London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - August 24, 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 its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Gorilla delivered a significant acceleration in revenue and a marked sequential improvement in reported operating performance during the second quarter. The outperformance was principally driven by earlier-than-anticipated delivery across multiple contracted customer programmes, enabling the Company to recognize the associated revenue ahead of its original expectations. This was complemented by continued execution across Gorilla's broader portfolio.
Financial highlights
H1 revenue nearly doubled: Revenue increased
99.3% to approximately US$78.4 million , compared with US$39.3 million in H1 2025. Growth was driven by the scaling of Gorilla's AI infrastructure and data-centre programmes, alongside continued delivery across its security intelligence, network intelligence and smart-city operations, including Egypt, Taiwan and Thailand.Reported and adjusted operating performance: Gorilla reported an IFRS operating loss of approximately US
$47.2 million for H1 2026, compared with US$9.1 million in H1 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of approximately US$14.6 million , compared with adjusted EBITDA of approximately US$6.2 million in H1 2025.Reported and adjusted net result: Gorilla reported an IFRS net loss of approximately US
$46.9 million for H1 2026, compared with US$8.5 million in H1 2025. Adjusted net loss was approximately US$15.6 million , or US$0.58 per share, compared with adjusted net income of approximately US$6.3 million , or US$0.32 per share, in H1 2025.Operating cash efficiency improved year on year: Net cash used in operating activities declined by approximately US
$8.2 million , or65.3% , from US$12.5 million in H1 2025 to US$4.3 million in H1 2026.Cash position strengthened: Cash increased by approximately US
$79.8 million during H1, driven principally by financing inflows and supported by customer collections. Gorilla closed the period with approximately US$179.4 million in cash.Infrastructure investment accelerated: Gorilla deployed approximately US
$14.1 million during H1 for the acquisition of property and equipment, including capital advances and project work-in-progress. Property and equipment, including capital work-in-progress, reached approximately US$29.4 million at June 30, 2026.

Statement from Jay Chandan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
"This is the clearest evidence yet that Gorilla has entered a different phase of scale," said Jay Chandan, Chairman & CEO.
"In one year we managed to nearly double our first half revenue to US
The progression matters. In the first half, we absorbed a significant share-based compensation charge largely tied to services rendered prior to 2025 and other significant accounting effects. With their removal during the first half of 2026, we are poised for an improvement in operating results.
We are now converting years of preparation into delivery at scale. We are investing in hardware, infrastructure, people and execution capacity because we see a substantial opportunity ahead of us. Infrastructure cannot be switched on like a tap. Equipment must be procured, installed, commissioned and integrated. Customers must migrate workloads and utilisation must then progress toward steady-state levels.
That investment is happening now. During H1, Gorilla deployed approximately US
Statement from Bruce Bower, Chief Financial Officer
"The first-half results demonstrate both the scale of Gorilla's investment and the improvement in cash efficiency," said Bruce Bower, Chief Financial Officer.
"On an IFRS basis, Gorilla reported an operating loss of approximately US
"H1 revenue increased
"This improvement was achieved while Gorilla deployed approximately US
"The Company recorded an overall increase in cash of approximately US
"We are investing ahead of the revenue and utilisation curve, but we are doing so from a position of substantial liquidity. Our priorities remain disciplined capital allocation, project execution, improved utilisation and the conversion of infrastructure investment into sustainable revenue and cash flow."
Infrastructure investment and the path to steady state
Gorilla's current financial profile reflects the deliberate acceleration of its AI infrastructure strategy.
Infrastructure projects require capital to be deployed before their full revenue and margin potential can be realized. Hardware procurement is followed by installation, commissioning, integration, customer onboarding, workload migration and utilisation growth. Consequently, expenditure and accounting recognition may precede steady-state revenue generation.
The Company's priorities for the second half of 2026 are to:
- Bring additional infrastructure capacity into service.
- Increase utilisation across existing deployments.
- Expand the range of workloads delivered for existing customers.
- Onboard new customers and convert additional demand.
- Develop a broader revenue mix across infrastructure, compute and associated services.
- Maintain disciplined capital allocation and liquidity management while investing for growth.
Financial Outlook
Gorilla is increasing its Q3 2026 revenue planning range to approximately US
2027 guidance
Gorilla is targeting a revenue range of US
This objective is supported by the infrastructure being installed in connection with previously disclosed projects, the opportunity to increase utilisation, the potential to expand existing customer relationships and Gorilla's pipeline of additional demand. The objective remains subject to execution, customer demand, deployment schedules and prevailing market conditions.
