Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Description of Business | Description of Business In these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refers to Codexis, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. We discover, develop, enhance, and commercialize novel, high performance enzymes and other classes of proteins leveraging our proprietary CodeEvolver® directed evolution platform. As of September 30, 2023, we reported our financial results based on two reportable segments: Performance Enzymes and Novel Biotherapeutics. Our Performance Enzymes business consists primarily of two focus areas: i) biocatalysts for the enzymatic manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and ii) enzymes for life science applications, including genomic sequencing and nucleic acid synthesis. Our Novel Biotherapeutics business includes product candidates in clinical and preclinical development. The segment information aligns with how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), reviews and manages the business. In July 2023, we announced a restructuring of our business and that we are discontinuing investment in certain development programs, primarily in Novel Biotherapeutics.
