REHOVOT, Israel, Nov. 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. KMDAKMDA)), a plasma-derived protein therapeutics company, today announced financial results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

"We are pleased with our continued strong performance in the third quarter and year-to-date 2019," said Amir London, Kamada's Chief Executive Officer.  "For the third quarter of 2019, total revenues were $33.1 million, a 121% increase compared to the third quarter of 2018, which, as a reminder, was negatively impacted by our manufacturing facility labor strike.  For the first nine months of 2019, total revenues were $95.1 million, representing a 44% increase over the first nine months of 2018. Based on our continued strong performance in the third quarter, and our positive outlook for the fourth quarter of the year, we expect to achieve our full-year 2019 total revenue guidance of $125 million to $130 million."

"Our overall gross profit was $12.9 million and $37.6 million during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively," continued Mr. London.  "Gross margins in our Proprietary Products segment for both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2019 were 47%, and our adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2019 was $7.2 million and $21.7 million, respectively.  Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $66.8 million as of September 30, 2019, an increase of $16.2 million compared to the end of 2018."

"As recently announced, we extended our strategic supply agreement with Takeda for GLASSIA® and we will continue to produce the product for the U.S. market through 2021.  Takeda intends to complete the technology transfer of the product and pending FDA approval, will commence its own production of GLASSIA for the U.S. market," continued Mr. London.  "Based on the extended agreement, we project that total revenues from sales of GLASSIA to Takeda in 2019-2021 will be in the range of $155 million to $180 million.  While the transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda during 2021 will result in a significant reduction of Kamada's revenues, based on current GLASSIA sales in the U.S. and forecasted future growth, we expect to receive a flow of future royalty payments from Takeda in the range of $10 million to $20 million per year from 2022 to 2040."

"We can also report important progress in our clinical development pipeline.  During the third quarter, we submitted our amended Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for our proprietary inhaled AAT for the treatment of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD).  We expect an update from the agency on the status of this filing in the near future.  We expect to begin dosing the first patient in the Phase 3 trial in Europe before the end of 2019, and pending IND approval, we will also begin recruiting patients for this study in the U.S.," concluded Mr. London.
