London, United Kingdom--(Newsfile Corp. - March 6, 2025) - Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company") is responding to recent misleading and uninformed online speculation that has caused unnecessary confusion among investors. The blog post in question relies on innuendo and vague insinuations rather than facts. Notably, the author made no attempt to verify their claims with the Company before publication. Gorilla remains fully transparent in its operations, regularly disclosing financial and business updates, and stands by its strong fundamentals, growing contract backlog, and clear strategic direction.
"If you want to understand Gorilla, read our research coverage by analysts from Alliance Global Partners and Northland Capital," said Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO of Gorilla. "These seasoned professionals have decades of Wall Street experience and have conducted rigorous due diligence on our company. Both analysts have put buy ratings on Gorilla. By contrast, a self-published blogger is not a credible source of analysis."
Gorilla reiterates key facts about its business that have been previously disclosed:
In August 2024, the Company collected on the majority of its Accounts Receivable, with the receipts reviewed by Gorilla's auditors as part of the preparation for the 1H 2024 financial statements. Gorilla's auditor, Marcum Asia, is part of Marcum LLP, a nationally recognized top accounting firm (#13 in US), further reinforcing the integrity and credibility of the Company's financial reporting.
Over the past five years, Gorilla has strategically evolved into a leading provider of AI-driven Smart City solutions, with a strong emphasis on security convergence and the Internet of Things (IoT). The Company has consistently communicated this transition to the market, along with transparent disclosures on the details of its ongoing projects.
Gorilla reports a backlog of signed contracts that are either in progress or scheduled for delivery. The Company's backlog stands at $93 million for 2025, and Gorilla reiterates its revenue guidance of $90-100 million for this year.
The Company's pipeline increased from $2 billion to $6 billion within months, driven by new projects and the progression of projects into qualified leads. On March 3, 2025, Gorilla announced the signing of a $1.8 billion MoU to modernize Thailand's electricity grid, demonstrating the Company's ability to successfully advance and convert opportunities within its pipeline.
The Company has announced that it will achieve full Sarbanes-Oxley compliance for 2024, two years ahead of the deadline for Emerging Growth Companies.
Mr. Bower assumed the role of CFO in 2024 following an orderly transition from the previous CFO and has the full confidence of the Board.
The Company will release its Full Year 2024 financial results on March 31, 2025, and will file its 20-F report with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2025.
