YTD Highlights

 

Surging Revenue: Nine-month revenue of $37.9 million surged by over 2x versus the same period, last year.

 

High and Expanding Margin Reflects Value of Business Model: The robust 76.5% gross margin underscores Gorilla’s dynamic product-driven and services-oriented business model, a significant leap from the approximately 33% gross margin recorded in the previous year.

 

Bottom Line Focus: Achieved an impressive turnaround, with total comprehensive income soaring to $7.2 million, a remarkable improvement from last year’s comprehensive loss of ($86 million). This result underscores Gorilla’s unwavering commitment to boosting profitability at the bottom line. The adjusted EBITDA experienced an extraordinary surge, reaching $13.4 million, marking an outstanding 431% YoY increase compared to an EBITDA loss of ($4 million) for the same period last year.

 

Exceptional Visibility: With discounted run rate revenue over $88 million today, Gorilla affirms its target to achieve at least $90 million of revenue in 2024 and is on course to becoming cash flow positive.

 

Gorilla Chief Executive Officer Jay Chandan commented, “I am absolutely thrilled to announce stellar earnings for the first nine months of 2023! We’ve not just met our numbers for Q3, but exceeded expectations, showcasing the incredible dedication and hard work of every member of our team. It’s not just about the numbers; it’s a testament to our shared commitment to excellence.

 

“Our revenue soared to new heights, and in fact our revenue this quarter far exceeded analyst expectations of $21.8 million. This is due to the success of our innovative strategies and unwavering customer focus. We’re not just navigating the market, we’re shaping it. Gross margin more than doubled versus last year due to our relentless pursuit of quality, creativity, and customer satisfaction. Furthermore, comprehensive net income and adjusted EBITDA soared, showcasing our commitment to benefiting shareholders by driving profitability to the bottom line.”

 

Chandan continued, “We’re not just achieving financial milestones—we’re forging a path of sustained growth and industry leadership. A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team, loyal customers, and supportive stakeholders. With our momentum building, we are confident that the full year 2023 results is expected to meet prior guidance and that we are primed to achieve our target 2024 revenue of $90 million. We entered 2024 with a $1 billion sales pipeline. This sales pipeline is not just a numerical milestone, it is a testament to our dedication to pushing boundaries, exploring new opportunities, and providing unparalleled value to our clients. There is still plenty of work to be done to convert those leads into contracts and revenue, but my confidence in our team has never been greater.”

 

 

 

 

Chandan concluded, “Our dedication to judicious cost management has produced remarkable outcomes. We have streamlined our expenses without compromising the quality and efficiency of our operations, making a substantial contribution to our positive financial results. Our cash flow continues to be resilient, affording us the financial flexibility to explore additional project opportunities, invest in innovation, and navigate potential economic uncertainties. Looking forward, we hold an optimistic view of the future and persist in upholding the highest standards of financial stewardship. Our unwavering focus on innovation, operational excellence and customer satisfaction will remain the driving forces behind our ongoing success.”

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Gorilla’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “might” and “continues,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our beliefs about future revenues, our ability to attract the attention of customers and investors alike, our ability to fund operations as we execute a strategic shift to pursue the larger and higher margin opportunities in Security Convergence, our expectations to swing to profit in the quarters ahead, our immediate priorities, Gorilla’s strategic shift to enable it to pursue larger projects with better revenue visibility, Gorilla’s contract with the Government of Egypt, Gorilla’s ability to win additional projects and execute definitive contracts related thereto, along with those other risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Form 20-F Gorilla filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 28, 2023, those described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Exhibit 99.5 to the Form 6-K Gorilla filed with the SEC on August 17, 2023 and those that are included in any of Gorilla’s future filings with the SEC.

Non-IFRS Measures

 

Certain of the measures included in this press release are non-IFRS financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA. Non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with IFRS, and non-IFRS financial measures as used by Gorilla are not reported by all their competitors and may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies.

 

We believe that the non-IFRS measures such as adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. We present adjusted EBITDA to provide more information and greater transparency to investors about our operating results.

 

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding transaction costs and share listing expenses which are one-off expenses for professional services related to our Business Combination, asset acquisition and SOX 404 implementation project, which are considered as non-recurring corporate development events and added back for calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

 

The final table which shows our EBIT, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, together reconciled to the net profit (loss) for the periods ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 in this results announcement has more details on the non-IFRS financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

We believe that the non-IFRS measures such as adjusted EBITDA provide useful information about our core operating results, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making. We present adjusted EBITDA to provide more information and greater transparency to investors about our operating results.

 

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding transaction costs and share listing expenses which are one-off expenses for professional services related to our Business Combination, asset acquisition and SOX 404 implementation project, which are considered as non-recurring corporate development events and added back for calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

 

The final table which shows our EBIT, EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, together reconciled to the net profit (loss) for the periods ended September 30, 2023, and 2022 in this results announcement has more details on the non-IFRS financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.
