NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

As a leading synthetic biotechnology company active in the Clean Health and Beauty markets through our consumer brands and a top supplier of sustainable and natural ingredients, Amyris, Inc. and our subsidiaries (collectively, Amyris or the Company) apply the Company's proprietary Lab-to-Market biotechnology platform to engineer, manufacture and market high performance, natural and sustainably sourced products. The Company does so with the use of computational tools, strain construction tools, screening and analytics tools, and advanced lab automation and data integration. The Company's biotechnology platform enables the Company to rapidly engineer microbes and use them as catalysts to metabolize renewable, plant-sourced sugars into high-value ingredients that the Company manufactures at industrial scale. Through the combination of our biotechnology platform and our industrial fermentation process, the Company has successfully developed, produced and commercialized many distinct molecules.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Amyris, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the 2020 Form 10-K), from which the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 is derived. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Significant Accounting Policies

Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", to the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2020 Form 10-K includes a discussion of the significant accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. There have been no material changes to the Company's significant accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Use of Estimates and Judgements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates and judgements used in these consolidated financial statements are discussed in the relevant


10



accounting policies below or specifically discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements where such transactions are disclosed.

Accounting Standards or Updates Recently Adopted

In the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company adopted these accounting standards or updates:

Accounting for Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify U.S. GAAP for other areas of ASC Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Equity Securities, Equity-method Investments and Certain Derivatives In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)-Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The guidance provides clarification of the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. ASU 2020-01 became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Adopted

Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity's portfolio. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Convertible Debt, and Derivatives and Hedging In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to improve financial reporting associated with accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the amended guidance and the impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Leases

Operating Leases

The Company has operating leases primarily for administrative offices, laboratory equipment and other facilities. The operating leases have remaining terms that range from 1 to 5 years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from 1 to 5 years and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. The operating leases are classified as ROU assets under operating leases on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make operating lease payments is included in "Lease liabilities" and "Lease liabilities, net of current portion" on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company had $9.3 million and $10.1 million of right-of-use assets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Operating lease liabilities were $13.7 million and $15.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. During the three


12



ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company recorded $1.8 million and $1.5 million of operating lease amortization that was charged to expense, of which $0.2 million and $0.3 million was recorded to cost of products sold.

Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate and marketing which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.

Information related to the Company's right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities were as follows:
Three Months Ended March 31,

Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease obligations, in thousands $— $—
Weighted-average remaining lease term 2.7 3.2
Weighted-average discount rate 18.0% 18.0%

Financing Leases

The Company has financing leases primarily for laboratory and computer equipment. Assets purchased under financing leases are included in "Right-of-use assets under financing leases, net" on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For financing leases, the associated assets are depreciated or amortized over the shorter of the relevant useful life of each asset or the lease term. Accumulated amortization of assets under financing leases totaled $5.3 million and $4.6 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

3. Fair Value Measurement

Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables summarize liabilities measured at fair value, and the respective fair value by input classification level within the fair value hierarchy:

Total liabilities measured and recorded at fair value $ —  $ —  $ 465,580  $ 465,580  $ —  $ —  $ 185,249  $ 185,249 

The Company did not hold any financial assets to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Also, there were no transfers between the levels during the three months ended March 31, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgements and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The method of determining the fair value of embedded derivative liabilities is described subsequently in this note. Market risk associated with embedded derivative liabilities relates to the potential reduction in fair value and negative impact to future earnings from a decrease in interest rates.

Changes in fair value of derivative liabilities are presented as gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the line captioned "Gain (loss) from change in fair value of derivative instruments".

Changes in the fair value of debt that is accounted for at fair value are presented as gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the line captioned "Gain (loss) from change in fair value of debt".

Fair Value of Debt — Foris Convertible Note

At March 31, 2021, the contractual outstanding principal of the Foris Convertible Note was $50.0 million, and fair value was $379.4 million. The Company remeasured the fair value of the Foris Convertible Note under a binomial lattice model (which is discussed in further detail below) using the following inputs: (i) $19.10 stock price, (ii) 10% discount yield, (iii) 0.09% risk free interest rate (iv) 45% equity volatility and (v) 5% probability of change in control. The Company assumed that if a change of control event were to occur, it would occur at the end of the calendar year. The Company recorded a loss of $256.3 million related to change in fair value of the Foris Convertible Note for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The most sensitive input to the valuation model is the Company’s stock price in relation to the $3.00 conversion price.

Fair Value of Debt — Senior Convertible Notes

At March 31, 2021, the contractual outstanding principal of the Senior Convertible Notes was $10.0 million, and fair value was $54.8 million. The Company measured the fair value at March 31, 2021 under a binomial lattice model (which is discussed in further detail below) using the following inputs: (i) $19.10 stock price, (ii) 210% discount yield, (iii) 0.02% risk free interest rate (iv) 45% equity volatility, and (v) 0% probability of change in control. The most sensitive input to the valuation model is the Company’s stock price in relation to the $3.50 conversion price.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $70.5 million loss from change in fair value of debt in connection with fair value remeasurement of the Senior Convertible Notes, as follows:

Fair value at December 31, 2020 $ 53,387

Less: principal converted into common stock (20,000)
Less: fair value adjustment extinguished upon conversion of debt principal (49,140)
Fair value at March 31, 2021 $ 54,757 

Binomial Lattice Model

A binomial lattice model was used to determine whether the Foris Convertible Note and the Senior Convertible Notes (Debt Instruments) would be converted, called or held at each decision point. Within the lattice model, the following assumptions are made: (i) the convertible note will be converted early if the conversion value is greater than the holding value and (ii) the convertible note will be called if the holding value is greater than both (a) redemption price and (b) the conversion value at the time. If the convertible note is called, the holder will maximize their value by finding the optimal decision between (1) redeeming at the redemption price and (2) converting the convertible note. Using this lattice method, the Company valued the Debt Instruments using the "with-and-without method", where the fair value of the Debt Instruments including the embedded and freestanding features is defined as the "with," and the fair value of the Debt Instruments excluding the embedded and freestanding features is defined as the "without." This method estimates the fair value of the Debt Instruments by looking at the difference in the values of the Debt Instruments with the embedded and freestanding derivatives and the fair value of the Debt Instruments without the embedded and freestanding features. The lattice model uses the stock price, conversion price, maturity date, risk-free interest rate, estimated stock volatility, estimated credit spread and other instrument-specific assumptions. The Company remeasures the fair value of the Debt Instruments and records the change as a gain or loss from change in fair value of debt in the statement of operations for each reporting period.

Derivative Liabilities Recognized in Connection with the Issuance of Debt Instruments

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the Company's derivative liabilities recognized in connection with the issuance of debt instruments, either freestanding or embedded, measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
(In thousands) Derivative Liability
Balance at December 31, 2020 $ 8,698 
Change in fair value of derivative instruments 22,745 
Derecognition on settlement or extinguishment (59)
Balance at March 31, 2021 $ 31,384 

Freestanding Derivative Instruments

On February 28, 2020, the Company entered into forbearance agreements with certain affiliates of the Schottenfeld Group LLC (the Lenders) related to certain defaults under the Schottenfeld Notes. In connection with entering into the forbearance agreements, the Company committed to issuing warrants (Warrants) to the Lenders under certain contingent events for 1.9 million shares of common stock at a $2.87 purchase price and a two-year term. The contingent obligation to issue the Warrants did not meet the derivative scope exception or equity classification criteria and was accounted for as a derivative liability and remeasured each reporting period until settled or extinguished with subsequent changes in fair value recorded through the statement of operations. The fair value of the Warrants derivative liability was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model based on the input assumptions for liability classified warrants table in the valuation methodology section below. At March 31, 2021, the fair value of the contingently issuable Warrants derivative liability was $31.2 million, and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a $22.7 million loss on change in fair value of derivative instruments.

Valuation Methodology and Approach to Measuring the Derivative Liabilities

Substantially all the outstanding liabilities associated with the Company’s derivatives at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 represent the fair value of freestanding equity instruments. See Note 4, "Debt", and Note 6, "Stockholders' Deficit" for further information regarding these host instruments. There is no current observable market for these types of


16



derivatives and, as such, the Company determined the fair value of the freestanding instruments using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which is discussed in more detail below.

The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of its liability classified warrants as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Input assumptions for these freestanding instruments are as follows:
Range for the Period
Input assumptions for liability classified warrants: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Fair value of common stock on issue date
$19.10 – $19.10
$2.56 – $6.18
Exercise price of warrants
$2.87 – $2.87
$2.87 – $3.25
Expected volatility
114% – 114%
94% – 117%
Risk-free interest rate
0.16% – 0.16%
0.13% – 1.58%
Expected term in years
2 – 2
1 – 2
Dividend yield 0.0  % 0.0 %

Changes in valuation assumptions can have a significant impact on the valuation of the freestanding derivative liabilities and debt that the Company elects to account for at fair value. For example, all other things being equal, generally, an increase in the Company’s stock price, change of control probability, risk-adjusted yields term to maturity/conversion or stock price volatility increases the value of the derivative liability.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Carrying Value

Financial Assets and Liabilities

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and other current accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities and low market interest rates, if applicable. Loans payable and credit facilities are recorded at carrying value, which is representative of fair value at the date of acquisition. The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using observable market-based inputs (Level 2). The carrying amount (the total amount of net debt presented on the balance sheet) of the Company's debt at March 31, 2021 and at December 31, 2020, excluding the debt instruments recorded at fair value, was $49.3 million and $86.5 million, respectively. The fair value of such debt at March 31, 2021 and at December 31, 2020 was $51.1 million and $83.3 million, respectively, and was determined by (i) discounting expected cash flows using current market discount rates estimated for certain of the debt instruments and (ii) using third-party fair value estimates for the remaining debt instruments.

Senior Convertible Notes Conversion

On February 4, 2021, the Company received a notice of conversion from HT Investments MA, LLC (HT) with respect to $20.0 million of its outstanding Senior Convertible Notes, pursuant to which the Company was required to issue 5.7 million shares of common stock per the conversion price stated in the agreement and cancelled the outstanding Note. Also, under the terms of the Senior Convertible Note, HT was required to return 2.6 million shares of common stock outstanding under the Pre-Delivery Shares provision once the Company had fully repaid the principal balance. HT fulfilled its obligation to return these shares in accordance with the contractual requirement, and as a result the Company net settled the $20 million principal conversion by issuing 3.1 million of incremental shares to HT.

Upon conversion of the HT Senior Convertible Note, the Company recorded a $31.9 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, which was primarily comprised of a fair value adjustment upon repayment of the note's principal.

See the Company's 2020 Form 10-K, Note 4, “Debt” for additional information regarding the Senior Convertible Notes.

Schottenfeld Note Exchange

On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into an Exchange and Settlement Agreement (Exchange Agreement) with Schottenfeld Opportunities Fund II, L.P. and certain other holders of notes under the Credit and Security Agreement dated November 14, 2019 (Schottenfeld Notes). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Company paid all accrued and unpaid interest on the $12.5 million principal balance outstanding under the Schottenfeld Notes, and issued 4.1 million net shares of common stock in a cashless exchange and cancellation of all amounts due and outstanding under the Notes and related loan documents and all warrants held by each of the holders of Schottenfeld Notes.

Upon conversion of the Schottenfeld note balance, the Company recorded a $28.9 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, which primarily represented the fair value of common shares issued in excess of debt principal extinguished.

See the Company's 2020 Form 10-K, Note 4, “Debt” for additional information regarding the Schottenfeld Notes.

DSM Notes Amendments and Repayment

On December 28, 2017, the Company and DSM Finance, a wholly owned subsidiary of Koninklijke DSM N.V. (DSM), entered into a credit agreement (the DSM Credit Agreement) to make available to the Company an unsecured credit facility of $25.0 million. On December 28, 2017, the Company borrowed $25.0 million under the DSM Credit Agreement and issued a promissory note to DSM Finance. The $25 million Note matures on December 31, 2021 and accrues interest at 10% per annum, payable quarterly.

On September 17, 2019, the Company and DSM entered into a credit agreement (the 2019 DSM Credit Agreement) to make available to the Company a secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $8.0 million. In September 2019, the Company borrowed the $8.0 million in three installments. The promissory notes issued under the 2019 DSM Credit Agreement (i) mature on August 7, 2022, (ii) accrue interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum, payable quarterly and (iii) are secured by a first-priority lien on certain Company intellectual property licensed to DSM.

In March 2021, the Company entered into amendments (the March 2021 Amendments) to the $25 million Note and the $8 million Note that provided for (i) the prepayment of the $8 million Note, (ii) a $15 million partial prepayment of the $25 million Note and (iii) extension of the maturity date from December 31, 2021 to April 15, 2022 for the remaining $10 million principal balance under the $25 million Note, in exchange for a $2.5 million prepayment fee The Company repaid $23 million on March 31, 2021 to extinguish the $8 million Note and to partially repay the $25 million Note.

The Company evaluated the March 2021 Amendments, and concluded the before and after cash flows resulting from the amendments were not significantly different and accounted for the amendments to the Notes as a debt modification. Consequently, the $2.5 million Prepayment Fee was recorded as an incremental debt discount to the remaining $10 million principal balance under the $25 million Note. The Company will accrete the adjusted discount over the Note’s amended remaining term using the effective interest method.

See the Company's 2020 Form 10-K, Note 4, “Debt” for additional information regarding the DSM notes.

5. Mezzanine Equity

Mezzanine equity at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is comprised of proceeds from shares of common stock sold on May 10, 2016 to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (the Gates Foundation). In connection with the stock sale, the Company and the Gates Foundation entered into an agreement under which the Company agreed to expend an aggregate amount not less than the proceeds from the stock sale to develop a yeast strain that produces artemisinic acid and/or amorphadiene at a low cost and to supply such artemisinic acid and amorphadiene to companies qualified to convert artemisinic acid and amorphadiene to artemisinin for inclusion in artemisinin combination therapies used to treat malaria. If the Company defaults in its obligation to use the proceeds from the stock sale as set forth above or defaults under certain other commitments in the agreement, the Gates Foundation will have the right to request that the Company redeem, or facilitate the purchase by a


19



third party, the shares then held by the Gates Foundation at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the trading day prior to the redemption or purchase, as applicable, or (ii) an amount equal to $17.10 plus a compounded annual return of 10%.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company's remaining research and development obligation under this arrangement was $0.3 million.

6. Stockholders' Deficit

Warrants and Rights Activity Summary

In connection with various debt and equity transactions (see Note 4, “Debt” above and Note 4, "Debt" and Note 6, “Stockholders’ Deficit” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2020 Form 10-K), the Company has issued warrants exercisable for shares of common stock. The following table summarizes warrants outstanding at March 31, 2021:
Transaction Number Outstanding as of March 31, 2021 Exercise Price per Share as of March 31, 2021
Blackwell and Silverback warrants 1,000,000  $ 3.25

July 2015 related party debt exchange 58,690  $ 0.15 
Other 1,406  $ 160.05 
19,589,801 

Warrant Exercises

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, warrant-holders exercised warrants to purchase approximately 24.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.06 per share, for net proceeds to the Company of $32.2 million. Some of the exercises were cashless or in connection with the Schottenfeld Note Exchange, which resulted in fewer shares being issued than the number of warrant-shares exercised. As a result, 21.6 million shares were issued.

7. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, basic loss per share was the same as diluted loss per share, because the inclusion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding was antidilutive.

The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method also requires losses for the period to be allocated between common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights if the participating security contractually participates in losses. The Company’s convertible preferred stock are participating securities as they contractually entitle the holders of such shares to participate in dividends and contractually require the holders of such shares to participate in the Company’s losses.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share:

(In thousands, except shares and per share amounts) 2021 2020
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to Amyris, Inc. $ (291,251) $ (87,844)

The following outstanding shares of potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share of common stock because including them would have been antidilutive:
Three Months Ended March 31,
2021 2020
Period-end common stock warrants 13,416,235  50,518,519

Total potentially dilutive securities excluded from computation of diluted loss per share 47,759,559  72,556,268 
______________
(1)    The potentially dilutive effect of convertible promissory notes was computed based on conversion ratios in effect as of the respective period end dates. A portion of the convertible promissory notes issued carries a provision for a reduction in conversion price under certain circumstances, which could potentially increase the dilutive shares outstanding. Another portion of the convertible promissory notes issued carries a provision for an increase in the conversion rate under certain circumstances, which could also potentially increase the dilutive shares outstanding.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantor Arrangements

The Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its executive officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the executive officer or director is serving in his or her official capacity. The indemnification period remains enforceable for the executive officer's or director’s lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future payments. As a result of its insurance policy coverage, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company had no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The Foris Convertible Note (see Note 4, "Debt") is collateralized by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Company's assets, including Company intellectual property, other than certain Company intellectual property licensed to DSM and the Company's shares of Aprinnova. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Foris Convertible Note.

The obligations of the Company under the Naxyris Note (see Note 4, "Debt") are (i) guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and (ii) secured by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (the Collateral), junior in payment priority to Foris subject to certain limitations and exceptions, as well as the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Nikko $3.9 million note is collateralized by a first-priority lien on 10.0% of the Aprinnova JV interests owned by the Company.

Other Matters

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but will only be recorded when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgement. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against and by the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be reasonably estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

On April 3, 2019, a securities class action complaint was filed against Amyris and our CEO, John G. Melo, and former CFO, Kathleen Valiasek, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of a purported class that would comprise all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired our securities between March 15, 2018 and March 19, 2019. The complaint, which was amended by the lead plaintiff on September 13, 2019, alleges securities law violations based on statements and omissions made by the Company during such period. On October 25, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the securities class action complaint, which was denied by the court on October 5, 2020. The Company filed its answer to the securities class action complaint on October 26, 2020. Subsequent to the filing of the securities class action complaint described above, on June 21, 2019 and October 1, 2019, respectively, two separate purported shareholder derivative complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (Bonner v. Doerr, et al., and Carlson v. Doerr, et al.) based on similar allegations to those made in the securities class action complaint and naming the Company, and certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors, as defendants. The derivative lawsuits sought to recover, on the Company’s behalf, unspecified damages purportedly sustained by the Company in connection with allegedly misleading statements and omissions made in connection with the Company’s securities filings. The derivative lawsuits were dismissed on October 18, 2019 (Bonner) and December 10, 2019 (Carlson), without prejudice. On November 3, 2020, Bonner re-filed its derivative complaint against the Company in San Mateo County Superior Court. The Company filed its demurrer to the complaint on January 13, 2021 and attended a preliminary hearing on April 22, 2021. An additional shareholder derivative complaint (Kimbrough v. Melo, et al.), substantially identical to the Bonner complaint, was filed on December 18, 2020 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. On February 19, 2021, the Company filed its motion to dismiss the Kimbrough complaint. In response, the Kimbrough complaint was dismissed in federal court on March 4, 2021 and refiled in state court on March 12, 2021. By agreement, the Kimbrough and Bonner complaints were consolidated for all purposes on April 9, 2021. By May 10, 2021, the derivative shareholder plaintiffs will either file a new complaint or designate one of the existing complaints as operative. A briefing schedule on a demurrer to that complaint will be negotiated no later than May 24, 2021. The Company believes the securities class action and derivative complaints lack merit, and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously. Given the early stage of these proceedings, it is not yet possible to reliably determine any potential liability that could result from these matters.

On September 10, 2020, LAVVAN, Inc. (Lavvan) filed a suit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging breach of contract, patent infringement, and trade secret misappropriation in connection with that certain Research, Collaboration and License Agreement between Lavvan and Amyris, dated March 18, 2019, as amended (Cannabinoid Agreement). Amyris filed motions to compel arbitration or to dismiss on October 2, 2020. On October 30, Lavvan filed its opposition to the motions and the Company filed its reply to such opposition on November 13, 2020. The matter is fully briefed and the parties are awaiting an order from the Court. The Company believes the suit lacks merit and intends to continue to defend itself vigorously. Given the early stage of these proceedings, it is not yet possible to reliably determine any potential liability that could result therefrom.

The Company is subject to disputes and claims that arise or have arisen in the ordinary course of business and that have not resulted in legal proceedings or have not been fully adjudicated. Such matters that may arise in the ordinary course of business are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes, and are not predictable with reasonable assurance; therefore, an estimate of all the reasonably possible losses cannot be determined at this time. If one or more of these legal disputes or claims resulted in settlements or legal proceedings that were resolved against the Company for amounts in excess of management’s


22



expectations, the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the relevant reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

DSM License Agreement and Contract Assignment

On March 31, 2021, the Company and DSM entered into a license agreement and asset purchase agreement pursuant to which DSM acquired exclusive rights to the Company’s Flavor and Fragrance (F&F) product portfolio. The Company granted DSM exclusive licenses covering specific intellectual property (F&F Intellectual Property License) of the Company and assigned the Company’s rights and obligations under certain F&F ingredients supply agreements to DSM, in exchange for non-refundable upfront consideration totaling $150 million, and up to $235 million of contingent consideration if and when certain


23



commercial milestones are achieved in each of the calendar years 2022 through 2024. DSM also acquired the Company’s F&F finished goods inventory on-hand, unbilled accounts receivables and billed accounts receivable that were uncollected at closing. The Company and DSM also entered into a 15-year manufacturing agreement whereby the Company will manufacture certain F&F ingredients for DSM to supply to third parties.

The Company determined the licenses to be functional intellectual property licenses allowing DSM the immediate use of and benefit from the technology, and concluded the licenses and related assigned F&F ingredients supply agreements, the asset purchase agreement and the manufacturing agreement were revenue contracts within the scope of ASC 606. The Company identified three distinct performance obligations: (i) F&F license, (ii) finished goods inventory and (iii) receivables, that once delivered are satisfied at a point in time. The Company also concluded the additional contingent consideration and manufacturing supply agreement represent variable consideration that will be fully constrained until the commercial targets are probable of achievement and the products are manufactured and sold.

The Company allocated the $150 million transaction price to the three revenue performance obligations using the residual approach. The transaction price was first allocated to the transferred inventory and receivables at the stand-alone selling price for these performance obligations, and the residual consideration was allocated to the F&F intellectual property licenses:
Finished goods inventory - $1.5 million
Receivables - $4.9 million
F&F intellectual property licenses - $143.6 million

The Company also concluded the F&F intellectual property licenses and the assigned F&F supply agreements had been fully delivered with no further performance obligation upon closing the transaction, and recognized license revenue of $143.6 million in the period ended March 31, 2021.

Due to the related party nature of the transaction with DSM, who is a significant shareholder with two members on the Company’s board of directors, the Company performed a fair value assessment of the F&F intellectual property licenses under an income approach using a discounted cash flow model, in part with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, and concluded the $143.6 million residual consideration received in exchange for the F&F intellectual property licenses approximated the fair value and stand-alone selling price of the F&F intellectual property licenses.

DSM Performance Agreement

In December 2017, the Company and DSM entered into a research and development services agreement (Performance Agreement), pursuant to which the Company would provide services to DSM relating to the further development of the technology underlying farnesene-related products in exchange for certain bonus payments in the event that specific performance metrics were achieved. If the Company did not meet the established metrics under the Performance Agreement, the Company would be required to pay $1.9 million to DSM. The Company accounted for the Performance Agreement under ASC 606 as a combined transaction with the Farnesene license granted to DSM in connection with the sale of the Brotas facility in December 2017. The Performance Agreement was allocated $1.2 million of the transaction price under a relative fair value allocation approach, and was recorded as a contract asset reflecting the Company’s right to receive additional consideration and deferred revenue reflecting the probability of returning to DSM a portion of the cash received under the combined transaction. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company and DSM determined the performance metrics would not be reasonably achieved without the Company providing further research and development services and concluded the Performance Agreement and related activities should be terminated. As a result, the Company paid DSM $1.9 million and reduced the deferred revenue liability, and expensed the contract asset balance and recorded $1.9 million of additional research and development expense during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

DSM Ingredients Collaboration

Pursuant to the September 2017 research and development collaboration agreement, as amended, the Company provides DSM with research and development services for specific field of use ingredients. The Company concluded the amended agreement contained a single performance obligation to provide research and development services delivered over time and that revenue recognition is based on an input measure of progress as labor hours are expended each quarter. DSM funds the development work with payments of $2.0 million quarterly from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021 for services singularly focused on achieving a certain fermentation yield and cost target over the twelve-month period. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $2.0 million and $3.0 million of collaboration revenue in connection with the amended agreement.

Yifan Collaborations

The Company has a collaboration agreement with Yifan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Yifan), a leading Chinese pharmaceutical company. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $2.3 million and $2.7 million of collaboration revenue, and $16.6 million of cumulative-to-date collaboration revenue in connection with the agreement. At March 31, 2021, the Company also recorded a $5.9 million contract asset in connection with the Collaboration Agreement.

For more information about the DSM ingredients collaboration and Yifan collaboration, see the Company's 2020 Form 10-K, Part II, Item 8, Note 10, "Revenue Recognition".

Contract Assets and Liabilities

When a contract results in revenue being recognized in excess of the amount the Company has invoiced or has the right to invoice to the customer, a contract asset is recognized. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable, net when the rights to the consideration become unconditional.

Contract liabilities consist of payments received from customers, or such consideration that is contractually due, in advance of providing the product or performing services such that control has not passed to the customer.

Trade receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers are included in accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables are recorded for the sale of goods or the performance of services at the point of renewable product sale or in accordance with the contractual payment terms for licenses and royalties, and grants and collaborative research and development services for the amount payable by the customer to the Company.

We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Overview

As a leading synthetic biotechnology company active in the Clean Health and Beauty markets through our consumer brands and a top supplier of sustainable and natural ingredients, we apply our proprietary Lab-to-Market biotechnology platform to engineer, manufacture and market high performance, natural and sustainably sourced products. We do so with the use of computational tools, strain construction tools, screening and analytics tools, and advanced lab automation and data integration. Our biotechnology platform enables us to rapidly engineer microbes and use them as catalysts to metabolize renewable, plant-sourced sugars into high-value ingredients that we manufacture at industrial scale. Through the combination of our biotechnology platform and our industrial fermentation process, we have successfully developed, produced and commercialized thirteen distinct molecules used in formulations by thousands of leading global brands.

We believe that synthetic biology represents a third industrial revolution, bringing together biology and engineering to generate new, more sustainable materials to meet the growing global demand for bio-based replacements of petroleum-based and traditional animal- or plant-derived ingredients. We continue to generate demand for our current portfolio of products through an extensive go-to-market network provided by our partners that are the leading companies in our target markets. Via our partnership model, our partners invest in the development of molecules to take it from the lab to commercial scale and use their extensive marketing and sales capabilities to sell our ingredients and formulations to their customers. We capture long-term revenue both through the production and sale of our molecules to our partners and through royalty revenues from our partners' product sales to their customers. We have also successfully formulated our unique, natural and sustainably-sourced ingredients into wholly-owned consumer brands, including Biossance® our clean beauty skincare brand, Pipette®, our baby and mother care brand, and PurecaneTM, our alternative sweetener brand. We are marketing our brands directly to consumers via our ecommerce platforms, in brick-and-mortar stores, and online via various retail partners.

We were founded in 2003 in the San Francisco Bay area by a group of scientists from the University of California, Berkeley. Through a grant in 2005 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, we developed technology capable of creating microbial strains that produce artemisinic acid, a precursor of artemisinin, an anti-malarial drug.

We produced a renewable farnesene brand, Biofene®, a long-chain, branched hydrocarbon molecule that we manufacture through fermentation using engineered microbes. Our farnesene derivatives are sold in hundreds of products as nutraceuticals, skincare products, fragrances, solvents, polymers, and lubricant ingredients. In 2014, we began manufacturing additional molecules for the Flavor & Fragrance industry; in 2015, we began investing to expand our capabilities to other small molecule chemical classes via our collaboration with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA); and in 2016, we expanded into proteins. We then made the strategic decision to transition our business model from low margin commodity markets to higher margin specialty ingredients markets. We began the transition by first commercializing and supplying farnesene-derived squalane as a cosmetic ingredient to formulators and distributors. We also entered into collaboration and supply agreements for the development and commercialization of molecules within the Flavor & Fragrance and Clean Beauty


29



markets. We partner with our customers to create sustainable, high performing, low-cost molecules that replace an ingredient in their supply chains. We commercially scale and manufacture those molecules. Our revenue is generated from research and development collaboration programs, grants, renewable product sales, and license and royalty revenues from our renewable product portfolios.

All of our non-government partnerships include commercial terms for the supply of molecules we produce at commercial scale. The first molecule to generate revenue for us outside of farnesene was a fragrance molecule launched in 2015. Since the launch, this and additional fragrance molecules have continued to generate sales year over year. Our partners for these molecules are indicating continued strong growth due to their cost advantaged position, high purity of our molecules and our sustainable production method. In 2019, we commercially produced and shipped our Reb M product that is an alternative sweetener and sugar replacement for food and beverages. In 2020, we added a total of six new ingredients to our portfolio. We have a pipeline that can deliver an estimated two to three new molecules each year over the coming years.

Our time to market for molecules has decreased from seven years to less than a year for our most recent molecule, mainly due to our ability to leverage our biotechnology platform with proprietary computational tools, strain construction tools, screening and analytics tools, and advanced lab automation and data integration. Our state-of-the-art infrastructure includes industry-leading strain engineering and lab automation located in Emeryville, California, pilot-scale production facilities in Emeryville, California and Campinas, Brazil, and a commercial-scale production facility in Leland, North Carolina (owned and operated by our Aprinnova joint venture). We are able to use a wide variety of feedstocks for production but have focused on sourcing Brazilian sugarcane for our large-scale production because of its renewability, low cost and relative price stability. We are constructing a new purpose-built, large-scale specialty ingredients facility in Brazil, which we anticipate will allow for the manufacture of up to five products concurrently, including both our specialty ingredients portfolio and our alternative sweetener product. In September 2019, we obtained the necessary permits and broke ground for this facility and we expect construction to be completed by the end of 2021. During construction, we continue to manufacture our products at manufacturing sites in Brazil, the U.S. and Europe.

Sales and Revenue

We recognize revenue from consumer and ingredient product sales, license fees and royalties, and grants and collaborations.

We have research and development collaboration arrangements for which we receive payments from our collaboration partners, which include DARPA, Koninklijke DSM N.V. (DSM), Firmenich SA (Firmenich), Givaudan International SA (Givaudan), Yifan Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (Yifan) and others. Some of our collaboration arrangements provide for advance payments to us in consideration for grants of exclusivity or research efforts that we will perform. Our collaboration agreements, which may require us to achieve milestones prior to receiving payments, are expected to contribute revenues from product sales and royalties if and when they are commercialized. See Note 10, “Revenue Recognition” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2020 Form 10-K for additional information.

We have several other collaboration molecules in our development pipeline with partners including DSM, Givaudan, Firmenich and Yifan that we expect will contribute revenues from product sales and royalties if and when they are commercialized.

COVID-19 Business Update

We have been closely monitoring the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it has and will impact our employees, partners, supply chain, and distribution network. Before the start of the pandemic in early 2020, we developed a comprehensive response strategy including establishing a cross-functional COVID-19 task force and implementing business continuity plans to manage the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our employees and our business. As the pandemic has progressed, we have applied recommended public health recommendations designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and have been focused on the health and welfare of our employees. These recommendations to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 infection across our businesses have included additional sanitation and cleaning procedures in our laboratories and other facilities, on-site COVID-19 testing, temperature and symptom confirmations, instituting remote working when possible, and implementing social distancing and staggered worktime requirements for our employees who must work on-site. Throughout this period, we have successfully managed to sustain ongoing critical production campaigns and infrastructure while keeping our employee population healthy with no evidence of disease transmission within our onsite operations.

results of operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition in the future” in Part I, Item 1A of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (U.S. GAAP). We believe that the critical accounting policies described in this section are those that significantly impact our financial condition and results of operations and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgements, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of this uncertainty, actual results may vary from these estimates.

Our most critical accounting estimates include:
Recognition of revenue including arrangements with multiple performance obligations;
Valuation and allocation of fair value to various elements of complex related party transactions;
The valuation of freestanding and embedded derivatives, which impacts gains or losses on such derivatives, the carrying value of debt, interest expense and deemed dividends; and
The valuation of debt for which we have elected fair value accounting.

For a more detailed discussion of our critical accounting estimates and policies, see Note 1, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Part II, Item 8 of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Results of Operations

Revenue
Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands) 2021 2020
Revenue
Renewable products $ 28,179  $ 17,854 
Licenses and royalties 143,800  5,161 
Grants and collaborations 4,880  6,115 
Total revenue $ 176,859  $ 29,130 

Total revenue increased by 507% to $176.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was the primarily the result of $143.6 million of license revenue from the sale of flavor and fragrance (F&F) intellectual property licenses and the assignment of certain F&F supply agreements to DSM during the three months ended March 31, 2021 (see Note 9, "Revenue Recognition"), combined with a $10.3 million increase in renewable products revenue.

Renewable products revenue increased by 58% to $28.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily driven by increased sales in our consumer product lines.

Licenses and royalties revenue increased by $138.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, due to the sale of flavor and fragrance (F&F) intellectual property licenses and the assignment of certain F&F supply agreements to DSM, as described in Note 9, "Revenue Recognition".

Grants and collaborations revenue decreased by 20% to $4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, related to decreases from our customers DSM and Yifan.

Costs and Operating Expenses
Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands) 2021 2020
Cost and operating expenses
Cost of products sold $ 22,659  $ 11,790 
Research and development 23,332  17,126 
Sales, general and administrative 37,922  32,014 
Total cost and operating expenses $ 83,913  $ 60,930 

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold includes the costs of raw materials, labor and overhead, amounts paid to contract manufacturers, inventory write-downs resulting from applying lower of cost or net realizable value inventory adjustments, and costs related to production scale-up. Because of our product mix, our cost of products sold does not change proportionately with changes in renewable product revenue.

Cost of products sold increased by 92% to $22.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to a 58% increase in total product revenue and $3.6 million of incremental costs related to raw materials price variances, inventory rework costs and manufacturing capacity fee adjustments related to our RebM ingredients product.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by 36% to $23.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to increases in outside services related to our new squalane adjuvant project, and employee compensation.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

Sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 18% to $37.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to increases in selling, marketing and employee compensation costs related to our consumer product lines.

Other Expense, Net
Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands) 2021 2020
Other income (expense):
Interest expense (5,813) (15,002)
(Loss) gain from change in fair value of derivative instruments (22,745) 3,282 
Loss from change in fair value of debt (326,785) (16,503)
Loss upon extinguishment of debt (27,313) (27,319)
Other (expense) income, net (678)
Total other expense, net $ (383,334) $ (55,538)

Total other expense, net was $383.3 million in 2021, compared to total other expense of $55.5 million in 2020. The $327.8 million change was primarily comprised of a $310.3 million increase in loss from change in fair value of debt and a $26.0 million change from a gain to a loss in change in fair value of derivative instruments, partly offset by a $9.2 million decrease in interest expense.

The increase in loss from change in fair value of debt was primarily due to a significant increase (209%) in our stock price relative to a $3.00 and $3.50 conversion price of the two debt instruments measured under the fair value option during the three months ended March 31, 2021.



32



The change from a gain to a loss in change in fair value of derivative instruments was primarily due to a significant increase (209%) in our stock price relative to the $2.87 exercise price of the mark to market liability warrants during the three months ended March 31, 2021. See Note 3, "Fair Value Measurement" in Part II, Item 8 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details regarding our outstanding derivative instruments.

The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a 33% decrease in total debt principal owed at March 31, 2021 in comparison to March 31, 2020, and a significant decrease in debt discount accretion.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded provisions of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for income taxes related to accrued interest on uncertain tax positions.

Liquidity

Prior to the three months ended March 31, 2021, we have incurred operating losses since our inception, and we expect to incur losses and negative cash flows from operations through at least the next 12 months following the issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of March 31, 2021, we had working capital of $105.1 million, an accumulated deficit of $2.4 billion, and cash and cash equivalents of $143.8 million.

As of March 31, 2021, the principal amounts due under our debt instruments (including related party debt) totaled $114.7 million, of which $11.3 million is classified as current. Our debt agreements contain various covenants, including certain restrictions on our business — including restrictions on additional indebtedness, material adverse effect and cross default provisions — that could cause us to be at risk of default. A failure to comply with the covenants and other provisions of our debt instruments, including any failure to make payments when required, would generally result in events of default under such instruments, which could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of such indebtedness. Acceleration would generally also constitute an event of default under our other outstanding debt instruments, which could result in the acceleration of a substantial portion of our debt repayment obligations.

Based on our cash and cash equivalents of $143.8 million as of March 31, 2021, plus $130.7 million of net proceeds from our April 2021 public stock offering, which together total $274.5 million, we believe that we have sufficient resources to fund our operations and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

For details of our debt and equity, see the following Notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

Cash Flows during the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are costs related to the production and sale of our products and personnel-related expenditures, offset by cash received from renewable product sales, licenses and royalties, and grants and collaborations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by operating activities was $108.7 million, consisting primarily of a $290.1 million net loss, partially offset by $384.7 million of favorable non-cash adjustments that were primarily comprised of a $326.8 million loss from change in fair value of debt, a $27.3 million loss upon extinguishment of debt and a $22.7 million loss from change in fair value of derivative instruments. Additionally, there was a $14.0 million decrease in working capital.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $46.4 million, consisting primarily of an $87.8 million net loss, partially offset by $48.1 million of favorable non-cash adjustments that were primarily comprised of a $27.3 million loss upon extinguishment of debt, a $16.5 million loss from change in fair value of debt and $3.5 million of stock-based compensation. Additionally, there was a $6.6 million net increase in working capital balances.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, net cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, comprised of property, plant and equipment purchases.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash provided by financing activities was $7.5 million, primarily comprised of $32.2 million of proceeds from the exercise of warrants, partly offset by $23.2 million of debt principal payments and $2.5 million of issuance costs incurred in connection with a debt modification.
    
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing activities was $49.7 million, primarily comprised of $57.3 million of net proceeds from common stock issuances and deemed issuance, partly offset by $7.0 million of debt principal payments.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The market risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in the price of our common stock, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.

Amyris Common Stock Price Risk

We are exposed to potential losses related to the price of our common stock. At each balance sheet date, the fair value of our derivative liabilities and certain of our outstanding debt instruments for which we have elected fair value accounting, is remeasured using current fair value inputs, one of which is the price of our common stock.

During any particular period, if the price of our common stock increases, there will likely be increases in the fair value of our derivative liabilities and our debt instruments for which we have elected fair value accounting. Such increases in fair value will result in losses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations from change in fair value of derivative instruments and from change in fair value of debt. Conversely, a decrease in the price of our stock during any particular period will likely result in gains in relation to these derivative and debt instruments. Given the current and historical volatility of our common stock price, any changes period-over-period have and could in the future result in a significant change in the fair value of our derivative liabilities and convertible debt instruments and significantly impact our net income during the period of change.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

Most of our sales contracts are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore our revenues are not currently subject to significant foreign currency risk.
The functional currency of our consolidated Brazilian subsidiary is the local currency (Brazilian Real), in which recurring business transactions occur. We do not use currency exchange contracts as hedges against our investment in that subsidiary.
Our permanent investment in Brazil was $22.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and $18.5 million as of December 31, 2020, using the exchange rate at each date. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in Brazilian Real exchange rates would have had an adverse impact to Other Comprehensive Loss of $2.2 million as of March 31, 2021 and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2020.
We have also evaluated foreign currency exposure in relation to our other non-U.S. Dollar denominated assets and liabilities and determined that there would be an immaterial effect on our results of operations from 10% exchange rate fluctuations between those currencies and the U.S. Dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our outstanding debt obligations, including embedded derivatives therein. We generally invest our cash in investments with short maturities or with frequent interest reset terms. Accordingly, our interest income fluctuates with short-term market conditions. As of March 31, 2021, our investment portfolio consisted of money market funds and certificates of deposit, both of which are highly liquid. Due to the short-term nature of our investment portfolio, we do not believe that an immediate 10% increase in interest rates would have a material effect on the fair value of our portfolio. Since we believe we have the ability to liquidate our investment portfolio, we expect that our operating results or cash flows would not be materially affected by a sudden change in market interest rates on the portfolio.

In addition, while not likely in the current and significantly extended low interest rate environment, changes in interest rates could significantly change the fair value of our embedded derivative liabilities.
    
As of March 31, 2021, all of our outstanding debt is in fixed rate instruments. As a result, changes in interest rates would not affect interest expense and payments in relation to our debt.

Commodity Price Risk
Our primary exposure to market risk for changes in commodity prices relates to our procurement of products from contract manufacturers and other suppliers whose prices are affected by the price of sugar feedstocks. Our suppliers manage exposure to this risk primarily through the use of feedstock pricing agreements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management's evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risks described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our 2020 Form 10-K could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face; our operations could also be affected by factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. Due to risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, our past financial results may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. The “Risk Factors” section of the 2020 Form 10-K remains current in all material respects.
