London, United Kingdom - Newsfile Corp. - July 21, 2026 - Gorilla
Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GRRR) ("Gorilla" or the "Company"), a
global provider of AI-driven infrastructure, security intelligence and
data solutions, today announced that the completion of its two recent
bond financings, raising aggregate gross proceeds of $232 million, is
enabling the Company to accelerate execution across its AI
infrastructure programmes in India, Indonesia and Thailand. The most
recent financing is being deployed principally towards the NeutraDC
Batam programme while the earlier financing supports Gorilla's equity
contribution to the Yotta 2 programme.
Jay Chandan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Gorilla Technology, said:
"There has been considerable market attention on the financing
instrument but a lack of focus on the signed commercial programme that
the financing enables. What should shareholders focus on' Not the
financing itself, but the hundreds of millions of dollars in annualized
revenue those financings have made possible.
This is not capital raised in the hope that Gorilla will subsequently
find a customer or identify a project. The customer contract is signed,
the data-centre capacity has been secured and the deployment programme
is moving into execution. The financing provides the capital required to
connect those elements and begin delivery.
The market is entitled to scrutinise every financing. Management is
equally responsible for explaining what that financing supports. In this
case, our $125 million capital raise is helping Gorilla execute a
signed contract representing approximately $2.5 billion of expected
revenue over five years alongside separate financing offers covering
approximately 70% of expected project costs.
Growth on this scale cannot be funded by rhetoric. It requires
disciplined access to capital, strong counterparties and capital
deployed against contracted demand. That is precisely what Gorilla is
doing.
Capital is not the destination. It is the bridge between signed customer demand and revenue-generating infrastructure.
I will not allow short-term market volatility to distract us from the
work in front of us. Our focus is deployment, revenue, cash generation
and profitability. The bonds are a financing instrument. The measure of
this management team will be the business we build with them."
Bruce Bower, Chief Financial Officer of Gorilla Technology, said: "Across
the two recent financings, Gorilla has secured approximately $232
million of long-term corporate capital to support the GPUaaS programme.
We continue to match corporate equity, project-level debt, asset-backed
financing, and operating cash flows to the specific requirements and
duration of each project.
As deployments become operational, our objective is to use the cash
generated by the underlying projects to support subsequent phases of
growth and progressively reduce the amount of corporate-level capital
required."
Indonesia: NeutraDC Batam Remains on Schedule
The NeutraDC Batam programme remains on schedule. The Company's most
recent financing provided the corporate equity capital required to make
advance payments, secure committed data-centre capacity and commence
equipment procurement, logistics, integration and mobilisation for the
initial deployment phases.
The first phase is expected to be deployed in two tranches, with the
initial tranche targeted for September 2026 and the second targeted for
December 2026. The remaining contracted capacity is expected to be
delivered during the first half of 2027.
Revenue is expected to commence as contracted capacity is deployed and accepted in accordance with the customer agreement.
The programme supports a signed five-year AI compute infrastructure
contract representing approximately $2.5 billion of expected revenue,
including approximately $1.3 billion from its first phase.
India: Yotta Deployments Advancing Ahead of Schedule
The Company's earlier financing was raised principally to support
Gorilla's equity contribution to the Yotta 2 programme, which is
structured to support the deployment of 20,736 next-generation GPUs in
New Delhi, India. Deployment activities for Gorilla's Yotta 1 and Yotta 2
programmes in India are progressing ahead of the Company's current
internal schedules.
For Yotta 1, the Company is advancing the installation, integration,
networking and operational-readiness work required to bring the initial
GPU infrastructure into service. The current programme comprises 640
high-performance servers with 5,120 GPUs.
Gorilla has funded the initial mobilisation and deployment expenditure
for Yotta 1 from its existing cash resources. The Yotta 1 programme is
expected to contribute approximately $500 million of revenue over five
years. The 640 servers are expected to be built, shipped and deployed by
end of August 2026.
Work on Yotta 2 is also advancing across engineering, site readiness,
infrastructure architecture, equipment planning and deployment
sequencing. The programme is structured to support the planned
deployment of an additional 20,736 next-generation GPUs in Delhi and has
an estimated project value of approximately $2.5 billion under the
current commercial framework.
The progress across both programmes reflects increasingly close
coordination between Gorilla, Yotta, equipment providers, integration
teams and financing partners.
Why the Recent Financings Matter
Gorilla's two recent financings raised capital that provides the
corporate equity component required to unlock substantially larger
project-level and asset-backed financing packages.
Large infrastructure programmes are not ordinarily financed with 100%
project debt. Sponsors are required to contribute equity capital before
lenders fund the balance. Gorilla's recent financings provide that
equity contribution against signed customer demand and defined
deployment programmes.
The Company continues to progress separate debt financing offers
covering approximately 70% of expected GPU, networking and related
infrastructure costs for the NeutraDC Batam programme.
The latest bonds do not result in the automatic issuance of ordinary
shares upon closing. The initial conversion price of approximately
$25.48 per ordinary share represent a premium of approximately 52% to
Gorilla's closing share price on July 14, 2026, subject to reset
mechanisms previously disclosed by the Company including a potential
upward reset.
Thailand: Korat 200MW Campus Advances Towards Commercialisation
At full build-out and utilisation, the 200MW IT-load campus is expected
to support approximately 100,000 to 110,000 next-generation GPU
equivalents.
Based on current pricing and utilisation assumptions, the fully
developed campus has an illustrative gross revenue potential of
approximately $16 billion to $18 billion over five years.
This represents potential rather than contracted revenue and remains
subject to customer contracting, financing, final equipment
configuration, deployment timing and utilisation.
Gorilla is advancing discussions with prospective customers regarding
phased capacity commitments and long-duration offtake arrangements.
Jay Chandan concluded: "The signed programmes and physical deployments
that our financing efforts have enabled are the real story.
The recent financings provide the equity capital required to unlock much
larger project-level financing packages across Batam and Yotta.
Infrastructure programmes of this scale are not financed with rhetoric
or 100% debt. They require sponsor capital, disciplined execution and
contracted demand.
Across India and Indonesia, Gorilla is moving from contract to
deployment. In Thailand, we are advancing the next major stage of our
regional platform.
Short-term market volatility does not alter the contracts, the
deployment schedules or the underlying commercial opportunity - and
certainly not our focus. We will be judged by infrastructure delivered,
customers activated, revenue generated, cash collected and sustainable
profitability. That is where management's attention will remain."
