Amyris Q3 Loss Widens on Items; But Renewable Product Sales Surge

Amyris Inc.’s third-quarter loss including charges such as debt extinguishment widened, although total revenue rose to $16.3 million from $7 million due to strong renewable product sales. Renewable product sales during first three quarters of 2014 increased by 66% over same period a year ago.

Key operating and development highlights since the end of the second quarter include the following: 

• Completed first successful fragrance oil production campaign at Brotas biorefinery and shipped product for the company's partner, Firmenich.

• Introduced new farnesene strain at Brotas, which has resulted in record low production costs and predictable performance of Amyris' manufacturing process.
