Analysis · SIGA · Life Sciences
SIGA's second-quarter revenue fell 49% to $41 million as the massive 19C BARDA contract neared completion. Net income dropped to $12.5 million from $35.5 million a year ago. Cash declined to $117.6 million after paying a $43.3 million special dividend. The company disclosed it is forecasting full-year losses based on orders received to date, signaling a sharp post-contract revenue cliff. International sales provided a partial offset at $13 million, and the EMA finalized the removal of the mpox indication for TPOXX. The BARDA contract, which has driven nearly all historical revenue, is now substantially delivered, leaving SIGA reliant on uncertain new government orders and nascent international markets.
