+Added: by current liabilities of $49.8 million, as compared to working capital at December 31, 2022 of $231.1 million, primarily consisting of $163.3 million of inventory, cash and cash equivalents of $86.5 million and accounts receivable of $15.5
+Added: million, partially offset by current liabilities of $39.3 million.

Our material cash requirements are primarily comprised of:
−Removed: The procurement of raw material plasma and other raw materials necessary to maintain and scale up our manufacturing operations;
+Added: The collection and procurement of raw material source plasma, which includes plasma donor fees and plasma center supplies, and other raw materials necessary to maintain and scale up our manufacturing operations;
Employee compensation and benefits;

In addition, our end-to-end production cycle time from procurement of raw materials to commercial release of finished product can take between seven and 12 months or potentially longer, requiring substantial inventories of raw material plasma
−Removed: and other manufacturing materials and single use disposables.
−Removed: We expect that we will not be able to generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to achieve profitability until the beginning of 2024.
−Removed: We currently anticipate, based upon our projected revenue and expenditures,
−Removed: that our current cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable will be sufficient to fund our operations, as currently conducted, through the end of the first quarter of 2024, at which time we believe we will begin to generate positive cash flow
−Removed: from operations.
−Removed: This time frame may change based on several factors, including the success of our commercial efforts with respect to the sale of our products and the acceptability of our immune globulin products by physicians, patients or
−Removed: payers, and whether or not the assumptions underlying our projected revenues and expenses are correct.
−Removed: If we are unable to achieve positive cash flow by the beginning of 2024, we may need to raise additional capital and if such capital is not
−Removed: available due to widespread liquidity constraints or significant market instability that could result from the COVID-19 pandemic, inflationary pressures or other factors beyond our control, we may have to delay, curtail or eliminate some of our
−Removed: commercialization efforts or product development activities.
−Removed: If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to achieve positive cash flow by the beginning of 2024 and need to raise additional capital, we may decide to do so through public or
−Removed: private equity offerings or debt financings, or we may enter into a corporate collaboration or licensing arrangement.
−Removed: The sale of additional or equity debt securities, if convertible, could result in dilution to our stockholders and, in such
−Removed: event, the value and potential future market price of our common stock may decline.
−Removed: ADMA continues to evaluate a variety of strategic alternatives through its ongoing engagement with Morgan Stanley.
−Removed: The exploration of value-creating opportunities remains a top corporate priority for ADMA.
−Removed: On March 23, 2022, (the “Hayfin Closing Date”) we and all of our subsidiaries entered into a Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the “Hayfin Credit Agreement”) with Hayfin Services LLP (“Hayfin”).
−Removed: Hayfin Credit Agreement, as amended, provides for a senior secured term loan facility in a principal amount of up to $175.0 million (the “Hayfin Credit Facility”), composed of (i) a term loan made on the Hayfin Closing Date in the principal
−Removed: amount of $150.0 million (the “Hayfin Closing Date Loan”), and (ii) a delayed draw term loan in the principal amount of $25.0 million (the “Hayfin Delayed Draw Loan” and, together with the Hayfin Closing Date Loan, the “Hayfin Loans”).
−Removed: to an amendment to the Hayfin Credit Agreement dated March 22, 2023, the obligation of the lenders to make the Hayfin Delayed Draw Loan expires on June 30, 2023.
−Removed: The obligation of the lenders to make the Hayfin Delayed Draw Loan is subject to the
−Removed: satisfaction of certain conditions, including, but not limited to, our meeting certain 12-month revenue targets as set forth in the Hayfin Credit Agreement which have been met.
−Removed: The Hayfin Credit Facility has a maturity date of March 23, 2027 (the
−Removed: “Hayfin Maturity Date”), subject to acceleration pursuant to the Hayfin Credit Agreement, including upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Hayfin Credit Agreement).
−Removed: On the Hayfin Closing Date, we used $100.0 million of the Hayfin Closing Date Loan to terminate and pay in full all of the outstanding obligations under our previous senior credit facility with
−Removed: Perceptive (see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
−Removed: We also used $2.0 million of the Hayfin Closing Date Loan proceeds to pay a redemption premium to Perceptive and used approximately $1.0 million of the Hayfin Closing Date Loan
−Removed: proceeds to pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with this transaction.
−Removed: In addition, a $1.8 million upfront fee payable to Hayfin was paid “in kind” and was added to the outstanding principal balance in accordance with the terms
−Removed: of the Hayfin Credit Agreement.
−Removed: The remainder of the proceeds received or to be received from the Hayfin Loans will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
−Removed: Borrowings under the Hayfin Credit Agreement currently bear interest at the adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for either a one-month or three-month tenor, as elected by us, and
−Removed: subject to a floor of 1.25%, plus an applicable margin of 9.5% (the “Applicable Margin”);
−Removed: provided, however, that upon, and during the continuance of, an Event of Default, the Applicable Margin shall increase by an additional 3% per annum.
−Removed: will also pay “in kind” a portion of the interest on the Hayfin Loans for each monthly or quarterly interest period in an amount equal to 2.5% per annum.
−Removed: Such interest paid “in kind” will reduce our quarterly cash interest obligation by
−Removed: approximately $1.0 million and will be added to the principal amount of the outstanding debt under the Hayfin Credit Facility.
−Removed: As a result, our outstanding debt principal on the Hayfin Loans will increase each month as long as we elect to
−Removed: continue to pay a portion of our interest obligation “in kind.” On the Hayfin Closing Date and as of December 31, 2022, the stated interest rate on the Hayfin Loans interest rate was 10.75% and approximately 13.9%, respectively.
−Removed: interest rate in effect as of the date of this report, on the last day of each calendar month or quarter during the term of the Hayfin Credit Facility, we are required to pay accrued interest to Hayfin of approximately $1.6 million per month or
−Removed: approximately $4.7 million per quarter, after giving effect to the “in kind” interest of 2.5% per annum, but without giving effect to the Hayfin Delayed Draw Loan, which we have yet to draw upon.
−Removed: Our interest obligations under the Hayfin credit agreement are subject to variable interest rates based on the Term SOFR in effect at the beginning of each monthly interest period.
−Removed: With the global
−Removed: rise in interest rates, we expect our interest rate and our monthly cash interest obligation to be higher in fiscal 2023 as compared to previous years.
−Removed: For example, our stated interest rate, which was 10.75% for the month of June 2022, increased
−Removed: to approximately 12.06% for the month of September and was approximately 14.16% for the month of February 2023.
−Removed: On the Hayfin Maturity Date, we will pay Hayfin the entire outstanding principal amount underlying the Hayfin Loans and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as well as an exit fee of 1.0% of the
−Removed: outstanding principal amount being paid.
−Removed: Prior to the Hayfin Maturity Date, there are no scheduled principal payments on the Hayfin Loans.
−Removed: We may prepay outstanding principal on the Hayfin Loans at any time and from time to time upon five
−Removed: business days’ prior written notice, subject to the payment to Hayfin of, (A) any accrued but unpaid interest on the prepaid principal amount plus (B) a prepayment fee in the amount equal to (i) 7.0% of the prepaid principal amount, if prepaid on
−Removed: or prior to the first anniversary of the Hayfin Closing Date, (ii) 3.0% of the prepaid principal amount, if prepaid after the first anniversary of the Hayfin Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Hayfin Closing Date, or
−Removed: (iii) 1.0% of the prepaid principal amount, if prepaid after the second anniversary of the Hayfin Closing Date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the Hayfin Closing Date.
−Removed: In addition, for any prepayments of principal, we are required to
−Removed: pay the 1.0% exit fee for the amount of principal being paid.
−Removed: All of our obligations under the Hayfin Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority lien and security interest in substantially all of our tangible and intangible assets, including intellectual
−Removed: property and all of the equity interests in our subsidiaries.
−Removed: The Hayfin Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, affirmative covenants, negative covenants and conditions that are customarily required for similar
−Removed: The negative covenants restrict or limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to, among other things and subject to certain exceptions contained in the Hayfin Credit Agreement, incur new indebtedness;

+Added: For the year ended December 31, 2023 we had a net loss of loss of $28.2 million and achieved adjusted net income of $0.7 million which, as further described under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, excludes charges related
+Added: to the refinancing of our senior debt of $26.2 million and an IT systems disruption of $2.7 million, as well as positive cash flow from operations, both for the first time in our history.
+Added: However, at present we cannot be certain that we will be
+Added: able to continue to generate a sufficient amount of product revenue to achieve profitability on an ongoing basis.
+Added: We currently anticipate, based upon our projected revenue and expenditures, that our current cash, cash equivalents and accounts
+Added: receivable, along with our projected future operating cash flow, will be sufficient to fund our operations, as currently conducted, through the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025.
+Added: However, our current outlook with respect to cash flows and
+Added: profitability may change based upon several factors, including the success of our commercial efforts with respect to the sale of our products and the continued acceptability of our immune globulin products by physicians, patients or payers, and
+Added: whether or not the assumptions underlying our projected revenues and expenses are correct.
+Added: If we are unable to maintain positive cash flow throughout fiscal 2024, we may need to raise additional capital and if such capital is not available due to
+Added: widespread liquidity constraints or significant market instability that could result from international or global conflicts, economic uncertainty, COVID-19 or other pandemics, inflationary pressures or other factors beyond our control, we may have
+Added: to delay, curtail or eliminate some of our commercialization efforts or product development activities.
+Added: If we are unable to generate sufficient revenue to maintain positive cash flow throughout fiscal 2024 and need to raise additional capital, we
+Added: may decide to do so through public or private equity offerings or debt financings, or we may enter into a corporate collaboration or licensing arrangement.

+Added: ADMA continues to evaluate a variety of strategic alternatives, and the exploration of value-creating opportunities remains a top corporate priority.
