RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 28, 2024 (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 biologics, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2023 financial results and provided a business update.
“We are pleased with our 2023 performance, which marked first-time positive adjusted net income on a full year basis. This is a testament to the exponential revenue growth of our commercial specialty biologics product portfolio and effective fiscal and operational management. As ADMA’s forward-looking business trends gain momentum, we're revising financial guidance upwards for both 2024 and 2025, increasing top and bottom-line projections,” said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA. “We believe our growing commercial success will be sustained by the recent and continuous expansion of ASCENIV utilization. We believe our unwavering focus on the immune deficient patient segment has allowed ADMA to establish itself as a premier provider of specialty biologics. We are confident that there is significant growth for ASCENIV within its addressable market, further penetrating the treatment setting comprised of immune deficient patients grappling with complex comorbidities.”
Mr. Grossman continued, “In conjunction with the ongoing expansion of our commercial product portfolio, we look forward to advancing new growth initiatives, including innovations to ADMA’s manufacturing processes and potential yield enhancement, as well as progress with our preclinical S. pneumonia pipeline program. Based upon current market factors, we anticipate 2024 being defined by top-tier revenue and earnings growth, cash generation, and the further de-risking of growth initiatives which, if successful, we believe have the potential to significantly impact ADMA's peak revenue and earnings targets. We believe our proven internal R&D capabilities, broad intellectual property estate and successful establishment of our innovative commercial model position the Company for enduring success in the future.”

2024-2025 Financial Guidance:
Innovative Growth Opportunities: Below are the Company’s ongoing initiatives which, if successful, represent potential upside to newly provided guidance ranges:
Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results:
Total revenues were $73.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $50.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $23.9 million, or approximately 48%. The increase is primarily related to increased sales of our immunoglobulin products, partially offset by a planned decrease in sales of plasma to third parties due to the increasing retention of plasma for internal intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) production.
Adjusted EBITDA was $18.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $3.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter includes all non-GAAP reconciliation items, including stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization and interest expense totaling $10.1 million and loss on debt extinguishment of $26.2 million.
Net loss was $17.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $12.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
Adjusted net income was $8.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, accounting for the non-GAAP reconciliation of a $26.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt incurred during the period, compared to an Adjusted net loss of $12.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
Full Year 2023 Financial Results:
Total revenues were $258.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $154.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $104.1 million, or approximately 68%. The increase is primarily related to increased sales of our immunoglobulin products, partially offset by a planned decrease in sales of plasma to third parties due to the increasing retention of plasma for internal IVIG production.
Adjusted EBITDA was $40.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $27.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year includes all non-GAAP reconciliation items, including depreciation and amortization, interest expense, stock-based compensation, loss on debt extinguishment and costs related to the IT disruption.
Net loss was $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $65.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Adjusted net income was $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, accounting for the non-recurring costs related to the IT systems disruption totaling $2.8 million and the loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $26.2 million, as compared to Adjusted net loss of $59.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
As of December 31, 2023, ADMA had working capital of approximately $207.2 million, primarily consisting of $172.9 million of inventory, $51.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $27.4 million of net accounts receivable, partially offset by current liabilities of $49.8 million, as compared to working capital at December 31, 2022 of $231.1 million, primarily consisting of $163.3 million of inventory, $86.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and $15.5 million of net accounts receivable, partially offset by current liabilities of $39.3 million.

About ASCENIV™
ASCENIV (immune globulin intravenous, human – slra 10% liquid) is a plasma-derived, polyclonal, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG). ASCENIV was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2019 and is indicated for the treatment of primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI), also known as primary immune deficiency disease (PIDD), in adults and adolescents (12 to 17 years of age). ASCENIV is manufactured using ADMA’s unique, patented plasma donor screening methodology and tailored plasma pooling design, which blends normal source plasma and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) plasma obtained from donors tested using the Company’s proprietary microneutralization assay. ASCENIV contains naturally occurring polyclonal antibodies, which are proteins that are used by the body’s immune system to neutralize microbes, such as bacteria and viruses and prevent against infection and disease. ASCENIV is protected by U.S. Patents: 9,107,906, 9,714,283 and 9,815,886. Certain data and other information about ASCENIV can be found by visiting www.asceniv.com. Information about ADMA and its products can be found on the Company’s website at www.admabiologics.com.
Additional Important Safety Information About ASCENIV™
WARNING: THROMBOSIS, RENAL DYSFUNCTION AND ACUTE RENAL FAILURE |
Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) products, including ASCENIV. Risk factors may include: advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Renal dysfunction, acute renal failure, osmotic nephrosis, and death may occur with the administration of IGIV products in predisposed patients. Renal dysfunction and acute renal failure occur more commonly in patients receiving IGIV products containing sucrose. ASCENIV does not contain sucrose. For patients at risk of thrombosis, renal dysfunction or renal failure, administer ASCENIV at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity. |
ASCENIV™ Contraindications:
History of anaphylactic or severe systemic reactions to human immunoglobulin.
IgA deficient patients with antibodies to IgA and a history of hypersensitivity.
ASCENIV™ Warnings and Precautions:
IgA-deficient patients with antibodies against IgA are at greater risk of developing severe hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions. Have medications such as epinephrine available to treat any acute severe hypersensitivity reactions. [4, 5.1]
Thrombotic events have occurred in patients receiving IGIV treatments. Monitor patients with known risk factors for thrombotic events; consider baseline assessment of blood viscosity for patients at risk of hyperviscosity. [5.2, 5.4]
In patients at risk of developing acute renal failure. monitor renal function, including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, and urine output. [5.3, 5.9]
Hyperproteinemia, increased serum viscosity, and hyponatremia or pseudohyponatremia can occur in patients receiving IGIV treatment.
Aseptic meningitis syndrome (AMS) has been reported with IGIV treatments, especially with high doses or rapid infusion. [5.5]
Hemolytic anemia can develop subsequent to IGIV treatment. Monitor patients for hemolysis and hemolytic anemia. [5.6]
Monitor patients for pulmonary adverse reactions (Transfusion-related acute lung injury [TRALI]). If transfusion related acute lung injury is suspected, test the product and patient for antineutrophil antibodies. [5.7]
Because this product is made from human blood, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses, and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent.
ASCENIV™ Adverse Reactions:
The most common adverse reactions to ASCENIV (≥5% of study subjects) were headache, sinusitis, diarrhea, gastroenteritis viral, nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, and nausea

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) and Adjusted net income/(loss) are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) and Adjusted net income/(loss) as key performance measures because we believe that they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period that exclude potential differences driven by the impact of variations of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, as well as, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, stock-based compensation or certain non-recurring items, and in the case of Adjusted net income, certain non-recurring items. The Company believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools used by our management and board of directors to assess our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) and Adjusted net income/(loss) should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) and Adjusted net income/(loss) are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. Accordingly, these key business metrics have limitations as an analytical tool. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income/loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Please refer to the tables below for the reconciliation of GAAP measures to these non-GAAP measures for applicable periods.
