Exhibit 99.1
Gogoro Releases First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
TAIPEI, TAIWAN, MAY 9, 2024 – Gogoro Inc. (“Gogoro,” “the Company” or “We”) (Nasdaq: GGR), a global technology leader in battery swapping ecosystems that enable sustainable mobility solutions for cities, today released its financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2024.
First Quarter 2024 Summary
▪Revenue of $69.7 million, down 12.1% year-over-year and down 9.0% on a constant currency basis.
▪Battery swapping service revenue of $32.5 million, up 0.6% year-over-year and up 4.1% on a constant currency basis.
▪Introduced two new vehicles, namely Gogoro Pulse, our new flagship Smartscooter, and JEGO, our new entry-level Smartscooter that received more than 5,000 backlog orders in the first quarter and started shipping early in the second quarter. Revenue associated with these backlog orders for JEGO in the first quarter is estimated to be $8.6 million which will not be recognized as revenue until vehicles are delivered.
▪Sales of hardware and others of $37.2 million, down 20.8% year-over-year and down 18.1% on a constant currency basis.
▪Gross margin of 6.4%, down from 12.9% in the same quarter last year. Non-IFRS gross margin of 13.3%, down 0.4% year-over-year.
▪Net loss of $13.1 million as compared to a net loss of $40.6 million in the same quarter last year.
▪Adjusted EBITDA of $9.0 million, down from $10.6 million in the same quarter last year.
“This quarter we unveiled two new vehicles, Gogoro Pulse, our new flagship Smartscooter, and JEGO, our new well-equipped and affordable Smartscooter. JEGO is the result of our effort to design a mass-market vehicle that improves our vehicle economics. JEGO quickly generated strong interest from first-time electric vehicle buyers in Taiwan and totaled more than 5,000 backlog orders in the last few weeks of the first quarter, making it our most successful Smartscooter launch since the beginning of the pandemic,” said Horace Luke, chairman, founder, and CEO of Gogoro. "We expect to recognize approximately $8.6 million in revenue associated with these first quarter backlog JEGO orders when we deliver vehicles to customers from April onwards. We have established a strong product offering for 2024.”
“We are strengthening our Taiwan business through key vehicle introductions, expansion of our retail and service center network and continuing to prioritize cost management as we carefully evaluate all investments for efficiency and returns. We are building out our new battery factory in India which is expected to start production in the second half of 2024 and we are continuing to deploy our battery swapping network in Delhi, India, as well as in the Philippines, South Korea, and adding Nepal as a new service area,” said Bruce Aitken, CFO of Gogoro. “In March 2024, we were recognized by Fast

First Quarter 2024 Financial Overview
Operating Revenues
For the first quarter, the total revenue was $69.7 million, down 12.1% year-over-year and down 9.0% 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 up by an additional $2.4 million. We had more than 5,000 backlog orders for JEGO in the first quarter with a total value of approximately $8.6 million. Customers have the right to cancel such orders prior to delivery. The large quantity of backlog orders is primarily the result of robust demand for JEGO, coupled with our need to balance manufacturing capacity across multiple vehicles and the need to balance our supply chain accordingly.
▪Battery swapping service revenue for the first quarter was $32.5 million, up 0.6% year-over-year, and up 4.1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis1. Total subscribers at the end of the first quarter exceeded 595,000, up 10.6% from 538,000 subscribers at the end of the same quarter last year. We provided rebates to some customers in the first quarter of 2024 associated with a minor vehicle recall and battery upgrades. Such rebates totaled $1.7 million and were accounted for as contra revenue.
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.
▪Sales of hardware and other revenues for the quarter were $37.2 million, down 20.8% year-over-year, and down 18.1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis1. The JEGO backlog orders we received are not reflected in the vehicle registration data published by the Taiwan government for the first quarter, nor did Gogoro recognize any revenue for these vehicles, despite receiving full payment from customers or approved financing from third-party financing companies. Gogoro will account for the vehicle revenue upon delivery to customers.
▪The government-reported registration volume of powered two-wheelers ("PTW") in the Taiwan market in the first quarter was down 11.2% year-over-year. While registrations of electric PTW were reported to be down by 39.0% compared to the same quarter last year, had we delivered the outstanding orders of JEGO, electric PTW registrations would have declined by 7.5% instead, representing a smaller decline compared to the overall PTW market.
▪Taiwan's two largest PTW manufacturers are publicly estimating that the total PTW market will shrink by 14% from last year's 870,000 units to around 750,000 units in 2024. Gogoro continues to believe that the total volume of electric PTW in Taiwan will see growth in 2024 as a result of the introduction of our new vehicle models, and the ongoing consumer transition from traditional internal combustion engine vehicles to electric PTW.

Exhibit 99.1
Gross Margin
For the first quarter, gross margin was 6.4%, down from 12.9% in the same quarter last year while non-IFRS gross margin1 was 13.3%, down from 13.7% in the same quarter last year. Such declines were primarily driven by a combination of factors: (i) a $2.8 million derecognition expenses on components removed from the battery pack and retrieval cost associated with our battery upgrade initiatives, (ii) a $1.7 million voluntary one-time battery swapping service rebate that was accounted for as contra revenue, and (iii) a $0.8 million increase in depreciation and other costs associated with our new overseas production facilities. These impacts, when combined, account for the 6.5% decline in gross margin. Both declines in gross margin and non-IFRS gross margin were partially offset by cost efficiencies generated from our continuous improvements in operational efficiency in Gogoro's battery swapping services.
We are carrying out one-time, voluntary upgrades on certain battery packs which are expected to take several quarters to complete. These upgrades provide multiple benefits — reduction of capital expenditures on replacing battery packs, increasing lifetime capacity of each battery pack (including extending its first 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 do come at a short-term reduction in our gross margin as we carry out the upgrades. We expect our IFRS gross margin will continue to be impacted during our upgrades planned in 2024 and 2025. The upgrades will impact both our cash position and profit. We will only upgrade battery packs in instances where the value created over time exceeds the cost of the upgrade.
Net Loss
For the first quarter, net loss was $13.1 million, representing a decrease of $27.5 million from a net loss of $40.6 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease in net loss was due to a favorable change of $31.7 million in the fair value of financial liabilities associated with outstanding earnout shares, earn-in shares and warrants compared to the same quarter last year as a result of the decrease of Gogoro stock price and the decrease of $2.7 million in operating expenses, which was partially offset by the decrease of $5.8 million in gross profit.
Adjusted EBITDA
For the first quarter, adjusted EBITDA1 was $9.0 million, representing a decrease of $1.6 million from $10.6 million in the same quarter last year. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in non-IFRS gross profit compared to the same quarter last year. The $1.6 million decrease in non-IFRS gross profit was a result of the cumulative effect of the factors mentioned above.
Liquidity
With a $132.5 million cash balance at the end of the first quarter of 2024 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.

Exhibit 99.1
2024 Guidance
For the full year of 2024, we continue to expect to generate revenue of $385 million to $420 million. While our first quarter revenue was lower than that in previous years, we believe that the typical seasonal volume increases in the remainder of the year as well as the volume of backlog orders for JEGO that are yet to be delivered and preorders for Pulse allow us to remain confident in these forecasts.

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 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 ended December 31, 2024 will be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information.

Exhibit 99.1
Backlog Orders
Backlog orders are not recognized as revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss until we deliver a vehicle to the buyer. The backlog orders are recorded as contract liabilities and the portion associated with financing receivable would be net against account receivables in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Backlog value is estimated based on manufacturer's suggested retail price net off associated sales incentives.
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. 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. 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 to investors to understand the specific impact of share-based compensation on our operating results.
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 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. 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, and battery swapping service rebate. These amounts do not reflect the impact of any related tax effects.
6
Exhibit 99.1
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 costs. 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. 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.
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 and battery swapping service rebate. 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 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.
