Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO), a renewable chemicals and advanced biofuels company, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011 and updated its expectations about isobutanol commercialization progress.
“Gevo continues to move toward full scale commercialization of renewable isobutanol. The retrofit of our facility in Luverne, Minnesota is underway and we remain on schedule to start production in the first half of 2012,” said Dr. Patrick Gruber, Chief Executive Officer. “Isobutanol is a platform molecule with a wide variety of applications. The specialty applications of isobutanol in chemicals and fuels are well underway, with off-take agreements in place with Sasol and Mansfield. We are focusing more attention on larger addressable markets. We recently signed an agreement with the U.S. Air Force to supply ‘alcohol-to-jet’ based jet fuel. This jet fuel will be produced at our hydrocarbon demonstration plant located at South Hampton Resources’ site near Houston, Texas. This plant, which is nearing completion, will facilitate the development of a variety of hydrocarbon products produced from our isobutanol, including bio-jet, bio-gasoline, alkylates, bio-based diesel, para-xylene, and lubricants. We are also working with the Northwest Advanced Renewables Alliance and USDA to develop bio-jet derived from isobutanol using a cellulosic feedstock.”

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements within this press release may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements relate to a variety of matters, including but not limited to: the timing and costs associated with and the availability of capital for the Company’s scheduled retrofits of existing ethanol production facilities, its future isobutanol production capacity, the timing associated with bringing such capacity online, the expected applications of isobutanol, addressable markets, and market demand, Gevo’s ability to produce commercial quantities of isobutanol from cellulosic feedstocks, the expected cost-competitiveness and relative performance attributes of isobutanol and the products derived from it, the strength of the Company’s intellectual property position and other statements that are not purely statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are made on the basis of the current beliefs, expectations and assumptions of our management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainty. All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve many risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from what may be expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. For a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the Company in general, see the risk disclosures in Gevo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and in subsequent reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K and other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company.
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 Gevo’s historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. In addition, Gevo 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 Gevo’s operating performance. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP financial information is provided in the financial statement tables below.
