Conference Call and Live Webcast Today at 8:30am ET
REHOVOT, Israel, and HOBOKEN, N.J., May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived therapies field, today announced financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
“Our operational and financial performance in 2026 is off to a solid start, with first quarter revenues and adjusted EBITDA in line with our expectations,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “Total revenues for the first quarter were $45.2 million, an increase of approximately 3% year-over-year, and adjusted EBITDA was $11.6 million, representing a robust 26% margin of revenue. Net income for the quarter was $4.1 million, up 4% year-over-year. While temporary shipment delay of a single order, subsequently delivered during April, affected first quarter financial results, importantly, the underlying demand of our products, including for KEDRAB® in the U.S. market as well as KAMRAB® and VARIZIG® in ex-U.S. markets, continues to increase, supporting our confidence for a significantly stronger remainder of 2026. We are reiterating our 2026 annual guidance of $200 million to $205 million in revenues and $50 million to $53 million of adjusted EBITDA, respectively, representing 12% and 23% growth when comparing 2026 guidance mid-points to 2025 results.”
“In 2026, our focus remains on the expansion of our entire commercial product portfolio, including our six FDA-approved specialty plasma-derived products. In our Distribution segment, growth is supported by the launch of additional biosimilar products in the Israeli market, as well our expansion of the Distribution business to the MENA region. We are ramping up plasma collection in our three FDA-approved Texas-based plasma centers, which are expected to provide significant capacity of specialty and normal source plasma collection, strengthening our vertical integration and supporting continued growth. Lastly, we continue to make progress evaluating and securing near-term new business development and M&A opportunities that will enrich our current portfolio and generate synergies with our existing commercial operations,” concluded Mr. London.
Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026
Total revenues were $45.2 million in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of 3% compared to $44.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in revenues year-over-year was primarily driven by increased sales of KEDRAB, as well as increased sales in our Distribution segment.
Gross profit and gross margins were $19.1 million and 42%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $20.7 million and 47%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2025. The reduction in gross margin year-over-year was affected by products and markets' sales mix.
Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to $13.0 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was driven by a reduction in R&D expense related to the termination of the Phase 3 InnovAATe clinical trial, offset by increases in S&M and G&A expenses related to our investments in the overall growth of the commercial product portfolio.
Net income was $4.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2026, up 4% as compared to $4.0 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025.
Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, equivalent to the adjusted EBITDA reported in the first quarter of 2025.
Cash used in operating activities was $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of March 31, 2026, Kamada had cash and cash equivalents and short-term investment totaling $73.1 million, as compared to $75.5 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company recorded $0.3 million in cash used in operating activities, net cash used in investment activities of $1.0 million, net cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million and exchange differences on balances of cash and cash equivalent of $0.2 million, collectively resulting in an overall decrease in cash balance.
Recent Corporate Highlights
Announced U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Kamada Plasma’s collection center in San Antonio, TX. The approval was obtained following an on-site inspection made by the FDA during February 2026. The center is now cleared to commence commercial sales of normal source plasma.
Announced the payment of a cash dividend of $0.25 (approximately NIS 0.77) per share on the Company’s ordinary shares (totaling approximately $14.4 million). The cash dividend was paid on April 7, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 23, 2026.
Fiscal 2026 Guidance
Kamada is reiterating its 2026 annual financial guidance of total revenues in the range of $200 million to $205 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $50 million to $53 million, representing year-over-year increase of 12% in revenues and 23% in adjusted EBITDA based on mid-point of 2026 annual guidance.
Conference Call Details
Kamada management will host an investment community conference call on Wednesday, May 13, at 8:30am Eastern Time to discuss these results and answer questions. Shareholders and other interested parties may participate in the call by dialing 1-877-407-0792 (from within the U.S.), 1-809-406-247 (from Israel), or 1-201-689- 8263 (International) using conference I.D. 13760232. The call will be webcast live on the internet at: https://viavid.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1760803&tp_key=7219e3b56c
Non-IFRS financial measures
We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we use these non-IFRS financial measures to assess our operational performance, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Management believes these non-IFRS financial measures are useful to investors because: (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations; and (2) they exclude the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to our core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our IFRS results. We expect to continue reporting non-IFRS financial measures, adjusting for the items described below, and we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-cash, non-IFRS adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under IFRS and do not purport to be an alternative to IFRS terms as an indicator of operating performance or any other IFRS measure. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus income tax expense, plus or minus financial income or expenses, net, plus or minus income or expense in respect of securities measured at fair value, net, plus or minus income or expenses in respect of currency exchange differences and derivatives instruments, net, plus depreciation and amortization expense, whereas adjusted EBITDA is the EBITDA plus non-cash share-based compensation expenses and certain other costs.
For the projected 2026 adjusted EBITDA information presented herein, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of this forward measure to the most comparable IFRS financial measure because the information for these measures is dependent on future events, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Additionally, estimating such forward-looking measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods is meaningfully difficult and requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-IFRS measures are estimated in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted in the Company’s adjusted EBITDA for historical periods.
About Kamada
Kamada Ltd. (the “Company”) is a global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived therapies field. FIMI Opportunity Funds, the leading private equity firm in Israel, is the Company’s controlling shareholder, beneficially owning approximately 38% of the outstanding ordinary shares. The Company’s strategy is focused on driving profitable growth through four primary growth pillars: First, organic growth of its commercial portfolio, including continued investment in the commercialization and life cycle management of its proprietary products, consisting of six FDA-approved specialty plasma-derived products: KEDRAB®, GLASSIA®, CYTOGAM®, VARIZIG®, WINRHO SDF® and HEPAGAM B®, as well as KAMRAB®, and two equine-based anti-snake venom products. Second, distribution of third parties' pharmaceutical products in Israel & the MENA region through in-licensing partnerships, including the launch of several biosimilar products in Israel. Third, the Company is ramping up its plasma collection operations to support revenue growth through the sale of normal source plasma to other plasma-derived manufacturers, and to support its increasing demand for hyper-immune plasma. The Company currently owns three FDA approved operating plasma collection centers in the United States, in Beaumont, Houston, and San Antonio, Texas. Fourth, the Company aims to secure new mergers and acquisitions, business development, in-licensing and/or collaboration opportunities, which are anticipated to enhance the Company’s marketed products portfolio and leverage its financial strength and existing commercial infrastructure to drive long-term profitable growth. The Company is leveraging its manufacturing, research and development expertise to advance the development and commercialization of additional product candidates, targeting areas of significant unmet medical need.

As we advance our business development initiatives, we plan to leverage our financial strength to enrich our portfolio of marketed products and support our continued long-term annual double-digit profitable growth,” added Mr. London.
“Earlier this year we announced the launch of a comprehensive post-marketing research program for CYTOGAM® with the aim of generating key data in support of the benefits of the product in the management of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in solid organ transplantation. In connection with this program, we announced last week the initiation of the investigator-initiated SHIELD study, which will be conducted by leading experts in CMV and organ transplantation, investigating the benefits of CYTOGAM administered at the conclusion of the anti-viral prophylaxis to reduce the risk of clinically significant late CMV in kidney transplant recipients,” continued Mr. London.
“We continue to invest in our plasma collection operations and recently reported the receipt of an FDA approval for our Houston facility. We are ramping up plasma collection at our three operational centers and are in active discussions with potential customers to secure long-term sales agreements for normal source plasma. Lastly, we continue to advance our ongoing pivotal Phase 3 InnovAATe clinical trial for our inhaled Alpha-1 Antitrypsin therapy, with the interim futility analysis to be conducted by the end of this year,” concluded Mr. London.
Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025
Total revenues were $47.0 million in the third quarter of 2025, up 13% compared to $41.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. Consistent with previous quarters of the year, the increase in revenues was driven by the diversity of the Company’s portfolio, primarily attributable to increased sales of GLASSIA® in ex-U.S. markets, increased sales in the Distribution segment, as well as VARIZIG® U.S. sales.
Gross profit and gross margins were $19.8 million and 42%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $17.2 million and 41%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in both metrics is attributable to the continued improved sales mix and overall increased commercial scale.
Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $11.9 million in the third quarter of 2025, consistent with the level of these expenses in the third quarter of 2024. The reduction in R&D expenses during the quarter was mainly related to development projects timing changes.
Net income was $5.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2025, up 37% as compared to $3.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $11.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, up 34% over the $8.8 million achieved in the third quarter of 2024.
Cash provided by operating activities was $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $22.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease is associated with the increase in working capital that supports the Company’s continued growth.
Financial Highlights for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Total revenues for the first nine months of 2025 were $135.8 million, an 11% increase from the $121.9 million generated in the first nine months of 2024. The overall increase in revenues was driven by the diversity of the Company’s portfolio, primarily attributable to increased sales of GLASSIA® in ex U.S. markets, increased sales in the Distribution segment, as well as VARIZIG® U.S. sales.
Gross profit and gross margins for the first nine months of 2025 were $59.4 million and 44%, respectively, compared to $52.9 million and 43%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2024. The increase in gross profit is in line with the continued improved sales mix and overall increased commercial scale.
Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $36.8 million in the first nine months of 2025, as compared to $38.0 million in the first nine months of 2024. The reduction in R&D expenses, year over-year, was mainly related to development projects timing changes.
Net income for the first nine months of 2025 was $16.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, a 56% increase as compared to net income of $10.7 million or $0.18 per diluted share, in the first nine months of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $34.2 million in the first nine months of 2025, a 35% increase as compared to $25.4 million in the first nine months of 2024.
Cash provided by operating activities during the first nine months of 2025 was approximately $17.9 million, as compared to $37.2 million during the first nine months of 2024. The decrease was associated with the increase in working capital that supports the Company’s continued growth.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of September 30, 2025, Kamada had cash and cash equivalents of $72.0 million, as compared to $78.4 million as of December 31, 2024. While cash provided by operating activities totaled $17.9 million, net cash used in investment activities of $7.1 million and net cash used in financing activities of $17.2 million, of which $11.5 million was associated with the payment of a special cash dividend, collectively resulted in an overall decrease in cash balance.
Recent Corporate Highlights
Announced that the first patient was enrolled into an investigator-initiated post-marketing clinical trial of CYTOGAM® (CMV-IGIV) to prevent late CMV infection, a common post-transplant infectious complication that remains an unaddressed medical need despite recent advances in anti-viral drug therapies. The Strategic Help with Immunoglobulin to Enhance protection against Late Disease (CMV), or SHIELD study, is a prospective, randomized, controlled multicenter investigator-initiated study in CMV high-risk kidney transplant recipients.
Announced that the FDA has approved the supplement to the Company's existing Biologics License Application (BLA) for Kamada Plasma’s collection center in Houston, TX. The approval was obtained following an on-site inspection made by the FDA during the second quarter of this year. The center is now cleared to commence commercial sales of normal source plasma. The 12,000 square foot Houston facility supports 50 donor beds, with a planned capacity of approximately 50,000 liters per year and is anticipated to be one of the largest collection centers for specialty plasma in the U.S. Kamada intends to seek a subsequent inspection and approval by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) of this site.
Fiscal 2025 Guidance
Kamada is reiterating its annual financial guidance comprising of 2025 total revenues in the range of $178 million to $182 million and adjusted EBITDA guidance in the range of $40 million to $44 million, representing double digit top- and bottom-line growth year-over-year.
Conference Call Details
Kamada's management will host an investment community conference call on Monday, November 10, at 8:30am Eastern Time to discuss these results and answer questions. Shareholders and other interested parties may participate in the call by dialing 1-877-407-0792 (from within the U.S.), 1-809-406-247 (from Israel), or 1-201-689- 8263 (International) using conference I.D. 13756537. The call will be webcast live on the internet at: https://viavid.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1738840&tp_key=92257bc662.
Non-IFRS financial measures
We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we use these non-IFRS financial measures to assess our operational performance, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Management believes these non-IFRS financial measures are useful to investors because: (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations; and (2) they exclude the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to our core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our IFRS results. We expect to continue reporting non-IFRS financial measures, adjusting for the items described below, and we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-cash, non-IFRS adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under IFRS and do not purport to be an alternative to IFRS terms as an indicator of operating performance or any other IFRS measure. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus income tax expense, plus or minus financial income or expenses, net, plus or minus income or expense in respect of securities measured at fair value, net, plus or minus income or expenses in respect of currency exchange differences and derivatives instruments, net, plus depreciation and amortization expense, whereas adjusted EBITDA is the EBITDA plus non-cash share-based compensation expenses and certain other costs.
For the projected 2025 adjusted EBITDA information presented herein, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of this forward measure to the most comparable IFRS financial measure because the information for these measures is dependent on future events, many of which are outside of the Company’s control. Additionally, estimating such forward-looking measures and providing a meaningful reconciliation consistent with the Company’s accounting policies for future periods is meaningfully difficult and requires a level of precision that is unavailable for these future periods and cannot be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Forward-looking non-IFRS measures are estimated in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted in the Company’s adjusted EBITDA for historical periods.

REHOVOT, Israel and HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd.

Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Total revenues were $42.5 million in the second quarter of 2024, a 13% increase from the prior year comparable quarter. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased sales of KEDRAB due to increased market share in the U.S., as well as increased sales of CYTOGAM due to increased demand in the U.S. market.

Net profit for the first six months of 2024 was $6.8 million, or $0.12 per share, as compared to net profit of $3,000 or less than one cent per share, in the first six months of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $16.6 million in the first six months of 2024, a 68% increase as compared to $9.9 million in the first six months of 2023.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kamada-announces-largest-commercial-agreement-120000970.html
Largest Commercial Agreement in Kamada’s History Becomes Effective in January 2024 and Includes $180 Million of Revenues to Kamada Over the First Four Years of the Eight Year Term
Financial Terms Reflect KEDRAB®'s Significant U.S. Market Share and Continued Growth Through the Eight Year Term
Agreement Includes Potential Expansion of Kedrion’s Distribution of KEDRAB in Additional Territories Beyond the U.S.
Kamada to Host a Conference Call and Live Webcast Today at 8:30 AM ET
REHOVOT, Israel and HOBOKEN, N.J., Dec. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a commercial stage global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived field, today announced the execution of a binding memorandum of understanding with Kedrion for the amendment and extension of the KEDRAB® U.S. distribution agreement between the parties. Within the first four years of the eight-year term, which begins in January 2024, Kedrion will purchase minimum quantities of KEDRAB with revenues to Kamada of approximately $180 million.
This agreement is the largest commercial agreement secured by Kamada to date, and its financial terms reflect the significant U.S. market share of KEDRAB and continued growth through the eight-year term, as well as the potential expansion of KEDRAB distribution by Kedrion to other territories beyond the U.S. In addition, the parties will collaborate to expand distribution of Kedrion products by Kamada in Israel.
“We are thrilled to secure this strategic agreement with Kedrion as it represents our largest commercial agreement since Kamada's inception,” said Amir London, CEO of Kamada. “Based on Kedrion’s extensive market coverage and on-going success in marketing KEDRAB in the U.S., as well as the significant market share growth achieved to date, we are confident that the continuation of this partnership maximizes the future growth and value potential of this important product. Moreover, this agreement most effectively maximizes our U.S. business by allowing us to focus our own internal sales efforts on the commercialization of our other specialized FDA-approved IgG products, primarily in transplant centers, while Kedrion continues to promote KEDRAB in numerous hospitals and medical centers across the U.S.”
“We are excited about our extended partnership with Kamada, a significant step in our commitment to hyperimmune therapies,” said Ugo Di Francesco, CEO of Kedrion Biopharma. “This collaboration emphasizes Kedrion's dedication to providing KEDRAB to U.S. patients, and we look forward to maximizing the success of the product and exploring opportunities for further expansion, delivering essential medical solutions where they are needed most.”
During 2022, Kamada generated approximately $16 million in revenues from sales of KEDRAB to Kedrion for distribution in the U.S. market. Kamada expects a substantial increase in sales of the product to Kedrion for full-year 2023.

About KEDRAB®
KEDRAB® [Rabies Immune Globulin (Human)] is a human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) indicated for passive, transient post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) of rabies infection in persons of all ages when given immediately after contact with a rabid or possibly rabid animal. KEDRAB should be administered concurrently with a full course of rabies vaccine.
KEDRAB was approved by the FDA in August, 2017. KEDRAB is supplied in single-dose vials containing 2 mL or 10 mL of ready-to-use solution with a nominal potency of 150 IU/mL.
Important Safety Information:
Severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur with KEDRAB. IgA deficient patients with antibodies against IgA are at greater risk. Have epinephrine available immediately to treat any acute severe hypersensitivity reactions.
KEDRAB administration may interfere with the development of an immune response to live attenuated virus vaccines. If feasible, delay immunization with measles vaccine for 4 months, and other live attenuated virus vaccines for 3 months, after KEDRAB administration.
A transient rise of the various passively transferred antibodies in the patient’s blood may result in misleading positive results of serologic tests after KEDRAB administration. Passive transmission of antibodies to erythrocyte antigens, e.g., A, B, and D, may interfere with serologic tests for red cell antibodies such as the antiglobulin test (Coombs’ test).
KEDRAB is made from human plasma donors and may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses, the variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) agent and, theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent.
Please see KEDRAB full prescribing Information for complete prescribing details. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Conference Call and Live Webcast Today at 8:30 AM ET
REHOVOT, Israel and HOBOKEN, N.J., Nov. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a commercial stage global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived field, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
“We are highly encouraged with our strong financial and operational momentum during the first nine months of the year,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “With total revenues of $106.1 million, which represent year-over-year growth of 26%, and adjusted EBITDA of $17.7 million, an increase of 67% as compared to the first nine months of 2022, we achieved the top- and bottom-line growth anticipated in our business in the first nine months of the year. We continue to effectively leverage our multiple growth drivers, including a significant increase in sales of our anti-rabies immunoglobulin product, KEDRAB® as well as the portfolio of the four FDA-approved immunoglobulins (CYTOGAM®, HEPAGAMB®, VARIZIG® and WINRHO® SDF), and our Israeli distribution business.”
“We expect the momentum from the first nine months of the year to extend through the fourth quarter of 2023, with annual profitability to be further meaningfully enhanced as compared to last year. As such, we are reiterating our full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $138 million to $146 million and adjusted EBITDA of $22 million to $26 million; the mid-point of the range would represent profitability growth of approximately 35% over 2022,” continued Mr. London.
“During the recent period we reported multiple achievements with CYTOGAM. Specifically, following recent FDA approval of the technology transfer process, CYTOGAM manufactured at our Israeli facility is now available for commercial sale in U.S., and new clinical data highlighting five-year real-world survival benefits of high risk CMV mismatch lung transplant patients receiving CYTOGAM were presented at IDWeek 2023. In addition, we continue to advance our pivotal phase 3 InnovAATe trial for Inhaled AAT and we recently received positive feedback from the independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) which recommended study continuation without modification for the sixth time since study initiation, based on encouraging safety data observed in the study to date,” added Mr. London.
“Our future prospects were also recently further buoyed by the recent closing of our $60 million private placement with FIMI Opportunity Funds. This strategic investment provides us with financial flexibility to pursue compelling business development opportunities, a process that we are currently engaged in,” concluded Mr. London.

Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $33.8 million in the first nine months of 2023, as compared to $30.9 million in the prior year period. S&M costs, for the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, included $1.2 million of depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition. The increase in operating expenses was attributable to an increase in S&M costs associated with the acquired portfolio commercial operation, as well as increased R&D costs, primarily due to advancing the pivotal Phase 3 InnovAATe trial for Inhaled AAT.
Net income for the first nine months of 2023 was $3.2 million, or $0.07 per share, as compared to net loss of $5.3 million, or $(0.12) per share, in the prior year period.
Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $17.7 million in the first nine months of 2023, a 67% increase as compared to $10.6 million in the first nine months of 2022.
Cash used in operating activities during the first nine months of 2023 was approximately $0.1 million, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $21.8 million during the first nine months of 2022. The change correlates to the changes in the Company’s working capital and supports overall growth.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $52.6 million, as compared to $34.3 million as of December 31, 2022. This includes the net proceeds of $58.2 million received from the $60 million financing closed during the third quarter. In addition, during the third quarter the Company made a $17.4 million pay-down in full the outstanding balance of a bank loan. The Company is currently debt free.
Recent Corporate Highlights
Received shareholder approval for and subsequently closed $60 million private placement with FIMI Opportunity Funds.
Announced multiple achievements with CYTOGAM, including the availability of product manufactured by Kamada for U.S. commercial sale, presented new clinical data highlighting five-year real-world survival benefits of high risk CMV mismatch lung transplant patients receiving CYTOGAM, and the establishment of a Scientific Advisory Board focused on U.S. clinical programs for CYTOGAM.
The Company continues to conduct its business operations in Israel with no effect on business continuity, and its global supply of products is not expected to be interrupted as a result of the recent events in Israel.
Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance
Kamada continues to expect to generate fiscal year 2023 total revenues in the range of $138 million to $146 million. The Company also continues to anticipate generating adjusted EBITDA during 2023 in the range of $22 million to $26 million, the mid-point of the range would represent profitability growth of approximately 35% over 2022.
Conference Call
Kamada management will host an investment community conference call on Monday, November 13, at 8:30am Eastern Time to discuss these results and answer questions. Shareholders and other interested parties may participate in the conference call by dialing 1-877-407-0792 (from within the U.S.), 1 809-406-247 (from Israel), or 1 201-689-8263 (International) and entering the conference identification number: 13741701.

Non-IFRS financial measures
We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we use this non-IFRS financial measure to assess our operational performance, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Management believes this non-IFRS financial measure are useful to investors because: (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations; and (2) they exclude the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to our core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our IFRS results. We expect to continue reporting non-IFRS financial measures, adjusting for the items described below, and we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-cash, non-IFRS adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under IFRS and do not purport to be an alternative to IFRS terms as an indicator of operating performance or any other IFRS measure. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are defined as net income (loss), plus income tax expense, plus or minus financial income or expenses, net, plus or minus income or expense in respect of securities measured at fair value, net, plus or minus income or expenses in respect of currency exchange differences and derivatives instruments, net, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus non-cash share-based compensation expenses and certain other costs.

Conference Call and Live Webcast Today at 8:30 AM ET
REHOVOT, Israel and Hoboken, N.J., May 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a commercial stage global biopharmaceutical company, with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived field, today announced financial results for three months ended March 31, 2023.
“We are off to an excellent start to 2023, both financially and operationally,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “With total revenues in the first quarter of $30.7 million, which represented year-over-year growth of 9%, and EBITDA of $3.8 million, an increase of 16% year-over-year, we achieved the top- and bottom-line growth anticipated in our business to begin the year. Importantly, we continue to effectively leverage multiple growth drivers, including KEDRAB® sales in the U.S, the profitable portfolio of four FDA approved IgGs acquired in late 2021, the sales of our other Proprietary products in the international markets, and our Israeli distribution business.”
“While our first quarter results are impressive, we are equally excited about our outlook for the remainder of the year,” continued Mr. London. “As such, we are reiterating our full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $138 million to $146 million and EBITDA guidance of $22 million to $26 million, which would represent profitability growth of over 30% as compared to 2022. Looking beyond 2023, based on multiple catalysts from our existing business, we continue to anticipate annual double-digit growth rate in revenues and profitability in the foreseeable years ahead.”
“Our prospects were recently further significantly enhanced by the successful completion of multiple key achievements. The $60 million financing agreement signed with FIMI will provide us with financial flexibility, allowing us to accelerate the growth of our existing business and pursue compelling business development opportunities. Moreover, regarding our existing business, the FDA approval to manufacture CYTOGAM® at our facility in Israel, and the initiation of our commercial manufacturing, will positively impact our facility’s utilization and efficiency. In addition, we are encouraged by the most recent progress achieved in our ongoing pivotal Phase 3 InnovAATe clinical trial for the inhaled Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) therapy for the treatment of Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (AATD). The study has enrolled 60 patients to date and the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) recently recommended study continuation without modification for the fifth time since study initiation,” concluded Mr. London.
Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023
Total revenues were $30.7 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $28.1 million in the first quarter of 2022, representing a 9% increase year-over-year.
Gross profit and gross margins were $11.8 million and 39%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $11.3 million and 40%, respectively, reported in the prior year period. Cost of goods sold in the Company’s Proprietary segment in the first quarter of 2023 included $1.3 million of depreciation expenses associated with intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition. Gross profit and gross margins, excluding such intangible assets depreciation, would have been $13.2 million and 43%, respectively, compared to $12.6 million and 45%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2022.
Operating expenses, including R&D, Sales & Marketing (S&M), G&A and other expenses (including excess severance remuneration described below), totaled $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $11.1 million in the first quarter of 2022.

As a result of this downsizing, the Company incurred an expense of $0.6 million for excess severance remuneration provided to employees who were laid off. The downsizing is expected to result in an annualized reduction of approximately 6% in the overall Israeli labor costs.
Finance expense, net for the first quarter of 2023 included a $1.8 million expense associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities assumed as part of the IgG products acquisition.

Net loss was $1.8 million, or $(0.04) per share, in the first quarter of 2023, in line with a net loss of $1.8 million, or $(0.04) per share, in the first quarter of 2022. Excluding depreciation expenses of intangible assets and finance expenses of the contingent consideration and other assumed long-term liabilities associated with the acquired IgG products, the Company would have recorded net income of $1.7 million, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share in the first quarter of 2022.
EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, representing a 16% increase year-over-year.
Excluding the $0.6 million expense of the excess severance remuneration paid to the employees who were laid off, EBITDA would have been $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, representing a 33% increase year-over-year.
Cash used by operating activities was $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Kamada Issues 2023 CEO Letter to Shareholders
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kamada-issues-2023-ceo-letter-111000051.html
REHOVOT, Israel and HOBOKEN, N.J., March 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a commercial stage global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived field, today issued a Letter to Shareholders from Amir London, Chief Executive Officer.
Dear Shareholders, Colleagues and Business Partners:
The recently completed 2022 year was a transformational period for Kamada as we embarked on a new and exciting chapter in the Company’s evolution. Most importantly, we have now completed our rapid transition from our historical dependence on GLASSIA® sales to Takeda to a diversified, fully integrated specialty plasma company with six U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved proprietary products and strong commercial capabilities in the U.S. market, as well as a global sales footprint in over 30 countries.
Earlier today, we reported our full-year 2022 financial results, which met our annual guidance, with total revenues of $129.3 million and EBITDA of $17.8 million, representing margins of 14%. Our strong performance in 2022 represented year-over-year revenue growth of 25%, and a 3x increase in EBITDA.
Moreover, we generated a record operating cash flow of $28.6 million during 2022, supporting the increase in our cash position to $34.3 million as of December 31, 2022.
Looking ahead, we expect the momentum from 2022 to extend throughout 2023, with profitability to be further increased as compared to the past year. As such, we are introducing full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $138 million to $146 million and EBITDA of $22 million to $26 million; the mid-point expected EBITDA represents approximately 35% growth year-over-year.
Our impressive results in 2022, and positive outlook for this year, are the consequence of our ability to leverage multiple growth drivers, including the portfolio of four FDA approved IgGs, acquired in late 2021, KEDRAB® sales in the U.S., GLASSIA royalties from Takeda, other Proprietary products sales in the international markets, and our thriving Israeli distribution business.
These significant catalysts are driving our annual double-digit growth, with significant upside potential and limited downside risk.
The November 2021 acquisition of the four FDA approved IgGs, consisting of CYTOGAM®, HEPAGAMB®, VARIZIG® and WINRHO®SDF, following a thorough search for the ideal assets for Kamada, was a critical strategic and synergistic advancement for the Company. Full-year 2022 revenues of the acquired portfolio increased by 24% as compared to full-year 2021. This portfolio is generating over 50% gross margins. I am pleased to report that we anticipate continued growth in the portfolio's revenues in 2023 and beyond.
During 2022, as part of the establishment of our direct presence in the U.S. market, we deployed a team of U.S.-based experienced sales and medical affairs professionals who have rapidly established our operations in this key market. The U.S. sales team is making good progress in promoting our portfolio of specialty plasma-derived IgG products to physicians and other healthcare practitioners through direct engagement and opportunities at medical conventions. The Medical Affairs team is working to educate physicians, while addressing their scientific and clinical inquiries, including participating in major medical conferences in the U.S. We are also leveraging our existing strong international distribution network to grow product revenue in new territories, primarily in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Our achievements with these key products in 2022 included winning a new $11.4 million procurement agreement for VARIZIG from an international organization operating principally in Latin America and securing a $22 million extension of a Canadian supply tender.
CYTOGAM is the largest of the four acquired products. The product is indicated for the prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus disease associated with solid organs transplantation. This proprietary and unique therapy is the only FDA approved IgG product for its indication. We recently submitted an application to the FDA to manufacture CYTOGAM at our plant in Israel, and we expect to receive regulatory approval to do so by mid-2023. The anticipated FDA approval will mark the successful conclusion of the technology transfer process for the product from its previous manufacturer, CSL Behring. The ability to manufacture the product at our facility will positively impact our plant utilization and efficiency.
KEDRAB, marketed in the U.S. by Kedrion, continued to gain market share during 2022 in the U.S., a market which is estimated to be $150 million annually. With Kamada’s support, Kedrion's commercial team successfully leveraged the FDA approval obtained in 2021 for a label expansion for the product that helped differentiate it as the first and only human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG) available in the U.S. to be clinically studied in children. We anticipate that sales of the product will continue to grow significantly over the next few years.
During 2022, as planned, we began receiving royalties from Takeda based on sales of GLASSIA. We expect royalties in the range of $10 million to $20 million per year through 2040, which will support our profitability and cash position. In addition, we continue to grow sales of GLASSIA in international markets through our local partners.
Another major strategic step we are taking is the advancement of our plasma collection business through our wholly owned subsidiary, Kamada Plasma, based in Texas. Last year, we expanded the hyperimmune plasma collection capacity at our first center and are currently advancing our plan to open additional centers in the U.S. to further enhance our supply of specialty and regular plasma.
We are also very excited about our innovative investigational Inhaled AAT product candidate for the treatment of AAT Deficiency, a technology which has shown to be highly effective in delivering AAT directly into a patient’s lungs. A substantial opportunity exists for Inhaled AAT to be a transformational product in a market that is already over $1 billion in annual sales in the U.S. and EU. We are currently conducting the InnovAATe clinical trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal Phase 3 study. During 2022, we began to accelerate trial recruitment with seven clinical sites now open and enrolling patients. In November 2022, the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) recommended that the study continue without modification for the fourth time since study initiation. Moreover, based on encouraging safety observed to date, the study inclusion criteria were revised to also include patients with severe airflow limitation. During 2023, we intend to continue expediting trial recruitment, as well as meet with the FDA and the European Medicines Agency to discuss study progress and potential opportunities to shorten the regulatory pathways.
In our distribution segment, we are leveraging our expertise and strong presence in the Israeli market to register, market and distribute more than 25 products that are developed and manufactured by our international partners. In recent years, we have significantly grown our pipeline of distributed products and, in 2023, we anticipate continuing to launch new therapies across multiple medical specialties. An area of key strategic focus in this business is the planned distribution of a portfolio of 11 biosimilar products, expected to be launched upon receipt of Israeli regulatory approval, through 2028, with overall annual anticipated peak sales, within several years of launch, of more than $40 million. Included in this portfolio are 8 products through a distribution agreement with Alvotech, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of biosimilar drugs.
In closing, 2022 was a year of significant progress for Kamada during which we executed on a rapid financial turnaround of the Company by leveraging multiple robust value-creating catalysts, and we are well-positioned for further substantial revenue and profitability growth in 2023 and the years beyond with substantial upside potential and limited downside risk as a global leader in the specialty plasma industry. Importantly, looking past 2023, based on our multiple catalysts, we continue to project annual double-digit growth in revenues and profits in the foreseeable years ahead.
On behalf of the entire Kamada team, we look forward to continuing to support patients and clinicians with the important lifesaving products that we develop, manufacture, and commercialize. We thank all of our investors for their support and remain committed to creating long-term shareholder value.
Sincerely,
Amir London
Chief Executive Officer

REHOVOT, Israel and Hoboken, N.J., March 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a commercial stage global biopharmaceutical company with a portfolio of marketed products indicated for rare and serious conditions and a leader in the specialty plasma-derived field, today announced financial results for the 12 and three months ended December 31, 2022.
“The success of our rapid strategic transformation to a diversified, fully integrated specialty plasma company is evidenced by our impressive full-year 2022 financial results,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “We met our 2022 revenue and profitability guidance, with total revenues of $129.3 million, which represented 25% growth compared to 2021, and EBITDA of $17.8 million, a 3x increase over 2021. Moreover, we generated operating cash flow of $28.6 million during 2022, supporting the increase in our cash position to $34.3 million as of December 31, 2022. These impressive results were driven by our ability to leverage multiple growth drivers, including the portfolio of four FDA approved IgGs acquired in late 2021, the sales of which increased 24% year over year in 2022, KEDRAB sales in the U.S., GLASSIA royalties from Takeda, the sales of our other Proprietary products in the international markets, and our thriving Israeli distribution business,” continued Mr. London.
“Importantly, we expect the momentum from 2022 to extend throughout 2023, with profitability to be further enhanced. As such, we are introducing full-year 2023 revenue guidance of $138 million to $146 million and EBITDA guidance of $22 million to $26 million. Mid-point expected EBITDA represents approximately 35% growth year over year. Moreover, our multiple catalysts are anticipated to drive annual double-digit growth in the foreseeable years ahead, with significant upside potential and limited downside risk," concluded Mr. London.
Financial Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2022
Total revenues were $129.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $103.6 million recorded in the year ended December 31, 2021.The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to sales of the acquired four IgG products.
Gross profit and gross margins were $46.7 million and 36%, respectively, in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $30.3 million and 29%, respectively, reported in the year ended December 31, 2021. Gross profit and gross margins in 2022, excluding intangible assets depreciation in the amount of $5.3 million would have been $52.0 million and 40%, respectively, representing a significant increase year-over-year.
Operating expenses, including R&D, Sales & Marketing (S&M), G&A and other expenses, totaled $42.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $31.0 million in the prior year. This increase was attributable to an increase in S&M costs associated with the recently acquired portfolio, as well as increased R&D costs, primarily due to advancing the pivotal Phase 3 InnovAATe trial for Inhaled AAT through the opening of new clinical sites and the manufacturing of clinical supply for the study. S&M costs for the year ended December 31, 2022, included $1.7 million of depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition.
Finance expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2022, included $6.3 million of expenses associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities, assumed as part of the IgG products acquisition. For more information with respect to such contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities please refer to Note 5 of the Company’s 2022 financial statements included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on March 15, 2023, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Net loss was $2.3 million, or $(0.05) per share in the year ended December 31, 2022. Excluding depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the recent acquisition, and finance expense associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration and other assumed long-term liabilities, the Company would have recorded net income of $11.0 million, or $0.25 per share, in the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to net loss of $2.2 million, or $(0.05) per share, in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $17.8 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to $5.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, representing an over 3x increase year-over-year, and 14% margins, which was in line with Kamada’s annual guidance.
Cash provided by operating activities was $28.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, as compared to cash used in operating activities of ($8.8) million in the prior year.
Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2022
Total revenues were $45.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, a 44% increase from the prior year period. Total revenues during the fourth quarter of 2022 included strong sales from the portfolio of four acquired FDA-approved IgG products.
Gross profit and gross margins were $15.3 million and 34%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $6.6 million and 21%, respectively, reported in the prior year period. The increase in profitability was driven by a positive product sales mix, including sales of the four new IgG products, KEDRAB U.S sales and GLASSIA royalties. Cost of goods sold in the Company’s Proprietary segment in the fourth quarter of 2022 included $1.3 million of depreciation expenses associated with intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition. Gross profit and gross margins, excluding such intangible assets depreciation, would have been $16.6 million and 37%, respectively.
Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $11.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to $9.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was attributable to increased S&M costs associated with expanded U.S. commercial operations. S&M costs for the fourth quarter of 2022 included $0.4 million of depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition.
Finance expense, net for the fourth quarter of 2022 included $0.3 million of expenses associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities assumed as part of the IgG products acquisition.
Net income was $2.9 million, or $0.07 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding depreciation expenses of intangible assets mentioned above and finance expense associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration and other assumed long-term liabilities, the Company would have recorded net income of $5.0 million, or $0.11 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to a net loss of ($5.0) million, or $(0.11) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $7.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to ($1.3) million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Cash provided by operating activities was $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, as compared to cash used in operating activities of ($5.0) million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $34.3 million, as compared to $18.6 million on December 31, 2021. The increase in Kamada’s cash position was driven by continued positive operational cash flows, which is indicative of the significant momentum in the Company’s commercial operations.
Recent Corporate Highlights
Submitted applications to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and to Health Canada to manufacture CYTOGAM® (Cytomegalovirus Immune Globulin Intravenous [Human]) (CMV-IGIV) at Kamada’s facility in Beit Kama, Israel.
Reported on progress achieved in the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of inhaled AAT, InnovAATe, including acceleration in trial recruitment, a successful DSMB meeting, encouraging safety data observed to date, and the intention to meet with the FDA and European Medicines Agency during first half of 2023 to discuss study progress and potential opportunities to shorten the regulatory pathway.
Fiscal Year 2023 Guidance
Kamada currently expects to generate fiscal year 2023 total revenues in the range of $138 million to $146 million and EBITDA in the range of $22 million to $26 million; mid-point expected EBITDA represents approximately 35% growth year-over-year.
Conference Call
Kamada management will host an investment community conference call and webcast with slides on Wednesday, March 15, at 8:30 AM Eastern Time to discuss these results and answer questions. Shareholders and other interested parties may participate in the conference call by dialing 1-877-407-0792 (from within the U.S.) 1 809-406-247 (from Israel) or 1 201-689-8263 (International). The live webcast will be available on the Internet at:

Non-IFRS financial measures
We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income, plus (i) tax expense, (ii) financial income (expense), net, (iii) depreciation and amortization; and (iv) non-cash share-based compensation expenses, because we use this non-IFRS financial measure to assess our operational performance, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Management believes this non-IFRS financial measure are useful to investors because: (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations; and (2) they exclude the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to our core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our IFRS results. We expect to continue reporting non-IFRS financial measures, adjusting for the items described below, and we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-cash, non-IFRS adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under IFRS and do not purport to be an alternative to IFRS terms as an indicator of operating performance or any other IFRS measure. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are defined as net income (loss), plus income tax expense, plus or minus financial income or expenses, net, plus or minus income or expense in respect of securities measured at fair value, net, plus or minus income or expenses in respect of currency exchange differences and derivatives instruments, net, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus non-cash share-based compensation expenses and certain other costs.

(NASDAQ & TASE: KMDA), a vertically integrated global biopharmaceutical company, focused on specialty plasma-derived therapeutics, announced today that the Company was awarded an extension of an existing tender from the Canadian Blood Services (CBS) for the supply of four IgG products, CYTOGAM®, HEPAGAM®, VARIZIG® and WINRHO® SDF, for an additional three years for an approximate total value of $22 million. This award secures the ongoing sales of those products in the Canadian market. The four commercial products, approved by Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), were acquired by Kamada in November 2021. CBS manages the Canadian supply of blood products for all Canadian provinces and territories, excluding Quebec. The extension with CBS is for a three-year period, commencing on April 1, 2023, with an option to extend for up to two additional years.
“This award, together with KAMRAB® as the primary anti-Rabies IgG product used in Canada, validates our position as the leading specialty IgG company in that important geography,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “This achievement represents the second significant tender we have recently secured, following the new $11.4 million supply agreement won for VARIZIG from an international organization operating principally in Latin America. We remain confident that significant commercial potential exists for our IgG portfolio in international markets and intend to continue pursuing additional contracts in key strategic territories."
Commercial manufacturing of CYTOGAM at Kamada’s Israeli manufacturing plant is expected to be initiated during 2023, following anticipated FDA and Health Canada approvals of the ongoing tech transfer process. HEPAGAM, VARIZIG and WINRHO SDF are manufactured by Emergent BioSolutions (NYSE: EBS) at its facility in Winnipeg, MB, Canada, under a contract development and manufacturing service agreement.

Significant Revenue and Profitability Growth Expected in Second Half of 2022, Supporting the Reiteration of Fiscal Year 2022 Revenue Guidance of $125 - $135 Million, Representing a 20% to 30% Increase over 2021 and Adjusted EBITDA Margins Anticipated Between 12%-15%, More Than 2.5x Over 2021 Adjusted EBITDA
REHOVOT, Israel, and HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a vertically integrated global biopharmaceutical company, focused on specialty plasma-derived therapeutics, today announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
“We continue to be highly encouraged by the performance of our business in 2022, and believe it is a testament to our ability to rapidly transition from our past dependency on GLASSIA® sales to Takeda to a diversified fully integrated commercial company and a global leader in the plasma-derived specialty market," said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our recently acquired portfolio of four FDA-approved IgGs, consisting of CYTOGAM®, HEPAGAM B®, VARIZIG® and WINRHO®SDF, continues to gain traction in the U.S. and international markets, and delivered strong sales and gross margins of more than 50% in the first half of the year. We are focused on growing the new portfolio’s revenues through on-going promotional activities in the U.S. and expect these marketing efforts to bear fruit commencing in the second half of 2022. We also anticipate meaningful growth outside the U.S. from these products in the second half of the year, which is expected to include approximately half of the total revenues anticipated from the recently announced $11.4 million international VARIZIG supply agreement.”
“Based on our expectation of significant revenue growth and enhanced profitability in the second half of the year, we are reiterating our full-year 2022 financial guidance, which represents a 20% to 30% increase over 2021 revenue and more than 2.5x over 2021 adjusted EBITDA. Our outlook for a stronger second half of the year is driven by multiple key factors, including anticipated continued growth of the new IgG portfolio, including sales boosted by the new VARIZIG supply agreement, and the expected growth of KEDRAB® sales to Kedrion supporting the product continued increased in-market sales during 2022. In addition, total revenues in the second half of the year will include two full quarters of GLASSIA royalty income, as compared to only four months in the first half of the year. Second half profitability will continue to be driven by the new IgG products and KEDRAB sales, all of which generate more than 50% gross margins, and the GLASSIA royalty, which represents pure profit. Moreover, the now concluded labor strike will have a substantially reduced impact on the second half of the year profitability as compared to the first half,” continued Mr. London.
“Lastly, we continue to forecast growth at a double-digit rate in the foreseeable years beyond 2022, driven by our proprietary product catalysts, our plasma collection operations, GLASSIA's royalties and the planned launch of 11 biosimilar products in Israel. In addition, we continue to advance our inhaled AAT pivotal phase 3 trial with the opening of additional clinical sites and recruitment of patients to the study," concluded Mr. London.
Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022
Total revenues were $23.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, a 3% decrease from the $24.2 million recorded in the second quarter of 2021. Total revenues during the second quarter of 2022 included strong sales from the portfolio of the four FDA-approved commercial products recently acquired, which grew meaningfully year-over-year and as compared to the first quarter of 2022. Total revenues included $3.7 million of sales-based royalty income from Takeda based on GLASSIA sales in the U.S., which was in line with management’s expectations. A portion of the sales derived from products manufactured at the Israel facility were delayed to the second half of the year due to the work stoppage that was settled in mid-July.
Gross profit and gross margins were $7.2 million and 31%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $9.1 million and 37%, respectively, reported in the second quarter of 2021. Gross profit for the second quarter of 2022 was impacted by a loss of $3.3 million related to the recently concluded labor strike. As the labor strike concluded in July 2022, a subsequent portion of the strike-related loss will be recognized in the third quarter. Cost of goods sold in the Company’s Proprietary segment in the second quarter of 2022 included $1.4 million of depreciation expenses associated with intangible assets generated through the recent acquisition of the portfolio of four FDA-approved commercial products. Gross profit and gross margins, excluding such intangible assets depreciation and the loss related to the labor strike, would have been $11.9 million and 51%, respectively, representing a significant increase year-over-year.
Operating expenses, including R&D, Sales & Marketing (S&M), G&A and other expenses, totaled $9.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. This increase was attributable to increased S&M costs associated with the recently acquired portfolio of four FDA-approved commercial products distribution and commercial operations. S&M costs for the quarter included $0.4 million of depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the recent acquisition.
Finance expense, net for the second quarter of 2022 included a $1.9 million expense associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities assumed as part of the recent acquisition of the portfolio of the four FDA-approved commercial products. For more information with respect to such contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities, please refer to Note 5 of the Company’s 2021 financial statements included in the 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed on March 15, 2022, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Net loss was $3.9 million, or $(0.09) per share, in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to net income of $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share, in the second quarter of 2021. Excluding loss associated with the labor strike, depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the recent acquisition and finance expense associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration and other assumed long-term liabilities, the Company would have recorded net income of $3.0 million, or $0.07 per share, in the second quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding loss associated with the labor strike, would have been $4.7 million, representing 20% of revenues.
Cash provided by operating activities was $10.9 million in the second quarter of 2022, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2021.
Financial Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Total revenues for the first six months of 2022 were $51.7 million, a 5% increase from the $49.1 million generated in the first six months of 2021.
Gross profit and gross margins for the first six months of 2022 were $18.5 million and 36%, respectively, compared to $18.0 million and 37%, respectively, in the first half of 2021. Gross profit and gross margins in the first six months of 2022, excluding intangible assets depreciation and the loss related to the recently concluded labor strike, would have been $24.6 million and 48%, respectively, representing a significant increase year-over-year.
Operating expenses, including R&D, S&M, G&A and other expenses, totaled $20.6 million in the first six months of 2022, as compared to $14.6 million in the first half of 2021. This increase was attributable to an increase in S&M costs associated with the recently acquired portfolio distribution and commercial operation, as well as increased R&D costs, primarily due to advancing the pivotal phase 3 InnovAATe trial for Inhaled AAT through the opening of new clinical sites and the manufacturing of clinical supply for the study. S&M costs for the first six months included $0.8 million of depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the recent acquisition.
Finance expense, net for the first six months of 2022 included a $3.9 million expense associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration and other long-term liabilities, assumed as part of the recent acquisition of the portfolio of the four FDA-approved commercial products.
Net loss for the first six months of 2022 was $5.8 million, or $(0.13) per share, as compared to net income of $3.6 million, or $0.08 per share, in the prior year period. Excluding loss associated with the labor strike, depreciation expenses of intangible assets generated through the recent acquisition and finance expense associated with the revaluation of the contingent consideration and other assumed long-term liabilities, the Company would have recorded net income of $5.0 million, or $0.11 per share, in the first six months of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $4.6 million in the first six months of 2022, as compared to $6.2 million in the first six months of 2021. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding loss associated with the labor strike, would have been $8.0 million, representing a 15% margin, which would have been in line with Kamada’s annual guidance.
Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of 2022 was approximately $16.4 million, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $1.2 million during the first six months of 2021.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $29.9 million, as compared to $18.6 million as of December 31, 2021. The increase was due to positive operational cash flows. Kamada’s working capital as of June 30, 2022, comprising of current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments) net of current liabilities, totaled $39.0 million.
Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance
Kamada continues to expect to generate fiscal year 2022 total revenues in the range of $125 million to $135 million, which would represent a 20% to 30% growth compared to fiscal year 2021. The Company also anticipates generating adjusted EBITDA during 2022 at a rate of 12% to 15% of total revenues, representing more than 2.5x of the adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Recent Corporate Highlights
Secured an $11.4 million agreement to supply VARIZIG® to an undisclosed international organization, operating principally in Latin America. The supply of the product is expected to occur from the fourth quarter of 2022 through the first half of 2023.
Strengthened senior management team through promotions of Shavit Beladev to Vice President responsible for the Company’s Plasma Operations, and Boris Gorelik to Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Programs. These promotions further Kamada’s commitment to becoming a fully integrated global leader in the specialty plasma derived therapeutics market.

Shareholders and other interested parties may participate in the conference call by dialing 1-877-407-0792 (from within the U.S.), 1 809-406-247 (from Israel), or 1 201-689-8263 (International) and entering the conference identification number: 13732049.

Non-IFRS financial measures
We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we use this non-IFRS financial measure to assess our operational performance, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Management believes this non-IFRS financial measure are useful to investors because: (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations; and (2) they exclude the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to our core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our IFRS results. We expect to continue reporting non-IFRS financial measures, adjusting for the items described below, and we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-cash, non-IFRS adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under IFRS and do not purport to be an alternative to IFRS terms as an indicator of operating performance or any other IFRS measure. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are defined as net income (loss), plus income tax expense, plus or minus financial income or expenses, net, plus or minus income or expense in respect of securities measured at fair value, net, plus or minus income or expenses in respect of currency exchange differences and derivatives instruments, net, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus non-cash share-based compensation expenses and certain other costs.

00:28 It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Bob Yedid with LifeSci Advisors. Thank you, Bob. You may begin.
Bob Yedid
00:36 Thank you Paul and good morning and good afternoon to everyone. Thank you all for participating in today’s call. Joining me from Kamada are Amir London, Chief Executive Officer; and Chaime Orlev, Chief Financial Officer.

Kamada undertakes no obligation to revise or update any statements to reflect the events or circumstances after the date of this conference call.
02:09 With those prepared remarks, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Amir London, CEO. Amir?
Amir London
02:17 Thank you, Bob. My thanks also to our investors and analysts for your interest in Kamada and for participating in today's call. The recently completed 2021 year was a transformational period for Kamada in our path to becoming a global leader in the plasma derived specialty markets.
02:39 Following the completion of the planned manufacturing transition of GLASSIA to Takeda, our recent acquisition of the portfolio of Four FDA-approved commercial immunoglobulins and the establishment of Kamada Plasma, our U.S. based plasma collection company, we are embarking on a new and exciting chapter in the company’s evolution.
02:39 We are building on the strong foundation established over the years entering 2022 as a new Kamada, a full-integrated specialty plasma company with six FDA-approved products and strong commercial capabilities in the U.S. market, as well as global commercial footprint in over 30 countries.
03:26 Our business performed as expected in 2021 and we look ahead to 2022 for which our revenue guidance is between $125 million to $135 million, representing a 20% to 30% growth, compared to 2021, with expected EBITDA margins of 12% to 15%, which would represent more than 2.5x of the 2021 EBITDA.
04:01 This strong guidance reflects the benefits stemmed from our new strategic direction and the resumption of revenue and profitability growth in 2022. Importantly, we further expect continued growth at a double-digit rate in the coming few years.
04:20 The completed in November 2021 following a thorough sales for the ideal assets for Kamada was a critical strategic and synergistic step for the company. The acquired products generated revenues exceeding $40 million in 2021, with over 50% gross margins, and we anticipate significantly growing the new portfolio revenues through proactive promotional activities in the U.S, where our newly established subsidiary, Kamada Inc., is responsible for the commercialization and direct sales of the products.
04:55 We also intend to leverage our existing strong international distribution network to grow product revenues in new territories, primarily in Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. I’m pleased to report that these promotional and sales activities have already commenced.
05:13 Just yesterday, we announced that Jon Knight joined us as Vice President, U.S. Commercial Operations, to lead commercial activities for portfolio of innovative medicines. Jon’s vast commercial leadership experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, primarily focus on driving sales of innovative specialty plasma products will be instrumental to our initiatives aimed at further penetrating the U.S. markets with our expanded product line.
05:43 We intend to actively promote this compelling product to hospitals and physicians throughout the U.S. As such, we are also in the process of hiring a focused team of experienced sales and medical experts with established relationship with relevant U.S. Healthcare providers.
06:04 Of the full acquired product, the largest is Cytogam, indicated for the prophylaxis of CMV disease associated with solid organs transplantation. This proprietary and unique product is the only FDA-approved IgG product for its indication. The [manufacturing] [ph] process for Cytogam is already well underway, and we expect to receive FDA approval for its production at our Israeli facility by early 2023.
06:35 Moreover, based on the Cytogam manufacturing transfer, we expected growth of KedRAB, our anti-Rabies hyperimmune product, and planned manufacturing transition of the other acquired products over the next few years, we anticipate improving the gross margins of our proprietary products by effectively utilizing our plant capacity.
06:59 Another major strategic step taken is the acquisition of a plasma collection facility in Texas, in early 2021, which primarily specializes in the collection of hyper-immune plasma used for Anti-D immunoglobulin, a product manufactured by Kamada and distributed in the international markets. This acquisition represented Kamada’s entry into the U.S. plasma collection market and supported our strategic goal of becoming a fully integrated specialty plasma company.
07:36 We are already actively engaged in the expansion of the hyper-immune plasma collection capacity at this center and we are simultaneously advancing our plan to open additional centers in the U.S. to further enhance our supply of specialty and regular plasma.
07:55 To lead our expansion efforts, we've also recently appointed Jonathan Ward as Director for Facilities and Construction. Jonathan brings to Kamada more than 25 years of experience in facilities and construction management, most recently in the plasma collection industry. This plan expansion is expected to enhance our IgG competitive position in the various markets.
08:24 KedRAB, marketed in the U.S by Kedrion, continues to gain market share in the $150 million U.S. market. During 2021, the FDA approved a label expansion for the product, which differentiates KedRAB as the first and only human rabies immunoglobulin available in the U.S. to be clinically studied in children and confirming the safety and effectiveness of its use in pediatric population. We anticipate sales of the product to grow significantly during the next few years.
09:00 As for GLASSIA, in 2021 as planned, Takeda completed the own manufacturing facility for the product and we fulfilled our supply commitments. Going forward, we expect to begin receiving royalty payments from Takeda, starting as soon as the second quarter of this year, in the range of $10 million to $20 million per year from 2022 to 2040, enhancing our profitability and cash position.
09:31 In addition, we continue to grow sales of GLASSIA in international markets through our local partners.
09:40 Turning to our promising clinical development pipeline, we are excited about the potential of our innovative Inhaled AAT product for the treatment of AAT Deficiency, a technology which has shown to be highly effective way of delivering AAT directly into a patient’s lungs.
10:01 A substantial opportunity exists for inhaled AAT to be a revolutionary product in a market that is already over $1 billion in annual sales in the U.S. and the EU and growing steadily. We are currently conducting the InnovAATe clinical trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal Phase 3 study.
10:26 While enrollment in the study was slowed during the last two years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently expanding the study with up to six additional clinical sites planned to be opened shortly, thereby expediting enrollment. Importantly, this is a unified study, as the trial’s data are expected to qualify for regulatory submissions in both the FDA and EMA.
10:56 In our distribution segment, which is an additional important growth catalyst for Kamada, we leverage our expertise and strong presence in the Israeli market to register, market, and distribute more than 20 products that are developed and manufactured by our international partners.
11:14 Since 2018, we significantly grown our pipeline of distributed products and in 2022 we anticipate launching a number of new products across multiple medical specialties. An area of key strategic focus in our distribution business is the planned distribution of a portfolio of 11 biosimilar products, expected to be launched upon receipt of Israeli regulatory approval, between the years 2022 and 2028, with an overall annual anticipated peak sales, within several years of launch, of more than $40 million. Once achieved, it will more than double our current Israeli distribution business.
11:52 Included in this portfolio are eight products through a distribution agreement with Alvotech, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of biosimilar drug candidates.
12:11 In closing, 2021 was a year of great importance for Kamada, as we successfully executed on multiple critical strategic transactions, ensuring a rapid financial turnaround of the company, with significant growth at a double-digit rate anticipated in the years ahead.
12:32 As we enter 2022, the initial benefits of the pivotal actions we have taken are already evident. Kamada is uniquely positioned for growth as a global leader in the specialty plasma industry, with multiple robust value-creating catalysts.
12:51 With that, I now turn the call over to Chaime for his review of our fourth quarter and full-year 2021 financial results. Chaime, please.
Chaime Orlev
13:04 Thank you, Amir, and good day everyone. Our business performed as we anticipated during 2021. Total revenues in 2021 were $103.6 million as compared to $133.2 million recorded in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda, resulting in an overall $38.7 million year-over-year decrease, and a year-over-year of $6.4 million in KEDRAB sales to Kedrion. This decrease resulted from a high level of product inventory at Kedrion at the end of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic effect on KEDRAB sales by Kedrion in that year.
13:58 On the other hand, we posted $5.4 million of revenues generated from the newly acquired portfolio. Of note, these revenues are for the period from November 22, 2021 through the end of the year.
14:15 In the fourth quarter of 2021, total revenues were $31.5 million, which was equivalent to the revenues recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020. EBITDA in 2021 totaled $5.4 million, as compared to $25.1 million in 2020. This decrease is primarily attributed to the overall change in product sales mix, specifically for decrease in sales of GLASSIA to Takeda and KEDRAB to Kedrion.
14:51 In addition, we incurred approximately $1.2 million of transaction related expenses associated with the newly acquired portfolio and approximately $600,000 of excess severance to employees who were laid-off as part of the downsizing following the transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda.
15:15 As of December 31, 2021, the company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $18.6 million, as compared to $109.3 million on December 31, 2020. The primary use of the cash during 2021 was the acquisition of the four FDA approved plasma derived hyperimmune commercial products.
15:39 As of the end of 2021, our working capital increased by $13.7 million to a total of $57.4 million. In connection with the recent acquisition, we secured the $40 million credit facility. Credit facility is comprised of a $20 million five-year term loan, which is fully utilized by us and a 20 million short-term revolving credit facility, which provides us access to additional cash resources to continue to support our expansion as needed. As of the end of 2021, we have not utilized the short-term credit facility.
16:21 To reiterate, our revenue guidance for 2022 is between $125 million to $135 million, a 20% to 30% growth, compared to 2021. We expect EBITDA margins of 12% to 15%, which would represent more than 2.5x of the 2021 EBITDA.
16:46 That concludes our prepared remarks. We will now open the call for questions. Operator?
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
16:55 Thank you. [Operator Instructions]
Bob Yedid
17:39 Paul, it's Bob Yedid from LifeSci. I’ve been emailed a question by an investor. Maybe I could ask that question. The question is for Amir, which is, how long will it take to transition in addition to the four products to the Israeli manufacturing facility? And how will that enhance gross margins over time?
Amir London
18:08 Thank you, Bob. So, as described during the call, CYTOGAM is already underway as part of the tech transfer to our facility and we expect to have FDA approval by beginning of 2023. CYTOGAM is more than 50% of the new portfolio in terms of its revenue and contribution. The other three products, we will be initiating that tech transfer activities and we expect to be able to complete those within the next three to five years.
18:49 And once they are manufactured by Kamada at our facility this will have a significant contribution to the overall effectiveness of the plant and the gross margin of our proprietary products. This is definitely part of the synergies of the acquisition that we've made.
Operator
19:19 Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I'd like to turn the floor back over to management for any closing comments.
Amir London
19:28 Yes. So, in closing, on behalf of the entire Kamada team, we look forward to continuing to help clinicians and patients with important lifesaving products that we develop, manufacture, and commercialize. We thank all of our investors for their support and remain committed to creating long-term shareholder value.
19:48 I wanted to reiterate the significant growth expected already in 2022 with our guidance for the year expected to range between $125 million to $135 million, representing a 20% to 30% increase over 2021, while EBITDA margins are expected to grow more than 2.5x over 2021 EBITDA.
20:15 So, this is significant growth expected for the year and we expect to have a double-digit growth continue over the next few years. We hope you all stay healthy and safe, and we thank you for you participating in today's call.
Operator
20:36 This concludes today's conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.

REHOVOT, Israel, March 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a vertically integrated global biopharmaceutical company, focused on specialty plasma-derived therapeutics, today announced financial results for the 12 and three months ended December 31, 2021.
"2021 was a transformational year for Kamada in our path toward becoming a global leader in the plasma-derived specialty hyperimmune market. With the recent acquisition of the portfolio of four FDA-approved commercial products, that generated annual global revenue in 2021 of approximately $41.9 million with over 50% gross margins of which approximately $5.4 million of revenue was recognized by the Company, and the establishment of Kamada Plasma, our U.S. based plasma collection company, we are embarking on a new and exciting chapter in the company’s evolution. We are building on the strong foundation established over the years and entering 2022 as a "New Kamada" – a fully integrated specialty plasma company, with six FDA-approved products and strong commercial capabilities in the U.S. market, as well as a global commercial footprint in over 30 countries," said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer.
"Our business performed as expected during 2021, and we look ahead to 2022 for which our revenue guidance is between $125 million to $135 million, representing a 20% to 30% growth compared to 2021, with expected EBITDA margins of 12% to 15%, which would represent more than 2.5x of the 2021 EBITDA. This strong guidance reflects the benefits stemmed from our new undertaken strategic direction and our expectation of rapid return to revenue and profitability growth in 2022. We further expect continued growth at a double-digit rate in the foreseeable years ahead."
“I am happy to report that over the past few months we have made significant progress with all our key growth catalysts, and we are implementing the needed steps to realize our significant growth potential. The integration of the newly acquired immunoglobulins portfolio is well underway in the U.S., as well as in the international markets. We are progressing with our plans for the opening of new plasma collection centers in the U.S. We have expanded our portfolio of Biosimilar product candidates to be distributed in the Israeli market, increasing our expected peak potential annual biosimilar sales, within several years of launch, to over $40 million. In addition, we are expanding our inhaled AAT pivotal Phase 3 trial with up to six additional clinical sites to be opened by mid-2022. Further, commencing in the second quarter of 2022, we are expecting to begin receiving GLASSIA royalty payments from Takeda, improving our profitability and cash position," concluded Mr. London.
Fiscal Year 2022 Guidance
Kamada currently expects to generate fiscal year 2022 total revenues in a range of $125 million to $135 million which would represent a 20% to 30% growth compared to fiscal year 2021. The Company also anticipates generating EBITDA, during 2022, at a rate of 12% to 15% of total revenues, representing more than 2.5x of the EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Financial Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2021
Total revenues were $103.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $133.2 million recorded in the year ended December 31, 2020. This decrease was primarily due to the transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda resulting in an overall $38.7 million year over year decrease, and a year over year decrease of $6.4 million in KEDRAB sales to Kedrion as a result of a high level of product inventory at Kedrion as of December 31, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic effect on KEDRAB sales by Kedrion during 2020. These decreases were partially offset by $5.4 million of revenues generated from the newly acquired portfolio between November 22, 2021, through December 31, 2021, as well as an increase in revenues of our other Proprietary products.
Gross profit was $30.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $47.6 million reported in the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease compared to 2020 is primarily attributed to the overall change in product sales mix, specifically the decrease in sales of GLASSIA to Takeda and KEDRAB to Kedrion (as detailed above).
Net loss was $2.2 million, or $(0.05) per share, in the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to net income of $17.1 million, or $0.38 per share, in the year ended December 31, 2020.
EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $5.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $25.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding certain costs, as detailed in the tables below, was $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2021, as detailed in the reconciliation table below, is presented excluding the following: (i) approximately $1.2 million in legal and other related fees associated with completing the acquisition transactions; and (ii) an expense of approximately $0.6 million related to excess severance remuneration for the employees who were laid-off as part of downsizing, following the transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda.
Cash used in operating activities was $8.8 million in the year ended December 31, of 2021, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $19.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020.
Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021
Total revenues were $31.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, equivalent to the revenues recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Gross profit was $6.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $10.2 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Net loss was $5.0 million, or $(0.11) per share, in the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.04 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2020.
EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $(1.3) million in the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted EBITDA, excluding certain costs, as detailed in the table below, was $(0.5) million in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Non-IFRS adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2021, as detailed in the reconciliation table below, is presented excluding approximately $0.7 million in legal and other related fees associated with completing the acquisitions transaction.
Cash used in operating activities was $5.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $12.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Balance Sheet Highlights
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $18.6 million, as compared to $109.3 million on December 31, 2020. The primary use of cash during 2021 was the acquisition of four FDA-approved plasma-derived hyperimmune commercial products. Kamada’s working capital as of December 31, 2021, comprising of current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments) net of current liabilities, totaled $57.4 million, representing an increase of $13.7 million compared to December 31, 2020.
The Company secured a $40 million credit facility from Bank Hapoalim, Israel’s leading commercial bank. The credit facility is comprised of a $20 million 5-year term loan and a $20 million short-term revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2021, the Company drew-down the entire long-term loan and did not utilize the short-term revolving credit facility.
Conference Call
Kamada management will host an investment community conference call on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, at 8:30am Eastern Time to present the Company’s results and answer questions. Shareholders and other interested parties may participate in the conference call by dialing 877-407-0792 (from within the U.S.), 1-809-406-247 (from Israel), or 201-689-8263 (International) and entering the conference identification number: 13727620.

Non-IFRS financial measures
We present EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA because we use this non-IFRS financial measure to assess our operational performance, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Management believes this non-IFRS financial measure are useful to investors because: (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making and provide investors with a meaningful perspective on the current underlying performance of the Company’s core ongoing operations; and (2) they exclude the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to our core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the core operating performance of the business. Non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, our IFRS results. We expect to continue reporting non-IFRS financial measures, adjusting for the items described below, and we expect to continue to incur expenses similar to certain of the non-cash, non-IFRS adjustments described below. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the exclusion of these and other similar items in the presentation of non-IFRS financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these items are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under IFRS and do not purport to be an alternative to IFRS terms as an indicator of operating performance or any other IFRS measure. Moreover, because not all companies use identical measures and calculations, the presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are defined as net income (loss), plus income tax expense, plus or minus financial income or expenses, net, plus or minus income or expense in respect of securities measured at fair value, net, plus or minus income or expenses in respect of currency exchange differences and derivatives instruments, net, plus depreciation and amortization expense, plus non-cash share-based compensation expenses and certain other costs.

Kamada Issues 2022 CEO Letter to Shareholders
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kamada-issues-2022-ceo-letter-110500357.html
REHOVOT, Israel, March 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kamada Ltd. (NASDAQ: KMDA; TASE: KMDA.TA), a vertically integrated global biopharmaceutical company, focused on specialty plasma-derived therapeutics, today issued the Letter to Shareholders from Amir London, Chief Executive Officer.
March 15th, 2022
Dear Shareholders, Colleagues and Business Partners:
The recently completed 2021 year was a transformational period for Kamada in our path toward becoming a global leader in the plasma-derived specialty market. Following the completion of the planned manufacturing transition of Glassia® to Takeda, our recent acquisition of four FDA-approved commercial immunoglobulins and the establishment of Kamada Plasma, our U.S. based plasma collection company, we are embarking on a new and exciting chapter in the Company’s evolution. We are building on the strong foundation established over the years, entering 2022 as a "New Kamada" – a fully-integrated specialty plasma company with six FDA-approved products and strong commercial capabilities in the U.S. market, as well as a global commercial footprint in over 30 countries.
Our business performed as expected in 2021 and we look ahead to 2022 for which our revenue guidance is between $125 million to $135 million, representing a 20% to 30% growth compared to 2021, with expected EBITDA margins of 12% to 15%, which would represent more than 2.5x the 2021 EBITDA. This strong guidance reflects the benefits stemmed from our new undertaken strategic direction, and the resume of revenue and profitability growth in 2022. Importantly, we further expect continued growth at a double-digit rate in the coming few years.
The acquisition completed in November 2021, following a thorough search for the ideal assets for Kamada, was a critical strategic and synergistic step for the Company. The acquired products generated revenues exceeding $40 million in 2021, with over 50% gross margins, and we anticipate significantly growing the new portfolio’s revenues through proactive promotional activities in the U.S, where our newly established subsidiary, Kamada Inc., is responsible for the commercialization and direct sales of the products. We also intend to leverage our existing strong international distribution network to grow product revenue in new territories, primarily in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. I am pleased to report that these promotional and sales activities have already commenced.
Of the four acquired products, the largest is Cytogam®, indicated for the prophylaxis of cytomegalovirus disease associated with solid organs transplantation. This proprietary and unique product is the only FDA-approved IgG product for its indication. The transition of Cytogam manufacturing to our facility is already well underway, and we expect to receive FDA approval for its production at our Israeli facility by early 2023. Moreover, based on the Cytogam manufacturing transfer, expected growth of KedRAB®, our FDA-approved anti-Rabies hyperimmune product, and planned manufacturing transition of the other acquired products over the next few years, we anticipate improving the gross margins of our proprietary products by effectively utilizing our plant capacity.
Another major strategic step taken is the acquisition of a plasma collection facility in Texas, in early 2021, which primarily specializes in the collection of hyper-immune plasma used for Anti-D immunoglobulin, a product manufactured by Kamada and distributed in international markets. This acquisition represented Kamada’s entry into the U.S. plasma collection market and supported our strategic goal of becoming a fully integrated specialty plasma company. We are already actively engaged in the expansion of the hyperimmune plasma collection capacity at this center and are simultaneously advancing our plan to open additional centers in the U.S. to further enhance our supply of specialty and regular plasma.
KedRAB, marketed in the U.S by Kedrion, continues to gain market share in the $150 million U.S. market. During 2021, the FDA approved a label expansion for the product which differentiates KedRAB as the first and only human rabies immunoglobulin (HRIG) available in the U.S. to be clinically studied in children and confirming the safety and effectiveness of its use in pediatric population. We anticipate sales of the product to grow significantly during the next few years.
During 2021, as planned, Takeda completed the transition of Glassia manufacturing to their own facility, and we fulfilled our supply commitments. Going forward, we expect to begin receiving royalty payments from Takeda, commencing during the second quarter of 2022, in the range of $10-$20 million per year from 2022 to 2040, adding to our profitability and cash position. In addition, we continue to grow sales of the product in international markets through our local partners.
Turning to our promising clinical development pipeline, we are excited about the potential of our innovative Inhaled AAT product for the treatment of AAT Deficiency, a technology which has shown to be highly effective in delivering AAT directly into a patient’s lungs. A substantial opportunity exists for inhaled AAT to be a revolutionary product in a market that is already over $1 billion in annual sales in the U.S. and EU. We are currently conducting the InnovAATe clinical trial, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal Phase 3 study. While enrollment in the study was slowed during recent two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently expanding the study with up to six additional clinical sites planned to be opened shortly, thereby expediting enrollment. Importantly, this is a unified study, as the trial’s data are expected to qualify for regulatory submissions with both the FDA and EMA.
In our distribution segment, which is an additional important growth catalyst for Kamada, we leverage our expertise and strong presence in the Israeli market to register, market and distribute more than 20 products that are developed and manufactured by our international partners. Since 2018, we have significantly grown our pipeline of distributed products and in 2022 we anticipate launching an array of new products across multiple medical specialties. An area of key strategic focus in our distribution business is the planned distribution of a portfolio of 11 biosimilar products, expected to be launched upon receipt of Israeli regulatory approval, between the years 2022 and 2028, with an overall annual anticipated peak sales, within several years of launch, of more than $40 million. Included in this portfolio are 8 products through a distribution agreement with Alvotech, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of biosimilar drug candidates.
In closing, 2021 was a year of great importance for Kamada, as we successfully executed on multiple critical strategic transactions, ensuring a rapid financial turnaround of the Company, with significant revenue growth anticipated in the years ahead.
As we enter 2022, the initial benefits of the decisive actions we have taken are already evident. Kamada is uniquely positioned for growth as a global leader in the specialty plasma industry, with multiple robust value-creating catalysts.
On behalf of the entire Kamada team, we look forward to continuing to help clinicians and patients with the important lifesaving products that we develop, manufacture and commercialize. We thank all of our investors for their support and remain committed to creating long-term shareholder value.
Sincerely,
Amir London

Thank you and thank you all for joining us. This is Bob Yedid with LifeSci Advisors. Joining me from Kamada are Amir London, Chief Executive Officer; and Chaime Orlev, Chief Financial Officer.
Earlier this morning, Kamada announced a strategic transformational transaction positioning the company as a global leader in plasma-derived hyperimmune market through the acquisition of a portfolio of four FDA-approved plasma-derived commercial products from Saol Therapeutics, privately held pharmaceutical company as well as its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

With those prepared remarks, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Amir London, CEO. Amir?
Amir London
Thank you, Bob. My thanks also to our investors and analysts for your interest in Kamada and for participating in today's call. I and all of us at Kamada are thrilled to announce this morning the strategic transformational transaction positioning Kamada as a global leader in the plasma-derived hyperimmune market through the acquisition of a portfolio of four FDA approved plasma-derived hyperimmune commercial products from Saol Therapeutics.
Before I continue to provide you with an overview of this strategic transaction, which is a significant growth catalyst for Kamada, I will let Chaime to provide the key details around our financial results for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30. Chaime, please.
Chaime Orlev
Thank you, Amir, and good day, everyone. Our business continues to perform as anticipated through the first nine months of 2021. In the third quarter of 2021, total revenues were $23 million compared to $35.3 million for the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, total revenues were $72.2 million, down from the $101.7 million in the similar period of 2020. This decrease is primarily related to the expected reduction of GLASSIA sales, resulting from the completion of the product manufacturing transition to Takeda.
During the first nine months of 2021, we completed our committed supply of GLASSIA to Takeda and recognized revenues of approximately $26.9 million. As a reminder, we will begin receiving royalty payments in 2022 at a rate of 12% on Takeda's net in-market sales of GLASSIA through August 2025, and at the rate of 6% thereafter until 2014. We project receiving royalties in the range of $10 million to $20 million per year from 2022 to 2040.
From a profitability standpoint, gross profit for the third quarter of 2021 was $5.7 million as compared to $14.8 million in the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of the year, our total gross profit was 23.7 million as compared to the $37.4 million of total gross profit in the first nine months of 2020.
Gross margins for the third quarter and first nine months of the year were 22% and 32%, respectively, as compared to 42% and 36%, respectively, in the equivalent periods in 2020. As a reminder, we said on our last call that we expected a shift in product sales mix during the second half of the year, resulting in lower gross margins.
Net loss for the quarter was approximately $800,000 or $0.02 per share as compared to net income of $6.8 million or $0.15 per share in the third quarter of 2020. For the first nine months of 2021, net income was $2.8 million or $0.06 per share as compared to net income of $15.5 million or $0.35 per share in the first nine months of 2020.
For the first nine months of 2021, our adjusted EBITDA, excluding the one-time severance costs related to the workforce reduction, was $6.7 million compared to $21.1 million in the first nine months of 2020.
With that, let me turn the call over to Amir for his overview of the strategic acquisitions. Amir?
Amir London
Thank you, Chaime. As mentioned earlier, we are thrilled with this strategic transformational transaction positioning Kamada as a global leader in the plasma-derived hyperimmune market through the acquisition of a portfolio of four FDA approved plasma-derived commercial products.
Collectively, these four products acquired from Saol Therapeutics are expected to generate global revenue for the full year of 2021 of between $40 million to $45 million. Approximately 75% and 20% of these sales will be generated in the U.S. and Canada effectively. The acquired products expected full year 2021 gross margins are between 50% to 55%.
Importantly, after the temporary decline in our revenues and profitability in 2021 compared to previous years due to GLASSIA manufacturing transfer to Takeda, the integration of the newly acquired portfolio with Kamada's existing business is expected to result in a significant growth in our revenues and profitability already next year in 2022.
The four acquired products include; the first product is CYTOGAM, which currently accounts for approximately 50% of the portfolio revenue and is indicated for the prophylaxis of CMV disease associated with the transplantation of the kidney, lung, liver, pancreas and heart. The product is the sole FDA-approved IgG product for this indication.
You will recall that Kamada announced in late 2019 a Contract Manufacturing Agreement. That agreement was related to Cytogam. The tech transfer process for Cytogam is already well underway, and Kamada expects to receive FDA approval for manufacturing of the product and initiate commercial manufacturing at its facility in Israel by the end of 2022.
The second product is VARIZIG, indicated and recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, the CDC, for post-exposure prophylaxis of varicella in high-risk individuals, including immunocompromised children, newborns and pregnant women. The product is the sole FDA approved IgG product for this indication.
The third product is WINRHO, indicated for use in ITP and suppression of Rhesus Isoimmunization during pregnancy and other obstetric conditions in non-sensitized, Rho(NYSE:D)-negative women.
And the fourth product is HEPAGAM B, indicated for use in the prevention of hepatitis B recurrence following liver transplants as well as post-exposure prophylaxis. The acquisition of this FDA-approved commercial portfolio represents a critical strategic and synergistic transaction and it's an important growth driver for Kamada.
Our U.S. subsidiary, Kamada Inc., will be responsible for the commercialization of the product in the U.S., including direct sales to wholesalers and local distributors. Together with KEDRAB and Kedrion, our other commercial IgG products, our portfolio of commercial specialty plasma-derived hyperimmune therapies now include six products, and this is indicative of our global leadership position in the plasma-derived specialty hyperimmune market.
With the establishment earlier this year of Kamada Plasma, our U.S.-based plasma collection company, the acquisition of this new portfolio and the establishment of our U.S.-based commercial operation, Kamada continues to advance its core objective of entering 2022 as a fully-integrated specialty plasma company, with strong commercial capabilities in the U.S. market.
Importantly, in addition to the establishment of a commercial presence in the U.S., this transaction adds eight new international markets from current distribution networks. These new markets are primarily in the Middle East as shown on this map. Kamada now has a commercial footprint in over 30 countries.
Each of these products offer significant growth potential for Kamada, and we intend to invest in the commercialization and lifecycle management of the newly acquired products and to leverage our existing strong international distribution network to grow the acquired portfolio revenue in new geographic markets.
Moreover, with the planned transfer of Cytogam manufacturing to our facility in Israel, the expected continued growth of KEDRAB, our anti-Rabies hyperimmune product, and the potential to transfer the production of the other three products in the acquired portfolio to our Israeli facility, we anticipate utilizing and optimizing the capacity of our plant following the transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda.
In terms of the acquisition financial terms under the agreement, Kamada will pay Saol $95 million upfront and up to an additional $50 million in sales milestones during 2022 until 2034. In addition, Kamada is acquiring from Saol existing inventory at an estimated value of approximately $15 million, which will be paid over 10 equal quarterly installments. All other inventory transferred at no cost.
In addition to leveraging our current strong balance sheet to partially fund acquisition costs, Kamada has secured a $40 million credit facility from Bank Hapoalim, Israel’s leading commercial bank. The credit facility is comprised of a $20 million five-year term loan and a $20 million short-term revolving credit facility.
To summarize, this acquisition is an important step towards establishing Kamada as the global leader in the development, manufacturing and commercialization of plasma-derived specialty IgGs. As a reminder, our strategy is focused on driving profitable growth from our current commercial activities as well as our plasma-derived further development and manufacturing expertise.
Together with the existing growth catalyst comprising of KEDRAB sales in the U.S., GLASSIA royalties, our rapidly expanding Israeli distribution segment based on the anticipated launch of nine new biosimilar products, the sales of last year and existing hyperimmune sales in international markets, the establishment and expansion of our U.S.-based plasma collection capabilities and the potential of our Inhaled AAT investigational product, today's announced acquisition of the four plasma-derived hyperimmune commercial product is transforming Kamada into a vertically integrated specialty plasma-derived company and a global leader in the plasma-derived hyperimmune market.
In summary, we are highly confident in the strength of our overall business, which consists of multiple profitable lines of business that can each drive significant long-term growth opportunities for Kamada, and we look forward to leveraging the many benefits of the transformational transaction announced today.
With that, we will now open the call for questions. Operator?
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Thank you. We will now be conducting a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]. Our first question today is coming from Anthony Petrone from Jefferies. Your line is now live.
Anthony Petrone
Thank you and good morning. Congratulations on the transaction announced today. I have a few focused here and a few more broader higher level questions. So first, Amir, on the transaction announced today with Saol, maybe just a little bit more on the revenue breakdown across the four products in the 40 million to 45 million range, just how that breaks out across the four products, and maybe just the growth profile on the portfolio? And then I'll have a couple of follow ups.
Amir London
Okay. Thank you, Anthony. So CYTOGAM is the largest product of the four and it's currently selling approximately 50% of the portfolio. The second and third products, WINRHO and HEPAGAM, they sell between $10 million to $8 million approximately or $8 million to $12 million depending on the year. And VARIZIG is selling less than the other three products. I believe it's around $3 million to $6 million. This is the expectation for this year.
Anthony Petrone
Okay. And then when you look at that combined 40 million to 45 million, is there a growth rate -- a historical growth rate that you can share as well?
Amir London
So we're looking into the future and we believe that we can grow this portfolio significantly by mainly two aspects. One aspect in the U.S. market, we plan on establishing a commercial team that will be promoting the products. The products are primarily focused on transplantation, so we are going to cover the main transplantation centers in the U.S. and we are going to be very active in promoting the treatment for the needed population. In addition, the fact that Kamada already has currently a distribution network in over 20 countries, 25 to be precise, we believe that we can grow this business significantly outside of the U.S. Until today, the main focus was U.S. and Canada. As we've said, 95% of the current sales are within those two territories. And with Kamada's existing infrastructure, we believe that we can drive significant growth outside the U.S. and Canada through our existing distribution channel.
Anthony Petrone
That's helpful. And then maybe on the production side, Amir, is the current Kamada collection footprint enough to support the four products from a hyperimmune plasma standpoint on the collection side, or will the company have to go out there and acquire Hyper IG plasma to support the portfolio?
Amir London
So the products are being transferred to Kamada with an established supply chain, including plasma supply capabilities for all contracts for the years to come. In addition to that, we are planning to grow our own existing hyperimmune collection based on Kamada Plasma that was established beginning of the year. And we plan on being able to support majority of the plasma needed for its products through our own capabilities in the years to come. It will take time to build this capacity, but that's our plan. This is going to improve our cost of goods and will allow us to be even more competitive and to grow our profitability in the U.S. and ex-U.S. on those four products.
Anthony Petrone
A follow up for Chaime just on the margin profile here. 50% to 55% gross margin, it does sound like there will be investments to support the portfolio in other markets, both direct and indirect sales channels. And so maybe just how this flows through the P&L when you consider the operating expenses that are going to be layered on the operation? So a little bit on the margin profile down to the, let's say, the EBITDA line?
Chaime Orlev
So outside of the U.S., we are going to use our existing distribution channels. So we are not going to operate our own sales team. So we're not going to add to the pressure on cost in that regard. We are going to support the products, of course, from a marketing perspective and product management. And this is going to be part of the support we will need to give anyways to our U.S. affiliates, which is going to sell the product. In the U.S., the team is going to be focused and highly effective. We believe that we need up to 15 people that will be working on that portfolio in the U.S. market. And the reason I'm saying that we can be highly focused is because it is for the transplantation centers who are going to focus on the few dozen main transplantation centers in the U.S. market and that's going to be our core business.
Anthony Petrone
Great. And then maybe to just transition away from the transaction today on the base business, two quick follow ups, I'll get in queue here. One just on the Takeda royalties as we look into the first year in 2022, the range 10 million to 20 million is wide. Just wondering, is that to consider market fluctuations just in terms of GLASSIA being sold? Or is it something specific in the agreement when you consider the range? And then maybe if you can just provide as we look into '22 and '23, the next steps that we should be looking for on the InnovAATe Inhaled trial? Thanks and congratulations, again.
Amir London
Thank you. So on the GLASSIA Takeda royalties, it's not about fluctuation. As you may remember, we're starting with a 12% royalty and then it goes down in August 2025 to 6%. So basically into 2022, when work is started, it will be the higher range of 10 million to 20 million, because it will be the 12%. And then starting in September 2025, it will drop by half. That's why we gave the range. So you can start with the higher number for the next few years until end of 2025.
Anthony Petrone
Great. And then just on the InnovAATe trial?
Amir London
Yes. So we have a study -- as you know, we are in the Phase 3 pivotal study under the U.S. IND and European CTA. We announced today as part of our quarterly earnings that we had a successful DSMB meeting, the Drug Safety Monitoring Board review. So we are highly encouraged by the good feedback we received from that committee on the safety of the treatments. We are planning to continue of course and open additional sites of the study in early 2022.
Anthony Petrone
Thanks, again.
Operator
Thank you. [Operator Instructions]. We've reached the end of our question-and-answer session. I'd like to turn the floor back over to management for any further or closing comments.
Amir London
Thank you, operator. So in closing, we are thrilled with today's transformational strategic acquisition of the four FDA-approved commercial products and remain confident in this prospect for our business, which consists of multiple profitable lines of business that can each drive significant long-term growth opportunities for Kamada.
As already explained, importantly, after the temporary decline in our revenues and profitability this year compared to previous years as a result of GLASSIA manufacturing transferred to Takeda, the integration of the newly acquired portfolio as Kamada's existing business will result in significant growth in our revenues and profitability over the next year in 2022.
Thank you for joining us today and we look forward to providing you with further updates in the coming weeks and months. We hope you all stay healthy and safe. Thank you very much.
Operator
Thank you. That does conclude today's teleconference. You may disconnect your line at this time and have a wonderful day. We thank you for your participation today.

Greetings and welcome to the Kamada Limited Second Quarter 2021 Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded.
It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Bob Yedid with LifeSci Advisors. Thank you. You may begin.
Bob Yedid
Thank you, Doug, and welcome to all our listeners. This is Bob Yedid with LifeSci Advisors. Thank you all for participating in today's call. Joining me from Kamada are Amir London, Chief Executive Officer; and Chaime Orlev, Chief Financial Officer. Earlier this morning Kamada announced financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. If you've not received this news release please go to the Investors page of the company's website at www.kamada.com.
Before we begin, I'd like to caution that comments made during this conference call by management will contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties regarding the operations and future results of Kamada. I encourage you to review the company's filings with Securities and Exchange Commission including without limitation the company's Forms 20-F and 6-K which identifies specific risk factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Furthermore, the content of this conference call contains time-sensitive information that is accurate only as of the date of the slide, broadcast Wednesday, August 11, 2021. Kamada undertakes no obligation to revise or update any statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this conference call.
With that said, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Amir London, CEO. Amir?
Amir London
Thank you, Bob. My thanks also to our investors and analysts for your interest in Kamada and for participating in today's call. I'm pleased to report today that our business continued to perform as anticipated through the first half of 2021. Chaime will provide the key details around our second quarter and first six months financial results shortly. But I would like to indicate that despite the expected decrease in revenue, as compared to the first half of last year, we achieved gross margins of 37% in the first half of this year as compared to 34% during the first six months of 2020.
With that, let me begin by indicating two recent advancements. The first is related to workforce downsizing we previously discussed, which was largely completed during the second quarter. As we mentioned on our last call this downsizing is expected to result in an annualized reduction in overall labor cost of approximately 10%. As a reminder, the downsizing was implemented in order to align our workforce to the low utilization of our plant following the planned completion of the transition of glass manufacturing to Takeda later this year. The second is the recent FDA approval of a label update for KEDRAB. Our human rabies immune globulin product HRIG is marketed by Kedrion in the US. This label expansion confirms our product safety and effectiveness in children.
KEDRAB is now indicated for passive transient post exposure prophylaxis of rabies infection in persons of all ages when given promptly after contact with rabies or possibly rabid animal. This FDA approval was based on data from the US post-marketing pediatric study. The first and only clinical trial to establish pediatric safety and effectiveness of any HRIG in the US. Importantly, this label update has a potential to increase KEDRAB US market share and product revenues. While the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact sales of KEDRAB, we anticipate that sales of this product will continue to grow meaningfully in the years to come in the US capturing a significant portion of the estimated annual $150 million US HRIG market.
Turning to our product pipeline. The InnovAATe Phase 3 clinical program for our proprietary inhaled AAT for the treatment of Alpha-one Antitrypsin Deficiency is continuing to progress. As a reminder, InnovAATe is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled pivotal Phase 3 trial performed under an IND and European CTA designed to assess the efficacy and safety of inhaled AAT in patients with Alpha-one deficiency and moderate lung disease. These high-priority program continues to be the focus of potential commercial partner discussions for us as we remain focused on evaluating strategic opportunities for this important product candidate in the market, which is currently already estimated at over $1 billion and growing 6% to 8% annually.
We are engaged in ongoing dialog with multiple parties and I'm pleased with the level of external interest generated in our product. Potential partners have clearly recognized the value of this compelling development program. Let's move on to the progress of a Plasma-derived immunoglobulin[ph] product as a potential therapy for COVID-19 disease. During the second quarter, we completed the supply of the product with Israeli Ministry of Health per our initial supply agreement. As a reminder, the initial order from Israeli Ministry of Health for the product is sufficient to treat approximately 500 hospitals patient and have generated approximately $3.4 million in revenues for Kamada. The therapy is available nationwide in Israel and patients are continuing to be treated as part of the MOH clinical study on named-patient basis. We remain in active discussions with several countries regarding the possible supply of IgG product. Moving on to Kamada plasma, our US plasma collection we've initiated plans to leverage our FDA license and open additional centers in the US through which we intend to significantly expand our plasma collection capacity. This plant expansion is expected to enhance our IgG competitive position in the various markets.
Lastly, we are having productive active discussions with multiple parties around new strategic business development opportunities that will utilize and expand our core plasma-derived development, manufacturing, and commercialization expertise. We are excited about the direction of this dialog and believe there are interesting prospective transactions available to us that could significantly impact our business.
As we have said previously, we are focused on identifying plasma derived product that can be acquired or we can provide manufacturing services. Our team remains highly focused on realizing this compelling opportunities which will be funded by our strong cash position of nearly $105 million as of June 30, 2021. As a reminder, our strategy is focused on driving profitable growth from our current commercial activities as well as our plasma-derived product development and manufacturing expertise. As such, we intend to further evolve into a vertically integrated specialty plasma-derived company for development and all the acquisition of plasma-derived products and distribution capabilities.
In summary, we remain highly confident in the strength of our overall business, which consists of multiple revenue generating operating lines that can each drive significant long-term growth opportunities for Kamada.
With that, I now ask Chaime to review our financial results. Chaime, please.
Chaime Orlev
Thanks, Amir, and good day everyone. As Amir noted, our business performed as expected throughout the first half of 2021. In the second quarter of 2021, total revenues were $24.2 million compared to $33.1 million for the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months in 2021, total revenues were $49.1 million compared to $66.4 million in the similar period of 2020. This decrease is mainly related to the expected reduction of sales of Glassia to Takeda due to the product manufacturing transition that will be completed this year.
During the first six months of 2021, we sold approximately $17 million of Glassia to Takeda, which is part of our overall expected $25 million in product revenue from the supplier to Takeda for full-year 2021. From a profitability standpoint gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 was $9.1 million as compared to $11.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months our total gross profit was $18 million as compared to $22.6 million of total gross profit in the first six months of 2020. In both the second quarter and first half of 2021, our gross margin was 37%, an increase from 34% in the equivalent period in 2020.
Looking ahead to the second half of 2021, we do expect a shift in product sales mix with higher weighted sales in our distribution products which have lower gross margins as well as continued reduction in Glassia sales to Takeda. Therefore, we would not expect our gross margins in the second half of the year to be a strong as they were in the first half. Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2021 included approximately 600,000 in other expenses related to a one-time severance related cost associated with the workforce downsizing, which was largely concluded.
Moving on, net income was approximately 900,000 or $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to net income of $3.5 million or $0.10 per share in the second quarter of 2020. For the first six months, net income was $3.6 million or $0.08 per share as compared to net income of $8.7 million or $0.20 per share in the first six months of 2020. For the first half of 2021 our adjusted EBITDA, excluding the one-time severance costs was $6.7 million compared to $11.8 million in the first half of 2020. Coming to the balance sheet continues to be a significant spread of our company. As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment of approximately $105 million as compared to approximately $109 million on December 31, 2020. The decrease is mainly related to working capital timing differences.
As Amir mentioned, we intend to leverage these cash resources for expansion of our plasma collection activity and targeted strategic business development opportunities.
That concludes our prepared remarks, we will now open the call for questions. Doug?
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, at this time, we would like to conduct a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Anthony Petrone with Jefferies. Please proceed with your question.
Anthony Petrone
Good morning, gentlemen. And congrats on first strong execution over the past first half through the pandemic here. First question would be on timing for Bonsity, the biosimilar for teriparatide and I know that's still on track for next year. Just trying to get a sense of sort of launch preparations behind the scenes and sort of expectations into 2022 for that product. And then similarly on the Hyperimmune globulin contract manufacturing contract signed last quarter 12-year agreement with an undisclosed partner, just again timing on when that will begin and how that's going to ramp over the next couple of years and then I have a few follow-ups. Thanks.
Amir London
Hi, Anthony, it is Amir. Thank you for the questions. So regarding the Biosimilar. Yes, we are on track -- we are on track to get the product launched early next year in 2022 as we've indicated in previous discussions. And regarding the tech transfer this is also moving forward according to the plan. We are going to manufacture the different validation batches over the next few months. We plan to submit the file amendment to the FDA and we are on track to have the product approved to be manufactured at our facility before the end of 2022 and initiate commercial production beginning of 2023, according to the plan. This is a 12-year agreement with expected revenue that can be as high as $10 million a year for a total of $120 million for the course of the agreement.
Anthony Petrone
Okay. And then on the follow-up. You've sort of indicated here on the InnovAATe trial in the development of inhalable potentially the strategic partnerships in the mix there. Just maybe sort of the latest thoughts there on how this asset could actually evolve now that you're seeking partnerships. And then, the last one I'll squeeze in will be on Plasma Centers. The company has been adding capabilities on that end. Maybe just the broader sort of outlook on the initiatives in the supply chain. How many plasma center overall do you think Kamada will have critical mass and will those be exclusively hyperimmune focused or just broader as it relates to plasma collections overall. Thanks.
Amir London
Thank you. Thank you for the questions, Regarding the InnovAATe study, the study is ongoing and we are in the process of expanding it with the plan to open additional sites in the partnering process as we've indicated in the prepared remarks is ongoing. It's high focus for us -- bringing on both[ph] potential commercial partners in terms of more details we will be happy to share this when things will mature and materialize. We are in discussions with multiple parties. We are pleased with the level of interest that has been generated by this program by the different parties and we believe this is definitely an important validation having external partners being recognizing the value of this compelling development program. So, stay tuned and we will update once we have more information about this potential commercialization agreement. In regards to Kamada plasma. So this site in Texas the one that we acquired. We have completed the integration of that into Kamada, according to the plan, we are growing the capacity of that facility. This facility is focused on high premium collection -- only high premium collection while in terms of our plan moving forward our focus at least for the time being will continue to be on the high premium plasma.
It's important for us to be vertically integrated and as we Kamada focus on specialty hyperimmune plasma product, we are planning to be fully vertically integrated in that regard. We are not ruling out the option that is part of the plan. We will also be collecting source plasma once our plan is finalized. We will share it with you with the public in terms of how many centers. how many liters of plasma we plan to collect and how we are going to go about this network of plasma collection centers in the US but this is definitely part of our strategy to be a player in the plasma collection space for Kamada internally[ph] but also potentially as a company that will be selling plasma to external clients.
Anthony Petrone
Thanks again, Amir.
Operator
There are no further questions in the queue, I'd like to hand the call back over to Amir London for closing remarks.
Amir London
Thank you. In closing, we remain confident in the strength and the fundamentals of our business and we look forward to executing on multiple potential compelling partnership and business development opportunities by utilizing our solid balance sheet. We also leverage our core expertise in development, manufacturing, and commercialization of plasma-derived therapeutics to further our evaluation into a vertically integrated company by expanding our plasma collection capabilities.
Thank you all for joining us on today's call. We look forward to providing you with further updates on our progress during the second half of the year. We hope you all stay healthy and safe. Thank you very much.
Operator
Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's teleconference. Thank you for your participation. You may disconnect your lines at this time and have a wonderful day.

Greetings. Welcome to the Kamada Ltd. First Quarter 2021 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to your host, Bob Yedid. You may begin.
Bob Yedid
Thank you, operator, and thank you everyone for joining today’s call. This is Bob Yedid with LifeSci Advisors. Joining me today from Kamada are Amir London, Chief Executive Officer; and Chaime Orlev, Chief Financial Officer. Earlier this morning, Kamada announced financial results for the 3 months ended March 31, 2021. If you have not received this news release, please go to the Investors page of the company’s website at www.kamada.com.

Kamada undertakes no obligation to revise or update any statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this conference call.
With those remarks, it’s my pleasure to turn the call over to Amir London, CEO. Amir?
Amir London
Thank you, Bob, I thank also to our investors and analysts for your interest in Kamada and for participating in today’s call. While the global pandemic continues to create commercial challenges, our sales and financial results for the first quarter of 2021 were in line with our expectations. Chaime will provide all the key details along the first quarter financial results shortly.
But I’d like to begin by highlighting the recently announced amendment to the Glassia license agreement with Takeda will buy upon completion of the transition of Glassia manufacturing to Takeda, which is expected by the end of 2021. We would transfer to Takeda to Glassia U.S. BLA. In exchange for the BLA transfer, we literally see the $2 million payment from Takeda expected by the end of the year. In addition, the term of the final sales-based milestone of $5 million due to Kamada under the license agreement was amended and resulted in a cognition of income in the first quarter.
Based on the transition of Glassia manufacturing to Takeda and it’s continued distribution of the product to the U.S., the transfer of the BLA to Takeda were the sound strategic next step for both sides. Also, in connection with the tradition of Glassia manufacturing to Takeda later this year, we are planning to implement a workforce downsizing in the early part of the third quarter, which is expected to result in an annualized reduction in labor costs of approximately 10%. This cost saving are in line with the plan to align our workforce to the lower plant utilization, maintaining a profitable and effective operation, meeting market demands.
With that, I would like now to turn to our product pipeline and discuss our InnovAATe Phase 3 clinical program for proprietary inhaled AAT for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. As a reminder, InnovAATe is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pivotal Phase 3 trial performed under an FDA IND in a European CTA designed to assess the efficacy and safety of inhaled AAT in patients with alpha-1 deficiency and moderate lung disease. This program continues to be a high priority for Kamada, and we continue to evaluate strategic opportunities for engaging a commercialization partner for this important product candidate in the market, which is currently estimated at over $1 billion growing 6% to 8% annually.
Moving on, I’d like to discuss important progress we continue to achieve around the development of our plasma-derived immunoglobulin products as a potential therapy for COVID-19 disease. We were pleased to announce top line results of our Phase 1/2 open-label single-arm, multicenter clinical trial of our IgG product in Israel. To briefly read the results. 11 of the 12 patients recovered following the receipt of the treatment. Seven patients were discharged from the hospital at or before day five post-treatment and the remaining four patients were discharged by day nine. Following the infusion of the product IgG levels in the plasma of all patients increased and preliminary results demonstrated that the IgG levels increase was associated with enhanced utilization activity.
In addition, we were encouraged to observe that our IgG product demonstrated a favorable safety profile, and there were no infusion related reactions or adverse event consider related to the study drug. Under our existing agreement, we continue to supply the product to the Israeli Ministry of Health, MOH for the treatment of COVID-19 patients in Israel. As a reminder, the initial order from the MOH for the product is sufficient to treat approximately 500 hospitalized patients and is expected to generate approximately $3.4 million in revenue for Kamada. The therapy is available nationwide in Israel and patients are being treated as part of the MOH clinical study or on a named patient basis.
During the first quarter, we also finalized the ramp up manufacturing production of the product by utilizing plasma collected in the U.S. by Kedrion. This scaled manufacturing on our commercial scale production line can accommodate possible demand from additional international markets.
We are currently in discussions with several countries regarding the potential supply of IgG product. In general, we believe that even after a global deployment of COVID-19 vaccination, there would still be specific population that will continue to need an IgG product, mainly immunocompromised patients, which are expected to continue to be at risk due to their condition. Lastly, we believe that our activity during the COVID-19 pandemic clearly demonstrated our ability to quickly and professionally respond to such emerging situation.
Moving onto the formation of Kamada Plasma, our new subsidiary in the U.S., we are extremely excited about the future opportunities provided by our recent acquisition of the plasma collection center in Beaumont, Texas in the establishment of our own collection capabilities. The acquisition represents our entry into the U.S. plasma production market and drives us toward our strategic goal of becoming a fully integrated specialty plasma company.
I’m pleased to report today that integration and extension activities are proceeding as planned in this facility. By leveraging our FDA license, we tend to open additional centers in the U.S., through which we intend to significantly expand our hyperimmune plasma collection capacity. This plant expansion is expected to improve our IgG competitive position in various markets. We look forward to sharing additional details with you regarding this potential growth opportunity in the coming quarters.
Lastly, we continue to proactively explore new strategic business development opportunities that we utilize and expand our core plasma-derived development, manufacturing and commercialization expertise. As a reminder, we will focus on identifying plasma-derived products that we can acquire or provide manufacturing services for. Our team is fully engaged and we are currently in active discussions that we hope will lead to realizing this opportunity, which will be funded by our strong cash position of nearly $110 million as of March 31, 2021.
Our strategies focused on driving profitable growth for our current commercial activities as well as our plasma-derived product development, and manufacturing expertise, as such, we intend to continue evolving into a vertically integrated specialty plasma-derived company, for the development and all the acquisition of plasma collection and product distribution capabilities.
In summary, we continue to firmly believe in the strength of our business, which consists of multiple lines of activity, which can each drive significant long-term growth opportunities for Kamada.
With that, I’ll now ask Chaime to review our financial results for the first quarter 2021. Chaime, please.
Chaime Orlev
Thank you, Amir, and good day everyone. As Amir noted, our business performed as anticipated in the first quarter. As we said, would be the case on prior calls, the transition of GLASSIA manufacturing to Takeda and the continued uncertainty in the operating environment created by the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, resulted in reduced revenues and profitability in the first quarter of 2021. And we expect this will continue throughout the year.
In this quarter, total revenues were $24.9 million, compared to $33.3 million for the first quarter of 2020, representing a 25% decrease. Total revenues in the first quarter included the recognition of the accelerated $5 million final sales-based milestone payment from Takeda under the amendment GLASSIA license agreement between the companies. During the quarter, we sold approximately $7 million of GLASSIA to Takeda, which are part of our overall expected $25 million in product revenues from the supply to the Takeda in 2021.
Importantly, upon the initiation of sales of GLASSIA manufactured by Takeda, we will receive royalty payments from the Takeda at the rate of 12% on net sales through August 2025, and at the rate of 6% thereafter until 2040, with a minimum of $5 million annually for each of the years, 2022 to 2040. Although the transition of the agreement to its royalty phase will result in a significant reduction of Kamada’s revenue from Takeda based on the current GLASSIA sales in the U.S., and the forecasted future growth. Kamada projects receiving royalties from Takeda in the range of $10 million to $20 million per year through 2040.
From profitability standpoints, gross profits for the first quarter of 2021 was $8.9 million down from $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. Gross margins were 36% from the first quarter of 2021, an increase from 34% gross margins in the first quarter of 2020. The reduction in gross profitability is associated with a decrease in the overall revenues, as well as a one-time inventory write-off of approximately $1.5 million.
Moving on, net income was $2.7 million or $0.06 per share on a fully diluted basis in the first quarter of 2021, as compared to net income of $5.2 million or $0.12 per share in the first quarter of 2020. Kamada continues to operate from a position of financial strength. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $109.5 million. As Amir indicated previously, we intend to use the line these cash resources for the expansion of our plasma collection activity and strategic business development opportunities.
That concludes our prepared remarks. We will now open the call for questions. Operator?
Question-and-Answer Session
Operator
[Operator Instructions] Our first question is from Anthony Petrone with Jefferies. Please proceed with your question.
Anthony Petrone
Thank you, and good morning. Good afternoon. I hope everyone’s doing well. I guess to me or maybe first, just the question on geopolitical front, just given the events over the past 48 hours, maybe just to address just manufacturing, supply chains, how are you thinking about potential impacts from the events over the last 48 hours or lack thereof? And then we could go into other questions. And of course, hope everyone’s family is doing well.
Amir London
Thanks, Anthony. We all well and safe and we have no concerns regarding supply and the continuation of our operation of the plant. Each one has been onto this type of situation for the past 20 years. And we didn’t take to stop our production even for one day, as a result of this. We’ve very strong security, very strong technology around the iron dome system. And we are all safe and secure. Thank you very much.
Anthony Petrone
Best wishes to everyone. Hopefully, it’s a speedy resolution. So in terms of a few comments referencing the prepared remarks and some of the items in the press release, Amir, maybe a little bit on the outlook for establishing a partnership for the inhaled Alpha-1 Antitrypsin product, where are the discussions at the moment? And if you look ahead, what sort of partnership should we be thinking about? Will it be regional commercialization effort, or will it be a single partner that has access to multiple geographies across the world? And then maybe to follow-up on AATD would be just – timings on the next clinical updates that we should be thinking about? And I have a couple of more.
Amir London
Okay. So as we mentioned on the call, we are in active discussions with potential authors and we all evaluating the different opportunities ahead of us. We’re looking at a commercialization partner that we’ll be investing in clinical development. And in return, we’ll have commercial rights for future, a commercialization as license for future commercialization of the product in different territories. In terms of really to be one partner for territories, will it be multiple partners, all alternatives are open. And we are evaluating the different options as a business partners that are showing interest in such collaboration. And in due time, we will update on progress that we will potentially be making.
Anthony Petrone
A few fobs would be when we look toward the transition the manufacturing, the BLA transition to Takeda on GLASSIA IV, is there a way to sort of estimate how much capacity is actually freed up at the plants and subsequently would be available for future CDMO agreements. And then you mentioned also, Amir, leveraging the balance sheet, how should we be thinking about investments allocated toward hyperimmune supply as opposed to potentially in-licensing agreements or even potential acquisitions of hyperimmune globulin products?
Amir London
Okay. So internal capacity, we developed to slow the affects now a little bit. Basically, you can look at the revenue that is basically being transferred into royalties. And from that, you can kind of calculate the capacity. In general, we are going to have sufficient capacity to take additional CDMO contracts, like the one that we’ve signed end of the 2019, and then we currently in the tech transfer sides of this product. As you may remember, we’ve announced that we signed an agreement for 12 years with the expectation that it’ll contribute between $8 million to $10 million a year to Kamada. Hopefully, we’re close to that $120 million in revenue over the 12 years contract starting 2023. We have the capacity to take additional similar contracts, but also remember that we are growing our catalog in manufacturing. And we’ve own additional a catalog or Kamada contracts like the WHO or Canada, where we are supplying the products.
The product is all on the registration in other territories. GLASSIA is growing ex-U.S., and GLASSIA undergoes on the registration in some territories, primarily Latin America. So we are growing organically, our current products, and this, of course, will fill some of the capacity that is going to be available after completion of the transition into Takeda. Adding to that CMO services and adding to that, additional potential products. All of this does not probably recover – Anthony, all of this does not fully recover all of the verbal capacity, and this is why we are downsizing the plant in terms of number of employees. And as we said, the resolve of downsizing, which is going to happen at the beginning of the third quarter of this year, we will result in 10% cost reduction in terms of our labor cost.
Anthony Petrone
And two quick follow-ups there, one on the 10% overall cost reduction is that just total costs throughout the P&L or is it mostly COGS or operating expenses or how is it mixed between COGS and operating expenses? And then the last one would be just on a plasma supply Beaumont, Texas. You mentioned additional plasma collection centers. Should we be expecting this year that you will continue to bolster plasma collection efforts throughout the remainder of the year and into next year? Thanks, again.
Amir London
Yes. So I’m not sure I fully heard the question, but difficult answer it completely. Please ask another question. In terms of the plasma collection capabilities, so for this year, we have two objectives. One is to expand the capacity of the current center and try to maximize its potential. And this is already in the work. And in parallel to that we have initiated the planning of expanding into opening additional centers. So we expect to complete the planning of this decision on centers later this year. And once, basically the plan is finalized we will move into the execution phase of opening additional centers. So the actual opening additional centers, is something planned most likely for next year.
In terms of the label costs. So we have been busy downsize or planning to downsize across the entire company, but primarily, of course, on the label, which is walking directly on the production, this is well due to the transition of last year to Takeda, we have lower utilization in the plant, and we are aligning the capacity to the needed demand. So majority of that 10% is related directly to the cost.
Anthony Petrone
Okay. Well, thank you very much. I’ll hop back in. Thank you.
Operator
And our next question is from Keay Nakae with Chardan Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question.
Keay Nakae
Thanks. You can give us an update on the status of enrollment in the inhaled clinical steps.
Amir London
Yes. Thanks. So we did not provide exact numbers, what I can definitely say that, as you know, we initiated the study end of 2019 with suspension team, the site that was open has been kept open to the entire COVID situation in Europe, the site is in the Netherlands. Additional sites are ready to be open. And now as the COVID situation improves across Europe and the U.S. we will be looking into opening additional sites. So that’s part of our plan and in part to that we are walking on the business development side of the program concurrently and looking to engage as a commercial partner.
Keay Nakae
Okay. With respect to the hyperimmune plasma for COVID that you’re selling in Israel, can you tell us how much of that 5 million or I’m sorry, 500 patient revenue was recognized in Q1?
Amir London
So a significant pile of the $3.4 million has been sold already in Q1. The remaining is going to be supplied – is being supplied to the Ministry this quarter. So by the end of this quarter, the entire $3.4 million will be recognized. The treatment is well over 100 patients have been enrolled into the Israeli study that is sponsored and supervised for Israel Ministry of Health. In general, the COVID situation itself has been improving significantly, as you may know, with global vaccination, not global, nationwide vaccination program, so current recruitment into the study slow because there aren’t many new patients being diagnosed.
We are in discussion with other governments – other countries in terms of the supply agreement. And as mentioned during the call, we have scaled up the production and we have sufficient plasma and sufficient production capacity and have a commercial line to be able to supply in greater quantities of the product to other governments and other Ministry of Health’s.
Keay Nakae
Okay. For the rabies hyperimmune, last year obviously impacted by lockdown situations. What are you seeing there as the outlook for that product as things begin to open up globally?
Amir London
Yes. So as we mentioned in previous calls, June 2020, the actual in market cells of the anti-rabies immunoglobulin, of course, lower than the original expectation because of the lockdown, because people did not spend much time out and the parks in the nature. And as a result of this, the inventory levels with Kedrion carried beginning of the year with high inventories, and this has its effect on our 2021 sales to Kedrion where they needs to consume the high inventory beginning of the year. As the U.S. South to be open and people are going to spend more time, especially now for the summer, we expect this high inventories to be consumed and that the rate of [indiscernible] our rate of sales to Kedrion will catch up again, as it was prior to the pandemic.
As you may remember, we already had over 20% market share in 2019, which was kind of the first full year of us selling with Kedrion product in the U.S. market. We expect this market share to continue growing. We believe that it can reach up to 45% to 60% of the overall market, which is over $150 million. So starting late 2021 into 2022, we expect this market to continue growing and the overall sales of the product as to Kedrion and Kedrion in market sales to extend significantly.
Keay Nakae
Okay. And then just final question about the plasma centers. I assume that most of the product will be used internally, but how much intermediates do you see being collected that you would sell to other parties?
Amir London
So for the foreseeable future, for the next few years, as you said, it’s going to be for internal use. We would like to be independent or close to independent, high premium plasma collection capabilities. This will lower our cost of goods. And it will give us a competitive advantage when we compete mainly in countries, this is based on tenders. Price is the main power for product selection. So we see our ability to collect plasma internally, dependently as a significant competitive advantage in our – part of us becoming a fully vertical specialty plasma company.
Keay Nakae
Okay. That’s all I have. Thanks.
Operator
[Operator Instructions] And it looks like we have reached the end of our question-and-answer session. And I’ll now turn the call over to Amir London for closing remarks.
Amir London
Thank you very much. So in closing, we remain confident in the strength of the fundamentals of our business and look forward to multiple organic commercial growth catalyst as well, further leveraging our FDA approved plasma-derived technology platform to quickly respond to emerging pandemic situations. We will leverage our core expertise in the development manufacturing and commercialization of plasma-derived therapeutics to become a vertically integrated company by extending our plasma collection capabilities and the evolution that has already started with the acquisition of the Texas-based plasma collection center. Moreover, our team remains focused on pursuing compelling business development opportunities, by utilizing our solid balance sheet. Thank you for joining us today for the call. And we look forward to providing you with further updates on our progress for the year. We hope you all stay healthy and safe. Thank you very much.
