Gorilla Technology Completes Purchase of 1.1 Million Shares, Accelerates Buyback Programme to Capitalise on Substantial Undervaluation

London, United Kingdom - Newsfile Corp. - September 19, 2024 - Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), today announced the completion of its purchase of over 1.1 million shares as part of its recently launched share buyback programme.

With over $40 million in unrestricted cash, Gorilla will continue to look for opportunities to purchase additional shares, reaffirming its belief that the company's stock remains substantially undervalued.

"We believe that Gorilla Technology's shares are grossly undervalued and this buyback reflects our unshakable confidence in the company's future. Our strong balance sheet allows us to act nimbly and decisively, in optimising shareholder value while maintaining focus on driving our core business objectives," said Jay Chandan, Chairman and CEO of Gorilla Technology.

The company remains laser-focused on delivering value and growth, with several key areas of strength

  1. Aggressive Business Expansion: Gorilla is executing an assertive expansion strategy, making strides across multiple regions and sectors. By turning its strong pipeline of opportunities into a growing backlog for 2025, the Company is positioning itself for sustained growth. Recent wins, such as our two contracts in Taiwan and in Colombia, demonstrate our ability to convert potential opportunities into tangible results.
  2. Financial and Operational Excellence: Gorilla is committed to maintaining robust margins, stable cash flow and aggressive growth, allowing the company to capitalise on new opportunities while reinforcing its leadership position in AI-powered cybersecurity and data intelligence.
  3. Laser Focus on Cash: Gorilla remains unwavering in its focus on cash generation, both from existing contracts and the pipeline of future opportunities. We are committed to building a substantial war chest to fuel future growth and maintain financial flexibility. This proactive approach not only empowers Gorilla to seize new business opportunities but also enables us to execute shareholder-friendly initiatives with confidence. By ensuring robust liquidity, we are well-positioned to drive sustainable expansion while delivering tangible value to our shareholders.
  4. Protecting Shareholder Value: In light of recent suspicious trading activity involving Gorilla shares, the company is closely monitoring the situation. Should any evidence of illegal market manipulation emerge, Gorilla will act swiftly and decisively in coordination with regulatory authorities to protect the interests of its shareholders.
"We are relentless in our pursuit of value creation and growth for our shareholders. Our buyback programme is just one example of the decisive actions we are taking to address the clear undervaluation of our stock. As we continue to strengthen our financial position and expand our market footprint, Gorilla Technology is positioned for substantial success moving forward," added Chandan.

Gorilla Technology remains committed to delivering exceptional results and growth for its investors. The company anticipates reporting its 1H results before September 30th, with further updates on business strategy and market performance to follow.
