“I am incredibly proud of our team’s continued progress and execution on our mission to enable the world’s transition to sustainable materials. We remain well-capitalized and on track for mechanical completion of Origin 1 by year-end 2022, a considerable accomplishment despite the pandemic and related supply-chain headwinds. For Origin 2, the previously disclosed capital budget, construction timeline, and financing are unchanged. As the world moves aggressively to a zero-carbon future, we continue to see robust demand for our industry-leading technology as well as increasing regulatory support for sustainable solutions that can address the world’s environmental challenges. Our efforts to commercialize the business have resulted in increased offtake agreements and capacity reservations from our customers and partners to $9.0 billion, a more than ninefold increase since our announcement to become a public company in February 2021,” said Rich Riley, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Origin.

Key Company Third Quarter Highlights

Origin Materials has increased its total signed offtake agreements and capacity reservations to $9.0 billion as of today, up from $8.1 billion in August 2022. The additional demand complements Origin’s existing partnerships and customer relationships with industry leaders including Danone, Nestlé Waters, PepsiCo, Ford Motor Company, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, Kolon Industries, PrimaLoft, Solvay, Mitsui & Co., Ltd., Minafin Group, LVMH Beauty, Revlon, Mitsubishi Chemical Group, Kuraray, Intertex World Resources, and ATC Plastics.

In addition, the Company has previously announced that it won the 2022 Alternative Fuels & Chemicals Coalition (AFCC) Global Biobased Economy Performance Award for Origin's outstanding performance and achievements in the commercialization and scale-up of its patented technology platform. Sponsored by the Industrial Biotechnology Journal, the official journal of AFCC, the award is given annually to recognize companies that are advancing science and contributing to the production and commercialization of industrial biotechnology products.

Origin 1 and Origin 2 Financing and Construction Update

The Company maintains that the previously disclosed Origin 1 construction timeline is on track, with mechanical completion expected by the end of 2022, and plant commissioning complete by the end of Q1 2023 with start-up beginning shortly thereafter. The Company also maintains its previously disclosed capital budget for Origin 1 of $125 million to $130 million.

During the third quarter, the Company continued to strengthen its Origin 1 operations leadership team and operations staff. The Company has made progress assembling the piping and electrical systems. All major equipment has been delivered including power distribution building, control room, storage tanks and hydrothermal carbon ("HTC") recovery equipment. The Company substantially completed the construction of the HTC building, which houses equipment used in the separation of HTC, and completed the biomass building, which will store sustainable wood residues, and installed the storage tanks.

A new video marking construction progress for Origin 1 is embedded into this press release and is also available on Origin’s Investor Relations site: https://investors.originmaterials.com/.

The previously disclosed Origin 2 capital budget and construction timeline are unchanged. Front end design of the plant continues to be underway with detailed engineering set to begin in 2023. The Company maintains that its financing assumptions for Origin 2 are reasonable and achievable, with Origin 2 fully funded from its existing cash on hand and previously indicated traditional project financing sources. Origin continues to work with leading financial institutions on other forms of traditional private financing and federal loan programs, including through the U.S.D.A. and Department of Energy. In February, the State of Louisiana, pending finalization, awarded a Private Activity Bond volume cap allocation of $400 million to the Company for its selection of Geismar, Louisiana as the site of Origin 2. The Company also expects to receive more than $100 million in pending state and local incentives for Origin 2.

Results for Third Quarter 2022

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $362.2 million as of September 30, 2022.

Operating expenses for the third quarter were $9.7 million compared to $7.1 million in the prior-year period.

Net income was $8.3 million for the third quarter compared to net income of $27.9 million in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $8.4 million for the third quarter compared to a loss of $5.7 million in the prior-year period.

Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2022 were 142.7 million including 4.5 million shares held by a certain stockholder that are subject to forfeiture based on share price performance targets previously disclosed in our filings.

Full Year 2022 Outlook

Based on current business conditions, business trends and other factors, the Company is maintaining Adjusted EBITDA and its previously updated capital spending estimate for fiscal year 2022:

  • Adjusted EBITDA loss of up to $36 million
  • Capital spending is expected to be up to $175 million

About Origin Materials, Inc.

Headquartered in West Sacramento, Origin Materials is the world's leading carbon negative materials company. Origin’s mission is to enable the world’s transition to sustainable materials. For over a decade, Origin has developed a platform for turning the carbon found in inexpensive, plentiful, non-food biomass such as sustainable wood residues into useful materials while capturing carbon in the process. Origin’s patented technology platform can help revolutionize the production of a wide range of end products, including clothing, textiles, plastics, packaging, car parts, tires, carpeting, toys, and more with a ~$1 trillion addressable market. In addition, Origin’s technology platform is expected to provide stable pricing largely decoupled from the petroleum supply chain, which is exposed to more volatility than supply chains based on sustainable wood residues. Origin’s patented drop-in core technology, economics and carbon impact are supported by a growing list of major global customers and investors. For more information, visit www.originmaterials.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), the Company also uses non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest income, (iv) interest expense, net of capitalized interest, (v) change in fair value of derivative liability, (vi) change in fair value of warrants liability, (vii) change in fair value of earnout liability, (viii) professional fees related to completed mergers, and (ix) other income, net. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about the Company’s operating results, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects and allow for greater visibility with respect to key metrics used by the Company’s management in its financial and operational decision-making.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation. In addition, calculations of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from calculations used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

For more information on this non-GAAP financial measure, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Origin Materials’ business strategy, estimated total addressable market, access to traditional financing sources, budget and timelines to complete Origin 1 and Origin 2, ability to convert capacity reservations and offtake agreements into revenue, ability to enter new end-markets, ability to develop new product categories, commercial and operating plans, product development plans, anticipated growth and projected financial information and ability to realize the anticipated benefits of any partnerships discussed in the press release. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of the management of Origin Materials and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability.

Origin Materials, Inc.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-routine items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items that are not core to our operations. Further, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of operating profitability because we use it for evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) interest income, (iv) interest expense, net of capitalized interest, (v) change in fair value of derivative liabilities, (vi) change in fair value of warrants liability, (vii) change in fair value of earnout liability, (viii) professional fees related to completed mergers, and (ix) other income, net.
