1. Organization and Description of Business

Nature of Operations

Agile Therapeutics, Inc. (“Agile” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on December 22, 1997. Agile is a women’s healthcare company dedicated to fulfilling the unmet health needs of today’s women. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted principally of raising capital, performing research and development, including development of the Company’s lead product, Twirla, and more recently commercializing Twirla. The Company is headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey.

The Company’s sole approved product, Twirla®, also known prior to its approval as AG200-15, is a once-weekly prescription contraceptive patch that received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, in February 2020 and was commercially launched in early December 2020. Substantially all of the Company’s resources are currently dedicated to commercializing Twirla in the United States. The Company has generated minimal product revenue to date and is subject to a number of risks similar to those of other early stage companies, including, but not limited to, dependence on key individuals, the difficulties and uncertainties inherent in the development of commercially usable products, market acceptance of products, protection of proprietary technology, the potential need to obtain additional capital necessary to fund the development of its products, reliance on a consistent supply chain both for Twirla and in general, macroeconomic factors such as inflation, competition from larger companies and compliance with FDA and other government regulations. If the Company does not successfully commercialize Twirla, it will be unable to generate recurring product revenue or achieve profitability. The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities each year since inception. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $411 million.

The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating expenses for the foreseeable future in connection with its ongoing activities, as the Company:

maintains a sales and marketing infrastructure to support the continued commercialization of Twirla in the United States;

works towards completing its post-marketing evaluations of Twirla agreed upon with the FDA upon Twirla’s approval;

continues to evaluate additional line extensions for Twirla and initiates development of potential product candidates in addition to Twirla;
maintains, leverages and expands the Company’s intellectual property portfolio; and
maintains operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support the Company’s product development and future commercialization efforts.

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance and sale of its common stock in both public and private offerings (see Note 8), private placements of its convertible preferred stock, venture loans, and non-dilutive grant funding.

Going Concern

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13.0 million and a working capital deficit of $10.3 million. On July 6, 2022, the Company completed a best efforts public offering (the “Offering”) in which the Company raised $22.2 million through the sale of 19,148,332 shares of common stock and 7,518,334 pre-funded warrants (“Series B pre-funded warrants”) to purchase 7,518,334 shares of common stock. Both the sale of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants were accompanied by Series A-1 and Series A-2 warrants (together the “Series A warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock. The Company expects that its current liquidity is sufficient to fund operations through the end of 2022. The Company closely monitors its cash and cash equivalents and will have to raise additional capital to meet its projected operating requirements, including the continued commercialization of Twirla, exploring the advancement of its existing pipeline and its possible expansion through business development activities.

The Company has generated losses since inception, used substantial cash in operations, has a working capital deficit at June 30, 2022 and anticipates it will continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future. The Company’s future success depends on its ability to obtain additional capital and/or implement various strategic alternatives, and there can be no assurance that any financing can be realized by the Company, or if realized, what the terms of any such financing may be, or that any amount that the Company is able to raise will be adequate. Based upon the foregoing, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through the 12 months following the date on which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is filed.

The Company continues to analyze various strategic alternatives, including refinancing alternatives, asset sales and mergers and acquisitions. The Company’s future success depends on its ability to raise additional capital as discussed above. The Company cannot be certain that these initiatives or raising additional capital, whether through selling additional debt or equity securities or obtaining a line of credit or other loan, will be available to it or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company issues additional securities to raise funds, these securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of its common stock, and the Company’s current stockholders will experience dilution. If the Company is unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, the Company then may be unable to continue the commercialization of Twirla, and may also be required to cut operating costs, and forego future development and other opportunities.

The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2022 have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its uncertain ability to obtain additional capital, reduce expenditures and/or execute on its business plan and successfully commercialize Twirla. The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2022 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, it may have to liquidate its assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on the financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP has been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial information for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. Certain expense classifications have been made to prior periods to conform with current reporting. Specifically, $263,000 of general and administrative expenses were reclassified to selling and marketing expenses for the three months ending June 30, 2021, and $363,000 of general and administrative expenses were reclassified to selling and marketing expenses for the six months ending June 30, 2021.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a basis which assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. If the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors impact the Company’s current business plan or its ability to generate revenue from the launch of Twirla, the Company believes it has the ability to revise its commercial plans, including curtailing sales and marketing spending, to allow it to continue to fund its operations.
