Q1 2022 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE (1)

Revenues

Product Sales, net
Anthrax vaccines
For Q1 2022, revenues from Anthrax vaccines increased $48.6 million as compared to Q1 2021. The increase is largely driven by timing of deliveries to the U.S. government (USG), specifically the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). The Company received an AV7909 (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed, Adjuvanted) contract modification in September 2021 valued at approximately $399 million to deliver additional AV7909 doses through March 2023.

Nasal naloxone products
For Q1 2022, revenues from nasal naloxone products increased $18.9 million as compared to Q1 2021. The increase is driven by strong growth in sales of NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray to U.S. public interest and Canadian customers, as well as solid contributions from sales of the authorized generic product licensed to Sandoz which launched in December 2021. These increases are offset by a decrease in sales of NARCAN Nasal Spray to the U.S. commercial retail market.

ACAM2000
For Q1 2022, revenues from ACAM2000® (Smallpox (Vaccinia) Vaccine, Live) increased $14.4 million as compared to Q1 2021. The increase is driven by international sales.

Other (4)
For Q1 2022, revenues from other product sales increased $17.3 million as compared to Q1 2021. The increase is largely a result of sales of VIGIV [Vaccinia Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)] driven by timing of deliveries to the USG and of sales of Anthrasil® (Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous (Human)) driven by timing of deliveries to international customers.

Contract Development and Manufacturing (CDMO)
CDMO Services
For Q1 2022, revenue from contract development and manufacturing services decreased $15.8 million as compared to Q1 2021. This decrease is largely due to the impact of the Company's decision to initiate maintenance and other modification-related work at the Bayview facility which reduced manufacturing activities during the quarter. The decline in revenues at Bayview was offset by an increase in manufacturing activities at the Company's Camden and Winnipeg sites in support of drug substance and drug product manufacturing services related to products and product candidates of the Company's commercial customers.

CDMO Leases
For Q1 2022, revenue from contract development and manufacturing leases decreased $107.2 million as compared to Q1 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the completion of the Company's public-private partnership with BARDA in November 2021.

Contracts and Grants
For Q1 2022, revenues from contracts and grants decreased $11.7 million as compared to Q1 2021. The decrease is primarily due to lower revenue from BARDA as a result of the termination of the Center for Innovation and Advanced Development and Manufacturing (CIADM) agreement in November 2021 as well as decreases in development activities associated with various other externally funded R&D projects.

Operating Expenses

Cost of Product Sales
For Q1 2022, cost of product sales increased $27.7 million as compared to Q1 2021. The increase is primarily due to the higher volume of product sales.

Cost of CDMO
For Q1 2022, cost of CDMO increased $28.9 million as compared to Q1 2021. The increase is driven by professional services in support of quality functions at the Bayview site and at the Camden and Winnipeg sites due to an increase in manufacturing activities in Q1 2022 compared to Q1 2021.

Research and Development
For Q1 2022, research and development expenses decreased $6.1 million as compared to Q1 2021. The decrease is primarily due to a decline in costs associated with the development of the Company's COVID-19 therapeutic product candidates offset by an increase in costs associated with the Phase 3 study of the Company's chikungunya virus (CHIKV) virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine candidate.

Selling, General and Administrative
For Q1 2022, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.9 million due to an increase in professional services and marketing costs in support of the expansion of the Company's business operations and defending and supporting the Company's corporate reputation.

Additional Financial Information

Segment Information
During Q1 2022, the Company began assessing its operating performance by focusing on two reportable segments: 1) a products segment (Product) consisting of the Government/Medical Countermeasure (MCM) and Commercial products business lines; and 2) a services segment (Services) consisting of the CDMO services business line. The Company evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on revenue and adjusted gross margin. 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 2022, Product margin increased $71.5 million as compared to Q1 2021. Product adjusted gross margin increased $70.9 million as compared to Q1 2021. The increase in Product gross margin and Product adjusted gross margin is primarily due to increased volumes.

For Q1 2022, Services gross margin and adjusted gross margin decreased $151.9 million as compared to Q1 2021. The decrease in Services gross and adjusted gross margin is primarily due to the decline in revenue at the Bayview facility as a result of the completion of the Company's arrangement with BARDA, the pause in manufacturing activities for improvement and modifications, as well as an increase in professional services costs.

CDMO Metrics

For Q1 2022, the Company is temporarily suspending disclosing CDMO Backlog as of March 31, 2022, pending further clarity on Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine requirements, influenced by the fact this metric includes value from the J&J contract. The Company will resume providing this metric at the appropriate time.

Capital Expenditures

For Q1 2022, capital expenditures decreased largely due to less spending associated with the expansion project at the Company's Rockville facility which is nearing completion.

2022 FINANCIAL FORECAST

The Company provides the following update to its full year 2022 forecast.

Reaffirmed Guidance

The following revenue guidance is reaffirmed for full year 2022 ($ in millions):

Temporarily Suspended Guidance

Following the recent decision by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) to suspend projecting COVID-19 vaccine sales for 2022 due to global supply surplus and vaccine hesitancy in the developing world, the Company's 2022 revenues related to its commercial supply arrangement with J&J are uncertain. Accordingly, the following metrics are temporarily suspended for full year 2022 pending further clarity on J&J COVID-19 vaccine requirements:

• CDMO Revenues
• Total Revenues
• Adjusted Net Income
• Adjusted EBITDA
• Gross Margin
  

At the appropriate time, the Company will communicate additional information and update the overall forecast.

Assumptions

The Company's 2022 financial forecast also takes into consideration the following assumptions.

2022 Product and Contract and Grant Revenues

• Anthrax vaccines revenues are expected to continue at similar levels to 2021 under the terms of the Company's existing contract with BARDA.
• ACAM2000 vaccine deliveries are expected to continue under the terms of the Company’s existing contract with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) at unit volume levels consistent with 2021 deliveries.
• Nasal naloxone products revenues reflect the formation of a generic market and comprise revenues from a combination of NARCAN Nasal Spray and the authorized generic of NARCAN Nasal Spray, a product licensed to Sandoz and launched in late 2021 and one in which the Company retains a financial interest.
• Other Products + Contracts and Grants revenues: 1) other products revenues reflect continued procurement of other products not highlighted on a standalone basis from various government customers under existing multi- year contracts; 2) contracts and grants revenues reflect continued funding of select development programs from various government and other non-dilutive sources.

Other

• Pipeline progress is expected across the R&D portfolio with the ongoing advancement of the CHIKV VLP Phase 3 clinical trial, the completion of the BLA filing for AV7909, and anticipated advancements of a number of early- stage programs.
• Capital expenditures, net of reimbursement, are expected to be approximately 10% of total revenues at the midpoint, reflecting ongoing investments in capacity and capability expansions related to the CDMO business and the Company's R&D programs, and aligned with the average over the previous five-year period.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES

This press release contains financial measures (Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization), Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Product Gross Margin, Adjusted CDMO Gross Margin, Adjusted Revenues and Net 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 Income to Adjusted Net Income," "Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA," "Reconciliation of Gross Margin and Adjusted Gross Margin" and "Reconciliation of Net 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.
