Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMRS) ("Amyris"), a leading synthetic biotechnology company accelerating the world to sustainable consumption through its Lab-to-Market™ operating platform, today announced strong year-over-year consumer sales performance during this year's Black Friday sales week.

Consumer sales for Black Friday week exceeded $10 million, more than doubling last year's performance and representing the best week of Amyris consumer sales on record. With a record 791,000 consumer visits to Amyris' direct-to-consumer websites during the week, approximately 50% of consumer sales came from online channels.

"With advance holiday season planning and solid execution, we have been able to work through the supply chain challenges thus far this quarter and meet strong demand for our consumer products. In addition to solid sales performance from our core business, we are focused on the successful completion of human trials in South Africa so that we can move to regulatory approval and commercialization of our COVID-19 RNA vaccine and help provide a solution to parts of the world that have not had access to a COVID-19 vaccine."
