Exhibit 99.1
Intrexon Announces Second Quarter Financial Results
Germantown, MD, September 19, 2013 – Intrexon Corporation (NYSE: XON), a leader in synthetic biology, today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2013.
Second Quarter Highlights
Highlights for the second quarter of 2013 include:
| • | Net loss decreased $10 million, or 60%, to $6.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $16.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012; |
| • | Execution of a collaboration with Soligenix, Inc., to develop and commercialize human monoclonal antibody therapies for the treatment of melioidosis; |
| • | Closing of a Series F Preferred Stock investment round which, together with the previous sale of Series F Preferred Stock in March 2013, resulted in receipt of aggregate proceeds of $150 million before expenses; |
| • | Expansion of the collaboration with Fibrocell Science, Inc., incorporating additional potential treatments based on engineered autologous fibroblast cells for the localized treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders including morphea (localized scleroderma), cutaneous eosinophilias and moderate to severe psoriasis; |
| • | Demonstration of in vitro ability to regulate/control the expression of micro-RNA (miRNA) under control of the Company’s RheoSwitch Therapeutic System®; |
| • | Demonstration of gene programs for the expression of traits that enhance the growth of plants exposed to experimental drought or temperature stress. |
Recent Developments
On August 13, 2013, Intrexon completed an initial public offering which, after taking into effect the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, resulted in aggregate proceeds to the company of approximately $168.3 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results Compared to Prior Year Period
Total revenues were $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $4.1 million, or 148.8%. The $4.0 million increase in collaboration revenue resulted primarily from the recognition of deferred revenue for upfront payments received from four collaborations signed by the Company between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013, as well as one milestone payment received in October 2012. Revenues also increased as a result of research and development services the Company performed under these new agreements. Finally, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company immediately recognized $1.5 million in previously deferred revenue related to an upfront payment the Company received pursuant to a collaboration where both the Company and the counterparty agreed to terminate the agreement.
Research and development expenses were $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $4.0 million or 23%. The decrease is primarily the result of decreases in personnel expenses of $2.5 million and lab supplies of $1.4 million because of the elimination of certain positions due to improvements in production processes and also the Company’s centralization of certain research and development functions to eliminate redundancies.
General and administrative expenses increased $1.1 million, or 17%, to $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily due to increases in personnel expenses for new employees as the Company prepared to become a public company. The Company also incurred $0.3 million of personnel expenses related to AquaBounty Technologies, Inc. (“AquaBounty”), an investment the Company was required to consolidate effective March 15, 2013.
Total other income, net, is primarily comprised of unrealized appreciation in fair value of equity securities which the Company holds in certain of our collaborators which was $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $2.9 million, or 60%.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures
(Unaudited)
Adjusted EBITDA. To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we present Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to our net income or loss under GAAP appears below. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate as net income or loss adjusted for income tax expense or benefit, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, contribution of services by shareholder, unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of equity securities, gain on previously held equity investment, equity in net loss of affiliate and the change in deferred revenue related to upfront and milestone payments. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric for our management and Board of Directors for evaluating our financial and operating performance, generating future operating plans and making strategic decisions about the allocation of capital. Management and the Board of Directors believe that adjusted EBITDA is useful to understand the long-term performance of our core business and facilitates comparisons of our operating results over multiple reporting periods. We are providing this information to investors and others to assist them in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. While we believe that this non-GAAP financial measure is useful in evaluating our business, and may be of use to investors, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be the same as non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and is not intended to represent cash flows from operations under GAAP and should not be used as an alternative to net income or loss as an indicator of operating performance or to represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. We compensate for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA by using it only to supplement our GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted EBITDA has its limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
In addition to the reasons stated above, which are generally applicable to each of the items we exclude from our non-GAAP financial measure, we believe it is appropriate to exclude certain items for the following reasons:
| • | Interest expense may be subject to changes in interest rates which are beyond our control; |
| • | Depreciation of our property and equipment and amortization of acquired identifiable intangibles can be affected by the timing and magnitude of business combinations and capital asset purchases; |
| • | Stock-based compensation expense is a noncash expense and may vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted and also because the value is determined using formulas which incorporate variables, such as market volatility; |
| • | Contribution of services by shareholder is a noncash expense which we exclude in evaluating our financial and operating performance; |
| • | Unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of securities which we hold in our collaborators may be significantly impacted by market volatility and other factors which are outside of our control in the short term and we intend to hold these securities over the long term; |
| • | Equity in net loss of affiliate and the gain on such equity investment occurred as a result of our initial investment in AquaBounty in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the subsequent additional investment in the first quarter of 2013 which resulted in a controlling interest by us and the consolidation of the investment. We believe excluding the impact of such losses or gains on these types of strategic investments from our operating results is important to facilitate comparisons between periods; and |
| • | GAAP requires us to account for our collaborations as multiple-element arrangements. As a result, we defer certain collaboration revenues because certain of our performance obligations cannot be separated and must be accounted for as one unit of accounting. The collaboration revenues that we so defer arise from upfront and milestone payments received from our collaborators, which we recognize over the future performance period even though our right to such consideration is neither contingent on the results of our future performance nor refundable in the event of nonperformance. In order to evaluate our operating performance, our management adjusts for the impact of the change in deferred revenue for these upfront and milestone payments in order to include them as a part of adjusted EBITDA when the transaction is initially recorded. The adjustment for the change in deferred revenue removes the noncash revenue recognized during the period and includes the cash and stock received from collaborators for upfront and milestone payments during the period. We believe that adjusting for the impact of the change in deferred revenue in this manner is important since it permits us to make |
quarterly and annual comparisons of our ability to consummate new collaborations or to achieve significant milestones with existing collaborators. Further, we believe it is useful when evaluating our financial and operating performance, generating future operating plans and making strategic decisions about the allocation of capital. |
Pro forma adjusted EBITDA per share.Our calculations for pro forma adjusted EBITDA per share, basic and diluted, assumes, as of the end of the respective period, the conversion of all outstanding shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock plus all cumulative dividends payable thereon into shares of common stock as if such conversion had occurred as of the later of (i) the beginning of the period or (ii) the issuance date of those shares. Because all of our shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock and all accrued and cumulative dividends thereon automatically converted into common shares upon the closing of our initial public offering on August 13, 2013, we believe that the inclusion of such shares on an as-converted basis results in a useful metric for our investors, analysts and others when evaluating our results on a comparable basis with other periods. While our management and board of directors believe that this non-GAAP per share metric is useful in evaluating our past adjusted EBITDA results, and may be of use to investors, analysts and others, this information should be considered supplemental in nature and is not meant as a substitute for the per share information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP per share metric may not be the same as non-GAAP per share metrics presented by other companies. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA per share is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and is not intended to represent cash flows per share from operations under GAAP and should not be used as an alternative to net income or loss per share as an indicator of operating performance or to represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. We compensate for the limitations of pro forma adjusted EBITDA per share by using it only to supplement our GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA per share has its limitations as an analytical tool and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
