ADMA BIOLOGICS, INC. (ADMA)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary

Executive Summary

• ADMA delivered Q2 2025 revenue of $122.0M (+14% YoY, +29% underlying ex-2024 Medicaid rebate reversal) and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.14, modestly above S&P Global consensus on both revenue and EPS; gross margin expanded to 55.1% from 53.6% YoY . Results vs consensus in “Estimates Context” (S&P Global).
• Management reaffirmed FY25–FY26 guidance (FY25 revenue ≥$500M; Adj. EBITDA ≥$235M; Adj. Net Income ≥$175M; FY26 revenue ≥$625M; Adj. EBITDA ≥$340M; Adj. Net Income ≥$245M), noting 2025 guidance excludes upside from the FDA‑approved yield enhancement process and that benefits are conservatively reflected in 2026 .
• Commercial-scale manufacturing with the FDA-approved yield enhancement is underway; initial batches are delivering >20% higher finished IG output, expected to drive gross margin expansion as yield-enhanced lots begin monetization late 2025 and more fully in 2026 .
• Strategic catalysts: J.P. Morgan–led $300M debt refinancing (lower borrowing costs, added $225M revolver), $15M share repurchases in Q2, and acquisition of an adjacent Boca Raton site enabling up to 30% future cGMP capacity expansion; ASCENIV utilization hit record highs, underpinning H2 acceleration and FY outlook .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong

• What Went Well

  • Yield enhancement manufacturing began; initial commercial batches delivered the anticipated >20% IG output increase, a key margin inflection driver starting late 2025/2026 .
  • ASCENIV demand continued to reach record highs, supporting rising mix of higher-margin IG and underpinning H2 growth acceleration .
  • Capital structure and liquidity improved via $300M syndicated refinancing (ABR +150–200 bps / SOFR +250–300 bps spreads; $225M revolver + $75M term loan), lowering average borrowing costs and adding flexibility; $15M of buybacks executed in Q2 .

• What Went Wrong

  • Underlying YoY comparisons remain complicated by the prior-year $12.6M Medicaid rebate accrual reversal; management continues to present “underlying” growth to normalize the base .
  • Monetization timing of yield-enhanced lots cautious: 2025 guidance excludes yield benefits; management indicates more visible accretion in 2026, delaying full P&L capture of manufacturing gains .
  • Inventory built strategically by $19.3M to support ASCENIV growth; while intentional, the working capital step-up is a near-term cash use as the supply chain scales .

Financial Results

Financials across periods (oldest → newest):

Q2 2025 P&L components and non-GAAP reconciliation highlights:

• GAAP Net Income $34.2M; tax provision $5.9M; interest expense $1.8M; loss on extinguishment of debt $1.2M; non-GAAP add-backs included stock comp and yield enhancement-related costs .
• Drivers: mix shift to higher-margin IG (ASCENIV) and operational efficiencies; underlying gross margin expanded ~7.7% YoY after normalizing for the prior-year Medicaid accrual reversal .

KPI / Balance Sheet trend:

Segment breakdown: ADMA reports a portfolio of plasma-derived IG products (ASCENIV, BIVIGAM, NABI‑HB) with ASCENIV mix expanding; no separate reportable segments were disclosed; operations and sales are U.S.-based .

Guidance Changes

Notes: 2025 guidance excludes potential upside from yield enhancement; upside is conservatively reflected in 2026; SG‑001 and capacity expansion are excluded from the ≥$1.1B pre‑2030 revenue outlook .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends

Management Commentary

• “Commercial scale production utilizing our FDA approved yield enhancement process is now successfully underway. Initial production has achieved the expected 20% or greater increase in bulk IG output… We expect this efficiency gain to drive meaningful gross margin expansion and improved production throughput beginning in early 2026.”
• “Including a proactive $19.3 million increase in inventories… we generated meaningfully positive free cash flow during the quarter, ending the period with $90.3 million in total cash.”
• “This week we completed a JPMorgan led debt refinancing… totaling $300,000,000… expected to lower ADMA’s weighted average cost of debt, enhance liquidity, and provide additional financial flexibility.”
• “ASCENIV continued to set new records across all demand metrics… we believe we are well positioned to accelerate new patient starts and extend market penetration.”

Q&A Highlights

• Guidance cadence and yield impact: Management reiterated a conservative approach; H2 reacceleration expected; yield-enhanced lot monetization excluded from 2025 and heavily risk-adjusted for 2026, implying margin expansion as inventory transitions to enhanced output .
• ASCENIV utilization and payers: New physicians are coming online; reimbursement hurdles manageable with field support; appropriate-use patients are getting on therapy; demand indicators remain strong .
• Yield enhancement mechanics: Process recovers IgG from waste streams via purification and reintegration, driving >20% yield gains per batch; production at yield-enhanced scale since around May .
• Capacity and capex: New site supports near-term scalability (storage, testing, distribution) and optionality for up to 30% future cGMP expansion; not required to reach ≥$1.1B pre‑2030 target .

Estimates Context

Q2 2025 vs Wall Street (S&P Global) and actuals:

• Both revenue and EPS modestly beat consensus; underlying YoY growth normalized for the 2024 Medicaid accrual reversal was ~29%, highlighting ASCENIV-driven mix and operational gains .
• Forward estimates imply sequential growth into Q4 2025–Q2 2026, consistent with management’s H2 acceleration commentary (consensus details available on request).*

Key Takeaways for Investors

• Modest beat on both revenue and EPS, with gross margin expansion to 55.1% and continued strength in high‑margin IG mix led by ASCENIV .
• Yield enhancement is a structural margin lever; benefits begin as yield-enhanced lots are released (late 2025) and scale through 2026, providing a credible path to higher earnings power .
• H2 2025 reacceleration remains the central near‑term narrative, supported by record plasma collections, inventory build, and ASCENIV utilization; guidance was reaffirmed .
• Balance sheet and liquidity strengthened via $300M JPM refinancing and $15M buybacks; flexibility to support growth initiatives and opportunistic capital returns .
• Strategic optionality from Boca campus expansion (up to 30% cGMP capacity) supports upside beyond the ≥$1.1B pre‑2030 target and potential SG‑001 contributions .
• Watch catalysts: evidence of H2 revenue reacceleration, yield-enhanced lot monetization pace, ASCENIV HEOR outputs, and SG‑001 initial data; each can shift the margin/earnings trajectory and sentiment .
• Risk checks: payer dynamics, plasma supply continuity, and timing of yield-enhanced lot releases; management indicates robust supply and stable reimbursement processes .
