Insights

Financial Analyst

Origin Materials' Q4 report paints a mixed financial picture with significant future potential counterbalanced by current challenges. The company reported Q4 revenue of $9.2 million, down from $13.1 million year-over-year, while full-year revenue increased to $31.3 million from $28.8 million. Their Q4 net loss widened to $13.5 million and alarming full-year losses ballooned to $83.7 million compared to a $23.8 million profit last year.

The company's transformation into a closures manufacturing business shows promise but faces execution hurdles. Origin has delayed its EBITDA-positive timeline to end-2026 from the previously guided first half of 2026, citing production delays. However, the projected 2026 revenue of $110-140 million signals substantial growth potential, with the company expecting to deploy eight CapFormer lines by end-2025.

What's particularly noteworthy is Origin's financial strategy - arranging debt financing for capital equipment while maintaining their $102.9 million cash position without additional equity raises. This approach makes sense given the attractive unit economics: mid-double-digit gross margins for caps, mid-single-digit millions in capital costs per line, and payback periods under 18 months per CapFormer line.

The timing of revenue realization is important - meaningful revenue generation is expected by Q4 2025, creating a strong exit run-rate. The business model combines manufacturing with potential licensing revenue in a $65 billion annual caps and closures market, protected by over 70 issued patents. This positions Origin to potentially capture significant market share if they can successfully scale production to meet what management describes as demand exceeding their fulfillment capability for several years.

Manufacturing Specialist

Origin's manufacturing deployment strategy represents the critical determinant of their financial turnaround. The company has successfully commenced commercial production on their first CapFormer line in Reed City, Michigan, with capacity to produce hundreds of millions of PET caps annually. While production started later than initially planned, they've maintained their ambitious target of eight operational lines by end-2025.

The staggered rollout approach for the next three CapFormer lines shows manufacturing pragmatism, allowing them to incorporate improvements into subsequent designs. These modifications should theoretically increase throughput and improve unit economics - important for achieving their projected margins. Their contingency planning is evident in the expansion of manufacturing relationships to ensure redundancy and additional capacity.

What's technically significant is Origin's proprietary CapForming method, which enables production of fully recyclable 100% PET caps with unique performance characteristics competitors reportedly cannot duplicate. This manufacturing advantage is reinforced by their growing IP portfolio, which now includes specialized patents for single and double-walled closures, knurled and threaded closures, and thermoforming methods.

The company faces a classic manufacturing scale-up challenge: balancing capital efficiency with speed-to-market. Their consideration of vertical integration through PET extruder acquisition versus partner-based extrusion highlights this tension. The <18-month payback period per line suggests strong unit economics, but requires flawless execution in qualifying products with major brands, many of which are currently evaluating Origin's caps, with retail products expected on shelves by Q3 2025. The qualification process and transition from sample production to consistent commercial manufacturing represents the most significant operational risk in their current trajectory.

– On Track for Eight CapFormer Lines in 2025, Ramping to 2026 Revenue Expectation of $110M to $140M –

– Projecting Run-Rate EBITDA Positive in 2026 –

– Arranging Debt Financing to Ramp Manufacturing Capacity and Maintain Healthy Cash Floor, No Additional Equity Capital Anticipated –

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Origin Materials, Inc. (“Origin,” “Origin Materials,” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ORGN, ORGNW), a technology company with a mission to enable the world’s transition to sustainable materials, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

“This year was transformational for Origin and Q4 was an inflection point for our caps and closures business,” said Origin CEO and Co-Founder John Bissell. “In 2024 we introduced the world to the first fully recyclable 100% PET cap. In Q4, we finished fabrication of our first PET cap manufacturing line and have since turned on commercial production. In February 2025, we announced three new CapFormers are nearing completion, and we expect them to complete factory acceptance testing during Q2. We also confirmed we expect to have eight CapFormer lines online by the end of 2025. Simply put, we are deploying CapFormers as fast as practical to address the substantial and growing customer demand for our products. Our team is now laser focused on Origin’s transformation into a closures manufacturing organization with healthy revenue and margins. In recent weeks, we have made millions of caps, many of which are now in the hands of some of the largest and most famous brands in the world to continue their qualification procedures and although these qualification shipments will not count as sales, they do demonstrate significant and important commercial pull-through. We look forward to naming customers in the weeks or months ahead. Many customers prefer to make an announcement as they draw nearer to having their products with Origin caps on shelves, which we anticipate taking place in Q3 or potentially as soon as late Q2.”

Bissell added: “As we stand up manufacturing, continuous improvement is the rule.” Forthcoming lines are expected to incorporate Origin design modifications to increase throughput and result in superior unit economics. To reiterate and expand on our previous guidance: we expect gross margins for caps in the mid double-digits and capital cost per line to end up in the mid-single digit millions. To further improve margins, we may also choose to acquire PET extruders for installations where we believe vertical integration is optimal versus renting extrusion or purchasing sheet from our manufacturing partners. We anticipate the payback period for the average CapFormer line, separate from any extruders, to be less than 18 months. We plan to stand up additional Origin CapFormer lines at a roughly similar pace to our 2025 deployment in 2026, accelerating as capital allows. We also expect full-year 2026 revenue of $110M to $140M, separate from potential licensing revenue.”

Lastly, Origin is updating guidance for expected profitability timing primarily due to a delayed start to line 1 commercial production and the subsequent impact on timing for lines 2 through 8: We now expect to achieve EBITDA positive results on a run-rate basis by the end of 2026, updated from the first half of 2026. Bissell continued: “The fundamentals of our business are strong, including substantial demand for the product, high barriers to entry, and strong strategic interest in Origin across customers and partners. We are increasingly in the enviable position of having indicative demand that significantly exceeds our fulfillment capability for several years to come. Our bigger challenge is to bring supply online as fast as practical to better meet demand and gain market share. We continue to make strides pursuing the opportunity to convert a meaningful amount of market share in the $65B annual caps and closure market to Origin’s PET caps.”

Company Fourth Quarter and Recent Business Highlights

Origin Materials reported quarterly revenue of $9.2 million generated by the Company’s supply chain activation program. The Company also made significant progress in commercializing its caps and closures business.

• We announced the commencement of PET cap commercial production. We expect our first CapFormer line, in Reed City, Michigan, to produce hundreds of millions of PET caps each year. With the commencement of line 1 production, we anticipate many strategic benefits will be open to us, including more favorable equipment financing terms, more demand for our products, and increased interest in licensing.
• We confirmed that three new CapFormer lines are nearing completion, maintaining our target of having eight lines online by the end of 2025. These new systems will be completed and rolled out on a staggered basis. We have also successfully expanded our CapFormer manufacturing relationships in order to ensure redundancy and additional capacity.
• We are providing more information on timing to revenue realization. Following commencement of commercial production mid-February we have increased our ability to perform customer qualification. We expect to begin realizing caps revenue in earnest concurrently with our next three lines commencing production and customer order fulfillment during Q3, with meaningful revenue generation by Q4 of this year and a strong 2025 exit revenue run-rate. Similarly, we expect the first products with Origin caps to appear on shelves in Q3 2025 or potentially as early as late Q2 2025.
• We are in the process of securing debt financing to fund our capital equipment build-out and working capital needs to maintain a healthy minimum cash floor at all times. The expected short payback period per line makes for an attractive financing opportunity for lenders, and we are curating a number of financing proposals for all lines we have on order and in production. We do not anticipate needing to raise equity capital to finance our growth.
• We significantly enhanced our IP portfolio, deepening Origin’s technology advantage. Our patent portfolio now comprises over 70 issued patents, as well as dozens of pending applications. In January 2025, five applications published covering single and double-walled closures, knurled and threaded closures, and methods of making our closures via thermoforming. Origin’s IP lets us make a new, lighter, better-performing cap than our competitors can make, using a proprietary CapForming method our competitors can't duplicate.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the Company’s financial results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), the Company also uses non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, as supplemental measures to review and assess the Company’s operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss adjusted for (i) stock-based compensation, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) impairment of assets, (iv) investment income, (v) interest expenses, (vi) change in fair value of derivatives, (vii) change in fair value of common stock warrants liability, (viii) change in fair value of earnout liability, (ix) other expenses (income), net, (x) income tax expenses (benefits) and (xi) cash severance.

The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-routine items that the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items that are not core to the Company’s operations. Further, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of operating profitability because the Company uses it for evaluating the Company’s business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing the Company’s operating performance, investors should not consider them in isolation. In addition, calculations of this non-GAAP financial information may be different from calculations used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited.

The Company mitigates these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP performance measures, all of which should be considered when evaluating our performance.

For more information on Adjusted EBITDA, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results” set forth at the end of this press release.
