What Emergent BioSolutions Inc. reported on August 5, 2026

The quarter ending June 30, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“Emergent delivered a strong second quarter, significantly exceeding the high end of our guidance range with revenues of $234 million, primarily driven by accelerated MCM/biodefense contract modifications secured with the U.S. government. This performance reflects the focus, discipline and commitment of our teams, and it reinforces the strength of our mission, our portfolio and the steadiness of our multi-year plan toward transformation,”
