Second Quarter 2025 Financial Summary

• Revenue of $65.8 million, down 18.7% year-over-year and down 22.5% on a constant currency basis.
• Battery swapping service revenue of $37.6 million, up 8.5% year-over-year and up 3.2% on a constant currency basis.
• Sales of hardware and others revenue of $28.2 million, down 39.1% year-over-year and down 41.8% on a constant currency basis.
• Gross margin of 0.3%, down from 5.2% in the same quarter last year primarily due to our ongoing battery pack upgrades.听Non-IFRS gross margin of 17.0%, up 3.5% year-over-year.
• Net loss of $26.5 million as compared to a net loss of $20.1 million in the same quarter last year.
• Adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million, up from $12.0 million in the same quarter last year.

"We saw an uptick in both non-IFRS gross margin and operating cash flow for the first half of 2025, so we are starting to see the positive impact of our strategic efforts. We have right-sized the organization, stayed agile, while continuing our investments in innovation, all of which give us confidence in our ability to achieve our operational goals," said Henry Chiang, interim CEO of Gogoro. "We successfully introduced our newest product, EZZY, and also introduced a new Gogoro Network Energy rate plan this quarter, all of which give us an improved outlook for the second half of 2025. We remain focused on execution and cost discipline, while continuing to invest in innovation and new product development."听

"Second quarter revenue was impacted by the later-than-expected launch of EZZY, but we are still tracking to achieve full-year revenue at the low-end of our guided range. We are seeing the bottom-line impact of the structural changes and cost-savings initiatives we have implemented over the last three quarters," said Bruce Aitken, CFO of Gogoro. "Non-IFRS gross margin and operating cash flow both showed improvements in the first half of 2025 and our second half sales and revenue are expected to be higher than the first half based on historical experience. We remain focused and reaffirm our longer-term financial forecasts for 2026-2028."听听

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Overview

Operating Revenues听

For the second quarter, the total revenue was $65.8 million, down 18.7% year-over-year and down 22.5% year-over-year on a constant currency basis¹. Had foreign exchange rates remained constant with the average rate of the same quarter last year, revenue would have been down by an additional $3.1 million.

• Battery swapping service revenue for the second quarter was $37.6 million, up 8.5% year-over-year, and up 3.2% year-over-year on a constant currency basis¹. Total subscribers at the end of the second quarter was 648,000, up 7% from 608,000 subscribers at the end of the same quarter last year. The year-over-year increase in battery swapping service revenue was primarily due to our larger subscriber base compared to the same quarter last year and the high retention rate of our subscribers. We continue to see the strength of our subscription-based business model which enables us to accumulate more customers to maximize our battery swapping network efficiency.
• Sales of hardware and other revenue for the second quarter was $28.2 million, down 39.1% year-over-year, and down 41.8% year-over-year on a constant currency basis¹. The year-over-year decrease in sales of hardware and other revenues was driven by a 54.3% decrease in vehicle sales volume on a year-over-year basis primarily due to the delayed launch of the new vehicle, EZZY. In addition, demand was impacted by broader macroeconomic headwinds in Taiwan, including a slowdown in consumer spending, an 11% drop in motorcycle retail sales, and a decline in consumer confidence to its lowest level since April 2024. We believe a portion of these delayed sales will shift into subsequent quarters as market conditions stabilize and our new product gains traction.

Gross Margin听

For the second quarter, gross margin was 0.3%, down from 5.2% in the same quarter last year while non-IFRS gross margin¹ was 17.0%, up from 13.5% in the same quarter last year. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by a combination of factors: (i) a $4.4 million increase in costs associated with our battery upgrade initiatives, including derecognition expenses on components removed from battery packs and other directly attributable costs, (ii) higher excess capacity costs due to reduced sales volume, and (iii) a partial offset from lower depreciation expenses resulting from the impairment recognized in the last quarter of 2024. The increase in non-IFRS gross margin was primarily driven by lower depreciation across our entire install base of battery packs from increased network efficiency as well as the extended lifespan of upgraded batteries and improvements in other operational efficiencies.

Gogoro was founded as an innovative energy business and we continue to invest heavily in growing and updating our Gogoro Network by deploying new GoStations, battery packs, and software updates. Over the last three years, we have invested approximately $100 million in capital expenditure annually.听 听

Additionally, in the past few quarters, we have been undertaking a program to carry out one-time, voluntary upgrades on certain battery packs which are expected to continue through 2025. These upgrades provide multiple benefits 鈥� more efficient deployment of our resources than replacing battery packs, increasing lifetime capacity of each battery pack (including extending its second mobility use-case useful life) and solidifying the extra lifetime capacity of each battery pack to validate our second-life thesis. These upgrades are expected to create economic benefits in the long run but will lead to a short-term reduction in our gross margin as we continue carrying out these upgrades. We expect our cash position, gross profit and gross margin will continue to be impacted by the costs of these upgrades during 2025. In order to improve our overall customer experience and to extend battery life, we plan to continue upgrading a substantial quantity of our battery packs which are already in circulation and we will improve designs of our battery packs to make them even more rugged, safer and long-lasting.

Net Loss听

For the second quarter, net loss was $26.5 million, representing an increase of $6.4 million from a net loss of $20.1 million in the same quarter last year. The increase in net loss was primarily due to an unfavorable change of $6.3 million in the fair value of financial liabilities associated with outstanding earnout shares, earn-in shares and warrants, which is mainly due to the Gogoro stock price declining to a lesser extent when compared to the same quarter last year, the decrease of $4.0 million in gross profit, and a $1.5 million increase in foreign exchange loss. These were partially offset by the decrease of $5.1 million in operating expenses. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly due to (i) lower variable marketing and promotional expenses resulting from reduced sales volume, (ii) savings in research and development expenses by focusing the vehicle business on a streamlined product portfolio, which allowed for the reduction of certain development programs, (iii) lower payroll driven by organizational efficiency, and (iv) a $3.1 million reduction in share-based compensation.

Adjusted EBITDA

For the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA¹ was $12.5 million, representing an increase of $0.5 million from $12.0 million in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to a $3.3 million reduction in operating expenses (excluding share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges) resulting from various cost-saving initiatives, a $0.5 million increase in non-operating income, and $0.3 million decrease in share of loss of investments accounted for using equity method. The increase was partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in foreign exchange loss and a $2.1 million decrease in non-IFRS gross profit (excluding share-based compensation, and depreciation and amortization) compared to the same quarter last year.

Liquidity

In the first half of 2025, we incurred an operating cash inflow of $15.2 million, compared to an operating cash inflow of $4.8 million in the same period of 2024, primarily due to cost reductions from organizational restructuring, improved expense efficiency, and favorable changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, we drew down NT$2.0 billion (approximately $68.3 million) in new long-term borrowings to enhance liquidity and strengthen our financial structure in preparation for potential market uncertainties. With a cash balance of $92.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2025, and the additional credit facilities that are available to us, we believe we have sufficient sources of funding to meet our near-term business growth objectives.听

2025 Guidance

We anticipate the Taiwan two-wheeler market in 2025 to be more subdued than in 2024. Due to the later-than-expected launch of EZZY, our revenues are likely to come in at the low-end of the previously provided range of $295 million to $315 million. We estimate that approximately 95% of such full-year revenue will be generated from the Taiwan market. Our gross margin may be continuously negatively impacted in the short term because of our ongoing and accelerated battery upgrade initiatives which are expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This press release and accompanying tables contain certain non-IFRS financial measures including foreign exchange effect on operating revenues, non-IFRS gross profit, non-IFRS gross margin, non-IFRS net loss, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA.

Foreign exchange ("FX") effect on operating revenues. We compare the dollar amount and the percent change in the operating revenues from the current period to the same period last year using constant currency disclosure. We present constant currency information to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying revenues performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. To present this information, current period operating revenues for entities reporting in currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the average exchange rates from the equivalent periods last year.

Non-IFRS听Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gogoro defines non-IFRS gross profit and gross margin as gross profit and gross margin excluding share-based compensation, battery upgrade initiatives and battery swapping service rebate.

Share-based Compensation.听Share-based compensation consists of听non-cash听charges related to the fair value of restricted stock units awarded to employees and stock options granted to certain directors, executives, employees and others providing similar services. We believe that the exclusion of these听non-cash听charges provides for more accurate comparisons of our operating results to our peer companies due to the varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types. In addition, we believe it is useful to investors to understand the specific impact of share-based compensation on our operating results.

Non-IFRS Net Loss.听Gogoro defines non-IFRS net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation, the change in fair value of financial liabilities including revaluation of change in fair value of earnout, earn-in and warrants associated with the merger of Poema, battery upgrade initiatives, and battery swapping service rebate. These amounts do not reflect the impact of any related tax effects.

EBITDA. Gogoro defines EBITDA as net loss excluding interest expense, net, provision for income tax, depreciation, and amortization. These amounts do not reflect the impact of any related tax effects.

Adjusted EBITDA.听Gogoro defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding share-based compensation, the change in fair value of financial liabilities including revaluation of change in fair value of earnout, earn-in and warrants associated with the merger of Poema, battery upgrade initiatives, battery swapping service rebate, and impairment charges. These amounts do not reflect the impact of any related tax effects.

Battery Upgrade Initiatives. As we perform certain voluntary upgrades to our battery packs, this charge represents the (i) derecognition expense on components removed from the battery pack, which we do not expect to generate any future benefits from its disposal and (ii) battery pack retrieval and other directly attributable costs incurred during the battery upgrades. We will only upgrade battery packs in instances where the value created exceeds the cost of the upgrade. The program will improve batteries' capacity and extend the remaining useful life of certain battery packs. The derecognition expense and the retrieval and other costs are recorded under Cost of Revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. We exclude such expenditures for purposes of calculating certain non-IFRS measures because these charges do not reflect how management evaluates our operating performance. The adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate our profitability trends. We expect the derecognition expense and retrieval and other costs to recur in future periods as incurred during the implementation phase of the battery upgrade program.

Battery Swapping Service Rebate.听We voluntarily offered one-time subscription fee discounts to certain subscribers of Gogoro Network who experienced unusual and infrequent service inconveniences associated with a minor voluntary vehicle recall and battery upgrade, and such battery swapping service rebates are recorded as contra-revenue. We have excluded the impacts of such rebates from our non-IFRS metrics to allow investors to better understand the underlying operation results of the business and to facilitate comparison of current financial results with historical financial results and our peer group companies' financial results.

Impairment charges. Non-cash impairment charges, primarily associated with adjustments to the听carrying values of certain machinery equipment which is currently underutilized. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of long-lived assets under the accounting guidance on property, plant and equipment is subjective and requires judgment. We exclude impairment charges for purposes of calculating certain non-IFRS measures because the charges do not reflect our core operating performance. These adjustments facilitate a useful evaluation of our core operating performance and comparisons to past operating results and provide investors with additional means to evaluate expense trends.

These non-IFRS financial measures exclude share-based compensation, interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of financial liabilities associated with outstanding earnout shares, earn-in shares and warrants associated with the merger of Poema, battery upgrade initiative, battery swapping service rebate, and impairment charges. The Company uses these non-IFRS financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that these non-IFRS financial measures are useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends. In addition, these measures are the primary indicators management uses as a basis for its planning and forecasting for future periods.

Non-IFRS financial measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable IFRS financial measures. Non-IFRS financial measures are subject to limitations and should be read only in conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. A description of these non-IFRS financial measures has been provided above and a reconciliation of the Company's non-IFRS financial measures to their most directly comparable IFRS measures have been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations.
