MVGX Advances Maritime Green Transformation at the 2025 World Maritime Merchants Forum

SINGAPORE, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MVGX Tech, a Singapore-based leader in Sustainable AI and Green Finance Technology, took part in the 2025 World Maritime Merchants Forum in Hong Kong. Held under the theme “Steering Sustainability through Changes”, the forum brought together global maritime leaders to explore coordinated pathways for decarbonisation and digital transformation.

During the forum, two major industry group standards were officially released. Developed jointly by multiple authoritative organisations with strong involvement from MVGX, the standards are: Calculation Methods for Life Cycle GHG Intensity of Marine Fuels and Verification for Attained Annual Greenhouse Gas Fuel Intensity of Ships.

These two standards address critical gaps in the industry’s methodologies for low-carbon accounting and verification of marine fuels. Each standard introduces a systematic approach for calculating and verifying full life-cycle emissions, covering the entire process from raw material acquisition and production to transportation, storage, and onboard use. Together, the standards provide the sector with unified, scientific, and actionable technical frameworks. This alignment also brings domestic regulations closer to IMO rules, strengthening China’s technical influence in global green maritime governance.

The calculation standard offers structured support for fuel pathway assessment and emissions reduction strategy development, while the verification standard provides a complete framework for compliance assurance. The release of this standards series lays a quantitative foundation for the sector, while also builds momentum for the upcoming global launch of OptiFuel EU and AIPoS Platform.

Designed in line with tightening global environmental regulations and the maritime sector’s accelerating green transition, the OptiFuel EU fully complies with the FuelEU and the EU ETS. Its intelligent algorithms optimise fuel use and fuel mix, reducing both fuel-related expenses and regulatory compliance costs with precision.

Meanwhile, AIPoS Platform streamlines sustainability data management by automating the tracking, processing, and intelligent analysis of marine fuel data. This provides maritime enterprises with a strong data-driven foundation for strategic decarbonisation decisions.

By aligning closely with industry standards, these two products offer maritime enterprises worldwide a comprehensive solution that supports compliance, cost optimisation, and operational efficiency.

MVGX aims to help the sector move towards a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable future. More information on the global launch of both products will be shared soon.

Gorilla Technology Reports Record Revenue in Q3; Issues 2026 Guidance


– Q3 revenue up 32% year on year delivering the strongest quarter in its history –
– Bottom line at breakeven versus a $7.8 million loss in Q3 2024
– Total cash $121.4 million including $110.2 million unrestricted at end of Q3
– $1.4 billion AI data centre mandate secured and an advanced AI and GPU infrastructure pipeline now above $7 billion with build already under way for phased implementation from early 2026 –

London, United Kingdom–(Newsfile Corp. – November 17, 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 its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2025, reiterated the Company’s guidance for fiscal 2025 and provided guidance for full year 2026.

Key highlights include:

Record revenue growth: Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $26.5 million, compared with $20.1 million for the same period in 2024, an increase of approximately 32%. The increase was due primarily to the Company’s execution on AI infrastructure, public safety and enterprise projects across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas.

Strong project execution: The Company delivered an operating income of approximately $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to an operating loss of $6.0 million for the same period in 2024. This swing of more than $6.4 million was due primarily due to disciplined operating expenses across people, professional services, and overheads, and stronger contracting and vendor alignment that improved efficiency. This performance validates Gorilla’s focus on core operations and improved efficiency as it expands its presence in large-scale AI data centre and GPU infrastructure programmes.

Continued focus on profitability: EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $0.8 million, compared to an EBITDA loss of $5.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, while net loss was close to breakeven at $0.03 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $7.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, was $6.8 million, up 21% from $5.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. Adjusted Net Income increased 72% year on year to $6.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, from $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Maximizing working capital flexibility: As of September 30, 2025, total debt was $15.1 million, a decrease of 30% from $21.4 million at the end of 2024. As of the end of the third quarter of 2025, Gorilla’s unrestricted cash position increased to $110.2 million from $21.7 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of ~ 408%, and $10.1 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of ~ 990%. Gorilla continues to manage its working capital debt ensuring flexibility to fund existing contracts and convert its client pipeline without balance sheet strain.

Earnings per share inflection: Basic and diluted EPS were approximately breakeven for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, while adjusted basic EPS was $0.26 and adjusted diluted EPS was $0.24 for the same period.

Statement from Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO:

“The third quarter marks a turning point where Gorilla became a recognized leader in AI infrastructure. Our contracted projects, strong balance sheet and clear line of sight to scale differentiate us from peers that have yet to deliver beyond the promise of AI. We are optimistic about our revenue growth in the coming years, driven by secured mandates, including our recently announced $1.4 billion AI data centre contract in Southeast Asia, as well as ongoing deployments and a robust pipeline.”

“We have built a platform that designs, builds and operates sovereign-grade AI infrastructure alongside governments, telecommunications providers, and leading institutions. From here, our priorities are clear; convert our pipeline, grow high quality recurring revenue, maintain our cost discipline and deliver consistently strong quarters to drive a complete re-rating of Gorilla in the eyes of global investors.”

Update on Key Projects:

In Southeast Asia, Gorilla is now executing its 5G and AI infrastructure projects across the region, with deployment activity accelerating through the last quarter. In MENA, Gorilla’s projects are entering the final execution phase. With strong collections and solid delivery momentum across both regions, these programmes highlight Gorilla’s ability to execute large-scale national infrastructure with precision and reliability.

Financial Outlook:

2026 Guidance

For full year 2026, Gorilla currently expects revenue in the range of $137 million to $200 million. This estimate is underpinned by the expected completion initial phase of the $1.4 billion Southeast Asia AI data centre project in the first quarter of next year, which is expected to contribute $100 million of revenue per year from 2026 to 2028. This guidance is further supported by two major Asian law enforcement contracts that Gorilla announced in September 2025. The Company has already begun working on both and expects these projects to contribute meaningfully to full year 2026 financial results.

The Company is only able to provide guidance based on its contractual backlog, which is the revenue it expects to recognize from signed contracts, based on currently scheduled delivery timelines and specified contractual milestones. Where project mandates have been awarded but timelines and parameters are still in discussion with our customers, it is not currently possible to forecast the periods in which anticipated revenue would be recognized. Therefore, investors are advised that the current guidance does not include contracted but presently unfinalized projects (such as the remaining phases of the Southeast Asia AI data centre project) and also does not reflect any additional projects that the Company is seeking to secure.

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.

2025 Guidance

The Company’s full year 2025 guidance remains unchanged: revenue is expected to be in the range of $100 million to $110 million; Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $20 million to $25 million; Adjusted net profit, excluding extraordinary items, is expected in the range of $15 million to $20 million; and the Company expects positive operating cash flow.

Statement from Bruce Bower, CFO:

“With our capital structure now a strength, not a constraint, we are operating from a position of exceptional financial flexibility. Reducing debt to $15.1 million, lifting total cash to $121.4 million, and beginning to fund major AI data centre projects has transformed our balance sheet into a source of funding for growth. This financial capacity underpins our ability to execute existing mandates and accelerate our multi-billion-dollar pipeline with both discipline and agility.”

“We look forward to finishing 2025 by continuing to strengthen our financial position. Apart from executing on our key projects, certain stages of projects expected to be completed and invoiced in the fourth quarter are among the higher margin portions of these projects, which we expect to further enhance our cash position.”

Financial Statements:

In addition to the financial information presented below, investors are advised to review additional financial statements included on the Company’s Form 6-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shortly following this press release.

ROYAL MINT ROCKS THE NATION WITH FREDDIE MERCURY COLLECTIBLE COIN

LLANTRISANT, Wales, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rock and roll history is set to be immortalised as The Royal Mint unveils a UK coin to celebrate one of the greatest showmen of all time, Freddie Mercury – an extraordinary tribute to the rock icon whose voice and showmanship defined generations.

ROYAL MINT ROCKS THE NATION WITH FREDDIE MERCURY COLLECTIBLE COIN
ROYAL MINT ROCKS THE NATION WITH FREDDIE MERCURY COLLECTIBLE COIN

The collectible coin captures Mercury mid-performance at the height of his powers, showcasing the flamboyant frontman in full flow with his signature inscribed alongside his portrait. The design’s intricate details tell the story of Mercury’s extraordinary talent through carefully crafted design elements.

Freddie’s legendary four-octave vocal range is represented by a musical stave that runs around the edge of the coin, spanning from bass to treble notes. The studded armband edge design draws inspiration from his iconic Live Aid performance outfit, a fitting tribute to what many consider the greatest rock performance of all time. A selection of the coins will also feature colour, bringing Freddie’s iconic yellow jacket to life on the coin design and capturing the vibrant energy that made him such a magnetic stage presence.

This celebration comes at a particularly poignant time, commemorating the 40th anniversary of Queen’s show-stealing performance at Live Aid in July 1985 and also the 40th anniversary of Freddie’s first solo studio album, “Mr. Bad Guy”, released the same year, reminding fans of his versatility as both a Queen member and solo artist who pushed creative boundaries throughout his career.

In a special moment that brought the coin’s creation full circle, Freddie Mercury’s sister, Kashmira Bulsara, visited The Royal Mint to strike the very first coin herself, making her an integral part of this historic tribute to her brother’s legacy.

Rebecca Morgan, Director of Commemorative Coin at The Royal Mint, said: “Having Kashmira visit us to strike the first Freddie Mercury coin was incredibly moving and made this project even more special. Freddie Mercury wasn’t just a musician; he was a force of nature who transformed every stage he stepped onto. This coin captures that electric energy and celebrates a truly global icon whose influence continues to inspire generations. The level of detail in this design, from his signature to the musical stave representing his incredible vocal range, makes this one of our most special commemorative pieces.”

Kashmira Bulsara, Freddie Mercury’s sister, commented: “Striking the first coin at The Royal Mint was such an emotional and proud moment for me. Freddie would have been absolutely delighted to see himself honoured in this way and to know that his family was part of bringing this tribute to life.”

Kashmira added, “He always had such respect for British traditions and institutions, and to have The Royal Mint celebrate his legacy with such beautiful artistry would have meant the world to him. The coin perfectly captures his passion and the joy he brought to millions through his music.”

The Freddie Mercury collectible coin continues The Royal Mint’s tradition of celebrating British cultural icons who have left an indelible mark on the world stage. From his early days with Queen through to his final performances, Mercury’s legacy as one of Britain’s greatest entertainers is now preserved forever on an official UK coin.

In a fitting tribute to Mercury’s philanthropic legacy, The Royal Mint will also gift a special gold proof version of the coin to the Mercury Phoenix Trust, the AIDS charity founded in his memory. The charity will auction this unique piece in the coming months, continuing Mercury’s mission to support those affected by HIV and AIDS.

Freddie Mercury is the latest music artist to form part of The Royal Mint’s ongoing ‘Music Legends’ coin series, celebrating the greatest singer and songwriters in British history. Mercury follows the likes of David Bowie, George Michael, Shirley Bassey and Paul McCartney in being honoured on their very own UK coin. The Music Legends coin series has proved hugely popular with collectors and music fans, delivering nearly half a million coins to enthusiasts in 108 countries around the world.

The collection is available from 9am on 18 November with prices starting from £18.50. For more information and to purchase from The Royal Mint visit the following website. A selection of the coins will also be available to buy from the Freddie Mercury store via the following link.

European Union and Vietnam: A joint path to poultry farming based on immunity and prevention

HANOI, Vietnam, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — To mark the World Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness Week, which begins today (18–24 November), the EU co-financed the ‘European Poultry From Our Farms to Your Tables’ information and promotional campaign to highlight Vietnam’s progress in the rational use of antibiotics in poultry production and the compatibility of European standards with local market expectations.

Vietnam accelerates change
In 2018, the Vietnamese government prohibited the use of antibiotic growth promoters in livestock feed. It also adopted a roadmap to phase out the preventive use of antibiotics across livestock production, with a full ban entering into force on 1 January 2026; therapeutic use remains allowed under veterinary prescription. These steps reflect a shared commitment by Vietnam and the European Union to high standards of animal health and food safety.

European Union: the responsible use of antibiotics 
The European Union bans the routine and preventive group use of antibiotics in food-producing animals. Antibiotics may be administered only on veterinary prescription, when medically justified to treat or control disease in animals. Treatment is carried out under strict veterinary supervision, observing the withdrawal period required to ensure that residues remain within the legal limits (MRLs). Prevention and welfare are a priority. In line with the Farm to Fork strategy, the EU aims to further reduce antimicrobial use while maintaining high food safety standards and full traceability.

European poultry producers employ preventive measures such as strict on-farm biosecurity, vaccination programmes tailored to disease risk, daily flock-health monitoring, attention to water and feed quality, and comfortable housing conditions (ventilation, lighting, space). Medications remain a treatment tool — used as rarely as possible and only when medically justified – to protect animal health and welfare. This approach promotes flock health, reduces the risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and strengthens consumer trust.

Thanks to these strict procedures, EU poultry meat is safe for consumers and does not contain harmful residues. This is ensured by EU and national laws that strictly control the use of veterinary medicines and the sale of meat.

Why is this important to Vietnamese buyers?
European poultry batches are fully traceable and comply with Vietnam’s MRLs and are accompanied by full documentation of origin and testing. For importers, retail chains and the HORECA sector, this means a stable supply, consistent quality and compliance with local regulations – both now and in the future, as the rules become more stringent.

The project is implemented by an industry organisation from Poland: The National Poultry Council Chamber of Commerce acting on behalf of the European poultry sector.
