ADMA Biologics Announces Partial Paydown of Revolving Credit Facility

Cash on Hand Utilized to Repay $30 Million of Revolving Credit Facility to Ares Capital with No Prepayment Penalties

Lowers ADMA’s Total Debt to $105 Million, a 22% Reduction

Further Supports Earnings Growth Outlook

RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADMA Biologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMA) (“ADMA” or the “Company”), an end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty biologics, today announced it has repaid $30 million from its original $72.5 million revolving credit facility with Ares Capital. Following the partial paydown, ADMA has reduced its total gross debt to $105 million, comprised of its existing $62.5 million term loan and $42.5 million now outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The partial paydown was funded by utilizing cash on hand.

"ADMA’s organically generated cash flow has enabled the pay down of $30 million of our revolving credit facility,” said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA. “The paydown reduces our total gross debt by 22%, and the lowered interest expense is expected to further enhance our earnings growth potential in the immediate periods ahead. This decision is a testament to our confidence in the sustained growth of earnings and the anticipated ongoing cash generation. We expect to further reduce and optimize ADMA’s cost of both debt and equity capital going forward.”
