EMERYVILLE, Calif., July 31, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS), a leading renewable chemicals and fuels company, today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
"During the second quarter, we executed on our focused strategy. We deliberately narrowed our contract manufacturing operations, and we have reduced our operating costs while continuing to make progress on our technology and commercialization activities," said John Melo, CEO of Amyris. "Amyris's industrial-scale farnesene production facility at Paraiso remains on target, with initial commissioning underway," Melo added.
Earlier today, Amyris announced the signing of an amendment to its collaboration agreement with Total. Under the enhanced collaboration, Total reaffirmed its commitment to Amyris's technology and dedicated its $82 million funding budget over the next three years exclusively for the deployment of Biofene, Amyris's renewable farnesene, for production of renewable diesel and jet fuel.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
Aggregate revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were $19.3 million versus $32.0 million in the second quarter of 2011. The decline in revenue was due to the planned wind-down of Amyris Fuels, the Company's ethanol and gasoline trading business. Cost of products sold also declined for the quarter, due principally to the aforementioned wind-down of Amyris Fuels, partially offset by increased costs associated with the production of Amyris renewable products.
Total research and development and sales, general and administrative expenses declined 11% to $40.7 million for the quarter.
GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter was $46.8 million ($0.81 per share) compared to a loss of $42.6 million ($0.95 per share) in the same quarter of 2011. On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss attributable to common stockholders was $37.9 million ($0.66 per share) compared to $34.7 million ($0.78 per share) in the prior year. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is included in this release.
The Company's balance of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at the end of the second quarter was $67.1 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 growth and commercialization) 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 February 28, 2012. 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.
