Exhibit 99.1

五星体育直播 Reports First Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Total revenues increase 11% to $15.6 million, product revenue up 30%

Recent highlights include Third CodeEvolver^庐PlatformTechnology Agreement and Multi-Year Enzyme Supply and Licensing Agreement with Tate & Lyle for TASTEVA^庐 M Stevia Sweetener

Conference call begins at 4:30 pm Eastern time today

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. (May 6, 2019) - 五星体育直播 (Nasdaq: CDXS), a leading protein engineering company, announces financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and provides a business update.

鈥淭he start to 2019 has been exceptionally productive for 五星体育直播, highlighted by the execution of two recent significant agreements, plus the delivery of strong first quarter financial results featuring $15.6 million in total revenues and 30% year-over-year growth in product revenue,鈥� said 五星体育直播 President and CEO John Nicols.

鈥淭oday we filed a Form 8-K with the SEC detailing a CodeEvolver^庐 protein engineering platform technology transfer and licensing agreement with Novartis. It鈥檚 highly gratifying that another Top 10 pharmaceutical company has joined GlaxoSmithKline and Merck in making a long-term commitment to widely applying our CodeEvolver^庐 technology platform. That followed last week鈥檚 signing of a multi-year enzyme supply and licensing agreement with Tate & Lyle for a suite of our novel performance enzymes used in the manufacture of Tate & Lyle鈥檚 new, better-tasting, zero-calorie stevia sweetener TASTEVA^庐 M,鈥� said Mr. Nicols.

鈥淎dditionally during the first quarter, Nestl茅 Health Science exercised its option to obtain an exclusive license to CDX-6114 for the management of phenylketonuria; and yet another Top 10 pharmaceutical company secured a dedicated CodeEvolver^庐 protein engineering project team to improve its drug pipeline processes. We also saw commercialization events for our performance enzyme used in vibegron for overactive bladder with Kyorin Pharmaceutical鈥檚 product approval in Japan. In addition, we recorded more than $1 million in sales to Urovant Sciences, which reported positive topline Phase 3 results and holds the rights to vibegron in the rest of the world except China,鈥� he added.

First Quarter Financial Highlights

五星体育直播 is reporting two business segments: the Performance Enzymes segment, which consists of its protein catalyst and enzyme product and service offerings with a focus on pharmaceutical, food, molecular diagnostics and other industrial markets; and the Novel Biotherapeutics discovery and development segment.

Total revenues for the first quarter of 2019 were $15.6 million, up 11% from $14.0 million for the first quarter of 2018, with the increase primarily due to higher product revenue. Product revenue was $8.0 million, up 30% from $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2018, with the increase reflecting customer demand for enzymes for both generic and branded products. Research and development (R&D) revenue for the first quarter of 2019 was $7.6 million, compared with $7.9 million for the prior-year period. R&D revenue for the first quarter of 2019 included $2.1 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $5.5 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment. R&D revenue for the first quarter of 2018 included $4.6 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $3.3 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment.

Gross margin on product revenue for the first quarter of 2019 was 45%, up from 38% for the first quarter of 2018, with the increase due to product mix.

R&D expenses were $8.0 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared with $7.2 million for the first quarter of 2018, with the increase primarily due to higher expenses related to headcount, allocation of occupancy-related costs and increases in lab supplies and stock-based compensation, partially offset by lower outside services. R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2019 included $4.4 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $3.3 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment. R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2018 included $5.1 million from the Performance Enzymes segment and $1.9 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2019 were $8.4 million, compared with $7.7 million for the first quarter of 2018, with the increase primarily due to higher costs associated with facilities and headcount, higher consultant fees and stock-based compensation, partially offset by decreases in allocable expenses, lower outside services and accounting fees. SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2019 included $2.1 million from the Performance Enzymes segment, $0.5 million from the Novel Biotherapeutics segment and the remaining portion is included in $5.9 million in corporate overhead and depreciation expense. SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2018 included $2.1 million from the Performance Enzymes segment, $0.1 million from Novel Biotherapeutics and the remaining portion is included in $5.7 million in corporate overhead and depreciation expense.

The net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $5.1 million, or $0.09 per share, compared with a net loss for the first quarter of 2018 of $4.7 million, or $0.10 per share. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2019 was $2.8 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with a non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2018 of $2.5 million, or $0.05 per share. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures is provided below.

Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2019 were $47.3 million, compared with $53.0 million as of December 31, 2018.

2019 Financial Outlook

五星体育直播 is affirming its financial guidance for 2019, as follows:


鈥�	Total revenues are expected to be $69 million to $72 million;


鈥�	Product revenues are expected to be $26 million to $29 million; and


鈥�	Gross margin on product revenues is expected to be 48% to 52%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Consolidated financial information has been presented in accordance with GAAP as well as on a non-GAAP basis. On a non-GAAP basis, financial measures exclude the non-cash items depreciation expense and stock-based compensation expense. Non-GAAP financial measures presented are non-GAAP net loss, non-GAAP net loss per share (basic and diluted) and the non-GAAP operating expenses non-GAAP R&D expense and non-GAAP SG&A expense. Non-GAAP operating expenses exclude stock-based compensation expense and depreciation of fixed assets.

五星体育直播 management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to monitor and evaluate the Company鈥檚 operating results and trends on an ongoing basis, and internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. 五星体育直播 management believes the non-GAAP information is useful for investors by offering them the ability to identify trends in what management considers to be 五星体育直播鈥� core operating results and to better understand how management evaluates the business. These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all expenses that affect 五星体育直播. These non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, and should not be considered in isolation of, or as an alternative to, measurements required by GAAP, and therefore these non-GAAP results should only be used for evaluation in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. A description of the non-GAAP calculations and reconciliation to comparable GAAP financial measures is provided in the accompanying table entitled 鈥淩econciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.鈥�

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the following items:

(a) Depreciation expense: we provide non-GAAP information which excludes depreciation expense related to the depreciation of property and equipment. We believe that eliminating this expense from our non-GAAP measures is useful to investors, because the acquisition of property and equipment, and the corresponding depreciation expense, can be inconsistent in amount and can vary from period to period.

(b) Stock-based compensation expense: we provide non-GAAP information which excludes expenses for stock-based compensation. We believe the exclusion of this item allows for financial results that are more indicative of our operations. We also believe that the exclusion of stock-based compensation expense provides for a better comparison of 五星体育直播' operating results to prior periods as the calculations of stock-based compensation vary from period to period and company to company due to different valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types.
