FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained herein, as well as in other filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other written and oral information we release, regarding our future performance constitute "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, the impact on our business, operations and financial results of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine (each of which, among other things, may affect many of the items listed below); the demand for our products and services; revenue growth; effects of competition; supply chain and technology initiatives; inventory and in-stock positions; state of the economy; state of the credit markets, including mortgages, home equity loans, and consumer credit; impact of tariffs; demand for credit offerings; management of relationships with our employees, suppliers and vendors, and customers; international trade disputes, natural disasters, public health issues (including pandemics and related quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and similar restrictions), and other business interruptions that could disrupt supply or delivery of, or demand for, our products or services; continuation of equity programs; net earnings performance; earnings per share; capital allocation and expenditures; liquidity; return on invested capital; expense leverage; stock-based compensation expense; commodity price inflation and deflation; the ability to issue debt on terms and at rates acceptable to us; the impact and expected outcome of investigations, inquiries, claims, and litigation; the effect of accounting charges; the effect of adopting certain accounting standards; the impact of regulatory changes; financial outlook; and the integration of acquired companies into our organization and the ability to recognize the anticipated synergies and benefits of those acquisitions.

Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. You should not rely on our forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to future events, risks and uncertainties – many of which are beyond our control, dependent on the actions of third parties, or currently unknown to us – as well as potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described in Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors and elsewhere in this report and as also may be described from time to time in future reports we file with the SEC. You should read such information in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and Part I, Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this report. There also may be other factors that we cannot anticipate or that are not described in this report, generally because we do not currently perceive them to be material. Such factors could cause results to differ materially from our expectations.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake to update these statements other than as required by law. You are advised, however, to review any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our periodic filings with the SEC.

DANIMER SCIENTIFIC, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Danimer Scientific, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“Company”, “Danimer”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), is a performance polymer company specializing in bioplastic replacements for traditional petroleum-based plastics. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “DNMR”.

The Company (formerly Live Oak Acquisition Corp. (“Live Oak”)), was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 24, 2019 as a special purpose acquisition company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Live Oak completed its initial public offering in May 2020. On December 29, 2020 (“Closing Date”), Live Oak consummated a business combination (“Business Combination”) with Meredian Holdings Group, Inc. (“MHG” or “Legacy Danimer”), with Legacy Danimer surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, meaning that Legacy Danimer was treated as the accounting acquirer and Live Oak was treated as the accounting acquiree. Effectively, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Danimer issuing stock for the net assets of Live Oak, accompanied by a recapitalization. In connection with the Business Combination, Live Oak changed its name to Danimer Scientific, Inc. On August 11, 2021, we closed the acquisition of Novomer, Inc. (integrated into our business as “Danimer Catalytic Technologies”).

Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and consolidate all assets and liabilities of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions in recording assets, liabilities, sales and expenses as well as in the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, we have considered and, where appropriate, included the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations. The pandemic continues to provide significant challenges to the U.S. and global economies.

We do not have any material items of other comprehensive income (loss); accordingly, there is no difference between net loss and comprehensive (loss) income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 or 2022, so a separate Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) that would otherwise be required is not presented.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective that we believe will have a significant effect, or potential significant effect, on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Fair Value Considerations

GAAP defines “fair value” as the price we would receive to sell an asset in a timely transaction or pay to transfer a liability in a timely transaction with an independent buyer. GAAP also sets forth a framework for measuring fair value utilizing a three-tier hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities;

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

Level 1

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were measured using quoted market prices in active markets and represent Level 1 investments. Our other financial instruments such as accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. Additionally, our Senior Secured Term Loan approximates its fair value due to its recent issuance. The March 31, 2023 fair value of our Convertible Notes (See Note 11), based on trades made around that date, was approximately $85.5 million.

We value our restricted stock and restricted stock units without market-based vesting provisions on the respective grant dates, at the closing price of a share of our common stock on the grant dates.

We re-value our restricted stock units that include a cash settlement feature each month at the closing price of a share of our common stock on the last trading day of the month, or $3.45 at March 31, 2023.

Level 2

We valued our restricted stock awards that contain a market-based vesting provision on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation, which takes into account a large number of potential stock price scenarios over time and incorporates varied assumptions about volatility and exercise behavior for those various scenarios. These assumptions are based on market data but cannot be directly observed. A fair value is estimated for each potential outcome and these fair values are averaged to arrive at an overall fair value.

Level 3

We value our stock options, including our ESPP (See Note 14), and Private Warrants (See Note 10) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the respective grant dates. We re-value the Private Warrants and any stock options with a cash-settlement feature each period end. Since our stock price history as a publicly traded company is shorter in duration than the expected lives of our options (other than ESPP), we use a peer group to assess volatility. We have not paid and do not currently anticipate paying a cash dividend on our common stock, so we have set the expected annual dividend yield to zero for all calculations. We used risk-free rates equal to the U.S. Treasury yield curves in effect as of each valuation date for durations equal to the expected lives of each instrument. We use the simplified method under Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 14, defined as the mid-point between the vesting period and the contractual term for each option, to determine the expected lives of stock options and we use the remaining contractual life of the warrants as their expected life.

The following table sets forth the calculated fair values and the associated ranges of values we used for period remeasurement and for new grants in our Black Scholes calculations for stock options, other than ESPP.

Subordinated Term Loan repayment escrow represents the balance held in escrow for the repayment of the remaining balance of our Subordinated Term Loan (see Note 11). On April 17, 2023, this escrow balance was applied against the Subordinated Term Loan outstanding balance and the debt was extinguished.

Senior Secured Term Loan interest reserve represents the balance held in a restricted account for the payment of interest as it becomes due under the Senior Secured Term Loan.

New Market Tax Credit deposits represent deposits required under our New Markets Tax Credit (See Note 11) arrangements for future interest and expense payments.
