Codexis Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 Results

49% Annual Increase in Pharmaceutical Product Sales;

CodeXyme Cellulase Enzymes and CodeXol Detergent Alcohol Product Lines Launched

Redwood City, CA – Codexis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDXS), a developer of industrial enzymes to enable the production of biofuels, bio-based chemicals, and pharmaceutical intermediates, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

“In 2011, we launched our CodeXyme cellulase enzymes and CodeXol detergent alcohol product lines,” said Alan Shaw, Ph.D., President and CEO of Codexis, Inc. “In 2012 we are focused on delivering world-class CodeXyme cellulase enzymes to our development partners, piloting production of CodeXol, and delivering continued sales growth in our pharmaceuticals products and services”.

Full Year 2011 Financial Highlights:

Revenue: For fiscal 2011, the company reported revenues of $123.9 million, an increase of $16.8 million or 16% over fiscal 2010 revenue of $107.1 million. Product revenue of $49.0 million increased $16.2 million or 49% over the prior year, driven by increased sales to both generic and innovator pharmaceutical customers. Collaborative R&D revenue of $71.4 million increased $1.2 million from $70.2 million over the prior year.

Operating Expenses: Research and development expenses for fiscal 2011 were $61.0 million, compared to $52.4 million for fiscal 2010. The increase was primarily due to additional headcount and amortization related to intellectual property purchased from Maxygen, Inc. Selling, general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2011 increased to $36.9 million compared to $33.8 million for fiscal 2010, driven by higher stock compensation expense and higher compensation expense due to headcount increases.

Net Loss: Net loss was ($16.6) million, or ($0.46) per share, based on 35.7 million weighted average common shares outstanding for fiscal year 2011. This compares to a net loss of ($8.5) million.

Adjusted EBITDA: On a non-GAAP basis, Adjusted EBITDA was $4.3 million for fiscal 2011 compared to $9.9 million for fiscal 2010. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net loss for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and preferred stock warrant fair market valuation. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is presented below.

Cash: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31, 2011, was $63.8 million compared to $74.1 million at December 31, 2010. The company used ($0.5) million in cash from operations in fiscal 2011.

Fourth Quarter 2011 Financial Highlights:

Revenue: For the fourth quarter of 2011, the company reported revenues of $33.5 million, an increase of $3.7 million or 12% over $29.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Product revenue increased $6.9 million or 80% over the same time period of 2010.

Operating Expenses: Research and development expenses in the fourth quarter of 2011 were $15.5 million, compared to $13.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily due to additional headcount for the development of CodeXol Detergent Alcohol. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter of 2011 increased to $9.8 million, compared to $8.6 million over the same time period of 2010, related to use of consultants, legal costs associated with intellectual property patent filing and increased costs related to SOX compliance.

Net Loss: Net loss was ($5.3) million, or ($0.15) per share, based on 36.0 million weighted average common shares outstanding in the fourth quarter of 2011. This compares to a net loss of ($0.5) million or ($0.01) per share during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA: On a non-GAAP basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 to ($0.2) million in the fourth quarter of 2011. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net loss for net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and preferred stock warrant fair market valuation. A reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is presented below.

Cash: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31, 2011 was $63.8 million compared to $70.6 million at September 30, 2011. The company used ($2.9) million in cash from operations in the fourth quarter.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information

In this press release, in addition to GAAP financial results, we present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies.

A reconciliation of GAAP net loss to Adjusted EBITDA is included in the table below.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

   

Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

 

   

Non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period.

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
