ADMA BioCenters Receives FDA Approval for its Sixth Plasma Collection Center, Located in Myrtle Beach, SC
FDA approval supports corporate goal of plasma supply self-sufficiency and ongoing revenue growth
Company is on-track to have all 10 plasma collection centers FDA-approved by year-end 2023
RAMSEY, N.J., BOCA RATON, Fla. and Myrtle Beach, SC. – June
27, 2022 – ADMA Biologics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADMA) (“ADMA”), an end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty plasma-derived biologics, today announced that it has received U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval for its sixth ADMA BioCenters plasma collection facility located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This plasma collection facility commenced operations and initiated source plasma collection in the fourth
quarter of 2021. With the approval announced today, this facility is now FDA-approved to collect and introduce into interstate commerce, human source plasma for further manufacturing in the U.S.
“The successful expansion of ADMA’s plasma collection network supports the Company’s goal of plasma supply self-sufficiency,
ongoing revenue growth objectives, and further supports the pathway towards profitability. The approval is a testament to the BioCenters team’s tireless commitment, and we thank the FDA for its efforts and expeditious review of the Myrtle Beach, SC
Biologics License Application (“BLA”), which came well in advance of ADMA’s anticipated approval date,” said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA.
“ADMA’s multi-year strategic initiative to establish plasma supply self-sufficiency is nearing a successful completion. The Company has ten plasma collection
centers under its corporate umbrella at various stages, six of which are now FDA-approved to collect normal source and RSV hyperimmune plasma. Importantly, the substantial capital investments required to support the BioCenters’ expansion have now
largely been made, and as a result, we expect to derive meaningful cost efficiencies from the business segment in the periods ahead. We anticipate the Company’s growing plasma supply position will enable ADMA to continue to expand its customer base
and grow revenues in the U.S. immunoglobulin market,” said Brian Lenz, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and General Manager, ADMA BioCenters.
This new, state-of-the-art plasma collection center features automated registration, high-tech collection equipment designed to shorten the donation process,
free Wi-Fi wireless network in the donor collection area, individual flat-screen TVs with cable at each donor station, and highly trained and certified staff who put donor comfort and safety first.
At full capacity, the
plasma center expects to maintain a staff of 50 highly trained healthcare workers. This center is approved to use the state-of-the-art Haemonetics NexSys Persona® plasma collection system.
