This quarterly report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report), contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are contained principally in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “anticipate,” “aim,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “suggest,” “strategy,” “target,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions or phrases, or the negative of those expressions or phrases, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, we caution you that these statements are based on our projections of the future that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, to differ. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. You should read this Quarterly Report and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report and incorporated by reference herein completely and with the understanding that our actual results may be materially different from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report, and we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

This Quarterly Report contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by the Company relating to market size and growth and other data about its industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.

Our first commercial product, Phexxi, was approved by the FDA on May 22, 2020. Phexxi is the first and only non-hormonal, prescription contraceptive gel that women only use when they have sex. Because Phexxi is a non-hormonal contraceptive, it is not associated with side effects like depression, weight gain, headaches, loss of libido, mood swings and irritability. Taking hormones may not be right for some women especially those with certain medical conditions including clotting disorders and cancer, or when they are breast feeding, have a BMI over 30, smoke, or have diabetes. More than 23.3 million women in the U.S. do not want to get pregnant and will not use a hormonal contraceptive.

We have delivered Phexxi net sales growth in each consecutive year since it was launched in Sept 2020. Key growth drivers for 2024 include expanded use of Phexxi in women who take oral birth control pills in conjunction with GLP-1 prescription medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Zepbound for weight loss. These drugs may make oral birth control pills less effective at certain points in the dosing schedule. Per the USPI, prescribers may “advise patients using oral contraceptives to switch to a non-oral contraceptive method or add a barrier method” to prevent unintended pregnancy during these times.

Phexxi was approved in Nigeria on October 6, 2022, as Femidence™ by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control. Phexxi has been submitted for approval in Mexico, Ethiopia and Ghana.
