Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 6, 2015, Emergent announced financial and operating results for the period ended June 30, 2015. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
On August 6, 2015, Emergent issued a press release announcing its plan to pursue a tax-free spin-off of the company's biosciences business into a separate, stand-alone publicly-traded company. For the benefit of its investors, Emergent is furnishing additional financial information regarding the estimated pro forma incremental EBITDA for 2014 associated with the spin-off.
Using information from audited consolidated financial results from 2014, Emergent estimates a net increase in its 2014 EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) of between $40 million and $50 million, as a result of estimated pro forma adjustments related to the spin-off.  This calculation takes into account the following items related to the biosciences business:
·
costs associated with the Seattle, Washington site;
·
costs associated with the Berwyn, Pennsylvania site;
·
costs associated with research and development conducted on biosciences-related programs at the Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada site; and
·
product sales revenue and associated gross margin contribution related to the biosciences commercial products.
The estimated pro forma incremental EBITDA for Emergent excludes the impact of the $15.6 million in-license fee revenue associated with a one-time upfront payment received in 2014 resulting from the collaboration with MorphoSys AG focused on the MOR209/ES414 immuno-oncology product development candidate targeting mCRPC.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
