LanzaTech Global Plunges 12.2% Amid Earnings Concerns

On June 9, 2025, LanzaTech Global experienced a significant drop of 12.2% in pre-market trading, reflecting a notable decline in investor sentiment.

LanzaTech Global recently appointed Sushmita Koyanagi as its new Chief Financial Officer, a move that could signal strategic changes within the company's financial management. Additionally, the company has amended its loan agreements and preferred stock agreement, indicating efforts to optimize its financial structure.

LanzaTech's first-quarter earnings report showed a loss of 10 cents per share, compared to a loss of 13 cents per share in the same period last year. The company's revenue guidance for the fourth quarter of 2024 is approximately $70 million, bringing the full-year revenue to around $108 million, which is above the previous guidance of $90-105 million. However, the company's gross margins have declined from 68% in the second quarter of 2024 to 18% in the third quarter, raising concerns about its operational efficiency.

Despite these challenges, LanzaTech has been proactive in shoring up its liquidity with $40 million in convertible notes, which could provide a financial cushion during uncertain times. The company is also expanding its partnership strategy to collaborate with capital providers, aiming to accelerate project development and achieve financial close.
