EXHIBIT 99.1
Amyris Reports 164% Product Revenue Growth over Prior Year & Continued Strong Outlook
EMERYVILLE, Calif., May 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS), the industrial bioscience company, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017.
“We are pleased with our continued execution delivering increased product sales and very healthy revenue growth for Amyris,” said John Melo, Amyris President & CEO. “We are very excited to join with Royal DSM to accelerate product sales in health and nutrition markets, deliver better performing products and accelerate market access. With their support and that of our investors we have significantly strengthened our balance sheet and the company’s foundation as a leading company in its sector.”
Continued Melo, “Our product portfolio is growing at a faster rate than we expected within nutraceuticals, skin care and fragrance ingredients. We have evolved our business to predictable quarter on quarter product sales and continue to deliver on our strategic milestones for delivery of our collaboration revenue. While our competitors struggle to deliver material revenue and predictable growth we expect to deliver around $60 million of product revenue for 2017, or more than double from 2016, and we expect total revenue to be better than our 2017 plan.”

Financial Performance
First Quarter 2017
FINANCIAL RESULTS AND NON-GAAP INFORMATION
Condensed consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis. Management believes that it is useful to supplement its GAAP financial statements with this non-GAAP information because management uses such information for its operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Amyris’s historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency into the indicators used by management as a basis for its financial and operational decision-making.
Non-GAAP financial information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under U.S. GAAP in order to understand Amyris’s operating performance. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release, including non-GAAP net loss, and other measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is provided in the tables attached to this press release.

Amyris will discuss these results and provide a business update in a conference call scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) today. Investors may access the call by dialing (866) 516-3867, participant passcode: 17598744.

(2 | ) | For the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded a non-cash gain from revaluation of its derivative liabilities, which was triggered by certain features of outstanding convertible notes (related to change in control protection and price-based anti-dilution adjustment provisions). The valuation of these derivative liabilities decreased in the first quarter of 2017 primarily as a result of a decrease in Amyris's stock price since December 31, 2016. | ||||||||
