What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

• Cost optimization materially reduced operating expenses (FY 2024 OpEx $6.5M vs $9.8M in 2023; -33.6%), supporting improved net loss from continuing operations (FY $(2.3)M vs $(7.7)M in 2023) .
• License revenue increased 35.3% YoY to $1.8M in FY 2024, driven by changes in sales of licensed products (Mayne License Agreement) .
• Management emphasized strategic optionality: “The Company continues to evaluate a variety of strategic alternatives that may include, but not be limited to, an acquisition, merger, other business combination, sale of assets, or other strategic transactions…” .

What Went Wrong

• Revenue variability remained pronounced intra-year (Q2 license revenue down 46.5% YoY to $0.234M , followed by recovery to $0.547M in Q3 ), highlighting dependence on licensee sell-through and periodic adjustments; Q3 2023 included product sales adjustments causing negative reported license revenue .
• Q2 operating expenses were partially offset by a patent impairment, indicating residual non-core charges during the transition to a royalty model .
• Lack of formal guidance and limited analyst coverage/consensus diminishes transparency and hinders near-term beat/miss tracking; management also flags risks including Nasdaq listing status, potential impacts from Mayne Pharma Group’s agreement to be acquired by Cosette Pharmaceuticals, and share price volatility .

Management Commentary

• “The Company continues to evaluate a variety of strategic alternatives that may include, but not be limited to, an acquisition, merger, other business combination, sale of assets, or other strategic transactions involving the Company.”
• “License revenue, primarily from the Mayne License Agreement, totaled $1.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $0.5 million, or 35.3%, compared to $1.3 million… The increase is primarily attributable to changes in sales of licensed products.”
• “Total operating expenses for 2024 were $6.5 million, a decrease of $3.3 million, or 33.6%… due to the further optimization of the Company’s business… transition from a commercial business to a royalty-based business.”
• Q2 context: “Total operating expenses… were $2.7 million… partially off-set by the patent impairment recognized in the second quarter of 2024.”
• Q3 context: “Reported negative license revenue… in the third quarter of 2023 was due to product sales adjustments reported by our licensees.”

Estimates Context

• S&P Global consensus estimates were unavailable for EPS and revenue for the periods requested; therefore, beat/miss analysis against Wall Street consensus could not be determined. Investors should focus on intra-year sequential trends and the FY YoY improvements tied to licensee sales and cost optimization .
• Reported actuals (for context): Q2 revenue $0.234M , Q3 $0.547M , Q4 $0.667M*, FY $1.8M . Values marked with an asterisk (*) retrieved from S&P Global.

Key Takeaways for Investors

• The royalty-only model is taking hold: FY license revenue grew 35.3% YoY while OpEx fell 33.6%, materially shrinking the net loss; monitor if Q4 strength ($0.667M*) is sustainable as licensee sell-through normalizes .
• Near-term trading narrative is driven by strategic alternatives; any update (merger/asset sale) could be a catalyst given the company’s small operating base and cash position ($5.1M at YE) .
• Watch Mayne Pharma Group’s agreement to be acquired by Cosette Pharmaceuticals for potential downstream effects on TXMD’s royalty stream and operational arrangements; management flags this as a risk .
• Revenue volatility remains a core risk, evidenced by Q2 softness and prior-year adjustments; focus on quarterly variability and disclosures around licensee product sales .
• With limited guidance and sparse sell-side coverage, internal modeling should lean on sequential trends, cost base trajectory, and any non-recurring charges (e.g., impairments) .
• Balance sheet stability (approx. $5.1M cash at YE) provides runway to continue evaluating strategic options, but listing and volatility risks are non-trivial .
• Actionable: trade around strategic update headlines and quarterly license revenue prints; medium term, thesis depends on durability of royalty inflows and the outcome of strategic review .
