Conference Call Scheduled for Today at 4:30 p.m. ET

RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADMA Biologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMA) (“ADMA” or the “Company”), an end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing, and developing specialty plasma-derived biologics, today announced its third quarter 2022 financial results and provided a business update.

“We are pleased to again be raising revenue guidance for full-year 2022; the Company now expects to generate total revenue of approximately $145 million, increased from $130 million as previously provided. We believe that the third quarter revenue growth of 99% year-over-year establishes a strong foundation from which ADMA will continue to generate substantial revenue growth and improve margins as we accelerate towards corporate profitability,” said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA.

Mr. Grossman continued, “Enabled by this continued revenue growth, we opportunistically undertook several investments during the quarter which we believe will strengthen commercial initiatives, advance growth opportunities and enhance margins moving forward. Research and development expenditures increased due to accelerated enrollment of the post-marketing clinical study for BIVIGAM. We believe the rapid pace of enrollment and investigator excitement speaks to the reputation ADMA and its products have established in the market. Additionally, during the quarter, we mobilized a robust medical education and conference symposia strategy which is anticipated to solidify ASCENIV’s growth outlook and further expand the product’s growing customer base to areas not yet penetrated.”

"While we are pleased with our reported gross profit expansion, it is important to note that a substantial portion of BIVIGAM revenues during the third quarter consisted of legacy 2,200-liter scale product, which yields a significantly lower margin compared to the current 4,400-liter batch production scale,” said Brian Lenz, ADMA’s Chief Financial Officer, and General Manager, ADMA BioCenters. “BIVIGAM inventory at the 2,200-liter scale sold during this quarter was produced during 2021, prior to the Company receiving FDA approval of the 4,400L-liter scale production. Encouragingly, ADMA has been exclusively producing BIVIGAM at the 4,400-liter scale since the second half of 2021. The residual, lower margin inventory produced at the 2,200-liter scale is anticipated to be fully exhausted over the coming quarters and once sold, we believe our profit margins will substantially improve.”

Mr. Grossman concluded, “As we look to 2023, we believe ADMA is well-positioned in its advancement towards profitability. The immunoglobulin (“IG”) end market remains one of the fastest growing segments in the pharmaceutical sector, and we are proud to have clearly demonstrated ADMA’s staying power within this landscape. The pieces are in place for ADMA to sustain its best-in-class revenue growth profile and deliver on our longstanding commitment of reaching profitability as rapidly as possible.”

Third Quarter 2022 and Recent Achievements:

  • Significant Revenue Growth: Achieved third quarter 2022 total revenues of $41.1 million, as compared to $20.7 million during the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $20.4 million, or approximately 99%.

  • Operating Leverage Materializing.   Excluding the impact associated with the sale of lower margin, 2,200-liter scale BIVIGAM, the Company estimates corporate gross margins for the third quarter would have been approximately 2-4% higher compared to reported results, translating to an approximate 26-28% corporate gross margin in a normalized quarter. As the Company has been exclusively producing BIVIGAM at the expanded 4,400-liter scale since the second half of 2021 and considering the record high BIVIGAM product pull-through realized during the third quarter of 2022, ADMA anticipates this lower margin inventory will be fully monetized over the coming periods. ADMA anticipates further margin enhancements as product throughput transitions throughout the first half of 2023 to exclusively the higher margin 4,400-liter scale product.  
    • Accounting for the transient gross margin dynamics amounting to approximately $1.3 million at the midpoint, in addition to approximately $1 million in non-recurring operating expenditures incurred during the quarter, the Company estimates third quarter operating loss would have been approximately $7 million, the equivalent of approximately 50% less than the prior year’s third quarter.

  • Product Mix Continues to Favorably Evolve: ASCENIV’s prescriber and patient base continued to expand during the third quarter, which drove record utilization and pull-through for the product. These elevated demand trends have sustained into the fourth quarter, and we expect that the product’s rapid growth will continue into 2023 and beyond.

  • Newly Identified Growth Opportunities: Strong reception to ADMA’s medical education and scientific symposia strategy is anticipated to catalyze penetration into additional targeted growth opportunities. During the third quarter, ADMA expanded educational initiatives on identifying clinical needs in managing respiratory infections in the immunocompromised host, specifically:
    • Case study presentations by nationally recognized clinical experts in areas of transplantation, infectious disease, and immunology at national and regional medical meetings (i.e., Immune Globulin National Society, Infectious Disease Week, and Florida Allergy Asthma & Immunology Society).
    • Full-capacity attendance of symposia discussions of real-world experience of ASCENIV in patients with primary immunodeficiency (“PI”).
    • The ongoing post-marketing clinical studies may provide for label expansion opportunities for both BIVIGAM and ASCENIV to include pediatric-aged PI patients as well as additional publications supporting product safety.

  • Advancing Toward Profitability: The Company maintains and reiterates its previously provided profitability timeline, which is expected no later than the first quarter of 2024, while taking into account current macroeconomic uncertainties. However, should current demand trends and margin dynamics sustain, accelerated profitability timelines may be achievable.

  • On-Track BioCenters Expansion: The Company’s BioCenters segment has ten plasma collection centers under its corporate umbrella: seven centers are United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-licensed, two additional centers are operational and collecting plasma presently under FDA licensing preparation and review and one center is in the construction phase. The Company remains on track to have ten BioCenters FDA-licensed by year-end 2023 and, in the same period, forecasts raw material plasma supply self-sufficiency. ADMA anticipates its strong plasma supply position will support its upwardly revised production and revenue forecasts.

  • Ongoing Strategic Review. ADMA continues to evaluate a variety of strategic alternatives through its ongoing engagement with Morgan Stanley. The Company will communicate material developments as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The exploration of value-creating opportunities remains a top corporate priority for ADMA.

2022 & Long-Term Financial Guidance:

  • 2022 Financial Guidance: Enabled by the strong year-to-date execution, ADMA anticipates total 2022 revenues will reach approximately $145 million. ADMA reiterates expectations for continued gross profit expansion and narrowing net losses into 2023.

  • 2024-2025 Financial Guidance: The Company continues to anticipate generating approximately $250 million or more in revenue in 2024, and approximately $300 million or more thereafter. At these revenue levels, and based upon current assumptions, ADMA continues to forecast achieving corporate gross margins in the range of 40-50% and net income margins in the range of 20-30%. These assumptions translate to potential annual gross profit and net income in the range of $100-150 million and $50-100 million, respectively, during the 2024-2025 time period and beyond.

Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results:

Total revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022 were $41.1 million, as compared to $20.7 million during the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $20.4 million, or approximately 99%. The revenue growth for the third quarter of 2022, compared to the third quarter of 2021, was favorably impacted by the continued commercial ramp-up of the Company’s intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) product portfolio and expanding the customer base for BIVIGAM and ASCENIV.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $9.7 million, compared to gross profit of $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2021. Gross profit growth during the third quarter was driven by a favorable contribution from ASCENIV. Partially offsetting the favorably evolving product mix, ADMA sold a material amount of the remaining 2,200-liter scale, lower margin BIVIGAM product during the third quarter of 2022. Moving forward, this lower margin inventory is anticipated to be exhausted over the coming quarters, after which production throughput and sales recognition is anticipated to be confined exclusively to the higher margin 4,400-liter BIVIGAM product.  

Consolidated net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $14.9 million, or $(0.08) per basic and diluted share, compared to a consolidated net loss of $17.7 million, or $(0.13) per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Net loss decreased by approximately $2.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily attributed to higher gross profit of $9.3 million, partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in interest expense as a result of additional debt principal as well as rising interest rates. Additional offsets during the third quarter of 2022 included increased plasma center operating expenses of $1.7 million attributed to having nine plasma centers in operation compared to five operating centers during the same period last year, as well as increased general and administrative expenses of $2.2 million resulting from increased headcount, commercialization, and marketing expenditures.

As of September 30, 2022, ADMA had working capital of approximately $179.7 million, primarily consisting of $162.9 million of inventory, $34.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and net accounts receivable of $20.9 million, partially offset by an aggregate of $43.6 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses.
