This Week


Q1 2025 revenue surged to $18.3 million, marking over 109% year-on-year growth.
Total cash reserves held firm at $33.8 million, while debt was strategically reduced to $18.4 million, reinforcing our financial agility. —

London, United Kingdom–(Newsfile Corp. – June 18, 2025) – Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) (“Gorilla” or the “Company”), a global solution provider in Security Intelligence, Network Intelligence, Business Intelligence and IoT technology, today reported financial results for Q1 2025 which ended 31 March, 2025.

Key highlights Include:

  • Exceptional Revenue Growth: Q1 2025 revenue rose to $18.3 million, driven by several mission-critical global agreements. This performance cements Gorilla’s operational strength, market credibility and leadership in AI-powered security and infrastructure.
  • Strong Balance Sheet: Gorilla ended Q1 with a healthy $33.8 million in cash, including $20.8 million in unrestricted cash. This solid liquidity base provides flexibility to execute on opportunities and power future expansion.
  • Disciplined Debt Reduction: Gorilla cut debt to $18.4 million, down from $21.4 million at year-end 2024, freeing up pledged deposits and sharpening capital efficiency. We will continue to deleverage aggressively wherever it strengthens value and remains cash-neutral, reinforcing a balance sheet built for scale and speed.
  • Adjusted EBITDA: Reached $5.16 million, up from $3.50 million in Q1 2024, a 47.5% year-on-year increase that underscores Gorilla’s expanding operating leverage, disciplined execution and profitable growth trajectory.
  • Adjusted net income: Rose 46.7%, to $4.47 million, compared to $3.05 million in the prior-year quarter, highlighting strong underlying earnings power and margin control despite global scale-up
  • Adjusted EPS: Climbed to $0.23, marking a sharp turnaround from a basic loss per share of $1.47 in Q1 2024.
  • Strategic Investment in Long-Term Value: Our SAFE investment in One Amazon strengthens a game-changing partnership at the heart of global sustainability. As the core technology partner, Gorilla is deploying large-scale IoT infrastructure across the Amazon rainforest, cementing our position as a front-runner in climate intelligence and next-generation environmental innovation.
  • Accelerating Global Momentum: Gorilla’s pipeline now exceeds $5 billion, consisting of qualified leads where we have determined that there is a will and a budget to move forward and that we can close a deal within the next 12 months. This has been fueled by rapid expansion across the United States, MENA, Southeast & East Asia, South America and the United Kingdom. Our growing contract base, execution track record and market demand position us not just as a growth story, but as a global force in AI-powered transformation.

Statement from Jay Chandan
“Gorilla has launched into 2025 with power, precision and clarity of purpose. This quarter is not just a performance milestone – it is proof of trajectory. Revenue is up, margins are firm and profitability is no longer aspirational, it is embedded. With momentum on our side, we are no longer just building our pipeline, we are converting at scale, compounding growth across borders and deepening trust with some of the world’s most ambitious partners.”

“From reshaping energy infrastructure in Thailand to enabling climate-tech at scale in the Amazon, Gorilla is fast becoming the default partner for governments and mid-sized enterprises looking to future-proof their nations. With a strong revenue pipeline and cash base, as well as our relentless operational focus, we are entering our next phase – one of acceleration, execution and measurable value creation.”
