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.

• 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.

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.
