Ginkgo Bioworks Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Ginkgo provides update on its restructuring process including an acceleration of site consolidation initiatives and continued progress on cost reductions
Ginkgo signs new and expanded deals with Novo Nordisk and achieves a major research milestone with Merck
BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 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, 2024. 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.
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
- Third quarter 2024 Total revenue of $89 million, up from $55 million in the comparable prior year period, an increase of 61% driven by $45 million of non-cash revenue from a release of deferred revenue relating to the mutual termination of a customer agreement. Excluding this impact, Total revenue in the quarter was $44 million, a decrease of 21% over the prior year period
- Excluding the $45 million non-cash deferred revenue release, third quarter 2024 Cell Engineering revenue of $30 million, down from $37 million in the comparable prior year period, a decrease of 20% driven by the continued shift from early stage customers to large/enterprise customers along with commercial changes related to the restructuring
- Third quarter 2024 Biosecurity revenue of $14 million with gross profit margin of 28%. Biosecurity revenue decreased from the comparable prior year period due to the expected ramp down of K-12 testing
- Third quarter 2024 Loss from operations of $(55) million (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense of $14 million and M&A and restructuring related costs of $2 million, net), compared to Loss from operations of $(286) million (inclusive of stock-based compensation expense of $54 million and M&A and restructuring related costs, including asset impairments, of $124 million) in the comparable prior year period. The 2024 period also benefited from the above non-cash deferred revenue release
- Third quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $(20) million, up from $(84) million in the comparable prior year period, driven by the above non-cash deferred revenue release and a decrease in operating expenses
- Cash and cash equivalents balance as of the end of the third quarter of $616 million
"I'm extremely proud of the significant progress we made in the third quarter," said Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo. "The team has been laser-focused on delivering for customers while driving down costs even further. We are achieving ambitious milestones, signing new deals with several new and existing customers while also launching our new Automation, Datapoints and AI offerings. Beyond customer successes, we will substantially consolidate our overall real estate footprint by exiting several facilities in Cambridge, MA and Europe by year end. We couldn't have done this without the support of our Board and we're very grateful to Arie for all of his service and contributions to our journey since going public, and look forward to working closely with Sri as he brings a wealth of knowledge in the automation and life science tools space as we expand increasingly into tools. It's an incredibly important time to be pursuing the mission of making biology easier to engineer and creating sustainable biosecurity infrastructure for the future. I am excited by the momentum we are gaining to meet that mission as we close out this year on a substantially reduced cost base."
Recent Business Highlights & Strategic Positioning

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.
