ADMA Biologics Announces $125 Million Accelerated Share Repurchase with JPMorgan as Part of a Planned $200 Million 2026 Total Share Repurchase Initiative
RAMSEY, N.J. and BOCA RATON, Fla., March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADMA Biologics, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADMA) ("ADMA" or the "Company"), a U.S. based, end-to-end commercial biopharmaceutical company dedicated to manufacturing, marketing and developing specialty biologics, today announced a capital return initiative target of approximately $200 million during 2026, including the execution of a $125 million accelerated share repurchase ("ASR") agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association ("JPMorgan"). The initiative underscores the Company's strong financial position, durable free cash flow profile and confidence in its long-term growth trajectory.
"We believe ADMA's common stock represents the most compelling near-term capital deployment opportunity available to the Company," said Adam Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer of ADMA. "Given our sustained revenue growth, expanding margins and an anticipated acceleration in go-forward cash flow generation, we believe we are well positioned to continue investing in our strategic growth initiatives while returning significant capital to stockholders. We view our common stock as meaningfully undervalued relative to the strength and durability of our business and remain highly confident in our ability to drive substantial long-term per-share value."
Under the terms of the ASR agreement, ADMA will pay JPMorgan an aggregate upfront amount of $125 million and will initially receive approximately 6.4 million shares of its common stock on or about March 3, 2026, representing approximately 80% of the shares expected to be repurchased under the ASR, based on the closing price of ADMA's common stock of $15.57 per share on February 27, 2026. The total number of shares ultimately repurchased will be based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock during the term of the ASR, less an agreed discount, and is expected to be completed within the next five months. At final settlement, the Company may receive additional shares or, under certain limited circumstances, may be required to deliver shares or make a cash payment, pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
The ASR agreement was executed pursuant to the Company's existing share repurchase program, under which the Company has up to $500 million authorized for repurchases. The Company intends to be opportunistic in deploying these repurchases, which may include repurchases under Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or in other open market transactions in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18 over the course of 2026, subject to market conditions and other factors.
Since the program's authorization in May 2025, between prior repurchases and the ASR, ADMA will have repurchased approximately $160 million of its common stock to date. Management believes these actions enhance long-term stockholder value and reflect a disciplined and opportunistic approach to capital allocation.
