    Management to Host Conference Call and Webcast Today at 4:30 p.m. ET

    RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, Fla., March 25, 2021 (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 reported financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020 and provided an overview of recent progress and accomplishments.

    “In a year full of unprecedented health and economic challenges due to the pandemic, the ADMA team’s unwavering commitment produced remarkable achievements across all our business segments,” said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA Biologics. “Operationally, while enacting all the medically recommended COVID-19 safeguards to protect our patients, employees and customers, we successfully expanded our plasma collection center network ahead of schedule and delivered on all of our manufacturing and regulatory objectives as a part of our supply chain enhancement initiatives. We generated record revenues of $42.2 million despite COVID-19 headwinds, and because of our strong commercial execution, we confidently provided first-time peak annual revenue guidance of $250 million or greater expected to be achieved in 2024 and additionally committed to reaching profitability no later than the first quarter of 2024.”

    “On the financial front, we substantially strengthened our balance sheet with year-end 2020 assets totaling $207.7 million, significantly growing inventories to a year-end balance of $81.5 million as well as increasing accounts receivable and investments in property, plant and equipment. We look forward to continuing to deliver quarter-over-quarter revenue growth and execute on our strategy during 2021, building on the momentum created by 2020’s achievements across all of our business segments,” concluded Mr. Grossman.

    Select 2020 Achievements & Recent Corporate Developments:

    • Executed Commercially with Significant Year-Over-Year Revenue Growth. Achieved full year 2020 total revenues of $42.2 million, compared to $29.3 million for the full year 2019, reflecting a substantial 44% increase. Achieved fourth quarter 2020 total revenues of $14.0 million, compared to $12.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, representing an approximately 16% increase. 

    • Substantially Increased Inventory Levels. Grew inventories to a year-end 2020 balance of $81.5 million compared to $53.1 million at year-end 2019, which we regard as a solid basis to support our anticipated quarter-over-quarter revenue growth in 2021 and beyond. This inventory consists of raw materials, including source plasma, work-in-process and finished goods.

    • Refinanced Senior Secured Term Loan. Refinanced senior secured term loan with Perceptive Advisors, which among other things, lowered the effective cost of capital, consolidated ADMA’s long-term debt and provided for a two-year extension of the interest-only period through March 2024, which we believe will allow ADMA to reach profitability prior to maturity.

    • Expanded Plasma Collection Center Network. With the approval of another plasma collection facility in early February, ADMA now has seven plasma collection facilities under its corporate umbrella at various stages of development and approval, including one facility pending Biologics License Application (“BLA”) approval in the second half of this year, and two additional plasma collection centers which we intend to open and file BLAs during 2021. Accordingly, we have revised our previous guidance from building 5-10 plasma collection facilities by 2024 to our current expectation of having 10 or more plasma collection facilities in operation by 2024.

    • Advanced Supply Chain Enhancement Initiatives. We remain on track to receive potential United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval decisions mid-year for our Intravenous Immune Globulin (“IVIG”) increased production capacity scale, as well as our in-house Vanrx aseptic fill-finish machine. Upon FDA approval, ADMA expects to realize significant operating efficiencies and improved gross margins beginning potentially as early as mid-2021, which will ultimately support durable profitability and a fully vertically integrated value chain.

    • Strengthened ASCENIV’s Coverage and Patient Access. Secured a permanent J-code, to be effective April 1, 2021, which will provide for a streamlined and permanent reimbursement process in outpatient treatment settings.

    • Continued Medical Community Engagement. At the recent American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Conference (“AAAAI”), ADMA presented a late-breaking abstract detailing data that underscore the exciting prospect of bridging vaccination and protective seroconversion with a targeted, plasma-derived hyperimmune anti S. pneumonia globulin to ensure protection against infection for at-risk patients in the hospital and outpatient settings. Our existing intellectual property portfolio includes issued patents on the composition of matter and methods of use for producing a standardized hyperimmune globulin targeted to the most common 23 serotypes of S. pneumoniae bacteria. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our pipeline and future product offerings to maximize value for our shareholders.

    • Received Several Industry Awards.   Our organization’s 2020 achievements were recognized in the form of several third-party accolades, including receiving the BioNJ Innovator of the Year Award, being included on the Deloitte Fast 500 List as well as in 2021 our CEO being voted a Top 10 Biotech Executive by Healthcare Technology Report.

    Fourth Quarter 2020 Financial Results

    Total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 were $14.0 million, compared to $12.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, representing an increase of approximately $2.0 million, or approximately 16%. The revenue growth for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, was favorably impacted by the continued commercial ramp up of our IVIG product portfolio.

    Consolidated net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $19.4 million, or $(0.20) per basic and diluted share, compared to a consolidated net loss of $10.6 million, or $(0.18) per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019. The $8.8 million increase in net loss compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to increased cost of product revenue of $7.4 million; increases in selling, general and administrative expenses of $2.3 million related to employee compensation, new hires along with other costs to support the commercialization efforts for BIVIGAM® and ASCENIV™ and a $0.5 million increase in research and development expenses mainly related to increased costs associated with clinical studies. The increased net loss additionally includes $1.1 million in higher plasma center operating expenses due to the opening of additional plasma centers during 2020. Included in the net loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 were non-cash expenses of approximately $2.4 million for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash interest expense.

    Full Year 2020 Financial Results

    Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $42.2 million, compared to $29.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, representing an increase of $12.9 million, or 44%. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased sales of our IVIG products portfolio offset by lower plasma collection revenues.

    Consolidated net loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 was approximately $75.7 million, or $(0.88) per basic and diluted share, compared to a consolidated net loss of $48.3 million, or $(0.89) per basic and diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in net loss of approximately $27.4 million was primarily attributable to a $21.8 million increase in cost of product revenue, which reflects the increase in sales volume as well as $7.5 million of non-recurring production charges incurred for the manufacturing of BIVIGAM conformance lots at an increased plasma pool production scale in connection with our planned capacity expansion. The increase in net loss in 2020 was also attributable to increased selling, general administrative expenses of approximately $9.1 million related to the overall growth in the size and scope of the Company’s operations, including the commercialization efforts of BIVIGAM® and ASCENIV™; a $3.6 million increase in research and development expenses associated with the validation for a capacity expansion of a new filling line and increases in various clinical research activities, some of which are required by the FDA. Included in the net loss for the year ended 2020 were non-cash expenses of $8.6 million for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization and non-cash interest expense.

    At December 31, 2020, ADMA had cash and cash equivalents of $55.9 million and accounts receivable of $13.2 million, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $26.8 million and accounts receivable of $3.5 million at December 31, 2019. ADMA’s net working capital as of December 31, 2020 was $133.8 million, compared to $71.8 million as of December 31, 2019.
