FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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.
These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements about:

our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations;
our ability to achieve and sustain profitability;
our estimates regarding our future performance, including without limitation, any estimates of potential future revenues;
the rate and degree of market acceptance of Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric acid, and potassium bitartrate) vaginal gel (Phexxi);
our ability to successfully commercialize Phexxi and continue to develop our sales and marketing capabilities;
our strategic plans for our business, including the commercialization of Phexxi;
our estimates regarding expenses, revenues, financial performance and capital requirements, including the length of time our capital resources will sustain our planned operations;
our ability to continue as a going concern;
the impacts of the ongoing pandemic related to a novel strain of a virus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (coronavirus), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), including, without limitation, its impact on our business and commercialization of Phexxi;
the potential for changes to current regulatory mandates requiring health insurance plans to cover United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared or -approved contraceptive products without cost sharing;
our ability to obtain or maintain third-party payer coverage and adequate reimbursement, and our reliance on the willingness of patients to pay out-of-pocket for Phexxi absent full or partial third-party payer reimbursement;
our ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to market and commercialize EVO100 vaginal gel (EVO100) for prevention of urogenital transmission of Chlamydia trachomatis infection (chlamydia) and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection (gonorrhea) in women, and any other product candidate we may seek to develop;
the success, cost and timing of our clinical trials;
our top-line or initial clinical trial data, which are subject to adjustment and revision;
our ability to protect and defend our intellectual property position and our reliance on third party licensors;
our ability to obtain additional patent protection for our product and product candidates;
our dependence on third parties in the conduct of our clinical trials and for the manufacture of Phexxi and our product candidates;
our ability to expand our organization to accommodate potential growth; and
our ability to retain and attract key personnel.

To date, only one of our products, Phexxi vaginal gel, has been approved by the FDA for marketing in the United States. Our other current product candidates are investigational and have not been submitted to or approved by the FDA, and neither Phexxi nor our other product candidates have been approved by the European Medicines Agency or any other regulatory authority anywhere else in the world. This Quarterly Report also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market opportunity, growth and other data about our industry. These data and estimates involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.

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. 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

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Description of Business

Evofem is a San Diego-based, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative products to address unmet needs in women’s sexual and reproductive health, including hormone-free, woman-controlled contraception and protection from certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

The Company’s first commercial product, Phexxi, was approved by the FDA on May 22, 2020 and is the first and only FDA-approved, hormone-free, woman-controlled, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel for women. The Company commercially launched Phexxi in September 2020.

Evofem’s pipeline product candidate, EVO100, is being evaluated for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women - two of the most pervasive STIs in the United States. Currently, there are no FDA-approved prescription products for the prevention of either of these dangerous infections.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company prepared the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

The Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual audited financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2020 included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021 (the 2020 Audited Financial Statements).

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and statements of convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the 2020 Audited Financial Statements.

Risks, Uncertainties and Going Concern

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities, in the normal course of business, and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company’s principal operations have been related to research and development, including the development of Phexxi, and to its commercially related sales and marketing efforts. Additional activities have included raising capital, recruiting personnel and establishing and maintaining a corporate infrastructure to support a commercial product. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. As described in Note 5- Convertible Notes and Note 10- Stockholders' Equity (Deficit), the Company received net proceeds of approximately $28.0 million upon the sale and issuance of common stock from an underwritten public offering in March 2021, gross proceeds of $50.0 million from the issuance of convertible notes in the second and fourth quarter of 2020, net proceeds of approximately $103.7 million upon the sale and issuance of common stock from an underwritten public offering in June 2020, and $3.8 million from its “at the market” (ATM) program, net of commissions, in 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $45.3 million, $18.6 million in restricted cash from the Adjuvant Notes (as defined in Note 5- Convertible Notes) that is available for use, working capital of $4.6 million and an accumulated deficit of $701.6 million.

The Company is subject to risks common to other life science companies in the development and early commercial stage including, but not limited to, uncertainty regarding the commercial success of Phexxi and the development of its pipeline

Table of Contents
product candidate, EVO100; potential disruption of its research and development and commercialization activities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; lack of marketing and sales history; potential development by its competitors of new and competitive technological innovations; dependence on key personnel; market acceptance of Phexxi or any other future approved products, if any; product liability; protection of proprietary technology; ability to raise additional financing; and compliance with the FDA and other government regulations, including post marketing regulations. Management’s plans to meet its short- and long-term operating cash flow requirements include generating recurring product revenue and obtaining additional funding, such as through the issuance of its common stock, non-dilutive financings, or through collaborations or partnerships with other companies.

While the Company has recognized limited revenues since the launch of Phexxi in September 2020, the Company anticipates it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. According to management estimates, liquidity resources as of March 31, 2021 are not sufficient to maintain its planned level of operations for the twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

These circumstances and the uncertainties associated with the Company’s ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing on terms that are favorable to the Company, enter into collaborative agreements with strategic partners, and otherwise succeed in its future operations raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

If the Company is not able to obtain the required funding in the near term, through equity or debt financings or other means, or is unable to obtain funding on terms favorable to the Company, this will have a material adverse effect on its commercialization and development operations and strategic development plan for future growth. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional funding and implement its strategic development plan, the Company may be forced to make reductions in spending, including spending in connection with its commercialization activities, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible at a potentially lower amount than as recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements, suspend or curtail planned operations or cease operations entirely. Any of these could materially and adversely affect its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects and the Company would not be able to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events were evaluated through the filing date of this Quarterly Report, May 6, 2021. See Note 10- Stockholders' Equity for discussions on subsequent events which occurred in April 2021.

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto.

Significant estimates affecting amounts reported or disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to: the assumptions used in measuring the revenue gross-to-net variable consideration items, the trade accounts receivable credit loss reserve estimate, the discount rate used in estimating the fair value of the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of convertible notes, warrants and purchase rights issued, the useful lives of property and equipment, the recoverability of long-lived assets, clinical trial accruals, the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation expense and in assessing the probability of achieving certain milestones associated with the performance-based restricted stock awards (performance-based RSAs). These assumptions are more fully described in Note 3- Revenue, Note 5- Convertible Notes, Note 7- Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Note 8- Commitments and Contingencies, and Note 11- Stock-based Compensation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or other relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and adjusts when facts and circumstances dictate. The estimates are the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and recorded expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results may materially differ from those estimates or assumptions.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, who is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment.

Table of Contents
Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Deposits in the Company’s checking, time deposit and investment accounts are maintained in federally insured financial institutions and are subject to federally insured limits or limits set by Securities Investor Protection Corporation. The Company invests in funds through a major U.S. bank and is exposed to credit risk in the event of default to the extent of amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant concentrations of credit risk on its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash balances due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which these deposits are held.

The Company is also subject to credit risk related to its trade accounts receivable from product sales. Its customers are located in the United States and consist of wholesale distributors and a specialty retail pharmacy. The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business after evaluating their overall financial condition and evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable by periodically reviewing the age of the receivables, the financial condition of its customers, and its past collection experience. Historically, the Company has not experienced any credit losses. As of March 31, 2021, based on the evaluation of these factors the Company did not record an allowance for doubtful accounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s three largest customers combined made up approximately 87% of its gross product sales. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company had no product sales. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company's three largest customers combined made up 89% and 95%, respectively, of its trade accounts receivable balance.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the significant accounting policies that were described in Note 2 to the 2020 Audited Financial Statements during the first quarter of 2021.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents consist of readily available cash in checking accounts and money market funds. Restricted cash consists of cash held in monthly time deposit accounts and letters of credit, which are collateral for the Company’s credit cards, facility leases and fleet leases as described in Note 8- Commitments and Contingencies. As of March 31, 2021, the Company maintained letters of credit of $0.8 million and $0.3 million for its office lease and fleet leases, respectively. Additionally, the remaining $18.6 million of the $25.0 million received from the issuance of Adjuvant Notes in the fourth quarter of 2020, is classified as restricted cash as the Company is contractually obligated to use the funds for specific purposes.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, reported within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive securities outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock and if-converted methods. For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive and, therefore, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for all periods presented. Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share are summarized in the table below.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt (ASU No. 2020-06), removing, modifying and adding certain disclosure requirements of ASC 470, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. ASU No. 2020-06 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating when to adopt ASU 2020-06 and the expected impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of Phexxi in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The provisions of ASC 606 require the following steps to determine revenue recognition: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer. In accordance with the Company’s contracts with customers, control of the product is transferred upon the conveyance of title, which occurs when the product is sold to and received by a customer. The Company’s customers are located in the United States and consist of wholesale distributors and a specialty retail pharmacy. Payment terms typically range from 45 to 66 days, include prompt pay discounts, and vary by customer. Trade accounts receivable due to the Company from contracts with its customers are stated separately in the balance sheet, net of various allowances as described in the Trade Accounts Receivable policy in Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the 2020 Audited Financial Statements.

The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is equal to the amount of consideration that is expected to be received from the sale of product to its customers. Revenue is only recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied. To determine whether a significant reversal will occur in future periods, the Company assesses both the likelihood and magnitude of any such potential reversal of revenue.

Phexxi is sold to customers at the wholesale acquisition cost (WAC). However, the Company records product revenue, net of reserves for applicable variable consideration. These types of variable consideration reduce revenue and include the following:

Distribution services fees
Prompt pay and other discounts
Product returns
Chargebacks
Rebates
Patient support programs, including our co-pay programs

10

Table of Contents
An estimate for variable consideration is made with each sale and is recorded in conjunction with the revenue being recognized. To calculate the variable consideration, the Company uses the expected value method. If the estimated amount is payable to a customer, it is recorded as a reduction to accounts receivable. If the estimated amount is payable to an entity other than a customer, it is recorded as a current liability. An estimated amount of variable consideration may differ from the actual amount. At each balance sheet date, these provisions are analyzed and adjustments are made if necessary. Any adjustments made to these provisions would also affect net product revenue and earnings.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company must make significant judgments to determine the estimate for certain variable consideration. For example, the Company must estimate the percentage of end-users that will obtain the product through public insurance such as Medicaid or through private commercial insurance. To determine these estimates, the Company relies on historical sales data showing the amount of various end-user consumer types, inventory reports from the wholesale distributors and specialty pharmacy, and other relevant data reports. Because Phexxi was launched in September 2020, this historical data is limited. Due to limits on historical data, the Company has also used trend analysis, industry standard data, and professional judgment in developing these estimates.

The specific considerations that the Company uses in estimating these amounts related to variable consideration are as follows:

Distribution services fees – The Company pays distribution service fees to its wholesale distributors and specialty pharmacy. These fees are a contractually fixed percentage of WAC, and are calculated at the time of sale based on the purchase amount. The Company considers these fees to be separate from the customer’s purchase of the product, therefore, they are recorded in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Prompt pay and other discounts – The Company incentivizes its customers to pay their invoices on time through prompt pay discounts. These discounts are an industry standard practice, and the Company offers a prompt pay discount to each wholesale distributor customer. The specific prompt pay terms vary by customer and are contractually fixed. Prompt pay discounts are typically taken by the Company’s customers, so an estimate of the discount is recorded at the time of sale based on the purchase amount. Prompt pay discount estimates are recorded as contra trade accounts receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company may also give other discounts to its customers to incentivize purchases and promote customer loyalty. The terms of such discounts may vary by customer. These discounts reduce gross product revenue at the time the revenue is recognized.

Chargebacks – Certain government entities and covered entities (e.g. Veterans Administration, 340B covered entities) will be able to purchase the product at a price discounted below WAC. The Company has finalized agreements with these types of entities. The difference between the government or covered entity purchase price and the wholesale distributor purchase price of WAC will be charged back to the Company. The Company estimates the amount of each chargeback channel based on the expected number of claims in each channel and related chargeback that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Estimated chargebacks are recorded as contra trade accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.

Rebates – The Company is subject to mandatory discount obligations under the Medicaid and Tricare programs. The Company has finalized agreements with Medicaid and Tricare. The rebate amounts for these programs are determined by statutory requirements or contractual arrangements. Rebates are owed after the product has been dispensed to an end user and the Company has been invoiced. Rebates for Medicaid and Tricare are typically invoiced in arrears. The Company estimates the amount in rebates based on the expected number of claims and related cost that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Rebate estimates are recorded as other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Patient support programs – One type of patient support program the Company offers is a co-pay program to commercially insured patients whose insurance requires a co-pay to be made when filling their prescription. This is a voluntary program that is intended to provide financial assistance to patients meeting certain eligibility requirements. The Company estimates the amount of financial assistance for these programs based on the expected number of claims and related cost that is associated with the revenue being recognized for product that remains in the distribution channel at the end of each reporting period. Patient support programs estimates are recorded as other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Product returns – Retail pharmacies and wholesalers have the right to return product that is within six months or less of the labeled expiration date or that is past the expiration date by no more than six months. Phexxi was commercially launched in September 2020 and there were no returns as of March 31, 2021. The Company uses historical sales and return data to estimate future product returns. Product return estimates are recorded as other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2021, the accrued balance associated with variable considerations discussed above was approximately $1.6 million.

4.Inventories

At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates ending inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, or shelf-life expiration. The evaluation includes an analysis of the Company’s current and future strategic plans, anticipated future sales, the price projections of future demand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. To the extent that management determines there are excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration date for the Company to reasonably expect it can sell those products before they expire, the Company adjusts the carrying value to estimated net realizable value in accordance with the first-in, first-out inventory costing method.

The inventory costs include all purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Prior to April 2020, costs incurred for the manufacture of Phexxi were recorded as research and development expenses.

Inventories consist of the following (in thousands) for the period indicated:

5.Convertible Notes

Baker Bros. Notes

On April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase and Security Agreement (the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement) with certain affiliates of Baker Bros. Advisors LP, as purchasers (the Baker Purchasers), and Baker Bros. Advisors LP, as designated agent, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Baker Purchasers (i) convertible senior secured promissory notes (the Baker Notes) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the Baker Warrants) in a private placement.

At the initial closing date of April 24, 2020 (the Baker Initial Closing), the Company issued and sold Baker Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million (the Baker First Closing Notes) and Baker Warrants exercisable for 3,073,770 shares of common stock.

Following the Baker Initial Closing, the Baker Purchasers had an option to purchase from the Company up to $10.0 million of Baker Notes (the Baker Purchase Rights) at the Baker Purchasers’ discretion at any time prior to the Company receiving at least $100.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds from one or more sales of equity securities.

On June 5, 2020 (the Exercise Date), the Baker Purchasers exercised the Baker Purchase Rights. At the second closing date of June 9, 2020, the Baker Purchasers acquired the remaining Baker Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million and Baker Warrants exercisable for 2,049,180 shares of common stock. With the completion of the underwritten public offering in June 2020 as further discussed in Note 10- Stockholders' Equity, the conversion price of the Baker Notes and the exercise price of the Baker Warrants is $2.44. The Baker Warrants have a five-year term with a cashless exercise provision and are immediately exercisable at any time from their respective issuance date.

The Baker Notes have a five-year term, with no pre-payment ability. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Baker Notes (the Baker Outstanding Balance) accrues at 10.0% per annum with interest accrued during the first year from the two respective closing dates recognized as payment-in-kind. Accrued interest beyond the first year of the respective closing dates are to be paid in arrears on a quarterly basis in cash or recognized as payment-in-kind, at the direction of the Purchasers. Interest expense pertaining to the Baker Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $0.6 million and is included in short-term convertible notes payable on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021.

The Baker Notes are convertible at any time at the option of the Baker Purchasers at the conversion price of $2.44 per share. The Baker Notes are callable by the Company on 10 days’ written notice beginning on the third anniversary of the Baker

Table of Contents
Initial Closing. The call price will equal 100% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest if the Company’s common stock as measured using a 30-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) is greater than the benchmark price of $4.99 as stated in the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, or 110% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest if the VWAP is less than such benchmark price. The Baker Purchasers also have the option to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of the Baker Notes in cash upon the occurrence of certain events. In a repurchase event, as defined in the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, the repurchase price will equal 110% of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest. In an event of default or the Company’s change of control, the repurchase price will equal to the sum of (x) three times of the Baker Outstanding Balance plus (y) the aggregate value of future interest that would have accrued. Collectively, these options are the “Embedded Features” of the Baker Notes.

The Company's stockholders approved the issuance of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Baker Notes and the exercise of the Baker Warrants in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(b) and 5635(d) at its special meeting of stockholders held on June 18, 2020 (the Approval Date).

The Company evaluated whether any of the Embedded Features required bifurcation as a separate component of equity. The Company elected the fair value option (FVO) under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (ASC 825), as the Baker Notes are qualified financial instruments and are, in whole, classified as liabilities. Under the FVO, the Company recognized the hybrid debt instrument at fair value inclusive of the Embedded Features. The Company also determined that the Baker Warrants and the Baker Purchase Rights were free standing financial instruments and were classified as liabilities at the time of issuance in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity due to the required stockholders’ approval noted above.

Under the valuation methods as described in Note 7- Fair Value Financial Instruments, the Company recorded the following in the condensed consolidated financial statements related to the Baker Notes and Baker Warrants during the quarter ended June 30, 2020: (i) an aggregate of $58.1 million in convertible notes and an aggregate of $46.7 million for warrants and purchase rights liability at the Baker Initial Closing and Exercise Date; (ii) a $64.0 million loss on issuance of financial instruments recognized at the Baker Initial Closing and Exercise Date in the condensed consolidated statement of operations; (iii) an aggregate $34.1 million gain on fair value changes of financial instruments as a result of mark-to-market adjustments on the Baker Notes, Baker Warrants and Baker Purchase Rights recognized respectively at the Exercise Date, Approval Date and the quarter ended June 30, 2020, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations; (iv) a $15.8 million reclassification from purchase rights liability to the convertible notes and warrants liability on the Exercise Date; and (v) an $11.0 million reclassification from warrants liability to additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheet on the Approval Date. In addition, the Company concluded that there was no change in the underlying instrument-specific credit risk between the issuance dates for the Baker Notes and March 31, 2021, and, therefore there was no change recognized in the fair value of the convertible notes associated with differences in credit risk that would be presented separately as a component of other comprehensive income.

Using the same valuation methods discussed in Note 7- Fair Value Financial Instruments, the Company recorded a $0.1 million loss on fair value changes of financial instruments as a result of mark-to-market adjustments recognized on the Baker Notes for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Baker Notes contain various customary affirmative and negative covenants agreed to by the Company. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at March 31, 2021. The Baker Notes also include customary events of default as set forth in the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, such that, in an event of default, the Baker Purchasers will have the right to accelerate repayment of the aggregate loan balance then outstanding.

As of March 31, 2021, the Baker Notes are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as short-term convertible notes payable with a total balance of $53.2 million. The balance is comprised of a $50.9 million fair value of the Baker Notes and $2.3 million in accrued interest.

Adjuvant Notes

On October 14, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement) with Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund, L.P., and Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund DE, L.P. (together, the Adjuvant Purchasers), pursuant to which the Company sold unsecured convertible promissory notes (the Adjuvant Notes) in aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million.

The Adjuvant Notes have a five-year term with interest accruing at 7.5% per annum on a quarterly basis in arrears to the outstanding balance of the Notes and are recognized as payment-in-kind. Interest expense pertaining to the Adjuvant Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $0.5 million and is included in long-term convertible notes payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. In connection with certain Company change of
13

Table of Contents
control transactions, the Adjuvant Notes may be prepaid at the option of the Company or will become payable at the option of the Adjuvant Purchasers.

The Adjuvant Notes are convertible, subject to customary 4.99% and 19.99% beneficial ownership limitations, into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at any time at the option of the Adjuvant Purchasers at a conversion price of $3.65 per share. To the extent not previously prepaid or converted, the Notes will automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price immediately following the earliest of the time at which the (i) 30-day value-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock is $10.00 per share, or (ii) Company achieves cumulative net sales from the sales of Phexxi of $100,000,000, provided such net sales are achieved prior to July 1, 2022.

The Adjuvant Notes contain various customary affirmative and negative covenants agreed to by the Company. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at March 31, 2021. The Adjuvant Notes also include customary events of default as set forth in the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement, such that, in an event of default, the Adjuvant Purchasers will have the right to accelerate repayment of the aggregate loan balance then outstanding.

The Adjuvant Notes are accounted for in accordance with authoritative guidance for convertible debt instruments. The $25.0 million in proceeds is considered to be restricted cash for financial reporting purposes due to contractual stipulations that specify the types of expenses the money can be spent on and how it must be allocated. As of March 31, 2021, there is $18.6 million in proceeds remaining that is included in restricted cash on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

As of March 31, 2021, the Adjuvant Notes are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as long-term convertible notes payable with a total balance of $25.7 million. The balance is comprised of $24.8 million in principal and $0.9 million in accrued interest.

Baker Notes

The fair value of the Baker Notes issued as described in Note 5- Convertible Notes, and subsequent changes in fair value recorded at the March 31, 2021 reporting date, were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model. Monte Carlo simulation was used to take into account several factors including the future value of the Company's common stock, a potential change of control event, the maturity term of the Baker Notes, the probability of an event of voluntary conversion of the Baker Notes, exercise of the put right, and exercise of the Company's call right.

Pursuant to the Rush License Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to Rush University an earned royalty based upon a percentage of net sales in the range of mid-single digits. In September 2020, the Company entered the first amendment to the Rush License Agreement, pursuant to which the Company is also obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty amount of $100,000 to the extent the earned royalties do not equal or exceed $100,000 commencing January 1, 2021. Such royalty payments were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

9.Related-party Transactions

Consulting Agreements

Effective April 1, 2019, the Company entered into a new two-year consulting agreement with Thomas Lynch (the 2019 Consulting Agreement).

Stockholder Rights Agreement

On March 24, 2020, the Company entered into a rights agreement (the Rights Agreement) with Philadelphia Stock Transfer, Inc., as rights agent. In connection with the adoption of the Rights Agreement and pursuant to its terms, the Company’s board of directors authorized and declared a dividend of one right (each, a Right) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 8, 2020 (the Record Date), and authorized the issuance of one Right for each share of common stock issued by the Company (except as otherwise provided in the Rights Agreement) between the Record Date and the Distribution Date (as defined below). The Rights Agreement expired in accordance with its terms as of the close of business on March 24, 2021, and is no longer in force.

Each Right entitled stockholders to purchase from the Company, when exercisable and subject to adjustment, one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $17.50 per Unit (the Purchase Price). The Rights were generally to become exercisable (the Distribution Date) upon the earlier of (i) 10 business days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an Acquiring Person) had acquired or otherwise obtained beneficial ownership of 32% or more of the then‑outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, and (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as may be determined by the board of directors of the Company) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would have resulted in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person. If a person became an Acquiring Person, then each holder of a Right would thereafter have had the right to receive, upon exercise, Units of Preferred Stock or, at the option of the Company, shares of common stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times the Purchase Price of the Right. If the Company were acquired in a merger or similar business combination transaction at any time after a person had become an Acquiring Person, each holder of a right (other than the Acquiring Person and certain related parties) would have been entitled to purchase a similar amount of common stock of the acquiring entity.

Total$3,464 $3,401 

The 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2012 Plan) provides for the issuance of RSAs, RSUs, or non-qualified and incentive common stock options to its employees, non-employee directors and consultants, from its authorized shares. In general, the options expire ten years from the date of grant and generally vest either (i) over a four-year period, with 25% exercisable at the end of one year from the employee’s hire date and the balance vesting ratably thereafter or (ii) over a three-year period, with 25% exercisable at the grant date and the balance vesting ratably thereafter. No further awards may be issued under the 2012 Plan.

On September 15, 2014, the Company's board of directors adopted, and stockholders approved, the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2014 Plan), which was amended and restated on each of May 2018 and February 26, 2019 (the Amended
20

Table of Contents
and Restated 2014 Plan), which among other things, increased the number of authorized shares under the 2014 Plan from 749,305 to an aggregate of 7,800,000 shares. On February 25, 2020, the Company’s board of directors approved, subject to stockholder approval, and recommended its stockholders approve at the 2020 Annual Meeting, an additional 2,000,000 authorized shares reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan to an aggregate of 11,725,515 shares, including the Evergreen Shares discussed below. Such stockholder approval was obtained on May 12, 2020. Per the terms of the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan, the shares reserved will automatically increase on each January 1 through 2024, by an amount equal to the smaller of (i) 4% of the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31; or (ii) an amount determined by our board of directors. This provision resulted in an additional 3,254,061 shares (Evergreen Shares) added to the total number of authorized shares on January 1, 2021.

On July 24, 2018, upon the recommendation by the Compensation Committee, the Company's board of directors adopted the Evofem Biosciences, Inc. 2018 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the Inducement Plan), pursuant to which the Company reserved 250,000 shares for the issuance of equity awards under the Inducement Plan. The Inducement Plan was amended effective February 25, 2020 (the Amended Inducement Plan), which increased the number of authorized shares to an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares. The only persons eligible to receive awards under the Inducement Plan are individuals who satisfy the standards for inducement grant recipients under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4), generally, a person not previously an employee or director of the Company, or following a bona fide period of non-employment, as an inducement material to the individual’s entering into employment with the Company. 

Stock Options

There were 2,478,025 and 1,475,485 shares of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for employees and non-employee stock options was approximately $13.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.8 years, assuming all unvested options become fully vested.
Summary of Assumptions
The fair value of noncash stock-based compensation for stock options granted to employees and non-employees was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted for the periods indicated.
Three Months Ended March 31,
20212020
Expected volatility100.3 %77.5 %
Risk-free interest rate0.6 %1.3 %
Expected dividend yield— %— %
Expected term (years)6.05.9
Expected volatility. The expected volatility assumption is based on volatilities of a peer group of similar companies whose share prices are publicly available. The peer group was developed based on companies in the biotechnology industry.
Risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected term of the stock option grants.
Expected dividend yield. The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends.
Expected term. The expected term represents the period options are expected to be outstanding. Because the Company does not have historical exercise behavior, it determines the expected term assumption using the practical expedient as provided for under ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which is the midpoint between the requisite service period and the contractual term of the option.

Restricted Stock Awards and Units

There were 1,772,500 and 1,245,000 shares of RSAs granted under the Amended and Restated 2014 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, to the Company's executive management team, certain non-executive employees and consultants. The vesting conditions for 1,767,500 shares of RSAs granted during the first quarter of 2021 and all of the RSAs granted during the first quarter of 2020 are connected to the Company’s achievement of certain performance milestones in the corresponding fiscal year.

21

Table of Contents
For the Performance-based RSAs, (i) the fair value of the award was determined on the grant date, (ii) the Company assessed the probability of achieving each individual milestone associated with the award using reasonable assumptions based on the Company's operation performance towards each milestone and (iii) the fair value of the shares subject to the milestone is expensed over the implicit service period commencing once management believes the performance criteria is probable of being met. The non-performance based RSAs and RSUs were valued at the fair value on the grant date and the associated expenses will be recognized over the vesting period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized $1.6 million in stock-based compensation expense related to RSAs. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $2.0 million stock-based compensation expense related to RSAs and RSUs. As of March 31, 2021, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested RSAs was approximately $4.9 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average remaining period of 0.6 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On May 7, 2019, the board of directors approved a 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the 2019 ESPP), which was approved by stockholders at the 2019 annual meeting held on June 5, 2019. The 2019 ESPP initially authorized the issuance of 500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to purchase rights granted to employees. In addition, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2019 ESPP will increase on January 1 of each year in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 1,000,000 shares, (ii) 2% of the shares of common stock outstanding on December 31, or (iii) such lesser number of shares as is determined by the board of directors. This provision resulted in an additional 1,000,000 shares added to the total number of authorized shares on January 1, 2021. The 2019 ESPP is intended to qualify as an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The 2019 ESPP enables eligible full-time and part-time employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock through payroll deductions of between 1% and 15% of eligible compensation during an offering period. A new offering period begins approximately every June 15 and December 15. At the last business day of each offering period, the accumulated contributions made during the offering period will be used to purchase shares. The purchase price is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on the first or the last business day of an offering period. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be purchased by any participant during an offering period will be equal to $25,000 divided by the fair market value of the common stock on the first business day of an offering period. The current active offering period under the 2019 ESPP commenced on December 15, 2020 and will end on June 14, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no shares of common stock purchased under the 2019 ESPP.

The fair value of shares to be issued to employees under the 2019 ESPP is estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model at the grant date, which requires the use of subjective and complex assumptions, including (i) the expected stock price volatility, (ii) the calculation of the expected term of the award, (iii) the risk-free interest rate and (iv) the expected dividend yield. No grant date fair value calculation was performed during three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Overview

We are a San Diego-based commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to developing and commercializing innovative products to address unmet needs in women’s sexual and reproductive health.

Our first commercial product, Phexxi® (lactic acid, citric acid, and potassium bitartrate) vaginal gel (Phexxi), was approved by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 22, 2020 and commercially launched in the United States in September 2020. Phexxi is the first and only FDA approved hormone-free, woman-controlled, on-demand prescription contraceptive gel for women. We are conducting a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate our lead product candidate EVO100 vaginal gel (EVO100) for the prevention of urogenital transmission of both chlamydia and gonorrhea in women. We refer to this trial as “EVOGUARD”.

Phexxi: Our Non-hormonal, On-Demand Birth Control

We commercially launched Phexxi in September 2020 with a sales force promoting Phexxi directly to obstetrician/gynecologists and their affiliated health professionals, who collectively write the majority of prescriptions for contraceptive products. Our sales force comprises 59 regional business representatives, 11 regional business managers, and a self-guided virtual healthcare provider learning platform.

Our comprehensive commercial strategy for Phexxi includes marketing and product awareness campaigns targeting women in the United States of reproductive potential, including the approximately 23 million women who are not using hormonal contraception and the approximately 18.8 million women who are using a prescription contraceptive, some of whom, particularly pill users, may be ready to move to an FDA-approved, non-invasive hormone-free contraceptive, as well as certain identified target healthcare provider segments; payer outreach; and execution of our consumer digital and media strategy.

In December 2020 two U.S. patents that cover Phexxi and its labeled indication were listed in the U.S. FDA publication Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations, commonly known as the Orange Book. The Orange Book listing of these two patents covering Phexxi’s composition of matter and its method of use in prevention of pregnancy is an important step in the ongoing development of our patent portfolio, which currently covers Phexxi into 2033. The newly listed method of use patent, number 10,568,855 (the ‘855 patent), covers contraception using the L-lactic acid Phexxi formulation. The ‘855 patent was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in February 2020 and is expected to expire in March 2033. The newly listed patent number 6,706,276 (the ‘276 patent) is a composition of matter patent covering Phexxi. Evofem has an exclusive license to this patent, which is held by Rush University. The ‘276 patent was issued by the USPTO in March 2004 and is expected to expire in March 2026 based on the five-year patent term extension application that was timely filed by the patent owner.

On February 14, 2021, we launched a direct-to-consumer advertising campaign, known as “Get Phexxi,” designed to increase awareness and educate women on the benefits of Phexxi. The campaign highlights some of the struggles women face when choosing among the many available methods of contraception, including the lack of control with condoms, constant daily use of the pill, and abstinence required for cycle tracking. The “Get Phexxi” ads aired and continue to air nationally across broadcast, connected, and streaming television networks.

Also in February 2021, we announced our collaboration with the National Community Oncology Dispensing Association, Inc., a premier educational platform for community and academic oncology practices nationwide. Together we intend to develop educational resources and information to raise awareness about the importance and availability of Phexxi as a new non-hormonal birth control method for female patients living with, fighting and recovering from cancer. Every year in the United States, more than 800,000 new cases of cancer are reported among women, and many cancer treatment protocols require female patients of reproductive age to use birth control while undergoing treatment. Until the introduction of Phexxi, non-hormonal prescription contraception options were starkly limited; previously, women were generally steered toward condoms or the copper IUD, a prescription medical device that is implanted in the uterus where it releases copper ions and can cause inflammation.

We continue to increase the number of lives covered and to gain preferred formulary position for Phexxi. As of May 2021, we had obtained coverage for approximately 55% of U.S. commercial lives, including approximately 9 million lives covered at no out-of-pocket cost and approximately 13.7 million lives covered under our December 2020 contract award from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. On January 1, 2021, the U.S. Medicaid population gained access to Phexxi through our participation in the Medicaid National Drug Rebate Program. Medicaid provides health coverage to approximately 68 million members, including approximately 16.8 million women 19-49 years of age.

23

Table of Contents
In June 2020, Medi-Span and First Databank, two major drug information databases that payers consult for pricing and product information, granted Phexxi a new classification in their databases and pricing compendia as the first and only “Vaginal pH Modulator.”

We are working with the FDA’s Office of Women’s Health to update their Birth Control Guide to also include a new category for vaginal pH modulators as we believe the current guide is outdated and medically inaccurate. Phexxi’s unique mechanism of action is neither a spermicide nor a barrier contraceptive method and does not fit into any of the existing 18 contraceptive categories. Payers (including pharmacy benefit managers) use the Birth Control Guide to determine which methods they need to cover under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the ACA).

EVO100: Our STI Preventive Product Candidate

Our lead product candidate, EVO100, is an antimicrobial vaginal gel under evaluation for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea in women - two of the most pervasive sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States. Currently, there are no FDA‑approved prescription products for the prevention of either of these commonly reported STIs.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), any sexually active person can be infected with chlamydia and/or gonorrhea. Despite the CDC recommendation for condom use to prevent STIs, U.S. rates of infection with chlamydia and gonorrhea climbed in 2019 for the sixth consecutive year. Based on these reports, an estimated 78 million women 18-65 years of age who are sexually active in the United States could be at risk to contract these STIs.

Based on the positive and statistically significant top-line results of our Phase 2B/3 AMPOWER trial, we initiated our Phase 3 EVOGUARD clinical trial in October 2020. This randomized, placebo-controlled pivotal trial is designed to enroll 1,730 women with a prior chlamydia or gonorrhea infection and who are at risk for future infection. Participants are enrolled for a 16-week interventional phase followed by a one-month follow-up period. All 90 planned study sites have been identified and 80 of the sites have been activated as of May 5, 2021. We expect to complete enrollment in the fourth quarter of 2021 and to report top-line EVOGUARD results in mid-2022. Assuming positive results from the trial, we expect to submit a New Drug Application for EVO100 by the end of 2022.

The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to EVO100 for the prevention of chlamydia in women and has designated it a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) for the prevention of gonorrhea in women. QIDP designation provides several important potential advantages, including qualification for the FDA Fast Track program and longer market exclusivity, among others.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The current worldwide pandemic related to a novel strain of a virus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (coronavirus), which causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has presented substantial public health and economic challenges and is affecting our employees, customers, communities and business operations, as well as the U.S. and global economies and financial markets.

Any disruptions in the commercialization of Phexxi and/or the completion of our clinical trials, data analysis or readouts and/or any disruption in our supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the success of ongoing COVID-19 vaccination efforts, the emergence, prevalence and strength of variant strains, and the actions taken to contain or treat the disease, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.

Financial Operations Overview

Net Product Sales

Our revenue recognition is based on unit shipments from our third party logistics warehouse to our wholesalers. We have recognized net product sales in the United States since the commercial launch of Phexxi in September 2020 and the quarter ended March 31, 2021 was our second full quarter of product sales.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, shipments to our wholesalers and mail order specialized pharmacy grew significantly compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and resulted in higher sequential gross revenues quarter over quarter of approximately 290%. Gross revenues, as discussed in Note 3- Revenue, were adjusted for variable consideration,
24

Table of Contents
including our patient support programs. The resulting increase in net revenues reflects the higher gross revenues as well as more favorable gross-to net (GTN) adjustments in the current period. The Company expects GTN adjustments will significantly improve throughout the remainder of 2021, driven by a series of GTN improvement initiatives that Evofem began implementing in April 2021 as part of its overall strategy to build Phexxi trial usage and loyalty.

We intend to out-license commercialization rights for Phexxi to one or more pharmaceutical companies or other qualified potential partners for countries or regions outside of the United States. We are currently in discussion with potential partners for various geographies. We cannot forecast when or if these arrangements will be secured, the structure or potential amount of revenues from these arrangements, whether upfront, milestone-related or related to future Phexxi sales, assuming approval of Phexxi for commercial sale outside of the United States, or to what degree these arrangements would affect our development plans, future revenues and overall capital requirements.

Cost of Goods Sold

The Company began to capitalize the inventory costs associated with Phexxi in April 2020 when it was determined that this inventory had a probable future economic benefit. These inventory costs include all purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Prior to April 2020, costs incurred for the manufacture of Phexxi were recorded as research and development expenses.

In addition, we are obligated to pay quarterly royalty payments pursuant to our license agreement with Rush University Medical Center, in amounts equal to a single-digit percentage of the gross amounts we receive on a quarterly basis less certain deductions incurred in the quarter based on a sliding scale. We are also obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty amount of $100,000 to the extent these earned royalties do not equal or exceed $100,000 in a given year. A minimum annual royalty amount of $100,000 was first required for the annual period commencing on January 1, 2021. This royalty payment was immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and was included in the costs of goods sold in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Operating Expenses

Research and development expenses

Our research and development expenses primarily consist of costs associated with the clinical development of EVO100 and costs associated with the continuous improvements related to Phexxi commercialization efforts. These expenses include:
external development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, such as fees paid to clinical research organizations (CROs) relating to our clinical trials, costs of acquiring and evaluating clinical trial data such as investigator grants, patient screening fees, laboratory work and statistical compilation and analysis, and fees paid to consultants;
costs to acquire, develop and manufacture clinical trial materials, including fees paid to contract manufacturers;
costs related to compliance with drug development regulatory requirements;
continuous improvements of manufacturing and analytical efficiency;
on-going product characterization and process optimization;
back-up contract manufacturing organization's evaluation to support future commercial forecast and reduce cost of goods sold;
alternative raw material evaluation to secure an uninterrupted supply chain and reduce cost of goods sold;
employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and noncash stock-based compensation expense; and
facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities, depreciation of leasehold improvements and equipment, and research and other supplies.

We anticipate that we will determine which programs and product candidates to pursue as well as the most appropriate funding allocations for each program and product candidate on an ongoing basis in response to the results of ongoing and future clinical trials, regulatory developments, and our ongoing assessments of the commercial potential of each current or future product candidate. We expect research and development expenses to increase significantly primarily due to EVOGUARD, which was initiated in October 2020. Depending on the Phexxi revenue trajectory, we may need to raise significant additional capital in the future to complete clinical development for EVO100 and any future product candidates.

The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a program owing to the following:

per patient trial costs;
the number of sites included in the trials;
the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;
the number of patients participating in the trials;
the number of doses patients receive;
potential additional safety monitoring or other trials requested by regulatory agencies;
the phase of development of the product candidate; and
the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate.

Selling and marketing expenses

Our selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of Phexxi commercialization costs, including direct-to-consumer (DTC) and healthcare provider advertising, the Phexxi Concierge Experience, training, salaries, benefits, travel, noncash stock-based compensation expense, and other related costs for our employees and consultants.

We expect our selling and marketing expenses to increase significantly in 2021 compared to 2020 due to the cost of our sales force, which was established in the third quarter of 2020, and as we continue to implement additional Phexxi promotional strategies and initiatives to drive launch uptake.

General and administrative expenses

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits, travel, business development expense, investor and public relations expenses, noncash stock-based compensation, and other related costs for our employees and consultants performing executive, administrative, finance, legal and human resource functions. Other general and administrative expenses include facility-related costs not otherwise included in research and development or selling and marketing, and professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and legal fees, and other costs associated with obtaining and maintaining our patent portfolio.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to decrease slightly in 2021 compared to 2020 due to lower recruiting fees and financing advisory fees.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) consists primarily of interest expense and the change in fair value of financial instruments issued in various capital raise transactions. The change in fair value of financial instruments was recognized as a result of mark-to-market adjustments for these financial instruments.

Advisors LP (the Baker Notes) and the unsecured convertible promissory notes issued to each of Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund, L.P. and Adjuvant Global Health Technology Fund DE, L.P. (the Adjuvant Notes) as described in Note 5- Convertible Notes and a $0.1 million loss from the change in fair value of the Baker Notes as a result of mark-to-market adjustments during the current quarter.

Total other income, net, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, included $0.1 million of interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of March 31, 2021, we had working capital of $4.6 million and an accumulated deficit of $701.6 million. We have financed our operations to date primarily through the issuance of common stock, cash received from private placement transactions, the issuance of convertible notes and, to a lesser extent, product sales. As of March 31, 2021, we had approximately $45.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $18.6 million in restricted cash from the Adjuvant notes that is available for use. Our cash and cash equivalents include amounts held in checking accounts, money market funds, and investments in fixed income debt securities with original maturities of less than three months. We invest cash in excess of immediate requirements in accordance with our investment policy, which limits the amounts we may invest in any one type of investment and requires all investments held by us to maintain minimum ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations so as to primarily achieve liquidity and capital preservation.

We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since inception. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately $28.0 million upon the sale and issuance of common stock from the underwritten public offering in March 2021. On April 6, 2021, the underwriters exercised their overallotment option in full and we received proceeds of approximately $4.2 million, net of underwriting discounts.

We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. We expect research and development expenses to increase in 2021 compared to 2020 due to our Phase 3 EVOGUARD study which was initiated in October 2020. We expect selling and marketing expenses to increase significantly in 2021 compared to 2020 due to the deployment of our commercial sales force that was established in the third quarter of 2020, and as we execute associated promotional strategies and initiatives, including our DTC programs. Lastly, we expect general and administrative expenses to decrease slightly in 2021 compared to 2020 due to lower recruiting fees and financing advisory fees. According to management estimates, our liquidity resources as of March 31, 2021 are not sufficient to maintain our planned level of operations for the next 12 months. In addition, the uncertainties associated with our ability to obtain additional equity financing on terms that are favorable to us or at all, enter into collaborative agreements with strategic partners, and succeed in our future operations raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The opinion of our independent registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Future reports on our financial statements may include an explanatory paragraph with respect to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 included in this Quarterly Report do not include any adjustments relating

to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue our operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused us to delay the commercial launch of Phexxi until September 2020 and has impacted the terms on which we have been able to raise funds. Our ability to raise additional funds, and the terms on which those funds may be raised, will be dependent, in part, on how successful the commercialization of Phexxi is and whether we are able to gain revenue traction prior to raising such additional funds. If the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt and negatively impact the commercialization of Phexxi, our ability to raise additional funds may be negatively impacted, or we may not be able to obtain funding on terms favorable to us or at all. If we are not able to obtain required additional funding, through equity financings or other means, or if we are unable to obtain funding on terms favorable to us, the shortfall in funds raised, or such unfavorable terms, will likely have a material adverse effect on our operations and strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise the funding necessary to implement our current strategic development plan, we may be forced to make reductions in spending, suspend or terminate development programs, extend payment terms with suppliers, liquidate assets where possible, suspend or curtail planned programs, and/or cease operations. Any of these developments would materially and adversely affect our financial condition and business prospects and could even cause us to be unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and, in doing so, we may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our financial statements. Any of these developments would materially and adversely affect the price of our stock and the value of your investment.

2021 Equity Financing

As described in Note 10- Stockholder's Equity, we received net proceeds of approximately $28.0 million in March 2021 upon the issuance of 17,142,857 shares of our common stock from our underwritten public offering, and approximately $4.2 million, net of underwriting discounts, from the issuance of 2,571,428 shares of its common stock upon exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option in April 2021.

2020 Debt and Equity Financing

As described in Note 5- Convertible Notes, we received aggregate gross proceeds of $25.0 million upon the first and second closings of convertible senior secured promissory notes pursuant to the Securities Purchase and Security Agreement (the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement) with certain affiliates of Baker Bros. Advisors LP as purchasers (the Baker Purchasers) during the second quarter of 2020. We also received gross proceeds of $25.0 million from the closing of convertible unsecured promissory notes pursuant to the Adjuvant Purchase Agreement during the fourth quarter of 2020.

As described in Note 10- Stockholder's Equity, we received net aggregate proceeds of $103.7 million in June 2020 upon the issuance and sale of 31,700,000 shares of our common stock from our 2020 Public Offering and net aggregate proceeds of $3.8 million during the first half of 2020 upon the issuance and sale of 676,656 shares of our common stock pursuant to the “at the market” (ATM) program. The ATM program was terminated in June 2020.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the primary use of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was to fund commercialization of our lead product, Phexxi, and to support selling and marketing, and general and administrative operations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the change in net cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash used in investing activities was primarily due to $1.0 million in purchases of property and equipment, offset by a $0.3 million cash inflow from the sale of Softcup line of business.

Table of Contents
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the change in net cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to a $6.7 million cash inflow from maturities of short-term investments, offset by $0.1 million purchases of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the primary source of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was provided from the issuance of 17,142,857 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $28.0 million, net of underwriting discounts.

Operating and Capital Expenditure Requirements

Our specific future operating and capital expense requirements are difficult to forecast, however, we can anticipate the general types of expenses and areas in which they might occur as follows: We expect research and development expenses and selling and marketing expenses to increase significantly in 2021, while we expect general and administrative expenses to decrease slightly in 2021 due to the reasons stated under the Operating Expenses section above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as that term is defined under Item 303 of Regulation S-K, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Other Matters

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the applicable periods. Management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments, on historical experience and on various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Different estimates, assumptions and judgments may change the estimate used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could materially change our results from those reported. Management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis. However, if our assumptions change, we may need to revise our estimates, or take other corrective actions, either of which may also have a material adverse effect on our consolidated statements of operations, liquidity and financial condition. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve significant areas where management applies estimates, assumptions and judgments in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 to our 2020 Audited Financial Statements for our additional accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition and Trade Accounts Receivable

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its product Phexxi in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). The provisions of ASC 606 require the following steps to determine revenue recognition: (1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) Determine the transaction price; (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of the product to a customer. Per the Company’s contracts with customers, control of the product is transferred upon the conveyance of title, which occurs when the product is sold to and received by a customer. The Company’s customers consist of wholesale distributors and a specialty pharmacy. Payment terms typically range from 45 to 66 days, include prompt pay discounts, and vary by customer. Trade accounts receivable due to the Company from contracts with its customers are stated separately in the balance sheet, net of various allowances.

30

Table of Contents
The amount of revenue recognized by the Company is equal to the amount of consideration which is expected to be received from the sale of product to its customers. Revenue is only recognized when it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur in future periods. To determine the amount of revenue to recognize, the Company assesses both the likelihood and magnitude of any such potential reversal of revenue.

Phexxi is sold to customers at the wholesale acquisition cost. However, the Company records product revenue, net of estimates for applicable variable consideration.

Clinical Trial Accruals

As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, we are required to estimate expenses resulting from our obligations under contracts with vendors, CROs and consultants and under clinical site agreements relating to conducting our clinical trials. The financial terms of these contracts vary and may result in payment flows that do not match the periods over which materials or services are provided under such contracts.

Our objective is to reflect the appropriate clinical trial expenses in our condensed consolidated financial statements by recording those expenses in the period in which services are performed and efforts are expended. We account for these expenses according to the progress of the clinical trial as measured by patient progression and the timing of various aspects of the trial. We determine accrual estimates through financial models and discussions with applicable personnel and outside service providers as to the progress of clinical trials.

During a clinical trial, we adjust the clinical expense recognition if actual results differ from estimates. We make estimates of accrued expenses as of each balance sheet date based on the facts and circumstances known at that time. Our clinical trial accruals are partially dependent upon accurate reporting by CROs and other third-party vendors. Although we do not expect estimates to differ materially from actual amounts, our understanding of the status and timing of services performed relative to the actual status and timing of services performed may vary and may result in reporting amounts that are too high or too low for any reporting period. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no material adjustments to our prior period estimates of accrued expenses for clinical trials.

Fair Value of the Baker Notes

We elected the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for the Baker Notes issued pursuant to that certain Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement with the Baker Purchasers, and Baker Bros. Advisors LP, as designated agent, dated April 23, 2020, as they are qualified financial instruments and are, in whole, classified as liabilities. Under the fair value option, we recognized the hybrid debt instrument at fair value inclusive of embedded features. The fair value of the Baker Notes issued, and the change in fair value of the Baker Notes at the reporting date, were determined using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model. Monte Carlo simulation was used to take into account several embedded features and factors including the future value of our common stock, a potential change of control event, the maturity term of the Baker Notes, the probability of an event of voluntary conversion of the Baker Notes, exercise of the put right, and exercise of our call right.

Fair Value of Stock Options and Warrants

The fair value of stock options and warrants issued in various financing transactions, the change in fair value of options and warrants as a result of any modifications to these instruments, and mark-to-market adjustments for liability classified warrants were determined using the Black-Scholes Merton option-pricing model based on the applicable assumptions, which include the exercise price of these options and warrants, time to expiration, expected volatility of our peer group of companies, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend.

Fair Value of Purchase Rights

The fair value of the rights granted to the Baker Purchasers to optionally purchase from the Company up to $10.0 million of Baker Notes, as described in Note 5- Convertible Notes, at the Baker Purchasers’ discretion at any time prior to the Company receiving at least $100.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds from one or more sales of equity securities issued in connection with the Baker Bros. Purchase Agreement, as described in Note 5- Convertible Notes, and the change in fair value of the Baker Purchasers’ option to purchase from the Company up to $10.0 million of Baker Notes upon exercise of such rights, was determined as the maximum of (i) the fair value of rights to purchase the additional $10.0 million Baker Notes and; (ii) the fair value of the shares of on as-if converted basis, which was determined by the lattice model. The fair value of rights to purchase the accompanying 2,049,180 warrants was valued using a Geske option-pricing model. The Geske model was based on the applicable assumptions, including the underlying stock price, warrant exercise price, the exercise price of the rights to purchase the warrants, the term of the warrants, the term of the rights to purchase the warrants, expected volatility of the Company’s peer group, risk-free interest rate and expected dividend.

Table of Contents
Inventories

Inventories, consisting of purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overheads, are stated at the lower of cost, or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate ending inventories for excess quantities, obsolescence, or shelf-life expiration. The evaluation includes an analysis of our current and future strategic plans, anticipated future sales, the price projections of future demand, and the remaining shelf life of goods on hand. To the extent that we determine there are excess or obsolete inventory or quantities with a shelf life that is too near its expiration for us to reasonably expect that it can sell those products prior to their expiration, we adjust the carrying value to estimated net realizable value.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our latest fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we may be involved in various disputes and litigation matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings.
