cannot rest in our preparation for threats – accidental or intentional.

Like the rest of the world, Emergent transitioned into the post-pandemic environment in 2022, taking  

bold and decisive actions to invest in our core Products and Services businesses. In December, we 

announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had accepted for Priority Review our 

supplemental New Drug Application to switch NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray 4 mg, our opioid 

overdose treatment, to over-the-counter (OTC). On March 29th, the FDA approved our application,

anthrax vaccines and treatments. In September, we closed the deal to acquire TEMBEXA® (brincidofovir), 

an FDA-approved oral antiviral for the treatment of smallpox, and completed two deliveries to the 

Strategic National Stockpile by the end of the year. And, in June, we announced the FDA’s acceptance of 

our Biologics License Application for AV7909 (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, Adjuvanted), our new anthrax 

vaccine candidate. In 2019, the AV7909 vaccine was granted pre-Emergency Use Authorization (pre-EUA) 

status by the FDA, and since then, the U.S. government has been procuring this product for the Strategic 

National Stockpile. We will work on transitioning this product, if approved, to post-approval  

procurement in 2023.

Additionally, we invested in our operational, quality and compliance systems and enhanced our technical 

capabilities and expertise across all our manufacturing sites. These investments will take time to yield 

dividends, but will strengthen the company’s global manufacturing operations so that Emergent can

While we are pleased with these accomplishments, 2022 handed us a fair share of challenges that we 

are addressing with strength and resolve to further position the company for success and growth at rates

restructure and extend our debt obligations, and to complete the sale of our Travel Health business that  

we announced recently. We look forward to delivering on these as well as the aforementioned priorities  

to enable positive outcomes for all stakeholders – patients, customers, employees, equity investors, and 

debt capital providers.

I am proud of the Emergent team’s dedication to protecting and enhancing life. Threats to public health  

are real and Emergent is one of a few companies wholly committed to helping governments prepare for  

and respond to those threats.

PART I 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS 

OVERVIEW 

We are a global life sciences company focused on providing innovative preparedness and response solutions 
addressing accidental, deliberate and naturally occurring public health threats (“PHTs”). Our solutions include a 
product  portfolio,  a  product  development  portfolio,  and  a  contract  development  and  manufacturing  (“CDMO”) 
services portfolio. The types of PHTs we are currently addressing are focused on the following five categories: 

•

•

•

•

•

chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives (“CBRNE”); 

emerging infectious diseases (“EID”); 

travel health, which we have agreed to sell to Bavarian Nordic, as described below; 

public  health  crises  (such  as  the  opioid  crisis  and  the  Coronavirus  Disease  2019  (“COVID-19”) 
pandemic); and 

acute, emergency, and community care. 

Our revenues are derived from a combination of the sale and procurement of our product/product candidate 
portfolio (described below), the provision of our CDMO services to external customers, and non-dilutive contract 
and grant funding for research and development (“R&D”) projects from various third-party sources. 

OUR OPERATING SEGMENTS 

Beginning in 2022, we report financial results for our business under the following two operating segments: 

•

•

our Products Segment consisting of Government—MCM and Commercial products; and 

our Services Segment consisting of our CDMO services portfolio. 

Additionally, we have a centralized R&D organization and an enterprise-wide governance approach to managing 
our portfolio of R&D projects. 

Products Segment 

Government—MCM Products 

Our  Government—MCM  business  focuses  primarily  on  procurement  of  MCM  products  and  procured 
product candidates by domestic and international government customers, with an emphasis on the United States 
(“U.S.”) Government (“USG”), which is our largest customer. We also sell MCM products and procured product 
candidates to domestic and international non-government organizations and to governments outside of the U.S. 

Commercial Products 

In the U.S. and international  markets, our Commercial  business primarily  focuses on sales of NARCAN® 
(naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray and our travelers’ vaccines. NARCAN® Nasal Spray is sold commercially through 
physician-directed  or  standing  order  prescriptions  at  retail  pharmacies  and  to  state  and  local  governments  and 
first  responders  including  police,  firefighters  and  emergency  medical  teams.  Our  travelers’  vaccines  include 
Vaxchora® (Cholera Vaccine, Live, Oral) and Vivotif® (Typhoid Vaccine Live Oral Ty21a), which are approved 
for  use  in  the  U.S.  and  other  territories,  and  are  sold  primarily  to  travel  clinics,  retail  pharmacies,  vaccination 
centers, health departments, and integrated hospital networks. 

3 

On February 15, 2023, we entered into the Sale Agreement with Bavarian Nordic, under which we agreed to 
sell  our  travel  health  business,  including  rights  to  Vaxchora  and  Vivotif,  as  well  as  our  development-stage 
chikungunya  vaccine  candidate  CHIKV  VLP,  our  manufacturing  site  in  Bern,  Switzerland  and  certain  of  our 
development  facilities  in  San  Diego,  California  for  a  cash  purchase  price  of  $270.0  million,  subject  to  certain 
customary  adjustments.  In  addition,  we  may  receive  milestone  payments  of  up  to  $80.0  million  related  to  the 
development of CHIKV VLP and receipt of marketing  approval and authorization  in the U.S. and Europe, and 
sales-based milestones payments of up to $30.0 million based on aggregate net sales of Vaxchora and Vivotif in 
calendar  year  2026.  Approximately  280  employees  are  expected  to  join  Bavarian  Nordic  as  part  of  the 
transaction. 

The  transaction  is  expected  to  close  in  the  second  quarter  of  2023,  subject  to  certain  customary  closing 
conditions,  including  (1)  the  expiration  or  earlier  termination  of  the  applicable  waiting  period  under  the  Hart-
Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (2) receipt of required clearances and approvals 
under  Spain’s  competition  laws,  (3)  receipt  of  certain  Swiss  real  property  approvals,  (4)  no  material  adverse 
effect having occurred with respect to the business, and (5) certain other customary conditions. 

Services Segment 

CDMO Services 

Our  portfolio  of  CDMO  services  consists  of  three  distinct  but  interrelated  service  pillars:  development 
services  (process  and  analytical  development);  drug  substance  manufacturing;  and  drug  product  manufacturing 
(fill/finish).  These  services,  which  we  collectively  refer  to  as  a  “molecule-to-market”  offering,  employ  diverse 
technology  platforms  across  a  network  of  development  and  manufacturing  sites  operated  by  us.  These  CDMO 
services support all phases of the drug development life cycle, from pre-clinical development programs through 
commercial  manufacturing  of  approved  pharmaceutical  products.  The  customer  base  for  CDMO  services  is 
primarily innovators in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical segments. 

OUR STRATEGY 

In the second half of 2022, we conducted an evaluation of our corporate performance relative to our 2020-
2024 Strategic Plan and of changes to the external environment in which the Company operates. We decided to 
replace the 2020-2024 Strategic Plan with a new three-year strategy (2023-2025). Our management believes this 
three-year plan is necessary to strengthen the Company’s financial position and adapt to new strategic priorities. 
We  expect  that  this  strategy  will  refocus  the  business  and  increase  the  Company’s  ability  to  make  more 
aggressive investments for future growth. 

For 2023-2025, our priorities will align with a sharpened focus on: 

MCMs and Commercial Products — We will focus on products including NARCAN Nasal Spray and on 
public health preparedness and response, which will leverage our longstanding relationship as a reliable partner 
to the U.S. and allied governments helping protect against chemical, biological and man-made threats. 

Contract  Development  and  Manufacturing  Services  —  We  will  focus  our  investments  in  our  existing 
network of manufacturing sites to strengthen operational, quality, and compliance systems across the enterprise 
to  provide  reliable  delivery  of  products  and  services  for  both  our  own  products  and  those  of  our  CDMO 
customers. 

Align  R&D  Portfolio  to  focus  on  areas  of  leadership  —  We  will  continue  to  focus  on  advancing  our 
pipeline of vaccines and therapeutic product candidates, with the aim of developing differentiated products that 
address  unmet  needs  in  the  PHT  space.  We  fund  our  pipeline  development  by  investing  our  own  funds  and 
through securing government contracts, grants, or other non-dilutive funding.

Description of MCM Products 

ACAM2000®.  ACAM2000 vaccine  is  a  smallpox  vaccine  licensed  by the FDA and comprises  the largest 
percentage  of  the  current  USG  stockpile  in  the  Strategic  National  Stockpile  (“SNS”)  designated  for  use  in  a 
bioterrorism  emergency.  ACAM2000  vaccine  is  currently  stockpiled  both  in  the  U.S.  and  internationally. 
Smallpox  is  a  highly  contagious  disease  caused  by  the  Variola  virus.  According  to  the  Centers  for  Disease 
Control  and Prevention  (“CDC”), smallpox  is a devastating  disease, with a mortality  rate as high as 30%. The 
vaccine stimulates a person’s immune system to develop antibodies and cells in the blood and elsewhere that can 
then  help  the  body  fight  off  a  smallpox  infection  if  exposure  to  smallpox  occurs.  On  September  3,  2019,  we 
announced  the  award  by  the  USG  of  a  contract  valued  at  up  to  approximately  $2  billion  over  10  years  for  the 
continued  supply  of  ACAM2000  vaccine  into  the  SNS,  assuming  all  contract  options  are  exercised.  This 
multiple-year  contract  is intended to support the replacement  of the smallpox vaccine stockpile  and included a 
one-year base period of performance in 2019 valued at approximately $170.0 million, and nine option years. The 
number of doses under the base period were delivered by year end 2019. On May 28, 2020, we announced the 
exercise by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) of the first contract option, valued at 
$176.0  million,  to  procure  doses  of  ACAM2000  vaccine.  The  number  of  doses  under  the  first  contract  option 
were delivered by year end 2020. On July 13, 2021, we announced the exercise by HHS of the second contract 
option,  valued  at  $182.2  million,  to  procure  doses  of  ACAM2000  vaccine.  We  completed  the  delivery  of  all 
ACAM2000 doses in 2022. The USG chose to not exercise its option year in 2022. Therefore, we are currently in 
discussions with HHS regarding future procurement of ACAM2000 vaccine and what is necessary for the USG 
to maintain  ACAM2000 in the SNS. The actual  number  of ACAM2000 doses to be procured in the future are 
subject to the outcome of our discussions. 

Anthrasil®. Anthrasil [Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)] (“Anthrasil Anthrax IGIV”) is the 
only polyclonal antibody therapeutic licensed by the FDA for the treatment of inhalational anthrax in adult and 
pediatric patients in combination with appropriate antibacterial drugs. We currently have two contracts with HHS 
for  Anthrasil  Anthrax  IGIV:  a  development  and  procurement  contract  that  expires  in  September  2023,  and  a 
multiple award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract for the collection of anti-anthrax plasma, as well 
as the manufacture of such plasma into bulk drug substance and finished drug product and delivery of finished 
product  into  the  SNS.  This  contract  covers  extended  plasma  storage,  and  the  options  for  manufacturing  and 
product delivery, which are available to be exercised by HHS through September 2023. In addition to domestic 
USG  sales,  Anthrasil  Anthrax  IGIV  has  been  sold  to  several  foreign  governments,  including  the  Canadian 
government.

BAT®. BAT antitoxin is the only equine plasma antitoxin licensed by the FDA and Health Canada for the 
treatment of all seven botulinum neurotoxin serotypes. BAT antitoxin is licensed by the FDA for the treatment of 
symptomatic botulism following suspected or documented exposure to botulinum neurotoxin serotypes A, B, C, 
D,  E,  F  or  G  in  adults  and  pediatric  patients.  It  is  also  licensed  in  Canada  pursuant  to  Health  Canada’s 
Extraordinary Use New Drugs regulations. BAT antitoxin is the only heptavalent botulism antitoxin available in 
the U.S. and Canada for treating naturally occurring botulism in adults or pediatric patients. Botulinum toxin is a 
nerve  toxin  produced  by  the  bacterium  Clostridium  botulinum  that  causes  botulism,  a  serious  paralytic  illness. 
On May 8, 2020, we announced the finalization of a previously announced contract with HHS, valued at up to 
$550.0  million,  if  all  options  under  the  contract  are  exercised.  The  contract  has  two  deliverables.  The  first 
deliverable, negotiated in September 2019 and valued at up to approximately $90.0 million, is to supply annual 
doses  of  BAT  antitoxin  into  the  SNS  for  10  years  by  converting  existing  bulk  drug  substance  into  final  drug 
product. This deliverable also includes options for additional doses valued at up to approximately $94.0 million 
over  10  years.  The  second  deliverable,  valued  at  up  to  approximately  $366.0  million,  is  for  the  production  of 
additional doses of bulk drug substance over 10 years to maintain the plasma collection and production capability 
for  botulism  response  planning.  In  addition  to  domestic  government  sales,  BAT antitoxin  continues  to  be  sold 
internationally, with deliveries to over 17 foreign governments in 2022. 

BioThrax®.  BioThrax  vaccine  is  the  only  vaccine  licensed  by  the  FDA  for  pre-exposure  prophylaxis  of 
anthrax  disease  in  persons  at  high  risk  of  exposure.  BioThrax  vaccine  is  also  approved  by  the  FDA  for  post-
exposure  prophylaxis  administration  in  combination  with  antimicrobial  therapy  in  the  event  of  suspected  or 
confirmed  exposure  to  Bacillus  anthracis.  Anthrax  is  a  potentially  fatal  disease  caused  by  the  spore-forming 
bacterium,  Bacillus  anthracis.  Inhalational  anthrax  is  the  most  lethal  form  of  anthrax.  In  the  U.S.,  BioThrax 
vaccine is administered in a pre-exposure prophylaxis setting by intramuscular injection as a three-dose primary 
series  over  a  six-month  period.  Per  the  U.S.  label,  booster  doses  are  administered  six  and  12  months  after 
completion  of  the  primary  series  and  at  12-  month  intervals  thereafter.  BioThrax  vaccine  is  administered  in  a 
post-exposure  prophylaxis  setting  as  three  subcutaneous  injections  two  weeks  apart  in  conjunction  with 
recommended antibacterial drugs following suspected or confirmed Bacillus anthracis exposure. When we report 
the revenue associated with “anthrax vaccines,” it reflects the combined revenue from the procurement and sale 
of BioThrax vaccine as well as the product candidate AV7909 (described below). 

In  December  2016,  we  signed  a  follow-on  contract  with  the  CDC  for  the  supply  of  up  to  approximately 
29.4 million doses of BioThrax vaccine for delivery into the SNS, over a five-year period ending in September 
2021. On September 29, 2021, we were granted a no-cost contract extension, which extended the date through 
which  the  USG  procured  BioThrax  vaccine  to  March  31,  2022.  On  June  16,  2022,  the  contract’s  period  of 
performance was extended to June 30, 2022. All deliveries under this contract were completed in August 2022. 

Ebanga™  (Ansuvimab-zykl),  a  monoclonal  antibody.  Ebanga™  (Ansuvimab-zykl)  is  a  monoclonal 
antibody with antiviral activity provided through a single IV infusion (over 60 minutes) for the treatment of Zaire 
ebolavirus in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates born to a mother who is RT-PCR positive for Zaire 
ebolavirus.  On  July  1,  2022,  we  entered  into  an  agreement  with  Ridgeback  Biotherapeutics  (“Ridgeback”)  in 
which  the  parties  agreed  to  negotiate  a  Collaboration  Agreement  to  expand  the  availability  of  Ebanga™ 
(Ansuvimab-zykl).  We  will  be  responsible  for  manufacturing,  selling  and  distributing  Ebanga™  (Ansuvimab-
zykl) in the U.S. and Canada and Ridgeback will serve as the global access partner. 

Raxibacumab injection, a fully human monoclonal antibody. Our raxibacumab product is the first fully 
human monoclonal antibody therapeutic  licensed by the FDA for the treatment  and prophylaxis of inhalational 
anthrax due to Bacillus anthracis. Our raxibacumab product is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric 
patients  with  inhalational  anthrax  in  combination  with  appropriate  antibacterial  drugs  and  for  prophylaxis  of 
inhalational anthrax when alternative therapies are not available or appropriate. 

RSDL®. RSDL kit is cleared by the FDA that is intended to remove or neutralize chemical warfare agents 
from the skin, including tabun, sarin, soman, cyclohexyl sarin, VR, VX, mustard gas and T-2 toxin. RSDL kit has 

7 

also been cleared as a medical device by Health Canada, has a current European Conformity (“CE”) mark under 
European  Directives,  and  is  licensed  by  the  Israel  Ministry  of  Health  and  by  Australia’s  Therapeutic  Goods 
Administration.  To  date,  the  principal  customers  for  RSDL  kits  have  been  agencies  of  the  USG,  including  the 
Department  of  Defense  (“DoD”)  and  the  National  Guard.  In  addition  to  the  DoD  and  other  USG  agencies, 
beginning in 2017, we made RSDL kit available for the first time for purchase by civilians in the U.S. Our current 
contract  with the DoD awarded in December 2022 is a five-year contract including a base year period and four 
single year option periods, valued at up to $379.6 million to supply RSDL kits for use by all branches of the U.S. 
military. We also sold RSDL kits to nine foreign countries outside the U.S. in 2022. In November 2022, a specific 
batch of our RSDL kits was recalled due to leakage, which could cause the product not to perform as effectively as 
intended. There have been no reports of injuries or death related to this recall of which we are aware. 

TEMBEXA® (brincidofovir). TEMBEXA is the first oral antiviral approved by the FDA for the treatment 
of smallpox disease caused by variola virus in adult and pediatric patients, including neonates. On September 26, 
2022,  we  acquired  exclusive  worldwide  rights  to  brincidofovir  from  Chimerix  Inc.  for  the  treatment  of  any 
human  smallpox  disease  or  any  other  disease  caused  by  any  orthopox  virus.  Following  the  acquisition,  the 
10-year contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”), valued at up 
to $680.0 million, to supply up to 1.7 million tablet and suspension formulations of TEMBEXA was novated to 
the Company. 

Trobigard®  atropine  sulfate,  obidoxime  chloride  auto-injector.  TROBIGARD  auto-injector  was 
approved  by  the  Federal  Agency  for  Medicines  and  Health  Products  of  the  Belgium  Health  Authority  on 
February 18, 2021. TROBIGARD auto-injector is not currently approved or cleared by the FDA. TROBIGARD 
auto-injector  is  only  distributed  to  authorized  government  buyers  for  use  outside  the  U.S.  In  Belgium,  the 
TROBIGARD auto-injector  is indicated  for the emergency  treatment  of known or suspected exposure to nerve 
agents  or  toxic  organophosphates  in  adults  (>  18  years  of  age).  In  February  2019,  Emergent  was  awarded  a 
10-year contract, valued at up to approximately $100.0 million, by the U.S. Department of State, to procure our 
TROBIGARD product, training auto-injectors and RSDL kits for emergency use outside of the U.S. The contract 
consists of a five-year base period of performance with five one-year option periods. 

VIGIV  CNJ-016®.  VIGIV  is  the  only  polyclonal  antibody  therapeutic  licensed  by  the  FDA  and  Health 
Canada to address certain complications from replicating virus smallpox vaccination. The principal customer for 
VIGIV  is  the  USG,  specifically  HHS.  In  June  2019,  we  announced  a  contract  award  by  HHS  valued  at 
approximately  $535.0  million  over  10  years  for  the  continued  supply  of  VIGIV  into  the  SNS  for  smallpox 
preparedness. VIGIV has also been procured by a limited number of foreign governments.

Description of Commercial Products 

NARCAN®.  NARCAN  Nasal  Spray,  a  product  we  obtained  in  connection  with  our  acquisition  of  Adapt 
Pharma Inc. in 2018, is an intranasal formulation of naloxone approved by the FDA and Health Canada for the 
emergency  treatment  of  known  or  suspected  opioid  overdose  as  demonstrated  by  respiratory  and/or  central 
nervous system depression. The primary customers for NARCAN Nasal Spray are state health departments, local 
law  enforcement  agencies,  community-based  organizations,  substance  abuse  centers,  federal  agencies  and 
consumers  through  pharmacies  fulfilling  physician-directed  or standing order prescriptions.  We completed  two 
important  product  life  cycle  improvements  in  2020.  First,  we  launched  the  Generation  II  NARCAN  device, 
which  has  a  claim  for  enhanced  temperature  excursions  and  storage  below  25°C.  Second,  we  gained  FDA 
approval for an extension of the shelf life of NARCAN Nasal Spray from 24 months to 36 months. 

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we filed our supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) for NARCAN® 
(naloxone  HCl)  Nasal  Spray,  as  an  over-the-counter  (“OTC”)  emergency  treatment  for  known  or  suspected 
opioid overdose. The FDA accepted the application and also granted Priority Review. If approved, it would be 
the first 4 mg naloxone nasal spray available OTC in the U.S. The Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) 
goal  date  is  March  29,  2023.  On  February,  15,  2023,  the  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (FDA) 
Nonprescription  Drugs  Advisory  Committee  and  the  Anesthetic  and  Analgesic  Drug  Products  Advisory 
Committee unanimously voted in favor (a total of 19 votes) that the benefit-risk profile of NARCAN® (naloxone 
HCl) Nasal Spray was supportive of its use as a nonprescription opioid overdose reversal agent. The FDA is not 
bound by the committees’ guidance but will take its advice into consideration. 

Vaxchora®.  Vaxchora  vaccine  is  a  live  attenuated  cholera  vaccine  for  oral  administration  and  the  first 
vaccine  approved  by  the  FDA  for  the  prevention  of  cholera  infection.  Cholera  is  a  potentially  life-threatening 
bacterial infection that occurs in the intestines and causes severe diarrhea and dehydration. It has a low incidence 
in  the  U.S.  and  Europe,  but  a  high  incidence  in  Africa,  Southeast  Asia,  and  other  locations  around  the  world. 
These  areas  have  historically  drawn  travelers  from  the  U.S.  and  Europe,  so  cholera  can  occur  in  patients  who 
return  to  the  U.S.  or  Europe  from  visits  to  these  regions.  Vaxchora  vaccine  is  approved  in  the  U.S.  for  active 
immunization against disease caused by V. cholerae serogroup 01 in persons two to 64 years of age traveling to 
cholera-affected  areas.  Vaxchora  vaccine  is  indicated  in  the  European  Union  (“EU”)  for  active  immunization 
against disease caused by V. cholerae serogroup 01 in adults and children aged two years and older. 

We have marketed Vaxchora vaccine to travelers primarily from the U.S. to cholera at-risk destinations. Our 
sales of Vaxchora vaccine were diminished in 2020 and 2021 due to the broad disruption to travel caused by the 
COVID-19 pandemic. Vaxchora vaccine was launched in the EU in August 2022. In February 2023, we agreed to 
sell Vaxchora as part of the sale of our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic.

Vivotif®.  Vivotif  vaccine  is  a  live  attenuated  vaccine  for  oral  administration  to  prevent  typhoid  fever. 
Typhoid  fever  is  a  potentially  severe  and  occasionally  life-threatening  febrile  illness  caused  by  Salmonella 
enterica serotype Typhi, a bacterium that only lives in humans. It is usually acquired by consumption of water or 
food that has been contaminated by feces of an infected person. Travelers from North America and Europe going 
to Asia, Africa, and Latin America have historically been particularly at risk. In February 2023 we agreed to sell 
Vivotif as part of the sale of our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic. 

We  have  marketed  Vivotif  vaccine  to  travelers  primarily  from  the  U.S.  and  the  EU  traveling  to  at-risk 
destinations. Our sales of Vivotif vaccine were diminished in 2020 and 2021 due to the broad disruption to travel 
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales of Vivotif vaccine resumed in 2022 and we expect that global travel 
will return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of 2023.

to 

AV7909.  We  are  developing  AV7909,  an  anthrax  vaccine  product  candidate  based  on  anthrax  vaccine 
adsorbed combined with an adjuvant for post-exposure prophylaxis of disease following suspected or confirmed 
exposure  to  Bacillus  anthracis  in  persons  18  through  65  years  of  age  when  administered  in  conjunction  with 
recommended  antibacterial  drugs. In 2021, AV7909 was granted orphan drug designation by the FDA. Studies 

10 

have shown that AV7909 elicits a stronger immune response using fewer doses than BioThrax vaccine, which is 
expected to allow patients to reach a protective level of immunity more rapidly. AV7909 is designed to provide 
protection with a two-dose regimen (versus the BioThrax three-dose regimen) for post-exposure prophylaxis of 
anthrax  disease,  when  administered  in  combination  with  the  recommended  antibacterial  drugs.  In  September 
2016, we signed a combination development and procurement contract with BARDA, which included a five-year 
base period of performance to develop AV7909 for post-exposure prophylaxis of anthrax disease and to deliver 
to  the  SNS  an  initial  two  million  doses,  subsequently  modified  to  three  million  doses  in  March  2017.  The 
contract also includes procurement options for the delivery of an additional 7.5 million to 50.0 million doses of 
AV7909 into the SNS and options for an additional clinical study and post marketing commitments. In 2019, we 
initiated and completed enrollment of a Phase 3 study; the 3,850 subject trial evaluating safety, immunogenicity 
and  lot  consistency  was  completed  in  2020.  In  collaboration  with  us,  the  CDC filed  with  the  FDA  a  pre-EUA 
submission  package  related  to  AV7909.  Following  this  submission,  BARDA  began  procuring  AV7909, 
exercising its first contract option in July 2019 (valued at approximately $261.0 million) to procure doses to be 
delivered to the SNS through June of 2020, its second contract option in June 2020 (valued at $258.0 million) to 
procure additional doses of AV7909 for delivery into the SNS over 12 months and, most recently, in September 
2021 funding another contract option (valued at approximately $399.0 million) to deliver doses of AV7909 to the 
SNS over 18 months. In April 2022, we completed our submission of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) 
for  AV7909  to  the  FDA.  When  we  report  the  revenue  associated  with  “anthrax  vaccines,”  it  reflects  the 
combined revenue from the procurement and sale of AV7909 as well as BioThrax (described above). 

CGRD-001.  The  CGRD-001  auto-injector 

treatment  of  poisoning  by 
organophosphorus  nerve  agents,  as  well  as  organophosphorus  compounds  for  use  by  military  personnel. 
CGRD-001 is being developed as an auto-injector for delivery of 600 mg of pralidoxime and 2 mg of atropine for 
intramuscular  injection  following  nerve  agent  exposure.  The  product  is  being  designed  for  injection  by 
non-medical  personnel,  including  self-injection  or  buddy  aid  by  service  members.  Currently  we  are 
manufacturing registration batches and undergoing design verification. 

is  being  developed  for 

CHIKV  VLP.  We  are  developing  a  chikungunya  virus  (CHIKV)  virus-like  particle  (VLP)  vaccine 
candidate,  CHIKV  VLP,  to  be  administered  as  a  single  dose  for  active  immunization  against  chikungunya 
disease.  There  is  currently  no  licensed  vaccine,  VLP  or  otherwise,  to  prevent  chikungunya  virus  disease.  The 
structure  of  the  CHIKV  VLP  vaccine  is  nearly  identical  to  the  wild-type  virus  but  does  not  pose  a  risk  of 
replication.  Studies conducted  by the National Institute  of Allergy and Infectious  Diseases (“NIAID”) Vaccine 
Research Center and Emergent have shown that the CHIKV VLP vaccine is well-tolerated and elicits high titer 
neutralizing antibodies, which are needed to protect against chikungunya virus. CHIKV VLP is currently being 
investigated  in  two  pivotal  phase  3 trials.  Our CHIKV VLP vaccine  candidate  received  Breakthrough  Therapy 
designation and Fast Track designation from the FDA in October 2020 and May 2018, respectively, and PRIME 
designation  from the European Medicines  Agency (EMA) in September  2019. In February 2023, we agreed to 
sell CHIKV VLP as part of the sale of our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic. 

EBS-LASV.  This  vaccine  candidate  is  a  recombinant,  vesicular  stomatitis  virus  vectored,  monovalent 
vaccine encoding the surface glycoprotein precursor gene of Lassa virus. The development program is partnered 
with  the  Coalition  for  Epidemic  Preparedness  Innovations  (“CEPI”)  and  is  currently  in  Phase  1  with  the  trial 
ongoing in Ghana. CEPI will decide on Phase 2 funding in the second quarter of 2023. A correlate of protection 
is not yet identified. 

EGRD-001. The EGRD-001 auto-injector is being developed for treatment of status epilepticus and severe 
recurrent convulsive seizures caused by nerve agent poisoning, for use by military personnel and first responders. 
EGRD-001  is  being  developed  as  an  auto-injector  for  the  intramuscular  delivery  of  10  mg  of  diazepam  in 
individuals who are actively seizing. 

SIAN.  We  are  developing  SIAN  (stabilized  isoamyl  nitrate)  as  an  antidote  for  initial  treatment  of  acute 
poisoning  of  cyanide  that  is  judged  to  be  serious  or  life  threatening.  The  USG  consistently  identifies  cyanide 

11 

(“CN”)  as  a  high-priority  threat,  most  recently  in  the  Public  Health  Emergency  Medical  Countermeasure 
Enterprise 2022 Strategy and Implementation Plan. Historically, CN has been used as a chemical warfare agent 
and  could  be  an  agent  for  a  terrorist  attack.  CN  also  represents  a  threat  from  accidental  poisoning,  such  as 
industrial accidents or exposure during building fires. The SIAN program is funded by BARDA and is focused 
on the development of a single-use intranasal spray device that can be rapidly deployed and easily dispensed so 
that it will deliver SIAN following a cyanide incident or in a mass exposure setting. In 2022, we initiated a Phase 
1 study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of our SIAN product 
candidate. 

UniFlu.  We  are  developing  a  universal  influenza  vaccine  candidate  based  on  a  nanoparticle  technology 
involving a cross-reactive hemagglutinin (HA) antigen for active immunization against influenza virus A and B. 
The  nanoparticle  technology  was  developed  by  and  licensed  from  the  NIAID  Vaccine  Research  Center.  Using 
this  technology,  we  are  seeking  to  develop  a  universal  influenza  vaccine  designed  to  confer  protection  against 
numerous strains and subtypes of influenza virus. In 2021, we initiated a Phase 1 study designed to assess safety, 
tolerability,  and  immunogenicity  of  the  influenza  virus  A  components  of  the  vaccine  candidate  with  future 
studies  planned  to  investigate  additional  components,  including  for  full  coverage  against  all  influenza  virus  A 
and B strains.

Commercial Products. 

In the U.S. market, NARCAN (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray is sold directly to state and local governments 
and used by first responders, including: police, firefighters and emergency medical teams. In addition, NARCAN 
Nasal Spray is dispensed to patients at risk of an opioid overdose through retail pharmacies as prescribed by a 
physician.  In  2022,  we  submitted  a  supplemental  New  Drug  Application  (sNDA)  requesting  that  FDA  switch 
Narcan  (4mg)  from  a  prescription  drug  to  an  over-the-counter  medicine.  The  PDUFA  goal  date  for  that 
application  is  March  29,  2023.  On  February,  15,  2023,  the  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Administration  (FDA) 
Nonprescription  Drugs  Advisory  Committee  and  the  Anesthetic  and  Analgesic  Drug  Products  Advisory 
Committee unanimously voted in favor (a total of 19 votes) that the benefit-risk profile of NARCAN® (naloxone 
HCl) Nasal Spray was supportive of its use as a nonprescription opioid overdose reversal agent. The FDA is not 
bound by the committees’ guidance but will take its advice into consideration. 

Vivotif® and Vaxchora® vaccines are intended for use by travelers heading to regions where there is a risk 
of exposure to certain infectious diseases and, therefore, are sold to channels that address travel health. We sell to 
both  wholesalers  and  distributors.  The  primary  commercial  customers  of  Vivotif  and  Vaxchora  vaccines  are 
travel clinics, retail pharmacies, vaccination centers, health departments and integrated hospital networks. Sales 
of these products were significantly reduced in 2020 and 2021 due to the broader disruption to travel caused by 
the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales of Vivotif vaccine fully resumed in 2022. Vaxchora vaccine was launched in the 
EU  and  sales  of  Vaxchora  vaccine  are  expected  in  the  first  quarter  of  2023  in  the  U.S.  We  expect  sales  to  be 
influenced by the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global travel. 

CDMO Services. 

We market our CDMO services to the global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, governments and 
NGOs. We also provided CDMO services to the USG, which ended in 2021. Our CDMO services are supported 
by a dedicated group of professionals qualified to represent the full breadth of our service offerings. 

Competition 

Our  products  and  any  product  or  product  candidate  that  we  acquire  or  successfully  develop  and 
commercialize are likely to compete with current products and product candidates that are in development for the 
same indications. The competition for our products and product candidates includes the following: 

• ACAM2000®. ACAM2000 vaccine remains the primary smallpox vaccine stockpiled by the USG and 
offers key features for public health mass vaccination programs that are critical, including a single dose 
vaccination  schedule  and  multi-dose  vial  presentation.  ACAM2000  vaccine  faces  competition  from 
JYNNEOSTM  vaccine, which is licensed by the FDA for the prevention of smallpox and mpox disease 
in  adults  18  years  of  age  and  older  determined  to  be  at  high  risk  for  smallpox  or  mpox  infection. 
JYNNEOS vaccine  is  also  approved  in  Canada  and  in  the  EU under  the  trade  names  IMVAMUNE® 
and IMVANEX®, respectively. 

• AV7909 and BioThrax. AV7909 and BioThrax vaccines are currently procured, primarily by the USG, 
for prevention of anthrax disease. BioThrax vaccine is currently the only anthrax vaccine approved by 
the FDA for prevention of anthrax disease, and AV7909 and BioThrax are the only anthrax vaccines 
procured  by  the  USG  for  the  SNS  to  date.  We  face  potential  future  competition  for  the  supply  of 
anthrax vaccines if the USG chooses to procure alternative products or product candidates. Altimmune, 
Inc., GC Pharma, Blue Willow Biologics, and Greffex are each currently developing anthrax vaccine 
product candidates, which are in various stages of clinical development. Of these product candidates, 
Altimmune and Blue Willow Biologics have completed Phase 1 trials. 

• BAT®. Our botulinum antitoxin immune globulin product is the only heptavalent antitoxin licensed by 
the  FDA  and  Health  Canada  for  the  treatment  of  symptomatic  botulism  for  all  seven  botulinum 
neurotoxin serotypes. Direct competition is currently limited. 

13 

• CNJ-016®.  Our  VIGIV  product  is  the  only  therapeutic  licensed  by  the  FDA  and  Health  Canada  to 
address  adverse  events  from  smallpox  vaccination  with  replicating  virus  smallpox  vaccines.  While 
direct competition in terms of the treatment of smallpox vaccination side effects is limited, SIGA has 
obtained EU approval for TPOXX® (tecovirimat),  an oral therapy, for the treatment of complications 
following vaccination against smallpox. TPOXX is currently procured by the USG for the SNS. 

• EbangaTM (Ansuvimab-zykl). A monoclonal antibody therapeutic approved by the FDA in December 
2020 for the treatment of infection caused by Zaire Ebolavirus in adult and pediatric patients, including 
neonates  born  to  RT-PCR+  mother  for  Zaire  Ebolavirus  infection.  Ebanga  faces  competition  from 
another  monoclonal  antibody,  Inmazeb  (atoltivimab,  maftivimab  and  odesivimab-ebgn),  which  was 
approved by the FDA in October 2020 with the same indication. Inmazeb is currently procured by the 
USG for the SNS. 

• NARCAN®.  NARCAN  Nasal  Spray  is  the  first  FDA-approved  intranasal  naloxone  spray  for  the 
emergency  reversal  of  opioid  overdoses.  Teva  Pharmaceuticals  Industries  Ltd.  and  its  Canadian 
affiliate (collectively, Teva) have generic versions of an intranasal naloxone spray based on NARCAN 
approved by the FDA and Health Canada. Teva launched its generic naloxone nasal spray in the U.S. In 
2021  Padagis  Pharmaceuticals  also  has  a  generic  version  of  an  intranasal  naloxone  spray  based  on 
NARCAN approved by the FDA. Padagis launched its generic naloxone nasal spray. NARCAN Nasal 
Spray also faces branded competition: Kloxxado™ (naloxone HCl) nasal spray 8 mg, a branded product 
developed  by  Hikma  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.,  Amphastar  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.’s  naloxone  injection 
product,  Teleflex  Medical  Inc’s  Intranasal  Mucosal  Atomization  Device  and  Zimhi™  (naloxone),  a 
branded  injectable  product  developed  by  Adamis.  In  addition,  Harm  Reduction  Therapeutics  has 
announced filing of an OTC NDA application for a 3mg naloxone nasal spray formulation intended for 
use in opioid overdose reversal. NARCAN may face additional generic and branded competition in the 
future. 

• Raxibacumab and Anthrasil®  [Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous (human)]. Our raxibacumab 
product is the first FDA-licensed fully human anthrax monoclonal antibody therapeutic and Anthrasil 
[Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous (human)] is the only polyclonal antibody therapeutic licensed 
by the FDA and Health Canada for the treatment of inhalational anthrax in adult and pediatric patients 
in  combination  with  appropriate  antibacterial  drugs.  Elusys  Therapeutics,  Inc.  has  obtained  FDA 
licensure for Anthim® (obiltoxaximab) injection, a chimeric (or partially human) antibody indicated for 
the treatment and prophylaxis of inhalational anthrax. Obiltoxaximab is also approved in Canada and 
the EU. 

• RSDL®. In the U.S., the RSDL Kit is one of only two medical devices cleared by the FDA to remove 
or neutralize chemical warfare agents and T-2 toxin from the skin. Internationally, various Ministries of 
Defense  have  procured  Fullers  Earth,  Dutch  Powder  and  French  Powder  as  a  preparedness 
countermeasure for the decontamination of liquid chemical weapons from the skin. 

• TEMBEXA® (brincidofovir). TEMBEXA is the first oral antiviral approved by the FDA, in June 2021, 
for  all  age  groups  for  the  treatment  of  smallpox.  TEMBEXA  faces  competition  from  TPOXX® 
(tecovirimat), an oral therapy for the treatment of smallpox disease that was approved by the FDA in 
July 2018 and is currently procured by the USG for the SNS. TPOXX is also approved in Canada and 
the EU. In the EU, TPOXX is indicated for the treatment of smallpox, mpox and cowpox, as well as the 
treatment of complications following vaccination against smallpox. 

• Trobigard®  atropine  sulfate,  obidoxime  chloride  auto-injector.  In  the  U.S.,  Meridian  Medical 
Technologies  has  been  the  primary  supplier  of  nerve-agent  antidote  auto-injectors.  The  USG  has 
funded  the  development  of  a  number  of  nerve  agent  antidote  auto-injectors  including  development 
programs at Aktiv Pharma Group, Kaleo and others. Outside of the U.S. there are a number of suppliers 
of these devices though few with approvals from national or regional regulatory authorities. 

• Vaxchora®.  In  the  U.S.,  Vaxchora  vaccine  is  the  only  FDA-licensed  vaccine  available  indicated  to 
prevent cholera. Vaxchora vaccine is the only single-dose cholera vaccine in the EU and is subject to 

14 

competition by Valneva’s Dukoral®  two-dose cholera vaccine in the EU. In February 2023, we agreed 
to sell Vaxchora as part of the sale of our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic. 

• Vivotif®. Vivotif vaccine is the only FDA-approved oral typhoid vaccine. In the markets where Vivotif 
vaccine  is  licensed,  it  competes  primarily  with  Sanofi  Pasteur’s  Typhim  VI®  vaccine,  an  injectable 
polysaccharide typhoid vaccine. In February 2023, we agreed to sell Vivotif as part of the sale of our 
travel health business to Bavarian Nordic. 

CDMO Services 

We  also  compete  for  CDMO  services  with  a  number  of  biopharmaceutical  product  R&D  organizations, 
contract  manufacturers  of  biopharmaceutical  products,  other  CDMO  organizations,  and  university  research 
laboratories. 

Companies with which we compete to provide CDMO services include, among others: Lonza Group Ltd., 
Catalent, Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, Curia Global, Inc., Charles River Laboratories, Avid Bioservices, KBI 
Biopharma, Vetter Pharma, and FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies. We also compete with in-house research, 
development and support service departments of other biopharmaceutical companies. 

MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS 

Our development and manufacturing network allows us to deploy capabilities and capacity for clinical and 

commercial supply needs. 

Supplies and Raw Materials 

We currently rely on contract manufacturers and other third parties to manufacture some of the supplies we 
require for pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, as well as supplies and raw materials used in the production of 
our  products.  Typically,  we  acquire  these  supplies  and  raw  materials  on  a  purchase  order  basis  and,  when 
possible,  in  quantities  we  believe  adequate  to  meet  our  needs.  We  obtain  Alhydrogel®  adjuvant  2%,  used  to 
manufacture  AV7909  and  BioThrax  vaccines,  from  a  single-source  supplier  for  which  we  currently  have  no 
alternative source of supply. However, we maintain stored supplies of this adjuvant in quantities believed to be 
sufficient  to  meet  our  expected  manufacturing  needs.  We  also  utilize  single-source  suppliers  for  other  raw 
materials in our manufacturing processes. 

We  utilize  single  source  suppliers  for  all  components  of  NARCAN  Nasal  Spray.  It  is  manufactured  by  a 
third party, which operates a full service offering from formulation to final packaging. Materials for production 
of  NARCAN  Nasal  Spray,  such  as  the  naloxone  active  pharmaceutical  ingredient  and  other  excipients,  along 
with  the  vial,  stopper  and  device  are  produced  around  the  world  by  other  third  parties  and  delivered  to  the 
primary manufacturer and released to manufacturing following appropriate testing. 

We  rely  on  single  source  suppliers  for  our  plasma  collection  to  support  the  Anthrasil,  VIGIV  and  BAT 
programs.  We  work  closely  with  our  suppliers  for  these  specialty  programs  and  operate  under  long-term 
agreements. We order quantities of material in advance in quantities believed to be sufficient to meet upcoming 
demand requirements. 

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY 

We  actively  seek  to  protect  intellectual  property  related  to  our  assets,  including  patent  rights,  trademark 
rights, trade secrets and proprietary confidential information, through defense and enforcement of existing rights 
and pursuit of protection  on new and arising innovations. The duration of and the type of protection for patent 
rights  depends  upon  many  factors  including  the  type  of  patent,  the  scope  of  its  coverage,  the  availability  of 
regulatory-related extensions or administrative term adjustments, the availability of legal remedies in a particular 

15 

country,  and  the  validity  and  enforceability  of  the  patents.  We  are  a  party  to  various  license  agreements, 
including those under which we license patents, patent applications, trademarks, materials and other intellectual 
property  rights.  It  is  our  policy  to  ethically  consider  the  enforcement  and  defense  of  our  intellectual  property 
rights, and to respect the intellectual property rights of others. 

REGULATION 

Regulations  in  the  U.S.  and  other  countries  have  a  significant  impact  on  our  product  development, 

manufacturing and marketing activities. 

Government Contracting 

Our status as a USG contractor means that we are subject to various statutes and regulations, including: 

•

•

•

•

•

•

the  Federal  Acquisition  Regulation  (“FAR”)  and  agency-specific  regulations  supplemental  to  FAR, 
which comprehensively regulate the award, formation, administration and performance of government 
contracts; 

the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations (“DFARs”) and agency-specific regulations supplemental 
to DFARs, which comprehensively  regulate the award, formation,  administration  and performance of 
DoD government contracts; 

the Department of State Acquisition Regulation which regulates the relationship between a Department 
of State organization and a contractor or potential contractor; 

business  ethics  and  public  integrity  obligations,  which  govern  conflicts  of  interest  and  the  hiring  of 
former government employees, restrict the granting of gratuities and funding of lobbying activities and 
incorporate other requirements such as the Anti-Kickback Act, the Procurement Integrity Act, the False 
Claims Act and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; 

export and import control laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Export Administration 
Regulations and International Traffic in Arms Regulations; and 

laws,  regulations  and  executive  orders  restricting  the  use  and  dissemination  of  information  classified 
for national security purposes and the exportation of certain products and technical data. 

USG agencies routinely audit and investigate government contractors for compliance with applicable laws 
and  standards.  Our  role  and  status  as  a  large  government  supplier  to  HHS,  particularly  BARDA  increases  the 
likelihood  of  Congressional  review  and  oversight.  The  legal  framework  we  are  subject  to  as  a  government 
contractor  imposes  stricter  penalties  than  those  normally  applicable  to  commercial  contracts,  such  as  criminal 
and  civil  liability  and  suspension  and  debarment  from  future  government  contracting.  In  addition,  pursuant  to 
various  laws,  our  government  contracts  can  be  subject  to  unilateral  termination  or  modification  by  the 
government  for  convenience,  detailed  auditing  and  accounting  systems  requirements,  statutorily  controlled 
pricing,  sourcing  and  subcontracting  restrictions  and  statutorily  mandated  processes  for  adjudicating  contract 
disputes. 

The Project BioShield Act of 2004. The Project BioShield Act of 2004 (Project BioShield) was enacted to 
augment market incentives  for companies pursuing the development of MCMs of which the government is the 
only significant market. Project BioShield provided $5.6 billion over 10 years to develop, purchase, and stockpile 
MCMs for use in a public health emergency against CBRNE agents. 

The Pandemic and All Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006 and Reauthorization Acts. The Pandemic and 
All Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006 established the role of Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response 
(“ASPR”)  within  HHS  and  provided  statutory  authorities  for  a  number  of  programs,  including  the  creation  of 
BARDA  to  support  the  development  and  procurement  of  MCMs  to  respond  to  CBRNE.  The  Pandemic  All 

16 

Hazards  Preparedness  Reauthorization  Act  of  2013  (“PAHPRA”)  continued  BARDA’s  role  and  reauthorized 
Project  BioShield  funding  through  fiscal  year  2018  and  provided  BARDA  with  additional  appropriations  to 
support  advanced  research  and  development.  The  Pandemic  and  All-Hazards  Preparedness  and  Advancing 
Innovation Act of 2019 reauthorized Project BioShield’s special reserve fund and authorized 10-year funding for 
product development. BARDA has used the incentives under Project BioShield and subsequent reauthorizations 
of it to build a robust pipeline of MCMs for multiple CBRNE agents. It has also procured and stockpiled many of 
our  related  products  for  potential  use  in  the  event  of  a  PHT  emergency,  including  BioThrax,  ACAM2000, 
Anthrasil, BAT, VIGIV and raxibacumab products. 

Funding  for  BARDA  is  provided  by  annual  appropriations  by  Congress.  Congress  appropriates  annual 
funding  for  procurement  of  MCMs  for  the  SNS  (currently  managed  by  ASPR)  and  for  the  NIAID  to  conduct 
biodefense research. This appropriation funding supplements amounts available under Project BioShield. 

Emergency Use Authorization 

Section  564  of  the  Federal  Food,  Drug,  and  Cosmetics  Act  (“FDCA”)  authorizes  FDA  to  issue  EUAs  to 
permit the introduction into interstate commerce of unapproved MCMs, or approved MCMs for unapproved uses, 
in  the  context  of  certain  potential  or  actual  public  health  emergencies.  Several  actions  are  required  to  trigger 
FDA’s authority to issue EUAs. First, there must be a determination by certain federal officials that a particular 
threat or emergency exists. This can be (1) a determination by the Secretary of HHS that there is a public health 
emergency, or a significant potential for a public health emergency, that affects, or has a significant potential to 
affect,  national  security  or  the  health  and  security  of  United  States  citizens  living  abroad,  and  that  involves 
CBRN  agents;  (2)  a  determination  by  the  Secretary  of  Homeland  Security  (“DHS”)  that  there  is  a  domestic 
emergency,  or  a  significant  potential  for  a  domestic  emergency,  involving  a  heightened  risk  of  attack  with  a 
CBRN agent; (3) a determination by the Secretary of Defense that there is a military emergency, or a significant 
potential  for  a  military  emergency,  involving  a  heightened  risk  to  United  States  military  forces  from  a  CBRN 
agent; or (4) the identification of a material threat pursuant to section 319F–2 of the Public Health Service Act 
(“PHSA”) sufficient to affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad. 
Based  on  one  of  these  determinations,  the  Secretary  of  HHS  may  make  a  declaration  that  circumstances  exist 
justifying EUAs for MCMs to respond to the threat or emergency at issue. Once the relevant determination and 
declaration  are issued, FDA has the authority to issue EUAs for the use of specific medical products based on 
criteria  established  by  statute,  including  that  the  product  at  issue  may  be  effective  in  diagnosing,  treating,  or 
preventing serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions related to the threat or emergency and that there are 
no  adequate,  approved,  and  available  alternatives  to  the  issuance  of  an  EUA.  EUAs  are  subject  to  additional 
conditions  and  restrictions,  are  product-specific,  and  terminate  when  the  EUA  is  revoked  or  the  emergency 
determination or declaration underlying the EUA terminates. 

Under  PAHPRA, the  USG  may  purchase  certain  MCMs  for  the  SNS  prior  to  FDA approval,  licensure  or 
authorization, under certain circumstances. BARDA is currently procuring AV7909, a product candidate that has 
not been approved or authorized by FDA under these authorities. 

Public  Readiness  and  Emergency  Preparedness  Act.  The  Public  Readiness  and  Emergency  Preparedness 
Act  (“PREP Act”)  creates  liability  immunity  for  manufacturers  of MCMs when the Secretary  of HHS issues  a 
declaration related to a specific disease, condition or public health threat. A PREP Act declaration is intended to 
provide liability immunity from claims under federal or state law for loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or 
resulting from the administration or use of a covered MCM. The only statutory exception to this immunity is for 
actions  or  failures  to  act  that  constitute  willful  misconduct.  The  Secretary  of  HHS  has  issued  PREP  Act 
declarations  covering  MCMs  for  smallpox,  mpox,  and  other  orthopox;  anthrax;  and  botulinum  toxin.  These 
declarations  could  apply  to  BioThrax,  ACAM2000,  raxibacumab,  Anthrasil,  BAT  and  VIGIV  products,  as 
covered  MCMs.  The  declarations  for  anthrax  and  botulism  expire  on  December  31,  2027.  The  declaration  for 
smallpox, mpox, and other orthopox expires on December 31, 2032. 

17 

Support  Anti-Terrorism  by  Fostering  Effective  Technology  Act  of  2002.  The  Support  Anti-terrorism  by 
Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002 (“SAFETY Act”) was enacted to create certain liability limitations 
for Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technologies (“QATTs”) for claims arising out of, related to, or resulting from an 
act of terrorism. DHS administers the SAFETY Act program, which provides two potential categories of liability 
protections  –  designation  and  certification.  If  DHS  deems  an  MCM  a  “Designated  Technology,”  then  the 
company’s  liability  is  limited  to  the  amount  of  liability  insurance  that  DHS  determines  the  company  must 
maintain.  To  receive  “certification,”  a  QATT  must  first  be  “designated”  and  also  be  shown  to  perform  as 
intended, conform to the manufacturer’s specifications, and be safe for use as intended. Certification allows the 
company to assert the Government Contractor defense for claims arising from acts of terrorism. 

DHS granted SAFETY Act designation and certification for BioThrax and RSDL in 2006 and has continued 
to  renew  those  determinations.  Any  future  renewals  of  the  SAFETY  Act  designation  and  certification  for 
BioThrax and RSDL products may not provide adequate protection from all claims made against us. 

Product Development for Therapeutics and Vaccines 

Pre-Clinical  Testing.  We  generally  perform  pre-clinical  safety  and  efficacy  testing  on  our  product 

candidates before we initiate clinical trials. 

Animal Rule. Conducting controlled human clinical trials to determine efficacy of MCMs against dangerous 
pathogens may sometimes be unethical or unfeasible. In such circumstances, products may be approved under the 
FDA’s “Animal Rule.” According to the FDA, this regulatory pathway can only be pursued if conducting human 
efficacy  studies  would  be  unethical  and  field  trials  to  study  the  product’s  effectiveness,  after  an  accidental  or 
deliberate exposure, are not feasible. Under the “Animal Rule,” under some circumstances, approval of product 
candidates  can  be  based  on  clinical  data  from  trials  in  healthy  subjects  that  demonstrate  adequate  safety  and 
immunogenicity  and  efficacy  data  from  animal  studies.  These  approvals  generally  are  associated  with  a 
requirement for post-approval trials that would be conducted in the event of an act of bioterrorism, a pandemic, 
or other natural exposure to the pathogen at issue. 

Investigational New Drug Application. Before clinical testing may begin, the results of pre-clinical testing 
and  other  available  clinical  data  and  manufacturing  information  must  be  submitted  to  the  FDA  as  part  of  an 
Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application. The data must provide an adequate basis for evaluating both the 
safety  and  the  scientific  rationale  for  the  initial  clinical  studies.  The FDA may  impose  a  full  or  partial  clinical 
hold on the effectiveness of an IND pending receipt of additional information. 

Clinical Trials. Clinical trials involve administration of a product candidate to healthy human volunteers or 
patients  under  the  supervision  of  a  qualified  physician  under  a  regulatory  agency  approved  protocol  for  the 
country  in  which  the  human  trial  is  to  be  conducted.  Human  clinical  trials  typically  are  conducted  in  the 
following three sequential phases. 

•

•

•

Phase  1  involves  introduction  of  the  drug  into  healthy  human  subjects  to  assess  safety,  metabolism, 
pharmacokinetics, pharmacological actions, side effects and early evidence of effectiveness. 

Phase  2  involves  studies  to  assess  the  efficacy  of  the  drug  in  specific,  targeted  indications,  explore 
tolerance, optimal dosage, and safety. 

Phase 3 trials must assess clinical efficacy and safety in a larger number of healthy subjects or patients, 
are  intended  to  permit  the  FDA  to  evaluate  the  overall  benefit-risk  relationship  of  the  product  and 
provide adequate information for drug labeling. 

In  addition,  in  certain  circumstances  Phase  4  studies  may  be  conducted  following  marketing  approval  in 
order  to  provide  additional  data  related  to  drug  use.  The  FDA  may  impose  a  temporary  or  permanent  clinical 
hold,  or  other  sanctions,  if  it  believes  that  a  clinical  trial  is  not  being  conducted  in  accordance  with  the  FDA 
requirements or presents an unacceptable risk to the clinical trial subjects. 

18 

Good Clinical Practice. All phases of clinical  studies must be conducted in conformance  with the FDA’s 
bioresearch monitoring regulations and Good Clinical Practices (“GCP”) which are ethical and scientific quality 
standards for conducting clinical trials. 

Marketing Approval – Biologics, Drugs and Vaccines 

Biologics  License  Application/New  Drug  Application.  For  large  molecule  products,  such  as  vaccines, 
products  derived  from  blood  and  blood  components,  and  antibodies,  all  data  obtained  from  a  development 
program,  including  research  and  product  development,  manufacturing,  pre-clinical  and  clinical  trials,  labeling 
and  related  information  are  submitted  in  a  BLA  to  the  FDA  and  in  similar  regulatory  filings  with  the 
corresponding agencies in other countries for review and approval. For small molecule drugs, this information is 
submitted in a NDA filing. The submission of an application, either a BLA or an NDA, is not a guarantee that the 
FDA will find the application complete and accept it for filing. The FDA may issue a refuse to file, or RTF, letter 
to  the  applicant  and  request  additional  information,  in  which  case  the  application  must  be  resubmitted.  Most 
applications  are subject to a substantial application fee and, if approved, will be assessed an annual fee. Under 
the FDCA, the FDA has the authority to grant waivers of certain user fees. 

In reviewing a BLA or NDA, the FDA may grant approval, request more information or data, or decline to 
approve  the  application  if,  if  among  other  potential  deficiencies,  the  FDA determines  that  the application  does 
not provide substantial evidence of effectiveness, the drug is not safe for use under the conditions of use in the 
proposed  labeling,  or  there  are  deficiencies  in  manufacturing  quality.  If  the  FDA  decides  not  to  approve  an 
application, it will issue a complete response letter, or CRL. During the application, the FDA will also typically 
inspect one or more clinical sites to ensure compliance with GCPs as well as the facility or facilities at which the 
candidate is manufactured to ensure compliance with current good manufacturing practices (“cGMPs”). 

The  receipt  of  regulatory  approval  may  take  many  years,  and  typically  involves  the  expenditure  of 
substantial  financial  resources.  The  FDA  may  also  impose  conditions  upon  approval  or  significantly  limit  the 
indications  approved  for  a  given  product  and/or  require,  as  a  condition  of  approval,  enhanced  labeling, 
packaging,  post-approval  clinical  trials,  expedited  reporting  of  certain  adverse  events,  pre-approval  of 
promotional  materials  or  restrictions  on  consumer  advertising,  which  could  negatively  impact  the  commercial 
success of a product. 

Abbreviated  New  Drug  Applications  and  Section  505(b)(2)  New  Drug  Applications.  Most  drug  products 
obtain FDA marketing approval under a full NDA for innovator products, or an abbreviated new drug application 
(“ANDA”) for generic products. The Hatch-Waxman amendments to the FDCA established a statutory procedure 
for  submission  and  FDA  review  and  approval  of  ANDAs  for  generic  versions  of  branded  drugs  previously 
approved by the FDA (reference listed drugs, or RLDs). Because the safety and efficacy of RLDs have already 
been  established  by  the  brand  company  (sometimes  referred  to  as  the  innovator),  the  FDA  does  not  require 
ANDA  applicants  to  independently  demonstrate  safety  and  efficacy  of  generic  products.  However,  a  generic 
manufacturer  is  required  to  demonstrate  that  its  product  contains  the  same  active  ingredient  as,  and  is 
bioequivalent  to,  the  innovator  product,  among  other  requirements.  For  a  systemically  absorbed  drug, 
bioequivalence generally is established when there is an absence of a significant difference in the rate and extent 
of absorption of the generic product and the listed drug. 

A  third  alternative  for  approval  of  a  drug  product  is  commonly  referred  to  as  a  Section  505(b)(2)  NDA, 
which enables the applicant to rely, in part, on the FDA’s findings of safety and efficacy of an existing product in 
support of its application. Section 505(b)(2) NDAs often provide an alternate path to FDA approval for new or 
improved formulations or new uses of previously approved products. Section 505(b)(2) permits the filing of an 
NDA where at least some of the information required for approval comes from studies not conducted by or for 
the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference. The applicant might rely upon the 
FDA’s  findings  with  respect  to  certain  pre-clinical  or  clinical  studies  conducted  for  an  approved  product.  The 
FDA may also require companies to perform additional studies or submit other information to support the change 
from the approved product. The FDA may then approve the new product candidate for certain label indications 
for which the referenced product has been approved, as well as for any new indication sought by the applicant. 

19 

In  seeking  approval  for  a  drug  through  an  NDA,  including  a  505(b)(2)  NDA,  applicants  are  required  to 
submit  to  the  FDA  information  about  certain  patents  of  the  applicant  or  that  are  held  by  third  parties  whose 
claims cover the applicant’s product. Upon approval of an NDA, each of the patents for which the applicant has 
submitted  information  in  connection  with  the  NDA  is  then  published  in  the  Orange  Book.  Any  subsequent 
applicant  who  files  an  ANDA  or  a  505(b)(2)  NDA  must  make  one  of  the  following  certifications  to  the  FDA 
concerning  each  patent  for  which  the  RLD sponsor  was  required  to  submit  information  in  connection  with the 
RLD: (1) the patent information has not been submitted to the FDA; (2) has expired; (3) the date on which the 
patent will expire; or (4) the patent is invalid, unenforceable, or will not be infringed by the manufacture, use or 
sale of the drug product for which the application is submitted. This last certification is known as a paragraph IV 
certification.  Alternatively,  the  ANDA  or  505(b)(2)  NDA  applicant  may  submit  a  statement  that  there  are  no 
relevant patents or that a method-of-use patent does not claim a proposed indication or other condition of use for 
which the applicant is seeking approval. 

If the RLD’s NDA holder or patent owner initiates patent litigation to enforce an Orange Book-listed patent 
within  45  days  after  receiving  notice  of  a  paragraph  IV  certification,  the  FDA  generally  is  prohibited  from 
approving  the  application  until  the  earlier  of  30  months  from  the  date  of  receipt  of  the  paragraph  IV  notice, 
although  this  stay  may  terminate  earlier  depending  upon  the  resolution  of  the  litigation,  if  the  court  issues  an 
order  terminating  the  stay,  or  if  the  patent  owner  or  exclusive  patent  licensee  consents  to  approval  of  the 
application before the expiration of the stay. The ANDA or 505(b)(2) application also will not be approved until 
any applicable non-patent exclusivity listed in the Orange Book for the RLD has expired. 

Biosimilar Products. When a biological product is licensed for marketing by FDA through the approval of a 
BLA under section 351(a) of the PHSA, the product may be entitled to exclusivity barring FDA from accepting 
or  approving  an  application  under  section  351(k)  of  the  PHSA for  a  competing  products  for  certain  periods  of 
time. The Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (the “BPCIA”) added Section 351(k) of the 
PHSA,  which  provides  an  abbreviated  approval  pathway  for  biological  products  that  are  biosimilar  to  or 
interchangeable with an FDA-licensed reference biological product. The FDA may approve a biosimilar product 
if  it  finds  that  the  product  is  highly  similar  to  the  reference  product  notwithstanding  minor  differences  in 
clinically  inactive  components  and  there  are  no  clinically  meaningful  differences  between  the  proposed 
biosimilar product and the reference product in terms of safety, purity, and potency. For the FDA to approve an 
interchangeable biosimilar product, it must conclude that the product is biosimilar to the reference product, can 
be expected to produce the same clinical result as the reference product in any given patient, and—for a product 
that  is  administered  more  than  once  to  an  individual—alternating  or  switching  between  the  proposed 
interchangeable  product  and  the  reference  product  would  not  create  an  increased  risk  in  terms  of  safety  or 
diminished efficacy compared to using the reference product only. 

FDA will not accept a biosimilar application until four years after the date of first licensure of a biological 
product licensed under section 351(a) of the PHSA, and FDA will not approve a biosimilar application until 12 
years after  such date of first  licensure.  This type of exclusivity  is known as reference  product exclusivity. The 
approval of a supplemental BLA or certain subsequent BLAs does not give rise to a new date of first licensure, 
and,  consequently,  does  not  yield  an  additional  period  of  reference  product  exclusivity.  from  the  date  of  first 
licensure  of  a  biological  product  approved  under  section  351(a),  Moreover,  reference  product  exclusivity  does 
not affect the timing of FDA’s acceptance or approval of a competing sponsor’s section 351(a) BLA containing 
the sponsor’s own pre-clinical data and data from adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to demonstrate the 
safety, purity, and potency of its product. There have been recent legislative proposals to reduce the duration of 
the 12-year reference product exclusivity period, but none has been enacted to date. Moreover, many states have 
enacted laws that address pharmacy practices involving biosimilar products. 

Post-Approval  Requirements.  Any  drug,  biologic  or  medical  device  product  for  which  we  receive  FDA 
approval  will  be  subject  to  continuing  regulation  by  the  FDA,  including,  among  other  things,  record  keeping 
requirements, reporting of adverse events, providing FDA with updated safety and efficacy information, product 
sampling and distribution requirements, restrictions on advertising and promotion, and FDA inspections. Adverse 

20 

events that are reported after marketing approval can result in additional limitations being placed on the product’s 
distribution or use and, potentially, withdrawal or suspension of the product from the market. The FDA may also 
require post-approval clinical trials and/or safety labeling changes. 

Facilities  involved  in  the  manufacture  and  distribution  of  approved  products  are  required  to  be  registered 
with  the  FDA  and  certain  state  agencies  and  are  subject  to  periodic  unannounced  inspections  by  the  FDA  for 
compliance with cGMP and other laws. 

A company that is found to have improperly promoted unapproved or off-label uses or otherwise not to have 
met applicable  promotion  rules  may be subject  to significant  liability  under both the FDCA and other statutes, 
including the False Claims Act. 

Orphan Drugs. Under the Orphan Drug Act, an applicant can request the FDA to designate a product as an 
“orphan  drug” in the U.S. if  the drug is intended to treat a rare disease or condition. A disease or condition is 
considered rare if it affects fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S. or there is no reasonable expectation that the 
cost  of  developing  the  drug  and  making  it  available  in  the  United  States  will  be  recovered  from  sales  in  the 
United  States.  A  manufacturer  must  request  orphan  drug  designation  prior  to  submitting  a  BLA  or  NDA. 
Products designated as orphan drugs may be eligible for special grant funding for R&D, FDA assistance with the 
review  of  clinical  trial  protocols,  potential  tax  credits  for  research,  an  exemption  from  the  application  fee  for 
marketing applications and a seven-year period of orphan drug exclusivity after marketing approval. A grant of 
an orphan designation is not a guarantee that a product will be approved. 

Orphan drug exclusivity  (afforded  to the first  applicant  to receive approval for an orphan designated drug 
for a particular rare disease or condition) generally prevents FDA approval of another sponsor’s application for 
the  same  drug  or  for  the  same  rare  disease  or  condition.  Orphan  drug  exclusivity  will  not  bar  approval  of  the 
same product marketed by a different manufacturer under certain circumstances, including if the company with 
orphan drug exclusivity is not able to meet market demand or the subsequent product is shown to be clinically 
superior to the approved product on the basis of greater efficacy or safety, or providing a major contribution to 
patient care. 

Vaccine and Therapeutic Product Lot Protocol. Because the manufacturing process for biological products 
is complex, the FDA requires for many biologics, including most vaccines and immune globulin products, that 
each product lot undergo thorough testing for purity, potency, identity and sterility. FDA may request samples of 
any lot and, when deemed necessary for the safety, purity, and potency of the product, FDA may prohibit us from 
distributing  a  lot  until  FDA releases  the  lot.  Several  of  our  vaccines  are  subject  to  lot  release  protocols  by  the 
FDA and other regulatory agencies. 

Marketing Approval – Devices 

Devices may be marketed as stand-alone devices or as constituent parts of a Combination Product, such as a 
device  for  delivery  of  a  drug  product.  Unless  an  exemption  applies,  each  medical  device  commercially 
distributed in the United States requires either FDA clearance of a 510(k) premarket notification, approval of a 
premarket approval application (“PMA”) or issuance of a de novo classification order. 

Medical devices are classified into one of three classes — Class I, Class II or Class III—depending on the 
degree of risk and the level of control necessary to assure the safety and effectiveness  of each medical device. 
Medical  devices  deemed  to  pose  lower  risks  are  generally  placed  in  either  Class  I  or  II.  While  most  Class  I 
devices are exempt from the 510(k) premarket notification requirement, manufacturers of most Class II devices 
are  required  to  submit  to  the  FDA a  pre-market  notification.  Devices  deemed  by  the  FDA to  pose  the  greatest 
risk,  such  as  life-sustaining  life-supporting  or  many  implantable  devices,  or  devices  that  have  been  found  not 
substantially  equivalent  to  a  legally  marketed  Class  I  or  Class  II  predicate  device,  are  placed  in  Class  III, 
requiring approval of a PMA. 

21 

All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance 
with the FDA’s investigational device exemption (“IDE”) regulations that govern investigational device labeling, 
prohibit  promotion  of  the  investigational  device,  and  specify  an  array  of  study  review  and  approval,  informed 
consent, recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. If the 
device presents a “significant risk” to human health, as defined by the FDA, the FDA requires the device sponsor 
to  submit  an  IDE  application  to  the  FDA,  which  must  become  effective  prior  to  commencing  human  clinical 
trials.  All  clinical  device  studies,  including  non-significant  risk  studies,  must  be  approved  by,  and  conducted 
under  the  oversight  of,  an  Institutional  Review  Board  (“IRB”).  The  IRB  is  responsible  for  the  initial  and 
continuing review of the study and may pose additional requirements for the conduct of the study. 

Both  before  and  after  a  medical  device  is  commercially  distributed,  manufacturers  and  marketers  of  the 
device  have  ongoing  responsibilities  under  FDA regulations,  including,  for  example,  establishment  registration 
and  device  listing;  compliance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Quality  System  Regulation  (“QSR”);  compliance 
with  requirements  regarding  the  labeling  and  marketing  of  devices;  medical  device  reporting  regulations; 
correction  and  removal  reporting  regulations;  compliance  with  requirements  for  Unique  Device  Identification 
(“UDI”); and post-market surveillance activities and requirements. 

Device  manufacturers  are  subject  to  periodic  and  unannounced inspection  by the FDA. The FDA reviews 
design and manufacturing practices, record keeping, reports of adverse events, labeling and other information to 
ensure  compliance  with  the  QSR  and  other  applicable  requirements,  and  to  identify  potential  problems  with 
manufacturing processes and marketed medical devices. 

A  combination  product  is  a  product  comprised  of  two  or  more  regulated  components  (e.g.,  a  drug  and 
device)  that  are  combined  into  a  single  product,  co-packaged,  or  sold  separately  but  intended  for 
co-administration,  as  evidenced  by  the  labeling  for  the  products  (cross-labeling).  Like  their  constituent  parts—
e.g., drugs and devices—combination products are highly regulated and subject to a broad range of pre- and post-
market  requirements  including  premarket  review,  cGMPs,  or  QSRs,  adverse  event  reporting,  periodic  reports, 
labeling and advertising and promotion requirements and restrictions, market withdrawal and recall. Combination 
products  are  typically  reviewed  through  a marketing  submission  that  corresponds  to the constituent  part  which 
provides  the  primary  mode  of  action  (“PMOA”)  for  the  combination  product.  For  example,  if  the  PMOA  of  a 
device-biologic  combination  product  is  attributable  to  the  biologic,  the  agency  center  that  reviews  biologics 
would have the primary jurisdiction for the review. 

The  FDA  also  regulates  the  export  of  medical  devices  from  the  U.S.,  and  medical  devices  that  have  not 
received  FDA  approval,  or  clearance  or  are  exempt  from  premarket  review  requirements,  are  subject  to  FDA 
export requirements. 

Manufacturing Requirements 

The FDA’s regulations require that drugs be manufactured in specific approved facilities and in accordance 
with cGMPs. The cGMP regulations include requirements relating to organization and personnel, buildings and 
facilities,  equipment,  control  of  components  and  product  containers  and  closures,  production  and  process 
controls, packaging and labeling controls, holding and distribution, laboratory controls, records and reports, and 
returned  and  salvaged  products.  The  manufacturing  processes  for  devices  must  likewise  be  performed  in 
compliance with the applicable portions of the QSR, which covers the methods and the facilities and controls for 
the  design,  manufacture,  testing,  production,  processes,  controls,  quality  assurance,  labeling,  packaging, 
distribution,  installation  and  servicing  of  finished  devices  intended  for  human  use.  Manufacturers  and  other 
entities involved in the manufacture and distribution of cleared, approved, or otherwise authorized products are 
required to register their establishments with the FDA, and in some instances state agencies, and they are subject 
to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA for compliance with cGMPs and other requirements. 

Inspections  must  follow  a  “risk-based  schedule”  that  may  result  in  certain  establishments  being  inspected 
more  frequently.  Manufacturers  may  also  have  to  provide,  on request,  electronic  or  physical  records  regarding 
their establishments. Delaying, denying, limiting, or refusing inspection by the FDA may lead to a product being 

22 

deemed to be adulterated. Changes to the manufacturing process, specifications or container closure system for 
an approved drug product are strictly regulated and often require prior FDA approval before being implemented. 
Likewise,  FDA’s  regulations  require  clearance  of  a  new  510(k)  premarket  notification  for  modifications  to 
510(k)  cleared  devices  that  could  significantly  affect  safety  or  effectiveness  or  that  would  constitute  a  major 
change  in  the  intended  use  of  the  device,  and  approval  of  a  PMA  supplement  for  certain  modifications  to 
PMA-approved devices that affect the safety or effectiveness of the device. The FDA’s regulations also require, 
among other things, the investigation and correction of any deviations from cGMP or failures to follow the QSR 
and the maintenance of applicable documentation by the sponsor and any third-party manufacturers involved in 
producing the approved, cleared, or otherwise authorized product. 

Regulation Outside of the U.S. 

Currently, we maintain a commercial presence in the U.S. and Canada as well as certain other countries. In 
the  EU,  medicinal  products  are  authorized  following  a  process  that  is  similarly  demanding  as  the  process 
required in the U.S. Drug products may be authorized in one of two ways, either through the mutual recognition/
decentralized procedure, which provides for the mutual recognition procedure of national approval decisions by 
the competent authorities of the EU Member States or through the centralized procedure, which provides for the 
grant of a single marketing authorization that is valid for all EU member states. Each foreign country has its own 
regulatory  requirements  to  medical  devices.  Before  a  medical  device  can  be  placed  on  the  market  in  the  EU 
compliance  with  the  requirements  of  the  Medical  Devices  Regulation  (EU)  2017/745  must  be  demonstrated  in 
order to affix the CE Mark to the product. The method of assessing conformity varies depending on the class of 
the  product,  but  normally  involves  a  combination  of  self-assessment  by  the  manufacturer  and  a  third-party 
assessment by a notified body. We are also subject to many of the same continuing post-approval requirements in 
the EU as we are in the U.S. (e.g., good manufacturing practices). 

As of January 1, 2021, the UK is no longer part of the EU following “Brexit”. All existing EU law in force 
on December 31, 2020 has been retained in UK law, subject to certain revisions that have become necessary as a 
result of Brexit. Thus, at least initially, the UK and the EU laws were aligned. Northern Ireland continues to be 
subject to EU rules governing medicines and medical devices under the Northern Ireland Protocol. However, EU 
laws  that  took  effect  after  January  1,  2021,  including  the  EU  Medical  Devices  Regulation,  are  not  effective  in 
Great Britain, comprising  England, Scotland and Wales, and the national laws applicable  in Great Britain may 
further diverge from EU law in the future. 

Potential Sanctions 

For all FDA-regulated products, if the FDA finds that a manufacturer has failed to comply with applicable 
laws and regulations, or that a product is ineffective or poses an unreasonable health risk, it can institute or seek a 
wide variety of enforcement actions and remedies, including but not limited to: 

•

•

•

•

restrictions on products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes; 

restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product; 

restrictions on distribution or use of a product; 

requirements to conduct post-marketing studies or clinical trials; 

• warning letters or untitled letters; 

• withdrawal of the products from the market; 

•

•

•

refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that are submitted; 

recall of products; 

fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenues; 

23 

•

•

•

•

suspension or withdrawal of marketing approvals; 

refusal to permit the import or export of our products; 

product seizure; and 

injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties. 

Health regulatory authorities in other countries have similar rules and regulations although the specifics vary 

from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. 

Fraud, Abuse and Anti-Corruption Laws 

The  U.S.  and  most  other  jurisdictions  have  detailed  requirements  that  apply  to  government  and  private 
health  care  programs,  and  a  broad  range  of  fraud  and  abuse  laws,  transparency  laws,  and  other  laws.  Relevant 
U.S. federal and state healthcare laws and regulations include: 

• The federal Anti-Kickback Statute; 

• The False Claims Act; 

• The federal  Health Insurance  Portability  and Accountability  Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by 

the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (“HITECH”) Act; 

• The  price  reporting  requirements  under  the  Medicaid  Drug  Rebate  Program  and  the  Veterans  Health 

Care Act of 1992; 

• The federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act, being implemented as the Open Payments Program; and 

• Analogous and similar state laws and regulations. 

Our  operations  are  also  subject  to  compliance  with  the  Foreign  Corrupt  Practices  Act  (“FCPA”)  which 
prohibits  corporations  and  individuals  from  corruptly  paying,  offering  to  pay,  or  authorizing  the  payment  of 
anything of value to any foreign government official, government staff member, political party or party official, 
or political candidate, directly or indirectly, in an attempt to influence a person working in an official capacity or 
otherwise  obtain  an  improper  advantage.  We  also  may  be  impacted  under  the  FCPA  by  the  activities  of  our 
distributors,  collaborators,  contract  research  organizations,  vendors,  consultants,  agents,  or  other  business 
partners. As a public company, the FCPA also requires us to make and keep books and records that accurately 
and  fairly  reflect  all  of  our  transactions  and  to  devise  and  maintain  an  adequate  system  of  internal  accounting 
controls.  Our  operations  are  also  subject  to  compliance  with  the  U.K.  Bribery  Act,  which  applies  to  bribery 
activities both in the public and private sector, Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act and similar 
laws in other countries. 

Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to criminal or civil penalties. 

Regulations Governing Reimbursement 

The  marketing  practices  of  U.S.  pharmaceutical  manufacturers  are  also  subject  to  federal  and  state 

healthcare laws related to government funded healthcare programs. 

In  the  U.S.,  certain  of  our  products  are  reimbursed  under  federal  and  state  health  care  programs  such  as 
Medicaid,  Medicare,  TriCare,  and  or  state  pharmaceutical  assistance  programs.  Many  foreign  countries  have 
similar laws. 

Various U.S. federal health care laws apply when we or customers submit claims for items or services that 
are reimbursed under federally funded health care programs, including federal and state anti-kickback laws, false 
claims laws, and anti-self-referral laws, which may apply to federal and state-funded Medicaid and other health 
care programs and private third-party payers. 

24 

Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could subject us to criminal or civil penalties. 

Additionally,  drug  pricing  is  an  active  area  for  regulatory  reform  at  the  federal  and  state  levels,  and 
significant  changes  to current  drug pricing and reimbursement  structures  in the U.S. continue to be considered 
and enacted. For example, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), was signed into law on August 16, 
2022. As written, the IRA will, among other provisions, give HHS the ability and authority to directly negotiate 
with manufacturers the price that Medicare will pay for certain single-source drugs that account for the highest 
total Medicare spending. The IRA will also require manufacturers of certain Part B and Part D drugs to issue to 
HHS rebates  based on certain  calculations  and triggers  (i.e., when drug prices  increase and outpace the rate of 
inflation).  The  Centers  for  Medicare  &  Medicaid  Services  is  in  the  process  of  implementing  a  Medicare  Drug 
Price  Negotiation  Program,  and  this  program  may  affect  future  Medicare  reimbursement  for  certain  of  our 
products. 

Data Privacy Laws 

A  number  of  states  in  the  U.S.  have  passed  or  introduced  bills,  which,  if  passed,  impose  operational 
requirements on U.S. companies similar to the requirements reflected in the General Data Protection Regulation 
(“GDPR”) in the EU. For example, the California  Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), which came into 
effect on January 1, 2020, requires covered companies that process personal information on California residents 
to make new disclosures to consumers about their data collection, use and sharing practices, allows consumers to 
opt  out  of  certain  data  sharing  with  third  parties  and  provides  a  new  private  right  of  action  for  data  breaches. 
Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission and many state attorney generals are interpreting federal and state 
consumer protection laws to impose standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of data. 
The compliance and other burdens imposed by the EU’s GDPR, CCPA and similar privacy laws and regulations 
may be substantial as they are subject to differing interpretations  and implementation  among jurisdictions.  The 
restrictions  imposed by such laws may require us to modify our data handling practices  and impose additional 
compliance costs and burdens. 

Other Industry Regulation 

Our  present  and  future  business  has  been  and  will  continue  to  be  subject  to  various  other  laws  and 
regulations.  Various  laws,  regulations  and  recommendations  relating  to  safe  working  conditions,  laboratory 
practices, the experimental use of animals, and the purchase, storage, movement, import, export, use and disposal 
of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including radioactive compounds and infectious disease agents 
used in connection with our product development, are or may be applicable to our activities. 

HUMAN CAPITAL 

We value our employees and the contributions each of them makes to achieving our mission to protect and 
enhance life. We are committed to working together toward our long-term aspiration to protect and enhance one 
billion  lives  by  2030.  We  strive  to  create  an  environment  that  is  professionally  and  personally  rewarding  by 
offering  challenging  work and projects for individual and team contribution,  and opportunities  for professional 
and  personal  development.  Ongoing  investments  in  employee  engagement  and  leadership  development  remain 
essential to building the capabilities needed to realize our business strategy. As of December 31, 2022, we had 
approximately 2,500 employees. 

In  January  2023,  we  announced  an  organizational  restructuring  as  part  of  our  sharpened  strategic  focus, 
which  resulted  in  the  elimination  of  132  roles.  In  February  2023,  we  announced  that  we  entered  into  an 
agreement to sell our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic and approximately 280 employees are expected to 
join Bavarian Nordic as part of the transaction. 

25 

Health and Wellness 

Employee health and well-being remain a priority of acute importance to our company. As 2022 progressed 
and  regional  health  risks  and  safety  requirements  changed,  we  continued  to  adjust  our  approach  to  ensure  that 
operation-critical development and manufacturing employees working on-site had access to appropriate personal 
protective  equipment,  enhanced  facility  procedures,  and  other  resources.  Additionally,  we  transitioned  many 
employees who had been working remotely back into our facilities in a full-time or part-time manner to support 
business priorities. Other employees maintain a full-time remote work status and we continue to equip them with 
productivity and collaboration tools and resources. 

Hiring and Talent Management 

We focus on building leaders at every level with the requisite scientific, technical and professional skills to 
develop  and  deliver  products  and  services  that  protect  life.  We  have  consistent  talent  processes  and  systems 
across the company including performance management, training and development and succession planning. We 
recognize  the  need  for  ongoing  skill  enhancement  and  support  continued  learning  through  on-the-job 
assignments,  training  programs,  tuition  assistance  professional  memberships  and  professional  conference 
attendance. We use the Gallup Q12 instrument  to measure employee engagement and inclusion and administer 
“pulse surveys” throughout the year to gather feedback on matters of interest and importance to our employees 
and our business. 

Compensation and Benefits 

Our total rewards plan consists of competitive salaries, bonuses, and for employees in eligible roles, equity 
awards  based  on  company,  group  and  individual  performance.  We  focus  on  results  and  behavior  because  we 
value  how  we  do  things  as  much  as  getting  them  done.  This  approach  is  core  to  our  pay-for-performance 
philosophy. We continue to provide employees access to country-specific salary range information so that they 
may  have  greater  visibility  to  their  current  compensation  levels  and  more  context  as  they  explore  developing 
their careers through new roles within our company. In our industry ongoing skill enhancement is essential and 
we continue to support continuous learning through on-the-job assignments, training programs, tuition assistance, 
professional memberships and professional conference attendance. 

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commitment 

Diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”) is integral to how we operate and our success. We are committed to 
attracting, developing, and retaining the best talent reflecting a diversity of ideas, backgrounds, and perspectives. 
DEI fuels our business growth, drives innovation in the products and services we develop, in the way we solve 
problems, and how we serve the needs of a global and diverse patient, customer and partner base. We recognize 
the value that diversity contributes to our global organization and the competitive advantage we can maintain by 
cultivating  a  culture  of  inclusion  to  benefit  from  our  broad  range  of  talents,  perspectives,  and  ideas.  We 
demonstrate  respect  for  the  individual  by  providing  fair  and  equal  treatment  to  all  our  employees  and 
continuously identifying ways to recognize their various needs and interests. One example of our commitment is 
demonstrated  by  our  first  three  inaugural  Emergent  Resource  Groups  (“ERGs”)  for  black,  women  and  veteran 
employees. While aligned by constituency, our ERGs are open to all employees and are another way we will look 
to  catalyze  a  sense  of  belonging  and  connection  to  the  organization.  These  groups  open  pathways  of 
communication, help to expand learning opportunities, and offer avenues to advance our business strategy. 

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE 

Our  mission  to  protect  and  enhance  life  has  motivated  us  to  explore  our  impact  at  a  broader  scale  — 
environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) stewardship, corporate responsibility, and ethics. Our approach to 
these  issues is the foundation of good governance and strengthens  accountability  in all aspects of our business 

26 

activities  and  relationships.  Our  ESG  efforts  are  led  by  a  cross-functional  working  group,  overseen  by  the 
Nominating  and  Corporate  Governance  Committee,  guided  by our  Internal  Executive  Steering  Committee,  and 
under the responsibility of the Vice President, Assistant Treasurer reporting into the Chief Financial Officer. 

Each  year,  we assess  our  ESG priority  areas  and  develop  action  items  to  advance  progress  in  these  areas. 
These  areas  include  access  to  medicine,  community  engagement,  compliance,  corporate  governance,  diversity, 
equity  and  inclusion,  employee  engagement,  environmental,  health  and  employee  safety,  governmental 
relationship,  innovation,  manufacturing  and  product  quality,  patient  and  drug  safety,  scientific  integrity,  and 
supply  chain  management.  Our  strategy  is  influenced  by  the  Task  Force  on  Climate-Related  Disclosures 
framework  as  well  as  the  Sustainability  Accounting  Standards  Board’s  standards  focused  on  the  healthcare, 
biotechnology,

Our  ESG  strategy  is  influenced  by  the  Task  Force  on  Climate-Related  Financial  Disclosures  (“TCFD”) 
framework  as  well  as  the  Sustainability  Accounting  Standards  Board’s  (“SASB”)  standards  focused  on  the 
healthcare,  biotechnology,  and  pharmaceutical  industries.  The  SASB  standards  provide  guidelines  on  key 
sustainability issues that directly impact the operational performance and financial condition of our company. 

Strengthening our culture and the quality of products and services we offer is an ongoing endeavor. Open 
and  transparent  communication  with  employees,  customers,  government  officials,  and  community  partners  is 
vital to our success. 

ESG Priority Issues 

Each year, we will conduct an assessment of these priorities and develop action items to advance progress in 
these areas. Our board will provide oversight and governance over the implementation and disclosures relating to 
our ESG strategy: 

• Access to Medicine 

• Community Engagement 

• Compliance 

• Corporate Governance 

• Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 

• Employee Engagement 

• Environmental, Health and Employee Safety 

• Governmental Relationships 

•

Innovation 

• Manufacturing and Product Quality

Sustainability and Environmental Management 

We recognize that our operations have an impact on our local and global communities from the waste we 
generate,  the  energy  we  source,  and  the  water  we  discharge.  Environmental  sustainability  is  a  central 
consideration when improving and innovating our operational infrastructure across our enterprise and we must do 
out part to reverse the impacts of climate change which threaten environmental and human health. 

27 

We  evaluate  ESG  risks  and  opportunities  related  to  climate  change  through  the  framework  that  the  Task 
Force  on  Climate-Related  Financial  Disclosures  (“TCFD”)  recommends:  (i)  governance,  (ii)  strategy,  and 
(iii)  risk  management.  As  we  further  develop  our  environmental  sustainability  strategies,  we  intend  to  collect 
data  on  our  Scope  1  and  Scope  2  greenhouse  gas  (GHG)  emissions  associated  with  our  material  operations. 
Doing so will enable Emergent to establish an energy baseline and prioritize future footprint reductions. 

This will also allow us to make informed decisions on setting targets and creating an accompanying strategy 
and road map for meeting our goals. In congruence, Emergent will determine the relevance of disclosure related 
to the quantifiable financial impact to our company under various global warming scenarios in line with TCFD 
recommendations. 

Board Committee Oversight 

The  primary  oversight  of  ESG  issues  is  delegated  to  the  Audit  Committee,  with  active  involvement  and 
participation  in  the  oversight  activities  from  both  the  Compensation  and  the  Nominating  and  Corporate 
Governance committees. Our management provides regular updates on ESG initiatives and progress at both the 
committee  and  full  board  meetings.  Each  director  serves  on  at  lease  one  committee.  The  composition  of  the 
committees, biographies of our directors, and other relevant corporate governance information are available on 
the  investor  section  of  our  website  under  “Governance.”  In  addition,  we  also  provide  detailed  corporate 
governance information, disclosures, and data in our annual proxy statement.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTING RISKS 

We currently derive a substantial portion of our 
revenue  from  USG  procurement  of  the  AV7909 
vaccine  and  the  TEMBEXA®  (brincidofovir),  oral 
antiviral  and  have  historically  derived  a  substantial 
portion of our revenue from USG procurement of the 
ACAM2000  vaccine  and  of  BioThrax.  If  the  USG’s 
demand  for  and/or  funding  for  procurement  of 
AV7909, BioThrax and/or ACAM2000 vaccines and/
or  TEMBEXA®  (brincidofovir),  oral  antiviral  are 
substantially

condition, operating results and cash flows would be 
materially harmed. 

reduced,  our  business, 

We  derive  a  substantial  portion  of  our  current 
and expected future revenues from USG procurement 
of AV7909. As AV7909 is a product candidate, there 
is  a  higher  level  of  risk  that  we  may  encounter 
challenges  causing  delays  or  an  inability  to  deliver 
AV7909  than  with  BioThrax,  an  approved  product, 
which  may  have  a  material  effect  on  our  ability  to 
generate and recognize revenue. 

The  success  of  our  business  and  our  future 
operating  results  are  significantly  dependent  on 
anticipated  funding  for  the  procurement  of  our 
anthrax  vaccines  and  the  terms  of  such  procurement 
by the USG, including the price per dose, the number 
of  doses  and  the  timing  of  deliveries.  We  have  no 
certainty  that  funding  will  be made  available  for  the 
procurement of our anthrax vaccines. If priorities for 
the  Strategic  National  Stockpile  (“SNS”)  change 
generally,  or  as  a  result  of  the  conclusion  of  the 
USG’s audit of the SNS, or with respect to the level 
of  procurement  of  our  anthrax  vaccines,  funding  to 
procure  future  doses  of  AV7909  or  BioThrax 
vaccines  may  be  delayed,  limited  or  not  available, 
BARDA  may  never  complete  the  anticipated  full 
transition  to  stockpiling  AV7909  in  support  of 
anthrax  preparedness,  and  our  future  business, 
financial  condition,  operating  results  and  cash  flows 
could be materially harmed. 

In  addition,  in  the  past  we  have  derived  a 
substantial  portion  of  our  revenues  from  sales  of 
ACAM2000 vaccine to the USG. If priorities for the 
SNS  change  with  respect  to  ACAM2000  vaccine  or 
the  USG  decides  not  to  exercise  additional  options 
under  our  ACAM2000  contract,  our  future  business, 
financial  condition,  operating  results  and  cash  flows 
could be materially harmed. 

We may not receive FDA approval of AV7909 in 
a  timely  manner  or  at  all.  Delays  in  our  ability  to 
achieve  a  favorable  outcome  from  the  FDA,  or  lack 
of  approval  from  the  FDA,  could  prevent  us  from 
realizing  the  full  potential  value  of  our  BARDA 
contract 
the  advanced  development  and 
for 
procurement of AV7909. 

In collaboration with us, the CDC filed with the 
FDA  a  pre-EUA  submission  package  related  to 
AV7909,  which  enables  FDA  review  of  data  in 
anticipation  of a request for an EUA. Following this 
submission,  BARDA  began  procuring  AV7909, 
exercising  its  first  contract  option  in  July  2019  to 
procure  10  million  doses  of  AV7909,  its  second 
contract  option  in  July  2020  and,  most  recently, 
funding another procurement commitment in October 
2021 for inclusion of additional doses into the SNS in 
support of anthrax preparedness. 

In  April  2022,  we  completed 

the  rolling 
submission  of  a  Biologics  License  Application 
(“BLA”) filing with the FDA related to AV7909 and 

31 

the  services  to  be  performed  during  these  option 
periods may constitute the majority of the total value 
of 
the 
the  underlying  contract.  For  example, 
September 2016 contract award from BARDA for the 
development and delivery to the SNS of AV7909 for 
post-exposure prophylaxis of anthrax disease consists 
of  a  five-year  base  period  of  performance  and 
includes  options  for  the  delivery  of  additional  doses 
of AV7909 to the SNS and options for an additional 
clinical study and post-marketing commitments. This 
contract  was  extended  in  September  2021  through 
2025  and  provides  for  additional  procurement  of 
AV7909  for  the  SNS  over  18  months.  If  levels  of 
government  expenditures  and  authorizations  for 
public  health  countermeasure  preparedness  decrease 
or  shift  to  programs  in  areas  where  we  do  not  offer 
products or are not developing product candidates, or 
if the USG otherwise declines to exercise its options 
under  our  existing  contracts,  our  revenues  would 
suffer,  as  well  as  our  business,  financial  condition, 
operating results and cash flows. 

There can be no assurance that we will be able 
to  secure  follow-on  product  procurement  contracts 
with  the  USG  upon  the  expiration  of  any  of  our 
existing procurement contracts.

A  significant  portion  of  our 

is 
substantially  dependent  upon  product  procurement 
contracts with the USG and foreign governments for 
our  MCMs.  Upon  the  expiration  of  a  procurement 
contract, we may not be able to negotiate a follow-on 
procurement  contract  for  the  particular  product  on 
similar  terms.  We  intend  to  negotiate  follow-on 
procurement  contracts  for  most  of  our  MCMs  upon 
the  expiration  of  a  related  procurement  contract,  but 
there  can be no assurance that we will be successful 
obtaining  any  follow-on  contracts.  Even  if  we  are 
successful  in  negotiating  a  follow-on  procurement 
contract, it may be for a lower product volume, over 
a  shorter  period  of  performance  or  be  on  less 
favorable  pricing  or  other  terms.  An  inability  to 
secure  follow-on  procurement  contracts  for  our 
approved  products  or  product  candidates  could 
materially and adversely affect our revenues, and our 
business,  financial  condition,  operating  results  and 
cash flows could be harmed. 

the  application  has  been  accepted  for  review.  There 
can  be  no  guarantee  on  the  outcomes  of  the  FDA 
review.  The  FDA  may  decide  that  our  data  are 
insufficient  and  may  require  additional  pre-clinical, 
clinical  or  other  studies.  If  we  are  unsuccessful  in 
obtaining FDA licensure, in a timely manner or at all, 
we may not be able to realize the full potential value 
of the USG contract for AV7909, which could have a 
material  adverse  effect  on  our  future  business, 
financial condition, operating results and cash flows. 
Furthermore, prior to FDA licensure, if we obtain an 
EUA, the EUA could be terminated if the emergency 
determination underlying the EUA terminates. 

Our  USG  procurement  and  development 
contracts  require  ongoing  funding  decisions  by  the 
USG. Any reduction or discontinuation of funding of 
any  of  these  contracts  could  cause  our  business, 
financial condition, operating results and cash flows 
to suffer materially.

development contracts and grants. Over its lifetime, a 
USG  procurement  or  development  program,  such  as 
for AV7909 under our development and procurement 
contract with BARDA, may be implemented through 
the award of many different individual contracts and 
subcontracts.  The  funding  for  such  government 
programs  is  subject  to  Congressional  appropriations, 
generally  made  on  a  fiscal  year  basis,  even  for 
programs  designed  to  continue  for  several  years. 
These  appropriations  can  be  subject  to  a  number  of 
uncertainties, 
including  political  considerations, 
changes  in  priorities  due  to  global  pandemics,  the 
results  of  elections  and

Our  business  involves  government  contracts  and

the 

The  USG  may  choose  not  to  award  us  future 
contracts  for  either  the  development  of  our  new 
product  candidates  or  for  the  procurement  of  our 
existing MCM products and may instead award such 
contracts  to  our  competitors.  If  we  are  unable  to 
secure  particular  contracts,  we  may  not  be  able  to 
operate  in  the  market  for  products  that  are  provided 
under those contracts. Additionally, if we are unable 
to  consistently  win  new  contract  awards  over  an 
extended  period,  or  if  we  fail  to  anticipate  all  of  the 
costs  or  resources  that  we will  be required  to secure 
and,  if  applicable,  perform  under  such  contract 
awards,  our  growth  strategy  and  our  business, 
financial  condition  and  operating  results  and  cash 
flows could be materially and adversely affected. 

The amounts we are paid under our fixed price 
government  procurement  contracts  are  based  on 
estimates  we  have  made  of  the  time,  resources  and 
expenses  required  for  us  to  perform  under  those 
contracts.  If  our  actual  costs  exceed  our  estimates, 
we  may  not  be  able  to  earn  an  adequate  return  or 
may incur a loss under these contracts, which could 
harm our operating results and materially reduce our 
net income. 

that  any 

Our current procurement contracts with the U.S. 
Department  of  Health  (“HHS”)  and 
the  U.S. 
Department  of  Defense  (“DoD”)  are  generally  fixed 
price  contracts.  We  expect 
future 
procurement  contracts  we  successfully  secure  with 
the  USG  would  likely  also  be  fixed  price  contracts. 
Under  a  fixed  price  contract,  we  are  required  to 
deliver our products at a fixed price regardless of the 
actual  costs  we  incur.  Estimating  costs  that  are 
related  to  performance  in  accordance  with  contract 
specifications  is  difficult,  particularly  where  the 
period  of  performance  is  over  several  years,  and 
when  factoring  in  higher  levels  of  inflation.  Our 
failure  to  anticipate  technical  problems,  estimate 
costs  accurately  or  control  costs  during  performance 
of a fixed price contract could reduce the profitability 
of such a contract or cause a loss, which could harm 
our  operating  results  and  materially  reduce  our  net 
income. 

Unfavorable  provisions  in  government  contracts, 
some  of  which  may  be  customary,  may  subject  our 
business  to  material  limitations,  restrictions  and 
uncertainties  and  may  have  a  material  adverse 
impact  on  our  business, 
financial  condition, 
operating results and cash flows. 

Government  contracts  customarily  contain 
provisions  that  give  the  USG  substantial  rights  and 
remedies,  many  of  which  are  not  typically  found  in 
commercial contracts, including provisions that allow 
the USG to: 

•

•

•

terminate existing contracts, in whole or in 
part, for any reason; 

unilaterally  reduce  or  modify  contracts  or 
subcontracts; 

decline,  in  whole  or  in  part,  to  exercise  an

termination  or 
provisions  permitting  unilateral 
modification,  in  whole  or  in  part,  at  the  USG’s 
convenience. Under general principles of government 
contracting law, if the USG terminates a contract for 
convenience, the government contractor may recover 
only  its  incurred  or  committed  costs,  settlement 
expenses  and  profit  on  work  completed  prior  to  the 
termination.  If  the  USG  terminates  a  contract  for 
default,  the  government  contractor  is  entitled  to 
recover  costs  incurred  and  associated  profits  on 
accepted  items  only  and  may  be  liable  for  excess 
costs  incurred  by  the  government  in  procuring 
undelivered  items  from  another  source.  All  of  our 
development  and  procurement  contracts  with  the 
USG  are  terminable  at  their  convenience  with  these 
potential consequences. 

In  addition,  our  USG  contracts  grant  the  USG 
the  right  to  use  technologies  developed  by  us  under 
the  government  contract  or  the  right  to  share  data 
related  to  our  technologies,  for  or  on  behalf  of  the 
USG. Under our USG contracts, we may not be able 
to limit third parties, including our competitors, from 
accessing  certain  of  these  technology  or  data  rights, 
including intellectual property, in providing products 
and services to the USG.

manner,  which  would  reduce  our  revenues  and 
materially  harm  our  business,  financial  condition,

Providers  of  MCMs  could  be  subject  to  an 
increased  risk  of  terrorist  activities.  The  USG  has 
designated  both  our  Lansing,  Michigan  and  our 
Bayview  bulk  manufacturing  facility  in  Baltimore, 
Maryland  as  facilities  requiring  additional  security. 
Although we continually evaluate and update security 
measures,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  any 
additional  security  measures  would  protect  these 
facilities  from  terrorist  efforts  determined  to  disrupt 
our manufacturing activities.

Problems  may  arise  during  the  production  of 
our  products  and  product  candidates,  as  well  as 
those  we  produce  for  our  CDMO  customers,  due  to 
the  complexity  of  the  processes  involved  in  their 
development,  manufacturing  and  shipment  or  other 
factors.  Significant  delays  in  product  manufacturing 
or  development  and  our  ability 
to  ramp  up 
production to meet the needs of our customers could 
cause  delays  in  recognizing  revenues,  which  would 
harm  our  business,  financial  condition,  operating 
results and cash flows. 

The  majority  of  our  products  and  product 
candidates  are  biologics.  Manufacturing  biologics, 
especially  in  large  quantities,  is  complex.  The 
products  must  be  made  consistently  and 
in 
compliance  with  a  clearly-defined  manufacturing 
process.  Problems  during  manufacturing  may  arise 
for a variety of reasons, including problems with raw 
materials,  equipment  malfunction  and  failure  to 
follow  specific  protocols  and  procedures.  Slight 
deviations  anywhere  in  the  manufacturing  process, 
including  obtaining  materials,  maintaining  master 
seed  or  cell  banks  and  preventing  genetic  drift,  seed 
or cell growth, fermentation, contamination including 
from  particulates  among  other  things,  filtration, 
filling,  labeling,  packaging,  storage  and  shipping, 
potency and stability issues and other quality control 
testing,  may  result  in  lot  failures  or  manufacturing 
shut-downs,  delays  in  the  release  of  lots,  product 
recalls, spoilage or regulatory action. Such deviations 
may  require  us  to  revise  manufacturing  processes  or 
change  manufacturers.  Additionally, 
our 
equipment  ages,  it  will  need  to  be  replaced,  which 
has  the  potential  to  result  in  similar  consequences. 
Success  rates  can  also  vary  dramatically  at  different 
stages  of  the  manufacturing  process,  which  can 
reduce  yields  and  increase  costs.  From time  to time, 
we  may  experience  deviations  in  the  manufacturing 
process  that  may  take  significant  time  and resources 
to 
affect 
manufacturing  output  and  could  cause  us  to  fail  to 
satisfy  customer  orders  or  contractual  commitments, 
lead to a termination of one or more of our contracts, 
lead to delays in our clinical trials, result in litigation, 
the  marketing  or 
or  other 
manufacturing  of  a  product,  any  of  which  could  be 
costly  to  us,  damage  our  reputation  and  negatively 
impact our business. Regulatory action, including the 
issuance of Forms FDA 483 and warning letters can 
also have an impact.

Our operations, including our use of hazardous 
materials, chemicals, bacteria and viruses, require us 
to  comply  with  regulatory  requirements  and  expose 
us to significant potential liabilities. 

Our  operations  involve  the  use  of  hazardous 
materials,  including  chemicals,  bacteria  and  viruses, 
and  may  produce  dangerous  waste  products. 
Accordingly,  we,  along  with  the  third  parties  that 
conduct  clinical  trials  and  manufacture  our  products 
and  product  candidates  on  our  behalf,  are  subject  to 
federal,  state,  local  and  foreign  laws  and  regulations 
that govern the use, manufacture, distribution, storage, 
handling,  exposure,  disposal  and  recordkeeping  with 
respect  to  these  materials.  Under  the  Federal  Select 
Agent Program, pursuant to the Public Health Security 
and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act, we 
are  required  to  register  with  and  be  inspected  by  the 
CDC  and  the  Animal  and  Plant  Health  Inspection 
Service  if  we  have  in  our  possession,  or  if  we  use  or 
transfer,  select  biological  agents  or  toxins  that  could 
pose a threat to public health and safety, to animal or 
plant  health  or  to  animal  or  plant  products.  This 
legislation  requires  stringent  safeguards  and  security 
measures for these select agents and toxins, including 
controlled  access  and  the  screening  of  entities  and 
personnel  and  establishes  a  comprehensive  national 
database of registered entities. We are also subject to a 
variety  of  environmental  and  occupational  health  and 
safety  laws.  Compliance  with  current  or  future  laws 
and  regulations  in  this  area  can  require  significant 
costs and we could be subject to substantial fines and 
penalties  in  the  event  of  noncompliance.  In  addition, 
the  risk  of  contamination  or  injury  from  these 
materials  cannot  be  completely  eliminated.  In  such 
event,  we  could  be  held  liable  for  substantial  civil 
damages  or  costs  associated  with  the  cleanup  of 
hazardous materials. From time to time, we have been 
involved  in  remediation  activities  and  may  be  so 
involved  in  the  future.  Any  related  cost  or  liability 
might not be fully covered by insurance, could exceed 
our resources and could have a material adverse effect 
on  our  business,  financial  condition,  operating  results 
and  cash  flows.  In  addition  to  complying  with 
environmental  and  occupational  health  and  safety 
laws, we must comply with special regulations relating 
to  biosafety  administered  by  the  CDC,  HHS,  U.S. 
Department  of  Agriculture  and  the  DoD,  as  well  as 
regulatory authorities in Canada and Switzerland.

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND 
COMMERCIALIZATION RISKS 

The  product  candidates  that  we  work  on  for  our 
CDMO  customers  may  not  be  safe  or  effective  and 
even  if  they  are,  we  may  be  unable  to  manufacture 
sufficient quantities to meet demand. 

We  may  provide  CDMO  services  for  the 
development  and/or  manufacture  of  various  product 
candidates.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  these 
product  candidates  will  be  safe  or  effective  or  that 
they  will  be  authorized  for  emergency  use  or 
approved by the FDA or any other health regulatory 
authority. Even if product candidates are found to be 
safe  and/or  effective  and  receive  authorization  or 
approval  by  a  health  regulatory  authority  or  we 
receive  authorization  to  produce  drug  substance  or 
drug  product  at  our  facilities,  the  manufacturing 
processes  for  our  CDMO  programs  are  under 
development  and  are  complex.  There  can  be  no

conduct  pre-clinical  studies  and  clinical  trials  to 
establish proof of concept and demonstrate the safety 
and  efficacy  of  our  product  candidates.  Pre-clinical 
and  clinical  testing  is  expensive,  difficult  to  design 
and implement, can take many years to complete and 
is  uncertain  as  to  outcome.  Success  in  pre-clinical 
testing  and  early  clinical  trials  does  not  ensure  that 
later  clinical  trials  will  be  successful,  and  interim 
results  of  such  trials  do  not  necessarily  predict  final 
results.  An  unexpected  result  in  one  or  more  of  our 
clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. 

We may experience unforeseen events or issues 
during,  or  as  a  result  of,  pre-clinical  testing,  clinical 
trials  or  animal  efficacy  studies.  These  issues  and 
events,  which  could  delay  or  prevent  our  ability  to

Pre-clinical and clinical testing for certain of our 
MCM  product  candidates  may  face  additional 
difficulties  and  uncertainties  because  they  cannot 
ethically  or  feasibly  be  tested  in  human  subjects.  In 
the  U.S.  we  expect  to  rely  on  the  Animal  Rule  to 
obtain  regulatory  approval  for  some  of  our  MCM 
product  candidates.  The  Animal  Rule  permits,  for 
certain limited diseases and circumstances, the use of 
animal efficacy studies, together with human clinical 
safety  and  immunogenicity  trials,  to  support  an 
application  for  marketing  approval.  For  a  product 
approved  under  the  Animal  Rule,  certain  additional 
post-marketing  requirements  apply.  For  example,  to

REGULATORY AND COMPLIANCE RISKS 

There  are  a  number  of  complex  laws  and 
regulations that pertain to government contracts and 
compliance  with  those  laws  and  regulations  require

As a manufacturer and supplier of MCMs to the 
USG  addressing  PHTs,  we  must  comply  with 
the 
numerous 
and 
procurement, 
performance  of  government  contracts.  These  laws 
and  regulations  govern  how  we  transact  business 
with  our  government  clients  and,  in  some  instances, 
impose  additional  costs  and  related  obligations  on 
our operations. For a detailed description of the most 
significant  regulations  that  affect  our  government 
contracting  business,  see  the  prior  discussion  under 
“Regulation—Government Contracting.”

We may be subject to government investigations

investigate  government  contractors  for  compliance 
with applicable  laws and standards. Even though we 
take  significant  precautions  to  identify,  prevent  and 
deter fraud, misconduct and non-compliance, we face 
the  risk  that  our  personnel  or  outside  partners  may 
engage in misconduct, fraud or improper activities. If 
we  are  audited  or  investigated  and  such  audit  or 
investigation  were  to  uncover  improper  or  illegal 
activities,  we  could  be  subject  to  civil  and  criminal 
fines

including suspension or debarment from government 
contracting,  and suffer  significant  reputational  harm.

and  penalties, 

administrative 

Our  long-term  success  depends,  in  part,  upon 
our  ability  to  develop,  receive  regulatory  approval 
for  and  commercialize  product  candidates  we 
develop or acquire and, if we are not successful, our 
business,  financial  condition,  operating  results  and 
cash flows may suffer. 

Our  product  candidates  and 

the  activities 
associated  with  them  are  subject  to  extensive  FDA 

39 

labeling,  product 

regulation  and  oversight.  This  includes,  but  is  not 
limited  to,  laws  and  regulations  governing  product 
development,  product 
testing, 
manufacturing,  storage,  product  distribution,  record 
keeping,  and  advertising  and  promotion.  In  limited 
circumstances,  governments  may  have  the  authority 
to procure products that have not obtained regulatory 
approval  to  stockpile  for  emergency  preparedness 
and to respond to public health emergencies. In other 
circumstances,  failure  to  obtain  regulatory  approval 
for  a  product  candidate  will  prevent  us  from  selling 
and commercializing the product candidate. 

In  the  United  States,  to  obtain  authorization 
from FDA to market and sell any of our future drug, 
biologic, or vaccine products, we will be required to 
submit  an  NDA  or  BLA  to  the  FDA.  Under  the 
FDCA,  the  PHSA,  and  FDA’s  implementation  of 
those  statutes,  a  company  must  support  an  NDA  or 
BLA  with  substantial  evidence  that  the  product 
candidate is effective and evidence that the product is 
safe.  Ordinarily,  FDA  requires  data  from  adequate 
and  well-controlled  clinical  trials,  including  Phase  3 
trials  conducted  in  patients  with  the  disease  or 
condition  being  targeted,  to  demonstrate  that  a  drug 
meets  the  statutory  standards  for  approval.  Once  an 
NDA  or  BLA  is  submitted,  the  FDA  has  substantial 
discretion and may refuse to accept our application or 
may  decide  that  our  data  are  insufficient  to  support 
approval  and  require  additional  pre-clinical,  clinical 
or  other  studies.  Even  if  marketing  approval  of  a 
product  candidate  is  granted,  the  approval  may  be 
subject to limitations on the indicated uses for which 
the  product  may  be  marketed,  or  to  conditions  of 
approval,  or  contain  requirements  for  costly  post-
marketing  testing  and  surveillance  to  monitor  the 
safety  or  efficacy  of  the  product.  Likewise,  the  data 
in  our  device  submissions  may  be  insufficient  to 
support approval, de novo classification or clearance 
where  required,  and  we  may  not  be  able 
to 
demonstrate  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  FDA  that  our 
devices  are  safe  or  effective  for  their  intended  uses 
or,  for  a  510(k)  device,  that  they  are  substantially 
equivalent  to  the  predicate.  Even  if  we  are  granted 
510(k)  clearances,  de  novo  authorizations,  or  PMA 
approvals, they may include significant limitations on 
the indications for use for the device. 

Before we can market a new medical device, or

in many cases clinical data. Likewise, changes to our 
combination  products,  including  changes  to  the 
device  constituent  part,  may  also  require  a  new 
submission to, and approval from, FDA. 

However, our MCM product candidates may be 
eligible  for  approval  under  the  FDA’s  “Animal 
Rule,” under which findings from adequate and well 
controlled  animal  efficacy  studies  may  serve  as  the 
basis of an approval when it is not feasible or ethical 
to  conduct  efficacy  trials  in  humans.  We  cannot 
guarantee  that  the  FDA  will  permit  us  to  proceed 
with  approval  or  licensure  of  any  of  our  MCM 
product  candidates  under  the  Animal  Rule.  Even  if 
we  are  able  to  proceed  under  the  Animal  Rule, 
product development can take a considerable amount 
of  time,  and  the  FDA  may  decide  that  our  data  are 
insufficient

additional  pre-clinical,  clinical  or  other  studies, 
refuse  to  approve  our  products,  or  place  restrictions 
on  our  ability  to  commercialize  those  products. 
Furthermore,  products  approved  under  the  Animal 
Rule are subject to certain additional post-marketing 
requirements.  We  cannot  guarantee  that  we  will  be 
able  to  meet  this  regulatory  requirement  even  if  one 
or more of our product candidates are approved under 
the Animal Rule.

failure  inherent  in  the  medical  product  development 
process, and potential products that appear promising 
at early stages of development may fail for a number 
of  reasons,  and  positive  results  from  pre-clinical

human  clinical  trials.  Similarly,  promising  results

authority determines that any of our communications

if  we  or  our  collaborators  obtain

our ability to generate revenue.

Current and future legislation may increase the 
difficulty  and  cost  for  us  and  any  collaborators  to 
obtain marketing approval of and commercialize our 
product  candidates  and  may  affect  the  prices  we, or 
our collaborators, may obtain. 

In  the  United  States  and  foreign  jurisdictions, 
there  have  been  a  number  of 
legislative  and 
regulatory  changes  and  proposed  changes  regarding 
the  health  care  system  that  could  prevent  or  delay 
marketing approval of our product candidates, restrict 
or  regulate  post-approval  activities  and  affect  our 
ability  to  profitably  sell  any  product  candidates  for 
which we obtain marketing approval. We expect that

measures  that  may  be  adopted  in  the  future,  may

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, 
as  amended  by  the  Health  Care  and  Education 
Affordability  Reconciliation  Act  (collectively,  the 
ACA), passed in 2010 and substantially  changed the 
way  health  care  is  financed  by  both  governmental 
and  private  insurers,  and  significantly  impacted  the 
U.S.  biopharmaceutical  industry.  However,  some

subject  to  legal  and  political  challenges,  as  well  as 
efforts  by  the  last  Presidential  administration  to 
repeal  or  replace  certain  aspects  of  the  ACA.  On 
January  28,  2021,  however,  the  President  issued  an 
executive  order  to  strengthen  implementation  of  the 
ACA.  Concurrently,  Congress  considered  legislation 
that would repeal or repeal and replace all or part of 
the  ACA.  While  Congress  has  not  passed 
comprehensive repeal legislation, it has enacted laws 
that  modify  certain  provisions  of  the  ACA,  such  as 
removing  penalties  as  of  January  1,  2019  for  not 
complying  with  the  ACA’s  individual  mandate  to 
carry  health  insurance,  delaying  the  implementation 
of  certain  ACA-mandated  fees,  and  increasing  the 
point-of-sale discount that is owed by pharmaceutical 
manufacturers  who  participate  in  Medicare  Part  D. 
On June 17, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed 
the  most  recent  judicial  challenge  to  the  ACA 
brought  by  several  states  without  specifically  ruling 
on  the  constitutionality  of  the  ACA.  Prior  to  the 
Supreme  Court’s  decision,  the  current  Presidential 

administration  issued  an  executive  order  initiating  a 
special  enrollment  period  during  2021  for  purposes 
of  obtaining  health  insurance  coverage  through  the 
ACA  marketplace.  The  executive  order  also

Additionally,  there  has  been  recent  heightened 
federal  governmental  scrutiny  over  the  manner  in 
which  manufacturers  set  prices  for  their  marketed 
products. For example, there have been several recent 
Congressional  inquiries  and  has  been  proposed  and

Further, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the 
“IRA”),  was  signed  into  law  on  August  16,  2022. 
While  the  IRA  is  still  subject  to  rulemaking  (with 
more  information  to  come  via  guidance  documents 
from  the  responsible  federal  agencies),  the  IRA,  as 
written,  will,  among  other  changes,  give  the  U.S. 
Department  of  Health  and  Human  Services  (the 
“HHS”) the ability and authority to directly negotiate 
with  manufacturers  the  price  that  Medicare  will  pay 
for  certain  high-priced  drugs.  The  IRA  will  also 
require  manufacturers  of  certain  Part  B  and  Part  D 
drugs  to  issue  to  HHS  rebates  based  on  certain 
calculations  and  triggers  (i.e.,  when  drug  prices 
increase  and  outpace  the  rate  of  inflation).  At  this 
time,  we  cannot  predict  the  implications  the  IRA 
provisions will have on our business. These types of 
laws may have a significant  impact on our ability to 
set  a  product  price  we  believe  is  fair  and  may 
adversely  affect  our  ability  to  generate  revenue  and 
achieve or maintain profitability. 

Additionally,  in  October  2020,  HHS  and  the 
FDA published a final rule allowing states and other 
entities 
to  develop  a  Section  804  Importation 
Program (“SIP”), to import certain prescription drugs 
from Canada into the United States. The final rule is 
currently  the  subject  of  ongoing  litigation.  At  least

six  states  (Vermont,  Colorado,  Florida,  Maine,  New 
Mexico,  and  New  Hampshire)  have  passed  laws 
allowing  for  the  importation  of  drugs  from  Canada, 
and at least three states (Colorado, Florida, and New 
Mexico) have submitted SIPs to FDA for review and 
approval.

of states, for example, require drug manufacturers and 
other entities in the drug supply chain, including health 
carriers,  pharmacy  benefit  managers,  and  wholesale 
distributors,  to  disclose  information  about  pricing  of 
pharmaceuticals.  In  addition,  regional  health  care 
authorities  and  individual  hospitals  are  increasingly 
using  bidding  procedures 
to  determine  what 
pharmaceutical  products  and  which  suppliers  will  be 
included  in  their  prescription  drug  and  other  health 
care  programs.  These  measures  could  reduce  the 
ultimate  demand  for  our  products,  once  approved,  or 
put  pressure  on  our  product  pricing.  We  expect  that

the  various  fraud  and  abuse  and  antitrust  laws  may

Because  of  the  breadth  of  these  laws  and  the 
narrowness  of  the  statutory  exceptions  and  safe

Statute,  it  is  possible  that  some  of  our  business 
activities could be subject to challenges under one or 
more  of  such  laws.  Moreover,  recent  health  care 
reform  legislation  has  strengthened  these  laws.  For 
example,  the  ACA,  among  other  things,  amends  the 
intent  requirement  of  the  federal  Anti-Kickback 
Statute and criminal health care fraud statutes, so that 
a  person  or  entity  no  longer  needs  to  have  actual 
knowledge  of  the  statute  or  specific  intent  to  violate 
it. In addition, the ACA provides that the government 
may  assert  that  a  claim  including  items  or  services 
resulting  from  a  violation  of  the  federal  Anti-
Kickback  Statute  constitutes  a  false  or  fraudulent 
claim for purposes of the False Claims Act.

If our operations are found to be in violation of 
any  of  the  laws  described  above  or  otherwise,  we 
may  be  subject  to  penalties,  including  civil  and 
individual 
criminal  penalties,  damages, 
imprisonment,  integrity  obligations,  exclusion  from

guarantee  that  this  program  will  protect  us  from 
governmental  investigations  or  other  actions  or 
lawsuits  stemming  from  a  failure  to  comply  with 
such  laws  or  regulations.  If  any  such  actions  are 
instituted  against  us  and  we  are  not  successful  in 
defending  ourselves  or  asserting  our  rights,  those 
actions  could  have  a  significant  impact  on  our

or other sanctions. 

Efforts to ensure that our business arrangements

definition of average manufacturer price (AMP), and 
the  Medicaid  rebate  amount  under  the  ACA,  the 
issuance of final regulations implementing those and 
other  changes  has  affected  and  could  further  affect 
our  340B  “ceiling  price”  calculations.  Because  we 
participate  in  the  Medicaid  rebate  program,  we  are 
to  report  average  sales  price  (ASP), 
required 
information  to  CMS  for  certain  categories  of  drugs 
that  are  paid  for  under  Part  B  of  the  Medicare 
program.  Future  statutory  or  regulatory  changes  or 
the  ASP 
CMS  binding  guidance  could  affect 
calculations  for  our  products  and  the  resulting 
Medicare  payment  rate  and  could  negatively  impact 
our results of operations. 

Pricing  and  rebate  calculations  vary  among 
products and programs, involve complex calculations 
and  are  often  subject 
interpretation  by  us, 
to 
governmental  or  regulatory  agencies  and  the  courts. 
The  Medicaid  rebate  amount  is  computed  each 

45 

quarter  based  on  our  submission  to  CMS  of  our 
current  AMP  and  “best  price”  for  the  quarter.  If  we 
become  aware  that  our  reporting  for  a  prior  quarter 
was  incorrect,  or  has  changed  as  a  result  of 
recalculation  of the pricing data, we are obligated to 
resubmit the corrected data for a period not to exceed 
twelve  quarters  from  the  quarter  in  which  the  data 
originally  were  due.  Any  such  revisions  could  have 
the  impact  of  increasing  or  decreasing  our  rebate 
liability for prior quarters, depending on the direction 
of the revision. Such restatements  and recalculations 
would increase our costs for complying with the laws 
the  Medicaid  rebate 
and  regulations  governing 
program.  Price  recalculations  also  may  affect  the 
“ceiling price” at which we are required to offer our 
products 
to  certain  covered  entities,  such  as 
safety-net  providers,  under  the  340B/Public  Health 
Service (“PHS”) drug pricing program. 

information 

In  addition,  if  we  are  found  to  have  made  a 
misrepresentation  in  the  reporting  of  ASP,  we  are 
subject to civil monetary penalties for each such price 
misrepresentation  and  for  each  day  in  which  such 
price misrepresentation  was applied. If we are found 
to  have  knowingly  submitted  false  AMP  or  “best 
price”  information  to  the  government,  we  may  be 
liable  for  civil  monetary  penalties  per  item  of  false 
information. Any refusal of a request for information 
in 
or  knowing  provision  of  false 
connection  with  an  AMP  survey  verification  would 
also  subject  us  to  civil  monetary  penalties.  In 
addition,  our  failure  to  submit  monthly/quarterly 
AMP  or  “best  price”  information  on  a  timely  basis 
could  result  in  a  civil  monetary  penalty  per  day  for 
each day the information is late beyond the due date. 
Such  failure  could  also  be  grounds  for  CMS  to 
terminate our Medicaid drug rebate agreement, under 
which we participate in the Medicaid program. In the 
event  that  CMS terminates  our rebate  agreement,  no 
federal payments would be available under Medicaid 
or Medicare Part B for our covered outpatient drugs. 
Governmental  agencies  may  also  make  changes  in 
program  interpretations,  requirements  or  conditions 
of  participation, 
some  of  which  may  have 
implications  for  amounts  previously  estimated  or 
paid. We cannot ensure that our submissions will not 
be found by CMS to be incomplete or incorrect. 

In  order  for  our  products  to  be  reimbursed  by 
the primary federal governmental programs, we must 
report  certain  pricing  data  to  the  USG.  Compliance 

46 

with  reporting  and  other  requirements  of  these 
federal  programs  is  a  pre-condition  to:  (i)  the 
availability  of  federal  funds  to  pay  for  our  products 
under  Medicaid  and  Medicare  Part  B;  and 
(ii)  procurement  of  our  products  by  the  Department 
of Veterans Affairs (“DVA”), and by covered entities 
under  the  340B/PHS  program.  The  pricing  data 
reported are used as the basis for establishing Federal 
Supply  Schedule  (“FSS”),  and  340B/PHS  program 
contract  pricing  and  payment  and  rebate  rates  under 
the  Medicare  Part  B  and  Medicaid  programs, 
respectively.  Pharmaceutical  companies  have  been 
prosecuted  under  federal  and  state  false  claims  laws 
for  submitting  inaccurate  and/or  incomplete  pricing 
information  to  the  government  that  resulted  in 
increased  payments  made  by 
these  programs. 
Although we maintain and follow strict procedures to 
ensure  the  maximum  possible  integrity  for  our 
federal  pricing  calculations,  the  process  for  making 
the  required  calculations  is  complex,  involves  some 
subjective  judgments  and  the  risk  of  errors  always 
exists, which creates the potential for exposure under 
the  false  claims  laws.  If  we  become  subject  to 
investigations  or  other  inquiries  concerning  our 
compliance with price reporting laws and regulations, 
and  our  methodologies  for  calculating  federal  prices 
are found to include flaws or to have been incorrectly 
applied, we could be required to pay or be subject to 
additional  reimbursements,  penalties,  sanctions  or 
fines, which could have a material  adverse effect  on 
our  business,  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations.

the  “Big  Four” 

To be eligible to have our products paid for with 
federal  funds  under  the  Medicaid  and  Medicare  Part 
B  programs  and  purchased  by  certain  federal 
agencies and grantees, we also must participate in the 
DVA  FSS  pricing  program.  To  participate,  we  are 
required to enter into an FSS contract with the DVA, 
under  which  we  must  make  our  innovator  “covered 
drugs”  available 
federal 
agencies-the  DVA, the DoD, the PHS (including the 
Indian  Health  Service),  and  the  Coast  Guard-at 
pricing that is capped under a statutory federal ceiling 
price (“FCP”) formula set forth in Section 603 of the 
Veterans  Health  Care  Act  of  1992  (“VHCA”).  The 
FCP is based on a weighted average wholesale price 
known  as  the  Non-Federal  Average  Manufacturer 
Price  (“Non-FAMP”),  which  manufacturers  are 
required  to report  on a quarterly  and annual basis to 
the  DVA.  Under  the  VHCA,  knowingly  providing 
false  information  in  connection  with  a  Non-FAMP 
filing can subject us to significant  penalties  for each 

item  of  false  information.  If  we  overcharge  the 
government  in  connection  with  our  FSS  contract  or 
Section  703  Agreement,  whether  due  to  a  misstated 
FCP  or  otherwise,  we  are  required  to  disclose  the 
error  and  refund  the  difference  to  the  government. 
The  failure  to  make  necessary  disclosures  and/or  to 
identify contract overcharges can result in allegations 
against us under the False Claims Act and other laws 
regulations.  Unexpected

and 
government,  and 
to  a  government 
responding 
investigation or enforcement action, can be expensive 
and  time-consuming,  and  could  have  a  material 
adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial  condition, 
results of operations and growth prospects.

From time to time, we sell unapproved MCMs to 
government  entities  under  certain  circumstances. 
While this is permissible in some cases, the extent to 
which we may be able to lawfully offer to sell and sell 
unapproved  products  in  many  jurisdictions  may  be 
unclear or ambiguous. Such sales could subject us to 
regulatory  enforcement  action,  product  liability  and 
reputational risk. 

Under certain and narrow circumstances, MCMs 
may  be  procured  by  government  entities  prior  to 
approval by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, 
a practice which we follow in connection with certain 
MCMs, including AV7909 and TROBIGARD in the 
United  States.  In  the  United  States,  the  Secretary  of 
HHS has the authority to contract to purchase MCMs 
for  the  SNS  prior  to  FDA  approval  of  the  relevant 
MCM  in  specified  circumstances.  FDA  also  has  the 
authority  to  permit  the  emergency  use  of  medical 
products that have not yet been approved by the FDA 
under an EUA. An EUA terminates when the EUA is 
revoked or the emergency declaration underlying the 
EUA  terminates.  An  EUA  is  not  a  long-term 
alternative  to  obtaining  FDA  approval,  licensure, 
clearance,  or  other  marketing  authorization  for  a 
product.  An  EUA  has  not  been  granted  for 
TROBIGARD  or  AV7909.  Absent  an  applicable 
exception,  our  MCM  product  candidates  generally 
will have to be approved, licensed, or cleared by the 
FDA  or  other  regulatory  authorities  in  the  relevant 
country  through  traditional  pathways  before  we  can 
sell those products to governments. Additionally, the 
laws  in  certain  jurisdictions  regarding  the  ability  of 
government  entities  to  purchase  unapproved  product 
candidates  can  be  ambiguous,  and  the  permissibility 
of  exporting  unapproved  products  from  the  United 
States  and  importing  them  to  foreign  countries  may 

in 

some 

be  unclear 
instances.  Nevertheless, 
government bodies, such as U.S. federal entities other 
than  HHS,  state  and  local  governments  within  the 
United  States,  and  foreign  governments  have  sought 
and  may  further  seek  to  procure  our  MCM  product 
candidates that are not yet approved. In this situation, 
we  would  expect  to  assess  the  permissibility  and 
liability 
implications  of  supplying  our  product 
candidates  to  such  entities  on  a  case-by-case  basis, 
which presents certain challenges, both in the case of 
U.S. and foreign governments, and particularly under 
emergency  conditions.  In  addition,  agencies  or 
branches  of  one  country’s  government  may  take 
different  positions  regarding  the  permissibility  of 
such sales than another country’s government or even 
other  agencies  or  branches  of  the  same  government. 
If  local  enforcement  authorities  disagree  with  our 
conclusion  that  such  activities  are  permissible,  they 
may take enforcement action against us. 

to  obtain 

In addition, the sale of unapproved products also 
could  give  rise  to  product  liability  claims  for  which 
we  may  not  be 
adequate 
able 
indemnification  or insurance coverage. For example, 
despite  liability  protections  applicable  to  claims 
arising  under U.S. law and resulting from the use of 
certain unlicensed or unauthorized MCMs, such as a 
declaration issued under the PREP Act, plaintiffs still 
may  bring  lawsuits,  among  other  things,  that  their 
claims are not barred under the PREP Act.

In  the  event  that  a  user  of  one  or  more  of  our 
products  experiences  an  adverse  event,  we  may  be 
subject  to  additional  reputational  risk  if  the  product 
has  not  been  approved  by 
the 
corresponding 
regulatory  authority  of  another 
country,  particularly  because  we  will  not  have 
approved labeling regarding the safety or efficacy of 
those  products.  In  addition,  legislatures  and  other

business prospects.

Health  Canada  may  conduct  similar  inspections  of

offered  and  sold  in  Canada  are  produced,  or  related 
formulation and filling operations are conducted. The 
FDA,  Health  Canada,  and  other  foreign  regulatory 
inspections  of  our 
agencies  conduct  periodic

facilities.  Following  several  of  these  inspections, 
regulatory  authorities  have 
inspectional 
observations, some of which were significant, but all 
of which are being, or have been, addressed through 
corrective  actions.  If,  in  connection  with  any  future 
inspection, regulatory authorities find that we are not 
in  substantial  compliance  with  all  applicable 
requirements,  or  if  they  are  not  satisfied  with  the 
corrective  actions  we  take,  our  regulators  may 
undertake enforcement  action against us, which may

Similar  action  may  be  taken  against  us  should 
we  fail  to  comply  with  regulatory  requirements,  or 
later discover previously unknown problems with our 
products  or  manufacturing  processes.  For  instance, 
our products are tested regularly to determine if they 
satisfy  potency  and  stability  requirements  for  their 
required shelf lives. Failure to meet potency, stability 
or  other  specification  requirements  could  result  in 
delays in distributions, recalls or other consequences. 
In November 2022, a specific batch of our RSDL kits 
was  recalled  due  to  leakage,  which  could  cause  the 
product not to perform as effectively as intended. 

Even  if  regulatory  approval,  clearance,  or  other 
marketing  authorization  of  a  product  is  granted,  the 
approval,  clearance,  or  marketing  authorization  may 
be  subject  to  limitations  on  the  indicated  uses  for 
which the product may be marketed or sold or to the 
conditions of approval. Regulatory approval or other 
authorization  may  also  contain  requirements  for 
costly  post-marketing  testing  and  surveillance  to

Additionally,  companies  may  not  promote 
unapproved products or unapproved uses of approved 
products  (i.e.  “off-label”  uses  or  uses  that  are  not 
described  in  the  product’s  approved  labeling  and/or 
that  differ  from  the  uses  approved  or  cleared  by  the 
applicable  regulatory  agencies).  A  company  that  is

Failure 

to  obtain  or  maintain  regulatory 
approval in international  jurisdictions  could prevent 
us  from  marketing  our  products  abroad  and  could 
limit the growth of our business. 

We currently sell certain of our products outside 
the United States and intend to expand the countries 
in  which  we  sell  our  products  and  have  received 
market  authorization  under  the  mutual  recognition 
procedure  to  sell  BioThrax  in  France,  Italy,  the 
Netherlands,  Poland,  and  the  United  Kingdom.  To 
market  or  sell  our  products  in  foreign  jurisdictions 
under  normal  circumstances,  we  generally  need  to 
obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with 
numerous and varying requirements or use alternative 
“emergency  use”  or  other  exemptions  from  general 
approval  and  import  requirements.  Approval  by  the 
FDA  in  the  United  States  or  the  mutual  recognition 
procedure  in  the  European  member  states  does  not 
ensure approval by all foreign regulatory authorities. 
The  approval  procedures  in  foreign  jurisdictions  can 
vary widely and can involve additional clinical trials 
and data review beyond that required by the FDA or 
under the mutual recognition procedure. There is also 

49 

a  risk  that  a  regulatory  authority  in  another  country 
could  conclude  that  we  have  violated  the  rules  and 
regulations related to product development, approval 
or  promotion  in  that  country.  Therefore,  there  is  a 
risk that we could be subject to a foreign enforcement 
action  if  found  to  be  in  violation  of  such  laws  and 
regulations.  We  and  our  collaborators  may  not  be 
able  to  obtain  foreign  regulatory  approvals  on  a

contract  research  organizations  and  consultants  to 
assist us in this process. Our reliance on third parties

certain countries through, for example, bans, sanction 
programs,  and  boycotts.  Such  restrictions  may 
preclude  us  from  supplying  products  in  certain 

50 

countries,  which  could  limit  our  growth  potential. 
Furthermore,  if  we,  or  third  parties  acting  on  our 
behalf, do not comply with these restrictions, we may 
be subject to civil and criminal penalties. 

Various  laws,  regulations  and  executive  orders 
also restrict the use and dissemination outside of the 
United  States,  or  the  sharing  with  certain  non-U.S. 
nationals,  of  information  classified  for  national 
security  purposes,  as  well  as  certain  products  and 
technical  data  relating  to  those  products.  If  we 
continue  to  expand  our  presence  outside  of  the 
United States, it will require us to dedicate additional 
resources  to comply with these laws, and these laws 
may preclude us from developing, manufacturing, or 
selling  certain  products  and  product  candidates 
outside  of  the  United  States,  which  could  limit  our 
growth potential and increase our development costs. 

The  failure  to  comply  with  laws  governing 
in 
international  business  practices  may 
substantial civil and criminal penalties, suspension or 
debarment  from  government  contracting,  and  other 
sanctions, and can cause reputational harm. The SEC 
also  may  bring  enforcement  actions  against  issuers 
for violations of the FCPA’s accounting provisions.

Teva’s ANDA filing, a trial Court decided in favor of 
Teva, and this decision was subsequently affirmed by 
the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. 

The FDA approved Teva’s ANDA on April 19, 
2019. On December  22, 2021, Teva commenced  the 
launch of its generic naloxone nasal spray. As part of 
recent  state  settlements,  including  in  Florida,  Texas, 
Rhode Island, and West Virginia, Teva has agreed to 
supply  Medication-  Assisted  Treatment  (MAT)  and

Sales of generic versions of NARCAN at prices 
lower  than  our  branded  product  or  provided  at  no 
cost by Teva have the potential to erode our sales and 
could 
to 
NARCAN.  For  example,  certain  U.S.  state  laws 
allow  for,  and  in  some  instances  in  the  absence  of 
specific  instructions  from  the  prescribing  physician, 
mandate  the  dispensing  of  generic  products  rather 
than  branded  products  where  a  generic  version  is 
available.  In  addition,  in  January  2019,  the  FDA 
released new proposed template Drug Facts Labels to 
assist  sponsors  of  investigational  naloxone  nasal 
sprays  and  auto-injectors  seeking  approval  from  the 
FDA  for  over-the-counter  naloxone  products.  In 
November 2022, the FDA announced its preliminary 
assessment  that  naloxone  nasal  spray  products  up  to 
4mg  and  naloxone  auto-injector  products 
for 
intramuscular  or  subcutaneous  use  up  to  2mg  have 
the  potential  to  be  approvable  as  safe  and  effective 
for nonprescription use.

In  addition,  Harm  Reduction  Therapeutics  has 
announced  filing  of  an  NDA  application  for  a  3mg 
naloxone  nasal  spray  formulation  intended  for  OTC

additional  generic  and  branded  competition  in  the 
future. 

Political  or  social  factors  may  delay  or  impair 
our  ability  to  market  and  sell  our  products  and may 
require us to spend significant management time and 
financial resources to address these issues. 

Products  developed  to  counter  the  potential 
impact of PHTs are subject to changing political and 
social  environments.  The  political  responses  and 
social  awareness  of  the  risks  of  these  threats  on 
military  personnel  or  civilians  and  the  level  of 
emphasis placed on such risks by the USG may vary 
over  time.  If  the  threat  of  terrorism  were  to  decline, 
then the public perception of the risk on public health 
and  safety  may  be  reduced.  This  perception,  as  well 
as  political  or  social  pressures  (including  as  a  result 
of negative  publicity  we have received based on our 
longstanding  ties  to  the  USG),  could  delay  or  cause 
resistance to bringing our products in development to 
market or limit pricing or purchases of our products, 
any  of  which  could  negatively  affect  our  revenues 
and  our  business,  financial  condition,  operating 
results and cash flows. 

In  addition,  substantial  delays  or  cancellations 
of purchases could result from protests or challenges 
from  third  parties.  Lawsuits  brought  against  us  by 
third parties or activists, even if not successful, could 
require us to spend significant management time and 
financial  resources  defending  the  related  litigation 
and could potentially damage the public’s perception 
of  us  and  our  products.  Any  publicity  campaigns  or 
other  negative  publicity  may  adversely  affect  the 
degree  of  market  acceptance  of  our  MCMs  and 
thereby  limit  the  demand  for  our  products,  which 
would  adversely  affect  our  business,  financial 
condition, operating results and cash flows. 

Under  the  Orphan  Drug  Act,  the  FDA  may 
designate  a product as an orphan drug if it is a drug 
or  biologic  intended  to  treat  a  rare  disease  or 
condition.  Generally,  if  a  product  candidate  with  an 
orphan  drug  designation  subsequently  receives  the 
first  marketing  approval for the indication  for which 
it  has  such  designation,  the  product  is  entitled  to  a 
period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the 
FDA  from  approving  another  marketing  application 
for  the  same  drug  for  the  same  rare  disease  or 
condition for that time period. The applicable period 
is seven years in the United States. 

In  order  for  the  FDA  to  grant  orphan  drug 
designation  to  one  of  our  products,  the  agency  must 
find,  among  other  requirements,  that  the  product  is 
being or will be investigated for a condition or disease 
with  a  patient  population  of  fewer  than  200,000 
individuals  in  the  United  States,  or,  for  a  vaccine, 
diagnostic  drug,  or  preventive  drug,  it  will  be 
administered to fewer than 200,000 persons per year in 
the  United  States.  Alternatively,  FDA  may  determine 
that there is no reasonable expectation that the costs of 
research  and  development  of 
the  drug  can  be 
recovered from sales of the drug in the United States. 
The  FDA  may  conclude  that  the  condition  or  disease 
for  which  we  seek  orphan  drug  designation  does  not 
meet  this  standard.  Even  if  we  obtain  orphan  drug 
exclusivity  for  a  product,  that  exclusivity  may  not 
effectively  protect  the  product  from  competition 
because  different  products  can  be  approved  for  the 
same  condition.  In  addition,  even  after  a  product 
receives  orphan  drug  exclusivity,  the  FDA  can 
subsequently  approve  the  same  product  for  the  same 
condition if the FDA or such authorities conclude that 
the  later  product  is  clinically  superior  in  that  it  is 
shown  to  be  safer,  more  effective  or  makes  a  major 
contribution to patient care; if the FDA determines that 
the  holder  of  orphan  drug  exclusivity  cannot  ensure 
the availability of sufficient quantities of the product to 
meet  the  needs  of  patients  with  the  rare  disease  or 
condition;  or  if  the  holder  of  orphan  drug  exclusivity 
consents  to  the  approval  of  such  subsequent  product. 
Additionally,  the  FDA  may  revoke  orphan  drug 
designation if the FDA determines that the request for 
designation contained an untrue statement of material 

52 

information,  or 

fact,  omitted  material 
the  FDA 
subsequently  finds  that  the  drug  in  fact  had  not  been 
eligible  for  orphan  drug  designation  at  the  time  of 
submission of the request for designation.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RISKS 

Protection  of  our  intellectual  property  rights  is 
an important tool for sustaining our business and the 
failure to do so could impact our financial condition, 
operating results, and cash flows. 

We actively seek to protect intellectual property 
rights  related  to  our  Company’s  assets,  including 
patent  rights,  trademark  rights,  trade  secrets  and 
proprietary confidential information, through defense 
and  enforcement  of  existing  rights  and  pursuit  of 
protection on new and arising innovations.

our Company.

development  and  commercialization  of  our  products 
and  product  candidates.  Such  challenges,  while 
ongoing,  could  be  costly,  requiring  and  utilizing 
company  resources.  Such  challenges,  if  successful, 
may  impact  marketing  or  launch  of  products,  or 
require ongoing license and/or royalty fees associated 
with  potential  settlement  agreements.  These  may 
have  the  potential  to  materially  harm  our  business, 
financial condition, operating results, and cash flows. 

Obtaining,  maintaining  and  defending  our

We  are  a  party 

to  a  number  of 

license 
agreements and expect to enter into additional license 
agreements in the future. Such license agreements or 
collaboration  arrangements  can  be  subject 
to 
challenges  if  interests  or  expectations  under  such 
license  agreements  diverge.  Such challenges  may be 
costly,  risk  time  and  resources,  and  could  delay  or 
impact development, commercialization  or launch of 
our products. 

Potential  loss  of  proprietary  information  and 
know-how  generally  carries  the  risk  of  reducing  the 
value of our technology and products. 

We  also  rely  upon  unpatented  proprietary 
technology, processes, and know-how, particularly as 
to  our  proprietary  manufacturing  processes.  These 
types  of  confidential  information  and  trade  secrets 
can  be  difficult  to  protect.  We  seek  to  protect  this 
confidential information, in part, through agreements 
with our employees, consultants, and third parties, as 
well  as  confidentiality  policies  and  audits,  although 
these may not always be successful in protecting our 
trade secrets and confidential information.

One  or  more  of  our  products  is  approved  as  a 
drug product under the provisions of the FDCA, which 
may render it susceptible to potential competition from 
generic manufacturers via the Hatch-Waxman Act and 
ANDA  process.  Other  of  our  products  may  be 
susceptible  to  challenges  by  entry  of  biosimilars 
through the route established under the Biologics Price 
Competition and Innovation Action of 2009. 

Although  we  intend  to  vigorously  enforce  our 
intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance 
that we will prevail in our enforcement or defense of 
our  patent  rights.  Our  existing  patents  could  be 
invalidated,  found  unenforceable,  or  found  not  to 
cover a generic form of our product. 

RISKS  RELATED  TO  RELIANCE  ON  OTHER 
PARTIES 

The loss of any of our non-exclusive, sole-source 
or  single  source  suppliers,  a  shortage  of  related 
supplies  or  an  increase  in  the  price  of  inventory 
supplied  to  us  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our 
business, 
results  of 
financial  condition  and 
operations. 

We  purchase  certain  supplies  used  in  our 
manufacturing  processes  from  non-exclusive,  or 
single sources due to quality considerations, costs or 
constraints  resulting  from  regulatory  requirements. 
We depend on certain single-source suppliers for key 
materials  and  services  necessary  to  manufacture  the 
majority  of  our  products  and  certain  product 
candidates.  For  example,  we  rely  on  a  single-source 
supplier  to  provide  us  with  Alhydrogel  in  sufficient 
quantities to meet our needs to manufacture AV7909 
and  BioThrax  vaccines  and  the  specialty  plasma  in 
our  hyperimmune  specialty  plasma  products  and 
certain  ingredients  for  the  ACAM2000  vaccine.  We 
also rely on single-source suppliers for the materials

naloxone  active  pharmaceutical  ingredient  and  other 
excipients, along with the vial, stopper and device.

largely  due  to  the  FDA  approval  system,  which 
mandates  validation  of  materials  prior  to  use  in  our 
products  and  product  candidates,  and  the  complex 
nature  of  manufacturing  processes.  In  addition,  we 
may lose a sole-source  supplier  due to, among other 
things,  the  acquisition  of  a  supplier  by  a  competitor 
(which  may  cause  the  supplier  to  stop  selling  its 
products to us) or the bankruptcy of such a supplier, 
which  may  cause  the  supplier  to  cease  operations. 
Any  reduction  or  interruption  by  a  sole-source 
supplier of the supply of materials or key components 
used in the manufacturing of our products or product 
candidates, a reduction in quality or an increase in the 
price  of 
those  materials  or  components  could 
adversely  affect  us.  If  we  are  unable  to  locate  or 
establish  alternative 
to 
manufacture  our  products  and  product  candidates 
could  be  adversely  affected  and  could  harm  our 
revenues,  cause  us  to  fail  to  satisfy  contractual 
commitments, lead to a termination of one or more of 
our  contracts  or  lead  to  delays  in  our  clinical  trials, 
any  of  which  could  be  costly  to  us  and  otherwise 
materially  harm  our  business,  financial  condition, 
operating results and cash flows. 

suppliers,  our  ability 

We  depend  on  third  parties  to  conduct  many  of 
our  clinical  and  non-clinical  trials.  If  these  third 
parties  do  not  perform  as  contractually  required  or 
as  we  expect,  we  may  not  be  able  to  obtain 
regulatory  approval 
for  or  commercialize  our 
product  candidates  and,  as  a  result,  our  business, 
financial condition, operating results and cash flows 
may suffer. 

We depend on third parties, such as independent 
clinical investigators, contract research organizations 
and other third-party service providers to conduct the 
trials  of  our  product 
clinical  and  non-clinical 
candidates  and  expect  to  continue  to  do  so.  We  rely 
heavily on these third parties for successful execution 
of  our  clinical  and  non-clinical  trials,  but  do  not 
exercise  day-to-day  control  over their  activities.  Our 
reliance on these service providers does not relieve us 
of  our  regulatory  responsibilities,  including  ensuring 
that our trials are conducted in accordance with good 
the  plan  and 
clinical  practice  regulations  and 
protocols  contained

application.  In addition,  these  organizations  may not 
complete these activities on our anticipated or desired

the  timeliness  or  quality  of  the  work  of  a  contract 
research organization or other third party may lead us 
to  seek  to  terminate  the  relationship  and  use  an 
alternative  service  provider,  which  may  prove 
difficult, costly and result in a delay of our trials. Any 
delay in or inability to complete our trials could delay 
or  prevent 
and 
commercialization of our product candidates. 

the  development, 

approval 

In certain cases, government entities and NGOs 
conduct  studies  of  our  product  candidates,  and  we 
may  seek  to  rely  on  these  studies  in  applying  for 
marketing  approval  for  certain  of  our  product 
candidates.  These  government  entities  and  NGOs 
have no obligation or commitment to us to conduct or 
complete  any  of  these  studies  or  clinical  trials  and 
may choose to discontinue these development efforts 
at any time. Furthermore, government entities depend 
on annual Congressional appropriations to fund their 
development efforts, which may not be approved. 

If  we  are  unable  to  obtain  any  necessary  third-
party services on acceptable terms or if these service 
providers  do  not  successfully  carry  out 
their 
contractual  duties  or  meet  expected  deadlines,  our 
efforts to obtain regulatory approvals for our product 
candidates may be delayed or prevented. 

LEGAL AND REPUTATIONAL RISKS 

Our  financial  condition  and  operating  results 
could  be  adversely  impacted  by  unfavorable  results 
of legal proceedings or government investigations. 

in 

We  are  subject 

to  various  claims, 

legal 
proceedings and government investigations that have 
not  yet  been  fully  resolved,  including  stockholder 
derivative and putative class action lawsuits, and new 
matters  may  arise 
the  future.  In  addition, 
agreements  entered  into  by  us  sometimes  include 
indemnification  provisions  which  can  subject  us  to 
costs and damages in the event of a claim against an 
indemnified third party. The number of claims, legal 
proceedings and government investigations involving 
us,  and  the  alleged  magnitude  of  such  claims, 
proceedings  and  government 
investigations,  has 
generally  increased  over  time  and  may  continue  to 
increase. Certain of these actions include, and future 
actual or threatened legal actions may include, claims 
for  substantial  and 
indeterminate  amounts  of 
damages, or may result in other actions adverse to us. 

For  example,  multiple  purported  class  action 
lawsuits have been filed against us and certain of our 
current  and  former  senior  officers  in  the  United 
States  District  Court  for  the  District  of  Maryland 
seeking unspecified  damages on behalf of a putative 
class of persons who purchased or otherwise acquired 
shares  of  our  common  stock  during  various  date 
ranges.  The  complaints,  allege,  among  other  things, 
that  we  made  materially  false  and  misleading 
statements  regarding  our  procedures  and  quality 
controls  relating  to  vaccine  production,  in  violation 
of  federal  securities  laws.  As  another  example, 
multiple stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed in 
The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and 
the  United  States  District  Court  for  the  District  of 
Maryland  on  behalf  of  the  Company  against  certain 
current  and  former  officers  and  directors  for  breach 
of  fiduciary  duties,  waste  of  corporate  assets,  unjust 
enrichment  and 
trading,  each  allegation 
related to the Company’s capabilities to manufacture 
COVID-19  vaccine  bulk  drug  substance.  In  addition 
to  monetary  damages,  the  complaints  seek  the 
implementation of multiple corporate governance and 
internal policy changes. 

insider 

Regardless of merit, litigation can be both time-
consuming and disruptive to our operations and cause 
significant  expense  and  diversion  of  management’s 
attention.  The  outcome  of  litigation  or  government 
investigations  is  also  inherently  uncertain.  If  one  or 
more  legal  matters  were  resolved  against  us  or  an 
indemnified  third  party  in  a  reporting  period  for

to 

We  face  an  inherent  risk  of  product  liability 
exposure related to the sale of our products, any other 
products that we successfully acquire or develop and 
the testing of our product candidates in clinical trials. 

One measure of protection against such lawsuits 
is  coverage  under  the  PREP  Act,  which  was  signed 
into  law  in  December  2005.  The  PREP  Act  creates 
liability  protection  for  manufacturers  of  biodefense 
countermeasures when the Secretary of HHS issues a 
declaration  for  their  manufacture,  administration  or 
use.  A  PREP  Act  declaration  is  meant  to  provide 
liability  protection  from  all  claims  under  federal  or 
state law for loss arising out of the administration or 
use of a covered countermeasure under a government 
contract. The Secretary of HHS has issued PREP Act 
declarations  covering  countermeasures  for  smallpox, 
mpox,  and  other  orthopox;  anthrax;  and  botulinum 
toxin.  These  declarations  apply  to  certain  of  our 
ACAM2000, 
products, 
raxibacumab,  Anthrasil,  BAT  and  VIGIV  products, 
as  covered  countermeasures.  Manufacturers  are  not 
entitled to protection under the PREP Act in cases of 
willful  misconduct  or  for  cases  brought  in  non-U.S. 
tribunals  or  under  non-U.S.  law.  We  cannot  predict 
whether  the  Secretary  of  HHS  will  renew  the 
declarations when they expire, whether Congress will 
fund the relevant PREP Act compensation programs, 
or  whether  the  necessary  prerequisites  for  immunity 
would  be  triggered  with  respect  to  our  products  or 
product candidates. 

BioThrax, 

namely 

Additionally,  certain  of  our  products,  namely 
BioThrax  and  RSDL,  are  under  the  SAFETY  Act, 
which  provides  certain  product  liability  limitations 
for  qualifying  anti-terrorism  technologies  for  claims 
arising  from  or  related  to  an  act  of  terrorism. 
Although  BioThrax  and  RSDL  are  designated  and 
certified  under  the  SAFETY  Act,  the  law  may  not 
provide  adequate  protection  from  claims  made 
against us. 

If  we  cannot  successfully  defend  ourselves 
against  future  claims  that  our  products  or  product 
candidates  caused  injuries  and  if  we  are  not  entitled 
to indemnity by the USG, or the USG does not honor

its obligations to us under the PREP Act or SAFETY 
Act, or if the liability protections under the PREP Act 
and  SAFETY  Act  are  not  adequate  to  cover  all

an inability to commercialize  products that 
we may develop. 

The amount of insurance that we currently hold 
may  not  be  adequate  to  cover  all  liabilities  that  we 
may incur. Further product liability insurance may be 
difficult and expensive to obtain. We may not be able 
to  maintain  insurance  coverage  at  a  reasonable  cost 
and we may not be able to obtain insurance coverage 
that will be adequate to satisfy all potential liabilities. 
For  example,  we  may  not  have  sufficient  insurance 
against potential liabilities associated with a possible 
large-scale  deployment  of  BioThrax  vaccine  as  a 
countermeasure  to  a  bioterrorism  threat.  We  rely  on 
PREP  Act  protection  for  BioThrax,  raxibacumab, 
ACAM2000,  Anthrasil,  BAT  and  VIGIV  products, 
and SAFETY Act protection for BioThrax and RSDL 
products in addition to our insurance coverage to help 
mitigate  our  product  liability  exposure  for  these 
products.  Additionally,  potential  product  liability 
claims related to our commercial products, including 
NARCAN,  Vivotif  and  Vaxchora,  may  be  made  by 
patients,  health  care  providers  or  others  who  sell  or 
consume  these  products.  Such  claims  may  be  made 
even  with  respect  to  those  products  that  possess 
regulatory  approval  for  commercial  sale.  Claims  or 
losses  in  excess  of  our  product  liability  insurance 
coverage could have a material adverse effect on our 
business,  financial  condition,  operating  results  and 
cash flows. 

FINANCIAL RISKS 

We  have  incurred  significant  indebtedness  in 
connection  with  our  acquisitions  and  servicing  our 
debt  requires  a  significant  amount  of  cash.  We  may 
not  have  sufficient  cash  flow  from  our  operations  to 
pay our substantial debt. 

Our  ability  to  make  scheduled  payments  of  the 
principal of, to pay interest on or to further refinance 
our indebtedness depends on our future performance, 
which  is  subject  to  economic,  financial,  competitive 
and  other  factors  beyond  our  control.  We  may  also 
seek additional debt financing to support our ongoing 
activities or to provide additional financial flexibility.

companies,  products  or

requiring  us 
to  pledge  our  assets  as

industry conditions; and 

placing  us  at  a  competitive  disadvantage 
compared to our competitors that have less 
debt,  better  debt  servicing  options  or 
stronger debt servicing capacity. 

We  may  not  have  sufficient  funds  or  be  able  to 
obtain  additional  financing  to  pay  the  amounts  due 
under  our  indebtedness.  In  addition,  failure  to  comply 
with  the  covenants  under  our  Senior  Secured  Credit

Facilities  and  other  debt  agreements,  including  the 
maintenance  of  a  specified  consolidated  net  leverage 
ratio  and  debt  service  coverage  ratio  under  our  Senior 
Secured  Credit  Facilities,  could  result  in  an  event  of 
default  under  those  agreements.  An  event  of  default 
could result in the acceleration of amounts due under a 
particular  debt  agreement  and  a  cross  default  and 
acceleration under other debt agreements, and we may 
not  have  sufficient  funds  to  pay  or  be  able  to  obtain 
additional financing to make any accelerated payments. 
We were not in compliance with the net leverage ratio

without  additional  sources  of 
liquidity  or  future 
amendments  to  the  Credit  Agreement.  If  we  default

Our  current  indebtedness  restricts  and  any 
additional  debt  financing  may  restrict  the  operation 
of  our  business  and  limit  the  cash  available  for 
investment  in  our  business  operations.  If  we  are 
unable  to  refinance  our  Senior  Secured  Credit 
Facilities  prior  to  their  maturity  in  October  2023, 
our results of operations and financial condition may 
be adversely affected. 

The  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  include  a 
$450.0  million  Term  Loan  Facility  which  had  an 
outstanding principal balance of $362.8 million as of 
December  31,  2022  and  the  ability  to  borrow  up  to 
$600.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility of 
which  we  had  $598.0  million  of  outstanding 
borrowings  as  of  December  31,  2022.  On  August  7, 
2020,  we  completed  an  offering  of  $450.0  million 
aggregate  principal  amount  of  Senior  Unsecured 
Notes,  of  which  $353.0  million  of  the  net  proceeds 
were used to pay down our Revolving Credit Facility. 
We  may  also  seek  additional  debt  financing  to 
to  provide 
support  our  ongoing  activities  or 
additional  financial  flexibility.  Debt  financing  can 
have  significant  adverse  consequences  for  our 
business, including: 

•

the  level,  timing  and  cost  of  product  sales 
and CDMO services; 

Our  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  mature  in 
October  2023.  If  we  are  unable  to  refinance  our 
Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  prior 
their 
maturity,  we  will  be  required  to  immediately  repay 
the  entire  amount  outstanding  thereunder,  which 
could  adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations  and 
financial condition. 

to 

In addition,  our Senior Secured Credit Facilities  and 
our  Senior  Unsecured  Notes  each  contain  cross-
default  provisions  whereby  a  default  under  one 
agreement would likely result in cross defaults under 
indebtedness.  The 
agreements  covering  other 
occurrence  of  a  default  under  any  of 
these 
arrangements  would  permit  the  holders  of  the  notes 
or  the  lenders  under  our  Senior  Secured  Credit 
Facilities  to  declare  all  amounts  outstanding  under 
those borrowing arrangements to be immediately due 
and payable, and there is no assurance that we would 
have  sufficient  funds  to  satisfy  any  such  accelerated 
obligations. 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company was not 
in compliance with the debt service charge ratio and 
consolidated  net  leverage  ratio  covenants  under  the 
Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement 
Amendment  (as  defined  below)  the  requisite  lenders 
have  agreed  to  a  limited  waiver  of  any  defaults  or 
events of default that result from (a) any violation of 

58 

the  financial  covenants  set  forth  in  the  Senior 
Secured  Credit  Facilities  with  respect  to  the  fiscal 
quarter  ending  December  31,  2022  and  the  fiscal 
quarter  ending  March  31,  2023  and  (b)  the  going 
concern  qualification  or  exception  contained  in  the 
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending 
December  31,  2022.  This  limited  waiver  will  expire 
on  the  earlier  to  occur  of  (i)  any  other  event  of 
default and (ii) April 17, 2023. During this period the 
Company  is  working  with  lenders  under  the  Senior 
Secured Credit Facilities in connection with replacing 
such  facilities  before  their  October  2023  maturity 
with  revised  terms  and  conditions.  The  Company 
does  not  expect  to  be  in  compliance  with  debt 
covenants 
in  future  periods  without  additional 
sources  of  liquidity  or  future  amendments  to  the 
Credit Agreement. 

Our hedging program is subject to counterparty 

default risk. 

We  manage  our  interest  rate  risk  in  part  by 
entering  into  interest  rate  swaps  with  a  number  of 
counterparties  to swap a portion of our indebtedness 
that is based on variable interest rates to a fixed rate. 
As  a  result,  we  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  the 
counterparty  to  one  or  more  of  these  contracts 
defaults  on  its  performance  under  the  contract. 
During  an  economic  downturn,  the  counterparty’s 
financial  condition  may  deteriorate  rapidly  and  with 
little  notice  and  we  may  be  unable  to  take  action  to 
protect  our  exposure.  In  the  event  of  a  counterparty 
default,  we  could  incur  losses,  which  may  harm  our 
business and financial condition. In the event that one 
or  more  of  our  counterparties  becomes  insolvent  or 
files for bankruptcy, our ability to eventually recover 
any  losses  suffered  as  a  result  of  that  counterparty’s 
default  may  be  limited  by  the  liquidity  of  the 
counterparty. 

We  require  significant  additional  funding  to  be  able 
to continue as a going concern and we may be unable 
to raise capital when needed or on acceptable terms, 
which  would  harm  our  ability  to  grow our  business, 
and our results of operations and financial condition. 
In  addition,  any  capital  we  raise  may  result  in 
dilution to our current stockholders. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  had  unrestricted 
cash  and  cash  equivalents  of  $642.6  million  and 
remaining  capacity  under  our  Revolving  Credit 
Facility  of  $0.7  million.  Also  as  of  December  31, 

2022, there was $598.0 million outstanding under our 
Revolving  Credit  Facility  and  $362.8  million  under 
our Term Loan Facility that mature in October 2023, 
which  is  within  one  year  of  the  date  that  the 
Company’s  consolidated  financial  statements  are 
issued  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022.  As  a 
result, 
is 
substantial  doubt  about  the  Company’s  ability  to 
continue as a going concern within one year after the 
date that the financial statements are issued. We will 
need  to  obtain  substantial  additional  funding  in 
connection  with  our  continuing  operations,  which 
cannot be assured.

decrease in expected net earnings, (ii) adverse equity 
market  conditions,  (iii)  a  decline  in  current  market 
multiples,  (iv)  a  decline  in  our  common  stock  price, 
(v) a significant adverse change in legal factors or the 
general  business  climate,  and  (vi)  an  adverse  action

Although we have been profitable on an annual 
basis since becoming a public company, we have not 
been  profitable  for  every  quarter  during  that  time. 
Our profitability has been substantially dependent on 
product  sales,  which  historically  have  fluctuated 
significantly  from  quarter  to  quarter,  and  we  expect 
that they will continue to fluctuate significantly based 
primarily  on  the  timing  of  our  fulfillment  of  orders 
from  the  USG.  We  may  not  be  able  to  achieve 
consistent profitability on a quarterly basis or sustain

The  impairment  tests  require  us  to  make  an

impairment  could be recorded as a result of changes

which  are  beyond  our  control.  Since  a  number  of 
factors may influence determinations of fair value of 
goodwill,  we  are  unable

As we continue to expand our business activities 
with  foreign  governments  in  certain  countries  that 
in  credit  and 
have  experienced  deterioration

uncollectible  accounts  will  rise.  Global  economic 
conditions  and  liquidity  issues  in  certain  countries 
have resulted and may continue to result in delays in 
the  collection  of  accounts  receivable  and  may  result 
in  credit  losses.  Future  governmental  actions  and 
customer  specific  actions  may

that materially impact our operating results. 

require  us 

A substantial  portion of our indebtedness  bears 
interest  at  variable  interest  rates  based  on  LIBOR 
and  certain  of  our  financial  contracts  are  also 
indexed  to  LIBOR.  Changes  in  the  method  of 
determining  LIBOR,  or  the  replacement  of  LIBOR 
with  an  alternative  reference  rate,  may  adversely 
affect 
future 
interest  rates  on  our  current  or 
indebtedness and may otherwise adversely affect our 
financial condition and results of operations. 

In  July  2017,  the  Financial  Conduct  Authority, 
the  authority  that  regulates  the  London  Inter-bank 
Offered Rate (LIBOR) announced that it intended to 
stop  compelling  banks  to  submit  rates  for  the 
calculation of LIBOR after 2021. 

On  December  31,  2021, 

the  International 
Exchange  (ICE)  Benchmark  Association,  which 
administrates  LIBOR,  ceased  (i)  entering  into  new 
contracts  that  use  LIBOR  as  a  reference  rate  and 

(ii)  publication  of  two  LIBOR  rates  (one-week  and 
two-month)  and  has  announced  that  the  remaining 
LIBOR  rates  (overnight,  one-month,  three-month, 
six-month and 12-month) will be retired on June 30, 
2023. It is unclear if LIBOR will cease to exist at that 
time or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be 
established such that it continues to exist after 2023. 
We  have  certain  financial  contracts,  including  the 
Amended  Credit  Agreement  and  our  interest  rate 
swaps,  that  are  indexed  to  LIBOR.  Changes  in  the 
method of determining LIBOR, or the replacement of 
LIBOR  with  an  alternative  reference  rate,  may 
adversely affect interest rates on our current or future 
indebtedness.  Any  transition  process  may  involve, 
among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity 
in  markets  for  instruments  that  rely  on  LIBOR, 
reductions  in  the  value  of  certain  instruments  or  the 
effectiveness  of  related  transactions  such  as  hedges, 
increased  borrowing 
costs,  uncertainty  under 
applicable  documentation,  or  difficult  and  costly 
consent processes. The transition away from LIBOR 
may  result  in  increased  expenses,  may  impair  our 
ability  to  refinance  our  indebtedness  or  hedge  our 
exposure to floating rate instruments, or may result in 
difficulties,  complications  or  delays  in  connection 
with  future  financing  efforts,  any  of  which  could 
adversely affect our financial condition and results of 
operations. 

We  have  identified  a  material  weakness  in  our 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  and  our 
ability  to  provide  accurate  and  timely  financial 
reporting  could  be  affected  if  it  is  not  effectively 
remediated  or  if  additional  material  weaknesses  are 
identified. 

As  described 

in  Item  9A,  “Controls  and 
Procedures  –  Management’s  Report  on  Internal 
Control  Over  Financial  Reporting”  of  this  Annual 
Report  on  Form  10-K,  during 
the  process  of 
preparing  the  financial  statements  as  of  and  for  the 
year  ended  December  31,  2022,  our  management 
[and  auditor]  determined  that  our  internal  control 
over financial reporting included a material weakness 
as  of  December  31,  2022  related  to  our  inventory 
accounting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a 
combination  of  deficiencies,  in  internal  control  over 
financial  reporting,  such  that  there  is  a  reasonable 
possibility that a material misstatement of our annual 
or  interim  consolidated  financial  statements  will  not 
be  prevented  or  detected  on  a  timely  basis.  The 

61 

material weakness related to our internal control over 
financial  reporting  related  to  the  capitalization  of 
inventory.  Due  to  the  existence  of  this  material 
weakness,  our  management  concluded  that  as  of 
December  31,  2022  our 
internal  control  over 
financial reporting was not effective. 

We  are  taking  steps  to  remediate  this  material 
weakness, including documenting a formal policy on 
the  accounting  for  pre-paunch  materials  purchased 
for  use  in  R&D  activities,  providing  additional 
training  related  to  the  new  policy,  implementing  a 
monthly control to review pre-launch inventory with 
corporate  finance 
to  ensure  proper  accounting 
treatment.  However,  we  cannot  provide  any 
assurance  that  the  measures  we  have  taken  to  date 
and  we  intend  to  implement  will  be  sufficient  to 
remediate  the  material  weakness  we  have  identified 
or  to  avoid  additional  material  weaknesses  from 
occurring in the future. If we are unable to remediate 
the  material  weakness  or  any  additional  material 
weaknesses  or  other  deficiencies  in  our  internal 
control  over  financial  reporting  are  identified  in  the 
future,  or  we  otherwise 
the 
requirements  of  Section  404  of  the  Sarbanes-Oxley 
Act,  we  may  not  be  able  to  produce  accurate  and 
timely financial statements or certify that information 
required  to be disclosed  by us in the reports  that we 
recorded,  processed, 
is 
file  with 
summarized,  and  reported  within  the  time  periods 
specified in SEC rules and forms. Any failure of our 
internal control over financial reporting or disclosure 
controls and procedures could cause our investors to 
lose confidence in our publicly reported information, 
cause the market  price of our stock to decline, harm 
expose  us 
our 
sanctions  or 
investigations  by 
the  SEC  or  other  regulatory 
authorities, or otherwise adversely impact our results

Acquisition  efforts  can  consume  significant 
management  attention  and 
substantial 
expenditures,  which  could  detract  from  our  other 
programs.  In  addition,  we  may  devote  significant 
resources  to  potential  acquisitions  that  are  never 
completed.  Even  if  we  are  successful  in  acquiring  a 
company  or  product, 
in  a 
successfully  developed  or  commercialized  product 
or,  even  if  an  acquired  product  is  commercialized, 
competing  products  or  technologies  could  render  a 
product  noncompetitive,  uneconomical  or  obsolete. 
Moreover,  the  cost  of  acquiring  other  companies  or 
in-licensing  products  could  be  substantial,  and  in 
order to acquire companies or new products, we may 
need  to  incur  substantial  debt  or  issue  dilutive 
securities. 

If  we  are  unsuccessful  in  our  efforts  to  acquire 
other companies, products, or in-license and develop 
additional  products,  or  if  we  acquire  or  in-license 
unproductive assets, it could have a material adverse 
effect on the growth of our business, and we could be 
compelled  to  record  significant  impairment  charges 
to  write-down  the  carrying  value  of  our  acquired 
intangible  assets,  which  could  materially  harm  our 
business,  financial  condition,  operating  results  and 
cash flows. 

Our  failure  to  successfully  integrate  acquired 
businesses  and/or  assets  into  our  operations  could 
adversely  affect  our  ability  to  realize  the  benefits  of 
such  acquisitions  and, 
to  grow  our 
business. 

therefore, 

We  may  not  be  able  to  integrate  any  acquired 
business  successfully  or  operate  any  acquired

business  profitably.  In  addition,  cost  synergies,  if 
achieved  at  all,  may  be  less  than  we  expect,  or  may 
take greater time to achieve than we anticipate.

Our proposed sale of our travel health business 
to  Bavarian  Nordic  may  not  be  consummated  and  if 
the  transaction  is  consummated  we  may  not  realize 
the benefit of the proposed transaction. 

On  February  15,  2023,  we  entered  into  the  Sale 
Agreement  with  Bavarian  Nordic,  under  which  we 
agreed  to  sell  our  travel  health  business,  including 
rights  to  Vaxchora  and  Vivotif,  as  well  as  our 
development-stage  chikungunya  vaccine  candidate 
CHIKV  VLP,  our  manufacturing  site 
in  Bern, 
Switzerland  and  certain  of  our  development  facilities 
in  San  Diego,  California  for  a  cash  purchase  price  of 
$270.0  million, 
to  certain  customary 
adjustments.  In  addition,  we  may  receive  milestone 
payments  of  up  to  $80.0  million  related  to  the 
development of CHIKV VLP and receipt of marketing 
approval and authorization in the U.S. and Europe, and 
sales-based milestone payments of up to $30.0 million 
based on aggregate net sales of Vaxchora and Vivotif 
in  calendar  year  2026.  The  transaction  is  expected  to 
close in the second quarter of 2023, subject to certain 
customary closing conditions. 

subject 

There  can  be  no  assurance  that  we  will  be  able 
to  close  the  sale  of  our  travel  health  business  to 
Bavarian Nordic. If we are unable to consummate the 
transaction  or  do  not  realize  the  expected  strategic, 
economic,  or  other  benefits  of  the  transaction,  it 
could  adversely  affect  our  business  and  financial 
position. 

In addition, we have incurred, and will continue 
to  incur,  significant  expenses  in  connection  with  the 
proposed  sale  of  our  travel  health  business  to 
Bavarian  Nordic.  These  expenses  include  fees  and 
expenses 
attorneys, 
accountants and other advisers in connection with our 
efforts  and  will  be  incurred  whether  or  not  an 
acquisition  is consummated.  The incurrence  of these 
costs  could  adversely  affect  our  financial  results  for 
particular quarterly or annual periods.

RISKS  RELATED  TO  OWNERSHIP  OF  OUR 
COMMON STOCK 

Our  business  or  our  share  price  could  be 
negatively  affected  as  a  result  of  the  actions  of 
shareholders. 

In  recent  years,  some  shareholders  have  placed 
increasing  pressure  on  publicly  traded  companies  in 

63 

practices, 

executive 

our industry and others to effect changes to corporate 
governance 
compensation 
practices,  social  and  environmental  practices  and  to 
undertake certain corporate actions. This may be true 
even  if  they  only  hold  a  minority  of  shares.  In 
addition, many institutional investors are increasingly 
focused  on  ESG  factors.  These  investors  may  be 
seeking  enhanced  ESG  disclosures  or  to  implement 
policies  adverse  to  our  business.  There  can  be  no 
assurances 
that  shareholders  will  not  publicly 
advocate  for  us  to  make  corporate  governance 
changes  or  engage  in  certain  corporate  actions. 
Responding to challenges from shareholders, such as 
proxy  contests,  media  campaigns  or  other  public  or 
private  means,  could  be  costly  and  time  consuming 
and  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our  reputation 
and divert the attention and resources of management 
and our board, which could have an adverse effect on 
our  business  and  operational  results.  Any  such 
shareholder  actions  or  requests,  or  the  mere  public 
presence of shareholders with a reputation for taking 
such actions among our shareholder base, could also 
cause  the  market  price  of  our  common  stock  to 
experience periods of significant volatility. 

Provisions  in  our  certificate  of  incorporation 
and  by-laws  and  under  Delaware

to vote is required to amend or repeal our by-laws. 

In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the 
Delaware General Corporation Law (Section 203). In 
general and subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 

prohibits  a  publicly-held  corporation  from  engaging 
in  a  business  combination  with  an 
interested 
stockholder,  generally  a person  which, together  with 
its  affiliates,  owns  or  within  the  last  three  years  has 
owned  15%  or  more  of  the  corporation’s  voting 
stock, for a period of three years after the date of the 
transaction in which the person became an interested 
stockholder,  unless  the  business  combination  is 
approved  in  a  prescribed  manner.  Accordingly, 
Section  203  may  discourage,  delay  or  prevent  a 
change in control of us. 

Our  Board  of  Directors  may  implement  a  new 
stockholder rights plan without stockholder approval, 
which  could  prevent  a  change  in  control  of  us  in 
instances  in  which  some  stockholders  may  believe  a 
change in control is in their best interests. 

Our  Board  of  Directors  may  implement  a

preventing  a  change  in  control  of  us  in  instances  in 
which  some  stockholders  may  believe  a  change  in 
control  is  in  their  best  interests.  This  could  cause 
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts 
to  acquire  us  on  terms  that  our  Board  of  Directors 
does  not  believe  are  in  our  best  interests  or  those  of 
our  stockholders  and  may  discourage,  delay  or 
prevent a merger or acquisition that stockholders may 
consider  favorable,  including  transactions  in  which 
stockholders  might  otherwise  receive  a  premium  for 
their shares. 

Our  stock  price  is  volatile,  and  purchasers  of 

our common stock could incur substantial losses. 

Our  stock  price  has  been,  and  is  likely  to 
continue  to  be,  volatile.  The  market  price  of  our 
common stock could fluctuate significantly for many 
reasons,  including  in  response  to  the  risks  described 
in  this  “Risk  Factors”  section,  or  for  reasons 
unrelated  to  our  operations,  such  as  reports  by 
industry  analysts,  investor  perceptions  or  negative 
announcements  by  our  customers,  competitors  or 
suppliers regarding their own performance, as well as 
industry  conditions  and  general  financial,  economic 
and  political  instability.  From  November  15,  2006, 
when  our  common  stock  first  began  trading  on  the 
New  York  Stock  Exchange,  through  February  22, 
2023,  our  common  stock  has  traded  as  high  as 
$137.61 per share and as low as $4.17 per share. The 
market price of our common stock may be influenced 
by many factors, including, among others: 

•

and  procurement 
contracts,  decisions 
policies  by  the  USG  affecting  our  anthrax 
vaccines  and  our  other  products  and 
product candidates; 

• CDMO  contracts  related  to  COVID-19 

with collaboration partners; 

•

•

•

•

•

the  success  of  competitive  products  or 
technologies; 

results  of  clinical  and  non-clinical  trials  of 
our product candidates; 

announcements  of  acquisitions,  financings 
or other transactions by us; 

litigation or legal proceedings; 

public  concern  as  to  the  safety  of  our 
products; 

termination  or  delay  of  a  development 
program; 

affected,  each  of  which  could  negatively  affect  the 
trading price of our common stock.

recruitment  or  departure  of  key 

the 
personnel; 

variations  in  our  product  revenue  and 
profitability; and 

the  other  factors  described  in  this  “Risk 
Factors” section. 

Because  we  currently  do  not  pay  dividends, 
investors  will  benefit  from  an  investment  in  our 
common stock only if it appreciates in value. 

We  currently  do  not  pay  dividends  on  our 
common  stock.  Our  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities 
and  the  indenture  governing  our  Senior  Unsecured 
Notes  limit  and  any  future  debt  agreements  that  we 
enter into may limit our ability to pay dividends. As a 
result,  capital  appreciation,  if  any,  of  our  common 
stock  will  be  the  sole  source  of  gain  for  our 
stockholders based on current expectations. 

Future  issuances  of  our  common  stock  or 
securities convertible into common stock could result 
in  dilution  of  our  stockholders  and  could  cause  our 
share price to decline. 

We expect to continue to opportunistically  seek 
access  to  additional  capital  to  license  or  acquire 
additional products, product candidates or companies 
to  expand  our  operations  or  for  general  corporate 
purposes. To the extent we raise additional capital by 
issuing  equity  securities  or  securities  convertible  or 
exchangeable  into  common  stock,  our  stockholders 
may  experience  substantial  dilution.  We  may  sell 
common  stock,  and  we  may  sell  convertible  or 
exchangeable  securities  or  other  equity  securities  in 
one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we 
determine from time to time. If we sell such common 
stock, convertible or exchangeable securities or other 
equity  securities  in  subsequent  transactions,  existing 
stockholders may be materially diluted. 

GENERAL RISK FACTORS 

The accuracy of our financial reporting depends 
on  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over 
financial 
reporting.  Any  additional  material 
weakness  in  our  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our 
business and financial results and our ability to meet 
our  reporting  obligations  could  be  negatively 

65 

fair  presentation  of 

Internal  control  over  financial  reporting  can 
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the 
preparation  and 
financial 
statements  and  may  not  prevent  or  detect 
misstatements.  A  material  weakness  is  a  deficiency, 
or  a  combination  of  deficiencies,  in  internal  control 
is  a 
over  financial  reporting,  such 
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of 
our annual or interim financial statements will not be 
prevented  or  detected  on  a  timely  basis.  Failure  to 
maintain  effective  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting,  or 
in  disclosure  controls  and 
procedures,  could  impact  our  financial  information 
and  disclosures,  require  significant  resources  to 
remediate,  and  expose  us  to  legal  or  regulatory 
proceedings. 

lapses

that 

We  regularly  review  and  update  our  internal 
controls  and  disclosure  controls  and  procedures.  In 
addition,  we  are  required  under  the  Sarbanes-Oxley 
Act of 2002 to report annually on our internal control 
over financial reporting. 

Our  success  is  dependent  on  our  continued 
ability  to  attract,  motivate  and retain  key  personnel, 
and any failure to attract or retain key personnel may 
negatively affect our business. 

for 

Because  of  the  specialized  scientific  nature  of 
our  business,  our  ability  to  develop  products  and  to 
compete  with  our  current  and  future  competitors 
largely depends upon our ability to attract, retain and 
motivate  highly  qualified  managerial  and  key 
scientific  and  technical  personnel  (including  quality 
and  manufacturing  personnel).  If  we  are  unable  to 
retain  the  services  of  one  or  more  of  the  principal 
members  of  senior  management  or  other  key 
employees,  our  ability  to  implement  our  business 
strategy could be materially harmed. We face intense 
competition 
from 
qualified 
biopharmaceutical companies, research organizations 
and  academic  institutions.  Attracting,  retaining  or 
replacing these personnel on acceptable terms may be 
difficult and time-consuming  given the high demand 
in our industry for similar personnel. We believe part 
of being able to attract, motivate and retain personnel 
is  our  ability  to  offer  a  competitive  compensation 
package,  including  equity  incentive  awards.  If  we 
cannot  offer  a  competitive  compensation  package  to 
attract  and  retain  the  qualified  personnel  necessary 
for  the  continued  development  of  our  business,  we 
may  not  be  able  to  maintain  our  operations  or  grow 
our business.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW 

Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (“Emergent,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a global life sciences 
company focused on providing innovative preparedness and response solutions addressing accidental, deliberate, 
and naturally occurring Public Health Threats (“PHTs”). The Company’s solutions include a product portfolio, a 
product development portfolio, and a contract development and manufacturing (“CDMO”) services portfolio. 

We are currently focused on the following five PHT categories: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear 
and explosives (“CBRNE”); emerging infectious diseases (“EID”); travel health, which we have agreed to sell to 
Barvarian Nordic; public health crises; and acute, emergency and community care. We have a product portfolio 
of  thirteen  products  that  contribute  a  substantial  portion  of  our  revenue  and  are  sold  to  government  and 
commercial  customers.  We  also  have  a  product  candidate,  AV7909,  which  is  procured  under  special 
circumstances by the United States (“U.S.”) Government (“USG”), although it is not approved by the U.S. Food 
and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Additionally, we have a development pipeline consisting of a diversified mix 
of both pre-clinical and clinical stage product candidates. Finally, we have a fully integrated portfolio of CDMO 
services.  Our  CDMO  service  offerings  cover  development  services,  drug  substance  manufacturing  and  drug 
product manufacturing and packaging. 

The Company structures the business with a focus on markets and customers. As such, the key components 
of  the  business  structure  include  the  following  three  product  and  service  categories:  Government—Medical 
Countermeasures  (“MCM”)  Products,  Commercial  Products,  and  CDMO  Services.  The  Company  operates  as 
two  operating  segments:  (1)  a  products  segment  (“Products”)  consisting  of  the  Government—MCM  and 
Commercial products and (2) a services segment (“Services”) consisting of our CDMO services.

70 

development and manufacturing sites operated by us for our internal products and pipeline candidates and third-
party CDMO services. We service both clinical-stage and commercial-stage projects for a variety of third-party 
customers,  including  government  agencies,  innovative  pharmaceutical  companies,  and  non-government 
organizations. 

Full Year 2022 Executive Highlights 

Asset Acquisition 

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company acquired from Chimerix the exclusive worldwide 
rights to brincidofovir, including TEMBEXA® and other related assets. TEMBEXA is a medical countermeasure 
for smallpox approved by the FDA in June 2021. 

Other Strategic Activities 

2023 Organizational Restructuring Plan 

On January 9, 2023, the Company announced an organizational restructuring plan (the “Plan”) intended to 
reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing commitment 
to profitable growth. The Plan includes a reduction of the Company’s current workforce by approximately five 
percent. Decisions regarding the elimination of positions are subject to local law and consultation requirements in 
certain countries, as well as the Company’s business needs. 

The  Company  estimates  that  it  will  incur  approximately  $9.0  million  to  $11.0  million  of  charges  in 
connection  with  the  Plan,  which  it  expects  to  incur  in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2023.  These  charges  consist 
primarily  of  charges  related  to  employee  transition,  severance  payments,  employee  benefits,  and  share-based 
compensation.  These  actions,  in  combination  with  other  cost  reduction  initiatives,  are  expected  to  result  in 
annualized savings of over $60 million when fully implemented. 

Agreement to Sell Travel Business Health 

On February 15, 2023, we entered into the Sale Agreement with Bavarian Nordic, under which we agreed to 
sell  our  travel  health  business,  including  rights  to  Vaxchora  and  Vivotif,  as  well  as  our  development-stage 
chikungunya  vaccine  candidate  CHIKV  VLP,  our  manufacturing  site  in  Bern,  Switzerland  and  certain  of  our 
development  facilities  in  San  Diego,  California  for  a  cash  purchase  price  of  $270.0  million,  subject  to  certain 
customary  adjustments.  In  addition,  we  may  receive  milestone  payments  of  up  to  $80.0  million  related  to  the 
development of CHIKV VLP and receipt of marketing  approval and authorization  in the U.S. and Europe, and 
sales-based milestones payments of up to $30.0 million based on aggregate net sales of Vaxchora and Vivotif in 
calendar  year  2026.  Approximately  280  employees  are  expected  to  join  Bavarian  Nordic  as  part  of  the 
transaction. 

The  transaction  is  expected  to  close  in  the  second  quarter  of  2023,  subject  to  certain  customary  closing 
conditions,  including  (1)  the  expiration  or  earlier  termination  of  the  applicable  waiting  period  under  the  Hart-
Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (2) receipt of required clearances and approvals 
under  Spain’s  competition  laws,  (3)  receipt  of  certain  Swiss  real  property  approvals,  (4)  no  material  adverse 
effect having occurred with respect to the Business, and (5) certain other customary conditions. 

Financial Operations Overview 

Revenues 

We generate product revenues from the sale of our marketed products and procured product candidates. The 
USG is the largest purchaser of our Government—MCM products and primarily purchases our products for the 

71 

SNS,  a  national  repository  of  medical  countermeasures  including  critical  antibiotics,  vaccines,  chemical 
antidotes, antitoxins, and other critical medical supplies. The USG primarily purchases our products under long-
term,  firm  fixed-price  procurement  contracts,  generally  with  annual  options.  Our  opioid  overdose  treatment 
product, NARCAN® Nasal Spray, and our travel health products, Vivotif and Vaxchora, are sold commercially 
through wholesalers and distributors, physician-directed or standing order prescriptions at retail pharmacies and 
to state and local community healthcare agencies, practitioners and hospitals. 

We  also  generate  revenue  from  our  CDMO  services,  which  is  based  on  our  established  development  and 
manufacturing  infrastructure,  technology  platforms  and  expertise.  Our  services  include  a  fully  integrated 
molecule-to-market  CDMO  services  business  offering  across  development  services,  drug  substance  and  drug 
product  for  small 
industry  and  government  agencies/
non-governmental  organizations.  From  time  to  time,  clients  require  suite  reservations  at  our  various 
manufacturing sites, which may be considered leases depending on the facts and circumstances. 

large  pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology 

to 

We have received contracts and grant funding from the USG and other non-governmental organizations to 

perform R&D activities, particularly related to programs addressing certain CBRNE threats and EIDs. 

Our  revenue,  operating  results  and  profitability  vary  quarterly  based  on  the  timing  of  production  and 
deliveries,  the  timing  of  manufacturing  services  performed  and  the  nature  of  our  business,  which  involves 
providing  large  scale  bundles  of  products  and  services  as  needs  arise.  We  expect  continued  variability  in  our 
quarterly financial results. 

Cost of Product Sales and Services 

Products - The primary expenses that we incur to deliver our products consist of fixed and variable costs. 
We  determine  the  cost  of  product  sales  for  products  sold  during  a  reporting  period  based  on  the  average 
manufacturing  cost  per  unit  in  the  period  those  units  were  manufactured.  Fixed  manufacturing  costs  include 
facilities, utilities and amortization of intangible assets. Variable manufacturing costs primarily consist of costs 
for  materials  and  personnel-related  expenses  for  direct  and  indirect  manufacturing  support  staff,  contract 
manufacturing  operations,  sales-based  royalties,  shipping  and  logistics.  In  addition  to  the  fixed  and  variable 
manufacturing costs described above, the cost of product sales depends on utilization of available manufacturing 
capacity.  For our commercial  sales, other associated  expenses include sales-based royalties (which include fair 
value adjustments associated with contingent consideration), shipping, and logistics. 

Services - The primary expenses that we incur to deliver our CDMO services consist of fixed and variable 
costs, including personnel, equipment, and facilities costs. Our manufacturing process includes the production of 
bulk material 

and  performing  drug  product  work  for  containment  and  distribution  of  biological  products.  For  drug  product 
customers, we receive work in process inventory to be prepared for distribution. 

Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”) 

We expense R&D costs as incurred. Our R&D expenses consist primarily of: 

•

•

•

•

personnel-related expenses; 

fees  to  professional  service  providers  for,  among  other  things,  analytical  testing,  independent 
monitoring  or  other  administration  of  our  clinical  trials  and  obtaining  and  evaluating  data  from  our 
clinical trials and non-clinical studies; 

costs of CDMO services for our clinical trial material; and 

costs of materials intended for use and used in clinical trials and R&D. 

72 

In many cases, we seek funding for development activities from external sources and third parties, such as 
governments  and  non-governmental  organizations,  or  through  collaborative  partnerships.  We  expect  our  R&D 
spending  will  be  dependent  upon  such  factors  as  the  results  from  our  clinical  trials,  the  availability  of 
reimbursement of R&D spending, the number of product candidates under development, the size, structure and 
duration of any clinical programs that we may initiate, the costs associated with manufacturing and development 
of our product candidates on a large-scale basis for later stage clinical trials, and our ability to use or rely on data 
generated by government agencies. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  consist  primarily  of  personnel-related  costs  and  professional 
fees  in  support  of  our  executives,  sales  and  marketing,  business  development,  government  affairs,  finance, 
accounting, information technology, legal, human resource functions and other corporate functions. Other costs 
include facility costs not otherwise included in cost of product sales and CDMO services or R&D expense. 

Income Taxes 

Uncertainty  in  income  taxes  is  accounted  for  using  a  recognition  threshold  and  measurement  attribute  for 
the  financial  statement  recognition  and  measurement  of  a  tax  position  taken  or  expected  to  be  taken  in  a  tax 
return. We recognize in our financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than 
not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. 

Management  believes  that  the  assumptions  and  estimates  related  to  the  provision  for  income  taxes  are 
critical  to  the  Company’s  results  of  operations.  For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  income  tax  expense 
totaled $2.1 million. For every 1% change in the 2022 effective rate, income tax expense would have changed by 
approximately $2.2 million. 

For  additional  information  on  our  uncertain  tax  positions  and  income  tax  expense,  please  see  Note  13, 

“Income taxes” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2021 

Revenues and gross margin 

Total  revenues  decreased  $671.8  million  to  $1.1  billion  in  2022.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due  to  a 
decrease  in  Services  revenue  of  $521.3  million,  coupled  with  decreases  in  Contracts  and  Grants  revenue  of 
$92.8 million and Products revenue of $57.7 million. 

Consolidated gross margin percentage decreased 19% to 36%. The decrease was primarily due to decreases 
in the Services segment and Products segment gross margins of $415.4 million and $99.8 million, respectively. 
Consolidated gross margin percentage excludes contracts and grants revenues because the related costs are R&D 
expenses.

Unallocated corporate expenses 

Research and Development Expenses 

R&D  expenses  decreased  $41.0  million  to  $193.0  million  in  2022.  The  decrease  was  largely  due  to  the 
non-cash write-off in 2021 of $38.0 million of the contract asset associated with the completion of the BARDA 
COVID-19  Development  Public  Private  Partnership,  coupled  with  a  decrease  in  spending  for  the  Company’s 
COVID-19 therapeutic product candidates along with a number of other developmental activities, partially offset 
by  an  increase  in  costs  associated  with  the  Company’s  Phase  3  study  of  our  chikungunya  virus-like  particle 
vaccine candidate and pre-launch inventory related to CGRD-001. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $8.1 million to $340.3 million in 2022. The decrease 
was  due  to  lower  professional  services  and  marketing  expenses  partially  offset  by  increased  employee  costs, 
primarily due to increased travel costs. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of total revenue 
increased 10.9% to 30.4% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to a decrease in revenues 
during the period, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the period. 

Amortization of Intangible Assets 

Amortization of intangible assets increased $1.4 million to $59.9 million in 2022. Apart from the addition of 
the  intangibles  related  to  the  Company’s  acquisition  of  the  worldwide  rights  to  TEMBEXA  in  2022,  the 
composition of intangible assets amortized was largely consistent with 2021. 

Goodwill Impairment 

Goodwill impairment  decreased $35.0 million to $6.7 million in 2022. The decrease was due to a smaller 
non-cash  impairment  charge  taken  in  2022  as  compared  with  2021.  In  2022,  as  part  of  its  annual  goodwill 
impairment  testing,  the  Company  recognized  a  $6.7  million  impairment  charge  to  goodwill  in  the  CDMO- 
Services reporting unit, reducing the goodwill balance to zero as of December 31, 2022. 

There  is  the  risk  of  future  impairments  in  our  reporting  units  as  any  further  deterioration  in  their 
performance compared to forecast, changes in order volumes or delivery schedules for major customers, as well 
as any changes in economic forecasts and expected recovery in the biopharmaceutical industry, may require the 
Company to complete additional impairment tests in future quarters and could result in the reporting unit’s fair 
value falling below carrying value in subsequent quarters. In the event the Company experiences factors that it 
believes indicate a decline in fair value, including negative changes to long-term growth rates or if discount rates 
increase, we may be required to record impairments of goodwill and other identified intangible assets. Further, if 
the composition of the Company’s reporting unit’s assets and liabilities were to change and result in an increase 
in  the  reporting  unit’s  carrying  value,  it  could  lead  to  additional  impairment  testing  and  further  impairment 
losses. 

Total other income (expense), net 

Total  other  income  (expense),  net  decreased  $10.8  million  to  an  expense  of  $49.0  million  in  2022.  The 
decrease  was  due  to  a  write-off  of  a  tax  indemnity  receivable,  which  is  offset  in  income  tax  provision,  and 
unrealized  foreign  currency  losses  recorded  related  to  the  remeasurement  of  certain  intercompany  balances. 
Interest expense was largely consistent between periods. 

75 

Income tax provision 

Income tax provision decreased $81.4 million to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The 
decrease was largely due to the decline in income before income taxes. The effective tax rate was (1)% for the 
year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 27% in 2021. The effective annual tax rate decreased largely due 
to  an  increase  in  nondeductible  expenses,  specifically  the  impact  of  a  valuation  allowance  charge  in  the  U.S., 
state and foreign jurisdictions, a charge due the Company’s indefinite reinvestment assertion, GILTI, and other 
permanent items. This is partially offset by tax credits, favorable rates in foreign jurisdictions, and the release of 
an indemnified unrecognized tax benefit.

Year Ended December 31, 2022 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2021 

Nasal Naloxone Products 

Nasal  Naloxone  Product  sales  decreased  $60.6  million  to  $373.7  million  in  2022.  The  decrease  was 
primarily  driven  by  a  reduction  in  commercial  retail  sales  and  a  decrease  in  the  price  per  unit  following  the 
launch of a generic version of NARCAN Nasal Spray 4mg in December 2021, partially offset by an increase in 
U.S. public interest and Canadian sales. 

Anthrax Vaccines 

Anthrax  vaccine  sales  increased  $14.5  million  to  $274.3  million  in  2022.  The  increase  in  anthrax  vaccine 
sales was primarily due to an increase in the number of doses sold as a result of the timing of deliveries to the 
USG in 2022 as compared with 2021, as well as an increase in sales to non-USG customers at a higher price per 
unit in 2022. Anthrax vaccine product sales are primarily made under annual purchase options exercised by the 
USG. Fluctuations  in  revenues  result  from  the  timing  of  the  exercise  of  annual  purchase  options  and  the  USG 
purchases and Company delivery of orders that follow. 

76 

 
 
 
 
 
ACAM2000 

ACAM2000 sales decreased $143.1 million to $63.4 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a 
lower  number  of  units  sold  to  the  USG,  partially  offset  by  an  increased  number  of  units  sold  to  non-U.S. 
customers at a higher price per unit. We are currently negotiating with HHS the terms of a third contract option 
for  ACAM2000. The  actual  number  of  ACAM2000 doses  to  be  procured  in  the  future  is  dependent  on certain 
timing and tiered-pricing terms that are subject to the discretion of HHS. 

TEMBEXA 

TEMBEXA  sales,  following  the  2022  acquisition  of  worldwide  rights  to  TEMBEXA,  contributed 

$117.6 million in revenues in 2022. 

Other Product Sales 

Other  product  sales  increased  $13.9 million  to  $137.2 million  in 2022. The increase  was primarily  due to 
increased sales of Anthrasil, Vivotif and RSDL products partially offset by decreased sales of VIGIV and BAT 
products. 

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin 

Cost  of  product  sales  increased  $42.1  million,  or  11%,  to  $424.1  million  in  2022.  The  increase  was 
primarily  due  to  cost  of  sales  for  TEMBEXA  following  our  2022  acquisition  of  the  worldwide  rights  for 
TEMBEXA.  Excluding  the  acquisition  related  product  costs,  cost  of  product  sales  decreased  $18.1  million, 
primarily due decreases in royalties paid for NARCAN sales and ACAM2000 product sales which were due to a 
reduced  number  of  units  sold  to  the  USG  and  decreased  expenses  at  our  Bern  facility  due  to  higher  facility 
utilization versus prior year. These were partially offset by inventory write-offs, primarily related to AV7909 and 
ACAM2000 and higher costs due to under-utilized capacity at our facilities. 

Product gross margin percentage decreased 7% to 56% in 2022. The decrease was largely due to decreased 
sales  volumes  and  inventory  write-offs  combined  with  a  less  favorable  mix  weighted  more  heavily  to  lower 
margin  products.  Adjusted  gross  margin  percentage  decreased  1%  to  62%  in  2022.  Adjusted  gross  margin 
excludes  the  impact  of  non-cash  items  related  to  the  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration  of 
$2.6 million and the inventory step-up provision TEMBEXA inventory of $51.4 million.

Services Revenues 

CDMO services  revenue  decreased  $226.5 million  to $108.4 million  in 2022. The decrease  was primarily 
due  to  $201.4  million  less  of  combined  revenue  related  to  reduced  production  activities  at  the  Company’s 
Bayview facility as a result of a halt in manufacturing under the Janssen contract in first quarter of 2022 and the 
cessation of manufacturing activities under the AstraZeneca contract which occurred in 2021. Additionally, the 
decrease  also  reflects  reduced  production  at  the  Camden  facility.  The  decreases  were  slightly  offset  by  an 
increase in manufacturing activities at the Company’s Winnipeg facility. 

CDMO lease revenue decreased $294.8 million to $4.9 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a 
reduction  of  $237.6  million  associated  with  the  completion  of  our  COVID-19  development  public-private 
partnership  with  BARDA  in  November  2021  and  reduced  lease  revenues  under  the  Janssen  contract  of 
$58.1 million. 

Cost of Services and Gross Margin 

Cost of Services decreased $105.9 million, or 28%, to $269.6 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily 
due to reduced production  activities  across our CDMO network, as well as a $41.5 million inventory write-off 
related to the Bayview facility in the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by increased costs at our Camden 
facility for additional investments in quality enhancement and improvement initiatives. 

Services gross margin percentage decreased to (138)% in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to reduced 
production  activities  across  our  CDMO network  including  the  completion  of  the Company’s arrangement  with 
BARDA  in  November  2021,  the  halt  in  manufacturing  under  the  Janssen  and  AstraZeneca  contracts  and  the 
decrease in margins at the Company’s Camden facility due to additional investments in quality enhancement and 
improvement initiatives, including an increase in professional services costs. 

OTHER REVENUE

Contracts and Grants 

Contract and grants revenue decreased $92.8 million, or 69%, to $41.4 million in 2022. The decrease was 
primarily  due  to  BARDA’s  completion  of  the  CIADM  agreement  in  November  2021  as  well  as  decreases  in 
development activities associated with various other externally funded research and development projects, most 
notably  the  Company’s  COVID-HIG  therapeutic  product  candidate,  as  well  as  decreases  in  development 
activities for AV7909. Decreases were partially offset by revenue increases relating to indirect rate adjustments 
during the period.

Principal Sources of Capital Resources 

We  have  historically  financed  our  operating  and  capital  expenditures  through  existing  cash  and  cash 
equivalents,  cash  from  operations,  development  contracts  and  grant  funding  and  borrowings  under  our  senior 
revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and senior term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”, 
and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) and other lines of credit 
we  have  established  from  time  to  time.  We  also  obtain  financing  from  the  sale  of  our  common  stock  upon 
exercise  of  stock  options.  As  of  December  31,  2022,  we  had  unrestricted  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of 
$642.6 million and remaining capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility of $0.7 million. 

Going Concern 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which 
assumes  the  Company  will  continue  to  operate  as  a  going  concern  and  which  contemplates  the  realization  of 
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  there  is  $598.0  million  outstanding  on  the  our  Revolving  Credit  Facility  and 
$362.8 million on our Term Loan Facility that mature in October 2023, which is within one year of the date that 
the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are issued. The Company determined 
that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after 
the date that the financial statements are issued as a result of these pending maturities. This evaluation considered 
the potential  mitigating  effect of management’s  plans that have not been fully implemented.  Management may 
evaluate  the  mitigating  effect  of  its  plans  to  determine  if  it  is  probable  that  (1)  the  plans  will  be  effectively 
implemented  within one year after the date the financial  statements  are issued, and (2) when implemented,  the 
plans  will  mitigate  the  relevant  conditions  or  events  that  raise  substantial  doubt  about  the  entity’s  ability  to 
continue  as  a  going  concern.  The  Company’s  plan  to  alleviate  the  substantial  doubt  includes  amending  its 
existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities that are due October 2023. 

On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Consent, Limited Waiver, and Third Amendment to the 
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement” and “Third Credit Agreement Amendment”) 
relating  to  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities.  Pursuant  to  the  Third  Credit  Agreement  Amendment,  the 
requisite  lenders  consented  to  our  sale  of  our  travel  health  business  to  Bavarian  Nordic  substantially  in 
accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement. The proceeds from the transaction will be deposited into a cash 
collateral  account with the Administrative  Agent and will, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the 

79 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
requisite lenders, be used to repay the outstanding Term Loan Facility on the expiration of the Limited Waiver 
(as  described  below).  We  currently  expect  the  transaction  to  close  in  the  second  quarter  of  2023,  but  we  can 
provide no assurance that the transaction will close prior to the October 2023 maturity of the Term Loan Facility, 
or at all. 

Pursuant to the Third Credit Agreement Amendment the requisite lenders have agreed to a limited waiver of 
any  defaults  or  events  of  default  that  result  from  (a)  any  violation  of  the  financial  covenants  set  forth  in  the 
Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  with  respect  to  the  fiscal  quarters  ending  December  31,  2022  and  March  31, 
2023 and (b) the going concern qualification  or exception contained in the audited financial  statements  for the 
fiscal  year  ending  December  31,  2022.  This  limited  waiver  will  expire  on  the  earlier  to  occur  of  (i)  any  other 
event of default and (ii) April 17, 2023. During this period the Company is working with lenders under the Senior 
Secured  Credit  Facilities  in  connection  with  replacing  such  facilities  before  their  October  2023  maturity  with 
revised terms and conditions. The Company does not expect to be in compliance with debt covenants in future 
periods without additional sources of liquidity or future amendments to the Credit Agreement. 

While the Company is in the process of replacing and expects to replace the Senior Secured Credit Facilities 
before they mature, management cannot make the assumption that it is probable that the Company will be able to 
obtain such debt refinancing on commercially reasonable terms or at all until a new credit facility is in place. The 
Company  is  currently  working  with  its  lenders  to  refinance  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  with  revised 
terms and conditions. The extent to which the Company will be able to affect such refinancing, replacement or 
maturity extension on terms that are favorable or at all is dependent on a number of uncertain factors, including 
then-prevailing credit and other market conditions, economic conditions, particularly in the pharmaceutical and 
biotechnology  industry,  disruptions  or  volatility  caused  by  factors  such  as  COVID-19,  regional  conflicts, 
inflation,  and  supply  chain  disruptions.  In  addition,  rising  interest  rates  could  limit  our  ability  to  refinance  the 
Senior Secured Credit Facilities when they mature or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing. 

The Company has $642.6 million of cash on hand at December 31, 2022. On January 9, 2023, the Company 
announced  the  2023  organizational  restructuring  Plan  (the  “Plan”)  intended  to  reduce  operating  costs,  improve 
operating margins, and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing commitment to profitable growth. The Plan 
includes  a  reduction  of  the  Company’s  current  workforce  by  approximately  five  percent.  These  actions,  in 
combination  with  other  cost  reduction  initiatives,  are  expected  to  result  in  annualized  savings  of  over 
$60.0 million when fully implemented.

Operating Activities: 

Net  cash  used  in  operating  activities  of  $34.1  million  in  2022  was  due  to  net  income  excluding  non-cash 
items  of  $34.6  million  offset  by  positive  working  capital  changes  of  $0.5  million  primarily  due  an  increase  in 

80 

 
 
 
 
 
 
payments  for our contingent  consideration  and other accrued expenses, an increase in prepaid expenses and an 
accumulation of inventory, partially offset by collections on receivables. 

Net  cash  provided  by  operating  activities  of  $321.1  million  in  2021  was  due  to  net  income  excluding 
non-cash items of $477.5 million offset by negative working capital changes of $156.4 million due to increases 
in receivables and associated changes in contract liabilities and the accumulation of inventory. 

Net  cash  provided  by  (used  in)  operating  activities  decreased  $355.2  million  from  2021  to  2022.  The 
decrease is due to a decrease in net income excluding non-cash items of $512.1 million offset by an increase in 
working capital changes of $156.9 million. 

Investing Activities: 

Net cash used in investing activities of $381.3 million in 2022 relates to payments for asset acquisitions, the 

purchases of property, plant and equipment and a royalty settlement payment. 

Net  cash  used  in  investing  activities  of  $225.0  million  in  2021 relates  to  purchases  of  property,  plant  and 

equipment for increased capacity at our Rockville and Bayview facilities. 

Net cash used in investing activities increased $156.3 million from 2021 to 2022. The increase is largely due 
the acquisition of worldwide rights to TEMBEXA® for $238.0 million, which closed in the third quarter of 2022. 

Financing Activities: 

Net cash provided by financing activities of $481.2 million in 2022 was largely from the $598.0 million of 
proceeds  from  our  Revolving  Credit  Facility  partially  offset  by  repurchases  of  stock  of  $82.1  million  and 
payments on our term loan of $33.8 million. 

Net cash used in financing activities of $141.0 million in 2021 was primarily due to repurchases of stock of 

$106.0 million and payments on debt of $35.9 million. 

Net  cash  provided  by  (used  in)  financing  activities  increased  $622.2  million  from  2021  to  2022.  The 
increase is largely due to the proceeds from our Revolving Credit Facility of $598.0 million, partially offset by a 
decrease in cash payments on our Term Loan Facility. 

Debt 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  has  $1.4  billion  of  fixed  and  variable  rate  debt  with  varying 
maturities,  with  $957.3  million  payable  within  12  months  (see  Note  8,  “Debt”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated 
Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K). 

Uncertainties and Trends Affecting Funding Requirements 

We  expect  to  continue  to  fund  our  anticipated  operating  expenses,  capital  expenditures  and  debt  service 

requirements from the following sources: 

•

•

•

•

existing cash and cash equivalents; 

net proceeds from the sale of our products and CDMO services; 

development contracts and grant funding; 

proceeds  from  the  sale  of  our  travel  health  business  to  Bavarian  Nordic  (see  Note  18,  “Subsequent 
events” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K); and 

81 

•

our Senior Secured Credit Facilities and any replacement or other lines of credit we may establish from 
time to time. 

There  are  numerous  risks  and  uncertainties  associated  with  product  sales  and  with  the  development  and 
commercialization  of  our  product  candidates.  We  may  seek  additional  external  financing  to  provide  additional 
financial flexibility. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including (but not limited to): 

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

the level, timing and cost of product sales and CDMO services; 

the  extent  to  which  we  acquire  or  invest  in  and  integrate  companies,  businesses,  products  or 
technologies; 

the acquisition of new facilities and capital improvements to new or existing facilities; 

the payment obligations under our indebtedness; 

the scope, progress, results and costs of our development activities; 

our  ability  to  obtain  funding  from  collaborative  partners,  government  entities  and  non-governmental 
organizations for our development programs; and 

the costs of commercialization activities, including product marketing, sales and distribution. 

If our capital resources are insufficient to meet our future capital requirements, we will need to finance our 
cash  needs  through  public  or  private  equity  or  debt  offerings,  bank  loans,  collaboration  and  licensing 
arrangements, cost reductions, assets sales or a combination of these options. 

If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. Public or bank debt 
financing,  if  available,  may  involve  agreements  that  include  covenants,  like  those  contained  in  our  3.875% 
Senior  Unsecured  Notes  due  2028  (the  “Senior  Unsecured  Notes”)  and  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities, 
which could limit or restrict our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital 
expenditures,  pursuing  acquisition  opportunities,  buying  back  shares  or  declaring  dividends.  If  we  raise  funds 
through collaboration  and licensing  arrangements  with third  parties,  it may be necessary  to relinquish  valuable 
rights to our technologies or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. 

Economic conditions, including market volatility and adverse impacts on financial markets as a result of the 
COVID-19 pandemic, may make it more difficult to obtain financing on attractive terms, or at all. Any new debt 
funding, if available, may be on terms less favorable to us than our Senior Secured Credit Facilities or the Senior 
Unsecured Notes. If financing is unavailable or lost, our business, operating results, financial condition and cash 
flows would be adversely affected, and we could be forced to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate many of our 
planned activities.

Contractual Obligations 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  has  contractual  obligations  related  to  lease  arrangements  and 
purchase  commitments.  The  lease  arrangements  are  for  certain  equipment  and  facilities.  As  of  December  31, 
2022,  the  Company  had  fixed  lease  payment  obligations  of  $23.5  million,  with  $6.5  million  due  within  12 
months.  The  Company  has  non-cancelable  purchase  commitments  of  $132.8  million,  with  an  estimated 
$125.7 million being due within 12 months. 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates 

Our  consolidated  financial  statements  and  related  disclosures  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  US  GAAP, 
which  requires  management  to  make  estimates,  judgments  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  amounts  reported. 
Note 2, “Summary of significant accounting policies” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 
II,  Item  8  of  this  Form  10-K  describes  the  accounting  policies  and  methods  used  in  the  preparation  of  the 
Company’s consolidated  financial  statements. Management considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is 
important  to  reporting  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations,  and  if  it  requires  significant  judgment 
and  estimates  on  the  part  of  management  in  its  application.  Management  bases  its  estimates  on  historical 
experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of 
which  form  the  basis  for  making  judgments  about  the carrying  values  of assets  and liabilities  and the reported 
amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  that  are  not  readily  apparent  from  other  sources.  Actual  results  may  differ 
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. 

Management believes the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue 

recognition, contingent consideration, and income taxes. 

Revenue Recognition 

The  Company’s  product  sales  are  recognized  at  a  point-in-time  generally  upon  delivery  to  the  customer, 
depending  on  the  performance  obligation  which  the  Company  is  delivering.  The  Company’s  CDMO 
arrangements  are  generally  recognized  on  a  percentage  of  completion  basis  utilizing  a  cost-to-cost  method. 
Revenues are recognized as a percentage of the work completed during the period in an amount that reflects the 
percentage of the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for the product or services. 

For  contracts  with  multiple  performance  obligations,  the  Company  allocates  the  contract  price  to  each 
performance  obligation  on  a  relative  standalone  selling  price  basis  using  the  Company’s  best  estimate  of  the 
standalone  selling  price  of each distinct  product or service in the contract. Certain contracts  may include lease 
components which are recognized under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. The primary method 
used to estimate  standalone selling price is the price observed in standalone sales to customers,  however when 
prices  in  standalone  sales  are  not  available  the  Company  may  use  third-party  pricing  for  similar  products  or 
services or estimate the standalone selling price based on the best available information. 

Revenues are recorded net of reserves established for applicable discounts and allowances that are offered 
within  contracts  with  customers.  The  Company  makes  estimates  of  the  transaction  price,  including  variable 
consideration that is subject to a constraint. Estimates of variable consideration includes allowances for returns, 
specialty  distributor  fees,  wholesaler  fees,  prompt  payment  discounts,  government  rebates,  chargebacks  and 
rebates under managed care plans. Revenues from sales of products is recognized to the extent that it is probable 
that a significant  reversal in the amount of cumulative  revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty 
associated  with  such  variable  consideration  is  subsequently  resolved.  Provisions  for  variable  consideration 
revenues from sales of products are recorded at the net sales price. For additional information on our revenues, 
refer to Note 11, “Revenue recognition” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of 
this Form 10-K. 

83 

Contingent Consideration 

In  connection  with  the  Company’s  acquisitions  accounted  for  as  business  combinations,  the  Company 
records contingent consideration  associated with sales-based royalties, sales-based milestones and development 
and regulatory milestones at fair value, as applicable. The fair value model used to calculate these obligations is 
based  on  the  income  approach  (a  discounted  cash  flow  model)  that  has  been  risk  adjusted  based  on  the 
probability  of  achievement  of  net  sales  and  achievement  of  the  milestones.  The  inputs  the  Company  uses  for 
determining  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  associated  with  sales-based  royalties,  sales-based 
milestones  and  development  and  regulatory  milestones  are  Level  3  fair  value  measurements.  The  Company 
re-evaluates the fair value of contingent consideration on a quarterly basis. Changes in the fair value can result 
from adjustments to the discount rates and updates in the assumed timing of or achievement of net sales and/or 
the achievement of development and regulatory milestones. 

The Company’s acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions may also include contingent consideration 
payments  to  be  made  for  sales-based  royalties,  sales-based  milestones  and  development  and  regulatory 
milestones.  We  assess  whether  such  contingent  consideration  meets  the  definition  of  a  derivative.  Contingent 
consideration  payments  in  an  asset  acquisition  not  required  to  be  accounted  for  as  derivatives  are  recognized 
when  the  contingency  is  resolved,  and  the  consideration  is  paid  or  becomes  payable.  Contingent  consideration 
payments required to be accounted for as derivatives are recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition and 
are subsequently remeasured  to fair value at each reporting date. For additional information on the Company’s 
contingent  consideration,  refer  to  Note  6,  “Fair  value  measurements”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Form 10-K. 

Income Taxes 

The  Company  recognizes  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  for  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to 
differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax 
bases and net operating loss and R&D tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured 
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are 
expected  to  be  recovered  or  settled.  Valuation  allowances  are  recorded  as  appropriate  to  reduce  deferred  tax 
assets to the amount considered likely to be realized. 

The Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities  and liabilities  for unrecognized tax 
benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated current and future taxes to be paid. As tax laws are 
complex and subject to different interpretations, significant management judgement is required in (1) calculating 
the Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, (2) determining any valuation 
allowance  recorded  against  deferred  tax  assets  and  (3)  evaluating  the  amount  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits,  as 
well  as  the  interest  and  penalties  related  to  such  uncertain  tax  positions.  The  Company’s  estimates  and 
assumptions  may  differ  from  tax  benefits  ultimately  realized.  For  additional  information  on  the  Company’s 
income taxes, refer to Note 13, “Income taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 
8. of this Form 10-K.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

For a discussion of additional risks arising from our operations, see “Item 1A—Business—Risk Factors” in 

this 2022 Annual Report. 

Market Risks 

We have interest rate and foreign currency market risk. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash and 
cash equivalents,  we believe that an increase  in market rates would likely not have a significant  impact on the 
realized value of our investments. 

Interest Rate Risk 

We  have  debt  with  a  mix  of  fixed  and  variable  rates  of  interest.  Floating  rate  debt  carries  interest  based 
generally on the eurocurrency rate, as defined in our Credit Agreement, plus an applicable margin. We manage 
the impact of interest rate changes on our variable debt through derivative instruments such as interest rate swap 
arrangements. For debt that we have not hedged through our interest rate swap arrangements increases in interest 
rates  could  therefore  increase  the  associated  interest  payments  that  we  are  required  to  make  on  this  debt. 
See Note 8, “Debt,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Form 10-K. 

We  have  assessed  our  exposure  to  changes  in  interest  rates  by  analyzing  the  sensitivity  to  our  operating 
results assuming various changes in market interest rates. A hypothetical increase of one percentage point in the 
eurocurrency  rate as of December 31, 2022 would increase our interest expense by approximately $6.1 million 
annually. 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk 

We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations worldwide and primarily with respect to 
the Euro, Canadian dollar, Swiss franc and British pound. We manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk 
primarily  by  either  entering  into  foreign  currency  hedging  transactions  or  incurring  operating  expenses  in  the 
local currency in the countries in which we operate, to the extent practicable. We currently do not hedge all of 
our  foreign  currency  exchange  exposure  and  the  movement  of  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  could  have  an 
adverse or positive impact on our results of operations.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Emergent BioSolutions Inc. 

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Emergent  BioSolutions  Inc.  and 
subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, 
comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period  ended  December  31,  2022,  and  the  related  notes  and  financial  statement  schedule  listed  in  the  Index  at 
Item  15  (collectively  referred  to  as  the  “consolidated  financial  statements”).  In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated 
financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  the  Company  at 
December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United  States)  (PCAOB),  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2022, 
based on criteria  established  in Internal Control-Integrated  Framework issued  by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated March 1, 2023 expressed an 
adverse opinion thereon. 

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern 

The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  have been prepared assuming that the Company will 
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company does not expect to 
be  in  compliance  with  debt  covenants  in  future  periods  without  additional  sources  of  liquidity  or  future 
amendments  to  its  Credit  Agreement,  has  a  working  capital  deficiency,  and  has  stated  that  substantial  doubt 
exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and 
conditions  and  management’s  plans  regarding  these  matters  are  also  described  in  Note  2.  The  consolidated 
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 

Basis for Opinion 

These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to 
express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm 
registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with 
the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange 
Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we 
plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of 
material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud.  Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the 
risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud,  and  performing 
procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding 
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting 
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of 
the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

Critical Audit Matters 

The  critical  audit  matters  communicated  below  are  matters  arising  from  the  current  period  audit  of  the 
financial  statements  that  were  communicated  or  required  to  be  communicated  to  the  audit  committee  and that: 

86 

(1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially 
challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any 
way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating 
the  critical  audit  matters  below,  providing  separate  opinions  on  the  critical  audit  matters  or on the accounts  or 
disclosures to which they relate. 

Description of 
the Matter 

Revenue recognition 
As  described  in  Notes  2  and  11  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company 
recognized revenues of $373.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 related to the sale 
of nasal naloxone products. For these product sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time, 
and  the  Company’s  estimation  of  variable  consideration  includes  allowances  for  returns, 
certain fees, discounts, rebates and chargebacks. 

Auditing  revenue  recognition  for  nasal  naloxone  product  sales  involved  significant  auditor 
judgment because it involves subjective assumptions and estimates made by management. For 
example,  auditing  management’s  estimated  rebates  and  returns  for  commercial  arrangements 
are  subject  to  significant  judgment  because  their  expected  value  is  based  on  assumptions 
including  sales  or  invoice  data,  expected  utilization  rates,  historical  payment  experience,  and 
changes  in  product  pricing  or  customer  contracts.  These  estimates  are  forward-looking  and 
could be affected by future economic conditions and the competitive environment. 

How We 
Addressed the 
Matter in Our 
Audit 

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of 
controls  over  the  Company’s  revenue  recognition  for  nasal  naloxone  product  sales.  For 
example,  we  tested  controls  over  management’s  review  over  the  assumptions  used  in  the 
estimation  of  the  rebates  and  returns.  We  also  tested  management’s  controls  over  the 
completeness and accuracy of the data used in the underlying calculations. 

Description of 
the Matter 

To  test  revenue  recognized,  our  audit  procedures  included  the  following  primary  procedures, 
amongst  others.  We  estimated  the  rebates  and returns  accrual  using  the  Company’s historical 
data  as  well  as  externally  available  information  and  compared  the  result  to  the  Company’s 
estimated  rebates  and  returns  accrual.  We  evaluated  the  Company’s  ability  to  accurately 
estimate  the  accrual  for  rebates  by  comparing  historically  recorded  accruals  to  the  actual 
amount that was ultimately paid by the Company. 

Evaluation of Goodwill for impairment 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s goodwill balance was $218.2 million. As discussed 
in  Notes  2  and  5  of  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  goodwill  is  tested  annually  for 
impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company evaluated goodwill for impairment as of 
October  1,  2022  using  an  income  based  (discounted  cash  flows)  approach.  As a  result  of  the 
Company’s  annual  goodwill  impairment  test,  the  Company  recorded  a  $6.7  million  goodwill 
impairment  charge  related  to  the  CDMO  –  Services  reporting  unit  of  the  Services  reporting 
segment,  which  is  included  in  “Goodwill  impairment”  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of 
Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. 

Auditing management’s goodwill impairment tests involved a high degree of auditor judgment 
due to the significant estimation required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. In 
particular,  the  fair  value  estimate  for  certain  reporting  units  was  sensitive  to  significant 
assumptions  such as the determination  of guideline companies, discount rate, revenue growth 
rates  and  operating  margins  used  to  estimate  future  cash  flows,  which  are  affected  by 
expectations about future market or economic conditions. 

87 

 
 
How We 
Addressed the 
Matter in Our 
Audit 

We obtained an understanding,  evaluated  the design and tested the operating  effectiveness  of 
controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment evaluation process. For example, we tested 
controls  over  management’s  review  of  the  data  used  in  their  valuation  models  and  reviewed 
significant assumptions discussed above used in determining the reporting unit fair values. 

To  test  the  estimated  fair  value  of  the  Company’s  reporting  units,  with  the  assistance  of  our 
valuation  professionals,  our  audit  procedures  included,  among  others,  assessing  fair  value 
methodologies  and  testing  the  significant  assumptions  discussed  above.  We  compared  the 
significant  assumptions  used  by  management  to  current  industry  and  economic  trends,  the 
Company’s  historical  trends  with  consideration  given  to  changes  in  the  Company’s  business, 
customer base or product mix and other relevant factors. We assessed the historical accuracy of 
management’s  estimates  and  performed  sensitivity  analyses  of  significant  assumptions  to 
evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units that would result from changes in 
the assumptions. We also evaluated the reconciliation of the estimated aggregate fair value of 
the reporting units to the Company’s market capitalization.

1. Nature of the business and organization 

Organization and business 

Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (“Emergent,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a global life sciences 
company focused on providing innovative preparedness and response solutions addressing accidental, deliberate, 
and naturally occurring Public Health Threats (“PHTs”). The Company’s solutions include a product portfolio, a 
product development portfolio, and a contract development and manufacturing (“CDMO”) services portfolio. 

The Company is focused on the following five PHT categories: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear 
and  explosives  (“CBRNE”);  emerging  infectious  diseases  (“EID”);  travel  health;  emerging  health  crises;  and 
acute/emergency  care.  The  Company  has  a  product  portfolio  of  thirteen  products  (vaccines,  therapeutics,  and 
drug-device combination products). The revenue generated by the products comprises a substantial portion of the 
Company’s  revenue.  The  Company  has  one  product  candidate  that  is  procured  under  special  circumstances  by 
the  United  States  government  (“USG”),  although  it  is  not  approved  by  the  United  States  Food  and  Drug 
Administration (“FDA”). The Company structures the business with a focus on markets and customers. As such,

platforms. 

Asset Acquisition 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  acquired  from  Chimerix  (“the  Seller”)  the 
exclusive  worldwide  rights  to  brincidofovir,  including  TEMBEXA®  and  related  assets  (the  “Transaction”). 
TEMBEXA  is  an  oral  antiviral  medical  countermeasure  to  treat  smallpox  approved  by  the  FDA  in  June  2021. 
Under  the  terms  of  the  Asset  Purchase  Agreement  (the  “Purchase  Agreement”),  the  Company  paid 
$238.0  million  upon  closing  of  the  Transaction,  and  is  subject  to  potential  milestone  payments  of  up  to 
$124.0 million contingent on the potential exercise by the USG of procurement options. The closing payment and 
the milestone payments were based on the actual procurement value of the procurement contract (the “BARDA 
Contract”)  with  the  Biomedical  Advanced  Research  and  Development  Authority  (“BARDA”).  Each  milestone 
payment  is  associated  with  the  exercise  of  future  BARDA  procurement  options  of  TEMBEXA  following  the 
BARDA Contract base period. The Seller is also eligible to receive up to $12.5 million in regulatory milestones 

95 

associated with the SymBio Pharmaceuticals Ltd. brincidofovir licensing arrangements assumed by the Company 
in the Transaction. The milestone payments will be recorded when the associated procurement options have been 
exercised and/or the regulatory milestones have been met and the consideration is paid or becomes payable. The 
total  consideration  paid  in  the  Transaction  was  allocated  based  on  the  proportionate  fair  value  of  the  assets 
acquired.  We  recorded  $156.9  million  in  intangible  assets,  net  and  $82.3  million  in  inventories,  net  upon 
execution of the Transaction on our consolidate balance sheet. 

The Seller may also earn a 20% royalty on future gross profit of TEMBEXA in the United States associated 
with  volumes  above  1.7  million  treatment  courses  of  therapy  during  the  exclusivity  period  of  TEMBEXA. 
Outside of the United States, the Purchase Agreement also allows the Seller to earn a 15% royalty on all gross 
profit associated with TEMBEXA sales during the exclusivity period of TEMBEXA on a market-to-market basis. 
Refer  to  Note  5  “Intangible  assets  and  goodwill”  for  additional  information  around  the  impacts  of  this  asset 
acquisition on the current period results. 

2. Summary of significant accounting policies 

Basis of presentation and consolidation 

Our  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  conformity  with  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting  principles 
(“GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Emergent and its wholly 
owned  subsidiaries.  All  significant  inter-company  accounts  and  transactions  have  been  eliminated  in 
consolidation. Reclassifications of certain prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period 
presentation. 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  revised  the  reporting  that  the  chief  operating 
decision  maker  (“the  CODM”)  reviews  in  order  to  assess  Company  performance.  The  CODM  manages  the 
business with a focus on two reportable segments: (1) Products segment consisting of Government—MCM and 
Commercial products and (2) Services segment focused on CDMO services. 

Going Concern 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which 
assumes  the  Company  will  continue  to  operate  as  a  going  concern  and  which  contemplates  the  realization  of 
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  there  is  $598.0  million  outstanding  on  the  our  senior  revolving  credit  facility 
(“Revolving  Credit  Facility”)  and  $362.8  million  on  our  senior  term  loan  facility  (“Term  Loan  Facility”  and 
together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) that mature in October 2023, 
which is within one year of the date that the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 
2022 are issued. The Company determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue 
as  a  going  concern  within  one  year  after  the  date  that  the  financial  statements  are  issued  as  a  result  of  these 
pending maturities.  This evaluation  considered  the potential  mitigating  effect  of management’s  plans that have 
not been fully implemented. Management evaluated the mitigating effect of its plans to determine if it is probable 
that  (1)  the  plans  will  be  effectively  implemented  within  one  year  after  the  date  the  financial  statements  are 
issued, and (2) when implemented, the plans will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial 
doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan to alleviate the substantial 
doubt includes amending its existing Senior Secured Credit Facilities that are due October 2023. 

On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Consent, Limited Waiver, and Third Amendment to the 
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Third Credit Agreement Amendment”, “Credit Agreement” and 
as amended, the “Amended Credit Agreement”) relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Pursuant to the 
Third Credit Agreement Amendment, the requisite lenders consented to our sale of our travel health business to 

96 

Bavarian  Nordic  substantially  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Sale  Agreement.  The  proceeds  from  the 
transaction  will  be  deposited  into  a  cash  collateral  account  with  the  Administrative  Agent  and  will,  unless 
otherwise  agreed  to  by  the  Company  and  the  requisite  lenders,  be  used  to  repay  the  outstanding  Term  Loan 
Facility  on  the  expiration  of  the  Limited  Waiver  (as  described  below).  We  currently  expect  the  transaction  to 
close in the second quarter of 2023, but we can provide no assurance that the transaction will close prior to the 
October 2023 maturity of the Term Loan Facility, or at all. 

Pursuant to the Third Credit Agreement Amendment the requisite lenders have agreed to a limited waiver of 
any  defaults  or  events  of  default  that  result  from  (a)  any  violation  of  the  financial  covenants  set  forth  in  the 
Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  with  respect  to  the  fiscal  quarters  ending  December  31,  2022  and  March  31, 
2023 and (b) the going concern qualification  or exception contained in the audited financial  statements  for the 
fiscal  year  ending  December  31,  2022.  This  limited  waiver  will  expire  on  the  earlier  to  occur  of  (i)  any  other 
event of default and (ii) April 17, 2023. During this period the Company is working with lenders under the Senior 
Secured  Credit  Facilities  in  connection  with  replacing  such  facilities  before  their  October  2023  maturity  with 
revised terms and conditions. The Company does not expect to be in compliance with debt covenants in future 
periods without additional sources of liquidity or future amendments to the Credit Agreement. 

While the Company is in the process of replacing and expects to replace the Senior Secured Credit Facilities 
before they mature, management cannot conclude that it is probable that the Company will be able to obtain such 
debt refinancing on commercially reasonable terms or at all until a new credit facility is in place. The Company 
is  currently  working  with  its  lenders  to  refinance  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  with  revised  terms  and 
conditions.  The  extent  to  which  the  Company  will  be  able  to  affect  such  refinancing,  replacement  or  maturity 
extension  on  terms  that  are  favorable  or  at  all  is  dependent  on  a  number  of  uncertain  factors,  including  then-
prevailing  credit  and  other  market  conditions,  economic  conditions,  particularly  in  the  pharmaceutical  and 
biotechnology  industry,  disruptions  or  volatility  caused  by  factors  such  as  COVID-19,  regional  conflicts, 
inflation,  and  supply  chain  disruptions.  In  addition,  rising  interest  rates  could  limit  our  ability  to  refinance  the 
Senior Secured Credit Facilities when they mature or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing. 

The Company has $642.6 million of cash on hand at December 31, 2022. On January 9, 2023, the Company 
announced  the  2023  organizational  restructuring  Plan  (the  “Plan”)  intended  to  reduce  operating  costs,  improve 
operating margins, and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing commitment to profitable growth. The Plan 
includes a reduction of the Company’s current workforce by approximately five percent. 

Use of estimates 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions 
that affect reported amounts and disclosures for asset impairments, revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful 
accounts, inventory, depreciation and amortization, business combinations, contingent consideration, stock-based 
compensation,  income  taxes,  and  other  contingencies.  Management  continually  re-evaluates  its  estimates, 
judgments  and  assumptions.  These  estimates  are  sometimes  complex,  sensitive  to  changes  in  assumptions  and 
require  fair  value  determinations  using  Level  3  fair  value  measurements.  Actual  results  may  differ  materially 
from those estimates. 

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 

Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with a maturity of 90 days or less at the date of purchase and 
consist  of  time  deposits  and  investments  in  money  market  funds  with  commercial  banks  and  financial 
institutions.  Also,  the  Company  maintains  cash  balances  with  financial  institutions  in  excess  of  insured  limits. 
Restricted  cash  includes  cash  that  is  not  readily  available  for  use  in  the  Company’s  operating  activities. 
Restricted cash is primarily comprised of cash pledged under letters of credit. 

97 

Fair value measurements 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, 
an  exit  price,  in  the  principal  or  most  advantageous  market  for  the  asset  or  liability  in  an  orderly  transaction 
between  market  participants  on  the  measurement  date.  Valuation  techniques  used  to  measure  fair  value  must 
maximize  the  use  of  observable  inputs  and  minimize  the  use  of  unobservable  inputs.  The  three-tier  fair  value 
hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value include: 

 Level 1 —  Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities such as quoted prices in active markets; 

 Level 2 — 

Inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  that  are  either  directly  or  indirectly 
observable; and 

 Level 3 —  Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, which are therefore developed by 
the  Company  using  estimates  and  assumptions  that  reflect  those  that  a  market  participant 
would use. 

On a recurring basis, the Company measures and records money market funds (Level 1), interest-rate swap 
arrangements  and  time  deposits  (Level  2)  and  contingent  purchase  consideration  (Level  3)  using  fair  value 
measurements  in  the  accompanying  financial  statements.  The  carrying  amounts  of  the  Company’s  short-term 
financial  instruments,  which  include  cash  and  cash  equivalents,  accounts  receivable  and  accounts  payable 
approximate  their  fair  values  due  to  their  short  maturities.  The  carrying  amounts  of  the  Company’s  long-term 
variable interest rate debt arrangements (Level 2) approximate their fair values. 

Significant customers and accounts receivable 

Billed  accounts  receivable  are  stated  at  invoice  amounts  and  consist  of  amounts  due  from  the  USG, 
commercial  CDMO  customers,  as  well  as  amounts  due  under  reimbursement  contracts  with  other  government 
entities  and  non-government  organizations.  The  Company’s  branded  and  generic  opioid  overdose  reversal 
product is sold commercially through physician-directed or standing order prescriptions at retail pharmacies, as 
well  as  state  health  departments,  law  enforcement  agencies,  state  and  local  community  based  organizations, 
substance  abuse  centers  and  federal  agencies.  If  necessary,  the  Company  records  a  reserve  for  credit  losses  to 
allow for amounts which may be unrecoverable. This provision is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior 
collection  experience,  customer  creditworthiness  and  current  economic  trends.  Amounts  determined  to  be 
uncollectible  are  charged  or  written-off  against  the  reserve.  Unbilled  accounts  receivable  relates  to  various 
service contracts for which work has been performed and the Company has a right to bill but invoicing has not 
yet occurred. Contract assets include revenues recognized in advance of billings and the Company does not have 
a  right  to  invoice  the  customer  under  the  terms  of  the  contract.  The  Company  has  receivables  from  contracts 
containing  lease  components.  At  each  reporting  period,  the  Company  assesses  whether  it  is  probable  that  the 
Company  will  collect  all  future  lease  payments.  The  Company  considers  payment  history  and  current  credit 
status when assessing collectability. The Company does not adjust our receivables for the effects of a significant 
financing component at contract inception if we expect to collect the receivables in one year or less from the time 
of sale. 

Concentration Risk 

Customers 

The Company has long-term contracts with the USG that expire at various times from 2023 through 2036. 
The  Company  has  derived  a  significant  portion  of  its  revenue  from  sales  of  our  Government—MCM  products 
under contracts with the USG. The Company’s current USG contracts do not necessarily increase the likelihood 
that it will secure future comparable contracts with the USG. The Company expects that a significant portion of 
the business will continue to be under government contracts that present a number of risks that are not typically 
present in the commercial contracting process. USG contracts for ACAM2000 and Anthrax Vaccines and other 
medical countermeasures products are subject to unilateral termination or modification by the government. The 
Company may fail  to achieve significant  sales of its medical countermeasures  products, including ACAM2000 

98 

and Anthrax Vaccines to customers in addition to the USG, which would harm their growth opportunities. The 
Company’s  other  product  sales,  largely  Nasal  Naloxone  Products,  are  largely  sold  commercially  through 
physician-directed  or  standing  order  prescriptions  at  retail  pharmacies,  as  well  as  to  state  health  departments, 
local  law  enforcement  agencies,  community-based  organizations,  substance  abuse  centers  and  other  federal 
agencies.  In  2022,  we  filed  our  supplemental  New  Drug  Application  for  NARCAN®  (naloxone  HCl)  Nasal 
Spray, as an over-the-counter emergency treatment which if approved would further broaden our customer base. 
Our  CDMO  customers  are  generally  third-party  pharmaceutical  companies.  Refer  to  Footnote  11,  “Revenue 
recognition” for more information regarding significant customers. 

Although the Company seeks to expand its customer  base and to renew its agreements  with its customers 
prior  to  expiration  of  a  contract,  a  delay  in  securing  a  renewal  or  a  failure  to  secure  a  renewal  or  securing  a 
renewal  on  less  favorable  terms  may  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on the  Company’s  financial  condition  and 
results of operations. 

The  Company’s  accounts  receivable  do  not  represent  a  significant  concentration  of  credit  risk.  The  USG 
accounted for approximately  43%, 50% and 64% of total revenues for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The 
Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, consist primarily of amounts due from the 
USG  or  other  large  multinational  highly  reputable  customers  for  product  sales,  CDMO  services  or  from 
government agencies under government grants. Management does not deem credit risk to be significant. 

Financial Institutions 

Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several financial institutions. The Company has deposits held 
with  banks  that  exceed  the  amount  of  insurance  provided  on  such  deposits.  Generally,  these  deposits  may  be 
redeemed  upon  demand  and  are  maintained  with  financial  institutions  of  reputable  credit  and,  therefore,  bear 
minimal credit risk. 

Lender Counterparties 

There  is  lender  counterparty  risk  associated  with  the  Company’s  revolving  credit  facility  and  derivatives 
instruments. There is risk that the Company’s revolving credit facility investors and derivative counterparties will 
not be available to fund as obligated. If funding under the revolving credit facility is unavailable, the Company 
may have to acquire a replacement credit facility from different counterparties at a higher cost or may be unable 
to  find  a  suitable  replacement.  The  Company  seeks  to  manage  risks  from  its  revolving  credit  facility  and 
derivative instruments by contracting with experienced large 

financial  institutions  and  monitoring  the  credit  quality  of  its  lenders.  As  of  December  31,  2022,  the  Company 
does not anticipate nonperformance by any of its counterparties. 

Inventories, net 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined using a standard 
cost  method,  which  approximates  average  cost.  Average  cost  consists  primarily  of  material,  labor  and 
manufacturing  overhead  expenses  (including  fixed  production-overhead  costs)  and  includes  the  services  and 
products of third-party  suppliers.  The Company analyzes  its inventory levels quarterly and writes down, in the 
applicable period, inventory that has become obsolete, inventory that has a cost basis in excess of its expected net 
realizable  value  and  inventory  in  excess  of  expected  customer  demand.  The  Company  also  writes  off,  in  the 
applicable  period,  the  costs  related  to  short-dated,  contaminated  or  expired  inventory.  Costs  of  purchased 
inventories  are  recorded  using  weighted-average  costing.  The  Company  determines  normal  capacity  for  each 
production facility and allocates fixed production-overhead costs on that basis. 

The Company records inventory acquired in business combinations utilizing the comparative sales method, 
which estimates the expected sales price reduced for all costs expected to be incurred to complete/dispose of the 
inventory with a profit on those costs. 

99 

Property, plant and equipment, net 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairments. subject to 
reviews  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  the 
asset may not be recoverable. The cost of normal, recurring or periodic repairs and maintenance activities related 
to  property,  plant  and  equipment  are  expensed  as  incurred.  The  cost  for  planned  major  maintenance  activities, 
including  the  related  acquisition  or  construction  of  assets,  is  capitalized  if  the  repair  will  result  in  future 
economic benefits. 

Interest costs incurred during the construction of major capital projects are capitalized until the underlying 
asset is ready for its intended use, at which point the interest costs are amortized as depreciation expense over the 
life of the underlying asset. 

The Company capitalizes internal-use software when both (a) the software is internally developed, acquired, 
or modified solely to meet the entity’s internal needs and (b) during the software’s development or modification, 
no  substantive  plan  either  exists  or  is  being  developed  to  market  the  software  externally.  Capitalization  of 
qualifying internal-use software costs begins when the preliminary project stage is completed, management with 
the relevant authority, implicitly or explicitly, authorizes and commits to the funding of the software project, and 
it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. 

The  Company  generally  depreciates  or  amortizes  the  cost  of  its  property,  plant  and  equipment  using  the 

straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which are summarized as follows: 

Land 
Buildings 
Building improvements 
Furniture and equipment 
Software 
Leasehold improvements 

Not depreciated 
31-39 years 
10-39 years 
3-15 years 
3-7 years 
Lesser of the asset life or lease term 

Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed 
from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to operations. Repairs and maintenance 
costs are expensed as incurred. 

The  Company  determines  the  fair  value  of  the  property,  plant  and  equipment  acquired  in  a  business 
combination utilizing either the cost approach or the sales comparison approach. The cost approach is determined 
by establishing replacement cost of the asset and then subtracting any value that has been lost due to economic 
obsolescence, functional obsolescence, or physical deterioration.  The sales comparison approach determines an 
asset is equal to the market price of an asset of comparable features such as design, location, size, construction, 
materials, use, capacity, specification, operational characteristics and other features or descriptions. 

Income taxes 

Income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset 
and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to 
differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax 
basis and net operating loss and research and development (“R&D”) tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets 
and  liabilities  are  measured  using  enacted  tax  rates  expected  to  apply  to  taxable  income  in  the  year  in  which 
those  temporary  differences  are  expected  to  be  recovered  or  settled.  Valuation  allowances  are  recorded  as 
appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered likely to be realized. 

Deferred income tax effects of transactions reported in different periods for financial reporting and income 
tax  return  purposes  are  recognized  under  the  asset  and  liability  method  of  accounting  for  income  taxes.  This 

100 

method  gives  consideration  to  the  future  tax  consequences  of  the  deferred  income  tax  items  and  immediately 
recognizes changes in income tax laws in the year of enactment. 

The  Company’s  ability  to  realize  deferred  tax  assets  depends  upon  future  taxable  income  as  well  as  the 
limitations discussed below. For financial reporting purposes, a deferred tax asset must be reduced by a valuation 
allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized prior 
to expiration. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the 
need  for  valuation  allowances.  In  general,  if  the  Company  determines  that  it  is  more  likely  than  not  to  realize 
more than the recorded amounts of net deferred tax assets in the future, the Company will reverse all or a portion 
of the valuation allowance established against its deferred tax assets, resulting in a decrease to income taxes in 
the  period  in  which  the  determination  is  made.  Likewise,  if  the  Company  determines  that  it  is  not  more  likely 
than not to realize all or part of the net deferred tax asset in the future, the Company will establish a valuation 
allowance  against  deferred  tax  assets,  with  an  offsetting  increase  to  income  taxes,  in  the  period  in  which  the 
determination is made. 

Under sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, if an ownership change occurs with respect to a 
“loss  corporation”,  as  defined  therein,  there  are  annual  limitations  on  the  amount  of  net  operating  losses  and 
deductions  that  are  available.  The  Company  has  recognized  the  portion  of  net  operating  losses  and  R&D  tax 
credits acquired that will not be limited and are more likely than not to be realized. 

Because tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations, significant judgment is required. As a 
result,  the  Company  makes  certain  estimates  and  assumptions,  in  (1)  calculating  the  Company’s  income  tax 
expense, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, (2) determining any valuation allowance recorded against 
deferred  tax  assets  and  (3)  evaluating  the  amount  of  unrecognized  tax  benefits,  as  well  as  the  interest  and 
penalties related to such uncertain tax positions. The Company’s estimates and assumptions may differ from tax 
benefits ultimately realized. 

Asset Impairment Analysis 

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets 

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the identifiable tangible 
and intangible net assets when accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized 
but is reviewed for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the Company’s reporting units, which are components of 
our  business  for  which  discrete  cash  flow  information  is  available  one  level  below  its  operating  segment.  The 
Company evaluates goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1 
and at interim if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not recover the carrying value of the asset. 
If the Company believes that as a result of its qualitative assessment it is more likely than not that the fair value 
of a reporting unit or other indefinite-lived  intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, the quantitative 
impairment test is not required. If however it is determined that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of 
a reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangible asset is greater than its carrying amount, a quantitative test is 
required. 

The quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed using a one-step process. The process is to compare 
the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying 
amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair 
value, goodwill of the reporting unit is impaired and an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that 
excess up to the total amount of goodwill included in the reporting unit. 

When the Company has material  indefinite  lived intangible  assets associated with in-process research and 
development (“IPR&D”) a qualitative assessment is performed. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is 
not more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying amount, the 

101 

Company compares the estimated fair value of the intangible with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the 
intangible  asset  exceeds  its  fair  value,  an  impairment  loss  is  recognized  in  an  amount  equal  to  that  excess. 
Determining fair value requires the exercise of judgment about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates 
and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows (see Note 5, “Intangible assets and goodwill). 

Long-lived Assets 

Long-lived assets such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are not required to be tested 
for  impairment  annually.  Instead,  they  are  tested  for  impairment  whenever  circumstances  indicate  that  the 
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, such as when the disposal of such assets is likely or there is 
an adverse change in the market involving the business employing the related assets. If an impairment analysis is 
required,  the  impairment  test  employed  is  based  on  whether  the  Company’s  intent  is  to  hold  the  asset  for 
continued use or to hold the asset for sale. If the intent is to hold the asset for continued use, the impairment test 
first requires a comparison of undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying 
value  of  the  asset  exceeds  the  undiscounted  cash  flows,  the  asset  would  not  be  deemed  to  be  recoverable. 
Impairment would then be measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. Fair value is 
typically  determined  by discounting the future cash flows associated with that asset. If the intent is to hold the 
asset for sale and certain other criteria are met, the impairment test involves comparing the asset’s carrying value 
to its fair value less costs to sell. To the extent the carrying value is greater than the asset’s fair value less costs to 
sell, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference. Significant judgments used for long-
lived asset impairment assessments include identifying the appropriate asset groupings and primary assets within 
those groupings, determining whether events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may 
not  be  recoverable,  determining  the  future  cash  flows  for  the  assets  involved  and  assumptions  applied  in 
determining fair value, which include, reasonable discount rates, growth rates, market risk premiums and other 
assumptions about the economic environment. 

Contingent Consideration 

In  connection  with  the  Company’s  acquisitions  accounted  for  as  business  combinations,  the  Company 
records contingent consideration  associated with sales-based royalties, sales-based milestones and development 
and regulatory milestones at fair value. The fair value model used to calculate these obligations is based on the 
income  approach  (a  discounted  cash  flow  model)  that  has  been  risk  adjusted  based  on  the  probability  of 
achievement of net sales and achievement of the milestones. The inputs the Company uses for determining the 
fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  associated  with  sales-based  royalties,  sales-based  milestones  and 
development and regulatory milestones are Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company re-evaluates the fair 
value on a quarterly basis. Changes in the fair value can result from adjustments to the discount rates and updates 
in  the  assumed  timing  of  or  achievement  of  net  sales  and/or  the  achievement  of  development  and  regulatory 
milestones.  Any  future  increase  or  decrease  in  the  fair  value  of  the  contingent  consideration  associated  with 
sales-based royalties and sales-based milestones along with development and regulatory milestones are based on 
an assessment of the likelihood that the underlying net sales or milestones will be achieved. 

The associated payments which will become due and payable for sales-based royalties and milestones result 
in  a  charge  to  cost  of  product  sales  in  the  period  in  which  the  increase  is  determined.  Similarly,  any  future 
decrease  in  the  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration  associated  with  sales-based  royalties  and  sales-based 
milestones will result in a reduction in cost of product sales. The changes in fair value for potential future sales-
based royalties associated with product candidates in development will result in a charge to cost of product sales 
in the period in which the increase is determined. 

The Company’s acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions may also include contingent consideration 
payments  to  be  made  for  sales-based  royalties,  sales-based  milestones  and  development  and  regulatory 
milestones.  The  Company  assesses  whether  such  contingent  consideration  meets  the  definition  of  a  derivative. 
Contingent  consideration  payments  in  an  asset  acquisition  not  required  to  be  accounted  for  as  derivatives  are 

102 

recognized  when  the  contingency  is  resolved,  and  the  consideration  is  paid  or  becomes  payable.  Contingent 
consideration payments required to be accounted for as derivatives are recorded at fair value on the date of the 
acquisition and are subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. 

Leases 

The Company  has  operating  leases  for  corporate  offices,  R&D facilities  and manufacturing  facilities.  The 
Company  determines  if  an  arrangement  is  a  lease  at  inception.  Operating  leases  with  future  minimum  lease 
payments in excess of 12 months and total lease payments greater than $0.4 million are included in right-of-use 
(ROU)  assets  and  liabilities.  The  Company  has  elected  to  record  expense  on  a  cash  basis  for  leases  with 
minimum lease payments of 12 months or less and/or total lease payments less $0.4 million. 

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities 
represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets 
and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease 
term.  As  most  of  the  Company’s  leases  do  not  provide  an  implicit  rate,  the  Company  uses  an  incremental 
borrowing  rate  based  on  the  information  available  at  commencement  date  in  determining  the  present  value  of 
lease payments. The Company uses an implicit rate when readily determinable. At the beginning of a lease, the 
operating lease ROU asset also includes any concentrated lease payments expected to be paid and excludes lease 
incentives.  The  Company’s  lease  ROU  asset  may  include  options  to  extend  or  terminate  the  lease  when  it  is 
reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options. 

Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company 

has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately. 

Revenue recognition 

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  when  the  Company’s  customers  obtain  control  of  promised  goods  or 
services,  in  an  amount  that  reflects  the  consideration  which  the  Company  expects  to  receive  in  exchange  for 
those  goods  or  services  by  analyzing  the  following  five  steps:  (1)  identify  the  contract  with  a  customer(s);  (2) 
identify  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  (3)  determine  the  transaction  price;  (4)  allocate  the 
transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity 
satisfies a performance obligation. 

Multiple performance obligations 

At contract inception, the Company assesses the products or services promised in a contract and identifies a 
performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a product or service that is distinct, including 
evaluating  whether  the  contract  includes  a  customer  option  for  additional  goods  or  services  which  could 
represent  a  material  right.  A  performance  obligation  is  a  promise  in  a  contract  to  transfer  a  distinct  product  or 
service  to  a  customer  and  is  the  unit  of  account  under  ASC  606.  Contracts  sometimes  include  more  than  one 
product, a lease, or options for customers to purchase additional products or services in the future for free or at a 
discount,  which  gives  rise  to  separate  performance  obligations.  For  contracts  with  multiple  performance 
obligations,  the  Company  allocates  the  contract  price  to  each  performance  obligation  on  a  relative  standalone 
selling price basis using the Company’s best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or 
service  in  the  contract.  The  primary  method  used  to  estimate  standalone  selling  price  is  the  price  observed  in 
standalone sales to customers, however when prices in standalone sales are not available the Company may use 
third-party  pricing  for  similar  products  or  services  or  estimate  the  standalone  selling  price.  Allocation  of  the 
transaction price is determined at the contracts’ inception. 

103 

Transaction price and variable consideration 

Once  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract  have  been  identified,  the  Company  estimates  the 
transaction price of the contract. The estimate includes amounts that are fixed as well as those that can vary based 
on expected outcomes of the activities or contractual terms. The Company’s variable consideration includes net 
profit received from sales of the Company’s generic Nasal naloxone product, certain products sold on a net basis, 
cost-plus-fee  contract  terms  and  consideration  transferred  under  its  development  contracts  as  consideration 
received  can vary based on developmental progression of the product candidate. When a contract’s transaction 
price includes variable consideration, the Company evaluates the variable consideration to determine whether the 
estimate  needs to be constrained;  therefore,  the Company includes the variable consideration  in the transaction 
price  only  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  a  significant  reversal  of  the  amount  of  cumulative  revenue 
recognized  will  not  occur  when  the  uncertainty  associated  with  the  variable  consideration  is  subsequently 
resolved.  Variable  consideration  estimates  are  updated  at  each  reporting  date.  There  were  no  significant 
constraints or material changes to the Company’s variable consideration estimates as of or during the year ended 
December 31, 2022. 

Product sales 

For our product sales, we recognize revenue at a point in time when the Company’s performance obligations 
have been satisfied  and control of the products transfer  to the customer.  To indicate  the transfer  of control the 
Company  will  have  a  present  right  to  payment,  legal  title  must  have  passed  to  the  customer,  and the  customer 
must  have  the  significant  risks  and  rewards  of  ownership.  This  point  in  time  depends  on  several  factors, 
including  delivery,  transfer  of  legal  title,  transition  of  risk  and  rewards  of  the  product  to  the  customer  and  the 
Company’s right to payment. 

The  Company’s  contracts  for  the  sale  of  the  Company’s  Government—MCM  products  include  certain 
acceptance criteria before title passes to the customer. The primary customer for the Company’s Government—
MCM products and the primary source of funding for the development of its MCM product candidate portfolio is 
the USG. The USG contracts  for the sale of the Company’s Government—MCM products are normally multi-
year contracts with annual options. 

For  the  Company’s  commercial  products,  upon  transfer  of  control  of  the  goods  the  Company  reflects 
estimates  of  the  consideration  that  the  Company  expects.  Prior  to  recognizing  revenue,  the  Company  makes 
estimates  of  the  transaction  price,  including  variable  consideration  that  is  subject  to  a  constraint.  Estimates  of 
variable consideration include allowances for returns, specialty distributor fees, wholesaler fees, prompt payment 
discounts, government rebates, chargebacks and rebates under managed care plans. 

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative 
revenue  recognized  will  not  occur  when  the  uncertainty  associated  with  such  variable  consideration  is 
subsequently resolved. Provisions for variable consideration revenues from sales of products are recorded at the 
net  sales  price.  Calculating  certain  of  these  provisions  involves  estimates  and  judgments  and  the  Company 
determines their expected value based on sales or invoice data, contractual terms, historical utilization rates, new 
information regarding changes in these programs’ regulations and guidelines that would impact the amount of the 
actual  rebates,  the  Company’s  expectations  regarding  future  utilization  rates  for  these  programs  and  channel 
inventory data. These provisions reflect the Company’s best estimate of the amount of consideration to which the 
Company is entitled based on the terms of the contract. The Company reassesses the Company’s provisions for 
variable consideration at each reporting date. 

CDMO services 

The Company performs CDMO services for third parties. Under these contracts, activities can include drug 
substance  and  drug  product  manufacturing  services  for  injectable  and  other  sterile  products,  and  development 
services  such  as  pharmaceutical  product  process  development,  process  design, 
transfer, 
manufacturing  validations,  laboratory  analytical  development  support,  aseptic  filling,  lyophilization,  final 

technology 

104 

packaging,  stability  studies,  and  suite-reservations.  These  contracts  vary  in  duration,  activities,  and  number  of 
performance  obligations.  Performance  obligations  identified  under  these  arrangements  may  include  drug 
substance and/or drug product manufacturing, technology transfer activities, and suite-reservations. 

Drug  substance,  drug  product  manufacturing,  development  services  and  technology  transfer  performance 
obligations  are  recognized  as  revenue  over-time  because  the  Company’s  performance  does  not  create  an  asset 
with an alternative use and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed as work 
is performed. In drug product arrangements, the customer typically owns and supplies the active pharmaceutical 
ingredient  (API),  that  is  used  in  the  manufacturing  process;  in  drug  substance  arrangements,  the  customer 
provides certain seed material that is used in the manufacturing process. The transaction price generally contains 
both a fixed and variable  component.  The fixed component is stated in the agreement as a fixed price per unit 
with no contractual provision for a refund or price concession and the variable component generally results from 
pass-through costs that are billed at cost-plus over the life of the contract. The Company uses an input method to 
measure  progress  toward  the  satisfaction  of  the  related  performance  obligations  based  on  costs  incurred  as  a 
percentage of total costs to complete which the Company believes best depicts the transfer of control of goods or 
services promised to its customers. 

Suite  reservations  are  classified  as  leases  when  the  customer  directs  the  use  of  the  identified  suite  and 
obtains substantially all the economic benefits from the manufacturing capacity. If a customer reserves more than 
one  suite,  the  allocation  of  contract  value  is  based  on  relative  selling  price  which  varies  due  to  size,  location, 
capacity, production capability for drug product or drug substance, and the time of planned use. The associated 
revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of performance. For arrangements that contain both 
lease and non-lease components, consideration in the contract is allocated on a relative standalone selling price 
basis. 

The  Company’s  CDMO  customer  contracts  generally  include  provisions  entitling  the  Company  to  a 
termination  penalty  when  the  contract  is  terminated  prior  to  the  contract’s  nominal  end  date.  The  termination 
penalties  in  the  customer  contracts  vary  but  are  generally  considered  substantive  for  accounting  purposes  and 
create enforceable rights and obligations throughout the stated duration of the contract. The Company accounts 
for  a  contract  cancellation  as  a  contract  modification.  The  determination  of  the  contract  termination  penalty  is 
based on the terms stated in the related customer agreement. As of the modification date, the Company updates 
its  estimate  of  the  transaction  price,  subject  to  constraints,  and  recognizes  the  amount  over  the  remaining 
performance period or measure of progress under the arrangement. 

For contracts that contain lease components, the Company assesses the collectability of the lease payments. 
If the collectability of the lease payments is probable, the Company recognizes lease income over the term of the 
lease on a straight-line basis. If collectability is not deemed probable at any time during the term of the lease, the 
Company’s  lease  income  is  limited  to  the  lesser  of  (i)  the  lease  payments  that  have  been  collected  from  the 
lessee, or the straight-line recognition of the contract value. If the collectability assessment changes to probable 
after  the  Company  has  determined  collectability  is  not  deemed  probable,  any  difference  between  the  lease 
income  that  would  have  been  recognized  if  collectability  had  always  been  assessed  as  probable  and  the  lease 
income  recognized  to  date  is  recognized  as  a  current-period  adjustment  to  lease  income.  Changes  to  the 
collectability  of operating  leases are recorded as adjustments  to lease income in the consolidated  statements  of 
operations in the period that they occur. 

Contracts and grants 

The Company generates contract and grant revenue primarily  from cost-plus-fee  contracts  associated  with 
development  of  certain  product  candidates.  Revenues  from  reimbursable  contracts  are  recognized  as  costs  are 
incurred, generally  based on allowable costs incurred during the period, plus any recognizable  earned fee. The 
Company  uses  this  input  method  to  measure  progress  as  the  customer  has  access  to  the  development  research 

105 

under  these  projects  and  benefits  incrementally  as  R&D  activities  occur.  When  applicable,  the  Company 
considers  fixed  fees  under  cost-plus-fee  contracts  to  be  earned  in  proportion  to  the  allowable  costs  incurred  in 
performance of the contract, the cost-to-cost measure of progress. The Company analyzes costs for contracts and 
reimbursable  grants to ensure reporting  of revenues gross versus net is appropriate.  The USG contracts for the 
development of the Company’s MCM product candidates are normally multi-year contracts. 

Research and development 

The Company expenses R&D costs as incurred. The Company’s R&D expenses consist primarily of: 

•

•

•

•

personnel-related expenses; 

fees  to  professional  service  providers  for,  among  other  things,  analytical  testing,  independent 
monitoring or other administration of the Company’s clinical trials and obtaining and evaluating data 
from the Company’s clinical trials and non-clinical studies; 

costs of CDMO services for clinical trial material; and 

costs of materials intended for use and used in clinical trials and R&D. 

Comprehensive income (loss) 

Comprehensive  income  (loss)  is  comprised  of  net  income  (loss)  and  other  changes  in  equity  that  are 
excluded from net income (loss). The Company includes translation gains and losses incurred when converting 
its  subsidiaries’  financial  statements  from  their  functional  currency  to  the  U.S.  dollar  in  accumulated  other 
comprehensive  income  (loss)  as  well  as  gains  and  losses  on  its  pension  benefit  obligation  and  derivative 
instruments. 

Translation and Remeasurement of Foreign Currencies 

For  our  non-U.S.  subsidiaries  that  transact  in  a  functional  currency  other  than  the  U.S.  dollar,  assets  and 
liabilities  are  translated  at  current  rates  of  exchange  at  the  balance  sheet  date.  Income  and  expense  items  are 
translated  at  the  average  foreign  currency  exchange  rates  for  the  period.  Adjustments  resulting  from  the 
translation  of  the  financial  statements  of  our  foreign  operations  into  U.S.  dollars  are  excluded  from  the 
determination  of  net  income  (loss)  and  are  recorded  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss),  a 
separate component of equity. For subsidiaries  where the functional  currency of the assets and liabilities  differ 
from the local currency, non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the rate of exchange in effect on 
the date assets were acquired while monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at current rates of exchange as 
of the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are remeasured at the average foreign currency rates for the 
period.  Remeasurement  adjustments  of  these  subsidiaries  are  included  in  other  income  (expense),  net  in  our 
consolidated statements of operations. 

Net income (loss) per common share 

Basic  net  income  (loss)  per  common  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  (loss)  by  the  weighted 
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common 
share is computed using the treasury method by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of 
shares of common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for the potential dilutive effect of other securities 
if such securities were converted or exercised and are not anti-dilutive. 

Treasury stock 

When stock is acquired for purposes other than formal or constructive retirement, the purchase price of the 
acquired  stock  is  recorded  in  a  separate  treasury  stock  account,  which  is  separately  reported  as  a  reduction  of 
equity. 

106 

When  stock  is  retired  or  purchased  for  formal  or  constructive  retirement,  the  purchase  price  is  initially 
recorded as a reduction to the par value of the shares repurchased, with any excess purchase price over par value 
recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital related to the series of shares repurchased and any remainder 
excess  purchase  price  recorded  as  a  reduction  to  retained  earnings.  If  the  purchase  price  exceeds  the  amounts 
allocated  to  par  value  and  additional  paid-in  capital  related  to  the  series  of  shares  repurchased  and  retained 
earnings, the remainder is allocated to additional paid-in capital related to other series of shares. 

To determine the cost of treasury stock that is either sold or reissued, the Company uses the last in, first out 
method. If the proceeds from the re-issuance of treasury stock are greater than the cost, the excess is recorded as 
additional paid-in capital. If the proceeds from re-issuance of treasury stock are less than the cost, the excess cost 
first  reduces  any  additional  paid-in  capital  arising  from  previous  treasury  stock  transactions  for  that  class  of 
stock, and any additional excess is recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. 

Accounting for stock-based compensation 

The  Company  has  one  stock-based  employee  compensation  plan,  the  Fourth  Amended  and  Restated 
Emergent  BioSolutions  Inc.  2006  Stock  Incentive  Plan  (the  “Emergent  Plan”)  under  which  the  Company  may 
grant various types of equity awards including stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units. 
For all of our share-based awards, the Company recognizes forfeitures and compensation costs when they occur. 

The  terms  and  conditions  of  equity  awards  (such  as  price,  vesting  schedule,  term  and  number  of  shares) 
under  the  Emergent  Plan  is  determined  by  the  compensation  committee  of  the  Company’s  board  of  directors, 
which administers the Emergent Plan. Each equity award granted under the Emergent Plan vests as specified in 
the relevant agreement with the award recipient and no option can be exercised after seven years from the date of 
grant.  The  Company  records  the  estimated  fair  value  of  awards  in  expense  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the 
requisite  service  period,  which  is  generally  the  vesting  period.  Where  awards  are  made  with  non-substantive 
vesting  periods  (for  instance,  where  a  portion  of  the  award  vests  upon  retirement  eligibility),  the  Company 
estimates  and  recognizes  expense  based  on  the  period  from  the  grant  date  to  the  date  the  employee  becomes 
retirement eligible. 

The  Company  determines  the  fair  value  of  restricted  stock  units  using  the  closing  market  price  of  the 
Company’s common stock on the day prior to the date of grant. The Company’s performance stock units settle in 
the Company’s stock. The fair value is determined on the date of the grant using the number of shares expected 
to be earned and the ending market value of the stock on the day prior to the grant date. The number of shares 
expected to vest is adjusted each reporting period by assessing the probability that the performance criteria will 
be met and the associated targeted payout level that is forecasted will be achieved. 

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of all stock options 
granted. Set forth below is a discussion of the Company’s methodology for developing each of the assumptions 
used: 

• Expected dividend yield — the Company does not pay regular dividends on its common stock and does 

not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. 

• Expected volatility — a measure of the amount by which a financial variable, such as share price, has 
fluctuated  (historical  volatility)  or  is  expected  to  fluctuate  (implied  volatility)  during  a  period.  The 
Company analyzed its own historical volatility to estimate expected volatility over the same period as 
the expected average life of the options. 

• Risk-free interest rate — the range of U.S. Treasury rates with a term that most closely resembles the 

expected life of the option as of the date on which the option is granted. 

• Expected  average  life  of  options  —  the  period  of  time  that  options  granted  are  expected  to  remain 
outstanding, based primarily on the Company’s expectation of option exercise behavior subsequent to 
vesting of options. 

107 

Pension plans 

The Company maintains defined benefit plans for employees in certain countries outside the U.S., including 
retirement benefit plans required by applicable local law. The plans are valued by independent actuaries using the 
projected  unit  credit  method.  The  liabilities  correspond  to  the  projected  benefit  obligations  of  which  the 
discounted net present value is calculated based on years of employment, expected salary increase, and pension 
adjustments. The Company reviews its actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and makes modifications to the 
assumptions  based  on  current  rates  and  trends.  Actuarial  gains  and  losses  are  deferred  in  accumulated  other 
comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and are amortized over the remaining service attribution periods of the 
employees under the corridor method. Differences between the expected long-term return on plan assets and the 
actual annual return are amortized to net periodic benefit cost over the estimated remaining life as a component 
of selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. 

Derivative instruments and hedging activities 

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. 
The  Company  principally  manages  its  exposures  to  a  wide  variety  of  business  and  operational  risks  through 
management  of  its  core  business  activities.  The  Company  manages  economic  risks,  including  interest  rate, 
liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and 
the  use  of  derivative  financial  instruments.  Specifically,  the  Company  has  entered  into  interest  rate  swaps  to 
manage exposures that arise from the Company’s payments of variable interest rate debt under its senior secured 
credit agreements. 

The  Company’s  interest  rate  swaps  qualify  for  hedge  accounting  as  cash  flow  hedges.  All  derivatives  are 
recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Hedge accounting provides for the matching of the timing of gain or 
loss  recognition  on  these  interest  rate  swaps  with  the  recognition  of  the  changes  in  interest  expense  on  the 
Company’s variable rate debt. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss 
on  the  derivative  is  recorded  in  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  (loss)  and  subsequently  reclassified 
into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported 
in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense 
as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. The cash flows from the designated interest 
rate swaps are classified as a component of operating cash flows, similar to interest expense. 

The valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including 
discounted  cash  flow  analysis  on  the  expected  cash  flows  of  each  interest  rate  swap. This  analysis  reflects  the 
contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based 
inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined 
using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the 
discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on 
an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To 
comply  with  the  provisions  of  ASC  820,  Fair  Value  Measurement,  the  Company  incorporates  credit  valuation 
adjustments  in  the  fair  value  measurements  to  appropriately  reflect  both  its  own  nonperformance  risk  and  the 
respective  counterparty’s  nonperformance  risk.  These  credit  valuation  adjustments  were  concluded  to  not  be 
significant  inputs  for  the  fair  value  calculations  for  the  periods  presented.  In  adjusting  the  fair  value  of  the 
Company’s derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, it has considered the impact of netting and 
any applicable credit enhancements, such as the posting of collateral, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. The 
valuation of interest rate swaps fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7, “Derivative instruments” 
for further details on the interest rate swaps.

New Accounting Standards 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards 

Accounting  Standards  Update  (“ASU”)  2020-04  (ASU  2020-04),  Reference  Rate  Reform  (Topic  848): 

Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting 

In  March  2020,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  ASU  2020-04,  which  was  further 
amended in January 2021. ASU 2020-04 provides relief for impacted areas as it relates to impending reference 
rate  reform.  It  contains  optional  expedients  and  exceptions  to  debt  arrangements,  contracts,  hedging 
relationships,  and  other  areas  or  transactions  that  are  impacted  by  reference  rate  reform.  This  guidance  is 
effective  upon  issuance  for  all  entities  and  elections  of  certain  optional  expedients  are  required  to  apply  the 
provisions of the guidance. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 during the year ended December 31, 2022 with 
no material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

(1)  Amounts  for  the  Company’s  Products  segment  include  gross  carrying  values  of  $259.9  million  as  of 
December 31, 2022 and 2021, and $260.0 million as of December 31, 2020, and accumulated impairment 
losses  of  $41.7  million  representing  the  aggregate  impairment  charges  for  the  years  ended  December  31, 
2022, 2021 and 2020. 

(2)  Amounts  for  the  Company’s  Services  segment  include  gross  carrying  values  of  $6.7  million  as  of 
December  31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, and accumulated  impairment  losses of $6.7 million  representing  the 
aggregate impairment charges for the year ended December 31, 2022. 

As a result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2022 the Company recorded a 
$6.7  million  non-cash  goodwill  impairment  charge  included  in  “Goodwill  impairment”  in  the  Statements  of 
Operations during the year ended December 31, 2022 in the CDMO—Services reporting unit within the Services 
segment.  The  CDMO—Services  reporting  unit  and Services  segment  had no remaining  goodwill  balance  as  of 
December 31, 2022. The goodwill impairment charge resulted from a reduction in the estimated fair value of the 
CDMO-Services reporting unit due to changes to the long-term operating plan that reflected lower expectations 
for growth and profitability than previous expectations. The Company used a quantitative assessment, utilizing a 
income based (discounted cash flows) approach, Level 3 non-recurring fair value measurement, for our goodwill 
impairment  testing  for  all  of  our  reporting  units  in  2022.  Outside  of  our  CDMO—Services  reporting  unit,  the 
assessments  completed  for  all  other  reporting  units  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022  indicated  no 
impairment. 

On October 1, 2021, the Company reorganized its lines of business resulting in a change in the composition 
of two of its reporting units and performed its annual impairment testing using quantitative tests to determine fair 
values  of  the  reporting  units  both  before  and  after  the  reorganization  of  the  lines  of  business  and  its  reporting 
units.  Using  both  a  market  based  (comparable  company  multiple)  and  income  based  (discounted  cash  flows) 
approach,  each  a  Level  3  non-recurring  fair  value  measurement,  the  Company  determined  that  there  was  a 
goodwill impairment of $41.7 million included in “Goodwill impairment” in the Statements of Operations in the 
Commercial  products  reporting  unit  within  our  Products  segment.  The  Company  used  a  qualitative  assessment 
for our goodwill impairment testing for all other reporting units in 2021. The assessments completed for all other 
reporting units during the year ended December 31, 2021 indicated no impairment.

Contingent consideration liabilities associated with business combinations are measured at fair value. These 
liabilities  represent  an  obligation  of  the  Company  to  transfer  additional  assets  to  the  selling  shareholders  and 
owners if future events occur or conditions are met. These liabilities associated with business combinations are 
measured  at  fair  value  at  inception  and  at  each  subsequent  reporting  date.  The  changes  in  the  fair  value  are 
primarily  due  to  the  expected  amount  and  timing  of  future  net  sales,  which  are  inputs  that  have  no observable 
market. Any changes in fair value for the contingent consideration liabilities related to the Company’s products 
are classified in the Company’s statement of operations as cost of product sales. Any changes in fair value for the 
contingent consideration liabilities related to the Company’s product candidates are recorded in R&D expense for 
regulatory and development milestones. 

The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the contingent consideration 

liabilities measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

Non-Variable Rate Debt 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of the Company’s 3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes was 
$225.1 million and $433.3 million,  respectively.  The fair value was determined through market sources, which 
are  Level  2  inputs  and  directly  observable.  The  carrying  amounts  of  the  Company’s  other  long-term  variable 
interest rate debt arrangements approximate their fair values (see Note 8, “Debt”). 

Non-recurring fair value measurements 

Separate  disclosure  is  required  for  assets  and  liabilities  measured  at  fair  value  on  a  recurring  basis  from 
those measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, other 
than  those  outlined  in  Note  5  “Intangible  assets  and  goodwill”,  there  were  no  material  assets  or  liabilities 
measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. 

7. Derivative instruments and hedging activities 

Risk management objective of using derivatives 

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. 
The  Company  principally  manages  its  exposures  to  a  wide  variety  of  business  and  operational  risks  through 
management  of  its  core  business  activities.  The  Company  manages  economic  risks,  including  interest  rate, 
liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its assets and liabilities and 
the  use  of  derivative  financial  instruments.  Specifically,  the  Company  has  entered  into  interest  rate  swaps  to 
manage exposures that arise from payments of variable interest rate debt associated with the Company’s senior 
secured credit agreements. 

If  current  fair  values  of  designated  interest  rate  swaps  remained  static  over  the  next  twelve  months,  the 
Company  would  reclassify  $8.5  million  of  net  deferred  gains  from  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income 
(loss) to the statement of operations over the next twelve month period. All outstanding cash flow hedges mature 
in October 2023. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  had  the  following  outstanding  interest  rate  swap  derivatives  that 

were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

The valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including 
discounted  cash  flow  analysis  on  the  expected  cash  flows  of  each  interest  rate  swap. This  analysis  reflects  the 
contractual terms of the interest rate swaps, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based 
inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined 
using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or receipts) and the 
discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on 
an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. We 
incorporate  credit  valuation  adjustments  in  the  fair  value  measurements  to  appropriately  reflect  both  our  own 
nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk. These credit valuation adjustments 
were not significant inputs for the fair value calculations for the periods presented. In adjusting the fair value of 
our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any 
applicable  credit  enhancements,  such  as  the  posting  of  collateral,  thresholds,  mutual  puts  and  guarantees.  The 
valuation of interest rate swaps fall into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

As  of  December  31,  2022  there  was  a  $598.0  million  outstanding  revolver  loan  balance.  There  was  no 
outstanding  revolver  loan  balance  as  of  December  31,  2021.  During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  the

Company  reclassified  the  debt  issuance  costs  associated  with  the  revolver  loan  to  a  contra  account  to  directly 
offset  the  loan  balance  in  other  current  liabilities  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  balance  sheets.  As  of 
December  31,  2022,  the  Company  had  approximately  $1.3  million  debt  issuance  costs  associated  with  the 
revolver  loan that were classified  as an offset  to other current  liabilities.  Prior to 2022, the debt issuance costs 
associated  with  the  revolver  load  were  included  in  other  current  assets  and  other  assets  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated  balance  sheets.  As  of  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  had  approximately  $2.0  million  and 
$1.6 million of debt issuance costs associated with the revolver loan that were classified as other current assets 
and other assets, respectively. 

3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028 

On  August  7,  2020,  the  Company  completed  its  offering  of  $450.0  million  aggregate  principal  amount  of 
3.875%  Senior  Unsecured  Notes  due  2028  (the  “Senior  Unsecured  Notes”)  of  which  the  majority  of  the  net 
proceeds  were  used  to  pay  down  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  (as  defined  below).  Interest  on  the  Senior 
Unsecured  Notes  is  payable  on  February  15th  and  August  15th  of  each  year  until  maturity,  beginning  on 
February 15, 2021. The Senior Unsecured Notes will mature on August 15, 2028. 

On or after August 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the Senior Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at 
the  redemption  prices  set  forth  in  the  related  Indenture,  plus  accrued  and  unpaid  interest.  Prior  to  August  15, 
2023  the  Company  may  redeem  all  or  a  portion  of  the  Senior  Unsecured  Notes  at  a  redemption  price  equal  to 
100%  of  the  principal  amount  of  the  Senior  Unsecured  Notes  plus  a  “make-whole”  premium  and  accrued  and 
unpaid interest. Prior to August 15, 2023, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount 
of the Senior Unsecured Notes using the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set 
forth in the related Indenture. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the Company must offer to repurchase 
the Senior Unsecured Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of such Senior Unsecured Notes 
plus accrued and unpaid interest. 

Negative covenants in the Indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes, among other things, limit the 
ability  of  the  Company  to  incur  indebtedness  and  liens,  dispose  of  assets,  make  investments,  enter  into  certain 
merger or consolidation transactions and make restricted payments. 

Senior Secured Credit Agreement 

Also on August 7, 2020, the Company entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Credit Agreement 
Amendment”) to its senior secured credit agreement, dated October 15, 2018, with multiple lending institutions 
relating to the Company’s senior secured credit facilities (the Credit Agreement, and as amended, the Amended 
Credit  Agreement),  consisting  of  Revolving  Credit  Facility  and  Term  Loan  Facility,  and  together  with  the 
Revolving  Credit  Facility,  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities.  The  Second  Credit  Agreement  Amendment 
amended,  among  other  things,  the  definition  of  incremental  facilities  limit,  the  consolidated  net  leverage  ratio 
financial covenant by increasing the maximum level, increased the permissible applicable margins based on the 
Company’s  consolidated  net  leverage  ratio  and  increased  the  commitment  fee  that  the  Company  is  required  to 
pay in respect of the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, depending on the 
Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio. 

The Amended Credit Agreement includes (i) a Revolving Credit Facility of $600.0 million with a maturity 
date of October 13, 2023, and (ii) a Term Loan Facility with a principal amount of $450.0 million. The Company 
may request incremental  term loan facilities  or increases in the Revolving Credit Facility (each an Incremental 
Loan) as long as certain requirements involving our net leverage ratio will be maintained on a pro forma basis. 
Borrowings  under  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  and  the  Term  Loan  Facility  bear  interest  at  a  rate  per  annum 
equal  to  (a)  a  eurocurrency  rate  plus  a  margin  ranging  from  1.3%  to  2.3%  per  annum,  depending  on  the 
Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio or (b) a base rate (which is the highest of the prime rate, the federal 
funds  rate  plus  0.5%,  and  a  eurocurrency  rate  for  an  interest  period  of  one  month  plus  1.0%  plus  a  margin 

115 

ranging  from  0.3%  to  1.3%,  depending  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  net  leverage  ratio.  The  Company  is 
required to make quarterly payments on the last business day of each calendar quarter under the Amended Credit 
Agreement  for  accrued  and  unpaid  interest  on  the  outstanding  principal  balance,  based  on  the  above  interest 
rates.  In  addition,  the  Company  is  required  to  pay  commitment  fees  ranging  from  0.2%  to  0.4%  per  annum, 
depending on the Company’s consolidated  net leverage ratio, for the average daily unused commitments  under 
the  Revolving  Credit  Facility.  The  Company  is  to  repay  the  outstanding  principal  amount  of  the  Term  Loan 
Facility in quarterly installments on the last business day of each calendar quarter based on an annual percentage 
equal to 2.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility during each of the first two years of the 
Term Loan Facility, 5.0% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility during the third year of the 
Term Loan Facility and 7.5% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility during each year of the 
remainder of the term of the Term Loan Facility until the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility, at which time 
the  entire  unpaid  principal  balance  of  the  Term  Loan  Facility  will  be  due  and  payable.  The  Company  has  the 
right to prepay the Term Loan Facility without premium or penalty. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term 
Loan Facility mature on October 13, 2023. 

The  Amended  Credit  Agreement  also  requires  mandatory  prepayments  of  the  Term  Loan  Facility  in  the 
event the Company or its subsidiaries (a) incur indebtedness not otherwise permitted under the Amended Credit 
Agreement  or  (b)  receive  cash  proceeds  in  excess  of  $100.0  million  during  the  term  of  the  Credit  Agreement 
from  certain  dispositions  of  property  or  from  casualty  events  involving  their  property,  subject  to  certain 
reinvestment  rights.  The  financial  covenants  under  the  Amended  Credit  Agreement  currently  require  the 
quarterly presentation of a minimum consolidated 12-month rolling debt service coverage ratio of 2.5 to 1.0, and 
a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 4.5 to 1.0 (subject to an increase to 5.0 to 1.0 for an applicable four 
quarter period, at the election of the Company, in connection with a permitted acquisition having an aggregate 
consideration  in excess of $75.0 million).  Negative covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement, among other 
things,  limit  the  ability  of  the  Company  to  incur  indebtedness  and  liens,  dispose  of  assets,  make  investments, 
enter into certain merger or consolidation transactions and make restricted payments. 

On February 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Consent, Limited Waiver, and Third Amendment to the 
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Pursuant to the Third 
Credit  Agreement  Amendment,  the  requisite  lenders  consented  to  our  sale  of  our  travel  health  business  to 
Bavarian  Nordic  substantially  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  Sale  Agreement.  The  proceeds  from  the 
transaction  will  be  deposited  into  a  cash  collateral  account  with  the  Administrative  Agent  and  will,  unless 
otherwise  agreed  to  by  the  Company  and  the  requisite  lenders,  be  used  to  repay  the  outstanding  Term  Loan 
Facility  on  the  expiration  of  the  Limited  Waiver  (as  described  below).  We  currently  expect  the  transaction  to 
close in the second quarter of 2023, but we can provide no assurance that the transaction will close prior to the 
October 2023 maturity of the Term Loan Facility, or at all. 

Pursuant to the Third Credit Agreement Amendment the requisite lenders have agreed to a limited waiver of 
any  defaults  or  events  of  default  that  result  from  (a)  any  violation  of  the  financial  covenants  set  forth  in  the 
Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  with  respect  to  the  fiscal  quarters  ending  December  31,  2022  and  March  31, 
2023 and (b) the going concern qualification  or exception contained in the audited financial  statements  for the 
fiscal  year  ending  December  31,  2022.  This  limited  waiver  will  expire  on  the  earlier  to  occur  of  (i)  any  other 
event of default and (ii) April 17, 2023. During this period the Company is working with lenders under the Senior 
Secured  Credit  Facilities  in  connection  with  replacing  such  facilities  before  their  October  2023  maturity  with 
revised terms and conditions. The Company does not expect to be in compliance with debt covenants in future 
periods  without  additional  sources  of  liquidity  or  future  amendments  to  the  Credit  Agreement.  See  Footnote  2 
“Summary of significant accounting policies” for Going Concern considerations related to noncompliance with 
our debt covenants and the limited waiver.

(1)  Performance stock units granted and forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2022 are included at the 

target payout percentage, or 100%, of shares granted. 

The total fair value of restricted stock unit awards released during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 
and 2020 was $30.9 million, $26.9 million and $34.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, there was 
$54.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units. That cost is expected 
to be recognized ratable over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. 

Performance stock units represent common stock potentially issuable in the future, subject to achievement 
of  performance  conditions.  Our  current  outstanding  performance  stock  units  vest  based  on  certain  financial 
metrics over the applicable performance period. The vesting and payout range for our performance stock units is 
typically  between  50%  and  up  to  150%  of  the  target  number  of  shares  granted  at  the  end  of  a  three-year 
performance  period.  The  total  fair  value  of  performance  unit  awards  released  during  the  years  ended 
December  31,  2022,  2021  and  2020  was  $2.5  million,  $3.8  million  and  $1.2  million,  respectively.  As  of 
December 31, 2022, there was $5.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested performance 
stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized ratable over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Basic  net  income  (loss)  per  common  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  (loss)  by  the  weighted 
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common 
share is computed using the treasury method by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares 
of  common  stock  outstanding  during  the  period,  adjusted  for  the  potential  dilutive  effect  of  other  securities  if 
such  securities  were  converted  or  exercised  and  are  not  anti-dilutive.  No  adjustment  for  the  potential  dilutive 
effect of dilutive securities is reported for the year ended December 31, 2022 as the effect would have been anti-
dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. 

The following table presents the share-based awards that are not considered in the diluted net income (loss) 
per common share calculation generally because the exercise price of the awards was greater than the average per 
share closing price during the year ending December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. In certain instances, awards may 
be  anti-dilutive  even  if  the  average  market  price  exceeds  the  exercise  price  when  the  sum  of  the  assumed 
proceeds exceeds the difference between the market price and the exercise price.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 there were two customers in excess of 10% of total revenues. The 
USG accounted  for 43% of total revenues and the second customer accounted for 10% of total revenues. Both 
customer’s revenue is attributable to the Products segment. For the years ended 2021 and 2020, aside from sales 
to the USG, there were no sales to an individual customer in excess of 10% of total revenues. For the years ended 
December  31,  2022,  2021,  and  2020,  the  Company’s  revenues  from  customers  within  the  United  States 
comprised 79%, 92% and 93%, respectively, of total revenues. 

Termination of manufacturing services agreement with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 

On July 2, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Emergent Manufacturing Operations 
Baltimore,  LLC,  entered  into  the  Agreement  with  Janssen,  one  of  the  Janssen  Pharmaceutical  Companies  of 
Johnson  &  Johnson,  for  large-scale  drug  substance  manufacturing  of  Johnson  &  Johnson’s  investigational 
SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, Ad26.COV2-S, recombinant based on the AdVac technology (the “Product”). 

On  June  6,  2022,  the  Company  provided  to  Janssen  a  notice  (the  “Notice”)  of  material  breach  of  the 
Agreement for, among other things, failure by Janssen (i) to provide the Company the requisite forecasts of the 
required quantity of Product to be purchased by Janssen under the Agreement and (ii) to confirm Janssen’s intent 
to  not  purchase  the  requisite  minimum  quantity  of  the  Product  pursuant  to  the  Agreement  and  instead,  wind-
down  the  Agreement  ahead  of  fulfilling  these  minimum  requirements.  Later  on  June  6,  2022,  the  Company 
received  from  Janssen  a  purported  written  notice  of  termination  (the  “Janssen  Notice”)  of  the  Agreement  for 
asserted  material  breaches  of  the  Agreement  by  the  Company,  including  alleged  failure  by  the  Company  to 
perform its obligations in compliance with current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”) or other applicable 
laws and regulations and alleged failure by the Company to supply Janssen with the Product. Janssen alleged that 
the Company’s breaches were not curable and that, therefore, termination of the Agreement would be effective as 
of July 6, 2022. The Company disputes Janssen’s assertions and allegations, including Janssen’s ability to effect 
termination pursuant to the Janssen Notice. The Company and Janssen disagree on the monetary amounts that are 
due  to  the  Company  as  a  result  of  termination  by  any  means.  The  Company  believes  the  amounts  due  to  the 
Company include, but are not limited to, compensation for services provided, reimbursement  for raw materials 
purchased  and  non-cancelable  orders,  and  fees  for  early  termination.  Janssen  has  alleged  that  no  additional 
amount is due to the Company and that the Company should pay Janssen an unspecified amount as a result of the 
Company’s  alleged  failure  to  perform  under  the  Agreement.  The  Company  has  not  recorded  any  contingent 
liabilities  related  to  Janssen’s  allegations  as  the  Company  believes  they  are  without  merit  and  intends  to 
vigorously defend the Company’s position during the dispute resolution process through arbitration. 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  there  were  no  impacts  on  previously  recognized  revenue  or 
depreciation related to the conclusion of the Agreement. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has no billed or 
unbilled net accounts receivable related to the Agreement. 

Because the arbitration process may extend longer than one year, the Company reclassified $127.7 million 
from “Inventories, net” and $25.0 million from “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” to “Other assets” in 

122 

 
 
 
 
 
the  fourth  quarter  resulting  in  $152.7  million  in  long-term  assets  related  to  the  Janssen  Agreement  on  the 
consolidated  balance  sheet  as  of  December  31,  2022.  These  assets  include  termination  penalties,  certain 
inventory related items and raw materials  inventory representing materials  purchased for the Agreement which 
Janssen has not reimbursed. The Company evaluated the net realizable value of the inventory as of December 31, 
2022,  concluding  that  because  the  Agreement  specifies  the  Company  is  entitled  to,  among  other  things, 
reimbursement of raw materials and non-cancelable orders in the event of a contract termination for any reason, 
the  Company  is  entitled  to  payment  from  Janssen  for  these  raw  materials.  Additionally,  the  Company  has 
$6.2 million of non-cancelable  orders as of December 31, 2022 which have not been received and Janssen has 
not reimbursed. 

BARDA Center of Innovation and Advanced Development and Manufacturing Agreement 

In  2020,  the  Company  announced  the  issuance  of  a  task  order  under  its  existing  CIADM  agreement  with 
BARDA for COVID-19 vaccine development and manufacturing (the “BARDA COVID-19 Development Public 
Private Partnership”). The BARDA COVID-19 Development Public Private Partnership is considered a lease and 
is accounted for under ASC 842. The initial task order had a contract value of up to $628.2 million and included 
the  reservation  of  manufacturing  capacity  and  accelerated  expansion  of  fill/finish  capacity  valued  at 
$542.7 million and $85.5 million, respectively. Subsequently, the task order was expanded to include incremental 
capital activities which increased the value to $650.8 million. On November 1, 2021, the Company and BARDA 
mutually agreed to the completion of the Company’s CIADM contract and associated task orders, including the 
BARDA  COVID-19  Development  Public  Private  Partnership.  The  Company  did  not  recognize  lease  revenues 
under  this  arrangement  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022.  Total  revenues  associated  with  the  base 
arrangement were $71.3 million and $15.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 
2020,  respectively,  and  are  reflected  as  a  component  of  contracts  and  grants  revenue  on  the  consolidated 
statements  of  operations.  Revenues  associated  with  the  BARDA  COVID-19  Development  Public-Private 
Partnership  were  $237.6  million  and  $233.3  million  during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2021  and 
December  31,  2020,  respectively,  and  are  recorded  as  CDMO  leases  on  the  consolidated  statements  of 
operations. 

CDMO Operating Leases 

Certain multi-year CDMO service arrangements with non-USG customers include operating leases whereby 
the  customer  has  the  right  to  direct  the  use  of  and  obtain  substantially  all  of  the  economic  benefits  of  specific 
manufacturing  suites  operated  by  the  Company.  The  associated  revenue  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis 
over the term of the lease. The remaining term on the Company’s operating lease components approximates 2.6 
years. The Company utilizes a cost-plus model to determine the stand-alone selling price of the lease component 
to  allocate  contract  consideration  between  the  lease  and  non-lease  components.  During  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2022, the Company’s non-USG lease revenues were $4.9 million, which is included within CDMO 
leases  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  operations.  Excluding  future  amounts  related  to  the  Agreement  as 
discussed above, the Company estimates future operating lease revenues to be $5.1 million in 2023, $0.9 million 
in 2024, $0.9 million in 2025, and $2.7 million in years beyond 2025. 

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company expects future revenues of approximately $378.2 million associated 
with  all  arrangements  entered  into  by  the  Company.  The  Company  expects  to  recognize  a  majority  of  the 
$378.2  million  of  unsatisfied  performance  obligations  within  the  next  24  months.  The  amount  and  timing  of 
revenue  recognition  for  unsatisfied  performance  obligations  can  change.  The  future  revenues  associated  with 
unsatisfied performance obligations exclude the value of unexercised option periods in the Company’s revenue 
arrangements.  Often  the  timing  of  manufacturing  activities  changes  based  on  customer  needs  and  resource 
availability. Government funding appropriations can impact the timing of product deliveries. The success of the 
Company’s development activities that receive development funding support from the USG under development 
contracts can also impact the timing of revenue recognition. 

123 

Contract assets 

The  Company  considers  accounts  receivable  and  deferred  costs  associated  with  revenue  generating 
contracts,  which  are  not  included  in  inventory  or  property,  plant  and  equipment  and  the  Company  does  not 
currently have a contractual right to bill, to be contract assets. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 
the  Company  had  $34.8  million  and  $21.5  million,  respectively,  of  contract  assets  recorded  within  accounts 
receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. 

Contract liabilities 

When  performance  obligations  are  not  transferred  to  a  customer  at  the  end  of  a  reporting  period,  cash 
received associated with the amount allocated to those performance obligations is reflected as contract liabilities 
on the consolidated balance sheets and is deferred until control of these performance obligations is transferred to 
the customer. 

The following table presents the roll forward of the contract liabilities:

13. Income taxes 

The  Company  uses  the  asset  and  liability  method  of  accounting  for  income  taxes.  Under  this  method, 
deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  recognized  for  the  future  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences 
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the 
years  in  which  those  temporary  differences  are  expected  to  reverse.  Valuation  allowances  are  recorded  as 
appropriate to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount considered likely to be realized. 

The  Company  establishes  valuation  allowances  for  deferred  income  tax  assets  in  accordance  with  U.S. 
GAAP, which provides that such valuation allowances shall be established unless realization of the income tax 
benefits is more likely than not. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation 
of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  reassessed  the  valuation  allowance  and  considered  negative 
evidence,  including  its  significant  losses  in  the  current  year  and  the  substantial  doubt  about  the  Company’s 
ability to continue as a going concern through one year from the date that these financial statements are issued, 
positive evidence, scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, available taxes in carryback periods, tax planning 
strategies  and  projected  future  taxable  income.  After  assessing  both  the  negative  and  positive  evidence,  the 
Company  concluded  that  it  should  record  a  valuation  allowance  of  $43.8  million  on  its  global  net  operating 
losses, credits and other deferred tax assets. 

The  global  intangible  low-tax  income  (“GILTI”)  provisions  require  the  Company  to  include  in  its  U.S. 
income  tax  return  foreign  subsidiary  earnings  in  excess  of  an  allowable  return  on  the  foreign  subsidiary’s 
tangible assets. The Company is subject to incremental U.S. tax on GILTI income. The Company has elected to 
account  for  GILTI  tax  in  the  period  in  which  it  is  incurred,  and  therefore  has  not  provided  any  deferred  tax 
impacts of GILTI in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. BEAT 
provisions do not have material impact on the consolidated financial statements. 

For  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  has  evaluated  its  historical  indefinite  reinvestment 
assertion  in  connection  with  the  Company’s  going  concern  uncertainty.  The  Company  recognized  a  deferred 
withholding tax liability for the undistributed earnings of the Company’s international subsidiaries available cash 
and  net  working  capital  in  the  amount  of  $4.7  million.  All  other  international  subsidiaries’  outside  basis 
differences are indefinitely reinvested.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has approximately $73.0 million in U.S. federal net operating loss 
(“NOL”) carryforwards, $36.0 million of NOL’s which will expire in varying amounts in 2031 through 2035 and 
$37.0  million  which  will  carryforward  indefinitely,  although,  limited  to  eighty  percent  of  taxable  income 
annually.  The  Company  has  U.S.  federal  tax  credit  carryforwards  of  $13.4  million  which  will  expire  in  2027 
through 2042. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  the  Company  had  pre-apportionment  state  NOLs  totaling  approximately 
$1.9  billion  primarily  in  Maryland  which  will  begin  to  expire  in  2025  and  post-apportionment  NOLs  totaling 
approximately  $146.8  million  that  will  begin  to  expire  in  2028.  The  Company  has  state  R&D  tax  credit 
carryforwards of $5.0 million which will expire in 2027 through 2038. 

The  deductibility  of  such  US  federal  and  state  net  operating  losses  and  credits  may  be  limited.  Under 
Section 382/383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and corresponding provisions 
of state law, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” which generally occurs if the percentage of the 
corporation’s  stock  owned  by  5%  stockholders  increases  by  more  than  50%  over  a  three-year  period,  the 
corporation’s  ability  to  use  its  pre-change  NOL  carryforwards  and  other  pre-change  tax  attributes  to  offset  its 
post-change income may be limited. Certain of the net operating loss carryforwards and the credit carryforwards 
are  subject  to  an  annual  limitation  pursuant  to  Internal  Revenue  Code  Section  382  and  383  as  a  result  of 
historical acquisitions. We may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of subsequent shifts in our 
stock ownership, some of which may be outside of our control, which may further limit our carryforwards. If we 
determine  that  an  ownership  change  has  occurred  and  our  ability  to  use  our  historical  NOL  and  credit 

127 

 
 
 
 
 
 
carryforwards is materially limited, it would harm our future operating results by effectively increasing our future 
tax obligations. 

The  Company  has  approximately  $51.5  million  in  net  operating  losses  from  foreign  jurisdictions  as  of 
December  31,  2022,  $14.5  million  of  losses  which  will  expire  in  varying  amounts  in  2022  through  2028  and 
$37.0 million will carryforward indefinitely. 

The Company’s valuation allowance increased by $43.0 million due to the Company’s determination that it 
is not more likely than not to realize its global net deferred income tax assets and the current year losses incurred 
within the U.S. The valuation allowance has been recorded primarily against the Company’s net operating loss 
and credit carryforwards. 

Income  taxes  differ  from  the  amount  of  taxes  determined  by  applying  the  U.S.  federal  statutory  rate  to 

income before taxes as a result of the following:

2.1  $ 83.5  $102.1 

The effective annual tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 was (1)%, 27% and 

25%, respectively. 

The effective annual tax rate of (1)% in 2022 is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of a 
valuation  allowance  charge  in  the  US,  state  and  Foreign  Jurisdictions,  a  charge  due  the  Company’s  indefinite 
reinvestment  assertion,  goodwill  impairment,  GILTI, and other  permanent  items.  This is partially  offset  by tax 
credits, favorable rates in foreign jurisdictions, and the release of an indemnified unrecognized tax benefit. 

The effective annual tax rate of 27% in 2021 is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of 
goodwill impairment, state taxes, GILTI and other non-deductible items. This is partially offset by stock option 
deduction  benefits,  tax  credits,  and  favorable  rates  in  foreign  jurisdictions.  The jurisdictional  mix  of  profit  has 
changed  from  the  prior  year  largely  due  to  lower  U.S.  CDMO  margins,  the  termination  of  the  CIADM 
arrangement in the U.S. and an increase in sales of NARCAN in which a portion of the profit is attributable to a 
foreign subsidiary. 

128 

 
 
The effective annual tax rate of 25% in 2020 is higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of 
state  taxes,  GILTI,  contingent  consideration,  other  non-deductible  items  and the jurisdictional  mix of earnings. 
This is partially offset by stock option deduction benefits, tax credits, and favorable rates in foreign jurisdictions. 

The  Company  recognizes  interest  in  interest  expense  and  recognizes  potential  penalties  related  to 
unrecognized  tax  benefits  in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expense,  and  the  total  interest  and  penalties 
recognized  are  insignificant.  The  total  unrecognized  tax  benefits  recorded  at  December  31,  2022  and  2021  of 
$1.2 million and $9.8 million, respectively, is classified primarily as a non-current liability on the consolidated 
balance sheets. 

The  table  below  presents  the  gross  unrecognized  tax  benefits  activity  for  the  years  ended  December  31,

$ 1.2  $ 9.8  $ 9.2 

The total gross unrecognized tax benefit of $1.2 million, includes the release of $8.0 million of liability that 
related to the 2018 acquisition of PaxVax Holdings Company, Ltd. The liability was offset by an indemnification 
receivable, both of which were released due to a lapse of the statute of limitation during the year. 

The Company does not anticipate a significant change within the next twelve months for unrecognized tax 
benefits  and when resolved,  all  of these  liabilities  would impact the effective  tax rate. However, the Company 
maintains  a  full  valuation  allowance  as  of  December  31,  2022  and  the  recognition  of  any  unrecognized  tax 
benefits  would  be  offset  with  a  change  in  the  valuation  allowance  and  therefore  there  would  be  no  income 
statement impact. 

The  Company’s  federal  and  state  income  tax  returns  for  the  tax  years  2019  and  onwards  remain  open  to 
examination. The Company’s tax returns for Canada remain open to examination for the tax years 2014 through 
2021. The Company’s Irish tax returns remain open to examination for the tax years 2016 through 2021. 

As  of  December  31,  2022,  the  Company’s  2018  Canadian  Scientific  Research  and  Experimental 
Development  Claim  is  under  appeal  and  the  Company’s  2020  Canadian  Scientific  Research  and  Experimental 
Development Claim is under audit. The Company’s 2016 and 2017 Canadian income tax returns for the Adapt 
entities are under audit. The Company’s Irish group is under Level 1 Compliance Intervention review for 2021. 
In addition, the Company’s 2019 and 2020 New York state income tax returns are under audit. 

14. Defined benefit and 401(k) savings plan 

The  Company  sponsors  a  defined  benefit  pension  plan  covering  eligible  employees  in  Switzerland  (the 
“Swiss Plan”), which we have agreed to sell as part of our Travel Health business to Bavarian Nordic, described 
further in Note 18, “Subsequent events”. Under the Swiss Plan, the Company and certain of its employees with 
annual  earnings  in  excess  of  government  determined  amounts  are  required  to  make  contributions  into  a  fund 
managed by an independent investment fiduciary. Employer contributions must be in an amount at least equal to 
the employee’s contribution. The Swiss Plan’s assets are comprised of an insurance contract that has a fair value 
consistent with its contract value based on the practicability exception using Level 3 inputs. The entire liability is 

129 

 
 
listed as non-current because plan assets are greater than the expected benefit payments over the next year. The 
Company  recognized  pension  expense  related  to  the  Swiss  Plan  of  $0.8  million,  $2.0  million  and  $2.4  million 
reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2022, 
2021 and 2020, respectively. 

The funded status of the Swiss Plan is as follows:

401(k) savings plan 

The  Company  has  established  a  defined  contribution  savings  plan  under  Section  401(k)  of  the  Internal 
Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan covers substantially  all U.S. employees. Under the 401(k) 
Plan, employees may make elective salary deferrals. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, 
the  Company  made  matching  contributions  of  approximately  $8.8  million,  $8.9  million  and  $6.6  million, 
respectively. 

15. Purchase commitments 

Purchase commitments are agreements to purchase raw materials and services that are enforceable, legally 
binding,  and  specify  terms  that  (1)  include  fixed  or  minimum  quantities  to  be  purchased,  (2)  include  fixed, 
minimum or variable price provisions and (3) are longer than one year. 

As  of  December  31,  2022  the  Company  has  approximately  $132.8  million  of  purchase  commitments 
associated  with  raw  materials  and  CDMO  services  that  will  be  purchased  in  the  next  five  years,  of  which  the 
Company  estimates  that  approximately  $125.7  million  will  be  purchased  within  the  next  year.  For  the  years 
ended  December  31,  2022,  2021,  and  2020,  the  Company  purchased  $199.6  million,  $110.7  million  and 
$108.0 million, respectively, of materials and services under these commitments. 

16. Segment information 

The Company reports segment information based on the internal reporting used by management for making 
decisions and assessing performance. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company revised the reporting that the 

131 

 
 
 
 
CODM reviews in order to assess Company performance. The CODM manages the business with a focus on two 
reportable  segments:  (1)  Products  segment  consisting  of  the  Government—MCM  and  Commercial  product 
categories  and  (2)  Services  segment  focused  on  CDMO  services.  The  Company  evaluates  the  performance  of 
these  reportable  segments  based  on  revenue  and  Adjusted  Gross  Margin,  which  is  a  non-GAAP  financial 
measure. Segment revenue includes external customer sales, but it does not include inter-segment services. The 
Company defines Adjusted Gross Margin as segment revenue less segment cost of sales reduced for significant 
events,  inventory  step-up  provisions  and  changes  in  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration.  The Company does 
not  allocate  research  and  development,  selling,  general  and  administrative  costs,  amortization  of  intangibles 
assets, interest and other income (expense) or taxes to operating segments in the management reporting reviewed 
by the CODM. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole. The 
Company has recast the related historical information for consistency. 

The  Company  manages  its  assets  on  a  total  company  basis,  not  by  operating  segment,  as  the  Company’s 
operating  assets  are  shared  or  commingled.  Therefore,  the  Company’s  CODM  does  not  regularly  review  any 
asset  information  by  operating  segment  and,  accordingly,  the  Company  does  not  report  asset  information  by 
operating segment.

gross margin to the consolidated statement of operations for each of the Company’s reporting segments:

Securities and shareholder litigation 

With  respect  to  the  specific  legal  proceedings  and  claims  described  below,  unless  otherwise  noted,  the 
amount  or  range  of  possible  losses  is  not  reasonably  estimable.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  settlement, 
resolution, or other outcome of one or more matters, including the matters set forth below, during any subsequent 
reporting period will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for 
that period or on the Company’s financial condition. 

On  April  20,  2021,  May  14,  2021,  and  June  2,  2021,  putative  class  action  lawsuits  were  filed  against  the 
Company and certain of its current and former senior officers in the United States District Court for the District 
of  Maryland  on  behalf  of  purchasers  of  the  Company’s  common  stock,  seeking  to  pursue  remedies  under  the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These complaints were filed by Palm Tran, Inc. – Amalgamated Transit Union 
Local 1577 Pension Plan; Alan I. Roth; and Stephen M. Weiss, respectively. The complaints allege, among other 
things,  that  the  defendants  made  false  and  misleading  statements  about  the  Company’s  manufacturing 
capabilities with respect to COVID-19 vaccine bulk drug substance (referred to herein as “CDMO Manufacturing 

134 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Capabilities”).  These  cases  were  consolidated  on  December  23,  2021,  under  the  caption  In  re  Emergent 
BioSolutions  Inc.  Securities  Litigation,  No.  8:21-cv-00955-PWG  (the  “Federal  Securities  Class  Action”).  The 
Lead Plaintiffs in the consolidated matter are Nova Scotia Health Employees’ Pension Plan and The City of Fort 
Lauderdale Police & Firefighters’ Retirement System. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on May 19, 2022 
and  the  Lead  Plaintiff  filed  an  opposition  to  that  motion  on  July  19,  2022.  The  defendants  believe  that  the 
allegations in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend the matters vigorously. Given the uncertainty 
of litigation, the preliminary stage of the cases, and the legal standards that must be met for, among other things, 
class certification and success on the merits, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range 
of loss, if any, that may result from the consolidated action. 

On June 29, 2021, Lincolnshire Police Pension Fund (“Lincolnshire”), and on August 16, 2021, Pooja Sayal, 
filed putative shareholder derivative lawsuits in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland on 
behalf of the Company against certain of the Company’s current and former officers and directors for breach of 
fiduciary  duties,  waste  of  corporate  assets,  and  unjust  enrichment,  each  allegation  related  to  the  CDMO 
Manufacturing  Capabilities.  In  addition  to  monetary  damages,  the  complaints  seek  the  implementation  of 
multiple corporate governance and internal policy changes. On November 16, 2021, the cases were consolidated 
under  the  caption  In  re  Emergent  BioSolutions  Inc.  Stockholder  Derivative  Litigation,  Master  Case  No. 
8:21-cv-01595-PWG. On January 3, 2022, the Lincolnshire complaint was designated as the operative complaint 
in the consolidated action. On April 13, 2022 the Court approved the parties joint stipulation to and stay of the 
proceedings and discovery until the close of fact discovery in the Federal Securities Class Action. The defendants 
believe that the allegations in the complaints are without merit and intend to defend the matter vigorously. 

On  September  15,  2021,  September  16,  2021  and  November  12,  2021,  putative  shareholder  derivative 
lawsuits were filed by Chang Kyum Kim, Mark Nevins and Employees Retirement System of the State of Rhode 
Island,  North  Collier  Fire  Control  and  Rescue  District  Firefighters  Pension  Plan,  and  Pembroke  Pines 
Firefighters & Police Officers Pension Fund, respectively, in The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on 
behalf  of  the  Company  against  certain  of  its  current  and  former  officers  and  directors  for  breach  of  fiduciary 
duties, unjust enrichment and insider trading, each allegation related to the CDMO Manufacturing Capabilities. 
In addition to monetary damages, the complaints seek the implementation of multiple corporate governance and 
internal  policy  changes.  On  February  2,  2022,  the  cases  were  consolidated  under  the  caption  In  re  Emergent 
BioSolutions,  Inc.  Derivative  Litigation,  C.A.  No.  2021-0974-MTZ  with  the  institutional  investors  as  co-lead 
plaintiffs. On March 4, 2022, the defendants’ filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Ruling on this motion is 
stayed pursuant to a March 29, 2022 order staying all proceedings pending a final, non-appealable judgment in 
the Federal Securities Class Action. 

On December 3, 2021, December 22, 2021 and January 18, 2022, putative shareholder derivative lawsuits 
were  filed  by  Zachary  Elton,  Eric  White  and  Jeffrey  Reynolds  in  the  Circuit  Court  for  Montgomery  County, 
Maryland on behalf of the Company against certain of its current and former officers and directors for breach of 
fiduciary  duty,  unjust  enrichment,  waste  of  corporate  assets,  failing  to  maintain  internal  controls,  making  or 
causing  to  be  made  false  and/or  misleading  statements  and  material  omissions,  insider  trading  and  otherwise 
violating  the  federal  securities  laws,  each  allegation  related  to  the  CDMO  Manufacturing  Capabilities.  The 
complaints seek monetary and punitive damages. On February 22, 2022, the Court entered an order consolidating 
these actions under case number C-15-21-CV-000496. On March 9, 2022, the parties filed a Joint Stipulation of 
Stay of Proceedings and Discovery, pursuant to which the parties agreed to stay all proceedings until 30 calendar 
days after a ruling on the defendants’ motion to dismiss the Federal Securities Class Action. The Court approved 
the Joint Stipulation on March 14, 2022. 

In addition to the above actions, the Company has received inquiries and subpoenas to produce documents 
related to these matters from the Department of Justice, the SEC, the Maryland Attorney General’s Office, and 
the  New  York  Attorney  General’s  Office.  The  Company  produced  or  is  producing  documents  as  required  in 
response and will continue to cooperate with these government inquiries. The Company also received inquiries 
and  subpoenas  from  Representative  Carolyn  Maloney  and  Representative  Jim  Clyburn,  members  of  the  House 

135 

Committee on Oversight and Reform and the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis and Senator Murray 
of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. The Company produced documents and provided 
testimony and briefings as requested in response to these inquiries. 

18. Subsequent events 

2023 Organizational Restructuring Plan 

On January 9, 2023, the Company announced an organizational restructuring plan (the “Plan”) intended to 
reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing commitment 
to profitable growth. The Plan includes a reduction of the Company’s current workforce by approximately five 
percent. Decisions regarding the elimination of positions are subject to local law and consultation requirements in 
certain countries, as well as the Company’s business needs. 

The  Company  estimates  that  it  will  incur  approximately  $9.0  million  to  $11.0  million  in  charges  in 
connection  with  the  Plan,  which  it  expects  to  incur  in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2023.  These  charges  consist 
primarily  of  charges  related  to  employee  transition,  severance  payments,  employee  benefits,  and  share-based 
compensation. 

Agreement to Sell Travel Business Health 

On February 15, 2023, we entered into the Sale Agreement with Bavarian Nordic, under which we agreed to 
sell  our  travel  health  business,  including  rights  to  Vaxchora  and  Vivotif,  as  well  as  our  development-stage 
chikungunya  vaccine  candidate  CHIKV  VLP,  our  manufacturing  site  in  Bern,  Switzerland  and  certain  of  our 
development  facilities  in  San  Diego,  California  for  a  cash  purchase  price  of  $270.0  million,  subject  to  certain 
customary  adjustments.  In  addition,  we  may  receive  milestone  payments  of  up  to  $80.0  million  related  to  the 
development of CHIKV VLP and receipt of marketing  approval and authorization  in the U.S. and Europe, and 
sales-based milestones payments of up to $30.0 million based on aggregate net sales of Vaxchora and Vivotif in 
calendar  year  2026.  Approximately  280  employees  are  expected  to  join  Bavarian  Nordic  as  part  of  the 
transaction. 

The  transaction  is  expected  to  close  in  the  second  quarter  of  2023,  subject  to  certain  customary  closing 
conditions,  including  (1)  the  expiration  or  earlier  termination  of  the  applicable  waiting  period  under  the  Hart-
Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (2) receipt of required clearances and approvals 
under  Spain’s  competition  laws,  (3)  receipt  of  certain  Swiss  real  property  approvals,  (4)  no  material  adverse 
effect having occurred with respect to the Business, and (5) certain other customary conditions.

FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE 

Not applicable. 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated 
the  effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  as  of  December  31,  2022.  The  term  “disclosure 
controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls 
and  other  procedures  of  a  company  that  are  designed  to  ensure  that  information  required  to  be  disclosed  by  a 
company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and 
reported,  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  the  SEC’s  rules  and  forms.  Disclosure  controls  and  procedures 
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed 
by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to 
the  company’s  management,  including  its  principal  executive  and principal  financial  officers,  as appropriate  to 
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, 
no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives 
and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls 
and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2022, our 
chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, that the disclosure controls and 
procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, described 
below. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Our  management  is  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting,  as  defined  in  Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  under  the  Exchange  Act.  Because  of  its  inherent 
limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because 
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

Our  management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of 
December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of 
Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  in  Internal  Control-Integrated  Framework  (2013 
Framework).  As  a  result  of  this  assessment,  our  management  concluded  that,  as  of  December  31,  2022,  our 
internal  control over financial  reporting  was not effective  due to an identified  material  weakness related to the 
improper  capitalization  of  inventory.  A  material  weakness  is  a  deficiency,  or  a  combination  of  deficiencies,  in 
internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of 
our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. While this did not 
result  in  a  material  misstatement  to  our  consolidated  financial  statements  for  any  prior  periods  through  and 
including December 31, 2022, there was a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our interim or 
annual financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. 

More  specifically,  the  material  weakness  is  due  to  insufficient  controls  to  related  to  our  assessment  of 
pre-launch  materials  meeting  the  criteria  for  capitalization,  which  requires  those  materials  to  have  economic 
value and a high probability of regulatory approval. 

Remediation 

We have initiated and begun to implement measures designed to improve our internal control over financial 
reporting related to the capitalization of inventory, including documenting a formal policy on the accounting for 

137 

pre-paunch materials purchased for use in R&D activities, providing additional training related to the new policy, 
implementing  a  monthly  control  to  review  pre-launch  inventory  with  corporate  finance  to  ensure  proper 
accounting treatment. As a result of these efforts and given that the deficiencies relate to specific adjustments that 
were made during the period ended December 31, 2022, we believe that the Inventory Capitalization Issue may 
be remediated during the first quarter of 2023. 

Ernst  &  Young  LLP,  the  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm  that  has  audited  our  consolidated 
financial statements included herein, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control 
over financial  reporting  as of December  31, 2022, a copy of which is included in this Annual Report on Form 
10-K. 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

Except  for  the  material  weakness  described  above,  there  has  been  no  change  in  the  Company’s  internal 
control  over  financial  reporting  as  defined  in  Rules  13a-15(f)  and  15d-15(f)  that  occurred  during  the  quarter 
ended December 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal 
control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Emergent BioSolutions Inc. 

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

We have audited Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of 
December  31,  2022,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  —  Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In 
our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described below on the achievement of the objectives 
of the control criteria, Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) has not maintained effective 
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the COSO criteria. 

A  material  weakness  is  a  deficiency,  or  combination  of  deficiencies,  in  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting,  such  that  there  is  a  reasonable  possibility  that  a  material  misstatement  of  the  Company’s  annual  or 
interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness 
has been identified and included in management’s assessment. Management has identified a material weakness in 
controls related to the Company’s inventory process. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 
the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity 
and  cash  flows  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  December  31,  2022,  and  the  related  notes  and 
financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. This material weakness was considered in determining 
the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements, and 
this report does not affect our report dated March 1, 2023, which expressed an unqualified opinion that included 
an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

Basis for Opinion 

The  Company’s  management  is  responsible  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting  and for its assessment  of the effectiveness  of internal control over financial  reporting included in the 
accompanying  Management’s  Report  on  Internal  Control  Over  Financial  Reporting.  Our  responsibility  is  to 
express  an  opinion  on  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  based  on  our  audit.  We  are  a 
public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the  PCAOB  and  are  required  to  be  independent  with  respect  to  the 
Company  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and  regulations  of  the 
Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we 
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial 
reporting was maintained in all material respects. 

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk 
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control 
based  on  the  assessed  risk,  and  performing  such  other  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the 
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance 
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting 

139 

includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the  maintenance  of records  that,  in reasonable  detail, 
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable 
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made 
only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable 
assurance  regarding  prevention  or  timely  detection  of  unauthorized  acquisition,  use,  or  disposition  of  the 
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  may  not  prevent  or  detect 
misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness  to future periods are subject to the risk that 
controls  may  become  inadequate  because  of  changes  in  conditions,  or  that  the  degree  of  compliance  with  the 
policies or procedures may deteriorate.
