-- PHA-Based Product Revenue Grows 58% vs. Prior Year --
-- Bid Awards Issued to Danimer Converter Partners for Nodax-Based Cutlery Require Approximately 20 million pounds of resin annually --
-- Reduced Guidance Reflects Changes in Customer Launches and Timing of First Shipments --
Danimer Scientific, Inc. (NYSE: DNMR) (“Danimer” or the “Company”), a leading next-generation bioplastics company focused on the development and production of highly engineered biodegradable materials, today announced financial results for its third quarter, ended September 30, 2023.
Stephen E. Croskrey, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Danimer, commented, “We are excited to announce that new business awards associated with a large Quick Service Restaurant program for Nodax-based biodegradable cutlery have been issued to several of our converter partners. Total demand for our product is expected to be approximately 20 million pounds per year at full run-rate, with first shipments expected to begin in the second half of next year. With these cutlery awards, we've now opened another significant product category for our PHA-based resins, which further validates our product in the marketplace and will continue to drive volume across our manufacturing assets.”
Mr. Croskrey continued, “While our sales expectations for the second half of 2023 were adversely impacted by timing delays among several anticipated commercial programs, we believe our work with our commercial partners on these programs is nearly complete and look forward to products launching throughout 2024. We’re pleased to be working with several major brands and share in their commitment to ensuring that each launch transitioning products and packaging from traditional petroleum-based plastics to a more sustainable material is both seamless and an unqualified success. While the time and resources to complete these final steps are proving to be more extensive than we had previously anticipated, particularly with respect to certain novel end-use applications, we are more confident than ever that these launches will enable enduring success. Our materials enable brands to differentiate competitively, extend their environmental leadership roles, and enhance their reputations for sustainability.”
Mr. Croskrey concluded, “Each product launch is generating strong interest from and opportunity to engage with new commercial partners seeking long-term solutions to plastic waste across multiple product categories and industries. While we are disappointed our near-term financial expectations were not met, we view this as a temporary delay and retain our conviction that we are on the right path toward filling our existing capacity and continuing to make progress on our planned footprint expansion strategy.”
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights:
Capital Structure
At September 30, 2023, the Company reported a total debt balance of $379.9 million, including approximately $45.7 million dollars of low-interest New Markets Tax Credit loans that the Company expects will be forgiven between 2026 and 2029. At September 30, 2023, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, which is primarily held to satisfy future interest payments, totaled $91.9 million.
Outlook
The Company’s previous full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance range was based on expected strong second half revenue growth through new customer product launches and associated first shipments that did not materialize as planned. Accordingly, the Company has modified its full-year 2023 adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $(40) million to $(37) million and will look forward to finalizing a number of expected product launches in 2024. Separately, the Company now anticipates full-year capital expenditures in the range of $27 million to $29 million, which is a revision toward the more favorable end of its wider previous range.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted gross profit” and "Adjusted gross margin". Danimer management views these metrics as a useful way to look at the performance of its operations between periods and to exclude decisions on capital investment and financing that might otherwise impact the review of profitability of the business based on present market conditions.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss plus net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges or gains that Danimer may record each period such as remeasurement of private warrants, stock-based compensation expense, as well as non-recurring charges such as (i) asset disposal gains or losses as well as other significant gains or losses such as debt extinguishments and impairment of goodwill; (ii) legal settlements; or (iii) other discrete non-recurring items. Danimer believes these items are not considered an indicator of ongoing performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. The measure is used as a supplement to GAAP results in evaluating certain aspects of Danimer’s business, as described below.
Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit plus depreciation, stock-based compensation and nonrecurring items.
Adjusted gross margin is defined as adjusted gross profit divided by total revenue.
Danimer believes that each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s performance because each measure considers the performance of the Company’s operations, excluding decisions made with respect to capital investment, financing and other non-recurring charges as outlined in the preceding paragraph. Danimer believes these non-GAAP metrics offer additional financial information that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of its results of operations and the factors and trends affecting its business.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss as an indicator of its performance or as alternatives to any other measure prescribed by GAAP as there are limitations to using such non-GAAP measures. Although Danimer believes that Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin may enhance an evaluation of its operating performance based on recent revenue generation and product/overhead cost control because it excludes the impact of prior decisions made about capital investment, financing and other expenses, (i) other companies in Danimer’s industry may define Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin differently than Danimer does and, as a result, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in its industry, and (ii) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin exclude certain financial information that some may consider important in evaluating Danimer’s performance.
Danimer compensates for these limitations by providing disclosure of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted gross profit and Adjusted gross margin and GAAP results, including providing a reconciliation to GAAP results, to enable investors to perform their own analysis of Danimer’s operating results. Because GAAP financial measures on a forward-looking basis are not accessible, and reconciling information is not available without unreasonable effort, reconciliations to GAAP financial measures are not provided for forward-looking non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
