Amyris Provides Business Update
Will Report Record Revenue in Both Collaborations and Product Sales for 2016; Near-Term Debt Maturities Have Been Resolved; Completed Strategic Transition Out of Commodity Products
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Feb. 03, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS), the industrial bioscience company, today provided an update on certain aspects of its business and financial results for 2016.
"We are pleased to have achieved a record year of revenue growth, and of having completed all of the 2016 strategic milestones we set out to, and we continue to make good progress on our debt structure by having resolved our near-term debt maturity issues in pushing out approximately $44 million in debt as announced just before year end," said John Melo, Amyris President & CEO. "Also, we are meeting our expectations in securing collaborations that will result in future product sales and this is accelerating our growth rate."
Continued Melo, "As one of the fastest growing companies in our sector we are now transitioned away from commodity-related product sales, which in 2016 comprised less than one percent of total revenue. During the year, our business was driven by robust product sales growth within the health and nutrition, fragrance and cosmetics ingredients and performance materials markets. This transformation along with growing recognition of our capabilities to disrupt large global markets has led to commercial momentum and more inbound business development inquiries than ever before, which will support another year of record revenue in 2017."
Amyris will provide more color on its financial results for 2016 and the positive momentum in its business when it reports financial results after the close of market on Thursday, March 2, 2017. In addition, the company plans to host an investor day in May 2017 showcasing its technology platform and commercial developments fueling growth in its business.
