Conference Call Today at 8:30 AM ET

REHOVOT, Israel – November 13, 2017 -- Kamada Ltd. (Nasdaq: KMDA) (KMDA.TA), a plasma-derived protein therapeutics company focused on orphan indications, today announced financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.

"We had a very solid third quarter on all fronts," said Amir London, Kamada's Chief Executive Officer. "Total quarterly revenues of \$23 million represented a year-over-year increase of 18%, and contributed to revenues for the first nine months of 2017 of \$67 million, which was an increase of 26% over the first nine months of 2016. Our revenue growth continues to be driven by the higher Glassia® sales in the US. From a profitability standpoint, we generated positive operating and net income over the first nine months of the year. Following our strong performance through the first nine months of 2017, we remain confident in our ability to attain our previously stated guidance of reaching \$100 million in total revenue in 2017.

"We were also pleased to have received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in the third quarter for our Anti-Rabies IgG, KEDRAB™, and look forward to launching this product in the U.S. in collaboration with Kedrion, our strategic partner, early in 2018. With the continued growth of sales of Glassia in the U.S. and our planned launch of KedRAB, we are expecting total revenues in 2018 to be in the range of \$116 to \$120 million, or 16%-20% revenue growth for 2018 compared to 2017's anticipated revenues. Moreover, following our \$15.6 million equity offering, which closed in the third quarter, we are in an extremely strong financial position as we head into 2018," continued Mr. London.

"Looking ahead, we have multiple expected upcoming clinical milestones, including finalization of our discussions with the FDA on our proprietary inhaled Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) for the treatment of AAT Deficiency and upon approval, the initiation of a U.S. Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial, expected in the second half of 2018. We are also looking forward to making progress in the Company's clinical program for our AAT-IV for the treatment of acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GvHD), and determining the appropriate next steps forward in our clinical program for the treatment of newly diagnosed Type-1 Diabetes patients based on the recently announced Phase 2 results. Finally, we also expect the availability of the interim report from our ongoing Phase 2 trial with IV AAT for lung transplantation before year-end 2017," added Mr. London.

• Total revenues were \$67.1 million, a 26% increase from \$53.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
• Revenues from the Proprietary Products segment were \$50.6 million, a 32% increase from \$38.3 million reported in the same period of 2016.
• Revenues from the Distributed Products segment were \$16.5 million, an 11% increase from the \$15.0 million reported in the same period of 2016.
• Gross profit was \$20.5 million, a 23% increase from the \$16.7 million reported in the same period of 2016.

Recent Corporate Highlights:

Rabies is a lifethreatening condition that impacts approximately 40,000 people in the U.S. each year, representing an annual market opportunity of \$100 million-plus. KEDRAB will launch in the U.S. in early 2018.
• Announced top-line results from Phase 2 trial of AAT in newly diagnosed type-1 diabetes, or T1D, patients. While no significant treatment effect was observed in the overall study population, in the pre-determined subgroup of patients between the ages of 12 and 18 years old, a trend toward better efficacy was demonstrated in the high-dose arm of AAT. Based on the top-line results of this study, Kamada, and its external TID key opinion leaders, believe that further studies in a larger population are warranted. Once the full data from this study are available, the Company will evaluate the collective results in order to determine the appropriate next steps forward.
• Submitted to the FDA for review a proposed pivotal Phase 3 protocol for Kamada's inhaled Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) therapy (Inhaled AAT) for the treatment of AATD. Kamada expects a response from the FDA in regards to the proposed protocol and will submit additional data at the beginning of 2018. If approved by the FDA, the Company intends to proceed with a U.S. Phase 3 pivotal clinical trial in the second half of 2018.
• Closed an underwritten public offering for net proceeds of \$15.6 million to be used to fund clinical development programs.
• Announced a collaboration for advanced research on AAT with a focus on mechanism of action with BGN Technologies, the business arm of Ben Gurion University (BGU). Professor Eli Lewis, Department of Clinical Biochemistry and Pharmacology at BGU, and one of the world's foremost AAT investigators, will lead the collaboration. The planned research studies will

serve as a scientifically and regulatory well-founded background to compare recombinant human AAT products that are developed as part of Kamada's potential future pipeline.

About Kamada

Kamada Ltd. is focused on plasma-derived protein therapeutics for orphan indications, and has a commercial product portfolio and a robust late-stage product pipeline. The Company uses its proprietary platform technology and know-how for the extraction and purification of proteins from human plasma to produce Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) in a highly-purified, liquid form, as well as other plasma-derived Immune globulins. AAT is a protein derived from human plasma with known and newly-discovered therapeutic roles given its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, tissueprotective and antimicrobial properties. The Company's flagship product is GLASSIA®, the first liquid, ready-to-use, intravenous plasma-derived AAT product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Kamada markets GLASSIA® in the U.S. through a strategic partnership with Baxalta (now part of Shire plc) and in other counties through local distributors. In addition to GLASSIA®, Kamada has a product line of seven other pharmaceutical products administered by injection or infusion, that are marketed through distributors in more than 15 countries, including Israel, Russia, Brazil, India and other countries in Latin America and Asia. Kamada has five latestage plasma-derived protein products in development, including an inhaled formulation of AAT for the treatment of AAT deficiency. In addition, Kamada's intravenous AAT is in development for other indications, such as type-1 diabetes, GvHD and prevention of lung transplant rejection. Kamada's rabies immune globulin (Human) product received FDA approval for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis against rabies infection in August 2017. Kamada also leverages its expertise and presence in the plasma-derived protein therapeutics market by distributing more than 10 complementary products in Israel that are manufactured by third parties.
