ADMA Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ: ADMA) reported exceptional financial results for the third quarter of 2024, fueling a surge in its stock price. The biopharmaceutical company achieved record-breaking performance across key metrics, driven by strong demand for its flagship product, ASCENIV.
Total revenue soared to $119.8 million, representing a remarkable 78% year-over-year increase. This robust top-line growth translated into a 256% surge in adjusted EBITDA, reaching $45.4 million. Furthermore, ADMA Biologics reported a staggering 1,300% year-over-year increase in net income, which climbed to $35.9 million.
The company's gross margin also improved significantly, rising from 37% in the third quarter of 2023 to 50% in the latest quarter. Bolstered by these exceptional results, ADMA Biologics raised its financial guidance for 2024 and 2025, now forecasting total revenues to exceed $415 million and $465 million, respectively.
A key driver of ADMA Biologics' success is the promising potential of ASCENIV, which the company believes could become a billion-dollar revenue opportunity. To meet the growing demand for ASCENIV, the company is strategically adjusting its production, utilizing initiatives like the VIP donor program and ADMAlytics to optimize plasma collections and retain high-titer plasma donors, which are crucial for ASCENIV's production.
However, the company faces challenges in securing enough high-titer plasma supply to keep up with demand and addressing the impact of a low-margin spot sale of normal source plasma on its overall margin performance. Additionally, the timeline for the yield enhancement production project and its impact on future revenues remain uncertain.
