Ginkgo provides an update on its third quarter financial results
Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DNA, "Ginkgo") today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The update, including a webcast slide presentation with additional details on the third quarter, as well as supplemental financial information will be available at investors.ginkgobioworks.com.
Third Quarter 2025 Financial Results
- Third quarter 2025 Total revenue of $39 million compared to $89 million in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of 56%, which prior year included $45 million of non-cash revenue from a release of deferred revenue relating to the mutual termination of a customer agreement. Excluding this prior year impact, Total revenue in the third quarter of 2025 decreased 11% from the comparable prior year period.
- Third quarter 2025 Cell Engineering revenue of $29 million compared to $75 million in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of 61%, which prior year included the above noted $45 million of non-cash revenue. Excluding this prior year impact, Cell Engineering revenue in the third quarter of 2025 decreased slightly from the comparable prior year period.
- Third quarter 2025Â Biosecurity revenue of $9 million compared to $14 million in the comparable prior year period
- Third quarter 2025 GAAP net loss of $(81) million, compared to $(56) million in the comparable prior year period, primarily attributable to the above noted non-cash deferred revenue release in the prior year period
- Third quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA of $(56) million, down from $(20) million in the comparable prior year period, primarily attributable to the above noted non-cash deferred revenue release in the prior year period
- Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balance as of September 30, 2025 of $462 million
"Our recent partnership announcements are powerful examples of how Ginkgo's AI-enabled cloud lab technology can be deployed to accelerate U.S. scientific innovation," said Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks. "The recent AI Action Plan from President Trump specifically called for investment in AI-enabled cloud laboratories to keep the American bioeconomy competitive. Ginkgo's tools are designed to generate the massive, high-quality datasets that modern AI methods need, furthering the goal of the U.S. remaining at the forefront of the bioeconomy."
Recent Business Highlights & Strategic Positioning
- We believe AI models will impact biotechnology in two ways and Ginkgo is well-positioned to provide tools in both
- First, we see reasoning models controlling lab automation. Since science moves forward on the back of lab data and reasoning models are already capable of planning and analyzing experiments, we believe coupling reasoning models to automation will allow science to move as fast as human ideas.
- Second, we see AI models that predict and generate new biological discoveries. Protein models such as AlphaFold prove the potential of large AI models. These models require the type of large training sets of biological data that Ginkgo provides.
- We continue to offer research solutions on top of our in-house robotics, winning us new deals in Agriculture and with the U.S. Government
- We announced the extension of our multi-year strategic partnership with Bayer to continue advancing the research and development of biological products for agriculture. The collaboration, which began in 2017, will build on the success of developing an innovative nitrogen fixation platform, and Bayer continues to be a major partner for Ginkgo's expanded agricultural biologicals R&D platform.
- We were recently awarded a project agreement through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority's (BARDA) BioMaP-Consortium with a total contract value of up to $22.2 million to develop innovations in monoclonal antibody biomanufacturing and to produce an anti-filovirus medical countermeasure
- We are expanding our frontier autonomous lab in Boston as a showcase. Please visit!
- We'll soon have 46 major instruments on 36Â Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs). With these RACS, we can apply AI reasoning models and "lab in the loop" to your scientific challenges. Upon successful proof-of-concept, we can build and install a system so you can run it at your own site.
- We can have your workflows running on the system in a matter of weeks if we have the required equipment. Reach out for a demo!
Full Year 2025 Outlook
- Ginkgo reaffirms Total revenue of $167-$187 million in 2025
- Ginkgo continues to expect Cell Engineering revenue of $117-$137 million in 2025
- Ginkgo continues to expect Biosecurity revenue of at least $40 million in 2025

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of the financial measures included in this release, including Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP revenue, 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, and 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.
