Management Commentary
ADMA delivered exceptional operating and financial results in 2024, with total revenues and Adjusted EBITDA growing 65% and 309% year-over-year, respectively.
We believe our recently secured long-term high-titer plasma supply agreements mark a transformative milestone, as they significantly expanded our plasma sourcing capacity and are expected to further de-risk both our near-term and long-term growth trajectories.
Ongoing FDA interactions reinforce our confidence in timely potential approval by mid-year 2025
Overall Sentiment: Positive. Management expresses strong confidence in the company's future prospects, driven by revenue growth, margin expansion, and strategic initiatives such as securing plasma supply and enhancing production processes. The transition to KPMG as auditor should instill confidence to stock holders.
