Ginkgo Bioworks Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Ginkgo added 21 new Cell Programs to the Foundry platform in Q3 2023
Entered into strategic cloud and AI partnership with Google Cloud; first milestone recently achieved
Signed new multi-target RNA drug discovery collaboration with Pfizer in which Ginkgo is eligible to receive research fees and development and commercial milestone payments of up to $331 million
Ginkgo ended Q3 2023 with over $1.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents, maintaining a multi-year runway as Ginkgo continues to drive towards profitability
BOSTON, Mass – November 8, 2023 – Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DNA, “Ginkgo”), which is building the leading platform for cell programming and biosecurity, today announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. The update, including a webcast slide presentation with additional details on the third quarter and supplemental financial information, will be available at investors.ginkgobioworks.com.
“We have continued to expand our customer base and partnerships this quarter,” said Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo. “We’re particularly excited about our new program with Pfizer to advance the discovery and development of novel RNA molecules. I’m also thrilled about the five-year strategic cloud and AI partnership we signed with Google Cloud to deploy and develop AI tools for biology and biosecurity. Our team is hard at work building new, state-of-the-art foundation models that speak the languages of biology, and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”
Recent Business Highlights & Strategic Positioning
•Added 21 new Cell Programs to the Foundry platform in Q3 2023, representing 40% growth over the prior year period
◦Includes a multi-target RNA drug discovery collaboration with Pfizer, in which Ginkgo is eligible to receive fees and milestones up to $331 million in addition to potential royalties on sales
•Entered a strategic five-year cloud and AI partnership with Google Cloud to pioneer new large language models for biological engineering applications
•Hosted Ginkgo’s first in-person investor day, which was also streamed live online, to highlight key business updates in Cell Engineering, Biosecurity and AI
•Ginkgo’s Cell Engineering segment generated services revenue, which does not include downstream value share revenue, of $36 million, a 52% increase versus the third quarter of 2022
•Ginkgo’s Biosecurity segment generated $18 million of revenue in the third quarter as Biosecurity revenue shifted away from COVID-19 testing programs in schools and communities towards a more recurring model focused on long-term biosecurity infrastructure
◦Concentric continues to expand its global bioradar network, with partnerships in 14 countries and 9 operational airport programs
◦Concentric is maturing its bioradar offering by expanding its partnership with CDC on air travel-based pathogen monitoring to more than 30 additional priority pathogens and launching new efforts in zoonotic disease monitoring, in the U.S. and internationally
◦Concentric is building a suite of next-generation biological intelligence capabilities, including AI-based epidemic forecasting
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights
•Third quarter 2023 Total revenue of $55 million, down from $66 million in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of 17% primarily driven by the expected ramp down of K-12 testing in Ginkgo’s Biosecurity segment
•Third quarter 2023 Cell Engineering revenue of $37 million, up from $25 million in the comparable prior year period, an increase of 51%
•Third quarter 2023 Biosecurity revenue of $18 million with gross profit margin of 62%
•Third quarter 2023 Loss from operations of $(286) million (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense of $54 million and a non-cash impairment charge of $96 million relating to the exit of a Zymergen lease facility), compared to Loss from operations of $(655) million in the comparable prior year period (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense of $563 million). About half of the stock-based compensation expense relates to the continued GAAP accounting for the modification of restricted stock units issued prior to Ginkgo becoming a public company, as disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 13, 2023, and which we expect will continue to ramp down significantly in the coming quarters
•Third quarter 2023 Adjusted EBITDA of $(84) million, down from $(72) million in the comparable prior year period driven by both the higher run-rate of expenses in Cell Engineering and the as-expected decline in Biosecurity revenue
•Cash and cash equivalents balance as of the end of the third quarter of over $1.0 billion puts Ginkgo in a strong financial position to pursue its strategic objectives
Full Year 2023 Outlook
•While Ginkgo continues to see strong growth in its business development pipeline, based on third quarter results and pacing of new opportunities, Ginkgo revised its new Cell Programs target to a range of 80 - 85 new Cell Programs added to the platform in 2023. In addition, Ginkgo signed several technology licensing evaluation agreements in the third quarter, which do not involve Foundry service work and therefore, are not included in our Cell Program count, though they represent a new source of potential future revenue
•Ginkgo is expecting Total revenue of $250 - $260 million in 2023
◦Ginkgo revised its expectations for Cell Engineering revenue to $145 - $150 million in 2023, inclusive of $4 million of downstream value share revenue recognized year-to-date
◦Based on solid third quarter results, Ginkgo revised its expectations for Biosecurity revenue to up to $110 million in 2023

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, 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.
