“第三季为我们提供了重新评估我们业务优势和优先事项的机会,并制定了一个将我们带入公司新时代的计划。成长为一家成熟且注重执行的企业需要我们观念的转变,对业务运作方式的明确愿景和新层次的纪律。我们致力于建立一个可以长期获利的业务”, 说gogoro inc的临时CEO Henry Chiang。“我们有底牌可打,也有可以解决且在我们控制范围内的问题。Gogoro的下一个增长阶段必须利用这些现有优势,专注于照顾我们的 Riders,简化我们的业务并提供一个无与伦比的电池交换体验。” We are getting back to our core beliefs and vision for enabling the mass transition of gas-powered scooters to electric Smartscooters. This is what our battery swapping network was created to do.”
“Our financial performance is disappointing and did not meet our expectations for this quarter and the year-to-date, but our top line execution in the third quarter of 2024 outperformed the same quarter last year in terms of number of scooter orders, including our backlog orders. Additionally, we continue to accumulate new Gogoro Network subscribers, and that business continues to grow in line with subscriber growth. We ended the third quarter with more than 625,000 accumulated subscribers, up from 570,000 subscribers at the end of the same quarter last year, and had $3490万 in battery swapping service

revenue,” said Bruce Aitken, CFO of Gogoro. “Our stock price and financial performance in the third quarter of 2024 were impacted by three significant challenges. We recently announced our receipt of a Nasdaq Listing Compliance Notice, our CEO's resignation, and we’ve had a government inquiry into our potential use of imported parts in two vehicle models. 领导团队迅速回应并概述了前进的战略路径,我们相信这将巩固我们在台湾的领导地位并拓展我们在海外的业务。
For the third quarter, gross margin was 5.4%, down from 18.3% in the same quarter last year while non-IFRS gross margin1 was 14.7%, down from 19.2% in the same quarter last year. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by a combination of factors: (i) a $270万 derecognition expenses on components removed from the battery pack and $490万 costs associated with our battery upgrade initiatives, (ii) a decrease in ASP associated with an increase in sales of lower-priced models, (iii) higher excess capacity costs due to reduced sales volume, (iv) a one-time free upgrade cost in certain vehicle models associated with product warranty in the third quarter of 2024, and (v) a lower margin contribution from Gogoro OEm parts.
Gogoro has always viewed ourselves as an energy platform company. Every year we invest heavily in growing and updating our Gogoro Network by deploying new GoStations, battery packs, and software updates. Over the last three years, that investment has been approximately $10700万 annually.
Additionally, for the last few quarters, we have been undertaking a program to carry out one-time, voluntary upgrades on certain battery packs which are expected to take several quarters to complete, continuing into 2025. These upgrades provide multiple benefits — more efficient deployment of our resources than 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 generate a short-term reduction in our gross margin as we continue carrying out these upgrades. We expect our cash position, gross profit and gross margin will continue to be impacted by the costs of these upgrades during 2024 and 2025. In order to improve our customers' experiences, and to extend battery life, we plan to continue to upgrade a substantial quantity of our battery packs which are already in circulation and to improve designs of our battery packs to make them more rugged, long-lasting, and enhance their safety.
净损失
For the third quarter, net loss was $1820万, representing an increase of $1510万 from a net loss of $310万 in the same quarter last year. The increase in net loss was due to a $1110万 decrease of the favorable change in the fair value of financial liabilities associated with outstanding earnout shares, earn-in shares and warrants compared to the same quarter last year and the decrease of $1210万 in gross profit. The increase in net loss was partially offset by the decrease of $750万 in operating expenses, primarily consisting of (i) a $540万 decrease in share-based compensation, (ii) a $260万 decrease in general and administrative expenses as a result of our cost management efforts, (iii) a $180万 decrease in research and development expenses, and (iv) a $310万 increase in a customer care package.
调整后的EBITDA
For the third quarter, adjusted EBITDA1 was $1410万, representing an increase of $100万 from $1310万 in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to a $540万 decrease in

operating expenses (excluding share-based compensation and customer care package) associated with various cost-saving initiatives, and a $140万 increase in other income, net. The increase was partially offset by a $480万 decrease in non-IFRS gross profit and a $90万 increase in share of loss of investments accounted for using equity method compared to the same quarter last year.

5 Gogoro consummated two share subscription agreements with Gold Sino Assets Limited ("Gold Sino") and Castrol Holdings International Limited ("Castrol") on June 3 and June 25, 2024, respectively.
(i)Pursuant to the agreement with Gold Sino, Gogoro issued 32,516,095 ordinary shares, at a price of $1.5377 per share, for an aggregated purchase price at $50,000,000, with warrants granted to Gold Sino to purchase, a portion or all, 10,838,698 ordinary shares of Gogoro in the successive five years immediately after the issuance. We classify such warrants as an equity instrument on our consolidated financial statements, as those warrants (i) do not contain a contractual obligation of Gogoro to deliver cash or another financial assets to another entity and (ii) are consistent with a fixed-for-fixed option pricing model. The warrants were not marked-to-market as the value of the warrants were initially valuated and recorded at $1000万 in stockholders' equity and remained classified within stockholders' equity through their expiration.
(ii)Pursuant to the agreement with Castrol, Gogoro issued 16,887,328 ordinary shares, at a price of $1.4804 per share, for an aggregated price at $25,000,000, with a put option, exercisable during the next 12 months after June 30, 2025, to require Gogoro to repurchase such ordinary shares, for a portion or all, at a price per share equal to that was purchased. We recorded such financial instrument as a financial liability at the present value of the repurchase amount at $2420万 on the issuance date, which is reclassified from equity and will be subsequently measured at amortized cost by using the effective interest method.
