SIGA TECHNOLOGIES INC (SIGA)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

  • Q2 2025 delivered a step-up quarter: total revenues $81.1M and product sales $79.1M, driven by U.S. Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) deliveries ($53M oral TPOXX, $26M IV TPOXX); net income was $35.5M ($0.49 diluted EPS) versus $1.8M ($0.03) in Q2 2024 and a $(0.01) loss in Q1 2025 .
  • U.S. government support intensified: BARDA 19C development funding increased by $27M in Q2 (+$14M manufacturing support in April, +$13M pediatric in June); management highlighted continued engagement on a new long-term procurement framework post-19C .
  • Cash remained strong at $182.5M with no debt; SIGA paid a $0.60 special dividend on May 15, 2025, underscoring capital return capacity .
  • International/regulatory watch item: EMA’s CHMP initiated a referral procedure reviewing TPOXX’s benefit-risk in Europe based on recent mpox trials; SIGA plans science-based responses while emphasizing safety data and smallpox focus .
  • Street estimates context: S&P Global consensus for Q2 2025 revenue and EPS was unavailable; results are shown vs prior quarter and prior year; future models may adjust for lumpy U.S. orders and added BARDA funding (S&P Global consensus unavailable for Q2 2025).

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • U.S. SNS deliveries drove a revenue surge: Q2 product sales of $79.1M (oral $53M; IV $26M) and total revenues of $81.1M; operating income of $45.7M and diluted EPS of $0.49 .
  • Additional BARDA funding: $27M added in Q2 2025 ($14M for manufacturing activities in April; $13M for pediatric program in June), reinforcing U.S. commitment to TPOXX supply chain resiliency and pediatric development .
  • Balance sheet strength and capital returns: cash and equivalents at $182.5M and a $0.60 special dividend paid May 15, 2025; no debt noted on the call .

Quote (CEO): “We recorded approximately $53 million of oral TPOXX sales and $26 million of IV TPOXX sales… We believe the scale and scope of this activity highlight the breadth and strength of our business model and the value of TPOXX to treat smallpox.”

What Went Wrong

  • Europe regulatory overhang: CHMP opened a referral procedure to reassess benefit-risk based on mpox trial data; SIGA must address detailed questions and provide comprehensive responses, potentially affecting European momentum near-term .
  • Revenue lumpiness persists: management reiterated international orders will remain lumpy, underscoring variability outside the U.S. SNS base .
  • Limited near-term visibility: No formal revenue or EPS guidance; deliveries of a $26M IV order are targeted for 2026, reinforcing longer-dated revenue timing .

Management Commentary

  • “In the second quarter, we recorded approximately $53 million of oral TPOXX sales and $26 million of IV TPOXX sales in connection with deliveries to the Strategic National Stockpile.” – Diem Nguyen, CEO .
  • “The government committed to an additional $13 million of development funding to further support the pediatric program… [and] $14 million… to support manufacturing activities.” – Diem Nguyen, CEO .
  • “Pretax operating income for the quarter… is approximately $46 million… Net income… approximately $35 million… fully diluted income per share… $0.49 per share. The company… had a cash balance of approximately $182 million and no debt.” – Daniel Luckshire, CFO .
  • “Our priority right now is to provide thorough science based responses to the [CHMP]… It remains the only antiviral approved in the EU for smallpox treatment, and it stands out for its strong safety profile.” – Diem Nguyen, CEO .

Q&A Highlights

  • Pediatric program deployment and trial design: Management plans to fund activities up to regulatory filing; next study will be a single-dose crossover evaluating a refined pediatric formulation and food effect to mirror adult exposure levels .
  • International outlook under CHMP referral: While the CHMP is reviewing mpox efficacy questions, management underscored the broader smallpox data package and safety profile; they continue to build international relationships and expect lumpiness in orders .
  • U.S. RFP timing and process: No specific timeline given; 2018 process took ~6 months from RFP to agreement as context; management is prepared for a range of processes (open competition or sole source) .
  • Early-stage mAb program: SIGA remains enthusiastic about fully human monoclonal antibodies for orthopoxviruses; working on development and manufacturing pathways; potential as monotherapy or in combination with TPOXX .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global consensus for Q2 2025 revenue and EPS was unavailable; as a result, beat/miss analysis relative to consensus is not provided for this quarter (values retrieved from S&P Global; consensus unavailable for Q2 2025).
  • Given the order-driven nature of SIGA’s revenue, Street models may need to incorporate: (i) fulfilled ~$70M of year-end USG orders in Q2; (ii) $26M IV order targeted for 2026; and (iii) incremental $27M BARDA development funding, which flows through R&D revenue not product sales .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • U.S. SNS shipments powered a high-quality revenue and earnings quarter; operating margin exceeded 50% on mix and scale .
  • U.S. government engagement remains a core driver: $27M added dev funding and discussions toward a new long-term framework suggest durable demand for both oral and IV formulations .
  • Near-term catalysts are operational (further deliveries, potential international orders) rather than guidance-based; revenue cadence will remain lumpy quarter-to-quarter .
  • Regulatory risk watch: CHMP referral introduces an EU overhang tied to mpox clinical data; management emphasizes strong smallpox safety/efficacy foundations and plans robust responses .
  • Pipeline execution steady: PEP sNDA remains on a 2026 timetable; pediatric IND on track for H2 2025, supported by new BARDA funding .
  • Capital return and liquidity are notable supports: $182.5M cash and $0.60 dividend paid bolster downside protection and strategic flexibility .
  • Trading lens: The narrative hinges on biodefense procurement visibility and EU regulatory developments; stock likely reacts to signs of U.S. RFP progress, international order wins, and clarity on the CHMP outcome .
