Reiterates Confidence in ASCENIV Growth Outlook Driven by Durable Demand Fundamentals
Updates FY 2026 Outlook and Withdraws Long-Term Guidance to Reflect Evolving U.S. Plasma Products and IG Market Competitive Dynamics
RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, Fla., May 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADMA Biologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADMA) (“ADMA” or the “Company”), a U.S. based, end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty biologics, today announced its first quarter 2026 financial results and provided a business update.
“During the first quarter, the market for U.S. plasma derived therapies (PDT) and immunoglobulin (IG) experienced increased competitive dynamics which, along with variability in distributor ordering patterns, created near-term topline pressures, particularly impacting BIVIGAM,” said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA. “Importantly, these dynamics were limited to distribution and inventory behavior and we believe do not reflect any deterioration in underlying ASCENIV demand, where fundamentals remained strong and continue to improve – with record utilization growth throughout the quarter, as illustrated by ASCENIV’s 28% year-over-year revenue growth. We continue to see strength across key ASCENIV demand metrics, including record new patient starts, growing prescriber breadth, product pull-through and patient adherence, and we are encouraged that the second quarter run rate based on April demand is in-line with the level of first quarter direct sales.”
Mr. Grossman continued, “We believe the first quarter results likely represent a trough revenue baseline driven by what we anticipate is a temporary market dislocation, and we expect to drive growth over the coming quarters. Despite this backdrop, in the quarter ADMA delivered 22% year-over-year Adjusted Net Income growth, 24% Adjusted EBITDA growth, expanded gross margins to 71% and generated $58 million of operating cash flow on revenue that was essentially flat – underscoring the resilience of our business model in a challenging PDT and IG landscape. We believe the current pricing environment and inventory dislocation in the U.S. IG and PDT market will prove temporary, and ADMA has remained disciplined in its pricing strategy. With ASCENIV demand at record levels, supported by durable and enduring fundamentals, and still forecasted to be early in its penetration curve, we remain confident in our ability to drive growth from this baseline through expanding margins and increasing cash generation. We also see meaningful long-term opportunity in SG-001, where our capital-efficient development approach and existing platform position us to leverage our commercial infrastructure, if approved, for a potentially rapid commercial ramp toward what we believe is a $300 to $500 million annual market opportunity.”
Updated Financial Guidance and Outlook
FY 2026 outlook reflects the rapidly changing competitive dynamics and sustained pressure with standard IG pricing throughout the balance of the year. ASCENIV growth outlook remains strong, supported by durable underlying demand fundamentals.
Commercial and Operational Execution Supporting Long-Term ASCENIV Growth
Audit Committee Review Reinforces Confidence in Business Practices. Following allegations of illicit channel stuffing and undisclosed related party transactions, the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors completed an internal review with the assistance of independent forensic accountants and external legal counsel, which concluded that ADMA has not engaged in any improper channel stuffing or any undisclosed related party transactions. The investigation also concluded that there is no evidence of any illegal activity. ADMA’s audited consolidated financial statements, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, remain unchanged and unadjusted from the date of filing, February 25, 2026, and the Company remains confident in its internal controls, financial reporting and commercial practices.
First Quarter 2026 Financial Results:
Total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $114.5 million, compared to $114.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. ASCENIV revenue of $97.5 million in the quarter demonstrated 28% growth year-over-year, while BIVIGAM revenue of $15.4 million declined by 54% compared to the prior year period. Revenue from the sale of intermediates and other products also declined year-over-year by $3.0 million.
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $80.8 million, compared to $61.1 million in the prior-year period, resulting in gross margin of 71% in 2026 compared to 53% in the prior-year period. The improved gross margins year-over-year reflect the product mix shift towards the higher margin ASCENIV as well as the continued impact of the Company’s yield enhanced manufacturing process approved in 2025.
Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were $2.6 million, compared to $0.8 million in the prior-year period, primarily due to the investments in the SG-001 development project.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were $26.7 million, compared to $24.1 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by higher employee-related costs of $2.4 million, which included the impact of share-based compensation modification related to the departure of the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer in the amount of $0.8 million, and increased headcount to support the business.
GAAP net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $45.3 million, compared to $26.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The 68% growth in GAAP net income year-over-year was driven primarily by a shift in product mix from BIVIGAM to ASCENIV and also benefited from the divestiture of three plasma collection centers during the quarter.
Adjusted Net Income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $40.7 million, representing 22% year-over-year growth.
Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $59.7 million, representing 24% year-over-year growth.

About ASCENIV™
ASCENIV (immune globulin intravenous, human – slra 10% liquid) is a plasma-derived, polyclonal, intravenous immune globulin (IVIG). ASCENIV was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2019 and is indicated for the treatment of primary humoral immunodeficiency (PI), also known as primary immune deficiency disease (PIDD), in adults and children (2 to 17 years of age). ASCENIV is manufactured using ADMA’s unique, patented plasma donor screening methodology and tailored plasma pooling design, which blends normal source plasma and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) plasma obtained from donors tested using the Company’s proprietary microneutralization assay. ASCENIV contains naturally occurring polyclonal antibodies, which are proteins that are used by the body’s immune system to neutralize microbes such as bacteria and viruses that safeguard against infection and disease. ASCENIV is protected by numerous issued patents in the United States and internationally and a wide range of patent applications worldwide. Certain data and other information about ASCENIV can be found by visiting www.asceniv.com. Information about ADMA and its products can be found on the Company’s website at www.admabiologics.com.
Additional Important Safety Information About ASCENIV™
| WARNING: THROMBOSIS, RENAL DYSFUNCTION AND ACUTE RENAL FAILURE |
| Thrombosis may occur with immune globulin intravenous (IGIV) products, including ASCENIV. Risk factors may include: advanced age, prolonged immobilization, hypercoagulable conditions, history of venous or arterial thrombosis, use of estrogens, indwelling vascular catheters, hyperviscosity, and cardiovascular risk factors. Renal dysfunction, acute renal failure, osmotic nephrosis, and death may occur with the administration of IGIV products in predisposed patients. Such events require immediate medical intervention, if not recognized or managed appropriately, may result in persistent or significant disability or lead to fatal outcome. For patients at risk of thrombosis, renal dysfunction or renal failure, administer ASCENIV at the minimum dose and infusion rate practicable. Ensure adequate hydration in patients before administration. Monitor for signs and symptoms of thrombosis and assess blood viscosity in patients at risk for hyperviscosity. |
ASCENIV™ Contraindications:
History of anaphylactic or severe systemic reactions to human immunoglobulin.
IgA deficient patients with antibodies to IgA and a history of hypersensitivity.
ASCENIV™ Warnings and Precautions:
IgA-deficient patients with antibodies against IgA are at greater risk of developing severe hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions. Have medications such as epinephrine available to treat any acute severe hypersensitivity reactions. [4, 5.1]
Thrombotic events have occurred in patients receiving IGIV treatments. Monitor patients with known risk factors for thrombotic events; consider baseline assessment of blood viscosity for patients at risk of hyperviscosity. [5.2, 5.4]
In patients at risk of developing acute renal failure, monitor renal function, including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine, and urine output. [5.3, 5.9]
Hyperproteinemia, increased serum viscosity, and hyponatremia or pseudohyponatremia can occur in patients receiving IGIV treatment.
Aseptic meningitis syndrome (AMS) has been reported with IGIV treatments, especially with high doses or rapid infusion. [5.5]
Hemolytic anemia can develop subsequent to IGIV treatment. Monitor patients for hemolysis and hemolytic anemia. [5.6]
Monitor patients for pulmonary adverse reactions (Transfusion-related acute lung injury [TRALI]). If transfusion related acute lung injury is suspected, test the product and patient for antineutrophil antibodies. [5.7]
Because this product is made from human blood, it may carry a risk of transmitting infectious agents, e.g., viruses, and theoretically, the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) agent.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income as key performance measures because it believes that they facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period that exclude potential differences driven by the impact of variations of non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, as well as, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, stock-based compensation or certain non-recurring items, and in the case of Adjusted Net Income, certain non-recurring items. The Company believes that investors should have access to the same set of tools used by its management and Board of Directors to assess its operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. Accordingly, these key business metrics have limitations as an analytical tool. They should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Please refer to the tables below for the reconciliation of GAAP measures to these non-GAAP measures for applicable periods.
