Second Quarter 2026 Business Update and Outlook

• Launching First Phase of a Multi-Year Product Renaissance — Transforming Gogoro’s product portfolio from the ground up, with the first phase of our multi-year product renaissance off to an exceptional start. EZZY, Disney Toy Story Series, and Gogoro Luna are the first wave of a broader product strategy designed to strengthen our core franchise, attract new consumers, and expand our addressable market—culminating in Gogoro’s first scooter entirely re-developed for women's lifestyle.
• Repositioning for Growth – Our product and customer repositioning strategy is gaining traction, allowing our electric scooters to regain a foothold in the market and expanding Gogoro’s appeal across a broader range of customers and use cases. The EZZY 500 has quickly established itself as a meaningful growth driver, contributing materially to Q2 2026 revenue and demonstrating the potential of our refreshed product portfolio. Building on this momentum, the launch of Gogoro Luna at the end of Q2 generated high consumer interest in early July. Together, these new products represent an important step in our multi-year product renaissance, strengthening our product-market fit and positioning Gogoro for renewed growth.

• Market Share Recovery and Baseline Outlook – Driven by targeted go-to-market execution and growing customer adoption, our market share rebounded significantly to 6% in Q2 2026, up from 2% earlier in the year. Looking ahead, we expect this momentum to be able to support a durable market-share baseline as we pursue long-term, sustainable growth.
  
  
• Looking Ahead and Community Engagement – Extending Q2's momentum into the second half of the year, we will host our flagship community event in Q3 2026, gathering thousands of Gogoro owners, Powered by Gogoro Network ("PBGN") riders, and GoShare users. By offering exclusive electric scooter access to local aviation landmarks and immersive brand activations, the event is designed to serve as a strategic driver for brand advocacy, grassroots engagement, and long-term user retention.

Second Quarter 2026 Financial Overview

Operating Revenues

For the second quarter, total revenue was $70.6 million, up 7.3% year-over-year and up 10.0% on a constant currency basis¹. Had foreign exchange rates remained constant with the average rate of the same period last year, revenue would have been up by an additional $1.8 million.

• Battery swapping service revenue for the second quarter was $37.4 million, down 0.6% year-over-year, and up 1.9% on a constant currency basis¹. Total subscribers at the end of the second quarter were 677,000, up 4% from 648,000 subscribers at the end of the same period last year. On a constant currency basis, battery swapping service revenue grew year-over-year, primarily driven by an expanding subscriber base and strong retention. While the higher mix of entry-level vehicles modestly impacted average revenue per user ("ARPU"), the broader trend of steady revenue growth supported by our growing subscriber base remains intact. Moreover, our subscription model continues to enhance network utilization and operating efficiency, reinforcing the long-term economics of our platform.
  
  
• Revenue from sales of hardware and others for the second quarter was $33.2 million, up 17.8% year-over-year, and up 20.7% on a constant currency basis¹. The year-over-year increase in revenue from sales of hardware and others was primarily driven by 50.8% year-over-year growth in Gogoro-branded scooter registrations and the completion of deliveries and related revenue recognition during the second quarter under an order from WeMo, a scooter-sharing partner. These positive drivers were partially offset by (i) a decrease in average selling price ("ASP"), resulting from a product mix shift toward newer entry-level models launched in late 2025 at lower price points, alongside a slight decrease in mid-to-high-end model sales volumes compared to the prior-year period, and (ii) a reduction in component and accessory sales derived from international customers and PBGN partners.
  
  

Gross Margin

For the second quarter, gross margin was 22.6%, up from 0.3% in the same period last year, while non-IFRS gross margin¹ was 22.6%, up from 17.0% in the same period last year. This substantial margin expansion reflects structural gains in operational efficiency and execution quality, due to these primary factors: (i) a $10.9 million reduction in costs associated with battery upgrade initiatives due to the completion of our upgrade program at the end of the prior year, (ii) improved overhead absorption, as higher production and sales volumes during the quarter reduced excess capacity costs, and (iii) broader savings across the energy network, reflecting enhanced network efficiency, longer battery lifespans from prior upgrades, and disciplined operational management collectively drove down depreciation, operation and maintenance (O&M) expenses, and electricity costs across our installed base of battery packs. These gains were partially tempered by lower average selling prices resulting from an unfavorable product mix shift toward entry-level offerings.

Over the past two years, we have undertaken a program to carry out one-time, voluntary upgrades on certain battery packs, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. These upgrades provide multiple benefits — enabling a more efficient deployment of our resources than replacing battery packs, increasing lifetime capacity of each battery pack (including extending its second mobility use-case) and solidifying the incremental lifetime capacity of each battery pack to validate our second-life thesis. These upgrades are expected to generate economic benefits in the long run, but they have reduced our gross margin in prior years.

Net Loss

For the second quarter, net loss was $4.9 million, representing a decrease of $21.6 million from a net loss of $26.5 million in the same period last year. The decrease in net loss was primarily driven by a $15.7 million increase in gross profit, fueled by a $10.9 million decrease in costs associated with battery upgrade initiatives, alongside higher overhead absorption from increased production volumes and broader operational efficiencies across the energy network. In addition, operating expenses declined by $4.6 million, primarily due to lower general and administrative expenses at overseas entities reflecting organizational restructuring and other operating expenses decreasing by $2.1 million, resulting in net other operating income for the period. This reduction was primarily attributable to the reversal of write-down for nonrepairable battery and the absence of impairment losses at overseas subsidiaries that had been recognized in the same period last year.

Adjusted EBITDA

For the second quarter, adjusted EBITDA¹ was $19.3 million, representing an increase of $6.8 million from $12.5 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in non-IFRS gross profit¹ (excluding depreciation and amortization), a $2.8 million reduction in operating expenses (excluding share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and impairment charges) resulting from various cost-saving initiatives, and a net increase of $1.1 million favorable change in non-operating income and expenses.

Liquidity

During the first half of 2026, operating cash inflows increased more than 70% to $26.0 million, compared with $15.2 million in the same period last year, reflecting continued benefits from organizational restructuring, improved operating efficiency, and disciplined working capital management. Our liquidity position remains strong, supported by disciplined capital allocation, including lower capital expenditures following the completion of battery upgrade initiatives in Q4 2025 and the continued reduction of outstanding debt. As of June 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $68.8 million, including the $16.7 million investment from Gold Sino. This investment was made pursuant to the equity funding commitment of up to NTD$2.5 billion (approximately $80 million), previously secured by a director of Gogoro. We believe our liquidity provides ample flexibility to support our strategic priorities and future growth.

2026 Guidance

We remain cautious given ongoing market softness. Accordingly, we expect revenue to recover modestly from 2025 levels and to be in the range from $285 million to $305 million in 2026. We continue to execute our long-term strategy to drive sustainable growth. We remain on track for the Gogoro Network battery-swapping business to achieve non-IFRS profitability in 2026, and for the hardware business to reach non-IFRS profitability in 2028.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (collectively, “IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods and the years presented, including the accounts of the Company and entities controlled by Gogoro Inc. The audited consolidated financial statements may differ materially from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our audited financial statements for the full year ending December 31, 2026 will be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ending December 31, 2026. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. The condensed consolidated financial statements may include selected updates, notes and disclosures if there are significant changes since the date of the most recent annual report on Form 20-F which included the audited financial statements of the Company.

This press release and accompanying tables contain certain non-IFRS financial measures as listed below.

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 Gross Profit and Gross Margin. Gogoro defines non-IFRS gross profit and gross margin as gross profit and gross margin excluding share-based compensation and battery upgrade initiatives.

Non-IFRS Net Loss. Gogoro defines non-IFRS net loss as net loss excluding share-based compensation, the change in fair value of financial liabilities and battery upgrade initiatives and impairment charges. 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 (if any), depreciation, and amortization. These amounts do not reflect the impact of any related tax effects.

Adjusted EBITDA. Gogoro defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding share-based compensation, the change in fair value of financial liabilities, battery upgrade initiatives and impairment charges. These amounts do not reflect the impact of any related tax effects.

Share-based Compensation. Share-based compensation consists of non-cash 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 non-cash 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 for investors to understand the specific impact of share-based compensation on our operating results.

Change in Fair Value of Financial Liabilities. These are non-cash mark-to-market adjustments associated with earnout shares, earn-in shares, and warrants associated with the de-SPAC in 2022. We exclude these items for purposes of calculating certain non-IFRS measures because these are driven primarily by changes in market valuation assumptions and the Company's share price rather than our underlying operating performance. We believe that this exclusion enhances the comparability of our period-to-period operating results with those of our peers.

Battery Upgrade Initiatives. As we performed certain voluntary upgrades to our battery packs, this charge represented the (i) derecognition expense on components removed from the battery pack, which we did 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 only upgraded battery packs in instances where the value created exceeds the cost of the upgrade. The program improves batteries' capacity and extends the remaining useful life of certain battery packs. The derecognition expense and the retrieval and other costs were 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 and may not be indicative of our core business operating results. 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. The battery upgrade initiatives have been completed in Q4 2025.

Impairment charges. Non-cash impairment charges, primarily associated with adjustments to the 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 interest expense, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, change in fair value of financial liabilities, impairment charges and battery upgrade initiatives. 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.
