London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - March 2, 2026) - Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ:GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence, IoT technology and data centres, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025, delivering record full-year revenue and a substantial year-on-year improvement in profitability as the business continued to scale globally with disciplined execution.

Key highlights include:

Record revenue growth: Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $101.4 million, compared with $74.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 35.7%. This marks the first time in Gorilla's history that annual revenue has exceeded $100 million. The increase was driven by the Company's continued execution across AI infrastructure, public safety and enterprise programmes in key international markets.

Major profitability turnaround: The Company delivered a transformational improvement in reported results for the year ended December 31, 2025, with IFRS operating loss narrowing to $(13.7) million from $(66.9) million for the year ended December 31, 2024. This represents a $53.2 million improvement, or a 79.6% year-on-year reduction in IFRS operating loss, underscoring a genuine operating turnaround.

Continued focus on cost discipline and earnings quality: Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025, were $47.5 million, compared to $104.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a reduction of 54.4%. IFRS net loss narrowed to $(11.3) million from $(64.8) million in the prior year, representing an improvement of $53.5 million, or 82.6% year-on-year, reflecting a clear improvement in the Company's operating structure and financial discipline, while still making the necessary investments for continued growth.

Adjusted profitability remains strong while investing for growth: Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $19.1 million and non-IFRS net income was $19.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Gorilla maintained strong adjusted profitability while investing in growth capacity, including the expansion of offices, a significant increase in research and development capabilities and accelerated product development. The company saved substantially on finance-related costs due to its lower debt load.

Earnings per share inflection: IFRS basic EPS improved significantly to $(0.51) for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared with $(6.13) for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing an improvement of 91.7% year-on-year. Adjusted basic EPS was $0.89 for the year ended December 31, 2025. This reflects a sharp improvement in reported per share performance while preserving positive adjusted earnings.

Net cash: Finished the year with total cash of $104.8 million, including restricted deposits of $5.3 million. The total debt load was $13.8 million, down 35.6% from $21.4 million in the prior year. Through the refinancing of certain lending agreements and the repayment of others, the Company materially reduced its deposits previously held as collateral against loan obligations in an amount of $5.3 million.

Share Repurchase Programme: In 2025, Gorilla also continued to execute its capital allocation strategy through share repurchases and spent $3.5 million on buybacks, reflecting its conviction in the intrinsic value of the business while continuing to fund growth, research and development and strategic execution.

Further Updates: In the first two months of 2026, the Company collected more than $22 million from its largest customers, representing payment for solutions delivered and invoiced in 2025. The Company remains focused on disciplined cash collection and working capital management. As of February 26, 2026, the Company had $108.4 million of unrestricted cash and $116.6 million of total cash. It has spent an additional $3.0 million on share buybacks in the calendar year 2026.

Statement from Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO:

"2025 was a defining year for Gorilla. We delivered what we promised to the market, and we did it with discipline. Crossing $101 million in revenue for the first time in our history is a meaningful milestone for our team and investors. What's even more important, though, is how we got here: we grew revenue by 35.7% while materially reducing operating expenses leading to significant narrowing of our reported losses.

"Our 2025 results are built on delivered work, disciplined cost control, and improved quality of earnings. We are not managing for optics, instead, we are managing for execution.

"We are watching the market conversation shift from 'Did you beat the quarter?' to 'Will AI spending hold up?' That's a fair debate, but it misses the fulcrum. AI is no longer a discretionary software trend, rather, it is becoming a national capability and a core operating layer for enterprises.

"The next phase of AI demand cannot be defined by one buyer or one deal. It will be defined by many buyers across various sectors that are building permanent capacity. These will include governments, regulated enterprises, telecom operators, logistics networks, financial services platforms and more.

"AI compute is shifting from a training led cycle to an inference led cycle. That does not reduce demand, it broadens it. Inference pushes AI into everyday workflows and mission critical operations, which increases the need for distributed compute across regional data centres and edge environments where latency, data residency and resiliency requirements matter.

"Data sovereignty is not a buzzword but becoming policy and procurement reality. Governments and critical industries are increasing local capacity because they do not want their national data, law enforcement workloads, border security workloads, citizen services and strategic economic models sitting in foreign jurisdictions.

"Enterprises are no longer asking 'Can we experiment with AI?' but 'How do we deploy a secure and regulatory compliant AI at predictable unit economics?' That shifts decision making away from hype and towards infrastructure, governance, security and cost per inference.

"Telecom operators are not just selling bandwidth anymore. They are becoming infrastructure orchestrators. They have the fibre, the last mile, the enterprise relationships and the regulatory posture to build compliant regional AI platforms. That is a structural tailwind for regional data centres and sovereign AI infrastructure.

"This is exactly the evolution we are positioning for. AI infrastructure is moving from a small number of centralised mega builds to a network of sovereign and regional platforms built around data locality, latency and compliance. Our internal market work, informed by multiple datasets, partner inputs and active customer conversations, shows the scale of this build cycle.

"That is why we are advancing data centre and AI infrastructure activity across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India and Indonesia. We are expanding our evaluation work in India and progressing our strategy in the Middle East, which includes Saudi Arabia where an MoU has been signed and we are actively exploring data centre development opportunities. We are also exploring opportunities to buy and / or build our own data centre assets. Ownership changes the model: more control over delivery, stronger long-term positioning and the potential to build recurring infrastructure-led revenue streams rather than relying only on project cycles.

"In parallel, we are strengthening our product edge for this next phase of adoption. Our post quantum cryptography SD WAN solution is on track to be ready in April 2026, and our lawful interception product suite remains in continued research and development as we expand sovereign grade capability across security, intelligence and compliance led deployments.

"We are positioned for this evolution. We design, build and deploy sovereign-grade platforms, and we operate in the real world of procurement cycles, national requirements, compliance and service levels.

"I encourage the market to look at the signals that matter in infrastructure businesses: mobilisation activity, delivery cadence, collections and cash conversion. Our top customer projects are progressing strongly and customer satisfaction is reflected in payment behaviour. We aim to be cash flow positive this year with sustained discipline in delivery, overhead control and cash collections.

"Finally, Gorilla Technology Capital is a game changing catalyst for our next phase. It is designed to expand our ability to execute larger infrastructure programmes by structuring capital efficiently, aligning long-duration funding with long-duration assets, and enabling customers to move faster with clearer financing pathways. It strengthens our ability to scale data centre builds, accelerate GPU infrastructure deployment and participate in materially larger mandates with institutional grade structures and governance."

"We are excited to continue to deliver in the year ahead."

Outlook for 2026:

Gorilla entered 2026 with strong operating momentum and a clear focus on execution in one of the fastest growing infrastructure sectors, globally. We are actively advancing our AI infrastructure and data centre build strategy across India, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia and we continue to evaluate opportunities in India and the Middle East as part of our broader regional expansion.

Independent industry estimates indicate the Asia Pacific data centre market is expected to reach approximately $35.8 billion in 2026 and grow to approximately $94.1 billion by 2031, with installed capacity rising from approximately 29,300 Megawatts ("MW") in 2025 to approximately 63,100 MW by 2030. India is also scaling rapidly, with JLL reporting total inventory of 1,123 MW of IT load capacity as of H1 2025 and strong AI driven demand growth. Middle East market estimates point to continued expansion from approximately $3.5 billion in 2026 toward approximately $7.2 billion by 2031.

Against this backdrop, the Company's pipeline currently stands in excess of $7 billion, which has increased largely due to advanced stage AI and GPU infrastructure opportunities in key markets including Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Indonesia, India and Malaysia. Recent project updates include:

• Delivered the first phase of the deployment of a lawful interception project with a major investigation bureau in APAC.
• Won a project with the special Police Unit in Taiwan focused on forest preservation.
• Signed a MoU with a large real estate operator in Saudi Arabia to partner on local data centre opportunities.

Gorilla's customer projects continue to perform, with execution progressing well and customer relationships remaining robust. Thus far in 2026, Gorilla collected more than $22 million for solutions delivered and invoiced in 2025. Additional meaningful collections in the coming weeks are expected to further support liquidity, working capital discipline and execution across active programmes.

In parallel, Gorilla continues to invest in product and innovation capability to support long -term growth and margin quality. Its post quantum cryptography solution for SD-WAN is targeted to be ready in April 2026, and the Company is continuing research and product development across the lawful interception product suite and related intelligence capabilities.

Statement from Bruce Bower, CFO:

"With our capital structure now a strength rather than a constraint, Gorilla enters 2026 with real financial firepower. In 2025, we materially reduced operating expenses, sharply improved reported losses and maintained strong adjusted profitability while continuing to invest in growth. That combination reflects a more disciplined operating model and a stronger quality of earnings.

"We exited the year with substantial liquidity, including total cash of $104.8 million as of the end of 2025. We also reduced debt to $13.8 million, leaving the Company with a very strong net cash position. This balance sheet strength gives us the flexibility to execute existing mandates, support working capital through delivery cycles and fund expansion with discipline. Our priorities for 2026 are to maintain tight financial controls, improve cash conversion and support the business as we aim to become cash flow positive. We will continue to consider additional buybacks as we believe the price of our stock continues to substantially undervalue Gorilla, both in terms of our historical fiscal performance and our strategic plans going forward."
