conference Call to be Held on or before November 14, 2017
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, September 27, 2017 – Pareteum Corporation (NYSE American: TEUM), (“Pareteum” or the “Company”), the rapidly growing mobile Cloud Communications Platform company, today announced it has executed agreements that are expected to result in a record $94,000,000 revenue backlog approximately, and consequentially, a 352% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) in its revenue backlog since January 1, 2017. Bolstered by 3 new agreements totaling $29,000,000 in revenue backlog signed during past 9 days alone, Q3 revenue backlog increased 57% over Q2.
“We concluded the second quarter with a break-away-from-the-pack revenue backlog increase, and it is one that has escalated significantly in the third quarter, with a 57% growth rate in our revenue backlog during such third quarter. This is the scorecard, but the basis of these results is, we believe, found in how our services and solutions solve customer problems, saving materially in operations expense, and most importantly creating faster revenue for our customers and opening new sources of revenue that would have previously required multiple vendors and complex system integrations,” stated Hal Turner, Executive Chairman of Pareteum.
“In thinking back to the second quarter of 2017, when analyst estimates were $3.0 million and the Company came in at $3.24 million in revenues, I am reminded that our customers decided matters with their willingness to continue buying our services. We anticipate that in the third quarter, we will again exceed analysts’ estimated revenues of $3.1 million by a very comfortable margin,” Turner concluded.
The Company’s Third Quarter 2017 earnings conference call is expected to be held on or before November 14, 2017.
