International sales are a key growth driver

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 estimates that another contract may be signed in a new jurisdiction in Q221. Uptake from Europe, Japan, South Korea and Australia could potentially lead to a meaningful market opportunity.

Cipla agreement provides upside

In March, SIGA announced a strategic partnership with Cipla Therapeutics in which SIGA will leverage its expertise in biodefense for the purpose of a US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) contract for Cipla’s novel antibiotic ZEMDRI, currently approved for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI). As a frame of reference, Paratek received a contract award from BARDA worth up to $285m in 2019 for the development of Nuzyra for pulmonary anthrax.

IV TPOXX NDA filed with the FDA

In April, SIGA announced it had filed an NDA with the FDA for the intravenous (IV) formulation of TPOXX. The IV version of TPOXX would be used to treat those who are either too sick or unable to swallow oral TPOXX capsules. A total of $85m of the 2018 BARDA contract is allocated for the procurement of 212,000 doses of an IV version of TPOXX.

Valuation: $957m or $12.58 per share

We adjusted our SIGA valuation to $957m or $12.58 per share, from $968m or $12.61 per share. The decline is due to lower net cash, mainly attributable to the stock buyback, while a lower number of outstanding shares mitigated the per-share decrease. SIGA has a $50m stock repurchase program in place (announced in Q120) and had bought $35m in total by the end of Q121 ($6.5m in Q121 alone).

Q1 update

SIGA recently reported Q121 results, which featured $3.4m of international revenue for the delivery of oral TPOXX to PHAC. This is a significant improvement over 2020 when the company reported approximately $2m in international sales. In April, the company delivered an additional $6.9m worth of oral TPOXX to the agency. Total revenues were $4.8m compared to $2.6m in the same quarter last year. 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, with many appointees yet to be confirmed.

Source: SIGA Technologies

Importantly the company announced on the Q121 earnings conference call that the company continues to work towards sales in one or more new jurisdictions, with the next sale estimated to occur by the end of June of this year. 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 will focus on key US allies, such as Europe, Australia, Japan and South Korea, and that SIGA will seek partnerships for other territories.

Also, in March, SIGA announced a strategic partnership with Cipla Therapeutics in which SIGA will leverage its expertise in biodefense for the purpose of a BARDA contract for Cipla’s novel antibiotic ZEMDRI, currently approved for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) caused by E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. mirabilis and E. cloacae and generally reserved as a last line of defense. The product was launched in 2018 and had approximately $38m in 2020 sales according to Evaluate Pharma. Financial terms of the agreement have not been disclosed nor the precise market opportunity. As a frame of reference, Paratek received a contract award from BARDA worth up to $285m in 2019 for the development of its novel antibiotic Nuzyra for pulmonary anthrax. Initial funding was approximately $59m for the development of Nuzyra and the purchase of 2,500 treatment courses to add to the strategic national stockpile (SNS). An additional $77m may be provided for FDA post-marketing requirements, $20m for manufacturing related requirements, $13m for the development of Nuzyra for prophylaxis and up to $115m for the additional purchase of 7,500 courses for the SNS. In over 10 years of partnerships with industry, BARDA has invested over $1.5bn in antibiotics.

Valuation

We have adjusted our valuation for SIGA to $957m or $12.58 per share, from $968m or $12.61 per share. The total valuation decline is due to lower net cash, mainly attributable to the stock buyback, while a lower number of outstanding shares mitigated the decline in the per-share value. Our valuation for SIGA may change in the future as additional international deals are announced and when we receive greater clarity on the Cipla partnership (such as timing and economic terms), which is not currently included in our valuation.

Financials

Following Q121 results, we have kept our forecasts for SIGA largely the same, though we did increase our SG&A estimate by $1.9m in 2021 and $2.0m in 2022, mainly due to a higher run rate. SIGA reported $106.5m in cash at the end of March and is profitable (although profitability for any specific period will depend on the timing of government orders and payments). SIGA also has a $50m stock-repurchase program in place (announced March 2020) and bought $35m of stock from March 2020 through the end of March 2021, including $6.5m in Q121.
