GAITHERSBURG, Md., May 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023. Among the highlights, Emergent has received from the U.S. government Notices of Intent to Purchase medical countermeasures to combat smallpox and botulism.

"Since the beginning of the year, we have taken strategic actions to stabilize and strengthen our core businesses to create sustainable, long-term value for all our stakeholders," said Robert G. Kramer, president and CEO of Emergent BioSolutions. “The impending sale of our travel health business, notices of intent from the U.S. government to procure medical countermeasures, productive conversations with our lenders, and the anticipated launch of over-the-counter Narcan® Nasal Spray later this summer all help build momentum for the rest of 2023 and beyond.”

Q1 2023 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ⁽¹⁾

Revenues

Beginning in 2023, the Company is revising the categories used in discussing product/service level revenues. The new categories are:

• Anthrax MCM — comprises potential contributions from AV7909, BioThrax, Anthrasil and raxibacumab
• NARCAN — comprises contributions from NARCAN Nasal Spray
• Smallpox MCM — comprises potential contributions from ACAM2000, VIGIV and Tembexa
• Other Products — includes potential contributions from BAT, RSDL, Trobigard, Vaxchora and Vivotif
• CDMO — comprises service and lease revenues from the contract development and manufacturing business

Product Sales, net

Anthrax MCM

For Q1 2023, revenues from Anthrax MCM decreased $87.5 million as compared with Q1 2022. The decrease was primarily due to timing of sales related to AV7909 (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, Adjuvanted) and BioThrax® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed) during Q1 2022, partially offset by an increase in Anthrasil® [Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous (human)] sales.

NARCAN

For Q1 2023, revenues from NARCAN increased $7.3 million as compared with Q1 2022. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in branded NARCAN sales as well as an increase in Canadian public sales, partially offset by a reduction in commercial retail sales in the U.S.

Smallpox MCM

For Q1 2023, revenues from Smallpox MCM decreased $16.1 million as compared with Q1 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of ACAM2000 international sales during Q1 2022.

Other Products

For Q1 2023, revenues from other product sales increased $2.6 million as compared with Q1 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher Vivotif® (Typhoid Vaccine Live Oral Ty21a) and Vaxchora® (Cholera Vaccine, Live, Oral) product sales, partially offset by decreases in RSDL® (Reactive Skin Decontamination Lotion Kit) and BAT product sales.

CDMO

CDMO Services

For Q1 2023, revenues from contract development and manufacturing services decreased $38.4 million as compared with Q1 2022. The decrease was primarily due to $19.2 million less of revenue related to reduced production activities at the Company's Bayview facility as a result of a halt in manufacturing under the Janssen contract in 2022. Additionally, the decrease also reflects reduced production at the Company's Camden facility. The decreases were slightly offset by an increase in production at the Company's Canton facility.

CDMO Leases

For Q1 2023, revenues from contract development and manufacturing leases decreased $7.2 million as compared with Q1 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction of lease revenues related to the Janssen contract termination.

Contracts and Grants

For Q1 2023, revenues from contracts and grants decreased $3.1 million as compared with Q1 2022. The decrease was primarily due to the conclusion of COVID-19 related studies in Q4 2022.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Product Sales

For Q1 2023, cost of product sales increased $22.6 million as compared with Q1 2022. The increase was primarily due to lower overhead absorption coupled with higher allocations of product COGS at the Bayview facility, partially offset by lower period costs at our Bern facility and lower NARCAN royalty fees.

Cost of CDMO

For Q1 2023, cost of CDMO decreased $23.4 million as compared with Q1 2022. The decrease was primarily due to reduced production activities across the CDMO network of manufacturing sites in Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2022 resulting in decreased raw materials consumption, partially offset by increased costs at our Camden facility for additional investments in quality enhancement and improvement initiatives and increased costs associated with production activities at the Company's Canton Facility.

Research and Development ⁽²⁾

For Q1 2023, R&D expenses decreased $5.8 million as compared with Q1 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in R&D spend related to the next phase of the development program for the chikungunya vaccine candidate CHIKV VLP; this development program will be included in the sale of the Travel Health business to Bavarian Nordic, first announced in February 2023. Net of contracts and grants revenue, which consists primarily of reimbursements against development investments, adjusted research and development expenses were $34.1 million for Q1 2023.

Selling, General and Administrative

For Q1 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $15.7 million as compared with Q1 2022. The increase was primarily due to higher professional services fees and severance costs related to our 2023 Restructuring Plan discussed further below.

Restructuring Expense

During Q1 2023, the Company incurred restructuring expense in connection with an organizational restructuring plan (the “2023 Plan”) announced on January 9, 2023. The Company incurred approximately $9.7 million in charges in connection with the 2023 Plan during Q1 2023. These charges consist primarily of charges related to employee transition, severance payments and employee benefits. All activities related to the 2023 Plan were substantially completed during the first quarter of 2023.

Capital Expenditures

For Q1 2023, gross capital expenditures decreased largely due to lower product development activities, including our chikungunya facility redesign project.

Segment Information

The Company manages the business with a focus on two reportable segments. Our Products segment, which includes the Anthrax MCM products, NARCAN products, Smallpox MCM products and Other products, and our Services segment consisting of our CDMO services. The Company evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on revenue and Adjusted Gross Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Segment revenue includes external customer sales, but does not include inter-segment services. The Company does not allocate contracts and grants, R&D, SG&A, amortization of intangible assets, interest and other income (expense) or taxes to its evaluation of the performance of these segments.

For Q1 2023, Product gross margin and Product adjusted gross margin decreased $116.3 million and $113.3 million, respectively, as compared with Q1 2022. The decrease in Product gross margin and Product adjusted gross margin was primarily due to decreased sales volumes and increases in costs related to lower overhead absorption combined with a less favorable sales mix weighted more heavily towards lower margin products.

For Q1 2023, Services gross margin and Services adjusted gross margin decreased $22.2 million and $22.2 million, respectively, as compared with Q1 2022. The decreases are primarily due to reduced production activities across our CDMO network including the halt in manufacturing under the Janssen contract and the decrease in margins at the Company's Camden facility due to additional investments in quality enhancement and improvement initiatives.

2023 FINANCIAL FORECAST

The Company provides the following updated financial forecast for the full year 2023 and Q2 2023, in both instances reflecting management's expectations based on the most current information available, and taking into account the actual performance in Q1 2023.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

This press release contains financial measures (Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Shares, Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Gross Margin %, Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted Cost of Sales and Adjusted Research and Development Expenses) that are considered “non-GAAP” financial measures under applicable Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s definition of these non-GAAP measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. For its non-GAAP measures, the Company adjusts for specified items that can be highly variable or difficult to predict, or reflect the non-cash impact of charges or accounting changes. As needed, such adjustments are tax effected utilizing the federal statutory tax rate for the U.S., except for changes in the fair value of contingent consideration as the vast majority is non-deductible for tax purposes. The Company views these non-GAAP financial measures as a means to facilitate management’s financial and operational decision-making, including evaluation of the Company’s historical operating results and comparison to competitors’ operating results. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with GAAP results and the reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure, may provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliation of Net Loss and Net Loss per Diluted Share to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share," "Reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA," "Reconciliation of Total Revenues to Adjusted Revenues, Cost of Sales to Adjusted Cost of Sales, and Gross Margin and Gross Margin % to Adjusted Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin %," and "Reconciliation of Research and Development Expenses to Adjusted Research and Development Expenses" included at the end of this release.

The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are a matter of management judgment and depend upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts. Because non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effect of items that will increase or decrease the Company’s reported results of operations, management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety.

The foregoing sets forth many, but not all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations in any forward-looking statement. When evaluating our forward-looking statements, you should consider this cautionary statement along with the risks identified in our reports filed with the SEC. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of any such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
