ADMA Biologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMA), a commercial biopharmaceutical company specializing in manufacturing and marketing specialty biologics, has announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2024. The company reported growth in revenue, net income, and adjusted EBITDA, reflecting the robustness of its operations and initiatives.
Financial Performance Highlights
For the second quarter ending June 30, 2024, ADMA Biologics reported total revenues of $107.2 million, marking a 78% increase compared to $60.1 million in the same period the previous year. The substantial revenue growth can be attributed primarily to the increased sales of ASCENIV™ (immune globulin intravenous, human – slra 10% liquid), a key product in ADMA's portfolio. The company also reported a GAAP net income of $32.1 million for the quarter, a turnaround from a GAAP net loss of $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2023. This improvement represents a $38.4 million increase year-over-year.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 was $44.5 million, compared to $6.4 million in the same period of the previous year, reflecting a nearly 600% increase. ADMA Biologics has been actively implementing multiple initiatives aimed at enhancing its product offerings, optimizing manufacturing processes, and expanding its market reach. Key initiatives and milestones achieved in the second quarter include:
Compounding Growth: The company experienced a 78% year-over-year revenue growth, which drove increases in Adjusted EBITDA and Net Income. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, Adjusted EBITDA grew by 69%, and Net Income increased by 80% compared to the first quarter of 2024. ADMA anticipates building on this momentum throughout the remainder of 2024 and beyond.
Favorably Evolving Mix Shift: ADMA's higher-margin product portfolio now accounts for over 50% of the company's total revenue. The company is actively working to increase the supply of ASCENIV™, which could contribute a majority of total revenue over time, further enhancing margin expansion and earnings growth.
Strengthened Balance Sheet: ADMA reported an operating cash flow of $45.6 million for the second quarter and an improved net leverage ratio of approximately 0.26x. The company expects continued strengthening of its balance sheet through ongoing cash generation and forecasted Adjusted EBITDA growth.
Updated Marketing Materials: During the second quarter, ADMA revamped its corporate and product websites and updated its marketing materials for healthcare providers. The company also released a new video testimonial on the ASCENIV™ product website, highlighting the treatment journey of a co-morbid and refractive immunodeficient patient.
Expanded ADMAlytics™ Implementation: The implementation of ADMAlytics, a proprietary analytics platform, was expanded to the commercial arm of the organization. This platform optimizes commercial growth strategy, production efficiency, visibility into the manufacturing process, and overall operations, contributing to the company's rapid earnings growth outlook.
