The company is rapidly progressing towards full-fledged commercialization stage with significant upside potential. ADMA has made substantial progress executing on its key initiatives throughout 2018. Most importantly, it improved the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) compliance status for its manufacturing facility in Boca Raton, Florida, which allowed it to submit applications for approval for the relaunch of BIVIGAM® and the approval and launch of RI-002.
The company also obtained FDA approval for its third plasma collection center, which was announced during the third quarter and occurred ahead of expectations. The management is looking forward to the coming months as it continues working with the FDA and commercializes its intravenous immune globulin products, which are expected to grow the top line in 2019.
Near-Term Milestone:

Q-3 Financial Results:
Revenue: ADMA reported total revenues of $4.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, as compared to $4.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, representing a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease in revenues was primarily due to the timing of shipments of normal source plasma to certain customers in accordance with their agreements from the ADMA Bio Centers plasma collection business segment, partially offset by an increase in revenues from commercial product produced at the plasma manufacturing facility (the “Boca Facility”).
Profitability: The consolidated net loss for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, was $15.1 million, or $(0.33) per basic and diluted share, as compared to a consolidated net loss of $15.2 million, or $(0.59) per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The net loss in 2018 includes approximately $7.0 million in unabsorbed manufacturing costs at the Boca Facility and non-cash expenses of $1.7 million for stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash interest expense.
Liquidity and financial flexibility: At September 30, 2018, ADMA had cash and cash equivalents of $42.4 million, as compared to $43.1 million at December 31, 2017. ADMA’s net working capital as of September 30, 2018, was $52.6 million, as compared to $53.7 million as of December 31, 2017. In the second quarter of 2018, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of its common stock and received net proceeds of $42.9 million.
Key Stock Influences:
Successful completion of the upcoming milestones would lead future direction for the company. Any adversities related to these upcoming milestones might adversely impact the overall investor sentiments.
ADMA is still an early stage entity and has not yet generated meaningful revenue and will likely operate at a loss as it grows its market position and seeks ways to monetize it.
ADMA has a history of operating losses. Therefore, any time or cost overrun in its ongoing R&D activities and its impact on business & financial profile will remain a key business sensitivity factor.
