About GTT

MCLEAN, VA., May 14, 2009 - Global Telecom & Technology, Inc. (“GTT”), (OTCBB: GTLT), a leading global network integrator that provides its clients with a broad portfolio of wide-area network and mobility services, announced today results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Revenue totaled $15.7 million, compared to $16.3 million in the first quarter of 2008. Revenue was negatively impacted by the substantial weakening of the Euro and British Pound Sterling to the U.S. Dollar since last year.

Gross margin of 27.0 percent declined slightly compared to 29.0 percent in 2008.

As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, excluding non-cash compensation, decreased significantly to 22.4 percent in 2009, compared to 28.1 percent in 2008.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”)* increased 380 percent to $0.7 million in 2009 compared to $0.2 million in 2008.

“We had a great start to the year,” said Richard D. Calder, Jr., president and chief executive officer, GTT.  “At a normalized foreign currency exchange rate, revenue continued to show solid growth. Our Washington, London and Dusseldorf offices all produced positive revenue growth in their local currencies.”

“With a continued focus on costs, we reduced our SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue, and drove the strong year-over-year growth in Adjusted EBITDA,”said Eric A. Swank, chief financial officer. “GTT generated $720,000 in Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter, and with $2.6 million in Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months, and strong cash balances, GTT continues to strengthen its financial position.”
