Dear shareholders, investors,
partners and customers!

I am pleased to present the annual report of Transtelecom JSC.

2021 was the year of adaptation to new reality. We understood that COVID-19 had not gone anywhere. But we have been moving forward. The analysis revealed that the Company has successfully achieved its strategic goals, developed its services, and strengthened its position in the telecommunications market of the country. We have succeeded in fundamentally restructuring the basic principles of management, accepting the realities and conditions of the market, and responding quickly to changes.

It is no secret that organizations that embrace the concept of long-term value creation in business achieve better financial results, attract and retain highly skilled employees, and gain a long-term competitive advantage. Therefore, Transtelecom has integrated the principles of sustainable development into its strategy. For the company, environmental and social responsibility and open corporate governance are no longer just buzzwords; they are now essential elements of what we do.

Today, the Company complies with all legal regulations and fulfills its obligations, builds respectful and mutually beneficial relationships with customers, partners, suppliers, and employees, improves transparency, follows ethical business approaches, and implements best corporate governance practices. In addition, the Company takes care of the environment and promotes high environmental standards among customers and partners.

Another important part of our activities is upholding decent working conditions and offering opportunities for personnel development. It’s no secret that the right team is 90% of a company’s success. But IT trends and tendencies are changing very rapidly. In order to keep up with the times, our employees upgrade their skills to broaden their knowledge base and add value to the market.

I cannot stress enough the fact that in 2021, the Company has done a lot to create a favorable climate in the country. Despite all the difficulties, we have remained a stable and technically reliable company. I am sure that Transtelecom JSC will continue to maintain the dynamics of its development. I would like to point out that all the indicators achieved in the reporting year allow the Board of Directors to praise the performance of the Management Board, top management, and employees. At the conclusion of my remarks, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to everyone, including our shareholders, partners, and management, for diligent performance of their duties, as well as our personnel for dedication and creative thinking in their work. I also thank our customers for contributing to our development and helping us improve.

Board of the
Company

Dear shareholders, partners
and colleagues!

2021 was a year of qualitative transformation for many sectors of the economy. Telecom industry is not an exclusion. The country is no longer shocked by the pandemic, and tensions have decreased. Our company has continued to adapt to the demands of time, society, and the economy. We’ve demonstrated to everyone our ability to respond quickly to events.

In 2021, the number of Internet users continued to grow steadily. The majority of the workers continued to work from home, and the students continued their distance learning. As part of the project to provide broadband access to rural areas of the Republic of Kazakhstan using FOCL technology, the construction of the fiber-optic communication line from the Transtelecom node in 2021 gave about 19,000 residents of remote settlements in the country access to high-speed Internet. Most of the subscribers were in Zhambyl, Turkestan, Akmola, Kostanay, and East Kazakhstan regions.

The coronavirus pandemic has, incidentally, accelerated business digital transformation and compelled organizations to adopt cutting-edge solutions in order to remain competitive. Cloud technologies have become mainstream for the business community. As we all know, providing customers with the products and services they require is the primary rule of successful business processes. We continued to construct data centers, and in July we opened the public to the Aktau data center, which has more than 1,600 square meters of floor space. It should be noted that the company currently has 9 data centers geographically distributed throughout the country, which is a clear competitive advantage over other players. Customers have access to services like server colocation, cloud infrastructure (IaaS), backup, administration, etc.

2021 also became the year of integration processes for our business. Several memoranda were signed with large foreign companies at once. In particular, with Plug and Play, the world leader from Silicon Valley, which unites more than 40 thousand startups on its platform. In the future, our company intends to develop IT and TELCO services through corporate innovation. I think it will help solve current business problems and create new value for customers and partners.

As I reflect on the past year, I am able to see how the Company is actively changing to meet goals, increase reliability, and create new opportunities. To date, Transtelecom has made a significant contribution to the development of the regions where it operates, participating in the modernization of infrastructure and contributing to solving important issues. For example, as part of the development of the Smart City Program in Almaty, the company has for the first time launched a Smart Pedestrian Crossing system. The aim of the project is to improve road safety. In addition, the Company implemented a project to install a video surveillance system in the village of Kosshy. As a result, 62 cameras with number plate recognition function were installed there.

As you can see, we continued to develop the company’s promising areas in 2021 while strengthening position of Transtelecom JSC in the traditional and digital segments. But if not for the professionalism and superior credentials of our personnel, none of this might have occurred. Our entire large and collegiate team continues to confidently pursue our mission of leading Kazakhstan’s people towards digital prosperity. I want to express my gratitude to all of the Company’s employees for their diligent work, skill, and innovative ideas. However, there is still much work to be done. I have no doubt that we are eagerly anticipating new, serious tasks, ambitious plans, and accomplishments!
