Richard S. Lindahl
Thanks, Joe. Good afternoon, everyone. We appreciate you joining the call. Emergent's second quarter results reflect continued strong execution and progress on our multiyear transformation plan. Our second quarter revenue came in at $141 million, exceeding the top end of our guidance range by $21 million. The second quarter performance was driven by both pillars of our core business, medical countermeasures and NARCAN. We have meaningfully strengthened our cash position and materially reduced our net leverage to 1.9x from 9.9x a year ago. Adjusted net income for the second quarter was $9 million, representing a substantial improvement compared to the $122 million loss in the same period in 2024. Additionally, we saw significant year-over-year improvements in both adjusted gross margin and adjusted EBITDA margin, driven by strategic divestitures, cost reduction actions and the continued execution of government contracts over the past year. These results underscore the progress we are making in reshaping the business towards sustained profitability. Both our medical countermeasure and opioid overdose reversal products continue to deliver solid performance with consistent demand, supported by strong bipartisan backing. Our leadership in MCM remains a strategic priority with both U.S. government and international partners relying on our proven capabilities to enhance health security and emergency preparedness. With that, let's move to the second quarter financials. As highlighted on Slide 9, our key financial metrics are total revenues of $141 million, which came in above our initial guidance range of $95 million to $120 million. Note that second quarter 2024 had revenues from several streams that are not recurring in 2025. These include our divested RSDL product, revenue from our divested Camden CDMO facility and the onetime Janssen $50 million settlement revenue. All of these were partially offset by higher smallpox sales in Q2 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was $29 million, an increase of $39 million versus negative $10 million the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin of 20%, an increase of 2,400 basis points versus the prior year. Adjusted gross margin of 49% improved 2,300 basis points year-over-year, driven by favorable product mix, expanded international sales of MCM products and a leaner manufacturing cost structure stemming from our previously announced restructuring initiatives and divestitures. And finally, operating expenses were down $63 million or 53% versus the prior year across R&D and SG&A. Transitioning to Slide 10, our second quarter revenue highlights were total product sales of $126 million, down year-over-year as higher smallpox revenue was offset by lower NARCAN and anthrax sales. All other revenue comprised of services, as well as contracts and grants revenue was $15 million. In the second quarter of '24, revenues for this segment included $50 million from the Janssen settlement, as well as sales from our Camden CDMO facility. Total sales were $141 million and again, $21 million above the high end of our guidance range. This was driven primarily by smallpox revenue timing and also a stronger-than-expected rebound in NARCAN public interest sales. Turning to NARCAN. Sales saw a roughly 50% increase in revenue in the second quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2025, following the onetime disruption of a distributor selling short-dated generic naloxone at discounted pricing. With that event now behind us and improved clarity around federal funding, state-level purchasing has stabilized, supporting consistent demand across both the public interest and retail channels. To further highlight the improved performance of NARCAN in the second quarter of '25, if you exclude the sales to California in second quarter of '24, U.S. public interest volume was flat year-over-year, highlighting our market-leading position in this channel. In addition, we improved access and operational efficiency by integrating KLOXXADO into our NARCANDirect platform, streamlining procurement of both NARCAN and KLOXXADO for first responders and public health partners. We believe that this will further reinforce our leadership position. Turning to Slide 11, I'll walk through our performance for the first half of 2025. Total revenue was $363 million. The decrease versus the first half of '24 primarily reflects divestitures, onetime services revenue, as well as some strategic pricing actions taken on NARCAN to maintain competitiveness within institutional and government channels amid evolving dynamics. Adjusted EBITDA was $106 million or 29% of total revenue, an improvement of approximately $49 million and 1,900 basis points year-over-year. This illustrates our strong operating leverage and cost reductions taken last year. Adjusted gross margin of 54% improved 1,500 basis points compared to the prior year. This expansion was driven by a more favorable product mix and continued operational efficiencies stemming from the 2024 restructuring initiatives. Operating expenses totaled $124 million, a $95 million reduction from the prior year. This meaningful decrease reflects the successful execution of our 2024 cost optimization strategy, which has materially streamlined our expenses and improved our financial flexibility. Moving to Slide 12. The first half of 2025 total product sales were $328 million. Breaking that down by key product: NARCAN revenue totaled $113 million; anthrax medical countermeasure revenue was $60 million, influenced by timing of government procurement orders; smallpox revenue grew to $147 million, material year-over-year improvement, reflecting deliveries under our multiyear contracts and a significant increase in international demand; and finally, all other revenues were $35 million, reflecting our contracting grant revenue from the U.S. government-funded Ebanga development program. 2024 revenue also included the onetime $50 million in Janssen settlement and Camden CDMO business revenues. Turning to Slide 13. I'm pleased to report continued progress in strengthening our financial position. As of the second quarter of 2025, total liquidity reached $367 million, comprised of $267 million of cash and $100 million of undrawn revolver capacity. Both liquidity and cash was significantly improved year-over-year. Our net debt in the second quarter of '25 was $433 million, a $361 million reduction or 45% year-over-year. Operating cash flow also improved $110 million, driven by strong improvements in our net working capital. And coupled with our improved profitability, we reduced our net leverage significantly year-over-year, ending at 1.9x adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of '25. With an enhanced cash position and increased financial flexibility, we believe we are well positioned to evaluate strategic growth initiatives while continuing to drive long-term value for shareholders. Please turn to Slide 14, and I'll touch on our key capital allocation priorities in support of our multiyear transformation plan. We're primarily focused on 3 key areas: growth; debt repayment; and share repurchases. First, we're investing in both organic and inorganic opportunities to strengthen our core businesses and drive future revenue expansion. We're focused on increasing international revenue from our medical countermeasures segment. We're also expanding our commercial reach through KLOXXADO Nasal Spray, which was recently integrated into our sales platform, NARCANDirect. We also made an investment into Rocketvax and are evaluating investments into key internal R&D programs. Going forward, we plan to continue to assess business development opportunities that align with our core markets and long-term growth strategy to effectively deploy investment capital. Next, we'll consider debt repayment to strengthen our balance sheet and improve financial flexibility. We're also committed to exploring additional ways to create shareholder value. We previously announced a $50 million share repurchase program in March 2025, which is active through March of 2026. In the second quarter of '25, we repurchased 1.1 million shares for $6.9 million. We will continue to evaluate the timing and amount of future share repurchases based on market conditions and other factors. Transitioning to Slide 15, we are raising the low-end and midpoint of our full year 2025 adjusted EBITDA guidance and narrowing the 2025 revenue range based on performance year-to-date. Full year 2025 guidance is as follows: Total revenues of $765 million to $835 million; for the first half of the year, we reported revenues of $363 million and are still expecting a stronger back half of the year; adjusted EBITDA of $175 million to $200 million, which is an increase of approximately $13 million at the midpoint, reflecting year-over-year margin improvement driven by a more efficient cost structure across the business; adjusted gross margin of 50% to 52%, which is a roughly 600 basis point expansion at the midpoint versus 2024 results, primarily driven by restructuring initiatives, improved utilization across our streamlined manufacturing network and the growing contribution from international partnerships. Moving to segment level revenue guidance. For MCM product sales, we are anticipating $440 million to $475 million across U.S. government and international orders. Commercial products, including KLOXXADO, are expected in the range of $265 million to $300 million. And for the third quarter of '25, we're forecasting total revenue of $180 million to $210 million, driven by ongoing strength across both our commercial and MCM portfolios. This outlook reflects our visibility into the timing of MCM deliveries with the majority expected in the second half of the year. Additionally, NARCAN continues to perform well, supported by consistent demand. We believe that the intranasal naloxone market will grow in the low to mid-single digits, supported by ongoing public health initiatives and strong demand across both commercial and public interest channels. We continue to maintain a market-leading position in this space, which we think further reflects the resilience of our brand and the trust we've built with key stakeholders. In closing, on Slide 15, we're making solid progress on the turnaround phase of our multiyear plan with strong execution through the first half of '25. Our 2025 revenue outlook remains focused on our core business across both the medical countermeasures and commercial segments. Of note, we are also seeing strong demand for our MCM products internationally, a key strategic focus with year-to-date sales of $102 million or 48% of total MCM revenue. Utilization has improved across our manufacturing network and streamlined operating expenses are driving sustained positive operating cash flow and robust cash generation year-to-date. The improved profitability of our business, coupled with the significant improvement in cash has resulted in a material deleveraging of the business. Again, net leverage ended at 1.9x adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of '25, down from 9.9x in the prior year. Looking forward, we remain committed to pursuing strategic growth investments while actively identifying opportunities to deliver value to our shareholders. I'll now turn the call back over to Joe to discuss our business outlook and catalysts. Joe?
