Product Sales, net (4)
For Q4 2025, revenues from Naloxone products decreased $26.7 million, or 41%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales of OTC NARCAN® and lower Canadian sales of branded NARCAN®, driven primarily by increased competition due to generics impacting price and unit sales, partially offset by an increase in KLOXXADO® sales.
For Q4 2025, revenues from Anthrax MCM products increased $20.9 million, or 64%, as compared with Q4 2024. The increase primarily reflects the impact of timing on U.S. government (the "USG") and foreign sales of BioThrax® and ANTHRASIL® (AIG), partially offset by a decrease in CYFENDUS® product sales. Anthrax vaccine product sales are primarily made under annual purchase options exercised by the USG. Fluctuations in revenues result from the timing of the exercise of annual purchase options, the timing of USG purchases, the availability of governmental funding and the Company’s delivery of orders that follow.
For Q4 2025, revenues from Smallpox MCM products decreased $41.0 million, or 54%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of timing on USG sales of ACAM2000® and both USG and international sales of CNJ-016® (VIGIV), partially offset by an increase in USG sales of TEMBEXA®. Fluctuations in revenues result from the timing of the exercise of annual purchase options in existing procurement contracts, the timing of USG purchases, the availability of governmental funding and Company delivery of orders that follow.
For Q4 2025, revenues from Other Product sales increased $2.5 million, or 32%, as compared with Q4 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher international BAT® sales, partially offset by a decrease in USG sales orders due to timing.
For Q4 2025, revenues from Services decreased $1.2 million, or 16%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower production at the Company’s Winnipeg facility.
Contracts and Grants
For Q4 2025, revenues from contracts and grants decreased $0.5 million, or 9%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decline in overall funded research and development ("R&D") projects, partially offset by an increase in development work in connection with EbangaTM.

Cost of Product and Services Sales, Net
For Q4 2025, cost of product and services sales, net decreased $33.1 million, or 28%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was driven by decreases in cost of MCM Product sales of $23.1 million, cost of Commercial Product sales of $6.6 million and cost of Bioservices of $3.4 million.
For Q4 2025, R&D expenses increased $3.0 million, or 33%, as compared with Q4 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in Ebanga™ related development work.
Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A") Expenses
For Q4 2025, SG&A expenses decreased $9.7 million, or 16%, as compared with Q4 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower marketing, professional services and legal expenses, combined with a decrease in compensation and other employee related expenses as a result of the restructuring initiatives that took place from January of 2023 through September 2025.

REPORTABLE SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company manages the business with a focus on three operating segments: (1) a Commercial Products segment consisting of NARCAN® Nasal Spray and KLOXXADO® Nasal Spray; (2) a MCM Products segment consisting of Anthrax - MCM, Smallpox - MCM and Other products and (3) a services segment consisting of our Bioservices offerings (“Services”). Commercial Products and MCM Products are our two reportable segments. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s determined that its Services operating segment no longer met the quantitative thresholds of a reportable segment and did not meet the aggregation criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification 280, Segment Reporting, and as such is categorized within “All other revenues” along with “Contracts and Grants.” The Company evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on revenues and segment 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 revenue, R&D, SG&A, amortization of intangible assets, interest and other income (expense) or taxes to its evaluation of the performance of these segments.

Cost of MCM product sales decreased $23.1 million, or 32%, to $49.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower production costs for ACAM2000®, CYFENDUS® and CNJ-016® (VIGIV) due to sales volumes, combined with favorable manufacturing variances due to lower inventory reserves and shut-down costs, partially offset by an increase in costs related to higher sales volume of TEMBEXA®, ANTHRASIL® and BioThrax®.
MCM Products gross margin increased $5.5 million, or 15%, to $43.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. MCM Products gross margin percentage increased 12 percentage points to 44% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The increase was largely due to a favorable product price and volume mix weighted more heavily to higher margin products and the favorable manufacturing variance impacts described above.

Cost of MCM product sales decreased $56.3 million, or 26%, to $163.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to favorable manufacturing variances, mostly due to lower shut-down and severance costs and lower inventory reserves, as well as lower production costs reflecting reduced volumes on ACAM2000® and CYFENDUS®, and no RSDL® related costs in 2025 due to the sale of RSDL® to SERB in the third quarter of 2024. These decreases were partially offset by higher costs for ANTHRASIL® and TEMBEXA® due to higher unit volume.
MCM Products gross margin increased $3.2 million, or 1%, to $266.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. MCM Products gross margin percentage increased 6 percentage points to 58% for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in gross margin percentage was primarily due to a favorable product sales mix which was weighted more heavily to higher margin products and a decrease in shut-down and severance costs and inventory reserves compared with the prior year period. MCM Product segment adjusted gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2025, excludes the impacts of intangible asset amortization of $27.3 million, inventory step-up provision of $5.4 million, and restructuring benefits of $1.0 million.
