SAN
DIEGO, Nov. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Women's
health innovator Evofem Biosciences, Inc. ("Evofem" or "the
Company") (OTCQB: EVFM) today announced financial results for the
third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. Highlights include:
- Acquired global rights to SOLOSEC® (secnidazole) 2g oral
granules, a single-dose oral antibiotic FDA approved to treat
bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis, two common sexual health
infections.
- Licensed Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric acid and potassium
bitartrate) commercial rights in the Middle East to Emirati pharmaceutical company
Pharma 1 Drug Store. The regulatory submission for the hormone-free
contraceptive is on track for submission to the UAE Ministry of
Health by year-end 2024.
- Launched a Market Development Collaboration with Pearsanta
focused on its blood-based diagnostic test for endometriosis, a
chronic disease associated with severe, life-impacting pain that
affects approximately one in ten women of reproductive age.
- Improved loss from operations to $2.4
million for the third quarter of 2024, versus a loss from
operations of $3.6 million in the
prior year quarter.
- Aditxt, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADTX) has invested $5.0 million in Evofem since May 2024, including $1.3
million from the sale of Series F-1 Preferred Stock to
Aditxt in the third quarter of 2024 and $2.7
million in October 2024. These
investments were stipulated in the Amended and Restated Merger
Agreement, as amended (the "A&R Merger Agreement"), between the
companies.
- On November 8, 2024, Evofem
remedied its prior bid price deficiency and regained compliance
with the OTCQB Standards for Continued Eligibility.
"We continue to advance Evofem's strategy to grow revenues
organically and through strategic acquisitions and alliances," said
Saundra Pelletier, CEO of Evofem
Biosciences. "In the third quarter we closed several business
development transactions that we expect will diversify and
strengthen our revenue streams. We acquired and recently relaunched
SOLOSEC as the only single-dose oral treatment FDA-approved for
both bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis. We also forged an
agreement that paves the way for the commercialization
of Phexxi in the GCC, starting with the UAE. In addition, we
launched a market development collaboration with Pearsanta, a
subsidiary of Aditxt, for its endometriosis diagnostic. Further
post-merger support from Aditxt and its ecosystem should help
catalyze our growth trajectory and our ability to execute our
mission to improve women's lives through diversified and
differentiated diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic
offerings."
Financial Results
For the three months ended
September 30, 2024, net product sales
were $4.5 million compared to
$5.1 million in the prior year
period. The 12% decrease primarily reflects lower unit sales in the
current period due to the impact of the continued absence of
marketing, partially offset by the Phexxi WAC increase in
January 2024 and a slight decrease in
variable consideration.
- Total operating expenses were $6.9
million, a decrease of 20% compared to the
prior year period.
- Selling and marketing costs were $2.4
million, a decrease of 20% compared to the prior year
quarter.
- General and administrative costs were $3.1 million, a decrease of 4% compared to the
prior year quarter.
- Research and development costs were $0.3
million, a decrease of 46% compared to the prior year
quarter.
- Cost of goods sold (COGS) were $0.9
million, a 54% decrease compared to the prior year period
primarily due to the lower product sales and the absence of
re-packaging costs in the current year quarter.
As a result, operating loss improved to $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2024 as
compared to an operating loss of $3.6 million in the third quarter of
2023.
Factoring in a $0.1 million gain
in other income, net loss attributable to common stockholders was
$2.4 million, or a loss of
$0.02 per share, for the three months
ended September 30, 2024. This
compares to net income attributable to common shareholders of
$66.0 million, or $15.34 per share, for the prior year quarter,
which reflects a $75.3 million gain
related to the Baker Fourth Amendment, which was treated as a debt
extinguishment, offset in part by a $5.3
million loss on the quarterly valuation of the senior
subordinated convertible notes and purchase rights and warrant
modifications, and $0.5 million of
interest expense related to the Adjuvant Note.
Liquidity
In the third quarter of 2024, Evofem raised
$1.3 million in aggregate net
proceeds through the sale and issuance of 1,260 shares of Series
F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock to Aditxt pursuant to the A&R
Merger Agreement.
At September 30, 2024, the Company
had $0.7 million of restricted cash,
as compared to $0.6 million of
restricted cash at December 31,
2023.
In October 2024, Evofem raised
$2.7 million in aggregate net
proceeds through the sale and issuance of 2,740 shares of Series
F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock to Aditxt pursuant to the A&R
Merger Agreement. Evofem used a portion of this funding to pay in
full its obligations to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
About Evofem Biosciences
Evofem Biosciences, Inc., is
commercializing innovative products to address unmet needs in
women's sexual and reproductive health. The Company's first
FDA-approved product, Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric
acid and potassium bitartrate), is a hormone-free, on-demand
prescription contraceptive vaginal gel. It comes in a box of 12
pre-filled applicators and is applied 0-60 minutes before each act
of sex.
In July 2024 Evofem broadened its
commercial offering with the acquisition of SOLOSEC® (secnidazole)
2g oral granules, an FDA-approved oral antibiotic for the
treatment of two sexual health diseases: bacterial vaginosis (BV),
a common vaginal infection, in females 12 years of age and older,
and trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI),
in people 12 years of age and older. SOLOSEC provides a complete
course of therapy in just one dose.
In December 2023, Evofem entered into a Merger Agreement
with Aditxt, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADTX) under which Aditxt's
subsidiary Adifem, Inc. is expected to merge with and into Evofem,
with Evofem remaining as the surviving entity and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Aditxt. The companies amended and restated the Merger
Agreement, as amended (the "A&R Merger Agreement"), in its
entirety in July 2024. The A&R Merger Agreement was
subsequently amended in August, September, and October 2024, primarily to adjust investment
dates. The closing of the transactions is subject to several
conditions, including approval of the transactions by a majority of
the combined voting power of Evofem's E-1 and Common Stock, voting
together as a single class, at a meeting where quorum is present,
and Aditxt raising sufficient capital to fund its obligations prior
to and at closing.
