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.

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.

Importantly, we continue to pursue compelling new business development opportunities, leveraging our overall financial strength.
