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

Soracom Showcase Next-Generation Connected Car Demonstration with AECC at Mobile World Congress 2025 Soracom, Inc. announced its participation in the AECC (Automotive Edge Computing Consortium) showcase within the "Demonstration Area" of the GSMA Open Gateway at Mobile World Congress 2025 (MWC 2025), which will be held from March 3-6, 2025. AECC is an industry-wide consortium that defines new network requirements for connected car data communication and promotes technological innovations necessary for next-generation mobility. At MWC 2025, AECC will showcase four automotive use cases at the GSMA Open Gateway demonstration, including a proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstration on next-generation network architecture for connected vehicles, jointly developed by Soracom and Toyota Motor Corporation. AECC's exhibition at MWC 2025 and the "Statement of Requirements" defining the network functions required for future connected mobility, were announced on February 26, 2025. In this announcement, AECC President and Chair Dr. Ryokichi Onishi highlighted the need for scalable, interoperable, and programmable 5G services to meet increasing data demands across priority use cases such as intelligent driving, high-definition mapping and teleoperation. Automotive OEMs face the critical challenge of ensuring a secure connection between vehicles and their backend telematics systems. At MWC 2025, the showcased solution ensures a seamless experience by leveraging network capabilities exposed by interoperable telecommunications APIs like those facilitated by AECC in its contribution to the Linux Foundation's CAMARA project. Connection security is preserved by using the Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card (eUICC) as an authentication token. This PoC demonstrates that vehicles in operation can stay connected with multiple connectivity options available at each occasion and work for the lifetime of a car even if the communication technology changes over time. This innovative solution ensures automotive manufacturers can maintain uninterrupted connectivity, enabling future-proof, secure telematics services for their customers. New Risk • Feb 17
New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 7.4% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. It may also indicate the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Jan 23
Soracom, Inc. Announces Commercial Availability of iSIM Technologies and Modules Soracom Inc. announced the commercial launch of its integrated SIM technology (iSIM) as well as an iSIM-compatible cellular module built off of the Murata Type 1SC. This offering marks Soracom's third SIM format, with the connectivity solution also offering card-type SIMs as well as chip-type eSIMs, each of which grants users access to Soracom's best-in-class cellular IoT connectivity platform. The commercial launch of iSIM technologies has been in the works since July 2021 and has been brought about due to key partnerships with IoT chipset developer Sony Semiconductor Israel Ltd., iSIM module manufacturer Murata, and iSIM Security solutions provider Kigen.
