Deals & partnerships

HCMA MENA FCE Exclusive license and distribution agreement for TPOX in the MENA region

HCMA holds the right to register and commercialize TPOX across the Middle East and North Africa. SIGA and HCMA are developing a detailed plan to expand TPOX's presence in these markets where SIGA has been historically underrepresented. HCMA's regional presence and expertise are key to expanding access to TPOX in these markets. The agreement was recently entered into, and meetings are ongoing to develop a detailed plan for expansion. The quote is: "we recently entered into an exclusive license and distribution agreement with HCMA MENA FCE in connection with the MENA region. which includes countries in the Middle East and North Africa."

Q&A highlights

Why is the US RFP delayed, is a H2 award possible, and will it support 2027 deliveries?

The delay is attributed to changes within HHS, new initiatives, evolving priorities, contract transition, and open leadership positions. Management believes TPOX's role in US preparedness is strong, but did not confirm H2 award or 2027 delivery timing for the US contract.

“We believe the scale of change within HHS, including new initiatives, evolving priorities, transition of our contract from BARDA to S&S, and also key open leadership positions have been a meaningful contributor to the slower pace toward this new contract.”

Detailed narrative

U.S. Government Engagement and Contract Status

SIGA completed the final $24 million IV TPOX delivery under its 19C contract to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile. The company is actively engaging with the U.S. government for a new multi-year procurement contract, though the process has been slower than anticipated due to changes within HHS and leadership vacancies. Management remains confident in TPOX's role in U.S. smallpox preparedness, citing ongoing funding for development programs.

International Market Expansion

International sales contributed $13 million in Q2 FY26, including an order from the Asia Pacific region and a new European customer. SIGA recently entered an exclusive license and distribution agreement with HCMA MENA FCE to expand TPOX's footprint across the Middle East and North Africa, leveraging HCMA's regional expertise. The company is targeting a new international contract and delivery by March of next year.

Pipeline Advancement

SIGA is progressing its post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and pediatric programs. For the PEP program, an FDA submission is targeted for the first half of 2027, following CDC's work on immunogenicity samples. Phase one study results for the pediatric program, which aims to provide a purpose-built liquid formulation for children, are expected by year-end 2026.

Financial Performance and Balance Sheet

The company reported $38 million in product-related revenues for Q2 FY26, contributing to $41 million for the first six months of 2026. Research and development revenues were $3 million for the quarter. SIGA maintains a strong balance sheet with approximately $118 million in cash and no debt as of June 30, 2026, supporting financial and operational discipline.

Strategic Focus on Preparedness

SIGA emphasizes the enduring need for governments to invest in medical countermeasure stockpiles against biological threats like smallpox. The company positions TPOX for rapid, large-scale deployment and believes its diversified sales across formulations and customers demonstrate its critical role in global preparedness strategies.
