About this update from Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc.

Ginkgo provides an update on its fourth quarter financial results BOSTON, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DNA, "Ginkgo") today announced its results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025. The update, including a webcast slide presentation with additional details on the third quarter, as well as supplemental financial information will be available at investors.ginkgobioworks.com. Fourth Quarter 2025 Financial Results "This year, we are going to focus on investing to win in the category of autonomous labs," said Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks. "There is an emerging wave of interest in robotics and AI, and our work with the Department of Energy and OpenAI this year shows that Ginkgo is in the best position to bring robotics to an extraordinarily high value area: laboratory research." Full Year 2025 Financial Results Biosecurity Business Divestiture Ginkgo today announced it has reached an agreement to sell the Company's biosecurity business to a consortium of investors ("Investors") in exchange for a minority equity position in the business alongside the Investors. Upon completion, the biosecurity business will operate as a standalone private entity focused on building a scaled, biosecurity infrastructure platform for the United States and its global partners. The transaction provides the biosecurity business with greater flexibility and additional resources to pursue near- and long-term growth opportunities. Per Ginkgo CEO Jason Kelly, "There is rising interest in defense tech in private capital markets and spinning off our biosecurity business into a private entity with new investors allows it to grow faster with more investment than it would inside Ginkgo. This serves Ginkgo in two ways: we are able to participate in the upside of the new entity as a shareholder but importantly we also focus Ginkgo's cash investment on our autonomous labs business." Ginkgo expects to complete the transaction in the first half of 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
