Financially, Ginkgo reported a total revenue of $89 million, marking a 61% increase from the previous year, driven by a one-time non-cash revenue adjustment.

The company is also progressing toward its goal of achieving Adjusted EBITDA breakeven by the end of 2026, with substantial savings anticipated from workforce reductions and facility consolidations.
Looking ahead, Ginkgo Bioworks management remains optimistic about the future, emphasizing continued growth in their cell engineering services and biosecurity revenue, with an updated revenue guidance for 2024 reflecting recent strategic moves.
