Gogoro (NASDAQ:GGR) is a Taiwan-based technology company specializing in electric two-wheeler vehicles and battery-swapping infrastructure. Founded in 2011 by Horace Luke and Matt Taylor, the company pioneered the concept of a large-scale, on-demand battery-as-a-service (BaaS) network. Its flagship offering, the Gogoro Smartscooter, integrates a lightweight, high-performance electric drivetrain with a modular battery pack designed to be exchanged at convenient swap stations.

The core of Gogoro’s business is the Gogoro Energy Network, a proprietary system of battery-swapping stations that allows riders to quickly exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones. This network model reduces dependence on home charging and minimizes downtime, making electric two-wheeler adoption more practical in dense urban environments. Gogoro also engineers and produces its own battery technology, IoT connectivity modules, and mobile apps to provide real-time monitoring of vehicle performance and energy usage.

Beyond manufacturing its own Smartscooter line, Gogoro licenses its technology platform to motorcycle and scooter brands around the world. Strategic partnerships include agreements with established OEMs in Asia and Europe, enabling local manufacturers to adopt Gogoro’s battery-swapping system under their own brands. The company initially focused on the Greater Taipei region, where it operates hundreds of swap stations, and has since expanded its footprint into markets such as India, France and other European countries through collaborative ventures.

Gogoro is led by co-founder and CEO Horace Luke, who previously served as chief innovation officer at HTC. Under his leadership, the company has advanced electric mobility solutions that combine hardware, software and infrastructure into an integrated ecosystem. Gogoro went public in 2022 and is listed on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker symbol GGR, positioning itself as a key innovator in the transition toward sustainable urban transportation.

[Michael George Bowen, Head of Investor Relations at Gogoro]

Welcome to Gogoro third quarter 2025 earnings conference call hosted by our CEO Henry Chiang and CFO Bruce Aitken. Hopefully you have a chance to review our earnings release. If not, you can find it along with today's presentation materials on the Investor Relations section of our website at investor.gogoro.com. We are hosting this call via live webcast and the presentation materials will be displayed on your screen as we go.

[Michael George Bowen, Head of Investor Relations at Gogoro]

If you are joining us by phone, your lines are in listen only mode. Henry will start with an overview of Gogoro's progress and the key highlights for the quarter, followed by Bruce who will take you through the financial results in more detail. After that, we will open the line for Q&A as time allows.

[Michael George Bowen, Head of Investor Relations at Gogoro]

Before we begin, please note that today's discussion may include forward-looking statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Please refer to our press release and investor presentation for further information. We will also discuss certain non-IFRS financial measures today. Reconciliation to the comparable IFRS measure can be found in our earnings release. With that, let me turn the call over to Henry.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

Thanks George. As we close the third quarter of 2025, I'm proud of how Gogoro continues to strengthen its foundation, one built on operational discipline, innovation and long term focus. The last few quarters have been about reinforcing the fundamentals that will power Gogoro's next chapter. Our focus on operational efficiency continues to deliver results. Over the first nine months of the year, our focus has been on stabilization, efficiency and cost optimization and it shows.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

We generated over $25.7 million in operating cash flow, nearly doubling last year's level, and achieved approximately $21 million in operating expense savings compared with the same period in 2024. We grew our adjusted EBITDA to $47 million over the first nine months of the year, a 25% increase over last year and delivered an adjusted gross margin of 19.3% for the nine months, an improvement of 4.3 percentage points from 2024.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

These gains didn't happen by accident. They reflect a companywide commitment to simplify, streamline, and strengthen. We've tightened all aspects of our operations, including a more efficient deployment of resources, lowering our inventory levels, improving our production planning, and increasing the efficiency of our selling channels and marketing efforts. These changes are translating into tangible outcomes, better cash conversion, and improved flexibility to respond to shifting market demand.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

Our product roadmap is also expanding to position us for future growth. The launch of our Easy and Easy 500 models this year broadens Gogoro's reach across price segments, strengthening our competitive positioning in the mass market segments while reinforcing our technology leadership. The Easy has been the best selling electric two wheeler in Taiwan for five consecutive months, and the Easy 500, which has a larger motor in the same light chassis, increasing performance to the 125cc level, became the best selling 125cc electric two wheeler in Taiwan in October.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

We expect these products to continue to lead their categories for the rest of 2025 and contribute meaningful sales volume and margin throughout 2026. Our Powered by Gogoro Network partners continue to scale and innovate. Yamaha's recent launch of the QXI in August is a great example of how leading manufacturers are deepening their commitment to Gogoro's ecosystem. Each new PBGN model not only validates the strength of our technology, but also expands the value of our swapping network, creating a reinforcing loop of adoption, efficiency, and trust.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

It is clear that we have strengthened our operational foundation. We are more agile, more disciplined and better prepared to navigate near-term headwinds while executing for long-term value. In 2025 we have proven that Gogoro can generate strong operating cash flow, expand margins and execute with precision. Now as we prepare for 2026, we are turning that foundation into momentum, leveraging a renewed product and technology portfolio to capture the next wave of electrification across Asia and beyond.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

This is where vision becomes action and where our leadership shapes the future of urban mobility. It is widely accepted that electrification of two-wheelers will continue and that battery swapping solutions will drive much of that growth. Policymakers and customers alike are seeing the benefits of the battery swapping model. To capitalize on this momentum, we are investing in vehicle, battery, and ecosystem developments.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

The core of an EV's performance is its powertrain and the heart of the powertrain is a motor. Over Gogoro's history, we've consistently developed the best electric two-wheel powertrain and motors and we're currently developing another innovative motor which will improve key metrics like vehicle energy efficiency. These improvements continue to deliver best-in-class performance for our vehicle customers and we expect this motor to be ready for launch in late 2026.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

We are launching three vehicle models in 2026. These vehicles address multiple market segments, the specifications meet and exceed customer expectations and initial feedback from both channel partners and directly from riders has been very positive. We look forward to sharing those vehicles with markets in 2026. At the heart of our network and our recurring revenue subscription model is our battery pack. It is the most dense battery of its kind in the industry and our safety record is also industry leading.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

To build on our historical success, we've kicked off development on a totally new generation of battery pack, one that will have greater density, improved manufacturability, and lower cost, but is 100% compatible with all of our existing battery packs. This battery will specifically benefit customers in cost sensitive markets and will further demonstrate the total cost advantages of electric two wheelers versus ICE vehicles.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

As a result of both our operational focus as well as our product and technology innovation, we are entering the final quarter of 2025 confident in our ability to deliver on our promise of Gogoro Network profitability in 2026, Gogoro Network generating positive free cash flow in 2027, and hardware sales profitability in 2028. With that, let me hand it over to Bruce who will take you through the quarter's financial results and provide more details on our outlook.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

Thanks Henry. We delivered strong non-IFRS performance this quarter and demonstrated that the foundation we have built is ready for the next chapter. Let me take you through our third quarter financial results in more detail. Our energy business continues to grow and is on track to generate income in 2026. Battery swapping service revenue grew 11.5% year- over-year to $38.9 million, marking another quarter of double-digit growth despite a contracting two-wheeler market in Taiwan.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

This growth was driven by a large subscriber base reaching 657,000 riders at quarter end, up 5% year-over-year. The subscription-based nature of this business allows us to continue improving network utilization and profitability even when vehicle sales fluctuate. Operationally, we made strong progress in efficiency and cost management. Our teams successfully reduced inventory by 34% year-over-year, a result of more effective procurement and production planning.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

These improvements reflect the significant work among multiple teams and demonstrate our commitment to cost management both now and in the future. Our energy business continues to be the financial backbone of Gogoro, generating recurring cash flow, expanding margins and demonstrating the stability of our platform. Turning to our hardware and other revenues, this segment, which includes vehicles and component sales, faced headwinds in the quarter.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

As Taiwan's overall two-wheeler market contracted to 196,000 units, its lowest third quarter level in a decade. Hardware and other revenue was $38.7 million, down 25.5% year-over-year, primarily due to a 43.7% decline in vehicle sales volume. This decline reflects a combination of macroeconomic headwinds, weaker consumer sentiment and decreased discretionary spending which affected both gasoline and electric motorcycles alike.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

While this environment remains challenging, we've taken proactive steps to right size our cost structure, streamline our vehicle portfolio, and focus our R&D investment on models and technologies that will yield the best long term return. The launches of Easy and Easy 500 are good examples of this focused approach designed to expand our addressable market across different price segments while maintaining healthy margins.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

We view 2025 as a transitional year for our hardware business, one in which we are strengthening fundamentals and preparing for the renewed growth momentum in 2026 supported by new products, both our own and partners. From a macro perspective, Taiwan's market environment remains soft with motorcycle retail sales, gasoline and electric combined, down roughly 9% year-over-year, and consumer confidence at its lowest point since early 2024.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

We don't expect a near term rebound in consumer demand and our planning assumptions reflect that view. However, the structural shift towards electrification continues and our partnerships with major OEMs and city governments puts us in a strong position to capture that transition once sentiment improves. Our financial discipline and operational improvements over the past year have made us more resilient to these cyclical fluctuations.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

Moving to profitability, our gross margin improved significantly to 12.2%, up from 5.4% in the same quarter last year. On a non-IFRS basis, gross margin reached 22.2%, up 5.9 percentage points year-over-year, representing our highest quarterly level since 2022. This margin expansion was primarily driven by improved inventory management, reduced service and repair costs and fewer inventory write downs.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

Our voluntary battery upgrade program continues, which does have a short term impact on gross margin, but it strengthens our long term economics by extending battery life and improving reliability. Our adjusted EBITDA rose to $20.2 million, up from $15.5 million last year, another record level since 2022. This improvement reflects higher non-IFRS gross profit, tighter cost control, and improved non-operating income.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

We generated $25.7 million in operating cash flow in the first nine months of 2025, almost double last year's level, supported by stronger working capital management and expense efficiency. Our net loss narrowed to $14.9 million compared with $18.2 million in the same quarter last year, reflecting a healthier operating structure and continued improvement in profitability metrics. Through these actions, we've strengthened our balance sheet and enhanced financial flexibility, giving us a strong foundation to pursue profitable growth in 2026 and beyond.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

Given the softer market conditions, we are adjusting our full year 2025 revenue outlook. To between $270 million and $285 million, reflecting the continued contraction in Taiwan's two wheeler market. We expect gross margin in the fourth quarter to remain temporarily impacted by our accelerated battery upgrade program, which we expect to complete by year end. These investments are deliberate and strategic, aimed at improving battery durability, customer satisfaction and long term profitability.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

We remain focused on finishing this year with strong operational execution, continued cost discipline and healthy cash generation. With the structural improvements we've made, Gogoro enters 2026 with greater efficiency, agility and confidence in delivering sustainable profitability. Thanks and now we'll take some questions.

[Michael George Bowen, Head of Investor Relations at Gogoro]

Thank you Henry and Bruce for the updates. For webcast participants, you can submit your question using the dropdown box in the top right corner. We'll address them as time permits. As attendees are formulating their question, I will ask two questions that we have collected. Question number one.

[Michael George Bowen, Head of Investor Relations at Gogoro]

Congratulations Henry on your appointment as official CEO. Over the past year, as interim CEO, you have overseen quite a few strategic and operational changes at Gogoro. Can you share what this appointment means to you personally and what your vision and priorities are for Gogoro over the next 12 months?

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

Thank you, George, and thank you and I really appreciate the kind words. It has been a privilege to lead Gogoro over the past year and to now take on the role as a permanent CEO. Throughout the history, any transformation requires full dedication to fundamentals like products, technology, and execution. Gogoro has been investing in shaping and even creating the industry for the past decade.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

Over the past year, beyond the quarterly number, we have been diving deep to understand the true core and spirit of Gogoro. The more I uncover, the more I see a company with innumerous potential and untapped upside. Of course, challenges remain and many more lie ahead, but at the heart of it all are solid fundamentals, a resilient team and a clear mission.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

My vision for turning Gogoro around begins with streamlined operation and ensuring our financial results consistently meet expectations while building the operational resilience to thrive in dynamic markets. With this strong foundation in place, we can confidently focus on creating sustainable long term value and unlocking the full potential of Gogoro's innovation and impact. With our operations stabilized, we are now focusing on product and technology innovations. This is the season we are anticipating in 2026.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

We have seen policy tailwind in Southeast Asia and that indicates broad adoption of battery swapping and electrification. I'm excited, active and also cautious as I look into expansion opportunities and I look forward to share more with you in the coming quarters. My vision is clear and remains unchanged to change the way people use and share energy and build cleaner and smarter cities for the future through battery swapping, which is the best solution for dense urban mobility. Thanks again for the question and we will continue to push forward toward a better future.

[Michael George Bowen, Head of Investor Relations at Gogoro]

Thank you, Henry. Question number two. your stock has declined following the 20 to 1 reverse stock split you executed in early October. Can you provide your view on this decline? Do you have any concerns? How do you view the long term prospects for Gogoro?

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

Thanks, George. There are two ways to look at stock performance. One is the immediate response to the reverse stock split, which I'll address first. There is also a strategic perspective on the stock in general. You're absolutely right. We have experienced a decline since the reverse stock split in early October. We think that's largely a near-term and largely a technical reaction. Many companies that do a reverse stock split do in fact experience a decline in the near term immediately after the split.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

We've observed that pattern in other companies. We're not surprised by the stock price decline, but obviously we'll do everything we can to reestablish confidence among the investor group. Really, the short-term movement doesn't change the underlying fundamentals of the business. With our operational discipline that Henry spoke about earlier, our cash flow generation capability, our cost control and the growth opportunities that we have in front of us, we'll continue to focus on executing.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

We'll continue to focus on strengthening the balance sheet and we'll try to deliver long term value for shareholders. If you look at the stock price from that more strategic lens, then we do not believe that the stock price reflects the intrinsic value of our business. We think the most challenging period for Gogoro is behind us. We believe there are better days in the future. Whether you look at policy tailwinds, you look at the speed with which cities are accelerating their electrification, whether you look at customer and partner engagement, all of those point to a faster adoption of electric mobility in the future.

[Bruce Aitken, CFO at Gogoro]

As Henry pointed out, for dense urban cities, the battery swapping technology is the preferred option. It's probably the only option that will work in many locations and for many customers. Our message to investors is clear. Focus on those long term fundamentals, focus on the platform's growth, focus on our mission. We're committed to delivering sustainable value to our shareholders over the long.

[Michael George Bowen, Head of Investor Relations at Gogoro]

Thank you, Bruce. Now we open the line for further questions.

[Operator]

There seems to be no further questions. I'll turn the call over to Henry for some few closing remarks.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

Okay, thank you. As we close this quarter, I want to thank our teams, partners, and customers for their continued dedication and support. Over the past few quarters, we have strengthened our operations, improved efficiency, and laid a solid foundation for our sustainable growth. This is a strong and continuous commitment to our customers and shareholders. Looking ahead to 2026, we are laser focused on delivering value through innovations.

[Henry Chiang, CEO at Gogoro]

We strongly believe that battery swapping is taking off and Gogoro's product and technology will continue to lead the way. We remain committed to the milestone we have shared with the public: achieving Energy network profitability in 2026, generating positive free cash flow from the Energy network business in 2027, and delivering sustained company wide profitability in 2028. Thank you for your trust and confidence in Gogoro and we look forward to keeping you updated on our progress in the quarters ahead.
