Robust Product Ramp Up Remains Key Positive: ADMA Biologics Inc. (NASDAQ: ADMA) operates as a biopharmaceutical company developing specialty plasma-derived biologics. ADMA has about six plasma collection centres in various stages of development. It plans to increase the count to 10 over the next three years.  Expansion of manufacturing capacity for its BIVIGAM plasma pool is underway. The company is expecting to realize the benefit by mid-2021. Its revenues improved in YTD Sep’20 on the back of commercial ramp-up of BIVIGAM and ASCENIV. But losses widened to $56.3 million owing to an increase in distribution costs and R&D spend. The company incurred substantial costs towards the development of MICRO-ELISA for the treatment of COVID-19.  It had a cash balance of $59.7 million as of Sep’20.
