Performance attribution for the quarter was driven by the successful delivery of $24 million in IV TPOXX to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile and $13 million to international customers.
-
The company completed all product obligations under the long-standing 19C contract, marking a transition point as they negotiate a new multi-year procurement agreement with the U.S. government.
-
Management attributes the slower-than-expected pace of U.S. contract negotiations to structural changes within HHS, including the transition of contract management from BARDA to the SNS and vacant leadership positions.
-
