FOURTH QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE⁽¹⁾

Revenues

The Company uses the following categories in discussing product/service level revenues:

• Naloxone — comprises contributions from NARCAN^® Nasal Spray and KLOXXADO^® Nasal Spray
• Anthrax MCM — comprises contributions from CYFENDUS^®, BioThrax^®, ANTHRASIL^® and Raxibacumab
• Smallpox MCM — comprises contributions from ACAM2000^®, CNJ-016^® (VIGIV) and TEMBEXA^®

Product Sales, net ⁽⁴⁾

Naloxone

For Q4 2025, revenues from Naloxone products decreased $26.7 million, or 41%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales of OTC NARCAN^® and lower Canadian sales of branded NARCAN^®, driven primarily by increased competition due to generics impacting price and unit sales, partially offset by an increase in KLOXXADO^® sales.

Anthrax MCM

For Q4 2025, revenues from Anthrax MCM products increased $20.9 million, or 64%, as compared with Q4 2024. The increase primarily reflects the impact of timing on U.S. government (the "USG") and foreign sales of BioThrax^® and ANTHRASIL^® (AIG), partially offset by a decrease in CYFENDUS^® product 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 of USG purchases, the availability of governmental funding and the Company’s delivery of orders that follow.

Smallpox MCM

For Q4 2025, revenues from Smallpox MCM products decreased $41.0 million, or 54%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of timing on USG sales of ACAM2000^® and both USG and international sales of CNJ-016^® (VIGIV), partially offset by an increase in USG sales of 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 Company delivery of orders that follow.

Other Products

For Q4 2025, revenues from Other Product sales increased $2.5 million, or 32%, as compared with Q4 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher international BAT^® sales, partially offset by a decrease in USG sales orders due to timing.

All Other Revenues

Services

For Q4 2025, revenues from Services decreased $1.2 million, or 16%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower production at the Company’s Winnipeg facility.

Contracts and Grants

For Q4 2025, revenues from contracts and grants decreased $0.5 million, or 9%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decline in overall funded research and development ("R&D") projects, partially offset by an increase in development work in connection with Ebanga^TM.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Product and Services Sales, Net

For Q4 2025, cost of product and services sales, net decreased $33.1 million, or 28%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was driven by decreases in cost of MCM Product sales of $23.1 million, cost of Commercial Product sales of $6.6 million and cost of Bioservices of $3.4 million.

R&D Expenses

For Q4 2025, R&D expenses increased $3.0 million, or 33%, as compared with Q4 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in Ebanga™ related development work.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses

For Q4 2025, SG&A expenses decreased $9.7 million, or 16%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower marketing, professional services and legal expenses, combined with a decrease in compensation and other employee related expenses as a result of the restructuring initiatives that took place from January of 2023 through September 2025.

ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION⁽¹⁾

Capital Expenditures

For Q4 2025, capital expenditures increased primarily due to increased development activities across the Company’s facilities.

REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company manages the business with a focus on three operating segments: (1) a Commercial Products segment consisting of NARCAN^® Nasal Spray and KLOXXADO^® Nasal Spray; (2) a MCM Products segment consisting of Anthrax - MCM, Smallpox - MCM and Other products and (3) a services segment consisting of our Bioservices offerings (“Services”). Commercial Products and MCM Products are our two reportable segments. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s determined that its Services operating segment no longer met the quantitative thresholds of a reportable segment and did not meet the aggregation criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and as such is categorized within “All other revenues” along with “Contracts and Grants.” The Company evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on revenues and segment adjusted gross margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Segment revenue includes external customer sales, but does not include inter-segment services. The Company does not allocate contracts and grants revenue, R&D, SG&A, amortization of intangible assets, interest and other income (expense) or taxes to its evaluation of the performance of these segments.

FOURTH QUARTER 2025 REPORTABLE SEGMENT RESULTS

Cost of Commercial Products sales decreased $6.6 million, or 20%, to $26.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales of OTC NARCAN^® and lower Canadian sales of branded NARCAN^®, partially offset by an increase in KLOXXADO^® sales.

Commercial Products gross margin decreased $20.1 million, or 90%, to $2.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Commercial Products gross margin percentage decreased 28 percentage points to 6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was largely due to an unfavorable price and volume mix in 2025 for NARCAN^® products. Commercial Products segment adjusted gross margin in the current year period excludes the impact of intangible asset amortization of $9.5 million.

Cost of MCM product sales decreased $23.1 million, or 32%, to $49.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower production costs for ACAM2000^®, CYFENDUS^® and CNJ-016^® (VIGIV) due to sales volumes, combined with favorable manufacturing variances due to lower inventory reserves and shut-down costs, partially offset by an increase in costs related to higher sales volume of TEMBEXA^®, ANTHRASIL^® and BioThrax^®.

MCM Products gross margin increased $5.5 million, or 15%, to $43.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. MCM Products gross margin percentage increased 12 percentage points to 44% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The increase was largely due to a favorable product price and volume mix weighted more heavily to higher margin products and the favorable manufacturing variance impacts described above. MCM Product segment adjusted gross margin in the current year period excludes the impact of intangible asset amortization of $6.8 million and inventory step-up provision of $3.6 million.

YTD 2025 REPORTABLE SEGMENT RESULTS

Cost of Commercial Products sales decreased $55.8 million, or 30%, to $130.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales of OTC NARCAN^® and lower Canadian sales of branded NARCAN^®, partially offset by an increase in KLOXXADO^® sales.

Commercial Products gross margin decreased $117.0 million, or 67%, to $58.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Commercial Products gross margin percentage decreased 18 percentage points to 26% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to an unfavorable price and volume mix of OTC NARCAN^® and lower Canadian sales of branded NARCAN^®, partially offset by an increase in KLOXXADO^® sales. Commercial Product segment adjusted gross margin in the current year excludes the impact of intangible asset amortization of $37.8 million and restructuring costs of $0.2 million.
 

Cost of MCM product sales decreased $56.3 million, or 26%, to $163.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to favorable manufacturing variances, mostly due to lower shut-down and severance costs and lower inventory reserves, as well as lower production costs reflecting reduced volumes on ACAM2000^® and CYFENDUS^®, and no RSDL^® related costs in 2025 due to the sale of RSDL^® to SERB in the third quarter of 2024. These decreases were partially offset by higher costs for ANTHRASIL^® and TEMBEXA^® due to higher unit volume.

MCM Products gross margin increased $3.2 million, or 1%, to $266.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. MCM Products gross margin percentage increased 6 percentage points to 58% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to a favorable product sales mix which was weighted more heavily to higher margin products and a decrease in shut-down and severance costs and inventory reserves compared with the prior year period. MCM Product segment adjusted gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2025, excludes the impacts of intangible asset amortization of $27.3 million, inventory step-up provision of $5.4 million, and restructuring benefits of $1.0 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated and segment financial information that may not be presented in our financial statements or prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain of these financial measures are considered not in conformity with GAAP (“non-GAAP financial measures”) under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. Specifically, we have referred to the following non-GAAP financial measures:

• Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
• Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share
• Adjusted EBITDA
• Adjusted EBITDA Margin
• Adjusted Gross Margin
• Adjusted Gross Margin %
• Segment Adjusted Gross Margin
• Segment Adjusted Gross Margin %
  
   

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as net income (loss) and net income (loss) per diluted share, respectively, excluding the impact of non-cash amortization charges, impairments, severance and restructuring costs (benefits), inventory step-up provision, acquisition and divestiture costs, exit and disposal costs, gain on sale of business, settlement charges, net, contingent consideration milestones, changes in fair value of financial instruments, loss (gain) on debt extinguishment, other expense (income) items and tax effects. We use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share. Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share to assess total Company operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results and GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with an additional understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends.

We define Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, net, and excluding impairments, inventory step-up provision, changes in fair value of financial instruments, severance and restructuring costs (benefits), exit and disposal costs, acquisition and divestiture costs, gain on sale of business, settlement charges, net, contingent consideration milestone, loss (gain) on debt extinguishment, and other expense (income) items. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenues. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results and GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends. In addition, EBITDA is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by many of our competitors. It is used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and others to value and compare the financial performance of companies in our industry, although it may be defined differently by different companies. Therefore, we also believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, considered along with corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results with the operating results of other companies.

We define Adjusted Gross Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Gross Margin, excluding the impact of intangible asset amortization, inventory step-up provision, settlement charges, net, restructuring costs (benefits), and changes in the fair value of financial instruments. We define Adjusted Gross Margin %, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Adjusted Gross Margin as a percentage of Products and services sales, net.

We define Segment Adjusted Gross Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as a segment's Gross Margin excluding the respective impact of intangible asset amortization, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, inventory step-up provision, and restructuring costs (benefits). We define Segment Adjusted Gross Margin %, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Segment Adjusted Gross Margin as a percentage of a segment's revenues.

Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable with other similarly titled measures of other companies. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are a matter of management judgment and depend upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
