This continued loss, according to the company, reflects a non-recurring, non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $62.7m registered in the previous year.

Revenue in Q3 2023 totalled $10.94m, slightly up from $10.44m reported during the same quarter last year.

This increase in revenue can be attributed to strong sales of polyhydroxyalkanoates-(PHA) based products in the company.

Sales of PHA-based products alone contributed approximately 78% of the total revenue generated in the current year’s Q3 while it was 51% in Q3 2022.

Danimer chair and CEO Stephen E Croskrey said: “We are excited to announce that new business awards associated with a large quick service restaurant programme for [our] Nodax-based biodegradable cutlery have been issued to several of our converter partners.

“Total demand for our product is expected to be approximately 20 million pounds per year at full run-rate, with first shipments expected to begin in the second half of next year.

“With these cutlery awards, we have now opened another significant product category for our PHA-based resins, which further validates our product in the marketplace and will continue to drive volume across our manufacturing assets.”
