Conference Call and Live Webcast Today at 8:00am ET

 

REHOVOT, Israel, and HOBOKEN, NJ – March 5, 2025 -- 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 months and year ended December 31, 2024.

 

“Our performance over the course of 2024 was excellent, leading to record annual top- and bottom-line financial results,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “We enter 2025 from a position of significant strength, continuing to benefit from growth across our entire portfolio, with anticipated 2025 guidance representing a year-over-year double digit growth of 12% in revenues and 17% in adjusted EBITDA, when comparing 2025 guidance mid-points to 2024 results, driven by our diverse commercial portfolio marketed in over 30 countries. We look forward to continuing to execute on our multi-year value generating strategy based on our four key growth pillars, comprising of organic commercial growth, the execution of business development and M&A transactions, our plasma collection operations, and the further advancement of our pivotal Phase 3 Inhaled AAT program.”

 

“Our organic growth will be driven by continued investment in the commercialization and life cycle management of our six FDA-approved specialty plasma-derived products, as well as the products in our Distribution segment portfolio, primarily through the continued launch of biosimilar products in Israel. During 2025, we aim to leverage our strong financial position to secure new business development, in-licensing, collaboration, and/or merger and acquisitions transactions. Such transactions are expected to generate operational and/or commercial synergies with our current commercial portfolio,” continued Mr. London. 

 

“Moreover, we are expanding our plasma collection operations to support revenue growth through the sale of normal source plasma to third parties, and to support our increasing demand for specialty plasma. We currently have two operating U.S. plasma collection centers, and a third center in San Antonio, Texas, will be opened by the end of this month. Lastly, we continue to progress the InnovAATe clinical trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal Phase 3 trial of our Inhaled AAT product. Importantly, we recently announced FDA agreement to accept a proposed revision to our study statistical plan that resulted in reducing the number of study subjects to 180 patients, and our plan to conduct an interim futility analysis by the end of 2025,” concluded Mr. London.

 

 

 

 

Financial Highlights for Year Ended December 31, 2024

 

Total revenues for 2024 were $161.0 million, a 13% increase from the $142.5 million generated in 2023. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to KEDRAB and CYTOGAM growth year-over-year.

 

Gross profit and gross margins were $70.0 million and 43%, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $55.5 million and 39%, respectively, in 2023. The increase in gross profit and gross margins year-over-year was primarily due to the increase in sales and improved product and territory sales mix.

 

Operating expenses, including research and development (R&D), sales and marketing (S&M), general and administrative (G&A), and other expenses, totaled $49.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $45.4 million in the prior year. The higher operating expenses were primarily attributable to an increase in S&M costs associated with marketing activities in the U.S., as well as increased R&D costs, primarily due to advancing the Inhaled AAT clinical trial.

 

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024, was $14.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, up 75% compared to a net income of $8.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the prior year.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $34.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, a 42% increase as compared to $24.1 million in the prior year.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $47.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $4.3 million in the prior year. The significant increase is correlated to the increase in profitability and improvement in the Company’s working capital.

 

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024

 

Total revenues were $39.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, a 7% increase compared to $36.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Gross profit and gross margins were $17.0 million and 44%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2024, up 18% compared to $14.4 million and 40%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to $11.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Net income was $3.8 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to $5.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease in net income was mainly attributable to higher financial costs associated with reevaluation of long-term contingent liabilities.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $8.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, up 38% compared to $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $10.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $6.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Shareholders and other interested parties may participate in the call by dialing 1-877-413-7208 (from within the U.S.), 1-201-689-8555 (International), or 1-809-406-247 Investors (from Israel) using conference I.D. 13751522.

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 2025 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.

Kamada Ltd. (the “Company”) is a global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived therapies field. The Company’s strategy is focused on driving profitable growth through four primary growth pillars: First, organic growth from its commercial activities, including continued investment in the commercialization and life cycle management of its proprietary products, which include six FDA-approved specialty plasma-derived products: KEDRAB®, CYTOGAM®, GLASSIA®, WINRHO SDF®, VARIZIG® and HEPAGAM B®, as well as KAMRAB®, KAMRHO (D)® and two types of equine-based anti-snake venom products, and the products in the distribution segment portfolio, mainly through the launch of several biosimilar products in Israel.
