REHOVOT, Israel and HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a 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 six months ended June 30, 2024.

“Our strong financial performance is indicative of the successful execution of our growth strategy as we continue to effectively leverage our multiple diverse commercial catalysts, including our six FDA-approved products,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “With total revenues for the first half of 2024 of $80.2 million, which represents year-over-year growth of 18%, adjusted EBITDA of $16.6 million, up 68% year-over-year and representing a 21% margin of revenues, we achieved the top- and bottom-line profitable growth anticipated in our business. In addition, during the first six months of the year, we generated $15.0 million of cash provided by operating activities, which demonstrates our ability to convert our reported adjusted EBITDA to operational cash flow.”

“Based on our continued strong performance and expectation for a cadence of financial results in the second half of 2024 consistent with those achieved in the first six months of the year, we are reiterating our full-year 2024 revenue guidance of $158 million to $162 million, and our adjusted EBITDA guidance of $28 million to $32 million. Importantly, we continue to pursue compelling new business development opportunities, leveraging our financial strength. These opportunities are expected to support continued growth at double-digit rates beyond 2024,” added Mr. London.

“Patient enrollment continues in our ongoing pivotal Phase 3 InnovAATe clinical trial for the inhaled Alpha-1 Antitrypsin therapy. Last quarter, we filed an IND amendment with the FDA consisting of a revised Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) and study protocol, which, if approved, may allow for the acceleration of the program. We continue to expect further FDA feedback before the end of this year,” concluded Mr. London.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024

  • Total revenues were $42.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, a 13% increase from the prior year comparable quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased sales of KEDRAB due to increased market share in the U.S., as well as increased sales of CYTOGAM due to increased demand in the U.S. market.
  • Gross profit and gross margins were $19.0 million and 45%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $14.4 million and 39%, respectively, reported in the prior year comparable quarter.
  • Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $11.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in S&M costs associated with the marketing activities in the U.S., as well as increased R&D costs, primarily due to advancing the Inhaled AAT clinical trial.
  • Net income was $4.4 million, or $0.08 per share, in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to net income of $1.8 million, or $0.04 per share, in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, a 51% increase as compared to $6.0 million in the second quarter of 2023.
  • Cash provided by operating activities was $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Financial Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

  • Total revenues for the first six months of 2024 were $80.2 million, an 18% increase from the $68.2 million generated in the first six months of 2023. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased sales of KEDRAB due to increased market share in the U.S., as well as increased sales of CYTOGAM due to increased demand for the product in the U.S. market.
  • Gross profit and gross margins for the first six months of 2024 were $35.7 million and 45%, respectively, compared to $26.3 million and 39%, respectively, in the first half of 2023.
  • Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $26.0 million in the first six months of 2024, as compared to $23.4 million in the first half of 2023. The increase in operating expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in S&M costs associated with the marketing activities in the U.S., as well as increased R&D costs, primarily due to advancing the Inhaled AAT clinical trial.
  • Net profit for the first six months of 2024 was $6.8 million, or $0.12 per share, as compared to net profit of $3,000 or less than one cent per share, in the first six months of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $16.6 million in the first six months of 2024, a 68% increase as compared to $9.9 million in the first six months of 2023.
  • Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of 2024 was approximately $15.0 million, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.0 million during the first six months of 2023. The change was correlated to the changes in the Company’s working capital.

Balance Sheet Highlights
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $56.5 million, as compared to $55.6 million on December 31, 2023.

Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance
Kamada continues to expect to generate fiscal year 2024 total revenues in the range of $158 million to $162 million, and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $28 million to $32 million, representing double digit top- and bottom-line growth year-over-year.

Non-IFRS financial measures
We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we use these non-IFRS financial measures 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 these non-IFRS financial measures 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 is 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, whereas adjusted EBITDA is the EBITDA plus non-cash share-based compensation expenses and certain other costs.

For the projected 2024 adjusted EBITDA information presented herein, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of this forward measure to the most comparable IFRS financial measure because the information for these measures is dependent on future events, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Additionally, estimating such forward-looking measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods is meaningfully difficult and requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-IFRS measures are estimated in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted in the Company’s adjusted EBITDA for historical periods.
