Item 2.02
Results of Operations and Financial Condition

ADMA Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”) preliminarily estimates that its total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 will be between $20.0 million and $20.5 million. The Company also preliminarily estimates that its cash balance as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $34 million and that its accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2021 was approximately $20 million. These preliminary financial metrics represent the most current information available to the Company’s management, as financial closing procedures for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 are not yet complete. These estimates are not a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and actual results may differ materially from these estimates as a result of the completion of normal quarter-end accounting procedures and adjustments, including the execution of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the completion of the preparation and review of the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 and the subsequent occurrence or identification of events prior to the formal issuance of the third quarter financial results.

The information in Item 2.02 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01
Other Events

Underwritten Equity Offering

On October 20, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing that it has commenced an underwritten public offering of its common stock. The Company intends to grant the underwriters of the offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 15 percent of the number of shares of common stock sold in connection with the offering. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated into this Item 8.01 by reference.

Neither the disclosures on this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the exhibits hereto shall constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein and therein, nor shall there be any sale of such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.

Recent Developments

The Company is currently evaluating a variety of strategic and financing alternatives and have engaged Morgan Stanley as a financial advisor in connection with certain of those strategic alternatives.

Risk Factor Update

The following risk factor is provided to update and supplement the risk factors of the Company previously disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

“To date, we have generated limited product revenues, have a history of losses and will need to raise additional capital to operate our business, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all.
 
Our long-term liquidity depends upon our ability to grow our commercial programs, expand our commercial operations at the Boca Facility, improve our supply-chain capabilities, improve production yields, provide more control and visibility for timing of commercial product releases, raise additional capital, fund and successfully implement our research and development and commercial programs, establish and build out a commercial sales force, medical affairs organization and commercial infrastructure and meet our ongoing obligations. In addition, our end-to-end production cycle from procurement of raw materials to commercial release of finished product can take between seven and 12 months or potentially longer, requiring substantial investments in raw material plasma and other manufacturing materials.
 

We currently anticipate, based upon our projected revenue and expenditures, that our current cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable, together with the estimated net proceeds of this offering, as well as our plans to refinance and expand our existing debt, will be sufficient to fund our operations to cash flow positive, anticipated to be achieved no later than the first quarter of 2024. This time frame may change based upon how quickly we are able to execute on our commercialization efforts and operational initiatives. However, if the assumptions underlying our estimated revenues and expenses prove to be incorrect, we may have to raise additional capital sooner than we currently expect. We anticipate that we will not be able to generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to achieve profitability until the beginning of 2024 and, as a result, we anticipate that we will need to continue to finance our operations through additional equity or debt financings, refinancing or expansion of our existing debt, or corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. If we are unable to raise additional capital as needed, we will have to delay, curtail or eliminate our commercialization efforts as well as product development activities. Even if we are able to raise additional capital, such financings may only be available on unattractive terms, resulting in significant dilution of stockholders’ interests and, in such event, the value and potential future market price of our common stock may decline. In addition, if we raise additional funds through license arrangements or through the disposition of any of our assets, it may be necessary to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our product candidates or assets or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.
 
In addition, the auditor’s report on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes a going concern paragraph. To date, our products have not generated significant revenue. As a result, we have suffered recurring losses and require significant additional cash resources to execute our business plan. These losses are expected to continue for an extended period of time. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern beyond one year from the date of this prospectus supplement. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.
 
We recognize that we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue to execute our business plan in the future. Historically, the major source of our cash has been from proceeds from various public and private offerings of our common stock. The actual amount of cash that we will need is subject to many factors. There can be no assurances that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us or that we will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional funds, we will have to scale back our operations.”
