Page | 1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AMYRIS, INC. REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS Record Q4 and Full Year Product Revenue Expanded Product Gross Margins and Positive Q4 Adjusted EBITDA Emeryville, CA – March 2, 2021 – Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMRS), a leading synthetic biotechnology company active in the Clean Health and Beauty markets through its consumer brands, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020. "2020 was a year of transformative execution for Amyris," said John Melo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amyris. "We delivered the third consecutive quarter of record Product sales revenue in Q4 while also expanding Product gross margins. We continued to see strong growth with our Consumer brands and delivered Q4 Consumer revenue equivalent to the entire year 2019. This revenue and margin growth combined with the completion of the strategic transaction resulted in positive adjusted EBITDA in the quarter.” Mr. Melo added, “The Amyris team made significant progress in 2020 on our strategic initiatives. We delivered six new ingredients at scale, completed a successful $200 million equity financing and significantly reduced our total debt. With the momentum in our product revenue we believe that we are well positioned to continue to drive sector leading growth into the future. We expect 2021 to be another record year with underlying total revenue in the $240 million range and reported total revenue of around $400 million, when including the potential impact of the strategic transactions. With our business momentum and these transactions, we expect to deliver full year 2021 positive adjusted EBITDA.” Q4 2020 Financial Highlights Record sales revenue of $80 million nearly doubled versus the prior year quarter. Record Product revenue of $35 million increased 71% compared to the prior year quarter driven by a record quarter for Consumer which, with $17 million in revenue and 161% growth, delivered as much revenue in Q4 as the entire year 2019. Ingredients revenue of $18 million grew 29%. Q4 revenue included $40 million for the Farnesene strategic transaction. Gross margin of 66% improved from 56% in the prior year quarter and increased $30 million year- over-year. Product-related gross margin grew $6 million versus the prior year quarter with the remaining $24 million primarily attributable to the year-over-year impact from strategic transactions. Cash operating expense of $50 million increased by $5 million or 10% versus the prior year quarter, primarily due to marketing investments in our consumer brands and new R&D programs. Adjusted EBITDA was positive $1 million and improved $26 million year-over-year due to higher revenue, improved Product gross margins, and income from the Q4 strategic transaction.

These non-GAAP financial measures are among the factors management uses in planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparisons to Amyris’s historical performance as well as comparisons to the operating results of other companies. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, can enhance investors’ and analysts’ abilities to meaningfully compare our results from period to period, identify operating trends in our business, and track and model our financial performance. In addition, our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow for greater transparency into the indicators used by management to understand and evaluate our business and make operating decisions. Non-GAAP financial information is not prepared under a comprehensive set of accounting rules, and therefore, should only be read in conjunction with financial information reported under GAAP in order to understand Amyris’s operating performance.
