| Statement |
|---|
| One of the ways that we're looking at is obviously improving our overall operating performance |
| It does provide some incremental upside for the product as we move forward in '25 and beyond |
| I know we are well positioned for success, driven by our focus on protecting communities and addressing the evolving landscape of the global health challenges |
| I'm excited to work with our team, to meet with the key stakeholders across the organization and accelerate Emergent's return to growth |
| We continue to reduce costs and right-size operations in order to de-risk the business and strengthen our financial position |
| Throughout the year, we've been able to meet the ever increasing demand for NARCAN, resulting in expanded access and broader awareness of NARCAN and underpinned by strong support from federal and state programs |
| I think particularly to the public interest segment, I think we see very strong continued federal and state funding and support of those channels |
| I'm confident that these important treatments provide for a bright future and I look forward to advancing the company's progress, improving its financial position and driving value for shareholders |
| NARCAN sales of $111 million demonstrating the continued strength and durability of this product driven by consistent demand from the U.S |
| I think to the first point, the public interest channel in particular, I think we continue to see really strong demand |
| During the fourth quarter, Emergent made great progress improving the fundamentals of our business and advancing our core products |
| Emergent is uniquely positioned to deliver these products in an efficient and cost-effective manner, and we are committed to supporting the U.S |
| Government stakeholders to improve the procurement visibility that is needed to support this critical capability for the benefit of all United States citizen |
| Commercial Product sales of $460 million to $500 million, as we expect continued strong demand for NARCAN in the U.S |
| I'm confident that team insights will enhance how we deliver value to our customers, partners, patients and shareholders |
| Cost of Commercial Product sales in the quarter was $50 million, driven by strong sales of NARCAN |
| Truly remarkable accomplishment by the Emergent team, the leadership team, their teams and the broader organization |
| We had solid revenue in the quarter, which led to full year 2023 revenue in line with the midpoint of our guidance range provided on November 8 |
| For example, that means looking to strengthen the engagement of all of our employees and focusing on our exciting mission to protect, enhance and help save lives |
| Cost of Commercial Products was $210 million, driven by the continued strength of NARCAN Nasal Spray in the existing channels, as well as the launch of NARCAN Nasal Spray over the counter in late August 2023 |
| Based on my three decades of experience in the industry and now knowing the determination of the Emergent Board and the leadership team, I believe we can successfully navigate through these issues that Emergent faces today |
| As a result, we achieved significant contract awards that reinforce the value of our products as an essential part of the government's preparedness planning, which continues to evolve |
| Throughout 2023, we maintained a very positive relationship with the U.S |
| On the retail side, I think we have a strong level of retail stocking, both in store and online, and we start to see consistent demand out of that channel |
| I'm delighted to join the team and further Emergent's vision of protecting and enhancing the lives of patients |
| I believe we have an incredible opportunity to play a key role in public health |
| All decisions will be made through the lens of improving overall performance and enhancing enterprise value |
| And this past year was filled with historic patient and customer-first milestones that broadened access and increased awareness of our lifesaving opioid overdose reversal treatment |
| As you can see, the Emergent team has made notable progress this year, and I look forward to building on this momentum as we execute on our transformation and the important catalysts underway |
| I also want to note an important driver of Emergent's past and future success is quality and compliance |

| Full year adjusted EBITDA was negative $22 million, also at the low end of our range |
| As for the Services segment, revenues were $21 million and segment adjusted gross margin was negative $17 million |
| Also, the near-term challenges that Emergent has been facing, notably our debt, have impacted our ability to achieve our full potential |
| And adjusted net loss was negative $319 million |
| As I stated at the top of the call, every six minutes in this country, we lose a life to opioid overdose |
| And with the recent rise in synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, we see very little sign of abatement |
| And total bioservices revenues $21 million reflecting our continued transition to focus on existing customers |
| In one 24-hour period, we lose approximately 240 individuals |
| And the Services segment had revenue of $79 million and segment adjusted gross margin of negative $103 million, influenced by sales volume and costs in the first half of 2023 prior to our restructuring efforts announced on August 8 |
| Government's need to maintain a high level of preparedness against a wide range of potential threats that frankly are increasing as events unfold worldwide |
| Government is balancing multiple threat preparedness needs with the level of funding provided by Congress and that this fact could impact the magnitude and timing of, in particular, anthrax procurements in the near term, even as this potential threat remains a top strategic priority |
| Operating cash flow in the full year was negative, but in the second half of 2023, it was positive $92 million |
| Today, opioid overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S |
| As a leading biodefense contractor, we're addressing the most pressing and urgent threats, like the opioid epidemic, where data tells every six minutes an American dies from an opioid overdose, to anthrax, the number one bacterial infectious threat, to smallpox, the number one viral threat, to botulism, the most lethal biologic toxin, Ebola, hemorrhagic fever, and chemical threats like nerve gas that have implications to our service men and women |
| Full year total segment adjusted gross margin was $336 million or 33% at the low end of our guidance range |
| Once again, we apologize for -- not sure what happened with -- one of the satellites went down or something, but we're here |
| Emergent is providing critical products to address global health crisis in an increasingly dangerous world |
| Of course, a business transformation isn't going to happen overnight |
