Management to Host Conference Call at 4:30 EDT Today
Boca Raton, FL, May 5, 2014 –TherapeuticsMD, Inc. (NYSE MKT: TXMD), a women’s health care company, ("TherapeuticsMD," the "Company," "we," or "our") today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
First Quarter 2014 Highlights:
· | Net revenue increased to $2.8 million compared with $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013; | |
· | Net loss was $9.2 million compared with a net loss of $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013; | |
· | Launched Prena1 Pearl™, the sole generic equivalent formulation of vitaPearl, the smallest complete prescription prenatal multivitamin and the first to contain FOLMAX™, FePlus™, and pur-DHA™; | |
· | Reported positive results of toxicity study of TX-004HR, its estradiol VagiCap drug candidate, for treatment of vulvar vaginal atrophy (VVA), that demonstrated it was "non-irritant" following a 28-day repeated application; | |
· | Filed four additional patent applications, bringing total applications filed and issued to 33; and | |
· | Ended the quarter with $45.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, and no debt. |
Robert G. Finizio, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This has been a busy and exciting quarter for us, highlighted by advancements in clinical trials for our principal hormone therapy drug candidates. Our two largest commercial opportunities are our investigational combination estradiol and progesterone (E+P) therapy for treatment of vasomotor symptoms in menopausal women, and estradiol VagiCap for VVA. We remain on track to complete enrollment this fall in the E+P phase 3 trial, where enrollment is strong and patient retention is positive. Pending a successful trial, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of our E+P drug candidate, we will be well positioned as a first-mover in this multi-billion dollar market to introduce and capitalize on what could be the first safe and effective bioidentical combination hormone therapy product for menopausal women.”
“We are equally excited about the opportunity in VVA. This market more than doubled over the last five years to $1.1 billion in 2013 without any generic options. Our phase 3 VVA clinical trial is designed to assess the ability of our estradiol VagiCap, which leverages our solubilized lipid-based technology to achieve new, lower effective doses that could potentially reduce or eliminate systemic exposure to estradiol. Our goal is to bring to market an innovative VVA drug candidate with a focus on a positive qualitative user experience for menopausal women, while achieving an improved therapeutic profile.” continued Mr. Finizio.
“Our progesterone-only drug candidate for the treatment of secondary amenorrhea is currently undergoing a phase 3 clinical trial, called the SPRY trial. This clinical trial has faced recruiting challenges. To remedy these challenges, we are meeting with the FDA in early June 2014 to discuss potential changes to our inclusion and exclusion criteria.”
“In summary, an increasingly receptive regulatory environment, our promising product pipeline and strong cash position all are contributing to a positive outlook for the Company and we look forward to our ongoing progress in the important field of women’s health care,” Mr. Finizio concluded.
First Quarter Results
Net revenue for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $2.8 million compared with net revenue of $1.5 million for the prior year quarter. The increase of approximately $1.3 million, or 84%, was directly attributable to an increase in the number of physicians writing prescriptions for our prenatal products, the increased productivity of our sales force, and an increase in the average net sales price of our product. Cost of goods sold increased by $450,000, or 118%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared with the prior year quarter.
Research and development expenses increased to $5.9 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2013 because of the development of our hormone therapy drug candidates and related clinical trials.
Sales, general, and administrative expenses increased to $5.0 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $4.5 million for the first quarter of 2013. As a result, our operating loss was $9.0 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2013.
Other non-operating expenses decreased by approximately $1.2 million for the first quarter of 2014 compared with the comparable quarter in 2013. This decrease was primarily a result of a decrease in interest expense.
As a result, net loss for the first quarter of 2014 was $9.2 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, compared with a net loss of $6.4 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013.
