FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VERENIUM REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER 2010

— Company reports healthy product revenue growth and a decrease in operating expenses —

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., August 9, 2010 – Verenium Corporation (NASDAQ: VRNM), a pioneer in the development and commercialization of high-performance industrial enzyme solutions, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2010. The Company also provided a summary of recent highlights and financial guidance for 2010.

“This has been a transformational quarter for Verenium. The transaction we announced with BP around the sale of our cellulosic biofuels business firmly positions us to focus our capital and human resources on the continued development of a leading industrial biotechnology and commercial enzymes business addressing lucrative, growing markets,” said Carlos A. Riva, President and Chief Executive Officer of Verenium. “I’m pleased with the progress we’ve seen across the business over the last quarter, notably, growing product revenues and continued successful efforts to aggressively manage expenses.”

Company Highlights

Since the beginning of 2010, Verenium has made significant progress in several important areas, including:

Enzymes

 

 

Increased total product revenue by 27% for the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 and 15% compared to the first quarter or 2010;

 

 

Increased product gross margin dollars by 46% for the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009;

 

 

Increased Phyzyme revenue on both a year-over-year and sequential basis showing positive momentum versus the challenging environment of the second quarter of 2009 as a result of the impact of the recession on poultry producers;

 

 

Improved revenue mix from increasing sales of Company’s newer enzymes including Fuelzyme, Xylathin, Veretase and Purifine;

 

 

Continued to gain traction with Purifine at commercial-scale with increased interest from some of the world’s leading oilseed producers;

 

 

Advanced two pipeline product candidates into the regulatory phase; and

 

 

Promoted Janet Roemer to President and Chief Operating Officer of Verenium’s Enzymes business.

Biofuels

 

 

Announced an agreement with BP Biofuels North America to acquire Verenium’s cellulosic biofuels business, including the Company’s facilities in Jennings, LA and San Diego, CA for $98.3 million, subject to adjustment, and anticipate a successful transaction close by the end of August;

 

 

Negotiated an extension of the Galaxy joint development agreement with BP in which BP will pay Verenium an initial cash payment of approximately $1.4 million and a $5 million monthly reimbursement rate (paid in semi-monthly cash payments of $2.5 million) for the continued performance of Verenium’s obligations until the close of the cellulosic biofuels business acquisition by BP; and

 

 

Awarded an additional $4.9 million from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to fund activities at the Company’s demonstration-scale facility in Jennings, Louisiana.

Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 were $20.0 million and $33.0 million, respectively, compared to $16.3 million and $30.7 million for the same periods in the prior year, with product revenues representing more than 60 percent of total revenues in both periods. Product revenues for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 increased to $13.3 million and $24.9 million,


respectively, compared to $10.5 million and $21.1 million for same periods in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in Phyzyme profit share from Danisco, as well as an increase in revenues from Veretase and Xylathin enzymes, which continued to gain acceptance in the grain ethanol markets, and Purifine enzyme for the soybean oil processing market. Fuelzyme revenues returned to levels achieved in the first quarter of 2009, indicating recovery in the corn ethanol market.

Product gross margin dollars increased to $4.5 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2010, versus $3.0 million for the same period in the prior year, primarily due to improved fixed costs leverage on higher revenue, partially offset by unfavorable manufacturing yields and manufacturing constraints compared to the prior year, resulting from increased demand and expansion of product mix.

Excluding cost of product revenues, total operating expenses decreased $6.5 million to $20.5 million (including share-based compensation of $0.3 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from $27.0 million (including share-based compensation of $2.6 million) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and decreased from $54.0 million (including share-based compensation of $5.1 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2009, to $45.2 million (including share-based compensation of $0.8 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Excluding the impact of share-based compensation, total operating expenses decreased $4.3 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009 primarily due to a $3.0 million and $3.8 million decrease in expenses related to Vercipia Biofuels, the Company’s jointly owned special purpose entity with BP, which was included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations during 2009. Effective for 2010, the results of operations for Vercipia are excluded from the Company’s consolidated results due to the deconsolidation based upon authoritative new accounting guidance. This decrease in expenses was partially offset by increases in expenses related to the Company’s ongoing demonstration-scale facility optimization efforts.

Total operating expenses include gross expenses incurred to support ongoing development related to the Company’s Galaxy joint venture with BP, which continues to be consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. BP’s share of the total operating expenses of the joint ventures was $7.7 million and $15.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and is included below operating expenses as “Loss attributed to non-controlling interest in consolidated entities” on the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement. On a non-GAAP basis, net of BP’s share of expenses, pro forma net operating expenses decreased as compared to prior periods, reflecting the cost sharing and the Company’s expense minimization efforts.

Interest expense related almost exclusively to the cash and non-cash interest expense from the Company’s convertible debt instruments. Of total net interest expense for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively represents non-cash interest expense related to the Company’s convertible notes, compared to $1.1 million and $2.7 million in non-cash interest for the same period in 2009.

Net loss attributed to Verenium for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $4.5 million compared to a net loss of $20.0 million for the same period in 2009, on a GAAP accounting basis. Adjusted for the non-cash impact of gains on debt extinguishment and gains and losses for fair value remeasurements related to the 8% and 9% convertible notes, the Company’s non-GAAP pro-forma net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 was $3.7 million compared to $12.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The Company believes that excluding the non-cash impact of these items provides a more consistent measure of operating results.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $16.5 million compared to $15.5 million at March 31, 2010 and $32.1 million as of December 31, 2009. A significant portion of the decrease in cash and cash equivalents as compared to the end of fiscal 2009 is due to the deconsolidation of Vercipia cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.2 million, based upon authoritative accounting guidance effective on January 1, 2010.

“Verenium had an impressive second quarter with good growth in total product revenues indicating that our newer enzyme products continue to gain traction in their respective target markets,” said James E. Levine, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “We believe that following the close of the BP transaction, Verenium will have an even greater opportunity to maximize the potential of our existing commercial and development portfolio by investing strategically in areas such as manufacturing and R&D. We also expect to have a greatly improved financial position providing a significant opportunity to create value for our shareholders.”


Financial Guidance

The Company is providing the following financial guidance for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2010:

 

 

2010 product revenue: $48 to $54 million

 

 

2010 product gross margin: $16 to $18 million

The Company expects to provide guidance for its fiscal year 2011 early next year.

Consolidated Financial Statements

The historical financial information on which the pro forma financial statements are based is included in Verenium’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, which the Company intends to file on August 9, 2010. The pro forma consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with these historical consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are subject to a number of assumptions which may not be indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred had the disposition been completed at the dates indicated or what the results will be for any future periods. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations do not include the gain or loss attributed to the sale of the LC Business if the transaction was completed at the beginning of the periods presented.

 

  (a) This adjustment is recorded to remove LC Business revenue from the Company’s results from continuing operations, related to collaboration, grants and license agreements that have been assumed by BP.

 

  (b) This adjustment is recorded to remove LC Business research and development expenses from the Company’s results from continuing operations. Such expenses consist of including both direct project costs and allocated expenses related to the LC Business which are being assumed by BP, including all costs related to the San Diego, California facility leases.

 

  (c) This adjustment is recorded to remove LC Business selling, general and administrative expenses from the Company’s results from continuing operations. The pro forma expenses include non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and $2.3 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

  (d) This adjustment is recorded to remove the losses from the Company’s variable interest entities (“VIE”), Galaxy and Vercipia, that were historically attributed to BP, the other party to the VIE.

 

  (e) This adjustment is recorded to reflect net cash that the Company estimates it would have received as consideration for the sale of the LC Business if the transaction was completed on June 30, 2010. The purchase price of $98.3 million has been reduced by estimated transaction-related expenses, as well as the working capital adjustment at June 30, 2010, as required under the Asset Purchase Agreement. This adjustment also reflects the release of $10.7 million in restricted cash as of June 30, 2010 used to secure the outstanding letter of credit under the San Diego, California facility leases, as such leases are being assumed by BP.

 

  (f) These adjustments are recorded to reflect the disposition of the LC Business assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2010 included in the Company’s historical condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

  (g) This adjustment includes the gain recorded on the sale of the LC Business, assuming the transaction closed on June 30, 2010, and the amount recorded to remove the non-controlling interest in the Company’s VIE, Galaxy, which BP is acquiring in the transaction.
