REHOVOT, Israel and HOBOKEN, N.J., Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a commercial stage global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived field, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

“We are highly encouraged with our strong financial and operational momentum during the first nine months of the year,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “With total revenues of $106.1 million, which represent year-over-year growth of 26%, and adjusted EBITDA of $17.7 million, an increase of 67% as compared to the first nine months of 2022, we achieved the top- and bottom-line growth anticipated in our business in the first nine months of the year. We continue to effectively leverage our multiple growth drivers, including a significant increase in sales of our anti-rabies immunoglobulin product, KEDRAB® as well as the portfolio of the four FDA-approved immunoglobulins (CYTOGAM®, HEPAGAMB®, VARIZIG® and WINRHO® SDF), and our Israeli distribution business.”

“We expect the momentum from the first nine months of the year to extend through the fourth quarter of 2023, with annual profitability to be further meaningfully enhanced as compared to last year. As such, we are reiterating our full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $138 million to $146 million and adjusted EBITDA of $22 million to $26 million; the mid-point of the range would represent profitability growth of approximately 35% over 2022,” continued Mr. London.

“During the recent period we reported multiple achievements with CYTOGAM. Specifically, following recent FDA approval of the technology transfer process, CYTOGAM manufactured at our Israeli facility is now available for commercial sale in U.S., and new clinical data highlighting five-year real-world survival benefits of high risk CMV mismatch lung transplant patients receiving CYTOGAM were presented at IDWeek 2023. In addition, we continue to advance our pivotal phase 3 InnovAATe trial for Inhaled AAT and we recently received positive feedback from the independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) which recommended study continuation without modification for the sixth time since study initiation, based on encouraging safety data observed in the study to date,” added Mr. London.

“Our future prospects were also recently further buoyed by the recent closing of our $60 million private placement with FIMI Opportunity Funds. This strategic investment provides us with financial flexibility to pursue compelling business development opportunities, a process that we are currently engaged in,” concluded Mr. London.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

  • Total revenues were $37.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, an 18% increase from the $32.2 million recorded in the third quarter of 2022. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased sales of KEDRAB to Kedrion due to increased market share and demand for the product in the U.S. market.
  • Gross profit and gross margins were $14.8 million and 39%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $12.9 million and 40%, respectively, reported in the third quarter of 2022. Cost of goods sold in the Company’s Proprietary segment, for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, included $1.3 million of depreciation expenses associated with intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition.
  • Operating expenses, including R&D, Sales & Marketing (S&M), G&A and other expenses, totaled $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to $10.3 million in the third quarter of 2022. S&M costs, for the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, included $0.4 million of depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition.
  • Net income was $3.2 million, or $0.07 per share, in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to a net income of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, in the third quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, a 31% increase as compared to $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2022.
  • Cash provided by operating activities was $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2022. The change correlates to the changes in the Company’s working capital and supports overall growth.

Financial Highlights for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

  • Total revenues for the first nine months of 2023 were $106.1 million, a 26% increase from the $83.9 million generated in the first nine months of 2022. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased sales of KEDRAB to Kedrion due to increased market share and demand for the product in the U.S. market.
  • Gross profit and gross margins for the first nine months of 2023 were $41.1 million and 39%, respectively, compared to $31.4 million and 37%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2022.

  • Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $33.8 million in the first nine months of 2023, as compared to $30.9 million in the prior year period. S&M costs, for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, included $1.2 million of depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition. The increase in operating expenses was attributable to an increase in S&M costs associated with the acquired portfolio commercial operation, as well as increased R&D costs, primarily due to advancing the pivotal Phase 3 InnovAATe trial for Inhaled AAT.
  • Net income for the first nine months of 2023 was $3.2 million, or $0.07 per share, as compared to net loss of $5.3 million, or $(0.12) per share, in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $17.7 million in the first nine months of 2023, a 67% increase as compared to $10.6 million in the first nine months of 2022.
  • Cash used in operating activities during the first nine months of 2023 was approximately $0.1 million, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $21.8 million during the first nine months of 2022. The change correlates to the changes in the Company’s working capital and supports overall growth.

  • The Company continues to conduct its business operations in Israel with no effect on business continuity, and its global supply of products is not expected to be interrupted as a result of the recent events in Israel.

Non-IFRS financial measures
We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we use this non-IFRS financial measure to assess our operational performance, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Management believes this non-IFRS financial measure are useful to investors because: (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations; and (2) they exclude the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to our core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our IFRS results. We expect to continue reporting non-IFRS financial measures, adjusting for the items described below, and we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-cash, non-IFRS adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under IFRS and do not purport to be an alternative to IFRS terms as an indicator of operating performance or any other IFRS measure. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are defined as net income (loss), plus income tax expense, plus or minus financial income or expenses, net, plus or minus income or expense in respect of securities measured at fair value, net, plus or minus income or expenses in respect of currency exchange differences and derivatives instruments, net, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus non-cash share-based compensation expenses and certain other costs.
