LanzaTech Announces Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Financial Results
LanzaTech (NASDAQ: LNZA) reported declining financial results for Q4 and full-year 2024. Q4 revenue dropped to $12.0 million from $20.5 million in Q4 2023, while full-year revenue decreased to $49.6 million from $62.6 million in 2023.
The company's net loss widened to $27.0 million in Q4 2024 and $137.7 million for the full year. The decline was primarily attributed to completed engineering projects and timing delays in several large biorefining initiatives, including Project Drake in the EU and Norway site development.

LanzaTech (NASDAQ: LNZA)는 2024년 4분기 및 연간 재무 실적이 하락했다고 보고했습니다. 4분기 매출은 2023년 4분기 2,050만 달러에서 1,200만 달러로 감소했으며, 연간 매출은 2023년 6,260만 달러에서 4,960만 달러로 줄었습니다.
회사의 순손실은 2024년 4분기에 2,700만 달러, 연간으로는 1억 3,770만 달러로 확대되었습니다. 이러한 감소는 주로 완료된 엔지니어링 프로젝트와 EU의 드레이크 프로젝트 및 노르웨이 부지 개발을 포함한 여러 대규모 바이오정제 프로젝트의 일정 지연 때문입니다.
주요 내용은 다음과 같습니다:
- CarbonSmart™ 매출이 2023년 4분기 대비 2024년 4분기에 88% 성장
- 2024년 4분기 총이익률 54% 달성

LanzaTech (NASDAQ : LNZA) a annoncé des résultats financiers en baisse pour le quatrième trimestre et l'année complète 2024. Le chiffre d'affaires du quatrième trimestre est tombé à 12,0 millions de dollars contre 20,5 millions au quatrième trimestre 2023, tandis que le chiffre d'affaires annuel a diminué à 49,6 millions de dollars contre 62,6 millions en 2023.
La perte nette de la société s'est creusée à 27,0 millions de dollars au quatrième trimestre 2024 et à 137,7 millions de dollars sur l'année complète.

CHICAGO, April 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LanzaTech Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNZA) (“LanzaTech” or the “Company”), a carbon management solutions company, today filed its annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”).
Key Takeaways:
- Reported total revenue of
$12.0 million for fourth-quarter 2024 as compared to$20.5 million for fourth-quarter 2023. The decrease was driven primarily by fourth-quarter 2023 benefiting from engineering services performed across several projects which were subsequently completed. Fourth-quarter 2024 revenue was within the forecasted range of potential outcomes previously provided, albeit at the low end of the range due to continued timing delays with several large biorefining projects that remain underway. - Reported revenue of
$49.6 million for full-year 2024 as compared to$62.6 million for full-year 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by 2023 results benefiting from projects that have since reached the completion of their current development phase, coupled with timing delays related to several large biorefining projects experienced throughout 2024. - Shifting the Company's core operational focus from research and development to global deployment LanzaTech's commercially proven technology is underway, with actions being taken to sharpen the business focus and improve the Company's cost structure.
- Evaluating liquidity enhancing initiatives, including capital raising, partnership or asset-related opportunities, and other strategic options. Management has concluded that these initiatives and cost reduction plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, per applicable GAAP requirements.

Revenue
- Reported total revenue of
$12.0 million and$49.6 million for fourth-quarter and full-year 2024, respectively, as compared to total revenue of$20.5 million and$62.6 million for fourth-quarter and full-year 2023, respectively. The decrease during both periods was driven primarily by 2023 results benefiting from engineering and other services contracts with existing customers and government entities whose projects have since reached completion of their current development phase. Additionally, several large projects experienced timing delays during 2024, which impacted their transferring to the phase where revenue is recognized. Fourth-quarter 2024 revenues were within the forecasted range of potential outcomes previously provided, albeit at the low end of the range due to the aforementioned project delays. Two key projects that did not transfer to a third party, the phase in which revenues are recognized for these projects, were Project Drake in the European Union, and LanzaTech's site under development in Norway. In addition, LanzaTech continues to expect additional LanzaJet shares to be issued with sublicensing events of LanzaJet's alcohol-to-jet technology. These projects remain underway during 2025. Fourth-quarter 2024 results include revenue attributable to Project SECURE, which, in December of 2024, was awarded Department of Energy funding for the initiation of phase one of the project. Project SECURE is led by Technip Energies, in partnership with LanzaTech. - Joint Development Agreement (“JDA”) & Contract Research revenue for fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 was
$1.7 million and$10.6 million , respectively, as compared to$4.2 million and$14.6 million for fourth-quarter and full-year 2023, respectively. The year-over-year decline in both cases was attributable to certain government projects being completed, compounded by a period of downtime prior to new projects commencing, primarily during the second half of 2024. - CarbonSmart™ revenue for fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 was
$3.9 million and$7.9 million , respectively, as compared to$2.1 million and$5.3 million for fourth-quarter and full-year 2023, respectively. Fourth-quarter 2024 revenues increased by 88 percent as compared to fourth-quarter 2023 due to incremental direct fuel sales as a result of establishing licensing arrangements, partners, and supply chain infrastructure during third-quarter 2024.
Cost of Revenue
- Fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 cost of revenue was
$5.6 million and$26.0 million , respectively, as compared to$12.0 million and$45.0 million for fourth-quarter and full-year 2023, respectively. Cost of revenue for fourth-quarter 2024 was largely comprised of the cost of the CarbonSmart product sold and headcount allocations related to the delivery of biorefining services and JDA work. Gross margin for fourth-quarter 2024 was 54 percent largely as a function of revenue mix, including additional lower-margin CarbonSmart sales.
Operating Expenses
- Fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 operating expenses were
$33.5 million and$132.6 million , respectively, as compared to$27.1 million and$124.0 million for fourth-quarter and full-year 2023. The increase year-over-year was driven primarily by project-related expenses, like those incurred for Project Drake and LanzaTech’s project in Norway, that are expected to be recovered once the projects advance to Final Investment Decision (“FID”).
Net Loss
- Fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 net losses were
$27.0 million and$137.7 million , respectively, as compared to fourth-quarter and full-year 2023 net losses of$18.7 million and$134.1 million , respectively. The increase was attributable to a non-cash expense on financial instruments, as well as the same factors that drove the reduction in revenue as compared to prior periods.
Adjusted EBITDA Loss
- Fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 adjusted EBITDA losses were
$21.2 million and$88.2 million , respectively, as compared to adjusted EBITDA losses of$19.6 million and$80.1 million for fourth-quarter and full-year 2023, respectively. The increases in losses year-over-year are mainly attributable to the same factors that drove the reduction in revenue for the comparative periods.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial statements presented in accordance with US GAAP and to provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, we have presented adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by US GAAP and is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
We define adjusted EBITDA as our net loss, excluding the impact of depreciation, interest income, net, stock-based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liabilities, change in fair value of SAFE liabilities, change in fair value of the FPA Put Option liability and Fixed Maturity Consideration, change in fair value of our outstanding convertible note, transaction costs on issuance of Forward Purchase Agreement, (loss) gain from equity method investees and other one-time costs related to the Business Combination and securities registration on Form S-4 and our registration statement on Form S-1. We monitor adjusted EBITDA because it is a key measure used by our management and Board of Directors to understand and evaluate our operating performance, to establish budgets, and to develop operational goals for managing our business. We believe adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of certain expenses that we include in net loss. Accordingly, we believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors, analysts, and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results and enhancing the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects.
Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with US GAAP and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with US GAAP. There are a number of limitations related to the use of adjusted EBITDA rather than net loss, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with US GAAP. For example, adjusted EBITDA: (i) excludes stock-based compensation expense because it is a significant non-cash expense that is not directly related to our operating performance; (ii) excludes depreciation expense and, although this is a non-cash expense, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future; (iii) excludes gain or losses on equity method investee; and (iv) excludes certain income or expense items that do not provide a comparable measure of our business performance. In addition, the expenses and other items that we exclude in our calculations of adjusted EBITDA may differ from the expenses and other items, if any, that other companies may exclude from adjusted EBITDA when they report their operating results. In addition, other companies may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison.
