The earnings call highlighted significant progress in partnerships and cost-saving initiatives, but these were overshadowed by declines in revenue, ongoing financial losses, and high debt levels, creating a challenging outlook.
Company Guidance
During Danimer Scientific's Q3 2024 earnings call, several key metrics were highlighted. Total revenue for the third quarter was reported at $8.6 million, a decrease from $10.9 million in the same period the previous year. PHA-based resin sales made up $6.7 million of this revenue, marking a 22% decline primarily due to Starbucks' reallocation of straw resin business. The company posted a gross loss of $7.3 million, consistent with the prior year's quarter, and adjusted gross loss improved slightly to $2.3 million from $2.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $8.9 million, better than the $9.3 million loss in Q3 2023. With unrestricted cash at $22.2 million and a total debt balance of $387.9 million, the company maintained its focus on liquidity, implementing cost-saving measures exceeding $20 million since early 2022. Looking ahead, Danimer anticipates a full-year adjusted EBITDA loss between $34.4 million and $34.9 million, aligning with their previous guidance.
Significant Cutlery Award Progress
Danimer's collaboration with a large global QSR chain is progressing well, with plans to phase out petroleum-based plastics in favor of biodegradable alternatives by the end of 2025. Orders for over 250,000 pounds of cutlery and film resin have been received, with deliveries already underway.
Expansion of Partnerships
Partnerships with Eagle Beverage, Delta Cafes, WinCup, and Mars Wrigley are progressing, including the launch of compostable Skittles bags and state-of-the-art facilities for PHA-based products.
Cost-Saving Initiatives
Run rate cost savings in excess of $20 million have been implemented since early 2022, including reductions in discretionary spending and employee headcount rationalization.
