“We are extremely pleased with our preliminary record fourth quarter and full year 2020 revenue results. ADMA’s continued execution through COVID-19 headwinds is a testament to our organization’s unwavering commitment to provide patients with products to ensure the continuity of care. Our 2020 full year operating results, we believe, will ultimately unlock significant value for ADMA shareholders,” said Adam Grossman, ADMA’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “2021 is poised to be a transformative year for ADMA as we continue to execute on our mission of providing specialty immune globulin products to patients and building a highly profitable, end-to-end biologics manufacturing company.”
Mr. Grossman continued, “Throughout 2021 and beyond, we anticipate delivering ongoing quarter-over-quarter revenue growth. We also anticipate realizing robust operating efficiencies as early as mid-2021, pending United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decisions regarding ADMA’s submissions for its supply chain enhancement initiatives, most notably consisting of our Intravenous Immune Globulin (IVIG) production scale increase and for our in-house aseptic fill-finish production line. Additionally, we expect to potentially obtain FDA approvals in 2021 for two new plasma collection centers located in Knoxville and Maryville, TN as well as file Biologics License Applications (BLAs) for an additional two plasma collection centers. COVID-19 notwithstanding, ADMA remained on track in 2020 and achieved all its stated 2020 strategic and operating objectives. We anticipate 2021 will be another year of achieving value-creating milestones, including executing on the ongoing production ramp up and inventory build to support annual revenue generation in excess of
ADMA executed on all of its 2020 strategic objectives, including:
- Navigated COVID-19 operating headwinds evidenced by preliminary total revenues of approximately
$42.2 million generated for the first full calendar year of commercialization, in addition to significantly building inventory balances throughout the year, establishing a solid basis for continued quarter-over-quarter revenue growth. - Expanded ADMA BioCenters’ plasma collection center network on schedule with the construction of two new collection centers which are currently operational and collecting plasma, as well as initiated the establishment of three additional collection centers. The Company currently has six plasma collection centers under its corporate umbrella at various stages of approval and development.
- Refinanced ADMA’s senior secured term loan with Perceptive Advisors, which among other things, 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. As part of the refinancing transaction, the Company negotiated a
$1 million principal reduction to the payoff of ADMA’s subordinated debt facility prior to maturity without any prepayment penalty. - Advanced supply chain enhancements and capacity expansion initiatives in-line with Company provided timelines and maintained anticipated regulatory decisions and FDA interactions.
- Expanded the Company’s IP portfolio with new patents and developed the ImmunoRank™ Neutralization MICRO-ELISA to detect the presence and levels of COVID-19 neutralizing antibodies.
- Entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement to produce and sell plasma-derived intermediate fractions which is expected to contribute
$10 -20 million in revenues at full scale. - Hosted an exclusive educational event at IDWeek 2020 on respiratory viral infections and novel treatment modalities, as well as presented new data on the preparation of a hyperimmune globulin for the prevention and treatment of Streptococcus pneumonia in an on-demand poster session.
ADMA is focused on the following key strategic priorities in 2021:
- Generate ongoing quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year revenue growth throughout 2021 and beyond as the Company progresses towards achieving profitability with peak revenues of
$250 million or greater by 2024. - Continue building ADMA’s inventory balance to support anticipated ongoing revenue growth and solidify ADMA’s position as a reliable supplier for the growing U.S. immune globulin marketplace ultimately ensuring the continuity of immune globulin supply for our patients and customers.
- Complete certain supply chain enhancements and capacity expansion programs as early as mid-2021. Once FDA approved, the Company’s newly installed fill-finish machine as well as the IVIG manufacturing scale increase should allow ADMA to realize significant operating efficiencies and improved gross margins beginning potentially as early as mid-2021. These projects will ultimately position the Company to be fully vertically integrated with in-house control over the Company’s most critical manufacturing functions.
- Expand ADMA’s plasma collection center network to achieve the goal of building up to 10 plasma collection centers in the U.S. by 2024. During 2021, ADMA expects two regulatory approval decisions for the Company’s Knoxville and Maryville, TN plasma collection centers. ADMA also anticipates filing BLAs for two additional plasma collection centers during 2021.
