Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 4, 2015, Gevo, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s second quarter 2015 financial results. This press release contained an error related to the calculation of the Company’s non-cash loss related to inducement payments made in connection with exercises of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued in December 2013 and August 2014. As a result, the Company’s net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was overstated by $3.4 million.

To correct this error, we are revising the information we provided in the press release we issued on August 4, 2015 as follows:

Financial Highlights

Reports EPS of ($1.10) for the second quarter

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, a $1.8 million non-cash gain was recognized from inducement payments made in connection with exercises of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued in December 2013 and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock issued in August 2014. This is the result of the fair value of the derivative warrant liability plus cash received for the warrants being greater than the fair value of the shares issued upon exercise.

The net loss for the second quarter of 2015 was $14.4 million, compared with $17.2 million during the same period in 2014.
