“I am very pleased with our commercial team’s execution in 2019, which has put us in a strong position for 2020. We ended the year exceeding our fourth quarter net revenue guidance and achieved the top end of our full-year guidance,” said Robert G. Finizio, Chief Executive Officer of TherapeuticsMD. “Our goal is to build on this momentum as we make additional investments in our products to generate a significant revenue inflection point in 2020.”

• ANNOVERA has already achieved market access for the majority of lives under commercial plans with 75% commercial coverage.
• IMVEXXY^® (estradiol vaginal inserts) fourth quarter 2019 net revenue increased by 33% to $6.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2019. In the fourth quarter of 2019, approximately 123,000 IMVEXXY prescriptions were dispensed and paid for by patients. Average calculated net revenue per unit was approximately $51 for the fourth quarter of 2019. Strong IMVEXXY refill rates continued with patients adhering to therapy at an average rate of 4.4 fills through December 2019. Those patients on IMEXXY for one year averaged over six fills.
• IMVEXXY has market access for the majority of lives under commercial plans with 72% unrestricted commercial coverage. IMVEXXY is now covered by all of the top ten commercial payors of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA) products. Three of the top six Medicare Part D payors of VVA products cover IMVEXXY. Additional Medicare coverage is expected when the 2020 decisions are made for this class of products.
• BIJUVA^® (estradiol and progesterone) capsules fourth quarter 2019 net revenue increased 147% to $1.2 million compared to the third quarter of 2019.

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Revenue Performance

For the year ended December 31, 2019, net product revenue increased 112% to $34.1 million compared to $16.1 million for the prior year. Net product revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019 increased 94% to $15.9 million compared to $5.1 million for the prior year’s quarter.

Net product revenue increased primarily due to an increase in sales of $15.2 million of IMVEXXY for the year ended December 31, 2019, partially offset by a decrease in prenatal vitamin sales of $5.2 million. Product revenue for the year ended December 31, 2019 also included sales of BIJUVA of $1.8 million and sales of ANNOVERA of $6.2 million. The decrease in revenue related to our prenatal vitamins was primarily affected by a lower number of units sold as compared to the prior year period.

Net revenue for IMVEXXY and BIJUVA has been greatly affected by the company’s co-pay assistance programs introduced to provide products at a reasonable cost regardless of insurance coverage. The company expects net product revenue to improve as commercial and Medicare payor coverage increases, and plans complete the process needed to adjudicate IMVEXXY, BIJUVA and ANNOVERA prescriptions at pharmacies.

Expense, EPS and Related Information

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the full-year 2019 decreased to $19.8 million, compared with $27.3 million for the prior year. R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $4.4 million compared with $6.8 million for the prior year’s quarter. R&D costs decreased primarily as a result of transferring certain costs and activities from R&D expenses to operations as they begin to support commercial and launch efforts after the FDA approval of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA. R&D expenses include costs related to manufacturing validation as well as early development trials and employment costs of personnel involved in R&D activities.

Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the full-year 2019 increased to $174.1 million compared with $116.0 million for the prior year. SG&A expenses increased to $52.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 compared with $35.4 million for the prior year’s quarter. The increase in SG&A expenses for full-year and fourth quarter 2019 was primarily a result of increased expenses associated with sales and marketing efforts and personnel costs to support the launch and commercialization of IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA, including outsourced sales personnel and their related expenses, physician education, advertising, and travel expenses related to product commercialization. The company expects sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase as it continues the launch of BIJUVA and ANNOVERA and continues to support its growing business and commercialization of its products.

Net loss for the full-year 2019 was $176.1 million, or $0.72 per basic and diluted share, compared with $132.6 million, or $0.59 per basic and diluted share, for full-year 2018. For the fourth quarter of 2019, net loss increased to $49.4 million, or $0.19 per basic and diluted share, compared with $39.4 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2018.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2019, the company’s cash on hand totaled approximately $160.8 million, compared with approximately $161.6 million at December 31, 2018.

Total outstanding debt, net of issuance costs, was approximately $194.6 million as of December 31, 2019.

On February 18, 2020, the company received the second tranche of funding under its financing agreement with TPG Specialty Lending, Inc. in the amount of $50 million following the company’s achievement of $11 million in net revenues from IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA for the fourth quarter of 2019.

2020 Financial Guidance

The company projects that product net revenue for 2020 will be between $90 million to $110 million. The company projects that product net revenue during the second half of the year will be significantly larger than the first half with the majority of 2020 product net revenue coming from ANNOVERA and IMVEXXY. The company anticipates high deductible and annual copay resets will impact first quarter of 2020 revenue for its menopause products and expects first quarter 2020 product net revenue to come in below fourth quarter 2019 product net revenue.
