Kamada Reports Record-High First Half and Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results, Representing Double-Digit Profitable Growth and the Strongest in Kamada's History; Affirms 2026 Annual Guidance
REHOVOT, Israel and HOBOKEN, N.J., Aug. 12, 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 and six months ended June 30, 2026.
“We continue to execute on our plan delivering record-high operational and financial performance during the first half of 2026, with strong double-digit growth in revenues and adjusted EBITDA for both the six-month and second quarter reporting periods,” said Amir London, Kamada’s Chief Executive Officer. “The first half of the year was the strongest in Kamada’s history with revenues of $100.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $25.7 million, representing notable 26% margin of revenues. The underlying demand for our products, including KEDRAB ® in the U.S. market, as well as VARIZIG ® and HEPAGAM ®, continues to increase significantly. Based on our first half performance, representing approximately 50% of our annual guidance midpoints, 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.”
“For the second half of 2026, our focus continues to be on growing sales of our entire commercial 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 as the expansion of the Distribution business to the MENA region, which is already ongoing with new distribution agreements being signed. We continue to ramp up plasma collection at our Texas-based facilities in support of our new three-year sale agreement of approximately $50 million. Lastly, securing new business development and M&A opportunities remain a core focus, and we are committed to expanding our current commercial portfolio and accelerating our current annual double-digit organic growth in the years to come,” concluded Mr. London.

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.
