CEO Padma Ravichander: Impressive Revenue and Order Book Growth Continues
Tecnotree delivered strong revenue growth and robust margins again in the third
quarter. The revenue recorded is the highest in the last five years and order
book is highest in the last nine years. Tecnotree continued to witness high
acceptance for its Digital BSS Suite, especially in the Middle East and Africa
(MEA) region. With each win and delivery, we continue to prove our product and
scalable delivery capabilities including 5G, cloud native and remote deployment
abilities. We expect the digital transformation to continue at a fast pace in

Tecnotree. Additionally, Tecnotree has also made exciting advances in the B2B2C
venture via its Tecnotree Moments platform.
In the third quarter, Tecnotree further enhanced its balance sheet position by
raising ~EUR 22 million through directed share issue. We also retired the
outstanding debt to become debt-free and came out of restructuring program which
will help us in enhancing our customer portfolio and partnerships.
Tecnotree continues to monitor the Covid-19 pandemic situation and take
necessary actions and mitigation steps to reduce any impact it may cause. We

redundancy globally to deliver in these times.
