What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Delivered operating income ($1.0M reported; $0.95M GAAP “income from operations”) on 10% YoY net sales growth, aided by reduced OpEx and a one-time gain from royalty liability accounting change .
- Commercial progress and demand drivers: WAC price increase on PHEXXI effective Jan 1, slight PHEXXI unit growth, and a full quarter of SOLOSEC net sales supported revenue rebound; CEO: “Sales rebounded… 10% higher than the same quarter last year” .
- Strategic advances: SOLOSEC dossier filed in UAE under MENA license; manufacturing strategies to reduce COGS by ~50% to expand margins and enable entry into price-sensitive markets .
What Went Wrong
- Bottom-line remained negative: net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(1.68)M despite operating profitability, pressured by other expenses (including change in fair value of financial instruments) .
- Balance sheet constraints persist: restricted cash of $0.8M; stockholders’ deficit widened to $(75.07)M as of Sep 30, 2025 .
- Strategic uncertainty from merger termination with Aditxt; company now must independently secure capital and execute listing plans, which adds financing and execution risk .

Estimates Context
- S&P Global/Capital IQ Q3 2025 consensus estimates for EVFM EPS and revenue were unavailable; as a result, we cannot assess beat/miss relative to Street for this quarter (values retrieved from S&P Global).*
- Given operating performance (positive operating income) alongside continued net loss due to other expenses, analysts may revisit OpEx trajectory, sustainability of one-time gains, and margin outlook as COGS initiatives progress .
KPIs and Operational Metrics
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Operating turnaround: Achieving operating profitability is notable; however, bottom-line loss persists due to non-operating items; monitor sustainability absent one-time gains .
- Margin pathway: ~50% COGS reduction initiatives for both products are central to expanding per-unit profit and enabling price-sensitive market entry; watch execution timelines and mix impact .
- International catalyst: SOLOSEC’s UAE submission is the first ex-U.S. regulatory milestone; initial orders post-approval could diversify revenue in 2026 .
- Strategy reset: Post-merger termination, capital raising and relisting efforts become key drivers; management targets sustainable positive EBITDA in 2027—execution risk remains .
- Demand signals: Marketing campaigns continue to bolster awareness and engagement; track conversion from social metrics to prescriptions and net sales .
- Balance sheet watch: Low restricted cash and significant stockholders’ deficit highlight funding needs; capital market outcomes will influence runway and growth plans .
- Estimates unavailable: With no S&P Global consensus, focus on company-operational guideposts (COGS actions, international approvals, sales trajectory) until coverage resumes (values retrieved from S&P Global).*
Cross-References and Notes
- The press release’s “$1.0M operating income” corresponds to GAAP “Income from operations” of $0.951M; the difference reflects rounding and presentation. The $1.9M gain on contingent royalty liability materially lowered operating expenses in Q3 .
- Revenue drivers include PHEXXI WAC increase, slight PHEXXI unit growth, and a full quarter of SOLOSEC net sales; these underpinned the YoY net sales increase .
- No formal numeric guidance (revenue, margins, OpEx, OI&E, tax rate, dividends) was disclosed in Q3 materials .
