Kamada Reports Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

 

Net Income of $1 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $4 million

Phase 3 clinical trial of Inhaled AAT for AATD in EU on track to complete this year

 

Conference Call Begins Today at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time

 

NESS ZIONA, Israel (August 1, 2013) – Kamada Ltd. (Nasdaq and TASE: KMDA), a plasma-derived protein therapeutics company focused on orphan indications, announces financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

“This year’s second quarter was an exceptionally exciting time for Kamada, highlighted by our successful U.S. IPO and the expansion of our strategic distribution agreement with Baxter in the U.S. In addition, we made excellent progress growing proprietary product revenue, advancing our clinical development programs, fortifying our patent portfolio, maintaining Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance for Israel, and strengthening our balance sheet,” said David Tsur, Chief Executive Officer of Kamada.

 

“We were particularly pleased to announce an extension to our strategic agreement with Baxter under which minimum revenues expected from 2010 through 2016 increased to $165 million from $110 million previously. The agreement also expanded our production of Glassia for Baxter’s distribution through 2016, pushing out the transition to royalty payments for Glassia produced by Baxter until 2017. Until that time, we will continue to produce Glassia for distribution by Baxter, which we expect will result in higher profitability for Kamada in 2015 and 2016. During the quarter, we also achieved a milestone under the technology transfer agreement for which we received a $4.5 million payment.

 

“We remain on track to complete the European pivotal, multi-center Phase 2/3 clinical trial of our inhaled Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) for the treatment of AAT deficiency (AATD) and expect to report top-line results in early 2014. We have enrolled a high percentage of eligible patients from this study into the open-label extension (OLE) study. With 70 patients enrolled to date in the OLE, we believe participation underscores physician and patient preference for an inhaled treatment for AATD.

 

“We expect to initiate a U.S. Phase 2 study of our inhaled AAT to treat AATD in the second half of 2013. In addition, we are making progress with plans for a Phase 2/3 clinical trial in Israel to treat newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes with D1-AAT, our intravenously administered AAT product. In a Phase 1/2 clinical trial D1-AAT was shown to be safe and well-tolerated and demonstrated potential to exert a protective effect on beta-cells, thereby slowing disease progression and re-modulation of the autoimmune attack. We expect to begin this study by the end of the year.

 

“In order to meet expected growth in product demand, we designed and implemented enhancements to our manufacturing processes to significantly improve capacity for our AAT products. We filed a request for approval of these enhancements with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and intend to provide requested additional data during the second half of 2013. We expect the FDA to approve these improvements in the first half of 2014. In the meantime we are distributing finished goods produced by the existing approved process as planned. Our 2013 revenue forecast does not assume U.S. approval of the improved manufacturing process.

 

 
 

 

“We recently announced the Israeli Ministry of Health (IMOH) completed a GMP audit of our manufacturing facility in Beit Kama, Israel. The audit was performed as part of their routine evaluation of our manufacturing process and concluded that we comply with the GMP requirements of the IMOH. This audit also qualifies as an audit by the European Union.

 

“We continue to build on our achievements and expect to report significant revenue growth while advancing our robust pipeline of plasma-derived protein therapeutics throughout the second half of 2013,” concluded Mr. Tsur.

 

Second Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2013 increased 17% to $16.1 million from $13.7 million for the second quarter of 2012, with higher proprietary product revenue mainly attributed to the milestone achieved under the agreement with Baxter, partially offset by expected declines from distributed products.

 

Revenue from the Proprietary Products Segment increased 70% to $11.9 million from $7.0 million in the year-ago quarter. Revenue from the Distribution Segment declined 37% to $4.2 million from $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2012.

 

Research and development (R&D) expenses in the second quarter of 2013 of $2.6 million were in line with $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2012 and down from the $3.7 million in the first quarter of this year, which was impacted by production facility costs that were allocated to R&D.

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the second quarter of 2013 of $3.2 million increased from $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2012, and included a one-time management compensation payment of $1.4 million associated with the successful U.S. IPO.

 

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2013 increased to $7.4 million from $3.3 million a year ago, while gross margin increased to 46% from 24% in the second quarter of 2012. Gross margin expansion is due to milestone revenues under the technology transfer agreement with Baxter.

 

For the second quarter of 2013 the Company reported operating income of $1.6 million compared with an operating loss of $1 million for the second quarter of 2012. Net income for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.90 million or $0.03 diluted income per share, compared with a net loss of $2.3 million or $0.08 loss per share for the same period in 2012.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2013 was $4.2 million compared with $0.1 million Adjusted EBITDA for the same quarter last year.

 

Six Months Financial Results

Total revenue for the first half of 2013 decreased 14% to $28.7 million from $33.4 million for the first half of 2012 due to expected declines in revenue in the Distribution Segment.

 

For the first half of 2013 revenue in the Proprietary Products Segment was $20.0 million, up slightly from $19.5 million for the same period in 2012. Revenue in the Distribution Segment declined 37% to $8.8 million from $13.9 million in the first half of 2012.

 

 
 

 

Gross profit for the first half of 2013 increased to $11.6 million from $8.9 million, while gross margin increased to 40% from 27% in the comparable prior-year period.

 

Operating income for the first six months of 2013 of $0.35 million compared with an operating loss of $0.71 million for the first six months of 2012. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 narrowed to $1.1 million or $0.04 per share, compared with a net loss of $2.7 million or $0.10 per share for the same period in 2012.

 

Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of 2013 was $3.9 million, an increase of 165% compared with $1.5 million Adjusted EBITDA for the same period last year.

 

Balance Sheet Highlights

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had cash and cash equivalents and short term investments of $82.6 million, including net proceeds of $53.0 million raised in the U.S. IPO, compared with $33.8 million as of December 31, 2012.
