LanzaTech Q3 2024 Earnings Report

Financial results reported for Q3 2024, outlook updated for 2024, and business model expanded to accelerate revenue growth.

Key Takeaways

LanzaTech reported a disappointing Q3 2024 with revenue of $9.9 million, missing financial targets due to a delay in a LanzaJet sublicensing event and softer ethanol pricing. However, the company announced a long-term off-take agreement with ArcelorMittal and advanced Project Drake, positioning it for greater upside.

Announced a two-stage ethanol off-take agreement with ArcelorMittal, including contracts for one-year and five-year terms.

Announced Project Drake, a 30 million gallon per year, EU-based, ethanol-to-sustainable aviation fuel project, with a financing commitment expected by the end of 2024.

Reported revenue of $9.9 million for third-quarter 2024, compared to $19.6 million for third-quarter 2023, with the decrease driven by timing delay in anticipated LanzaJet sublicensing event and higher engineering services revenue in the prior year.
