Gorilla Announces Strong Outlook for 2024 and Sets Breakthrough Growth for 2025

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - Newsfile Corp. - 29 October 2024 - Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), today announced its guidance for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, highlighting strong revenue growth, major new contract wins and continued global expansion across key regions.

Following the company's recent webinar (GRRR WEBINAR OCT 24), Gorilla has reaffirmed its robust outlook for 2024, while projecting even stronger growth in 2025, driven by new contracts and significant strategic partnerships in Asia, MENA and Latin America.

2024 Projections and Strong Financial Position
Gorilla projects 2024 revenues to reach $72 million, with an EBITDA margin of over 20%, and net income of over $10 million. This builds on the momentum of 2023 and H1 2024, where Gorilla achieved a 222% increase in revenue and 456% growth in gross profit. Gorilla's backlog (i.e. signed contracts) going into 2025 now stands at $93 million, providing a solid foundation for sustained growth.

Looking ahead to 2025, Gorilla projects revenues to surpass $90 million, with net income exceeding $15 million. The company is targeting EBITDA margins of 20-25%, further solidifying its financial stability and long-term profitability.

Our projections do not account for any impact from additional large-scale contracts. Following the Company's transformative MENA project win in 2023, we are pursuing additional projects in the AI-powered analytics, cybersecurity and smart city sectors. Some of these contracts are in advanced stages of discussions and valued in the hundreds of millions. While not all of our contract wins will receive separate announcements, we will of course keep our investors apprised of new projects, that will continue to propel Gorilla's leadership in these sectors and continue our financial performance.

Innovation and Product Development
The Gorilla Intelligent Network Director, launched in October 2024, is already seeing strong market demand and is poised to make a significant impact, with its full release set for mid-2025. This platform leverages our partnerships with industry leaders, including Intel and Red Hat, to integrate advanced security features and real-time intelligence into SD-WAN solutions tailored for enterprises of all sizes. Developed to meet the needs of businesses facing rapidly evolving security and connectivity challenges, the Intelligent Network Director allows for seamless scalability across diverse environments, from on-premise to cloud-based networks.

This innovative platform positions Gorilla to capture a substantial share of the growing $40 billion SD-WAN market. Furthermore, revenue from early-stage sales and market adoption of the Intelligent Network Director are not yet reflected in our 2025 projections, meaning these earnings represent significant upside potential.

Share Repurchase and Stock Price Valuation
Gorilla remains actively engaged in its share repurchase programme, having acquired 1.1 million shares in September 2024. With $3.8 million of the $6 million authorised already utilised, the company is committed to continuing the buyback, confident that the current stock price does not reflect its true value, especially given its strong cash reserves exceeding $40 million and solid growth outlook.

"We are on a relentless growth path," said Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO of Gorilla. "The momentum we have built in 2023 and 2024 is only the beginning. With massive contracts on the horizon and a global footprint that continues to expand, Gorilla is poised to become a global leader in AI-powered solutions by 2027."
