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 nine plasma collection facilities in various stages of approval and development
located throughout the U.S., three of which hold an approved license with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”).
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 September
30, 2021, the Company had working capital of $142.4 million, including $34.4 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, including the proceeds received from the underwritten public offering
completed by the Company on October 25, 2021 (see Note 14), will be sufficient to fund ADMA’s operations, as currently conducted, through the first half of 2022. In order to have sufficient cash to fund its operations thereafter, the Company
anticipates it will need to raise additional capital during the second half of 2022, which includes the Company’s plans to refinance and expand upon its existing debt facility. The
Company believes that a debt refinancing and expansion of its current debt facility, combined with the proceeds received from the foregoing public offering further discussed in Note 14, will be sufficient to fund its operations into the first
quarter of 2024, at which time the Company believes its operations will be cash flow positive. The Company is also evaluating a variety of strategic and financing alternatives and has engaged Morgan Stanley as a financial advisor in
connection with certain of those strategic alternatives. There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to successfully refinance or expand its existing debt to obtain additional non-dilutive financing. 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, including for refinancing or
expanding the Company’s debt, 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 September 30, 2021 of $395.5 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.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company raised $67.3
million from the sale of its common stock (see Note 8). On October 25, 2021, the Company completed an underwritten public offering which raised an additional $53.9 million from the sale of its common stock (see Note 14). 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.
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.
