Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 10, 2026 (the "2025 Form 10-K"). In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties. SIGA’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. See the factors set forth under the heading “Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this Item 2, and in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the 2025 Form 10-K.
Overview
SIGA Technologies, Inc. (“SIGA” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company. The Company sells its lead product, the oral formulation of TPOXX® (“oral TPOXX®,” also known as "tecovirimat," "Tecovirimat-SIGA," or "TEPOXX (tecovirimat)" in certain international markets), to the U.S. Government and international governments (including government affiliated entities). In certain international markets, the Company may sell TPOXX® through a distributor. Additionally, the Company sells the intravenous formulation of TPOXX® ("IV TPOXX®") to the U.S. Government.
TPOXX® is an antiviral drug for the treatment of human smallpox disease caused by variola virus. On July 13, 2018, the United States Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved oral TPOXX® for the treatment of smallpox. The Company has been delivering oral TPOXX® to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile ("Strategic Stockpile") since 2013.
On May 18, 2022, the FDA approved IV TPOXX® for the treatment of smallpox.
In addition to being approved by the FDA, oral TPOXX® (tecovirimat) has received regulatory approval from the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"), Health Canada, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") of the United Kingdom, and the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency ("PMDA"). The EMA and MHRA have approved oral TPOXX® for the treatment of smallpox, cowpox, and vaccinia complications following vaccination against smallpox. PDMA has approved oral TPOXX® for the treatment of smallpox, monkeypox ("mpox"), cowpox, and vaccinia complications following vaccination against smallpox, and Health Canada has approved oral TPOXX® for the treatment of smallpox.
TPOXX® was authorized under “exceptional circumstances” by the EMA and the MHRA, under the brand name Tecovirimat-SIGA. These regulators granted marketing authorizations under “exceptional circumstances” because it was not possible to obtain complete efficacy and safety information about the product due to the rarity of smallpox and other orthopoxviruses and because ethical considerations prevented conducting the necessary clinical studies. The Tecovirimat-SIGA marketing authorizations under “exceptional circumstances” are subject to certain specific obligations to gather additional data post-approval to help confirm the product’s safety and efficacy. All “exceptional circumstances” marketing authorizations are subject to annual reassessments that consider whether data generated pursuant to the specific obligations continue to confirm its positive benefit-risk profile. These annual reassessments determine whether the product’s marketing authorization should be maintained, changed, suspended, or withdrawn based on its benefit-risk profile.
On July 24, 2025, the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use ("CHMP") closed its third annual reassessment for Tecovirimat-SIGA and initiated a referral procedure for the product following questions over its effectiveness in the treatment of mpox. These questions were raised following receipt of results from certain non-SIGA sponsored clinical trials evaluating tecovirimat as a potential mpox treatment including the PALM007 and STOMP clinical trials. In the referral procedure, CHMP reviewed all available data on the safety and efficacy of Tecovirimat-SIGA for all its authorized indications in order to make a recommendation to the European Commission whether the marketing authorization should be maintained, modified, suspended or withdrawn. On March 27, 2026, the CHMP issued its opinion following the conclusion of its review. CHMP confirmed the positive benefit-risk balance of Tecovirimat-SIGA as a treatment for smallpox, cowpox and vaccinia complications, and recommended, based on the results of the mpox clinical trials, that the product no longer be used for the treatment of mpox, and on May 29, 2026, the European Commission adopted the opinion of the CHMP. In April 2026, the MHRA requested SIGA align the Tecovirimat-SIGA label in the U.K. with the outcome of the referral procedure.
With respect to the regulatory approvals by the EMA, PMDA, MHRA and Health Canada, oral tecovirimat represents the same formulation approved by the FDA in July 2018 under the brand name TPOXX®.
In connection with a potential FDA label expansion of oral TPOXX® for an indication covering smallpox post-exposure prophylaxis (“PEP”), the Company has completed an immunogenicity trial and an expanded safety trial. The timing of a potential submission of a supplemental New Drug Application to the FDA (“Supplemental NDA”) for a smallpox PEP indication for oral TPOXX® will be based on the results of ongoing sample analyses from the immunogenicity trial; the Company is currently targeting a Supplemental NDA submission in the first half of 2027.
Macroeconomic Environment
Future macroeconomic volatility, including changes to and uncertainty regarding tariffs and trade policies, could cause cost increases resulting in an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results. The Company’s supply chain was designed to lessen the impact of macroeconomic volatility such as through development of a U.S. domestic supply chain including U.S. production of API and finished product, and minimal reliance on ex-U.S. components for API and oral TPOXX®.
With respect to IV TPOXX®, tariff activity or other trading restrictions involving the U.S. and Europe may materially increase raw material costs for IV TPOXX® and, in turn, may materially increase IV TPOXX® overall manufacturing costs.

Procurement Contracts with the U.S. Government
19C BARDA Contract
On September 10, 2018, the Company entered into a contract with the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA") pursuant to which SIGA agreed to deliver up to 1,488,000 courses of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile, and to manufacture and deliver to the Strategic Stockpile, or store as vendor-managed inventory, up to 212,000 courses of IV TPOXX®. In October 2023, the contract was modified so that a course of IV TPOXX® was redefined within the contract from being 14 vials to being 28 vials; as such, the 19C BARDA Contract currently specifies 106,000 courses of IV TPOXX® (for the same payment amount as originally specified). In addition to the delivery of TPOXX® courses, the contract includes funding from BARDA for a range of activities, including: advanced development of IV TPOXX®, post-marketing activities for oral and IV TPOXX®, development of a pediatric formulation, support for manufacturing activities, and procurement activities. On April 8, 2025, total payments contemplated under the contract with BARDA were increased by $14.3 million to add funding for activities supporting manufacturing. On June 3, 2025, total payments contemplated under the contract with BARDA were increased by $13.2 million in connection with the development of the pediatric formulation of TPOXX®. As of June 30, 2026, the contract with BARDA (as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the "19C BARDA Contract") contemplates up to approximately $630 million of payments, of which approximately $79.2 million of payments are included within the base period of performance, approximately $545.2 million of payments are related to exercised options and up to approximately $5.6 million of payments are currently specified as unexercised options. BARDA may choose in its sole discretion when, or whether, to exercise any of the unexercised options. The period of performance for options is up to ten years from the date of entry into the 19C BARDA Contract and such options could be exercised at any time during the contract term.
The base period of performance specifies potential payments of approximately $79.2 million for the following activities: payments of approximately $11.1 million for the delivery of approximately 35,700 courses of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile; payments of $8.0 million for the manufacture of 10,000 courses (as currently defined within the contract as being 28 vials) of final drug product of IV TPOXX® ("IV FDP"), of which $3.2 million of payments are related to the manufacture of bulk drug substance ("IV BDS") to be used in the manufacture of IV FDP; payments of approximately $59.5 million to fund reimbursed activities; and payments of approximately $0.6 million for supportive procurement activities. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had received $11.1 million for the delivery of approximately 35,700 courses of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile, $3.2 million for the manufacture of IV BDS, $4.8 million for the delivery of IV FDP to the Strategic Stockpile and $37.4 million for other base period activities. IV BDS has been used for the manufacture of courses of IV FDP.
The options that have been exercised as of June 30, 2026, provide for payments up to approximately $545.2 million. As of June 30, 2026, there are exercised options for the following activities: payments up to $450.2 million for the manufacture and delivery of up to 1.5 million courses of oral TPOXX®; payments up to $76.8 million for the manufacture of courses of IV FDP; payments of up to approximately $3.6 million to fund post-marketing activities for IV TPOXX®; and payments of up to $14.6 million for funding of post-marketing activities for oral TPOXX®. As of June 30, 2026, a cumulative total of $450.2 million of oral TPOXX® has been delivered to the Strategic Stockpile and accepted; a cumulative total of $76.8 million of IV FDP has been delivered to the Strategic Stockpile and accepted (IV BDS that had been set aside and recorded as deferred revenue was recognized as revenue when the IV FDP, containing IV BDS, was delivered); and the Company has been cumulatively reimbursed $13.0 million in connection with post-marketing activities for oral and IV TPOXX®.
Unexercised options specify potential payments up to approximately $5.6 million in total (if all such options are exercised), all of which relates to supportive activities that we currently do not expect to be required.
The options related to IV TPOXX® were divided into two primary manufacturing steps. There were options related to the manufacture of bulk drug substance (“IV BDS Options”), and there were corresponding options (for the same number of IV courses) for the manufacture of final drug product (“IV FDP Options”). BARDA had the sole discretion to choose to exercise any, all, or none of these options. The 19C BARDA Contract included: three separate IV BDS Options, each providing for the bulk drug substance equivalent of 32,000 courses (as currently defined within the contract) of IV TPOXX®; and three separate IV FDP Options, each providing for 32,000 courses of final drug product of IV TPOXX®. BARDA had the sole discretion as to whether to simultaneously exercise IV BDS Options and IV FDP Options, or whether to exercise options at different points in time (or alternatively, to only exercise the IV BDS Option but not the I

Overview
SIGA Technologies, Inc. (“SIGA” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company. The Company sells its lead product, TPOXX® (“oral TPOXX®,” also known as "tecovirimat," "Tecovirimat SIGA," or "TEPOXX (tecovirimat)" in certain international markets), to the U.S. Government and international governments (including government affiliated entities). In certain international markets, the Company may sell TPOXX® through a distributor. Additionally, the Company sells the intravenous formulation of TPOXX® ("IV TPOXX®") to the U.S. Government.
TPOXX® is an antiviral drug for the treatment of human smallpox disease caused by variola virus. On July 13, 2018, the United States Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved oral TPOXX® for the treatment of smallpox. The Company has been delivering oral TPOXX® to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile ("Strategic Stockpile") since 2013.
On May 18, 2022 the FDA approved IV TPOXX® for the treatment of smallpox.
In addition to being approved by the FDA, oral TPOXX® (tecovirimat) has received regulatory approval from the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"), Health Canada, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") of the United Kingdom, and the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency ("PMDA"). The EMA, MHRA and PMDA approved oral TPOXX® for the treatment of smallpox, monkeypox ("mpox"), cowpox, and vaccinia complications following vaccination against smallpox. Health Canada approved TPOXX® for the treatment of smallpox.
TPOXX® was authorized under “exceptional circumstances” by the EMA and the MHRA, under the brand name Tecovirimat-SIGA. These regulators granted marketing authorizations under “exceptional circumstances” because it was not possible to obtain complete efficacy and safety information about the product due to the rarity of smallpox and other orthopoxviruses and because ethical considerations prevented conducting the necessary clinical studies. The Tecovirimat-SIGA marketing authorizations under “exceptional circumstances” are subject to certain specific obligations to gather additional data post-approval to help confirm the product’s safety and efficacy. All “exceptional circumstances” marketing authorizations are subject to annual reassessments that consider whether data generated pursuant to the specific obligations continue to confirm its positive benefit-risk profile. These annual reassessments determine whether the product’s marketing authorization should be maintained, changed, suspended, or withdrawn based on its benefit-risk profile.
On July 24, 2025, the EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) closed its third annual reassessment for Tecovirimat-SIGA and initiated a referral procedure for the product following questions over its effectiveness in the treatment of mpox. These questions were raised following receipt of results from certain non-SIGA sponsored clinical trials evaluating tecovirimat as a potential mpox treatment including the PALM007 and STOMP clinical trials. In the referral procedure, CHMP reviewed all available data on the safety and efficacy of Tecovirimat-SIGA for all its authorized indications in order to make a recommendation to the European Commission whether the marketing authorization should be maintained, modified, suspended or withdrawn. The CHMP is expected to meet in March to issue its recommendation. We expect the CHMP will confirm the positive benefit-risk balance of Tecovirimat-SIGA as a treatment for smallpox, cowpox, and vaccinia complications, and maintain those indications in the product label. Regarding mpox, based on the results of the mpox clinical trials, we expect the CHMP will recommend withdrawal of the mpox indication. In the UK, Tecovirimat-SIGA is undergoing an annual reassessment by the MHRA. This reassessment, which is ongoing, is substantially similar to the EMA’s annual reassessment process and could result in a similar outcome.
With respect to the regulatory approvals by the EMA, PMDA, MHRA and Health Canada, oral tecovirimat represents the same formulation approved by the FDA in July 2018 under the brand name TPOXX®.
In connection with a potential FDA label expansion of oral TPOXX® for an indication covering smallpox post-exposure prophylaxis (“PEP”), the Company has completed an immunogenicity trial and an expanded safety trial. The timing of a potential submission of a supplemental New Drug Application to the FDA (“Supplemental NDA”) for a smallpox PEP indication for oral TPOXX® will be based on the results of ongoing sample analyses from the immunogenicity trial; the Company is currently targeting a Supplemental NDA submission within the next twelve months.
Macroeconomic Environment
Future macroeconomic volatility, including changes to and uncertainty regarding tariffs and trade policies, could cause cost increases resulting in an adverse effect on the Company’s operating results. The Company’s supply chain was designed to lessen the impact of macroeconomic volatility such as through development of a U.S. domestic supply chain including U.S. production of API and finished product, and minimal reliance on ex-U.S. components for API and oral TPOXX®.
With respect to IV TPOXX®, tariff activity or other trading restrictions involving the U.S. and Europe may materially increase raw material costs for IV TPOXX® and, in turn, may materially increase IV TPOXX® overall manufacturing costs.

Procurement Contracts with the U.S. Government
19C BARDA Contract
On September 10, 2018, the Company entered into a contract with the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA") pursuant to which SIGA agreed to deliver up to 1,488,000 courses of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile, and to manufacture and deliver to the Strategic Stockpile, or store as vendor-managed inventory, up to 212,000 courses of IV TPOXX®. In October 2023, the contract was modified so that a course of IV TPOXX® was redefined within the contract from being 14 vials to being 28 vials; as such, the 19C BARDA Contract currently specifies 106,000 courses of IV TPOXX® (for the same payment amount as originally specified). In addition to the delivery of TPOXX® courses, the contract includes funding from BARDA for a range of activities, including: advanced development of IV TPOXX®, post-marketing activities for oral and IV TPOXX®, development of a pediatric formulation, support for manufacturing activities, and procurement activities. On April 8, 2025, total payments contemplated under the contract with BARDA were increased by $14.3 million to add funding for activities supporting manufacturing. On June 3, 2025, total payments contemplated under the contract with BARDA were increased by $13.2 million in connection with the development of the pediatric formulation of TPOXX®. As of December 31, 2025, the contract with BARDA (as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the "19C BARDA Contract") contemplates up to approximately $630 million of payments, of which approximately $79.2 million of payments are included within the base period of performance, approximately $545.2 million of payments are related to exercised options and up to approximately $5.6 million of payments are currently specified as unexercised options. BARDA may choose in its sole discretion when, or whether, to exercise any of the unexercised options. The period of performance for options is up to ten years from the date of entry into the 19C BARDA Contract and such options could be exercised at any time during the contract term.
The base period of performance specifies potential payments of approximately $79.2 million for the following activities: payments of approximately $11.1 million for the delivery of approximately 35,700 courses of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile; payments of $8.0 million for the manufacture of 10,000 courses (as currently defined within the contract as being 28 vials) of final drug product of IV TPOXX® ("IV FDP"), of which $3.2 million of payments are related to the manufacture of bulk drug substance ("IV BDS") to be used in the manufacture of IV FDP; payments of approximately $59.5 million to fund reimbursed activities; and payments of approximately $0.6 million for supportive procurement activities. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had received $11.1 million for the delivery of approximately 35,700 courses of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile, $3.2 million for the manufacture of IV BDS, $4.8 million for the delivery of IV FDP to the Strategic Stockpile and $31.2 million for other base period activities. IV BDS has been used for the manufacture of courses of IV FDP. The $3.2 million received for the completed manufacture of IV BDS had been recorded as deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021, but with the delivery of IV FDP to the Strategic Stockpile during 2022, $2.9 million was recognized as revenue. The remaining $0.3 million of deferred revenue was recognized in the second quarter of 2024 as the IV FDP containing such IV BDS was delivered to and accepted by the Strategic Stockpile.
The options that have been exercised as of December 31, 2025, provide for payments up to approximately $545.2 million. As of December 31, 2025, there are exercised options for the following activities: payments up to $450.2 million for the manufacture and delivery of up to 1.5 million courses of oral TPOXX®; payments up to $76.8 million for the manufacture of courses of IV FDP; payments of up to approximately $3.6 million to fund post-marketing activities for IV TPOXX®; and payments of up to $14.6 million for funding of post-marketing activities for oral TPOXX®. As of December 31, 2025, a cumulative total of $450.2 million of oral TPOXX® has been delivered to the Strategic Stockpile and accepted; a cumulative total of $61.4 million of IV BDS or IV FDP has been either set aside in inventory or delivered to the Strategic Stockpile and accepted (IV BDS that has been set aside has been recorded as deferred revenue and will be recognized as revenue when the IV BDS is manufactured as IV FDP and delivered); and the Company has been cumulatively reimbursed $10.9 million in connection with post-marketing activities for oral and IV TPOXX®.
Unexercised options specify potential payments up to approximately $5.6 million in total (if all such options are exercised), all of which relates to supportive activities that we currently do not expect to be required.

The options related to IV TPOXX® were divided into two primary manufacturing steps. There were options related to the manufacture of bulk drug substance (“IV BDS Options”), and there were corresponding options (for the same number of IV courses) for the manufacture of final drug product (“IV FDP Options”). BARDA had the sole discretion to choose to exercise any, all, or none of these options. The 19C BARDA Contract included: three separate IV BDS Options, each providing for the bulk drug substance equivalent of 32,000 courses (as currently defined within the contract) of IV TPOXX®; and three separate IV FD
