Description of Business

Myovant Sciences Ltd. (or together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, the Company) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing innovative therapies for women’s health and endocrine diseases. The Company is developing its lead product candidate, relugolix, for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids, endometriosis-associated pain and advanced prostate cancer, and its second product candidate, MVT-602, for the treatment of female infertility as part of assisted reproduction.

The Company is an exempted limited company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda in February 2016 under the name Roivant Endocrinology Ltd. The Company changed its name to Myovant Sciences Ltd., or MSL, in May 2016. The Company has four wholly owned subsidiaries. Roivant Endocrinology Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in April 2016 and subsequently changed its name to Myovant Sciences, Inc., or MSI. Myovant Holdings Limited, or MHL, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, and Myovant Sciences GmbH, or MSG, a company with limited liability formed under the laws of Switzerland, were each organized in August 2016. Myovant Sciences Ireland Limited, or MSIL, a company with limited liability formed under the laws of Ireland, was organized in April 2017. MSG holds the Company's intellectual property rights and is the Company’s principal operating subsidiary.

Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to organizing the Company, acquiring its product candidates, and preparing for and advancing the clinical development of its product candidates. The Company has two product candidates under development, relugolix and MVT-602, both of which were licensed from Takeda Pharmaceuticals International AG, or Takeda, on April 29, 2016.

The Company has determined that it has one operating and reporting segment as it allocates resources and assesses financial performance on a consolidated basis. The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant and increasing operating losses at least for the next several years. The Company does not expect to generate revenue unless and until it successfully completes development and obtains regulatory approval for one of its product candidates. The Company believes it currently has sufficient funds to meet its financial needs for at least the next 12 months, if it makes reductions in spending. The Company may be required to obtain further funding through other public or private offerings of its share capital, debt financing, collaboration and licensing arrangements or other sources. Adequate additional funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms, or at all.
