Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
KORE partnered with eSIM specialist Kigen to introduce a new portfolio of SGP.32-compliant connectivity solutions. Built on the GSMA's next-generation eSIM standard, this solution enables remote provisioning, carrier switching, and multi-network resilience without requiring physical SIM swaps or technician visits.
Expected impact: Eliminates costly 'truck rolls' for enterprise customers, allowing them to remotely provision, switch, and optimize cellular IoT connectivity across global device fleets.
A strategic shift focusing on profitable growth over 'growth at any price.' This includes the intentional exit from low-margin, unprofitable contracts and product lines, and transitioning key operational metrics from Total Contract Value (TCV) to Estimated Annual Recurring Revenue (EARR) to improve revenue transparency.
Expected impact: Drove significant margin expansion, with overall gross margin picking up to 37.8% and Adjusted EBITDA margin ticking up to 21.2% in Q3 2025, alongside a return to positive free cash flow.
