[Q&A Highlights] Question 1: How does the Cytogam study differ from previous clinical data, and what population does it target? Answer: The SHIELD study tests Cytogam for late CMV prophylaxis after antiviral treatment, targeting high-risk kidney transplant recipients. This differs from current use at transplantation or active disease treatment. The study aims to reduce late CMV risk post-antiviral treatment.
Question 2: What is the status of AATD enrollment, and how is competition affecting it? Answer: Enrollment is at 60-65%, with competition from other studies. The futility analysis results are expected by year-end, potentially expediting recruitment. Completion is expected by early 2027, with top-line data in H1 2029.
Question 3: Is the recent distribution business growth sustainable? Answer: Yes, growth is driven by a richer product portfolio and new launches. This level of growth is expected to continue and expand over the next few years.
Question 4: How much plasma is being collected relative to needs, and when will self-sufficiency be achieved? Answer: Currently, the bulk of plasma collection is normal source plasma. Specialty plasma comes from the Beaumont site. Full self-sufficiency is not expected soon; diversification of suppliers will continue for risk management.
Question 5: How will interim data from the AATD clinical trial be released? Answer: Results will be shared via a press release. The analysis will be conducted by an unblinded external DSMB, assessing the probability of success based on predefined thresholds.
Question 6: What are the significant growth drivers year to date? Answer: Growth is driven by diverse products, including Glacia in ex-US markets, Varizig in the US, and the Israeli distribution business. Cytogam sales have been below plan but are expected to resume growth.
Question 7: What is the outlook for Glacia royalties? Answer: Royalties declined to 6% but are expected to remain above $10 million in 2026, with a long-term agreement through 2040. The diverse portfolio compensates for the reduction.
Question 8: What is the status of current BD activities? Answer: Active due diligence continues, with expected transaction execution in early 2026. Thorough due diligence is being conducted to ensure the right fit for Kamada.
[Sentiment Analysis] Analysts were positive, focusing on growth drivers and strategic initiatives. Management was confident, emphasizing diverse revenue streams and long-term growth plans.
[Risks and Concerns] - Enrollment challenges in the AATD study due to competition. - Cytogam sales below plan due to inventory management and fewer transplants. - Dependence on external plasma suppliers for specialty plasma.

The company remains focused on achieving its full-year guidance and advancing its growth strategy through new product launches, plasma collection expansion, and M&A activities. Despite some challenges, the outlook remains positive with significant growth potential in the near and long term.
