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 September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $431 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;

continues to commercialize Twirla and seek increased uptake 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 September 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million. We believe our current cash will support operations through December 31, 2022.

The Company has generated losses since inception, used substantial cash in operations, 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. If the Company is unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, the Company then will be unable to continue the commercialization of Twirla, and be required to

cut operating costs, and forego future development and other opportunities. 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 unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2022 have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern for the next 12 months.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.

The accompanying unaudited 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.
