Recent Corporate Developments
- On June 17, 2021, Femasys announced the pricing of its initial public offering of 2,650,000 shares of its common stock at a public price of $13.00 per share. The net proceeds to Femasys from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and legal expenses, totaled $31,613,500. Shares began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 18, 2021, under the ticker symbol “FEMY”. The offering closed on June 22, 2021.
- On June 24, 2021, Femasys announced the appointment of Anne Morrissey to the company’s board of directors. Ms. Morrissey brings decades of experience to Femasys. Most recently, Anne served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Alydia Health from 2016 to 2020, and thereafter as an advisor until it was acquired by Merck in March 2021.

Recent Developments Related to Clinical Programs
- On April 8, 2021, Femasys received IDE approval to begin a multi-center, pivotal clinical trial (the “LOCAL trial”) of FEMASEED, a first-in-class, localized directional insemination product candidate for infertility.
- On July 20, 2021, Femasys announced the initiation and first patient treated in the LOCAL trial. The trial is being conducted across approximately 20 centers in the United States and is expected to enroll up to 792 patients diagnosed as infertile. The primary endpoints of the study are to determine the effectiveness (clinical pregnancy rate) and safety over a period of 7 weeks. Enrollment in this trial is ongoing.
Second Quarter (Three-Months) 2021 Financial Results:
- Research and Development expenses increased 0.7%, to $894,868 for the second quarter of 2021 compared the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to compensation and personnel related costs, an increase in clinical-related costs related to FemBloc studies, but was offset by decreases in material and development costs and other costs.
- General and Administrative expenses increased by $507,774, or 93.4% to $1,051,399 for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $412,076 in professional costs associated with the company’s financing transactions and other administrative costs, such as insurance.
- Sales of the Company’s FemVue product, increased by $142,772, or 77.9%, to $326,006 from $183,234 for the second quarter of 2021. The net sales increase accounted for a decrease in sales for the three-months ending June 30, 2020 due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. U.S. sales comprised a 46.3% increase for the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year.
- Primarily reflecting the factors noted above, net loss was $1,083,059, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021, compared to $1,485,451, or $1.55 per diluted for the second quarter of 2020.
- The cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2021 was $29,858,868. The Company expects, based on its current operating plan, that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with the net proceeds from the IPO, will be sufficient to fund its operations at least through 2022.
Year to Date 2021 (Six-Months) Financial Results:
- Research and Development expenses decreased by $349,512, or 15.6% to $1,889,890 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of $170,249 in compensation and related personnel costs due to the reduction in staff in March 2020, along with a decrease in clinical-related costs related to FemBloc studies and decreases in material and development costs.
- General and Administrative expenses increased by $749,569, or 62.8%, to $1,943,386 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was largely due to an increase of $740,734 in professional costs associated with the Company’s financing transactions.
- Sales of the Company’s FemVue product increased by $212,035, or 47.8%, to $655,781 from $443,746 for the six-months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was attributed to a $156,240 increase in U.S. sales and a $55,795 increase in international sales, primarily due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Primarily reflecting the factors noted above, net loss decreased to $2,913,291, or $1.89 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30 2021, as compared to a net loss of $3,687,178, or $3.86 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
