Exhibit 99.1

Evofem Biosciences Provides Corporate Update and Announces Upcoming Milestones

- Company to Resubmit New Drug Application (NDA) for Amphora as Hormone-free Birth Control in Q2 2019 Based on Positive Top-line Phase 3 Study Results -

San Diego, Jan. 3, 2019 - Evofem Biosciences, Inc., (NASDAQ: EVFM)today provided insight into anticipated 2019 milestones and events across its clinical pipeline. The Company recently reported that its Phase 3 trial evaluating Amphora® for the prevention of pregnancy met its primary endpoint, and plans to resubmit the Amphora NDA in the second quarter of 2019. Additional highlights are below.

“We made substantial clinical progress in 2018, highlighted by our successful Phase 3 clinical trial of Amphora for the prevention of pregnancy, and remain committed to translating this into increased shareholder value,” said Saundra Pelletier, Chief Executive Officer of Evofem Biosciences. “We expect 2019 to be a pivotal year for Evofem as we focus on refiling the Amphora NDA and establishing the commercial infrastructure to successfully launch this first-in-class Multipurpose Vaginal pH Regulator™ for hormone-free birth control in January 2020.”

2019 Planned Objectives:

– Resubmit Amphora NDA the second quarter of 2019.

– Present data from AMPOWER, the recently-completed Phase 3 clinical trial of Amphora for the prevention of pregnancy, including data on exploratory secondary endpoint of sexual satisfaction, at an appropriate medical meeting.

– Complete enrollment in AMPREVENCE, the Phase 2b clinical trial of Amphora for the prevention of urogenital acquisition of Chlamydia trachomatis (primary endpoint) and Neisseria gonorrhea (secondary endpoint) in women, in the first half of 2019.

– Report top-line AMPREVENCE data in the fourth quarter of 2019.

– Secure partnership for commercialization of Amphora in at least one ex-U.S. market.

2018 Recent Highlights:

– Reported positive top-line AMPOWER results which met the Phase 3 study’s primary efficacy endpoint. Data demonstrated 86.0% efficacy (referred to as typical use) and 98.7% efficacy when Amphora was used as directed per study protocol.

– Announced detailed results of the Consumer Survey, which revealed that 88% of subjects were not using any birth control method prior to entering the AMPOWER study. These findings underscore that currently available contraceptive methods are insufficient to meet the needs of women.

– Advanced enrollment in the Phase 2b AMPREVENCE trial with over 70% of the planned 844 women enrolled at year-end 2018.

– Hosted Key Opinion Leader event on new perspectives in birth control, featuring presentations on Amphora’s potential, if approved, to drive change in women’s birth control choices.

– Presented data at the 2018 American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Annual Congress from two clinical trials of Amphora, AMP001 and EVO-002.

– Completed public offering raising net proceeds of $36.4 million.
