FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AMYRIS, INC. REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS • Core revenue of $56.1 million exceeded Q1 guidance of $49.9 million • Cash operating expense down 4% compared to Q1 2022 and down 24% versus Q4 2022 • Completed strategic partnership with Givaudan on April 3 for $200 million upfront cash Emeryville, Calif. – May 9, 2023 – Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMRS), a leading synthetic biotechnology company accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable consumption through its Lab-to-MarketTM technology platform and clean beauty consumer brands, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. Q1 2023 Core revenue of $56.1 million decreased 3% compared to Q1 2022 and exceeded guidance by 12%. Consumer revenue of $34.2 million decreased 1% compared to Q1 2022, as the company focused on liquidity and cost efficiencies to seek to maximize returns on marketing expense. Technology Access revenue of $21.9 million was down 5% compared to Q1 2022. R&D collaboration revenue increased 3% compared to Q1 2022 with the addition of new contract research programs. Gross profit of $11.6 million (21% of revenue) increased $1.0 million (2 percentage points) versus Q1 2022 and improved $17.8 million (29 percentage points) sequentially versus Q4 2022 due to lower freight expenses as well as a favorable mix of higher margin revenue. Cash operating expense of $112.8 million improved 4% compared to Q1 2022 and improved 24% sequentially compared to Q4 2022. Principal drivers for the improvement were reduced consumer brand selling expense and lower freight costs. The company continues to execute its strategic agenda with a keen focus on cost efficiency, capital structure, and liquidity. The company is in the process of a strategic review of all aspects of its cost structure in support of the company’s Fit-to-Win initiatives, with the objective to accelerate cost and efficiency improvements. Use of cash for operating and investing activities decreased sequentially for each of the past five quarters beginning with $199.7 million in Q1 2022 through $94.8 million in Q1 2023 as the result of a focused effort on cost containment and the need to navigate liquidity constraints. The company expanded its Technology Access partnerships by closing the strategic transaction with Givaudan for the worldwide licensing of certain cosmetic ingredients, the highest per molecule transaction completed in the company’s history. The transaction yielded up to $350 million, with $200 million of upfront cash received and used for general corporate purposes as well as to fund the $49 million purchase of Aprinnova joint venture interests, which enabled the Givaudan transaction. During the first quarter and as part of consumer portfolio prioritization, the company exited the EcoFabulousTM brand and reorganized the Beauty Labs business. “During Q1, we were very focused on our liquidity and cost control efforts,” commented John Melo, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We expanded the Fit-to-Win scope to all aspects of our operations and entered into a strategic review of our cost structure and liquidity plans to continue to support growth across the portfolio and achieve profitability. We have much more to do on our Fit-to-Win agenda. To fully leverage our assets and drive enterprise value, we are focused on efficiency, lowering costs, and simplifying our portfolio.”


 
Income Statement 1 Core revenue comprises Consumer and Technology Access revenue. Technology Access includes ingredient product revenue, R&D collaboration, and technology licenses. Core revenue excludes strategic transactions. Totals may not foot due to rounding. Q1 2023 Financial Highlights • Core revenue of $56.1 million decreased 3% compared to Q1 2022. Core revenue included Consumer revenue of $34.2 million, which decreased 1% relative to Q1 2022, and Technology Access revenue of $21.9 million, which decreased 5% compared to Q1 2022. • Q1 Consumer revenue decline was driven by lower Biossance® revenue due to lower marketing and media spend, offset in part by the launch of our 4U by TiaTM brand at Walmart as well as increased MenoLabs® direct-to-consumer revenue. In Q1 2023, direct-to-consumer sales represented 48% of total consumer revenue, compared to 53% in Q4 2022. Biossance®, Pipette®, JVN, and Rose Inc.® products were available in more than 15,750 physical locations compared to approximately 3,000 in Q1 2022. • Q1 Technology Access revenue included Ingredients product revenue of $8.9 million, which decreased 18% compared to Q1 2022, reflecting continuing supply and working capital constraints as the business transitioned from higher cost toll manufacturing to lower cost internal sourcing from the new fermentation plant in Brazil. R&D collaboration revenue of $3.6 million improved relative to the prior year with growth driven by several new contract research programs. Technology license revenue from earn-outs totaled $9.5 million. • Non-GAAP gross profit of $11.6 million in Q1 2023 was 21% of revenue. Non-GAAP gross profit improved from $10.6 million or 18% of revenue in Q1 2022, reflecting lower freight expenses as well as a favorable mix of higher margin revenue. • Non-GAAP cash operating expense of $112.8 million was 4% lower than Q1 2022 and 24% lower than Q4 2022, primarily due to lower marketing and media spend as a result of cost focus and working capital constraints. • Adjusted EBITDA of ($101.2) million represented a $5.3 million improvement over Q1 2022 and a $53.3 million sequential improvement over Q4 2022 due to lower operating expenses, including lower marketing and media spend. • Q1 2023 net loss was $193.3 million ($0.53 loss per diluted share) compared to a net loss of $107.3 million ($0.37 loss per diluted share) in Q1 2022. This included a favorable non-cash change in fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration of $28.5 million ($0.08 per diluted share) and non-cash asset impairments totaling $95.4 million ($0.26 per diluted share) related to exiting the EcoFabulous brand and reorganizing the Beauty Labs business. In addition, non-cash mark-to-market adjustments related to changes in the fair value of debt and derivatives were $3.6 million unfavorable in Q1 2023 ($0.01 per diluted share) and $22.6 million favorable in Q1 2022 ($0.07 per diluted share). • Total cash at the end of Q1 2023 was $17.5 million compared to $70.6 million at the end of Q4 2022.
