25 years protecting against 
public health threats

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

For 25 years, Emergent has been a leader in public health preparedness, delivering products that 
protect our communities and responding to global health challenges. 2023 demonstrated what we at 
Emergent know to be true—public health threats remain omnipresent.

In the United States, the opioid epidemic continued to worsen, with an American dying from an opioid 
overdose every six minutes. In addition, the global conflicts and geo-political issues of today rein-
force that being prepared for chemical or biologic threats must be a priority.

Emergent is uniquely positioned to respond to these pressing and urgent public health threats.

On March 29, 2023, the FDA approved NARCAN® Nasal Spray as an over-the-counter (OTC) emer-
gency treatment of opioid overdose, making it the first 4mg naloxone nasal spray  to receive OTC sta-
tus in the U.S. Last August, we officially shipped over the counter NARCAN® Nasal Spray to leading 
brick-and-mortar and online retailers, offering more people the ability  to respond in the event of an 
opioid overdose emergency. This is just one of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to doing 
our part  in the fight to reduce the number of opioid overdose deaths each day.

We also achieved important milestones for our medical countermeasures business. In July, we re-
ceived FDA approval of CYFENDUS® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, Adjuvanted) previously known as 
AV7909 , a two-dose anthrax vaccine for post-exposure prophylaxis use. This 20-year development 
process and subsequent approval represents Emergent’s longstanding partnership with the U.S. 
government and demonstrates the scientific and technical skill of our teams. In addition, we were 
awarded contracts with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA)
for  advanced development and procurement of Ebanga™ (ansuvimab-zykl), a licensed treatment for 
Ebola virus disease (EVD), and an option to procure doses of CYFENDUS® vaccine.

Additionally, we continued to foster a culture of quality  and compliance to ensure we’re produc-
ing high-quality  products for patients. In October, we received a “Warning Letter close-out letter” 
regarding our Camden facility, stating that Emergent has adequately addressed the violations con-
tained in the August 2022 Warning Letter.

Over the last year prior to my appointment as president & CEO, Emergent made strategic and oper-
ational adjustments to strengthen its financial position and right-size the business. This includes 
divesting our travel health business and de-emphasizing the growth of our contract development 
and manufacturing operations (CDMO) business, while we prioritize our core products. In 2024,  we  
will continue to take actions to derisk our balance sheet and reduce debt to support the ongoing 
transformation  of our business.

It’s a privilege to lead Emergent and chart a  new chapter in this vital space. Whether it’s increas-
ing access to NARCAN® Nasal Spray to help combat the opioid epidemic or continuing to deliver 
important medical countermeasures to customers around the world, Emergent is providing critical 
products to address global health crisis in an increasingly dangerous world.

I am proud of the Emergent team’s dedication to protecting and enhancing life, and I’m confident in  
the long-term success of the company. I look forward to advancing the company’s progress, improv-
ing its financial position, and driving value for shareholders.

Sincerely,

Joseph C. Papa
President &CEO

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  Bioservices  portfolio.  The  types  of  PHTs  we  are 
currently addressing are focused on the following four categories: 

•

•

•

•

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

emerging infectious diseases (“EID”); 

public health crises (such as the opioid crisis); 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 bioservices 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 

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2023,  we  realigned  our  reportable  operating  segments  to  reflect  recent  changes  in 
our  internal  operating  and  reporting  process.  The  revised  reporting  structure  reflects  the  internal  reporting  and 
review process used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker, for making decisions and assessing performance, 
and is consistent with how we currently manage the business. 

We now manage our business with a focus on three reportable segments: 

•

•

•

our  Commercial  Products  Segment  consisting  of  NARCAN®  and  other  commercial  products  which 
were sold as part of our travel health business in the second quarter of 2023; 

our MCM Products Segment consisting of Anthrax—MCM products, Smallpox—MCM products and 
Other Products (as discussed below); and 

our Services Segment consisting of our Bioservices portfolio. 

Additionally,  we  have  a  centralized  R&D  organization  and  an  enterprise-wide  governance  approach  to 

managing our portfolio of R&D projects. 

Commercial Products Segment 

In the U.S. and international  markets, our Commercial  business primarily  focuses on sales of NARCAN® 
(naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray. NARCAN® Nasal Spray is sold commercially over-the-counter at retail pharmacies 
and  digital  commerce  websites  as  well  as  through  physician-directed  or  standing  order  prescriptions  at  retail 
pharmacies,  health  departments,  local  law  enforcement  agencies,  community-based  organizations,  substance 
abuse centers and other federal agencies. 

On May 15, 2023, we completed the sale of our products segment’s travel health business, including rights 
to  Vivotif®,  the  licensed  typhoid  vaccine;  Vaxchora®,  the  licensed  cholera  vaccine;  the  development-stage 
chikungunya  vaccine  candidate  CHIKV  VLP;  the  Company’s  manufacturing  site  in  Bern,  Switzerland;  and 
certain  of  its  development  facilities  in  San  Diego,  California.  In  connection  with  the  divestiture,  the  Company 
entered  into  a  Transition  Services  Agreement  (“TSA”)  with  Bavarian  Nordic  to  help  support  its  ongoing 
operations.  Under  the  TSA,  the  Company  provides  certain  transition  services  to  Bavarian  Nordic,  including 

4 

information  technology, finance and enterprise resource planning, research and development, human resources, 
employee  benefits  and  other  limited  services.  Services  pursuant  to  the  TSA  remain  ongoing.  For  additional 
information, refer to Note 3, “Divestiture.” 

MCM Products Segment 

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. 

Services Segment 

Our portfolio of Bioservices 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 
Bioservices  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 Bioservices is 
primarily innovators in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical segments. 

OUR STRATEGY 

The  Company  continues  to  execute  the  three-year  strategic  plan  (2023-2025)  adopted  by  management  to 
strengthen  the  Company’s  financial  position  and  adapt  to  new  strategic  priorities.  We  expected  this  strategy 
would refocus the business and increase the Company’s ability to make more aggressive investments for future 
growth. 

Specifically, throughout 2023 the Company has taken significant steps to strengthen our financial position 
and de-risk  the business. We have executed the travel health divestiture,  implemented  actions intended to save 
over $160 million of annualized operating expense, and announced a strategic shift to de-emphasize our CDMO 
business as a source of growth. At the same time, we have achieved a number of positive milestones in our core 
products  business,  including  the  receipt  of  approximately  $250  million  of  USG  orders  for  ACAM2000® 
(discussed  more  fully  below),  VIGIV  CNJ-016®  and  BAT®,  the  FDA  approvals  of  CYFENDUS®  and 
NARCAN® over-the-counter, new long-term contracts for RSDL® and Ebanga™ and the growth of NARCAN® 
Nasal Spray.

Description of MCM Products 

ACAM2000® (Smallpox (Vaccinia) Vaccine, Live). ACAM2000® vaccine is a smallpox vaccine licensed 
by  the  FDA  for  active  immunization  against  smallpox  disease  for  persons  determined  to  be  at  high  risk  for 
smallpox infection and comprises the largest percentage of the current USG stockpile in the Strategic National 
Stockpile (“SNS”) designated for use in a bioterrorism emergency. On December 5, 2023, ACAM2000® vaccine 
received a Notice of Compliance from Health Canada for its Extraordinary Use New Drug Submission (EUNDS) 
for the indication of active immunization against smallpox disease for persons determined to be at high risk for 
smallpox  infection.  On  October  27,  2023,  Emergent  submitted  a  supplemental  Biological  License  Application 
(sBLA)  to  the  US  FDA  seeking  approval  for  the  expansion  of  the  indication  for  ACAM2000®  to  include 
immunization  against  mpox  virus.  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 

7 

 
 
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.  On  May  26,  2023,  the 
Company,  through  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Emergent  Product  Development  Gaithersburg  Inc.,  received  a 
contract  modification  from  the  Office  of  the  Assistant  Secretary  for  Preparedness  and  Response  (“ASPR”),  an 
agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”), exercising and funding the third of nine 
annual  contract  term  extension  options  (the  “Third  Option  Exercise”)  for  Emergent  to  supply  ACAM2000®  to 
the  SNS.  The  Third  Option  Exercise  is  valued  at  approximately  $120  million  and  was  made  under  a  bilateral 
modification  of  Emergent’s  existing  10-year  contract  awarded  by  ASPR  on  August  30,  2019.  The  period  of 
performance under the Third Option Exercise required Emergent to deliver doses of ACAM2000® into the SNS 
by June 30, 2023 and the Company achieved delivery in this period. 

ANTHRASIL®.  ANTHRASIL®  (Anthrax  Immune  Globulin  Intravenous  (human))  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: 1) a development and procurement contract which has been extended to expire in September 2024 
for  possible  additional  scope,  and  2)  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;  such  contract  covered  extended  plasma  storage,  and  the  options  for  manufacturing  and 
delivery of finished product into the SNS to be exercised by HHS through September 2023. We anticipate that 
the direct disposition of the plasma and close out activities will be completed before July 31, 2025. In addition to 
domestic  USG  sales,  Anthrasil  solution  has  been  sold  to  several  foreign  governments,  including  the  Canadian 
government. 

BAT® [Botulism  Antitoxin Heptavalent  (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) – (Equine)]. 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 15 foreign governments in 2023. 

BioThrax® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed). 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 

8 

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 CYFENDUS® vaccine (formerly known as 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. 
On  January  11,  2024,  the  Company  announced  that  it  has  secured  an  indefinite-delivery,  indefinite-quantity 
(“IDIQ”) procurement contract with a maximum value up to $235.8 million to supply BioThrax® vaccine for use 
by all branches of the U.S. military  as Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) for anthrax disease. The new contract 
with  the  U.S.  Department  of  Defense  (“DoD”)  and  led  by  the  Joint  Program  Executive  Office  for  Chemical, 
Biological,  Radiological  and  Nuclear  Defense,  is  comprised  of  a  five-year  base  agreement  ending  on 
September 30, 2028, and an additional five-year option that would extend the contract to September 30, 2033. 

CYFENDUS® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, Adjuvanted) (known as AV7909 prior to FDA approval in July 
2023).  CYFENDUS®  vaccine  was  approved  by  the  FDA  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  have  shown  that  CYFENDUS®  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. 
CYFENDUS®  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 Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”), which included a five-
year base period of performance to develop CYFENDUS® 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 CYFENDUS® 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  CYFENDUS®.  Following  this  submission,  BARDA  began 
procuring  CYFENDUS®  ,  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 July 2020 
(valued  at  $258.0  million)  to  procure  additional  doses  of  CYFENDUS®  for  delivery  into  the  SNS  over  12 
months, in September 2021 funding another contract option (valued at approximately $399.0 million) to deliver 
doses  of  CYFENDUS®  to  the  SNS  over  18  months.  Two  contract  modifications  (each  valued  at  $75  million) 
were executed with BARDA in 2023; the first modification was filled during 2023 and the second modification 
expires in March 2024. In April 2022, we completed our submission of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) 
for CYFENDUS® to the FDA and received BLA approval in July 2023. When we report the revenue associated 
with  “anthrax  vaccines,”  it  reflects  the  combined  revenue  from  the  procurement  and  sale  of  CYFENDUS®  as 
well as BioThrax® (described above). 

Ebanga™  (ansuvimab-zykl),  for  injection.  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  asset  purchase  agreement  and  a  license  agreement  with  Ridgeback 
Biotherapeutics (“Ridgeback”) to expand the availability of Ebanga™ (ansuvimab-zykl). This included a license 

9 

to  the  Ebanga™  trademark  and  to  certain  patent  rights  related  to  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.  In  July  2023,  the  Company  announced  it  was  awarded  a 
10-year  contract  by  BARDA,  valued  at  up  to  a  maximum  of  $704  million,  for  advanced  development, 
manufacturing scale-up, and procurement of Ebanga™.

RSDL® (Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion Kit). RSDL® kit is cleared by the FDA and 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 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 DoD and the National Guard. 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  ten  foreign  countries  outside  the  U.S.  in  2023.  In  November  2022,  three  lots  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. We identified and 
remediated the cause leading to the November 2022 recall, as well as completed all required actions, notices and 
report  submissions  related  to  the  recalled  batch.  We  are  currently  awaiting  formal  closure  of  the  recall  from 
FDA. 

TEMBEXA®  (brincidofovir)  tablets  and  oral  suspension.  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,

Description of Commercial Products 

NARCAN®  Nasal  Spray.  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.  We  have  rights  to  formulations  of  naloxone  used  in 
NARCAN®  Nasal  Spray  from  Indivior  PLC  (f/k/a  Opiant  Pharmaceuticals  Inc.).  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.  We  completed  two important  product 
life cycle improvements in 2020. First, we launched the Generation II NARCAN® Nasal Spray 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. On January 18, 2024, the 
Company announced that the FDA has acknowledged the shelf-life  extension of NARCAN® Nasal Spray from 
36 months to 48 months based on the company’s four-year stability data. 

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we filed our supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) for NARCAN® 
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. 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®  Nasal  Spray  was  supportive  of  its  use  as  a  nonprescription  opioid  overdose  reversal  agent. 
NARCAN® Nasal Spray was approved as an OTC medication on March 29, 2023. It was the first 4 mg naloxone 
nasal  spray  available  OTC  in  the  U.S.  The  new  OTC  product  was  shipped  out  to  retailers  and  e-commerce 
providers  nationwide  in  August  of  2023.  Emergent  is  prepared  to  supply  all  segments  and  customers  of  the 
business with OTC product.

is  being  developed  for 

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”).  We  have  completed  our  Phase  1  clinical 
trial and are currently analyzing the data. 

EBS-MARV.  This  vaccine  candidate  is  a  recombinant,  vesicular  stomatitis  virus  vectored,  monovalent 
vaccine  encoding  the  surface  glycoprotein  precursor  gene  of  Marburg  virus.  The  development  program  is 
partnered with Auro Vaccines and is currently in IND-enabling stage. NIAID is funding Auro Vaccines program 
with contract options through Phase 1 development. 

EBS-SUDV.  This  vaccine  candidate  is  a  recombinant,  vesicular  stomatitis  virus  vectored,  monovalent 
vaccine encoding the surface glycoprotein precursor gene of Sudan virus. The development program is partnered 
with  Auro  Vaccines  and  is  currently  in  IND-enabling  stage.  NIAID  is  funding  Auro  Vaccines  program  with 
contract options through Phase 1 development. 

Pan-Ebola mAbs. IBT-T02 is a cocktail comprised of two chimeric mAbs, FVM04 and CA45. The mAb 
cocktail  candidate  targets  two  highly  conserved  and  non-overlapping  epitopes  on  the  glycoprotein  of  Sudan 
ebolavirus  (SUDV)  and  other  ebolaviruses.  The  preclinical  program  is  in  partnership  with  Integrated 
Biotherapeutics with a BARDA funded non-human primate study in progress. 

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 
(“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 

12 

 
 
 
 
 
that  it  will  deliver  SIAN  following  a  cyanide  incident  or  in  a  mass  exposure  setting.  We  have  completed  our 
Phase 1 clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and are currently 
analyzing the data. 

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. We have completed our Phase 1 clinical trial to assess safety, 
tolerability, and immunogenicity and are currently analyzing the data. 

WEVEE-VLP.  WEVEE  VLP  vaccine  is  a  recombinant  VLP  vaccine.  The  development  program  is  in 
partnership with NIAID Vaccine Research Center (VRC), who has already completed a Phase 1 clinical trial of 
the trivalent vaccine, in addition to a monovalent Phase 1 clinical study of the VEEV VLP component only.

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 sold to consumers online and through retailers nationwide. In 2022, we submitted a 
supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) requesting that FDA switch NARCAN® Nasal Spray (4mg) from a 
prescription  drug  to  an  over-the-counter  medicine.  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®  Nasal  Spray  was  supportive  of  its  use  as  a  nonprescription  opioid  overdose  reversal  agent. 
NARCAN® Nasal Spray was approved as an OTC medication on March 29, 2023. It was the first 4 mg naloxone 
nasal spray available OTC in the U.S. 

In the Canadian market, NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray is sold directly to federal, provincial and 
local  governments  and  agencies  for  use  by  first  responders,  public  health  and  harm  reduction  agencies,  and

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,  which  is  licensed  by  the  FDA  and  recently  licensed  by  Health 
Canada,  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 JYNNEOS™ 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. 

• CYFENDUS®  and  BioThrax®.  CYFENDUS®  and  BioThrax®  vaccines  are  currently  procured, 
primarily  by  the  USG, for  prevention  of  anthrax  disease.  BioThrax®  and  CYFENDUS®  vaccines  are 
currently  the  only  two  anthrax  vaccine  approved  by  the  FDA  for  prevention  of  anthrax  disease,  and 
CYFENDUS® 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. GC Pharma, Blue Willow Biologics/Porton Biopharma, and 
Greffex are each currently developing anthrax vaccine product candidates, which are in various stages 
of  clinical  development.  Of  these  product  candidates,  GC  Pharma  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. 

15 

 
 
 
 
• 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. 

• Ebanga™  (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®  (naloxone  HCl)  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®  Nasal  Spray  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® Nasal Spray approved by the FDA. Padagis launched 
its generic naloxone nasal spray. NARCAN® Nasal Spray also faces branded competition: Kloxxado™

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  and  RiVive™  a  3mg  naloxone  nasal  spray  formulation  intended  for  use  in  opioid  overdose 
reversal  by  Harm  Reduction  Therapeutics.  On  May  22,  2023,  FDA  granted  approval  of  Opvee® 
(nalmefene)  Nasal Spray to Opiant Pharmaceuticals  Inc, (now a wholly owned subsidiary of Indivior 
PLC), which was released in the market during fourth quarter of 2023. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries 
Ltd. also received a notice of compliance (NOC) from Health Canada on January 2, 2024. NARCAN® 
Nasal Spray 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

MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS 

Manufacturing Network: Emergent relies on an internal and external network of manufacturers and other 
third parties to produce its commercial and clinical supply of products. The following products are manufactured 
internally: ACAM2000®, Anthrasil®, BAT®, VIGIV CNJ-016®, RSDL®. 

NARCAN® Nasal Spray, EBANGA™, TEMBEXA, CYFENDUS® and BioThrax® are produced externally 
in  whole  or  in  part  by  contract  manufacturers.  However,  we  perform  the  majority  of  the  work  internally  to 
produce CYFENDUS® and BioThrax®. 

For  example,  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. 

Supplies  and  Raw  Materials:  We  place  purchase  orders  for  quantities  of  raw  material  and  supplies  in 
advance  of  their  use  in  manufacturing  in  quantities  believed  to  be  sufficient  to  meet  upcoming  demand 
requirements. Once received into our facilities or our contract manufacturer’s facility, these materials are subject 
to rigorous testing to ensure they are appropriate for use. 

We obtain Alhydrogel® adjuvant 2%, used to manufacture CYFENDUS® 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 we believed to be sufficient to meet our expected manufacturing needs. We 
also utilize single-source suppliers for other raw materials in our manufacturing processes. 

In addition, we utilize single source suppliers for all components of NARCAN® Nasal Spray. 

We  also  rely  on  single  source  suppliers  for  our  plasma  collection  to  support  the  VIGIV  CNJ-016®  and 
BAT® programs. We work closely with our suppliers for these specialty programs and operate under long-term 
agreements. 

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 

17 

regulatory-related extensions or administrative term adjustments, the availability of legal remedies in a particular 
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,  know-how,  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 valid and enforceable 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  ASPR  within  HHS  and  provided  statutory 
authorities  for  a  number  of  programs,  including  the  creation  of  BARDA  to  support  the  development  and 

18 

procurement of MCMs to respond to CBRNE. The Pandemic All 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  an 
Emergency  Use  Authorization  (“EUA”)  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, or a disease  or condition  that 
may be attributable  to 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 
an  attack  with  a  CBRN agent  or  an  agent  that  may  cause,  or  is  otherwise  associated  with,  an  imminently  life-
threatening and specific risk to United States military forces; 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 (the EUA Declaration) that circumstances exist justifying EUAs for MCMs to respond to 
the threat or emergency at issue. Once the relevant determination and EUA 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  a  serious  or  life-
threatening disease or condition related to the threat or emergency and that there are no adequate, approved, and 
available  alternatives  to  the  product  for  diagnosing,  preventing,  or  treating  the  disease  or  condition.  EUAs  are 
subject to additional conditions and restrictions, are product-specific, and terminate when the EUA is revoked or 
the EUA declaration is terminated because the Secretary of HHS has determined that the circumstances that led 
to the emergency determination have ceased or because the authorized use has been approved. 

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 the 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 

19 

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. 

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  efficacy  data  from  animal  studies.  In  assessing  the  sufficiency  of  animal  data,  the 
FDA may take into account other available data, including human data. 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 application (“IND”). 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. 

20 

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. 

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 an 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  each  approved  product  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, 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  FDA’s  review  of  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  RLD,  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 RLD. 

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 

21 

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  indications  for 
which the referenced product has been approved, as well as for any new indication sought by the applicant. 

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) the patent 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 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  product  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 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 

22 

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 
marketing  authorization  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 (for drugs and biologics), restrictions on advertising 
and  promotion,  and  FDA  inspections.  Adverse  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 for the same indication. Orphan drug exclusivity will not bar approval of the same drug marketed 
by a different manufacturer under certain circumstances, including if the company with orphan drug exclusivity 
is  not  able  to  meet  market  demand,  grants  consent  to  the  FDA’s  approval  of  the  subsequent  product  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. 

In September 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held in Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, 
Inc.  v.  Becerra  that  the  FDA  had  erred  by  limiting  the  scope  of  orphan  drug  exclusivity  for  FIRDAPSE® 
(amifampridine)  to  the  product’s  approved  indication,  an  action  that  the  FDA  took  in  accordance  with  its 
regulations  interpreting  the  Orphan  Drug  Act.  The  court  held  that  under  the  Orphan  Drug  Act,  FIRDAPSE’s 
orphan  drug  exclusivity  instead  protected  the  rare  disease  or  condition  that  received  orphan  drug  designation. 
Following this court decision in the Catalyst case, the FDA announced in January 2023 that it would continue to 
apply  the  FDA’s  regulations  limiting  the  scope  of  orphan  drug  exclusivity  to  a  product’s  approved  uses  or 
indications.  As  a  result  of  the  FDA’s  announcement,  the  scope  of  orphan  drug  exclusivity  and  other  issues 
relating  to  the  FDA’s  implementation  of  the  Orphan  Drug  Act  with  respect  to  previously  approved  and  future 
products may be the subject of further litigation or legislation. 

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 

23 

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. 

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  and/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. 

24 

The  FDA  also  regulates  the  export  of  medical  devices  from  the  U.S.,  and  medical  devices  that  are  not 

authorized to be legally marketed in the U.S. are subject to FDA export requirements. 

Manufacturing Requirements 

The  FDA’s  statutory  provisions  and  regulations  require  that  drugs  be  manufactured  in  FDA-registered 
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/or  QSRs  and  other 
requirements. 

The  FDA  uses  a  “risk-based  approach”  to  inspections,  whereby  the  agency  prioritizes  medical  product 
surveillance inspections deemed high risk based on a variety of specific criteria, such as facility type, compliance 
history, and inherent risks of product manufactured at the facility. 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  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. 
Each  foreign  country  has  its  own  regulatory  requirements  for  medicines  and  medical  devices.  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. 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 

25 

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; 

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 

26 

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 health care programs and 
private third-party payers. 

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  high 
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 privacy 
requirements on U.S. companies similar to the requirements reflected in the General Data Protection Regulation 
(“GDPR”)  in  the  EU  (“State  Consumer  Privacy  Laws”).  As  of  December  31,  2023,  State  Consumer  Privacy 
Laws were effective in five U.S. states. Three more State Consumer Privacy Laws become effective in 2024. 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. 

27 

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  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. 

During 2023, our number of employees declined by approximately 900 due to organizational restructurings 
announced in January and August 2023 and the sale of our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic in May. As 
of December 31, 2023, we had approximately 1,600 employees. 

Health and Wellness 

At  our  company,  we  are  deeply  committed  to  the  health  and  wellbeing  of  our  employees.  We  provide  a 
comprehensive  range  of  benefits  and  resources  to  support  their  physical,  mental,  and  financial  wellness.  This 
includes  access  to  mindfulness  tools,  online  therapy  apps,  fitness  apps,  and  programs  focused  on  financial 
literacy and wellbeing. Additionally, our safety programs comply with regional requirements and are designed to 
ensure  a  safe  and  comfortable  work  environment,  incorporating  measures  such  as  ergonomics,  COVID-19 
prevention protocols, and a strong culture of safety in our day-to-day operations. 

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,  leadership  and  technical  training  programs,  tuition  assistance  professional  memberships  and 
professional  conference  attendance.  We  continue  to  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  comprehensive  benefits  and  salaries,  bonuses,  and  for  employees  in 
eligible roles, equity awards. 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 within our company. 

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. 

28 

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 
demonstrate respect for the individual by providing fair and equal treatment to all our employees and identifying 
ways  to  recognize  their  various  needs  and  interests.  Our three  inaugural  Emergent  Resource  Groups  (“ERGs”) 
for black, women and veteran employees continue to open pathways of communication, help to expand learning 
opportunities,  and  offer  avenues  to  give  back  to  communities.  In  2023,  the  ERGs  brought  guest  speakers  and 
learning opportunities on important topics such as imposter syndrome, maintaining mental fitness and challenges 
faced by women in the workplace. Another important initiative has been implementing and planning to expand 
the SkillBridge internship program and other efforts that support veterans’ successful transition into the private 
sector. 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. 

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 
activities and relationships. Since 2020, Emergent has annually reported on ESG matters under the responsibility 
of  the  Vice  President,  Assistant  Treasurer  reporting  into  the  Chief  Financial  Officer  (“CFO”),  with  oversight 
from  the  Nominating  and  Corporate  Governance  Committee.  In  2023,  we  created  a  dedicated  role  within  our 
organization  to  manage  this  work  full  time,  reinforcing  our  commitment  to  ESG  progress  at  Emergent.  In 
addition to creating and publishing Emergent’s annual ESG report, this new role will work with core stakeholders 
across  the  organization  to  evolve  and  implement  a  multiyear  ESG  strategy  that  supports  our  mission.  Our 
Nominating  and  Corporate  Governance  Committee  will  continue  to  oversee  ESG  efforts,  with  executive 
sponsorship from the CFO and Executive Vice President of External Affairs and General Counsel. 

Our strategy is influenced by the Task Force on Climate-Related Disclosures framework (“TCFD”) as well 
as  the  Sustainability  Accounting  Standards  Board’s  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. Our most recent ESG Report can be 
found 
at:  www.emergentbiosolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/  EBSI_2022_ESG_Report.  The 
information contained in the ESG report is not a part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K. 

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 

Since  conducting  our  first  materiality  assessment  in  2020,  Emergent  and  the  world  have  changed 
significantly.  To  ensure  our  priority  issues  support  business  needs  and  meet  stakeholder  expectations,  we 
conducted a materiality refresh in 2023 with input from internal and external stakeholders. Our updated priority 
issues are: 

• Top Priorities 

• Talent Attraction, Engagement & Development 

• Ethics & Compliance 

•

•

•

Product Quality & Patient Safety 

Sustainable Innovation 

Product Affordability & Accessibility 

29 

• Responsible Supply Chain 

• Relative Priorities 

• Carbon Emissions

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 
our part to reverse the impacts of climate change which threaten environmental and human health. 

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. 

We  expect  these  efforts  will  also  allow  us  to  make  informed  decisions  on  setting  targets  and  creating  an 
accompanying strategy and road map for meeting our goals. 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee 
of  the  Company’s  board  of  directors.  ESG  executive  sponsors  provide  regular  updates  on  ESG  initiatives  and 
progress  at  both  the  committee  and  full  board  meetings.  Each  director  serves  on  at  least  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 CYFENDUS® 
vaccine and the TEMBEXA®, 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  CYFENDUS®, 
BioThrax®,  ACAM2000®  and/or  TEMBEXA®  are

condition, operating results and cash flows would be

reduced,  our  business, 

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

inability 

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 

34 

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 CYFENDUS® or BioThrax® 
vaccines  may  be  delayed,  limited  or  not  available, 
BARDA  may  never  complete  the  anticipated  full 
transition  to  stockpiling  CYFENDUS®  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. 

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. 

revenue 

The  USG  is  the  principal  customer  for  our 
MCMs  and  the  primary  source  of  funds  for  the 
development of most of our product candidates in our 
development  pipeline.  We  anticipate  that  the  USG 
will also be a principal customer for any MCMs that 
we  successfully  develop  from  within  our  existing 
product  development  pipeline,  as  well  as  those  we 
acquire  in  the  future.  Additionally,  a  significant 
portion  of  our 
from  USG 
development contracts and grants. Over its lifetime, a 
USG  procurement  or  development  program,  such  as 
for  CYFENDUS®  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 
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 

is  subject 

comes 

political  considerations,  changes  in  priorities  due  to 
global  pandemics, 
the  results  of  elections  and 
stringent budgetary constraints. 

Additionally, 

government-funded 
our 
development  contracts  typically  give  the  USG  the 
right,  exercisable  in  its  sole  discretion,  to  extend 
these  contracts 
for  successive  option  periods 
following a base period of performance. The value of 
the  services  to  be  performed  during  these  option 
periods may constitute the majority of the total value 
of  the  underlying  contract.  On  July  31,  2023,  we 
were awarded a 10-year contract by BARDA for the 
advanced  development,  manufacturing  scale-up,  and 
procurement of Ebanga™ (ansuvimab-zykl) treatment 
for  Ebola.  The  contract  consists  of  a  base  period  of 
performance  with  two  option  periods  valued  at 
approximately  $121  million,  and  option  periods  for 
procurement of Ebanga™ over five years valued at up 
to  $583  million.  If  all  option  periods  are  exercised, 
the  total  contract  value  will  be  valued  at  up  to 
approximately  $704 million.  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  this 
contract or our other 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 revenue is 
substantially dependent upon product procurement 
contracts with the USG and foreign governments for 
our MCMs and other commercialized products. 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 and other commercialized 
products 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 government contracting process is typically 
a  competitive  bidding  process  and  involves  unique 
risks and requirements. 

Our business involves government contracts and 

grants, which may be awarded through competitive 
bidding. Competitive bidding for government 
contracts presents many risks and requirements, 
including:

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  and  other  commercialized  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 
to 
contracts.  Additionally,

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. 

Our current procurement contracts with the U.S. 
Department  of  Health  &  Human  Services  (“HHS”) 
and  the  U.S.  Department  of  Defense  (“DoD”)  are 
generally  fixed  price  contracts.  We  expect  that  any 
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 
technical 
inflation.  Our 
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.

contracts 

Generally, 

government 

contain 
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.

manufacturing  facilities  for  compliance  with  CGMP 
requirements.  The  Company’s  failure  to  maintain 
compliance  with  CGMP 
requirements  at  our 
manufacturing  facilities  has  hindered  and  could

FDA  inspected  Emergent’s  Camden  facility  located 
in Baltimore, Maryland and issued a Form FDA 483. 
In  August  2022,  the  FDA  issued  a  warning  letter  to 
Emergent  related  to  the  February  2022  inspection. 
The  warning  letter  included  issues  pertaining  to 
equipment  cleaning  and  maintenance;  aseptic 
sterilization  technique  and  procedures;  and  quality 
systems.  In  July  and  August  of  2023,  the  FDA 
inspected  the  Camden  facility,  and  in  October  2023, 
the FDA determined that the inspection classification 
of 
the  Camden  facility  was  “voluntary  action 
indicated”  or  VAI.  A  VAI  classification  indicates 
that,  although  investigators  found  and  documented 
objectionable  conditions  during  the  inspection,  the 
FDA  would  not 
any 
take  or 
administrative  or regulatory  action.  Furthermore,  the 
FDA  concluded  that  the  Camden  facility  inspection 
was “closed” under 21 CFR 20.64(d)(3) and issued to 
the  Company  a “Warning  Letter  close-out  letter”.  In 
August 2023, the FDA inspected Emergent’s Canton 
facility located in Canton, Massachusetts and issued a 
Form  FDA  483.  The  Canton  facility  inspection  was 
classified  as  VAI.  In  December  2023,  the  FDA 
inspected  Emergent’s  Lansing  facility  located  in 
Lansing,  Michigan  and  issued  a  Form  FDA  483.  At 
this  point,  the  Lansing  facility  inspection  has  not 
been  classified  and  we  are  not  aware  of  specific 
timing regarding the classification decision.

as  well  as  impact  the  delivery  of  bioservices,  which 
would  harm  our  business,

in  our  manufacturing 
operations  could  result  in  our  inability  to  produce 
products  and  product  candidates  for  delivery  to 
satisfy  the  demands  of  our  customers  in  a  timely 
manner,  which  would  reduce  our  revenues  and 
materially  harm  our  business,  financial  condition, 
operating results and cash flows. A number of factors 
could cause interruptions, including: 

•

•

•

equipment malfunctions or failures; 

technology malfunctions;

at  any  of  our  manufacturing  facilities.  We  do  not 
have  any  redundant  manufacturing  facilities  for  any 
of  our  products.  Accordingly,  any  damage  to,  or 
disruption  or  destruction  of  one  or  more  of  our 
facilities could impede our ability to manufacture our

Providers  of  MCMs  could  be  subject  to  an 
increased  risk  of  terrorist  activities.  The  USG  has 
designated  our  Lansing,  Michigan 
facility  as 
security.  Although  we 
requiring 
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 Bioservices 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

also have an impact.

In addition, we may not be able to ramp up our

ramp  up  manufacturing  to  meet  the  demand  or 
specifications  of  our  customers  or  the  inability  to 
timely obtain regulatory authorization to produce the 
products  or  product  candidates  of  our  customers 
could  also  harm  our  business,  financial  condition, 
operating results and cash flows. 

Our  products  and  product  candidates  procured 
by  the  USG  and  other  customers  require  us  to 
perform  tests  for  and  meet  certain  potency  and  lot 
release  standards  prescribed  by  the  FDA  and  other 
agencies, which may not be met on a timely basis or 
at all.

for  FDA  compliance  and  periodically  produce  and 
qualify  a  new  reference  lot  to  replace  the  existing 
reference  lot.  If  we  are  unable  to  satisfy  USG 
requirements  for  the  release  of  our  products  or 
to  supply  such 
product  candidates,  our  ability

future  business, 

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 
Centers  for  Disease  Control  and  Prevention  (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 

39 

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.

trials  of  product  candidates  are 
expensive  and  time-consuming,  and  their  outcome  is 
uncertain.  We  must  invest  substantial  amounts  of 
time  and  financial  resources  in  these  trials,  which 
may  not  yield  viable  products.  Failure  to  obtain 
candidates, 
regulatory  approval 
particularly  in  the  United  States,  could  materially 
and  adversely  affect  our  financial  resources,  which 
would  adversely  affect  our  business,

for  product 

Before  obtaining  regulatory  approval  or  other 
authorization  of  our  product  candidates,  we  and  our 
collaborative  partners,  where  applicable,  must 
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 
receive  regulatory  approval  for  a  product  candidate, 
include, among others: 

inability 

our 
quantities for use in trials; 

to  manufacture  sufficient

drug immunogenicity; 

lack  of  efficacy  of  product  candidates 
during trials; 

government  or  regulatory  restrictions  or 
delays; and 

greater than anticipated costs of trials. 

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 
the  extent  feasible  and  ethical,  applicants  must 
conduct post-marketing clinical studies, such as field 
studies  in  the  event  of  an  outbreak  or  act  of 
the  drug’s  safety  and 
bioterrorism, 
effectiveness.  It  is  possible  that  results  from  the 
animal  efficacy  studies  used  to  support  approval 
under  the  Animal  Rule  may  not  be  predictive  of  the 
actual efficacy of our product candidates in humans. 

to  assess 

Under  the  Public  Health  Service  Act  (the 
“PHSA”) and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic 
Act (the “FDCA”), the Secretary of HHS can contract 
to  purchase  MCMs  for  the  SNS  prior  to  FDA 
approval,  clearance,  or  other  authorization  of certain 
MCM  product  candidates.  If  the  USG  does  not 
provide  funding  for  and  procure  our  MCM  product 
candidates,  they  generally  will  have  to  be  approved 
by 
regulatory 
mechanisms  prior  to  sale  and  distribution  in  the

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 
significant  time  and  cost,  which  could  have  a 
material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  financial 
condition, operating results and cash flows. 

As  a  manufacturer  and  supplier  of  MCMs  and 
other  approved  products  to  the  USG  addressing 
PHTs,  we  must  comply  with  numerous  laws  and 
regulations  relating  to  the  procurement,  formation, 
administration  and  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.” 

government 

We may be subject to government investigations 
acquisition 
compliance  with 
of 
regulations.  USG  agencies  routinely  audit  and 
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 

41 

administrative 

and  penalties, 

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 
sanctions, 
including suspension or debarment from government 
contracting,  and suffer  significant  reputational  harm. 
The  loss  of  our  status  as  an  eligible  government 
contractor or significant fines or penalties associated 
with  contract  non-compliance  or  resulting  from 
investigations could have a material adverse effect on 
our business. 

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. 

labeling,  product 

Our  product  candidates  and 

the  activities 
associated  with  them  are  subject  to  extensive  FDA 
regulation  and  oversight.  This  includes,  but  is  not 
limited  to,  laws  and  regulations  governing  product 
testing, 
development,  product 
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  the  FDA  to  market  and  sell  any  of  our  future 
drug,  biologic,  or  vaccine  products,  we  will  be 
required  to  submit  a  New  Drug  Application  (an 
“NDA”) or Biologics License Application (a “BLA”) 
to  the  FDA.  Under  the  FDCA,  the  PHSA,  and  the 
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, the 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 

42

Even 

if  we  or  our  collaborators  obtain 
marketing approvals for our product candidates, the 
conditions  of  approvals  and  ongoing  regulation  of 
our products may limit how we manufacture, market 
and sell our products, which could materially impair 
our ability to generate revenue. 

Once marketing authorization has been granted, 
we  and  our  business  partners  will  remain  subject  to 
ongoing 
regulatory  oversight  of  our  medical 
products,  including  with  respect  to  labeling;  safety 
surveillance  and  reporting;  registration  and  listing 
requirements; CGMP and QSR requirements relating 
to  manufacturing,  quality  control,  quality  assurance, 
and  corresponding  maintenance  of  records  and 
documents;  advertising  and  promotional  activities; 
requirements regarding the distribution of samples to 
physicians  and  related  recordkeeping;  and  medical 
device design, development and manufacturing. 

restrictions 

The FDA and other agencies, including the U.S. 
Department  of  Justice  (“DOJ”)  and  the  HHS  Office 
of  Inspector  General  (“OIG”),  closely  regulate  and 
monitor  the  marketing  and  promotion  of  medical 
products to ensure that they are marketed in a manner 
consistent  with  the  FDA-approved  label.  For  drug 
products,  we  must  promote  the  product  in  a  manner 
consistent  with  the  full  prescribing  information  or, 
for  510(k)  cleared  devices,  consistent  with  the 
cleared  indication.  The FDA, DOJ, and  OIG impose 
stringent

and

uncleared  products  or  market  our  approved/cleared 
products  for  unapproved/  uncleared  indications,  we 
may  be  subject  to  enforcement  action.  Violations  of 
the  FDCA  and  other  statutes,  including  the  False 
Claims Act, relating to the promotion and advertising 
of  prescription  products  may  lead  to  investigations 
and enforcement actions alleging violations of federal 
and state health care fraud and abuse laws, as well as 
state consumer protection laws.

adverse  events  or  other  problems  with  our  products, 
manufacturing  partners  or  manufacturing  processes, 
or  failure  to  comply  with  regulatory  requirements, 
may result in various penalties and 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 
other remedies, including but not limited to: 

•

restrictions on such products, 
manufacturers or manufacturing processes; 

restrictions on the labeling or marketing of

or revenues; 

suspension or withdrawal of marketing

refusal to permit the import or export of our 
products; 

product seizure; and 

injunctions or the imposition of civil or 
criminal penalties. 

If  we  and  our  collaborators  are  not  able  to 
comply  with  post-approval  regulatory  requirements, 
we  could  have  the  marketing  approvals  for  our 
products withdrawn by regulatory authorities and our 
ability  to  market  and  sell  any  products  could  be 
limited,  which  could  adversely  affect  our  ability  to 
achieve  or  sustain  profitability.  Further,  the  cost  of 
compliance with post-approval regulations may have 
a  negative  effect  on  our  operating  results  and 
financial condition.

Any  product  candidate  for  which  we  or  our 
collaborators  obtain  marketing  approval  could  be 
subject to restrictions or withdrawal from the market

and 

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 
current  laws,  as  well  as  other  health  care  reform 
measures  that  may  be  adopted  in  the  future,  may 
result 
in  more  rigorous  coverage  criteria  and 
additional downward pressure on the price that we, or 
any  collaborators,  may  receive  for  any  approved 
products. 

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 
enacted  federal  and  state  legislation  designed  to, 
among other things, bring more transparency to drug 
pricing,  review  the  relationship  between  pricing  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  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 the FDA for review 
and approval.

to

such  as  pharmacy  benefit  managers,  and  such 
litigation may also involve drug manufacturers in the 
future.  These  measures  could  reduce  the  ultimate 
demand  for  our  products,  once  approved,  or  put 
pressure  on  our  product  pricing.  We  expect  that 
additional  state  and  federal  health  care  reform 
measures will be adopted in the future, any of which 
could  limit  the  amounts  that  federal  and  state 
governments  will  pay  for  health  care  products  and 
services,  which  could  result  in  reduced  demand  for 
our  product  candidates  or  additional  pricing 
pressures. 

If  we  fail  to  comply  with  foreign,  federal,  state 
and  local  health  care  laws,  including  fraud  and 
abuse  laws,  health  information  privacy  and  security

In the United States, 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. Federal and state 
laws designed to prevent fraud and abuse under these 
programs  prohibit  pharmaceutical  companies  from 
offering  valuable  items  or  services  to  customers  or 
potential customers to induce them to buy, prescribe, 
or  recommend  our  product  (the  so-called  “anti-
kickback” 
for 
discounts and certain other arrangements if specified 
requirements  are  met.  Other  federal  and  state  laws, 
and  similar  foreign  laws,  not  only  prohibit  us  from 
submitting  any  false  information  to  government 
reimbursement  programs  but  also  prohibit  us,  our 
employees,  or  any  third  party  acting  on  our  behalf 
from  doing  anything  to  cause,  assist,  or  encourage 
our  customers  to  submit  false  claims  for  payment  to 
these  programs.  We  are  also  subject  to  various 
federal,  state  and  foreign  antitrust  and  competition 
laws that prohibit certain activities that may have an 
impact  against  potential  competitors.  Violations  of 
the  various  fraud  and  abuse  and  antitrust  laws  may 
result  in  severe  penalties  against  the  responsible 
employees  and  us,  including  jail  sentences,  large 
fines,  and  the  exclusion  of  our  products  from

the 
imposition  of  penalties  or  sanctions  for  failing  to 
comply with applicable fraud and abuse and antitrust 
laws,  could  adversely  affect  us  and  may  have  a 
material  adverse  effect  on  our  business,  results  of 
operations, financial condition and cash flows. 

If  we  fail  to  comply  with  our  obligations  under 
U.S.  governmental  pricing  programs,  we  could  be 
required  to  reimburse  government  programs  for 
underpayments  and  could  pay  penalties,  sanctions 
and fines. 

The 

issuance  of  regulations  and  coverage 
expansion by various governmental agencies relating 
to  the  Medicaid  rebate  program  will  continue  to 
increase our costs and the complexity of compliance 
and  will  be  time-consuming.  Because  we  participate 

in  the  Medicaid  rebate  program,  we  are  required  to 
report  average  sales  price  (“ASP”),  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  CMS  binding 
guidance  could  affect  the  ASP  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 
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 
and  regulations  governing 
the  Medicaid  rebate 
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. 

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 
or  knowing  provision  of  false 
in 
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 

information 

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 
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 
these  programs. 
increased  payments  made  by 
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. 

To  be  eligible  to  have  our  products  paid  for  or 
reimbursed  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 to all federal 
purchasers.  In  addition,  for  the  “Big  Four”  federal 
agencies—the  DVA,  the  DoD,  the  PHS  (including 
the Indian Health Service), and the Coast Guard—we 
must make covered drugs available  at pricing that is 
capped at the statutory federal ceiling price (“FCP”). 
The FCP is calculated  using the formula  set forth in 
Section 603 of the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992 
(the  “VHCA”)  and  based  on  a  weighted  average 
wholesale  price  known  as  the  Non-Federal  Average 
Manufacturer 
(“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 Tricare program agreements, whether 
due to a misstated FCP or otherwise, we are required 
to disclose the error and refund the difference  to the 
to  make  necessary 
government.  The 
disclosures  and/or  to  identify  contract  overcharges 
can  result  in  allegations  against  us  under  the  False

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, 
(and 
CYFENDUS®,  prior  to  its  approval  by  the  FDA)  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.  The FDA 
also has the authority to permit the emergency use of 
medical products that have not yet been approved by

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®. 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 
the  ability  of 
certain 
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 
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 
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.

In addition, the sale of unapproved products also 
could  give  rise  to  product  liability  claims  for  which 
we  may  not  be

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 alleging, 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

The  FDA  is  authorized  to  inspect  domestic  and

Health  Canada  may  conduct  similar  inspections  of 
our  domestic  and  foreign  facilities  where  products 
offered  and  sold  in  Canada  are  produced,  or  related

FDA,  Health  Canada,  and  other  foreign  regulatory

regulatory  authorities  have

of which are being, or have been, addressed through

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 
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

in  a  manner  that  violates,  the  U.S.  Foreign  Corrupt 
Practices  Act  (the  “FCPA”),  the  U.K.  Bribery  Act, 
Canada’s Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act,

member,  political  party  or  party  official,  or  political

Many  countries,  including  the  United  States, 
also  have  various  lobbying  laws  and  regulations 
governing  the  conduct  of  individuals  and  companies 
who  interact  with  government  officials.  These  laws 
and  regulations  typically  include  certain  restrictions 
and  disclosure  obligations.  If  we,  our  employees,  or 
third parties acting on our behalf do not comply with 
these laws and regulations, we may be subject to civil 
and criminal penalties. 

Many  countries,  including  the  United  States, 
restrict  the  export  or  import  of  products  to  or  from 
certain countries through, for example, bans, sanction 
programs,  and  boycotts.  Such  restrictions  may 
preclude  us  from  supplying  products  in  certain 
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

The development and commercialization of new 
biopharmaceutical  and  medical  technology  products 
is  highly  competitive  and 
rapid 
technological  advances.  We  will  continue  to  face 
future  competition 
from  other  companies  and 
governments,  universities  and  other  non-profit 
research organizations in respect to our products, any 
products 
that  we  acquire,  our  current  product 
candidates and any products we may seek to develop 
or  commercialize  in  the  future.  The  market  for 
products  can  be  subject  to  development  of  safer, 
more  effective,  more  convenient  or  less  costly 
products.  The  market  for  current  products  can  also 
depend  on  what  resources  can  be  devoted 
to 
marketing or selling products, or how companies are 
positioned 
to  new 
technologies,  respond 
to  scientific  advances  or 
patient  preferences  and  needs,  initiate  or  withstand 
substantial  price  competition  and/or  procure  third-
party licensing and collaborative arrangements.

to 

There  are  a  number  of  companies  with  products 
or  product  candidates  addressing  PHT  preparedness 
that are competing with us for both USG procurement 
and  development  resources.  Factors 
to  consider 
include  competitors’  financial,  technical,  marketing 
and selling resources as well as potential leverage that 
their intellectual property estates may offer. 

Any  reduction  in  demand  for  our  products  or 
reduction  or  loss  of  development  funding  for  our 
products or product candidates in favor of a competing 
product  could  lead  to  a  loss  of  market  share  for  our 
products  and  cause  reduced  revenues,  margins  and 
levels  of  profitability  for  us,  which  could  adversely 
affect  our  business,  financial  condition,  operating 
results and cash flows.

face  risks  of 

Biological  products  and  product  candidates, 
which  we  refer  to  as  “Biologic  Products,”  can  be 
affected by the approval and entry of “biosimilars” in 
the  United  States  and  other  jurisdictions.  Biosimilar 
products are licensed through an abbreviated pathway 

53 

based on a showing that they are “highly similar” to a 
previously  licensed  product  (known  as  the  reference 
product)  notwithstanding  minor  differences 
in 
clinically  inactive  components,  and  there  are  no 
clinically  meaningful  differences  from  the  reference 
product  in  terms  of  safety,  purity,  and  potency. 
Biologic  Products  in  our  current  pipeline  include 
CYFENDUS®,  BioThrax®,  and  ACAM2000®.  If  a 
biosimilar  version  of  one  of  our  Biologic  Products 
were  approved,  it  could  have  a  material  adverse 
effect  on  the  sales  and  gross  profits  of  the  affected 
Biologic  Product  and  could  adversely  affect  our 
business,  financial  condition,  operating  results  and 
cash flows. 

NARCAN®  (naloxone  HCl)  Nasal  Spray  is 
currently subject to generic and branded competition 
and  may  be  subject  to  additional  generic  and 
branded  competition  in  the  future.  If  demand  for 
over-the-counter  NARCAN®  Nasal  Spray  outpaces 
current estimations, there could be supply challenges 
to meet demand. 

NARCAN®  Nasal  Spray  was  approved  as  an 
over-the-counter  (“OTC”)  medication  on  March  29, 
2023.  The  new  OTC  product  was  shipped  out  to 
retailers  and  e-commerce  providers  nationwide  in 
August  of  2023.  Emergent  is  prepared  to  supply  all 
segments/  customers  of  the  business  with  OTC 
product.  If  demand  for  NARCAN®  Nasal  Spray 
increases  beyond  our  current  estimates,  there  could 
be supply interruptions. Should this occur, Emergent 
has contingency plans to continue to provide product 
to  those  at  the  highest  need  and  increase  production 
to meet the new demand. 

NARCAN® Nasal Spray currently faces generic 
In  2016,  Teva  Pharmaceuticals 
competition. 
Industries  Limited  and  Teva  Pharmaceuticals  USA 
(collectively,  “Teva”)  filed  an  Abbreviated  New 
Drug  Application  (an  “ANDA”)  seeking  regulatory 
approval  to  market  a  generic  version  of  NARCAN® 
Nasal  Spray.  In  patent  litigation  related  to  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  state 
settlements,  including  in  Florida,  Texas,  Rhode 
Island, and West Virginia, Teva has agreed to supply 
Medication-Assisted Treatment (“MAT”) and generic 

opioid  overdose  reversal  agents,  like  naloxone,  to 
states  at  no  cost  in  lieu  of  additional  monetary 
compensation.  The  terms  of  these  product  donation 
agreements stretch 10 to 15 years. NARCAN® Nasal 
Spray  also  faces  generic  competition  from  Padagis 
LLC  (“Padagis”).  Prior  to  Padagis’  separation  from 
Perrigo  UK  FINCO  Limited  Partnership  (“Perrigo”) 
in  2021,  Perrigo  filed  its  own  ANDA  for  generic 
naloxone nasal spray in 2018. Emergent settled with 
Perrigo on February 12, 2020 providing for a license 
effective  upon  the  Teva  litigation  decision.  In  June 
2022,  the  FDA  approved  the  ANDA  and  Padagis 
launched  its  prescription  generic  naloxone  nasal 
spray.  On  July  18,  2023  the  FDA  approved  an 
Rx-to-OTC  switch  of  Padagis’  product.  In  March 
2023,  Amneal  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  (“Amneal”) 
announced  that  the  FDA  had  accepted  for  review 
Amneal’s ANDA for generic naloxone nasal spray. 

Sales  of  generic  versions  of  NARCAN®  Nasal 
Spray  at  prices  lower  than  our  branded  product  or 
provided  at  no  cost  by  Teva,  Padagis  and  Amneal 
(pending  approval)  have  the  potential  to  erode  our 
sales and could impact our product revenue related to 
NARCAN® Nasal Spray. 

NARCAN®  Nasal  Spray  also  faces  branded 
competition  from  RiVive™  (naloxene  HCl  nasal 
spray  3mg),  a  branded  product  developed  by  Harm 
Reduction  Therapeutics;  Kloxxado™  (naloxone  HCl

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 

54 

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. 

We  may  not  be  able  to  obtain  orphan  drug 
exclusivity  for  product  candidates  we  may  develop, 
and  even  if  we  do,  that  exclusivity  may  not  prevent 
the  FDA  or  foreign  regulatory  authorities  from 
approving other competing products. 

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  indication  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, the 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  indication.  In  addition,  even  after  a  product 
receives  orphan  drug  exclusivity,  the  FDA  can 
subsequently approve the same product for the same 
indication  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 
the  approval  of  such 
subsequent  product.  Additionally,  the  FDA  may 
revoke  orphan  drug  designation 
the  FDA 
determines that the request for designation contained 
an untrue statement of material fact, omitted material 
information,  or  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.

Potential  loss  of  proprietary  information  and

types  of  proprietary  confidential

protect this confidential information, in part, through 
agreements  with  our  employees,  consultants,  and 
third parties, as well as through internal policies and

Certain  of  our  products  are  approved  as  drug 
products  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 
results  of 
financial  condition  and 
business, 
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  manufacture 
CYFENDUS®  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  necessary  to  produce 
NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray, such as the 
naloxone  active  pharmaceutical  ingredient  and  other 
excipients, along with the vial, stopper and device. 

to  meet  our  needs 

Where 

single-source 

a  particular 

supply 
relationship  is  terminated,  we  may  not  be  able  to 
establish  additional  or  replacement  suppliers  for 
certain  components  or  materials  quickly.  This  is 
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 

56 

regulatory  approval 
for  or  commercialize  our 
product  candidates  and,  as  a  result,  our  business, 
financial condition, operating results and cash flows 
may suffer. 

LEGAL AND REPUTATIONAL RISKS 

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

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 
regulatory 
application.  In addition,  these  organizations  may not 
complete these activities on our anticipated or desired 
timeframe. We also may experience unexpected cost 
increases that are beyond our control. Problems with 
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 
and 
or  prevent 
commercialization of our product candidates.

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 
indeterminate  amounts  of 
for  substantial  and 
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.

Regardless of merit, litigation can be both time-
consuming and disruptive to our operations and cause 
significant  expense  and  diversion  of  management’s 

compensatory,  punitive  or 

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 
amounts  above  management’s  expectations,  our 
financial  condition  and  operating  results  for  that

products  and  services,  all  of  which  could  materially

Our  business  is  increasingly  dependent  on

Internet-based

internal and external communications. We previously 
the  USG  and  pharmaceutical 
contracted  with 
companies for the development and manufacture of a 
significant  quantity  of  COVID-19  vaccines,  which 
raised  our  security  profile  and  heightened  potential 
risks  that  malicious  actors  may  seek  to  disrupt  our 
systems  or  misappropriate  our  information.  The  size 
and complexity of our computer systems and those of 
many  of  our  business  partners,  collaborators  and 
other  third  parties  make  them  potentially  vulnerable 
to 
viruses, 
destruction,  unauthorized  or  malicious  intrusion  and 
additional related disruptions, which may result in the 
impairment  of  production  and  key  business 
processes.  Our  systems  and  information  are  also 
potentially  vulnerable  to  cyber  security  incidents 
through  user  error,  phishing  scams,  or  malfeasance,

employees,  business  partners,  collaborators  or  other

our  business  partners  and  collaborators  have  in  the 
past  been,  and  in  the  future  likely  will  be  subject  to 
computer  viruses,  malicious  codes,  unauthorized 
access and other cyber security incidents. We are not 
aware of any significant impact on our operations or 
financial  results  from  such  incidents  although,  as  of 
the date of this report, we are assessing the potential 
impact of a cyber security incident involving misuse 
of  authorized  access  by  a  business  partner  of  which 
we became aware in October 2023. 

No  system  of  protection  is  adequate  to  protect 
against all such threats, even if they are deemed to be 
industry standard, and there can be no assurance that 
we  will  be  able  to  repel  any  such  attacks.  Cyber 
security  incidents  could  lead  to  the  loss  of  trade 
secrets  or  other  intellectual  property  or  the  public 
exposure of personal information, including sensitive 
personal information, of our employees, clinical trial 
patients,  customers  and  others.  Responding  to  any 
such  threats  may  also  be  expensive  and  time-
consuming.  Any  such  unauthorized  access  to  our 
information,  whether  through  an  incident  involving 
our  information  technology  systems  or  those  of  our 
business partners, collaborators or other third parties, 
could  disrupt  our  business  operations,  result  in  the 
loss  of  assets,  and  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on 
our  reputation,  business,  financial  condition,  or 
results  of  operations.  While 
the  Company  has 
experienced  non-material  cyber  incidents  involving 
third-party vendors, the Company’s continued use of 
third  parties  in  its  business  yields  the  potential  for 
material  cyber  security  incidents  that  may  harm

injury to our reputation; 

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 
namely  BioThrax®,  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. 

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 
liabilities.

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 
including  NARCAN®  (naloxone  HCl) 
products, 
Nasal  Spray,  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

Our  hedging  programs  have  been,  and  any 
hedging  program  we  initiate  in  the  future  will  be, 
subject to counterparty default risk. 

From time to time, 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,  when  we  are  party  to  such 
interest  rate  swaps,  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, 
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 
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,  2023,  we  had  unrestricted

Facility  of  $80.3  million.  Also  as  of  December  31, 
2023,  there  was  $219.2  million  outstanding  on  our 
Revolving  Credit  Facility  and $198.2 million  on our 
Term Loan Facility that mature in May 2025. We are

not  in  compliance  with  certain  provisions  of  the 
Senior Credit Facilities, most notably that we comply 
with  the  minimum  consolidated  EBITDA  covenant 
and that our financial statements not contain a “going 
concern” qualification. In addition, it is unlikely that 
we will be able to comply with the requirement in the 
Credit Agreement Amendment (as define below) that 
we  raise  not  less  than  $75.0  million  through  the 
issuance  of  equity  and/or  unsecured  indebtedness  by 
April 30, 2024. As a result, 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 included in 
this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  were  issued.  On 
February  29,  2024,  the  requisite  lenders  under  the 
Senior  Credit  Facilities  agreed  to  enter  into  the 
Forbearance  Agreement  and  Amendment  to,  among 
other  things,  (a)  provide  that  the  Administrative 
Agent  and  the  Lenders  forbear  from  exercising  all 
rights  and  remedies  under 
the  Existing  Credit 
Agreement  and  the  other  related  loan  documents 
arising  from  the  occurrence  and  continuation  of 
certain  specified  events  of  default  during  a

(the  “Forbearance  Period”) 
between  the  forbearance  effective  date  until  the

compliance  with  debt  covenants  in  future  periods 
without  additional  sources  of  liquidity  or  future

substantial additional funding in connection with our 
continuing operations, which cannot be assured. 

indebtedness 

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  or  collaboration 
and licensing arrangements. In August 2021, we filed 

a  shelf  registration  statement,  which  immediately 
became effective under SEC rules. As a result of the 
delayed filing of certain of our periodic reports with 
the SEC, we are not currently eligible to register the 
offer  and  sale  of  our  securities  using  the  shelf 
registration  statement  and  we  will  not  become 
eligible  until  we  have  timely  filed  certain  periodic 
reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 
1934 for 12 consecutive calendar months. There can 
be no assurance that we will be eligible to file a shelf 
registration  statement  or  to  have  such  a  shelf 
registration  statement  become  effective  after  such 
period,  which  may  inhibit  our  ability  to  access  the 
capital markets to raise funds.

In  accordance  with  GAAP,  we  are  required  to 
assess the value of our intangible assets and goodwill

potential 
changes 
impairment,  such  as  changing  market  conditions  or 
any  changes  in  key  assumptions.  If  the  testing 
performed  indicates  that  an  asset  may  not  be 
recoverable,  we  are  required  to  record  a  non-cash 
impairment  charge  for  the  difference  between  the 
carrying value of the asset and its implied fair value 
in the period the determination is made. 

We  also  periodically  monitor  the  remaining  net 
book values of our property, plant and equipment, or 
whenever  events  or  changes 
in  circumstances 
indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  group 
may not be recoverable. For example, we performed 
recoverability tests on certain asset groups within the 
Bioservices  reporting  unit  during  the  three  months 
ended June 30, 2023, and allocated and recognized a 
non-cash impairment charge of $306.7 million during 
the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2023  related  to 
certain Bioservices long-lived assets. 

In addition, we annually perform a goodwill 
impairment evaluation, during the fourth quarter, or 
sooner if triggering events are identified. During the 
three months ended September 30, 2023 as a result of 
continued market volatility, including significant 
declines in our market capitalization and revised 
financial outlook, we determined that a triggering 
event had occurred that required an evaluation of our 
goodwill for potential impairment. As a result of the 
quantitative assessments, we determined that our 
goodwill, which related to the MCM reporting unit 
within the Products segment, was fully impaired and 
recorded a $218.2 million non-cash goodwill 
impairment charge during the three months ended 
September 30, 2023. 

We  have  a  significant  amount  of  intangible 
assets  and  property,  plant  and  equipment  on  our 
balance  sheet.  The  impairment  tests  require  us  to 

62 

make  an  estimate  of  the  fair  value  of  our  reporting 
units. An impairment could be recorded as a result of 
changes  in  assumptions,  estimates  or  circumstances, 
some  of  which  are  beyond  our  control.  Since  a 
number  of  factors  may  influence  determinations  of 
fair  value,  we  are  unable 
to  predict  whether 
impairments  of  intangible  assets  and  property,  plant 
and  equipment  will  occur  in  the  future,  and  we  can 
provide  no  assurance  that  continued  conditions  will 
not  result  in  future  impairments  of  these  assets.  The 
future  occurrence  of  a  potential 
indicator  of 
impairment  could  include  matters  such  as  (i)  a 
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 
or  assessment  by  a  regulator.  Any  such  impairment 
would  result  in  us  recognizing  a  non-cash  charge  in 
our  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets,  which  could 
adversely  affect  our  business,  results  of  operations 
and financial condition. 

The accuracy of our financial reporting depends 
on  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over 
financial  reporting.  We  have  identified  material 
weaknesses  in  our  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting  and  have  restated  prior  period  financial 
statements  that  resulted  from  one  of  these  material 
weaknesses, which may raise questions regarding the 
accuracy  and  reliability  of  our  financial  statements 
and our ability to report accurately in the future. 

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

in 
connection  with  the  preparation  of  the  financial 
statements  as  of  and 
the  periods  ended 
September  30,  2023,  we  determined  that  we  had  a 
material  weakness  related  to  the  calculation  and 
review  of  the  Company’s  net  state  deferred  tax 
liability  and  that  this  material  weakness  had  existed 
as  of  December  31,  2022  and  resulted  in  a  material 
misstatement to our consolidated financial statements 
for the period ended December 31, 2022. Due to the 

inventory  accounting.  Subsequently, 

for 

existence  of 
these  material  weaknesses,  our 
management concluded that as of December 31, 2022 
our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  was  not 
effective and we were required to restate the financial 
statements  included  in  our  Original  Form  10-K  and 
filing  Amendment  No.  1  to  the  Original  Form  10-K 
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. 

statements 

adjustments 

We  determined  that  we  remediated  our  internal 
weakness  with  respect  to  inventory  accounting  as  of 
March 31, 2023 and we are taking steps to remediate 
the  material  weakness  related  to  the  calculation  and 
review  of  the  Company’s  net  state  deferred  tax 
liability.  In  addition,  we  have  restated  our  financial 
statements  for  the  fiscal  year  ended  December  31, 
2022  to  correct  the  errors  that  were  identified  as  a 
the  material  weakness  regarding  our 
result  of 
calculation  and  review  of  the  Company’s  net  state 
deferred  tax  liability,  and  corrected  other  unrelated 
errors  that  were  either  unrecorded  or  addressed  as 
filed 
out-of-period 
in  previously 
financial 
that  were  not  material, 
individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  to  those  financial 
statements.  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  regarding  state 
deferred  taxes  that  we  have  identified,  or  to  avoid 
additional material weaknesses from occurring in the 
future.  The  material  weaknesses  in  our  internal 
control  over  financial  reporting  and  the  restatement 
of our prior financial statements may raise significant 
questions  regarding  the  accuracy  and  reliability  of 
our filed financial statements and our ability to report 
in an accurate and timely manner in the future. These 
material  weaknesses  and  resulting  errors  in  our 
financial  statements,  or  those  that  may  occur  in  the 
future, could have an adverse effect on our ability to 
meet  our  reporting  obligations,  which  could  cause 
our  investors  to  lose  confidence  in  our  publicly 
reported  information,  cause  the  market  price  of  our 
stock  to  decline,  harm  our  reputation,  business  and 
financial  results,  and  expose  us  to  stockholder 
litigation and sanctions or investigations by the SEC 
or other regulatory authorities. 

The  expansion  of  our  international  operations 

increases our risk of exposure to credit losses. 

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

economic  conditions  or  otherwise,  our  exposure  to 
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 
to 
re-evaluate 
the  collectability  of  our  accounts

that materially impact our operating results.

and  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

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

company  or  product, 
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. 

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. 

Issues  that  could  delay  or  prevent  successful 
integration  or cost synergies of an acquired business 
or products include, among others:

We  may  not  realize  the  expected  benefits  of the 
sale of our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic. 

On May 15, 2023, pursuant to the Purchase and 
Sale  Agreement,  we  completed 
the  previously 
announced  sale  to  Bavarian  Nordic  of  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 $270.2 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  milestone 
payments  of  up  to  $30.0  million  based  on  aggregate 
net sales of Vaxchora® and Vivotif® in calendar year

There  can  be  no  assurance  that  we  will  be  able 
to  realize  in  full  the  expected  benefits  of  the

transaction, it could adversely affect our business and 
financial position. 

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 
stockholders. 

practices, 

executive 

In  recent  years,  some  stockholders  have  placed 
increasing  pressure  on  publicly  traded  companies  in 
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  environmental,  social,  and  corporate 
governance (“ESG”) factors. These investors may be 
seeking  enhanced  ESG  disclosures  or  to  implement 
policies  adverse  to  our  business.  There  can  be  no 
assurances 
that  stockholders  will  not  publicly 
advocate  for  us  to  make  corporate  governance 
changes  or  engage  in  certain  corporate  actions. 
Responding to challenges from stockholders, 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  of  directors,  which  could  have  an 
adverse  effect  on  our  business  and  operational 
results.  Any  such  stockholder  actions  or  requests,  or 
the  mere  public  presence  of  stockholders  with  a 
reputation for taking such actions among our investor 
base,  could  also  cause  the  market  price  of  our 
common  stock  to  experience  periods  of  significant 
volatility. 

Provisions  in  our  certificate  of  incorporation

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. 

66 

Our  board  of  directors  may  adopt  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 adopt a stockholder 
rights plan without stockholder approval, which may 
have  anti-takeover  effects,  potentially  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

including 

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  December  31, 
2023,  our  common  stock  has  traded  as  high  as 
$137.61 per share and as low as $1.81 per share. The 
market price of our common stock may be influenced 
by many factors, including, among others: 

•

•

•

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

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; 

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  sales  of  our  common  stock  or  other 
securities  convertible  into  common  stock,  or  the 
perception  that  such  sales or issuances  could occur, 
could result in dilution of our stockholders and could 
cause our share price to decline. 

Our  board  of  directors  is  authorized,  without 
stockholder  approval,  to  cause  us  to  issue  additional 
shares  of  our  common  stock  or  to  raise  capital 
through the issuance of preferred shares or the sale of 
debt  securities  that  are  convertible  into  common 
stock,  options,  warrants  and  other  rights,  on  terms 
and for consideration  as our board of directors  in its 
sole discretion may determine. In addition, under the 
Credit  Agreement  Amendment,  we  are  required  to 
increase our liquidity by April 30, 2024 by raising at 
least  $75  million  of 
equity  or  unsecured 
indebtedness.  We  also  require  substantial  additional 
funding to be able to continue as a going concern and 
we may seek to achieve such funding through future 
sales  of  our  common  stock  or  other  securities 

67 

convertible 
into  our  common  stock.  Sales  of 
substantial  amounts  of  our  common  stock  or  the 
issuance  of  preferred  shares,  convertible  debt, 
options,  restricted  stock  units,  performance  stock 
units, warrants and other rights, or the perception that 
such  sales  or  issuances  could  occur  could  cause  the 
market  price  of  our  common  stock  to  decrease 
significantly.  As  of  December  31,  2023,  we  had 
52,167,256  shares  of  common  stock  issued  and 
outstanding.  We  cannot  predict  the  effect,  if  any,  of 
future  sales  of  our  common  stock  or  any  preferred 
shares, convertible debt securities, options, restricted 
stock  units,  performance  stock  units,  warrants  or 
other  rights  or  the  availability  of  our  common  stock 
for future sales on the value of our common stock. 

GENERAL RISK FACTORS 

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. 

there  may  be  changes 

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.  From  time  to 
time, 
in  our  senior 
management  team  resulting  from  the  hiring  or 
departure of executives. For example, we hired a new 
Chief  Executive  Officer  in  February  2024.  Our  new 
Chief  Executive  Officer  will  be  critical  to  executing 
on  and  achieving  our  vision,  strategic  direction,  and 
business  objectives.  If  we  are  unable  to  successfully 
transition  leadership  to  our  new  Chief  Executive 
Officer,  our  business,  results  of  operations  and 
financial  conditions  could  be  adversely  affected.  In 
addition,  we  face  intense  competition  for  qualified 
companies, 
from  biopharmaceutical 
employees 
research  organizations  and  academic  institutions. 
Attracting,  retaining  or  replacing  these  personnel  on 
acceptable 
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 

terms  may  be  difficult  and 

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.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY 

CYBERSECURITY 

The Company’s cybersecurity program is aligned and integrated into the overall company risk management 
process through its Enterprise Risk Management Program (“ERM”). At Emergent, ERM is a centralized process 
that prioritizes, and groups the top risks to our organization into 12 categories, one of which is Cybersecurity. We 
conduct an Enterprise Risk Assessment (“ERA”) annually to proactively identify, assess, respond, monitor, and 
report risks to our enterprise. Identified risks are assessed and we accordingly will either accept the risk or take 
action  to  reduce  or  avoid  the  risk.  Mitigations  against  risks  are  developed,  as  necessary,  and  all  risks  are 
monitored, reviewed quarterly, and reported to executive leadership and the Board of Directors. 

The  ERM  program  and  ERA  process  is  described  in  the  company’s  Enterprise  Risk  Management  Policy 
which  was  released  this  year.  The  program  includes  enterprise  level  risks  grouped  in  12  risk  categories. 
Cybersecurity  is  included  as  a  standing  risk  category.  The  ERM  program  does  not  itself  independently  review 
cybersecurity  policies  and  practices.  In  first  quarter  2024,  ERM,  in  collaboration  with  Emergent’s  Policy  and 
Training  Center  of  Excellence,  provided  training  on  Emergent’s  Enterprise  Risk  Management  Policy  to  all 
employees  who  are  at  the  vice  president  level  and  above.  We  are  currently  working  on  an  all-employee 
awareness communication to further educate the full employee population about the ERM program, policy and 
intranet page. Timing for this communication is expected in first half of 2024. Annually, an ERM training will be 
provided  to  all  participants  in  advance  of  the  Company’s  annual  ERA. Full  retraining  on  the  ERM  policy  will 
occur  every  three  years.  The  Company  leverages  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations’(“COSO”) 
guidelines as the foundation for our ERM program and leverage external expertise. 

The Company proactively reviews threats landscape, impacts to the company, and address any gaps where 
necessary. Also, we maintain security operations metrics, incident response plan and conduct tabletop exercises. 
The Company engages outside consultants to review both its Cybersecurity posture, and maturity, and perform 
for a cyber assessments of the Company’s manufacturing/  operational technology environments. The Company 
has a process in place to oversee and identify material risks from cybersecurity threats associated with its use of 
any  third-party  service  provider,  namely  its  Third-Party  Risk  Management  Assessment  Process.  We  utilize  the 
NIST framework when assessing third parties. The framework covers 23 categories. When applicable, we may 
request if the third party vendor is SOC1/2, GDPRS, certified. 

The Company’s Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) is responsible for assessing and managing the 
Cybersecurity  risks  with  comprehensive  oversight  of  information  security  functions  with  an  emphasis  on 
strategic  leadership,  governance,  risk  management  and  technical  proficiency.  Moreover,  the  Company’s  CISO 
provides cyber security updates to the entire board of directors and the board’s Quality Compliance Management 
Risk Committee (the “Committee”). The purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight 
responsibilities  relating  to  the  Company’s  compliance  with  laws,  regulations,  and  industry  standards  that,  if 
breached,  may  cause  significant  business,  regulatory,  or  reputational  damage  to  the  Company,  including 
oversight of the Company’s: 

• Compliance  with  good  (“x”  =  manufacturing,  clinical,  laboratory,  pharmacovigilance,  storage, 

distribution etc.) (GxP) and medical device Quality Systems Regulations (QSR); 

• Healthcare  compliance,  anti-corruption,  privacy  and  data  security  landscape,  medical  product  safety, 
supply  chain,  employee  health  and  safety,  political  expenditures  and  lobbying  activities,  and 
government contracting; 

69 

• Enterprise Risk Management program; 

• Cyber and information security risks.

other  financial  information  included  elsewhere  in  this  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  (the  “Annual  Report”). 
Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Annual Report, 
including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business and financing, includes forward-
looking  statements  that  involve  risks  and  uncertainties.  You  should  carefully  review  the  “Cautionary  Note 
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” sections of this Annual Report for a discussion of 
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by 
the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. 

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 services (“CDMO”) portfolio. 

We are currently focused on the following four PHT categories: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear 
and  explosives  (“CBRNE”);  emerging  infectious  diseases  (“EID”);  public  health  crises;  and  acute,  emergency 
and  community  care.  We  have  a  product  portfolio  of  12  products  that  contribute  a  substantial  portion  of  our 
revenue and are sold to government  and commercial  customers.  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  which  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  four  product  and  service  categories:  Anthrax—Medical 
Countermeasures  (“MCM”)  Products,  NARCAN®,  Smallpox—MCM  products  and  Emergent  Bioservices 
(CDMO) services (“Bioservices”). In the fourth quarter of 2023, we realigned our reportable operating segments 
to reflect recent changes in our internal operating and reporting process. The revised reporting structure reflects 
the internal reporting and review process used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker, for making decisions and 
assessing  performance,  and  is  consistent  with  how  we  currently  manage  the  business.  We  now  manage  our 
business  with  a  focus  on  three  reportable  segments:  (1)  a  Commercial  Products  segment  consisting  of  our 
NARCAN® and Other Commercial Products; (2) a MCM Products segment consisting of the Anthrax—MCM, 
Smallpox—MCM and Other Products and (3) a Services segment consisting of our Bioservices offerings. 

Commercial Products Segment:

product manufacturing (also referred to as “fill/finish” services) and packaging; development services including 
technology  transfer,  process  and  analytical  development  services;  and,  when  necessary,  suite  reservation 
obligations.  These  services,  which  we  refer  to  as  “molecule-to-market”  offerings,  employ  diverse  technology 
platforms  (mammalian,  microbial,  viral  and  plasma)  across  a  network  of  eight  geographically  distinct 
development and manufacturing sites operated by us for our internal products and pipeline candidates and third-
party  Bioservices.  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. In August 2023, we initiated an organizational restructuring plan (the “August 2023 Plan”) which 
included actions to reduce investment in and de-emphasize focus on our Bioservices business. 

Other Strategic Activities 

January 2023 Organizational Restructuring Plan 

In  January  2023,  the  Company  initiated  an  organizational  restructuring  plan  (the  “January  2023  Plan”) 
intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing 
commitment  to  profitable  growth.  As  part  of  the  January  2023  Plan,  the  Company  reduced  its  workforce  by 
approximately 125 employees. The Company incurred approximately $9.3 million in charges in connection with 
the  January  2023  Plan  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2023.  These  charges  consist  primarily  of  charges 
related  to  employee  transition,  severance  payments  and employee  benefits.  All activities  related  to the January 
2023 Plan were substantially completed during the first quarter of 2023. 

Sale of Travel Health Business to Bavarian Nordic 

On May 15, 2023, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), by 
and  between  the  Company,  through  its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  Emergent  International  Inc.  and  Emergent 
Travel  Health  Inc.,  and  Bavarian  Nordic,  the  Company  completed  the  previously  announced  sale  of  the 
Company’s  travel  health  business,  including  rights  to  Vivotif®,  the  licensed  typhoid  vaccine;  Vaxchora®,  the 
licensed  cholera  vaccine;  the  development-stage  chikungunya  vaccine  candidate  CHIKV  VLP;  the  Company’s 
manufacturing site in Bern, Switzerland; and certain of its development facilities in San Diego, California. 

At  the  closing,  Bavarian  Nordic  paid  a  cash  purchase  price  of  $270.2  million,  exclusive  of  customary 
closing adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses of the business at closing. 
Bavarian  Nordic  may  also  be  required  to  pay  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 
earn-out payments of up to $30.0 million based on aggregate net sales of Vaxchora and Vivotif in calendar year 
2026. 

76 

As  a  result  of  the  divestiture,  the  Company  recognized  a  pre-tax  gain  of  $74.2  million  during  year  ended 
December  31,  2023,  net  of  transaction  costs  of  $4.0  million,  which  was  recorded  within  “Gain  on  sale  of 
business” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

FDA Approval of CYFENDUS® 

On  July  20,  2023,  the  FDA  approved  CYFENDUS®  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 December 2018, CYFENDUS® vaccine was the subject 
of  a  pre-emergency  use  authorization  package  submitted  to  the  FDA.  The  following  year,  the  USG  began 
procuring this product for national preparedness efforts. 

Ebanga™ Procurement Contract 

On July 31, 2023, the Company was awarded a 10-year contract by the Biomedical Advanced Research and 
Development  Authority  (“BARDA”)  for  advanced  development,  manufacturing  scale-up,  and  procurement  of 
Ebanga™  treatment  for  Ebola.  The  contract  consists  of  a  base  period  of  performance  with  two  option  periods 
valued  at  approximately  $121.0  million,  and  five  option  periods  for  procurement  of  Ebanga™  over  five  years 
valued at up to $583.0 million. If all option periods are exercised, the total contract value will be valued at up to 
approximately $704.0 million. 

Emergent  is  responsible  for  the  manufacturing,  sale,  and  distribution  of  Ebanga™  in  the  U.S. and  Canada 

pursuant to a collaboration agreement with Ridgeback, the developer of the treatment. 

Emergent paid Ridgeback $6.3 million in contingent consideration as a result of the award of the BARDA 
contract  in  the  third  quarter  of  2023.  In  addition,  the  Company  could  owe  up  to  $50.4  million  in  contingent 
consideration to Ridgeback if activities under the awarded contract have not ceased by June 1, 2026. 

August 2023 Organizational Restructuring Plan 

In August 2023, the Company initiated  the August 2023 Plan intended to strengthen its core business and 
financial  position  by  reducing  investment  in  and  de-emphasizing  focus  on  its  Bioservices  business  for  future 
growth. As part of the August 2023 Plan, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 400 employees. 
The Company incurred approximately $20.0 million in charges in connection with the August 2023 Plan during 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2023.  These  charges  consist  primarily  of  charges  related  to  severance  payments, 
transition  services,  and  employee  benefits.  All  activities  related  to  the  August  2023  Plan  were  substantially 
completed during the third quarter of 2023. 

Launch of NARCAN® Naloxone HCl Nasal Spray 4 mg Over-The-Counter (“NARCAN® OTC”) 

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company launched NARCAN® OTC, which was approved by the FDA as 
an over-the-counter emergency treatment of opioid overdose, broadening our customer base and sales channels to 
retail  pharmacies  and  digital  commerce  websites.  The  Company’s  Nasal  Naloxone  products  are  now  sold 
commercially over-the-counter at retail pharmacies and digital commerce websites as well as through physician-
directed or standing order prescriptions at retail pharmacies, health departments, local law enforcement agencies, 
community-based organizations, substance abuse centers and other federal agencies. 

2023 Triggering Events 

Long-Live Asset Impairment Testing 

The  Company  tests  its  long-lived  assets  that  are  held  and  used  for  recoverability  whenever  events  or 

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. 

77 

During the second quarter of 2023, due to deterioration in performance and resulting downward revisions to 
our  internal  Bioservices  forecast  made  during  the  second  quarter,  including  future  expected  cash  flows,  the 
Company  determined  there  were  sufficient  indicators  of  impairment  on  certain  asset  groups  within  the 
Bioservices reporting unit to require an impairment analysis. As a result, the Company performed recoverability 
tests on certain asset groups within the Bioservices reporting unit and concluded that the impacted asset groups 
were not recoverable as the undiscounted expected cash flows did not exceed their carrying values. 

Asset groups are written down only to the extent that their carrying value is higher than their respective fair 
value. The Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, applied valuation methods to estimate 
the fair values for each of the assets within the different asset classes. For the intangible assets, an option pricing 
model was applied to estimate the assets’ fair value. An orderly liquidation value was applied to estimate the fair 
value  of  the  personal  property  assets  and  market  and  cost  based  approaches  were  applied  to  estimate  the  fair 
value of the real property assets, each representing Level 3 non-recurring fair value measurements. Based on this 
analysis, the Company allocated and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $306.7 million during the year 
ended December 31, 2023. 

Goodwill Impairment Testing 

The Company performs its goodwill impairment evaluation annually, during the fourth quarter, or sooner if 
triggering  events  are  identified.  During  the  third  quarter  of  2023,  the  Company  observed  continued  market 
volatility  including  significant  declines  in  its  market  capitalization  and  revised  its  financial  outlook  during  the 
third quarter, which was identified as a triggering event. As a result of the quantitative assessments performed in 
connection with the preparation of the financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, 
the Company recorded a $218.2 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the MCM reporting unit within 
the Products segment, which is included in “Goodwill impairment” on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of 
Operations  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2023.  The  MCM  reporting  unit  and  Products  segment  had  no 
remaining goodwill as of December 31, 2023. The goodwill impairment charge resulted from a reduction in the 
estimated  fair  value  of  the  MCM  reporting  unit  due  to  changes  in  the  risk  profile  of  the  Company  as  well  as 
revisions  to  the  long-term  operating  plan  that  reflected  lower  expectations  for  growth  and  profitability  than 
previous expectations. The Company used a quantitative assessment, utilizing an income-based (discounted cash 
flows) approach, Level 3 non-recurring fair value measurement, for our goodwill impairment testing. 

FINANCIAL OPERATIONS OVERVIEW 

Revenues 

We  generate  Commercial  Product  revenues  through  sale  of  NARCAN®  Nasal  Spray,  which  is  sold 
commercially over-the-counter at retail pharmacies and digital commerce websites as well as through physician-
directed or standing order prescriptions at retail pharmacies, health departments, local law enforcement agencies, 
community-based  organizations,  substance  abuse  centers  and  other  federal  agencies.  In  addition  we previously 
generated Commercial product revenues through sale of the Company’s travel health products, which we sold to 
Bavarian Nordic in May 2023.We generate MCM 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 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. 

We also generate revenue for our Services segment through our Bioservices portfolio, which is based on our 
established  development  and  manufacturing  infrastructure,  technology  platforms  and  expertise.  Our  services 
include  a  fully  integrated  molecule-to-market  bioservices  business  offering  across  development  services,  drug 
substance  and  drug  product  for  small  to  large  pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology  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. 

78 

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 

Commercial and MCM Products - The primary expenses that we incur to deliver NARCAN® and MCM 
and  other  commercial  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, shipping, and logistics. 

Services  -  The  primary  expenses  that  we  incur  to  deliver  our  Bioservices  offerings  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 Bioservices for our clinical trial material; and 

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

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 Bioservices 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,  2023,  income  tax  expense 
totaled $29.3 million. For every 1% change in the 2023 effective rate, income tax expense would have changed 
by approximately $7.3 million. 

The OECD (“Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development”) has proposed a global minimum 
tax  of  15%  of  reported  profits  (Pillar  2)  that  has  been  agreed  upon  in  principle  by  over  140  countries.  During 
2023,  many  countries  took  steps  to  incorporate  Pillar  2  model  rule  concepts  into  their  domestic  laws.  On 
December 18, 2023, Ireland enacted laws related to this minimum tax, effective January 1, 2024. 

Under the Pillar Two rules, a company would be required to determine a combined effective tax rate for all 
entities  located  in  a  jurisdiction.  If  the  jurisdictional  effective  tax  rate  determined  under  the  Pillar  Two  is  less 
than  15%;  a  top-up  tax  will  be  due  to  bring  the  jurisdictional  effective  tax  rate  up  to  15%.  We  continue  to 
evaluate the potential  impacts of proposed and enacted legislative  changes on our business in future periods in 
Ireland and elsewhere. 

For additional information on our uncertain tax positions and income tax expense, refer to Note 15, “Income 

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

(1)  We  define  total  segment  revenues,  which  is  a  non-GAAP  financial  measure,  as  our  total  revenues,  less 
contracts and grants revenue, which is also equal to the sum of the revenues of our operating segments. We 
define total segment gross margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as total segment revenues less 
our  aggregate  cost  of  sales  or  services.  We  define  total  segment  gross  margin  %,  which  is  a  non-GAAP 
financial measure, as total segment gross margin as a percentage of total segment revenues. 

Total revenues decreased $68.2 million, or 6%, to $1.0 billion in 2023. The decrease was due to a decrease 
in  MCM  Products  revenue  of  $132.4  million,  Bioservices  revenue  of  $31.4  million  and  Contracts  and  Grants 
revenue of $15.1 million, offset by an increase in Commercial Products revenue of $110.7 million. 

Total  segment  gross  margin  decreased  $65.4  million,  or  17%,  to  $317.6  million  in  2023.  Total  segment 
gross margin percentage decreased 5 percentage points to 31%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in 
the  MCM  Products  segment  gross  margin  of  $173.7  million,  partially  offset  by  increases  in  the  Commercial 
Products  segment  gross  margin  and  Bioservices  segment  gross  margin  of  $60.7  million  and  $47.6  million, 
respectively.  Total  segment  gross  margin  and  gross  margin  percentage  excludes  contracts  and  grants  revenues 
because the related costs are R&D expenses. 

See “Segment Results” for an expanded discussion of revenues and gross profit. 

Unallocated corporate operating expenses 

Goodwill Impairment 

Goodwill impairment increased $211.5 million to $218.2 million in 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, 
the Company recognized a $218.2 million impairment charge to goodwill in the MCM reporting unit, reducing 
the goodwill balance of the reporting unit and segment to zero as of December 31, 2023. 

Impairment of long-lived assets 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2023,  the  Company  recorded  a  non-cash  impairment  charge  of 
$306.7  million  related  to  certain  asset  groups  within  our  Bioservices  reporting  unit.  The  asset  groups  were 
written down only to the extent their carrying value was higher than their respective fair values. The Company, 
with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, applied valuation methods to estimate the fair values for each 
of the assets within the different asset classes to determine the amount of the impairment. 

82 

 
 
 
 
R&D Expenses 

R&D expenses decreased $76.9 million, or 41%, to $111.4 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily due 
to the sale of our development program for CHIKV VLP to Bavarian Nordic and reduction in related overhead 
costs  driven  by  the  headcount  reductions,  which  were  significant  contributors  to  prior  period  R&D  expense, 
partially offset by write-offs related to program terminations during the period. 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $28.9 million, or 9%, to $368.4 million in 2023. The 
increase was primarily due to higher professional services fees related to general corporate initiatives, including 
organizational  transformation  consulting  fees  and  legal  remediation  services  fees  as  well  as  an  increase  in 
marketing expenses related to the launch of NARCAN® OTC. The increase was partially offset by decreases in 
compensation and other employee costs related to the restructuring initiatives during 2023. Selling, general and 
administrative  costs  as  a  percentage  of  total  revenue  increased  5  percentage  points  to  35%  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2023. The increase was due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses coupled 
with a decrease in revenues during the period. 

Amortization of Intangible Assets 

Amortization of intangible assets increased $5.7 million, or 10%, to $65.6 million in 2023. The increase was 
primarily  due to amortization  expense for intangible  assets related to TEMBEXA®, NARCAN®, and Ebanga™ 
which  were  acquired  during  the  second  half  of  2022.  The  increase  was  partially  offset  by  a  decrease  in 
amortization expense resulting from the intangibles sold as part of our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic. 

Interest expense 

Interest expense increased $50.6 million, or 136%, to $87.9 million in 2023. The increase was primarily due 
to higher interest costs related to our syndicated borrowings and debt service costs attributable to the negotiation 
of  the  Fourth  Amendment  to  Amended  and  Restated  Credit  Agreement,  Waiver  and  First  Amendment  to 
Amended and Restated Collateral Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), partially offset by reduced 
interest expense related to the termination of our interest rate swap hedging agreements. 

Gain on sale of business 

Gain on sale of business was $74.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was attributable to 

the sale of our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic on May 15, 2023. 

Other, net 

Other, net decreased $20.6 million, or 176%, to an income of $8.9 million in 2023. The decrease in expense 
was primarily attributable to a write-off of a tax indemnity receivable in the prior period that did not reoccur in 
the  current  period,  favorable  foreign  exchange  revaluations,  higher  interest  income  from  rising  interest  rates 
during  the  year,  income  from  the  Transition  Services  Agreement  with  Bavarian  Nordic  and  a  gain  on 
extinguishment of debt. 

Income taxes 

Income  tax  benefit  of  $7.4  million  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2022  decreased  $36.7  million  to  a 
provision of $29.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The effective tax rate was (4)% for the year 
ended December 31, 2023 as compared to 3% in 2022. The effective annual tax rate decreased largely due to an 

83 

increase in nondeductible expenses, specifically the impact of a valuation allowance charge in the U.S., state and 
foreign jurisdictions, goodwill impairment charge, GILTI, and other permanent items. This is partially offset by 
tax credits and favorable rates in foreign jurisdictions.

supplemental information to investors in assessing our operating performance. 

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2022 

NARCAN® 

NARCAN® sales increased $113.8 million, or 30%, to $487.5 million in 2023. The increase was primarily 
driven  by  higher  sales  of  NARCAN®  OTC  and  branded  NARCAN®  to  U.S.  public  interest  channels  and 
Canadian retail, partially offset by the cessation of authorized generic NARCAN® sales related to the termination 
of the Company’s relationship with Sandoz and a reduction in commercial retail sales in the U.S. 

Other Commercial Products 

Other Commercial Products sales decreased $3.1 million, or 24%, to $9.8 million. The decrease was driven 
by lower sales of Vivotif®, partially offset by higher sales of Vaxchora®. During the second quarter of 2023, we 
sold Vivotif® and Vaxchora® to Bavarian Nordic as part of our travel health business. 

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin 

Cost of Commercial product sales increased $50.0 million, or 31%, to $210.3 million in 2023. The increase 

was primarily driven by higher sales of NARCAN® OTC and higher branded NARCAN® sales.

Commercial Products gross margin increased $60.7 million, or 27%, to $287.0 million in 2023. Commercial 
Products gross margin percentage decreased 1 percentage point to 58% in 2023. The decrease was largely due to 
a  decrease  in  the  per  unit  selling  price  in  response  to  increased  competition  for  generic  NARCAN®,  partially 
offset by a decrease in royalty expense. Commercial Products Segment Adjusted Gross Margin is consistent with 
gross margin.

Anthrax MCM 

Anthrax MCM sales decreased $102.5 million, or 35%, to $187.6 million in 2023. The decrease reflects the 
impact  of  timing  of  sales  related  to  CYFENDUS®  and  BioThrax,  partially  offset  by  an  increase  in  Anthrasil® 
sales.  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, the timing and amount 
of  USG  purchases,  the  availability  of  governmental  funding  and  timing  of  Company  delivery  of  orders  that 
follow. 

Smallpox MCM 

Smallpox  MCM  sales  decreased  $67.0  million,  or  29%,  to  $167.4  million  in  2023.  The  decrease  was 
primarily due to lower sales of TEMBEXA®, partially offset by an increase related the exercise and full delivery

in the current period of a $120 million  option by the USG to purchase ACAM2000®. Fluctuations  in revenues 
result from the timing of the exercise of annual purchase options in existing procurement contracts, the timing of 
USG purchases, the availability of governmental funding and timing of Company delivery of orders that follow. 

Other Product Sales 

Other Product sales increased $37.1 million, or 67%, to $92.2 million in 2023. The increase was primarily 

due to higher BAT® product sales, partially offset by lower RSDL® and Trobigard® product sales due to timing. 

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin 

Cost of MCM Product sales increased $41.3 million, or 16%, to $305.6 million in 2023. The increase was 
primarily due to higher sales of ACAM2000®, BAT® and AIG, partially offset by lower sales of CYFENDUS®, 
coupled with higher allocations to MCM Product COGS at our Bayview facility, shutdown costs and inventory 
write-offs. 

MCM Products gross margin decreased $173.7 million, or 55%, to $141.6 million in 2023. MCM Products 
gross margin percentage decreased 22 percentage points to 32% in 2023. The decrease was largely due to lower 
sales volumes and higher shutdown related costs and inventory write-offs, coupled with an unfavorable product 
revenue mix which was weighted more heavily to lower margin products compared with the prior year. The 2023 
MCM  Product  Segment  Adjusted  Gross  Margin  excludes  the  impact  of  restructuring  costs  of  $5.6  million, 
non-cash  items  related  to  the  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  contingent  consideration  of  $0.2  million  and  the 
inventory step-up provision of $3.9 million.

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2022 

Services Revenues 

Bioservices revenue decreased $32.2 million, or 31%, to $72.8 million in 2023. The decrease was driven by 
reduced  production  activities  at  the  Company’s  Winnipeg  and  Camden  facilities.  The  decreases  were  partially 
offset by an increase in production at our Canton facility for a Bioservices customer. 

Bioservices lease revenue increased $0.8 million, or 16%, to $5.7 million in 2023. The increase was related 

to a Bioservices customer at our Canton facility. 

Cost of Services and Gross Margin 

Cost of Services  decreased  $79.0 million,  or 29%, to $189.5 million  in 2023. The decrease was primarily 
due to reduced  production activities  related  to the halt in manufacturing  under the Janssen Agreement coupled 
with higher allocations to MCM Product cost of sales at our Bayview facility and lower production activities at 
our  Winnipeg  facility,  partially  offset  by  increased  costs  at  our  Camden  facility  for  additional  investments  in 
quality enhancement and improvement initiatives and increased costs associated with production activities at our 
Canton facility for a Bioservices customer. 

Services gross margin increased $47.6 million, or 30%, to $(111.0) million in 2023. Services gross margin 
percentage increased 3 percentage points to (141)% in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by one-time costs 
and  reserves  related  to  the  Janssen  Agreement  in  the  prior  year.  The  2023  Services  Segment  Adjusted  Gross 
Margin excludes the impact of restructuring costs of $8.4 million. 

OTHER REVENUE 

Year Ended December 31, 2023 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2022 

Contracts and Grants 

Contract and grants revenue decreased $15.1 million, or 36%, to $26.3 million in 2023. The decrease was 
primarily  attributable  to  one-time  indirect  rate  adjustments  in  the  prior  period,  the  conclusion  of  COVID-19 
related  studies  in  the  fourth  quarter  of  2022,  and  decreases  in  development  activities  associated  with  various 
externally  funded  research  and  development  projects.  These  decreases  were  partially  offset  by  increases  in 
revenue on the BARDA contract for the procurement of Ebanga™, which was awarded in the current period, and 
TEMBEXA®.

define total segment gross margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as total segment revenues less 
our  aggregate  cost  of  sales  or  services.  We  define  total  segment  gross  margin  %,  which  is  a  non-GAAP 
financial measure, as total segment gross margin as a percentage of total segment revenues. 

54% 

36% 

Total revenues decreased $656.1 million, or 37%, to $1.1 billion in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to 
a decrease in Bioservices revenue of $505.6 million, coupled with decreases in Contracts and grants revenue of 
$92.8 million, Commercial Products revenue of $51.4 million and MCM Products revenue of $6.3 million. 

Total  segment  gross  margin  decreased  $508.3  million,  or  57%,  to  $383.0  million  in  2022.  Total  segment 
gross margin percentage decreased 19 percentage points to 36%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in 
the  Bioservices  segment  gross  margin  of  $408.6  million,  coupled  with  decreases  in  MCM  Products  segment 
gross margin and Commercial Products segment gross margin of $75.2 million and $24.5 million, respectively. 
Total segment gross margin percentage excludes contracts and grants revenues because the related costs are R&D 
expenses. 

See “Segment Results” for an expanded discussion of revenues and gross profit. 

Unallocated corporate operating expenses 

R&D Expenses 

R&D expenses decreased $46.9 million, or 20%, to $188.3 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily 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  (as  defined  below),  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 $9.2 million, or 3%, to $339.5 million in 2022. The 
decrease was primarily 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 11 percentage points to 30% 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. 

89 

 
 
 
 
 
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  Bioservices 
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. 

Amortization of Intangible Assets 

Amortization  of intangible  assets  increased  $1.4 million,  or 2%, 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. 

Interest expense 

Interest expense increased $2.8 million, or 8%, to $37.3 million in 2022. The increase was primarily due to 
higher  interest  costs  related  to  our  syndicated  borrowings,  partially  offset  by  a  decrease  in  interest  expense 
related to our interest rate swap hedging agreements. 

Other, net 

Other, net increased $8.0 million to an expense of $11.7 million in 2022. The increase was primarily due to 
a  write-off  of  a  tax  indemnity  receivable,  which  was  offset  in  income  tax  provision,  and  unrealized  foreign 
currency  losses  recorded  related  to  the  remeasurement  of  certain  intercompany  balances.  The  increases  in 
expense were partially offset by an increase in interest income due to higher interest rates in 2022. 

Income tax provision 

Income tax provision decreased  $91.1 million to an income tax benefit of $7.4 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 3% for the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to 28% in 2021. The effective annual tax 
rate  decreased  largely  due  to  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 

NARCAN® 

NARCAN® sales decreased $60.7 million, or 14%, 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. 

Other Commercial Products 

Other  Commercial  Products  sales  increased  $9.3  million  to  $12.9  million  in  2022.  The  increase  was 

primarily driven by higher sales of Vivotif® and Vaxchora® in 2022. 

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin 

Cost of Commercial product sales decreased $26.9 million, or 14%, to $160.3 million in 2022. The decrease 

was primarily driven by a decrease in royalties paid for NARCAN® sales due to the royalty settlement in 2022. 

Commercial Products gross margin decreased $24.5 million, or 10%, to $226.3 million in 2022. Commercial 
Products gross margin percentage increased 2 percentage points to 59% in 2022. The increase was largely due to 
a decrease in royalties paid for NARCAN® sales due to the royalty settlement in 2022.

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

Anthrax MCM 

Anthrax MCM sales increased $27.5 million, or 10%, to $290.1 million in 2022. The increase 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. 

Smallpox MCM 

Smallpox  MCM  sales  decreased  $32.3  million,  or  12%,  to  $234.4  million  in  2022.  The  decrease  was 
primarily  due  to  lower  sales  of  ACAM2000®,  partially  offset  by  TEMBEXA®  sales  following  the  2022 
acquisition of worldwide rights for TEMBEXA®. Fluctuations in revenues result from the timing of the exercise 
of  annual  purchase  options  in  existing  procurement  contracts,  the  timing  of  USG purchases,  the  availability  of 
governmental funding and timing of Company delivery of orders that follow. 

Other Product Sales 

Other Product sales decreased $1.5 million, or 3%, to $55.1 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily due 

to lower BAT® product sales, partially offset by higher RSDL® and Trobigard® product sales.

Cost of Sales and Gross Margin 

Cost of MCM Product sales increased $68.9 million, or 35%, to $264.3 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 MCM product sales increased $8.7 million, 
primarily due to inventory write-offs, primarily related to CYFENDUS® and ACAM2000® and higher costs due 
to  under-utilized  capacity  at  our  facilities.  These  increases  were  partially  offset  by  decreases  in  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. 

MCM Products gross margin decreased $75.2 million, or 19%, to $315.3 million in 2022. MCM Products 
gross margin percentage decreased 13 percentage points to 54% in 2022. The decrease was largely due to lower 
sales volumes and higher shutdown related costs and inventory write-offs, coupled with an unfavorable product 
revenue mix which was weighted more heavily to lower margin products compared with the prior year. The 2022 
MCM Product Segment 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 of $51.4 million.

Services Revenues 

Bioservices  revenue  decreased  $205.3  million,  or  66%,  to  $105.0  million  in  2022.  The  decrease  was 
primarily  due  to  $170.9  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.

Bioservices  lease  revenue  decreased  $300.3  million,  or  98%,  to  $4.9  million  in  2022.  The  decrease  was 
primarily  due  to  a  reduction  of  $243.1  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  $97.0  million,  or  27%,  to  $268.5  million  in  2022.  The  decrease  was primarily 
due  to  reduced  production  activities  across  our  Bioservices  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  decreased  $408.6  million  to  $(158.6)  million  in  2022.  Services  gross  margin 
percentage  decreased  185 percentage  points to (144)%  in 2022. The decrease  was primarily  driven by reduced 
production  activities  across  our  Bioservices  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 

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

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  CYFENDUS®.  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  (“Revolving  Credit  Facility”),our  senior  term  loan  facility  (“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 and participation in an at-the market equity offering program that we entered into on May 18, 2023 
(the  “ATM  Program”).  As  of  December  31,  2023,  we  had  unrestricted  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of 
$111.7 million and remaining capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility of $80.3 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,  2023,  there  was  $219.2  million  outstanding  on  our  Revolving  Credit  Facility  and 
$198.2  million  on  our  Term  Loan  Facility  that  mature  in  May  2025.  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. The evaluation considered the potential mitigating effects of management’s 
plans  that  have  not  been  fully  implemented.  Management  has  evaluated  the  mitigating  effects  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. Managements’s plans 
include (A) amending the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and (B) improving operating performance, reducing 
working  capital  and  the  potential  sale  of  assets  to  pay  down  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  before  they 
become due. As neither plan is in the complete control of Management, neither is probable of occurring. In this 
regard, management may not be able to find a buyer for the assets it is willing to divest and may not be able to 
close on any asset sales for which management is able to reach an agreement  with a buyer, and as a result the 
Company  may  be  unable  to  meet  its  obligations  as  they  become  due.  In  addition,  any  asset  sales  that  are 
completed could have potential negative impacts on the Company’s future operating cash flows and profitability. 

Debt Covenants 

The  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  mature  in  May  2025  which  provide  for  (1)  revolving  credit 
commitments, (2) a term loan, and (3) the issuance of commercial letters of credit. As of December 31, 2023, we 
had  $417.4  million  outstanding  under  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities.  Under  the  Senior  Secured  Credit 
Facilities, the Company is subject to a monthly minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant through February 29, 
2024,  and  is  also  required  to  raise  at  least  $75.0  million  through  the  issuance  of  equity  and/or  unsecured 
indebtedness by April 30, 2024. Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company is subject to a 
minimum consolidated debt service coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant. As of 
December  31,  2023,  the  Company  was  not  in  compliance  with  the  minimum  consolidated  EBITDA  covenant 
under  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  and  did  not  expect  to  be  able  to  raise  the  remaining  of  the 
$75.0  million  through  the  issuance  of  equity  under  the  at-the-market  equity  offering  program  (the  “ATM 
Program”)  that  we  entered  into  on  May  18,  2023,  by  April  30,  2024,  as  required  by  the  requisite  lenders.  In 
addition,  the  Company  is  required  to  deliver  audited  annual  financial  statements  without  a  “going  concern” 
explanatory  paragraph  with  respect  to  its  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2023,  within 
90-days  of  year  end,  while  the  financial  statements  included  in  this  Annual  Report  contain  an  explanatory 
paragraph  related  to  Going  Concern.  On  February  29,  2024,  the  requisite  lenders  agreed  to  enter  into  the 
Forbearance  Agreement,  which  includes  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 

95 

fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2023 and the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024 and (b) the going concern 
explanatory paragraph contained in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. 
This forbearance period will expire on the earlier to occur of (i) any other event of default and (ii) April 30, 2024. 
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  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities.  The  Senior  Secured  Credit 
Facilities and the Company’s other debt facilities are described in more detail in Note 10, “Debt” in the Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Annual Report. 

Further, acceleration of the repayment of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities would result in a cross-default 
of the Company’s obligations under the 3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2028. If the Company would be 
unable to obtain additional waivers or forbearance of such covenants or defaults, to successfully renegotiate the 
terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or to cure the potential covenant breach or default, and the lenders 
enforced one or more of their rights upon default and/or the default resulted in a cross-default under the 3.875% 
Senior  Unsecured  Notes  due  in  2028,  the  Company  would  be  unable  to  meet  its  obligations  under  those 
agreements and could be forced into insolvency proceedings. 

Based  on  the  facts  and  circumstances  described  above,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Forbearance 
Period will continue  to remain  in place, and that the Company would be able to comply with covenants in the 
future. As a result, the Company continues to evaluate a number of factors related to its ability to continue as a 
going concern, including its ability to comply with the terms and operating and financial covenants required by 
the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, its ability to satisfy the capital raise requirement, other market conditions, 
economic conditions, particularly in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, and disruptions or volatility 
caused by factors such as regional conflicts, inflation, and supply chain disruptions. The Company has engaged 
legal and financial advisors to assist with a comprehensive review of alternatives to enhance its capital structure, 
which  may  include  taking  steps  to  cure  any  potential  defaults  or  seeking  forbearance,  waivers,  further  cost 
reductions, asset sales or other alternatives to avoid an event of default. 

The Company had $111.7 million of cash on hand at December 31, 2023. On January 9, 2023, the Company 
announced the January 2023 Plan, intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and continue 
advancing  the  Company’s  ongoing  commitment  to  profitable  growth.  The  January  2023  Plan  included  a 
reduction  of  the  Company’s  current  workforce  by  approximately  125  employees.  Additionally,  on  August  8, 
2023,  the  Company  announced  the  August  2023  Plan,  intended  to  strengthen  its  core  business  and  financial 
position by reducing investment in and de-emphasizing focus on its Bioservices business for future growth. The 
August 2023 Plan included  a reduction  of the Company’s current workforce by approximately  400 employees. 
These actions, in combination with other cost reduction initiatives, are expected to result in annualized savings of 
over $160 million when fully implemented. 

At-the-Market Equity Offering Facility 

We may, from time to time, sell up to $150.0 million aggregate gross sales price of shares of our common 
stock through Evercore Group L.L.C. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agents, under the ATM Program 
that we entered into on May 18, 2023. Between the adoption of the ATM Program and December 31, 2023, we 
sold  1.1  million  shares  of  our  common  stock  under  the  ATM  Program  for  gross  proceeds  of  $9.1  million, 
representing an average price of $8.22 per share. As of December 31, 2023, $140.9 million aggregate gross sales 
price of shares of our common stock remains available for issuance under the ATM Program. We intend to use 
proceeds obtained from the sale of shares under the ATM Program for general corporate purposes.

Operating Activities: 

Net  cash  used  in  operating  activities  increased  $172.2  million  in  2023.  The  increase  in  net  cash  used  in 
operating activities was primarily due to negative working capital changes of $68.2 million, driven by lower cash 
collections on accounts receivable, and an increase in cash payments for accrued compensation and income taxes, 
partially offset by lower cash payments for inventories, prepaid expenses and other assets, accrued expenses and 
other liabilities, and accounts payable. 

Investing Activities: 

Net  cash  provided  by  investing  activities  increased  $593.6  million  in  2023.  The  increase  in  net  cash 
provided  by  investing  activities  was  primarily  due  to  the  proceeds  received  from  the  sale  of  the  travel  health 
business  during  the  second  quarter  of  2023  of  $270.2  million,  a  decrease  in  payments  for  the  acquisition  of 
businesses  of  $243.7  million  and  a  decrease  of  $64.2  million  in  capital  expenditures,  partially  offset  by  an 
increase in milestone payments of $6.3 million for prior asset acquisitions. 

Financing Activities: 

Net cash used in financing activities increased $1.0 billion in 2023. The increase in cash used in financing 
activities  was  primarily  due  to  increased  principal  payments  on  our  Revolving  Credit  Facility  and  Term  Loan 
Facility  of  $398.8  million  and  $130.8  million,  respectively,  coupled  with  a  reduction  in  proceeds  of 
$578.0 million under our Revolving Credit Facility, partially offset by a decrease in purchases of treasury stock 
of $82.1 million in the current year and an increase of $8.4 million in proceeds from the sale of stock under our 
ATM program. 

Debt 

As  of  December  31,  2023,  the  Company  has  $868.4  million  of  fixed  and  variable  rate  debt  with  varying 
maturities,  with  $418.4  million  payable  within  12  months  (see  Note  10,  “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  short-term  and  long-term  anticipated  operating  expenses,  capital 

expenditures and debt service requirements from the following sources: 

•

existing cash and cash equivalents; 

97 

 
 
 
 
 
 
•

•

•

•

net proceeds from the sale of our products and bioservices; 

development contracts and grant funding; 

proceeds from the sale of our common stock through the ATM Program; and 

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 bioservices; 

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,  including through the ATM Program, 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,  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,  2023,  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, 
2023,  the  Company  had  fixed  lease  payment  obligations  of  $20.4  million,  with  $4.3  million  due  within  12 
months.  The  Company  has  non-cancelable  purchase  commitments  of  $526.9  million,  with  an  estimated 
$117.0 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  Bioservices 
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.

MCM product 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 MCM 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. 

The  Company’s  NARCAN®  OTC  customer  contracts  are  fixed  price  contracts.  For  that  majority  of  the 
Company’s  NARCAN®  OTC  contract,  the  Company  invoices  and  records  revenue  when  the  pharmacies  and 
wholesalers receive product from the third-party logistics warehouse used by the Company, which is the point at 
which control is transferred to the customer. Revenues for these NARCAN® OTC arrangements are recorded at 
the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are 
established.  Estimates  of  variable  consideration  includes  allowance  for  returns,  specialty  distributor  fees, 
wholesaler  fees  and  prompt  payment  discounts.  NARCAN®  OTC  may  also  be  sold  on  consignment  through 
third-party  online  retailers  where  revenues  are  recognized  point  in  time  when  sold  to  the  end  customer.  The 
Company pays these third-party online retailers selling commissions and fulfillment fees which are recorded as 
selling general & administrative expenses and cost of commercial product sales, respectively, in the Consolidated 
Statement of Operations. Revenues from NARCAN® OTC are 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. The Company considers several factors in 
the estimation  process for the allowance for returns of NARCAN® OTC, including  inventory  levels  within the 
distribution channel and historical return activity, including activity for product sold for which the return period 
has  passed,  as  well  as  other  relevant  factors.  Because  returned  product  cannot  be  resold,  there  is  no 
corresponding asset for product returns. 

For  additional  information  on  our  revenues,  refer  to  Note  13,  “Revenue  recognition”  in  the  Notes  to 

Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Form 10-K. 

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  8,  “Fair  value  measurements”  in  the  Notes  to  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Form 10-K. 

100 

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 15, “Income taxes” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 
8. of this Form 10-K. 

Goodwill and long-lived assets 

We  evaluate  our  goodwill  for  impairment  annually  as  of  the  first  day  of  the  fourth  quarter  and  whenever 
events  or  changes  in  circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  value  of  goodwill  may  not  be  recoverable.  We 
assess our goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. 

As part of the evaluation of goodwill for potential impairment, we exercise judgment to: 

•

Perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that the fair value of 
a  reporting  unit  is  less  than  it’s  carrying  value.  Factors  we  consider  when  making  the  determination 
include assessing macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall 
financial performance, and other relevant reporting unit specific events; 

• Decide whether to bypass the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative assessment. Factors we 
consider  when  making  this  determination  include  changes  in  the  Company  or  general  economic 
conditions  since  the  previous  quantitative  assessment  was  performed,  the  amount  by  which  the  fair 
value  exceeded  the  carrying  value  at  that  time  and  the  period  of  time  that  has  passed  since  such 
quantitative assessment; and 

•

Perform a quantitative assessment by comparing the estimated fair value of the reporting unit with the 
carrying  amount  of  that  reporting  unit.  We  estimate  fair  value  using  a  combination  of  an  income 
approach (based on discounted cash flows) and market approach, using appropriate weighting factors. 

The  cash  flows  employed  in  the  income  approach  are  based  on  our  most  recent  forecasts,  budgets  and 
business  plans,  as  well  as  various  growth  rate  assumptions  for  years  beyond  the  current  business  plan  period, 
discounted using an estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects an assessment of the risk inherent 
in the future revenue streams and cash flows. In the market approach, we utilize market multiples derived from 
comparable  guideline  companies  and  comparable  market  transactions  to  the  extent  available.  These  valuations 
are  based  on  estimates  and  assumptions,  including  projected  future  cash  flows,  determination  of  appropriate 
comparable guideline companies and the determination of whether a premium or discount should be applied to 
such comparable guideline companies. 

The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill requires significant judgment and estimates. 
In  2023,  due  to  triggering  events  in  the  respective  quarters,  we  performed  interim  impairment  tests  during  the 
second and third quarter for the MCM reporting unit. The results of the test performed during the second quarter, 

101 

which yielded no impairment of goodwill. The results of the test performed during the third quarter indicated that 
for  our  MCM  reporting  unit,  an  impairment  existed.  As  a  result,  the  Company  recorded  a  $218.2  million 
non-cash  goodwill  impairment  charge  for  the  MCM  reporting  unit  within  the  Products  segment,  reducing  the 
goodwill balance to zero across all reporting units. 

Long-lived assets such as finite lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are not required to 
be  tested  for  impairment  annually,  instead  they  are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. These events or changes in 
circumstances may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans or changes 
in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, we evaluate recoverability of assets to be 
held  and  used  by  a  comparison  of  the  carrying  value  of  the  assets  with  future  undiscounted  net  cash  flows 
expected to be generated by the assets. We group assets at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash 
flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups. If the total of the expected 
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset group, we estimate the fair value of 
the  asset  group  to  determine  whether  an  impairment  loss  should  be  recognized.  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.  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. 

During the second quarter of 2023, due to deterioration in performance and resulting downward revisions to 
our  internal  Bioservices  forecast  made  during  the  second  quarter,  including  future  expected  cash  flows,  the 
Company  determined  there  were  sufficient  indicators  of  impairment  on  certain  asset  groups  within  the 
Bioservices reporting unit to require an impairment analysis. As a result, the Company performed recoverability 
tests on certain asset groups within the Bioservices reporting unit and concluded that the impacted asset groups 
were not recoverable as the undiscounted expected cash flows did not exceed their carrying values. Based on this 
analysis, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $306.7 million during 2023.

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 2023 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.  We  terminated  our  interest  rate  swaps in 
June 2023, and we are satisfied with the current fix-float mix of the Company’s debt portfolio. Floating rate debt 
carries  interest  based  generally  on  the  eurocurrency  rate,  as  defined  in  our  senior  secured  credit  agreement,  as 
amended by the Credit Agreement Amendment, plus an applicable margin. Increases in interest rates could result 
in an increase in interest payments for our floating rate debt. See Note 10, “Debt” in the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8. of this Form 10-K. 

From  time  to  time,  we  may  use  derivative  instruments  to  manage  our  interest  rate  risk  and  market  risk 

exposure. 

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, 2023 would increase our interest expense by approximately $4.2 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.

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, 2023 and 2022, 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,  2023,  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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2023, 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,  2023, 
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 8, 2024 expressed an 
unqualified 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  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  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 Matter 

The  critical  audit  matter  communicated  below  is  a  matter  arising  from  the  current  period  audit  of  the 
financial  statements  that  was  communicated  or  required  to  be  communicated  to  the  audit  committee  and  that: 
(1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially 
challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in 

105 

any  way  our  opinion  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  taken  as  a  whole,  and  we  are  not,  by 
communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the 
account or disclosure to which it relates. 

Description of 
the Matter 

Revenue recognition - Allowance for product returns 
As  described  in  Notes  2  and  13  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company 
recognized revenues of $487.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the sale 
of NARCAN® products. For these product sales, revenue is recognized at a point in time, net of 
estimates of allowances, including allowances for product returns. 

Auditing the Company’s measurement  of allowances for returns of NARCAN® product sales 
involved significant auditor judgment because the calculation involves subjective assumptions 
and  estimates  made  by  management,  including  historical  return  activity  used  to  forecast 
expected returns and estimates of inventory levels within the distribution channel. 

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  process  to  measure  the  allowance  for  returns  on  NARCAN® 
product sales. For example, we tested controls over management’s review of the assumptions 
used in the calculation of the product returns allowance. We also tested management’s controls 
over the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the underlying calculations. 

To  test  the  calculation  of  the  product  returns  allowance,  our  audit  procedures  included  the 
following procedures, amongst others. We independently estimated the allowance for product 
returns  using  the  Company’s  historical  data  and  compared  the  result  to  the  Company’s 
estimated returns allowance, inspected contracts and related modifications with the Company’s 
customers to evaluate the Company’s standard returns policy, performed revenue cutoff testing 
to  assess  whether  there  were  relevant  factors  at  period  end  not  considered  in  the  Company’s 
analysis  of  product  returns,  and  examined  credit  memos  issued  after  year  end  for  relevant 
factors or trends not consistent with the Company’s analysis of product returns. We also tested 
the  Company’s  retrospective  review  of  the  accuracy  of  the  allowance  for  returns  on  product 
revenue and compared the results of the retrospective review to the current year assumptions.

Emergent BioSolutions Inc. and Subsidiaries 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements  
(dollar and share amounts in tables expressed in millions, except per share data) 

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 four PHT categories: chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear 
and explosives (“CBRNE”); emerging infectious diseases (“EID”); emerging health crises; and acute, emergency 
and  community  care.  The  Company  has  a  product  portfolio  of  12  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 structures the business with a focus on markets and customers. As such, the 
key components of the business structure include the following four product and service categories: Anthrax—
Medical Countermeasures (“MCM”) Products, NARCAN® commercial product, Smallpox—MCM products and 
Emergent Bioservices (CDMO) (“Bioservices”). 

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company manages our business with a focus on three operating 
segments:  (1)  a  Commercial  Products  segment  consisting  of  NARCAN®  Nasal  Spray  and  other  commercial 
products  which  were  sold  as  part  of  our  travel  health  business  in  the  second  quarter  of  2023  (see  Note  3, 
“Divestiture”  for  more  information  on  the  sale  of  the  travel  health  business);  (2)  a  MCM  Products  segment 
consisting  of  our  Anthrax—MCM,  Smallpox—MCM  and  Other  Products,  described  below  and  (3)  a  Services

product manufacturing (also referred to as “fill/finish” services) and packaging; development services including 
technology  transfer,  process  and  analytical  development  services;  and,  when  necessary,  suite  reservation 
obligations.  These  services,  which  we  refer  to  as  “molecule-to-market”  offerings,  employ  diverse  technology 
platforms  (mammalian,  microbial,  viral  and  plasma)  across  a  network  of  nine  geographically  distinct 
development and manufacturing sites operated by us for our internal products and pipeline candidates and third-

113 

party  Bioservices.  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.  In  August  2023,  the  Company  initiated  an  organizational  restructuring  plan  (the  “August  2023 
Plan”) which included actions to reduce investment in and de-emphasize focus on its Bioservices business. 

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. 

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,  2023,  there  was  $219.2  million  outstanding  on  our  senior  revolving  credit  facility 
(“Revolving  Credit  Facility”)  and  $198.2  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 May 2025. As 
of December 31, 2023, the Company had $111.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. 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.  The  evaluation  considered  the  potential  mitigating  effects  of 
management’s plans that have not been fully implemented. Management has evaluated the mitigating effects 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. 
Management’s  plans  include  (A)  amending  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities,  and  (B)  improving  operating 
performance,  reducing  working  capital  and  the  potential  of  the  sale  of  assets  to  pay  down  the  Senior  Secured 
Credit Facilities  before they become due. As neither plan is in the complete control of Management, neither is 
probable of occurring. In this regard, management may not be able to find a buyer for the assets it is willing to 
divest and may not be able to close on any asset sale for which management is able to reach an agreement with a 
buyer, and as a result the Company may be unable to meet its obligations as they become due. In addition, any 
asset  sales  that  are  completed  could  have  potential  negative  impacts  on  the  Company’s  future  operating  cash 
flows and profitability. 

Debt Covenants 

The  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  mature  in  May  2025,  which  provide  for  (1)  revolving  credit 
commitments, (2) a term loan, and (3) the issuance of commercial letters of credit. As of December 31, 2023, we 
had  $417.4  million  outstanding  under  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities.  Under  the  Senior  Secured  Credit 
Facilities, the Company is subject to a monthly minimum consolidated EBITDA covenant through February 29, 
2024,  and  is  also  required  to  raise  at  least  $75.0  million  through  the  issuance  of  equity  and/or  unsecured 
indebtedness by April 30, 2024. Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company is subject to a 
minimum consolidated debt service coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio covenant. As of 
December  31,  2023,  the  Company  was  not  in  compliance  with  the  minimum  consolidated  EBITDA  covenant 
under  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  and  did  not  expect  to  be  able  to  raise  the  remaining  of  the 
$75.0  million  through  the  issuance  of  equity  under  the  at-the-market  equity  offering  program  (the  “ATM 
Program”)  that  we  entered  into  on  May  18,  2023,  by  April  30,  2024,  as  required  by  the  requisite  lenders.  In 
addition,  the  Company  is  required  to  deliver  audited  annual  financial  statements  without  a  “going  concern” 

114 

explanatory  paragraph  with  respect  to  its  financial  statements  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2023,  within 
90-days  of  year  end,  while  the  financial  statements  included  in  this  Annual  Report  contain  an  explanatory 
paragraph  related  to  Going  Concern.  On  February  29,  2024,  the  requisite  lenders  agreed  to  enter  into  a 
Forbearance  Agreement  and  Sixth  Amendment  to  Amended  and  Restated  Credit  Agreement  (the  “Forbearance 
Agreement  and  Amendment”),  which  includes  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  quarter  ending  December  31,  2023  and  the  fiscal  quarter  ending  March  31,  2024  and  (b)  the  going 
concern  explanatory  paragraph  contained  in  the  audited  financial  statements  for  the  fiscal  year  ended 
December 31, 2023. This forbearance period will expire on the earlier to occur of (i) any other event of default 
and (ii) April 30, 2024. 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 Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Senior 
Secured Credit Facilities and the Company’s other debt facilities are described in more detail below in Note 10, 
“Debt”. 

Further, acceleration of the repayment of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities would result in a cross-default 
of the Company’s obligations under the 3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2028. If the Company would be 
unable to obtain additional waivers or forbearance of such covenants or defaults, to successfully renegotiate the 
terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or to cure the potential covenant breach or default, and the lenders 
enforced one or more of their rights upon default and/or the default resulted in a cross-default under the 3.875% 
Senior  Unsecured  Notes  due  in  2028,  the  Company  would  be  unable  to  meet  its  obligations  under  those 
agreements and could be forced into insolvency proceedings. 

Based  on  the  facts  and  circumstances  described  above,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  the  Forbearance 
Period will continue  to remain  in place, and that the Company would be able to comply with covenants in the 
future. As a result, the Company continues to evaluate a number of factors related to its ability to continue as a 
going concern, including its ability to comply with the terms and operating and financial covenants required by 
the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, its ability to satisfy the capital raise requirement, other market conditions, 
economic conditions, particularly in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, and disruptions or volatility 
caused by factors such as regional conflicts, inflation, and supply chain disruptions. The Company has engaged 
legal and financial advisors to assist with a comprehensive review of alternatives to enhance its capital structure, 
which  may  include  taking  steps  to  cure  any  potential  defaults  or  seeking  forbearance,  waivers,  further  cost 
reductions, asset sales or other alternatives to avoid an event of default. 

Use of estimates 

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions 
that  affect  reported  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes. 
Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making those estimates, judgements and assumptions, actual results 
could  differ  from  those  estimates.  Our  most  significant  estimates  relate  to  revenue  recognitions  and  the 
assessment  of  the  recoverability  of  goodwill,  definite  lived  intangible  assets  and  other  long-lived  assets.  Other 
estimates  include  allowances  for  expected  credit  losses,  inventory,  depreciation  and  amortization,  business 
combinations,  contingent  consideration,  share-based  compensation,  income  taxes,  and  other  contingencies. 
Management  continually  re-evaluates  its  estimates,  judgments  and  assumptions  and  basis  its  estimates  on 
historical  trends,  projections,  current  experience  and  other  assumptions  that  it  believes  are  reasonable.  These 
estimates  are  sometimes  complex,  sensitive  to  changes  in  assumptions  and  require  fair  value  determinations 
using Level 3 fair value measurements. 

Cash and cash equivalents 

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. 

115 

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  and  Bioservices  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, NARCAN® Nasal Spray, is sold commercially over-the-counter at retail pharmacies and digital 
commerce  websites  as  well  as  through  physician-directed  or  standing  order  prescriptions  at  retail  pharmacies, 
health  departments,  local  law  enforcement  agencies,  community-based  organizations,  substance  abuse  centers 
and other federal agencies. 

We maintain an allowance for expected credit losses, which represents the estimated aggregate amount of 
credit risk arising from the inability or unwillingness of specific customers to pay our fees or disputes that may 
affect  our  ability  to  fully  collect  our  billed  accounts  receivable.  We  estimate  the  current-period  provision  for 
expected credit losses on a specific identification basis and we consider factors such as the age of the receivables 
balance,  knowledge  of  the  specific  customers’  circumstances  and  historical  collection  experience  for  similar 
customers.  Amounts  determined  to  be  uncollectible  are  charged  or  written-off  against  the  reserve.  Accounts 
receivable, net of the allowance for expected credit losses, represents the amount we expect to collect. Our actual 
experience  may  vary  from  our  estimates.  At  each  reporting  date,  we  adjust  the  allowance  for  expected  credit 
losses to reflect our current estimate. 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. 

116 

Concentration Risk 

Customers 

The Company has long-term contracts with the USG that expire at various times from 2024 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® 
and Anthrax Vaccines to customers in addition to the USG, which would harm their growth opportunities. The 
Company’s commercial product sales, largely NARCAN® Nasal Spray, are sold commercially over-the-counter 
at  retail  pharmacies  and  digital  commerce  websites  as  well  as  through  physician-directed  or  standing  order 
prescriptions  at  retail  pharmacies,  health  departments,  local  law  enforcement  agencies,  community-based 
organizations, substance abuse centers and other federal agencies. Refer to Note 13, “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  38%, 43% and 51% of total revenues for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The 
Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, consist primarily of amounts due from the 
USG or other large multi-national highly reputable customers for product sales, Bioservices or from government 
agencies under government grants. 

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, 2023, 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 actual cost. Actual cost consists primarily of material, labor and manufacturing 
overhead expenses (including fixed production-overhead costs) and includes the services and products of third-

117 

party  suppliers.  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.  The  Company  determines  normal  capacity  for  each 
production  facility  and  allocates  fixed  production-overhead  costs  on  that  basis.  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.  Inventory  reserves  for  write-downs  are  relieved  when  the  inventory  is 
disposed of through scrap or sale. 

Pre-launch inventory 

Within the Company’s Commercial Products and MCM Products segments costs relating to raw materials 
and production of inventory in preparation for product launch prior to regulatory approval are capitalized when 
the  review  process  has  progressed  to  a  point  where  objective  and  persuasive  evidence  exists  that  regulatory 
approval  is  probable,  the  future  economic  benefit  is  expected  to  be  realized,  and  the  Company  believes  that 
material  uncertainties  related  to  the  ultimate  regulatory  approval  have  been  significantly  reduced.  Pre-launch 
inventory  is  recorded  to  research  and  development  expense  unless  these  criteria  are  met.  For  pre-launch 
inventory that is capitalized, the Company considers a number of specific facts and circumstances, including the 
product candidate’s current status in the drug development and regulatory approval process, results from related 
clinical  trials,  results  from  meetings  with  relevant  regulatory  agencies  prior  to  the  filing  of  regulatory 
applications, potential obstacles to the approval process, historical experience, viability of commercialization and 
market trends. This policy is not applicable to pre-launch inventory purchased to satisfy a performance obligation 
related to a Bioservices contract as Bioservices pre-launch inventory may be capitalized if it has future economic 
benefit based on the terms of the contract. 

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. 

118 

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 
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. 

119 

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 
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 7, “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-

120 

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 
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. 

121 

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. 

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 NARCAN® Nasal Spray, 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, 2023. 

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. 

122 

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. 

MCM product 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  MCM 
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. 

The Company’s NARCAN® over-the-counter (“OTC”) customer contracts are fixed price contracts. For that 
majority  of  the  Company’s  NARCAN®  OTC  contract,  the  Company  invoices  and  records  revenue  when  the 
pharmacies  and  wholesalers  receive  product  from  the  third-party  logistics  warehouse  used  by  the  Company, 
which  is  the  point  at  which  control  is  transferred  to  the  customer.  Revenues  for  these  NARCAN®  OTC 
arrangements  are  recorded  at  the  net  sales  price  (transaction  price),  which  includes  estimates  of  variable 
consideration  for  which  reserves  are  established.  Estimates  of  variable  consideration  includes  allowance  for 
returns, specialty distributor fees, wholesaler fees and prompt payment discounts. NARCAN® OTC may also be 
sold on consignment through third-party online retailers where revenues are recognized point in time when sold 
to  the  end  customer.  The  Company  pays  these  third-party  online  retailers  selling  commissions  and  fulfillment 
fees  which  are  recorded  as  selling  general  &  administrative  expenses  and  cost  of  commercial  product  sales, 
respectively,  in  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Operations.  Revenues  from  NARCAN®  OTC  are  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. The Company 
considers several factors in the estimation process for the allowance for returns of NARCAN® OTC, including 
inventory levels within the distribution channel and historical return activity, including activity for product sold 
for  which  the  return  period  has  passed,  as  well  as  other  relevant  factors.  Because  returned  product  cannot  be 
resold, there is no corresponding asset for product returns. 

Bioservices 

The  Company  performs  it’s  Bioservices  offerings  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, technology transfer, 
manufacturing  validations,  laboratory  analytical  development  support,  aseptic  filling,  lyophilization,  final 
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 

123 

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  Bioservices  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 
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; 

124 

•

•

•

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 Bioservices 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. 

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 

125 

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 share-based compensation 

The  Company  has  two  share-based  employee  compensation  plans,  the  Fourth  Amended  and  Restated 
Emergent  BioSolutions  Inc.  2006  Stock  Incentive  Plan  (the  “Emergent  Plan”)  and  the  Emergent  BioSolutions, 
Inc.  Inducement  Plan  (the  “Inducement  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. 

On  September  28,  2023,  the  Company’s  Board  of  Directors  adopted  and  approved  the  Emergent 
BioSolutions, Inc. Inducement Plan, pursuant to which the Company may from time to time make equity grants 
to individuals not previously an employee or director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or following a 
bona fide period of interruption of employment) as a material inducement to their employment by the Company. 
The Inducement Plan was adopted by the board of directors without stockholder approval pursuant to New York 
Stock  Exchange  Listing  Rule  303A.08.  The  board  of  directors  reserved  5.0  million  shares  of  the  Company’s 
common  stock  for  issuance  under  the  Inducement  Plan.  The  terms  and  conditions  of  the  Inducement  Plan  are 
substantially similar to the Company’s stockholder-approved Emergent Plan as discussed below. 

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. 

126 

• 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. 

Pension plans 

The Company historically maintained a defined benefit plan for employees in certain countries outside the 
U.S.,  including  retirement  benefit  plans  required  by  applicable  local  law.  The  Company’s  defined  benefit  plan 
was  included  in  the  sale  of  the  travel  health  business  on  May  15,  2023.  See  Note  3,  “Divestiture”  for  more 
information. The plan was 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  reviewed  its  actuarial 
assumptions  on  an  annual  basis  and  made  modifications  to  the  assumptions  based  on  current  rates  and  trends. 
Actuarial gains and losses were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and were 
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 were 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.  From  time  to  time,  the  Company  enters  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 objective and strategy with respect to these interest rate swaps is to protect the Company 
against adverse fluctuations in interest rates. 

During  the  second  quarter  of  2023,  the  Company  terminated  its  designated  interest  rate  swap transactions 
with  a  total  notional  value  of  $350.0  million.  Hedge  accounting  was  also  discontinued  at  that  time.  As  of 
December  31,  2023,  all  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  associated  with  the  terminated  interest  rate 
swaps was amortized to earnings over the remaining term of the interest rate swaps prior to termination. 

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. See Note 9, “Derivative instruments 
and hedging activities” for further details on the interest rate swaps.

New Accounting Standards 

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted 

In  November  2023,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  board  (“FASB”)  issued  Accounting  Standards 
Update  (“ASU”)  2023-07  (“ASU  2023-07”),  Segment  Reporting  (Topic  280):  Improvements  to  Reportable 
Segment  Disclosures,  which  improves  reportable  segment  disclosure  requirements,  on  an  annual  and  interim 
basis,  primarily  through  enhanced  disclosures  about  significant  segment  expenses.  Additionally,  it  requires  a 
public entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The ASU does 
not  change  how  a  public  entity  identifies  its  operating  segments,  aggregates  them,  or  applies  the  quantitative 
thresholds  to  determine  its  reportable  segments.  The  amendments  in  the  ASU  are  effective  for  annual  periods 
beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, 
although  early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  Company  is  in  the  process  of  evaluating  the  impact  of  this  new 
guidance on its consolidated financial statements. 

In  December  2023,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2023-09,  Income  Taxes  (Topic  740):  Improvements  to  Income 
Tax  Disclosures,  requires  a  public  business  entity  (“PBE”)  to  disclose,  on  an  annual  basis,  a  tabular  rate 
reconciliation  using  both  percentages  and  currency  amounts,  broken  out  into  specified  categories  with  certain 
reconciling  items  further  broken  out  by  nature  and  jurisdiction  to  the  extent  those  items  exceed  a  specified 
threshold.  In  addition,  all  entities  are  required  to  disclose  income  taxes  paid,  net  of  refunds  received 
disaggregated by federal, state/local, and foreign and by jurisdiction if the amount is at least 5% of total income 
tax payments, net of refunds received. The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities for 
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the 
process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on it consolidated financial statements. 

3. Divestiture 

On May 15, 2023, pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), by 
and  between  the  Company,  through  its  wholly  owned  subsidiaries  Emergent  International  Inc.  and  Emergent 
Travel Health Inc., and Bavarian Nordic (“Bavarian Nordic”), the Company completed the previously announced 
sale  of  the  Company’s  travel  health  business,  including  rights  to  Vivotif®,  the  licensed  typhoid  vaccine; 
Vaxchora®,  the  licensed  cholera  vaccine;  the  development-stage  chikungunya  vaccine  candidate  CHIKV VLP; 
the Company’s manufacturing site in Bern, Switzerland; and certain of its development facilities in San Diego, 
California. 

At  the  closing,  Bavarian  Nordic  paid  a  cash  purchase  price  of  $270.2  million,  exclusive  of  customary 
closing adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses of the business at closing. 
Bavarian  Nordic  may  also  be  required  to  pay  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 
earn-out  payments  of  up  to  $30.0  million  based  on  aggregate  net  sales  of  Vaxchora® and Vivotif® in calendar 
year 2026. 

As a result of the divestiture, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a pre-tax 
gain of $74.2 million, net of transaction costs of $4.0 million recorded within “Gain on sale of business” on the 
Consolidated Statements of Operations. 

The Company determined that the disposal of the travel health business does not qualify for reporting as a 
discontinued  operation  since  it  does  not  represent  a  strategic  shift  that  has  or  will  have  a  major  effect  on  our 
operations and financial results. No adjustments were made to prior period results as a result of the disposal. 

In connection with the divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) with 
Bavarian Nordic to help support its ongoing operations. Under the TSA, the Company provides certain transition 
services  to  Bavarian  Nordic,  including  information  technology,  finance  and  enterprise  resource  planning, 

128 

research  and  development,  human  resources,  employee  benefits  and  other  limited  services.  Income  from 
performing  services  under  the  TSA  was  recorded  within  “Other,  net”  on  the  Consolidated  Statements  of 
Operations and was $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. 

4. Long-lived asset impairment and restructuring charges 

Impairment of long-lived assets 

The  Company  tests  its  long-lived  assets  that  are  held  and  used  for  recoverability  whenever  events  or 

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. 

During the second quarter of 2023, due to deterioration in performance and resulting downward revisions to 
our  internal  Bioservices  forecast  made  during  the  second  quarter,  including  future  expected  cash  flows,  the 
Company  determined  there  were  sufficient  indicators  of  impairment  on  certain  asset  groups  within  the 
Bioservices reporting unit to require an impairment analysis. As a result, the Company performed recoverability 
tests on certain asset groups within the Bioservices reporting unit and concluded that the impacted asset groups 
were not recoverable as the undiscounted expected cash flows did not exceed their carrying values. 

Asset groups are written down only to the extent that their carrying value is higher than their respective fair 
value. The Company, with the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, applied valuation methods to estimate 
the fair values for each of the assets within the different asset classes. An orderly liquidation value was applied to 
estimate  the  fair  value  of  the  personal  property  assets  and  market  and  cost  based  approaches  were  applied  to 
estimate  the  fair  value  of  the  real  property  assets.  All  of  the  valuation  approaches  applied  represented  Level  3 
non-recurring fair value measurements. Based on this analysis, the Company allocated and recognized a non-cash 
impairment charge of $306.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

January 2023 Organizational Restructuring Plan 

In  January  2023,  the  Company  initiated  an  organizational  restructuring  plan  (the  “January  2023  Plan”) 
intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing 
commitment  to  profitable  growth.  As  part  of  the  January  2023  Plan,  the  Company  reduced  its  workforce  by 
approximately  125  employees.  The  Company  incurred  $9.3  million  in  charges  during  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2023.  These  charges  consist  primarily  of  charges  related  to  employee  transition,  severance 
payments  and  employee  benefits.  All  activities  related  to  the  January  2023  Plan  were  substantially  completed 
during  the  first  quarter  of  2023.  Restructuring  costs  are  recognized  as  an  operating  expense  within  the 
Consolidated Statement of Operations and are classified based on the Company’s classification  policy for each 
category of operating expense. 

August 2023 Organizational Restructuring Plan 

In August 2023, the Company initiated  the August 2023 Plan intended to strengthen its core business and 
financial  position  by  reducing  investment  in  and  de-emphasizing  focus  on  its  Bioservices  business  for  future 

129 

 
growth. As part of the August 2023 Plan, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 400 employees. 
The Company incurred $20.0 million in charges in connection with the August 2023 Plan during the year ended 
December  31,  2023.  These  charges  consist  primarily  of  charges  related  to  severance  payments,  transition 
services,  and  employee  benefits.  All  activities  related  to  the  August  2023  Plan  were  substantially  completed 
during  the  third  quarter  of  2023.  Restructuring  costs  are  recognized  as  an  operating  expense  within  the 
Consolidated Statement of Operations and are classified based on the Company’s classification  policy for each 
category of operating expense.

(1)  Amounts for the Company’s Commercial Products segment include gross carrying values of $41.7 million 
as  of  December  31,  2023,  2022  and  2021,  and  accumulated  impairment  losses  of  $41.7  million  as  of 
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. 

(2)  Amounts for the Company’s MCM Products segment include gross carrying values of $218.2 million as of 
December  31,  2023,  2022  and  2021,  and  accumulated  impairment  losses  of  $218.2  million  as  of 
December 31, 2023. 

(3)  Amounts  for  the  Company’s  Services  segment  include  gross  carrying  values  of  $6.7  million  as  of 
December  31,  2023,  2022,  and  2021,  and  accumulated  impairment  losses  of  $6.7  million  as  of 
December 31, 2023 and 2022. 

The Company performs its goodwill impairment evaluation annually, during the fourth quarter, or sooner if 
triggering  events  are  identified.  During  the  third  quarter  of  2023,  the  Company  observed  continued  market 
volatility  including  significant  declines  in  its  market  capitalization  and  revised  its  financial  outlook  during  the 
third  quarter  of  2023,  which  was  identified  as  a  triggering  event.  As  a  result  of  the  quantitative  assessments 
performed  in  connection  with  the  preparation  of  the  financial  statements  as  of  and  for  the  quarter  ended 
September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $218.2 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the MCM 
Products  reporting  unit,  which  is  included  in  “Goodwill  impairment”  on  the  Consolidated  Statement  of 
Operations  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2023.  The  MCM  Products  reporting  unit  and  segment  had  no 
remaining goodwill as of December 31, 2023. The goodwill impairment charge resulted from a reduction in the 
estimated  fair  value  of  the  MCM  reporting  unit  due  to  changes  in  the  risk  profile  of  the  Company  as  well  as 
revisions  to  the  long-term  operating  plan  that  reflected  lower  expectations  for  growth  and  profitability  than 
previous expectations. The Company used a quantitative assessment, utilizing an income-based (discounted cash 
flows) approach, Level 3 non-recurring fair value measurement, for its goodwill impairment testing.

Contingent consideration 

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 Consolidated 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, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

Non-Variable Rate Debt 

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the Company’s 3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes was 
$184.3 million and $225.1 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 10, “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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, other 
than those liabilities mentioned above and those assets outlined in Note 7 “Intangible assets and goodwill”, there 
were no material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. 

9. 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.  From  time  to  time,  the  Company  enters  into  interest  rate  swap 
transactions  to  manage  exposures  that  arise  from  payments  of  variable  interest  rate  debt  associated  with  the 
Company’s senior secured credit agreements. The objective and strategy with respect to these interest rate swaps 
is to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates. 

During  the  second  quarter  of  2023,  the  Company  terminated  its  designated  interest  rate  swap transactions 
with  a  total  notional  value  of  $350.0  million.  Hedge  accounting  was  also  discontinued  at  that  time.  As  of 
December  31,  2023,  there  was  no  remaining  accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  associated  with  the 
terminated interest rate swaps. 

The  table  below  presents  the  fair  value  of  the  Company’s  derivative  financial  instruments  designated  as 

hedges as well as their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Prior  to  their  termination,  the  valuation  of  the  interest  rate  swaps  was  determined  using  widely  accepted 
valuation  techniques,  including  discounted  cash  flow  analysis  on  the  expected  cash  flows  of  each  interest  rate 
swap.  This  analysis  reflected  the  contractual  terms  of  the  interest  rate  swaps,  including  the  period  to  maturity, 

135 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of 
interest  rate  swaps  were  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) were based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from 
observable  market  interest  rate  curves.  We  incorporated  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 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. 

The  following  table  summarizes  the  amount  of  gains  or  losses  reclassified  from  “Accumulated  other 
comprehensive  income (loss), net” into “Interest  expense” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations during

During  the  years  ended  December  31,  2023  and  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, 2023 and 2022, the Company 
had $5.3 million and $1.3 million of debt issuance costs associated with the revolver loan, 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 “2028 Notes”). Interest on the 2028 Notes is payable on February 
15th and August 15th of each year until maturity, beginning on February 15, 2021. The 2028 Notes will mature 
on August 15, 2028. 

As of August 15, 2023, the Company may redeem the 2028 Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption 
prices set forth in the related indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. As of August 15, 2023, the Company 
may redeem all or a portion of the 2028 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 

136 

 
 
 
 
 
2028 Notes plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest as set forth in the related indenture. 
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the Company must offer to repurchase the 2028 Notes at a purchase 
price of 101% of the principal amount of such 2028 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. 

Negative covenants in the indenture governing the 2028 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 Facilities 

On  May  15,  2023,  the  Company  entered  into  the  Fourth  Amendment  to  Amended  and  Restated  Credit 
Agreement,  Waiver  and  First  Amendment  to  Amended  and  Restated  Collateral  Agreement  (the  “Credit 
Agreement  Amendment”).  The  Credit  Agreement  Amendment  amended  the  existing  Amended  and  Restated 
Credit  Agreement  to,  among  other  things,  (a)  extend  the  maturity  date  of  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities 
from  October  13,  2023  to  May  15,  2025,  (b)  reduce  the  available  commitments  under  the  Revolving  Credit 
Facility from $600.0 million to $300.0 million, (c) remove the Company’s ability to incur incremental loans and 
(d)  amend  certain  mandatory  prepayment  triggers,  affirmative  covenants,  negative  covenants  and  events  of 
default thereunder. In connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company used the approximately 
$270.2  million  of  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  its  travel  health  business  to  Bavarian  Nordic,  which  closed  on 
May  15,  2023,  together  with  approximately  $217.2  million  of  cash  on  hand,  to  repay  approximately 
$144.4  million  in  outstanding  principal  amount  of  loans  under  the  Term  Loan  Facility  and  $342.8  million 
outstanding  principal  amount of loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement Amendment 
also requires that the Company make quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan Facility of approximately 
$3.9 million, which commenced on June 30, 2023 and will extend through March 31, 2025. 

The Credit Agreement Amendment also (i) amended the consolidated debt service coverage ratio financial 
covenant to require the minimum level to be 2.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending March 31, 2024, June 30, 
2024,  September  30,  2024  and  December  31,  2024,  and  then  2.50  to  1.00  for  each  fiscal  quarter  ending 
thereafter, (ii) amended the consolidated leverage ratio to require the maximum level to be 4.50 to 1.00 for the 
fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024 and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, (iii) added minimum Consolidated 
EBITDA requirements and maximum capital expenditure requirements for each of the months ending April 30, 
2023 through February 29, 2024 and a minimum liquidity requirement as of the end of each calendar month and 
(iv) requires the Company to increase its liquidity by April 30, 2024 by raising at least $75.0 million of equity or 
unsecured  indebtedness.  See  Note  2,  “Summary  of  significant  accounting  policies”  for  additional  information 
related to the Company’s compliance with the debt covenants described above. 

In  addition,  the  Credit  Agreement  Amendment  replaced  the  interest  rate  benchmark  such  that  borrowings 
under the Revolving Credit Facility  and the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Facility shall bear 
interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) a rate based on SOFR, EURIBOR or CDOR plus a margin of 6.00% until 
March  31,  2024  and  thereafter,  a  margin  ranging  from  2.75%  to  4.00%  depending  on  the  Company’s 
consolidated leverage ratio, or (b) a base rate (which is the highest of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 
0.50%, and a SOFR rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%) plus a margin of 5.00% until March 31, 
2024 and thereafter, a margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.00% depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage 
ratio.  In  addition,  the  commitment  fee  the  Company  is  required  to  pay  in  respect  of  the  annual  daily  unused 
commitments  under  the  Revolving  Credit  Facility  shall  be  0.15%  to  0.40%  per  annum,  depending  on  the 
Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. 

Under the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company and the other guarantors also agreed to provide a 
lien  over  certain  assets  as  additional  collateral  for  the  benefit  of  the  lenders,  including  owned  real  property, 
equity interests of foreign subsidiaries and certain deposit accounts. 

137 

On February  29, 2024, the Company entered  into the Forbearance Agreement and Amendment to, among 
other  things,  (a)  provide  that  the  Administrative  Agent  and  the  Lenders  forbear  from  exercising  all  rights  and 
remedies  under  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  and  the  other  related  loan  documents  arising  from  the 
occurrence and continuation of certain specified events of default during the Forbearance Period and (b) provide 
consent  by  the  required  revolving  credit  lenders  to  make  further  loans  to  the  Company  or  other  extensions  of 
credit to the credit parties during the Forbearance Period, notwithstanding the occurrence of the specified events 
of  default,  subject  to  certain  conditions  set  forth  in  the  Forbearance  Agreement  and  Amendment,  including  a 
limit  on  Revolving  Credit  Facility  indebtedness  of $270 million.  The Forbearance  Agreement  and Amendment 
also amends, among other things, (x)(A) the interest rate benchmark to provide that borrowings shall bear interest 
at a rate per annum equal to 5.00% with respect to Base Rate Loans, (B) the interest rate benchmark from 6.00% 
per annum to 6.50% per annum with respect to SOFR Loans, Daily Simple SONIA Loans and Eurocurrency Rate 
Loans,  and  (C)  0.40%  with  respect  to  Commitment  Fees,  (y)  the  mandatory  prepayment  threshold  amount  for 
unrestricted  cash  and  cash  equivalents  from  $125,000,000  to  $100,000,000,  and  (z)  the  mandatory  principal 
prepayment  amount  from  75%  of  all  milestone  payments  received  by  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  from 
certain project milestone payments to 100%. Under the Forbearance Agreement and Amendment, the Company 
and the other guarantors have also agreed to cause Emergent BioSolutions Canada Inc. to (i) become a guarantor 
under  the  Senior  Secured  Credit  Facilities  and  (ii)  grant  a  security  lien  in  all  collateral  owned  by  Emergent 
BioSolutions Canada Inc. (subject to the exclusions and exceptions specified in the Collateral Agreement) to the 
Administrative  Agent.  In  addition,  in  connection  with  the  entry  into  the  Forbearance  Agreement  and 
Amendment, the Company paid a forbearance fee of approximately $1.2 million. Refer to Note 2, “Summary of 
significant accounting policies” for further discussion of the Forbearance Agreement and Amendment.

shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the Inducement Plan and no shares had been issued 
under the Inducement Plan. The exercise price of each option must be not less than 100% of the fair market value 
of  the  shares  underlying  such  option  on  the  date  of  grant.  Options  granted  under  the  Emergent  Plan  and  the 
Inducement Plan have a contractual life of seven years.

(1)  Performance stock units granted and forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2023 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, 2023, 2022 
and 2021 was $31.8 million, $30.9 million and $26.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there was 
$22.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units. That cost is expected 
to be recognized straight-line over a weighted average period of 1.8 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  200%  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,  2023,  2022  and  2021  was  $2.4  million,  $2.5  million  and  $3.8  million,  respectively.  As  of 
December 31, 2023, there was $2.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested performance 
stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized straight-line over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

12. 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 common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share 
adjusts basic loss per common share for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares and is calculated using 
the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive common shares include the dilutive effect of shares issuable under 
our  equity  compensation  plans,  including  stock  options,  restricted  stock  units  and  performance  stock  units. 
Diluted  net  income  (loss)  per  share  excludes  anti-dilutive  securities,  which  represent  the  number  of  potential 
common shares related to shares issuable under our equity compensation plans that were excluded from diluted 
net  income  (loss)  per  common  share  because  their  effect  would  have  been  antidilutive.  No  adjustment  for  the 
potential dilutive effect of dilutive securities is reported for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 as the 
effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss.

share closing price during the year ending December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and 2021, aside from sales to the USG, there were no sales to an 
individual customer in excess of 10% of total revenues. 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’s  revenue  accounted  for  10%  and  was  primarily  attributable  to  the  MCM  Products  segment.  For  the 
years  ended  December  31,  2023,  2022,  and  2021,  the  Company’s  revenues  from  customers  within  the  United 
States comprised 58%, 79% and 92%, 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 Janssen 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 Janssen 
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  Janssen  Agreement  and  (ii)  to  confirm 
Janssen’s  intent  to  not  purchase  the  requisite  minimum  quantity  of  the  Product  pursuant  to  the  Janssen 
Agreement  and  instead,  wind-down  the  Janssen  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  Janssen  Agreement  for  asserted  material  breaches  of  the  Janssen  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 Janssen 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  Janssen  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,  2023  there  were  no  impacts  on  previously  recognized  revenue  or 
depreciation related to the conclusion of the Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has no billed or 
unbilled net accounts receivable related to the Agreement. 

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, because the arbitration  process is expected to extend longer than 
one year, the Company reclassified amounts related to the Janssen Agreement from “Inventories, net” and from 
“Prepaid  expenses  and  other  current  assets”  to  “Other  assets”,  resulting  in  $152.7  million  in  long-term  assets 
related  to  the  Janssen  Agreement  on  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  as  of  December  31,  2022.  The  long-term 
asset  balance  within  “Other  Assets”  related  to  the  Janssen  Agreement  as  of  December  31,  2023  was 
$158.8  million.  These  assets  include  termination  penalties,  certain  inventory  related  items  and  raw  materials 
inventory  representing  materials  purchased  for  the  Janssen  Agreement  which  Janssen  has  not  reimbursed.  The 
Company evaluated the net realizable value of the inventory as of December 31, 2023, concluding that because 
the Janssen 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.  As of  December  31, 2023, all  non-cancelable  orders  have been 
received by Janssen and are included in the long-term asset balance within “Other Assets”. 

BARDA  Centers  of  Innovation  and  Advanced  Development  and  Manufacturing  Agreement 
(“CIADM”) 

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 years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Revenue associated 
with  the  base  arrangement  was  $71.3  million  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021  and  is  reflected  as  a 
component  of  contracts  and  grants  revenue  on  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations.  Revenue  associated 
with the BARDA COVID-19 Development Public-Private Partnership was $243.1 million during the year ended 
December 31, 2021 and is recorded as Bioservices “Leases” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Bioservices Operating Leases 

Certain multi-year Bioservices 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 5.0 
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,  2023,  the  Company’s  non-USG  lease  revenues  were  $5.7  million,  which  is  included  within 
Bioservices  “Leases”  on  the  Consolidated  Statement  of  Operations.  Excluding  future  amounts  related  to  the 
Agreement  as  discussed  above,  the  Company  estimates  future  operating  lease  revenues  to  be  $0.8  million  in 
2024, $0.9 million in 2025, $0.9 million in 2026, $0.9 million in 2027, $0.9 million in 2028 and no lease revenue 
in 2029 and beyond 

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has future contract value on unsatisfied performance obligations of 
approximately  $379.5  million  associated  with  all  arrangements  entered  into  by  the  Company.  The  Company 
expects  to  recognize  $372.3  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. 

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 
the  Company  had  $21.9  million  and  $34.8  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 amounts 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:

14. Leases 

The  Company  is  the  lessee  for  operating  leases  for  offices,  R&D  facilities  and  manufacturing  facilities, 
which  may  include  renewal  or  termination  options.  The  Company  determines  if  an  arrangement  is  a  lease  at 
inception.  Operating  leases  are  included  in  ROU  assets  and  liabilities.  The  Company’s  leases  have  remaining 
lease terms of less than one year to approximately 10 years. Most leases included one or more options to renew, 
with renewal terms that can extend the lease term up to five years. For a discussion of lessor activities, refer to 
Note 13, “Revenue recognition”.

15. 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,  2023,  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 an additional valuation allowance of $192.7 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 years ended 
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. BEAT provisions do not have material impact on the consolidated financial 
statements. 

For the year ended December 31, 2023, 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 $5.5 million. All other international subsidiaries’ outside basis 
differences are indefinitely reinvested.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has approximately $279.3 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 
$243.3  million  which  will  carryforward  indefinitely,  although,  limited  to  eighty  percent  of  taxable  income 
annually.  The  Company  has  U.S.  federal  tax  credit  carryforwards  of  $16.9  million  which  will  expire  in  2027 
through 2042. 

As  of  December  31,  2023,  the  Company  had  post-apportionment  NOLs  totaling  approximately 
$667.6  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 
carryforwards is materially limited, it would harm our future operating results by effectively increasing our future 
tax obligations. 

The  Company  has  approximately  $55.7  million  in  net  operating  losses  from  foreign  jurisdictions  as  of 

December 31, 2023, which will carryforward indefinitely. 

The  Company’s  valuation  allowance  increased  by  $192.7  million  due  to  the  Company’s  generation  of 

significant losses in 2023. 

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:

The  effective  annual  tax  rate  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2023,  2022,  and  2021  was  (4)%,  3%  and 

28%, respectively. 

The effective annual tax rate of (4)% in 2023 is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of a 
valuation allowance charge in the U.S., state and certain Foreign Jurisdictions, goodwill impairment, GILTI, and 
other permanent items. This is partially offset by tax credits and favorable rates in foreign jurisdictions. 

The effective annual tax rate of 3% in 2022 is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of a 
valuation  allowance  charge  in  the  U.S.,  state  and  certain  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 28% 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.  Bioservices  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. 

The  total  unrecognized  tax  benefits  recorded  at  December  31,  2023  and  2022  of  $6.6  million  and 

$6.8 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,

$ 6.6  $ 6.8  $12.7 

The total gross unrecognized tax benefit of $6.6 million, includes the release of $0.7 million of liability that 

related to the 2019 R&D and other reserves due to a lapse of the statute of limitations during the year. 

The  Company  includes  interest  and  potential  penalties  related  to  unrecognized  tax  benefits  in  income  tax 
expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the total amount of interest and penalties accrued was $1.6 million, 
respectively, in each of the years. The Company recognized interest and penalty expense (benefit) in 2023, 2022 
and 2021 of $0.2 million, $(2.1) million and $1.1 million, respectively. 

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,  2023  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  2020  and  onwards  remain  open  to 
examination. The Company’s tax returns for Canada remain open to examination for the tax years 2015 through 
2022. The Company’s Irish tax returns remain open to examination for the tax years 2017 through 2022.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s 2018 and 2020 Canadian Scientific Research and Experimental 
Development  Claims  are  subject  to  proceedings  with  the  Tax  Court  of  Canada  and  the  Company’s  2021 
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 through 2022 Michigan state 
income tax returns are under audit. 

16. Defined benefit and 401(k) savings plan 

Define benefit pension plan 

The  Company  historically  sponsored  a  defined  benefit  pension  plan  covering  eligible  employees  in 
Switzerland  (the  “Swiss  Plan”),  which  was  sold  as  part  of  our  travel  health  business  to  Bavarian  Nordic,  as 
described further in Note 3, “Divestiture”. Under the Swiss Plan, the Company and certain of its employees with 
annual  earnings  in  excess  of  government  determined  amounts  were  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  were  comprised  of  an  insurance  contract  that  had  a  fair 
value  consistent  with  its  contract  value  based  on  the  practicability  exception  using  Level  3  inputs.  The  entire 
liability was listed as non-current because plan assets were greater than the expected benefit payments over the 
next year. The Company recognized pension expense related to the Swiss Plan of $0.6 million, $0.8 million and 
$2.0  million,  reflected  as  a  component  of  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses,  for  the  years  ended 
December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 

The funded status of the Swiss Plan for the years ended December 31, 2022 is as follows:

There were no future benefits expected to be paid as of December 31, 2023. 

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, 2023, 2022 and 2021, 
the  Company  made  matching  contributions  of  approximately  $8.3  million,  $8.8  million  and  $8.9  million, 
respectively. 

17. Purchase commitments 

We enter into agreements in the normal course of business with vendors for raw materials and other goods 
or services. Purchase commitments are agreements to purchase raw materials and services that are enforceable, 

152 

 
 
 
 
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.  Purchase  commitments  exclude 
agreements that are cancellable without penalty. 

As  of  December  31,  2023,  the  Company  has  approximately  $526.9  million  of  purchase  commitments 
associated  with  raw  materials  and  Bioservices  that  will  be  purchased  in  the  next  five  years,  of  which  the 
Company  estimates  that  approximately  $117.0  million  will  be  purchased  within  the  next  year.  For  the  years 
ended  December  31,  2023,  2022,  and  2021,  the  Company  purchased  $107.8  million,  $199.6  million  and 
$110.7 million, respectively, of materials and services under these commitments. 

18. Segment information 

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2023,  we  realigned  our  reportable  operating  segments  to  reflect  recent  changes  in 
our  internal  operating  and  reporting  process.  The  revised  reporting  structure  reflects  the  internal  reporting  and 
review process used by our CODM for making decisions and assessing performance and is consistent with how 
we currently manage the business. We now manage our business with a focus on three reportable segments. Our 
Commercial Products segment, which includes NARCAN® products and other commercial products which were 
sold  as  part  of  our  travel  health  business  in  the  second  quarter  of  2023  (see  Note  3,  “Divestiture”  for  more 
information on the sale of the travel health business), our MCM Products segment, which includes the Anthrax—
MCM  products,  Smallpox—MCM  products  and  Other  Products,  and  our  Services  segment  consisting  of  our 
Bioservices offerings. 

The  Company  evaluates  the  performance  of  these  reportable  segments  based  on  revenue  and  segment 
adjusted  gross  margin,  which  is  a  non-GAAP  financial  measure.  Segment  revenue  includes  external  customer 
sales, but it does not include inter-segment services. We define segment adjusted gross margin, as segment gross 
margin  excluding  the  impact  of  restructuring  costs  and  non-cash  items  related  to  changes  in  fair  value  of 
contingent consideration and inventory step-up provision. We define total segment adjusted gross margin, which 
is  a  non-GAAP  financial  measure,  as  total  segment  gross  margin,  excluding  the  impact  of  restructuring  costs, 
inventory  step-up  provision  and  the  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  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. 

For all tables presented below, the prior period disclosures have been recast to conform to the current period 

segment presentation.

19. Litigation 

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 
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 (the “Lead Plaintiffs”) 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 Plaintiffs filed an opposition to that motion on July 19, 2022. A hearing 
on  the  motion  to  dismiss  was  conducted  on  April  19,  2023  and  an  order  was  entered  on  September  1,  2023, 
granting in part and denying in part the motion to dismiss. The defendant’s answer to the complaint was filed on 
October 30, 2023. 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,  and  on  November  2,  2023,  the  Court  approved  the 
parties’ joint stipulation to extend the stay of the proceedings and discovery until the close of fact discovery in 
the Federal Securities Class Action. 

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 
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.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Our  management,  with  the  participation  of  our  interim  chief  executive  officer  and  chief  financial  officer, 
evaluated  the  effectiveness  of  our  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  as  of  December  31,  2023.  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, 2023, our interim chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, 
that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. 

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.  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.  Our  system  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  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.  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, 2023. 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,  2023,  our 
internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria. 

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, 2023, a copy of which is included in this Annual Report on Form 
10-K. 

158 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a material weakness was identified related to the design of 
our controls associated with the review of the calculation of our state deferred tax assets and liabilities and the 
operating  effectiveness  of  the  controls  associated  with  the  review  of  the  valuation  allowance  calculation  and 
included  in  Amendment  No.  1  to  the  Company’s  Annual  Report  on  Form  10-K  for  the  fiscal  year  ended 
December 31, 2022 

To  remediate  the  material  weakness  and  as  part  of  our  commitment  to  strengthening  our  internal  control 
over  financial  reporting,  we  enhanced  and  revised  the  design  of  existing  controls  and  procedures  to  properly 
assess the state income taxes issue. 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, we successfully completed the testing necessary to conclude 

that the material weakness has been remediated. 

Except  those  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, 2023 
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,  2023,  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,  Emergent  BioSolutions  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  (the  Company)  maintained,  in  all  material  respects, 
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria. 

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, 2023 and 2022, 
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,  2023,  and  the  related  notes  and 
financial  statement  schedule  listed  in  the  Index  at  Item  15  and  our  report  dated  March  8,  2024,  expressed  an 
unqualified opinion thereon 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 
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. 

160 

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.

For 25 years, Emergent has been a leader in public health preparedness, delivering products that 

protect our communities and responding to global health challenges. 2023 demonstrated what we at 

Emergent know to be true—public health threats remain omnipresent.

In the United States, the opioid epidemic continued to worsen, with an American dying from an opioid 

overdose every six minutes. In addition, the global conflicts and geo-political issues of today rein-

force that being prepared for chemical or biologic threats must be a priority.

Emergent is uniquely positioned to respond to these pressing and urgent public health threats.

On March 29, 2023, the FDA approved NARCAN® Nasal Spray as an over-the-counter (OTC) emer-

gency treatment of opioid overdose, making it the first 4mg naloxone nasal spray  to receive OTC sta-

tus in the U.S. Last August, we officially shipped over the counter NARCAN® Nasal Spray to leading 

brick-and-mortar and online retailers, offering more people the ability  to respond in the event of an 

opioid overdose emergency. This is just one of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to doing 

our part  in the fight to reduce the number of opioid overdose deaths each day.

We also achieved important milestones for our medical countermeasures business. In July, we re-

ceived FDA approval of CYFENDUS® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, Adjuvanted) previously known as 

AV7909 , a two-dose anthrax vaccine for post-exposure prophylaxis use. This 20-year development 

process and subsequent approval represents Emergent’s longstanding partnership with the U.S. 

government and demonstrates the scientific and technical skill of our teams. In addition, we were 

awarded contracts with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA)

for  advanced development and procurement of Ebanga™ (ansuvimab-zykl), a licensed treatment for 

Ebola virus disease (EVD), and an option to procure doses of CYFENDUS® vaccine.

Additionally, we continued to foster a culture of quality  and compliance to ensure we’re produc-

ing high-quality  products for patients. In October, we received a “Warning Letter close-out letter” 

regarding our Camden facility, stating that Emergent has adequately addressed the violations con-

tained in the August 2022 Warning Letter.

Over the last year prior to my appointment as president & CEO, Emergent made strategic and oper-

ational adjustments to strengthen its financial position and right-size the business. This includes 

divesting our travel health business and de-emphasizing the growth of our contract development 

and manufacturing operations (CDMO) business, while we prioritize our core products. In 2024,  we  

will continue to take actions to derisk our balance sheet and reduce debt to support the ongoing 

transformation  of our business.

It’s a privilege to lead Emergent and chart a  new chapter in this vital space. Whether it’s increas-

ing access to NARCAN® Nasal Spray to help combat the opioid epidemic or continuing to deliver 

important medical countermeasures to customers around the world, Emergent is providing critical 

products to address global health crisis in an increasingly dangerous world.

I am proud of the Emergent team’s dedication to protecting and enhancing life, and I’m confident in  

the long-term success of the company. I look forward to advancing the company’s progress, improv-

ing its financial position, and driving value for shareholders.

Sincerely,

Joseph C. Papa
