REHOVOT, Israel, Aug. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a plasma-derived biopharmaceutical company, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
“Our business continued to perform as anticipated throughout the first half of 2021,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “Despite the expected decrease in revenue as compared to the first half of last year due to the planned transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda later this year, we achieved gross margins of 37 percent in the first half of 2021, as compared to 34 percent during the first six months of 2020. As an outlook for the second half of 2021, we anticipate a reduction in overall gross margins mainly due to anticipated change in products sales mix.”
“We continue to progress the pivotal Phase 3 InnovAATe clinical trial of our proprietary Inhaled AAT for the treatment of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD) and are exploring a potential commercial partnership with respect to this product. We are pleased with the level of external interest generated in this therapy to date,” continued Mr. London.
“Moreover, we initiated the planning for the opening of additional U.S. plasma collection centers by leveraging our existing U.S. Food and Drug Administration license. In addition, we continue to achieve important progress around the advancement of our business development priorities and are exploring potential strategic transactions that would utilize and expand our core plasma-derived development, manufacturing, and commercialization expertise. We believe we have multiple prospects that would represent significant steps toward accomplishing our strategic goal of becoming a fully-integrated specialty plasma company,” concluded Mr. London.
