Amyris Reports Fourth Quarter and 2011 Year-End Financial Results

EMERYVILLE, CA (February 27, 2012) — Amyris, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRS), a leading renewable chemicals and fuels company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

“2011 was a year of accomplishment and learning. We opened three facilities on three continents to produce initial volumes of Biofene®, our renewable farnesene, and have now produced over 1.3 million liters of Biofene, which we are selling initially as squalane and diesel,” said John Melo, CEO of Amyris. “We have proven that our technology produces renewable hydrocarbons at scale and continue to meet our current customer demand for quality and performance. With the additional financing we have secured, we have a strong position to ramp our production to meet the needs of an expanding group of customers,” he added.

In a separate release today, Amyris also announced it has closed a $58.7 million private placement of its common stock at market value and issued a $25 million five-year convertible debt offering to an institutional investor.

Aggregate revenues for year ended December 31, 2011 were $147.0 million versus $80.3 million in the prior year, with cost of products sold of $155.6 million versus $70.5 million. Research and development expense increased to $87.3 million from $55.2 million and sales, general and administrative expense increased to $83.2 million from $40.4 million.

On a non-GAAP basis, excluding stock-based compensation expense and non-cash beneficial conversion feature charge booked in the third quarter of 2010, the net loss attributable to Amyris, Inc. common stockholders was $153.4 million compared to $71.4 million in the prior year. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in this release.

Aggregate revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 were $41.5 million versus $29.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, and cost of products sold was $56.4 million versus $27.5 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This release contains forward-looking statements, and any statements other than statements of historical facts could be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding future events (such as production and delivery of and customer demand for our products) that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and actual results and future events may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties, including those associated with any delays in production and commercialization of products and other risks detailed in the “Risk Factors” section of Amyris’s Form 10-K, as filed on March 14, 2011, and Form 10-Q, as filed on May 11, 2011, August 11, 2011 and November 9, 2011. Amyris disclaims any obligation to update information contained in these forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis, financial measures exclude non-cash items such as stock-based compensation. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP


financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information internally for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Amyris’s historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. In addition, Amyris believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency into the indicators used by management as a basis for its financial and operational decision making. Non-GAAP information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under U.S. GAAP when understanding Amyris’s operating performance. Reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in the financial statement tables below.
