Revenues for First Quarter of 2024 were $37.7 Million, Representing a 23% Increase Year-over-YearFirst Quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA of $7.5 Million, Representing a 96% Increase Year-over-YearMomentum Primarily Driven by U.S. Sales of the Company’s Two Most Significant Catalysts, KEDRAB® and CYTOGAM®Strong First Quarter Results and Positive Outlook for Remainder of 2024 Support Increase of Full-Year Revenue Guidance to $158 Million-$162 Million and Adjusted EBITDA to $28 Million-$32 Million Conference Call and Live Webcast Today at 8:30 AM ET REHOVOT, Israel and HOBOKEN, N.J., May 08, 2024 (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, 2024. “We are excited by our strong financial and operational start to 2024, which has us well-positioned for a highly successful year,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “Total revenues for the first quarter of 2024 were $37.7 million, representing a 23% increase year-over-year, and adjusted EBITDA was $7.5 million, nearly double as compared to the first quarter of last year and representing a 20% margin of revenues. While we benefit from the strength of our entire portfolio, we continue to effectively leverage the two most important growth drivers in our business, KEDRAB® and CYTOGAM®. For CYTOGAM, our active promotion of the product, supported by recently published new clinical data, is driving increased demand, and we are encouraged by the continued growth being demonstrated by KEDRAB.” “Based on our strong performance in the first quarter and our expectation for the continued momentum in our business throughout 2024, we are raising our full-year 2024 revenue guidance to be between $158 million to $162 million from the previous forecast of $156 million to $160 million. We are also increasing our adjusted EBITDA guidance to $28 million to $32 million from the initial guidance of $27 million to $30 million. Importantly, we continue to pursue compelling new business development opportunities, leveraging our overall financial strength. These opportunities are expected to support continued growth at double-digit rates beyond 2024,” added Mr. London. “Patient enrollment continues in our ongoing pivotal Phase 3 InnovAATe clinical trial for the inhaled Alpha-1 Antitrypsin therapy for the treatment of AAT Deficiency. Following recent positive feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through which the FDA expressed its willingness to potentially accept a P<0.1 alpha level in evaluating InnovAATe for meeting the efficacy primary endpoint for registration, we recently filed an IND amendment with both a revised Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) and study protocol, and we expect further FDA feedback during the second half of 2024. If approved, these changes may allow for the acceleration of the program,” concluded Mr. London. Financial Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Total revenues were $37.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, a 23% increase from the prior year period. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to increased sales of CYTOGAM due to increased demand for the product in the U.S. market, as well as increased sales of KEDRAB to Kedrion due to increased market share in the U.S.Gross profit and gross margins were $16.8 million and 44%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $11.9 million and 39%, respectively, reported in the prior year period. Cost of goods sold in the Company’s Proprietary segment for each of the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 included $1.3 million of depreciation expenses associated with intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition.Operating expenses, including R&D, Sales & Marketing (S&M), G&A and other expenses, totaled $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to $11.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. S&M costs for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 included $0.4 million of amortization expenses of intangible assets generated through the IgG products acquisition.Net income was $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share, in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to a net loss of $1.8 million, or $(0.04) per share, in the first quarter of 2023.Adjusted EBITDA, as detailed in the tables below, was $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, a 96% increase from the $3.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.Cash provided by operating activities was $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. Balance Sheet Highlights As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $48.2 million, as compared to $55.6 million on December 31, 2023. The decrease in cash balance was attributable to capital investments made with respect to the construction of our new plasma collection center in Uvalde, Texas, and payment on account of long-term liabilities associated with the acquisition completed in November 2021. Recent Corporate Highlights During the first quarter of 2024, Kamada completed the successful launch in Israel of BEVACIZUMAB KAMADA, the biosimilar to Avastin®, which is indicated for the treatment of certain types of cancer, including colon cancer and metastatic breast cancer. This represents the first biosimilar product to be launched and distributed by Kamada in Israel. The product is manufactured by mAbxience Research S.L., from Madrid, Spain. Fiscal Year 2024 Guidance Based on the Company’s strong performance in the first quarter and its expectation for continued momentum in the business throughout 2024, Kamada is increasing its fiscal year 2024 total revenue guidance from a range of $156 million to $160 million to a range of $158 million to $162 million, and adjusted EBITDA from a range of $27 million to $30 million to a range of $28 million to $32 million, representing double digit top- and bottom-line growth year-over-year.

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 2024 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.
