BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (“Emergent,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a global life sciences company focused on providing innovative preparedness and response solutions addressing accidental, deliberate, and naturally occurring Public Health Threats (“PHTs”). The Company’s solutions include a product portfolio, a product development portfolio, and a contract development and manufacturing services (“CDMO”) portfolio.
We have a portfolio of 11 products, 10 of which are owned by the Company, that contribute a substantial portion of our revenue and are sold to government and commercial customers. Additionally, we have a development pipeline consisting of a diversified mix of both pre-clinical and clinical stage product candidates. Finally, we have a fully integrated portfolio of CDMO services which cover development services, drug substance manufacturing and drug product manufacturing and packaging.
The Company structures the business with a focus on markets and customers. As such, the key components of the business structure include the following four product and service categories: Anthrax - Medical Countermeasures (“MCM”) products, Naloxone commercial products, Smallpox - MCM products and Emergent Bioservices (CDMO) (“Bioservices”).
The Company manages the business with a focus on three operating segments: (1) a Commercial Products segment consisting of NARCAN® Nasal Spray 4 mg and KLOXXADO® Nasal Spray 8 mg, (2) a MCM Products segment consisting of Anthrax - MCM, Smallpox - MCM and Other Products and (3) a Services segment consisting of our Bioservices offerings. Commercial Products and MCM Products are our two reportable segments (see Note 16, “Segment information” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1, of this Form 10-Q for more information on our reportable segments).
Commercial Products Segment:
The majority of our Commercial product revenue comes from the following products:

•KLOXXADO® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray 8 mg is a prescription medicine. In January 2025, the Company announced an agreement with Hikma Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Hikma”) in which the Company obtained exclusive commercial rights for product sales and marketing of Hikma’s KLOXXADO® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray, an 8 mg naloxone agent in the United States and Canada.
28
MCM Products Segment:
The majority of our MCM product revenue comes from the following products and procured product candidates:
Anthrax - MCM Products
•ANTHRASIL® (Anthrax Immune Globulin Intravenous (human)), the only polyclonal antibody therapeutic licensed by the FDA and Health Canada for the treatment of inhalational anthrax in combination with appropriate antibacterial drugs;
•BioThrax® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed), the only vaccine licensed by the for the general use prophylaxis and post-exposure prophylaxis of anthrax disease;
•CYFENDUS® (Anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA), adjuvanted), previously known as AV7909, which was recently approved by the FDA for post-exposure prophylaxis of disease following suspected or confirmed exposure to Bacillus anthracis in persons 18 through 65 years of age when administered in conjunction with recommended antibacterial drugs. CYFENDUS® is procured by certain authorized government buyers for their use; and
•Raxibacumab injection, the first fully human monoclonal antibody therapeutic licensed by the FDA for the treatment and prophylaxis of inhalational anthrax.
Smallpox - MCM Products
•ACAM2000® (Smallpox and Mpox (Vaccinia) Vaccine, Live), the only single-dose smallpox vaccine licensed by the FDA for active immunization against smallpox and mpox disease for persons determined to be at high risk for smallpox or mpox infection;

Services Segment:
As of the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s Services operating segment no longer met the quantitative threshold of a reportable segment and did not meet the aggregation criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, and as such is categorized within “All other revenues” along with “Contracts and Grants”. See Note 16, “Segment information” in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information about the Company’s reportable segments.

Other Strategic Activities
Share Repurchase Program
In March 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of the Company’s common stock (the “2025 Share Repurchase Program”) on or before March 27, 2026. In February 2026, the Company reauthorized the 2025 Share Repurchase Program for the repurchase of up to $50.0 million of the Company's common stock (the “Reauthorized Share Repurchase Program”) through March 31, 2027. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company utilized $9.1 million and $18.2 million, including commissions and excise taxes, to repurchase 1.1 million and 1.9 million shares, respectively. The average price paid, excluding commissions and excise taxes, was $8.38 and $9.21 per share, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $37.5 million available to repurchase shares under the Reauthorized Share Repurchase Program.
Senior Unsecured Note Repurchases
In August 2026, the Board authorized the Company to use up to $75.0 million to repurchase Senior Unsecured Notes in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. During the second half of 2025, the Company repurchased $10.3 million principal amount of its outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes under a debt repurchase program that was in effect from May 2025 to May 2026 under which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $30.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its Senior Unsecured Notes. The Company did not have any principal repurchases during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 under its prior debt repurchase program.
Term Loan Agreement and ABL Amendment
In April 2026, the Company entered into a new term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) by and among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, and OrbiMed Royalty & Credit Opportunities V, LP, as administrative agent. The Term Loan Agreement provides for a term loan of $150.0 million that matures in April 2031, subject to certain earlier maturity provisions. The agreement also provides for up to $75.0 million of additional delayed draw availability, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions. The Company used the net proceeds from the initial term loan, together with cash on hand, to repay and terminate its Term Loan Agreement with OHA Agency LLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Prior Term Loan Agreement”), including accrued interest and fees.
Also in April 2026, the Company amended its existing Revolving Credit Agreement (the “ABL Amendment”). The ABL Amendment, among other things, reduced the total revolving loan commitment to $50.0 million and extended the maturity date to April 2031, subject to customary conditions.
August 2026 Organizational Restructuring Plan
On August 5, 2026, the Company announced an organizational restructuring plan (the “Plan”) intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing commitment to profitable growth. The Plan includes a reduction of the Company’s current workforce by approximately 93 employees across all areas of the Company and the elimination of approximately 21 positions that are currently vacant, as well as the closure of wet laboratories in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Decisions regarding the elimination of positions are subject to local law and consultation requirements in certain countries, as well as the Company’s business needs. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $10.0 million to $11.5 million in charges in connection with the Plan, which it expects to incur in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2026. These charges consist primarily of charges related to employee transition, severance payments and employee benefits. The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the Plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the Plan. In combination with other rationalizing initiatives, these actions are expected to result in annualized savings of over $40.0 million when fully implemented.
