ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS |
ADMA Biologics, Inc. (“ADMA” or the “Company”) is an end-to-end commercial
biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty plasma-derived biologics for the treatment of immunodeficient patients at risk for infection and others at risk for certain infectious diseases. The
Company’s targeted patient populations include immune-compromised individuals who suffer from an underlying immune deficiency disorder or who may be immune-suppressed for medical reasons.
ADMA operates through its wholly-owned subsidiaries ADMA BioManufacturing, LLC (“ADMA
BioManufacturing”) and ADMA BioCenters Georgia Inc. (“ADMA BioCenters”). ADMA BioManufacturing was formed in January 2017 to facilitate the acquisition of the Biotest Therapy Business Unit (“BTBU”) from BPC Plasma, Inc. (formerly Biotest
Pharmaceuticals Corporation) (“BPC” and, together with Biotest AG, “Biotest”) on June 6, 2017. The acquisition included certain assets (the “Biotest Assets”) of BTBU, which included the FDA-licensed BIVIGAM and Nabi-HB immunoglobulin products,
and an FDA-licensed plasma fractionation manufacturing facility located in Boca Raton, FL (the “Boca Facility”) (the “Biotest Transaction”). BTBU had previously been the Company’s third-party contract manufacturer. ADMA BioCenters is the
Company’s source plasma collection business with eight plasma collection facilities in various stages of approval and development
located throughout the U.S., two of which hold an approved license with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) while a
third facility has a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) pending FDA approval.
The Company has three FDA-approved products, all of which are currently marketed and commercially available: (i) BIVIGAM (Immune Globulin Intravenous, Human), an Intravenous Immune Globulin (“IVIG”)
product indicated for the treatment of Primary Humoral Immunodeficiency (“PI”), also known as Primary Immunodeficiency Disease (“PIDD”), and for which the Company received FDA approval on May 9, 2019 and commenced commercial sales in August
2019; (ii) ASCENIV (Immune Globulin Intravenous, Human – slra 10% Liquid), an IVIG product indicated for the treatment of PI, for which the Company received FDA approval on April 1, 2019 and commenced first commercial sales in October 2019; and
(iii) Nabi-HB (Hepatitis B Immune Globulin, Human), which is indicated for the treatment of acute exposure to blood containing Hepatitis B surface antigen (“HBsAg”) and other listed exposures to Hepatitis B. In addition to its commercially
available immunoglobulin products, the Company provides contract manufacturing and laboratory services for certain clients and generates revenues from the sale of intermediate by-products that result from the immunoglobulin production process.
The Company seeks to develop a pipeline of plasma-derived therapeutics, and its products and product candidates are intended to be used by physician specialists focused on caring for immune-compromised patients with or at risk for certain
infectious diseases.
As of June 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $153.2 million, including $42.4
million of cash and cash equivalents. Based upon the Company’s current projected revenue and expenditures, including capital expenditures and continued implementation of the Company’s commercialization and expansion activities, the Company’s
management currently believes that its cash, cash equivalents, projected revenue and accounts receivable will be sufficient to fund ADMA’s operations, as currently conducted, into the fourth quarter of 2021. In order to have sufficient cash to
fund its operations thereafter, the Company anticipates it will need to raise additional capital before the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. These estimates may change based upon several factors, including the success of the Company’s
commercial sales of its products, manufacturing ramp-up activities, the acceptability of ADMA’s immune globulin products by physicians, patients or payers and the various financing options that may be available to the Company. In addition, the
Company’s end-to-end production cycle from procurement of raw materials to commercial release of finished product can take between
and 12 months or potentially longer, requiring substantial investments in raw material plasma and other manufacturing materials. The
Company currently has no firm commitments for additional financing, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing on terms that are acceptable to the Company, or at all. Furthermore, if the Company’s
assumptions underlying its estimated expenses and revenues are incorrect, it may have to raise additional capital sooner than currently anticipated.Due to numerous risks and uncertainties associated with FDA review, inspections and approvals related to the
Company’s products or the labeled indications of such products, ongoing compliance requirements and capacity expansion efforts at the Company’s Boca Facility and future commercialization of the Company’s products, including the Company’s
ability to obtain adequate quantities of FDA-approved plasma with proper specifications on acceptable terms for use in the Company’s manufacturing process, as well as the additional uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic (see Note 10),
the Company is unable to estimate with certainty the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures required to fund its commercial and development activities. The Company’s current estimates may be subject to change as
circumstances regarding its business requirements evolve. Failure to secure any necessary financing in a timely manner and on commercially reasonable terms could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business plan and financial
performance and it could be forced to delay or discontinue its commercialization, product development or clinical activities or delay or discontinue the approval efforts for any of the Company’s products or product candidates. The Company has
reported cumulative losses since inception in June 2004 through June 30, 2021 of $377.8 million. As such, these factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts and the
classification of liabilities that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The Company may decide to raise capital through public or private equity offerings or debt financings, or
obtain a bank credit facility or enter into corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if convertible, could result in dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders and, in such
event, the market value of its common stock may decline. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could also result in covenants that would restrict the Company’s operations or other financing
alternatives. In addition, the Company is exploring additional contract manufacturing arrangements and other business development opportunities, which may provide additional liquidity to the Company.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company raised $59.1 million from the open market sale agreement dated August 5, 2020, as amended, (the “2020 Sale Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), pursuant to which the
Company could offer and sell, from time to time, at its option, through or to Jefferies, shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 8). In July of 2021, the Company raised an additional $1.5 million under the 2020 Sale Agreement, and the Company has reached the maximum amount of funds that can be raised under the 2020 Sale Agreement.
On May 28, 2021, the Company entered into a new Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “2021 Sale Agreement”) with
Jefferies, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, at its option, through or to Jefferies, up to an aggregate of $50,000,000
of shares of the Company’s common stock. As of August 11, 2021, there have been no sales of common stock under the 2021 Sale
Agreement.
There can be no assurance that the Company’s approved products will be commercially viable, or that research
and development, plant capacity expansion, plasma center build-outs or other capital improvements will be successfully completed or that any product developed in the future will be approved. The Company is subject to risks common to companies
in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries including, but not limited to, dependence on collaborative arrangements, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key
personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with FDA and other governmental regulations and approval requirements.
