Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 10, 2023, Danimer Scientific, Inc. (“Danimer”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The press release contains the following non-GAAP measures: “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Gross Profit”, and “Adjusted Gross Margin”. Danimer believes that each of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Gross Profit, and Adjusted Gross Margin are useful to investors in evaluating Danimer’s performance because each measure considers the performance of Danimer’s operations, excluding decisions made with respect to capital investment, financing and other non-recurring charges. Danimer believes these non-GAAP metrics offer additional financial information that, when coupled with the GAAP results and the reconciliation to GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of its results of operations and the factors and trends affecting its business. The non-GAAP measures are reconciled to comparable GAAP financial measures within the press release. Danimer cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, Danimer’s reported GAAP results. Additionally, Danimer notes that there can be no assurance that the above referenced non-GAAP financial measures are comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other publicly traded companies.

The information in this Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of Danimer, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference to such filing.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference is the form of presentation to be used by Danimer in presentations for certain of its stockholders and other persons. The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of Danimer, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference to such filing.
