TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (“TXMD” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: TXMD), an innovative, leading women’s healthcare company, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021. In addition, today the Company announced a significant cost savings initiative designed to reduce its annual costs in 2022 by at least $40 million. This figure does not include savings from, or the costs associated with, the divestiture of vitaCare, which are estimated at approximately $20 million annually.

“We have made significant changes to our business strategy, which we believe will help us achieve our goal of EBITDA breakeven in the second half of 2022. Specifically, we put a cost savings plan in place and we have implemented a more concerted focus on healthcare professionals. These refinements are already yielding results, as evidenced by the steady progress made during the third quarter, notably the strong year-over-year growth in ANNOVERA prescriptions,” said Hugh O’Dowd, President of TherapeuticsMD.

“I would like to thank Rob for his leadership and vision in creating an innovative healthcare company with products that benefit women across their lifecycles. I would also like to formally welcome Mark Glickman as our Chief Commercial Officer. His commercial acumen is already having a positive impact on our day-to-day operations. Looking ahead, I am confident that we can reduce our annual expenses significantly, deliver value to shareholders, and most importantly, bring our high-quality products to the women who need them,” concluded O’Dowd.

The contract manufacturing organization that manufactures ANNOVERA has recently experienced an increase in difficulties with the manufacturing process for ANNOVERA resulting in batch failures. The Company filed a supplemental NDA with the FDA to modify the manufacturing (testing) specification for ANNOVERA to allow for normal manufacturing variation that would increase the consistency of manufacturing and supply of ANNOVERA. The Company expects that the FDA will act on the supplemental NDA by the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) date of December 12, 2021. If the FDA does not approve the supplemental NDA by the PDUFA date, the Company may not be able to meet the revenue covenants under its Financing Agreement in the near term. The manufacturing difficulties relate only to our ability to meet the release specification, and any ANNOVERA rings currently being sold meet the exacting quality specifications. For more information regarding the covenants under the Financing Agreement, please see the Company’s filings with the SEC.
