EMERYVILLE, Calif., March 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS), the industrial bioscience company, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
"The fourth quarter resulted in our best renewable product sales quarter to date during 2015 while also highlighting our challenge in completing our product finishing and shipping in time for one of our customers," said John Melo, Amyris President & CEO.
Continued Melo, "We expect to complete a significant portion of the delayed product shipment during the current quarter with the remainder later in the year and continue to make very good progress in the expansion of our collaboration portfolio. We entered 2016 with key commitments in place for farnesene applications, which represent a substantial percentage of our total planned annual farnesene production volume for 2016. The volumes we expect under these farnesene supply agreements represent initial supplies for high-volume applications, and alone, could fully utilize our Brotas plant through the end of 2016."
Concluded Melo, "We are focusing on our core business, which is driven by solving supply challenges, delivering innovative products and providing our partners with a strategic advantage underpinned by high-performance, sustainable products. We expect our key results for 2016 to include divestment of non-core assets that we believe will generate approximately $40 million to $60 million of net proceeds, closing new collaborations in personal care and pharmaceutical industries and delivering on our farnesene supply agreements."

FINANCIAL RESULTS AND NON-GAAP INFORMATION
Condensed consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information 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. Management 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.
Adjusted net income (loss) is calculated using GAAP net income (loss) excluding loss on purchase commitments and impairment of property, plant, and equipment, impairment of intangible assets, stock-based compensation, gains and losses from changes in fair value of derivatives and losses on debt extinguishment, withholding tax related to conversion of related-party notes, and acceleration of debt discount accretion.
Non-GAAP revenue represents GAAP product revenue plus the cash received from collaborations and grants. Non-GAAP revenue is calculated using GAAP revenues and adding the related changes in accounts receivable and deferred liabilities related to revenue recognized for these collaborations and grants to equal funds received during the period, along with any funding associated with collaborations.
Non-GAAP financial 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 in order to understand Amyris's operating performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release, including non-GAAP net income (loss), non-GAAP revenue, and other measures, is provided in the tables attached to this press release.
