Soracom, Inc. Introduces Cloud-Native Mobile Core Platform For Mobile Network Operators and MVNOs Soracom, Inc. announced the expansion of its business with the launch of a cloud-native mobile core platform for mobile network operators (MNOs) and mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs). Soracom built its mobile core in software optimized for public cloud infrastructure from the company's founding in 2014, running core network functions including the Home Subscriber Server (HSS), Packet Gateway (PGW), User Plane Function (UPF), IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) core as cloud-native services rather than on traditional carrier hardware. Soracom makes that core, along with other platform components, available to operators that want to run their own mobile services without building and maintaining core network infrastructure of their own. The business targets MNOs, MVNOs and enterprises serving as MVNOs for their customers globally. Soracom has already proven this model in live commercial deployments through Misora Connect, Inc., a Soracom group company established with the Marubeni I-DIGIO Group that provides MVNO services in Japan. Soracom migrated Misora Connect's HSS onto Soracom's cloud-native mobile core, and that deployment serves Misora Connect's customers. For operators, running services on Soracom's mobile core can reduce the infrastructure cost of standing up and maintaining a core network and enable them to expand breakout locations globally without significant upfront cost. It also gives operators more flexibility in how they design and price service plans. In addition to expanding their core network with cloud native software components, operators can offer services and functionalities that enable enterprise customers to build secure cloud integrations and leverage cloud capabilities from their connected products and IoT devices as optional add-ons. This new MVNE business extends a pattern of Soracom enabling other companies to build connectivity businesses on its platform. Customers that want to resell Soracom connectivity and services to their own customers can do so through the multitenancy and downstream billing capabilities of the Soracom Billing Platform, which support tenant management, branded invoicing, and multi-tier reseller billing within a single account, and seamlessly integrates with Soracom Connectivity Management Platform. Where Soracom provides the mobile core to operators running their own networks, the Soracom Billing Platform's capabilities let Soracom customers package and bill connectivity to downstream customers under their own brand. Operators interested in evaluating Soracom's mobile core for their own networks can register interest with Soracom. Announcement • Jul 14

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 22% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.1% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Announcement • Jul 08
Soracom Announces Commercial Availability Of SGP.32-Compatible Iot Esims And Connectivity Hypervisor Esim Orchestration Capability Soracom announced the commercial availability of its Connectivity Hypervisor eSIM orchestration capability and SGP.32-compatible IoT eSIMs. Both are now available for purchase, moving Soracom's SGP.32-based offering from pre-order to general availability. SGP.32 is GSMA’s latest remote SIM provisioning standard for IoT. Its predecessors took two different approaches. First, SGP.02 was designed at telco initiative primarily for automotive, but preserved carrier control over provisioning, with enterprises able to manage profiles in theory but within a walled garden that kept operators firmly in the loop. Second, SGP.22 moved control closer to the device owner but assumed user interfaces that most unattended IoT devices simply do not have. SGP.32 addresses both limitations. The new technology supports headless, always-on devices while giving enterprises genuine, carrier-independent control over which profiles run on their devices and when. For products with long service lives, such as vehicles, utility meters, asset trackers, and connected medical devices, that shift from telco-controlled to owner-controlled provisioning has become a common requirement in enterprise and automotive procurement. Connectivity Hypervisor is Soracom's technology-leading eUICC orchestration capability, which allows users to add, remove, manage, and switch between multiple operator profiles, including third-party MNO profiles, on remote SIMs/eSIMs using SGP.32 eSIM IoT Manager (eIM). Connectivity Hypervisor provides an API for Remote SIM Provisioning and integrates with Soracom's automation services and framework so that the user can automate RSP based on deployment region, regulatory requirement, or application need. Built-in Soracom-profile fallback ensures that devices retain connectivity in cases where a target profile is unavailable. Because one SKU can be manufactured and shipped worldwide, customers can switch profiles in the field to meet permanent-roaming requirements as deployments cross borders. For official Soracom partner operators' profiles that are integrated with Soracom Connectivity Management Platform, it offers SIM profile life cycle management, data usage monitoring and fleet management features such as searching based on tags and groups in the same way as Soracom native profiles. At Soracom Discovery 2026, the company's annual conference, Soracom demonstrated the next release of Connectivity Hypervisor, which enables unified management of connections from multiple operators, including major MNOs, through a single control plane. This capability is fully built; broader availability to end customers is pending partner operators completing their profile integrations for resale through the Soracom platform. Soracom's SGP.32 implementation is built on standard eUICC, eIM, and SM-DP+ components. Connectivity Hypervisor and SGP.32-compatible IoT eSIMs are available for purchase now, with SIMs available in both card and chip-type form factors. Announcement • Jun 09

Soracom Opens Pre-Orders For SGP.32-Compatible Connectivity Hypervisor Soracom announced opening of pre-orders for Connectivity Hypervisor, its SGP.32-compatible capability for dynamic remote management and switching of multiple operator profiles, including third-party MNO profiles, on a single IoT eSIM. Connectivity Hypervisor positions Soracom as an orchestration layer, enabling IoT devices to activate on a Soracom profile and dynamically switch to the most appropriate local or use-case-specific carrier profile based on deployment region, regulatory requirement, or application need. The platform supports multi-profile management across Soracom and third-party MNO profiles, single-SKU global device deployment, dynamic switching for permanent roaming regulation compliance, and built-in Soracom profile fallback for uninterrupted service. Soracom's SGP.32-compatible infrastructure, including eUICC, eIM, and SM-DP+ components, has been in active testing since mid-2025. Pre-orders are now open for deployments with long device lifecycles — such as automotive, utilities, asset tracking, and healthcare — where provider changes, permanent roaming restrictions, VoLTE requirements, or carrier-specific plan limitations may arise over time or across geographies. Commercial availability is timed to MNO ecosystem readiness and standard availability. Soracom has already conducted live SGP.32 validation through an automotive field deployment, including dynamic profile provisioning using Connectivity Hypervisor infrastructure. Where most SGP.32 implementations focus on connectivity switching, Soracom's Connectivity Hypervisor is designed as a platform orchestration layer, managing profiles across operators, including profiles issued by third-party MNOs, from a single unified control plane. This approach enables IoT deployments to remain operationally independent of any single carrier, reducing logistics complexity, supporting compliance with permanent roaming regulations, and providing a migration path as regional carrier SGP.32 support expands. Soracom representatives will be available at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona for briefings on Connectivity Hypervisor and SGP.32 deployment planning.

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 47% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (47% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.6% average weekly change). Reported Earnings • Nov 15
