Financial Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
At March 31, 2017, ADMA had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $8.8 million, as compared to approximately $15.3 million at December 31, 2016.
The consolidated net loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 was approximately $6.5 million, or ($0.51) per share, as compared to a consolidated net loss of approximately $4.6 million, or ($0.43) per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016. ADMA reported revenues of approximately $2.6 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, compared to approximately $2.1 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016, which represents approximately 24% growth quarter-over-quarter. This growth was primarily attributable to sales generated from our second plasma center pursuant to our plasma supply agreement with SK Plasma Co., Ltd. The quarter-over-quarter increased net loss of approximately $1.9 million was primarily attributable to increased general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.6 million as a result of fees incurred for the proposed acquisition of the Biotest Therapy Business Unit, comprised of legal, accounting, financial advisory fees related to the issuance of a fairness opinion, and due diligence fees, in addition to increased cost of product revenue directly related to the increase in product revenue. Included in the net loss for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 were non-cash expenses of approximately $0.2 million for stock-based compensation and approximately $0.1 million for depreciation and amortization.
