TherapeuticsMD Announces First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Rhea-AI Summary

TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NASDAQ: TXMD) reported a 60% increase in net product revenue for Q1 2021, totaling $19.6 million, compared to Q1 2020. The performance was driven by strong sales of ANNOVERA, which saw revenues rise to $8.8 million, and BIJUVA, which grew by 120% to $2.5 million. The company also secured three new patents for ANNOVERA, extending exclusivity to June 2039. Despite a 13% decline in revenue from Q4 2020, the overall outlook remains positive with a continuous improvement in financial performance.

Positive

• Total net product revenue increased 60% year-over-year to $19.6 million.
• ANNOVERA revenue rose to $8.8 million, a 164% increase in prescription volume.
• BIJUVA net revenue surged 120% to $2.5 million.
• Three new patents for ANNOVERA extend exclusivity through June 2039.
• Cash on hand rose to $137.6 million from $80.5 million previously.

Negative

• Total net product revenue decreased by 13% from Q4 2020.
• IMVEXXY prescription volume declined by 14% compared to Q1 2020.
• Gross margin fell to 76% due to production-related write-offs of $0.9 million.

TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NASDAQ: TXMD), an innovative, leading women’s healthcare Company, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2021.

“I am pleased with our ongoing execution across the organization, which is in-line with our 2021 operating plan led by ANNOVERA, which performed well in a challenging environment. Our financial performance continues to improve year-over-year. Both menopausal products, IMVEXXY and BIJUVA, had record net revenue per unit. We are also pleased to report that three new ANNOVERA patents were obtained, strengthening durability and extending exclusivity through June 2039. The Company won its appeal for the new low-dose BIJUVA 0.5/100 with the FDA. We are confident that these milestones, together with our existing and new commercial strategies, will continue to deliver strong growth throughout 2021,” said Robert G. Finizio, Chief Executive Officer of TherapeuticsMD.

• Net revenue per unit, calculated from sales to wholesalers and pharmacies, was $1,071 for the first quarter of 2021. The Company expects net revenue per unit for ANNOVERA to average approximately $1,100 for the year.

• Net revenue per unit, calculated from sales to wholesalers and pharmacies, was approximately $61 for the first quarter of 2021 reflecting a 39% improvement in net price compared to the first quarter of 2020.
• The impact of the Company’s increase in cash pay price for IMVEXXY on January 1, 2021, had a positive impact on net revenue per unit and a short-term impact on volume. Approximately 108,200 prescriptions were dispensed to patients during the first quarter of 2021.

• Net loss continues to improve. The first quarter of 2021 was $39.4 million, or $0.11 per basic and diluted share, compared with net loss for the first quarter of 2020 of $56.8 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share and net loss for the fourth quarter of 2020 of $42.1 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share.
