2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). In all transactions, the Company is the principal as it controls the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer and therefore recognizes revenue on a gross basis. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to distinct performance obligations and recognized as revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs rather than as an additional promised service. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, the Company's active contractual performance obligations are referenced in Note 3 and consist of the following: fivesix performance obligations relate to research and development services; and five relate to manufacture and delivery of product. The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $82.9$64.9 million as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023. Remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price for which work has not been performed and excludes unexercised contract options. The Company expects to recognize this amount as revenue within the next three years as the specific timing for satisfying performance obligations is subjective and largely outside the Company's control.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. 

Contract modifications may occur during the course of performance of our contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are for services that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time. A portion of the Company's revenue is derived from long-term contracts that span multiple years. All of the Company’s revenue related to current research and development performance obligations is recognized over time, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the services as the Company performs these services. The Company recognizes revenue related to these services based on the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation and measures this progress under an input method, which is based on the Company’s cost incurred relative to total estimated costs.  Under this method, progress is measured based on the cost of resources consumed (i.e., cost of third-party services performed, cost of direct labor hours incurred, and cost of materials consumed) compared to the total estimated costs to completely satisfy the performance obligation. Incurred costs represent work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby best depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. The incurred and estimated costs used in the measure of progress include third-party services performed, direct labor hours, and material consumed.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections may result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Generally, amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms either at periodic intervals (monthly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones; as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, the accounts receivable balance in the condensed balance sheet includes approximately $46.3$5.1 million of unbilled receivables. This amount includes net proceeds, net of Meridian fee (as defined below) fromprimarily relates to international sales which will bethat are billed and collected by Meridian and paid to SIGA.under the terms specified in the International Promotion Agreement with Meridian. Under typical payment terms of fixed price arrangements, the customer pays the Company either performance-based payments or progress payments. For the Company’s cost-type arrangements, the customer generally pays the Company for its actual costs incurred, as well as its allocated overhead and general and administrative costs.G&A. Such payments occur within a short period of time from billing. When the Company receives consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, the Company records deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $3.5approximately $0.1 million of revenue that was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period. 

Repurchase of shares

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. The excess of the purchase price above par value of repurchased shares that are retired is presented as an increase to accumulated deficit (or a reduction of retained earnings, if any).

3. Procurement Contracts and Research Agreements

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 U.S. Strategic National Stockpile ("Strategic Stockpile"), and to manufacture and deliver to the Strategic Stockpile, or store as vendor-managed inventory, up to 212,000 courses of the intravenous (IV) formulation of TPOXX® (“IV TPOXX®”). Additionally, 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®, and procurement activities. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, the contract with BARDA (as amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the "19C BARDA Contract") contemplates up to approximately $602.5 million of payments, of which approximately $51.7 million of payments are included within the base period of performance of five years, approximately $268.9 million of payments are related to exercised options and up to approximately $281.9 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, including during the base period of performance. 

The base period of performance specifies potential payments of approximately $51.7 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 20,000 courses 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 $32.0 million to fund advanced development of IV TPOXX®;reimbursed activities; and payments of approximately $0.6 million for supportive procurement activities. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, the Company hashad 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, $4.3 million for the delivery of IV FDP to the Strategic Stockpile and $17.1$20.1 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2022,, $2.9 million was recognized as revenue. The remaining $0.3 million of deferred revenue will be recognized as IV FDP containing such IV BDS is delivered to and accepted by the Strategic Stockpile. 

The options that have been exercised to date provide for payments up to approximately $268.9 million. There are exercised options for the following activities: payments up to $11.2 million for the procurement of raw materials used in the 2020 manufacture of certain courses of oral TPOXX®; payments up to $213.9 million for the delivery of up to 726,140 courses of oral TPOXX®; payments up to $25.6 million for the manufacture of courses of IV FDP, of which $10.2 million of payments relate to the manufacture of IV BDS to be used in the manufacture of IV FDP,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 September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, the Company hashad received $225.1 million for the delivery (and related procurement of raw materials) of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile; received $10.2 million for the completed manufacture of IV BDS, which has been recorded as deferred revenue as of September 30, 2022; March 31, 2023; and received or billed $8.1$7.6 million in connection with post-marketing activities for oral and IV TPOXX®.

Unexercised options specify potential payments up to approximately $281.9 million in total (if all such options are exercised). There are options for the following activities: payments of up to $225.1 million for the delivery of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile; payments of up to $51.2 million for the manufacture of courses of IV FDP, of which up to $20.5 million of payments would be paid upon the manufacture of IV BDS to be used in the manufacture of IV FDP; and payments of up to approximately $5.6 million for supportive procurement activities.

The options related to IV TPOXX® are divided into two primary manufacturing steps. There are options related to the manufacture of bulk drug substance (“IV BDS Options”), and there are corresponding options (for the same number of IV courses) for the manufacture of final drug product (“IV FDP Options”). BARDA may choose to exercise any, all, or none of these options in its sole discretion. The 19C BARDA Contract includes: three separate IV BDS Options, each providing for the bulk drug substance equivalent of 64,000 courses of IV TPOXX®; and three separate IV FDP Options, each providing for 64,000 courses of final drug product of IV TPOXX®. BARDA has 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 IV FDP Option). To date, BARDA has exercised one of the three IV BDS options and one of the three IV FDP options, both of which were exercised simultaneously in 2022. If BARDA decides to only exercise the remaining IV BDS Options, then the Company would receive payments up to $20.5 million; alternatively, if BARDA decides to exercise all the remaining IV BDS Options and IV FDP Options, then the Company would receive payments up to $51.2 million. For each set of options relating to a specific group of courses (for instance, the IV BDS and IV FDP options that reference the same 64,000 courses), BARDA has the option to independently purchase IV BDS or IV FDP. 

Revenues in connection with the 19C BARDA Contract are recognized either over time or at a point in time. Performance obligations related to product delivery generate revenue at a point in time. Revenue from other performance obligations under the 19C BARDA Contract are recognized over time using an input method using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion. For the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 20212022, the Company recognized revenues of $2.7$1.6 million and $1.1$0.7 million, respectively, on an over time basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized revenues of $4.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, on an over time basis. RevenueIn contrast, revenue recognized for product delivery, and therefore at a point in time, for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 was $7.2 million. In contrast, noNo revenue was recognized for product delivery, and therefore no revenue was recognized at a point in time, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2023.

U.S. Department of Defense Procurement Contracts

On May 12, 2022, the Company announced a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") for the procurement of oral TPOXX® ("DoD Contract #1").  The DoD Contract #1 included a firm commitment for the DoD to procure approximately $3.6 million of oral TPOXX®, and an option, exercisable at the sole discretion of the DoD, for the procurement of an additional approximately $3.8 million of oral TPOXX®.  In the second quarter of 2022, the Company delivered oral TPOXX® to the DoD and recognized revenue of $3.6 million, for the delivery of oral TPOXX® to the DoD, fulfilling the firm commitment in DoD Contract #1. In the third quarter of 2022, the DoD exercised the option for $3.8 million of oral TPOXX® and the Company satisfied its obligation by delivering product in September 2022 and recognized the related revenue in September 2022. revenue. 

On September 28, 2022, the Company and the DoD signed a new procurement contract ("DoD Contract #2"). The DoD Contract #2 includes a firm commitment for the DoD to procure approximately $5.2$5.1 million of oral TPOXX®, and an option, exercisable at the sole discretion of the DoD for the procurement of an additional approximately $5.5 million of oral TPOXX®.

In March 2023, the Company fulfilled the firm commitment by delivering $5.1 million of oral TPOXX® to the DoD, and recognized the related revenue. Additionally, in March 2023 the DoD exercised the $5.5 million option in DoD Contract #2 for the procurement of oral TPOXX®.

International Procurement Contracts

This year, throughAs of OctoberMarch 31, 2022,2023, the Company had firm commitments with two European countries for the delivery of approximately $8 million of oral TPOXX®, of which approximately $1 million of oral TPOXX® was delivered in April 2023. The remaining firm commitment relates to an order that was received in 2022. The firm commitments are specified in contracts that were originated under an International Promotion Agreement (defined and discussed below). Through the International Promotion Agreement, Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc. ("Meridian") is the counterparty to international contracts under which orders are placed for the purchase of oral TPOXX®. 

In addition to the above-mentioned contracts with firm commitments, the Company has a contract with the Canadian Department of National Defence ( "CDND") under which the CDND has an option until March 31, 2024, exercisable at its sole discretion, for the purchase of up to an additional $6 million of oral TPOXX®. As an international contract, this contract is also administered under the International Promotion Agreement. The contract with the CDND (the "Canadian Military Contract"), issued in April of 2020, is option-based and initially specified that the CDND would purchase up to $14 million of oral TPOXX® if all options were exercised. Prior to 2023, approximately $8 million of oral TPOXX® had been purchased and delivered. 

In 2022, the Company received firm commitment orders from 13 international customers (including Canada) for the delivery of approximately $77 million of oral TPOXX®, of which approximately $39 million iswas for Canada and approximately $38 million iswas for jurisdictions in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.  Additionally, the contract with CDND (defined below) has an option until March 31, 2024, exercisable at the sole discretion of CDND, for the purchase of up to an additional $6 million of oral TPOXX®. With respect to the $77 million of firm commitment orders that have beenwere received this year,in 2022, approximately $66$71 million of oral TPOXX® was delivered and recorded as revenue in the nine2022. months ended September 30, 2022. Through an International Promotion Agreement (defined below), Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc. (“Meridian”) is the counterparty to international contracts under which orders are placed for the purchase of oral TPOXX®.  The Public Health Agency of Canada (“PHAC”) and the Canadian Department of National Defence (“CDND”) are among the contracting parties for the purchase of oral TPOXX® (see below for a summary description of these contracts). 

On

On April 3, 2020, the Company announced that the CDND awarded a contract (the "Canadian Military Contract") to Meridian, pursuant to which the CDND would purchase up to approximately $14 million of oral TPOXX® over four years. Prior to 2022, approximately $4 million of oral TPOXX® had been ordered and delivered to CDND.  No courses of oral TPOXX® were delivered under this contract for the firstnine months of 2022. As of September 30, 2022, an approximate firm commitment order of $4 million remains to be delivered under this contract.  Additionally, there are approximately $6 million of unexercised options, exercisable at the sole discretion of CDND, remaining under this contract.

The above-listed contract awards were coordinated between SIGA and Meridian under the international promotion agreement (as amended, the "International Promotion Agreement") that was entered into by the parties on June 3, 2019. Under the International Promotion Agreement, Meridian is the counterparty in connection with international contracts for oral TPOXX® and SIGA is responsible for manufacture and delivery of any oral TPOXX® purchased thereunder.

Under the terms of the International Promotion Agreement, as amended, which has an initial term that expires on May 31, 2024, Meridian was granted exclusive rights to market, advertise, promote, offer for sale, or sell oral TPOXX® in a field of use specified in the International Promotion Agreement in all geographic regions except for the United States (the “Territory”), and Meridian has agreed not to commercialize any competing product, as defined in the International Promotion Agreement, in the specified field of use in the Territory. SIGA retains ownership, intellectual property, distribution and supply rights and regulatory responsibilities in connection with TPOXX®, and, in the United States market, also retains sales and marketing rights with respect to oral TPOXX®. SIGA’s consent is required for the entry into any sales arrangement pursuant to the International Promotion Agreement.

Sales to international customers pursuant to the International Promotion Agreement are invoiced and collected by Meridian, and such collections are remitted, less Meridian's fees, to the Company under a quarterly process specified in the International Promotion Agreement. The fee Meridian retains pursuant to the International Promotion Agreement is a specified percentage of the collected proceeds of sales of oral TPOXX® net of certain expenses, for calendar years in which customer collected amounts net of such expenses are less than or equal to a specified threshold, and a higher specified percentage of such collected net proceeds for calendar years in which such net collected amounts exceed the specified threshold. It is probable that we will exceed the specified threshold in 2022 and, as a result, the Company has recorded and will continue to record the higher specified percentage for all International Promotion Agreement sales in 2022.

Revenue in connection with international procurement contracts for the delivery of product are recognized at a point in time on a gross basis, as the Company acts as the principal in the transaction. During the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $61.3 million and $66.2 million of sales, respectively, in connection with international contracts. During the threeMarch 31, 2023 and nineMarch 31, 2022, months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized $2.3 million and $12.7 million of sales, respectively, for deliveriesdid not recognize any revenue related to PHAC and CDND.international contracts. 

Research Agreements and Grants

In July 2019, the Company was awarded a multi-year research contract valued at a total of $19.5 million, with an initial award of $12.4 million, from the DoD to support work in pursuit of a potential label expansion for oral TPOXX® that would include post-exposure prophylaxis ("PEP") of smallpox (such work known as the "PEP Label Expansion Program" and the contract referred to as the "PEP Label Expansion R&D Contract"). In subsequent modifications, the DoD increased the scope and the available funding under the PEP Label Expansion R&D Contract to approximately $27 million. The period of performance for this contract, as modified, terminates on January 31, 2025. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, remaining revenue to be recognized in the future under the PEP Label Expansion R&D Contract is up to $11.2$5 million. Revenue from the performance obligation under the PEP Label Expansion R&D Contract is recognized over time using an input method using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion. For the three months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 20212022, the Company, under the PEP Label Expansion R&D Contract, recognized revenue of $4.2$1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, on an over time basis. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company, under the PEP Label Expansion R&D Contract, recognized revenue of $13.1 million and $2.0$2.3 million, respectively, on an over time basis.

Contracts and grants include, among other things, options that may or may not be exercised at the U.S. Government’s discretion.

7. Financial Instruments

2016 Warrant

On September 2, 2016, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) with OCM Strategic Credit SIGTEC Holdings, LLC (“Lender”). The Company voluntarily prepaid this Loan Agreement in 2020. Upon such prepayment and release, the Loan Agreement was terminated. In connection with the entry into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued a warrant (the “Warrant”) to the Lender on September 2, 2016 to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to $4.0 million divided by the lower of (i) $2.29 per share and (ii) the subscription price paid in connection with the Rights Offering. The Warrant provides for weighted average anti-dilution protection and is exercisable in whole or in part forOffering completed on tenNovember 16, 2016. (10) years from the date of issuance. The per share subscription price paid was $1.50 in connection with the Rights Offering; accordingly, the exercise price of the Warrant was set at $1.50 per share, and there were 2.7 million shares underlying the Warrant. Taking into accountSubsequent to partial exercises of the Warrant, there were approximately 1.0 million shares underlyingin 2022, the outstanding Warrant asremainder ofDecember 31, 2021.

In the second quarter of 2022, the Warrant was fully exercised and therefore there arewere no remaining underlying shares as of September 30, 2022December 31, 2022. . See Note 8. ForDuring the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2022, we recorded a gain of approximately $0.4 million, reflecting a decrease in the fair value of the liability-classified warrant primarily due to the decrease in our stock price prior to the exercise of the Warrant.

As of December 31, 2021, there were approximately 1.0 million shares underlying the outstanding Warrant and the fair value of the Warrant was $6.5 million. The fair value of the liability-classified Warrant was calculated using the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.21%;no dividend yield; an expected life of 4.7 years; and a volatility factor of 55%.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and income tax payable approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Prior to being fully exercised, common stock warrants, which were classified as a liability, were recorded at their fair market value as of each reporting period.

The measurement of fair value requires the use of techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022March 31, 2023. As of each of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 20212022, the Company had approximately$97.8 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively, of cash equivalents classified as Level 1 financial instruments. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $35.1 million of cash equivalents classified as Level 2 financial instruments. There were no Level 2 financial instruments as of March 31, 2023. As of December 31, 20212022. 

The following table presents changes in, the liability-classified warrant measured at fair value usingCompany had approximately $40.5 million of cash equivalents classified as Level 32 inputs:financial instruments. 

9. Per Share Data

The Company computes, presents and discloses earnings per share in accordance with the authoritative guidance, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings per share of entities with publicly held common stock or potential common stock. The objective of basic EPS is to measure the performance of an entity over the reporting period by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding. The objective of diluted EPS is consistent with that of basic EPS, except that it also gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted loss per share computation: 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the diluted earnings per share calculation reflects the effect of the exercise of outstanding warrants and any corresponding elimination of the impact included in operating results from the change in fair value of the warrants. Weighted-average diluted shares include the dilutive effect of in-the-money options, stock-settled RSUs and warrants. The dilutive effect of warrants, stock-settled RSUs and options is calculated based on the average share price for each fiscal period using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options, the average amount of compensation cost for future service that the Company has not yet recognized, and the amount of tax benefits that would be recorded in additional paid-in capital when the award becomes deductible, are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase shares. Cash-settled RSUs were presumed to be cash-settled and therefore excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 because the net effect of their inclusion, including the elimination of the impact in the operating results of the change in fair value of these RSUs, would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the weighted average number of shares under the cash-settled RSUs excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 32,180 and 12,901, respectively.

For the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred losses and as a result, the equity instruments listed below were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss)loss per share as the effect of the exercise, conversion or vesting of such instruments would have been anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of equity instruments excluded consists of:

⁽¹⁾ For the three months ended March 31, 2023, this includes 30,702 units which are expected to settle in cash. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, this includes 54,792 units which were settled in cash. 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we may be involved in a variety of claims, suits, investigations and proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business, collections claims, breach of contract claims, labor and employment claims, tax and other matters. Although such claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of such current pending matters, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of legal costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Purchase Commitments

In the course of our business, the Company regularly enters into agreements with third party organizations to provide contract manufacturing services and research and development services. Under these agreements, the Company issues purchase orders, which obligate the Company to pay a specified price when agreed-upon services are performed. In connection with many CMO purchase orders, reimbursement by CMOs for inventory losses is limited. Commitments under the purchase orders do not exceed our planned commercial and research and development needs. As of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $21.8$29.3 million of purchase commitments associated with manufacturing obligations.

11. Related Party Transactions

Board of Directors and Outside Counsel

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 “Safe Harbor StatementForward-Looking Statements” at the end of this Item 2.

Overview

We areSIGA Technologies, Inc. (“SIGA” or the “Company”) is a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company. OurThe Company sells its lead product, TPOXX® (“oral TPOXX®,”, also known as "tecovirimat" in certain international markets), to the U.S. Government and international governments (including government affiliated entities). Additionally, the Company sells the intravenous formulation of TPOXX® ("IV TPOXX®") to the U.S. Government.

TPOXX® is an oral formulation 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.

In connection with IV TPOXX®, SIGA announced on May 19, 2022 that the FDA approved this formulation for the treatment of smallpox.

In addition to being approved by the FDA, oral TPOXX® (tecovirimat) has regulatory approval with the European Medicines Agency ("EMA"), Health Canada and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency ("MHRA") of the United Kingdom. The EMA and MHRA approved label indication covers the treatment of smallpox, monkeypox ("mpox"), cowpox, and vaccinia complications following vaccination against smallpox. The Health Canada approved label indication covers the treatment of smallpox.

With respect to the regulatory approvals by the EMA, MHRA and Health Canada, oral tecovirimat represents the same formulation that was approved by the FDA in July 2018 under the brand name TPOXX®.

For the intravenous formulation of TPOXX® ("IV TPOXX®"), SIGA announced on May 19, 2022 that the FDA approved this formulation for the treatment of smallpox. 

Monkeypox Outbreak

Starting in June 2022, procurement orders for oral TPOXX® from new international jurisdictions, as well as orders under existing contracts, have occurred as SIGA has received ongoing inquiries about accessing oral TPOXX® inIn connection with a global monkeypox outbreak.  The Company believes that a portion of the coursespotential FDA label expansion of oral TPOXX® delivered underfor an indication covering smallpox post-exposure prophylaxis (“PEP”), the Company has recently met target enrollment for an immunogenicity trial and an expanded safety trial.

Monkeypox is a disease caused by infectionIn connection with the monkeypox virus. The monkeypox virus is partglobal response to an mpox outbreak, a series of the same family of viruses as smallpox. Monkeypox symptoms are similar to smallpox but are not as severe, with historical fatality in Africa of less than 1% to 10% depending on regionobservational and clade.  The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970. Since then, monkeypox has been reported in several central and western African countries, with case numbers greatly increasing in recent years. Prior to the ongoing 2022 outbreak, nearly all monkeypox cases in people outside of Africarandomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials were linked to international travel to countries where the disease commonly occurs, or through imported animals, including two cases in the United States in 2021. These cases are currently occurring on multiple continents. On July 23, 2022, the World Health Organization declared the monkeypox outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern. On August 4, 2022, the U.S. Government declared the monkeypox outbreak as a public health emergency.

Startinginitiated, starting in the third quarter of 2022, in connection with the monkeypox outbreak, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials have been initiated in the United States, United Kingdom and Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") to further assess the safety and efficacy of TPOXX® in participants with monkeypox.mpox. The first three randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials to be launched were in the United States, United Kingdom and the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"). These randomized clinical trials are now enrolling patients to collect data on the potential benefits of using TPOXX® as an antiviral treatment for active monkeypoxmpox disease.

The NIAID-funded AIDS Clinical Trials Group is leading the study, which may later expand to international sites. Study investigators aim to enroll more than 500 participants, including children and those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, fromat clinical research sites. The trial will also include an open label arm that will include children, pregnant/breastfeeding individuals and those who are immunocompromised or have severe monkeypoxmpox disease.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant societal and economic disruption. The continuing direct and indirect impacts ofCompany may be able to use data from the pandemic are significant and broad-based, including supply chain disruptions and labor shortages that started during the pandemic and continue to represent business and financial risks.  As such, the Company is continually coordinating with service providers and vendors, in particular Contract Manufacturing Organizations ("CMOs") that constitute our supply chain, with respect to risks and mitigating actions.

As of the filing date of this report, the Company has not identified or been notified by government customers of impediments to the continued full performance of their government contracts. With regard to day-to-day operations, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the secondary effects of the pandemic, have at times slowed the pace of execution of government contractstrials noted above, as well as new contract generation. Additionally,from other trials, to potentially pursue an FDA label expansion of oral TPOXX® for an indication covering the COVID-19 pandemic,treatment of mpox. The viability, and timing, of a potential FDA submission for an mpox indication will be impacted by a series of factors, including the secondary effects of the pandemic have increased the risk of delays in connection with a broad range of operational activities, including: supply chain procurement of raw materialsmagnitude and manufacturing; and certain research and development activities, such as those that involve clinical trials.

19C BARDA Contract 

The options that have been exercised to date provide for payments up to approximately $268.9 million. There are exercised options for the following activities: payments up to $11.2 million for the procurement of raw materials used in the 2020 manufacture of certain courses of oral TPOXX®; payments up to $213.9 million for the delivery of up to 726,140 courses of oral TPOXX®; payments up to $25.6 million for the manufacture of courses of IV FDP, of which $10.2 million of payments relate to the manufacture of IV BDS to be used in the manufacture of IV FDP,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 September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company hashad received $225.1 million for the delivery (and related procurement of raw materials) of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile; received $10.2 million for the completed manufacture of IV BDS, which has been recorded as deferred revenue as of September 30, 2022;March 31, 2023; and received or billed $8.1$7.6 million in connection with post-marketing activities for oral and IV TPOXX®.

Unexercised options specify potential payments up to approximately $281.9 million in total (if all such options are exercised). There are options for the following activities: payments of up to $225.1 million for the delivery of oral TPOXX® to the Strategic Stockpile; payments of up to $51.2 million for the manufacture of courses of IV FDP, of which up to $20.5 million of payments would be paid upon the manufacture of IV BDS to be used in the manufacture of IV FDP; and payments of up to approximately $5.6 million for supportive procurement activities.

The options related to IV TPOXX® are divided into two primary manufacturing steps. There are options related to the manufacture of bulk drug substance (“IV BDS Options”), and there are corresponding options (for the same number of IV courses) for the manufacture of final drug product (“IV FDP Options”). BARDA may choose to exercise any, all, or none of these options in its sole discretion. The 19C BARDA Contract includes: three separate IV BDS Options, each providing for the bulk drug substance equivalent of 64,000 courses of IV TPOXX®; and three separate IV FDP Options, each providing for 64,000 courses of final drug product of IV TPOXX®. BARDA has 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 IV FDP Option). To date, BARDA has exercised one of the three IV BDS options and one of the three IV FDP options, both of which were exercised simultaneously in 2022. If BARDA decides to only exercise the remaining IV BDS Options, then the Company would receive payments up to $20.5 million; alternatively, if BARDA decides to exercise all the remaining IV BDS Options and IV FDP Options, then the Company would receive payments up to $51.2 million. For each set of options relating to a specific group of courses (for instance, the IV BDS and IV FDP options that reference the same 64,000 courses), BARDA has the option to independently purchase IV BDS or IV FDP. The Company estimates that sales of the IV formulation under this contract (under current terms), assuming the IV FDP Options were exercised, would have a gross margin (sales less cost of sales, as a percentage of sales) that is less than 40%.

Under the terms of this contract, exercise of procurement options is at the sole discretion of BARDA. The request for proposal that preceded the award of the 19C BARDA Contract indicated that the expected purpose of the contract was to maintain the level of smallpox antiviral preparedness in the Strategic Stockpile. Based on prior product delivery activity, and current FDA-approved shelf life of oral TPOXX®, the Company estimates that approximately 940,000920,000 courses of smallpox antiviral treatment would need to be delivered to the U.S. Government between 2022Strategic Stockpile in 2023 and 2024 in order to maintain historical stockpile levels of unexpired smallpox antiviralTPOXX® treatment during this period.in the Strategic Stockpile.
