SIGA Technologies — Q221 results

SIGA recently reported Q221 results, which featured $6.9m of revenue for the delivery of oral TPOXX to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). SIGA continues to work towards finalizing an order from an additional jurisdiction though timing is unknown due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has indicated that the size of this order would be similar to the initial orders received from Canada in 2020 and early 2021 (approximately $2.3m in 2020 and $3.4m in Q121).

Additional international sales order in the works

SIGA is partnered with Meridian Medical Technologies, a Pfizer subsidiary focused on health security, for the international marketing of TPOXX. So far two separate contracts with the Canadian government for the delivery of up to $47m worth (combined) of TPOXX have been signed and the companies are working on other markets. SIGA is currently working on an order from an additional jurisdiction though precise timing is unknown due to COVID-19.

Monkeypox outbreak highlights the need for TPOXX

Three members of one family were diagnosed with monkeypox in the United Kingdom in May and June. Subsequently, a case was diagnosed in the United States in July and made headlines as 200 people were subsequently being monitored for monkeypox (no additional infections have been identified). The source of both outbreaks was Nigeria. SIGA has indicated that the monkeypox outbreak has highlighted the need for national stockpiles among various governments for treatments for orthopoxviruses.

Additional $50m stock repurchase plan

The company has announced an additional $50m stock repurchase plan, which will come into effect once the current $50m stock repurchase plan either expires (as it is scheduled to at the end of 2021) or is exhausted (approximately $42m has been repurchased to date). The new plan would expire at the end of 2023.

Valuation: $949m or $12.65 per share

We have adjusted our SIGA valuation from $957m or $12.58 per share to $949m or $12.65 per share. The decline in the total valuation is due to lower net cash, mainly attributable to the stock buyback, while a lower number of outstanding shares has increased the per-share valuation.

Waiting on US deliveries

SIGA recently reported Q221 results, which featured $6.9m of international revenue for the delivery of oral TPOXX to Canada to PHAC. Total revenues were $8.7m for the quarter. We reiterate the timing of TPOXX deliveries can fluctuate significantly, which has created volatility and lumpiness with SIGA’s revenues in the past. The company continues to expect that US deliveries will be concentrated in the second half of the year due to government procurement and budget schedules as well as due to a new administration, as new political appointments take time to appoint and confirm. On a positive note, the key role of assistant secretary of preparedness and response (ASPR) has been filled with the swearing in of Dawn O’Connell at the end of June following her Senate confirmation on 24 June. With this position now filled the company expects to see some movement on US deliveries.

The company is continuing to work towards sales in additional jurisdictions with an order currently being finalized, though precise timing is uncertain. SIGA is partnered with Meridian Medical Technologies, a Pfizer subsidiary focused on health security with a 50-year history of selling medical countermeasures globally, for the marketing of TPOXX outside the US. Other products marketed by Meridian include an antidote treatment for organophosphorus nerve agents such as Sarin and VX, and a treatment for cyanide poisoning, among others.

So far two separate contracts with the Canadian government for the delivery of up to $47m (both contracts combined) worth of TPOXX have been signed and the companies are working on other markets. We believe SIGA and Meridian are focusing on key US allies, such as Europe, Australia, Japan and South Korea, and that SIGA will seek partnerships for other territories. The company has stated that once EMA approval is obtained (currently expected at the end of 2021 or in early 2022), sales discussions t7yEuropean jurisdictions may accelerate.

SIGA has stated that the recent monkeypox cases in the US and UK have highlighted the need for national stockpiles to treat orthopoxviruses. Three members of one family were diagnosed with monkeypox in the United Kingdom in May and June. Subsequently, a case was diagnosed in the United States in July (the first in the United States since 2003) and made headlines as 200 people were subsequently being monitored for monkeypox (no additional infections have been identified). The source of both outbreaks was Nigeria where the most recent outbreak started in 2017. According to the World Health Organization, nine other central and west African nations have reported outbreaks since 1970. In 2020, 6,200 suspected cases were reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo. As a reminder, TPOXX is approved for the treatment of smallpox in the United States but does show efficacy against other orthopoxviruses like monkeypox. Three of the pivotal trials used for TPOXX approval investigated the treatment of monkeypox in cynomolgus macaques. Also, TPOXX was recently used on a compassionate use basis to treat one of the patients with monkeypox in the UK. Additionally, in July, the company announced a collaboration with Oxford University to treat monkeypox in the Central African Republic.

Financials

Following Q221 results, we have kept our forecasts for SIGA largely the same, though we did increase our SG&A estimate by $1.1m in 2021 and $1.2m in 2022, mainly due to a higher run rate. SIGA reported $98.5m in cash at the end of June and is profitable (although profitability for any specific period will depend on the timing of government orders and payments).

SIGA is currently working through a $50m stock repurchase program ,which was announced in March 2020 and runs through the end of 2021. So far, 6.5m shares have been repurchased for approximately $42m, including $6.5m in Q221. The company has announced an additional $50m share repurchase program, which will run through the end of 2023. Shares under the new plan can be repurchased once the current plan either expires or once the maximum amount has been utilized.
