Revenues in the reported quarter were up 62.3% from the prior-year period to $394.7 million, primarily due to an increase in product sales and contract development and manufacturing services revenues.
Quarter in Detail
Total product sales surged 63% to $298.5 million from the year-earlier quarter due to increased sales of anthrax vaccines and ACAM2000.
ACAM2000 generated sales of $70 million. Meanwhile, newly-acquired product, Narcan nasal spray, added $72.8 million to product sales, relatively flat year over year.
Notably, sales of anthrax vaccines (BioThrax and AV7909) were $132.3 million in the reported quarter, reflecting a significant increase year over year. Other product sales plunged 69% on a year-over-year basis to $23.4 million.
Revenues from contracts and grants decreased $17.4 million year over year to $23.6 million.
Contract manufacturing revenues surged to $72.6 million, increasing $53.9 million from the year-ago quarter’s figure due the company's landmark public-private CDMO partnership with BARDA in support of the U.S. government's Operation Warp Speed Program, related to the fight againstCOVID-19 pandemic.
The company recorded adjusted EBITDA of $15.3 million in the reported quarter compared with $8.4 million in the year-ago period, up 82.1%.
