AboutPrescriptionData

The Company receives prescription data for Twirla from Symphony Health Solutions, and the data arenot created or owned by the Company. Prescription data are available through other subscriptionservicesaswell,suchasIQVIA. Unless otherwise noted, theprescriptiondataresultsreportedinthispressreleasearereportedasofDecember 31,2023,by SymphonyHealthSolutions.Theprescriptiondatatermsaredefinedasfollows: Twirlacycles dispensedarethe numberof3-patchpackages dispensed.

Each3-patchpackage represents one 28-day cycle of therapy. Total Cycles Dispensed represents every cycle dispensed frombothretailandnon-retailchannels.Retailchannelsincluderetailpharmacies,mailorder,andlong-termcare while non-retail channels include clinics and hospitals and other entities where prescriptions aredispensed directly to the patient. Total prescriptions (TRx) are the total number of prescriptionsdispensed through the retail channels. This represents both new and refill prescriptions. Newprescriptions (NRx) are new prescriptions dispensed through retail channels. Refill prescriptions (RRx)are refill prescriptions filled through retail channels. Total prescribers are the cumulative number ofprescriberswhose prescriptionswerefilledthroughretail channelssince launch. Not all prescription demand in the non-retail channel is reported into third parties like Symphony Health Solutions and IQVIA. The factory sales reported from Twirla wholesalers do include sales to the non-retail channel and, therefore, the Company believes factory sales more closely represent the total demand for Twirla across all channels.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we use non-GAAP net loss to measure our financial performance. We define the term non-GAAP net loss as GAAP net loss excluding recurring unrealized gains or losses pertaining to liability classified warrants. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial metrics provides useful information about our operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, allows for greater transparency with respect to metrics used by our management in its financial and operational decision-making and produces a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of our business.

The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, and therefore, may not be comparable among companies. We believe the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance; however, we urge investors to review the reconciliation of this financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures included in the accompanying tables, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.
