Key Activity:
In 2024, SIGA reported $133 million of product sales, including: approximately $100 million of product sales of oral and IV TPOXX to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile (SNS), of which approximately $60 million was recognized as revenue in the fourth quarter; approximately $10 million of product sales of oral and IV TPOXX to the U.S. Department of Defense, of which approximately $9 million was recognized in the fourth quarter; and approximately $23 million of international sales, of which approximately $11 million was recognized in the fourth quarter.
Highlighting the diversity of the Company’s revenue base, the Company has received procurement orders for oral TPOXX from 30 countries over the past three years, with international sales to 13 countries in 2024. As an example of the continuing diversification trend, in October 2024, the Company announced its first sale of TPOXX (tecovirimat) in Africa, made in response to a request from the Ministry of Health in Morocco.
In January 2025, the Company announced that TPOXX received regulatory approval in Japan (as TEPOXX) for the treatment of smallpox, mpox, cowpox, as well as complications following smallpox vaccination in adults and pediatric patients weighing at least 13 kg. TEPOXX is the first antiviral therapy approved by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PDMA), in collaboration with the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, for the treatment of orthopoxviruses.
