Emergent will continue to focus on its core products business – medical countermeasures and NARCAN® Nasal Spray –and on delivering for its patients and customers, including the U.S. and allied governments. These strategic actions will lead to a reduction of approximately 300 employees across all areas of the company, and the elimination of approximately 85 positions that are currently vacant. In combination with other rationalizing initiatives, these actions are expected to result in annualized savings of approximately $80 million when fully implemented. The costs associated with the restructuring plan are estimated to be approximately $18 million - $21 million and are expected to be primarily incurred in the second half of 2024. "Today’s actions are about the future of Emergent,” said CEO Joe Papa. “We have put in place a multi-year plan to position Emergent for sustainable and long-term success, and that starts by stabilizing our operations, strengthening our balance sheet and managing our debt.” Papa continued, “Decisions like these are never easy as they have real impact on many of our dedicated colleagues. We are committed to providing resources to those affected as they transition to new opportunities.” As part of the operational changes, Emergent will shut down both its Baltimore-Bayview Drug Substance manufacturing facility and Rockville, Maryland Drug Product facility. Emergent will concentrate operations at sites in Winnipeg, Canada, and Lansing, Michigan, while the company actively explores strategic alternatives for its other sites throughout the year. "Our colleagues have demonstrated a tremendous commitment to Emergent’s mission and ongoing resilience to change,” stated Michelle Pepin, SVP and chief human resources officer. “We will work with those impacted and support them through this difficult time.” As part of the reorganization, a new Chief Science Officer role has been created and added to the executive management team, reporting to Papa. Emergent will report its first quarter 2024 financial results today and will host a conference call at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time to discuss this business update, Q1 2024 financial review, as well as FY 2024 and Q2 2024 guidance. In addition, a press release announcing an amendment to Emergent’s credit facility was also recently filed. About Emergent BioSolutions At Emergent, our mission is to protect and enhance life.
