Latest News by Industry
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMRS), a leading synthetic biotechnology company accelerating the world's transition to sustainable consumption through its Lab-to-Market™ technology platform and clean beauty consumer brands, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
"Q3 2022 core revenue of $71.1 million grew 49% versus Q3 2021 driven by record consumer revenue of $46.6 million, a 98% year-over-year increase for the quarter and 107% consumer revenue growth year-to-date. Amyris outperformed key players in the beauty space according to the NielsenIQ 12 weeks trailing year-over-year growth rate of 7%," commented John Melo, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our ingredient business continued to sell out all production and entered the fourth quarter with an order backlog."
Industry-wide prestige and luxury consumers continued to show resilience in the face of a slowing global economy as did key beauty categories such as clean beauty where Amyris has leading consumer brands. Amyris entered the emerging menopausal category through its MenoLabs™ acquisition and recent launch of Stripes™. The company's omnichannel strategy continues to deliver strong growth with direct-to-consumer ecommerce representing 45% of Q3 consumer revenue. Consumer products were in nearly 14,000 stores compared to 2,100 in the year ago quarter, and Amyris continued its international expansion, particularly into the U.K. and European markets.
"We have built the leading Lab-to-Market™ technology platform for synthetic biology and bio-manufacturing. After an extended period of rapid organic growth and acquisition activity, we are increasingly focused on brand integration, cash conversion efficiency, and cost optimization to achieve our profitability goals," commented Mr. Melo. "To reach these goals, we completed previously announced fundraising of $80 million in Q3 and $100 million in Q4. Additionally, we are on track to complete a substantial strategic transaction by year end."
During the third quarter, Amyris embarked on companywide "Fit to Win" initiatives intended to reduce the use of cash and improve the company's cost structure. These resulted in approximately $10 million in earnings improvement in Q3. The benefits of these initiatives are accelerating in the fourth quarter and are expected to have a favorable annualized impact of $150 million in 2023.
"We have the scale, growth rate and business model that enables us to evolve our focus to operating profitability. Our current growth momentum has continued into the fourth quarter, and we are tracking toward our first quarter of more than $100 million in core revenue while controlling our costs and improving our use of cash," concluded Melo.
