- Operating cash flow for the first quarter of 2026 increased by
$12.0 million to$3.1 million, up from$(8.9) million in the same period last year, reflecting improved working capital management and ongoing cost discipline. - Continued focus on manufacturing cost discipline and operational efficiency resulted in IFRS gross margin of 20.4% (up 15.5 percentage points year-over-year) and non-IFRS gross margin of 20.5% (up 2.3 percentage points year-over-year), respectively. Notably, our IFRS gross margin has now converged with non-IFRS levels, slightly surpassing last year’s non-IFRS benchmark.
- Net loss decreased by
$10.7 million to$(7.9) million , which is a significant decrease from$(18.6) million in the same period last year.
First Quarter 2026 Business Update and Outlook
- Energy Business Progressing Toward Profitability – We are excited that the energy business is on a clear path to profitability in 2026, consistent with our plan communicated over the past year. During the period, we began enhancing platform efficiency through the retirement and recycling of legacy first generation batteries, improving system utilization and customer experience. At the same time, we are preparing for the deployment of next-generation batteries with improved cost efficiency and higher performance, further strengthening the long-term economics of the energy platform. Planned capital expenditures for the energy business are expected to be approximately
$30 million in 2026, supporting ongoing network optimization and technology upgrades. - Product Portfolio Execution and Early Growth Signals – The first quarter marked the successful launch of the EZZY 500
Disney co-branded model, generating strong initial demand. Revenue contribution and broader vehicle deliveries for this model are expected to materialize in the second quarter. As a targeted entry-level model, it resulted in a modest dilution to the average selling price, as expected, while overall performance aligned with our expectations. Even so, we're encouraged to see our recurring revenue engine fueled by year-over-year 32.8% vehicle registered volume increase. Building on this initial success, we are advancing a more diversified product strategy in 2026 to strengthen our coverage across core customer cohorts and support sustainable growth. - B2G & Commercial Mobility Expansion – Government-related deployments continued to advance in Q1 2026, with phased deliveries to law enforcement fleets and other public sector applications, reflecting the steady adoption of Gogoro’s battery-swapping platform within Taiwan’s electrified transportation initiatives. These deployments highlight the suitability of Gogoro’s solution for high-utilization urban fleet operations that require continuous availability. In parallel, we are progressing discussions with leading shared mobility operators regarding broader deployment opportunities for their platforms and supporting future growth in commercial fleet applications. Together, these developments underscore the expected continued expansion and increasing coverage of the Gogoro Network ecosystem across public and commercial mobility segments.

“We delivered a strong start to 2026, and this is only the beginning of our next product and growth cycle. In the first quarter, we saw encouraging recovery in sales volume driven by the launch of our new vehicle models, helping us regain market momentum and reinforcing confidence in our product roadmap. While we are still in the early stages of expanding our product offerings, the progress we are seeing across our product portfolio and ecosystem development positions us well for stronger execution in the quarters ahead,” said
“In the first quarter, we continued to demonstrate disciplined financial execution, with meaningful improvement in operating cash flow and stable gross margin. While top-line performance reflects ongoing product and market transitions, our focus on cost control, working capital management, and operational efficiency enabled us to deliver improved profitability metrics and stronger operating cash generation compared to the prior year,” said
First Quarter 2026 Financial Overview
Operating Revenues
For the first quarter, the total revenue was
- Battery swapping service revenue for the first quarter was
$36.6 million , up 6.2% year-over-year, and up 2.1% on a constant currency basis1. Total subscribers at the end of the first quarter were 670,000, up 4% from 644,000 subscribers at the end of the same period last year. The year-over-year increase in battery swapping service revenue was primarily driven by a larger subscriber base and consistently high retention. As our subscriber base grows, our subscription model continues to enhance network utilization and operating efficiency, reinforcing the long-term economics of our battery swapping platform. - Revenue from sales of hardware and others for the first quarter was
$26.3 million , down 9.8% year-over-year, and down 13.2% on a constant currency basis1. The year-over-year decrease in revenue from sales of hardware and others was primarily driven by (i) a decrease in average selling price (“ASP”) due to a mix shift toward new entry-level models which launched in late 2025 featuring a lower price point and the slight decrease in sales of mid-to-high-end models compared to the prior-year period, (ii) a decrease in revenue from the sale of components and accessories to international customers, and (iii) a decrease in electric scooter sharing revenue due to a year-over-year decline in the number of rentals.
Gross Margin
For the first quarter, gross margin was 20.4%, up from 4.9% in the same period last year, while non-IFRS gross margin1 was 20.5%, up from 18.2% in the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by a combination of factors reflecting improved efficiency, quality, and overall performance: (i) an
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.

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 Gross Profit and Gross Margin.
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.
Non-IFRS Net Loss.
EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA.
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.
These non-IFRS financial measures exclude share-based compensation, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of financial liabilities 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.
