  • Risks Related to Commercialization of PHEXX, SOLOSEC, and Any Other Approved Products ● Our success will depend heavily on whether we can successfully commercialize PHEXX for prevention of pregnancy, and SOLOSEC, for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and trichomoniasis (Trich). ● If we are unable to maintain effective internal sales and marketing capabilities, or to enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our products, our ability to continue to successfully commercialize our products and generate revenue would be adversely affected. ● Our use of social media platforms to market and promote our prescription products, presents risks and operational challenges. ● We face competition from other medical device, biotechnology, and biopharmaceutical companies and our operating results will suffer if we are unable to compete effectively. ● PHEXX, SOLOSEC, and any other approved products we promote may not gain sufficient market acceptance among physicians, patients or the medical community, thereby limiting our potential to generate revenue, which will undermine our future growth prospects. ● The telehealth market continues to develop.
  • If the telehealth industry encounters negative publicity over privacy issues, fails to engage sufficient numbers of providers, or if limitations on reimbursement or new state law regulatory requirements impede our ability to implement our telehealth strategy, the growth of our business may be harmed. ● The success of PHEXX will depend on the availability of competitive products and women’s preferences. ● The commercial success of PHEXX, SOLOSEC and/or any future products we promote will depend in significant measure on the label claims that the FDA or other regulatory authorities approve for those products. ● The FDA and other regulatory agencies actively enforce laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses for prescription drugs and medical devices.

  • Risks Related to Our Post-Marketing Legal and Regulatory Compliance ● Even though we have obtained FDA approval for PHEXX for prevention of pregnancy and of SOLOSEC for the treatment of BV and Trich, we remain subject to ongoing regulatory requirements. ● Developments after a product reaches the market may adversely affect sales of the product. ● Product liability lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit commercialization of our Products. ● If we fail to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, we could become subject to fines or penalties or incur costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. ● The FDA and other regulatory agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations relating to the promotion of our products.
  • Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property ● ThereapeuticsMD may take adverse action against the Company and its use of the PHEXX mark. ● If we are unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for PHEXX or SOLOSEC, or if the scope of the patent protection we have or will obtain is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize products and technology similar or identical to our products and technology, and our ability to successfully commercialize PHEXX and/or SOLOSEC may be adversely affected. ● We may not be able to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights throughout the world. ● Obtaining and maintaining our patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment, and other requirements imposed by government patent agencies, and our patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements. ● Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products. ● Issued patents covering PHEXX or SOLOSEC could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court or before administrative bodies in the U.S. or abroad. ● An Event of Default under the secured notes issued pursuant to the Baker Bros.
  • Purchase Agreement, as amended, could allow the secured creditor to take possession of all assets owned by us, including any directly owned intellectual property pertaining to PHEXX. ● The Company received two Notice of Defaults from their largest creditor, Future Pak, LLC, alleging a number of Events of Default, accelerating the Principal due and payable and declaring the termination of the existing Forbearance Agreement. ● We may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship of our patents and other intellectual property. ● If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets, our business and competitive position would be harmed. ● We may be subject to claims that our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers. ● We may be at risk that our former employees may wrongfully use or disclose our trade secrets. ● We may be subject to claims that our employees, consultants, or advisors have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their current or former employers or claims asserting ownership of what we regard as our own intellectual property. ● Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement induced intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violation against us or our collaborators may prevent or delay the commercialization of our product. ● In the ordinary course of business, we have been and again may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents and other intellectual property rights, which could be expensive, time consuming, and unsuccessful. ● If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then we may not be able to build name recognition in our markets of interest and our business may be adversely affected. ● Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats.
  • Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties ● Our success relies on third-party suppliers and two contract manufacturers. ● We have no significant internal distribution capabilities. ● We rely on third parties for the delivery of telehealth services through the PHEXX telehealth platform. ● If we are unable to enter into or maintain strategic relationships or collaborations with respect to PHEXX for the prevention of pregnancy, or if we are unable to realize the potential benefits from such collaborations, our business, financial condition, commercialization prospects and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. ● We enter into various contracts in the normal course of our business in which we indemnify the other party to the contract.
  • Risks Related to Our Commercialization of Health Care Products ● Our products may face follow-on competition sooner than anticipated. ● Changes in health care laws and regulations may eliminate current requirements for health insurance plans to cover and reimburse FDA-cleared or FDA-approved contraceptive products without cost sharing, which could reduce demand for products such as PHEXX. ● Despite FDA-approval for our products and even if we are successful in obtaining additional products to commercialize in the U.S., revenues may be adversely affected if our products do not obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payers in the U.S. ● The pharmaceutical and medical device industries are highly regulated and subject to various fraud and abuse, data privacy, transparency, and other health care laws, including, without limitation, the U.S.

  • We can face criminal liability and other serious consequences for violations which can harm our business. ● We or the third parties upon whom we depend may be adversely affected by earthquakes, medical epidemics or pandemics, or other natural disasters including wildfires.
  • Risks Related to Our Common and Preferred Stock ● There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of OTCID. ● Our stock price is and may continue to be volatile. ● There may not be an active, liquid trading market for our equity securities. ● Because our Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules, brokers cannot generally solicit the purchase of our Common Stock, which adversely affects its liquidity and market price. ● We may need to increase in our authorized capital, effectuate a reverse split or obtain effective waivers from derivative securityholders. ● Our Common Stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock, convertible securities, warrants or options. ● A significant portion of our total outstanding shares of Common Stock may be sold into the public market at any time, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well. ● We are and may continue to be subject to short-selling strategies. ● We identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and these or other material weaknesses could continue to materially impair our ability to report accurate financial information in a timely manner. ● We are a “smaller reporting company”, and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies may make our Common Stock less attractive to investors. ● We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future; capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain as a holder of our Common Stock. ● Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our bylaws or Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company or changes in our management and, therefore, depress the trading price of our Common Stock. ● Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us. ● Our business could be negatively affected as a result of the actions of activist stockholders. ● We may become a defendant in one or more stockholder derivative or class-action litigation(s), and any such future lawsuit(s) may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
  • As of February 28, 2026, we had approximately $12.7 million in accounts payable with approximately $10.4 million that is over 90 days past due.

  • There is no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital to fund our operations or that debt or equity financings will be available in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms.
  • We have incurred yearly losses and negative cash flows since our inception, other than net income of $0.4 million (excluding deemed dividends) for the year ended December 31, 2025, primarily attributable to a non-cash gain on change in accounting estimates on contingent royalty liability and settlement of a portion of its trade payables with vendors, and net income of $53.0 million (excluding deemed dividends) for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was primarily attributable to a non-cash gain on debt extinguishment.
  • As of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $897.4 million.
  • To date, we have devoted substantially all our financial resources to the development and commercialization of PHEXX for hormone-free contraception, to clinical trials investigating the potential utility of PHEXX for the prevention of chlamydia and gonorrhea, and development of our other product candidates, as well as providing general and administrative support for our operations.
  • Our utilization of cash has historically been highly dependent on these development programs and the commercialization of PHEXX in the U.S.
  • In October 2022, we discontinued our clinical programs to allocate capital to fund our continued commercialization efforts.
  • To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, promissory notes, warrants, convertible notes, convertible preferred stock and through other debt arrangements.
  • The amount of our future net losses will depend, in large part, on our ability to generate revenue from the sale of PHEXX and SOLOSEC, the rate of our future expenditures and our ability to obtain additional funding through equity or debt financings, strategic collaborations or grants which may be particularly challenging or impossible in light of market conditions.
  • We expect to continue to incur significant operating expenses and to continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future as we: ● incur sales, marketing, and distribution costs to commercialize PHEXX and SOLOSEC; ● incur costs associated with the commercial manufacturing of PHEXX and SOLOSEC; ● implement post-approval changes and process improvements to manufacturing; ● seek regulatory and marketing approvals for PHEXX and/or SOLOSEC outside the US; ● seek reimbursement for PHEXX, SOLOSEC, or any product(s) we may commercialize in the future ● continue our efforts to identify, assess, acquire, and/or commercialize other products; ● make milestone, royalty or other payments under third-party license agreements; ● make payments related to debt agreements; ● seek to maintain, protect, and expand our intellectual property portfolio; and ● seek to attract and retain skilled personnel.
  • Due to the recurring losses, negative cash flows from operating activities since inception, and a net working deficit at December 31, 2025, the report of our independent registered public accountant on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 includes explanatory language describing the existence of substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
  • In addition, our management has further determined that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next 12 months from the filing date of March 11, 2026.
  • Our current business is substantially dependent on the commercial success of PHEXX, and to a lesser extent, SOLOSEC.
  • The commercial launch of PHEXX took place on September 8, 2020, and although we have generated revenue from sales of PHEXX, we may never achieve or sustain profitability, even with the addition of revenue from SOLOSEC since we acquired global rights to the product in July 2024.
  • Our ability to generate revenue and achieve and sustain profitability depends on our ability, alone or with strategic collaborators, to successfully commercialize PHEXX and SOLOSEC and, to a lesser extent, any future products we may license, acquire, or otherwise commercialize.
  • Our ability to generate future revenue from product sales depends heavily on our success in many areas, including, but not limited to: ● the rate and degree of market acceptance for PHEXX, SOLOSEC and any other products in our commercial portfolio; ● the effectiveness of our commercialization strategies, either directly or with distribution partners, including the effectiveness of our sales force, the PHEXX telehealth platform, media and digital campaigns, and contracted tele-sales vendor; ● reimbursement and pricing for PHEXX, SOLOSEC and any other approved products in our commercial portfolio in amounts that support profitability; ● successfully competing against other products; ● manufacturing PHEXX and SOLOSEC and establishing and maintaining supply and manufacturing relationships with third parties that are commercially feasible, as well as complying with applicable regulatory requirements and meeting our supply needs in sufficient quantities to meet market demand for our products; ● obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval of PHEXX (Femidence) and/or SOLOSEC in territories outside of the U.S.; ● protecting, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets and know-how; ● negotiating favorable terms in any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements into which we may enter; and ● attracting, hiring and retaining qualified personnel.
  • In addition, we provide co-pay assistance to commercially insured patients with an approved PHEXX or SOLOSEC prescription and utilize a sample program to promote demand for our products.
  • While the co-pay program reduces the amount of profit we realize per unit sold, it is a value-add program to patients that we aim to continue in 2026.
