Full Year 2021 Total Revenues of Approximately $81 Million, a 92% Increase Over Full Year 2020

Gross Profitability for Full Year 2021 Driven by Greater Market Penetration of Higher-Margin Product Mix

Completed $175 Million Debt Refinancing with Hayfin Capital Management, Extending Interest-Only Period to March 2027 & Substantially Improving Company's Cash Position

Hayfin's Partnership Supports ADMA's Going-Forward Operations and Business Plan and Continued Exploration of Strategic Alternatives

Full Year 2022 Total Revenues are Expected to Exceed $125 Million, Representing More Than a 50% Year-Over-Year Growth Rate

RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, Fla., March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADMA Biologics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADMA) ("ADMA" or the "Company"), an end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty plasma-derived biologics, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2021 financial results. Additionally, ADMA today announced the closing of a debt refinancing with Hayfin Capital Management ("Hayfin") of $150 million, and up to an additional $25 million tied to the achievement of certain revenue targets during 2022. The first tranche of the newly issued loan from Hayfin was fully drawn and used to completely repay the obligations under the Perceptive Advisors ("Perceptive") senior secured notes, including all associated prepayment fees.

"The 2021 financial results of 92% revenue growth and positive gross margin signify that our investments are yielding returns for the Company. As evidenced by the improving gross profits and narrowing net losses, we are particularly encouraged by the recent uptick in ASCENIV™ utilization by prescribers. We believe ASCENIV™'s product composition and unique antibody profile are beginning to resonate as our marketing, sales and medical education initiatives are being well-received. We are encouraged by the early 2022 growth trends, and accordingly, anticipate revenues to exceed $125 million for the full year 2022. From a margin perspective, we anticipate the improved uptake of ASCENIV™ in our overall product mix will be further bolstered by tailwinds resulting from the 4,400-liter expanded production scale and in-house fill finishing capabilities. All told, our foundation is well established for the Company to advance towards profitability no later than the first quarter of 2024 and be highly cash generative thereafter," said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA.

Mr. Grossman continued, "We believe the Company's improved funding position resulting from today's announced debt refinancing with Hayfin will enable ADMA to execute on its operating strategy, while continuing to explore strategic business opportunities with Morgan Stanley. Financially, the new debt meaningfully reduces ADMA's cost of capital, extends the interest-only period to March 2027 and provides significant non-dilutive capital to fund the Company's continued growth. This new loan from Hayfin completely repays all outstanding indebtedness to Perceptive and we thank Perceptive for their multi-year partnership and support."

"Despite persisting pandemic-related and supply-chain headwinds, 2021 was another foundational year for ADMA operationally, financially, and strategically. We are extremely grateful to our dedicated staff and leadership team for all their efforts in ensuring the continuity of treatment with ADMA's product portfolio for patients across the U.S.," concluded Mr. Grossman.

"We are pleased to support ADMA through this $175 million debt refinancing. The extensive relationships and expertise of our specialist healthcare team allow us to originate, structure and finance loans that enable best-in-class companies like ADMA to meet their growth objectives and potential," said Howard Rowe, Managing Director at Hayfin.

The new loan agreement provides for, among other things, a three-year extension from the previous Perceptive note of the interest-only period through the duration of the credit facility now maturing in March 2027. Borrowings under the Hayfin credit agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 8.25% plus an accumulating 2.50% paid-in-kind ("PIK") component. The first tranche of $150 million from Hayfin was fully drawn and used to discharge the remaining obligations under the previously held Perceptive senior secured notes, including all associated prepayment fees. The net proceeds remaining under the first tranche in addition to the $25 million second tranche levered to revenue milestones, if drawn, will be used to support continuing operations and to fund the Company's ongoing growth. The debt financing terms disclosed in this press release are not all inclusive and, as such, the statements in this press release are qualified in their entirety by reference to the description of the debt financing transaction and corresponding exhibits, including the Credit Agreement, which are included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed concurrently with this press release by ADMA with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

2021 Achievements:

Executed Financially. Achieved full year 2021 total revenues of $80.9 million, as compared to $42.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $38.7 million, or approximately 92%. Due to a favorable product mix as well as the beginnings of supply chain related operating efficiencies, ADMA realized first-time corporate gross profitability during the full year 2021. Enabled by encouraging early 2022 growth trends, ADMA anticipates exceeding $125 million in 2022 revenues, translating to a more than 50% growth rate compared to 2021 results.
Driving Greater Adoption of Higher Margin Products. ADMA is particularly encouraged with the recent physician adoption and utilization of its unique immune globulin product ASCENIV™. The Company's marketing, sales and medical education initiatives are illuminating the product's patented plasma pooling antibody composition and manufacturing methods, which the Company believes will continue to resonate with physicians, providers and patients.
On-Track BioCenters Expansion. ADMA now has ten plasma collection centers under its corporate umbrella at various stages, five of which are now FDA-approved to collect normal source and Respiratory Syncytial Virus ("RSV") hyperimmune plasma. The Company remains on track to have ten of its BioCenters locations FDA-approved by year-end 2023 and in the same period forecasts raw material plasma supply self-sufficiency. ADMA's growing internal plasma collections are currently being supplemented by third-party supply contracts as well as the yield enhancements resulting from the implementation of the Haemonetics' NexSys Persona® system. We anticipate our encouraging plasma supply position will enable ADMA to execute on its increasing production plan without any significant impact from the global plasma supply constraints being reported by other fractionators.
Refinanced Senior Secured Term Loan. Refinanced senior secured term loan with Hayfin, which among other things, lowered the effective cost of capital, extended the interest-only period by three years to March 2027 and, importantly, enabled the Company to raise significant non-dilutive capital net of servicing all remaining obligations associated with the previously held senior secured notes with Perceptive.
Ongoing Strategic Review. As previously disclosed, ADMA has engaged Morgan Stanley as an advisor to evaluate a variety of strategic and financing alternatives. The evaluation of these alternative business opportunities is ongoing. ADMA will communicate material developments as required by the SEC.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Total revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 were $26.4 million, compared to $14.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, representing an increase of approximately $12.4 million, or 89%. The revenue growth for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, was favorably impacted by the continued commercial ramp up of our Intravenous Immunoglobulin ("IVIG") product portfolio.

Consolidated net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, was $16.6 million, or $(0.09) per basic and diluted share, compared to a consolidated net loss of $19.4 million, or $(0.20) per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. The $2.8 million improved net loss compared to the prior year period was primarily attributable to a gross profit contribution of $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to a gross loss of $5.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2020, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses of $2.4 million related to employee compensation, new hires along with other costs to support the commercialization efforts for BIVIGAM® and ASCENIV™ and a $2.5 million increase in plasma center operating expenses related to the Company's plasma center buildout and expansion activities.

Full Year 2021 Financial Results

Total revenues of $80.9 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $42.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $38.7 million, or approximately 92%. The increase is mainly due to increased sales of our immunoglobulin products and intermediate fractions generated by our Boca Raton manufacturing segment operations in 2021, totaling $38.1 million, as we concluded our second full year of commercial sales of BIVIGAM® and ASCENIV™. We attribute this increase in revenue, which reflects sales volume increases across our entire portfolio of IVIG products, to an expansion of our customer base in 2021 and to increased physician, payer and patient acceptance of both BIVIGAM® and ASCENIV™. We also experienced a $0.5 million increase in plasma revenues generated by our plasma collection centers business segment.

Net loss was $71.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $75.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The improved net loss was mainly due to the improved gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 of $20.2 million compared with the year ended December 31, 2020, further aided by $2.3 million of lower research and development expenses. These amounts were largely offset by increases in plasma center operating expenses of $8.1 million, increases in SG&A of $7.8 million and higher interest expense compared to the full year 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, ADMA had working capital of $178.4 million, primarily consisting of $124.7 million of inventory, cash and cash equivalents of $51.1 million and net accounts receivable of $28.6 million, partially offset by $29.6 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, as compared to working capital of $133.8 million, mainly comprised of $81.5 million of inventory, cash and cash equivalents of $55.9 million and net accounts receivable of $13.2 million, partially offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $19.4 million, as of December 31, 2020.
