Kamada reports Q3 EPS 7c vs. 1c last year

Reports Q3 revenue $37.9M vs. $32.2M last year . “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 , 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. 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 which recommended study continuation without modification for the sixth time since study initiation, based on encouraging safety data observed in the study to date. 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.
