  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 10 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”).

The Company manages the business with a focus onthree operating segments: (1) a Commercial Products segment consisting of NARCAN®Nasal Spray and other commercial products that were sold as part of our travel health business in the second quarter of 2023 (see Note 3, “Divestitures” 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 segment consisting of our Bioservices offerings (See Note 18, “Segment information” for more information on our reportable segments).

See Note 3, “Divestitures” for more information on the RSDL® Transaction.

Services Segment:

Bioservices - CDMO

The Company’s services revenue consists of distinct but interrelated bioservices: drug substance manufacturing; drug 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 the Company refers to as “molecule-to-market” offerings, employ diverse technology platforms (mammalian, microbial, viral and plasma) across a network of development and manufacturing sites operated by the Company for its internal products and pipeline candidates and third-party bioservices. The Company services 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. In May 2024, the Company initiated a further organizational restructuring plan (the “May 2024 Plan”) announcing the closure of the Company’s Baltimore-Bayview Drug Substance manufacturing facility and Rockville, Maryland Drug Product facility. Additionally, on August 20, 2024, pursuant to the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), the Company completed the sale of its Drug Product facility in Baltimore-Camden (the “Camden Transaction”) to Bora Pharmaceuticals Injectables Inc., a subsidiary of Bora Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (“Bora”). See Note 3, “Divestitures” and Note 4, “Impairment and restructuring charges” for more information related to these announcements.

  1. 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. For presentation purposes, reclassifications of certain items have been made for comparability.

Liquidity and capital resources

The Company has historically financed its operating and capital expenditures through existing cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations, development contracts and grant funding and borrowings under various credit agreements, including the Term Loan Agreement (as defined below) and other lines of credit it has established from time to time.

In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in prior periods including through the second quarter of 2024, the Company took into account the potential mitigating effects of management’s previously disclosed plans to mitigate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which plans had not yet been fully implemented. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company made significant progress implementing these plans, which progress is described below. As a result, the Company concluded that as of September 30, 2024, it alleviated substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the 2024 third quarter financial statements were issued.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a credit agreement which provides for a term loan (the “Term Loan”) of $250.0 million (the “Term Loan Agreement”) and a credit agreement for asset-based revolving loans (the “Revolving Credit Agreement” and together with the Term Loan Agreement, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) with maturity dates that can extend through the second quarter of 2029. Also during the third quarter, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated October 15, 2018, by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto from time to time, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Administrative Agent (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). As of December 31, 2024, there was $250.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for commitments with respect to asset-based revolver loans (the “Revolving Loans”) of up to the lesser of (x) $100.0 million, which may be increased (but not above $125.0 million, or the “Maximum Revolver Amount”) or decreased (but not below $50.0 million) by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and (y) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). Once reduced, the facility may not be increased. As of December 31, 2024, there wereno outstanding Revolving Loans. For more information about the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, see Note 10, “Debt” for a discussion of the material terms and financial covenants. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all the covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated cash through the sale of certain assets, including the RSDL® Transaction, which provided for a cash purchase price of approximately $75.0 million; and the Camden Transaction, which provided for a cash purchase price of approximately $35.0 million, which includes customary closing adjustments for working capital and transaction expenses of the business at closing. Additionally, the Company received funds of $50.0 million in connection with the confidential arbitration settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Janssen”), one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson, related to the 2022 termination of the Company's manufacturing services agreement with Janssen (the “Janssen Agreement”). See Note 3, “Divestitures” for additional information related to RSDL® Transaction and Camden Transaction, and Note 19, “Litigation” for additional information related to the accounting treatment and settlement of the arbitration with Janssen. Additionally, the Company has realized positive operational impacts of its restructuring and cost savings initiatives, including the closure of certain Bioservices facilities and reductions in force.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $99.5 million and available borrowing capacity of up to $100.0 million under the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Company believes that its sources of liquidity, including debt and cash flows from operating activities, are adequate to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements.

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 definite lived intangible assets and other long-lived assets. Other estimates include allowances for expected credit losses, inventory, depreciation and amortization, contingent consideration, share-based compensation, warrants, 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 and restricted cash

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

Warrants

The Company accounts for Warrants as either equity instruments, liabilities or derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and/or ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging(“ASC 815”), depending on the specific terms of the applicable warrant agreement.

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, includes:

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), contingent purchase consideration (Level 3) and value of Warrants (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.

Significant customers and accounts receivable

Billed accounts receivable are stated at invoice amounts and consist of amounts due from the United States Government ("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.

Concentration Risk

Customers

The Company has long-term contracts with the USG that expire at various times from 2025 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 39%,38% and 43% of total revenues for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 Agreement and any derivative instruments that the Company may utilize from time to time. There is risk that the Company’s Revolving Credit Agreement investors and derivative counterparties will not be available to fund as obligated. If funding under the Revolving Credit Agreement 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 Agreement and any derivative instruments that the Company may utilize from time to time by contracting with experienced large financial institutions and monitoring the credit quality of its lenders. As of December 31, 2024, 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-party suppliers. For internally manufactured inventory, the Company determines normal capacity for each production facility and allocates fixed production-overhead costs on that basis. The Company records inventory acquired in business combinations utilizing the comparative sales method, which estimates the expected sales price reduced for all costs expected to be incurred to complete/dispose of the inventory with a profit on those costs. The Company analyzes its inventory each reporting period and records a reserve to reduce the cost basis to net realizable value for inventory that has become obsolete, expired, slow-moving or short-dated based on customer requirements. Reserves for excess and obsolete inventory are relieved when the related inventory is disposed of through scrap or sale.

Pre-launch inventory

Within the Company's Commercial Product 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.

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:

LandNot depreciated
Buildings31-39 years
Building improvements10-39 years
Furniture and equipment3-15 years
Software3-7 years
Leasehold improvementsLesser 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 include federal, state, local and international taxes. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets/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/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 not more likely than not 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/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 not more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. 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 credits that are available. Historically, the Company has recognized the portion of net operating losses and R&D tax credits acquired that will not be limited and are more likely than not to be realized.

Because tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations, significant judgment is required. As a result, the Company makes certain estimates and assumptions, in (1) calculating the Company's income tax expense, deferred tax assets/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 times 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"). Upon successful completion of each project, the asset is classified as a definite-lived intangible and the Company will decide as to the then-useful life of the intangible asset, generally determined by the period in which the substantial majority of the cash flows are expected to be generated and begin amortization.

Long-lived Assets

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

Contingent Consideration

The Company's acquisitions accounted for as asset acquisitions may 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 are included in right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities. The Company has elected to record expense as incurred for leases with minimum lease payments of 12 months or less.

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

Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

Revenue recognition

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

Multiple performance obligations

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

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 MCM 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, 2024.

Product sales

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

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

The Company's NARCAN® customer contracts, including OTC NARCAN® customer contracts, are fixed price contracts. For the majority of the Company's OTC NARCAN® contracts, the Company invoices and records revenue when the customers 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® 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 under our direct retailer contracts, specialty distributor fees, wholesaler fees, prompt payment discounts and government rebates. OTC NARCAN® 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 and administrative expenses" and Cost of commercial product sale", respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Revenues from OTC NARCAN® 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. For contracts with direct retailers, the Company considers several factors in the estimation process for the allowance for returns of OTC NARCAN® 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. As returned product cannot be resold, there is no corresponding asset for product returns.

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 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;

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 associated with technology transfer and scale up activities throughout the development stage, including internally and through third party contract manufacturers;

costs of Bioservices for clinical trial material; and

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

Comprehensive loss

Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other changes in equity that are excluded from net 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 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.

Earnings (loss) per common share

Basic earnings (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 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.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included as an element of "Selling, general and administrative" ("SG&A") expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Advertising costs were $23.0 million, $26.9 million and $8.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Accounting for share-based compensation

The Company hastwo 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, performance 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 stock options granted. Set forth below is a discussion of the Company's methodology for developing each of the assumptions used:

Expected dividend yield — the Company does not pay regular dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future.

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

Risk-free interest rate — the range of U.S. Treasury rates with a term that most closely resembles the expected life of the option as of the date on which the option is granted.

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

The Company uses a Monte Carlo valuation model for estimating performance stock options and liability classified awards granted that vest based on market conditions. The Monte Carlo model incorporates more complex variables than closed-form models such as the Black-Scholes valuation model used for stock option grants. The Monte Carlo valuation model simulates a distribution of stock prices to yield an expected distribution of stock prices over the performance period. The stock-paths are simulated using volatilities calculated with historical information using data from a look-back period that is equal to the term of the award. The model assumes a risk-free interest rate with a term equal to the expected term of the award. The simulations are repeated multiple times and the mean of the discounted values is calculated as the grant date fair value for the award. The final payout of the award as calculated by the model is then discounted back to the grant date using the risk-free interest rate.

New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

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 Company adopted ASU 2023-07 during the year ended December 31, 2024 with no material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires a public business entity 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 its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires a public business entity to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements on an annual and interim basis. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. A public entity should apply the amendments either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

  1. Divestitures

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. On July 18, 2024, Bavarian Nordic announced that the European Medicines Agency had validated the marketing authorization application for CHIKV VLP, which triggered a development milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $10.0 million. On August 13, 2024, Bavarian Nordic announced that the FDA has accepted and granted Priority Review for the Biologics License Application for CHIKV VLP, which triggered a milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $20.0 million. The Company received both development milestone payments during the year ended December 31, 2024. On February 14, 2025, Bavarian Nordic announced that the FDA approved CHIKV VLP under the Priority Review, which triggered a development milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $30.0 million. On February 28, 2025, Bavarian Nordic announced that the European Commission approved CHIKV VLP, which triggered a development milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $20.0 million. Both payments are expected to be received in the first half of 2025.

As a result of the divestiture, 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 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In connection with the divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Bavarian Nordic TSA”) with Bavarian Nordic to help support its ongoing operations. Under the Bavarian Nordic TSA, the Company provided certain transition services to Bavarian Nordic, including information technology, finance and enterprise resource planning, research and development, human resources, employee benefits and other limited services. Income from performing services under the Bavarian Nordic TSA was recorded within “Other, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. While the services under the Bavarian Nordic TSA were substantially completed in the third quarter of 2024, certain services continue to be provided as of December 31, 2024. The Bavarian Nordic TSA services income was $0.5 million and $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company determined that the disposal of the Company’s travel health business did not qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation since it does not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

On July 31, 2024, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Emergent BioSolutions Canada Inc., entered into the RSDL®Agreement with SERB pursuant to which, among other things, the Company sold its worldwide rights to RSDL® to SERB. The RSDL® Transaction also included the sale to SERB of all the outstanding capital stock of Emergent Protective Products USA Inc. (“EPPU”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which leases a manufacturing facility in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, as well as certain assets related to RSDL®, including intellectual property rights, contract rights, inventory and marketing authorizations. In addition, the employees of EPPU joined SERB in connection with the RSDL®Transaction.

Pursuant to the RSDL®Transaction, SERB assumed certain government contracts related to RSDL® decontamination lotion, including the Company’s existing contract to supply RSDL® to the U.S. Department of Defense, through a new contract award to the Canadian Commercial Corporation.

At the closing, SERB paid a cash purchase price of $75.0 million, exclusive of customary closing adjustments related to inventory. In addition, SERB will owe the Company a $5.0 million payment upon achievement of a milestone relating to sourcing of a certain component of RSDL® decontamination lotion. In connection with the RSDL®Transaction, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $60.8 million, net of transaction costs of $4.1 million, recorded within “Gain (loss) on sale of business” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company determined that the disposal of RSDL® 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 the Company’s operations and financial results.

The Company and SERB entered into a transition services agreement (the “SERB TSA”) to ensure the orderly transition of RSDL® decontamination lotion and the related assets to SERB, and a supply agreement (the “SERB Supply Agreement”) pursuant to which SERB has a suite reservation at the Company’s Winnipeg facility where the Company will perform Bioservices activities to manufacture and supply bulk lotion to SERB. The Company and SERB also entered into a reverse supply agreement (together with the SERB TSA and the SERB Supply Agreement, the “SERB Agreements”) pursuant to which SERB supplies to the Company finished RSDL® for the purposes of the Company’s performance of certain transitional distribution services under customer contracts that have not yet transferred to SERB. Under the SERB Agreements, the Company will retain a portion of net sales received upon delivery of RSDL® to the delayed transfer customers.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a multi-element arrangement and separated the discrete deliverables into different units of account. While there are multiple agreements, the Company determined that the agreements were agreed upon with a single commercial objective and accounted for all of the agreements on a combined basis. The discrete deliverables identified were the sale of the RSDL Transaction disposal group, the obligations under the supply agreement for the suite reservation at Winnipeg and the manufacture and supply of bulk lotion, and the transition services agreement and reverse supply agreement services. All of the deliverables within the agreements were priced at market and according to their relative standalone selling prices. Income from performing services under the SERB TSA is recorded within “Services” revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and was $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Sale of Baltimore-Camden Facility

On August 20, 2024, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the sale of its Drug Product facility in Baltimore-Camden to an affiliate of Bora. The Baltimore-Camden facility, which was part of the Company’s Bioservices segment, had clinical and commercial non-viral aseptic fill/finish services on four fill lines, including lyophilization, formulation development, and support services. Alongside the facility, approximately 350 Emergent employees joined Bora as part of the transaction. At closing, Bora paid a cash purchase price of approximately $35.0 million, which includes customary closing adjustments to date for working capital and transaction expenses of the business at closing.

As a result of the divestiture, the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $36.5 million, net of transaction costs of $3.8 million, during the year ended December 31, 2024 recorded within “Gain (loss) on sale of business” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determined that the disposal of the Camden Site 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 the Company’s operations and financial results.

In connection with the divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Bora TSA”) with Bora to help support its ongoing operations. Under the Bora TSA, the Company is providing certain transition services to Bora, including information technology, finance and enterprise resource planning, human resources, employee benefits and other limited services. Income from performing services under the Bora TSA is recorded within “Other, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and was $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

  1. Impairment and restructuring charges

2024 Impairment of long-lived assets

During the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to the decision to close the Company’s Baltimore-Bayview Drug Substance manufacturing facility and the Rockville, Maryland Drug Product facility, the Company determined there were sufficient indicators of impairment for the Bayview and Rockville asset groups within the Bioservices reporting unit. As a result, the Company performed recoverability tests on those asset groups and concluded that the Bayview and Rockville 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, each representing Level 3 non-recurring fair value measurements. Based on these analyses, the Company allocated and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $27.2 million during the second quarter of 2024.

2023 Impairment of long-lived assets

During the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2023, due to deterioration in performance and resulting downward revisions to the Company’s internal Bioservices forecast made during the second quarter, including future expected cash flows, the Company determined there were sufficient indicators of impairment on the Camden, Bayview and Rockville 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, each representing Level 3 non-recurring fair value measurements. Based on these analyses, the Company allocated and recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $306.7 million during the second quarter of 2023.

The table below presents the total impairment charge by asset class for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Year Ended December 31,

Decisions regarding the elimination of positions and the closure of manufacturing facilities were subject to local law and consultation requirements in certain countries, as well as the Company’s business needs. The cumulative amount of restructuring charge related to the May 2024 Plan since inception is $19.8 million. All activities related to the May 2024 Plan were substantially completed during the third quarter of 2024. 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 2024 Organizational Restructuring Plan

In August 2024, the Company initiated an organizational restructuring plan ("the August 2024 Plan") at the Company’s Lansing facility, which reduced the Company’s workforce by approximately 70 employees, as well as eliminated several open positions. The Company also implemented non-labor optimization efforts, such as reducing the Company’s external and vendor spend. The cumulative amount of restructuring charges related to the August 2024 Plan since inception is $3.3 million. All activities related to the August 2024 Plan were substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2024. 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.

The following table presents the total restructuring costs related to the January 2023 Plan, August 2023 Plan, May 2024 Plan and August 2024 Plan by reportable segment as well as amounts included within unallocated corporate SG&A expense and R&D expense:

  1. Intangible assets and goodwill

Intangible Assets

The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of products acquired via business combinations or asset acquisitions. The following table summarizes the Company’s finite-lived intangible assets:

Goodwill

The Company hadno remaining goodwill as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. During 2023 and in prior periods, the Company performed its goodwill impairment evaluation annually, during the fourth quarter, or sooner if triggering events were 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 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.

  1. Fair value measurements

The table below presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are regularly measured and carried at fair value and indicates the level within the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine fair value:

2024 Warrant liability

In connection with the Term Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the lenders warrants to purchase 1.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $9.8802 per share (the “Series I Warrants”) and warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares at an exercise price of $15.7185 per share (the “Series II Warrants” and, together with the Series I Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Warrants are currently exercisable and will expire on August 30, 2029. Because the Warrants could be cash settled based on events that are outside the control of the Company, it precludes the Warrants from applying the equity contract scope exception, and so are classified as a liability. As a result, the fair value of the Warrants will be remeasured each period with the gain or loss on the warrant liability included in “Other, net” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The fair value of the liability at issuance was $13.4 million and, as of December 31, 2024, was remeasured to $16.2 million as determined using the Black-Scholes method and is included within “Other Liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of the Warrants at each reporting period. Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model take into account the agreement terms as well as the quoted price of the Company’s common stock in an active market. The volatility is based on the average historical volatility of the common stock. The expected life is based on the remaining contractual term of the Warrants, and the risk free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity equivalent to the Warrants’ expected life.

The table below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the Company’s Level 3 warrant liability as of December 31, 2024:

Contingent consideration

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 liabilities associated with business combinations are measured at fair value. The 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 change in fair value for the contingent consideration liabilities related to the Company’s products is classified on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Cost of MCM Product sales.”

The following table is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the Company’s Level 3 contingent consideration liability measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

(1) On July 31, 2024, the Company sold the worldwide rights to RSDL® to SERB. In connection with the RSDL® Transaction, the Company conveyed the contingent consideration liability related to RSDL® to SERB. See Note 3, “Divestitures” for more information regarding the RSDL® Transaction.

As of December 31, 2024, there wasno liability related to contingent consideration. As of December 31, 2023, the current portion of the contingent consideration liability was $2.7 million and was included in “Other current liabilities" on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The non-current portion of the contingent consideration liability was$2.9 million and was included in“Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023.

Non-variable rate debt

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of the Company's 3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) was $369.1 million and $184.3 million, respectively. The fair value was determined through market sources, which are Level 2 inputs and directly observable. The carrying amounts of the Company’s other long-term variable interest rate debt arrangements approximate their fair values (see Note 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.

  1. 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, 2024 and 2023, there wasno remaining accumulated other comprehensive income associated with the terminated interest rate swaps.

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, 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 falls into Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

There were $35.0 million of unamortized debt issuance costs recorded in connection with the execution of the Term Loan Agreement within a contra account to directly offset the Term Loan balance.

Debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s Revolving Loans, as described in further detail below, were recorded as an asset within “Other long-term assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has $3.9 million in unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the Revolving Loans. If the Company draws on the capacity available under the Revolving Loans, the debt issuance costs would be reclassified to a contra account to directly offset the Revolving Loans balance.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reclassified the debt issuance costs associated with the Company’s revolver loan due 2025 under the Prior Credit Agreement to a contra account to directly offset the loan balance in "Debt, current portion" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company hadno debt issuance costs associated with the revolver loan due 2025. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $5.3 million of debt issuance costs associated with the revolver loan due 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into a bilateral agreement with a bank in the amount of $5.1 million that is fully collateralized by cash, which is classified within “Restricted cash” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024.

The Company recorded a gain on extinguishments of debt of $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, respectively in “Other, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the Prior Credit Agreement and other loan forgiveness.

3.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2028

On August 7, 2020, the Company completed its offering of $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Unsecured Notes. Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 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 all or a portion of the Senior Unsecured Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes plus a “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest as set forth in the related indenture. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the Company must offer to repurchase the Senior Unsecured Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount of such 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.

Term Loan Agreement

On August 30, 2024, the Company entered into the Term Loan Agreement which provides for a Term Loan of $250.0 million. The Term Loan was drawn in full on the date of entry into the Term Loan Agreement (the “Closing Date”). The Term Loan was issued with an original issue discount of 3.00%.

The Term Loan will accrue interest at the Company’s option at (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus 7.25% per annum, referred to as “Term Base Rate Loans” or (ii) Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) (subject to a floor of 2.00% until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and thereafter,3.00%) plus 8.25% per annum, referred to as “Term SOFR Loans”). A default interest rate of an additional 2.00% per annum would apply on all outstanding obligations that are not paid when due. If any defaulted obligations are Term SOFR Loans, then such loans would, at the end of the applicable interest period, automatically be converted to Term Base Rate Loans that would continue to be subject to the default interest rate.

The Term Loan will mature on the first to occur (such date, the “Term Loan Maturity Date”) of (i) August 30, 2029, (ii) the date of acceleration of the Term Loan upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default and (iii) solely to the extent the aggregate principal amount of Senior Unsecured Notes outstanding exceeds $25.0 million, May 15, 2028, which is three months prior to the August 15, 2028 maturity date of the Senior Unsecured Notes. The Term Loan Agreement contains certain customary default and cross-default provisions, representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including (a) restrictions on prepayments and repurchases of indebtedness, including the Senior Unsecured Notes, subject to further customary permitted debt payments (b) a minimum liquidity requirement of $75.0 million commencing on September 30, 2024 and tested every two weeks, and (c) a consolidated gross leverage ratio tested every fiscal quarter commencing with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025, initially at 5.10:1.00 with step-downs as set forth in the Term Loan Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Term Loan Agreement.

All indebtedness outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than certain subsidiaries that are not material, are excluded pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Agreement, or will become guarantors on a post-closing basis (the Company and the guarantors, collectively, the Credit Parties”). The indebtedness under the Term Loan Agreement is secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien on substantially all assets of the Company and the other Credit Parties.

The Company may elect to prepay the Term Loan, in whole or in part, subject to (i) through and including the first anniversary of the Closing Date, a make-whole premium plus 4.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan subject to prepayment and (ii) after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, a 4.00% prepayment premium, which percentage shall be reduced by 0.25% as set forth on a schedule attached to the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan Agreement requires mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan in an amount equal to (a)100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds from the incurrence of certain indebtedness by the Term Loan Credit Parties and (b) (subject to certain reinvestment rights)100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds from (1) subject to certain specified exceptions, dispositions of property by the Credit Parties (provided that with respect to any dispositions occurring on or after the Closing Date, prepayment will not be required unless the net cash proceeds exceed $10.0 million in the aggregate per fiscal year or $5.0 million on a per-transaction basis) and (2) insurance proceeds received by any Credit Party or their subsidiaries resulting from theft, loss, physical destruction or damage of property.

On the Closing Date, the Company used a portion of the proceeds of the Term Loan to repay all amounts outstanding and terminate commitments under the senior term loan facility under the Prior Credit Agreement, plus accrued interest and fees. The Company previously repaid all amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement.

Revolving Loan Agreement

On September 30, 2024, the Company entered into the Revolving Credit Agreement with certain subsidiary borrowers (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as agent (the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement provides for commitments with respect to Revolving Loans of up to the lesser of (x) $100.0 million, which may be increased (but not above $125.0 million, or the “Maximum Revolver Amount”) or decreased (but not below $50.0 million) by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and (y) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement). Once reduced, the facility may not be increased. Up to $5.0 million of capacity under the Revolving Loans may be used for swing loans and up to $10.0 million may be used for the issuance of letters of credit.

The Revolving Loans will accrue interest at the Base Rate (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.25% (such loans, “Revolving Base Rate Loans”) or, at the Company’s election, at a rate equal to Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement and subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus a margin of 2.25% (such loans, “Revolving SOFR Loans”), in each case until September 30, 2025. After September 30, 2025, the applicable margin may be reduced to 0.75% in the case of Revolving Base Rate Loans, or 1.75% in the case of Revolving SOFR Loans, provided the Borrowers’ total leverage ratio is less than 4.00 to 1.00 for the most recently completed fiscal quarter and an event of default is not continuing. A default interest rate of an additional 2.00% per annum would apply on all outstanding obligations that are not paid when due.

The Revolving Loans will mature on the first to occur of (i) September 30, 2029; (ii) to the extent there remain outstanding any portion of the term loans extended under the Term Loan Agreement, the date that is 90 days prior to the maturity date under the Term Loan Agreement; and (iii) to the extent any of the Senior Unsecured Notes remain outstanding, May 17, 2028, which is 90 days prior to the August 15, 2028 maturity date of the Senior Unsecured Notes. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains certain customary default and cross-default provisions (including with respect to defaults under the Term Loan Agreement), representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including (a) restrictions on prepayments and repurchases of indebtedness, including the Senior Unsecured Notes, (b) restrictions on dispositions of material intellectual property, (c) a minimum liquidity requirement of $50.0 million through the day prior to the first date following September 30, 2025 on which the Company’s total leverage ratio measured as of the preceding 12-month period is less than 5.25 to 1.00 (the “Covenant Conversion Date”) and (d) from the Covenant Conversion Date, a fixed charge coverage ratio requirement of at least 1.00 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

All indebtedness outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Borrowers’ material direct and indirect subsidiaries, subject to customary exclusions. The indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is secured by a first-priority security interest in and lien on the ABL Priority Collateral and a second-priority security interest and lien on the Term Loan Priority Collateral (in each case as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement).

The Borrowers may elect to prepay any Revolving Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. If at any time outstanding Revolving Loans and letters of credit exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Base, as adjusted for reserves established by the Agent, and (ii) the Maximum Revolver Amount, the Borrowers will be required to prepay outstanding obligations in the amount of such excess. The Agent may establish, increase or decrease reserves at its discretion.

Share-based compensation

The Company hastwo share-based employee compensation plans, the Emergent Plan and the Inducement Plan, which include stock options, performance stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units and liability classified long-term incentive awards.

As of December 31, 2024, an aggregate of 31.2 million shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the Emergent Plan, of which a total of approximately 6.7 million shares of common stock remain available for future awards to be made to plan participants. As of December 31, 2024, an aggregate of 5.0 million shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the Inducement Plan and 4.0 million shares remain available for future awards to be made under the Inducement Plan. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted an $8.0 million liability-classified long-term incentive award subject to performance based market conditions with the option to settle the award in any combination of cash or shares. The fair value of the liability-classified long-term incentive award was valued at grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model and will be revalued at each reporting period until the award is earned or expires. The long-term incentive award has a performance period offive years to vest based on the Company’s stock price performance.

Stock options and performance stock options

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of stock options granted. 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 ofseven years. Set forth below are the assumptions used in valuing the stock options granted:

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted performance stock options. These awards vest the later ofone year after the grant date or the achievement of the market based performance condition. The performance period isfive years after the grant date and the awards expire seven years after the grant date. The related stock-based compensation is recognized over the requisite service period, taking into account the probability that the market based performance condition will be achieved. The Company utilized the Monte Carlo valuation model for estimating the fair value of performance stock options granted.

As of December 31, 2024, there was $5.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and $0.5 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to performance stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over the weighted average periods of 2.0 years for stock options and 1.6 years for performance stock options.

Performance stock units and restricted stock units

The following is a summary of performance stock unit and restricted stock unit award activity under the Emergent Plan and the Inducement Plan:

Number of SharesWeighted-Average Grant Date Fair ValueAggregate Intrinsic Value
Stock awards outstanding at December 31, 20232.6$16.57$6.20
Stock awards granted0.2$6.46
Stock awards released(1.0)$20.62
Stock awards forfeited (1)(0.6)$14.45
Stock awards outstanding at December 31, 20241.2$12.01$11.60
(1) Performance stock units forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2024 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, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was $21.6 million, $31.8 million and $30.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there was $5.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock units. This cost is expected to be recognized straight-line over a weighted average period of 1.1 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 athree-year performance period. There wereno performance unit awards released during year ended December 31, 2024. The total fair value of performance unit awards released during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $2.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, there was $0.5 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 1.0 year.

Stockholders' equity

Preferred stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 15.0 million shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). Any Preferred Stock issued may have dividend rights, voting rights, conversion privileges, redemption characteristics, and sinking fund requirements as approved by the Company's board of directors.

Common stock

The Company currently has one class of common stock, $0.001 par value per share common stock (“Common Stock”), authorized and outstanding. The Company is authorized to issue up to 200.0 million shares of Common Stock. Holders of Common Stock are entitled toone vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters, except as may be provided by law.

2024 Issuance of Common Stock

In connection with the Term Loan Agreement, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2024 (the “Subscription Agreement”) with the lenders under the Term Loan Agreement, under which on September 17, 2024, the Company issued to the lenders 1.1 million shares of common stock with an aggregate value of $10.0 million, at a price per share of $8.98, which was based on the volume weighted average price per share of common stock for the 30 consecutive trading days ending on, but excluding, the tenth business day of the Term Loan Agreement. At inception, the Subscription Agreement represented a forward sale of the Company’s common stock (the “Forward”).

Since the number of shares issued under the Forward was determined based on a fixed monetary value established on August 30, 2024, which necessitated issuing a variable number of shares, the Forward was initially classified and recorded as a liability. As it was classified as a liability, the Forward had to be remeasured to its fair value upon settlement on September 17, 2024. Consequently, the Company recognized a gain of $1.6 million, which was recorded under “Other, net” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. This gain resulted from a drop in stock price between the execution date of the Subscription Agreement and the actual issuance date of the shares. As of December 31, 2024, there was no remaining liability related to the Forward on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2024 Warrant Issuance

In connection with the Term Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the lenders Series I Warrants to purchase 1.0 million shares of common stock and Series II Warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares of common stock. The Warrants are currently exercisable and will expire on August 30, 2029. Because the Warrants could be cash settled based on events that are outside the control of the Company, it precludes the Warrants from applying the equity contract scope exception, and so are classified as a liability. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Warrants was $16.2 million. See Note 8, “Fair value measurements,” for more information on the accounting treatment and valuation of the Warrants.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had the following Warrants outstanding to acquire shares of its common stock:

Warrants OutstandingRange of Exercise Price per ShareExpiration Date
Warrants issued related to the Term Loan Agreement2.5$9.88 - $15.72August 2029
Total2.5

During the year ended December 31, 2024, no Warrants expired or were exercised.

At-the-Market Equity Offering Facility

In May 2023, the Company established an “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, sell up to $150.0 million aggregate gross sales price of shares of its common stock through Evercore Group L.L.C. and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as sales agents. There wereno sales of the Company’s common stock under the ATM Program during the year ended December 31, 2024. Our Registration Statement on Form S-3 related to the ATM Program expired on August 9, 2024. The Company cannot sell any shares under the ATM Program until a new Registration Statement on Form S-3 is filed and becomes effective. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company sold 1.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock under the ATM Program for gross proceeds of $9.1 million, representing an average share price of $8.22 per share. As of December 31, 2024, $140.9 million aggregate gross sales price of shares of the Company’s common stock remains available for issuance under the ATM Program.

  1. Loss per common share

Basic loss per common share is calculated using the treasury method by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted 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, as well as shares issuable upon exercises of the Warrants. Diluted loss per share excludes anti-dilutive securities, which represent the number of potential common shares related to shares issuable under our equity compensation plan and pursuant to exercises of the Warrants that were excluded from diluted loss per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share:

Year Ended December 31,
2024 · 2023 · 2022
Numerator:
Net loss$(190.6)$(760.5)$(211.6)

Net loss per common share - basic$(3.60)$(14.85)$(4.22)
Net loss per common share - diluted$(3.60)$(14.85)$(4.22)

The following table presents the securities and equity awards that are not considered in the diluted loss per common share calculation generally because the exercise price of the awards was greater than the average per share closing price during the year ending December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 or the period resulted in a net loss, thus making the awards anti-dilutive. 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.

(1) Bioservices Services revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 include $50.0 million attributable to the Settlement Agreement with Janssen related to the 2022 termination of the Janssen Agreement. The revenue is related to raw materials purchased for the Janssen Agreement which Janssen had not reimbursed. See Note 19, “Litigation” for additional information related to the accounting treatment and settlement of the arbitration with Janssen.

For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company's product sales from NARCAN®, Other Commercial products, Anthrax MCM, Smallpox MCM and Other products as a percentage of total product sales were as follows:

Year Ended December 31,

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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, USG for 43% and the second customer for 10% of total revenues, both primarily attributable to the MCM Products segment. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company’s revenues from customers within the United States comprised 79%,58% and 79%, respectively, of total revenues.

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 2.1 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, 2024, the Company's non-USG lease revenues were $1.4 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 $2.2 million in 2025, $2.3 million in 2026, $0.9 million in 2027, $0.9 million in 2028, no lease revenue in 2029 andno lease revenue in 2030 and beyond.

Transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has future contract value on unsatisfied performance obligations of approximately $393.2 million associated with all arrangements entered into by the Company. The Company expects to recognize $348.2 million of unsatisfied performance obligations within the next 24 months. The amount and timing of revenue recognition for unsatisfied performance obligations can change. The future revenues associated with unsatisfied performance obligations exclude the value of unexercised option periods in the Company’s revenue arrangements. Often the timing of manufacturing activities changes based on customer needs and resource availability. Government funding appropriations can impact the timing of product deliveries. The success of the Company's development activities that receive development funding support from the USG under development contracts can also impact the timing of revenue recognition.

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $9.7 million and $21.9 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:

Contract Liabilities
Balance at December 31, 2023$29.9
Balance at December 31, 2024$9.3
Revenue recognized in the period from amounts included in contract liability at the beginning of the period:$26.2

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the current portion of contract liabilities was $4.8 million and $27.2 million, respectively, and was included in “Other current liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Accounts receivable and allowance for expected credit losses

Accounts receivable, including unbilled accounts receivable contract assets, consist of the following:

December 31,
20242023
Accounts receivable:
Billed$135.4$141.8
Unbilled19.651.4
Allowance for expected credit losses(0.5)(2.2)
Accounts receivable, net$154.5$191.0

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. 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. The Company's provisions for expected credit losses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $5.3 million, $2.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

  1. Leases

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

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
Operating lease cost:
Amortization of right-of-use assets$3.2$4.0$5.6
Interest on lease liabilities0.80.81.1
Total operating lease cost$4.0$4.8$6.7

Operating lease costs are reflected as components of “Cost of Commercial Product sales”, “Cost of MCM Product sales”, “Cost of Bioservices”, “R&D” expense and “SG&A” expense on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

  1. Income taxes

The Company uses the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets/liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets/liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets/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 not more likely than not 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, 2024, the Company reassessed the valuation allowance and considered negative evidence, including its significant losses in the current year and prior years, 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 $80.2 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 amounts of GILTI in its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company has re-evaluated its historical indefinite reinvestment assertion and determined it remains appropriate to record a deferred withholding tax liability for only the undistributed earnings of a certain subsidiary. 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 $1.2 million. All other international subsidiaries’ outside basis differences are indefinitely reinvested.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has approximately $517.6 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 $481.6 million which will carryforward indefinitely, although, limited to eighty percent of taxable income annually. The Company has U.S. federal R&D tax credit carryforwards of $17.6 million which will expire in 2027 through 2042.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had post-apportionment state NOLs totaling approximately $1.2 billion 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 $57.7 million in net operating losses from foreign jurisdictions as of December 31, 2024, which will carryforward indefinitely.

The Company’s valuation allowance increased by $80.2 million due to the Company’s generation of significant losses in 2024.

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, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was (33)%, (4)% and 3%, respectively.

The effective annual tax rate of (33)% in 2024 is significantly different than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of reduced U.S. losses, valuation allowance charge in the U.S., jurisdictional mix of income, GILTI, and other permanent differences.

The effective annual tax rate of (4)% in 2023 is significantly different 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 significantly different 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 total unrecognized tax benefits recorded at December 31, 2024 and 2023 of $1.7 million and $6.6 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, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
Gross unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of period$6.6$6.8$12.7
Increases (decreases) for tax positions for prior years—0.4(1.5)
Increases for tax positions for current year—0.10.7
Settlements(2.3)——
Lapse of statute of limitations(2.6)(0.7)(5.1)
Gross unrecognized tax benefits, end of period$1.7$6.6$6.8

The current year change includes the reversal of a $2.6 million liability due to a lapse of the statute of limitations during the year as well as partial cash payment of $2.3 million.

The Company includes interest and potential penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the total amount of interest and penalties accrued was $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The Company recognized interest and penalty expense (benefit) in 2024, 2023 and 2022 of $(0.8) million, $0.2 million and $(2.1) 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, 2024 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 2021 and onwards remain open to examination. The Company's tax returns for Canada remain open to examination for the tax years 2016 and onward. The Company's Irish tax returns remain open to examination for the tax years 2018 and onward.

As of December 31, 2024, 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. In addition, the Company’s 2021 Texas Franchise tax returns and 2022 Quebec Income tax returns are under audit.

  1. Defined benefit and 401(k) savings plan

Defined benefit pension plan

Prior to 2024, the Company 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, and the sale is described further in Note 3, “Divestitures”. 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 were required 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 recognizedno pension expense related to the Swiss Plan for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company recognized pension expense related to the Swiss Plan of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Components of net periodic pension cost incurred during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

Year Ended December 31,
2023 (1)2022
Service cost$0.7$1.9
Interest cost0.30.1
Expected return on plan assets(0.4)(0.8)
Amortization of loss—0.1
Amortization of prior service credit—(0.1)
Settlements—(0.4)
Net periodic benefit cost$0.6$0.8
(1) The Swiss Plan was sold as part of our travel health business to Bavarian Nordic, as described further in Note 3, “Divestitures”.

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, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company made matching contributions of approximately $5.7 million, $8.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively.

  1. 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, 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, 2024, the Company has approximately $632.4 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 $195.6 million will be purchased within the next year. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, the Company purchased $96.1 million, $107.8 million and $199.6 million, respectively, of materials and services under these commitments.

  1. Segment information

The Company manages its business with a focus onthree reportable segments. The Commercial Product segment, which includes NARCAN® products and other commercial products that were sold as part of the travel health business in the second quarter of 2023 (see Note 3, “Divestitures” for more information on the sale of the travel health business); the MCM Products segment, which includes the Anthrax - MCM products, Smallpox - MCM products and Other Products; and the Services segment, consisting of the Company’s Bioservices offerings.

The Company's CODM is its President, Chief Executive Officer and Director. The CODM evaluates the performance of the Company's reportable segments based on segment adjusted gross margin. The Company defines segment adjusted gross margin as sales less cost of sales excluding restructuring costs, changes in fair value of financial instruments, settlement charges, net and inventory step-up provision for each reportable segment. The Company does not allocate amortization of intangible assets, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative costs, interest and other income (expense) or taxes to each reportable segment in the operating results that are regularly reviewed by the CODM. The CODM uses these reported measures to assess segment performance, allocate resources and monitor budget and guidance versus actual results. These metrics are used by the CODM to make key operating decisions, such as decisions about allocating capital and other resources to each segment. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as those described in Note 2, "Summary of significant accounting policies". Intersegment revenue, cost of sales, and profit are eliminated in the segment measures regularly reviewed by the CODM as these activities are eliminated in consolidation and thus are not included in management’s evaluation of performance for each segment.

The Company manages its assets on a total company basis, not by segment, as the Company's assets are shared or commingled. Therefore, the Company’s CODM does not regularly review any asset information by segment and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segment. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as "Total assets".

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

The following table presents segment information provided to the CODM, along with a reconciliation of segment adjusted gross margin to loss before income taxes as reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operation for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022:

  1. 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 Exchange Act. 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").

SEC Enforcement Proceeding

As previously disclosed, in the second quarter of 2021, the Company received subpoenas from the SEC related to certain disclosures regarding the incidents described above under the heading “Securities Litigation.” The Company has been cooperating with the SEC’s investigation. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company determined that a loss resulting from the investigation was probable and that the amount of loss could be reasonably estimated. As a result, the Company recorded an accrual within "Selling, general and administrative" expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 of $1.5 million, and the related liability is included in "Other current liabilities" in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024.

2022 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, 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. 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 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. On June 14, 2022, Janssen filed a Demand for Arbitration and on July 29, 2022 the Company filed its Answering Statement and counterclaims. On July 3, 2024, the Company and Janssen entered into the Settlement Agreement to resolve all claims among the parties arising from the Janssen Agreement and the activities referenced above. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Janssen paid the Company $50.0 million on July 31, 2024.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, because the arbitration process with Janssen was 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” prior to announcing the Settlement Agreement was $158.7 million. The Company recorded $50.0 million in “Services revenue” and “Cost of Services” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2024 to reflect the settlement receivable as a change in the transaction price for the Janssen Agreement. Additionally, the Company recorded $110.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 within “Cost of Services” on the Consolidated Statement of Operations to write down the remaining inventory to its net realizable value and for estimated disposal costs. The receivable for the settlement amount was collected during the third quarter of 2024 and there wasno long-term asset balance remaining within “Other Assets” related to the Janssen Agreement as of December 31, 2024.

  1. Subsequent events

Development milestone payments for CHIKV VLP

On February 14, 2025, Bavarian Nordic announced that the FDA approved CHIKV VLP under the Priority Review, which triggered a development milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $30.0 million. On February 28, 2025, Bavarian Nordic announced that the European Commission approved CHIKV VLP, which triggered a development milestone payment receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the Company in the amount of $20.0 million. Both payments are expected to be received in the first half of 2025.
