Products Revenue, net
NARCAN®
For Q1 2024, revenues from NARCAN® (naloxone HCl) Nasal Spray increased $18.1 million, or 18%, as compared with Q1 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher branded NARCAN® sales to U.S. public interest channels and sales of OTC NARCAN®, partially offset by lower Canadian retail sales of branded NARCAN®.
Other Commercial Products
For Q1 2024, revenues from Other Commercial Products decreased $5.8 million, or 100%, as compared with Q1 2023. The decrease was due to no sales of our Vaxchora® and Vivotif® products during the current quarter, which we sold to Bavarian Nordic as part of our travel health business in May 2023.
Anthrax MCM
For Q1 2024, revenues from Anthrax MCM increased $34.0 million, or 155%, as compared with Q1 2023. The increase reflects the impact of timing of sales related to CYFENDUS® and BioThrax®. 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 Company delivery of orders that follow.
Smallpox MCM
For Q1 2024, revenues from Smallpox MCM increased $43.0 million as compared with Q1 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher VIGIV and ACAM2000® sales due to timing. Fluctuations in revenues from Smallpox MCM result from the timing of the exercise of annual purchase options in the existing procurement contracts, the timing of USG purchases, the availability of governmental funding and Company delivery of orders that follow.
Other Products
For Q1 2024, revenues from other product sales increased $41.2 million as compared with Q1 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher BAT and RSDL® product sales due to timing.
Bioservices Revenues
Services
For Q1 2024, revenues from Bioservices services increased $5.7 million, or 45%, as compared with Q1 2023. The increase was driven by an increase in production at the Company's Camden facility, partially offset by decreases in production at the Company's Canton and Winnipeg facilities.
Leases
For Q1 2024, revenues from Bioservices leases decreased $1.6 million, or 89%, as compared with Q1 2023. The decrease was related to the completion of a lease for a Bioservices customer at our Canton facility.
Contracts and Grants
For Q1 2024, revenues from contracts and grants increased $1.5 million, or 23%, as compared with Q1 2023. The increase was due to development work in connection with EbangaTM, partially offset by the close out of other development initiatives.

| Total operating expenses | $ | 260.6 | $ | 311.9 | (16 | )% |
Cost of Commercial Product Sales
For Q1 2024, cost of Commercial product sales increased $6.3 million, or 14%, as compared with Q1 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of OTC NARCAN®, which launched during the third quarter of 2023, partially offset by lower Canadian retail sales of branded NARCAN®.
Cost of MCM Product Sales
For Q1 2024, cost of MCM product sales increased $6.8 million, or 12%, as compared with Q1 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of BAT®, VIGIV, BioThrax® and CYFENDUS®, partially offset by a decrease in shutdown costs.
Cost of Bioservices
For Q1 2024, cost of Bioservices decreased $21.4 million, or 41%, as compared with Q1 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in overhead costs at the Company's Camden and Bayview facilities, coupled with no production activities at the Company's Canton facility. The decrease in costs at the Camden facility was partially offset by increases in production activity following the remediation of matters related to the FDA's warning letter, which was closed out in October 2023.
Research and Development Expenses
For Q1 2024, R&D expenses decreased $25.6 million, or 63%, as compared with Q1 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of our development program for CHIKV VLP to Bavarian Nordic and reduction in related overhead costs, as well as a reduction in overhead costs driven by the headcount reductions as a result of restructuring. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in expense related to development activities for EbangaTM.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
For Q1 2024, SG&A expenses decreased $16.6 million, or 16%, as compared with Q1 2023. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in compensation and other employee costs as a result of the restructuring initiatives that began during the first quarter of 2023 and a reduction in professional services fees related to general corporate initiatives in the prior year, including organizational transformation consulting fees. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in marketing expenses related to the launch of OTC NARCAN® and higher legal services fees.

| Capital expenditures | $ | 10.8 | $ | 15.1 | (28 | )% | ||
| Capital expenditures as a % of total revenues | 4 | % | 9 | % | ||||
For Q1 2024, capital expenditures decreased largely due to lower product development activities across the Company's facilities.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we realigned our reportable operating segments to reflect recent changes in our internal operating and reporting process. The Company now manages the business with a focus on three reportable segments: (1) a Commercial Products segment consisting of our NARCAN® and other commercial products which were sold as part of our travel health business in the second quarter of 2023; (2) a MCM Products segment consisting of the Anthrax - MCM, Smallpox - MCM and Other products and (3) a services segment ("Services") consisting of our Bioservices. The Company evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based on revenue 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, R&D, SG&A, amortization of intangible assets, interest and other income (expense) or taxes to its evaluation of the performance of these segments.

MCM Products gross margin percentage increased 109 percentage points to 60% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In the accompanying analysis of financial information, we sometimes use information derived from consolidated and segment financial information that may not be presented in our financial statements or prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Certain of these financial measures are considered not in conformity with GAAP ("non-GAAP financial measures") under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. Specifically, we have referred to the following non-GAAP financial measures:
- Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
- Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share
- Adjusted EBITDA
- Total Segment Revenues
- Total Segment Gross Margin
- Total Segment Gross Margin %
- Total Segment Adjusted Gross Margin
- Total Segment Adjusted Gross Margin %
- Segment Adjusted Gross Margin
- Segment Adjusted Gross Margin %
We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share, which are non-GAAP financial measures, as net income (loss) and net income (loss) per diluted share, respectively, excluding the impact of changes in fair value of contingent consideration, acquisition and divestiture-related costs, severance and restructuring costs, other income (expense) items and non-cash amortization charges. We use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the purpose of calculating Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share. Management uses Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Diluted Share to assess total Company operating performance on a consistent basis. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered together with our GAAP financial results and GAAP financial measures, provide management and investors with an additional understanding of our business operating results, including underlying trends.
We define Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as consolidated net income (loss) before income tax provision (benefit), interest expense, net, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value of contingent consideration, severance and restructuring costs, other income (expense) items and acquisition and divestiture-related costs. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when considered together with our GAAP financial results and GAAP financial measures, provides management and investors with a more complete understanding of our operating results, including underlying trends. In addition, EBITDA is a common alternative measure of operating performance used by many of our competitors. It is used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and others to value and compare the financial performance of companies in our industry, although it may be defined differently by different companies. Therefore, we also believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, considered along with corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides management and investors with additional information for comparison of our operating results with the operating results of other companies.
We have included the definitions of Segment Gross Margin and Segment Gross Margin %, which are GAAP financial measures, below in order to more fully define the components of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release. We define Segment Gross Margin, as a segment's revenues, less a segment's cost of sales or services. We define Segment Gross Margin %, as Segment Gross Margin as a percentage of a segments revenues. We define Segment Adjusted Gross Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure as Segment Gross Margin excluding the impact of restructuring costs and non-cash items related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration. We define Segment Adjusted Gross Margin %, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Segment Adjusted Gross Margin as a percentage of a segment's revenues.
We define Total Segment Revenues, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as our Total Revenues, less contracts and grants revenue, which is also equal to the sum of the revenues of our reportable operating segments. We define Total Segment Gross Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Total Segment Revenues less our aggregate cost of sales or services. We define Total Segment Gross Margin %, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Total Segment Gross Margin as a percentage of Total Segment Revenues. We define Total Segment Adjusted Gross Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Total Segment Gross Margin, excluding the impact of restructuring costs and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration. We define Total Segment Adjusted Gross Margin %, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as Total Segment Adjusted Gross Margin as a percentage of Total Segment Revenues.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not defined in the same manner by all companies and may not be comparable with other similarly titled measures of other companies. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are a matter of management judgment and depend upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
