1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc.'s (“Ginkgo” or the “Company”) mission is to make biology easier to engineer. Ginkgo sells tools and biological R&D services across a range of industries to government and commercial customers.
Ginkgo offers biological R&D services on our platform and Autonomous Lab to enable our customers to bring their products to market. Historically, Ginkgo’s primary service offering has been cell engineering R&D services (solutions) where Ginkgo performs technical activities. In 2024, Ginkgo expanded its service offerings to include services and lab automation equipment that provide its customers cell engineering tools for biological R&D, where Ginkgo enables its customers to conduct certain in-house R&D activities themselves. Ginkgo’s services and tools are designed to offer customers better results on the dimensions of probability of success, speed, or cost – and ideally on all three.
Our Autonomous Lab is a flexible wet lab built from our Reconfigurable Automation Cart (“RAC”) systems capable of large-scale data generation; it powers generative AI and machine learning (“ML”) tools that enable more successful biological R&D.
Discontinued Operations
On April 3, 2026, the Company completed a divestiture of its Biosecurity business, which was previously reported as a separate segment, whereby Perimeter Systems, Inc. (the “Purchaser” or “Perimeter”) issued to the Company common equity of the Purchaser representing a minority interest in the Purchaser, in exchange for substantially all of the Company’s operations comprising its Biosecurity business (the “Biosecurity Divestiture”). Refer to Note 2 for additional details on the Biosecurity Divestiture.
The Company is presenting the financial results of the Biosecurity business as discontinued operations for all periods presented within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 reflect the transferred Biosecurity assets as held for sale. Prior to the Biosecurity Divestiture, the Biosecurity business provided services to government customers who are working to identify, monitor, prevent, and mitigate biological threats.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the rules and regulations of the SEC and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain detailed disclosures which would normally be included with annual financial statements have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2025 Annual Report. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Reported amounts and disclosures reflect the overall economic conditions that management believes are most likely to occur, and the anticipated measures management intends to take. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. All revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no new or material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 2 to the Company’s 2025 consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
There were no new recently issued accounting pronouncements that are of significance or potential significance to the Company from those disclosed within Note 2 to the Company’s 2025 consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report.
2. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
On February 26, 2026, Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc. (the “Seller”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Tower Biosecurity, Inc., also known as Perimeter Systems, Inc. (the “Purchaser” or “Perimeter”), for the Biosecurity Divestiture. The transaction closed on April 3, 2026 (the “Closing Date”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Seller contributed to the Purchaser all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Ginkgo Biosecurity, LLC (“Biosecurity”), constituting substantially all of the Company's operations comprising its Biosecurity business. In exchange, the Purchaser issued to the Seller shares of its common stock representing approximately 20 % of the issued and outstanding equity of the Purchaser on a fully diluted basis. The Seller’s common equity interest in the Purchaser constituted approximately 44 % of the outstanding common equity of the Purchaser as of the Closing Date.
Concurrently, the Company and Perimeter entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) to ensure the continuity of business operations, pursuant to which the Company and Perimeter provide each other specified services on a temporary basis. The Seller provides certain services to the Purchaser, including, but not limited to, information technology access and support, certain scientific services, human resources, finance and accounting functions. The TSA is expected to conclude within 12 months of the Closing Date. The billings under the TSA are not expected to be significant.
The Biosecurity Divestiture represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The Company no longer operates in the biosecurity market since the Closing Date. The Biosecurity Divestiture meets both the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. As such, the results of operations of the Biosecurity business are presented as a single line item, “Net income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax,”on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. All prior periods presented have been recast accordingly.
Deconsolidation of the Biosecurity business occurred on the Closing Date. In connection with the deconsolidation, the Company recognized a net gain on deconsolidation of $ 24.5 million (net of the Company's equity interest contributed to Perimeter management) within in the second quarter of 2026. No cash consideration was received by the Company in connection with the Biosecurity Divestiture. The fair value of the retained equity interest in Perimeter of $ 12.3 million was determined using the Option Pricing Method (“OPM”) under a Black-Scholes framework (a Level 3 fair value measurement), which allocates equity value across Perimeter's capital structure based on the economics of each security class. Volatility was selected based on the historical equity volatility of a set of comparable guideline public companies and a discount for lack of marketability was applied.
Following deconsolidation, the Company accounts for its retained approximately 44 % common equity interest in Perimeter using the equity method of accounting. The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Perimeter through its common equity ownership and rights under the Stockholders Agreement. The Company will recognize its proportionate share of Perimeter's operation, equaling approximately 44 %.
In connection with the Biosecurity Divestiture, approximately 30 % of Perimeter's equity was issued to Perimeter management previously employed by Ginkgo. In accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 710, the fair value of the Perimeter equity awarded to Perimeter management (approximately $ 15.4 million) was recognized as compensation expense in the second quarter of 2026. This amount is presented within discontinued operations on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The management compensation tranche was measured at fair value on the Closing Date using the same Option Pricing Method applied to value the Company's common equity interest in Perimeter.

3. Restructuring
In the second quarter of 2024, in connection with the Company’s plans to reduce operational expenditures, management, with the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors, approved and commenced a restructuring plan. This plan included a reduction in labor expenses, primarily through a workforce reduction of more than 50 %, and the consolidation and subleasing of certain facilities. Initial workforce reductions commenced in June 2024 and substantially concluded by December 31, 2025. The Company plans to consolidate certain facilities through various actions, including combining office and laboratory operations into fewer locations, subleasing unused or underutilized facilities. While the Company has substantially completed the majority of its facility consolidation actions with excess space available for sublease, the subleasing of unused or underutilized facilities is expected to extend at least throughout 2026 and may not occur prior to termination of such lease, depending on market conditions.
The Company is currently unable to estimate the costs associated with consolidating its facilities. These costs may include, but are not limited to, losses on subleases, contract terminations, asset impairments, sale or disposal of equipment or other long-lived assets, and related costs and fees pertaining to the consolidation, closure, or disposition of facilities. Additional charges may be incurred as the Company progresses its restructuring plan and such charges could be material.

Notes Receivable
For all of its notes receivable, the Company has elected the fair value option, under which changes in fair value are recorded in other income (expense), net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company holds a senior secured note in the original principal amount of $ 11.8 million issued by Bolt Threads, Inc. (“Bolt”), which bears interest at 12 % per annum, is due December 31, 2027, and is included in other non-current assets at its estimated fair value.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Bolt disclosed it ceased operations. Any proceeds recovered from the Bolt note as the result of a potential disposition of Bolt assets are expected to be immaterial. As such, during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reduced the carrying value of the senior secured note to zero.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company used a discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of the senior secured note, incorporating significant unobservable inputs such as the recovery rate, a risk-adjusted discount rate, and a potential settlement scenario.
The Company also held a series of convertible debt instruments issued by customers as payment for cell engineering services. The Company used a scenario-based method to value the convertible debt instruments. Under this method, future cash flows are evaluated under various payoff scenarios, probability-weighted, and discounted to present value. The significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs used in the fair value measurement as of December 31, 2025 included scenario probabilities ranging from 5 % to 45 %, a discount rate of 15.5 % and estimated time to event date of approximately one year . Significant changes in these inputs could have resulted in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s convertible notes receivable had an unpaid principal balance of $ 7.5 million and a fair value of zero , compared to an unpaid principal balance of $ 9.7 million and a fair value of $ 0.5 million as of December 31, 2025.
Contingent Consideration
In connection with various business acquisitions, the Company is required to make contingent earnout payments payable upon the achievement of certain technical, commercial and/or performance milestones. The Company also issued restricted stock in connection with acquisitions, which is subject to vesting conditions and is classified as contingent consideration liability.

(unaudited)
The Company may settle a majority of its contingent consideration liabilities in either cash or shares of Class A common stock, at its discretion, with the remainder payable in cash. No contingent consideration liabilities were settled during the six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025, respectively.
The fair value of contingent consideration related to earnout payments from acquisitions was estimated using unobservable (Level 3) inputs as illustrated in the table below. The fair value of contingent consideration related to restricted stock was estimated using the quoted price of Ginkgo’s Class A common stock, an estimate of the number of shares expected to vest, probability of vesting, and a discount rate. Material increases or decreases in these inputs could result in a higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 inputs used in the fair value measurements of contingent consideration liabilities as of the periods presented:
June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025
Contingent Consideration Liability Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range Range
Earnout payments (FGen and Dutch DNA acquisitions) Probability-weighted present value Probability of payment 5 % - 10 %
5 % - 10 %
Discount rate 21.3 %
14.9 %
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures the fair value of certain assets, including investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values, on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable and when observable price changes occur for identical or similar security of the same issuer.
The fair value of non-marketable equity securities is classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy when the Company estimates fair value using unobservable inputs to measure the amount of the impairment loss. The fair value of non-marketable equity securities is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy when the Company estimates fair value using the observable transaction price paid by third party investors for the identical or similar security of the same issuer.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded no impairment losses related to its investments in the preferred stock of privately held companies. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment of $ 1.8 million related to an investment in the preferred stock of a privately held company after concluding that the investment had substantially no value. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded no impairment losses related to its investments in the preferred stock of privately held companies.
No impairment losses related to Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFEs”) were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 or 2025, respectively.

securities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company’s non-marketable equity securities consist of preferred stock of Genomatica and preferred and common stock of other privately held companies without readily determinable fair values. Non-marketable equity securities are initially recorded using the measurement alternative at cost and subsequently adjusted for any impairment and observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar security of the same issuer. Impairment losses and adjustments from observable price changes are recorded in loss on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The Company also holds investments in early-stage synthetic biology product companies via SAFEs. The Company entered into SAFEs in conjunction with a revenue contract with a customer under which the Company grants the customer a prepaid cell engineering services credit equal to the principal amount of the SAFE (the “Purchase Amount”), which may be used and drawn down as payment for the Company’s research and development services. The SAFEs will automatically convert into shares of preferred stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the discount price, which is calculated as the price per share sold in a qualified equity financing multiplied by a discount rate. The SAFEs also provide the Company with the right to future equity of the entity in a liquidation scenario or the cash-out amount in liquidation and dissolution scenarios or at the election of the SAFE issuer prior to an agreed outside date. The Company initially records SAFEs at fair value (see Note 4 ) and adjusts the carrying amount of the instrument at each reporting period for any impairments.

7. Variable Interest Entities
With respect to the Company’s investments in Perimeter, Motif, Allonnia, Genomatica, Arcaea, BiomEdit, Verb Biotics, and Ayana Bio, the Company has concluded these entities represent variable interest entities (such entities, the “VIEs”).

(unaudited)
While the Company has board representation on certain of these entities and is involved in the ongoing development activities of these entities via its participation on such entities’ joint steering committees (“JSC”), the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities because: (i) the Company does not control the board of directors of any of the VIEs, and no voting or consent agreements exist between the Company and other members of each respective board of directors or other investors, (ii) the holders of preferred security interests in the VIEs hold certain rights that require their consent prior to taking certain actions, which include certain significant operating and financing decisions, and (iii) the Company’s representation on the JSC of each respective entity does not give it control over the development activities of any of the VIEs, as all JSC decisions are made by consensus and there are no agreements in place that would require any of the entities to vote in alignment with the Company. As the Company’s involvement in the VIEs does not give it the power to control the decisions with respect to their development or other activities, which are their most significant activities, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs.
Additionally, the Company holds equity interests in certain privately-held companies that are not consolidated as the Company is not the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the maximum risk of loss related to the VIEs was limited to the carrying value of its investments in such entities.

Industrial and environment 2 4 4 5
Total revenue 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 %
Revenue includes both cash and non-cash consideration. The non-cash consideration primarily consists of equity received from customers as partial or full payment in certain contracts, which is recognized as revenue as services are provided or upon contract termination. The Company did not receive equity as consideration for any customer contracts entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, but continues to recognize non-cash revenue from prior contracts. Revenue recognized relating to non-cash consideration was $ 0.8 million and $ 1.2 million for the three months ended and June 30, 2026, and 2025 respectively, and $ 1.3 million and $ 9.9 million for the six months ended and June 30, 2026, and 2025 respectively.
The Company’s total revenue is primarily generated from customers located in the United States. For the three months ended months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, U.S. customers accounted for 83 % and 79 %, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, U.S. customers accounted for 74 % and 80 %, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, customers from Denmark accounted for 11 % and 11 %, respectively.

balance of unbilled accounts receivable, included in accounts receivable, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, was $ 7.4 million and $ 14.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Contract liabilities, or deferred revenue, primarily consist of payments received in advance of performance under the contract or when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under the terms of the contract before it transfers goods or services to the customer. The Company’s collaborative arrangements with its investees and related parties typically include upfront payments consisting of cash or non-cash consideration for future research and development services and non-cash consideration in the form of convertible financial instruments and equity securities for licenses that will be transferred in the future. The Company records the upfront cash payments and fair value of the convertible financial instruments and equity securities as deferred revenue.
The Company also invoices customers based on contractual billing schedules, which results in the recording of deferred revenue to the extent payment is received prior to the Company’s performance of the related services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $ 13.4 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance of $ 94.1 million as of December 31, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized $ 35.6 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance of $ 126.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
Performance Obligations
The aggregate amount of the transaction price that was allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied or are partially satisfied as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $ 113.0 million and $ 136.8 million, respectively. The Company has elected the practical expedient not to provide the remaining performance obligation disclosures related to contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue on a cost-plus basis in the amount to which it has the right to invoice. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $ 8.9 million of the unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations is expected to be recognized as revenue in 2026, based on the projected customer program end dates; $ 35.2 million between 2026 and 2027; $ 61.6 million between 2026 and 2028; $ 3.4 million between 2026 and 2029; and $ 3.9 million between 2026 and 2030.
13. Segment Information
As a result of the Biosecurity Divestiture (Note 2 ), the Company manages its operations as a single operating and reportable segment. This structure reflects the Company’s internal management framework and the approach its Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) uses to evaluate operating results and allocate resources.
The Company’s reportable segment is that for which discrete financial information is available and whose results are regularly provided to the Company’s CODM, consisting of the Chief Executive Officer and the President, for the purpose of allocating resources and assessing financial performance. The CODM evaluates the financial performance of the Company’s segment based on loss from continuing operations before income taxes. The CODM is primarily provided with loss from continuing operations before income taxes on a quarterly basis, as well as during the annual budgeting and forecasting process, and uses this information to monitor the Company’s performance, including budget-to-actual results, and to make decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources. The Company has determined its significant segment expenses are cost of revenue, research and development expenses, and general and administrative expenses (exclusive of certain costs and expenses), which are regularly provided to the CODM.
The CODM is not provided with asset information; therefore, such information is not presented. The accounting policies used to prepare the reportable segments financial information are the same as those used to prepare the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The classification of costs differs from the presentation in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as described below.
