THERAPEUTICSMD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY

 

TherapeuticsMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation, or TherapeuticsMD or the Company, has 3 wholly owned subsidiaries, vitaMedMD, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or VitaMed; BocaGreenMD, Inc., a Nevada corporation, or BocaGreen; and VitaCarevitaCare Prescription Services, Inc., a Florida corporation, or VitaCare.vitaCare. Unless the context otherwise requires, TherapeuticsMD, VitaMed, BocaGreen, and VitaCarevitaCare collectively are sometimes referred to as “our company,” “we,” “our,” or “us.” TherapeuticsMD®, vitaMedMD®, BocaGreenMD®, IMVEXXY® and, BIJUVA® and ANNOVERA®are registered trademarks of our company and ANNOVERA™ is a licensed trademark of our company.

 

Nature of Business

 

We are a women’s healthcare company with a mission of creating and commercializing innovative products to support the lifespan of women from pregnancy prevention through menopause. At TherapeuticsMD, we combine entrepreneurial spirit, clinical expertise, and business leadership to develop and commercialize health solutions that enable new standards of care for women. Our solutions range from a patient-controlled, long-lasting contraceptive to advanced hormone therapy pharmaceutical products. We also manufacture and distribute branded and generic prescription prenatal vitamins under the vitaMedMD and BocaGreenMD brands. Our portfolio of products focused on women’s health allows us to efficiently leverage our sales and marketing plan to grow our recently approved products. During 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approval of our pharmaceutical products has transitioned our company from predominately focused on conducting research and development to one focused on commercializing our pharmaceutical products. In July 2018, we launched our FDA-approved product, IMVEXXY (estradiol vaginal inserts) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe dyspareunia (vaginal pain associated with sexual activity), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, or VVA, due to menopause. In April 2019, we launched our FDA-approved product BIJUVA (estradiol and progesterone) capsules, our hormone therapy combination of bio-identical 17ß-estradiol and bio-identical progesterone in a single, oral softgel capsule, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms, or VMS, due to menopause in women with a uterus. In October 2019, we began a test and learn market introduction for our FDA-approved product ANNOVERA (segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol vaginal system), the first and only annual patient-controlled, procedure-free, reversible prescription contraceptive option for women. Although we expected to commence the full commercial launch of ANNOVERA in the first quarter of 2020, as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we paused the commercial launch of ANNOVERA and deferred sales and marketing initiatives into subsequent quarters as the pandemic began to negatively affect our revenue growth. We resumed the launch of ANNOVERA on July 1, 2020. On July 30, 2018, we entered into an exclusive license agreement, or the Population Council License Agreement, with the Population Council, Inc., or the Population Council, to commercialize ANNOVERA in the U.S. In addition, on July 30, 2018, we entered into a license and supply agreement, or the Knight License Agreement, with Knight Therapeutics Inc., or Knight, pursuant to which we granted Knight an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel. On June 6, 2019, we entered into an exclusive license and supply agreement, or the Theramex License Agreement, with Theramex HQ UK Limited, or Theramex, to commercialize BIJUVA and IMVEXXY outside of the U.S., excluding Canada and Israel, or the Theramex Territory.

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of TherapeuticsMD, Inc., which include our wholly owned subsidiaries, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, from which we derived the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, since they are interim statements, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of our management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any other interim period in the future.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

We arecontinue to be subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business iscontinues to be highly uncertain and difficult to predict, as the response to the pandemic is in its incipient stages and information is rapidly evolving. At this time, wepredict. We continue to provide an uninterrupted supply of our portfolio of products for patients. We have sufficient inventory of finished product to meet anticipated demand in the near future. Additionally, we currently do not foresee any interruption in our ability to continue to manufacture additional product to be used beyond this period and have sufficient active pharmaceutical ingredients on hand for the continued manufacture of our products.

WeSince the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have activatedbeen using substantial virtual options to ensure business continuity. Our VitaCarevitaCare Prescription Services patient model assists patients in obtaining easy and convenient access to their prescriptions for products at a retail pharmacy of their choice, including via home delivery retail pharmacy options. We have also partnered with independent community pharmacies and multiple third-party online pharmacies and telemedicine providers that focus on contraception or menopause to ensure patients have real-time access to both diagnosis and treatment. We continue to support prescribers’ needs with samples and product materials through our sales force. If access is restricted, we currently have mailing options in place for these materials. We also have business continuity plans and infrastructure in place that allows for virtual detailing.

We have also

As part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented measures to cut plannedreduce marketing expenses for 2020. However, we have the ability to re-accelerate our planned marketing spend for ANNOVERA and IMVEXXY should market conditions improve, or to extend or expand the cost cuts throughout 2020. We have also implemented cost savingssaving measures, which includeincluded negotiating lower fees or suspending services from third party vendors; implementing a company-wide hiring freeze;restriction; delaying or cancelling non-critical ITinformation technology projects; and eliminating non-essential travel, entertainment, meeting, and event expenses.

These savings can be extended further throughout 2020 or expanded depending on the

However, we remain committed to the execution of finished productour corporate goals, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as demonstrated in part by the increase of our warehouses to meet anticipated demand through at least early third quarter 2020 product revenues as compared to our second quarter 2020 product revenues. As of 2020. However, capital markets and economies worldwide have also been negatively impacted bythe date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements, the future extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and it is possible that it could cause a local and/may continue to materially impact our financial condition, liquidity, or global economic recession. Such economic disruption could have a material adverseresults of operations remains uncertain. We are continuing to assess the effect the COVID-19 pandemic on our business. Policymakers globally have responded with fiscal policyoperations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the various actions implemented to supportcombat the healthcare industry and economyvirus throughout the world. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a whole. The magnitude and overall effectivenessresult of these actions remains uncertain.any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future.

 

TheWhile we currently believe that our COVID-19 contingency plan has the ability to mitigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, the severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic, the duration of “social distancing” orders, the ability of our sales force to access healthcare providers to promote our products, increases in unemployment, which could reduce access to commercial health insurance for our patients, thus limiting payer coverage for our products, and the extent and severityimpact of the impactpandemic on our customers,global supply chain, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.uncertain. Our future results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely impactedaffected by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions, and uncertain demand, and the impact of any initiatives or programs that we may undertake to address financial and operations challenges that we may face.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our cash balance was above the $60 million balance as required by the Financing Agreement (as defined in Note 9 - Debt). On November 8, 2020, we and our subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Financing Agreement, or Amendment No. 6, with the Administrative Agent (as defined in Note 9 - Debt) and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which we temporarily lowered the minimum required cash balance from $60 million to $45 million through December 31, 2020. After December 31, 2020, the minimum cash balance will revert to $60 million. Based on our current projections, we will need to raise additional capital to remain in compliance with this minimum cash balance covenant for the next twelve months from the issuance of these condensedfinancial statements.

In order to address our projected capital needs, we are pursuing various equity financing and other alternatives including the sale of a controlling interest in vitaCare Prescription Services for which we commended a sale process and received initial indications of interest. The equity financing alternatives may include the private placement of equity, equity-linked, or other similar instruments or obligations with one or more investors, lenders, or other institutional counterparties or an underwritten public equity or equity-linked securities offering. Our ability to sell equity securities may be limited by market conditions. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of such securities, the ownership interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these new securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders.

Along with considering additional financings, we have reviewed numerous potential scenarios in connection with the impact of COVID-19 on our business including the impact of the recent steps we have taken to reduce our operating expenses in response. Based on our analysis, we believe that our existing cash reserves along with potential proceeds from the sale of certain non-core assets of the Company and proceeds from potential future financings, if available to us, would be sufficient to meet our cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

However, if we are unsuccessful with future financings and if the successful commercialization of IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, or ANNOVERA is delayed, or the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is worse than we anticipate, our existing cash reserves would be insufficient to maintain compliance with the Financing Agreement covenants or satisfy our liquidity requirements until we are able to successfully commercialize IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA. The presence of these projected factors in conjunction with the uncertainty of the capital markets raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the extentCompany is unable to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially impact our financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations is uncertain.continue as a going concern.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2018-13 which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The FASB developed the amendments to Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 820 as part of its broader disclosure framework project, which aims to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by focusing on requirements that clearly communicate the most important information to users of the financial statements. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our disclosures for the three months ended March 31, 2020.disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted no sooner than the first quarter of 2019. A modified retrospective approach is required for all investments, except debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to the effective date, which will require a prospective transition approach and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively depending on the nature of the disclosure. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 requires expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the Company’s expected credit losses. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 under a modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. There was no adjustment recorded for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13. The adoption expanded disclosures about our credit losses.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, and are not expected to, have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Trade accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. We review accounts receivable for uncollectible accounts and credit card chargebacks and provide an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, reasonable supportable forecasts and existing economic conditions and we record an allowance that presents the net amount expected to be collected. We evaluate trade accounts receivable for delinquency. We write off delinquent receivables against our allowance for doubtful accounts based on individual credit evaluations, the results of collection efforts, and specific circumstances of customers. We record recoveries of accounts previously written off when received as an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts. To the extent data we use to calculate these estimates does not accurately reflect bad debts, adjustments to these reserves may be required.

Our exposure to credit losses may increase if our customers are adversely affected by changes in healthcare laws, coverage, and reimbursement, economic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions, disruption associated with the current COVID-19 pandemic, or other customer-specific factors. Although we have historically not experienced significant credit losses, it is possible that there could be a material adverse impact from potential adjustments of the carrying amount of trade receivables in the future.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of such instruments, which are considered Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount for long-term debt as of March 31,September 30, 2020 (as disclosed in Note 9), approximates fair value based on market activity for other debt instruments with similar characteristics and comparable risk (Level 2).

 

We categorize our assets and liabilities that are valued at fair value on a recurring basis into a three-level fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, or ASC 820. 820. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value are categorized based on a hierarchy of inputs, as follows:

 

Level 1unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
Level 3unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2

quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

Level 3

unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

 

At March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, we had no0 assets or liabilities that were valued at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

The fair value of indefinite-lived assets is measured on a non-recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in connection with any required impairment test. There was no impairment of intangible assets duringDuring the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019.2019, we wrote off $584,509

and $78,864, respectively, in costs related to trademarks and patents.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

We measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. We amortize such compensation amounts, if any, over the respective service periods of the award. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, or the Black-Scholes Model, an acceptable model in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, to value options. Option valuation models require the input of assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based awards, the estimated stock price volatility, the risk-free interest rate, and the expected dividend yield. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates on zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds whose maturity period is appropriate for the term of the instrument. Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which our stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the term of the award. On January 1, 2017, we began using our own stock price in our volatility calculation along with the other peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available that were similar to our company and in 2019 we started using only our own stock price in the volatility calculation. Our calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices over a period equal to the expected term of the awards. On January 1, 2020, we began calculating the expected term of our stock-based awards, which represents the period that the stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding. Prior to January 1, 2020, the average expected life of options was based on the contractual terms of the stock option using the simplified method. We utilize a dividend yield of zero based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends and have no current intention to pay cash dividends. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-basedstock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. We recognize the compensation expense for share-based compensation granted based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with ASC 718. We generally recognize the compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the employee’s requisite service period. Effective January 1, 2017, we account for forfeitures when they occur. On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2018-07 which simplified the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees, with certain exceptions. The new guidance expanded the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payments granted to non-employees in exchange for goods or services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations and superseded the guidance in ASC 505-50. Prior to January 1, 2019, equity instruments issued to non-employees were recorded on a fair value basis, as required by ASC 505, Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.

We grant performance-based stock awardsunits and restricted stock awardsunits for shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or Common Stock, to employees. We value our restricted stock awardsunits and our performance-based stock awardsunits by reference to our stock price on the date of grant. We have elected to recognize compensation expense for restricted stock units based on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the entire award. We recognize performance-based restricted stock as compensation expense based on the most likely probability of attaining the prescribed performance and over the requisite service period beginning at its grant date and through the date the restricted stock vests. The number of target shares that vest are determined based on the level of attainment of the targets. If a minimum level of performance is attained for the awards, restricted stock is issued based on the level of attainment. We recognize performance-based restricted stock as compensation expense based on the most likely probability of attaining the prescribed performance and over the requisite service period beginning at the grant date and through the date the restricted stock vests.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy the performance obligation.

 

Prescription Products

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2020, our products consisted primarily of prescription vitamins and our FDA-approved products: IMVEXXY, which we began selling during the third quarter of 2018, and BIJUVA, which we began selling in the second quarter of 2019. We started2019, and ANNOVERA, which we began selling ANNOVERA in the third quarter of 2019. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we paused the commercial launch of ANNOVERA in the first quarter of 2020 and deferred sales and marketing initiatives into subsequent quarters. We resumed the launch of ANNOVERA on July 1, 2020.

10 

We sell our name brand and generic prescription products primarily through wholesale distributors and retail pharmacies. We have one performance obligation related to prescription products sold through wholesale distributors, which is to transfer promised goods to a customer, and two performance obligations related to products sold through retail pharmacies, which are to: (1) transfer promised goods and (2) provide customer service for an immaterial fee. We treat shipping as a fulfillment activity rather than as a separate obligation. We recognize prescription product revenue only when we satisfy performance obligations by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. A good or service is considered to be transferred when the customer receives the goods or service or obtains control. Control refers to the customer’s ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, an asset. Based on our contracts, we invoice customers once our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. We disclose receivables from contracts with customers separately in the statement of financial position. Payment for goods or services sold by us is typically due between 30 and 60 days after an invoice is sent to the customer.

 

The transaction price of a contract is the amount of consideration which we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Prescription products are sold at fixed wholesale acquisition cost, or WAC, determined based on our list price. However, the total transaction price is variable as it is calculated net of estimated product returns, chargebacks, rebates, coupons, discounts and wholesaler fees. These estimates are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the customer) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than a customer). In order to determine the transaction price, we estimate the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract or each variable consideration. The estimated amount of variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative product revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. In determining amounts of variable consideration to include in a contract’s transaction price, we rely on our historical experience and other evidence that supports our qualitative assessment of whether product revenue would be subject to a significant reversal. We consider all the facts and circumstances associated with both the risk of a product revenue reversal arising from an uncertain future event and the magnitude of the reversal if that uncertain event were to occur. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our original estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such changes in estimates become known.

10

 

We accept returns of unsalable prescription products sold through wholesale distributors within a return period of six months prior to and up to 12 months following product expiration. Our vitamins and IMVEXXY currently have a shelf life of 24 months from the date of manufacture and BIJUVA and ANNOVERA currently have a shelf life of 18 months from the date of manufacture. We do not allow product returns for prescription products that have been dispensed to a patient. We estimate the amount of our product sales that may be returned by our customers and record this estimate as a reduction of product revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. Where historical rates of return exist, we use history as a basis to establish a returns reserve for products shipped to wholesalers. For our newly launched products, for which the right of return exists but for which we currently do not have history of product returns, we estimate returns based on available industry data, our own sales information and our visibility into the inventory remaining in the distribution channel. At the end of each reporting period, we may decide to constrain product revenue for product returns based on information from various sources, including channel inventory levels and dating and sell-through data, the expiration dates of products currently being shipped, price changes of competitive products and any introductions of generic products. We recognize the amount of expected returns as a refund liability, representing the obligation to return the customer’s consideration. Since our returns primarily consist of expired and short dated products that will not be resold, we do not record a return asset for the right to recover the goods returned by the customer at the time of the initial sale (when recognition of product revenue is deferred due to the anticipated return). Return estimates are recorded in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

We offer various rebate and discount programs in an effort to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace and to promote sales and customer loyalty. We estimate the allowance for consumer rebates and coupons that we have offered based on our experience and industry averages, which is reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, on a quarterly basis. Estimates relating to these rebates and coupons are deducted from gross product revenues at the time the product revenues are recognized. We record distributor fees based on amounts stated in contracts. Rebate and coupon estimates and distributor fees are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. We estimate chargebacks based on number of units sold during the period taking into account prices stated in contracts and our historical experience. Estimates related to distributors fees, rebates, coupons and returns are disclosed in Note 8. We provide invoice discounts to our customers for prompt payment. Estimates relating to invoice discounts and chargebacks are deducted from gross product revenues at the time the product revenues are recognized.

 

As part of commercial launches for our FDA-approved prescription products, we introduced a co-pay assistance program for eligible enrolled patients whose out of pocket costs are reduced to a more affordable price. This allows patients to access the product at a reasonable cost and is in line with our responsible pricing approach. We reimburse pharmacies for this discount through third-party vendors. The variable consideration is estimated based on contract prices, the estimated percentage of patients that will utilize the copay assistance, the average assistance paid, the estimated levels of inventory in the distribution channel and the current level of prescriptions covered by patients’ insurance. Payers may change coverage levels for our prescription products positively or negatively, at any time up to the time that we have formally contracted coverage with the payer. As such, the net transaction price of our prescription products is susceptible to such changes in coverage levels, which are outside the influence of the Company. As a result, we constrain variable consideration for our prescription products to an amount that will not result in a significant product revenue reversal in future periods. Our ability to estimate the net transaction price for our prescription products is constrained by our estimates of the amount to be paid for the co-pay assistance program which is directly related to the level of prescriptions paid for by insurance. As such, we record an accrual to reduce gross sales for the estimated co-pay and other patient assistance based on currently available third-party data and our internal analyses. We re-evaluate variable consideration each reporting period.

License Revenue

 

License arrangements may consist of non-refundable upfront license fees, exclusive licensed rights to patented or patent pending technology, and various performance or sales milestones and future product royalty payments. Some of these arrangements may include multiple performance obligations. Non-refundable up-front fees that are not contingent on any future performance by us, and do not require continuing involvement on our part, are recognized as revenue when the right to use functional IP is transferred to the customer.

License Agreement with the Population Council

 

On July 30, 2018, we entered into the Population Council License Agreement to commercialize ANNOVERA in the U.S. We began selling ANNOVERA in a “test and learn” market introduction in the third quarter of 2019. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we paused the commercial launch of ANNOVERA in the first quarter of 2020 and deferred sales and marketing initiatives into subsequent quarters.We resumed the launch of ANNOVERA on July 1, 2020.

 

Under the terms of the Population Council License Agreement, we paid the Population Council a milestone payment of $20,000,000 within 30 days following the approval by the FDA of the new drug application, or NDA, for ANNOVERA and $20,000,000 within 30 days following the first commercial batch release of ANNOVERA. Both milestone payments of $20,000,000 were recorded as license rights in the consolidated balance sheets. We started amortizing license rights in the third quarter of 2019 once ANNOVERA became commercially available for use. The cost is amortized over the remaining useful life over which the license rights will contribute directly or indirectly to our cash flows, which is estimated to be the remaining patent life of the product, which expires in December 2032. The cost is amortized using the straight-line method as the pattern of economic benefit cannot be reliably determined. During the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, we recorded $745,511762,389 and $2,262,002, respectively, in amortization expense related to the license fee. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $15,998 in amortization expense related to the license fee which was recorded as a component of cost of sales.

 

The Population Council is also eligible to receive milestone payments and royalties from commercial sales of ANNOVERA. We are responsible for marketing expenses related to the commercialization of ANNOVERA. In addition, we are required to pay the Population Council, on a quarterly basis, step-based royalty payments based on annual net sales of ANNOVERA in the U.S. by the Company and its affiliates and permitted licensees as follows: (i) if annual net sales are less than or equal to $50,000,000, a royalty of 5% of net sales; (ii) for annual net sales greater than $50,000,000 and less than or equal to $150,000,000, a royalty of 10% of such net sales; and (iii) for net sales greater than $150,000,000, a royalty of 15% of such net sales. The annual royalty rate will be reduced to 50% of the initial rate during the six-month period beginning on the date of the first arms-length commercial sale of a generic equivalent of the one-year vaginal contraceptive system that is launched by a third party in the U.S., and thereafter will be reduced to 20% of the initial rate. We are required to pay the Population Council milestone payments of $40 million upon cumulative net sales of ANNOVERA in the U.S. by us and our affiliates and permitted sublicensees of each of $200 million,, $400 million and $1 billion. billion. The Population Council has agreed to perform and pay the costs and expenses associated with four post-approval studies required by the FDA for ANNOVERA and we have agreed to perform and pay the costs and expenses associated with a post approval study required by the FDA to measure risk for venous thromboembolism, provided that if the costs and expenses associated with such post-approval study exceed $20,000,000, half of such excess will be offset against royalties or other payments owed by us to the Population Council under the Population Council License Agreement. We and the Population Council have agreed to form a joint product committee responsible for overseeing activities under the Population Council License Agreement. We will be responsible for all aspects of promotion, product positioning, pricing, education programs, publications, sales messages and any additional desired clinical studies for the one-year vaginal contraceptive system, subject to oversight and decisions made by the joint product committee. The Population Council License Agreement includes exclusive rights for us to negotiate co-development of two other investigational vaginal contraceptive systems in development by the Population Council.

License Agreement with Knight

In July 2018, we entered into a license and supply agreement, or the Knight License Agreement, with Knight pursuant to which we granted Knight an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel. Pursuant to the terms of the Knight License Agreement, Knight paid us $2,000,000 in milestone fees upon the first regulatory approval in Canada for IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in the third quarter of 2020, and is also required to pay us sales milestone fees based upon certain aggregate annual sales in Canada and Israel of each of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA and royalties based on aggregate annual sales of each of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel. We may terminate the Knight License Agreement if Knight does not submit all regulatory applications, submissions and/or registrations required for regulatory approval to use and commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada within certain specified time periods. We also may terminate the Knight License Agreement if Knight challenges our patents. Either party may terminate the Knight License Agreement for any material breach by the other party that is not cured within certain specified time periods or if the other party files for bankruptcy or other related matters. As part of the Knight License Agreement, Knight is prohibited from exporting IMVEXXY and BIJUVA to the United States.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory, manufacturing, manufacturing overhead and supply chain costs, and product shipping and handling costs. The Population Council License Agreement requires payment of royalties based on the sale of future products. Such royalties are recorded as a component of cost of sales. Additionally, the amortization of license fees or milestone payments related to licensed products are classified as components of cost of sales to the extent such payments become due in the future.

 

Inventory Obsolescence Reserve

 

12

We evaluate inventory quarterly and record an allowance for obsolescence primarily associated with materials that are not currently or likely to be used in production in the near future. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we recorded an inventory obsolescence reserve of $5,744,464 and $0, respectively. The reserve recorded as of September 30, 2020 was primarily related to BIJUVA and resulted from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, which decreased demand for our products.

Segment Reporting

 

We are managed and operated as one business, which is focused on creating and commercializing products targeted exclusively for women. Our business operations are managed by a single managementexecutive leadership team that reports tois chaired by the PresidentChief Executive Officer of our company.Company, who oversees all operations. We do not operate separate lines of business with respect to any of our products and we do not prepare discrete financial information with respect to separate products. All product sales are derived from sales in the United States. Accordingly, we view our business as one reportable operating segment.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development, or R&D, expenses include internal R&D activities, services of external contract research organizations, or CROs, costs of their clinical research sites, manufacturing, scale-up and validation costs, and other activities. Internal R&D activity expenses include laboratory supplies, salaries, benefits, and non-cash share-based compensation expenses. CRO activity expenses include preclinical laboratory experiments and clinical trial studies. Other activity expenses include regulatory consulting and other costs. The activities undertaken by our regulatory consultants that were classified as R&D expenses include assisting, consulting with, and advising our in-house staff with respect to various FDA submission processes, clinical trial processes, and scientific writing matters, including preparing protocols and FDA submissions. These consulting expenses were direct costs associated with preparing, reviewing, and undertaking work for our clinical trials and investigative drugs. We charge internal R&D activities and other activity expenses to operations as incurred. We make payments to CROs based on agreed-upon terms, which may include payments in advance of a study starting date. We expense nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future R&D activities when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received rather than when the payment is made. We review and accrue CRO expenses and clinical trial study expenses based on services performed and rely on estimates of those costs applicable to the completion stage of a study as provided by CROs. Estimated accrued CRO costs are subject to revisions as such studies progress to completion. We charge revisions to expenses in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known.

We capitalize external costs, consisting primarily of legal costs, related to securing our patents and trademarks. Once a patent is granted, we amortize the approved hormone therapy drug candidate patents using the straight-line method over the estimated remaining useful life of approximately 20 years,, which is the life of intellectual property patents. If the patent is not granted, we write-off any capitalized patent costs at that time. Trademarks are perpetual and are not amortized. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, there was no impairment recognizedwe wrote off $584,509 and $78,864, respectively, in costs related to intangible assets.trademarks and patents.

NOTE 9 – DEBT

 

On April 24, 2019, we entered into a Financing Agreement, as amended, or the Financing Agreement, with TPG Specialty Lending, Inc., as administrative agent, or the Administrative Agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto, and certain of our subsidiaries party thereto from time to time as guarantors, which provides us with up to a $300,000,000 first lien secured term loan credit facility, or the Facility. The Facility provides for availability to us in three tranches: (i) $200,000,000 was drawn upon entering into the Financing Agreement; (ii) $50,000,000 will be was drawn on February 18, 2020 following our achievement of more than $11,000,000 in net revenues from IMVEXXY, BIJUVA and ANNOVERA for the fourth quarter of 2019 and (iii) $50,000,000 was previously available to us in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion either contemporaneously with the delivery of our financial statements for the fiscal quarter endingended June 30, 2020 or at such earlier date as the Administrative Agent shallmay have consented to; and (iii)to. Due to the pause in the successful full launch of ANNOVERA caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the undrawn $50,000,000 was drawn on February 18, 2020 following our achievement of more than $11,000,000 in net revenues from IMVEXXY, BIJUVA and ANNOVERA fortranche under the fourth quarter of 2019.Financing Agreement is no longer available. Borrowings under the Facility accrue interest at either (i) 3-month LIBOR plus 7.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of2.70% or (ii) the prime rate plus6.75%, subject to a prime rate floor of 5.2% as selected by us. Interest on amounts borrowed under the Facility is payable quarterly. The outstanding principal amount of the Facility is payable in 4 equal quarterly installments beginning on June 30, 2023, with the Facility maturing on March 31, 2024. We have the right to prepay borrowings under the Facility in whole or in part at any time, subject to a prepayment fee on the principal amount being prepaid of (i) 30.0% for the first two years following the initial funding date of the applicable borrowing, (ii) 5.0% for the third year following the initial funding date of the applicable borrowing, (iii) 3.0% for the fourth year following the initial funding date of the applicable borrowing and (iv) 1.0% for the fifth year following the initial funding date of the applicable borrowing but prior to March 31, 2024. In connection with the initial borrowing under the Facility, we paid, for the benefit of the lenders, a facility fee equal to 2.5% of the initial amount borrowed and will be required to pay such a facility fee in connection with any subsequent borrowings under the Facility.

NOTE 10 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

We calculate earnings per share, or EPS, in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires the computation and disclosure of two EPS amounts: basic and diluted. We compute basic EPS based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or Common Stock outstanding during the period. We compute diluted EPS based on the weighted-average number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive shares of our Common Stock outstanding during the period. Such potentially dilutive shares of our Common Stock consist of options, warrants and restricted stock awardsunits and were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss reported by us. The table below presents potentially dilutive securities that could affect our calculation of diluted net loss per share allocable to common stockholders for the periods presented.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We do not expect to pay any significant federal or state income tax for 2020 as a result of (i) the losses recorded during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, (ii) additional losses expected for the remainder of 2020, and/or (iii) net operating loss carry forwards from prior years.

NOTE 15 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

We adopted ASC 842, Leases, effective January 1, 2019. Substantially all our operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities represent leases for office space used to conduct our business. Upon adoption, we recognized a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases that have commenced as of January 1, 2019. The right-of-use assets represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term. The lease liabilities represent the present value of the lease payments under the lease. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, discounted using our secured incremental borrowing rate for the same term as the underlying lease because the rates are not implicit in the leases. Some of our leases contain variable lease payments, including payments based on an index or rate. Variable lease payments based on an index or rate are initially measured using the index or rate in effect at lease commencement. Additional payments based on the change in an index or rate, or payments based on a change in our portion of the operating expenses are recorded as a period expense when incurred. Lease modifications result in remeasurement of the lease liability. Included in lease expense are any variable lease payments incurred in the period that were not included in the initial lease liability.

 

We lease administrative office space in Boca Raton, Florida pursuant to a non-cancelable operating lease that commenced on July 1, 2013 and originally provided for a 63-month term.

The lease will expire 11 years after the full premises commencement date, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the lease. We have the option to extend the term of the lease for 2 additional consecutive periods of five years. The extension option is not included in the determination of the lease term as it is not reasonably certain to be exercised. The term of the lease includes escalating rent and free rent periods. We are also responsible for certain other operating costs under the lease, including electricity and utility expenses. In June 2019, we entered into an agreement with the same lessors to lease additional 6,536 square feet of administrative office space in the same location, pursuant to an addendum to such lease, which is expected to commence as soon as the second quarter ofcommenced in May 2020.

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Paycheck Protection Program Loan

On April 27,November 8, 2020, we received a loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA. The loan in the principal amount of $6,477,094, or the PPP Loan, was disbursed by Bank of America, NA, a national banking association, or BofA, pursuant to a promissory note issued by the Company, or the Promissory Note.

The PPP Loan matures on the two-year anniversary of the funding date and bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.00% per annum. Monthly principal and interest payments, less the amount of any potential forgiveness (discussed below), will commence after the six-month anniversary of the funding date. We did not provide any collateral or guarantees for the PPP Loan, nor did we pay any facility charge to obtain the PPP Loan. The Promissory Note provides for customary events of default, including, among others, those relating to failure to make payment, bankruptcy, breaches of representations and material adverse effects. We may prepay the principal of the PPP Loan at any time without incurring any prepayment charges.

All or a portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven by the SBA and BofA upon application by us beginning 60 days but not later than 90 days after the funding date of the PPP Loan. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered rent payments, and covered utilities during the eight-week period beginning on the approval date of the PPP Loan. For purposes of the CARES Act, payroll costs exclude compensation of an individual employee in excess of $100,000, prorated annually. Not more than 25% of the forgiven amount may be for non-payroll costs. Forgiveness is reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages for employees with salaries of $100,000 or less annually are reduced by more than 25%. Although we currently believe that our use of the PPP Loan will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, we cannot assure that the PPP Loan will be forgiven, in whole or in part.

In connection with incurring6 which temporarily lowered the PPP Loan, we, together with our subsidiaries, amendedminimum required cash balance under the Financing Agreement from $60 millionto among other things, permit us$45 million through December 31, 2020. After December 31, 2020, the minimum required cash balance will revert to incur$60 million.  On November 8, 2020, in connection with entering into Amendment No. 6 to the PPP Loan and addFinancing Agreement, we amended the Lender Warrants to provide for an adjustment to the exercise price if we conduct certain affirmative covenants relating thereto.dilutive issuances prior to December 31, 2020, or if the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock for the fifteen trading days ending December 31, 2020 is lower than the then-current exercise price.

Overview

 

TherapeuticsMD is a women’s healthcare company with a mission of creating and commercializing innovative products to support the lifespan of women from pregnancy prevention through menopause. At TherapeuticsMD, we combine entrepreneurial spirit, clinical expertise, and business leadership to develop and commercialize health solutions that enable new standards of care for women. Our solutions range from a patient-controlled, long-lasting contraceptive to advanced hormone therapy pharmaceutical products. We also have a portfolio of branded and generic prescription prenatal vitamins under the vitaMedMD and BocaGreenMD brands that furthers our women’s healthcare focus.

 

Our portfolio of products focused on women’s health allows us to efficiently leverage our sales and marketing plans to grow our recently approved products. During 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approval of our pharmaceutical products has transitioned our company from predominately focused on conducting research and development to one focused on commercializing our pharmaceutical products.

 

In July 2018, we launched our FDA-approved product, IMVEXXY (estradiol vaginal inserts) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe dyspareunia (vaginal pain associated with sexual activity), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy, or VVA, due to menopause, which was approved by the FDA in May 2018.

In April 2019, we launched our FDA-approved product, BIJUVA (estradiol and progesterone) capsules, our hormone therapy combination of bio-identical 17ß-estradiol and bio-identical progesterone in a single, oral softgel capsule, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms, or VMS, due to menopause in women with a uterus, which was approved by the FDA in October 2018.

In October 2019, we began a “test and learn” market introduction for our FDA-approved product ANNOVERA (segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol vaginal system), the first and only annual patient-controlled, procedure-free, reversible prescription contraceptive option for women, which was approved by the FDA in August 2018 and which we have licensed for commercialization in the U.S. pursuant to an exclusive license agreement, or the Population Council License Agreement, with the Population Council, Inc., or the Population Council. As a result ofCouncil. We paused the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we paused theplanned full commercial launch of ANNOVERA in March 2020 due to the first quarterimpact of 2020the COVID-19 pandemic and deferred sales and marketing initiatives into subsequent quarters.resumed this initiative on July 1, 2020.

We have also entered into license agreements with strategic partners to commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA outside of the U.S.

 

In July 2018, we entered into a license and supply agreement with Knight Therapeutics Inc., or Knight, pursuant to which we granted Knight an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel.

In June 2019, we entered into an exclusive license and supply agreement, or the Theramex License Agreement, with Theramex HQ UK Limited, or Theramex, a leading, global specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to women’s health, to commercializecommercial BIJUVA and IMVEXXY outside of the U.S., excluding Canada and Israel.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business

 

Our business has been, and we anticipate that it will continue to be, impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. AlthoughDespite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we expectedremain committed to commencethe execution of our corporate goals, demonstrated in part by the increase of our third quarter 2020 product revenue as compared to our second quarter of 2020 product revenue. During the third quarter of 2020, our product revenue increased primarily due to our sales force being able to visit more healthcare providers, or HCPs, as their offices opened. We resumed the full commercial launch of ANNOVERA on July 1, 2020 and launched the new consumer marketing campaign for IMVEXXY in the first quarter ofAugust 2020 as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we paused the commercial launch of ANNOVERA and deferred sales and marketing initiatives into subsequent quarters as the pandemic began to negatively affect our revenue growth. .

26 

At this time, the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business iscontinues to be highly uncertain and difficult to predict.

We have developed a comprehensive COVID-19 contingency plan designed to preserve the value of our investments in our sales and marketing infrastructure, protect our balance sheet during this period of market disruption, and meet the needs of our patients and prescribers. This contingency plan iswas designed to be implemented in stages over the second and third quarters of 2020 as we continue to evaluate the length of time that COVID-19 may impact our business, which is intended to allow us to conserve our financial resources during the COVID-19 pandemic and re-scale our sales and marketing activity when conditions warrant.

 

Our COVID-19 contingency plan focusesis designed to support our strategy of driving product revenue by prioritizing ANNOVERA as the lead product, IMVEXXY in the second position and BIJUVA in the third position. As part of this plan, we reduced our marketing focus on five key areas:BIJUVA so that we can prioritize driving our product revenue growth for ANNOVERA and IMVEXXY. Our COVID-19 contingency plan includes containing costs and cutting spending, preparing for a potential longer-term impact throughout the year, leveraging vitaCare to continue to meet the needs of our patients and prescribers, and ensuring continued availability of our products to patients.

This includeswhich we can further reduce operating expenses in the deferral of approximately $10 million in planned second quarter consumer and healthcare practitioner marketing spend for ANNOVERA and IMVEXXY and cuts of approximately $20 million in other planned expenses for the remainder of 2020. We believe that we have the ability to re-accelerate our planned marketing spend for ANNOVERA and IMVEXXY should market conditions improve, or to extend or expand the cost deferrals throughout 2020. future. These cost cuts and reductions includeincluded permanent cost savings that havehad been identified by management, as well as the interim cessation of certain spending that may be restarted in future quarters.

Through vitaCare, we have connected with more than 80% of our patients. We anticipate that vitaCare will support continued patient access to our products during the COVID-19 pandemic and will help sustain the strong refill trends for our products given vitaCare’s broad use by our patients.

We have also engaged with independent community pharmacies and multiple third-party online pharmacies and telemedicine providers that focus on contraception or menopause to help ensure patients have real-time access to both diagnosis and treatment.
We have developed relationships with industry leaders and emerging technology companies in the telehealth sector, a sector that has seen accelerated growth as a result of COVID-19. Recognizing the importance of telehealth particularly in the contraception category, we began developing various telehealth partnerships in 2019. Among those partnerships are leading online telemedicine platforms which focus on directly prescribing and filling birth control directly to patients.

Supply of Products

 

WeAs of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not anticipate a shortage of our products due to the COVID-19 pandemic as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.pandemic.

 

We currently have sufficient inventory of finished product in our contracted warehouses to meet anticipated demand through at least the early part of the third quarter of this year.next six months.

We currently do not foresee any interruption in our contract manufacturers’ abilities to continue to manufacture additional productproducts to be used beyond the third quarter of this year.used. Our contract manufacturers have sufficient active pharmaceutical ingredients on hand for the continued manufacture of our products and there is currently no interruption in the supply chain for the active pharmaceutical ingredients for our products.

25

We currently have uninterrupted wholesale and retail distribution of our products and are actively working to ensure that there continues to be an adequate supply of our products at pharmacies for sales to patients.

 

While we currently believe that our COVID-19 contingency plan has the ability to mitigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, the severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic, the duration of “stay at home” andhome,” quarantine or “social distancing” orders, the ability of our sales force to access healthcare providers to promote our products, increases in unemployment, which could reduce access to commercial health insurance for our patents,patients, thus limiting payer coverage for our products, and the impact of the pandemic on our global supply chain, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Our future results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms, supply chain disruptions, uncertain demand, and the impact of any initiatives or programs that we may undertake to address financial and operations challenges that we may face.

 

Our business may also be affected by negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on capital markets and economies worldwide, and it is possible that the pandemic could cause a local and/or global economic recession. While policymakers globally have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole, the magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remains uncertain.

 

Our Products

 

IMVEXXY

 

In May 2018, the FDA approved the 4-μg and 10-μg doses of IMVEXXY (estradiol vaginal inserts) for the treatment of moderate-to-severe dyspareunia (vaginal pain associated with sexual activity), a symptom of VVA, due to menopause. The 4-μg formulation of IMVEXXY represents the lowest FDA-approved dose of vaginal estradiol available. IMVEXXY 10-μg became available for commercial distribution in July 2018 and both doses were commercially available in September 2018.

 

IMVEXXY is a small, digitally inserted, softgel vaginal insert that dissolves completely. It is administered mess-free, without the need for an applicator, and can be used any time of day. IMVEXXY provides a mechanism of action and dosing that are familiar and comfortable for patients, with no patient education required for dose application or applicators. IMVEXXY demonstrated efficacy as early as two weeks (secondary endpoint) and maintained efficacy through week 12 in clinical studies, with no increase in systemic hormone levels beyond the normal postmenopausal range (the clinical relevance of systemic absorption rates for vaginal estrogen therapies is not known).

 

As part of the FDA’s approval of IMVEXXY, we have committed to conduct a post-approval observational study to evaluate the risk of endometrial cancer in post-menopausal women with a uterus who use a low-dose vaginal estrogen unopposed by a progestogen. The FDA has also asked the sponsors of other vaginal estrogen products to participate in the observational study. In connection with the observational study, we will be required to provide progress reports to the FDA on an annual basis. The development of this method is underway, and we do not believe that the costs will be material on an annual basis. In addition, the FDA asked for post-approval information with respect to certain characteristics related to the product’s specifications, which we submitted to the FDA.

26

 

BIJUVA

 

In October 2018, the FDA approved BIJUVA (estradiol and progesterone) capsules, 1 mg/100 mg, the first and only FDA-approved bioidentical hormone therapy combination of estradiol and progesterone in a single, oral capsule for the treatment of moderate-to-severe VMS (commonly known as hot flashes or flushes), due to menopause in women with a uterus. The estrogen and progesterone in BIJUVA have the same molecular structure as the hormones that are naturally produced in a woman’s body. We launched BIJUVA in April 2019.

28 

 

BIJUVA offers the convenience of a single-capsule combination of two hormones (estradiol and progesterone), which may improve a user’s compliance. The estradiol and progesterone in BIJUVA are plant-based, not animal-sourced, and contain no peanut allergens. BIJUVA provides a sustained steady state of estradiol which reduced the frequency and severity of hot flashes in clinical studies with no demonstrated impact on a patient’s weight or blood pressure. Additionally, through clinical trials BIJUVA has demonstrated endometrial safety and greater than 90% amenorrhea rates, while providing no clinically meaningful changes in mammograms.

 

WeIn late January 2020, we submitted a New Drug Application, or NDA, efficacy supplement for the 0.5/100 mg dose of BIJUVA to the FDA in late January 2020 for review and potential approval. The NDA efficacy supplement usesused existing data from our Phase 3 REPLENISH trial for BIJUVA, for which we announced results in December 2016, together with additional information and analyses.  The REPLENISH trial was the first time that a combination of bio-identical estradiol and bio-identical progesterone used in a continuous combined daily fashion demonstrated safety and efficacy data to support FDA-approval. We do not anticipate that the FDA will require any new clinical trials in connection with our submission ofOn November 5, 2020, we withdrew the NDA efficacy supplement. We currently intend to file a Formal Dispute Resolution Request, or FDRR, with the FDA that disputes the FDA’s requirement that the efficacy supplement however, there ismeet approval standards that have not been required of other approved drugs in BIJUVA’s therapeutic class. There can be no assurance that we will prevail with respect to the FDRR, if filed, or that the 0.5/100 mg dose of BIJUVA will be the case. If accepted for review by the FDA, we expect that the NDA efficacy supplement will be reviewed, under current Prescription Drug User Fee Act timeline goals, within ten months of receipt by the FDA.approved.

 

With the approval of BIJUVA, the FDA required a post-approval commitment to further develop and validate our in-vitro dissolution method to show how BIJUVA is released from the capsule in an in-vitro setting for quality control assessments. The development of this method and validation were completed and submitted to the FDA as required in our approval.

 

Our hormone therapy pharmaceutical products are characterized by safety and efficacy profiles that can be consistently manufactured to target specifications. This provides an alternative to the non-FDA approved compounded bio-identical market. We believe that our FDA-approved pharmaceutical products offer advantages in terms of demonstrated safety and efficacy, consistency in the hormone dose, lower patient cost due to the increased likelihood of insurance coverage and improved access as a result of availability from major retail pharmacy chains rather than custom order or formulation by individual compounders.

 

ANNOVERA

 

In July 2018, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with the Population Council to commercialize in the U.S. ANNOVERA (segesterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol vaginal system), the first and only annual patient-controlled, procedure-free, reversible prescription contraceptive that can prevent pregnancy for up to a total of 13 cycles (one year), which was approved by the FDA in August 2018. In October 2019, we began a “test and learn” market introduction phase of launch for ANNOVERA. We paused the planned full commercial launch of ANNOVERA and we launched ANNOVERA commercially in March 2020. Due2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic we had to pause our launchand resumed this initiative and we expect to resume the ANNOVERA launch later inon July 1, 2020.

 

ANNOVERA was classified by the FDA as a “new chemical entity,” or NCE, and thus has five years of regulatory exclusivity under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, otherwise known as the Hatch-Waxman Act. ANNOVERA is a one-year ring-shaped contraceptive vaginal system, or CVS. ANNOVERA, which is made with a silicone elastomer, contains segesterone acetate, a 19-nor progesterone derivative also known as Nestorone®, or SA, and ethinyl estradiol, or EE. EE is an approved active ingredient in many marketed hormonal contraceptive products. Segesterone acetate, an NCE, is a potent progestin that, based on pharmacopogicalpharmacological studies in animals and in vitro, does not bind to the androgen or estrogen receptors and has no glucocorticoid activity at contraceptive doses. SA has been evaluated in 51 clinical studies across these delivery systems with more than 26,794 cycles of exposure.

 

27

ANNOVERA can be inserted and removed by the woman herself without the aid of a healthcare provider and, unlike oral contraceptives, ANNOVERA does not require daily administration to obtain the contraceptive effect. After 21 days of use, the woman removes ANNOVERA for seven days, thereby providing a regular bleeding pattern (i.e., withdrawal/scheduled bleeding). The same CVS is then re-inserted for additional 21/7-days in/out, for up to a total of 13 cycles (one year). ANNOVERA releases daily vaginal doses of both active ingredients (SA and EE). The claimed release rate of 150 μg/day SA and 13/day μg EE is supported by the calculated average release rate from an ex vivo analysis of ANNOVERA used for 13 cycles and is also supported by data from 13 cycles of in vitro release.

 

As part of the approval of ANNOVERA, the FDA has required a post-approval observational study be performed to measure the risk of venous thromboembolism. In accordance with the post-marketing requirements, the full protocol for the study was submitted to the FDA in August 2019. We have agreed to perform and pay the costs and expenses associated with this post-approval study, provided that if the costs and expenses associated with such post-approval study exceed $20 million, half of such excess will offset against royalties or other payments owed by us to the Population Council under the Population Council License Agreement. Given the observational nature of the study, we do not believe that the costs of the study will be material on an annual basis.

 

29 

We believe that ANNOVERA will compete across all the contraception options for women with focus on those women seeking a long-lasting option without a procedure.

 

For patients, ANNOVERA provides a single long-lasting reversible birth control product that does not require a procedure at the doctor’s office for insertion or removal, empowering women to be in complete control of their fertility and menstruation with a 21/7 regimen. We believe that ANNOVERA is a unique alternative for women who have previously chosen other forms of birth control. These include nulliparous women (or women who have never given birth), women who are considering an IUD but would rather not have a procedure, women who are between pregnancies but desire protection without a long-term commitment, and women who are not satisfied with oral options due to the daily usage or potential side effects.

 

We believe that the strong initial commercial net revenue per unit of ANNOVERA and rapid commercial insurance adoption provide us with an opportunity to deploy additional financial resources to maximize ANNOVERA’s consumer-focused commercialization strategy and leverage the ability of doctor/patient choice of contraceptive to override insurance company formularies when a generic equivalent has not been established.necessary. As part of this strategy, we are pursuing distribution opportunities for ANNOVERA to provide women with additional access to ANNOVERA, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, with multiple direct-to-consumer contraceptive platforms that are both low cost to TherapeuticsMD and offer an attractive return toextend the platforms. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have deferred a significant portionreach of our planned 2020 marketing spend for ANNOVERA.products.

 

Commercialization Model

 

We are commercializing the products in our portfolio through a common model focused on the belief that providing good experiences for both health care practitioners, or HCPs and patients will drive profitability for TherapeuticsMD. Given that our portfolio focus is exclusively in women’s health, we believe that each new product launch will allow us to further leverage our existing infrastructure and build out our reputation as the premier women’s health organization in the U.S. Below is more detail on our commercialization model:

 

HCP Education - Initially, we focus on the high writing and high potential HCPs in each territory to gain a full understanding of their prescribing behavior and practices. Our focus is on driving initial prescriptions of these writers for each new product launch and utilizing the time to also pull through on our portfolio of existing products. Once regular writing is established with the initial group of HCPs, we expand our reach to a larger set of HCPs writing in the category. We educate HCPs on our products primarily with our field sales organization. We have defined aorganization supplemented by non-personal promotion. Our sales force targetingcurrently targets approximately 200130 territories, which includes the most significant part of the addressable markets across our product portfolio. We are deploying a hybrid sales model that combines an internal sales leadership team with a fully dedicated contract sales force to call on our target HCPs. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, at least 19,500more than 20,400 HCPs had written at least one prescription offor IMVEXXY and at least 5,900more than 6,600 HCPs had written at least one prescription offor BIJUVA, the majority of whichwhom are also IMVEXXY writers demonstrating the value of portfolio and focus. In addition, as of March 31,September 30, 2020, at least 2,000more than 3,500 HCPs had written at least one prescription offor ANNOVERA. In addition to our sales organization, we leverage non-personal promotion (multi-channel advertising) to targets and non-targets thatdesigned to drive awareness, education, and action. These efforts are designed to allow for pull through of the sales organizationorganization’s efforts and identification of new targets that have interest in writing prescriptions for one or more of our products. We believe this will drive increased prescribing for our products and lift the overall writing universe and our products to top of mind in the HCP community.

 

28

BIO-IGNITE - In addition to our sales organization calling on HCPs, we have a Key Account Management, or KAM, team to support our existing BIO-IGNITE pharmacy partners and continue to build our internal capabilities to support both organizations, including compliance professionals and programs and key data support systems that provide real-time data for the sales force and KAMs. Our KAMs have national coverage and target over 1,900 communityadditional pharmacies that have a focuswish to enroll in the BIO-IGNITE program. Additionally, KAMs are focusing on compounded bio-identical hormones and the over 2,000 additional HCPs that are affiliated with these pharmacies. Assupporting current prescribers of March 31, 2020, there were over 220 BIO-IGNITE compounding pharmacies that were dispensing BIJUVA.BIJUVA as well as high decile prescribers of hormone therapy for menopause.

 

Payer Access- With the ever-changing payer environment, we believe it is critical to maximize breadth of coverage as quickly as possible to not inhibit patient access to product. We do this while working to negotiate the best possible contracts for us. Many commercial payers employ “new-to-market blocks” for newly launched products until the payers have the opportunity to make a coverage decision based upon their internal review of the product. When a product is not covered, the patient is responsible to pay the full price for the medication, which can significantly limit utilization of the product. As we seek to increase the number of lives covered by commercial payers, it is our objective to continue to seek unrestricted coverage. Currently, both IMVEXXY and BIJUVA are broadly available in major pharmacy chains in the U.S., as well as with our BIO-IGNITE partners, via our third-party logistics and our distribution partners. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, we have obtained coverage for the majority of commercial payers by commercial payer lives for both productsIMVEXXY and BIJUVA and continue to seek unrestricted coverage from the remaining commercial insurance plans that we have not yet contracted with to provide affordable access for patients. For IMVEXXY, we achieved unrestricted coverage with the top ten commercial payers of VVA products by commercial payer lives and we continue to sign new agreements with other payers to cover IMVEXXY. In addition, as of March 31,September 30, 2020, twofour of the top six (or three of the top eight)eight Medicare Part D payers of VVA products, based on covered lives, were adjudicating IMVEXXY, with additional decisions for other Medicare Part D payers expected during the second half of 2020. For BIJUVA, through March 31,September 30, 2020, we have achieved unrestricted coverage with sevennine of the top ten commercial payers of VMS products by commercial payer lives and we continue to sign new agreements with payers to cover BIJUVA. Although Medicare is a small percentage of the VMS market, as of March 31,September 30, 2020, two of the top six Medicare Part D payers of VMS products, based on covered lives, were adjudicating BIJUVA.

 

30 

For ANNOVERA, we believe that its unique characteristics will assist us in pursuing favorable commercial payer coverage, including only one pharmacy fill fee per year and no office visit or procedure fees. We have made substantial progress in achieving unrestricted access to ANNOVERA through commercial payers, including having achieved adjudication with fivesix of the top ten commercial payers by commercial payer lives as of March 31,September 30, 2020, and we continue to pursue discussions with several of the country’s largest commercial insurers to further expand coverage. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, approximately 64%61% of the commercial payer market covered ANNOVERA with unrestricted access under pharmacy benefits and approximately 76%73% covered ANNOVERA with step or prior authorization access.

 

29

In February 2020, we entered into an agreement with Afaxys Pharma, LLC, a pharmaceutical company focused on serving women in the public health system, to market ANNOVERA in the U.S. public health sector. As part of the Population Council License Agreement, we have agreed to provide significantly reduced pricing to federally designated Title X family planning clinics serving underrepresented women. We also have agreements to market ANNOVERA to the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Administration,Affairs, and in Puerto Rico.

 

Supply - We want to ensure our products are available in all classes of trade and delivery systems. We offer our products through traditional chain wholesalers (Cardinal, McKesson and AmerisourceBergen) and independent retail pharmacies, community compounding pharmacies with our BIO-IGNITE program, and mail order.online pharmacies. We continue to develop unique opportunities to sell direct to pharmacies to streamline distribution and better control costs.

 

Patient Affordability Programs - We have affordability and adherence programs in place for patients so that we can support appropriate use of our products by patients. Our co-pay assistance programs allow all patients to access our products at a reasonable cost.

 

● We continue to support our patient education and affordability program that allows all eligible patients who enroll to receive IMVEXXY and BIJUVA at a reasonable cost. When a product is not covered by a patient’s commercial insurance, the patient is responsible to pay the full price for the medication, which can significantly limit a patient’s ability to pay and subsequent utilization of the product. Starting October 1, 2019, enrolled patients pay as little as $35 for a prescription of IMVEXXY with commercial insurance coverage and pay as little as $50 for a prescription of IMVEXXY without commercial insurance coverage. For ANNOVERA, for commercially insured patients, we offer patients assistance for as low as $60 for an annual prescription. Many patients will not need a co-pay assistance program for ANNOVERA given the requirements of the ACA at the federal level and similar laws at the state level.

Many patients will not need a co-pay assistance program for ANNOVERA given the requirements of the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, at the federal level and similar laws at the state level.

 

● We continue to dialogue with the FDA regarding the potential inclusion of ANNOVERA as a new class of contraception for women in the FDA’s Birth Control Guide, which would require private health plans to cover ANNOVERA with no patient out-of-pocket costs as part of the ACA. While we are optimistic about our chances to secure a new contraception class for ANNOVERA, there is no assurance that the FDA will make such a determination and it is possible that other FDA-approved products could also be included in such a new class. The FDA may also find that ANNOVERA fits into the vaginal contraceptive ring class, which it would share with NuvaRing and its generic equivalents, and potentially others. Eight states require insurance coverage of prescription contraception with co-pay regardless of inclusion in the FDA’s Birth Control Guide and 11 states, plus Washington D.C., require coverage of prescription contraception with no co-pay regardless of inclusion in the FDA’s Birth Control Guide.

Patient Adherence - Establishing compliance and adherence programs that make getting on a prescription medication and obtaining prescribed refills easy and convenient for the patient and HCPs is a critical lever in our commercial model. Our focus is on minimizing complications in patients filling their first prescription and engaging with them throughout the life of their treatment to ensure patients stay on and use therapy for the appropriate length of time. We have delivered effective patient engagement programs for bothall of our prescription prenatal line and for IMVEXXY with average adherence rates above the averages in their respective categories.products.

 

Consumer Communication - Another critical level in the commercial model is consumer communication.outreach. Our initial focus is on those patients who are already predisposed to seek treatment, such as those patients new to therapy, and those patients dissatisfied with their current therapy. Next, we are focused on expanding the market by energizing patients who are experiencing bothersome symptoms but who have not been motived to seek treatment. Methods of communication include online and offline media and span branded and unbranded communication to ensure we drive action from awareness of symptoms to desire to speak to an HCP to acquire a prescription.

License Agreements

 

License Agreement with the Population Council

 

Under the terms of the Population Council License Agreement, we paid the Population Council a milestone payment of $20 million within 30 days following approval by the FDA of the NDA for ANNOVERA. The first commercial batch of ANNOVERA was released during the third quarter of 2019, and we paid the Population Council a second milestone payment of $20 million as a result of the commercial batch release. The Population Council is eligible to receive additional milestone payments and royalties from commercial sales of ANNOVERA, as detailed below. We assumed responsibility for marketing expenses related to the commercialization of ANNOVERA. We are required to pay the Population Council additional milestone payments of $40 million upon cumulative net sales of ANNOVERA in the U.S. by us and our affiliates and permitted sublicensees of each of $200 million, $400 million and $1.0 billion.

 

In addition, we are required to pay the Population Council, on a quarterly basis, step-based royalty payments based on annual net sales of ANNOVERA in the U.S. by us and our affiliates and permitted sublicensees as follows:

 

Annual Net SalesRoyalty
Rate
Less than or equal to $50.0 million5%5%
Greater than $50.0 million and less than or equal to $150.0 million10%10%
Greater than $150.0 million15%15%

 

The annual royalty rate will be reduced to 50% of the initial rate during the six-month period beginning on the date of the first arms-length commercial sale of a generic equivalent of ANNOVERA that is launched by a third party in the U.S., and thereafter will be reduced to 20% of the initial rate.

 

The Population Council has agreed to perform and pay the costs and expenses associated with two post-approval studies required by the FDA for ANNOVERA and we have agreed to perform and pay the costs and expenses associated with a post-approval study required by the FDA to measure risk for venous thromboembolism, provided that if the costs and expenses associated with such post-approval study exceed $20 million, half of such excess will be offset against royalties or other payments owed by us to the Population Council under the Population Council License Agreement. We and the Population Council formed a joint product committee responsible for overseeing activities under the Population Council License Agreement. We are responsible for all aspects of promotion, product positioning, pricing, education programs, publications, sales messages and any additional desired clinical studies for the one-year vaginal contraceptive system, subject to oversight and decisions made by the joint product committee.

 

Unless earlier terminated, the Population Council License Agreement will remain in effect until the later of the expiration of the last-to-expire of the Population Council’s U.S. patents that are licensed to us, or the date following such expiration that follows a continuous period of six months during which we and our affiliates have not made a commercial sale of ANNOVERA in the U.S. The Population Council License Agreement may also be terminated for certain breach and bankruptcy-related events and by us on 180 days’ prior notice to the Population Council.

 

As part of the Population Council License Agreement, we have the exclusive right to negotiate co-development and U.S. marketing rights for two other investigational vaginal contraceptive systems in development by the Population Council.

License Agreement with Knight

 

In July 2018, we entered into a license and supply agreement, or the Knight License Agreement, with Knight pursuant to which we granted Knight an exclusive license to commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel. Pursuant to the terms of the Knight License Agreement, Knight will paypaid us a$2 million in milestone feefees upon the first regulatory approval in Canada of each offor IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in the third quarter of 2020, and is also required to pay us sales milestone fees based upon certain aggregate annual sales in Canada and Israel of each of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA and royalties based on aggregate annual sales of each of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada and Israel. In October 2019 and November 2019, Knight’s New Drug Submissions for Joyesta (IMVEXXY) and BIJUVA, respectively, were accepted for review by Health Canada. Knight will be responsible for all regulatory and commercial activities in Canada and Israel related to IMVEXXY and BIJUVA. We may terminate the Knight License Agreement if Knight does not submit all regulatory applications, submissions and/or registrations required for regulatory approval to use and commercialize IMVEXXY and BIJUVA in Canada within certain specified time periods. We also may terminate the Knight License Agreement if Knight challenges our patents. Either party may terminate the Knight License Agreement for any material breach by the other party that is not cured within certain specified time periods or if the other party files for bankruptcy or other related matters. As part of the Knight License Agreement, Knight is prohibited from exporting IMVEXXY and BIJUVA to the United States.

32 

 

License Agreement with Theramex

 

In June 2019, we entered into a licensing and supply agreement, or the Theramex License Agreement, with Theramex pursuant to which we granted Theramex an exclusive, perpetual license to commercialize BIJUVA and IMVEXXY for human use outside of the U.S., except for Canada and Israel, or the Theramex Territory. Pursuant to the terms of the Theramex License Agreement, Theramex paid us an upfront fee of EUR 14 million in cash. We are also eligible to receive up to an additional EUR 29.5 million in cash milestone payments, comprised of (i) an aggregate of EUR 2 million in regulatory milestone payments based on regulatory approvals for each of BIJUVA and IMVEXXY in certain specified markets and (ii) an aggregate of EUR 27.5 million in sales milestone payments to be paid in escalating tranches based on Theramex first attaining certain aggregate annual net sales milestones in the Theramex Territory ranging from EUR 25 million to EUR 100 million. We are also entitled to receive quarterly royalty payments based on net sales of BIJUVA and IMVEXXY in the Theramex Territory. Theramex has agreed to submit all regulatory applications, submissions and/or registrations required for regulatory approval to use and commercialize BIJUVA and IMVEXXY in certain specified markets within certain specified time periods and we may terminate the Theramex License Agreement if Theramex does not submit certain of such regulatory applications, submissions and/or registrations. We may also terminate the Theramex License Agreement if Theramex challenges our patents. Either party may terminate the Theramex License Agreement for any material breach by the other party that is not cured within certain specified time periods or if the other party files for bankruptcy or other related matters. Theramex may sublicense its rights to commercialize BIJUVA and IMVEXXY in the Theramex Territory, except for certain specified markets. Pursuant to the terms of the Theramex License Agreement, we agreed to supply, or cause to be supplied, BIJUVA and IMVEXXY to Theramex. We and Theramex have agreed to form a joint product committee responsible for advising and overseeing activities under the Theramex License Agreement.

 

Intellectual Property

As of March 31,September 30, 2020, we had 3035 issued foreign patents and 3135 issued domestic or, U.S., patents, which included 1214 domestic utility patents that relate to BIJUVA, three domestic patents that relate to estradiol and progesterone product candidates, eightten domestic patents that relate to IMVEXXY, which establish an important intellectual property foundation for IMVEXXY, one domestic utility patent that relates to a pipeline transdermal patch technology, one domestic utility patent that relates to our topical-cream candidates, two domestic patents that relate to formulations containing progesterone, one domestic utility patent that relates to our OPERA® information technology platform, that we wrote off, in the second quarter of 2019, and three domestic utility patents that relate to TX-009HR, our progesterone and estradiol drug candidate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we wrote off $584,509 and $78,864, respectively, in costs related to trademarks and patents.

Research and development expenditures have been reduced as we refocusrefocused our resources towards the commercialization of our approved pharmaceutical products. We will continue to deploy limited resources as we develop our drug pipeline, continue stability testing and validation on our pharmaceutical products, develop and validate secondary manufacturers, prepare regulatory submissions and work with regulatory authorities on existing submissions.

 

The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to a variety of factors. We base our expenses related to clinical trials on estimates that are based on our experience and estimates from CROs and other third parties. Research and development expenditures for the drug candidates will continue after the trial completes for on-going stability and laboratory testing, regulatory submission and response work. For a discussion of the nature of efforts, steps and costs necessary to complete these projects, see “Item 1. Business — Research and Development” and “Item 7.

RevenuesRevenue and Cost of Goods Sold

RevenueProduct revenue is recorded net of sales discounts, chargebacks, wholesaler fees, customer rebates, coupons and estimated returns. We launched IMVEXXY in the third quarter of 2018 and BIJUVA in the second quarter of 2019. We started selling ANNOVERA in the third quarter of 2019 and although we commercially launched2019. We paused the planned full commercial launch of ANNOVERA in early March 2020 we subsequently paused the launch due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenuepandemic and resumed this initiative on July 1, 2020. Product revenue for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 increased approximately $8,304,000,$9,130,000, or 210%111%, to approximately $12,251,000,$17,343,000, compared with approximately $3,947,000$8,213,000 for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. RevenueProduct revenue increased primarily due to continued ramping of sales of IMMVEXXY, sales ofIMVEXXY, BIJUVA and pre-launch sales of ANNOVERA during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, as compared to the prior year period. Ourperiod, partially offset by a decrease in prenatal vitamins sales and slower than anticipated growth of our product revenue indue to the prior year period only consistedimpact of sales of IMVEXXY and our prenatal vitamins.the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Sales of IMMVEXXYIMVEXXY increased approximately $4,382,000$2,069,000 as compared to the prior period, which wasprimarily due to increased net product revenue per unit partially offset by a lower number of units sold. Sales of BIJUVA increased approximately $1,156,000 as compared to the prior period, primarily due to a higher number of units sold and increased net product revenue per unit. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 also included sales of BIJUVA of approximately $1,111,000, which was commercially launched in the second quarter of 2019, and salesSales of ANNOVERA increased approximately $6,019,000 as compared to the prior period, primarily due to a higher number of approximately $2,273,000, which were affected by the recent COVID-19 pandemic.units sold and increased net product revenue per unit. In addition, during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, our prenatal vitamin sales increaseddecreased approximately $538,000$114,000 due to a decreased number of units sold, partially offset by increased net product revenue per unit as compared to the prior year period, partially offsetperiod. In addition to our product revenue, during the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized license revenue of $2,000,000 from two non-refundable milestone payments from Knight under the terms of the Knight License Agreement, which we recognized at the point in time upon the regulatory approvals in Canada of each of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized license revenue of approximately $15,506,000 from the upfront fee, which was a non-refundable payment, payable to us by a decreased numberTheramex under the terms of units sold.the Theramex License Agreement, which we recognized at the point in time when Theramex was able to use and benefit from the license, which was when the knowledge transfer of regulatory documents occurred.

 

During the launches of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA we introduced co-pay assistance programs which allow eligible enrolled patients to access the products at a reasonable cost regardless of insurance coverage. We expect that our product revenue will improve in the long term as commercial and Medicare payer coverage increases, and plans complete the process needed to adjudicate IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA prescriptions at pharmacies.

 

Cost of goods sold increased approximately $1,952,000,$1,835,000, or 256%127%, to approximately $2,715,000$3,279,000 for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, as compared with approximately $763,000$1,444,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, mostSeptember 30, 2019. This increase in cost of whichgoods sold is attributable to the 210%111% increase in revenue. A portion ofproduct revenue as compared to the prior period, an increase is due to royalty fees of approximately $114,000 andin the amortization of our license fee related to ANNOVERA of approximately $746,000, relatedan increase in royalty fees of approximately $301,000, as well as approximately $152,000 of inventory obsolescence expense recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to ANNOVERA.the prior period. Our gross margin related to prescription products was approximately 78%81% and 81%82% for the three-month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change in our gross margin between the two periods is primarily related to the change in product mix between the two periods.and its related costs.

 

Operating Expenses

Our operating costs have increased substantially as we continue to support the launch of our new pharmaceutical products in the market. BIJUVA was launched in the second quarter of 2019. We commercially launched ANNOVERA in early March 2020, which was subsequently paused due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we were primarily focused on growing sales of IMVEXXY and prenatal vitamins.

Operating Loss

As a result of the foregoing, our operating loss decreased approximately $2,099,000, or 8%, to approximately $24,973,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with approximately $27,072,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of a decrease in total operating expenses due to cost cutting initiatives put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an increase in product revenue partially offset by increased cost of goods sold and decreased license revenue as compared to the prior period.

We anticipate that we will continue to have operating losses for the near future until we successfully commercialize IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA, although there is no assurance that any commercialization of IMVEXXY, BIJUVA and ANNOVERA will be successful.

Other expense, net

Other non-operating expenses, net increased by approximately $2,743,000, or 56%, to an expense of approximately $7,638,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with an expense of approximately $4,895,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of increased interest expense related to our Financing Agreement. For more information regarding our Financing Agreement, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Net Loss

Because of the net effects of the foregoing, net loss increased approximately $644,000, or 2%, to approximately $32,611,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with approximately $31,967,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold

Product revenue is recorded net of sales discounts, chargebacks, wholesaler fees, customer rebates, coupons and estimated returns. We launched IMVEXXY in the third quarter of 2018 and BIJUVA in the second quarter of 2019. We started selling ANNOVERA in the third quarter of 2019. We paused the planned full commercial launch of ANNOVERA in March 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and resumed this initiative on July 1, 2020. Product revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased approximately $22,055,000, or 121%, to approximately $40,294,000, compared with approximately $18,239,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Product revenue increased primarily due to continued ramping of sales of IMVEXXY, BIJUVA and ANNOVERA, partially offset by slower than anticipated growth of our product revenue due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

37 

Sales of IMVEXXY increased approximately $8,414,000 as compared to the prior period, sales of BIJUVA increased approximately $3,485,000 as compared to the prior period, and sales of ANNOVERA increased approximately $10,127,000 as compared to the prior period, in each case primarily due to a higher number of units sold and increased net product revenue per unit. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our prenatal vitamin sales increased approximately $29,000 due to increased net product revenue per unit as compared to the prior period, partially offset by a decreased number of units sold. In addition to our product revenue, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized aggregate license revenue of $2,000,000 from two non-refundable milestone payments from Knight under the terms of the Knight License Agreement, which we recognized at the point in time upon the regulatory approvals in Canada of each of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recognized license revenue of approximately $15,506,000 from the upfront fee, which was a non-refundable payment, payable to us by Theramex under the terms of the Theramex License Agreement, which we recognized at the point in time when Theramex was able to use and benefit from the license, which was when the knowledge transfer of regulatory documents occurred.

During the launches of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA, we introduced co-pay assistance programs which allow eligible enrolled patients to access the products at a reasonable cost regardless of insurance coverage. We expect that our product revenue will improve in the long term as commercial and Medicare payer coverage increases, and plans complete the process needed to adjudicate IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA prescriptions at pharmacies.

Cost of goods sold increased approximately $6,938,000, or 201%, to approximately $10,394,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared with approximately $3,456,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase is attributable to a 121% increase in product revenue as compared to the prior period, an increase in royalty fees of approximately $506,000, and an increase in amortization of our license fee related to ANNOVERA of approximately $2,246,000, as well as an increase of $2,232,000 inventory obsolescence expense, primarily related to BIJUVA, as compared to the prior period. Our gross margin related to prescription products was approximately 74% and 81% for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change in our gross margin between the two periods is primarily related to the change in product mix and its related costs, as well as inventory obsolescence expense described above.

We anticipate that we will continue to have operating losses for the near future until we successfully commercialize IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA, although there is no assurance that ourany commercialization of IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA will be successful.

Other expense, net

Other non-operating expense, net increased by approximately $4,526,000,$607,000, or 323%3%, to an expense of approximately $5,927,000$20,503,000 for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, compared with an expense of approximately $1,401,000$19,896,000 for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, primarily as a result of increased interest expense related to our Financing Agreement.Agreement partially offset by the loss on extinguishment of debt of $10,058,000 incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. For more information regarding our Financing Agreement, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

Net Loss

 

Because of the net effects of the foregoing, net loss increased approximately $17,343,000,$14,728,000, or 44%12%, to approximately $56,849,000$141,437,000 for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, compared with approximately $39,506,000$126,709,000 for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have funded our operations primarily through public offerings of our common stockCommon Stock and private placements of equity and debt securities. For the three-year period endingended December 31, 2019, we received approximately $236,000,000 in net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock.Common Stock. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $170,098,000.$79,634,000. However, changing circumstances may cause us to consume funds significantly faster than we currently anticipate, and we may need to spend more money than currently expected because of circumstances beyond our control.

 

Our net days sales outstanding, or net DSO, is calculated by dividing gross accounts receivable less the reserve for doubtful accounts, chargebacks and payment discounts by the average daily net product revenuesrevenue during the quarter. We also disclose gross DSO, which includes the calculation of gross accounts receivable divided by the average daily gross product revenuesrevenue to distributors during the quarter. For the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, our gross DSO was 5256 days compared to 55 days for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and our net DSO was 153128 days for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 compared to 141 days for the three months ended December 31, 2019. We anticipate that our DSO will fluctuate in the future based upon a variety of factors, including longer payment terms associated with the launches of IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA and changes in the healthcare industry. Our exposure to credit losses may increase if our customers are adversely affected by changes in healthcare laws, coverage, and reimbursement, economic pressures or uncertainty associated with local or global economic recessions, disruption associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, or other customer-specific factors. Although we have historically not experienced significant credit losses, it is possible that there could be a material adverse impact from potential adjustments of the carrying amount of trade receivables in the future.

 

On April 24, 2019, we entered into a Financing Agreement, as amended, or the Financing Agreement, with TPG Specialty Lending, Inc., as administrative agent, or the Administrative Agent, various lenders from time to time party thereto, and certain of our subsidiaries party thereto from time to time as guarantors, which provides us with up to a $300,000,000 first lien secured term loan credit facility, or the Facility. The Facility provides for fund availability to us in threemultiple tranches: (i) $200,000,000 was drawn upon entering into the Financing Agreement; (ii)Agreement while an additional $50,000,000 was drawn on February 18, 2020; and (iii)2020. An additional $50,000,000 will bewas previously available to us in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion either contemporaneously with the delivery of our financial statements for the fiscal quarter endingended June 30, 2020 or at such earlier date as the Administrative Agent shallmay have consented to. BorrowingsDue to the pause in the full launch of ANNOVERA caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the undrawn $50,000,000 trance under the Facility accrue interest at either (i) 3-month LIBOR plus 7.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 2.70% or (ii) the prime rate plus 6.75%, subject to a prime rate floor of 5.20% as selected by us. Interest on amounts borrowed under the FacilityFinancing Agreement is payable quarterly. The outstanding principal amount of the Facility is payable in four equal quarterly installments beginning on June 30, 2023, with the Facility maturing on March 31, 2024. A portion of the initial tranche of borrowing under the Facility in the amount of approximately $81,661,000 was used to repay all amounts outstanding under our prior financing agreement with MidCap Financial Trust, or the MidCap Agreement.no longer available.

 

Although there is uncertainty relatedOn August 5, 2020, we and our subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 5 to the anticipated impact ofFinancing Agreement, or Amendment No. 5, with the COVID-19 pandemic on our future results, we believe that our current cash reservesAdministrative Agent and the recent stepslenders party thereto, pursuant to which we modified the minimum consolidated net product revenue requirements attributable to commercial sales of our IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA products, which requirements are effective beginning with the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020. In lieu of a cash amendment fee, to induce the lenders to enter into Amendment No. 5, on August 5, 2020, we issued warrants, or the Warrants, to the lenders under the Financing Agreement to purchase an aggregate of 4,752,116 shares of Common Stock, pursuant to a subscription agreement among the parties, or the Subscription Agreement. The Warrants have takenan exercise price of $1.58 per share of Common Stock and an expiration date of August 5, 2030. The Warrants may also be exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to reduce costs will help usthe terms thereof. No registration rights were issued pursuant to manage our business through the pandemic. We have reviewed numerous potential scenariosWarrants or Subscription Agreement. On November 8, 2020, in connection with entering into Amendment No. 6 to the impactFinancing Agreement, we amended the Warrants to provide for an adjustment to the exercise price if we conduct certain dilutive issuances prior to December 31, 2020, or if the volume-weighted average price of COVID-19our Common Stock for the fifteen trading days ending December 31, 2020 is lower than the then-current exercise price.

As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our cash balance was above the $60 million balance as required by the Financing Agreement. On November 8, 2020, we and our subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Financing Agreement, or Amendment No. 6, with the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which we temporarily lowered the minimum required cash balance from $60 million to $45 million through December 31, 2020. After December 31, 2020, the minimum cash balance will revert to $60 million. Based on our business and, based on our analysis,current projections, we believe our existingwill need to raise additional capital to remain in compliance with this minimum cash reserves, our currently anticipated operating cash flows, and availability under the Facility, if we are able to access such funds, will be sufficient to meet our cash needs arising in the ordinary course of businessbalance covenant for the next twelve months from the dateissuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. However, if the successful commercialization of IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, or ANNOVERA is delayed, or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is worse than we anticipate,these financial statements.

In order to address our existing cash reserves and availability under the Facility, ifprojected capital needs, we are able to access such funds, may be insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements until we are able to successfully commercialize IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA and we may not be able to access funds under the Facility. If our available cash is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may curtail our sales, marketing,pursuing various equity financing and other commercialization effortsalternatives including the sale of a controlling interest in vitaCare Prescription Services for which we commenced a sale process and wereceived initial indications of interest.

To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debtsuch securities, to the extent permitted under the Financing Agreement, the ownership interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these new securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our existing stockholders. If

Along with considering additional financings, we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances,have reviewed numerous potential scenarios in connection with the impact of COVID-19 on our business including the impact of the recent steps we have taken to reduce our operating expenses in response. Based on our analysis, we believe that our existing cash reserves along with potential proceeds from the sale of certain non-core assets of the Company and proceeds from potential future financings, if available to us, would be sufficient to meet our cash needs arising in the ordinary course of business for the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

However, if we are unsuccessful with future financings and if the successful commercialization of IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, or licensing arrangementsANNOVERA is delayed, or the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is worse than we anticipate, our existing cash reserves would be insufficient to maintain compliance with third parties, certain of which are restricted under the Financing Agreement covenants or satisfy our liquidity requirements until we may haveare able to relinquish valuable rightssuccessfully commercialize IMVEXXY, BIJUVA, and ANNOVERA. The presence of these projected factors in conjunction with the uncertainty of the capital markets raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, or proposed products, if permitted undercontinue as a going concern for the Financing Agreement. Additionally, we may have to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2018-13 which eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The FASB developed the amendments to Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 820 as part of its broader disclosure framework project, which aims to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by focusing on requirements that clearly communicate the most important information to users of the financial statements. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material effect on our disclosures for the three months ended March 31, 2020.disclosures.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted no sooner than the first quarter of 2019. A modified retrospective approach is required for all investments, except debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to the effective date, which will require a prospective transition approach and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively depending on the nature of the disclosure. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 requires expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the Company’s expected credit losses. Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13 under a modified retrospective approach for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. There was no adjustment recorded for the cumulative effect of adopting ASU 2016-13. The adoption expanded disclosures about our credit losses.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the SEC did not, and are not expected to, have a material effect on our results of operations or financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates. To minimize this risk, we intend to maintain an investment portfolio that may include cash, cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale in a variety of securities which may include money market funds, government and non-government debt securities and commercial paper, all with various maturity dates. Due to the low risk profile of our investments, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio.

 

Amounts borrowed under the Financing Agreement will accrue interest at either (i) 3-month LIBOR plus 7.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 2.70% or (ii) the prime rate plus 6.75%, subject to a prime rate floor of 5.20%. Considering the total outstanding principal balance under the Financing Agreement of $250,000,000 at March 31,September 30, 2020, a 1.0% change in interest rates would result in an impact to incomeloss before income taxes of $2,500,000 per year.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection withregarding required disclosure.

42 

 

  

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, misstatements, errors, and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be prevented or detected. Further, internal controls may become inadequate as a result of changes in conditions, or through the deterioration of the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are involved in litigation and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business.

On February 20, 2020, we received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter, or the IMVEXXY Notice Letter, regarding an Abbreviated New Drug Application, or ANDA, submitted to the FDA by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., or Teva. The ANDA seeks approval from the FDA to commercially manufacture, use, or sell a generic version of the 4 mcg and 10 mcg doses of IMVEXXY. In the IMVEXXY Notice Letter, Teva alleges that TherapeuticsMD patents listed in the FDA’s Orange Book that claim compositions and methods of IMVEXXY, or the IMVEXXY Patents, are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by Teva’s commercial manufacture, use, or sale of its proposed generic drug product. The IMVEXXY Patents identified in the IMVEXXY Notice Letter expire in 2032 or 2033. On April 1, 2020, we filed a complaint for patent infringement against Teva in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey arising from Teva’s ANDA filing with the FDA. We are seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of Teva’s ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of the IMVEXXY Patents and equitable relief enjoining Teva from infringing the IMVEXXY Patents. Teva has filed its answer and counterclaim to the complaint, alleging that the IMVEXXY Patents are invalid and not currently involvedinfringed. A trial date has not been set.

On March 17, 2020, we received a Paragraph IV certification notice letter, or the BIJUVA Notice Letter, regarding an ANDA submitted to the FDA by Amneal Pharmaceuticals, or Amneal. The ANDA seeks approval from the FDA to commercially manufacture, use, or sell a generic version of BIJUVA. In the BIJUVA Notice Letter, Amneal alleges that TherapeuticsMD patents listed in the FDA’s Orange Book that claim compositions and methods of BIJUVA, or the BIJUVA Patents, are invalid, unenforceable, and/or will not be infringed by Amneal’s commercial manufacture, use, or sale of its proposed generic drug product. The BIJUVA Patents identified in the BIJUVA Notice Letter expire in 2032. On April 29, 2020, we filed a complaint for patent infringement against Amneal in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey arising from Amneal’s ANDA filing with the FDA. We are seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any legal proceedingFDA approval of Amneal’s ANDA would be a date no earlier than the expiration of the BIJUVA Patents and equitable relief enjoining Amneal from infringing the BIJUVA Patents. Amneal has filed its answer and counterclaim to the complaint, alleging that we believe would have a material effect on our business or financial condition.the BIJUVA Patents are invalid and not infringed. A trial date has not been set.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes with respect to those risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report.

Our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal year 2020 and beyond may be materially adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

The outbreak of the novel COVID-19 (coronavirus) has evolved into a global pandemic. COVID-19 has spread to many regions of the world, including virtually all of the United StatesStates. Our business has been, and Europe. The full extentwe anticipate that it will continue to be, impacted by the COVID-19 impactspandemic. During the third quarter of 2020, all of our businessproducts remained affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily due to our sales force having limited access to healthcare professionals and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actionsour patients deferring visits to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, among others.

healthcare professionals in certain areas. While we have developed a comprehensive COVID-19 contingency plan designed to preserve the value of our investments in our sales and marketing infrastructure, protect our balance sheet during this period of market disruption and meet the needs of our patients and prescribers, including cost-containment and spending cuts in the second quarter of 2020 that can be extended through the restseverity of the year depending on the evolution of COVID-19, we have suspended our previously announced 2020 financial guidance due to the unknown impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted.

Stay at home, quarantine and social distancing orders and closures and restrictions on travel have negatively affected the rapidly evolving natureability of our sales force to access healthcare providers to promote our products and the pandemic. Asability of patients to visit their healthcare professionals for non-emergent matters. Our sales force is continuing to use a hybrid model of office visits when necessary and digital engagement tools and tactics and virtual detailing, which may be less effective than our ordinary course sales and marketing programs. Increases in unemployment could reduce access to commercial health insurance for our patients, thus limiting payer coverage for our products, which could lead to increased use of our co-pay assistance programs and negatively affect our results of operations.

Our future results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected by, and we may require an increased level of working capital as a result of, COVID-19,extended billing and collection cycles as a result of displaced employees at our company, payers, revenue cycle management contractors, or otherwise; delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms; supply chain disruptions; uncertain demand; and the impact of any initiatives or programs that we will, among other things, (i) defer approximately $10 million in consumermay undertake to address financial and healthcare practitioner marketing spending for ANNOVERA and IMVEXXY, (ii) make cuts of approximately $20 million in other planned expenses for the year, (iii) negotiate lower fees and/or suspend services from non-critical third party vendors, (iv) implement a hiring freeze, (v) delay or cancel any non-critical information technology projects and (vi) eliminate travel, entertainment, meeting and event expenses.operations challenges that we may face.

AlthoughAdditionally, although we currently continue to have uninterrupted wholesale and retail distribution of our products and we do not anticipate a shortage of our products due to COVID-19 at this time, disruptions may occur for our customers or suppliers that may materially affect our ability to obtain supplies or other components for our products, manufacture additional products or deliver inventory in a timely manner. This would result in lost sales, additional costs, or penalties, or damage to our reputation. In addition, due to closures and restrictions on travel, our sales force is currently functioning largely utilizing digital engagement tools and tactics and virtual detailing, which may be less effective than our ordinary course sales and marketing programs. We

Our business may also require an increased levelbe affected by negative impacts of workingthe COVID-19 pandemic on capital if we experience extended billingmarkets and collection cycleseconomies worldwide, and it is possible that the pandemic could cause a local and/or global economic recession. While policymakers globally have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a resultwhole, the magnitude and overall effectiveness of displaced employees at our company, payers, revenue cycle management contractors, or otherwise. these actions remains uncertain.

We may also experience other unknown impacts from COVID-19 that cannot be predicted. Accordingly, disruptions to our business as a result of COVID-19 could result in a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects in the near-term and beyond 2020.

Our level of indebtedness and the terms of the Financing Agreement could adversely affect our operations and limit our ability to plan for or respond to changes in our business. If we are unable to comply with certain actual net revenue covenants and other restrictions in the Financing Agreement, the repayment of our existing indebtedness could be accelerated.

Under the Financing Agreement, we have incurred a substantial amount of debt, which could adversely affect our business. In April 2019, we drew down the first tranche of $200.0 million under the Financing Agreement and in February 2020 we drew down the second tranche of $50.0 million under the Financing Agreement. Our high level of indebtedness could affect our business in the following ways, among other things: make it more difficult for us to satisfy our contractual and commercial commitments; require us to use a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to pay interest and principal, which would reduce funds available for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes; limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments or general corporate purposes; heighten our vulnerability to downturns in our business, our industry or in the general economy; place us at a disadvantage compared to those of our competitors that may have proportionately less debt; limit management’s discretion in operating our business; and limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, the industry in which we operate or the general economy.

The Financing Agreement requires us to make certain payments of principal and interest over time and contains certain minimum quarterly product revenue requirements and several other restrictive covenants. We are required to achieve total minimum net revenue requirement for ANNOVERA, IMVEXXY, and BIJUVA equal to (i) $20 million for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020, (ii) $25 million, $37.5 million, $47.5 million, and $57.5 million for the first, second, third, and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively, (iii) $65.0 million, $75.0 million, $85.0 million and $95.0 million for the first, second, third, and fourth quarters of 2022, respectively, and (iv) $95.0 million for each fiscal quarter thereafter. Among other requirements of the Financing Agreement, we and our subsidiaries party to the Financing Agreement must maintain a minimum unrestricted cash balance of $60.0 million (which, pursuant to Amendment No. 6, is being temporarily lowered to a minimum required cash balance of $45.0 million through December 31, 2020). The Financing Agreement also contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of us and our subsidiaries party to the Financing Agreement to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur liens on our property, (iii) pay dividends or make other distributions, (iv) sell our assets, (v) make certain loans or investments, (vi) merge or consolidate, (vii) voluntarily repay or prepay certain permitted indebtedness and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions. These and other terms in the Financing Agreement have to be monitored closely for compliance and could restrict our ability to grow our business or enter into transactions that we believe would be beneficial to our business. In order to maintain compliance with the minimum unrestricted cash balance requirement of the Financing Agreement, we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital.  We cannot guarantee that future financing sufficient to maintain or exceed the minimum unrestricted cash balance will be available in sufficient amounts, in a timely fashion or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to maintain the minimum unrestricted cash balance, achieve any of the total minimum net revenue requirements or otherwise comply with any other covenant of the Financing Agreement, all or a portion of our obligations under the Financing Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business may not generate cash flow from operations in the future sufficient to service our debt and support our growth strategies, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as selling assets, restructuring debt or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance our indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default on our debt obligations, including under our current debt obligations. 

We may not recognize any anticipated benefits of the proposed disposition of vitaCare Prescription Services or any other divestitures we may pursue in the future.

We have commenced a process for the divestiture of vitaCare Prescription Services. Additionally, we may evaluate other potential divestiture opportunities with respect to portions of our business from time to time, and may determine to proceed with a divestiture opportunity if and when we believe such opportunity is consistent with our business strategy and we would be able to realize value for our stockholders in so doing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell vitaCare Prescription Services. Any divestiture or disposition, including the planned disposition of vitaCare Prescription Services, could expose us to significant risks, including, without limitation, fees for legal and transaction-related services, diversion of management resources, transaction execution risks (including risks resulting from buyer financing and due diligence contingencies and other closing conditions), loss of key personnel and reduction in revenue. Further, we may be required to retain or indemnify a buyer against certain liabilities and obligations in connection with any such divestiture, and we may also become subject to third-party claims arising out of such divestiture. In addition, we may not achieve the expected price in a divestiture transaction, including the proposed sale of vitaCare Prescription Services, which could result in additional losses being recorded. If we do not realize the expected strategic, economic, or other benefits of any divestiture transaction, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. A divesture of vitaCare Prescription Services may be subject to various third party consents. There can be no assurances that we will obtain any necessary consents of governmental authorities or other third parties that might be required in order for us to sell vitaCare Prescription Services or effectuate any other divesture. If we are unable to consummate the divestiture of vitaCare Prescription Services for any reason, our business and financial position could be adversely impacted.

Item 5. Other Information

On November 8, 2020, we entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers which may be, in some cases, broader than the specific indemnification provisions under Nevada law. These agreements, among other things, require us to indemnify each director and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, including indemnification of expenses (including, but not limited to, as attorneys' fees and other litigation-related expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or executive officer, or on the director or executive officer, in connection with such proceeding or any claim, issue, or matter therein, if such director or executive officer either (i) is not liable under Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of our company, and with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of our company, arising out of the person's services as a director or executive officer. Pursuant to the indemnification agreements, we have agreed to advance all expenses incurred by or on behalf of the director or executive officer in connection with defending any proceeding, which amounts shall be repaid to our company if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or executive officer is not entitled to be indemnified by our company. The foregoing summary of the indemnification agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the form of indemnification agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 8, 2020, we and our subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Financing Agreement with the Administrative Agent and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which we temporarily lowered the minimum required cash balance under the Financing Agreement from $60 million to $45 million through December 31, 2020. After December 31, 2020, the minimum cash balance will revert to $60 million. The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 6 does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of Amendment No. 6, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 8, 2020, in connection with entering into Amendment No. 6 to the Financing Agreement, we amended the Warrants to provide for an adjustment to the exercise price if we conduct certain dilutive issuances prior to December 31, 2020, or if the volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock for the fifteen trading days ending December 31, 2020 is lower than the then-current exercise price. The foregoing summary of the Warrant amendments does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Warrant amendments, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.
