What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- International termination volumes and FTTH broadband expansion underpinned a 72% FY revenue increase to $18.26M and a materially lower FY net loss of $2.95M; CEO highlighted “remarkable growth” and momentum .
- Sequential quarterly improvement in 2024 (Q2→Q3): revenue rose to $5.02M and EPS improved to $(0.002), reflecting mix and cost alignment, with technology services emerging in Q3 .
- Strategy: advancing FTTH conversion (higher ARPU, lower servicing costs), and developing CADNZ CRM with AI/Big Data integration to diversify revenue streams .
“GlobalTech… achieved remarkable growth in 2024, with a 72% increase in revenue and a significant reduction in losses… demand for our FTTH broadband continues to surge” — Dana Green, CEO .
What Went Wrong
- Leverage and liquidity constraints: ~$6.29M debt and ~$1.31M lease liabilities at FY-end; missed TFC installments since 2019 with enforcement actions on pledged shares; high borrowing costs and covenants pose ongoing risks .
- Material uncertainties about going concern at subsidiary level (WTL): accumulated losses and current liabilities exceeding current assets by ~$29.65M as of 12/31/24 .
- Control environment: identified material weakness in disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting (inadequate staffing/segregation of duties), persisting through 2024 .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
(No Q4 2024 call transcript available. Themes reflect Q2/Q3 MD&A and Q4 press release/10-K.)
Management Commentary
- Strategic focus: expanding FTTH to improve ARPU and lower service costs; leveraging metro fiber footprint across 20 cities; pursuing technology solutions (CADNZ) and AI/Big Data initiatives to diversify growth .
- Quote: “We anticipate this strong momentum to continue as we advance our implementation… actively exploring new expansion opportunities across multiple verticals and evaluating the potential for an uplisting to the Nasdaq market.” — CEO Dana Green .
- Operational context: international termination revenue growth through bulk billing strategies; continued engagement with interconnect partners domestically and abroad .
Q&A Highlights
- No Q4 2024 earnings call transcript or Q&A was available in the document set. The company furnished FY results via an 8-K press release and filed its 10-K; no call commentary or analyst Q&A found (Ex 99.1 press release), .
Estimates Context
- Wall Street consensus (S&P Global) coverage appears unavailable; we did not receive EPS or revenue consensus values for Q4 2024 or FY 2024. As a result, a beat/miss assessment versus consensus cannot be made based on S&P Global data. Values retrieved from S&P Global: Revenue Consensus/Actual fields returned no consensus for Q4/FY; only actuals were present, which are already captured above .*
Where estimates may need to adjust:
- Given FY revenue outperformance and operating loss reduction, any future coverage should reflect stronger telecom termination volume trends and FTTH mix shift noted in 2024 filings .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Execution improved through 2024 with FY revenue +72% to $18.26M and operating loss nearly halved; quarterly trends (Q2→Q3) support momentum despite the absence of discrete Q4 detail .
- FTTH strategy is core: conversion to fiber raises ARPU and lowers servicing costs, with phase 1 complete in key Lahore districts and broader rollout planned .
- International termination remains a primary growth lever, aided by bulk billing, though margins are sensitive to interconnect costs and regulatory rates .
- Balance sheet and cash dynamics require close monitoring: debt service obligations, prior missed TFC installments, and high-rate funding create liquidity and covenant risk .
- Regulatory/legal overhang is substantial (PTA/Tax disputes, license renewals), which can affect operations, cash outflows, and spectrum; diligence on case progress is important .
- Control remediation is a prerequisite for any uplisting narrative; the company disclosed material weaknesses in controls and ineffective disclosure controls across 2024 .
- Near-term trading implications: possible positive sentiment on growth+loss reduction and FTTH momentum vs. headline risk from legal/regulatory items and financing constraints; medium-term thesis hinges on scaling FTTH/technology revenues while de-risking leverage and governance .
