BOSTON , Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DNA) ("Ginkgo"), the leading horizontal platform for cell programming, today announced its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 . The update, including a webcast slide presentation with additional details on the second quarter and supplemental financial information, will be available at investors.ginkgobioworks.com .

"We delivered a strong quarter across both our cell programming and biosecurity businesses," said Jason Kelly , co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo. "We added 13 new Cell Programs and more than doubled our second-quarter Foundry revenue year-over-year. We executed well on our biosecurity business through the remainder of the school year and are seeing traction across this business with longer-term, diversified biosecurity opportunities, including being awarded a new contract from the CDC to continue our pathogen monitoring work in airports. We are excited about our recently announced transactions with Zymergen and Bayer, which we expect to significantly improve our platform and drive future value. Our strong cash balance of approximately $1.4 billion affords us the ability to play offense when compelling opportunities arise, while we remain focused on our cash runway and can consider multiple levers as we drive towards profitability."

Recent Business Highlights & Strategic Positioning

  • Generated Foundry revenue of $44 million in Q2 2022, representing 105% growth over the comparable prior year period, including a previously announced equity milestone from the successful completion of the third productivity target in our collaboration with Cronos Group Inc.
  • Added 13 new Cell Programs to the Foundry platform in Q2 2022, representing 86% growth over the comparable prior year period
  • Concentric by Ginkgo, Ginkgo's biosecurity and public health offering, had another strong quarter, producing $100 million in revenue in Q2 2022
    • Concentric was recently awarded the contract to continue CDC's traveler-based SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance program, which we expect will expand inbound pathogen monitoring at ports of entry, building on our partnership over the last year with XpresCheck
  • On July 24, 2022 , Ginkgo entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Zymergen in an all-stock transaction
    • The merger is expected to improve the capacity, capabilities, and efficiency of Ginkgo's platform for its diverse customer base and enable new growth opportunities across many end markets
    • The transaction is expected to close by Q1 2023, subject to approval by Zymergen's stockholders, receipt of regulatory approvals, and satisfaction or waiver of other closing conditions
  • Also on July 24, 2022 , Ginkgo entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Bayer's West Sacramento agricultural biologicals R&D facility
    • As part of the transaction, Bayer will be entering into a multi-year partnership with Ginkgo, representing Ginkgo's largest ever cell programming contract (in terms of R&D service fees) and with the potential to earn downstream value in the form of royalties on net sales from products developed under the partnership
    • The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2022, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions
  • Added Dr. Kathy Hopinkah Hannan to the Ginkgo Board of Directors
    • Dr. Hannan brings over thirty years of experience as a senior C-Suite executive, corporate advisor, independent board director and strategist leading significant operations and high priority initiatives

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

  • Second quarter 2022 Total revenue of $145 million , up from $44 million in the comparable prior year period, an increase of 231%
  • Second quarter 2022 Foundry revenue of $44 million , up from $22 million in the comparable prior year period, an increase of 105%. Second quarter 2022 Foundry revenue included downstream value share revenue related to the equity milestone achievement by Cronos Group Inc.
  • Second quarter 2022 Biosecurity revenue of $100 million with a gross profit margin of 36%
  • Second quarter 2022 Loss from operations of $(647) million (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense of $607 million ), compared to Loss from operations of $(60) million in the comparable prior year period. The stock-based compensation expense primarily relates to the continued GAAP accounting for the modification of restricted stock units issued prior to becoming a public company, as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2022
  • Second quarter 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of $(23) million , improved from $(38) million in the comparable prior year period
  • Cash and cash equivalents balance as of the end of the second quarter of approximately $1.4 billion puts Ginkgo in a strong financial position to pursue its strategic objectives

Full Year 2022 Guidance

  • Ginkgo continues to expect to add 60 new Cell Programs to the Foundry platform in 2022
  • Ginkgo further revised its expectation for Total revenue from $375 $390 million to $425 –$440 million in 2022
  • Ginkgo continues to expect Foundry revenue of $165 $180 million in 2022
  • While Biosecurity remains an uncertain business, based on strong year-to-date performance Ginkgo now expects Biosecurity revenue in 2022 of at least $260 million

This press release, the presentation, and the conference call and webcast contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding our plans, strategies, current expectations, operations and anticipated results of operations, both business and financial, all of which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, market trends, or industry results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "can," "project," "potential," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) the effect of Ginkgo's business combination with Soaring Eagle Acquisition Corp. ("Soaring Eagle") on Ginkgo's business relationships, performance, and business generally, (ii) risks that the business combination disrupts current plans of Ginkgo and potential difficulties in Ginkgo's employee retention, (iii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Ginkgo related to its business combination with Soaring Eagle, (iv) volatility in the price of Ginkgo's securities now that it is a public company due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Ginkgo operates and plans to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Ginkgo's business, changes in the combined capital structure and expectations associated with increases in the number of shares available for sale, (v) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the business combination, and ability to identify and realize additional opportunities, (vi) the risk of downturns in demand for products using synthetic biology, (vii) the unpredictability of the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the demand for COVID-19 testing and the commercial viability of our COVID-19 testing business, (viii) changes to the biosecurity industry, including due to advancements in technology, emerging competition and evolution in industry demands, standards and regulations, and (ix) our ability to close and realize the expected benefits of pending merger and acquisition transactions. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of Ginkgo's most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and other documents filed by Ginkgo from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Ginkgo assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of the financial measures included in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA, have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and constitute "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined by the SEC.  Ginkgo has included these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they provide an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating Ginkgo's financial performance and prospects. Due to the nature and/or size of the items being excluded, such items do not reflect future gains, losses, expenses or benefits and are not indicative of our future operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental to, should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from non-GAAP financial measures with comparable names used by other companies. See the reconciliation below for additional information regarding certain of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this release, including a description of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of the historic measures to Ginkgo's most comparable GAAP financial measures.
