Finizio, Chief Executive Officer of TherapeuticsMD. “As we begin 2019, we are focused on executing the next phases of our commercialization strategy. IMVEXXY continues to deliver strong growth in prescriptions and in patient refill activity. Its success has laid the foundation for the upcoming launches of BIJUVA in the second quarter of this year and ANNOVERA as early as the third quarter of this year. We are enthusiastic about expanding our BIO-IGNITESM program with our compounding pharmacy partners that represent a large and important channel for physicians and patients in hormone therapy.”

IMVEXXY Launch Continues to Highlight Successful Launch Execution

●

The company commenced the U.S. commercial launch of IMVEXXY (estradiol vaginal inserts) 10-mcg dose in August 2018 and the 4-mcg dose in September 2018 with the support of 150 sales representatives. IMVEXXY is currently available in major U.S. pharmacy chains and through BIO-IGNITE compounding pharmacy partners.

| o | Approximately 47,500 prescriptions of IMVEXXY were dispensed to approximately 22,200 patients during the fourth quarter of 2018. The 3-fold increase in prescription volume for the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to our launch during the third quarter of 2018.

| o | Strong refill rates suggest women are having a positive experience with IMVEXXY. Patients who began treatment in August 2018 have obtained an average of 4.9 refills through January 2019, out of a possible 6 refills.
| o | Through December 31, 2018, the company achieved unrestricted coverage with six of the top ten commercial payers, with three of them adjudicating on January 1, 2019. This includes two commercial payers that were added in the fourth quarter of 2018, which was a large contributor to the 4-fold increase in net revenue growth for IMVEXXY for the fourth quarter of 2018 as compared to our launch during the third quarter of 2018.

| o | After year end, the company came to agreement for commercial coverage of IMVEXXY with United Healthcare, the third largest commercial payer in the U.S, to begin adjudication on March 1, 2019. Additionally, the company secured coverage from United Healthcare and Kaiser (limited to only the maintenance pack) for their Medicare Part D plans.

Summary of Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Financial Results

For the year ended December 31, 2018, net revenues were approximately $16.1 million compared with approximately $16.8 million for the prior year. Net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2018 were approximately $5.1 million compared with net revenues of approximately $4.1 million for the prior year’s quarter. Net revenues from the company’s prescription prenatal vitamin business were approximately $4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with approximately $4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. Net revenues for IMVEXXY for the fourth quarter of 2018 were approximately $0.9 million and were greatly affected by our co-pay assistance program introduced to launch IMVEXXY, which is a maximum $35 out-of-pocket copay assistance program that allows eligible patients to access the product for a reasonable cost regardless of the insurance coverage. The decrease in full-year 2018 net revenues related to lower prenatal vitamins revenues of approximately $1.6 million, primarily due to a lower number of units sold and higher utilization of coupons offered to customers in 2018 as compared to the prior year, partially offset by approximately $1.1 million in net revenues for IMVEXXY. Net revenues for IMVEXXY were greatly affected by our co-pay assistance program. The company expects the net revenues for IMVEXXY to improve as commercial payer coverage for IMVEXXY increases and insurance plans complete the process needed to adjudicate IMVEXXY prescriptions at pharmacies.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for the full-year 2018 decreased to approximately $27.3 million, compared with approximately $33.9 for the prior year. R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 were approximately $6.8 million compared with approximately $11.0 million for the prior year’s quarter. The decrease in full-year 2018 R&D expenses was primarily as a result of the completion of the REPLENISH Trial for BIJUVA and FDA approval of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA, partially offset by scale-up and manufacturing activities for BIJUVA before FDA approval as well as increased pre-clinical work to support our product pipeline.

Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the full-year 2018 increased to approximately $116.0 million, compared with approximately $57.7 million for the prior year. SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2018 were approximately $35.4 million compared with approximately $14.2 million for the prior year’s quarter. The increase in full-year 2018 sales and marketing expenses was primarily a result of increased expenses associated with sales and marketing efforts to support launch and commercialization of IMVEXXY and BIJUVA, including costs related to outsourced sales personnel and their related expenses, physician education and product samples, advertising and travel expenses related to product commercialization. The company expects sales and marketing expenses to continue to increase as it continues the launch of BIJUVA, prepares for the launch of ANNOVERA and continues to support its growing business and commercialization of its products.

Net loss for the full-year 2018 was approximately $132.6 million, or $0.59 per basic and diluted share, compared with approximately $76.9 million, or $0.37 per basic and diluted share, for the full-year of 2017. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2018 was approximately $39.4 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, compared with approximately $21.4 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2017.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2018, the company’s cash on hand totaled approximately $161.6 million, compared with approximately $127.1 million at December 31, 2017. Total outstanding debt, net of issuance costs, was approximately $73.4 million as of December 31, 2018.
