EMERGENT BIOSOLUTIONS REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER AND FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2013

· Strong year-over-year growth in third quarter and nine month revenue and net income

· Full year 2013 guidance revised to upper end of the previous range

ROCKVILLE, MD, November 7, 2013—Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) announced today its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Total revenues for Q3 2013 were $89.1 million as compared to $66.6 million in 2012.  Total revenues for the first nine months of 2013 were $214.6 million as compared to $187.3 million in 2012.  Net income for Q3 2013 was $13.5 million, or $0.37 per basic share, as compared to $6.6 million, or $0.18 per basic share, in 2012.  Net income for the first nine months of 2013 was $15.9 million, or $0.44 per basic share, as compared to $7.4 million, or $0.21 per basic share, in 2012.

Based upon these results, the company is revising upward its 2013 financial forecast to reflect a narrowing to the upper end of the previous guidance.  Specifically, the company is forecasting full year 2013 total revenues of $300 to $310 million, split between product revenues of $250 to $255 million and contracts and grants revenue of $50 to $55 million, and net income of $25 to $30 million.

Daniel J. Abdun-Nabi, president and chief executive officer of Emergent BioSolutions, stated,  "We are very pleased with our financial results during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013.  As a result of this performance and our visibility into our operations through the end of the year, we are revising upward our full year guidance.  We are also very encouraged by our operational performance.  Our biodefense business continued its strong performance as evidenced by increased BioThrax doses shipped, and better than expected sales of our newly acquired medical countermeasure RSDL.  In addition, we continue to advance our key bioscience product development programs with the goal of partnering for advanced development.  Finally, we continue to pursue acquisitions of additional products or companies that leverage our competencies and drive us toward achieving the goals identified in our growth plan."

Q3 2013 and Subsequent Operational Accomplishments

· Closed on the acquisition and integrated the operations of the Healthcare Protective Products Division (HPPD) of Bracco Diagnostics Inc.;

· Achieved better than expected initial sales of RSDL^® (Decontamination Lotion);

· Received Paul-Ehrlich-Institut approval to market BioThrax^® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed) in Germany with a three-dose primary schedule over six months with triennial boosters thereafter;

· Initiated the mutual recognition process to obtain BioThrax licensure in other key EU countries;

· Submitted to the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) and FDA the Clinical Study Report related to the pivotal study evaluating the immunogenicity and safety of a three-dose regimen for a post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) indication for BioThrax; and

· Completed all vaccinations and visits in the antibiotic non-interference clinical study in support of the BioThrax PEP indication.

Financial Results

Product Sales

For Q3 2013, product sales were $76.3 million, an increase of $22.3 million from $54.0 million for Q3 2012.  This increase was primarily due to a 26% increase in the number of doses of BioThrax delivered, along with $7.0 million in RSDL sales.

For the nine month period of 2013, product sales were $172.3 million, an increase of $30.7 million from $141.5 million in the comparable period of 2012, primarily due to a 14% increase in the number of doses of BioThrax delivered, along with $7.0 million in RSDL sales.

Contracts and Grants Revenues

For Q3 2013, contracts and grants revenues were $12.8 million, an increase of $0.2 million from $12.6 million for Q3 2012.  The increase was primarily due to increased revenues from BARDA related to large-scale manufacturing of BioThrax in Building 55, and to the establishment of the company's Center for Innovation in Advanced Development and Manufacturing (CIADM).

For the nine month period of 2013, contracts and grants revenues were $42.4 million, a decrease of $3.4 million from $45.8 million for the comparable period of 2012.  The decrease was primarily due to decreased revenue from BARDA for development of the PreviThrax™ (Recombinant Protective Antigen Anthrax Vaccine, Purified) product candidate, as well as various development and licensing-related payments received in 2012 that did not occur in 2013, partially offset by revenues from CIADM.

Cost of Product Sales

For Q3 2013, cost of product sales was $20.1 million, an increase of $9.8 million from $10.2 million for Q3 2012.  The increase was primarily due to the 26% increase in the number of BioThrax doses delivered and costs attributable to RSDL sales.  In addition, 3Q 2012 cost of product sales reflected the sale of certain BioThrax doses that had been expensed in a prior period.

For the nine month period of 2013, cost of product sales was $42.7 million, an increase of $11.8 million from $30.9 million for the comparable period of 2012.  The increase was primarily due to the 14% increase in the number of BioThrax doses delivered coupled with an increase in the cost per dose associated with lower production yields in the period in which the doses were produced, as well as costs attributable to RSDL sales.

Research and Development

For Q3 2013, gross research and development expense was $28.9 million, an increase of $1.5 million from $27.4 million for Q3 2012.  For the nine month period of 2013, gross research and development expense was $89.9 million, an increase of $5.7 million from $84.3 million for the comparable period of 2012.  The increase in both periods primarily reflects increased depreciation expense related to the company's Baltimore facility and higher contract services costs.

After adjusting for development contracts and grants revenue and the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests, net research and development expense for Q3 2013 was $16.1 million, as compared to $13.8 million for Q3 2012.  Net research and development expense for the first nine months of 2013 was $46.7 million, as compared to $34.3 million in the comparable period in 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative

For Q3 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses were $22.0 million, an increase of $2.8 million from $19.2 million for Q3 2012.  The increase is primarily due to increased spending related to professional services attributable to M&A and other activities related to the company's growth plan, including the acquisition of HPPD, and costs associated with RSDL sales.

For the nine month period of 2013, selling, general and administrative expenses were $62.5 million, an increase of $5.9 million from $56.5 million for the comparable period of 2012.  The increase was primarily due to costs related to restructuring of the company's U.K. operations, increased spending related to professional services attributable to M&A and other activities related to the company's growth plan, including the acquisition of HPPD, as well as costs associated with RSDL sales.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents plus accounts receivable balance, which consists of unpaid amounts due from the US government, at September 30, 2013 was $202.7 million.
