Femasys Inc. Announces Financial Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2022 and Provides Corporate Update
- 2022 was a landmark year for women in the U.S. due to the overturn of Roe v. Wade which underscored the importance of potential
reproductive health options like Femasys' FemBloc for permanent birth control and FemaSeed for infertility
- The commercial launches of FemCathTM and FemCerv broaden options for women while Femasys continues
advancing development of its lead clinical programs FemBloc and FemaSeed
ATLANTA, March 30, 2023 -- Femasys Inc. (NASDAQ: FEMY), a biomedical company aiming to meet women's needs by developing a suite of products and product candidates that
include minimally invasive, in-office technologies for reproductive health, today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2022 and provided a corporate update.
"This past year was a watershed moment for women in the United States with the overturn of the landmark Roe
v. Wade case by the U.S. Supreme Court," stated Kathy Lee-Sepsick, founder, president and chief executive officer. "The Court's decision made us more determined than ever to bring our novel permanent birth control solution, FemBloc
and infertility solution, FemaSeed , to women in the U.S. and around the world. The excitement about our FemBloc and FemaSeed programs was palpable during our recent participation in a panel at the South by Southwest conference where the impact of the Dobbs decision on reproductive health was discussed. With the recent challenges and unmet needs that are highly apparent in women's health, we are both
energized and inspired in the new year as we become closer to providing safe and affordable alternatives for women worldwide throughout the spectrum of reproduction."

Ms. Lee-Sepsick added, "In addition to the commercial availability of FemCerv and FemCath last year, we've made great progress on advancing our lead FemBloc and FemaSeed
clinical programs, continuing the momentum into this year. In October of last year, we announced that we were 25% enrolled for the FemaSeed de novo pivotal trial after updating the study design to focus on couples experiencing male factor
infertility, an underserved population. After completing enrollment in our Stage 2 study of FemBloc in the fourth quarter of last year, we remain on track to file an investigational device exemption (IDE) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
for a pivotal trial to support Premarket approval (PMA) for FemBloc."
Full Year 2022 Financial Results
Research and Development expenses were $5,813,755
for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $4,084,304 in the same period of 2021.
The increase was primarily due to increases in compensation and related personnel costs primarily in salaries, fringe benefits and share-based compensation expense due to
an increase in headcount, clinical-related costs, professional and outside consultant costs, and other costs all to mainly support our clinical trials.
General and Administrative expenses were $5,430,704
for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $4,262,002 for the same period of 2021. The increase was largely due to various additional costs associated with being a public company including an increase in compensation and related personnel
costs, facility and other overhead costs mainly for additional directors & officers (D&O) insurance, and professional costs.
Sales increased by $26,529, or 2.2%, to $1,206,218
for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $1,179,689 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Sales and marketing expenses were $558,852 for the
year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $208,735 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The net increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation and related personnel costs due to an increase in headcount and sales and marketing costs
primarily to promote our FemVue product.
Cost of sales increased
to $441,938 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $370,384 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in cost of sales was mainly due an increase in material costs, production personnel labor and overhead costs applied to our
cost of sales compared to the same period last year. As a result, gross margin percentage was 63.4% in 2022 as compared to 68.6% in 2021. We expect to see improvement in our gross margin in the future as we are investing in equipment and tooling
which will enable us to reduce labor in certain manufacturing processes and reduce material costs as well.
Net loss was $11,394,170 or $0.96 per basic and
diluted share attributable to common stockholders, primarily reflecting the factors noted above, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $7,537,845, or $1.12 per basic and diluted share attributable to common stockholders, for the year
ended December 31, 2021.
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022
was $12,961,936. The Company expects, based on its current operating plan, that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations into the first quarter of 2024.
FemaSeed is a first-of-its-kind infertility solution in development for directional intrauterine insemination that delivers sperm to the fallopian tube where conception occurs. It is
intended to augment natural fertilization and provide a first-line treatment option for infertility. FemaSeed is designed to be less invasive and more affordable than assisted reproduction, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic
sperm injection (ICSI).
FemBloc is a first-of-its-kind, nonsurgical, non-implant, in-office solution in development for permanent birth control. It is intended to be a safer option for women
by eliminating the need for anesthesia, incisions, and permanent implants. FemBloc has the potential to offer women a convenient and reliable option for permanent birth control.
In July 2022, Femasys hosted a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Event with Paul D. Blumenthal, MD, MPH, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at The Stanford University Medical
Center to discuss FemBloc. To listen to a replay of this event, please click here.
FemVue is the first FDA-cleared product that creates natural saline and air contrast and enables safe,
reliable, and real time evaluation of the fallopian tubes with ultrasound. When performed with a uterine cavity assessment, a more comprehensive exam can be achieved from the comfort of the GYN's office.
FemCath is the first FDA-cleared product that allows for selective evaluation of the fallopian tubes by using in conjunction with the FemVue device. The ultrasound-based
diagnostic test is part of an infertility evaluation, which is essential prior to any infertility treatment, including with our other biomedical solution in development, FemaSeed.
FemCerv is the first FDA-cleared endocervical tissue sampler designed to improve tissue quality and quantity in a pain-free manner that is expected to be an improvement
over the existing standard of care. FemCerv can be used in conjunction with colposcopy and is intended to capture and protect a comprehensive 360-degree tissue sample in a relatively pain-free office visit.
