Oil and bioproducts company Solazyme has announced results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2013.
"2013 was a year of great progress for Solazyme as we readied our first major capacity projects, signed new commercial supply agreements, added important joint development partners, and further expanded our portfolio of Tailored oils," said Jonathan Wolfson, CEO of Solazyme. "In the first half of 2014, we are focused on successfully executing Solazyme's entry into broad commercial operations. We have begun shipping multiple products from the Clinton/Galva, Iowa facilities and are deep into commissioning in Brazil as we complete the first-of-its-kind 100,000 MT Solazyme Bunge Renewable Oils (SB Oils) facility at Moema. In these early days we are focused on generating consistent and reliable production for our partners, ahead of accelerating our production ramp later this year."
Total revenue for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013 was $11.3 million compared with $8.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter GAAP net loss was $33.3 million, which compares with net loss of $24.6 million in the prior year period. On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss was $27.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with net loss of $21.5 million in the prior year quarter.
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $39.8 million compared with $44.1 million in the prior year. Full year revenue, excluding government funded program revenue, was $39.5 million compared with $29.7 million in the prior year. Full year 2013 GAAP net loss was $116.4 million, compared with $83.1 million in the prior year. On a non-GAAP basis, the net loss was $88.6 million for 2013, compared with $70.0 million in 2012.
"Solazyme's 2013 results included 21% growth in our most commercially mature business, as our Algenist skin care line expanded its product offerings and geographic footprint. We also delivered on all of our joint development milestones for our partners," said Tyler Painter, CFO of Solazyme. "We anticipate continued growth in these revenue streams in 2014 and look forward to growing product revenues from commercial supply of our products later this year as we ramp commercial production. In the meantime, Solazyme remains in a healthy financial position as we complete our first plants and prepare to broadly scale operations."
