Pareteum Corporation (TEUM) Investigation:

The firm’s investigation concerns the accuracy of the Company’s reported financial results.

On June 7, 2019, Marcus Aurelius Value published a report questioning the propriety of Pareteum’s accounting and statements about its backlog, backlog conversion rates, and receivables.  The report concluded, “[w]e see massive downside potential and believe the stock is completely uninvestible.”   

Next, on June 25, 2019, Viceroy Research Group published a report identifying several sources of “uncollectable” revenue presented in Pareteum’s financial results, concluding that “total revenue is overstated by 42%.” 

Then, on August 26, 2019, cash-strapped Pareteum announced that as a condition of obtaining $2.5 million in financing, the Company was forced to issue 750,000 shares to its senior secured creditor, thereby diluting existing shareholders.

On October 15, 2019, the Company announced the termination of Pareteum’s Chief Operating Officer Denis McCarthy, who reportedly played a central role in disseminating the Company’s 36-Month-Contract-Backlog, the metric under intense scrutiny.

On October 21, 2019, the company announced that it will restate its issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the full year ended December 31, 2018, and interim periods ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019.

As a result of these disclosures, the value of Pareteum stock has consistently decreased, closing at $0.73 per share on October 21, 2019.

“We’re focused on investors’ losses and whether the company inflated its reported revenues,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.
