SAN DIEGO, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Evofem Biosciences, Inc., (Nasdaq: EVFM) ("Evofem" or the "Company"), today reported financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022.

"The impact of our disciplined fiscal approach has yielded another quarter of solid performance for Evofem," said Saundra Pelletier, Chief Executive Officer of Evofem. "Our business remains strong and in growth mode, with our third consecutive quarter of increased revenue, a 30 percentage point improvement in gross-to-net, and a reduction in operating expenses of nearly 20%. We are on an upward trajectory and expect these trends to continue. We look forward to the readout of the registrational Phase 3 EVOGUARD clinical trial investigating Phexxi for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea."

First Quarter and Recent Highlights:

  • Increased Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate) net product sales 19% to $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2022 vs. fourth quarter 2021;
  • Improved gross-to-net adjustments to 38%, up 30 percentage points from the prior quarter;
  • Reduced selling and marketing costs by 49%, driving a 19% decrease in total operating expense;
  • Improved loss from operations for the third consecutive quarter to $28.9 million;
  • Contraceptive guidelines updated by the U.S. Department of Labor and Health Resources and Services Administration in an effort to ensure women have access to all FDA-approved contraceptives, including Phexxi, at zero copay under the Affordable Care Act;
  • The Journal of Sexual Medicine published data from the Phase 3 AMPOWER trial demonstrating 88.7% of women using Phexxi improved or maintained their sexual satisfaction;
  • On track to report top-line results in the second half of 2022 from EVOGUARD, the registrational Phase 3 trial evaluating Phexxi for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women;
  • Strengthened team with the appointment of Karina Fedasz as Head of Business Development to focus initially on opening new markets for Phexxi outside the U.S.

Financial Results
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Phexxi net product sales increased to $4.3 million, an increase of 19% versus $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021. The increase reflects an improvement of 30 percentage points in gross-to-net adjustments to 38% for the first quarter of 2022, reflecting the positive impact of adjustments to Evofem's patient support programs in January 2022.

Total operating expenses decreased 19% to $33.2 million for the first quarter of 2021 compared to $41.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

  • Research and development costs were $10.4 million, compared to $8.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting higher clinical trial expenses for the registrational Phase 3 EVOGUARD trial of Phexxi for two potential new indications - prevention of urogenital chlamydia and urogenital gonorrhea infections in women.
  • Selling and marketing costs were $12.7 million, a 49% decrease compared to $24.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower direct-to-consumer marketing costs.
  • General and administrative costs were $9.0 million, compared to $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher outside services fees.

As a result, loss from operations improved to $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to a loss from operations of $37.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.

Liquidity
In the first quarter of 2022, Evofem raised $10 million in gross proceeds from registered direct offerings of notes and received net proceeds of approximately $5.4 million from its equity line of credit. An additional $0.3 million was recorded as other receivables since it was received after the quarter closed. 

At March 31, 2022, the Company had $2.8 million in unrestricted cash and $4.2 million in restricted cash, as compared to $7.7 million of unrestricted cash and $5.1 million of restricted cash at December 31, 2021.

As previously announced, the Evofem management team will host a conference call to discuss its first quarter 2022 financial results and business outlook on Wednesday, May 4, 2022 at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) as follows:
