ADMA Biologics Reports Second Quarter 2018 Financial Results

 

Key Regulatory & Manufacturing Milestones Achieved

 

RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, FL., – August 10, 2018 – ADMA Biologics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADMA) (“ADMA” or the “Company”) today announced its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and provided an update on its operations and corporate objectives.

 

“During the quarter we strengthened our balance sheet by completing a $46 million financing with well-known healthcare institutions and insider participation. This financing, coupled with our previously existing cash balance, provides funding for ADMA through several key regulatory and commercial milestones. We are pleased with our quarter-over-quarter revenue growth attributed to the commercial assets that we received as part of the Biotest Therapy Business Unit (“BTBU”) transaction in June 2017,” stated Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA.

 

“Since announcing the successful close-out of our April 2018 U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) compliance inspection, we are now preparing for the resubmission of our Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for RI-002 in the near term. During the first half of 2018, we achieved an important corporate objective of submitting our Prior Approval Supplement (“PAS”) for BIVIGAM®, which is currently under review by the FDA, with a target action date of October 25, 2018 under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”). We look forward to what the second half of 2018 can bring to ADMA and its stockholders with several meaningful value-creating regulatory and commercial milestones anticipated, as well as the potential FDA approval of our third plasma center by year-end,” concluded Mr. Grossman.

 

2018 & 2019 Anticipated Goals and Milestones

 

·Respond to Complete Response Letter and Resubmit BLA for RI-002

 

·BIVIGAM® PDUFA target action date; October 25, 2018 followed by resumption of commercial sales upon positive regulatory outcome

 

·Obtain FDA approval for 3rd plasma collection center

 

·RI-002 PDUFA with initial commercial sales

 

·Commercial and promotional launch for RI-002

 

·Expand promotional activities for Nabi-HB®

 

 

Financial Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

 

ADMA reported total revenues of $4.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $3.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, representing an increase of $1.3 million, or approximately 37%. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the accretive nature of assets and commercial product rights acquired in the BTBU transaction, which was completed in June 2017.

 

The consolidated net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 was $14.7 million, or $(0.35) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $9.0 million, or $(0.55) per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net loss of $5.7 million was primarily attributable to increased cost of product revenue of $5.3 million, which reflected an increase in unabsorbed manufacturing costs at our plasma fractionation facility acquired in the BTBU transaction (the “Boca Facility”), and an increase in cost of product revenue related to the sales and production of Nabi-HB®, among other product revenue related costs. Other costs attributable to the increased net loss include higher employee related costs of approximately $1.5 million as part of the BTBU transaction, an increase in interest expense of $0.7 million and an increase in insurance expense of $0.4 million, partially offset by $1.2 million of non-recurring BTBU transaction costs in 2017 and the increase in revenues in 2018. Included in the net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 were non-cash expenses of approximately $1.6 million for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash interest expense.

 

Financial Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

 

ADMA reported total revenues of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, representing an increase of $2.7 million, or approximately 44%. The increase in revenues was attributable to the assets acquired in the BTBU transaction, partially offset by lower revenues from our ADMA BioCenters plasma collection business segment due to increased competition from other plasma centers.

 

The consolidated net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $32.6 million, or $(0.74) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $15.6 million, or $(1.06) per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net loss of $17.0 million was primarily attributable to increased product revenue costs of $15.9 million, primarily comprised of an increase in unabsorbed manufacturing costs at the Boca Facility and conformance lot production of RI-002 and BIVIGAM®, among other product revenue related costs. Other costs attributable to the increased net loss include higher employee related costs of approximately $3.2 million as part of the BTBU transaction, increases in other expenses associated with the Boca Facility of $1.8 million and an increase in interest expense of $1.4 million, partially offset by $3.8 million of non-recurring BTBU transaction costs in 2017 and the increase in revenues in 2018. Included in the net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 were non-cash expenses of $3.2 million for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash interest expense.

 

At June 30, 2018, ADMA had cash and cash equivalents of $55.2 million, as compared to $43.1 million at December 31, 2017. ADMA’s net working capital as of June 30, 2018 was $66.7 million, as compared to $53.7 million as of December 31, 2017. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of its common stock and received net proceeds of $42.9 million.

 

 

About ADMA Biologics, Inc. (ADMA) 

 

ADMA Biologics is a vertically integrated commercial biopharmaceutical company that manufactures, markets and develops specialty plasma-based biologics for the treatment of Primary Immune Deficiency Disease (“PIDD”) and the prevention and treatment of certain infectious diseases. ADMA's mission is to develop and commercialize plasma-derived, human immune globulins targeted to niche patient populations for the treatment and prevention of certain infectious diseases. The target patient populations include immune-compromised individuals who suffer from an underlying immune deficiency disease, or who may be immune-compromised for other medical reasons. ADMA has received U.S. Patents 9,107,906, 9,714,283, 9,815,886 and 9,969,793 related to certain aspects of its lead product candidate, RI-002.

About BIVIGAM®

 

BIVIGAM® is an intravenous immune globulin indicated for the treatment of primary humoral immunodeficiency. This includes, but is not limited to, agammaglobulinemia, common variable immunodeficiency, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and severe combined immunodeficiency. These primary immunodeficiencies (“PI”) are a group of genetic disorders. Initially thought to be very rare, it is now believed that as many as 250,000 people in the U.S. have some form of PI. BIVIGAM® contains a broad range of antibodies similar to those found in normal human plasma. These antibodies are directed against bacteria and viruses, and help to protect PIDD patients against serious infections. BIVIGAM® is a purified, sterile, ready-to-use preparation of concentrated polyclonal Immunoglobulin (“IgG”) antibodies. Antibodies are proteins in the human immune system that work to defend against infections and disease. FDA approval for BIVIGAM® was received by Biotest Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“BPC” or “Biotest”) on December 19, 2012, and production of BIVIGAM® was halted by Biotest in December 2016. ADMA Biologics obtained ownership and all rights, title and interest in BIVIGAM® on June 6, 2017 as part of the Biotest Therapy Business Unit (“BTBU”) asset acquisition. ADMA optimized the production process for BIVIGAM® and submitted a Prior Approval Supplement (“PAS”) to the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to amend the Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for BIVIGAM® in June of 2018, with a target action date of October 25, 2018 under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”). If the PAS is approved by the FDA, ADMA expects to be able to relaunch the product for commercial sale by the end of the first quarter of 2019.

 

About RI-002

 

ADMA's lead portfolio product candidate, RI-002, which has demonstrated positive Phase III pivotal clinical trial data, is a specialty plasma-derived, polyclonal, intravenous immune globulin (“IVIG”) derived from human plasma containing naturally occurring polyclonal antibodies (e.g., Streptococcus pneumoniae, H. influenza type B, cytomegalovirus (“CMV”), measles, tetanus, etc.) as well as plasma from donors tested to have high levels of neutralizing antibodies to respiratory syncytial virus (“RSV”). ADMA is pursuing an indication for the use of this specialty IVIG product for treatment of patients diagnosed with PIDD. Polyclonal antibodies are the primary active component of IVIG products. Polyclonal antibodies 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. Data review which has been published in peer reviewed journals indicates that the polyclonal antibodies present in RI-002 support its ability to prevent infections in immune-compromised patients. This data and other information about RI-002 or ADMA Biologics products can be found on the Company website at: www.admabiologics.com/therapies and www.admabiologics.com. RI-002 is protected by U.S. Patents: 9,107,906, 9,714,283, 9,815,886 and 9,969,793, the latter of which affords the Company patent exclusivity for the use of an immune globulin as a prevention and/or treatment for any type of respiratory infection.
