TherapeuticsMD Announces First Quarter 2016 Financial Results

TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NYSE MKT: TXMD), an innovative women’s healthcare company, today announced its first quarter financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

First Quarter and Recent Developments

• Net revenue from the company’s prescription prenatal vitamin business increased 10 percent to approximately $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared with approximately $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2015.
• Net loss was approximately $21.0 million for the first quarter of 2016, compared with approximately $20.9 million for the first quarter of 2015.
• Ended the quarter with approximately $182.1 million in cash and no debt.
• Presented posters at ENDO 2016 and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH) Annual Meeting 2016 detailing results of the phase 3 Rejoice Trial for Yuvvexy, the conditionally approved trade name for TX-004HR, an applicator-free vaginal estradiol softgel drug candidate for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vaginal pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA) due to menopause. The findings showed patients treated with Yuvvexy achieved a statistically significant improvement over placebo across all four co-primary endpoints at all three doses evaluated. A New Drug Application filing is planned for Yuvvexy by end of June 2016.
• Exited approximately 1,500 of the 1,750 patients enrolled in the Replenish Trial, a phase 3 clinical trial of TX-001HR, a combination estradiol and progesterone drug candidate, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms due to menopause. Topline results are currently anticipated late in the fourth quarter of 2016.
• Launched VitaTrue™, the first certified vegan and kosher prescription prenatal multivitamin, which expands the company’s line of prescription prenatal vitamin products and further strengthens its women’s health capabilities.
• Grew the company’s intellectual property portfolio to a current total of 134 patent filings, including 72 international filings, with 17 issued U.S. patents.
• Strengthened relationships with key medical, pharmacy, patient and industry organizations worldwide.

“During the first quarter, we successfully executed on our goals across the company,” said TherapeuticsMD CEO Robert G. Finizio. “We presented detailed phase 3 data from the Rejoice Trial at multiple conferences, and we are preparing to file our NDA for TX-004HR, the first of our two novel pipeline candidates in development to treat symptoms of menopause. We also expect topline data late in the fourth quarter of 2016 from our Replenish Trial for TX-001HR. We remain optimistic about the potential of our pipeline products and intend to leverage them, along with our current commercial infrastructure, to establish a leadership position in women’s health.”

Summary of First Quarter 2016 Financial Results

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, net revenue from the company’s prescription prenatal vitamins was approximately $4.9 million compared with net revenue of approximately $4.5 million for the prior year’s quarter. Revenue growth during the quarter was primarily driven by an increase in the number of units sold and an increase in the average sales price of the company’s prenatal vitamin products, partially offset by the impact of annual changes in insurance plans.

Cost of goods sold was approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared with approximately $1.0 million in the prior year’s quarter.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 included research and development (R&D) expenses and sales, general and administrative expenses (SG&A). R&D expenses during the first quarter of 2016 were approximately $15.1 million compared to approximately $18.2 million during the prior year’s quarter, reflecting a decline in the company’s clinical trial costs, partially offset by an increase in scale-up and manufacturing activities to support commercialization. SG&A expenses for the first quarter of 2016 were approximately $9.7 million compared with approximately $6.2 million for the prior year’s quarter, primarily due to an increase in share-based compensation expense.

Non-operating income was insignificant for the first quarter of both 2016 and 2015 and included primarily interest income for both periods.

Net loss for the first quarter of 2016 was approximately $21.0 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared with approximately $20.9 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2015.

At March 31, 2016, cash on hand was approximately $182.1 million, compared with approximately $64.7 million at December 31, 2015.
