Preliminary unaudited Foundry revenue is expected to exceed previously disclosed outlook of $100M for full year 2021, inclusive of both downstream value share and services revenue. Preliminary unaudited Biosecurity revenue is expected to exceed previous outlook of $110M for full year 2021 by over 50%. "In our Q3 earnings call Ginkgo updated our 2021 outlook on the number of new cell programs, Foundry revenue, and Biosecurity revenue - I'm happy to report that based on preliminary unaudited estimates for the full year, we expect to meet or beat all of those, with Biosecurity revenue exceeding our outlook by over 50%," said CEO Jason Kelly. "Scale is fundamental to our strategy and competitive advantage, and with over $1.6B in gross proceeds from our public debut, we believe we are well-positioned to continue to play offense in the coming years. The past year was transformational for Ginkgo, and I am grateful for the dedication of our team and the commitment of our partners in contributing to our success in 2021."
