REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Codexis, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDXS), a leading provider of enzymatic solutions for efficient and scalable therapeutics manufacturing, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided a business update.
“Codexis had a strong third quarter, in which we surpassed product revenue goals, welcomed two new, highly experienced executives to our management team, and brought in $31 million via our existing ATM facility, extending our cash runway into 2027, past the point of profitability. By out-licensing our genomics enzymes portfolio to Alphazyme, we also reinforced our ability to focus on our key strategic priorities: the growth of our Pharmaceutical Manufacturing business and our ECO Synthesis™ manufacturing platform,” said Stephen Dilly, MBBS, PhD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Codexis. “We are in a great position to close the fiscal year on a high note with three data presentations at the upcoming TIDES Europe congress, where we will showcase the real-world application of our ECO Synthesis™ platform and highlight concrete commercial interest. We also expect to announce our first technical collaboration with a major pharmaceutical partner by the end of this year. Combined with the increasing volume of inbound inquiries for our ECO Synthesis™ technology, we are well on our way to being the first company to capture significant value from the enzymatic synthesis of oligonucleotide therapeutics.”
