What's in Store for ADMA Biologics (ADMA) in Q2 Earnings?

Read MoreHide Full Article

We expect investors to focus on the sales performance of ADMA Biologics, Inc.’s (ADMA - Free Report) portfolio of marketed products and other pipeline updates when it reports second-quarter 2024 results.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for the quarter to be reported.

Factors to Note

ADMA Biologics markets plasma-derived biologics for the treatment of immune deficiencies and the prevention of certain infectious diseases. The company’s top line currently comprises sales of three FDA-approved products, namely – Bivigam (to treat primary humoral immunodeficiency), Asceniv (to treat primary immunodeficiency) and Nabi-HB (to treat and provide enhanced immunity against the hepatitis B virus).

Revenues in the last reported quarter jumped almost 44% year over year owing to increased sales of its immunoglobulin products, a trend mostly likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

The company’s commercial specialty biologics product portfolio has been witnessing strong growth and the momentum is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

Shares of ADMA Biologics have skyrocketed 195.6% so far this year against the industry’s decline of 2.9%.

ADMA Biologics’ supplemental biologics license applications (BLAs) for both Asceniv and Bivigam were approved by the FDA in March 2024. This extended the approved 4-week room temperature (25°C) storage conditions during the first 24 months of shelf life to allow for a 4-week room temperature storage at any point during the entire 36-month approved shelf life for Asceniv and Bivigam.

The FDA nod for the extension of room temperature storage conditions for Asceniv and Bivigam is expected to have increased sales of these immunoglobulin products in the second quarter of 2024.

Owing to the strong sales performance of its marketed products in the last reported quarter, ADMA increased its revenue guidance for 2024 and 2025. Investors will be keen to know whether the company increases the guidance further on the upcoming earnings call.

ADMA Biologics is also looking to advance the pre-clinical work for its S. pneumonia hyperimmune globulin pipeline program in 2024. S. pneumonia is the main cause of community-acquired pneumonia in the United States. We expect management to provide an update on this during the upcoming conference call.

The activities related to pipeline development are most likely to have escalated ADMA Biologics’ operating expenses in the second quarter.

Earnings Surprise History

ADMA Biologics has an encouraging earnings surprise history. The company’s earnings beat estimates in three of the trailing four quarters and met the same on the remaining occasion. ADMA delivered a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 90.00%. In the last reported quarter, ADMA Biologics’ earnings beat estimates by 60.00%.
