Codexis reports Q3 EPS (22c), consensus (13c)

Reports Q3 revenue $8.6M, consensus $18.52M. “We’ve had a very exciting and important few months that have set us up very well for the changes we are announcing today” said Stephen Dilly, CEO and Chairman at Codexis (CDXS). “Our ECO Synthesis and ligase businesses have evolved to the point where we are confident of their market potential. We also signed an important agreement with Merck that provides a substantial non-dilutive cash infusion into the company. We feel it is the right time to complete our transition to an innovative manufacturing solutions provider in the field of oligonucleotide manufacturing. We have taken definitive steps to reduce our expenses and focus our efforts on the future businesses of Codexis. This also includes evolving our senior leadership team to prepare for the next phase of Codexis’ growth. I am extremely proud to announce that Alison Moore is succeeding me as CEO of Codexis. Alison has been dedicated to Codexis for the last five years as a board member, and the last year, as a member of our executive leadership team. Alison’s deep domain experience and leadership skills are a great match for the next stage of our journey. I look forward to continuing my partnership with Alison in my role as Executive Chair of the Board.”
