Challenges Ahead
A substantial portion of BIVIGAM revenues during the third quarter consisted of legacy 2,200-liter scale product, which yields a significantly lower margin compared to the current 4,400-liter batch production scale.
Historical Earnings Impact

The residual, lower margin inventory produced at the 2,200-liter scale is anticipated to be fully exhausted over the coming quarters
Net loss decreased by approximately $2.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2021, primarily attributed to higher gross profit of $9.3 million, partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in interest expense as a result of additional debt principal as well as rising interest rates.
Additional offsets during the third quarter of 2022 included increased plasma center operating expenses of $1.7 million attributed to having nine plasma centers in operation compared to five operating centers during the same period last year, as well as increased general and administrative expenses of $2.2 million resulting from increased headcount, commercialization, and marketing expenditures.
However, should current demand trends and margin dynamics sustain, accelerated profitability timelines may be achievable.
