GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (NYSE: EBS) today announced it has secured new purchase orders from an international government partner for a multi-product supply agreement valued at $29 million (USD). The orders span several product offerings within Emergent’s medical countermeasures (MCM) business, including countermeasures for smallpox, anthrax and botulism threats, and reflects the increasing priority governments are placing on defense and preparedness. This is the second procurement made this year by the same government. Emergent will receive approximately $26 million in 2025, which is in addition to the more than $100 million in sales already generated year to date for its MCM portfolio outside of the U.S.

“In an increasingly dangerous world, we continue to see countries elevating their investment in defense preparedness, and these orders represent an important international partnership that taps into several key medical countermeasures across our portfolio to help address multiple threat segments,” said Joe Papa, president and CEO of Emergent. “Together with demand from the U.S. government, these international procurements reinforce the potential for our growth trajectory as part of Emergent’s multi-year transformation plan and highlights the strength of Emergent’s global footprint.”

Emergent specializes in developing, manufacturing and supplying MCMs for national security and public health preparedness. These products support how governments respond to emergencies and help protect the public from potential threats. The types and quantities of products that should be maintained in a stockpile will depend on the population requiring protection, the products available for meeting the potential threat, as well as government resources and priorities.

Recent commitments by NATO members to raise defense expenditures to five percent from two percent of GDP across a multitude of areas, coupled with the increase in focus and demand outside the U.S., experienced by Emergent’s MCM business, further supports the Company’s international expansion.
