RENO, Nev., Nov. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GlobalTech Corporation (GTC, OTC:GTLK)("GlobalTech” or the "Company”), a leading U.S.-based technology investment holding company, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2024.

Q3 2024 Financial Highlights:

• Direct Operating Costs of $4.6 million, compared to $2.2 million in last year's third quarter, due to higher interconnect costs
• Net Loss declined by $1.9 million to ($455,818), from ($2.3 million), in last year's same period, primarily due to the increase in revenues, offset by the increase in direct operating costs
• 100% conversion ratio in select markets for upsell to broadband services

Forward Looking Statements

Certain of the matters discussed in this communication which are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements, that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Words such as "strategy,” "expects,” "continues,” "plans,” "anticipates,” "believes,” "would,” "will,” "estimates,” "intends,” "projects,” "goals,” "targets” and other words of similar meaning are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying these statements. Any statements made in this news release other than those of historical fact, about an action, event or development, are forward-looking statements. The important factors that may cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our need for additional capital, the terms of such capital and potential dilution caused thereby; the fact that we are exposed to foreign currency exchange loss, fluctuation and translation risks related to our business in Pakistan; the international economic environment, geopolitical developments and unexpected global events could cause our business to decline; investing in emerging markets, where our operations are located, is subject to greater risks than investing in more developed markets, including significant political, legal and economic risks; and our revenue performance can be unpredictable by nature, as a large majority of our customers have not entered into long-term fixed contracts with us; we operate in highly competitive markets, which we expect only to become more competitive, and as a result, we may have difficulty expanding our customer base or retaining existing customers; we may be unable to keep pace with technological changes and evolving industry standards, which could harm our competitive position and, in turn, materially harm our business; we are exposed to cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity threats that may lead to compromised or inaccessible telecommunications, digital and financial services, and/or leaks or unauthorized processing of confidential information, and perceptions of such threats may cause customers to lose confidence in our services; the telecommunications industry is highly capital-intensive and requires substantial and ongoing expenditures of capital; and our ability to profitably provide telecommunications services depends in part on the terms of our interconnect agreements and access to third-party-owned infrastructure and networks, over which we have no direct control; we may also be subject to increases in license fees for some of our licenses or to obtain new licenses; the loss of important intellectual property rights, as well as third-party claims that we have infringed on their intellectual property rights, could significantly harm our business; our substantial amounts of indebtedness and debt service obligations could materially decrease our cash flow, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition; we may not be able to raise additional capital, or we may only be able to raise additional capital at significantly increased costs; if Worldcall Telecom Limited issues more shares, our ownership could go below 50%; we are a controlled company; no active trading market for our common stock exists, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained in the future; stockholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of the common stock; concentration of ownership among our existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions; we depend upon key personnel who may terminate their employment with us at any time; our officers and directors may have conflicts of interest; the telecommunications industry is a highly regulated industry, and we are subject to an extensive variety of laws and operate in uncertain judicial and regulatory environments, which may result in unanticipated outcomes that could harm our business; Worldcall Telecom Limited and Worldcall Holding Inc. are incorporated in Pakistan, and their assets are in Pakistan, which may affect shareholder rights, including the ability to enforce civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws; we are, and may in the future be, involved in, associated with, or otherwise subject to legal liability in connection with disputes and litigation with regulators, competitors, and third parties, which, when concluded, could have an adverse impact on our business; our licenses are granted for specific periods and may be suspended, revoked, or we may be unable to extend or replace these licenses upon expiration, and we may be fined or penalized for alleged violations of law, regulations, or license terms; we may be affected by economic downturns both in Pakistan and globally, changes in inflation and interest rates, increased costs of borrowing associated therewith and potential declines in the availability of such funding; and risks relating to future divestitures, asset sales, joint ventures and acquisitions.

Other important factors that may cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements included in this communication are described in GlobalTech's publicly filed reports, including, but not limited to, GlobalTech's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (as amended), and GlobalTech's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and future Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to our results calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP”), in this news release we also present certain non-U.S. GAAP financial measures. Non-U.S. GAAP financial measures include Adjusted EBITDA. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this news release as a supplement to GAAP measures of performance to provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing GlobalTech and its results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it provides additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. Adjusted EBITDA is also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments. For example, although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Additionally, other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than GlobalTech does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of GlobalTech's results as reported under GAAP. GlobalTech's presentation of this measure should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view this non-GAAP measure in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

For more information on Adjusted EBITDA, please see the section titled "Unaudited Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss,” at the end of this release.
